Chapter 35: Shopkeeper Lin, I am lucky to get acquainted with you!
Lin Mo looked at Ying Zheng with a melancholy look on his face, and frowned: "It shouldn't be!" Brother Zhao, you look like a dragon and a phoenix, and you have a lot of money, how can you still be single? ”
"There was a marriage, but then ...... It's over. ”
Lin Mo suddenly realized that Ying Zheng had come to drink with him because of his love at that time.
"Brother Zhao, don't be too sad, no, you can also let Xiao Li introduce you. We are all ordinary people in Daqin, and this marriage event cannot be delayed, otherwise it will violate the Qin law. We must be good citizens who abide by the law, and at the same time, we must also make a contribution to the population of Daqin. ”
Yingzheng, who was originally full of sadness, gradually had a smile on his face.
In Xianyang Palace, Ying Zheng, who has always been under a lot of pressure, can only get the long-lost ease here in Lin Mo.
"Shopkeeper Lin, I am fortunate to get acquainted with you."
"Brother Zhao, it's only because I've been lucky in my three lives, and I still have to rely on you to take me to soar. It's not early, why don't you go up to my restaurant and sit down? Give you two whole dishes, let's drink two cups? ”
When it came to drinking, Ying Zheng shook his head again and again and said with a wry smile: "Don't drink, don't drink." I drank your liquor last time, and I delayed a big thing. ”
Lin Mo smiled: "The good wine prepared for you this time is not so strong, if you drink it, it's okay, just sleep in my restaurant." ”
Ying Zheng thought about it for a while, anyway, now he is depressed, it is better to have a drink with the shopkeeper Lin.
"Okay, then let's go have a drink or two, and then you tell me about the gossip of the king, I love to listen to this."
Lin Mo said: "Okay, then let's go." ”
After Ying Zheng followed Lin Mo back to the restaurant, Lin Mo casually fried two appetizers in the back kitchen.
This time, Lin Mo prepared rice wine, compared to the second pot head he drank last time, this time the rice wine was relatively milder.
After Ying Zheng took a sip, he smacked his lips and said, "Good wine!" Shopkeeper Lin, since I drank your wine, the other wines have been tasteless in my mouth. ”
Lin Mo smiled: "Brother Zhao, if you like my wine, then I'll give you two jars." In fact, I didn't prepare a few jars of good wine, mainly because I was afraid that the government would find out that I was making wine privately. ”
"Shopkeeper Lin, if you are really worried that the wine-making technology and refined salt technology will be discovered by the government, why don't you grant it to me at a high price? I have some connections in the government, but I can push this technology to the Qin State. ”
Lin Mo waved his hand and said, "The risk is too great!" Brother Zhao, I can't hurt you to go to prison for this matter. This private salt and private brewing are both big sins in the Qin State, don't drag you down when the time comes. ”
Ying Zheng's heart was moved, it turned out that Lin Mo was caring about himself.
It seemed like he hadn't felt this care for a long time, and it was a bit poignant to think about.
He has been on the throne for almost a decade, and there are very few people who really care about him.
And a person like Lin Mo, out of pure concern, seemed even more precious in his eyes.
Lin Mo saw that Ying Zheng was preoccupied, and took the initiative to ask: "Brother Zhao, when I met you tonight, I felt that you were in a low mood, and you didn't even bring a servant." Is there something bothering you? You might as well talk to your brother, and I will enlighten you. ”
If Lin Mo hadn't reminded him, Ying Zheng would have almost forgotten the Xianyang Palace where he left for some reason.
The main reason is that the virtuous talent introduced to him by Lin Mo is a person who hacks him, which makes him very unhappy.
He inherited the throne for ten years, and who can understand the bitterness of his reign?
But Wei Yanzi has an unruly personality, writes articles to smear him all day long, and still says that he is a tyrant before and after others, and says that he is useless, so can he not be angry in his heart?
Even if Wei Yizi is a rare talent, but he is not convinced of himself in his heart, where will he be loyal to himself?
Since this person will not be used for himself, he will simply be cut off.
Don't let such a talent go!
Ying Zheng took a deep breath and sighed: "Shopkeeper Lin, when I talk about this, I have a fire in my heart. There is one person I admire, but he often slanders me in front of people, and he goes around saying that I am not a good owner. I was so annoyed by his outspoken personality that I wanted to kick him out of the chamber of commerce and never hire him. ”
"But this person's talent has been recognized by Xiao Li, but when I learned that he privately commented on my content, I made a decision in a fit of anger and planned to permanently remove him from the Chamber of Commerce."
"Shopkeeper Lin, in your opinion, is what I did right or wrong?"
Lin Mo took a sip of wine and said, "Brother Zhao, if you stand from your personal point of view, I think you are doing the right thing. This kind of person who likes to smear his boss should indeed let him get out of it as soon as possible, otherwise it is useless to keep it. ”
Ying Zheng was overjoyed in his heart, it seemed that the decision to kill Wei Yuzi was understandable in the eyes of Shopkeeper Lin, so he was relieved.
"But then again, if you look at it from the perspective of the Chamber of Commerce, you did do it a bit too much."
Ying Zheng was stunned for a moment.
Could it be that Shopkeeper Lin has something to say?
Lin Mo asked: "Brother Zhao, then let me ask you, in addition to smearing you, has this person done anything hurtful and unreasonable?" In addition to criticizing you for not doing well, what are you doing that is not good for the Chamber of Commerce? ”
Ying Zheng shook his head and said, "This person is upright and has a good character. ”
Lin Mo didn't do what he said, but he violated the Qin law by being disrespectful to the king.
According to the laws of Great Qin, that is to be killed!
"Since this person is not really at fault, why should he smear you and criticize you? Brother Zhao, have you ever thought about this problem? ”
Ying Zheng pondered.
Wei Yizi smeared himself, wasn't it because he exiled Lu Buwei?
"I guess you must have done something that made him unhappy that he would be like this, right? Such a person has an upright personality, and what he says is naturally loyal to his ears, which must be above the court, this person is a great loyal minister who can leave his name in history! ”
"Brother Zhao, now that you want to drive away such an upright and loyal minister, what kind of reputation will you leave in the hearts of everyone? Everyone will say that you, as the owner, don't have the bearing to tolerate people, and you can't even tolerate such a well-behaved person, so can you tolerate others? ”
"And if you really drive this man away, doesn't that prove that everything he says is right, so you can't wait to get rid of him? In this way, everyone will be in danger, and no one will be willing to serve you faithfully in the future, and then your Chamber of Commerce will probably collapse like an edifice! ”
After listening to Lin Mo's words, Ying Zheng was stunned.
Did he really do something wrong?
He was so angry that he lost his mind and made his decision without thinking about it so much.
Now that I think about it, it was really a wrong decision made impulsively!
Ying Zheng immediately put on a posture of asking for advice, and arched his hand: "Shopkeeper Lin, then in your opinion, how to deal with this person?" ”
