Yu Junjie has been doing business with his father since he was a child, traveling around the world and seeing a lot of things. Basic social activities such as drinking are certainly not a problem, but today, he finally understands the difference between a businessman and a martial artist.
When businessmen drink, they pay attention to friendship, connections and interests.
When a martial artist drinks, what he pays attention to is pleasure, generosity and loyalty.
These are two different things.
Therefore, Yu Junjie, who thought he had a good drinking capacity, was knocked down by Niu Gao on the spot and fell unconscious on the table. Ma Qiao had not yet taken action.
Of course, drunkards are bound to sin, especially in this environment, there is almost no suspense about this, it can even be said to be a law.
Only Niu Gao and Ma Qiao were completely sober. Niu Gao had drunk a lot with Ma Qiao before and knew the strength of this guy. He came to hide as soon as he saw Ma Qiao. After taking care of Yu Junjie, he escaped.
Smart man!
The unwise ones all lie down.
After Yu Junjie was carried back to the room, he vomited three or four times and slept again. Then he woke up and ate instant noodles casually all night. A servant suddenly came to report that Li Qi asked him to come over. This was not allowed.
Indifferent, Yu Junjie hurried out.
Arriving at the tent, Li Qi and Zhao Jingyan were sitting inside.
When Li Qi saw Yu Junjie's pale face, he chuckled in his heart and motioned for him to sit next to him. Anyway, the military advisor would definitely not sit next to him. After he sat down, he said with concern: "Junjie, I heard that you
I drank too much at noon, I'm really sorry, those fools are so ignorant."
Yu Junjie hurriedly said: "It's the common people's poor drinking capacity that has disappointed the generals."
Li Qi chuckled: "How is it? Are you sober now?"
Yu Junjie nodded and said: "Thanks to your concern, the common people are no longer in trouble."
"That's good, that's good."
Li Qi nodded and said directly: "I called you here. Actually, I want to ask you for help with something."
Yu Junjie said with sincerity and fear: "Your Majesty, you are serious in your words. It is an honor for ordinary people to be able to do things for you. If you have anything to do, just ask me."
It is true that there are people in the court who can do things easily! Their Yu family is getting help from Li Qi secretly. Their business is growing by leaps and bounds, and their financial resources are increasing. This also proves the truth that cooperation between government and business is king. Moreover, Li Qi is still the number one in the court.
As long as Yu Junjie's brain is not broken, he will never give up on this big tree.
"Yeah?"
"Every word from the grassroots people speaks from the bottom of their hearts."
Li Qi smiled with satisfaction and said: "Actually, it's not a big deal. I just want you to send a birthday gift to Luo Hu on my behalf."
When Yu Junjie heard this, it turned out that this matter was too simple. Why should Li Qi personally give the order? It would be enough to send someone to tell him. But then he thought about it, yes, for such a simple matter, why did the Privy Council have to do it in person?
Let me tell you, and he is a privy minister, and others usually give him gifts. How can he have any reason to give gifts to others?
He thought that this matter might not be that simple, so he tried to say: "The Privy Council has orders, and the common people should obey them. But Luo Hu is just a chief. By doing this, the Privy Council is a bit lowering himself."
It seems that this boy has really sobered up. Li Qi smiled slightly and said: "What you said makes sense, so be it. I will prepare this generous gift and send it in your name."
There must be something fishy! How could Yu Junjie dare to agree so easily? He then asked, "I wonder what kind of gift the Privy Council intends to give to Luo Hu?"
Li Qi pointed his fingers and said: "The five hundred barrels are unparalleled in the world."
"This---so much?"
Yu Junjie opened his mouth, "This is unparalleled in the world. It's not that expensive. What's the concept of five hundred barrels?"
Li Qi sighed and said: "There are thousands of Luohu people, and they are strong and powerful. Even these five hundred barrels are too few for me."
Speaking of this, anyone who is not stupid knows that this matter is not simple. Yu Junjie was scared to death, but he still mustered up the courage to say: "I am afraid that the Privy Council does not just want to give this generous gift to Luo Hu
Bar."
"smart people!"
Li Qi laughed and raised his hand.
Yu Junjie immediately came over, but there were already dense beads of sweat on his forehead.
After he listened to Li Qi's words, he saw big beads of sweat dripping down, and his legs began to tremble unconsciously. He really wished that he hadn't woken up yet, and that this was just a drunken dream, although
It's a nightmare, but it's better than cruel reality.
Although Li Qi had finished speaking, Yu Junjie remained motionless.
Zhao Jingyan sipped the tea quietly and smiled slightly. She was not looking down on Yu Junjie. Any ordinary person would feel scared after receiving this task. This is human nature.
Li Qi glanced out of the corner of his eye, twirling the tea cup with one hand and said, "Junjie."
Yu Junjie was slightly startled and said: "Privy Envoy, please speak."
Li Qidao: "If it were anyone else, I would definitely have forced him to go with lies and threats, but given our relationship, I don't think it's necessary. If you want to say whether this mission is dangerous, it definitely is, and I don't think so.
I don’t want to hide it from you, but you have to understand that behind dangers there are always opportunities. This favor is very big, it is a favor from the emperor. If you can achieve this great contribution, who else dares to do this in this three-acre land?
Provoke you. Of course, if you really don’t want to, I won’t force you to go.”
Zhao Jingyan suddenly said: "Mr. Yu, in fact, the danger on this trip is not very big. Let's think about the worst. Even if you are noticed by Luo Hu, I think he won't dare to touch you because he has to worry about the Privy Council.
It is a very difficult choice to offend the first person in the dynasty. Luo Hu will never take this step until the last step. If he really finds out, I guess he will definitely keep you safe and sound.
Send it back to the Privy Councilor, because in this way, he can not only show his strength, but also give face to the Privy Councilor. What will he gain by killing you?"
She and Li Qi, plus Zhao Kai and Qin Hui, are probably the best deceivers in the world. Their words all have one characteristic, that is, they are very tempting.
Yu Junjie's heart was beating, but there was still fear in his heart, and he said: "Master Zhao's words are reasonable, but Luo Hu's tribe is very powerful in this generation. Of course I am not afraid that the Privy Council is here today, but the Privy Council is not
I may always stay here. Once the Privy Council leaves, no matter whether it is successful or not, I am afraid that his people will take revenge on my Yu family."
Zhao Jingyan frowned and said: "Privy Councilor, this is really a problem. Tribes like them are very united. Unless you exterminate the tribe, otherwise, this is what you plan to do with Luo Hu's thousands of troops."
Li Qidao: "Of course I will support someone to go up. As for who it is, I have to find out who in their tribe is at odds with Luo Hu." Apparently he had already thought about it.
Yu Junjie said: "There is such a person."
"who?"
"That's Luo Hu's younger brother, Luo Long." Yu Junjie said: "When Luo Hu's father died, the two brothers wanted to compete for the position of the patriarch, but Luo Hu had the last laugh, and Luo Long was unwilling to take the back seat.
.So he left Baihu Village with his own troops and went to Yunling Gang a hundred miles away to the east. He changed its name to Yunlong Gang and took over the mountain as king. It is said that Luo Long has always been unconvinced by his elder brother and hopes to regain the clan leader.
One, but it is a pity that Luo Hu has continued to expand his power over the years. The gap in strength has become wider and wider."
Zhao Jingyan said thoughtfully: "If you are right, this Luo Long is indeed a good candidate."
Li Qi pondered for a moment without saying anything, and then said to Yu Junjie: "I can tell you in advance that from now on, there is only one person who has the final say here, and that is the emperor. The law will rule this area. If
You are just worried about being retaliated by others. I can tell you clearly. Your worries are completely unnecessary, because the imperial court will never allow the phenomenon of self-proclaimed king in the Song Dynasty. It won't take long.
, the imperial court will open a commerce bureau here to manage the economy here, and then I will let you work in the commerce bureau."
Nowadays, the Commerce Bureau is the end of life for businessmen. As a businessman, there is only one possible way to become an official. The temptation is too great.
Yu Junjie was completely tempted. He thought, with the Privy Council supporting me, who dares to touch me? Maybe my Yu family can become the first family in Yizhou. If you give it a try, the bicycle will turn into a motorcycle. He cupped his fists and said: "Grass people
It turned out to be a complete mess of your heart and mind."
Li Qi smiled and said: "It's not that serious. I just need to borrow your name. My people will take care of the rest. You don't have to worry about anything then."
"yes."
Li Qi told Yu Junjie the entire plan again, and after the two parties discussed it, Yu Junjie left.
After Yu Junjie left, Zhao Jingyan said, "I'll go to Luo Long."
Li Qi shook his head and said: "This is too risky. Let Niu Gao go. Don't look at that guy who looks like a reckless man, but his mind is spinning faster than anyone else."
Zhao Jingyan said: "I have not denied General Niu's talents, but Yue Fei and the others are not with you at this time, and Yang Zaixing has to lead troops to attack Baihu Village. If even Niu Gao is sent, who will go to Yizhou with you?
.I have done even the most risky things, and there is no danger in them. Whether I can convince Luo Long or not, let’s not talk about it for now. I believe that as long as Luo Long is not stupid, he will not dare to touch your privy envoy’s military advisor.”
Li Qi frowned, pondered for a while, then shook his head and said, "Let me think about this matter again."
"This is such a small thing, what's there to think about? Even if it's life-threatening, losing Niu Gao is a loss for my Song Dynasty. Losing me is just that the emperor loses a less obedient cousin. I don't think so.
That's it." A self-deprecating smile appeared on Zhao Jingyan's lips.
Li Qi said angrily: "Who is in charge here?"
Zhao Jingyan said: "You asked me to be a military advisor. If you don't even have a little trust, then did you ask me to help the goddess doctor grow coffee beans?"
Li Qi rolled his eyes and asked helplessly: "Do you really want to go?"
Zhao Jingyan smiled confidently and said, "You can actually think of this as giving some credit to me as a military advisor, so that I can serve the public as a matter of course."
"So sure? At present, we have very little information about Luo Long."
Zhao Jingyan smiled lightly and said: "Everyone has his price. This is what you said. Take a step back and say, I am here to help Luo Long, not to harm him."
Li Qi saw that Zhao Jingyan insisted on going, and he was very confident in Zhao Jingyan's ability. After thinking about it, he nodded and said: "Okay, I will ask Ma Qiao to accompany you. This is an order. If you don't want to,
I won’t go.”
Zhao Jingyan smiled, cupped her hands and said, "I will obey my orders."
Li Qidao: "If this sentence comes from your heart, then I will definitely not be able to sleep tonight."
……．
The next day.
Li Qi held a meeting regarding the attack on Baihu Village. Except for Ma Qiao, an upright man who felt that this approach was shameful, Niu Gao and others believed that using Mongolian sweat medicine was the best strategy. After a day of discussion, the battle was concluded
The plan was finalized, and Yang Zaixing led 3,000 soldiers and horses, and disguised 300 of them as Yu Junjie's servants delivering gifts, and sneaked into Baihu Village. When the time came, they should cooperate with each other to win Baihu Village.
After the battle plan was finalized, Li Qi said to Niu Gao: "Niu Gao, you immediately send people to inform the tribal leaders in Yi and Qin two states that the economic envoys have been ordered by the emperor to come here to inspect, and they must be here.
Arrive at Yizhou on the 21st of the month."
Although he is not an economic envoy, people here probably don't know the news yet.
"Yes." Niu Gao cupped his fists and suddenly said: "Next month is the 21st? Isn't Luo Hu's fortieth birthday on the 20th?"
Li Qi nodded and said: "Yes, I just want to see whether I have more face or Luo Hu's."
Niu Gao asked again: "Should we inform Luo Hu?"
"What did you say? Of course!"
Yang Zaixing asked curiously: "But if Luo Hu leaves, what will happen to our plan?"
Li Qi chuckled: "If Luo Hu is so obedient, or if I have such a great intimidation here, then why should I kill him? No, I still have to kill him, but at least I won't kill him so quickly."
