Chapter 216 Appointment, Reward Enhancement

"Master Zhuang, the trade between our two countries is a major event. I hope you will take care of us in the future."

Zhuang Renhe looked at the burly man in front of him who was like a small tower, and squinted his eyes with a smile.

"Master Dao, this is a matter concerning two countries, and I will do my best."

In the lobby.

The difference is clear.

The people on the right are all wearing official robes of various colors, looking elegant and luxurious, while the people on the left are all wearing animal skins, exuding a wild and wild atmosphere.

The left was respected in the State of Yu.

Today is the day when the county government receives the Wu Kingdom delegation.

Because the Municipal Trade Bureau had not yet been established, he, the magistrate of Qinghe, would temporarily represent him in the meeting and negotiations.

To show that Yu was a country of etiquette.

So the left side was specially given to the Wu Kingdom.

However, it seems that these southern barbarians cannot understand this etiquette at all.

Zhuang Renhe felt like he was playing the lute to a cow.

Dao Mo, the sturdy Wu clan man leading the group, clasped his fists and said in a powerful voice, "Master Zhuang, we are under the order of the Great Wu. There are still some details that need to be discussed with your country's Municipal Trade Bureau. I'm afraid we will have to stay in Qinghe for a while."

Zhuang Renhe still had a warm smile on his face.

But his heart condensed.

The ruler of the Wu Kingdom calls himself the Wu Lord. The Great Witch mentioned by Dao Mo is an existence equal to the National Master of the Wu Kingdom and the National Master of the Yu Kingdom.

His witchcraft is unfathomable.

I heard that this time the trade between the two countries was the work of that great wizard.

Don't be negligent!

"No problem. The county government office happens to have a few vacant courtyards. If you don't mind, you can live in the county government office."

He invited politely.

Dao Mo shook his head:
"Thank you for your concern, Lord Zhuang. We can stay at the inn in the city."

Zhuang Renhe did not try to dissuade him.

He was just being polite.

Non-my family, its heart must be different.

If these Wu people lived in the county government office, it would be equivalent to placing a bunch of spies around themselves.

He will definitely have to send more people to keep an eye on things, so it won't be inconvenient to do things.

By then, you will be tied up in vain.

Since these Wu people took the initiative to propose to stay in the inn in the city, he was of course happy to have some free time.

"Well, I have a good relationship with the owner of Wanfu Inn, so I'll ask Ah Hua to go with me and take care of it."

"Thank you, Mr. Zhuang."

Then the two exchanged a few pleasantries.

The meeting of the diplomatic corps came to an end.

In fact, it was just a simple meeting and we didn't say anything valuable.

After all, the main department responsible for the mutual trade between the two countries is the Municipal Trade Bureau, and Zhuang Renhe was just meeting on behalf of the two sides, so naturally there was nothing to talk about.

The Wu Kingdom delegation left the county government office.

A young clerk named Ahua was jogging in front.

The witch girl Xia Xiaotang then muttered in a low voice: "Dao Mo, this Zhuang guy makes me feel uncomfortable. He is not a good person."

Dao Mo looked at Xia Xiaotang and smiled faintly:
"Of course I know."

In fact, almost none of the officials of the State of Yu were good people.

He had already experienced this when he traveled to the State of Yu a few years ago, and his mind was as clear as a mirror.

Xia Xiaotang curled her lips and said, "Why are you wasting so much time talking to him?"

Dao Mo smiled and said:
"Xiaotang, there is a saying in the Yu Kingdom: It is easy to hide from the King of Hell, but it is hard to deal with little ghosts."

"These officials of the Yu State are all selfish guys. They only care about their own interests. If we don't go to see them, their vanity will not be satisfied, and they will trip us up in the future."

"The trade between the two countries is a very important reform of Dawu, and nothing can go wrong."

Sometimes it’s about interests, sometimes it’s about vanity.

The witch girl Xia Xiaotang just felt a headache.

"The Great Witch is right. The people of Yu are really not good people!"

Then he added: "Especially those who are officials."

Dao Mo smiled and said nothing more.

The members of this delegation were all selected personally by the Great Witch.

In fact, the girl Xia Xiaotang was the leader of this delegation, and he was only the deputy envoy.

The reason why outsiders thought he was the envoy was because he had stayed in the State of Yu for a long time and was very familiar with the situation in the State of Yu.

That's why he was specially invited to join the delegation.

When Dao Mo thought about the current situation of the Wu Kingdom, he couldn't help but sigh softly.

Even though the Wu Kingdom is just beginning to develop, everything is moving in a good direction.

Actually.

The power of several princes of the Wu Kingdom still exists, and there are signs of joining forces.

The newly appointed witch leader may be overthrown at any time.

Previously, the killer Governor Yuan of Yu State forcefully suppressed the coalition of princes, but this was not free. In fact, the price was so high that the entire Wu State could not afford it.

So Governor Yuan went north and returned home.

No foreign aid.

But the battle still has to be fought.

War, after all, is all about money.

The Wu Kingdom was very short of money, so the Great Witch came up with the idea of ​​conducting trade between the two countries.

Dao Mo saw that the girl Xia Xiaotang was a little unhappy, and thought of how she almost fell off the saber-toothed black tiger just now, so he asked with concern:

"Xiaotang, are you feeling unwell?"

The terrifying figure of the old man emerged in Xia Xiaotang's mind.

"No, no."

Dao Mo sighed softly:
"You don't have to worry too much. The Emperor of Yu is also very concerned about this matter, so there shouldn't be any problems."

There was three parts concern and seven parts flattery in his words.

Why would he, an official of the Wu Kingdom, try to please a girl of no official rank?

Just because the witch leader’s surname is Xia and the girl’s surname is also Xia.

Not bad.

Xia Xiaotang is the descendant of the Witch King, but I heard that the bloodline is very biased, which means that there is really no one else who can be used as the new Witch Lord this time, so Xia Xiaotang was called in.

This can also be seen from this.

The witch master is in a situation where he really has no one to turn to.

Or maybe he didn't trust outsiders, so he insisted on asking his blood relatives to take charge.

In fact, the same situation was true for the divisions at several other ports of the Municipal Trade Division. Without exception, the envoys all had the surname Xia. Xia Xiaotang's mind had long drifted to the wooden building.

Of course, Dao Mo didn't take a word of what he said to heart.

On the wooden floor.

"The Wu Kingdom envoys are really impressive, riding monster beasts, so majestic."

Wei Ming recalled the scene of the Wu Kingdom delegation entering the city just now.

Although the Yu Kingdom also has experts who can tame monsters, they are nothing compared to those of the Wu Kingdom.

Ning Zhongtian was also amazed.

"It is said that the ancestor of the Wu Nation was a beast god, who was innately in tune with nature. All the Wu people are good at taming beasts. Ordinary people can make poisonous snakes dance with songs, while warriors can even make monsters command them at will."

Li Rui listened silently.

He knew a lot about this great country right next to him from ancient books.

The Wu Kingdom also practices martial arts, but has evolved a unique martial arts system.

They called them witches.

The most representative of these is the art of animal taming.

According to legend, the demon-raising technique of the previous Xuan Kingdom was borrowed from the animal taming technique of the Wu Kingdom, except that the Wu Kingdom advocated naturalness, while the Xuan Kingdom wanted to transform the demons into new beings.

As for the fact that the ancestor of the Wu Kingdom was a beast god.

That's pure bullshit.

If that's the case, the old Zhu family of Yu State also said that their ancestor was the master of the ancient fairy court.

Since there is no way to verify it, just exaggerate it.

Ge Hong also expressed his own opinion: "The eight major clans have all arrived. I heard that the Municipal Trade Bureau has received the approval of the Ministry of Personnel. The candidate for promotion has been determined and will take office soon."

The Tiju is the chief official of the Municipal Trade Bureau and is also of the fifth rank.

This way.

Qinghe is too lively and the standards are terribly high.

There are now three fifth-rank officials in the city, plus the one who will be asked to be promoted to the Municipal Trade Bureau, a total of four.

There are more than the five grades in An Ning Mansion next door.

Only Yunzhou City can surpass Qinghe.

Wei Ming grinned: "This is a good thing."

Although the jurisdiction of Anning Guard covers more than just Qinghe County, the better the location, the higher their status will be.

The higher your status, the more resources you can get from Annan Town.

The officials of An Ning Wei will be able to become stronger faster.

Isn't that a good thing?

Apart from that, the highlight is actually the people from the eight major sects.

The officials sent by the Yu State court were of the fifth rank, because the official system could not be broken without exception.

But the sect is different.

There might be some fourth-grade innate warriors hiding in Qinghe City today.

That's really incredible.

Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon!

Just as everyone was discussing the current situation, Tan Hu suddenly blurted out:
“The muscles are really big!”

"."

Ning Zhongtian glanced at Tan Hu with a strange expression.

"Is this kid going to be turned gay?"

There has always been a rumor in the market.

Only weaklings like women, strong men want to have sex with men!

Tan Hu is obviously a macho man.

However, when he thought of those Wu people just now, Ning Zhongtian couldn't help but say:
"It's really big."

"Cough, cough."

Wei Ming coughed lightly, interrupting the strange atmosphere, and said, "Ningtou, what realm do you think the Wu Kingdom delegation is at this time?"

It is extremely difficult for a martial artist to discern the realm of others.

Therefore, when describing a person who is good at martial arts, we often say that he has a long breath and a nimble body.

The bottom line is that you can't tell at all until you take action.

Unless you reach the innate realm.

Ning Zhongtian touched his chin:

"Look at the leader, he must be at least a fifth-rank one, otherwise it would be too embarrassing."

"Makes sense."

Tan Hu looked eager to try:
"Boss Ning, Boss Li, how about we think of a way to have a fight with those guys?"

have to.

Wei Ming stroked his forehead and sighed.

Hu Zi really wants to fuck a man.

Three days passed.

The Wu Kingdom's delegation stayed in the most expensive inn in the city and never came out again.

Just when Qinghe was gradually returning to peace.

Something big happened.

Li Rui's appointment document has arrived.

A sixth-rank clerk is more shabby than a sixth-rank clerk. He should be the number one in the State of Yu.

The appointment document for the sixth rank is a genuine imperial edict.

But when it came to the sixth rank, there was only a thin piece of letter paper, and in addition, there was a jade token.

Gone.

In other words, this is the treatment a sixth-rank official should receive.

A sixth-rank official, he is a big shot in Qinghe.

But in the eyes of the bigwigs in the court, he was still a minor official who was not even worthy of being on the stage. Of course, they would not spend too much time on a minor official.

Senior official?

At least it should be of the fifth grade.

If it were in the capital, it would probably have to be raised to the third rank.

Li Rui stared at the document in his hand with burning eyes. To be more precise, he was looking at the panel.

At this time.

Lines of small words appeared before his eyes.

[Congratulations to the host for completing the primary plot of becoming a general and a prime minister - promotion.]

"really!"
