surnamed Wang

Chapter 165 "Special Products"

There was nothing to say all the way, and the team of more than a hundred people finally arrived at Yanzhou Mansion after a half-day journey.

Yanzhou, at the earliest time, did not refer to a specific place, but an area, roughly located between Donglu and Beibei.

After the unification of the dynasty, the subdivided area, Yanzhou was included in the territory of Donglu, and was classified as a separate government, and a government office was established.

Although Yanzhou is a little-known small place now, but at the earliest time, it was classified as one of the Kyushu.

When the team arrived in the city, they were immediately received by local officials, and everyone went directly to the restaurant in the city.

The restaurant here is considered to be the most luxurious here. From the outside, it has cornices, bucket arches and tiles, and there are copper animal faces on the four corners of the roof.

"Brother Wang, this place doesn't look cheap."

Liu Luming on the side swallowed and said.

"Anyway, we don't need to treat guests, just ignore him."

"Hey, that's right, filling your stomach is the real business."

How could Wang Gangquan not know the problem that Liu Luming could see at a glance.

The local budget for receiving officials from other places is limited every year. Once the budget is exceeded, they can only find their own way.

Once there was a county magistrate who had insufficient budget when receiving a Yuanwailang, so he invited him to eat a dish of tofu mixed with shallots.That Yuanwailang didn't say anything at the time, but afterward, he often stumbled behind the scenes, making this "clean and clean" county magistrate hopeless for promotion many times.

Later, thanks to the support of someone in the court, he bypassed this Yuanwailang and successfully entered the temple.

These are all things to say later. After that, no one dared to save money on entertaining colleagues.

At this moment, a sedan chair stopped in front of the crowd, and a middle-aged man with a well-built figure stepped out of the sedan chair and came straight to Wang Qingquan.

"Your official, Wen Dehai, see the prince Qiantui." After the visitor finished speaking, he did not forget to salute respectfully.

Hearing the astonishing words of the other party, the accompanying Baihu and others couldn't help being a little surprised. They only knew that the young man in front of them had a high official position, but they didn't expect to be the current prince.

Wang Gangquan was not surprised. It doesn't matter which of these officials outside the capital is in the capital, even if they are acquainted with a certain father-in-law in the palace, it is reasonable.

I saw him nodding his head slightly, and then walked into the restaurant in front of him first, his posture was quite a bit of demeanor that a prince should have.

Liu Luming on the side rolled his eyeballs, showing a smile that was not a smile, and followed him into the restaurant.

The middle-aged man who claimed to be Wen Dehai wiped the sweat from his forehead, and followed him in.

The remaining hundred people looked at me and I looked at you, obviously not knowing what to do.

At this moment, Wang Gingquan, who had already stepped into the restaurant, said in a deep voice: "Everyone, don't stand around outside, let's come in together."

This restaurant was obviously reserved in advance, and there was no one else except them.

A hundred officers and soldiers were arranged directly on the first floor by middle-aged men, and nearly ten tables were set up, while Wang Gangquan and Liu Luming were invited to a private room on the second floor alone.

At this moment, Wang Gangquan still looked like two to five to eighty thousand people, looking sideways out of the window, not paying attention to the official at all.

"My lord, I haven't introduced myself yet. The villain is the mansion of Yanzhou."

Futai, also known as the magistrate, is the highest official in a prefecture.Those who can sit in this position are naturally people who are good at courting, and this is the case with the prefect.

Seeing the Eighth Prince's attitude so arrogant, he didn't feel displeased at all, but became more respectful, because he felt that the prince should be like this.

If Wang Gangquan came up with a warm and familiar look, it would make him look down on him. It was precisely because Wang Gangquan knew this that he deliberately pretended to be superior.

Because he has encountered too many cheap bones in his life.

Liu Luming on the side, from the moment he entered the door, automatically pretended to be a younger brother, and kept serving tea and water to Wang Bingquan. If his brother wanted to pretend to be aggressive, there was no reason not to help, so he picked up the fan again and started fanning the other party It's windy.

Liu Luming's operation was true. The Futai Futai on the side was stunned. He felt that he was already humble enough. He couldn't imagine that the young man opposite him was even humbler than him. To be honest, if he had the opportunity, he would also want to raise such a good one. dog.

Although he admits defeat in his heart, he still has to do enough on the surface. Seeing that Wang Gangquan didn't pay attention to him, Wen Dehai quickly took out an exquisite wooden box from his arms, put it in front of the other party, and said with a smile:

"My lord, it's the first time we meet. This is a special product of the Bi Mansion. I hope you can accept it."

Hearing the words, Wang Gangquan finally glanced sideways at the wooden box on the table. It looked small, and the whole body was made of golden nanmu. The things inside should be of great value.

He calmly pushed the box aside with his fan, and Liu Luming immediately understood when he saw it, picked it up and put it in his arms.

"Your Majesty Wen is very polite. When I was in the capital, I often heard your name. Seeing him now is really extraordinary."

He had never heard of Mr. Wen and Mr. Wu, but he just complimented him politely because of his lack of manpower.

The prefect of Wen on the opposite side obviously knew this well, he quickly waved his hands and said with a smile: "My lord is too famous, I'm just doing my duty."

"Master Wen is humble." Wang Gangquan unfolded his folding fan and said with a smile on his face.

Because of the conversation between the two, the atmosphere here became active.

Because of this, Wen Dehai is complacent about his behavior of giving away "special products" just now.

"Come on, serve the food."

Following Wen Dehai's order, exquisite dishes were served on the table one after another. Since they were ordered in advance, the serving speed was very fast, and the table was filled with more than a dozen dishes in a short while.

Liu Luming's eyes stared straight at him. He had never seen many of these rare items before, such as abalone with big fists, lobster with long arms... Except for seafood, there were no mountain delicacies, such as bear paws and elephant trunks, sparrow tongue humps... …it’s all there is to it.

Not to mention Liu Luming, even Wang Gingquan couldn't stop his liver from trembling when he saw it. Damn it, eating roasted whole lamb in the palace on weekdays is considered corrupt. Compared with this now, the conditions are simply difficult.

"My lord, the dishes are ready, let's use our chopsticks."

Wen Dehai on the side reminded at the right time.

"Ah."

Wang Gangquan agreed, and then took the lead in moving the chopsticks. It wasn't because he was in a hurry, but mainly because Liu Luming's eyes were green. If he was still holding the chopsticks, he might have started directly.

At the end of the meal, Baihu from downstairs came up at this moment. He first bowed to the three people present, and then said to Wang Quanquan:
"My lord, the pirates have attacked several different guards, so we have to distribute the weapons as soon as possible, so we will part ways next."

Wang Gangquan nodded upon hearing this.

Bai Hu seemed worried, and continued: "It doesn't take too many people to transport weapons. How about leaving 50 people for you, do you think it's okay?"

It wasn't that he deliberately flattered him, after all, the other party was the prince, and if something went wrong, he couldn't bear it.

"No, water bandits are rampant in the southeast area. If you have fewer people, you may be targeted by them. Keep as many people as you should."

"This……"

Seeing this, Wen Dehai interjected: "Commander, just listen to the prince. At worst, I will personally lead the troops to escort the prince to An Dongwei. It will not take a day to go back and forth."

Baihu heaved a sigh of relief when he heard the words, and cupped his hands towards Wen Dehai and said, "Thank you Mr. Wen, if this is the case, then I will take my leave first."

Although Wang Gingquan looked calm, he still had to admire the Wen Zhifu in his heart. His operation not only bought people's hearts, but also made him feel good about him. It can be said to kill two birds with one stone.
