Chapter 12 [The Lobbyist] (1)


When I met Qian Sihai, he was fishing in Rouge Lake with a friend.

It was almost noon, the sky was still gloomy, a layer of light mist and rain floated in the sky, and the scenery in front of him was hazy.

I stepped on the green grass and walked in the direction of Qian Sihai.

Qian Sihai's clothes were as gorgeous as ever.

He wore a purple robe covered with black rainproof fox fur, and wore a gold and jade-encrusted belt around his waist.

His whole body was full of elegance.

It tastes vulgar.

His friend, however, looked much simpler.

He was wearing a long green coarse cloth dress, black round-mouthed cloth shoes, and a raincoat.

On the surface, he looked like an ordinary fisherman.

The two of them did not divert their attention due to my arrival, and both stared intently at the lake.

A smile suddenly appeared on Qian Sihai's fat face: "Here we come."

The slender fishing rod suddenly bent like a bow, and under his constant pulling, a herring more than a foot long emerged from the water.

The herring tried to get away from the fish.

The fetters of the hook pulled the fishing line straight from left to right, and the lake surface was suddenly splashed with water.

His friend didn't seem to notice the changes around him.

His pair of deep eyes were still staring at the lake, and his right hand holding the fishing rod remained motionless.

I was secretly amazed that this man's endurance was truly superhuman.

The fishing line was finally torn off due to the fierce struggle of the herring.

As Qian Sihai let out a frustrated cry, the herring sank to the bottom of the lake with the hook.

His fat feet hit the ground twice before he put down the fishing rod.

He turned to me with a smile and said, "It turns out to be His Highness Prince Ping."

I smiled and nodded to him, and just as I was about to speak, I saw the fishing rod of the man in green was also bent.

Qian Sihai and I temporarily stopped talking and concentrated on watching him fish.

The man in Tsing Yi was not in a hurry, and he could retract and unwind the fishing line freely.

In just a few minutes, he successfully brought a herring about three feet long to the shore.

Qian Sihai said with envy: "Brother Guan has superb fishing skills, I am ashamed of myself."

The man in Tsing Yi smiled indifferently, tied the fish's gills with a straw rope, and said to Qian Sihai: "After all these years, you are still as eager for quick success and impatient as usual."

Listening to his words, his tone seemed to be lecturing a junior.

I wonder who this person is.

What status Qian Sihai showed an open-minded attitude and called the servant from afar to take away the herring.

After washing hands with the man in Tsing Yi, he came to me.

He first introduced the man in Tsing Yi: "This is His Royal Highness Prince Ping of Kangguo, the adopted son of the Queen."

Then he said to me: "This is My friend Mr.

Guan Shuhengguan from Qi State” I was shocked.

Guan Shuheng's name was not unfamiliar to me.

He was one of the four wealthy businessmen with the most abundant assets in the world.

He was known as the leader of the south, north, west, pan and Dongtian.

They were Guan Shuheng of Qi State; Han Baishou of Kang State; Pan Du of Jin State and Tian Xun of Qin State.

These four people control the economic lifeline of the eight countries.

No wonder Qian Sihai treats him with such respect.

Guan Shuheng smiled and said: "It turns out you are Prince Ping of Dakang.

Guan has long heard Brother Sihai praise you as a young talent.

When I see you today, you are indeed extraordinary."

My face felt slightly warm.

The deepest contact between Qian Sihai and me was that ridiculous night at Wanhua Tower.

He wouldn't publicize such a thing, right?

Qian Sihai smiled secretly, pointed to the Fengyu Pavilion in front of him and said, "Let's talk there first."

Wine sets and cold dishes had already been placed on the wooden table in the Fengyu Pavilion.

After we sat down, Qian Sihai smiled and said, "Please wait a moment, the fish will be ready soon."

I smiled and said: "It seems that Yinkong is very lucky today."

Guan Shuheng picked up the wine bottle in front of him, smelled it and said, "Brother Sihai is still so stingy.

Guan came all the way from Qi to entertain me with such low-quality wine."

Qian Sihai smiled awkwardly and said: "How can Sihai be such a stingy person?

This is the fine wine shipped from the Western Regions.

I brought it out specially to greet you."

Guan Shuheng laughed and said: "It's just a joke, why should Brother Sihai care about it?"

Qian Sihai then said to me: "How did Prince Ping know that I was fishing here?"

"Yinkong has been to the house before, and only learned about Mr.

Qian's whereabouts from the housekeeper of your house."

Qian Sihai nodded and said, "I don't know why Prince Ping wants to see me."

I looked at Guan Shuheng beside me, but didn't immediately answer Qian Sihai's question.

Qian Sihai knew that I was worried because Guan Shuheng was present, so he smiled and said, "It doesn't matter.

Brother Guan is a close friend of mine.

If you have anything to say, Prince Ping, just say it."

Guan Shuheng stood up and said, "Guan, it's better to avoid it for now.

I'll go over there to see if the fish is ready."

After saying that, he walked out of the pavilion, giving Qian Sihai and I a chance to talk alone.

Qian Sihai said: "Prince Ping, please speak."

I smiled calmly and said: "Yinkong is here to discuss a business with Boss Qian."

Qian Sihai's eyes lit up: "I would like to hear the details."

"Does Mr.

Qian know about the Jinghaitian family?"

Qian Sihai's body couldn't help but tremble slightly.

How could he not know that Jinghaitian was a wealthy businessman on par with Guan Shuheng.

Although his assets were rich and he could be regarded as one of the few people in Qin, he was different from the above two people.

It pales in comparison.

Qian Sihai said: "As far as I know, Tian Xun has been exiled to Northern Xinjiang."

I chuckled and lowered my voice: "But Tian Xun's salt field is still there."

Qian Sihai's unique keen sense of smell as a businessman immediately grasped something.

His fat face tensed up in an instant, which showed the solemnity and nervousness in his heart.

I picked up the tea cup on the table, took a sip of tea, and said slowly: "Although those salt fields were confiscated, the income is not as good as before.

The queen mother is going to subcontract these salt fields to wealthy businessmen of the Qin State."

Qian Sihai's eyes showed an extremely excited look.

This news was an irresistible temptation for him.

Everyone knew about the amazing profits of Tian's salt farm.

The reason why Tian was convicted in the first place was because Emperor Xuanlong was spying on their family.

The Tian family's huge wealth has a great relationship.

Now the property of the Tian family has been nationalized, and the family's salt farm has been converted into a government-run one.

However, the income has plummeted and it is no longer the glory it once was.

Qian Sihai frowned slightly.

He seemed to be thinking about something.

After a long time, he said, "Is there anything I can do?"

He was indeed unusual, and he immediately understood that there must be a request behind my offering such an attractive offer.

I smiled and said: "Mr.

Qian, there is no need to be suspicious.

This is the easiest thing to say.

It is for you to be a good person and accomplish a beautiful thing."

Qian Sihai looked at me with suspicion.

Naturally, he would not believe that such cheap things could happen in the world.

"Ninth Princess Yan Lin has reached the age of marriage, and the Queen intends to make a marriage contract for her."

Qian Sihai said respectfully: "I don't know which young master the queen is interested in."

"Xue Wuji, son of Prime Minister Xue Anchao" Qian Sihai suddenly realized: "The Queen has taken a fancy to Xue Weiwei."

I nodded, and a smile appeared on Qian Sihai's face.

Naturally, he would not know the real purpose of Jinghou and I.

He would probably think that Jinghou wanted to use the in-laws to win over Xue Anchao and divide the prince Yan Yuanji. within the group.

Qian Sihai said: "Why did Empress Jing choose me to be a matchmaker?"

I smiled and said, "Before I came, Queen Jing once said that Mr.

Qian is only interested in profit and understands the seriousness of the matter.

What's more, you and Xue Anchao have always been close, so you are the best candidate for this matter."

Qian Sihai was so embarrassed that he smiled and said: "Prince Ping is indeed humorous."

At this time, Guan Shuheng and a servant carrying a fish plate came over.

The fish was already ready.

Qian Sihai said: "Your Highness Prince Ping, please report back to Empress Jing for me.

This matter will be taken care of by me."
