As the saying goes, scarcity is precious The appearance of the mirror is the first time in both the Tang Dynasty and Goguryeo, and I have long been accustomed to the blurring of the bronze mirror, and suddenly I saw such a clear reflection, as long as it is a person's first reaction is that this thing should be priceless.
This is the same reason as when the Eight-Nation Coalition first entered Beijing, giving Cixi a car.
In the eyes of our people now, it seems a bit petty to give a car to the queen mother of a country, but in China at that time, that car was almost the only existence of the scorpion baba poison, and its value was far from being measured by money.
In the same way, a mirror placed more than 1,300 years ago was an incomparable treasure to the people of the time, much more valuable than any pearl agate, although it was actually only burned from some broken stone.
So Pei Xingjian entered the mansion of the Prime Minister of Goguryeo almost effortlessly, and at the same time received a warm hospitality.
During the banquet, even the prime minister's wife and young lady showed their faces and toasted Pei Xingjian, a disciple of the King of Ease, with a glass of wine.
Of course, this is not to say that Kim Seung-woo has the intention of marrying a daughter, but the temptation of the mirror is too great, and Mrs.
Jin and Miss Kim really want Xiao Pei to send two more faces.
When the wine has passed three rounds, the wine and food are full, and someone has served tea, Jin Chengyou asked with a smile: "Little brother Pei, the king of Xiaoyao County has been doing well recently."
"Prime Minister Jin, the family teacher has been fine recently, and when he came, he specially instructed me to ask you for more benefits."
Pei Xingjian coped with the scene easily, compared to doing business, such a formulaic conversation undoubtedly made him more adaptable.
The sedan chair is on the stage, Pei Xingjian held Jin Chengyou and said, Jin Chengyou naturally can't just stand it, and he still wants to be polite, so he smiled and waved his hand: "Hey, what the King of Xiaoyao County said is too much, with a gentleman like him, why should little brother Pei ask others for advice." ” Pei Xingjian continued to be polite: "Hehe, Prime Minister Jin Cheng's humility is admirable, no wonder Mr. keeps telling his juniors that you are his only confidant in Goguryeo." ” Speaking of knowing, Jin Chengyou's heart twitched, and the scenes of Li Muyun's time in the royal capital resurfaced, just like yesterday.
After he sighed for a while, he seemed to think of something, looked at Pei Xingjian and asked, "Little brother Pei, I don't know why you came to Goguryeo."
"Oh, that's right."
Pei Xingjian put away his smile and said: "The main reason why Mr. asked me to come to Goguryeo is to develop the international market, industrialize, collectivize, and internationalize mining, real estate, light textile and other businesses. ” Pei Xingjian, who inherited Li Muyun's mouth and skin, spoke straight for a quarter of an hour, and Jin Chengyou was dizzy when he listened to it, and there was no other reaction except for nodding his head again and again.
Finally, when he finished speaking, nearly a quarter of an hour later, Lao Jin asked with some uncertainty: "Little Brother Pei means that he came to Goguryeo this time to do business."
"Yes, it's mainly real estate and mining."
Pei Xingjian replied with a smile.
Kim Seung-woo frowned: "I don't know how King Xiaoyao plans to do mining business in our Goguryeo."
Pei Xingjian said bluntly: "You can use the way of cooperation, you and I can jointly invest in the development of iron, blackstone, jade and other businesses, as for the specific details of cooperation, I think if it is convenient for the Prime Minister, you can introduce some families and nobles of your country for the younger generation, and then you can sit down and discuss it." ” "Hiss" Jin Chengyou took a breath of cold air, and wanted to refuse directly, but when the words came to his lips, he caught a glimpse of Mrs.
Jin gesturing to him behind the screen, so he temporarily changed his words and said: "If this is the case, Brother Pei will give the old man some time, and after five days, how about giving you an accurate answer" Pei Xingjian smiled slightly, got up and hugged his fists and thanked: "The junior obeyed the order and thanked the prime minister." ” was not directly rejected, which was greatly unexpected by Pei Xingjian, it seems that the small mirror before did not seem to be given away in vain, so Zhao's shopkeeper's idea is still reliable.
Jin Chengyou also felt that the topic was almost over at this time, and he didn't drink the tea cup on the table, so he glanced at Pei Xingjian.
Pei Xingjian still understands the principle of serving tea to guests, and after seeing Lao Jin's actions, he said goodbye with a smile, which can be regarded as the end of this visit.
When he left with the Xiong brothers who were guarding outside, Mrs.
Jin turned out from behind the screen, came to Jin Chengyou's side and sat down and said: "Master, you are really, what a good opportunity this is, why don't you know how to seize it, if it weren't for the concubine to stop you, I'm afraid that you have been pushed out of the door by the God of Wealth." ” "What do you know as a woman, Li Muyun is sinister and cunning, if there is no benefit, how can he send someone to cooperate with us."
Jin Chengyou sighed, and when he saw that his wife seemed to want to say something more, he waved his hand to stop it, and continued: "Besides, there is no need to cooperate with them Datang at all, and our own development is actually not the same, so why bother to cheapen them." ” After listening to Jin Chengyou's words, Mrs.
Jin rolled her eyes: "Oh, master, don't talk about it, you also develop it yourself, if you develop it yourself, when will it be your turn, it will be a big business, if we Goguryeo develop it ourselves, I am afraid that in addition to the five mattresses, others will not want to get a piece of the pie." ” Jin Chengyou snorted angrily: "That's better than selling the ancestral family business, knowing that Li Muyun is uneasy and kind, do we still have to be fooled?"
Mrs.
Jin was also a little angry at this time, and stood up and shouted: "What are you fooled, how can you be fooled, return the ancestral family business, which of those things in the field is left to you by your ancestors and don't make money, but stay there for others to dig up, are you really stupid?"
"If I want to say that the Tang people want to come, let them come, and when the time comes, everyone will develop those minerals together, with the participation of their Tang people, maybe you can also make a profit from it, and save the money when the time comes, this is the family business that you, the ancestor, left for future generations."
I have to say that this pillow wind is indeed very abnormal, and Kim Seung-woo, who was originally still dedicated to the public, thinking that Goguryeo's minerals could only be dug by Goguryeo's own people, unconsciously fell into hesitation.
The last time Li Muyun left, he left him 20,000 yuan of money, and later he handed it all over to the court, but in the end, he didn't get any benefits, and the money went into the pockets of many irrelevant people, and did not enter the treasury, so Jin Chengyou felt that he was a fool.
Now, the opportunity has come again, whether to do what his wife said, find all the people to discuss the matter of cooperation with Li Muyun, or drive the people sent by Li Muyun out of the royal capital, has become a very tricky matter
