Chapter 318: Erudite and Talented

Lu Su acted boldly and freely, Long Xiang was extremely surprised to hear his refusal, and was about to ask the specific reason, but the other party preemptively opened his mouth to explain.

"Sun Quan wants to stay in Jiangdong for a long time, I used to use my mother's frail health as an excuse, but at this moment, Hua Tuo is in Wu County, and if he refuses again, he may be suspicious, so it is best to change this matter to someone else."

"Blame me, I didn't think it through, and I almost sent the sheep into the tiger's mouth."

Long Xiang first criticized himself for a while, and then frowned: "This time to give gifts to dignitaries, you have to go to an acquaintance of Sun Quan to do it, it is best to have a certain ability to argue, if Zijing is inconvenient to go, think about it, there is only one You Zhengping left"

"No way." Lu Su interrupted in a firm tone, and said with a straight face: "You Zhengping is too articulate, and if you don't pay attention to it, you will offend people, and sending him there will be a mistake." ”

Long Xiang frowned when he heard this, pinched his chin and said to himself: "Other than that. Only I went there in person."

"Let me think about it."

Lu Su interrupted again, and after a while, he asked tentatively: "I have an entourage named Yao Xuan, who once followed me to Wu County once, this person has a calm personality and can speak well, can you send him as an envoy?" ”

"Yes, of course."

Long Xiang's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he said that Hefei lacks this kind of talent.

Lu Su asked in a low voice: "Then I'll find him tomorrow and let Yunqi think about it again?" ”

"Very good." Long Xiang nodded straightly: "I just happened to be in person, and if he does things neatly, Zijing must be ready to cut love."

Lu Su saw that Long Xiang was very interested, and hurriedly reminded: "Yao Xuan was born in the common people, and he is loyal, but he has no outstanding skills, and he may be embarrassed by the heavy responsibility."

Long Xiang stroked his palms and smiled: "Just open your mouth for this matter, and in the future, Yao Xuan may be a good candidate for the shopkeeper in Wu County." ”

"Let him be a meticulous worker?" Lu Su stroked his beard, "It's okay." ”

On the first day of the first lunar month, Long Xiang visited various yamen, construction sites, workshops, military camps, residential areas and other places as usual.

Coming from the world of the future, Long Xiang understands the necessity of political showmanship, and no one in this era knows how to have fun with the people better than him.

The people of Hefei and the two cities have reached 1670,000, and the gradually abundant material conditions have promoted trade, and bartering gradually cannot meet the needs of the people.

Business war is also a kind of war, Guan Zhong is the ancestor of business war, Long Xiang has a lot of ideas in his head, he plans to open up the road of commerce, use the high-end goods produced by Hefei, and harvest the wealth of the rich of hostile forces in a targeted manner, and help Liu Bei from the economic level.

Long Xiang went to the main bookkeeper's mansion in the afternoon to pay New Year's greetings, and Lu Su brought his entourage Yao Xuan to the 'interview', and was taken care of after only a few exchanges, and immediately decided to let him set off in two days, and transferred Xu Wei, the official under his command, as his companion.

On the morning of the third day of junior high school, Yao Xuan went to the school captain's mansion to receive a gift box, and was taught by Long Xiang in person, and then went out of the city to the dock.

In winter, the rivers and waves are less, and Yao Xuan's boat is very smooth, and he arrived in Wu County on the afternoon of the fifth day of the lunar month.

Because he accompanied Lu Su once, Yao Xuan was familiar with the road after he arrived, and the ten fragrant pigs were handed over at the dock, and the underwear gift box said that he would give it to Sun Quan by hand.

Originally, it was not suitable to take concubines in a big way, but Sun Quan accepted the Yuan family for political marriage, and he did not do any publicity in the city on the surface, but the mansion was ceremoniously decorated, and took the opportunity to feast Jiangdong military and political officials in the mansion, wanting to use this to encircle and integrate all forces.

The date of the concubine was set for the eighth day of the first month, and Sun Quan heard that Long Xiang sent a fragrant pig to congratulate, and immediately felt that the banquet had reached a higher level.

As the saying goes, scarcity is expensive, Hefei's fragrant pigs are not large-scale breeding, so the slaughtered pigs rarely flow out, and Jiangdong people can't taste delicious when they spend money.

From the first time Long Xiang gave a gift last year to the present, Hefei has exported less than five fragrant pigs to Jiangdong, and even Sun Quan himself has not been addicted to it, let alone the group of civil and military officials in Wu County.

This time, ten heads were sent in one go, which made Sun Quan feel very good, and he heard that there were special gifts, so he urgently summoned Yao Xuan into the house to offer gifts.

At this time, Zhang Zhao, Lu Fan and others were all guests in Sun Quan's mansion, and Yao Xuan and Xu Wei each entered the hall with a beautiful wooden box.

Sun Quan saw that the two of them were cautious, and he, like Zhang Zhao and other guests, showed curious expressions.

"What is this?"

Seeing Sun Quan pointing to the wooden box on their chests and asking, Yao Xuan immediately replied: "Back to Wu Hou, this was created by General Long, and it is a rare thing that does not exist in the world, and the small ones have not had a chance to see it." ”

"Oh?"

Everyone has a curious mentality, Sun Quan instantly became interested, and urged Yao Xuandao: "In this case, don't open the wooden box quickly, let us reward Long Yunqi's masterpiece together." ”

Yao Xuan bowed down first, and then showed the bracket switch on the top cover of the wooden box to Sun Quan to check, and explained: "Wu Hou, look, this box has been sealed with wax, and the small ones dare not open it without authorization. ”

Sun Quan looked left and right, exchanged glances with Zhang Zhao, Zhang Hong, etc., and said in his heart What does Long Xiang mean?

"Benhou allows you to open it."

Sun Quan waved his hand to show his generosity, but in fact, he suspected that the wooden box contained hidden weapons and poisons, so it was impossible for him to open it with his own hands.

Yao Xuan listened and bowed again, and reminded Sun Quan and said: "My general has told me a thousand times, this is a thing for pleasure, please Wu Hou don't open it in front of people, it is most appropriate to use it at night in the cave room." ”

As soon as these words came out, the people in the palace suddenly understood, and they dared to see the things in the love box, and they all slandered Long Xiang for not learning and not knowing.

"Ahh Long Yunqi is really knowledgeable and talented" Sun Quan smiled awkwardly at the ministers in the palace, since he did not refuse or accept, after all, the more mysterious Yao Xuan said, the more Sun Quan wanted to uncover the mystery.

"This wooden box is so exquisite, it won't contain medicinal herbs, right?"

Seeing that Sun Quan didn't answer directly, the experienced Zhang Zhao asked with words, and he thought of medicine for the first time, he was actually reminding Sun Quan that things of unknown origin should not be eaten.

"Definitely."

Yao Xuan waved his hand and added: "It's a novel object, Wu Hou will know when he opens the box at night, and General Long guarantees that you will be satisfied." ”

"Ahem, take it first and send it to the back hall"

Sun Quan was reluctant to refuse, so he motioned for the guards to take it for him, and then asked: "In the past, Zijing was an envoy, why did you change people today?" Who are you? ”

Yao Xuan hurriedly handed over the wooden box and replied: "Mr.'s mother has recently contracted a cold, he wants to stay by his side to take care of his filial piety, the little Yao Xuan, who was originally Mr. Zijing's entourage, had to go on behalf of Mr. Yao, Mr. Before leaving, he told him thousands of times, hoping that Wu Hou would not blame." ”

"I see."

Sun Quan felt empathy when he heard it, and then said with his head bowed: "Zi respects filial piety, which is admirable, after you go back, convey greetings for me." ”

"Yui." Yao Xuan bowed his hand.

Sun Quan said again: "Yao Envoy has worked hard all the way, and he will go to the post house to rest, and I will have a return gift later." ”

"Thank you Wu Hou, the little one will leave first."

Yao Xuan and Xu Wei saluted at the same time, and then turned around and walked out of the hall.

After the two left, Sun Quan saw that the hall was as quiet as night, so he asked with a smile, "What are you thinking?" Why don't you say anything? ”
