Wu Xiang can only secretly reassure himself, look at the long-term, and get benefits in the future.

I can only think so, otherwise I will die of depression.

Wei Bao and Zu Dashou reached a private agreement, but it didn't mean anything.

Because Zu Dashou can't be the master of Jin merchants and a group of grain merchants in Guannai!

It was unacceptable for them to sell such a huge amount of more than 8 million stone grain to Wei Bao at one and a half times the market price.

"Someone called Qiao Dongsheng over." Zu Dashou said to Wu Xiang.

"Talk about it now? Have you waited for dinner? I'm eating it. Wu Xiang asked.

"There's nothing to worry about eating! I must drink wine when I eat, and it is not appropriate to talk about business after two sips of wine. Zu Dashou interrupted.

Wei Bao is quite convinced of Zu Dashou's point, and he should have such an attitude at work.

"Okay, I'll go and call Qiao Dongsheng in person." Wu Xiang immediately said.

"Wait." Zu Dashou interrupted Wu Xiang, and then said to Wei Bao: "If you buy this batch of grain at the market price, you have to give me 20 million taels of silver!" If it is purchased at one and a half times the market price, you have to give me 10 million taels of silver, which cannot be changed. ”

Wei Bao couldn't help but sweat at the waterfall, why are you still struggling with the price? Seeing that Zu Dashou asked Wu Xiang to recruit Qiao Dongsheng, Wei Bao thought that Zu Dashou was no longer entangled in the issue of intermediary fees.

"General Zu, your money is really high, you should know the price of grain trading, and I have made it very clear, this transaction is not for making money, but for the food and clothing of millions of Liao people." Wei Bao said helplessly.

"That's your business!" Zu Dashou said coldly: "You said it bluntly, you have fed so many people, and you haven't let the people recognize you!" Aren't you the one who gets the benefits? What does it have to do with me? ”

"No way, if that's the case, I'd rather not buy this batch of grain!" Wei Bao saw that the other party was back on the old path, and this time he also answered categorically.

Zu Dashou's face suddenly became ugly.

Wu Xiang and Wu Xuexia also wondered very much, how could they talk about it, and they were back on the old road? They also all felt that Zu Dashou was a little out of his word.

When the scene was very embarrassing, Zu Dashou said lightly: "If you buy this batch of grain at the market price, you have to give me 15 million taels of silver!" If it is purchased at one and a half times the market price, you have to give me 7.5 million taels of silver, and I can take a step back! This is my bottom line, and I can't let it go any further. ”

Wei Bao, Wu Xiang and Wu Xuexia almost didn't faint, with Zu Dashou's grinding and chirping energy, they are even more profiteers than profiteers.

However, it is often a matter of a million taels of silver, and it is understandable to insist on bargaining.

"If you buy it at the market price, I will give you 10 million taels of silver tooth money, and if you buy it at one and a half times the market price, I will give you 5 million tooth money, this is also my bottom line, I can't change it!" Wei Bao did not let go.

Zu Dashou glared at Wei Bao coldly, looking like he was going to eat Wei Bao.

Wei Bao's gaze did not flinch, and he also stared at Zu Dashou.

Zu Dashou suddenly smiled: "Okay, just rely on you!" Sure enough, it's a hero out of a teenager! However, you are now calculating such a small amount with me, and when you come to me in the future, don't blame me for refusing to give in! ”

"I will never blame General Zu!" Wei Bao was slightly relieved to see that the other party was just testing himself. Although he knew that there were still many places to deal with Zu Dashou, and there might really be difficulties in the hands of the other party in the future, he just didn't let go.

"Go and call Qiao Dongsheng." Zu Dashou said to Wu Xiang again.

Wu Xiang also breathed a sigh of relief, I was really afraid that the two of them would talk about it again.

Wu Xuexia was even more happy, and said angrily to Zu Dashou: "Uncle, you scared me to death." ”

Zu Dashou smiled slightly: "What are you afraid of?" Afraid that I will quarrel with him? I won't quarrel for you, I said earlier, it's a big deal I don't care about this, this time I'm not here to trouble Wei Bao. ”

"Thank you, General Zu." Wei Bao smiled: "Not only thank me, but I also want to thank General Zu for the Liao people under the rule of more than five million Heaven and Earth Society!" ”

"You may not be able to figure out what I asked you for 200,000 taels of silver and 1 million stone of grain a year, I can also tell you that this is for your good, otherwise although Liaodong has gone to southern Liaoning, Liaoxi and Liaodong combined, there are at least one million Liao people, these people are tenant farmers of big families, you get millions of Liao people to your territory, these silver and grain, can be regarded as a kind of compensation for everyone!" Zu Dashou said.

"Yes, I didn't figure it out. I will pay 200,000 taels of silver and 1 million stone of grain a year as scheduled. Wei Bao promised.

What he said was very heroic, but Wei Bao was dripping blood in his heart, which means that he has to feed the generals of Liaodong and Liaoxi, and he also has to feed Mao Wenlong's Dongjiang Army, which means that he is feeding everyone outside the gate.

And Zu Dashou and Liaoxi Liaodong Jiangmen, Mao Wenlong and Dongjiang Army, they can get a large amount of supplies from the Ming Dynasty every year, and there will be no shortage of military salaries, grain and grass.

But for the sake of development, Wei Bao endured it, at least until he didn't have to worry about Liaoxi, Liaodong Jiangmen and Mao Wenlong, he could stop this exploitative behavior.

Wu Xiang soon found the suspicious Qiao Dongsheng.

As soon as Qiao Dongsheng saw Zu Dashou, he asked directly: "General Zu, I haven't seen you for a long time, do you want to help Wei Bao be a lobbyist?" ”

"Yes, I want to be a lobbyist for Wei Bao, I know that your grain merchants in the customs have grain in their hands and have an absolute advantage, but I now ask you to sell this batch of grain to Wei Bao at the market price! Otherwise, in the future, you will not want to do business outside the border! No matter how many senior members you have in the court, even if you have the support of Gonggong Wei, without me, you will not want to do business outside the border. Zu Dashou said.

The muscles on Qiao Dongsheng's face trembled, "General Zu, you didn't take our advantage less, you can't cross the river and tear down the bridge like this, right?" Moreover, doing business is about fair trading, how can you buy and sell? ”

If Qiao Dongsheng didn't want to quarrel with Zu Dashou, he would almost say that you are not a bandit?

"You have come all the way to Liaoxi, don't you plan to do this business?" Zu Dashou said: "I don't have a strong man's difficulty, I just take a line from it!" ”

"It's a big deal for us to pay for the passage and transport it back." Qiao Dongsheng said proudly: "I am a merchant of this silver, and there is not much silver." Also, General Zu, we have been friends for many years, you just said that if we don't sell this batch of grain to Wei Bao, we won't be allowed to trade outside the customs, isn't this a threat? With our friendship for so many years, this is not appropriate, right? ”

Zu Dashou glanced at Wei Bao, and some of the words were originally inappropriate to say in front of Wei Bao, but Zu Dashou felt that it didn't matter now, and then said to Qiao Dongsheng: "You sell grain, iron tools, and other contraband items controlled by the imperial court to Jiannu and the Mongols, earn huge profits, fill your private pockets, and harm the Ming and the people of the Ming Dynasty!" This trip will make less money, and it will also give the people of Liao a little benefit, what do you lose? The people of Liao will remember your goodness. ”

Wei Bao smiled slightly, secretly thinking that Zu Dashou didn't like to talk much, but his eloquence was really good, and he could get to the point.

"Three times the market price, this is nothing to Wei Gongzi, if you want to contribute to the people of Liao, you can let Wei Gongzi do it, I am not from Liao." Qiao Dongsheng's refusal against Zu Dashou was also very clear and direct.

"Master Qiao, it seems that you don't plan to sell my face?" Zu Dashou returned to his usual cold demeanor, his face was already very fierce, and when he stared, even timid people could shudder.

"General Zu, it's not that you don't sell your face, it's all silver, who wouldn't sell your face?" Qiao Dongsheng didn't give an inch of land: "If there is such a good thing, how much grain does your ancestor have, and how much grain do I collect from you, how about it?" ”

"What price?" Wei Bao said.

"......" Qiao Dongsheng didn't expect Wei Bao to come to such a sentence, and he was a little speechless.

Zu Dashou immediately became energetic, and he was originally speechless by Qiao Dongsheng, so he said, "Yes, what price do you use to collect it?" It's a big deal for us to go to the customs and buy food and sell it to you. Even if it's the market price, you won't lose money. ”

"If the market price can buy such a large amount of grain, can Wei Gongzi still find us?" Qiao Dongsheng sighed, and his tone softened: "Master Wei, you don't need to say it anymore, I will give General Zu face, twice the market price!" That's the lowest price! No matter how low it is, it will never be possible! ”

Qiao Dongsheng directly said the words to death.

Twice the market price, this is also the price that Wu Xiang said to Wei Bao at the beginning, in Wu Xiang's estimation, twice the market price is already very good, and it is a price acceptable to both parties.

"Master Qiao, you will make a little less money this time, sell me a face, and if there is any business between you in the future, I will never talk much." Zu Dashou said: "Just the market price!" You Jin merchants are rich and rich, and those grain merchants in the customs are all looking forward to your Jin merchants, and it's not your son Qiao's words. ”

"Impossible! General Zu, I have already given you enough face, if I had known that it would be sold at twice the market price at the beginning, we would never have made such a big effort to transport the grain to Liaoxi! Where is the food in the market now? In this year, you have all seen it, the grain harvest fails every year, and it is not difficult to save for two years, and the price of these grains will increase tenfold! Qiao Dongsheng said.

Zu Dashou was speechless.

Wei Bao leaned over to Zu Dashou and said, "One and a half times the price." ”

Zu Dashou wants to earn Wei Bao 10 million taels of silver, and the market price of one and a half times is 5 million taels of silver, which is half less at once!

"Then take a step back, everyone! Just one and a half times the market price, Mr. Qiao, how about it? Seeing that Zu Dashou didn't seem to give in, he couldn't negotiate at all, so he could only bite the bullet.

Qiao Dongsheng smiled bitterly: "Master Wei, I put aside the grievances with you, purely from the perspective of doing business, you said yourself, is it reasonable to buy such a large amount of grain at twice the market price?" Wherever you put this grain, you can make three or four times the profit, so why should I give you the silver? Could it be that all of you Liaoxi people are buying and selling like this? Soft grinding and hard bubbles, all like a girl? ”

This sentence hurts.

"Master Qiao, what did you say?" Zu Dashou said angrily.

"General Zu, don't be angry, the words are not good, but the reason is not bad, Wei Gongzi and Master Wu are both experts in business, whether I am right or not, they should know!" Qiao Dongsheng said.

"Alright, no more! Master Qiao, doesn't my ancestor have any face with you? Just one and a half times the market price! Zu Dashou clapped his hand and said: "If you can't, in the future, we will not have anything to do with you in Liaoxi and Liaodong!" Everyone broke up! ”

Wei Bao couldn't help but secretly applaud, in fact, there is really no need to rely on the inside of the Guan, if Zu Dashou completely cut off the Jin merchants' access to Mongolia and Jiannu trade, what goods are you looking for, Liaoxi and Liaodong can go to Jiangnan to purchase on their own, and there must be a lot of people who do not hesitate to offend Jin merchants and secretly do business with Liaoxi, Liaodong and Liaonan.

In fact, Zu Dashou was willing to come this time because he was worried that the southern Liaoning controlled by Wei Bao would break away from the system of Liaoxi and Liaodong in the future, and trade with Jiannu in private, in that case, he would have no silver on his side, so Zu Dashou would take the initiative to have a good relationship with Wei Bao now, on the one hand, so that Wei Bao could recognize him as the leader, on the other hand, Zu Dashou also took a fancy to this grain transaction, and he could salvage a sum of silver and grain from it.

This is equivalent to a roundtable meeting between the three parties.

The trick is that all the smart people present can figure it out.

Qiao Dongsheng, Wei Bao, Zu Dashou, Wu Xiang and Wu Xuexia were silent.

"Let's make one percent twice!" Qiao Dongsheng groaned: "General Zu has said everything to this point, and I can only cut meat and make friends!" ’

Twice as much as one percent, Wei Bao knows, it's one point nine times.

This bargain has already run to the decimal point.

"I said Master Qiao, just one trip to buy and sell, can't you be more cheerful? You've run out? Just one and a half times! It's settled now, let's have a good drink, I'll punish myself for a few more glasses of wine to thank you Master Qiao! Zu Dashou insisted.

"General Zu, do you know how much grain we have? More than 8.8 million stone grain! Otherwise, I will leave 1,000,000 stone of grain for you, and according to what you said, one and a half times the market price! The rest of the grain, we will transport it back to Kannai! Qiao Dongsheng said.

"Give it all to us! Wei Gongzi, he is not bad for silver! What else is there to do when you pull back to Kannai? Zu Dashou hurriedly said: "Just one and a half times the price!" How much silver do you Jin merchants earn from my Liaodong every year? If you want to cooperate for a long time in the future, don't spoil the friendship. ”

"General Zu, I have already made concessions to the end, it is difficult for you to be a strong person, if you want to say that the friendship is broken, it is also your General Zu." Qiao Dongsheng looked very, very embarrassed.

Zu Dashou is not a trader after all, seeing Qiao Dongsheng's embarrassed appearance, he was also a little unbearable, looked at Wei Bao, and wanted to say that it would be twice as much, he didn't want his share of tooth money!

The most impatient thing in Zu Dashou's life is the matter of buying and selling, so all these business dealings, he handed them over to the Wu family, and only sent a few account offices to the Wu family to supervise, and he basically didn't ask.

"Master Qiao, I want all the food! It's not appropriate to pull it back again. One and a half times the price. Wei Bao insisted.

Qiao Dongsheng shook his head with a wry smile: "I said Wei Gongzi, you are also a big business, how can you be like a village woman?" This is not grocery shopping, where is your bargain? Twice as less than one percent, do you know that achievement costs tens of millions of taels of silver? If I let forty percent more, wouldn't I have to remove forty or fifty million taels of silver again? Are you fools when we are merchants, or are you fools at the big grain merchants who came with me? ”

Zu Dashou was taken aback, and then he realized that an achievement is more than 10 million taels of silver? secretly scolded Wei Bao for being stingy, and just now he actually bargained with himself for 5 million taels of silver for a long time.

However, now Zu Dashou can't talk to Wei Bao about it in front of Qiao Dongsheng.

Zu Dashou simply stopped talking, and it depended on how Wei Bao negotiated with Qiao Dongsheng.

"You eldest prince Qiao and Jin Shang, how can you be fools? Those big grain merchants who came from the Guan, one of them is counted as one, and they are all extremely shrewd people, if they are not shrewd, they will not be able to do such a big business. I'll just say one thing, and Master Qiao should feel that it makes sense, and he will agree to the price of one and a half times what I said! I bought these grains not to trade with the Jiannu and the Mongols, but for my own consumption in Weijiazhuang and Liaonan! Moreover, in the future, you will do business with the Mongols and Jiannu, that is your business, and I, Liaonan, will never do business with Jiannu! What do you think? Wei Bao said.

Qiao Dongsheng's eyes rolled and he didn't speak.

"Master Qiao, if I have the heart to grab business with you, even if General Zu doesn't embarrass you, with me in Liaonan, you and Jiannu will really not make any money in your deal!" Wei Bao threatened further.

Wei Bao is right, if he wants to do business with Jiannu in private, he has geographical advantages, and it is too convenient for Liaonan to do business with Jiannu. There is really nothing to do with the Jin merchants and the rest of the merchants in the Guannai.

"How can I believe your words, Master Wei?" Qiao Dongsheng was a little tempted, after all, Zu Dashou and Wei Bao's offensive was too strong, and he threatened not to let him do business outside the customs, and he threatened to rob their business.

"I'll do what I say! The people present are all people on this ground, if my Heaven and Earth Society does business with Jiannu, I will definitely not be able to hide it from everyone present, "If I break my promise today, how will he face Lord Wu, General Zu and you Qiao Dagongzi in the future?" Wei Bao said.

"Master Wei, you need to swear in public! Never do business with Jiannu in your lifetime! Qiao Dongsheng said: "In this case, I will make my own decisions about this batch of grain, and I will sell it to you at a price of one and a half times." ”

"It's useless to swear, it's not a man who cheats a woman! I can't guarantee that I won't have a deal with Jiannu at all, but I won't betray the interests of Daming, I can only guarantee that! Wei Bao said: "If I am a person who is not honest, what is the use of my oath?" ”

"Yes, if Wei Gongzi is not a righteous person, there will not be so many people following him! If he breaks his promise today, he won't be able to raise his head and be a man in front of your eldest son Qiao in the future! What else is there to doubt? Wu Xuexia also helped Wei Bao speak.

Wu Xiang also said: "Master Qiao, I have a friendship with you and your father, if you can trust me, I can be a witness!" Xiaobao, he won't break his word. ”

"I can also be a witness." Zu Dashou also said.

Qiao Dongsheng looked sad and sighed heavily, "Okay, if you lose tens of millions of taels of silver, I will be the master!" At a price of one and a half times the market price, I will sell this batch of grain to you Wei Gongzi! From now on, Jin Shang and Heaven and Earth will be friends! But heaven and earth will respect the Jin merchants everywhere, after all, in the north, in the entire Ming Dynasty, my Jin merchants have a pivotal position! ”

"This one does! I admit that Jin Shang is the business leader of the Ming Dynasty! Wei Bao nodded.

Qiao Dongsheng shook his head bitterly and said, "Now I'm sad!" I don't know what to say to the big grain merchants in the Guannai! Originally, they had at least twice the market price, but now I have made a market price of one and a half times, and they will definitely suspect that I have some shady things with General Zu and Wei Gongzi in private, and they will join forces to harm them! ”

Wei Bao was in a very good mood at the moment, and said with a smile: "Master Qiao doesn't have to be anxious, I'll tell them, I can swear to them!" Never harm them or deceive them, or I will be doomed! ”

"Wei Gongzi and General Zu will come with me and tell everyone! I called them all. Qiao Dongsheng smiled bitterly: "It's child's play to say that oaths are all words, what is the use of oaths in the shopping mall?" It still depends on virtue, if virtue is not right, the business will not be big! ”

Wei Bao applauded: "What Master Qiao said is good, Jin Shang can achieve such a success, and he really has his own set, which I admire." ”

Qiao Dongsheng then went to call a group of big grain merchants in the Guan, Wei Bao and Zu Dashou talked to each other, these big grain merchants in the Guan were naturally suspicious at first, and the price was pressed down so much, and they were also very reluctant, and it was indispensable that Wei Bao did his best to do the work.

Fortunately, Qiao Dongsheng, the biggest leader, has relented, and these big grain merchants in the customs saw that the matter had been settled, and they also believed that Qiao Dongsheng was not carrying them behind their backs, so they reluctantly agreed one by one, and sold all the grain brought into the customs at a price of one and a half times the market price to the Heaven and Earth Society.

Everyone signed the contract on the spot, and Wei Bao immediately asked people to carry food and pay according to the contract.

When a group of big grain merchants saw Wei Bao's large payment, they said that they could pay if they paid it, and they were secretly shocked by the strength of the Heaven and Earth Society.

After doing these things, Wei Bao asked Wu Xiang to help him greet Qiao Dongsheng and the big grain merchants in the Guannei, and he asked people to pay Zu Dashou 5 million taels of silver as agreed, and let Zu Dashou's people bring them back to Jinzhou City.

"Wei Gongzi, you have made a lot of money this time!" Zu Dashou reluctantly accepted the 5 million taels of silver paid by Wei Bao, as well as the dividend of 200,000 taels of silver a year and 1 million stone of grain, but he was still very unwilling.

Wei Bao saw Zu Dashou's unwillingness, for fear that he would ask for it again, so he hurriedly said: "General Zu, I said that my grain is not used for trading, but for millions of Liao people. You get hundreds of thousands of taels of silver every year, and 1 million stone of grain, you don't have to do anything, you should be content. ”

"Wei Gongzi, this is not my family, have you forgotten that there are hundreds of big families in Liaoxi and Liaodong? I don't score for them? Divide it up casually, I don't have half of it left. Zu Dashou said helplessly: "You don't know that firewood and rice are expensive, I can't catch up with you Weijiazhuang and Liaonan, you alone have the final say." ”

"Thank you General Zu, let's go, let's drink, I gave up my life to accompany the gentleman today." Wei Bao felt like he was diverting the conversation.

Zu Dashou smiled: "Don't worry, I will do what I say, and I am not a villain who goes back on my word!" I won't ask you for silver and food anymore. Moreover, your Wei Gongzi's silver and food are so good to want? Even if I spew it away, it will be for nothing. ”

Zu Dashou's words provoked Wu Xuexia beside Wei Bao to laugh like a silver bell: "Uncle, you really know him." Okay, okay, it's a family in the future, don't worry too much about making money, you went to Shanhaiguan this time, and you gained a lot, right? ”

Zu Dashou smiled: "No matter how much you gain, it's not as good as your future husband?" Xuexia, when did you marry Wei Gongzi? ”

"Four years later, in the past five years, the fortune teller said that I should not talk about marriage, otherwise I will lose my wife." Wei Bao replied in place of Wu Xuexia.

Zu Dashou said angrily: "The words of fortune-telling are not credible. Those of us who are in the army don't believe in this, otherwise before every battle, we have to find a fortune teller to calculate a hexagram, and if the hexagram is not good, will we not go to war?"

Wei Bao smiled: "That's what I said, however, Xue Xia and I are still young, and there is such a thing, after all, I don't want Xue Xia to have anything bad after marrying me." ”

Zu Dashou nodded and said, "What you said also has some truth. However, Wei Gongzi, I can remind you that you must not fail my Xuexia, I treat Xuexia as my own daughter! Do you hear that? ’

"I hear you." Wei Bao smiled slightly, feeling that Zu Dashou was not very annoying.

But Wei Bao knows very well that this time he cooperated with Zu Dashou, with the Jin merchants and a group of big grain merchants in the Guannai, it was only a temporary interest relationship, if there was a dispute of interests in the future, when he said that he would turn his face, he would turn his face in a blink of an eye! Wei Bao knew too well what was going on in the mall.

Otherwise, how can you say that the mall is a battlefield?

The next wine is not enough to drink!

Qiao Dongsheng and a group of big grain merchants in the Guannai can't be said to have suffered losses, at most they haven't made profits that they are satisfied with, but after all, a matter that has dragged on for several months has been resolved, and Wei Bao also promised that he would not do business with Jiannu privately in the future, and it would not affect their business outside the Guan, so they can accept this result.

A meager profit is also a profit, and doing business, as long as you don't lose money, is acceptable.

Wu Xiang made a benefit because of Wei Bao, his daughter was happy, and he also washed away a lot of depression, originally he was the only person who did not see benefits in this transaction.

But for the sake of his daughter, Wu Xiang still tried his best to help Wei Bao Zhang Luo, greet guests from all sides, and was very happy to accompany the wine.

Zu Dashou is even more rare to have a very close relationship with Wei Bao and Qiao Dongsheng to push the cup and change the lamp.

Under normal circumstances, Zu Dashou did not say much to businessmen and literati.

Although Wei Bao is considered a person with half-body martial arts, in the eyes of people like Zu Dashou and those who are authentic and in the army, Wei Bao, who has made a name for himself, is still a literati.

"Xiaobao, the Jin merchants and these big grain merchants in the customs agreed to sell such a large amount of grain to you at one and a half times the market price?" Sun Chengzong found a gap and spoke to Wei Bao: "Congratulations." ”

"Blessings from the Teacher." Wei Bao said with a smile: "I'm not here to do business, it's to solve the problem of food and clothing for millions of Liao people, with such a large amount of grain, this year, the people of Weijiazhuang and southern Liaoning don't have to worry about food shortage." If Liaonan no longer suffers from the invasion of Jiannu, it should be able to complete self-sufficiency by next year! In the future, there is basically no need to worry about food shortages. ”

"Good! With such a large and stable territory in southern Liaoning, it will not be easy for Jiannu to invade Liaodong again! What neither the Liaodong Frontier Army nor Mao Wenlong can do, Xiaobao, you can do it, it's not easy! Sun Chengzong said happily: "You give up two or three million stones of grain and sell it to my Jiliao Governor's Mansion, right?" In this way, Jiliao soldiers and horses don't have to worry about the lack of military food in the past two or three years. ”

Wei Bao Khan, I didn't expect Sun Chengzong to also want to knock himself on a bamboo pole!

Yuan Chonghuan saw that Wei Bao did not reply to Sun Chengzong's words, and also said: "Xiaobao, what the teacher said is right, you let millions of stone grains come out to Jiliao soldiers and horses, right?" In this way, the next time, the imperial general's salary and grain and grass can be uniformly converted into military salaries and sent to our Jiliao border army. Otherwise, the imperial court will always be short of our grain and grass because it can't raise so much food. ”

"I know the difficulties of my teacher, but my difficulties are even greater, my teacher, this matter, let's talk about it in the second half of the year, okay?" Wei Bao played a haha.

Yuan Chonghuan saw that Wei Bao was 'playing tricks', and he was still waiting to squeeze Wei Bao with words.

was stopped by Sun Chengzong, and said with a smile: "Forget it, we are just tens of thousands of people's food and grass, and Xiaobao has millions of people under his hands." When we really can't open the pot, we can find Xiaobao to find a way. ”

"Exactly, exactly." Wei Bao hurriedly smiled: "It's still the teacher who understands us." Brother Yuan, you can have a few more drinks with your teacher! Don't keep thinking about me. ”

Yuan Chonghuan smiled: "Who wants to think about you? Then I wish Xiaobao that you will go to Beijing to catch up with the examination and win the first place! ”

"Thank you, brother." Wei Bao agreed with a smile, and then drank a glass of wine with Yuan Chonghuan. Regardless of whether Yuan Chonghuan is hypocritical or not, good words are always useful anyway.

"Xiaobao, I originally said that I would accompany you to Beijing in person, but I am afraid that I can't help you with the matter of rushing for the exam, I personally wrote a letter to Your Majesty, and I don't know if the celebrant has handed it over to Your Majesty. I also have a letter here, if you have your own way, you can forward this letter to Your Majesty, as long as you can pass the examination, give it to Your Majesty before the palace examination, and Your Majesty will take care of you. Sun Chengzong said, took out a letter from his bosom that had already been written and handed it to Wei Bao.

This is what Sun Chengzong prepared a while ago.

Originally, Sun Chengzong really planned to accompany Wei Bao to Beijing to catch the exam to see if his face could help Wei Bao, but he was a little bookish, Sun Chengzong was not a faction of the Donglin Party, and the eunuch party couldn't tolerate him, so he just had a little face in front of the emperor.

But Emperor Zhu Youxiao of the Apocalypse is a person who doesn't care about anything, and it is useless to have face in front of the emperor.

Wei Bao didn't take Sun Chengzong's words too seriously from the beginning when Sun Chengzong said that he would accompany him to Beijing to catch the exam, he knew that Sun Chengzong really wanted to help him.

。
