Qin Huaidao stopped at the top of the stairs, turned around, looked at Li Tai calmly and asked, "What advice does King Wei have?"
"There may be some misunderstandings between us. How about we talk about it alone?"
There is a saying in negotiation that this is called the concept of secret exchange.
If Qin Huaidao agrees to talk alone, then everything he said before will become angry words, impulsive actions, misunderstandings, and misunderstandings and prejudices against King Wei. However, King Wei will not care about it and becomes a generous person. As long as he is alone,
After getting along for a while, even if they don't talk about anything, it will become clear that Qin Huaidao is wrong.
After all, the King of Wei was a member of the royal family. He lowered his stance and explained, and invited a private interview to resolve the grievances. If he did not talk about it, it would also appear that Qin Huaidao was not sincere and narrow-minded.
Someone else might have tolerated it and given King Wei face.
Unfortunately, he met Qin Huaidao. Every bone in his body was hard. He didn't like being forced. He said coldly: "King Wei, I don't know if there is any misunderstanding between you and me. I just want to tell you when I come here."
Just say, don't reach out, otherwise you won't be able to bear the consequences."
These words deny the misunderstanding, state the purpose of the visit, and unabashedly warn and threaten!
This is already a crime, but so what? There is no such thing as being punished for words during the Zhenguan Year. Even if there is, don't be afraid. There are ways to resolve it. How can a good man compromise?
After saying that, Qin Huaidao stopped wasting time and walked away.
Only a group of people were left waiting in shock.
Especially King Li Tai of Wei, who has been loved, coaxed, respected, and feared by others since he was a child. Even His Majesty was reluctant to say a harsh word, but he was threatened on the spot. He couldn't react for a while, and his face turned red for a while.
Bai, trembling with anger.
After a while, King Li Tai of Wei became so angry that he kicked the desk in front of him several times and shouted out of control: "Shuzi, I and you are incompatible with each other!"
These words were detrimental to his identity and would have a very bad impact if spread, but King Wei just wanted to say it, wanted to vent, and wanted to curse.
The people who accompanied him had never seen King Wei be so out of control, like an emotionally out-of-control lion, but he didn't have the courage to show his fangs to his opponent. He was completely different from the gentle, kind, benevolent and kind-hearted person he used to be. Everyone's eyes flickered, and they didn't know what they were thinking about.
.
Qin Huaidao went downstairs, took the horse sent by the boy and left slowly, not caring that he had offended King Wei this time, he was just a prince with no real power. Others thought that King Wei was favored by Li Er and even went beyond the law.
Qin Huaidao didn't care about pampering politely, being able to ascend to great treasures, sitting in the court, and all kinds of fawning and fawning?
It was lunch time, Qin Huaidao returned to his house, and He'er greeted him enthusiastically and said: "Young Master, I knew you would come back for dinner, and I have already cooked your favorite food. By the way, someone from the imperial court has brought a new official."
I have surrendered, sued myself and got tokens, etc., has the young master been promoted again?"
"No, we just changed the yamen. Are you hungry? Let's eat first." Qin Huaidao said with a smile.
After the meal, Qin Huaidao saw the official uniform and reported himself. The token was an iron plate with the word "supervision" on it. The official uniform was a round-neck robe, common to officials in the Tang Dynasty. It was made of fine linen with dark flowers.
The collar, cuffs, and placket are decorated with edges, and a horizontal pleat is added to the hem of the round-neck shirt near the knees, so it is also called a "quilt shirt."
The clothes are a bit loose, the sleeves are bigger, there are pockets inside to hide things, there is a belt, it is very uncomfortable to wear, it feels like wearing a skirt, there is also a two-beam Jinxian crown, a futou, which is a soft scarf, and a pair of linen cloth
The boots made look very complicated.
This is also the reason why Qin Huaidao came up with the stand-collar Mao tunic suit. Women in round-collar robes are elegant and elegant, like little fairies. The men's clothes are not bad-looking, but the key is inconvenient, especially when fighting, the restraints are too great. Qin Huaidao will wear the token
He picked it up and warned: "Put away your official uniform and don't wait for me to have dinner tonight."
"Young master, do you want to go back to Qinjiazhuang?"
"Not tonight, tidy up the room."
"Here!"
Qin Huaidao went out again. This time he did not ride a horse. He walked to a small shop near a pier in Dongshi and sat down. Through the window, he could see the situation outside the pier. The waiter in the shop came up enthusiastically. He saw that Qin Huaidao was very impressive, but he was not dressed in the same clothes as before.
I saw it, thought it was a foreign race, and asked: "What does the guest need?"
"A pot of hot water and two plates of dried fruits will suffice." Qin Huaidao replied. The tea is boiled and cannot be drunk. The wine is too turbid to be ingested. He can only drink some water and eat some dried fruits. He is busy thinking.
Get rid of the wine as soon as possible after these few days. There is nothing delicious to eat or fun to play. The days are too boring.
Not long after, the shop boy brought the things.
Qin Huaidao ate calmly while observing the dock outside the window. A group of baggage carriers were waiting for work. There were some large ships in the distance, two of which were also red. He was not sure which one belonged to Cui Shihai.
Not long after, a ship carrying grain came over, but the bag bearers didn't dare to go up to take the job. Instead, a weak young man came up swaggeringly, swaying as he walked, as if he was drunk. He got off the ship and chatted with the other person.
Give the other party some money.
The weak young man waved, and a group of strong men emerged from nowhere. They rushed onto the grain ship to unload the goods one by one. Those waiting at the dock could only watch. Qin Huaidao summoned the boy, threw a few copper coins to the other party, and whispered
Asked: "What's going on at the dock over there?"
"It's the Red Ship Club who are unloading the cargo."
"There's no one at the dock next to it. Why did the boatman ask the Red Boat Club to unload the cargo?"
"Why are you asking about this?" The waiter became alert.
Qin Huaidao explained: "I can't help but inquire. I also have some food and want to find a dock to unload it. Why don't I come over here to avoid any trouble?"
The waiter in the shop immediately relaxed his vigilance and said with a smile: "Well, then, you'd better find a red ship to unload the goods, otherwise the ship will sink into the river for no reason. The price is the same anyway, so being friendly doesn't make you rich."
"Well, since the money is the same, why not go to those people at the dock?"
"The Red Boat Club is responsible for maintaining the safety of the pier, taking jobs, and manpower is responsible for unloading the goods. The Red Boat Club takes a commission from it. This is the case for all docks in the entire Dong City. Those on the dock can only do casual jobs."
"I see. I want to discuss business with someone from the Red Boat Club. Where should I go?"
"Go out and go to the right. There is a big boat at the corner. Just look for them."
Qin Huaidao got the clues he wanted, checked out and left.
Not far after I went out and walked to the right, I saw a large ship with a red hull. It was fixed to the boulders on the river bank with thick cables. A path to the ship was paved with wooden planks. There were several strong men guarding the entrance.
There were also many people on the deck, all of whom were watching their surroundings warily.
"Stop, what are you doing?" A man stepped forward and raised his hand to signal to stop.
"Of course I'm here to discuss business. Why, you're not welcome?" Qin Huaidao asked back. It would be best if he could sneak in and see Cui Shihai without doing anything.
Seeing that Qin Huaidao was alone, these guards didn't care. No one dared to come to the Red Boat Club alone to cause trouble. One of them asked: "What's your name? What business are you talking about?"
"The surname is Qin. Naturally, we are talking about the unloading business. Do you want to pick up the ten large ships of grain? If not, change the dock to unload."
