Chapter 475 Li Shishi’s methods

After listening to Xing Shu's words, Zhao Xu suddenly laughed: "So, the deal between Huang Liang and the Liao people is completed?"

"Reporting to the officials, that's exactly what happened." Xing Shu bowed and said, "Yeluju has deposited part of the Jiaozi he holds into the Bianjing bank account!"

"Other Liao people are also interested..."

Zhao Xu rubbed his hands as he listened.

What is the highest level of bribery?

Community of interests.

Now these Liao people save their money into a Song bank account.

Then who will people like Yeluju become in the future? There is no doubt anymore.

"How many Jiaozi are Yeluju willing to save?" Zhao Xu asked.

"As an official, Yeluju has saved 30,000 yuan of jiaozi..." Xing Shu replied.

"So many?" Zhao Xu was surprised.

Yeluju made a lot of money from the Song-Liao trade by taking kickbacks and benefits, accumulating almost 100,000 yuan.

Now he actually took out 30,000 yuan and deposited it into the Bianjing bank account. That Huang Liang is so talkative!

You know, although these Liao people make a lot of money, they also spend money quickly.

In the past two months, the price of overnight accommodation for famous prostitutes in Sangjia Wazi has increased a lot.

Many middle and low-level officials in Bianjing can hardly afford to spend money to listen to music at Goulan, and they are complaining for a while.

The main culprits are these Liao people who suddenly became rich.

They spend a lot of money in the tile hook fence.

Zhao Xu heard in the palace that a wealthy businessman, in order to please the contemporary Li Shishi, spent a lot of money on a mansion in Yimenfang, Bianjing New City, as a betrothal gift.

And that mysterious wealthy businessman is naturally Yeluju from the Liao Kingdom.

It can only be said that the contemporary Master Li is indeed very powerful.

With her mouth moving and acting coquettishly, Yeluju took out 10,000 yuan and bought her a house.

Yeluju took the lead, and other Liao people followed suit.

In the city of Bianjing, people spend money like water and do not regard money as money at all.

No wonder!

It's too easy for them to make money.

Naturally, they don’t value the money they have.

In addition, what they have on hand is Jiaozi, and it is difficult to control them once they get the upper hand.

This should be well understood by those modern brothers who reward female anchors during their live broadcasts.

Thinking of this, Zhao Xu took a deep look at Xing Shu.

Because according to what Zhao Xu knew, Xing Shu had always brought the Liao people there with Sangjia Wazi.

But the question is, is there only one Sangjia Wazi in Bianjing City?

As far as Zhao Xu knows, there are at least five or six large tiles in Bianjing City.

In the old city of Bianjing alone, there are two more.

The new door tiles outside the Zhuque Gate and the Baokang Gate tiles outside the Baokang Gate.

These two places are also places for famous prostitutes.

Back then, Liu Yong had been lingering in Baokangmen Wazi for a long time. Nowadays, Baokangmen's hooks and external publicity include "My home was the place where Liu Sanbian wrote lyrics" and "There is Liu Sanbian on the wall of my house." Such words as "authentic poems".

Nowadays, Yan Jidao, a well-known romantic talent in the world and the favorite of the girls in Bianjing City, often lies drunk in the tiles of Xinmen after returning to Beijing.

Recently, the phrase that has been sung in Bianjing City: There are only a handful of silver coins left tonight, and I am afraid that the meeting is in a dream. Legend has it that Yan Jidao and a few friends were composed while listening to a ditty in Wazi, Xinmen.

so……

Uncle Xinghe, after all, the defendant is eating the plaintiff!

Maybe the owners of Sangjia Wazi's hooks had given him a lot of benefits.

But it doesn’t matter.

When you are an emperor, you often have to turn a blind eye.

Minimize interference in the affairs of ministers.

As long as they are doing their job seriously, leave it alone.

Of course, I should also understand in my heart, what are these ministers doing behind my back?

Just don't let them fool you.

With thoughts running through his mind, Zhao Xu became curious and asked, "How did Huang Liang convince Yeluju?"

At first, Zhao Xu estimated that it would be good if Yeluju could save three to five thousand guan.

Who would have thought that this guy would be willing to save so much?

Xing Shu said: "As far as I know, Huang Liang seems to have made a promise to Yeluju and others."

"Huh?" Zhao Xu asked, "What promise?"

"As soon as you need it, send someone to inform you, and you can withdraw money at Waqiaoguan within one month!" Xing Shu reported.

When Zhao Xu heard this, his eyes lit up.

This is indeed an offer that a person like Yeluju cannot refuse.

After all, although the Jiaozi in their hands is easy to carry, there is only one place like Jiaoziwu in Bianjing where they can exchange it for copper coins, gold, silver, spices, silk cloth and other precious metals or their equivalents.

Therefore, if they wanted to exchange Jiaozi for copper coins or other things, they could only do so in Bianjing.

This brings about a huge problem - transportation.

It is not an easy task to transport money from Bianjing to Waqiaoguan, and the cost is also very high.

Then, a huge cost had to be paid to transport it from Waqiao Pass to Shangjing, Nanjing and other places in the Liao Kingdom.

Huang Liang promised that as long as Yeluju informed him in advance, he could withdraw the money at Waqiao Pass in one month.

This kind of service can be said to have completely met the needs of people like Yeluju.

only……

Zhao Xu asked: "How did Huang Liang convince Yeluju?"

This is indeed the crux of the matter.

You just want to convince others by talking empty words? He also handed over such a huge sum of money to a businessman whom he met for the first time...

Yeluju is not a child!

It can't be so childish.

Xing Shu hesitated for a moment, but chose to confess: "I reported to the officials that Huang Liang revealed his identity as a member of the Huanglu tribe, and also asked the officials and Cao Huan, the son of the Prince of Xingyang County, to act as guarantees."

"Oh?" Zhao Xu still didn't believe it and said suspiciously: "Is it that simple?"

Huang Lu's clan members plus Xing Shu and Cao Huan acted as guarantees.

In Bianjing City, there may be credibility.

But among the Liao people, I'm afraid they have no credibility.

Xing Shu swallowed his saliva and bowed cautiously: "In addition, Master Li was the one who exerted his strength."

Zhao Xu chuckled: "Master Li?"

A prostitute in a hookhouse actually trapped a big noble from the Liao Kingdom? !

First, let him spend a lot of money to buy a house in Bianjing.

Now he can still influence Yeluju's decision?

Is it possible that Yeluju is still an infatuated person?

To be honest, Zhao Xu didn't believe it.

Xing Shu didn't dare to hide it, so he had to say: "The officials don't know. Last month, the Liao envoy Yeluju spent a lot of money to buy back Li Shishi's ancestral home in Yimenfang, Bianjing New City, and also bought Li Shishi's mother and brother. They all took it back.”

Zhao Xu suddenly let out a sigh.

This was something he didn't know about.

"Tell me carefully..." He became curious.

Xing Shu then introduced to Zhao Xu the life experience of the contemporary Li Shishi.

Speaking of which, he is also a poor person.

The native family of this contemporary Master Li is actually quite good.

His ancestors were also generals of the Forbidden Army, and even served as the commander of the Tiger Wing Army during the Renmiao era.

However, his father was a gambler and lost all his good family property.

Then they can only pawn their wives and sell their daughters.

Huang Liang used the Cao family's connections to find out the whereabouts of Li Shishi's mother and siblings.

They found these people through the Cao family and reunited their mother and daughter. Having received such great kindness from Huang Liang, Master Li would naturally repay him.

That was it.

In short, this thing sounds magical, but it is also very realistic.

After hearing this, Zhao Xu pursed his lips and no longer cared.

He only cares about the results, not the process and its details.

As long as Yeluju and his friends' money is stored in Bianjing's bank account, and as long as the interests of these people are continuously deeply bound to the Song Dynasty, this is enough.

……

Yimenfang.

In a house of more than ten people.

Yeluju lay on the bed and looked at 'Master Li' who came in with hot water.

"Madam, just ask the servants to take care of these things." Yeluju sat up and said with some distress.

'Master Li' smiled sweetly and came to him while holding hot water. With a pair of slender hands, she carefully wrung out the towel, and then tenderly served Beilu, who was almost as old as her father.

Those eyes like autumn water were full of tenderness, and they were all the shadow of this man.

"An official is a slave's official..." She lowered her head and said, "We'll say goodbye now, and I'll serve you well."

Yeluju listened and hugged this woman, feeling extremely distressed in his heart.

When I first met this woman, I was purely attracted by her color, figure, and singing voice.

But as time went by, he inevitably fell into despair.

It’s not that he hasn’t seen beauties before.

In fact, in Shangjing City, Yeluju's wives and concubines were also beautiful.

However, it is impossible or impossible to find a woman like "Master Li" who is well-educated, gentle and virtuous, and has the youthfulness of a girl and the charm of a woman in Shangjing City.

There is no way, this 'Master Li' is the signature of Sangjiawazi that has been passed down for more than a hundred years.

Generation after generation, Mr. Li taught by words and deeds, constantly summarizing and summarizing.

Li Shishi, who had achieved such an achievement, could not even intimidate a Liao aristocrat who grew up in a 'simple' environment like Shangjing.

Thirty years later, Master Li of that generation would become extremely handsome.

He directly caught Zhao Ji and asked an emperor who owned the world to sneak out of the palace in the middle of the night to have an affair.

Who is Zhao Ji?

Emperor Daojun was famous for his literary talent.

In terms of artistic quality and art appreciation level alone, Li Yu is probably the only one who can stand a fight throughout the ages.

At that time, Master Li could even be fascinated by Zhao Ji.

Today's Master Li, even though his appearance and figure are not as good as that generation's Master Li.

But even if his skills in dealing with men and serving men are not as good as that one, they are not far behind.

'Master Li' stretched out his hand and caressed Yeluju's chest, and then said affectionately: "Master, please rest assured."

"After the official returns, the slave will wait here quietly for his return."

"If the official doesn't return, the slave will keep waiting."

Listening to 'Master Li's' tender and touching sentiments, Yeluju was full of pity. He held the beauty in his arms and made a promise: "Don't worry, madam, I will come back soon."

Originally, the "Bianjing merchants" who gave Li Shishi to him promised to buy Li Shishi a mansion in Waqiao Pass.

But when it came to an end, Yeluju felt heartbroken.

I can't bear to let this delicate little lady suffer the hardships of that carriage and horse.

After learning about the other party's life experience, he directly spent a lot of money to buy back the other party's ancestral home.

Yeluju still remembers when he led Master Li back here.

Tears bursting from the other person's eyes.

At that time, he felt that the ten thousand yuan was well spent!

No wonder, Emperor Tang Ming would not even care about the country for Yang Yuhuan!

'Master Li' hugged Yeluju's body and whispered in his ear: "Actually, officials don't have to agree to other people's conditions just because they are slaves..."

"I don't want an official to be blackmailed for being a slave."

Yeluju listened, hugged the other party's soft body tightly, and said, "Madam, you don't know something!"

"The reason why I agreed to those people is not only to repay my wife's kindness, but also because I have to leave a way out!"

Yeluju said and looked to the north.

He will never forget that he was promoted by the Grand Master.

The Grand Master forced Empress Xiao to be killed and Prince Zhaohuai was poisoned.

But it didn't eradicate the root cause, and a scourge remained.

Today’s emperor’s grandson!

My grandson is still young now, but he will grow up.

If the grandson comes to the throne in the future, he wants to avenge his grandmother and father.

Now that the Grand Master and Xianggong Zhang are both dead.

Who will Taisun punish?

Naturally, it was an old person like him who was promoted by the Grand Master.

So, we have to guard against it! Have to guard against it!

There must be a backup plan and a way out.

In order to avoid being like the Grand Master back then, things happened in a hurry and there was no place to escape even if he wanted to.

Besides, even if you don’t plan for the future.

You have to plan for now!

The Song-Liao trade was so lucrative that it would inevitably arouse jealousy.

Some people in the mission were already whispering in private that he was too greedy.

This matter absolutely cannot be hidden.

There will definitely be people trying their best to covet the position of Southern Dynasty envoy.

He even found excuses to bring him down.

Therefore, the banknote deposit business of the merchant from the Southern Dynasties was actually in urgent need of people like him.

Even if there is no reason for 'Master Li', he will agree.

He didn't deposit all the money into that ticket number. He was being cautious and saved some money.

Yeluju’s words made ‘Master Li’s’ eyes become watery.

She pressed Yeluju down with gentle force, then lay on Yeluju's chest and gently nibbled on Yeluju's chest.

"Liu Lang..." she called softly: "I will serve you once more..."

……

In the Funing Palace.

Zhao Xu watched Xing Shu retreating step by step. When Xing Shu exited the east pavilion, he also stood up, with Yan Yuan following him.

Passing around a screen, a portal appears in front of you. With a slight push, the smell of summer hits your face.

The sun is shining, butterflies are flying, and flowers are blooming in brilliant colors.

"Feng Jing!" Zhao Xu ordered Feng Jing who was waiting in the Imperial Garden: "Go and summon the Lord of Ganquan County to the Imperial Garden."

After Wen Xunniang entered the palace, she was first raised under the lap of the Empress Dowager.

After discussion between the two palaces, Empress Dowager Xiang was finally adopted as an adopted daughter, and she was named the Lord of Ganquan County.

This is an honorary title.

But Ganquan County was under the rule of Yanzhou, and Yanzhou was the fiefdom of Zhao Xu when he was in Qiandi - he was the king of Yan'an County, the governor of Yanzhou, and the military commander of Yanzhou.

This is the place where one started and the country where one lives.

Therefore, it is no surprise that Yanzhou will be upgraded during this year’s Shenglong Festival.

From Yanzhou to Yanzhou Prefecture.

Therefore, Wen Xunniang's title of Lord of Ganquan County itself contains some hints and metaphors.
