Xiao Chen raised the corners of his lips slightly and ordered to the waiter: "Since you are already here, please invite the people in."
Xia Xian walked in with a smile on his face, followed by two boys with their hands full of things.
Xiao Chen was most familiar with this kind of scene, he was definitely here to pay bribes!
After all, he does this kind of thing often.
Xiao Chen specially made a seat for him: "Master Xia, this is so disrespectful. Hurry up and sit down."
Xiao Chen made room for him, and Xia Xian showed his conscience. Xiao Chen was a little surprised.
This was the first time he met the legendary Governor Xiao. He heard that he was still a eunuch. Could it be that he was the handsome young man in front of him?
"I have long heard that Governor Xiao, who came to exterminate the Japanese, was wise, mighty, and of extraordinary bearing. When I saw him today, he was indeed extraordinary."
There was a flurry of excitement about the horses, and Xiao Chen was humbled again and again, "You're so flattering, you can't compare to the head of the Xia family, who is also the leading figure in Jiangdong Avenue."
After honing his skills in the palace, Xiao Chen became quite comfortable with these flattering compliments.
Unexpectedly, Xiao Chen would be so polite. Xia Xian struck while the iron was hot and asked someone to bring gifts to him.
"Governor Xiao helped us Jiangdong Road to eliminate the Japanese scourge. Such a great kindness cannot be repaid, so I came here to thank you with a small gift. I just hope that Governor Xiao will not dislike it."
dislike?
How could I dislike it!
Xiao Chen immediately moved the gifts in front of him: "Mr. Xia is really polite. These are things that this governor should do."
"If you have anything to do in the future, please come directly to this governor, and you will never be polite!"
In just a few words, everyone else was stunned.
Especially Duan Haichao, someone who can cooperate with Japan is definitely not a good person. How could Xiao Chen not understand?
But he still accepted this "bribery" without hesitation.
Xia Xian felt happy and quickly responded with a smile: "With Governor Xiao's words, I can rest assured!"
"If I need help in the future, I will definitely come to you!"
He also didn't expect that Xiao Chen was so easy to bribe!
With her own big shot protecting her, why bother trying so hard to please the Japanese people and do those thankless things.
After achieving his goal, Xia Xian left without disturbing their meal.
Xiao Chenze couldn't wait to open the gifts.
Agate, jade Ruyi, mutton fat jade pendant, and various precious supplements...
He couldn't help but sigh, "There are so many good things, how much are they worth!"
Seeing his smiling face, Duan Haichao couldn't hold back his voice and said, "Master Xiao, isn't it inappropriate for you to be like this?"
Xiao Chen shrugged: "If there's anything inappropriate about it, don't give it up if you have money."
Seeing that he was hesitant to speak, Xiao Chen had no choice but to explain: "If the emperor couldn't tolerate me, I wouldn't have tried every means to come here."
"If I want to accumulate my own power, I not only need to win the hearts and minds of the people, but also need to have enough money to support my determination to resist."
"And aren't those big aristocratic families the best cash cows?"
Even though he is a little more depressed than before, a skinny camel is bigger than a horse.
Today, Xia Xian has returned home as he wished, and others will surely follow suit, and within a few days they will be able to harvest a small golden mountain.
It’s such an easy and ethical way to make money, why not?
Duan Haichao suddenly realized it and couldn't help but admire him: "You still think clearly!"
I didn't expect Xiao Chen to be so young but very clever.
…
After a few days, just as Xiao Chen expected, several aristocratic families came to give money.
Ji Hongluan was quite helpless: "Sir, wherever you go, you have to establish a bad reputation for being greedy and lustful."
"Those people are flattering you on the surface, but they don't know what to say in private."
Xiao Chen counted the money and didn't care at all: "Small face is nothing in front of money."
"What's more, this is the kind of person I am, right?"
Xiao Chen carefully reflected on himself and finally gave a very definite answer!
It is human nature to love money, and it is also the nature of a man to like beauty. He just lived out himself!
Ji Hong couldn't help rolling her eyes, but Xiao Chen urged her, "Don't just stand there and watch, come over and help count the money."
"If Bai Zhi hadn't been too busy and really wanted to bring her here, then we wouldn't have to worry about settling accounts."
Bai Zhi is extremely talented at settling accounts!
Ji Hongluan rolled her eyes: "Put it down. If I help you, I'm afraid I won't be able to get the account right for three days and three nights."
At this moment, Yuluo came quietly: "Sir, let me help you."
"When we were in the Jin family, they also let the slaves learn some business methods, and they also knew a lot about settling accounts."
Not to mention, Yuluo did her job well, like an experienced accountant!
Xiao Chen gave a thumbs up and praised repeatedly: "I took you out all the way. It seems that I made a correct and smart decision!"
Kuagui praised Yuluo, but still couldn't help but ask: "Sir, you have been busy collecting money and establishing your own plan in Jiangdong Road in recent days, but about dealing with Japanese people..."
"Those people were acting strangely. I guess they hid when they knew you were coming and didn't even see you."
When Ming Ming was in the capital, he heard that Japanese people were rampant from Jiangdong to Japan.
As a result, when people came here, those people were so frightened that they couldn't see any of them?
Xiao Chen was slightly embarrassed, so he told the truth: "Actually, the Japanese people at that time were all pretending to be one of our own people. I just came here to find an excuse."
Yuluo's hand paused slightly, and she was slightly surprised: "So there are no Japanese people making trouble here?"
Xiao Chen tried it: "How is it possible?"
"It's a long way from Jiangdong to Tiangao. The emperor has almost forgotten this place. Those Japanese people are even more rampant. They even colluded with the locals to set up a college here to spread Japanese culture."
"I'm afraid that Jin Chengzhong's overtime work before has aroused the vigilance of those people, so they will not dare to act rashly for a while."
Although Japanese people are arrogant, they have another advantage, that is, they are cautious.
Because they are close to the sea and are familiar with water properties, they are so rampant in Jiangdong, but there is nothing they can do against them.
Patting Yu Luo on the shoulder: "Don't worry, just count the money carefully. As for those Japanese people, I will take care of it."
"After all, there is no room for two tigers in one mountain. They want Jiang Dongdao to love my way. Naturally, they cannot let these people get what they want."
"What's more, I also have deep grudges with the Japanese!"
As for the specific grudges, they must be traced back to the thoughts themselves.
The step-by-step development of Japan will also have a considerable impact on future generations.
The hatred engraved in the bones cannot be forgotten no matter when and where we are.
