Seeing Li Jie stuffing a "heart shield" into his jacket, Shang Xiaomei knew that her husband was going out.
"Go to the Shise to inquire about some things."
The "embassies" of various countries in Biyang City are all concentrated in Beicheng, which is very close to Zi Yubao's home in Biyang. This is mainly for the convenience of envoys from big countries who can come over at any time to protest and spray. Small countries just get sprayed and beaten.
.
"A gentleman should be more cautious. Rangers have been around these days, and there may be assassins."
"A man of great skill is bold!"
Mr. Li showed off his biceps, and the little wife became shy at that time. She almost did it yesterday, but just a little bit.
If Li Jie hadn't fallen asleep, he would have fucked her!
After leaving the private courtyard given to Li Jie by Yubao, Li Jie took the "crocodile man" directly to the "envoys" of Wu State. There were not many high-level envoys in the local area, and most of them were part-time.
Their main job is to do business, and they are responsible for the export trade of Wu State. Then there is earning foreign exchange. For example, if Qin State has a lot of money, in Xianyang City, they can trade in the horse market and buy good "Yaochi horses".
Yaochi horses were trophies obtained by the Qin State after its expedition to the Yaochi tribes. They were extremely hard currency.
Ordinary silk cannot be traded. The horse market does not recognize anything else, but only the country's big money.
Because the managers of the horse market were all barbarians who knelt down to the King of Qin, their personal needs came second.
The first priority is the king’s needs!
Manzi himself hopes to have as much silk and satin as possible, but if the king doesn’t want it, there is nothing he can do. So he still settles for big money.
Coins are exchanged frequently on the market, and there are also privately minted coins, but you will know whether the quality is good or not. In the end, direct trade is refreshing, easy and not annoying.
It's just that trafficking big money is a troublesome thing. Fortunately, because of the development of international trade, countries like Biyang are like transit stations.
Certain financial services...are still available.
There is no ticket, but there is a "Jade Mirror". With the "Jade Mirror", you can conduct cash operations with the same financial service provider in both places.
Deposits and withdrawals are possible, but a certain handling fee is required.
The Biyang Kingdom has not been destroyed for so long. In addition to holding on to two thick legs, it also has some internal strength. At least the Biyang Kingdom is not poor. At critical moments, it can pay to bribe the ministers of various countries to extend its life.
It’s not like Wu is the only country with such a weird thing as Dazai Ziqi, there are more or less other countries.
Because trade is developed, most of the "envoys" of Biyang Kingdom are responsible for import and export trade, and diplomatic matters are actually just one sentence: Our king said...
Anyone who says otherwise is not a hegemonic power. Dingtian is just a small regional power.
The scale of Wu State's "envoy" was relatively large, because its main function was not for office work, but for storing high value-added commodities such as silk, lacquerware, pottery, bronzeware, etc.
The people who come to Wu State as "envoys" are not necessarily official figures. They can also be private businessmen, or even ordinary people from Biyang State. They can come to buy things. As long as they are willing to pay, everything will be easy.
Hello everyone, this is really good.
"Gentlemen, the tough guy is here!"
Originally, the daily life of Wu's "envoy" was quite gentle. After Li Jie came, the gentle daily life turned into a thrilling adventure.
How long has it been since the king ordered the fierce man and the handsome man of Yinxiang, Li Jie, to kill the little man No. 100? The mentality of "Walkers" in various countries has completely exploded, but there are some who can't kill Li Jie, so there are thugs to take advantage of these "honest people"
The "duty" businessman vented his anger.
It's fine to grab goods and money, but to pick up a dagger and stab you while you're not paying attention is to be wronged and panicked.
I thought that Li Jie would restrain himself, but instead, this savage leader got even more aggressive, repeatedly slapping the faces of other countries without saying anything, and swaggering around all day long, openly saying that anyone who dared not assassinate him was a waste, a coward, and a loser!
When the "Walkers" of the Wu Kingdom heard these words, they were really... happy!
But it's cool to be happy, but it's also scary to be afraid.
They are not animals like Li Jie. It is not common sense to be brave and not afraid of death, okay?!
"Ah?! The tough guy is here again?!"
"Quick, quick, bring out... bring out the mutton, and the soup! Is there any fish?"
"Yes, yes!"
"Macho man loves fish, bring the fish over!"
Li Jie held his hands behind his back and swaggered with the "crocodile man" walking on the street. The people of Biyang City who passed by greeted him one after another.
“Where are the macho men going?”
"I haven't eaten yet, so I went to Shi Xie to have a meal."
"How about coming to my house and eating?"
"Thank you very much. The king's orders are on my side, so please don't disturb me..."
"A strong man is loyal to his duties. He can be called a loyal minister and an example."
"How shameless!"
Then the people of Biyangcheng learned another idiom, which is called "You can't bear to be ashamed".
You see how humble the strong man is. He is obviously a loyal minister and has earned so much face for the King of Wu, but he still says humbly, "I don't deserve it."
This is moral character! This is integrity!
Noble, so noble!
"There is a virtuous man in the wilderness of Wu."
The people of Biyang Kingdom have a very high opinion of Township Chief Li. Since Township Chief Li is so humble and "too ashamed to deserve it", then the people of Biyang Kingdom should also praise him twice.
There are talented people in the field... ordinary people cannot use them.
However, Township Chief Li was very calm: Yes, you are right, you are talking about me, please say more.
There are Biyang officials who work diligently and admire Mayor Li's "wholeheartedly serving the public" style. They are envious of this noble sentiment, but because of the difficult life, they cannot be as cool and unrestrained as Mayor Li.
.
So, I can only sing and express my feelings.
"Hey, little star, I'm in the east every three to five days. I'm going to march in the evening, I'm in public all day and night..."
When I arrived at the gate of Wu Kingdom's "Envoy House", I heard the nearby officials singing to relieve their boredom.
When Li Jie heard this, he nodded repeatedly: Yes, you are right, you are talking about me, please say more!
As soon as you enter the door, you can smell the aroma of fennel from Qin, cinnamon from Chu, ginger from Wu, and pepper from Shu. They are all hard currency.
Of course, Mayor Li didn't smell the aroma because he was eating the condiments.
But to eat local mutton.
"Hey, are you ready to eat?"
"How dare you, how dare you, I knew the tough guy was coming, so I was specially prepared. I have a little wine, so I hope the tough guy won't be surprised."
"Easy to say!"
Li Jie quickly took his seat. It was a real seat. It was a high chair that was a specialty of Yin Township. Shang Wuji had people transport it from Huai County to Biyang Country to sell it.
There is some leftover, of course for personal use.
"What are you doing standing there in a daze?! Let's all sit down and eat together!"
"How dare you..."
"How dare you, I told you to sit down!"
"Yes, yes, don't blame the tough guy!"
A group of "walkers" hurriedly took their seats, and the servants hurriedly arranged table tables for them, and served some meat, wine, and food, and then both parties were at peace with each other.
The lamb chops are cooked directly in the cauldron, and they taste quite good. I grabbed one and started to chew on it.
Seeing how happy Li Jie was, the "Walkers" also started eating freely.
While he was eating, he heard that Li Jie completely ignored the "no words when eating and no words when sleeping" and directly asked: "Is there someone plotting to besiege Wu?"
puff--
Cough cough, cough cough, cough cough cough...
The whole scene was so chaotic and dirty that the "Walkers" felt like their lungs were about to be coughed out. It was so exciting!
