"I have heard about this matter. Although the method is open to discussion, severe cases require strong medicine, so I personally very much agree with your approach. You don't have to worry, I will give you some advice on the qualitative issue of the case.
Your Majesty, please give me some advice."
King Wu Zhou Di was easier to talk to than Jiang Fan imagined.
He actually agreed without any hesitation.
This caught Jiang Fan, who had prepared a lot of words, a bit off guard. Happiness came too suddenly, and sometimes it may not be a good thing.
"Ahem, thank you, Your Majesty. As long as this case can be determined, I believe those in the government will not dare to make too many small moves. It will also be convenient for me to continue sorting out and rectifying the security system of Heyang City.
"
Jiang Fan leaned forward and said.
"What you want to do is your business. Since I have pushed you to that position, I will naturally give you absolute trust. No matter what you want to do, I will definitely support you. But last time you came, you gave the palace
I sent a few jars of wine, but later asked the Qian family to put up a banner when selling wine, and used the palace's reputation to raise the price of the wine. Shouldn't I be rewarded for this?"
Zhou Di waved his hand, suddenly showed a cunning look on his face, and said.
"Don't worry, Your Majesty, I'll take care of how much wine the Prince will drink every month from now on."
Jiang Fan patted his chest and said.
"Nonsense! You should have taken care of it in the first place! Don't even think about using this little profit to get by with me!"
Zhou Di said angrily.
"What does the prince mean? Let me declare in advance that I have no money! As a city captain, I didn't make any money. On the contrary, I almost offended all the officials in the government office because of returning money to the merchants. So if the prince
If you want to ask for money from me, then I can only say that Your Majesty, you are overthinking."
Jiang Fan said with a vigilant look.
Such an appearance made Zhou Di feel angry and said angrily: "Why do I want money from you? He'er is right. You obviously have amazing talent, but you have such a philistine temperament! Don't you feel embarrassed!"
Jiang Fan curled his lips and said with a look of disdain: "My lord, you were born in an emperor's family. Since you were a child, you have been well-dressed and well-fed. Of course you don't care about money. But ordinary people like us can't live without money. In today's world,
It’s not shameful to sell one’s dignity for money, but it’s shameful not to be able to sell it for a good price.”
"you!"
Zhou Di gritted his teeth and decided not to be familiar with Jiang Fan.
Although it is not wrong to say that you like money, in fact, it is impossible for anyone in this world not to like money.
But the problem is, such a philistine look appeared on Jiang Fan's face, which made Zhou Di feel awkward.
Don’t those talented scholars always regard money as dirt?
What about being proud and proud? What about being indifferent to fame and fortune?
Such a money-grubbing look should appear on the faces of the Qian family, right?
Jiang Fan ignored Zhou Di's depression at all and asked curiously: "Since the prince is not asking me for money, what benefits do you want from me? Don't worry, prince, just say it, as long as we don't talk about money, we will
We are still good friends!”
Seeing Jiang Fan patting his chest in reassurance, Zhou Di had the urge to punch Jiang Fan to death.
Taking a deep breath, he said bitterly: "A month later, the Prairie Golden Horde will send a team to Heyang as an envoy. On this mission, a wise man who is trusted by the Prairie Khan King will follow. No.
If something unexpected happens, this wise man will definitely pose a corresponding challenge to us. I ask you to defeat him! No matter what the method of challenge is!"
What?
Jiang Fan's eyes widened and he said in astonishment: "My lord, listen to what you are saying? No matter what the method of challenge is? What if someone chooses me who doesn't know how to challenge it at all?"
"That's your problem. I don't care about the process, only the results! The relationship between the Prairie Golden Account and our Great Zhou Dynasty has always been tense. Over the years, His Majesty has repeatedly used troops against the east, resulting in a shortage of troops in the treasury. The Prairie Golden Account took the opportunity to frequently
Offensive and plundering! I am stationed in Heyang just to resist the endless incursions of the Golden Horde!"
"And this method of sending envoys to interact is an opportunity for me, the Great Zhou Dynasty, and the Prairie Golden Account to show their strength once a year! We have been losing for two consecutive years, resulting in the scale of the prairie border raids at the end of each autumn.
The momentum is huge, and His Majesty is very dissatisfied with it, so no matter what the Prairie Golden Account wants to compete with this time, it cannot continue to lose under any circumstances!"
Zhou Di said in an unquestionable tone.
"Your Highness? Are you being too unreasonable?"
Jiang Fan was speechless.
"Aha?"
Zhou Di opened his mouth, as if he had heard some ridiculous remarks.
Jiang Fan's mind twitched and he subconsciously answered: "Mother...Mother?"
"What kind of lady! What nonsense are you talking about! But your last sentence is right. I am just unreasonable. What can you do?"
Zhou Di straightened his face and put on an attitude of not being stingy.
Well...you are the boss, you have the final say, okay?
Jiang Fan rolled his eyes and surrendered.
Zhou Di nodded with satisfaction and continued: "You will be in charge of the reception then. The city guard should have been in charge, but Gu Yanzhi, although tough internally, is too weak externally.
If he were responsible for the reception, he would probably lose the majesty of our great Zhou Dynasty."
"You are really rude. What else is there? Just tell me straight away. Give me a good time and don't cut my flesh with a dull knife."
Jiang Fan said helplessly.
"Don't pretend to be pitiful here. You have only been a city captain for a few days. How much trouble have you made? If I don't talk about anything else, just your performance in the past few days, I know that you will continue to cause trouble in the future, and
This disaster will definitely get bigger and bigger! When the time comes, don’t you have to have me take care of you? Get out of here! I’ll get annoyed when I see you! Pay more attention to the reception. If something goes wrong, let’s see how I deal with you!
"
After Zhou Di finished speaking, he stood up and walked away.
Jiang Fan couldn't help but be stunned, seeing Zhou Di seriously leaving the main hall, and he was filled with admiration for a moment.
It's okay, my brother... he runs so grandly when he's running around?
You are as thick-skinned as a city wall!
"Ahem, Brother Jiang, you don't have to worry about the government affairs. My father will give you any support you want. As long as it is within the scope allowed by Zhou Lu, Brother Jiang can fully display his ambitions. My father and I
The king is looking forward to it and wants to see what changes will happen to Heyang City under Brother Jiang's governance."
Zhou He coughed twice and changed the topic.
Jiang Fan gave him a look full of contempt, waved his hand, and led Lin Wanqing out of Prince Wu's Mansion without taking away a trace of cloud.
