The Shu merchants who had already left did not eat as they could not eat. They went to a restaurant and asked for a private room. Everyone sat down to discuss matters.
"I'm not afraid of being laughed at. When I went in and came out, I forced myself to stay calm. When I spoke, it was too scary."
Huang Xianrong said to the other merchants. He felt that his mind was blank.
Yang Huanjin was drinking beside him to calm himself down. He felt that in that situation, being able to speak was a success.
Huang Xianrong continued, "Four beautiful palace maids and four quick-witted eunuchs, stand in the so-called positions.
The young man, Dongzhu, Li Yi brewed tea. No, he brewed tea with hot water. It was like dancing. I've never seen it before.
I kept telling myself not to be afraid. Just treat it as if it was all fake. But when I spoke, I still felt guilty.
Later, I took out the document written by the county magistrate and wanted to rely on it. In the end, Li Yi did not admit it and said that Wan Nian Magistrate Li Yuanhong personally came.
After that, did you see Chang An Magistrate Pei Yaoqing? When he was outside, he did not know that the two of us were there. He called Li Yi Brother Yi. "
Huang Xianrong talked about his experience with a trace of pride. He went in and drank the tea personally brewed by Li Yi.
"Can't we borrow the craftsmen?" Some Shu merchants were not satisfied with the result.
"Take out the membership card of Heavenly World and treat the county magistrate to a meal." Someone suggested.
Everyone felt that it was feasible. First, someone ran to the second floor of Heavenly World to ask if there were any seats in the buffet. The result was that there were none.
Then, he asked the third floor and there was one that could seat ten people. He quickly booked it.
When he came back, he contacted the county magistrate Guan Bai. The county magistrate had not eaten and was busy. He was busy counting the identities of the poor so that he could cooperate with Pei Yaoqing to pick the tea.
Heavenly World was in the East City, which happened to be under the jurisdiction of Wan Nian County.
Guan Bai agreed. He did not have the membership card of Heavenly World and no one would give it to him.
It was not that they did not want to give it to him. The one who was willing to give him a hundred chins was too shameful and did not want to give him a thousand chins.
One million chins was enough for a deputy in the capital. Ten million chins. No one would agree.
Thus, he brought along a clerk that he liked the most, mainly because this clerk's family was an official.
There were two deputy district magistrates and six businessmen.
There were two empty seats at the table for ten people. One was for relaxation and the other was for the deputy magistrate to call someone over.
The merchants chose the representatives, and the others chose the ones outside, the kind that they chose themselves.
He booked a large room somewhere else and ate while waiting.
When the dishes were ordered, the complimentary cold plates were served first. At the same time, the wine was served for the guests to drink first.
"Chang 'an is indeed different. This year, it is even better than the past. This is the merit of Guan Shaofu." A businessman began to flatter according to the procedure.
Guan Bai did not feel that way. He was indeed very hardworking. He cooperated with Chang 'an, which did not belong to his county, to keep Pei Yaoqing busy.
Of course, he also received the benefits. It was said that His Majesty was very satisfied.
The commoners also became more stable. They all had an income, and there were fewer people who did bad things. The yamen didn't have much work to do.
"Minister of Finance, there's something I don't know. Chang 'an is governed by two counties. I heard that Pei Ming's mansion was the one who made the arrangements last year? Is Li Ming's mansion willing to do so? "
Some businessmen started to stir up trouble. I am on your behalf.
Guan Bai looked at the other party and laughed, "Haha, we are all working for His Majesty. As long as the commoners are living well, it doesn't matter who comes up with the idea."
He knew what the other party was thinking. He also felt uncomfortable at first. Why should Chang 'an cause so much trouble?
Later, when he received the benefits, what else could he say?
Especially the commoners. After the curfew, they stopped making trouble. They were more stable than a few years ago.
The underground forces in Pyong Kang Square were still well-behaved. During the Lunar New Year and the 15th day of the Lunar New Year, the obedient underground organizations earned a lot of money.
The disobedient ones held on. When their subordinates received little benefits, some of them ran away and did not want to work with you anymore.
"Minister of Finance, you are right. But I have a heart-wrenching matter today. Do you remember to give me a document for the recruitment of craftsmen?"
Huang Xianrong drank a big mouthful of wine. He seemed to be in a bad mood.
"Yes, but it was not written by the Magistrate. It was a private matter." Guan Bai explained the situation. At the same time, he was proud that his words were effective.
"Someone said that you are not good enough. In the past, he did not have time to deal with you. Someone who has Zhuangzi." Huang Xianrong continued.
Guan Bai knew that the other party wanted him to stand up for him. At the same time, he was angry. My words are not effective?
Yang Huanjin added, "He also called Minister Wei of the Ministry of Works Old Wei, Prime Minister Old Lu, Old Yao and Old Zhang."
"Which Zhuangzi is it? Maybe I did not take good care of it. In the future, I will take good care of it. "Guan Bai's words were filled with killing intent.
"Guan Bai, how do you want to take care of it?" At this point, a voice was heard from another room.
"Who is it?" Guan Bai asked angrily.
Shua ~ ~ Three screens were pulled open, revealing the people on the other side.
There were four of them. Three of them were sitting and one of them was standing. It was obvious that he was the one who pulled the screens.
He did not recognize the rest of them. It was an old man.
Guan Bai stood up at the same time as the documents he had brought. He bowed his head.
"Minister Lu, Minister Yao, Minister Zhang and Minister Wei, I did not know you were here."
Guan Bai did not understand what was going on and hurriedly apologized. He was too loud and had disturbed the people eating.
Hua la hua la, the other six merchants stood up amidst the chaos.
The three ministers and one minister were eating at the side.
"Let me ask you, how do you want to take care of it?" Lu Huaishen asked again.
"I … which Zhuangzi?" Guan Bai was not stupid. He could tell that Minister Lu's tone was not right. He turned around and asked the merchants.
"The one east of Ba River …" A merchant said.
Before he could finish, Guan Bai asked, "The Li Family Zhuangzi? Li Yi, Li Dongzhu? "
"Yes, that's him. He was disrespectful to you, the three ministers and Minister Wei." Another merchant nodded.
Guan Bai took a deep breath. He wanted to cry. How could he have known that this group of people would take the documents he had written to Li Yi?
"Old Yao, that brat Li Yi called you Old Yao. Did you teach him a lesson?" Lu Huaishen smiled and turned his head to ask.
Yao Chong also smiled. "That brat is still so kind to me. Is it Old Wei? Old Zhang? "
"I'm not old. I'll go back and ask him why he called me that. At the very least, I'll have to eat three meals with him at Zhuangzi." Zhang Chong said with a calm expression.
Wei Zhigu sighed. "I think I'm still young. I'll go with Daoji. What about you, Old Lu?"
"This old man is old. Old Lu will be Old Lu. Speaking of which, I still have to thank Minister Guan for taking care of … "Lu Huaishen said.
"I didn't, I didn't know. Minister Lu, I'm innocent."
Guan Bai was sweating profusely. What he wanted most at this moment was to throw these six people down the stairs.
Are you tired of living? Didn't you see the Qianniu Guards when you went over? Didn't you know there were palace maids and eunuchs?
Any official in Chang 'an who had some connections would know what was going on. You …
With a clatter, the screen was pulled up layer by layer.
Lu Huaishen didn't want to say another word. Eating was more important. After eating, he would go home and see how the construction of the house was going.
A voice came from the other side. "I'm the one who suffered a loss. I'm not old. I'll remember this. I'll go back and find Li Yi to make up for it."
"Keep your voice down, the walls have ears." Another voice rang out, and then there was no more sound from this side.
"Give me the document I wrote." Guan Bai stretched out his hand.
Yang Huanjin hesitated, but still took the document out of his sleeve and handed it over.
Guan Bai took it. "Didn't you say it was to repair the boat? You're taking it to the Li Family Zhuangzi? Didn't your fellow villagers tell you about Ba Shui Zhuangzi? Why are there always people who aren't afraid of death? "
After saying this, he turned around and left. What was there to eat? If they continued to eat, it would be their last meal.
The document followed. Before leaving, he turned around and gave the six people a thumbs up. You're amazing!
