After entering the door, Cui Jingtong bowed his hands very humbly.
"There is no need to be polite, Shopkeeper Cui. I don't know why you came here today. What do you mean?"
Li Si changed into casual clothes, sat in the main seat, and asked with a smile.
He knew exactly what this guy was doing here.
But now things have become very complicated. The money this guy sent was also given to the envoys. His life is still in the hands of those Huns, and he has no time to take care of him!
"Alas! Now that the Prime Minister is asking, the common people don't dare to hide it. It's not about the matter of Zuixianren Winery...!"
Cui Jingtong stood in the room, sighed deeply, and said helplessly: "The business of their winery has been getting better and better during this period. Even a large winery like mine that has been around for hundreds of years can't sustain it, let alone Let’s talk about those small wine shops that have just started. If this continues, many people in the city will drink the northwest wind!"
Since the last time he sent 10,000 gold, he has returned home to wait, hoping for good news every day!
However, as the days passed, there was no news at all. He really couldn't sit still!
According to the advertisement published in the newspaper, many people came here on the first day, but after tasting the wine, the reputation of their winery became even worse in Xianyang City!
People are constantly saying that they don’t want to make progress, don’t know how to reform, remain unchanged, and have no future!
He sent someone to secretly buy the wine from Zuixianren Winery and let the craftsmen brew it, but they tried many times but never succeeded.
I don’t know how that young man made the wine as clear as water without any impurities!
At first, a few neighbors came to buy wine from their winery, so that he could make it cheaper for the sake of the neighbors.
And I haven't seen anyone in the past few days. I guess I have gone to Drunken Immortal!
"As the Prime Minister of the Qin Dynasty, I should think about the people, but recently the Huns envoys suddenly came to the Qin Dynasty, and the Prime Minister suddenly had a lot more things on his hands...!"
Li Si took a sip of tea and continued: "But don't worry, the Huns envoys were made things difficult by the young master just after they came to Da Qin, and then they were tricked by the young master and lost a lot of money in gambling. They will definitely regard the young master as a thorn in their side from now on." , Shopkeeper Cui, just rest assured and wait!"
"The news about the Xiongnu envoys visiting Da Qin has been widely circulated outside. We have all received the news, but we didn't expect that the young master would dare to offend these envoys. He was not afraid that the envoys would go back and sue them, causing a war between the two countries. ?"
Cui Jingtong is a businessman, but he has always paid attention to national affairs.
Once the two countries go to war, it will have a great impact on businessmen like them!
"So I, the Prime Minister, tell you not to worry. The Xiongnu envoys will stay in Daqin for another half month. As soon as the half-month period is up, they will go north and return to the grassland. By then, the Chanyu will be angry. The two countries are at war, wasting people and money. Do you think His Majesty will let the young master go?"
"Yes, Your Majesty will definitely be angry with the young master when the time comes. It's hard to say whether he can continue to develop these businesses!"
Thinking of this, Cui Jingtong immediately smiled.
"That's right, so I told you not to worry, Drunken Immortal's boss is a young master, he can't be defeated just by talking!"
Even he, the prime minister, has been impeached repeatedly without success. Cui Jingtong is just an ordinary businessman, and it is even more impossible to bring down that kid.
"Okay, then the grassroots will go back and wait for the news!"
"Yeah! See off guests!"
Li Si nodded and greeted his servants.
…
"Young Master, Young Master, the letter has been intercepted!"
"Li Si, this old fox, actually hid the letter for three days before sending someone to deliver it. Several people fell down on the way. If we hadn't had good eyesight, we would have missed it!"
Three days later, Fan Kuai and Peng Yue found Xiao Zhengtai and handed over the letter they had just intercepted.
"Where is the person who received the letter?"
Li Si was so careful in handing over the letters back and forth for fear of being discovered, so Xiao Zhengtai expected that he would definitely not let anyone in his family go to the Huns.
There must be someone outside the city to help!
"We have captured it!"
Fan Kuai said happily.
"good!"
Xiao Zhengtai nodded, opened the letter, and looked at the contents inside.
Fan Kuai and Peng Yue were rough people and didn't read many books. They didn't go over to check the content of the letter, but stared intently at the expression of the young lady.
Xiao Zhengtai gradually changed from a serious expression to a playful one, and finally started laughing!
This made the two of them very confused!
"Young Master, what exactly does this letter say?"
The two of them scratched their heads, not knowing why.
What kind of content can make the young master's expression change like this?
"Haha! These Huns barbarians really don't know how to live or die...!"
Xiao Zhengtai sat on the chair, shaking his two calves that were no longer than Fan Kuai's arms, and said with a smile: "These people said that they lost the city in a bet because they were forced by me, and they were forcibly detained here. It is not allowed." They return to the Huns!”
"In addition, the letter also described the appearance and power of the artillery, saying that our Daqin made the artillery just to attack the Xiongnu, and suggested that their Shanyu strike first, take advantage of our unpreparedness, and capture Xianyang City in one fell swoop!"
The letter was written on the paper he developed, and it took several pages of writing.
Xiao Zhengtai simply relayed the contents of the letter, and the smile on his face became even bigger!
"What the hell, they are obviously greedy and want to win the city and money from our Great Qin. The bet they made now is turned down and they are said to be forced by our Great Qin?"
"Those barbarians of the Xiongnu have never understood etiquette, justice and shame, and they can easily confuse right and wrong!"
After hearing what was in his heart, Fan Kuai jumped up and down in anger.
Fan Kuai's performance was quite calm, but his face was also filled with contempt!
"Those Huns envoys are trying to save their lives!"
"If they were told everything about their bet to Maodun Shanyu, their lives would definitely not be saved. But if they were told like this, their Shanyu would not only not blame them, but would think that they were loyal to protect the country, and would reward them if they failed to protect the country. Woolen cloth!"
Xiao Zhengtai analyzed the two people with a sneer.
"Oh! So that's what happened...!"
After he reminded them, the two of them suddenly realized, "These barbarians seem careless, but I didn't expect that they actually have so many twists and turns hidden in their hearts!"
"If my prediction is correct, this idea should have been thought up by the envoy leader, Harry. Others may not be able to think so much!"
Little Shota crossed his legs and swayed regularly.
After two days of understanding, he found that Harry was just like Li Si, like an old fox.
And that Gus is like Li Xin, brave but not wise!
The other envoys were just filling in and didn't speak much from the beginning to the end!
They made such a big mistake, Gus and the other envoys were probably in a panic, and the most they could think of was a way to escape!
And Harry's move directly saved their lives!
"Has the person who received the letter been interrogated?"
"Go back to me, young master. I already interrogated him on the way back to the city! That guy is just an ordinary messenger. We didn't even use him to torture him. He'll do anything with just a little scare!"
Peng Yue cupped his hands and smiled.
"What did you say?"
"When we caught him, he was confused and didn't know what mistake he had made. It wasn't until we asked him how many times he had sent letters to the Huns that he understood...!"
"He didn't know the person who asked him to deliver the letter, but he was given a lot of money, so he accepted the job. This was the second time he came to see him, and the price was agreed to be the same as before, twenty gold per trip, but After taking the money, we didn’t go very far on horseback before we stopped him!”
Fan Kuai put his hands on his hips and smiled slightly contentedly.
"Humph! Li Si, an old guy, really gives me a lot!"
Xiao Zhengtai sneered twice.
In this day and age, an adult earning ten cents a day is already pretty good!
Even if the messenger is a man and a horse, plus food and accommodation, ten gold is enough!
The reason for giving so much must be to keep the messenger secret!
"Give me a good look at the person, keep him for future use!"
"yes!"
