In the newly built Guanyi in Xinzheng, in addition to the traditional "fire tunnel" for heating, the area around the stove sent by Huaizhong City has also become the best area for officials to work.
It's just that Zheng Chengzi's staff and guests in the hotel are not busy with their work at this time.
"Bump! Gojo."
"Three loaves."
"East wind."
"Seven."
"Bump! Twenty thousand..."
There are crowds of people, the stove is warm, and there are two or three circles around the mahjong table. It is quite comfortable to take a bath after the winter. It's just that during the holidays before, I didn't want to come out. Now I have a holiday, so I rush to the work to sit for a while.
The public stove is not a pain to use.
There is also mahjong, a set of ivory given by Wu Guomanzi, which was brought home by Zheng Chengzi. The current set is made of sapphire, which is worthless sapphire.
Some of the original big customers of Xinzheng's Boxi Restaurant simply stopped going to show their support. In the winter, business in many restaurants was bleak.
"Second Son, tea has arrived!"
"Drink tea, drink tea, drink tea..."
There was tea in the ceramic teacups, and the spectators were holding the teacups one by one, leaning on each other to watch the card game.
The rules of mahjong are very simple, and it is extremely easy to get started. It only becomes more lively when there are more people playing, and officials are not just there to win money.
Of course, the main reason is to win money.
"How come there's another twenty thousand...twenty thousand."
One person played another twenty thousand card, then picked up the tea cup on the table, holding it with both hands without drinking, he put his head together and looked around, "You guys think that this "King Wei's Suicide Note" is really 'teaching without distinction'
'Meritocracy'?"
"Is this even false?! Kujo."
"It's just... it's unbelievable. Using the art of war, Wu Guoman... Wu Jie was invincible with this method. He defeated Song, Cai, Chu, Zheng... Hey, what a nonsense!"
Bang! This person was overjoyed and said, "Yeah, yeah!"
"Hey! Three consecutive blows, brother is very lucky."
"Isn't this a little bit of Jiang Yinzi's wealth?"
"..."
"..."
Seeing his expression, everyone admired him. Just now he almost blurted out "Wu Guobarbarian", but now he speaks so nicely, it's incredible.
However, a group of officials are also pondering this matter. It is not yet clear what the condition of "King Wei's Posthumous Letter" is. They only released a few sentences, saying it is the general outline, which makes people confused and itchy.
"Is it possible that the second and third sons have never heard about Chen Guo?"
"Chen Guo? How about Chen Guo?"
"I heard that Chen Guoman's family went south with their people and built a small city northwest of Huaizhong City. I am afraid that the Chen people will live in Huaizhong for a long time..."
"Chen Guo's 'Peach Blossom Fairy' seems to have fallen into Wu Jie's hands?"
This was said in an extremely frivolous way, but it also meant something profound.
Everyone immediately realized that Chen Guoren's actions must be related to this "Peach Blossom Fairy".
Now that the Manchu clan suddenly invites so many people to move south, saying that they want to hire a big construction site, who wouldn't think twice about it?
"The Jin people have been talking to Wu Jie a few days ago. I don't know what happened?"
"What else could it be? I am definitely here for 'Li Zi's Art of War'."
"What? Is there something wrong?"
"There are many people coming from the Wei family."
"It's natural. Originally, the 'Mutual Kings of Wu and Jin' were known all over the world. Unexpectedly, things are unpredictable. The young master has been killed by assassins, and now Wu and Jin have formed an alliance... Haha."
Friendship between major countries has always been made of plastic. Sometimes it is not even plastic, it is just air, pretending that there is such a thing as "friendship".
"Wei Cao was also struggling to cope with the situation in the Jin Kingdom. The ministers continued to criticize, and Wei Cao was unable to resist." After one person said this, he added, "Qin, Jin, and Yan Qi have actually proclaimed themselves kings internally for a long time, but they are just looking for opportunities to make it public.
Becoming the king is like Wu Chu. Jin's fortunes are slightly different."
The luck of the Jin State was so bad. Although it is still unclear who tricked Wu and Jin into forming an alliance, the results were extremely good for all the countries.
If a southeastern hegemon and a northern hegemon form an alliance, this kind of pressure will be unprecedented for other countries.
I wish that Jin and Wu would be finished soon. Every prince has such a strong wish.
If King Wu Wei had not fought an astonishing battle before his death, which directly defeated those potential opponents who were ready to make a move, few neighboring countries would have dared to provoke war for at least three to five years.
As for whether to support the rebellion of the Yue survivors, that is definitely an obvious matter, but it is relatively expensive to do. There are only a handful of countries that can travel across the entire Wu territory and provide assistance to the Yue survivors.
Many times, it is often the survivors of the Yue Kingdom abroad who take the initiative to find caring NGOs in the world. For example, the little rabbits of the Yue Kingdom are so cute, why do the Wu people braise them in soy sauce?
Then we must criticize the Wu people for being cruel and inhumane.
It's a pity that during the Chinese New Year, everyone sat down together and blasted Wu Guo during the cat winter, which was an easy thing to do to bring them closer together.
However, in this winter in Xinzheng, there are so many gaming tools that people can’t help but become addicted to them.
I can’t afford ivory mahjong, nor can I afford sapphire mahjong. It doesn’t matter. Isn’t there wood, bamboo or even ceramic mahjong?
I really feel that the feel of fired ceramics is a bit poor. For example, the surface is uneven, and the sizes are inconsistent. It doesn’t matter at all. You can wrap a layer of bamboo slices outside the ceramic. There is always a way to make it look consistent in size and even in surface.
.
In addition to mahjong, Commissioner Li also brought dominoes.
There are quite a lot of people who recommend playing Pai Gow. In the capital of the Zheng Kingdom, where "the monarch is not at home today", no matter whether it is a minister or a countryman, it is enough to play lively. Why do you think so much?
Anyway, the king is not at home, so no one gave the order to ban fighting games.
The entertainment atmosphere in Zheng Guo is already strong, and it happens to be the least busy time of the year. After people gather, the fun is no longer bragging, the atmosphere is very lively, more lively than any other year, even in a few months
We were defeated in Cai Guo just now.
And the enemy arrogantly led his troops into the heart of Zheng.
At this moment, in the Jin guest house in Xinzheng, the Wei family's children were also looking solemn around the stove. They were not playing mahjong or playing Pai Gow, but... playing chess.
The ivory chess is not very exquisitely made, and the glyphs are written in "official script". The descendants of the Wei family of the Jin Dynasty still know this kind of writing.
If it were "Chinese characters", we would have to struggle for a long time.
However, this "official script" obviously has a strong Chen and Cai style, which does not conform to the daily habits of low-level officials in the Jin Dynasty.
"General!"
"Alas... Tou Zi Tou Zi."
"Ha ha ha ha……"
The loser was magnanimous and the winner was cheerful. Just as he was about to rearrange the plate, he saw a rush of footsteps outside, and a man came in and shouted breathlessly: "It's been negotiated! Xu land is sold to Jiang Yinzi!"
"ah?!
Bang!
When someone stood up, the chessboard was overturned. The Wei family's children were shocked, and then overjoyed.
"good!"
"color!"
"A heart disease is finally gone."
"Now every family in the country should have nothing to say!"
"What's the price?"
"I haven't revealed it yet, but I heard that there are 'Red Clouds', 'Zixiao' and honey. In addition, there are pearls and the like. It's very abundant!"
"Oh! Okay! Okay!"
"Hahahahaha...for such a happy event, I should open a jar of 'White Sand Brew'."
"Hurry and get the amber wine!"
"Go right now!"
The worries of the Jin people have indeed gone away. They were physically and mentally exhausted from being in Xu's hometown. The big flood in the summer really frightened the Jin people.
What the hell is this, do southerners live in this kind of hellish place?
The Jin people who came back alive told their fellow villagers what they had seen, and the Jin people suddenly felt horrified.
It was all such a bullshit place, but it was really amazing that the Wu people could survive.
Not to mention the frequent floods, there are actually large dragons and even leeches in the water, which are extremely fat.
Coupled with a large-scale plague, it makes people feel that the two sides of the Huai River cannot be suppressed without strong men.
Only if you have a hard life can you survive.
He was the old monster king of the Wu Kingdom before, and now it is the turn of the Jiangyin beast. These two are obviously very suitable to dominate the wild animal paradise. In the Central Plains, it depends on whether their Shanxi millet is fragrant or not.
"In this case, the young master should also breathe a sigh of relief."
"I just don't know how much the Xu land is worth. What will happen if the Zhao family and the Han family refuse to give up?"
"What should we do? Oh, if you don't comply, just let the Zhao family and the Han family go to Xu to garrison."
"Hahahaha...what you say makes sense, what you say makes sense."
After hearing about "Chixia" and "Zixiao", the children of the Wei family felt that the matter had been settled. Even if every family in the country opposed it for the sake of opposition, they would not just watch "Chixia" and "Zixiao"
Slip away from your hands.
You must know that the most flamboyant "Zixiao" on the market now was Princess Yeyue of Qin State, and then it disappeared.
It's a good thing that I haven't seen it, but many people have seen that purple dress, which is so bright under the sun. This kind of quality and grade will definitely be quite sexy on the road to hell after death.
As long as there really is a "Purple Sky", the descendants of the Wei family will dare to conclude that the Han family, the Zhao family, the Zhi family, etc. will not risk losing the "Purple Sky" to specifically oppose the Wei family.
the outcome of the negotiations.
The haze since the failure of "Wu Jin Mutual King" has indeed been swept away.
