Chapter 165 Lu Yijian's Conditions
After drinking for several tours, Li Ruogu saw that Yan Shu was quite cold to him and it was not interesting to sit here, so he pleaded guilty to his old age and went back to rest first. The Li family had a house in Luoyang, and Li Ruogu did not live in the yamen.
Looking at the background of Li Ruogu's departure, Yan Shu shook his head and whispered to Xu Ping: "Li Liushou is old and cannot hear other people's words clearly. I'm afraid that it will disturb everyone's interest when I talk to him. But seeing his unlucky look, I might feel that I'm cold and I'm not the one who makes me in my heart!"
Xu Ping smiled and said, "Li Liushou has ear disease and is well known to all, and the bachelors don't need to worry about this."
Li Ruogu was not very involved in government affairs and was related to his own body. The reason why he came to Luoyang was because he was unable to hear his ears. He could not hear his ears clearly, and he could only hear them in person. In this situation, Yan Shu really could not talk to him.
As soon as Li Ruogu left, the atmosphere suddenly became relaxed. Yan Shu was a little more formal, but he always favored young talents and liked to date young people. Wang Yaochen was the top scholar, Xu Ping was the Tanhua, and he was also a first-class Jinshi. Other positions were also from Jinshi, which was the person Yan Shu liked to deal with the most.
The cold dishes were removed and the fruits came. Xu Ping ordered people to warm the wine again.
Pointing to a plate of pine nuts on the table, Xu Ping said to Yan Shu: "This is a pine nut from Goryeo. Two days ago, a clan brother from the magistrate of Mizhou Wang Bin came here and wanted to sell cotton cloth to Goryeo and brought some local products. The bachelor tasted it, and it was a different taste."
Yan Shu twisted a few pine nuts, peeled them, put them in his mouth and tasted them, nodded: "It's really good. It's rare to produce such a big pine nut in the Central Plains. Get up and you go to Jingxi Road for a year, and you have done two very big cotton cloth businesses with Wang Gongchen!"
Xu Ping said: "We just happened to be the right time. Cotton is indeed produced more than silk and hemp, and it is easy to manage. In foreign countries, there are many such good things that China does not have, but we know less."
"Yes, the late emperor once used Chameng rice to be distributed to various places to plant it, and he also made great profits. There are indeed many things in these foreign countries that are stronger than the Central Plains, but we went to less and didn't know."
There was a wind at night, roaring with dead branches and leaves. Although there was a fire in the corridor, it was airtight everywhere. From time to time, a gust of cold wind blew in, and it became biting cold. Then it was baked by the heat from the ground, one was cold and one heated, and the taste was not good.
Yan Shu didn't care and talked very much. He drank another round of wine. Yan Shu put down the wine glass and said to Xu Ping: "You should know what I want to come this time. Alas, according to the two husbands' wishes, I didn't want to send anyone."
Xu Ping was stunned: "Oh, why did I hear that Mr. Lu wanted to send Mr. Mei? It's just that he is old and has only been delayed for a few days."
Yan Shu smiled and shook his head: "You are on Jingxi Road, far away from the capital. Of course, I don't know the details inside. Mr. Lu's original meaning was that the officials of the branch office were troublesome, but how to deal with it. He and Mr. Wang had to send someone to find out first. This job fell into the Bachelor's College, and in the end, I still had to go to the cold weather."
"I wonder how to deal with the matter, Yi Lu Xianggong?"
Yan Shu leaned forward, looked at Xu Ping, and lowered his voice: "According to the intention of Xianggong Lu, although the branch officials were making trouble, the capital also knew that it was because they were greedy and the Zhengshi Hall did not want to pay. However, the amount of flying tickets in Henan Prefecture was too large, and the Sansi could not repay them. Now he was in the Zhengshi Hall to find a way. I think you have heard of Xianggong Wang's idea, and it coincides with your meaning. I will not repeat it. Xianggong Lu's idea is to stabilize the price of silk, and the Sansi shop printed more shopping coupons, and there were too many things that were not sure about it. I was afraid of accidents. I would rather not do this and just cancel the bill."
After a while, Xu Ping asked Yan Shu: "Bachelor, what if I don't agree?"
