Chapter 1178 What Do You Think of Him, Sir?
The one who is more anxious than Zheng Li is naturally the Generalissimo Ku. Just kidding, if the army is really expanded by 30,000, who can get more benefits than him?
So, after listening to Huan Yin's words, he stood up and clapped his hands fiercely.
Not long after, there was a noise outside. Huan Yin turned around and saw a soldier walking in between the swaying curtains of the big tent, holding a storage bag in his hand.
The soldier trotted up to Huan Yin, handed the storage bag to Huan Yin with great respect, saluted and then retreated.
Zheng Li looked confused, but when he looked at Ku and saw the glint in Ku's eyes, he understood immediately. So, he hurriedly said to Huan Yin: "Master Yan, since the last time we said goodbye, the Marshal and I both feel that we are very close to each other. We really regret meeting each other so late. In the past year and a half, we have been talking to each other all the time. I have been thinking about seeing you again, and now I finally see it. These ten million immortal jade are a gift for our reunion, and I hope you will accept it. "
After listening to Zheng Li's words, Huan Yin's consciousness quietly poked out. When he found out that the storage bag sent by Zheng Li was filled with fairy jade, he was stunned for a moment.
"Good guy, could it be that the material I made up is a bit too strong?" Huan Yin felt even more funny in his heart. He originally wanted to make something up to dispel the suspicion of the two people in front of him, but he didn't expect the effect to be so good. The other party actually started to bribe and started to be grateful.
However, Huan Yin was stunned for only a moment, because he knew that he couldn't show too much strangeness now, otherwise he would arouse suspicion. He quickly looked at Ku and Zheng Li, and repeatedly declined: "This...how can I do this? I can only do it with a little effort, not to mention that I haven't asked the two adults for their opinions. If the two adults are satisfied, I am already very satisfied." Happy."
As he spoke, Huan Yin pushed the storage bag he got to Zheng Li.
When Ku and Zheng Li saw this, they looked at each other. First, Ku bowed to Huan Yin with a solemn fist, and then Zheng Li sent the storage bag to Huan Yin again, saying: "What we respect is your lord's style of killing first and then telling the story. If you are not a courageous person, how can you do this? Your lord has taken great trouble to share the emperor's worries and strive for the opportunity to make contributions to our Western Eight Heavens. In the future, if your lord treats me, Western Eight Heavens, If you have any ideas, you can tell Emperor Ming first like this, sir, take it!"
Zheng Li spoke so impassionedly that even Huan Yin was surprised by his eloquence. While Zheng Li was talking, he was thinking: "Give me another hundred good things like this, and just cut them off first and tell them later!"
Ku nodded repeatedly, obviously very satisfied with Zheng Li's words, and thought that he had chosen the right person. To deal with Huan Yin, the traveling envoy, Zheng Li really had to do it. He also remembered what Zheng Li said before. Zheng Li said that he had given Huan Yin a big gift last time, so he didn't have to worry about Huan Yin secretly causing trouble. It seems that it is true.
Seeing Ku and Zheng Li looking like this, Huan Yin was extremely sure that his first purpose here had been completely achieved. Both Ku and Zheng Li were obviously attracted by the so-called great achievements made up by Huan Yin, and they believed everything Huan Yin said. In this case, how could they still suspect that Huan Yin returned half a year late, and how could they have the heart to doubt it?
Although he was secretly happy in his heart, Huan Yin still pretended to be embarrassed on the surface and said: "But the marshal gave me such a precious gift last time, and now he gives me fairy jade, this... Is this appropriate?"
Hearing Huan Yin's softened tone, Zheng Li immediately stuffed the storage bag back into Huan Yin's hand. He knew very well that it was better to give this gift, because Huan Yin was short-handed and would help them more in the future. Moreover, what is this mere gift compared to the expansion of the army by 30,000?
"Sir, we hit it off immediately, why should we be so alienated?" Zheng Li said.
Huan Yin finally put away the storage bag with some embarrassment, and said: "Now your Majesty is asking people to count the casting materials sent from the southern eight days. After the statistics are completed, the amount of actinic essence needed will be It’s clear. When the time comes, he will tell me his needs and I will convey them to the two adults.”
Ku nodded repeatedly, and Zheng Li asked: "Sir, may I ask how long it will take for the results to be available, so that we can prepare in advance. After all, it is an important matter for the emperor and his family, and we dare not neglect it."
Huan Yin said: "Master Zheng is really thoughtful. In my opinion, the result will come out in about ten days. Sir, please rest assured. After receiving the news, I will inform you as soon as possible." . However, based on what I have learned so far, the amount of actinic essence he wants this time should be quite shocking. You two adults should prepare more manpower in advance. Also, you must find a reliable person to handle this. If something goes wrong, we will end up following the same fate as the Eight Days in the South."
The mining of actinic chemicals is the specialty of Western Eight Days. What's more, this matter has always been handled by Kong's cronies, big merchants in the army. So Zheng Li patted his chest and said: "Your Excellency, please rest assured. To be honest, we still have a lot of inventory and can provide it directly. If the demand is really large, one of our Lord's confidants will supervise this matter." , absolutely reliable.”
After hearing Zheng Li's words, Huan Yin knew that he had successfully brought up the topic of the second thing he wanted to do. So, he seized the opportunity and said: "Ah, I did hear someone say that the actinic concentrate mining in the eight days in the west has always been supervised by a close aide of the marshal, and it is very reliable. Moreover, I also heard It is said that this person's business talent is amazing, he is a rare business wizard, and he runs a huge business. "
Both Ku and Zheng Li were silent for a moment, because after all, the big merchants in the military were their secrets. However, they thought that since Huan Yin knew it, it didn't matter, so Zheng Li said: "Your Excellency is really well-informed. We also follow the locals and do as the Romans do, so we trained such a person. And you also know that in the West, business is the most important thing." Great, if we have such a talent, it will be easier for us to understand the sentiments of the people.”
Huan Yin nodded and said: "Yes, cultivating talents is the key. It is also because of the lack of business talents that your Majesty asked me to investigate the situation of Miss Mandala Tianyan. By the way, it has been a year and a half now. How is the development of the Yan family? Has it met the standards we agreed on before? "
Huan Yin suddenly mentioned Donghuang Yu'er, but Zheng Li felt that it was not sudden at all. In order to suppress the Eastern Royal Family, Rong secretly operated for a full year and a half. So on this issue, Zheng Li had naturally prepared his excuse for Huan Yin. So soon, a look of sadness appeared on Zheng Li's face, and he sighed and said: "It seems... it's still far away. Your Excellency can go to Mandala Heaven to check this matter in person."
Hearing Zheng Li's answer, Huan Yin's face showed obvious surprise, as if he was unwilling to accept the result. But soon, the surprise gradually turned into disappointment, and I heard Huan Yin say: "Hey, it's just a trivial matter, can you two adults still lie to me? It seems that what you two adults told me at the beginning is not true. Frankly speaking. To tell you the truth, after listening to your comments about Miss Yan, I already had some premonitions about today's outcome. However, I always hope it won't be like this. Otherwise, I will be ordered to come to the West to be your king for eight days. When selecting talents, how do you pay the job?”
At this point, Huan Yin sighed heavily and said: "It is originally a small matter, but if I can't do it, your Majesty will definitely blame me for not doing the job well. But if you promote Miss Yan, it will be like passing off a good thing. If something goes wrong in the future, I won’t be able to walk around without food... ugh!”
When Zheng Li saw Huan Yin lamenting repeatedly, he suddenly thought of the talent Huan Yin mentioned before, so he had an idea and said quickly: "Master Yan, don't you just want a business talent? Miss Yan can't do it, but you can Recommend someone else. As long as that person is really capable, you can do the job, right?"
Huan Yin raised his eyes and looked at Zheng Li and said: "What your lord said is true. If I can recommend real talents, not only will your Majesty not blame me, but you will also say that I am effective in doing things and that I have a keen eye for people. It's just... …How can there be so many talents? How can you just meet the people your Majesty wants?”
Zheng Li turned to look at Ku. Although he said nothing, their eyes had communicated countless times. At the end, Zheng Li said: "Sir, didn't you just say that we have trained a reliable business talent, what do you think of him?"
