Chapter 1686: Be open-minded

Li Jiushao looked at Wang Yongzhu dumbfounded, he didn't come back to his senses for a long time, but Song Chongjin on the side didn't hold back, and a sip of tea "poof-" squirted out.

This voice made Li Jiu Shao come back to his senses, and smiled bitterly again and again: "You...... Why did you get married and still speak so openly? ”

This is also thanks to the fact that he has now put away all those thoughts, and Song Chongjin is also beside him, otherwise if it spreads, he will be gone, and Wang Yongzhu's reputation will be hindered.

Wang Yongzhu snorted: "What do you know?" I'm called open-minded, what do I say! You know, over there in the capital, our majesty and the queen mother like me to talk like this the most. ”

It's hard to continue.

Especially Li Jiushao, after all, he has been taking refuge with the queen for a few years, and he has really gained a lot of benefits from the queen.

Although the matter of adding fragrance to the red sleeves was a little popular at first, but in the follow-up treatment, the queen is already very generous and reasonable among the nobles.

The mother of a country, how many people stutter on weekdays, where will anyone chase the queen to compensate?

Not to mention, if you are other favored nobles in the palace, where will you compensate and say sorry to you?

Directly show some meaning, get acquainted, you have to honestly offer it all, and beg others to accept it.

When the time comes, those nobles, depending on the mood, will be considered benevolent.

This time he was able to get 50,000 taels of silver, except for the queen's reasoning, naturally he had nothing to do with Wang Yongzhu.

He originally thought that Wang Yongzhu was moving with the queen with affection and reasoning, and maybe there were other promises that made the queen so generous.

But now that I heard what I said, Wang Yongzhu was so straightforward with the queen?

Li Jiushao's face was full of doubts, and he didn't hide it at all. Anyway, he thinks he is a smart person, but when he compares with Song Chongjin, his brain can't keep up.

Wang Yongzhu sneered: "Our majesty and the queen mother today, they are all smart people, talking and dealing with smart people, and playing with your heart, you can play with others?" It's better to say something, I'm afraid that they still think you're a straightforward person, and they think a little more highly of you! Is the queen short of money? Lack! But she was able to give us 50,000 taels of silver, not only to show that she was a sensible and benevolent mother of the country, but also because I told her the truth and didn't lie to her and hide it from her! ”

When these words came out, not only Li Jiushao fell into contemplation, but even Song Chongjin was thoughtful.

However, both of them quickly gathered their minds and talked about the next arrangement.

According to the news from the capital, Gu Zikai estimated that it was time to arrive in the next few days.

As for Qin Bohan, he is in a high position, his position is critical, and he can't leave for a while.

Not to mention, now is the negotiation tentative stage, how many times will there be such a negotiation tug-of-war in the future, there is no need for him to stay here, almost set a boundary, and the people below will play.

When it's almost time to make a final decision, that's when he appears.

With Wang Yongzhu's complaint, when playing cards, doesn't Wang Fang have to be used at critical moments? Where is there a king fried in the first place? Do you need to give them such a face as the prairie?

Qin Bohan has already sent an official letter, appointed several expert negotiators, and some auxiliary personnel, all of whom have gone north with Gu Zikai.

Therefore, in the past few days, Song Chongjin has been preparing for the reception.

After all, when these people arrive here, they will not be able to leave in the short term, and I am afraid that they will stay here until the negotiations are over and the letters of state of the two countries are signed, and they can not return to the capital.

Therefore, this place of residence is also quite exquisite.

There are a lot of people who came, and it is estimated that there are about a dozen, and these people are not alone.

Although the post station in Chicheng County has been expanded and repaired in the past two years, it can't accommodate so many people, right?

What's more, these people are all living in the post station, and in the past few years, the officials who have been on business or transferred to Chicheng County are afraid that they will not be able to live there.

So we have to think of other ways to arrange these things properly.

In recent years, because of the good governance of Song Chongjin in Chicheng County, coupled with the existence of a trading market, merchants from all over the place often come and go, and there are not only several inns and restaurants in the county.

It is that there are a lot more private houses, and there are foreign merchants who buy a place to settle here, which is convenient in the future.

There are also local residents who have expanded their homes and rented them out to foreign merchants.

Not to mention anything else, the price of homesteads in Chicheng County has risen a lot now.

Fortunately, in the past few years, Wang Yongzhu has successively purchased a lot of shops and houses in Chicheng County.

There are several small courtyards that were originally placed together, adjacent to each other, and not far from the county office, only separated by two streets.

These people, two or three families, live in the front and back yards of the same house or in the east and west compartments, which is cheap, and they become a family by themselves when the door is closed.

Song Chongjin had greeted Wang Yongzhu before, and in the name of the county government, he rented these courtyards and gave them to those officials from the capital to live.

It just so happened that the merchant who rented the house before had quit the rent, and now these yards have been vacated, and they have already been cleaned, and a few rough mothers-in-law and old men who have guarded the door have also been arranged.

If there is any movement in the future, I can also send some news here.

As for Li Jiushao, Song Chongjin meant that he would follow him the next time he negotiated, after all, Song Chongjin and they might not be as clear as Li Jiushao when he was negotiating.

In terms of some details, I am afraid that it still needs to be reminded by Li Jiushao.

Of course, it is also to familiarize Li Jiushao with the situation here, and it is also to pave the way for him.

Li Jiushao knew clearly in his heart that now he and Song Chongjin were in the same boat, so there was no need for hypocritical excuses.

Nodding: "Don't worry, I know it!" ”

Song Chongjin only told him that he knew that Li Jiushao was a smart person who could seize the opportunity, so he would naturally not let go of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

Li Jiushao is not only a person who can seize opportunities, but also a person who can look at the eyes.

He knew that the next words might not be what he should have heard, so he got up and left.

came today, Wang Yongzhu invited him to come over to see the queen's explanation.

Now that the confession has been seen and obtained, naturally it can't stay longer.

Song Chongjin and Wang Yongzhu did not stay in vain, but only got up and sent to the door.

After coming back, the two discussed Gu Zikai's matter.

When he arrives here, although Gu Changqing will definitely arrange a good master and an entourage for him, but in the end, they are not familiar with the situation in this Saibei, I am afraid that they will have to arrange a few competent ones to help Gu Zikai gain a firm foothold.
