After Meng Jiuyou stood still, Du Qi gestured for Meng Jiuyou to sit down.
Meng Jiuyou said, "Young Master, now that I'm working for you, what should we do next?"
Du Qi said, "When Zhou Qing returns, we'll see how he deals with Yan Three. Then, we'll know what to do next. No matter what, I'll support you to be the county magistrate of Fushan County. "
Meng Jiuyou said, "Thank you, Young Master. I'll follow your orders."
Du Qi nodded. "I trust you."
Meng Jiuyou said, "Young Master, there's another key to dealing with Zhou Qing. That's the county magistrate, Nie Hu. Zhou Qing and Nie Hu don't have a good relationship. As for the army, although you've reorganized it, Nie Hu is still the one leading it. If you can rope him in, it'll be better. "
Du Qi said, "There's no need for that now. We'll just wait and see. If you do too much, you'll be exposed. If you want to be the county magistrate, you must win everyone's support. Do you understand? "
Meng Jiuyou said, "I understand!"
After a pause, Meng Jiuyou continued, "Young Master, you're doing business in Fushan County. If I may be so bold, what are your ambitions? "
He wanted to know about Du Qi's situation.
If Du Qi was just a businessman who wanted to expand his business, it would be a miracle if he could become the county magistrate.
There was nothing to worry about.
After all, the Meng family's strength was only this little.
It was enough for him to become the county magistrate.
Du Qi smiled and said, "Meng Jiuyou, you've asked a good question. From this point of view, you do have some ambition. "
Meng Jiuyou said, "Young Master, no matter what ambition I have, I'm your man."
Du Qi said, "You don't have to worry about this. This Young Master can accommodate your ambitions. You can become the county magistrate if you want. You can also become the governor if you want. In fact, if you want to go one step further and become the lord of a state, that won't be a problem. The problem is, do you have the ability to do so? "
Meng Jiuyou's eyes widened.
It was somewhat unbelievable.
In fact, he even felt that it was a little inappropriate. That shouldn't be the case, right?
He felt that it was feasible to be the governor of a county.
Perhaps it could be done.
However, becoming the lord of a prefecture was too far away. In fact, it was far beyond his imagination. Without sufficient strength, it was impossible to become the lord of a state.
He was already a true feudal official.
Du Qi noticed Meng Jiuyou's expression and chuckled: "What, you don't believe me?"
Meng Jiu You said: "Young master, it's not that I don't believe you. However, becoming the lord of a state was not something that could be accomplished overnight. This kind of thing can't be done in a short time. "
Du Qi stroked his beard and said, "Meng Jiuyou, let me tell you something. My background is beyond your imagination. The strength that this Young Master possesses is something that you cannot imagine. So you don't have to worry about that. As long as you can establish yourself in Fu Shan County and have enough ability, I can help you get promoted. "
After pausing for a while, Du Qi continued: "Also, let me tell you something else. If you submit to me, it's the same as submitting to Xia Xia. From now on, you are Xia Xia's man. "
Hiss!
Meng Jiuyou took a deep breath.
Suddenly, Meng Jiuyou understood.
Du Qi's so-called merchant identity was just a cover to hide his identity.
Du Qi was definitely someone with status in Xia Xia.
He must be a noble.
Or a general.
Meng Jiuyou said: "I was stupid and didn't think of young master's identity. Now that young master represents Xia Xia, you are Xia Xia's envoy and the first person to land in Great Qin. "
Du Qi nodded and continued: "There is one more thing that you must remember. Xia Xia's surname is Du. "
Meng Jiuyou's heart shook.
At this moment, Meng Jiuyou had a rough guess.
Du Qi's status in Xia Xia was at least a Duke or even higher. To land in Great Qin with such an identity and to plot against Great Qin was indeed admirable.
He was not simple!
Meng Jiuyou knelt again and said solemnly: "Don't worry, young master. I will do my best to serve you."
Du Qi nodded: "You may rise."
Meng Jiuyou's heart calmed down.
He was even more ambitious.
The reason was simple: Du Qi was not a simple merchant. He was Xia Xia's envoy and even the representative of Xia Xia. Therefore, now that he had established a connection with this person, it meant that he had gained a huge leg to stand on.
Meng Jiuyou said: "Young master, even so, we can't be too soft when dealing with Zhou Qing. Once Zhou Qing returns, we can make our move. Zhou Qing is outside now, so why don't we deal with him now? "
Du Qi said: "Zhou Qing is outside now. If he dies, who will take over the army? It won't be appropriate for me to take over. Once the army is defeated by Yan Three, Fushan County will be in danger. Therefore, Zhou Qing must return first. Then, we will deal with Zhou Qing. Let's wait for now. There's no rush. "
"Yes!"
Meng Jiuyou replied solemnly.
Du Qi waved his hand, and Meng Jiuyou turned around and left.
When Meng Jiuyou returned to his residence, his face was filled with joy and excitement.
He, Meng Jiuyou, had endured for most of his life, and now, his luck had finally changed. To Meng Jiuyou, he was not a loyal subject. Moreover, Great Qin had not been established for long, and there was no such thing as loyalty. Therefore, even though Meng Jiuyou had betrayed Great Qin, he did not feel any guilt. Instead, he was filled with anticipation.
He was looking forward to taking over a region.
He was looking forward to becoming the governor of a county.
He was even going to be the governor of a state.
This was what he wanted.
Just as Meng Jiuyou was feeling happy, his son entered.
Meng Jiuyou's son was called Meng Yizhou. He was already in his twenties and had been studying since he was young. However, the Meng family's conditions were ordinary, and Meng Jiuyou did not have the influence to make Meng Yizhou an official early.
Therefore, Meng Yizhou was mainly working as a scribe in the county office. Moreover, it was a low-ranking scribe.
After Meng Yizhou stood still, he said, "Father, I don't want to work in the county office anymore. Because there are many people in the county office who work for the county magistrate. County Magistrate Zhou is seizing power everywhere, and his people are everywhere. I can't have a foothold. Even if I'm right and handle things well, it's useless. "
Meng Jiuyou said, "Yizhou, don't be anxious. Wait a little longer."
Meng Yizhou said, "But I feel that it's boring. I can't do anything in the county office."
Meng Jiuyou said, "Soon, you can do anything. Wait a little longer, at most half a month, and everything will be clear."
Meng Yizhou was puzzled. He did not understand what was going on, so he asked, "Father, why do you say it will be clear in half a month? What do you mean by that? "
Meng Jiuyou said, "You don't need to know the details. In short, be patient. Soon, you won't be restrained. "
Meng Yizhou was even more curious.
However, Meng Jiuyou insisted not to say. Since Meng Yizhou said so, Meng Yizhou did not ask anymore and turned to leave.
