"Since King You wants to clear out the gangsters, we can help him clear out the gangsters, and we can still get a good reputation." Ding Guomin continued to lie: "But we have to make the choice ourselves, and we can't be too fake!"
"People are bound to die, but how many people die and who die? It all depends on how you arrange it!"
"Sacrificing some unnecessary people, we will keep half of the money and food, and give the rest to King You. He will get what he wants, but you will not lose anything. Isn't this a strategy that has the best of both worlds?"
Everyone was shocked immediately and showed surprise.
Ding Guomin feels that these people are not very smart. If King You is really a ruthless person, he suspects that these people will be played to death by King You sooner or later.
"That makes sense!"
"The best policy is to give up the small and choose the big!"
"Yes, gangsters are indeed not a long-term solution!"
Everyone understood.
In this case, then help King You to suppress the bandits.
After thinking about it, the group of people looked at Ding Guomin with a different look.
Scholars are just different, they are dirty-hearted and ruthless!
They looked at Guomin Ding gratefully, and their favorability towards Guomin Ding greatly increased.
Ding Guomin sneered in his heart, but he didn't know if these people would be grateful to him in the future?
"Everyone, without further ado, let's talk to King You now."
"Master Ding, please!"
Now no one dared to look down upon Ding Guomin.
In the camp, everyone was sitting crowded together.
Li Zhao looked at the group of people with a smile and said, "What do you think?"
All the nobles looked at Ding Guomin, and Ding Guomin stood up and said: "Your Highness, we are willing to assist you in killing the bandits and bring peace to the people."
Li Zhao stared at Ding Guomin thoughtfully for a long time, then glanced at the other dignitaries, and immediately stood up and said enthusiastically: "Okay, okay, you all understand the general situation and understand the righteousness, I am very pleased!"
"You are all guests. Let's serve tea!"
Ding Guomin: "..."
Gentlemen: "..."
All dignitaries: "..."
"I like to make friends the most. You all understand the righteousness, and I admire you deeply, so I will give you tea instead of wine, please!"
Even Ding Guomin was choked, and he began to doubt whether he was right in deceiving him?
This King You... doesn't look like a good person!
Being hypocritical and submissive is an essential skill for every powerful person. If you negotiate a good cooperation, the host and guest will naturally be happy.
Li Zhao entertained them warmly and signed a sales contract for the threshing machine.
When they learned that a threshing machine only cost 30,000 guan, they couldn't help but sigh that it was really cheap, because the time and manpower saved alone definitely exceeded 30,000 guan.
Therefore, they were very happy to sign the contract without any hesitation.
Just after everyone signed, Ding Guomin suddenly asked: "Your Highness, what are your plans next?"
The dignitaries in the nine major counties all fell silent and looked at Li Zhao quietly.
Li Zhao stared at Ding Guomin for a long time and then said: "Of course it's farming."
Seeing that Li Zhao refused to reveal the information, many people felt a little regretful, but they already felt that they had made a profit by being able to sign the contract.
Therefore, they did not stay much and left after agreeing on the delivery time.
Ding Guomin did not leave. He was left at the end and seemed to be dragging his feet.
Li Zhao stared at Ding Guomin for a long time, and suddenly said: "County Magistrate Ding will stay here for a moment. I have government affairs to ask for advice."
Many county magistrates were suspicious, but thinking of the gap between themselves and Ding Guomin, they turned around and left silently.
Ding Guomin smiled and waved to the other dignitaries, and finally slowly entered Li Zhao's camp.
The two sat down, and neither one spoke first.
It wasn't until Li Zhao stared at Ding Guomin that he felt a little uncomfortable, and then he said: "Your Highness, this official is new here, and he is very concerned about government affairs..."
"Magistrate Ding is so eloquent!"
Ding Guomin was startled, stood up quickly, and said, "I don't dare to do this."
Li Zhao leaned his elbows on the table, stared at him with a smile and said, "Whose are you?"
"I don't understand what Your Highness means?" Ding Guomin looked up, with a confused and innocent look on his face.
The two looked at each other like this for a few seconds, and Li Zhao suddenly said: "In fact, I don't have to care about who you are, but I don't want anyone to stumble me here. Does County Magistrate Ding understand? "
Ding Guomin slowly raised his head and said with a calm expression: "Your Majesty is joking. This official is the magistrate of Qingyun County. He is an official for one of his parents, and he is a person under the jurisdiction of your Majesty. Why do you say that?"
Li Zhao chuckled and did not argue.
"I thought it would be troublesome for them to give up the gangsters..."
A smile appeared on the corner of Ding Guomin's mouth. It seemed that His Highness Prince You had indeed noticed it.
Very good, it seems that he is not an idiot prince.
"Does the prince think that the official's job is appropriate?" Ding Guomin asked boldly.
"It's a good fit." Li Zhao said, "Then I wish us a happy cooperation!"
"Thank you, Your Highness." Ding Guomin bowed and said goodbye.
The two said nothing, but had already reached a certain level of cooperation.
After Ding Guomin left, Li Zhong frowned and said, "Your Highness... this person is not simple."
Li Zhao nodded and said, "As long as it doesn't get in the way!"
"This group of powerful people will definitely not hand over all the gangsters..." Li Zhong hesitated, gangsters were always a big problem.
If only some of the gangsters died this time, it means that the hidden danger still exists.
But Li Zhao didn't care and said: "Uncle Zhong, don't underestimate anyone. Believe it or not, even if I don't kill these gangsters, as long as this County Magistrate Ding has the opportunity and ability, he will definitely find a way to kill these gangsters." A group of ruthless bandits?”
"Is that so?" Li Zhong was shocked. The county magistrate just now seemed quite loyal and honest.
"There is a saying that goes, divide and eat." Li Zhao reminded: "This County Magistrate Ding has a great talent, and the remaining bandits cannot escape!"
Li Zhong didn't seem to understand, and Li Zhao didn't explain much.
Li Zhao continued to receive guests, and he felt like he was the leader.
He is obviously a prince, but he doesn't even get paid for his hard work.
The nobles who came to sign the contract were like the masters who entered the brothel. The more Li Zhao thought about it, the weirder he became, and finally handed over the job to Li Zhong.
He decided to thresh rice.
Under the scorching sun, there are longing figures in the rice fields.
Everyone's body was soaked with sweat, but there was a smile that couldn't be hidden on their faces.
Zhao Jingru was surprised and curious. This was the first time she saw how people harvested rice.
It turns out that this is what rice looks like?
It turns out that this is how rice is harvested?
She always thought that after the rice was harvested, it would be in the form she would eat.
Zhao Jingru was wearing a straw hat and following Yaya. They were all women.
These eldest sisters and aunts are very good. They know that they came to Yaya as refugees and gave them a lot of care.
They knew that Zhao Jingru had never done this before, so they did not rush her and even taught her patiently.
This makes Zhao Jingru and Jian Jia a little ashamed, because they are the slowest in progress.
Others have harvested several fields, but they haven't finished even one ridge.
The key is that the leaves of these rice plants are scratchy and itchy when they touch the skin. There are already many small blood marks on the backs of their hands and arms.
"Come on, come on!"
