Evergreen Immortal..

Chapter 218 Municipal Trade Department

Everyone's eyes fell on Li Rui.

Facing invisible pressure, Li Rui remained calm, stood up calmly, clasped his fists and turned around: "My Lords, I wish you all the best in our future work together."

Yan Zhongxing looked Li Rui up and down.

His eyes were playful.

It is normal to introduce the Sixao Commandant.

After all, it is impossible for Jiang Linxian and Cao Wei to personally inspect and monitor trade matters, so they will definitely send an official to be responsible.

But the following sentence is worth pondering.

The attitude of a subordinate represents the attitude of An Ningwei.

“This is support.”

The person who spoke was Jiang Linxian. Since entering the door, Jiang Linxian has said a total of ten sentences, one of which was the previous sentence.

The fewer words, the more weight they carry.

With Jiang Linxian's words, Li Rui will be more confident when dealing with the Municipal Trade Bureau and handling matters in the future. If the Municipal Trade Bureau wants to take advantage of him, it will have to consider whether it can afford to provoke him.

Looking at Cao Wei again, he didn't show any intention of refutation.

"This person has some skills. I heard that Jiang Linxian and Cao Wei had a bad relationship, but he was able to unite on this matter."

Yan Zhongxing doesn't think that the two of them are putting the overall situation first.

They probably all look favorably upon the official before them.

Yan Zhongxing laughed and said, "Lord Li, I'll trouble you to take care of me in the future."

After introducing Li Rui.

Jiang Linxian stopped talking altogether.

The real business has been done, and now it’s time to start chatting nonsense.

Even the old hands have started to take a nap with their eyes closed.

At this time.

An official from the Municipal Trade Bureau trotted in. When he saw so many people in the lobby, he first looked at Yan Zhongxing.

Obviously.

This means asking whether to say it or not.

Yan Zhongxing said: "Speak, we are all family here."

But I was unhappy in my heart.

No tact at all.

He could see it, and Cao Wei and Jiang Linxian could see it too. If he didn't let them say it out, there would definitely be a rift, and he would offend the two chief officers of the An Ning Guard for no reason.

The official from the Municipal Trade Department then spoke up: "Sir Yan, the Wu Kingdom delegation wants to meet with you. They said they will arrive in a quarter of an hour."

"Well"

Yan Zhongxing groaned and said, "Lord Cao, would you like to meet the Wu Kingdom envoys together?"

Cao Wei shook his head:

"We are soldiers of the Yu State. Even if the two countries trade with each other, we have different positions after all. It is better not to meet."

Say it.

He stood up and clasped his fists: "Since Lord Yan has something important to do, I will not bother you any more. I will take my leave first."

Yan Zhongxing didn't say any polite words to keep him, and An Ningwei was not suitable to participate in what happened next.

"We'll meet again some other day."

Then Cao Wei led a group of people out of the Municipal Trade Bureau.

The groom brought the reins.

Several people mounted their horses and galloped towards An Ningwei.

"The people riding horses in the city should be from the An Ning Guard."

Dao Mo, the deputy envoy of the Wu Kingdom delegation, looked at a group of people speeding past.

"Brother Mo, how did you figure that out?"

"These people are all in government uniforms, they are military commanders, and their ranks are not low. If I'm not mistaken, they should be An Ning Wei Lieutenant Jiang Linxian, and Lieutenant General Cao Wei."

The sturdy man standing by was immediately full of admiration.

He immediately recognized that they were people from the state of Yu.

Dao Mo was able to analyze so much information with just one glance, and even guess who it was.

"No wonder the Great Witch asked Brother Mo to come."

Dao Mo is an expert on the Yu State and knows everything about the Yu State.

Things have been going smoothly during this period because Dao Mo is familiar with the situation. If it were someone else, they would definitely be in the dark and run into obstacles at every turn.

"Brother Mo, you are awesome!"

The strong man gave a thumbs up.

Dao Mo smiled slightly. In the eyes of the Wu people, this was a skill, but for the people of the Yu country, this was the most normal thing.

He just relied on the fact that he had stayed in Yu State for a long time and had some common sense. After all, Wu State had been isolated from Yu State for too long, so not many people were familiar with the situation.

"When you stay here for a long time, you will also realize that it is not a big deal."

This is considered modesty in the eyes of other people in the Wu Kingdom.

People who are capable and humble will be respected wherever they go.

While talking.

Dao Mo saw Xia Xiaotang's pale face from the corner of his eye and said with concern:
"Xiaotang, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell?"

At this time, others also paid attention to Xia Xiaotang's movements.

"Xiaotang, what's wrong with you?"

Although Xia Xiaotang is a member of the royal family, he is generous, not fussy about details, and gets along well with everyone.

Several men treated Xia Xiaotang as their sister and couldn't help but express their concern.

Xia Xiaotang's fingers trembled slightly, and it took a while before she managed a smile:

"It's okay."

Dao Mo frowned: "Are you really okay?"

"real."

Seeing Xia Xiaotang nodded affirmatively, Dao Mo felt slightly relieved.

"Let's go, we're going to be late."

Seeing that several people wanted to ask more questions, Xia Xiaotang had to change the subject and urged.

Hear the words.

Dao Mo then quickened the pace of his group.

After a while.

They came to the lobby of the Municipal Trade Bureau.

The few people from the Municipal Trade Department in the lobby didn't even move their butts. When they saw the Wu Kingdom delegation appear, Yan Zhongxing and the officials from the Municipal Trade Department stood up to greet them:

"You all have come from afar, thank you for your hard work, thank you for your hard work."

Dao Mo smiled and clasped his fists, saying, "Master Yan, you're welcome."

Yan Zhongxing's eyes flashed with surprise. In his impression, the Wu people seemed to worship nature and were all unruly.

But if you don't look at the appearance of this Wu man, but only look at his behavior, you would think he is an official from the Yu country.

His face remained normal:
"Please take a seat."

While asking for tea, he said, "I am leaving from the capital this time. Lord Zhang specifically asked me to send his regards on his behalf. I look forward to meeting the Great Witch."

When they heard the three words "Lord Zhang", the members of the Wu Kingdom delegation were shocked.

The Lord Zhang mentioned by Yan Zhongxing can only be the Prime Minister Zhang in the Imperial Cabinet.

A Governor Yuan was galloping on the battlefield of Wu Kingdom, and a Prime Minister Zhang was maneuvering in the court.

The two men's reputation in Wu State is no less than that in Yu State.

Everyone knows that Prime Minister Zhang is a man of great intelligence. He has figured out everything about the Wu Kingdom in every transaction and has always been convinced.

The trade between the two countries was the will of the emperor and was promoted by Prime Minister Zhang.

That's why Prime Minister Zhang gave special instructions to Yan Zhongxing before he left.

"Of course, the Great Witch also often thinks of Master Zhang."

A few pleasantries.

After that, Dao Mo began to discuss the specific details of opening up trade with Yan Zhongxing.

"Master Yan, the first group of Wu Kingdom merchants will set off in fifteen days. I hope you can take care of the checkpoints along the way."

"Don't worry."

"This is the list of goods for this shipment, Lord Yan, please have a look."

Dao Mo took out a booklet from his arms, which had a lot of words densely written on it.

Yan Zhongxing saw the booklet.

A look of satisfaction appeared on his face.

Get on the road!

Originally, he thought that he still needed some training before these barbarians from the Wu Kingdom would understand the rules of the Yu Kingdom.

I didn’t expect that this Wu countryman named Dao Mo understood everything.

In addition to supervising trade between the two countries, the Municipal Trade Bureau also has an extremely important task, which is to take commissions.

The apparent commission was in the form of customs duties, but the hidden one was collecting treasures for the bigwigs in the capital, especially the Emperor.

Dao Mo took the trouble to compile a list of goods.

It was telling Yan Zhongxing clearly that he could pick whatever he liked.

With this good foundation, things will go much more smoothly afterwards.

Since the other party has become so compliant, Yan Zhongxing certainly cannot do anything against the rules. As long as he can turn a blind eye, he will naturally let it go.

You are well and I am well, that is the best.

Even so, it still took the two parties half a day to agree on the details.

It takes time to finalize every detail including customs entry, transportation, accommodation, personnel, etc.

But neither Dao Mo nor Yan Zhongxing felt tired at all.

Although these things are small, they are related to the major issues of the two countries.

If something went wrong during the first trade, neither of them would be able to report it.

There was a heated discussion in the lobby.

The young girl Xia Xiaotang was fiddling with her hair with her right index finger out of boredom.

He chatted with the Yu State official beside him.

"I think his name is Qi Ze?"

Qi Ze: "Miss Tang, there are still many places suitable for sightseeing in Qinghe. You will stay in Qinghe for a while. I can be your tour guide."

He was interested in getting to know the girl from the Wu Kingdom.

Although Miss Tang from the Wu Kingdom delegation had a darker complexion, she had a very good foundation and was obviously a beauty at first glance. She also exuded a wild beauty that was not possessed by women from the Yu Kingdom.

The more experienced one is in romance, the more he cannot resist this exotic atmosphere.

of course.

He was interested in making friends, not for the sake of trivial matters, but to establish a personal relationship with the Wu people, which would make it much easier for him to do things in the future.

"Oh, it's good."

Xia Xiaotang highlighted a read reply.

Her last name is Tang, which is how she calls others.

Although the surname Xia is very common in Wu State, because the royal family of Wu State is fertile, but in Yu State, it is inevitable to give rise to speculation.

She simply changed her name to Tang Xiaoxia.

Just when Qi Ze was talking with a dry mouth, he picked up the teacup and took a sip.

The girl Xia Xiaotang took the initiative to ask:

"Master Qi, did a group of people from the An Ning Guard come to the Municipal Trade Bureau just now?"

Qi Ze was stunned. He didn't understand why this Wu country girl suddenly talked about An Ningwei, but finally nodded:
"Yes."

Xia Xiaotang's eyes lit up instantly: "Is there an old man who is about 70 or 80 years old?"

Qi Ze blinked and nodded:

"Have."

Xia Xiaotang hurriedly asked:

"Master Qi, what is his name?"

Although Qi Ze was puzzled, he thought about it and said two words:

"Li Rui."

"Ok?"

"Why do my ears feel so hot?"

Li Rui rubbed his ears.

Then he looked at the book in his hand. Fu Huan gave him hundreds of notes from the senior masters of the Imperial Observatory in one breath, enough for him to read for a long time.

I always gain something.

After returning from the Municipal Trade Bureau, he rushed into the room.

Start studying the notes.

He gradually began to understand the happiness of those top students in his previous life who studied till late into the night, forgetting to eat and sleep.

This is when the anger started to grow.

Finally, he fell into a deep sleep and appeared in the dream again.

Maximize your work efficiency for the day.

"Qize, come out."

Since the battle with Qi Ze, Gao Zhen was successfully abandoned.

Qi Ze has become a daily must-kill item.

The sword appeared in Li Rui's hand, and his fighting spirit rose:

"kill!"
