Chapter 386: Who Says I Don't Eat
As Xu Qing said, he is still very accurate in judging people.
After Liu Zheng withdrew, only Xu Qing and Zhao Guozheng were left in the room.
Envoy Zhao Guozheng looked at Xu Qing and said, "I don't know how the County Uncle Anding will manage his business?"
Xu Qing was also looking at Envoy Zhao Guozheng: "Emissary Lu Zheng said just now that he is not interested in being an official and seeking money."
Zhao Guozheng said: "I am not interested in being an official and seeking money, but I am very interested in getting promoted and making a fortune."
Being an official is not the same as being promoted, and asking for money is not the same as getting rich, there is nothing wrong with it.
Xu Qing looked at Lu Zhengshi and said: "In terms of writing and Taoism, Zhao State lost to Chu State this time. Lu Zhengshi, as the envoy of the mission, may not be able to shirk his responsibility? I'm afraid he will not be a degraded and fined man at that time." end."
Lu Zheng envoy said: "The failure of the competition this time, I really have the responsibility that cannot be shirked, I wonder what advice the county uncle of Anding has?"
Xu Qing said: "My business has caused Lu Zhengshi to rise instead of down. Is Lu Zhengshi interested?"
Lu Zhengshi asked: "What do you need me to do?"
Xu Qing said: "Don't let Zhou and Zhao form an alliance."
Lu Zheng made the veins on his forehead twitch: "Isn't Bomo of Anding County just entertaining me?"
Lu Zhengshi has no choice but to be angry. If the envoy loses to Chu State in Wendou, he will be degraded and punished. According to the opinion of this An Ding county uncle, let him disturb the alliance between Huang Zhou and Zhao. He is so lacking. Careful?
Xu Qing said sincerely: "Since it's a business, we must always benefit from each other. We in Chu State can't lose money in this business, isn't that the reason?"
Lu Zhengshi said with a blank expression: "I don't know what is the benefit of breaking the trend of Zhou and Zhao's alliance?"
If it weren't for the box of special products, he really wanted to drive Xu Qing out!
Xu Qing said: "If the alliance between Zhou Guo and Zhao Guo is completely completed, then Lu Zhengshi's mission this time is really a failure. After all, he lost the competition and lost 80,000 taels... Maybe, More than 80,000 taels..."
Hearing this, Lu Zheng made his belly tremble uncontrollably, and quibbled: "Eighty thousand taels is eighty thousand taels, I don't understand what you're talking about..."
Xu Qing said very frankly: "It's traditional...everyone understands it, and there are no outsiders here."
Seeing that Lu Zhengshi was silent, Xu Qing continued: "If Zhao Guowen wins the battle against Chu, tens of thousands of taels will be nothing to Zhao Guo. The foreign race in the southwest has 200,000 taels, but by coincidence, you lost."
When Lu Zheng heard this, the veins on his forehead almost stood up again. Why did you lose? Wasn't it because of you, Uncle Anding?
If you don't make a move, won't there be nothing?
Lu Zhengshi held back the anger in his heart and asked, "So, what advice does Uncle Anding have?"
Xu Qing said: "The alliance between Zhou State and Zhao State has nothing to do with Lu Zhengshi from the beginning to the end, but if Zhou State and Zhao State do not form an alliance, then the benefits that our Chu State gives to Zhao State have something to do with Lu Zhengshi."
When Lu Zhengshi heard this, he immediately understood that as long as the alliance between Zhou Guo and Zhao Guo failed, Chu State would in turn contact Zhao Guo through him, and maybe even keep Zhao Guo on hold with certain benefits.
With this merit, even if he does not get promoted, his merits and demerits will be offset by his merits.
However, Lu Zhengshi really didn't understand what benefits Chu could offer, money? Isn't this something that is generally lacking for the disaster-prone Chu State last year?
If it weren't for Chu's lack of military spending and internal emptiness, would Zhou dare to ally with Zhao to attack Chu?
Can you drink the toilet water produced by the State Chamber of Commerce as wine?
Moreover, Zhao Guo is not short of money at all, and Chu's little money may not be able to impress Zhao Guo.
Lu Zhengshi looked at Xu Qing and said: "I don't know what benefits your country can give to our country to make our country fall in love? If I turn a deaf ear to His Majesty's offer of your country, then my official promotion and fortune will be a dream come true."
Xu Qing said: "In ten years, if your country is invaded by an enemy country, we can send troops for free to help your country defeat the enemy army. Your country will not have to bear the military expenses of our army and will not be responsible for our army. What does envoy Lu think?"
Lu Zhengshi fell silent immediately when he heard this. This condition is really attractive. Sending troops for free to help them defeat the enemy. Everyone knows the strength of the Martial Dao of Chu State. If Zhao State was protected by Chu State for ten years, That is to say, within ten years, the State of Zhao will not be afraid of any neighboring countries, including the State of Zhou and the foreign race that spends hundreds of thousands of taels a year to support them.
Lu Zheng said: "This is only ten years of stability, but the alliance with Zhou may be a long-term plan, and I may not be tempted by Your Majesty."
If we can unite with Zhou State to take down one state and two states of Chu State, it can indeed be regarded as a century-old plan to expand the territory.
Xu Qing said: "Does Lu Zhengshi feel that Zhou Guo is sincerely forming an alliance, or is he using Zhao Guo as a spear?"
Lu Zhengshi frowned and said, "What's the meaning of this?"
Xu Qing said: "As far as I know, Zhou Guo has not promised your country any benefits until now, and Zhou Guo has always had a strong and superior attitude in the alliance trend. Are they sincere and equal in alliance or do they want to divide your country into an alliance?" As a vassal state of their Zhou State?"
After Lu Zhengshi heard Xu Qing's words, he couldn't help but think of the disdainful eyes of Deputy Envoy Zhou Guo yesterday...
Is Zhou Guo really sincerely forming an alliance with Zhao Guo?
Lu Zheng said: "I will consider it."
Xu Qing stood up and said: "Think carefully, my lord. I believe that your country will definitely not ally with Zhou Guo, and the condition just now is just one of the benefits that my great Chu can give to your country. It is a promotion for Lu Zheng. There is another One condition can help Lu Zhengshi get rich and stay for another time. Farewell."
After finishing speaking, Xu Qing stood up and walked out.
Long Binger, who was waiting outside the door, looked at the confident Xu Qing, and asked in surprise, "You succeeded?"
Xu Qing said: "It's so easy to lobby? And how can you expose all the bargaining chips at once? Today, we are making sweet and sour short ribs at home for lunch. Would you like to come and eat with us?"
Long Binger snorted softly: "Childish..."
Xu Qing looked at Long Bing'er and said: "If you don't eat, you have to give it to me, right? I came all the way to give gifts to Zhao Guo..."
Long Binger walked forward with Xu Qing, Tsundere said: "Who says I won't eat."
...
Zhao Guozheng looked at Xu Qing who had already left, and then looked at the big box, did he get rich soon after opening it? Where is the next condition needed?
Many members of the mission had seen this box, and it was equivalent to a national gift from Chu State to Zhao State. He couldn't take all of it, otherwise it would be corruption and bribery.
But this does not prevent him from secretly taking a little when no one is around.
Just now, when the two men carried them in, they didn't feel the slightest heaviness, unlike gold and silver.
Could it be antique calligraphy and painting?
Such a big box of antiques?
Wouldn't it be more valuable?
Thinking of this, Zhao Guozheng opened it with great anticipation, that's called being careful not to damage the antique...
After opening the box, Lu Zhengshi's eyes widened immediately:
What the hell are these? !
Toilet water?
peanut candy?
Even if it's outrageous, how about this? !
