Please ask me to be the emperor
Chapter 594 Old Friend
When Lu Weiqi, the former Minister of War in Nanjing, said goodbye to Zhang Shun, he returned home all the way.
Seeing that he was in a good mood, Mrs. Lu couldn't help but ask: "What's the matter, sir, so happy?"
"Nothing!" Lu Weiqi couldn't hide his pride and said, "Today the general was ignorant and unskilled and claimed to buy millions of grains. I scolded him and I lost all my face! Not only did he not dare to blame me, he also invited me Take responsibility for him."
"Then the master agreed?" Mrs. Lu asked strangely.
"How can that be possible? He is a thief and I am an official. How can an official appointed by the imperial court do anything for a thief?" Lu Weiqi laughed.
Mrs. Lu couldn't help but roll her eyes at him and said nothing. She thought to herself: You have been busy following King Shun for several months, winning over the village chiefs and village elders. Even your students secretly call you "The Dog with Broken Backbone" behind your back. Are you still proud of it?
After all, it was not easy for Mrs. Lu to expose his background during the couple's encounter, so they had to have a good laugh.
The couple were talking in the room when they suddenly heard a servant coming to report: "A man came outside the door, bringing with him seven or eight followers. He claimed to be the son of an old friend and came to ask for an audience. This is a greeting."
Lu Weiqi took a look at the post and frowned. Mrs. Lu saw that his face was not so good and she couldn't help but ask: "Who asked to see you and made you so embarrassed?"
Lu Weiqi smiled bitterly and said: "But it's Wang Qingzhi. I don't know what he is doing here if he doesn't stay well in Datong!"
When Mrs. Lu heard this, she couldn't help but have a headache. It turned out that this "Wang Qingzhi", whose name was Mu and whose courtesy name was Qingzhi, was a dandy. He was originally the grandson of Lu Weiqi's old friend Wang Duo.
Lu Weiqi had no choice but to take Mengjin Wangduo's face out of consideration, so he ordered someone to bring him in. Not long after, a thin young man with a pale face and light steps walked in.
Lu Weiqi opened his mouth and couldn't help scolding: "You bastard, why are you looking for me? I haven't seen you for many days, and the wine and sex haven't tortured you to death, so you are a good fortune teller!"
When Wang Qingzhi heard this, he couldn't help but salute Lu Weiqi with a smile, and said with a smile: "Grandpa Lu, stop scolding me. If I die in the next few days, you will suffer a lot!"
"What did I lose? Did I feel depressed because of the loss?" Lu Weiqi raised his eyebrows angrily.
"Grandpa Lu, I don't go to the Three Treasures Palace for anything. I don't come here to get scolded by you." Wang Qingzhi said with a smile, "I just have two things to do. One is what grandpa asked me to do, and the other is what I have done. My own thing."
"Tell me what your grandfather told me, and then get out!" Lu Weiqi was not polite to him at all. This person is the grandson of Wang Duo. Since Lu Weiqi had a close relationship with Wang Duo, he didn't treat him as an outsider at all. Teach him when he needs to be punished, scold him when he needs to be scolded, and never be polite to him.
Wang Qingzhi also knew Lu Weiqi's status and did not dare to neglect him. What's more, when he was too old to stir up trouble and offended the daughter of Zhizhou, it was thanks to this person's efforts that he escaped the disaster.
He couldn't help but smile and said: "What my grandpa entrusted me with is a happy event for our family. You sent someone to ask Uncle Lu's uncle to marry my aunt, and my grandpa has already agreed. From now on, our two families will just put it aside." , please take care of Grandpa Lu."
Lu Weiqi couldn't help but be overjoyed when he heard this. His son Lu Zhaolin was only sixteen years old, which was the age when men were getting married and women were getting married. He and Wang Duo were old friends, and Wang Duo's youngest daughter was both talented and beautiful, quite virtuous, and she was an ideal daughter-in-law. Therefore, he sent people to ask for marriage many times, but he never thought that he would get his wish today.
Lu Weiqi was so happy that he no longer kept a straight face and said with a smile: "In that case, please tell me about your own affairs. If it is a serious matter, I can help you."
Wang Qingzhi heard this and quickly signaled Lu Weiqi to retreat, and then said in a low voice: "To be honest with you, uncle, I used to have a lot of contacts with the Datong border army, but now I heard that the rebels in the city had a lot of money, so I brought two muskets with me. One hundred rods, one hundred thousand kilograms of gunpowder, a thousand rods of all kinds of fast guns and three-eyed blunderbuss, and thirty thousand shi of grain, come here to sell me."
Lu Weiqi couldn't help being horrified when he heard this, and couldn't help scolding in a low voice: "You are so brave. Selling ordnance and military rations privately is a capital crime! What's more, selling it to thieves, you are not afraid that the thieves will pick up these and take them for you. Will his life be lost?"
"How pedantic is Grandpa Lu? How can I do such a big thing on my own? Do you know that not to mention selling it to bandits? The North is robbing the East and the Tartars are engaged in a bloody feud. Isn't business still booming?"
"What do biological parents deserve? Money is their biological parents!"
"Shut up!" Lu Weiqi attaches great importance to filial piety. He himself is the author of "The Classic of Filial Piety" and has always advocated "ruling the country with filial piety". He is quite disgusted with Wang Qingzhi's remarks.
Wang Qingzhi couldn't help but curled his lips and argued: "They did it, but I can't say anything? It's not that I, Wang Qingzhi, am unfilial, why should Grandpa Lu get angry at me!"
Lu Weiqi felt tired of him and couldn't help but said coldly: "Stop talking nonsense and ask me for anything!"
"Nothing else. I just want Grandpa Lu to introduce me to King Shun. I want to discuss this business with him." Wang Qingzhi hurriedly bowed after hearing this.
Lu Weiqi felt that this matter was a disgrace to his family's reputation and did not want to help. He couldn't help but frowned and asked: "Nowadays, the rebels have a dedicated person in charge of selling food and grass. You only need to wait a few days and you can sell it directly, so why bother?"
"Grandpa Lu is not a businessman, so he doesn't know anything!" Wang Qingzhi laughed when he heard this, "Nowadays, there are more and more grain sellers, and there is only one place to buy grain. In my opinion, the price of grain will definitely fall day by day. If it cannot be done in time, Selling, but losing money.”
"What's more, selling to someone who can't make the decision is just a one-time deal. If you can meet King Shun and establish a relationship. This is a long-term deal, and it will definitely make you rich in the future."
Lu Weiqi frowned even more tightly and couldn't help but cursed: "What kind of long-term deal? Cutting off one's own flesh and blood to feed the enemy. This is the first time I have seen such a stupid thing. Be careful if you cut too much, you will cut yourself to death. Where?" What’s the long term?”
"Forget it, you still have to buy it. Instead of asking you to spend money to beg others, why don't I try it myself! It's just this once, and I won't do it next time!"
"Okay, okay, okay!" Wang Qingzhi couldn't help but be overjoyed. He was able to get online in one go. What else could he do to "not do it next time"?
When Lu Weiqi visited Zhang Shun again, Zhang Shun was muttering with Cao Wenzhao in the room, not knowing what to say.
After finally waiting for Cao Wenzhao to leave happily, Lu Weiqi stepped forward to talk about the matter.
Zhang Shun was wondering, Wang Qingzhi already knew him, so why did he entrust him to Lu Weiqi?
Originally, guns, gunpowder and food were all urgently needed by the rebels. How could Zhang Shun not respond? He quickly asked Wukong to invite Wang Qingzhi in for a detailed discussion.
