Chapter 645 Stubbornness

"Dong dong dong." There was a knock on the door.

"Come in." In the study, Yang Shu ate a plate of fried beans while leaning on a chair and flipping through a thick account book with one hand. He let the outsider in without looking up.

The one who came in was the guest minister who Yang Shu relied on the most, smiling and looking energetic.

Although Yang Shu said many times not to be too polite to him in the mansion, Ke Qing never dared to be negligent, and said after politely saluting: "My lord, Mr. Li just left, and left a post saying that he would like to ask you out for free." When you are drinking, I specially prepared immortal wine for you."

"Tsk tsk, Immortal Brew? Li Chun is a bit interesting. He blatantly invites me to drink Immortal Brew? What is his identity? He invites me to drink a jar of wine that costs hundreds of thousands of silver? No white identity? Hmph, this kind of person had better get out of the way, or sooner or later he will be beheaded by this king."

It's really hard to say whether Xuan Qingwei is gray or not. After all, he is the emperor's private soldier. The emperor has the power to control life and death, and the law can't control him. But officials in the system also want to learn from Xuan Qingwei? Go dreaming!

Ke Qing was very aware of Yang Shu's temper, so he handed over a gift list and said, "My lord, this is the gift list left by Master Li. Everything on it has been rejected according to your instructions, but I said that I will have to wait for you to look at the list when you come back. stayed."

"It has a seal on it?"

"some."

"Very good. Stay here. When the time comes, we will also learn to build a file library, and put all the people who have sent good things to the king these days. Hehe, if there is a chance in the future, we will ask them all to look good."

"There will be a day when the prince is wise and mighty, and he will be able to stand out in the world."

"Okay, okay. Do you know that you self-proclaimed literati are really unreasonable when they flatter you? It's awkward! Is there anything else? If you don't have any, just leave. If there are still people coming to visit, just do as before. There's a way, I'm not here now."

Ke Qing did not leave, but persuaded: "My lord, now you have officially received the task of reducing money and food for the whole country. It can be said that you are in control. In three days, you will inspect the major cities in the country. This is the first official inspection by the prince in decades. , the significance is extraordinary. Among them, you will definitely get great benefits and recruit leaders from all over the world to strengthen your momentum.

If you don't see anyone, it may damage your reputation, and it will discourage some people who want to take refuge in you.

you see"

Yang Shu waved his hand and directly interrupted Ke Qing's words, and frowned, obviously he was very dissatisfied with Ke Qing's remarks.

"You think I, Yang Shu, need to win over a group of people with dirty hands, feet and minds to participate in my royal family's "big exam"? With those people, can I beat my six elder brothers?

Also, do you think hypocrisy, obedience and collusion mean the same thing? "

Ke Qing heard that the anger in Yang Shu's tone was unusual, and quickly knelt down to admit his mistake. But Yang Shu stood up from the chair, walked up to the Ke Qing, knelt down, looked into the other person's eyes, and said word by word: "Are you trying to tell me that big things don't care about small things? I knew it was used to deceive fools when I was young. If you can't abide by small things, how can you achieve great things? As my guest, you are also my mastermind. If you say such kind of righteous words that are nothing more than your brain, don't blame me, Yang Shu, for being ruthless face. Remember!"

"Yes! My lord! This subordinate will remember."

Yang Shu looked straight into the other's eyes.

Ke Qing didn't dare to avoid looking at her, so she could only look at Yang Shu. After ten breaths, Yang Shu's eyes became harmless again.

Sitting back on the chair, Yang Shu took a sip of the cold tea and said, "Some things can't be started, and you can't stop at the beginning. So don't blame me for being strict with you, because I can't be wrong. ah."

"My lord taught me a lesson, my subordinates just said nonsense, and I will never do it again in the future."

"Hmm. Is there anything else?" Yang Shu didn't follow the other party's words. Repeat? It doesn't matter to him, people who commit crimes again will not be given another chance, Yang Shu is just like the principle he has always abided by, and has never made an exception for anyone.

Ke Qing's back was drenched with his own cold sweat, and he didn't dare to look up, and said in response: "My lord, Fu Ji has already made an appointment for you, and the people from the Wenjiang River have also arrived, and I have booked a restaurant for the evening according to your instructions." Thank you in person, do you think you need to prepare some gifts?"

Yang Shu thought for a while, then said: "Let's do this. Install the black stone guqin that I picked up from the sea earlier. Doesn't she like to collect these strange and weird pianos? Shitou's piano is still an ancient thing, and it is said that it is not the same as theirs. It does matter, because it should be considered a great gift.

In addition, prepare another batch of treasure pills, which can be regarded as a meeting gift for those people from Wenjiang. "

"Okay my lord, I'll do it now."

Yang Shu waved his hand and continued to look at the ledger on the table. He needs to make an account of these things as soon as possible, and he will leave the imperial city in a few days, so he needs to settle the account first.

In the evening, in an unknown alley in the imperial city, a small restaurant welcomed the distinguished guests who booked the restaurant tonight. Although this restaurant is small, it is famous, but ordinary people can't afford to come here, and a simple meal can swallow the expenses of ordinary people's family for several years.

Few people know the background of the restaurant, but Yang Shu knows it because he owns the small restaurant.

Yang Shu has always been the best at eating, drinking and having fun. None of his six elder brothers can play, let alone eat. He often looks for high-quality dishes to taste fresh everywhere. While satisfying his hunger, he also helps his restaurant find inspiration for new dishes.

For example, the signature salt and pepper chicken in the tavern that Yang Shu used to go to before is also made here, but the taste is only two points worse. Of course, most people are not as picky as Yang Shu, and they can't tell the difference.

The prince invites you to dinner, which is rare for the other six princes. But Yang Shu often does this. When you think of it, you can arrange a table, exchange cups or recite poems and songs, drink orders or vegetarian wine and meat dishes, Yang Shu can accompany you very well.

Even with Fu Ji and Yang Shu, who are high-ranking monks, they can have a good chat.

Arriving at the restaurant a little earlier, I found that Fu Ji had arrived, and there were five well-dressed monks with stiff expressions in the same room.

"Hahaha, Fu Ji, it's been a long time since I've seen her, she's even more glorious!" Yang Shu greeted her with a smile as soon as she came in. Fu Ji, as a high-level executive of Yueying Building, is also his contact, and he has always made friends on an equal footing.

"My lord is absurd." It was said that she was quite old, but Fu Ji had a high level of cultivation and a good face. She looked like a mature woman at most, and she looked like she was in her fifties, so she was not old.

After a pause, Fu Ji introduced: "My lord, you haven't met these three, have you?"

"No. I met Senior Liu in Wenjiang before. I guess these are the five outstanding disciples that Senior Hu mentioned, right?" Yang Shu cupped his hands.

The five monks returned a salute and reported their families: "The disciples of the Real Man of Nine Fate City, Liu Cheng, Liu Hao, Liu Ren, Liu Wu, Liu Qing, have met His Highness Ling Wang!"
