Chapter 1598 The Duke's Attitude To Jones 2
But you still need to be careful.

Both Jones and the Duke are wily elders, and their own tricks are absolutely nothing in their eyes; everything about them may be in their calculations except magic.

That being the case... you should wait and see again.Huanmeng nodded slightly, motioning for the Duke to continue talking.

"If you want to reduce the price of salt and coal, the project must go through his subordinates; speaking from my experience, giving certain 'benefits' in advance can make the entire plan more efficient."

Hey, hey, you actually want to bribe that guy yourself?Don't even think about it!How can the work presided over by that kind of person be trusted!

"If you want to deal with that person, just pay attention to the 'interests'. He is quite smart and can analyze exactly what benefits you can get from your words. He seems to have nothing to do all day, but he thinks in his spare time How to use various ways to gain benefits...status, money, power, reputation, as long as it is beneficial, he wants it." The Duke said, "If he thinks that what he is planning has enough benefits If not, he may even come to the door in person—this is how our discussions usually go.”

"What was planned?" Huanmeng asked, "For example... what is it like?"

Considering the cooperative relationship between the two, it is possible that the Duke knew part of Jones' plan... I don't know to what extent Jones leaked it to the Duke?
"Take people's money and do things for others. The attitudes of the Wave School and the Chao School towards bribery are different. The Wave School's point of view is 'you can't accept bribes', while the Chao School's point of view is 'you can't let the Wave School find out', so he privately He has taken benefits from an unknown number of people--the methods are also strange, such as stuffing gold grains into the belly of a white striped chicken... You should not be interested. This is what he plans all day long, of course, he can't do too much Otherwise, there will be suspicious things in the government affairs he handles, and he will be reported and exposed by the officials of the Lang faction. It is not easy for him to think about it. He has to take care of his own greed while maintaining My own reputation, hehehe..."

This duplicity old bastard!That's not what he said when I asked him if he could help!Although I have long thought that this might be the case, it is really good to hear the Duke repeat it!
"In addition to being greedy for money, he is also very interested in other things-for example, he wants to try to gain a good reputation, so he wants to take the credit of his subordinates to himself, which is called "guiding meritorious service"; If you make a mistake, you have to beat your subordinates and reprimand them for 'incompetence'. Huh, the passenger said the wrong destination, but they have to blame the driver for driving in the wrong direction!"

It's really the opposite of Mu Lang...

"Of course, all of these must be based on power and status. To ensure that the Chao faction has a considerable say in the morning meeting, he can do as much as he can... This is the only thing he can barely call 'public' Local. Since the Chaopai’s work intensity and governance achievements are obviously inferior to the Langpai’s, they can only find ways to bring the Langpai to the same level as themselves; they will use various offensive methods to slander the Langpai, And the instigator of these tricks is Mu Lang...According to Yu's speculation about his consistent behavior, he seems to be planning a fairly large-scale operation against the Lang Pai some time ago..."

What he said, could it be...! ?
