If you want to win over Yiji Leye, who claims to be God's chosen one, you can't do it overnight by cheating. Chen Ke has long been prepared for a protracted war. He came this time to express himself
The other party did not deny the intention on the spot, but agreed on a date to continue the talks. This means that there is something going on, and the purpose of this visit has been achieved.
As for when to sign the contract, there is only a long time to come, so there is no hurry. He also has plenty of time. Even if it takes ten, or even twenty years, to sign the final contract with them, it will be worthwhile.
Chen Ke firmly believed that this investment would not go wrong, and he was not worried about the poor quality of these ancient Jews in future generations - because historical research in later generations found that the economies of the Jin and Yuan dynasties were managed by a group of talented people.
Its financial, taxation, and trade departments are full of dedicated people. This is also an important reason why the country established by two barbarians has made great achievements in the economy.
What is the most expensive thing in the eleventh century? Talent! The most sophisticated economic talents of this era are around you. If you hold them firmly, you and your children and grandchildren will benefit endlessly.

After Chen Ke left, Lan Bi and Li Wei fell into hard thinking.
A tribe that has been in exile for thousands of years has been able to stay together not only because of their solid beliefs, but also because of its strict organization. Their core are 'Rabbi' and 'Levi', and the Han people of Lanbi and Levi are
The name is obviously transliterated from this.
Rabbi is a teacher, and Levi means patriarch. Levi is often a highly respected person elected by the tribe and is responsible for the daily affairs of the tribe. Rabbi is passed down from teacher to teacher. When the Romans destroyed the Temple in Jerusalem, the Jews dispersed.
After traveling to various places, scholars who were proficient in the scriptures took on the task of teaching the tribesmen to learn Jewish scriptures, and presided over religious affairs. They became the spiritual leaders of the tribes and were respected as 'rabbis'.
One of the two is a secular leader, and the other is a spiritual leader. Logically speaking, the rabbi is the most noble authority, but Levy's opinion cannot be ignored. This kind of decision related to the fate of the tribe must be reached by consensus between the two.
.
Li Wei found that Lan Bi, who used to be calm and conservative in the past, seemed a little excited today. He seemed to be really impressed by the boy named Chen. But he was just the opposite. He felt that the boy was too overestimating his abilities and was just talking nonsense and making no sense.
.As a Yishi Leye who was born in the Song Dynasty and grew up in Bianjing, he is very satisfied with his current living situation. How could he allow his life to be turned into a mess by a madman?
After listening to Li Wei's words of dissuasion, Lan Bi closed his eyes slightly and said: "This unusual young man has completely captured my soul. I can't help but wonder whether he is a messenger of God, coming to guide us.
These lost lambs. Until it is proven that I have been deceived, I cannot stop myself from believing in them. That would be disloyal to the faith, and more likely, ignore God’s grace.”
As soon as Lan Bi rose to the religious level, Li Wei had no choice but to do anything. But he still insisted that he could not hastily leave the fate of the entire clan to a lunatic, as that would be irresponsible to the clan.
Lanbi was also unable to refute Li Wei's words, and the situation fell into a stalemate.
Of course, Chen Ke had no way of knowing all this. Even if he knew, he would have no time to take care of it, because he was assassinated on his way home...
At that time, the two people were riding in a carriage and walking in a quiet alley. The attack came suddenly - several powerful crossbows were fired from the roof facing the street, killing the horses on the spot and the carriage was also shot into a honeycomb.
After a while, a man in black appeared at the scene. He opened the car curtain and saw a big hand covering his face. The next moment, he was pulled into the car.
After a pause, the sound of the crossbow sounded again, hitting the wall of the carriage and making a sound of metal hitting each other.
In the carriage, Chen Ke was stabbing Lao Qian, who was dressed as a coachman. Although the attack had just begun, Lao Qian got into the carriage and was still shot in the calf. Fortunately, the car had two layers of wood and one layer of iron.
The royal carriage protected the three of them from further harm.
"If you hadn't come to pick us up, Lao Qian," Chen Ke said gratefully while bandaging, "I'm afraid we wouldn't be able to escape this time."
"They are so arrogant." Old Qian said angrily, "How dare they use crossbows!"
"How much we want to die." Song Duanping sat the prisoner under his buttocks and sighed: "This guy was hired by them and doesn't know anything."
"Possessing a crossbow privately is considered a conspiracy, which is a serious crime against the Nine Clans." Lao Qian said: "Of course they won't show their faces." He paused and said, "Listen, stop, they are probably evacuated."
After a while, the alley was illuminated by torches. The patrolmen in charge of this section rushed to the scene. When they saw the carriage that had been shot into a hedgehog, the patrolmen were shocked. They immediately blocked the scene and reported it to Kaifeng Mansion.
.
Not long after, the Kaifeng Prefecture's chief came to investigate. The chief knew Lao Qian and asked in surprise: "Could he be the young master?"
Lao Qian shook his head and said, "He is from Chen Guan."
"Oh." The catcher nodded and asked them to come to the mansion to make a record the next day and then let him go home to rest.
Early the next morning, Chen Ke discovered that a group of guards from the Imperial City Division appeared in his courtyard again. The leader was Li Yuhou Li Zhong.
After spending the past few months together, Chen Ke had already managed to keep these guys in submission. He rubbed his sleepy eyes and said, "Why are you here again?"
"My lord was attacked last night, and the opponent used a crossbow. This is a big case. This morning, Bao Longtu reported it to the officials." Li Yuhou said with a bitter smile: "After the court, the officials scolded our father-in-law.
." The gentle official actually used 'scold', obviously very angry. "We were sent here again..."
"Ashamed." Chen Ke blushed slightly, clasped his fists towards the palace sincerely and said, "I've made the officials worry so much, I'm so sorry." After saying that, he glanced at Li Zhong and said, "How are you feeling now?"
"Excited for joy." Li Zhong beamed, and the guards nodded vigorously. Chen Ke was generous and generous. After working with him for a few months, the rewards the guards received were higher than their harvest in a year.
"Huh?" Chen Ke said with a face: "I was almost killed, and you are so happy?"
"It's extremely painful." Li Zhong quickly changed his words: "Oh no, it's sad and happy at the same time." Feeling that nothing he could say was right, he could only say with a bitter face: "Sir, you know..."
"Hahaha, I'm teasing you!" Chen Ke laughed loudly: "I'll go to the Fourth Brother later and get fifty guan, and the brothers will pay for the beer."
"Thank you for the reward, sir!" The guards were very happy. It was a great pleasure to work for Chen Sanlang...
"But don't just drink flower wine and stare at me." Chen Ke said solemnly: "The safety of our family depends on you."
"Your Majesty, don't you trust us?" Li Zhong promised, "We will protect your family according to the standards of escort."
"Well, very good." Chen Ke nodded and said, "After dinner, I will go to Kaifeng Mansion. You can make arrangements."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
In the morning, the governor of Kaifeng signed the pledge for the house.
Chen Ke told the secretary what happened last night, while Bao Zheng was listening.
After finishing the transcript, Bao Zheng asked the secretary to step aside and then asked Chen Ke, "Do you know who attacked you?"
"I don't know, I can only guess." Chen Ke said.
"How did you guess that?"
"It is said that the remnants of the Beggar Clan have issued a death order, but I think this is just a smoke bomb." Chen Ke said slowly: "The attackers this time are well-armed and come and go like the wind. Their high quality is definitely not those of those
You can't compare to a naughty person." After a pause, he asked Bao Zheng: "Could it be the assassin they hired?"
"Do you think this is the Tang Dynasty or the Five Dynasties?" Bao Zheng shook his head and smiled: "In the Song Dynasty, how could there be such an assassin organization?"
"That is?"
"It's either a member of the military or a dead soldier raised by someone else." Bao Zheng muttered: "The most difficult to check are the two types of unidentified students."
"I believe Bao Qingtian will be able to discern everything clearly." Chen Ke said half-truthfully.
"What Bao Qingtian? Don't mess with me..." Bao Zheng laughed and scolded: "I will find out the truth." After changing the topic, Zhuang Zuo casually said: "Sanlang, I heard that the Runan Palace lost hundreds of thousands.
Guan's family wealth, do you know about this?"
"I've heard of it," Chen Ke said with a smile: "But it's probably the old prince's unscrupulous sons who are bragging. Who doesn't know that their family has a large population, and it's good if they can barely maintain their expenses. Where can they get hundreds of thousands of coins?"
?”
"This makes sense." Bao Zheng twisted his beard and said, "But it may not be without reason. To be honest, I suspect that they have an affair with Wuyou Cave." Bao Zheng has been in office for several months, even though the Beggars Gang has been
Although he was trying to eliminate it, he still checked a large number of files related to it and found that there was obviously a protective umbrella that had been protecting this underground gang.
In Bao Zheng's view, the battle is not over yet... Although the Beggar Clan has fallen, its protective umbrella is still there. If it is not caught and cut off, the underground waterways of Bianjing will soon harbor filth and evil, and a second wave of evil will appear.
The two worry-free caves threaten the lives and property of the people in the capital.
"Sanlang, tell me," Bao Zheng stared at Chen Ke with lightning eyes. In Chen Ke's mind, at this moment, his image finally overlapped with Bao Heizi: "Is a certain prince from the Wang family in Runan County originally with
Does Wuyou Cave have anything to do with it?”
"So what if I say yes," Chen Ke said with a bitter smile, "I have no evidence."
"I will look for the evidence." Bao Zheng stared at Chen Ke and said slowly and forcefully: "You just need to tell me whether those hundreds of thousands of coins exist."
Chen Ke's mind was spinning, and he suddenly realized that although his previous pretentiousness had deceived Zhao Zongchu, it had attracted Bao Zheng's attention. In front of Bao Zheng, who was very aware of the situation, those methods seemed a bit obvious...
