Great Wei Overlord

Chapter 275
Chapter 280

Zhu Yingtai was startled and asked, "Why are you in such a hurry?"

Ran Ming said: "It's not for the purpose of running a newspaper. Someone is the ambassador of the Great Wei Dynasty to Jin Dynasty, and he still needs to go to Jiankang for business."

"That's fine. Yingtai also wants to go, why don't we leave today!"

Then Zhu Yingtai whispered in Ran Ming's ear, and Ran Ming couldn't stop nodding, "Brother Yingtai's ingenious plan is enough to secure the world!"

"I am over-flattered!"

Then Ran Ming asked Liu Laozhi to bring a few followers back to Diao Mansion to tidy up and salute, while they headed north.

To the north of Qiantang is Wuxing City, which is also the current Huzhou City, when Ran Ming set foot on the border of Huzhou City.

Ran Ming left a letter to Diao Yi, and drifted away!

Lu Shi was so angry that his face turned pale. Ran Ming was forcing Lu to express his opinion!

Make a commitment as soon as possible, yes and war, this is a dilemma!

Lu Na looked at Ran Ming's letter and said, "Go and chase His Royal Highness King Jiaodong back and make a statement to him, hoping he can understand!"

Lu Shi couldn't help feeling dizzy when he heard this, forgive me, forgive me, my brother is talented and has excellent morals, but it's a pity that he is stupid in reading, who would spit out the fat in his mouth?

Some people say that pressure is the driving force for progress.

Under Ran Ming's invisible pressure, Lu always made up his mind, agreed to Ran Ming's request, and reconciled privately!
Ran Ming left Chen Ying in Qiantang City to hand over to Lu Cheng.

Although part of the property worth 15 gold was used as tribute to participate in the national trade between Wei and Jin, more of it was discounted in the form of grain, and Chen Ying asked someone to ship it back to Wei.

As for the [-] artisan households, they were concentrated in Dinghai City, which was originally resettled on Daheng Island.

This time Ran Ming can be said to be a white wolf with empty gloves.Originally, the state of Wei had no intention of paying tribute to the state of Jin. After all, the state of Wei was weak.

But after the conflict with Lu Qin, Ran Ming found that Lu Qin was too arrogant and arrogant.

Ran Ming decided to let the Lu family suffer a dull loss, and made up a list of tributes casually.The list was written by Du Cong, and the ceremony certificate was also forged on the spot.As for the tribute, it is even more nonsense.

Cut pieces of Sichuan brocade that Liu Wei carried along with him and Suzhou silk bought in Shangyu City, and threw all the old cloth and rotten clothes in the mansion on the carriage and burned them, pretending to be the scene of the tribute being burned!
Originally, Ran Ming didn't think of how much money he could extort from the Lu family, but he was just going to pretend to be pitiful in front of the Jin Dynasty emperor.

It's not that our Wei country doesn't understand etiquette, it's that the law and order in your Eastern Jin Dynasty is too poor.The tribute was burned by the bandits, and the tribute could not be paid!

As Ran Ming, who is familiar with historical trends, naturally knows that the emperors in Chinese history were very happy. In order to show their wealth and wealth, they usually gave back ten times, or even a hundred times, to the countries that came and went to pay tribute!
Unintentionally, Ran Ming hit him sideways.

Lu's position in the south of the Yangtze River was awkward, and he was afraid that Huan Wen would consider himself unlucky in order to make an example of others among the gentry and seek Lu's bad luck.In the end, he reluctantly accepted Ran Ming's condition of paying the tribute three times!The first batch is 30 gold plus silk, silk, and silk, a total of [-] bolts, and [-] shi of high-quality rice!

Ran Ming did not pay all these things to the Eastern Jin Dynasty, but halved and then halved, tribute ten thousand gold, three thousand bolts of silk, one thousand pieces of rice paper, eight hundred altars of mellow liquor (eight thousand catties), These things, packed into sixty or seventy carts, drove towards Jiankang City in a mighty way!
Ran Ming was dressed in Wei Guo's vassal uniform made in imitation of Han Dynasty, and was riding a big red horse!

Entering the main street, Ran Ming found that both sides of the street were nervous soldiers of the Jin army, and besides the soldiers of the Jin army, there were densely packed people.Bustling, and it's a growing trend!

Looking around, there are countless people crowded on both sides of the street, which can be described as tight!

Ran Ming was very surprised.

But he is not like Wei Jie, his mental quality is so poor that he is actually looked down upon!Ran Ming smiled faintly and waved to the people around him, causing countless people to scream!
The audience clicked their tongues in admiration: "Is this the famous young general Ran Ming? It seems that he is not very old, he is probably thirteen or fourteen years old?"

The good man said: "Back then, now that he is fourteen, he has a bit of Liu Yueshi's demeanor!"

Liu Yueshi, that is, Liu Kun, is also the biological father of Wei Guozhong Shuling and Zuo Shangshupu and Liu Qun!A famous patriotic poet in the Western Jin Dynasty.Writer, statesman, military strategist.In the last years of the Western Jin Dynasty, he fought against Zhu Hu alone in Jinyang for more than ten years.Liu Kun's extravagant and flamboyant chatter in his early years was a member of the "24 Friends" headed by the rich man Shi Chong.

However, because of Liu Kun's resistance to Hu, his reputation is very good among scholars.Even though he died for more than 30 years, he is still unforgettable!Because Liu Kun is an all-rounder in civil and military affairs (in fact, he is not), and his demeanor is praised by the world!
However, when someone compared Ran Ming and Liu Kun, some people were not happy, and retorted: "This statement is not good. Ran Ziyang's achievements are better than Liu Yueshi. He is all-round in civil and military affairs. He has never been defeated since he went to war. Tun Murong's 14 soldiers, How can Liu Yueshi be compared to Duan Kan, defeated Qin family, and retreated to Huanwen? What's more, at a young age, he wrote a poem that is a hero in life and a hero in death, which is even more Huo Huoqi's demeanor! "

This statement was immediately endorsed by countless people.

Someone said again: "In ancient times, there was Gan Luo who was 12 years old as prime minister, and now there is Ran Ziyang who is 13 years old as general, each leading the way, each leading the way..."

At this time, another human said: "It is widely rumored that Ran Ziyang's appearance is worse than Wei Jie's, but meeting is not as good as being famous!"

People in the Wei and Jin Dynasties all liked beautiful men.As for the beauty of a man, first, he must be tall, and second, his skin must be white.To describe them, it is either Yushan, Yuren or Yushu.

It is actually very difficult for a man to be white. Except for the natural Caucasian, the Han Chinese who agree with the aesthetic views of the Wei and Jin Dynasties must have a precondition that is sickness!Otherwise, if the body is not empty, the face will not be white!
But Ran Ming is different, his beauty belongs to that kind of masculine beauty, his complexion is not fair, but a healthy wheat color.Ran Ming is tall, but he is not the kind of skinny guy who will fall down when he blows it, but tall and strong!

At this moment, a girl with a light body and a graceful figure, with a blushing face, gave Ran Ming a fragrant sachet with a pair of small and delicate mandarin ducks on it.Ran Ming didn't know why, so he froze on the spot!

Zhu Yingtai, pretending to be Ran Ming's entourage, joked: "It is rumored that Wei Jie first arrived in Jiangdong in the past 50 years, attracting thousands of people to watch, and it was difficult to move. The sachets he received were full of a big cart! Today is the first one, just There will be a second person coming to see them off, Yingtai better leave Brother Ziyang, otherwise there will be people throwing fruit and sachets, it's too much."

Ran Ming was even more surprised, didn't they say that ancient women were conservative?Is it still so crazy?

Sure enough, just as Zhu Yingtai said, seeing Ran Ming catch a girl's sachet, another woman in yellow clothes stepped forward lightly, and the soldiers of the Jin army did not stop them, so the woman walked up to Ran Ming. Before Ming Ma, this woman was even more ingenious. She hung a pot of chrysanthemums with a sachet on it, and handed it to Ran Ming together with the pot.

Ran Ming looked at this woman, she was a typical Jiangnan beauty, with fair and tender skin, and a small bird.The woman's eyes are as hot as a wolf seeing a lamb.Ran Ming smiled at this bold beauty: "Thank you, little lady!"

After finishing speaking, Ran Ming handed the flower pot to Liu Mo.

The woman looked at Liu Mo beside Ran Ming, her hair was as black as lacquer, her skin as white as jade, and her eyes as stars. Under the sunlight, at first glance, she looked graceful and luxurious, unparalleled in beauty!

When the woman saw Liu Wei, she felt sad.

As Ran Ming gradually went away, the woman said loudly: "Such a talented man and a beautiful woman are a perfect match. Jiao has no regrets in this life!"

Despite being rejected by Ran Ming one after another, these overly enthusiastic Jiangnan beauties, like moths throwing themselves into the flames, followed without fear.Ran Ming was really embarrassed and miserable.

There are also many enthusiastic beauties who throw flowers and sachets directly on Ran Ming's head. In order to live up to the wishes of the beauties, Ran Ming will not refuse any comers.Busy and sweating profusely!
During the short journey of several miles, Ran Ming was very surprised. The sachets he accepted were actually filled with two cars, making the concierge courtyard full of fragrance!

"Finally, you don't have to be surrounded by people like monkeys!" After entering the concierge courtyard, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief. He felt that this trip was more tiring than fighting a battle!

Zhu Yingtai looked at Ran Ming's dejected look, and said with a smile: "Brother Ziyang, you don't have to, just get used to it, just get used to it!"

Liu Mo rolled his eyes and said to Ran Ming, "Husband, you see so many sachets, what should we do with them?"

Ran Ming said leisurely: "It's so sour, whose vinegar jar has been knocked over?"

Liu Mo was puzzled and said, "The smell of vinegar, why didn't I smell it!"

"I didn't smell it either!" Zhu Yingtai laughed and said, "Why did Brother Ziyang say that!"

Ran Ming slapped his forehead, secretly screaming that he made a mistake.The allusion of jealousy he knows is that Li Shimin in the Tang Dynasty wanted to give Fang Qiao and Fang Xuanling a beautiful concubine, but Fang's wife would rather die than die.Li Er asked someone to bring up a bowl of soup, saying it was poison, and he could drink it if he disagreed!In a fit of rage, Fang's wife picked it up and drank it.It turned out to be a bowl of vinegar.Therefore, people call jealousy jealous!
Ran Ming had no choice but to explain.Of course, in order to make up for this panic, Ran Ming changed the Tang Dynasty into a small country in the far west.Li Er changed from Tian Khan to the king outside the feudal domain!

Seeing Ran Ming's tired look, Liu Wei immediately asked the servant girl, My Lady, to prepare the bath water in a considerate manner!

Ran Ming rushed to Zhu Yingtai and said: "Brother Yingtai, I wonder if there are any acquaintances in Jiankang City?"

Zhu Yingtai nodded: "There are a few friends in Jiankang City. What's the matter, brother Ziyang?"

Ran Mingdao: "I once told my virtuous brother that if you want to open a newspaper, of course, you have to choose a house. The area can't be too small, at least more than a hundred rooms, as many as possible! Don't worry too much about the price, anyway, I am now Rich man!"

Ran Ming blackmailed the Lu family for a windfall. The food can be shipped back to Wei State, money, money worth [-] gold, and Ran Ming plans to use it as the start-up capital of the newspaper.
