I want to ask what kind of official position the prime minister is.

In today's era, it is equivalent to the prime minister's secretary, helping to record some copywriting or something.

The four grades of official residence belong to an official position that is neither high nor low.

It would be a bit interesting to use such a person to talk to Chu Yujia.

What is Chu Yujia's identity?

Ye Guoding Xihou, General of Ye State.

The titles of this era are nothing more than the rank of princes and princes, and Chu Yujia has become a marquis.

General, the second rank of the official, among the generals, is second only to the generals and generals who have titles.

But such a person came to envoy Qianshu, but Qianshu only sent a four-grade petty official to deal with it, what does this mean?

After the former Shu Prime Minister Shi Pang Jianyuan sat down in Chu Yujia, he sat directly opposite Chu Yujia, and then said with a smile: "Chu Hou came from afar, and he has worked hard all the way. ”

"It doesn't matter. ”

Chu Yujia waved his hand casually, and said directly to the point: "Ye State and Qianshu, since twenty years ago, the well water does not interfere with the river water, and it is common for merchants to come and go, I don't know why my Ye State caravan was detained this time?"

"Oh......"

Pang Jianyuan seemed to have just remembered this, and his smiling face immediately turned into embarrassment, and said: "I thought that Chu Hou came to Qianshu this time to have more contacts with Qianshu, but I didn't expect it to be because of this." ”

"Huh?"

Chu Yujia looked at Pang Jianyuan with an inexplicable face, wondering if this person's brain was broken?

Chu Yujia frowned slightly, and said, "Moreover, where is my caravan now, can you bring it up and let me see it?"

Seeing Chu Yujia's attitude, Pang Jianyuan pursed his lips and said, "Since this is the case, then I won't go around in circles with Chu Hou." ”

When the words fell, Pang Jianyuan waved his hand and said, "Come on, bring me the leaders of the Yeguo caravan." ”

The two county guards intervened, and after a short time, several of Chu Yujia's old acquaintances were tied up and pushed in.

One of them is Qi Rushuang.

The originally beautiful and lovely girl had a haggard face at this time, and there were several scars on her face, and it was obvious that they were not just detained at the beginning.

Chu Yujia frowned and said, "Since I've already come here, can I loosen the ties on them?"

Hearing this, Pang Jianyuan seemed to have just reacted, and hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Yes, yes, let them loosen their bonds." ”

At this time, those government soldiers stepped forward and untied a few people, but that attitude was really unkind, even when they treated Qi Rushuang, they were careless, and even wanted to take advantage of the opportunity.

But Qi Rushuang is the master who can let people take advantage of it casually?

kicked it over on the spot, kicked the Nafu soldier directly to the ground, and then scolded coldly: "Presumptuous!"

Seeing this, several government soldiers were stunned for a moment, and then they came forward one after another, one of them pointed to Qi Rushuang's nose and said: "Little lady, this is Qianshu, not your Ye country, you dare to be so arrogant here?"

"That's it, don't look where you are, are you trying to move my brother?"

"His own hands and feet are not clean, and he blames me for doing it?"

Qi Rushuang is a typical fiery temper, and the dart masters behind her are also more protective of her, and they all gathered around Qi Rushuang when they saw that there was going to be a conflict.

"Little girl, if I don't teach you a lesson today, you won't know that the sky is high and the earth is thick!"

As soon as you and I said a word from the two parties, the scene became more and more chaotic, and Chu Yujia's expression became colder and colder.

Feeling the changes in Chu Yujia, Pang Jianyuan hurriedly spoke: "Okay, let's say a few words." ”

With him talking, these soldiers quieted down.

The attitude shown by Qianshu along the way is clearly revealing a sense of contempt everywhere, if Chu Yujia only represents himself, forget it, but this time he is clearly the identity of the envoy of Ye State, and Qianshu is still doing this, which is clearly doing things.

Chu Yujia didn't want to go around the bend with this person, so he simply said: "Okay, huge man, don't go around in circles with me, today I came to ask, why did you detain my caravan, if it is the problem of my caravan, then it is better for you to just say it and solve the problem, so that both parties will save trouble." ”

"Since Chu Hou asked so, then I have to say it. ”

"Originally, my country did not want to interfere in the issue of this caravan doing business in our country, let alone interfere. ”

Pang Jianyuan chuckled lightly and said: "Later, they recruited craftsmen in our country, and our country didn't say anything about it, after all, people have their own aspirations, although we belong to different royal lands, but after all, we are all subjects of the Mingwu Empire." ”

"But brain drain is a big and small matter, and Chu Hou should know better than me. ”

Pang Jianyuan turned his head to look at Chu Yujia and said, "Later, when they bought grain and grass in the territory of the Son of Heaven and returned to China and passed through our country, our country wanted to collect some tolls to make up for the loss of our country's brain drain, Chu Hou, do you think there is anything wrong with this?"

Without waiting for Chu Yujia to speak, Qi Rushuang sneered on the side: "The so-called toll in your country is twice the price of the goods we load, dare to ask this money, who can afford it?"

Twice the price?

Since Chu Yujia entered the Northwest Army, the caravan of the dart bureau that purchased grain and grass for them was the Yuedu Dart Bureau, and even Zhao Kuan knew about it, otherwise the grain and grass of the Yuedu Dart Bureau would not have thought of Chu Yujia at the first time if the grain and grass of the Yuedu Dart Bureau were seized this time.

can purchase grain and grass for the army, which is obviously a lot of money, and the other party wants to pay twice the price of grain and grass in one breath, which is really a bit ridiculously high.

Pang Jianyuan raised his eyes, looked at Qi Rushuang, and said, "You'd better say a few words, otherwise you may not be able to leave." ”

This is the former Shu, not the Ye Kingdom, not to mention that when he came, he had already obtained the approval of the King of Shu, so he naturally had a tough attitude, and his words were inevitably threatening.

However, does Chu Yujia eat this set?

Chu Yujia chuckled lightly and said, "As far as I know, the total value of the grain and grass purchased by the Yuedu Dart Bureau this time is more than 20,000 taels of silver, and the price is twice as much, which is 40,000 taels.

"Oh?"

Pang Jianyuan turned his head to look at Chu Yujia and said, "Chu Hou, do you also think that these 40,000 taels are unreasonable?"

"What do you think?"

Chu Yujia rubbed his chin and said: "Actually, listening to your words, I also understand many things, it is nothing more than because many craftsmen in your country ran to our Ye country to make a living, so you Qianshu feel that you have suffered a loss, and you have to find some money from our Ye country, but you have a very good saying, everyone has their own ambitions, you Qianshu can't afford to support them, why do they still stay in Qianshu?"

"We're just accepting some craftsmen who can't eat, are we going to be blackmailed by your Qianshu?"

Chu Yujia spread out his hands and said with an innocent face: "How can there be such a reason in the world?"

Hearing this, Pang Jianyuan narrowed his eyes, the corners of his mouth raised, and said, "What does Chu Hou mean, don't want to give these 40,000 taels?"

"It's not that I don't want to give, it's that I can't afford to give. ”

Chu Yujia pouted and said, "Our country is poor, every year this tax comes to buy grain, where did you get the extra 40,000 taels." ”
