The next day!
Liu Mingzhi stood in front of Yun Qingshi's room door, stretched out, rubbed his forehead with a bad expression, and counted silently with his fingers.
"Thirteen days, there are still thirteen days before this young master can turn into a serf and sing!"
"Dad, my dear, please give your regards to your father!"
"No gift...uh...what are you doing?"
Young Master Liu looked at Liu Chengqian, who was carrying a hoe and wearing loose clothes, with a stunned expression. Could it be that this boy is really addicted to farming?
Liu Chengqian held up the hoe in his hand and laughed cheerfully: "The flowers and plants outside the window of my mother and aunt are not blooming vigorously. Qian'er plans to loosen the soil to make my mother and aunt happy!"
As expected, Liu Chengqian really planned to plow the land with his hoe.
Young Master Liu stared at Liu Chengqian with a troubled expression. How could such a diligent guy come out of a lazy family? Gene mutation? Or maybe it's the old man next door... It's impossible, not possible. Not to mention that Liu Chengqian looks 70% or 80% similar to her. It's impossible for the third princess to be such a person.
Besides, there is no guy named Wang next door to my young master’s house, so what are you thinking about!
"Be careful, don't hurt your feet. Where are your eldest brother and second brother?"
"Mother Yun is watching her do her homework! I guess she should be finished in half an hour!"
"I know, let's loosen the soil first. Don't damage the foundation in the corner. It's not a good habit to dig at the base of the wall!"
"I know dad, I'll go first!"
"Um!"
Young Master Liu looked at Liu Chengqian's back, shook his head helplessly and walked towards the front yard. He didn't know who this guy looked like!
It was unfortunate for the family to produce such a diligent guy from his own seed.
You are the emperor's grandson, why do you like farming?
"Young Master, Mr. Shi Yu, Governor of Ying, is asking for an audience outside the mansion!"
Young Master Liu had just sat down and drank a cup of tea when Liu Song trotted in.
Liu Mingzhi raised his eyebrows and put down the tea cup in his hand: "Please!"
"yes!"
Over a cup of tea, Liu Song walked in with Ying Governor Shi Yu Chengle.
Yu Chengle looked at Mr. Liu who was sitting in the first place, with a slightly puzzled expression on his face. He hesitated for a moment and then saluted: "Your Majesty, Yu Chengle, meets the Governor!"
"Excuse me, sir, please take a seat!"
"Thank you, Lord Governor!"
Yu Chengle sat in a chair and nodded slightly to the servant serving tea.
Liu Mingzhi silently observed Yu Chengle's every move, and he really couldn't figure out how such a polite and polite person could be the one who was most opposed to him being the governor of the two governments.
Are you deliberately showing off in front of yourself, or is there something else you're hiding?
"Master Yu, how are you doing recently?"
Yu Chengle hurriedly put down the tea cup in his hand: "Thanks to your great blessing, everything is going well for me recently."
"That's good, but Sir, it's not because of the governor's blessing, but because the lucky people have their own destiny!"
"Concerning the matter of resuming mutual trading, I wonder if Mr. Yu has any better opinions? It would be better if you tell me so that the Governor will be enlightened!"
"After all, when it comes to governing Yingzhou, Mr. Yu is an old man who is really familiar with things. This governor is just a newcomer who doesn't know everything!"
Yu Chengle looked at Liu Mingzhi with a puzzled expression. He didn't know what kind of medicine he was selling in his gourd. After all, compared with Liu Mingzhi when he first arrived in Yingzhou half a month ago, and Liu Mingzhi's attitude towards him now. There's a huge difference.
For a moment, Yu Chengle was a little confused and couldn't figure out what Liu Mingzhi was talking about when he heard about him.
However, since Liu Mingzhi asked about trading, Yu Chengle himself would not refuse.
Yu Chengle pondered for a moment and looked at Liu Dashao quietly: "Consult with the Jin Kingdom and the Turks to jointly issue a notice to appease the merchants, so that they do not have to worry about the war between Heshuo and Yingzhou City being burned. Exchange of goods with foreign countries allows them to conduct trade with peace of mind.”
"Secondly, we can also make some slight adjustments on top of taxes and break it into parts so that merchants can see how profitable it is!"
"Third, the ban on Turkic merchants from the Jin Kingdom can be appropriately relaxed. In this case, not only our merchants, but also the merchants from the Jin Kingdom and Turkic merchants will come one after another!"
Liu Mingzhi's heart was in turmoil, but he remained calm on the surface.
"How to negotiate with the Jin Kingdom and the Turks? What price do we need to pay?"
"this!"
Yu Chengle hesitated for a moment and gritted his teeth: "I don't dare to speak nonsense. This has to be judged according to different timings. If the Jin Kingdom and the Turks now have rich internal treasury and do not value the small profits they think the Lord has promised, the price should be increased." , if the Jin Kingdom also needs silver to ease the national treasury, the price can be reduced, especially since the Huyan Royal Court is currently fighting for years, it will definitely need a large amount of goods support, your Excellency can do something about this matter!"
"In short, from the perspective of the following officials, we must not expose our shortcomings to the eyes of the two countries under any circumstances. We must keep it secret. Only in this way can the price we pay be much less!"
Liu Mingzhi gently played with the tea cup in his hand, and occasionally raised his eyes to glance at Yu Chengle.
In his heart, he was extremely satisfied with every word Yu Chengle said, but the content of the information Murong Shan gave him always made him worried, and Liu Mingzhi couldn't help but fall into a dilemma.
The governor of Yingzhou must first have an overall view, and Yu Chengle fully meets this condition.
But if Yu Chengle takes the position of governor of Yingzhou and still works against him, he would rather promote a guy who is slightly less capable but obedient.
Liu Mingzhi pondered for a moment, then breathed out slightly: "Master Yu, I have a very presumptuous question, are you..."
"Master!"
Liu Mingzhi frowned and looked at Liu Song who suddenly barged in: "What's wrong? What happened?"
Liu Song glanced at Yu Chengle, walked up to Liu Mingzhi and whispered in Liu Mingzhi's ear.
After a moment, Liu Mingzhi looked at Liu Song with doubt in his eyes: "Where is he?"
"Waiting outside the house!"
"I know, take it to the main courtyard living room and wait, I'll be there right away!"
"Yes, little one, please resign!"
"Your Excellency, I have an important guest to entertain, so I won't keep you any longer today. If there is a chance, I will see you again!"
Yu Chengle stood up and saluted: "I'm sorry to leave!"
"Master Yu!"
When Yu Chengle reached the door, he stopped, turned around and looked at Young Master Liu in confusion: "Sir, what are your orders?"
"Do you think you can serve as the governor of Yingzhou well under this governor?"
Liu Mingzhi emphasized the words "under the supervision of this governor" in particular. He knew that Yu Chengle would understand what he meant.
Sure enough, Yu Chengle was slightly startled, with a complex look on his face and hesitated for a moment: "This official must only follow the leader's lead!"
Yu Chengle's cheerfulness was beyond Liu Mingzhi's expectations, making him more and more curious about the old guy Cheng Le, what kind of person he was.
However, now that Yu Chengle had surrendered, Liu Mingzhi finally breathed a sigh of relief, but Liu Mingzhi still would not let down his guard against Chengle right away.
This person's behavior is really confusing and confusing to me.
As the saying goes, people's hearts will be revealed over time, and whether they can be reused depends on their exposure to them slowly.
"Sir, please go slowly, I won't send you far!"
Yu Chengle nodded with regret in his eyes. He didn't know whether the new governor would choose him to be the governor of Yingzhou.
"I'm resigning!"
