Even if a hegemonic country doesn't attach much importance to a certain field, its heritage cannot be compared with that of small countries.
Because of the character of the monarch, Wu State paid very little attention to diplomatic work. However, even if it did not pay attention to it, Wu State's "envoys" system was still relatively developed.
Among them, couriers in the two series of "Qi Chuan" and "Zhou Chuan" often play the role of correspondents in "embassies" stationed in various countries. When necessary, they are also investigators, assassins, spies, escorts, auxiliaries... in short, what
Can do a little bit.
When Li Jie was thinking about returning to his hometown in Yinxiang to have a good rest, the courier boy holding the "Riding Legend" talisman delivered the express mail from Suzhou to Biyang City.
When he opened the courier sent from Gusu, Li Jie was confused. It turned out to be the "Meng Da Shuai" talisman made specially for Li Jie by the King of Wu.
Turn over the table!
"Isn't this thing made of gold? Hey, it's really made of gold. Take it."
Mayor Li initially disliked it, but when he took a closer look at the talisman on the dragon head, he found that it was made of gold and was very well made. Why not accept it?
The talisman can be divided into two parts, with "King Ming" written on the left and "Meng Da Shuai" written on the right.
All in all, it feels a bit bad, but psychologically it feels a little better.
"Gentleman, your Majesty actually ordered this gentleman to envoy Donglai?!"
"Aren't I going to be disciplined and force myself to have sex now?"
With that said, Li Jie put the "Walker" symbol on the table with a "pop" sound. It was copper and not very valuable.
"..."
Shang Xiaomei was speechless. Of course she knew that her husband was angry because he was not allowed to go home during the Chinese New Year and had to work overtime. If such an unit did not provide overtime pay, the boss would have been fired long ago.
But the problem is that the boss does give you good overtime pay!
Gou Chen was probably afraid that Li Jie would be unable to defeat him with two fists, so he gave Li Jie a sum of money to recruit brave men on the spot to form an envoy to Lai.
The cost of recruitment will be borne by the State of Wu.
When "Qi Chuan" reached Biyang, he explained the cost to Li Jie. In short, as long as the number of people did not exceed 10,000, Li Jie could do whatever he wanted.
This is a huge sum of money!
Normally, you wouldn’t have this kind of money. If Wu Guo fights a decisive battle with someone, it’s not like he randomly draws a small number, so what kind of money does it cost?
But there are many places in the Central Plains where it’s not fun to visit without paying.
After you pay for it, you can enjoy royal treatment. For example, having a Haitian soy sauce feast is nothing, it is a basic operation.
Of course, the main reason is that there are so many "guest soldiers" in the Central Plains that it takes the least effort to spend money.
In order to kill Yiyangjun Jixuan, the King of Wu planned to use about 5 million dysprosium funds. Not only would he kill him, he would also completely consolidate the Jiangbei territory and strive to become an advance base for re-entering the Central Plains within ten years.
Now that the situation has changed, King Wu doesn't mind spending four million dollars to make people happy. As long as things can be done, money is not a problem, and happiness is not a problem either.
And because the "Qi Chuan" who came this time seemed to have the shadow of a man named "Brother Jie", Li Jie understood at that time that this was a big boss, and he wanted to work hard again.
So, Li Jie said, if there are not enough people to send envoys to Lai, let's send 10,000 people first.
The colleagues of "Shi Xie" were confused on the spot, thinking that the king said that the upper limit was 10,000 people, so you came with 10,000 people. Your appearance is a bit bad.
However, Li Jie said that I have been acting as a "strong commander" all my life, so why do I need to say more to you? Could it be that I am recruiting 10,000 people on the surface but only 5,000 in reality, so I will talk nonsense to others casually?
As for the remaining 5,000, of course Dazai Zi will help out and do some hard work. Maybe they can be recruited when Mr. Li comes back from Lai Country?
"Li Jun, I'm afraid recruiting five thousand brave men is too much."
"Who said I would recruit five thousand? I will recruit three hundred."
"..."
Biyangzi was confused at that time, thinking that your Wu country is so rich? The share of 4 million dysprosium, the quota of 10,000 people, just recruit 300?!
There is a reason why Township Chief Li did this. If he wants to go to Lai, he will definitely have to deal with the "envoy" of Lai. Dazaizi set the quota of 5,000, and he will keep 300 of the remaining 5,000.
The rest will be divided among the Wu colleagues.
Of course, "Xiaojie" came over with news from Gusu, saying that the two doctors, the Jia brothers, admired macho men very much. You should remember these macho men.
Li Jie wanted to say, "Brother Jie, don't do this." But when he thought about two doctors jumping out to criticize Li, what was this? This was extending a hand of revolutionary friendship, so he had to continue.
Then the two thousand quotas belong to the two officials of the Jia family, and the remaining three thousand quotas, except for three hundred for myself, the two thousand seven hundred are the welfare of the "envoys" leaders in various countries along the way.
After dividing the fruit and fruit, you have to sit in rows.
The "Mighty Marshal" is so fierce, he must sit in the front row, right? If the "envoys" from various countries along the way do not give face, they will not slap the face of the "Mighty Marshal", but Dazai Ziqi, the two officials of the Jia family, and the palace
"Brother Jie" is the face of "Walkers" from all over the world.
The most important thing that makes Li Jie so generous is actually just one: Can four million dysprosium be used as cash? It must not be!
Where does the advance payment come from? When Mr. Li was the foreman, he usually regarded the advance payment as 70% of the actual receipts. This way, the expectations were very low and the mentality would be better.
As for those with high expectations, it will take three to five years to get out of debt after one trip, and heart disease and high blood pressure will all appear.
Perhaps Wu King Gouchen will not default on this money, but if King Wu Gouchen does not survive next year, the new king may use it. I am very sad now, and the money will be paid off after I calm down!
Some people would take it seriously, but Mayor Li would not take it seriously.
Once when Foreman Li was still working as Foreman Li, Foreman Li went to collect debts as a creditor and experienced the situation of the other party killing three aunts and six wives for five consecutive years!
Looking back, I can vividly remember it, my hair stood on end, my chrysanthemums trembled slightly, my heart stopped...
For those old men who are in arrears with their final payment, their relatives, friends and even blood relatives are in a state of "Schrödinger's death".
When you collect debts, everyone starts queuing up for funeral; when you say goodbye, everyone starts queuing up for resurrection...
So King Gouchen of Wu offered a sky-high price of four million for dysprosium, but Li Jie was a fart. Even if he wanted to take the money, Dazaizi would have to take the lead in order to succeed.
As for himself, if he goes to Lai as an envoy smoothly, fulfills King Wu's request, and returns home safely, that would be perfect.
"Gentleman, when the king ordered you to envoy Laiguo, didn't he also ask Qizhuan to deliver a secret letter?"
"I haven't read the secret letter yet. You can't let me go on a mission to Lai and have to charge into battle."
"..."
After twisting the wax seal and shaking out the silk cloth, Shang Xiaomei looked at Li Jie speechlessly, and then at the curious Xiangzi Yubao.
Yubao, who was very discerning, said quickly: "I still have something to do, so I will come back to bother Li Jun tomorrow."
"I'll see you off."
"Li Jun stays, state affairs come first."
After saying that, Yubao trotted away. He knew very well that it was definitely not a good thing to make the "Yunyanshi" girl stop talking.
"Gentleman... let's take a look."
"Okay, okay, bring it to me to see."
Li Jie took the silk cloth, looked at it for a while, and then said, "I can't read."
He handed it back to Shang Xiaomei. Shang Xiaomei put the silk away and looked at Li Jie with complex eyes: "The king said that Lord Yiyang wants to seize the country's land, and he hopes that you will destroy Lord Yiyang's plans in advance."
"Is it still too late for me to tell the people at the 'Shiji' to recruit another 5,000 people?"
