"I understand the principle of 'soldiers never tire of deceit'; although I have always been in the army, I have never really been on the battlefield. This time, I can compete with real 'soldiers' in this way, and it is not considered a defeat." , I am convinced!”
The minister saluted Wang Dan and expressed his gratitude to him for untying his "heart knot".
"In this way, can we truly 'turn enemies into friends'?"
Faced with the minister's request, Wang Dan didn't turn around for a while. He always felt that this guy changed his position too quickly, which was unreasonable. Out of caution, he didn't dare to be direct for a while, and just said:
"Whether we can be friends or not is yet to be seen; but from today on, both of us are bound to each other in this world. Without one enemy, it is real!"
Hearing such an answer, the minister was very happy and saluted again and said:
"I am a villain but I am not talented. I am extremely grateful to you for saying 'no enemy' to me. I hope that I will be useful in the future. Just say so. I will do my best and will not give up even if I die!"
In fact, what Moromi was thinking at this time was: "The job search can't stop! If you want to take revenge, you can only think about it for a long time, but first you have to catch the right express train, then that's possible!"
Facing the minister's request again, Wang Dan thought to himself, I am just a "temporary worker" who came to fulfill the contract. I will leave as soon as the project is completed. As for this person, he is obviously very familiar with Fahrenheit and has certain connections. Will he be able to use him in the future or at what time? Let’s save it for now!
"You're welcome, sir! Please give me some advice!"
Therefore, Wang Dan and the minister formed a simple temporary alliance at this impossible cocktail party for the Yamen general's birthday, drinking with "friends".
Hua Chen went to bed early while drunk, but he didn't know that at the banquet he paid for, there were already two members of the Hua clan who had "different intentions" and dug the first clue for the "downhill" path of the Hua clan in the future. "shovel".
At that time, the king of the Song Dynasty was addicted to the "beauty" of the red-haired lady and could not extricate himself. So many people in the folk who wanted to follow the dragon and the phoenix secretly found some plant dyes and painted all the hair on their bodies. Dyeing, hoping to have the effect of "upward and downgrade", and also to become "red".
And such a trend has made a kind of plant very popular:
"Impatiens".
Originally, this was just a common household material for making pickles in pharmacies and farmers. Like mustard root, winter melon, and buckwheat, it was also used as a potted plant to beautify the courtyard because of its beautiful red flowers. However, because of its special dyeing function, it is also used as a potted plant to beautify the courtyard. It became a popular beauty plant in the Song Dynasty.
"If you want to be red, be a little red! If you are impatient, you can turn purple! Come here for the big reds and purples! Don't miss it if you pass by! The best impatiens seeds will come alive as soon as you plant them. Watering them will make your home prosperous! Come and buy, hurry up Come to Yi!"
There are more and more merchants selling impatiens flowers all over the streets.
Gradually, this trend was spread not only in the Song Kingdom, but also in the surrounding countries of Wei, Lu, Tan, Zheng, Chen, and even the far-away Wu Kingdom. Folk women also took up this trend. got up.
The lustful wind can't be stopped.
"I would rather have nothing in my belly than have half a pound of it on my face!"
The craziness of women's love for beauty at that time far exceeded the imagination of today's people: even if they only eat one meal a day, the cost of beauty products on their face is not less than one meal.
"Appearance is productivity."
At that time, this statement was really valid—perhaps today, some people believe that "appearance is justice" has the same meaning!
In order to make themselves more beautiful, the people of the time tried every means; this enriched the Song branch caravan of "Cefather".
Originally, "Zeufu"'s business was a temporary measure to "save his relatives". However, "Wang Dan's family" has returned to Tan safely. Logically speaking, "Zeufu"'s caravan should also be completed. After fulfilling their "historical mission", they can return to their roots, farm where they should, and serve as soldiers where they should.
However, human nature is driven by procrastination, so these caravans and escorts who have been "sprinkling" but have been unable to "receive" have learned the art of "procrastination": there is a saying: "You can't do anything when you are sick." "Return"; some said that "the commercial system of the Song Dynasty was formulated, and the procedures for deregistration of merchants are complicated and are being processed"; others said that "someone in the caravan married a woman from the Song Dynasty, and both parties settled in the Song Dynasty after the marriage and did not want to marry far away to Tan. "...all in all, I don't want to go back.
If you don't return, then don't return. Yang Zhen gave them a condition: the function of collecting information cannot be reduced; the rule of returning 50% of profits cannot be broken; in addition, when there is a new task, it must be carried out unconditionally, otherwise, There is no need for Song State to ask them to "close their accounts", he will personally "close their accounts" here.
Being able to earn money, these subordinates who "will not accept the fate of the foreign emperor" secretly reached an agreement: "joint defense and joint defense."
Their interest is to earn more in the Song Dynasty; and facing the relatives of the Tan Kingdom as hostages, they cannot ignore the life and death of their relatives, so they must unite and use a consistent attitude and measures to face all kinds of future situations. Possibility: Whether it is from Song State, Tan State, or other aspects.
This time, when Wang Dan said that he would go to Song Dynasty to fulfill his promise to Xiang Xu, Yang Zhen had already secretly distributed the task of "assisting him", that is to say: every "Cefather" in Song Dynasty The subordinate merchants and team members can be used by Wang Dan at any time.
As for the business of "Impati Flower", it was a signature business that was "monopolized" by "Cefather" during this period of time, so much so that the Song Dynasty's own merchants were not interested in this group of people who had no "business ethics" in the first place. "The "Cefathers" raised the value of this broken flower to a sky-high price and turned it into a "luxury product", which caused the value of medicines in pharmacies to rise, and the common people could not even afford this kind of pickles.
Seeing how much money they had, the local merchants in Song State really couldn't stand it anymore and were deeply dissatisfied. Therefore, they also want to unite and jointly launch a struggle over whether "impatiens" is a "plant" or a "gold object". This debate is actually so high that they have to ask the Yamen chief who manages the merchant market to come forward to mediate. Degree.
"Zeufu" is good at using money, and using a lot of money to get "yamen" is their usual trick, but the key is that it always works and it always works.
Therefore, the local merchants in the Song Dynasty found that "official business" was simply not possible; so they followed suit and asked everyone to pool money together and also give money to the officials to see if they could buy back "justice".
When the officials saw that both sides had money to give, they were even more happy: Unexpectedly, although the official salary was small, they could earn so much money "as a referee", so why not do it? As a result, they began to "judge the case" in a more "confused" manner. Both sides said good things and collected money from both sides, but they just refused to handle the matter.
You can figure it out with your heels. If this "right and wrong" is really clear, what will these officials do to make money in the future?
