Please vote for the month Chapter 865 We need a good friend Yang Shunhui actually knows very well what is happening in Muping City now, and he also feels very uncomfortable. When he received the first gift from the people of the Opuru Empire, he was absolutely I didn't expect that I would be so entangled. On one side are good friends who have sent countless gold and silver treasures, and on the other side are the people of Sui Dynasty. How to manage it? At first, Yang Shun would simply pretend to be deaf and mute, pretending that these things did not exist and leave it to the local government to deal with. If he offended the local people, he would be scolded. If he offended the foreigners, he would suffer. The bright gold has dazzled his eyes. The saying "Be soft on others" has been completely confirmed by him. But later, when the foreigners put pressure on him, Yang Shunhui could no longer pretend to be deaf and dumb. Last time, the foreigner injured the salesman in the street. He wanted to ignore it, but the Marquis of the Opuru Empire named Cleo came directly to his door and said that if he didn't care, the friendship between the two countries would come to an end. . The merchants of the Opulu Empire will completely withdraw from Muping. There are no merchants from Dongchu anymore. How dare Yang Shunhui lose foreigners again? That¡¯s a business that makes a lot of money every day. But once this kind of thing starts, it can't be stopped at all. The first time I surrendered in front of Marquis Cleo, the second time, the third time, and the fourth time came very quickly. Does Yang Shun not know the disadvantages of continuing like this? Foreigners are becoming more and more domineering in Muping, and the people are complaining, but what can he do? If you really speak to the people, the loss will be too great. The thing that can change a person's thinking the fastest and most greatly is money. The thing that can destroy a person's self the fastest and most greatly is desire. When a person's greed has reached this point, he can no longer control himself. Moreover, now it is not just a matter of greed, but an exchange of dominance. The foreigners have now completely taken the initiative. Unless Yang Shun turns against him, the foreigners will become more and more arrogant. But how could Yang Shun be willing to fall out? At noon, after having dinner with Cleo, he sent someone to pick up some of the most outstanding brothel girls in the city. Now that Cleo is dancing in the backyard of his house, looking majestic and grand. The residence of a general turned out to be a place for foreigners to show off their prostitution during the day. It would be wrong to say that Yang Shunhui himself was not angry, but he had gradually transformed from a general into a slave of money. For him personally, this is a war, and the loser is conscience and dignity. Seeing the displeasure on Yang Shunhui's face, his aide Dong An stepped forward and poured a cup of tea for Yang Shunhui: "General, are you troubled by the recent security situation on the streets?" Yang Shunhui now places more emphasis on Dong An. This guy is a smart guy and he can talk. When it comes to dealing with foreigners, Dong An basically came up with 80% of his ideas, which suited Yang Shunhui's taste. So Yang Shun would simply leave all matters related to foreigners to Dong An and just take care of the cash. "You too!" Yang Shunhui sighed and said: "Last time when the people made trouble, you just sent people to drive them away. Why did you leave a few of my soldiers to protect the stalls for the foreigners? You don't have to think about it to know that the people You may scold me in private, Yang Shunhui! If this happens again, don't be so brainless!" "My general!" Dong An said innocently: "You can't help but fight those unscrupulous people. I know that when the Dongchu people were here, they used to make us Sui people arrogant, but Dongchu was weak, so they tolerated everything. But the businessmen of the Opulu Empire were different. They really came here to make things easier. "Yes, I don't care about business at all, otherwise why are the prices of goods so much cheaper than those of Dongchu merchants?" "That's why foreigners are angry. Think about it, why are Dongchu merchants so polite?" They want us Sui people to do business and make us rich by buying their goods, so of course we have to be polite. But foreigners are not here. They come here for friendship, and the prices of goods are set so low that they may have traveled across the ocean. How much sincerity does this show if you can¡¯t recoup the cost of sending it over? " "They came with sincerity, but what about those unscrupulous people in Mouping City? Is it too much for them to drink a bottle of wine for nothing? ? It's not too much. He grabbed his collar and refused to let go. If it were the case, I would be angry. How much is a bottle of wine worth? " Yang Shunhui was stunned for a moment and thought. This makes sense: "That's right the people from the Opuru Empire really don't come here to make money." Dong An said: "That's right! They are here to make friends, and they have already regarded us as friends. Friends. What is it? If I go to a friend¡¯s house to have a drink, and my friend asks me for money, this friend will definitely not be able to continue the relationship. ¡± ¡°So¡± ?An An glanced at Yang Shunhui's face, smiled and said: "The best way to deal with these unruly people is not to be lenient, but to stop them decisively. Only by letting them understand what hospitality is, can we learn from foreigners." In exchange for more benefits, these unscrupulous people are stupid and cannot think clearly about this. If they offend the foreigners because of their troubles, it is a small gain. General, you see, there are so many people in the city, it is really troublesome. "How many people are there?" Dong An said: "There are just a few people. These people are actually unruly people at heart. We Sui people didn't bully the people of Dong Chu very often. Was it because we felt that we should bully people at home?" What's wrong with outsiders? Such people just need to be taught a lesson and they won't dare to do it next time." Yang Shunhui nodded: "In any case, it is better to have fewer such things. It makes people feel bullied. I'd better leave these things to you and try to appease both parties. " Dong An smiled with relief, knowing that he had once again successfully completed the task assigned by the foreigner. What does it mean to work for the people of the Opuru Empire? Represents gold and silver treasures! "I'm tired. You can see Cleo off when he comes out in a while. Send a team of people directly to the inn. Don't let the people who want to cause trouble disturb him." Yang Shunhui rubbed the corners of his eyebrows and stood up. Dong An stood up with him and said tentatively: "General, I think we can't lose our grace. Although Cleo is more domineering, her heart in making friends is sincere. You can't be stingy with your friends. They are gifts from others. There are enough gifts, how about choose a suitable house in the city to give to him? This business is not something that can be done in a day or two. There is no doubt that the friendship between the two countries will last forever. Since Cleo is a member of the Opulu Empire, It is reasonable for our representative who is stationed in Muping City to give a house as a gift." "That's fine." Yang Shunhui nodded: "Go ahead and make arrangements, choose a suitable one to buy, and tell the accountant how much it costs. I¡¯ll approve it later.¡± ¡°My subordinates will take care of it!¡± Dong An smiled and said, it¡¯s great that another amount of money has been received. ¡ ¡ ¡ ¡ ¡ Backyard Cleo slapped the brothel woman¡¯s butt hard, and the snap was particularly loud. The woman screamed in pain, and Cleo laughed and stood up. He seemed very satisfied. After getting up, he breathed a long sigh of relief and then ordered outside: "Go tell General Yang Shunhui that I am going back." His Chinese is not standard, but he can do this in a few months. The level is not too bad either. After arriving in Muping, Cleo has been forcing herself to learn Chinese, not only forcing herself, but also forcing her subordinates to learn Chinese. Because he knew very well that as an advance guard sent by Emperor Leman, learning Chinese would be of great help in the future. He stipulated that as long as the conversation is in Muping City, unless there are confidential matters, the conversation should be in Chinese as much as possible, and he should become fluent in Chinese as soon as possible. Dong An waited outside the door for a long time. When he heard Cleo speak, he quickly pushed the door in from the outside with a flattering smile: "My respected Lord Marquis, are you satisfied with today's arrangements?" Cleo smiled. Said: "Master Dong understands my thoughts best. He has even figured out what kind of woman I like. Sigh People like you are too scary, so I can only be friends with you, and absolutely cannot be enemies." Dong An quickly said: "How could we become enemies? You are my best friend, just like a family member." "Haha" Cleo laughed: "Where is General Yang Shunhui?" "He drank too much and went back to sleep. "Get off." "Yeah" Cleo winked, and Dong An immediately kicked the brothel girls out. Now Dong An, the foreign master knew what he meant with just one look. "Yang Shunhui, I still need you to keep an eye on me." Cleo said while putting on his coat: "Our great Emperor of the Aupulu Empire sincerely hopes to establish friendly relations with the Sui Dynasty. You can also see our sincerity. . But now I still haven't seen anyone from the Sui Dynasty have any contact with me. I keep asking Yang Shunhui, and he always says that I don't care what your memorial is, I just want to be with you as soon as possible. Let¡¯s meet with the Sui royal family.¡± Dong Anxin said that there is no better way to find the Sui royal family. The little emperor in the city would have been under house arrest for a long time. The death of the little emperor is still a secret, so Dong An doesn't know about it. In his opinion, the bottom line was that Yang Shun would dare to privately open Muping City to let foreigners in, and it was absolutely impossible to let foreigners continue to go to the Central Plains. Yang Shunhui is really stubborn in some aspects. Dong An has persuaded him several times to agree to the foreigners' demands.??, let them go directly to Chang'an with the goods. Anyway, no one in the Central Plains can control Mou Ping now, so why not? But Yang Shunhui just didn't agree and didn't know what he was afraid of. "Don't worry, Lord Marquis, I will continue to persuade Yang Shun to do it." Dong An replied with a smile, but he knew in his heart that this matter was not easy to handle. "Dong An, my friend." Cleo pointed outside: "You can take me home." "Yes" Dong An nodded and followed him out the door. The two people passed through the General's Mansion and got on the carriage outside the front yard gate. Cleo ordered someone to give the coachman a few gold coins, and said that he wanted to try driving the coach himself. The coachman had never seen a foreigner be so polite. He looked at the heavy gold coins in his hand and hesitated for a while. He thought to himself that the carriage was not worth so much gold anyway, so he simply agreed. A foreigner escorted the carriage. After the carriage started, Cleo suddenly glanced at Dong An: "Dong An, do you know why I gave Yang Shunhui so many gifts? That's because I think he can become a friend. The sacrifice of a friend It's mutual, and we naturally hope to get Yang Shunhui's goodwill. But now, he has not been able to help me contact the people of the Sui Dynasty. I now suspect that he is just greedy for our gold. I know that most of the gold was a gift to the Sui Emperor. Tell me, did Yang Shunhui really send it to Chang'an?" Dong An couldn't answer, so he just smiled awkwardly. "My friend, we people from the Opuru Empire are not fools. We are willing to make friends but are not willing to be deceived. If we can still only do business in Muping City, then the great Emperor Lyman will punish me. If I If you die, your good days are over. So, I want to ask my friend, are you brave enough? " "What do you mean?" Dong An's face changed, and he couldn't help but feel nervous. . "We are not inseparable from Yang Shunhui, but we cannot do without good friends. If Yang Shunhui cannot be friends, then we hope that people who are truly willing to be friends with us will be responsible for business matters. If Yang Shunhui is not willing to help, Then I hope someone can help us" He glanced at Dong An, smiled and said, "You should understand what I mean, right? If you are solely responsible for the business affairs of the Opuru Empire, then you will How much benefit will we get? Think about it, if you are willing to do that, we will give you certain support. I know you are worried about Yang Shun's army How to put it? Oh yes! It's cultivation!" "Don't ignore the strength of Emperor Leman. Since we are here, we naturally have a certain understanding of you Sui people. A human practitioner Emperor Lyman has already thought of a good way. " "You don't know how to practice." Cleo patted Dong An on the shoulder: "This is better. We hope someone will not use violence. People should manage Mu Ping, not someone who may damage the friendship between the two countries. Just think about it carefully. I will wait for your answer." At this moment, Dong An's face turned pale. ???????????????????????????????????
