Chapter 92 Start Negotiations
This time, Rida Muzi came out, in addition to returning the money, he also had the task of visiting other Qiang tribes. According to her Abi's request, he visited a wise Qiang tribe. The wise man happened to live in Jiangyou territory. This time she came out to pay the money back, and Lu Haoshan asked about the situation in Hutou Village during the meal, and talked about some details about letting her tribe members participate in the recruitment of the new army. After drinking and eating, Rida Muzi politely rejected Lu Haoshan's invitation to play for a few more days and said goodbye.
From ancient times to the present, money is not omnipotent, but it is absolutely impossible to have no money. A penny can stump a hero, and a clever woman can cook without rice. Lu Haoshan admires himself a little. One hundred taels of silver in his hands can be said to have done three things: he obtained the good relationship between Yuan San and Rida Muzi, and used this amount of silver to attract Rida Muzi to take action, taught the village hero a lesson in public, and achieved a perfect record for his downfall and reconstruction.
No, I had already given fifty taels before, but in fact I could do so many things with fifty taels. Thinking of this, Lu Haoshan smiled a little proudly.
"Brother Shan, you smile so thornyly. You can't be so kind toward that girl Yun'er. This kind of Qiang woman is very good, but Brother Shan, you have a good vision. That girl Yun'er looks like a fairy. I dare not look at her directly. It's good to let her be a sister-in-law. You're so afraid that she will run away after cooking raw rice. Otherwise, I'll help you get some aphrodisiacs. Then she will untire her clothes and take the initiative to throw herself into her arms. Hehe..." As Lu Haoshan's loyal little brother, Liu Jinzhu can be said to do his best.
Since the eldest brother falls in love with a beautiful woman, he naturally needs to give him advice and make sense of advice.
Domineering bows hard? Lu Haoshan felt a sensation in his heart, but when he thought of Rida Muzi easily pulled the two-stone strong bow for a full month, he was so scared that his body trembled. He offended this female "man" and made her angry. Maybe he tore himself into both sides at once. The hatchet on the waist of Ada Er is not for decoration. There is a knife on the head of the word "sex". Forget it, it's better to forget it. Life is important.
"What are you saying? Is Brother Shan such a person?" Lu Haoshan slapped Liu Jinzhu on the head and said angrily: "Your head is thinking about these unpromising things every day. How about it? Seeing you laugh so happily, is that ancient inkstone trusted?"
Liu Jinzhu pointed to his chest and lowered his voice with excitement: "Brother Shan, the method you taught is really useful. First, he used Xiao En Xiao Hui to make the servant named Xiao An trust me, and then used silver to corrode him step by step, and finally dragged him into the water. Just now, he gave me the ancient inkstone and I also gave him three hundred taels of silver. I guess he has left the city now."
Which servant Lu Haoshan doesn't care? The important result is enough to get the things. He heard this and asked quickly: "Close the door and take it to me."
"Yes, Brother Shan." Liu Jinzhu went to close the door first, then carefully took out a black ancient inkstone from his arms and gently placed it on Lu Haoshan's hand.
This is a dark inkstone, with fine texture and a moist feeling in hand. Lu Haoshan rarely contacts it and knows that this is a high-quality inkstone with exquisite sculptures on it. The carved marks below show that it is from the palace. Perhaps it is this mark that doubles the value of this ancient inkstone with high-quality and exquisite carvings, because in the eyes of many people, this ancient inkstone is covered with so-called nobleness.
For Lu Haoshan, things are only practical. There is no need to pursue luxury goods. As long as a person has talent in his belly, even if he is ordinary inkstone, he can write articles of flowers. If a person is a fool, he can't write any amazing words even with the inkstone used by the emperor. He just needs to spend only a few pens and inks. However, this ancient inkstone is very important to Lu Haoshan, because this ancient inkstone is the stepping stone to open the door of Zhao Yuqing's house.
"Are you done it?" Lu Haoshan asked.'
"All have been arranged. The servant named Xiao An has prepared the horse in the morning. As soon as I handed it over to me, I immediately said to ask the doctor to see him. If there was no obstacle in the middle, I would be out of Jiangyou now. Besides, every time I put on makeup and wear a hat, I would still look for him. When I met, I would still cover it with a scarf. Even if the servant was caught, I would not recognize me." Liu Jinzhu said confidently.
Lu Haoshan nodded, enjoyed the ancient inkstone for a while, and then he put it in his arms with satisfaction. How much money had been spent? Lu Haoshan kept silent and doubted that he didn't use anyone. Liu Jinzhu was his brother and was very generous to him in terms of money. Liu Jinzhu had no need to do so.
"Okay, Jinzhu, prepare horses, let's go to Zhaojia Village now."
"So fast?"
"Not fast," Lu Haoshan shook his head and said, "The new army will be formed soon, and it will be even more unavailable. Besides, spring tea is about to come out, and people will be sent to purchase, inquire about information, clear channels, and open up links. These all require time. Prepare one day earlier and improve safety by one point. It is time to hurry up."
Liu Jinzhu nodded and said, "By the way, you can see the eldest lady of the Zhao family. I heard that she admires Brother Shan very much and always wants you to teach her Jiuzhang Arithmetic."
When I think of Zhao Min, who is like a jasper, I can't help but feel a very happy and warm feeling in my heart. I haven't seen this great beauty for some days. I smiled and said, "Okay."
After getting the ancient inkstone, the problem raised by Zhao Yuqing was solved. After passing the test, Lu Haoshan could discuss with him the matter of working in tea and horse business. He was in the ancient tea and horse road, which was to guard a mountain of gold and not get some money. He could not afford his own salary, not to mention the army, even Yuan San and others could not afford it. Besides, the new recruits were about to be formed. For Lu Haoshan, who was determined to form a cavalry, horses became the biggest dilemma at the moment, and the required silver and horses could be achieved through tea and horse transactions.
This is also the reason why Lu Haoshan is anxious.
About half an hour later, Lu Haoshan and his four men arrived in Zhaojia Village smoothly.
In addition to Liu Jinzhu, there were two yamen runners who protected Lu Haoshan's safety. When they arrived in Zhaojia Village, Lu Haoshan did not stop and walked straight to Zhao Yuqing's house. The servants guarding the gate recognized the person as the county magistrate and his master's distinguished guests. While opening the door to welcome him, they sent someone to fly to report the message. Soon, Zhao Yuqing, with the somewhat shy Zhao Min, quickly came out.
"The county magistrate is here, and it is so bright that it is so bright. Welcome." Zhao Yuqing welcomed him as soon as he saw Lu Haoshan.
Zhao Min, who was standing beside him, also bowed to Lu Haoshan and said, "The young woman greets the county magistrate."
"I dare not, this is not a court, so there is no need to be so polite. All these false gifts are exempted. Chief Zhao will ask for it, Miss Zhao will ask for it." Now it is a cooperative relationship, and it is necessary to borrow the channels and connections of the Zhao clan, so Lu Haoshan dare not take it.
After some politeness, two yamen runners were taken down to entertain him. The group came to the living room. Zhao Yuqing asked someone to serve fragrant tea. After Lu Haoshankou finished tea, he smiled and said, "The county magistrate came from afar. I wonder what the hell is to find Zhao?"
Zhao Yuqing did not make any more politeness, so Lu Haoshan just took out a wooden box and gently pushed it in front of Zhao Yuqing, and said with a smile: "I heard that the old patriarch Zhao likes to collect four treasures of the study. Lu accidentally got this ancient inkstone. Thanks to the old patriarch Zhao for his support to Lu, and specially sent it to the old patriarch Zhao. It was a little disrespectful thing, so please accept it with the old patriarch Zhao."
"Oh" Zhao Yuqing's eyebrows moved, and he picked up the wooden box and opened it gently. As soon as the box was opened, his eyes lit up: I saw an ancient inkstone with exquisite carvings, excellent texture, and a simplicity of ancient flavor. This is the ancient inkstone that he wanted but had not obtained. He had offered a few high prices but could not get it. He didn't expect that this small county magistrate got it so quickly. As expected, he couldn't underestimate him. Zhao Yuqing smiled slightly, closed the wooden box gently, and said happily: "The county magistrate is indeed the county magistrate. There is nothing that he can't get in Jiangyou territory. Zhao admires it, your gift is too thick."
There is something in this sentence, saying "there is nothing that cannot be obtained". Isn't this saying that I am bullied others? Maybe I imagine myself as having obtained this inkstone, and I force myself to put false charges on Zhou He, thus threatening him to hand over the ancient inkstone or snatch it away directly.
Lu Haoshan felt that he needed to justify his name.
He smiled indifferently at the two of them and said calmly: "The old patriarch Zhao's words are no longer authentic. Although Lu is the magistrate of Jiangyou County, he cannot do things that are angry and resentful. In fact, it is difficult for Lu to get this ancient inkstone, so he still depends on some luck."
"Oh, luck?"
"That's right" Lu Haoshan smiled and said, "This ancient inkstone is sold by a rich family on the roadside. It was accidentally obtained by Lu. It is definitely not a forced robbery. Please rest assured, the old patriarch Zhao. I remember that the old patriarch Zhao said that as long as you give you a satisfactory inkstone, we can negotiate a cooperative project. I wonder if the old patriarch Zhao has an impression?"
Zhao Yuqing gently stroked the wooden box and said with a smile: "Although Zhao is a little bit slight, he is always the same. In fact, the Zhao clan has long been waiting for the arrival of the county magistrate."
"Talk here?"
"We should discuss this kind of thing in the secret room. Sir, please come here."
Lu Haoshan smiled slightly, nodded and said, "I'm sorry, the old patriarch Zhao."
So, Lu Haoshan brought Liu Jinzhu and Zhao Yuqing to the secret room with him. In addition, two elders of the Zhao clan also joined the negotiations. The group of six people officially started the negotiations in a hidden secret roommate.
