The Ye family was located in the east of Jiuquan County.
Actually, with Ye Daosheng's family background, he could live in the north of Jiuquan County. Moreover, the Ye family also had a house in the north of Jiuquan County. However, in Ye Daosheng's opinion, living in the north of Jiuquan County meant being close to Jiang Zhengdao and being suppressed everywhere.
He didn't like this situation.
Therefore, the Ye family's house in the east of Jiuquan County was extremely luxurious. After all, Ye Daosheng was a businessman.
He liked things like this.
Ye Daosheng rarely went to the county office these two days. There was no other reason other than feeling uncomfortable. Jiang Zhengdao warned him, so Ye Daosheng was too lazy to go. After all, Jiang Zhengdao had the final say in the daily affairs of Jiuquan County.
His position as the county deputy was actually just a menial job. It was dispensable and could even be said to be insignificant.
Ye Daosheng was reading in the study.
He was reading the Romance of the Three Kingdoms. It was a book in Jiuquan County's Xinhua Bookstore. Ye Daosheng already liked this book after reading it once. When he bought it, he was so focused on reading it that he forgot to eat and sleep. Now that he had read it a few times, he still liked it.
Ye Daosheng felt that there was a lot of logic and strategies in the book.
It was really well written.
While Ye Daosheng was reading, there was a knock on the door outside the study. The butler's voice was heard, "Master!"
Ye Daosheng said, "Come in!"
The door creaked open. It was the butler. The butler walked to Ye Daosheng and reported, "Master, this is a letter from the Du family shop. Please take a look."
Ye Daosheng raised his eyebrows.
Du family shop.
Ye Daosheng thought for a while. He opened the letter and quickly skimmed through it. The content of the letter was simple. It said that the manager of the Du family shop in Jiuquan County wanted to meet Ye Daosheng.
The meeting location was in the tea shop.
If it were any other businessman, it would be impossible to meet Ye Daosheng. If the other party had something to do, he would have to take the initiative to visit the Ye family. However, the Du family shop was different. The Du family was the Du family of the Tang dynasty.
Ye Daosheng was willing to go.
Moreover, Ye Daosheng, who had been taught a lesson by Jiang Zhengdao, had his own thoughts. He wanted to rebel against Jiang Zhengdao, so now that he had received an invitation to meet the shopkeeper of the Du Family's shop in Jiuquan County, it was an opportunity for him.
Previously, Ye Daosheng had also been to the Du Family's Chang Pu, but he had not heard of any head shopkeeper.
The Du family's shops had shopkeepers.
Ye Daosheng immediately ordered the housekeeper to prepare a carriage. He changed his clothes and left in the carriage, heading towards the Du Family's number one tea shop. The location of the teahouse happened to be in the eastern part of the city as well.
The carriage arrived in less than a quarter of an hour.
As soon as Ye Daosheng arrived at the entrance, someone came forward to welcome him and lead him inside.
They arrived at the backyard, in an elegant room.
Du Qi was tasting tea.
After Ye Daosheng entered, Du Qi waved his hand and said, "Deputy Ye, please take a seat!"
"Thank you!"
After Ye Daosheng sat down, he sized up Du Qi.
After all, Ye Daosheng was a businessman and was good at reading people. Moreover, Ye Daosheng had been an official for a few years and had the ability to recognize people. He looked at Du Qi's age, and his mind raced. In the end, he raised his eyebrows in shock.
He thought of a possibility.
Ye Daosheng took a deep breath, quickly stood up, bowed 90 degrees, and solemnly said, "I didn't expect it to be Ping Xiwang. I am Ye Daosheng, deputy of Jiuquan county. Greetings to Ping Xiwang. "
Du Qi's mouth curved into a smile.
Ye Daosheng was interesting.
He could actually judge his identity.
Du Qi waved his hand to signal Ye Daosheng to sit down and said, "Deputy Ye, why do you think it's me?"
Ye Daosheng said, "There are three reasons."
Du Qi said, "I'm all ears."
Ye Daosheng said seriously, "First, because Ping Xiwang is young. In the Du family's shops, I can't think of anyone else who can be the shopkeeper at Ping Xiwang's age. "
"After all, the shopkeeper must be an experienced old man. It's difficult for young people to be qualified."
"So it can only be Ping Xiwang himself."
"Second, I've investigated Ping Xiwang's background. Ping Xiwang has never suffered losses in handling matters. At least, he won't be trampled on. And now, the Du family's shops have to pay 30% of the net profit to the government. "
"For the Du family's shops, this is simply cutting meat with a knife."
"But the Du family's shops have agreed. This is a bit strange, it's not in line with Ping Xiwang's style. So I just judged that it should be Ping Xiwang who personally came to handle this matter. "
"Ping Xiwang, Ping Xiwang naturally wants to eliminate the threat in the west. So Ping Xiwang may personally come."
"Third, Ping Xiwang's temperament stands out like a crane in a flock of chickens. He has the wisdom of a wise man. No one can imitate this. So on this point, I also think it's Ping Xiwang. "
Ye Daosheng explained for a while and then said, "Of course, even if it's a mistake, it's okay. At most, it'll be embarrassing."
Du Qi praised, "What a good Ye Daosheng. His eyes are indeed powerful."
Ye Daosheng said, "Ping Xiwang is overpraising."
Du Qi waved his hand to signal Ye Daosheng to sit down and said, "Since deputy Ye has judged my identity, then you can guess why I came to Jiuquan county."
Ye Daosheng said, "Could it be that Ping Xiwang came to Jiuquan county to solve the problem of Suzhou and Longyou Dao? Although the Tang dynasty is in control of Longyou Dao on the surface, but in fact, the officials of each province in Longyou Dao are doing their own thing. The situation is extremely bad. "
"Yes, and no!"
Du Qi answered with a smile.
He looked at Ye Daosheng and slightly nodded. Because this Ye Daosheng is very good.
He's quite knowledgeable.
Ye Daosheng appeared very respectful, saying, "Please enlighten me, Ping Xiwang."
Du Qi said, "I came to Jiuquan county to solve the problem of Suzhou. But I came to the Western Regions and didn't care about the situation of Longyou Dao. The situation of Longyou Dao will be solved by the officials of Longyou Dao. "
Hearing this, Ye Daosheng's mind became active.
Du Qi found him.
Du Qi didn't find Jiang Zhengdao.
This explains the problem.
Ye Daosheng is a businessman. He's good at seeking luck and avoiding disaster. At the same time, he also knows that the opportunity will not come again. At the critical moment, he must grasp the best opportunity. Once he misses it, he won't have it again.
Ye Daosheng's heart suddenly made a decision. He lifted his robe and directly knelt on the ground, saying in a powerful voice, "Ping Xiwang, Ye Daosheng is willing to be your servant. I'm willing to serve Ping Xiwang like a dog and horse."
Du Qi didn't immediately speak. His eyes just looked at Ye Daosheng. That gaze even made Ye Daosheng feel a little guilty. He felt a little creeped out, as if Du Qi had seen through him.
After a long while, Du Qi lightly said, "Ye Daosheng, can I trust you?"
"Yes!"
Ye Daosheng immediately answered.
Facing Du Qi, he felt a lot of pressure in his heart. Especially when Ye Daosheng knew that Du Qi is the author of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms. A person who can write such a great book must be extremely smart.
Not to mention that the King with a different surname in the Tang dynasty is Du Qi. From this, it can be seen.
So Ye Daosheng made a decision.
Moreover, Ye Daosheng has been dissatisfied with Jiang Zhengdao for a long time. This is a chance for him to overthrow Jiang Zhengdao and take the throne.
Du Qi stood up and walked to where Ye Daosheng was kneeling. He looked down at Ye Daosheng from above and said, "Ye Daosheng, you are willing to work for this king. This king is willing to believe in you and give you a chance. But if you betray me, you can't escape death no matter where you go. "
Ye Daosheng swore, "Ye Daosheng will never betray me. If I violate this oath, I'll be struck by lightning."
He directly swore.
Anyway, he has made up his mind to follow Du Qi, because this is his chance.
The solemn look on Du Qi's face disappeared and was replaced by a smile. He held Ye Daosheng up and said, "I believe in Deputy Ye. Come, come, sit down and talk."
"Thank you, Your Highness!"
Ye Daosheng also let out a long sigh of relief.
The opportunity is here.
He seized the opportunity.
