The First Happy King of Zhenguan in the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 693 Madam Policy

As the saying goes, rare things are precious!

It was the first time for a mirror to appear in Tang Dynasty or in Goguryeo. I have already gotten used to the blurring of bronze mirrors. When I suddenly saw such a clear reflection, my first reaction was that this thing should be priceless.

This is the same as giving Cixi a car when the Eight-Power Allied Forces first entered Beijing.

From our present point of view, it seems a little stingy to send a car to the queen mother of a country, but in China at that time, that car was almost a copy of the poison of the scorpion, and its value was far beyond what money could measure .

In the same way, a mirror placed more than 300 years ago was an incomparable treasure to the people at that time, much more valuable than any pearl agate, although it was actually just some broken stones burned out .

So Pei Xingjian entered the mansion of the Prime Minister of Goguryeo almost effortlessly, and received warm hospitality at the same time.

During the banquet, even the Prime Minister's wife and young lady showed up and offered a toast to Pei Xingjian, a disciple of the Xiaoyao King.Of course, this is not to say that Jin Chengyou intends to marry a daughter, but that the temptation of the mirror is too great. Mrs. Jin and Miss Jin really want Xiao Pei to give him two more.

After drinking for three rounds, the wine was full, and a servant brought tea, Jin Chengyou asked with a smile: "Brother Pei, how is Xiaoyao County King?"

"Prime Minister Jin, my teacher is well recently. When I came here, I specifically asked me to ask for your help." Pei Xingjian was able to deal with such situations with ease. Compared with doing business, such a formulaic conversation undoubtedly made people He is more adaptable.

Everyone was seated on the flowery sedan chair, and Pei Xingjian held Jin Chengyou in his arms and said, Jin Chengyou can't just accept it like this, and proper politeness is still required, so he smiled and waved his hands and said: "Hey, what the Xiaoyao County King said is over, with him like this Mr. Pei, why should Brother Pei ask others for advice?"

Pei Xingjian continued to be courteous: "Hehe, Prime Minister Jin's magnanimity is admirable. No wonder Mr. has been telling the younger generation that you are his only confidant in Goguryeo."

Speaking of confidants, Jin Chengyou's heart twitched, and the scenes of Li Muyun back then when he was in the capital resurfaced again, as if it was yesterday.

After he was emotional for a while, he seemed to think of something, looked at Pei Xingjian and asked, "Brother Pei, I don't know why you are here in Goguryeo?"

"Oh, that's how it is." Pei Xingjian put away his smile and said seriously: "Sir asked me to come to Goguryeo mainly to develop the international market, to industrialize mining, real estate, textiles and other businesses, collectivize them, and internationalize them... .”

Pei Xingjian, who had inherited Li Muyun's lip service, babbled for a quarter of an hour, which made Jin Chengyou dizzy, except for nodding repeatedly, there was no other reaction.

After finally waiting for him to finish speaking, and nearly a quarter of an hour later, Lao Jin asked with some uncertainty: "Brother Pei, what do you mean by this visit to Goguryeo to do business?"

"Yes, mainly real estate and mining business." Pei Xingjian replied with a smile.

Jin Chengyou frowned: "This... I don't know how Xiaoyaowang plans to do mining business in our Goguryeo?"

Pei Xingjian said bluntly: "We can use the method of cooperation. Both you and I will jointly invest in the development of iron, black stone, jade and other businesses. As for the specific details of the cooperation, I think that if it is convenient for the Prime Minister, I can introduce some of your country's products to the younger generation. Shijia and Xungui, when the time comes, everyone can sit down and have a good discussion."

"Hiss..." Jin Chengyou took a deep breath, and wanted to refuse directly, but from the corner of his mouth, he caught a glimpse of Mrs. Jin behind the screen gesturing to him, so he temporarily changed his words and said: "If this is the case, brother Pei, give the old man After some time, after five days, how about giving you an accurate answer?"

Pei Xingjian smiled slightly, stood up and clasped his fists in thanks: "Your obedience, thank you, Prime Minister."

Not being directly rejected was far beyond Pei Xingjian's expectation. It seems that the small mirror before was not given away for nothing, so the shopkeeper Zhao's idea is still reliable.

At this time, Jin Chengyou also felt that the topic was almost over, so he picked up the tea cup on the table and didn't drink it, so he just glanced at Pei Xingjian.

Pei Xingjian still understood the principle of serving tea to see off guests. After seeing Lao Jin's actions, he left with a smile, which was the end of this visit.

When he left with the Xiong family brothers who were guarding outside, Mrs. Jin turned out from behind the screen, came to Jin Chengyou's side, sat down and said: "Master, you are too, this is such a good opportunity, why don't you I know you should catch it, if it wasn't for my concubine to stop you, I'm afraid you would have been pushed out of the door by the God of Wealth."

"What do you know as a woman? Li Muyun is insidious and cunning. If there is no benefit, how could he send someone to cooperate with us?" Jin Chengyou sighed, seeing that his wife seemed to want to say something more, he waved his hand to stop him, and continued. : "Besides, there is no need to cooperate with Datang at all in this mining business. It is actually not the same as our own development. Why take advantage of them at a lower price."

Mrs. Jin rolled her eyes after listening to Jin Chengyou's words: "Oh, sir, don't talk about it, and develop it yourself. If you develop it yourself, when it will be your turn, it will be a big deal. If we Goguryeo developed it by ourselves, I am afraid that other than the five quilts, no one else will get a share of it.”

Jin Chengyou snorted angrily: "That's better than selling out the family property of our ancestors. We know that Li Muyun is uneasy and kind, so are we going to be fooled?"

Mrs. Jin was also a little angry at this time, she stood up and shouted: "Why did you get fooled, why did you get fooled? Return the family property of your ancestors. Which of those things in the field were left to you by your ancestors! Don't make any money with the money you get!" , but leave it there for others to dig, are you really stupid?"

"If you want me to say that the Tang people want to come, let them come. When the time comes, everyone will develop those minerals together. With the participation of their Datang people, maybe you can make a fortune from it. When the time comes, save the money. You, the ancestor, left the family property to future generations."

I have to say that this pillow wind is indeed very strong and abnormal. Jin Chengyou, who was still dedicated to the public, thought that the minerals in Goguryeo could only be dug by Goguryeo's own people, and he hesitated unconsciously.

The last time Li Muyun left him [-] coins when he left, and later he handed them all over to the court, but in the end he didn't get any benefit, and the money went into the pockets of many irrelevant people , and did not enter the national treasury, such a situation made Jin Chengyou feel like a fool.

Now, the opportunity came again. Whether to do what my wife said, to find all the people to discuss cooperation with Li Muyun, or to drive the people sent by Li Muyun out of the capital, has become a very difficult matter.
