Chapter 638: Goodbye Bastion

The next day, Li Zhi threw himself into the affairs of the city envoy.

Previously, Gongwei Gongji, who had been temporarily seconded, was carried out first, and with the addition of various forces, officials of all sizes were in place one after another.

Coupled with some grassroots doormen who were called locally, the current city envoy is also a complete government office with more than 100 people.

However, it is still far from the scale that Li Zhi had in mind, and then he will add many specific departments to be responsible for the opening of the major ports and cities.

After three days of unusually busy work, I finally sorted out some clues.

The key lies in Gongwei's many years of management experience in Fang City, and the same is true for specific port affairs, which is nothing more than maintaining market order, protecting legal operations, banning illegal activities, doing a good job in market services, dredging commodity circulation channels, and so on.

Li Zhi also knows a little about this, but how to mesh the cooperative relationship between various departments is purely a layman for him.

Don't underestimate those lowest-level officials, no matter how good the guidelines and policies are, someone must always implement them.

If you can't convince these people completely, there will be more troubles in the future.

Gong Wei is very good at managing these trivial personnel, and his understanding of the general direction is clear, so he soon won the support of the top and bottom.

And what Li Zhi brought to them was just the unattainable status, but fortunately, he didn't care about these false names, but was willing to help Gongwei take on more things for him.

So, three days later, Li Zhi, who was familiar with the face of the envoy in the city, was finally temporarily relieved, and he also had time to accompany a group of big-nosed royal figures to travel around.

The three apprentices in the secret realm and their personalities were also released, they are still children in the end, no matter how good the environment is, if it is too closed, it is easy to cause the children's psychological resistance.

Under the reminder of the ancestors, the four of them will return to the real world, and a few little guys are happy.

As for why there were four more villains out of thin air, no one in the guests deliberately explored, after all, little Ibn was born and raised in Guangzhou City, as long as he didn't reveal himself, he thought that Ibn had been staying here.

During Li Zhi's busy three days, the guests didn't do anything, but every day when they opened their eyes, they were led around the streets and alleys.

It's not that Afifa and the others are trying to save trouble, but even the wives themselves are tempted by all kinds of food, not to mention the people of the Western Regions who spend their days on coffee, flatbread, sliced barbecue, and honey snacks poured on sugar.

Just like in the evening, the ladies who are still discussing the food of the day say that there are dozens of ways to eat even a piece of ordinary dried tofu in Guangzhou City, which is the reason why they are tired of it every day.

It was the Mahdi who, as soon as they woke up in the morning, beckoned their entourage to the Muslim restaurant run by Krimai's father, Wafige.

It is because you can not only eat the authentic taste of your hometown, but also the neighbors have gathered the flavor snacks of Tiannan and Haibei.

Therefore, that small shop has actually become a daily must-visit place for those people in the Western Regions except for their residences, so that Mansour, who has always had a straight face, is half-jokingly authentic, and it is not bad to live in such a fulfilling state for the rest of his life.

The place where the small shop is located is one of the several streets in the city that specializes in snacks, and there are not a few people from the Western Regions like Wafige.

Over the next few days, more and more fellow villagers will come to talk to these big people, and when they come, they will bring authentic hometown food cooked by their own families.

When there were more customers, the small shop could not be opened, so more tables and chairs could only be placed on the street, and over time, even the business on the whole street was much better.

In between, ordinary people from the Western Regions can satisfy the smiling faces of the nobles who can't be seen in their own country, and the nobles enjoy being in a distant place

The respect of the compatriots is that they have their own place for each other, and they are happy.

The little ones followed the ladies all over the city, satisfying themselves to eat and drink, and they could also continue to get all kinds of strange gadgets, which were also fun.

As the New Year approaches, there is a festive atmosphere full of lights, and from time to time there are parade floats or dragon and lion dance performances, and the women are like fish in water.

It's just that those government guards who are always on the left and right must not only be vigilant at all times, but also carry countless large bags and small bags on their shoulders.

More than 30 women from the Western Regions, all of whom are masters who are not short of silver, go crazy, and they are not inferior to the indigenous mothers-in-law of the Tang Dynasty at all.

In this festive atmosphere of family joy, Li Zhi came in time and proposed to go to Baiyun Mountain on the outskirts of the city.

Baiyun Mountain is a treasure of feng shui where Buddhist temples gather, and there is a unique cultural connotation and a profound historical precipitation atmosphere.

Unexpectedly, there were few positive responders, even the ladies also looked at him, and Li Zhi, who had a bitter face, had to go to the small restaurant of Wafig and cry to the big guys.

Hearing Li Zhi's suffering, the Mahdi laughed, in fact, they were not happy to toss back and forth, no matter how excellent the scenery was, they would feel the same if they saw more, where is the current down-to-earth joy more attractive.

The more high-ranking the characters, the more they like to return to civilian life occasionally, because this kind of environment allows them to temporarily forget about their busy affairs on weekdays, and they do not have to be vigilant against intrigue with others.

What's more, hometown people can be seen almost everywhere on this street, which will feel comfortable for people in the Western Regions who have traveled across the ocean and left their homeland for a long time.

"Then if you want to really fit in, you have to take off your robe, change into Tok-style wide-leg pants, kick in wooden shoes, and put a hookah in your squeak!"

Li Zhi complained without venting.

Hisham laughed, "I wouldn't mind if I could stay here for half a year and five months, but the weather is a little unsuitable at this time!" ”

Adan smiled on the side: "Mr. Li, you can be content, you don't have to accompany us to socialize all day long, there is a place to send guests, don't you die of beauty in your heart?" ”

Li Zhi smiled bitterly: "Having said that, it's not good to say!" If the court knew that I was just accompanying the royal family and nobles every day, nesting in a small shop on the side of the street and having fun with the people, I don't know how to blame me! ”

Mahdi shook his head and said with a smile:

"It is a happiness and an honor to be able to rejoice with the people in a foreign land, or at least to show that they have their approval, which is impossible in one's own country, because there is a difference between the poor and the lowly between the nobles and the commoners, which is not allowed by the order of real life!"

His statement was frequently nodded by several people around him.

Li Zhi was about to refute, but at a glance he saw Mi Rui and Bei Zheng who came from afar, and the two of them were actually Bastion, whom he had met in Luoyang City.

He suddenly remembered that he had instructed others to meet in Guangzhou City in three months, and he had completely forgotten about it, and he didn't want this person to really come here.

Speaking to Mahdi beside him, Mahdi was surprised: "Bastion? A member of the royal family of Otto in the Byzantine Empire? ”

"Second Uncle knows this person? It seems that there is a border conflict between your two countries, right? Li Zhi was surprised.

"It's impossible for me to know this person, but Bastião is a surname unique to the royal family of Odo, and maybe my guess is not accurate. As for conflicts between two countries, which neighbouring country can always coexist peacefully? Besides, they are all far away in a foreign country, and there is no such thing as ethnic disputes here! ”

As he spoke, several people had already arrived, and Li Zhi hurriedly stood up to meet him, and a group of people from the Western Regions also stood up.

Regardless of age and status, people

Bastião is also a child of the Eastern Roman royal family, even if he is in a roadside shop at the moment, he still has to have diplomatic etiquette.

After exchanging greetings with Li Zhi, Bastion went straight to the people of the Western Regions and learned from the Tang Dynasty people to bow their hands, which made the atmosphere relax a lot.

Mi Rui secretly pointed at Li Zhi: "Don't look at Bastien's youth, he knows how to socialize!" ”

Li Zhi asked, "Is Bastion a newcomer, or has he been here many times?" ”

"He came to Guangzhou for the first time, but the Eastern Roman envoy Kurtz had spoken of this person, and he had also inquired about you, and as long before I left for Quanzhou, I sent a letter to Mr. Kurtz according to the agreement, saying that you would come to Guangzhou! Therefore, Bastion hurried from Tianzhu! ”

"This kid can't be idle, why did he go to Tianzhu again?"

"You have to pay attention when you speak, don't always be a kid, this person has a very high status in the royal family, the youngest prince, and the status of the prince of the Tang Dynasty is about the same!"

Li Zhi was taken aback, he really didn't expect that Bastion, who seemed to have no scheming, a young face and was very easy to socialize, would have such a noble title.

Thinking that he had guessed what he was thinking, Mi Rui whispered: "But there are forty or fifty royal princes in their country. ”

Li Zhi breathed a sigh of relief, "I'm not afraid of how high this person's status is, it's more strange that a person with such a status is actually like a traveler who likes to travel around the world!" ”

Everyone quickly sat down to talk, and after a round of greetings, Bastião smiled at Li Zhi and said:

"The batch of items purchased in Luoyang City made me a lot of money, especially snuff and small note, which are in short supply! Mr. Li, tell me, what did you bring on board this time? You promised me that when you came to us, I would have exclusive sales rights! ”

In fact, this person is putting gold on Li Zhi's face, in fact, Li Zhi needs him to open up sales for himself in the Eastern Roman Empire, and the other party is obviously taking care of his own face when he says this.

Of course, this is not in vain, Li Zhi has already given him more than a dozen scattered colored diamonds in advance.

That thing may not be as expensive as high-quality jade in Datang, but it is very marketable in Western countries, and it is the best among high-end gemstones.

It was easy for Li Zhi to come to those colored diamonds, but for Bastien, he was shocked on the spot.

Therefore, he also did his best to Li Zhi's request, so although they only met each other once, a good business partnership had already been formed between the two.

Li Zhi replied with a smile: "In addition to jade and ready-to-wear, I brought everything that is in the Zhengqing Wenqi Hall, and there are dozens of more kinds of silk colors!" ”

"Isn't there any such fruit wine? Especially the grape-flavored ones! Bastião was satisfied, and pointed to the wine bottle on the low table in front of him.

Yes, it was the kind of low and simple wooden table in the homes of ordinary people, who were sitting on the side of the street at this time, and the already small place in the store was given to the diners who came to eat.

Li Zhi's palm flipped, and a bottle of wine appeared in front of him, causing Bastion's seemingly exaggerated exclamation: "Oh Maiga, what a magical oriental divine technique, can Mr. Li teach it to me?" ”

Next to him, Bei Zheng explained to him through a translator that this is an ability that cultivators only have after reaching a certain realm.

Bastion became even more interested: "I have heard that Mr. Li is a cultivator, and my country also has it, so the family has two masters by my side, but neither of them has such a special ability as Mr. Li. ”

Li Zhike didn't believe in this person's seemingly naïve and shallow cognition, but he also knew that Westerners were used to making a fuss, even if more often than not, they were psychologically dismissive.

However, Bastião in front of him didn't have those fancy intestines, at least in the art of knowing people that Li had learned at the beginning, he didn't notice that this person was playing some tricks again. (https:)
