I will not be king in the Spring and Autumn Period

Chapter 58

Ji Xian never expected that Ji Le's trip to Lu State would not only linger on and take a long time, but also promise his life's great events.Now when he came back, he opened his mouth to marry someone, and he had to marry Li Ran.

Seeing that the jewel in the palm of her hand kept acting coquettishly under her knees, and Ji Xian's forehead was covered with black lines for a moment, she felt that she was indeed too indulgent to her before.

Ji Le's words are naturally good, but Ji Xian absolutely cannot agree to betroth his precious daughter to Li Ran just because of her words.

After all, he didn't know much about Li Ran, and it was unknown what this person's purpose in coming to Zheng, and what kind of disturbance he would cause.

If Li Ran really possesses the talents of the world, then that's all.Marrying Ji Le to him may be regarded as a good investment, and it can also fulfill Ji Le's wish, the best of both worlds.

But what if Li Ran doesn't have such abilities?You must know that although Li Ran was able to stir up the situation in Lu State, it also benefited from the relatively peaceful exterior of Lu State. Compared with Zheng State, a land of four wars, which borders Jin in the north, Chu in the south, and Qin in the west, it is far more complicated. Better than Lu.

If you want to say, which country is the most difficult in the Spring and Autumn Period.If Zheng Guo ranked second, then absolutely no country would dare to claim the first place.Almost all the vassal states have had more or less intersections with Zheng Guo.

What's more, thinking of him offering sacrifices to his clan and doing business for generations, this kind of marriage is the most important thing.

At this moment, Ji Xian really knew very little about Li Ran's value. Marrying his daughter to him and investing in him was not insignificant.What if Li Ran fails to meet his expectations in the future?What if Li Ran and their Jishi are not the same way?
Wouldn't it be a loss-making business?
While thinking about it, Jixian couldn't help showing a look of embarrassment.

Jixian has been a merchant for decades, and the Wannian Ship, which has always been carefully crafted, will not agree so easily.

"father!"

"If you don't agree to my daughter... my daughter... my daughter will leave home with Li Ran!"

Seeing that acting like a baby didn't work, Ji Le immediately used a killer move.

In the past, whenever she asked for something and Ji Xian refused, she would use this trick, and Ji Xian immediately complied, tried and tested repeatedly.

This time, Jixian obviously couldn't get rid of the honorable title of "daughter slave", and when he heard that Ji Le was going to run away from home, his expression suddenly changed.

"Don't mess around!"

"You just came back from Jin Kingdom for a few days? You're messing around like this again?! Your mother, Ruoquan, knows how to scold your father and how I discipline you!..."

Although Jixian spoke forcefully, the volume in his mouth became smaller and smaller, and finally he couldn't hear anything at all.

Ji Le saw that something was going on, immediately pouted and said nonchalantly:
"Hmph! Daddy refuses to make my daughter perfect, so she can only run away from home! I want... I want to go to Chu State! Then go to Wu State!"

"stop!"

Listening to Ji Le's words, the more she speaks, the more confident she becomes. How dare Ji Xian continue to insist, turning her head and looking at Ji Le helplessly.

"Le'er... Tell me, what's so good about Li Ran that you can fall in love with him so much? As a father, I really can't do anything about you..."

"Dad~~~"

Ji Le continued to act coquettishly.

"Okay, okay! Dad promises you."

"However, you have to promise father one condition."

The true nature of a businessman must always be profitable.

Ji Le was overjoyed when he heard his father let go of his promise, and hurriedly asked:

"What conditions? Dad?"

Hearing that Ji first stroked his beard, he said thoughtfully:
"Li Ran is well-known in the State of Lu, but in our State of Zheng, he is still less famous. Besides, this person is now penniless, just like a mere white body. If you marry him, the world will laugh at my family. ?”

"So your marriage with him requires him to do a lot of work before dad can make decisions for you. If not, he Li Ran will never even think about stepping into the gate of my family!"

From his words, it is not difficult to see that even if he agreed to Ji Le's marriage with Li Ran, it would be to allow Li Ran to join his Ji clan.

But thinking about it is also true, Jishi is the leading big family in Zheng Guo, even in Zheng Guo, there are many rich and powerful families who want to squeeze in, but there is no way out.Not to mention those foreigners who came to propose marriage.

Now, in desperation, he could only forcefully take advantage of that bastard Li Ran.Then what else did Li Ran have to say?It can only be married!
Where did Ji Le think of this, she only heard that her father had agreed to her, and immediately danced with joy.After all, in her opinion, with Li Ran's ability, trying to make a career in Zheng Guo is like chopping melons and vegetables, how easy it is!
"Okay! It's a deal! Daughter, thank you daddy!"

After a respectful salute, Ji Le hopped away, leaving black lines all over his face, and Ji Xian, who was still sighing, was in a daze on the spot.

After a while, Ji Xian tidied up the hem of his clothes that had just been randomly pulled by Ji Le, and shouted in a deep voice towards the empty hall:
"come in."

Then, two doormen dressed in strong clothes appeared in the hall.

"Lord!"

"how?"

Ji Xian asked without raising his head.

One of them cupped his hands and said:

"Reporting to my lord, everything is normal. Li Ran hasn't come out since he went to the other courtyard, and the Sun Wu next to him has also been silent."

Hearing the sound, Jixian nodded slightly and looked at the other person.

Seeing this, the man said:

"My lord, there has been no news from the Qi State for two consecutive days, but according to my subordinates' speculation, the Qi State business group should have entered the territory of the Lu State at this time."

After hearing this, Jixian showed a thoughtful look on his face, and said after a while:
"This time transporting grain to Weiguo is a big matter. Everything should be done with the safety of the two young masters. If there is any mistake between the two young masters, I will only ask you!"

"Yes! My lord, please rest assured!"

"Go down."

After the person who reported the news of Qi State left, Ji Xian said to the previous person:
"The other courtyard still needs to continue to monitor. No matter what happens to Li Ran, he must report it to me as soon as possible."

"My lord, what do you mean, Li Ran's visit to Zheng State this time may have something to do with Qi State helping Wei State this time?"

The man seemed a little confused.

Ji first glanced at him, and said lightly:
"The Ji family sent people to assassinate him all the way. Although it was urgent and dangerous, Li Ran had an invitation from the sheep tongue, and later cooperated with Han Qi to arrest Ji Sunsu in the state of Jin. In this way, this time If people are really fleeing, Jin should be the first choice, why do they have to travel thousands of miles to come to Zheng?"

"This son is so resourceful that few people in this world can match him. Regardless of whether his coming this time has anything to do with Qi's aid to the defending country, we must strictly guard against his every move, and we must not let him have any troubles, understand? "

What is going on with the state of Qi helping the state of Wei?

It turned out that there was a drought in Weiguo this year, and there was no food harvest. Now there are starvation in the territory.Therefore, Weiguo can only ask for help from the outside world.

As the overlord of the country, Jin should send people to help as soon as possible.However, because of the Pingqiu meeting, the Jin State mobilized 20 troops just to hold an exercise to decorate the appearance.As a result, the farming season was seriously delayed.

But right now, the state of Jin is confronting the state of Qin on the bank of the Yellow River, so there really isn't much food available.

On the other hand, Qi State did not know what kind of stimulus it was, and it was unprecedented to send a batch of grain to Wei State.

This kind of behavior itself is extremely abnormal, because it stands to reason that the relationship between Jin and Wei has always been good, and the two countries are close and belong to the same clan.

And the Qi and Jin countries have been fighting secretly for many years. Now that they have helped Wei, wouldn't that be the same as admitting cowardice?Therefore, this incident has greatly puzzled the princes of the world.

On the other hand, Zheng State and Wei State were not far away, and the Ji family had already received news of the drought in Wei State, so they had secretly prepared a batch of grain, intending to transport it to Wei State for business.

However, when he learned that the state of Qi had already sent food to the state of Wei.If the grain from Qi State had arrived in Wei State first, wouldn't the batch of grain transported by his family be less valuable?

Therefore, the sacrificial ancestors ordered people to monitor the movement of the Qi State grain team all the time along the way, in order to keep abreast of their current progress so that they could transport the food they had prepared to Wei State before they arrived in Wei State.

But the problem is here again.
