Chapter 865

Ask for a monthly ticket

Yang Shunhui knew what Muping city was like now, and he was also very uncomfortable. When he received his first gift from the people of the opru Empire, he never thought he would be tangled like this. On the one hand, there are good friends who send countless gold and silver treasures, and on the other hand, there are people of the great Sui Dynasty. How do you manage?

At first, Yang Shun simply pretended to be deaf and dumb. As these things did not exist, he just handed them over to the local government. He offended the local people. He was scolded and offended the foreigners. He suffered losses. The Yellow Gold has dazzled his eyes, and the sentence of taking others' soft hands has been completely confirmed on him.

But later, when foreigners put pressure on him, Yang Shunhui couldn't pretend to be deaf and dumb anymore. The last time the foreigner hurt the salesman in the street, he wanted to leave it alone, but the Marquis of the oplu Empire called Cleo came directly to the door and said that if he didn't care, the friendship between the two countries would come to an end. The merchants of the oplu empire will withdraw from Muping completely. How dare Yang Shunhui lose foreigners again when there are no Eastern Chu merchants?

That's a day-to-day business.

But once this kind of thing starts, it can't stop at all. I had my first submission in front of marquis Cleo, and the second, third and fourth came soon. Yang Shunhui doesn't know the disadvantages of going on like this. Foreigners are becoming more and more domineering in Muping. People complain, but what can he do?

If you really talk to the people, the loss will be too great.

There is nothing that can change a person's mind faster and more than money. The fastest and greatest thing that can destroy a person's self is desire.

When a person's greed has reached this stage, he can't even control himself. Moreover, up to now, it is not just a matter of greed, but an exchange of dominance. Foreigners have now completely taken the initiative. Unless Yang Shun will turn his face, foreigners will become more and more arrogant.

However, how can Yang Shun turn over?

At noon, after dinner with Cleo, he sent someone to pick up some of the most brilliant brothel girls in the city. Now Cleo is in the backyard of his house. The residence of a great general in the great Sui Dynasty has become a place for foreigners to publicize adultery in the daytime. It's wrong to say that Yang Shunhui is not angry in his heart, But he has gradually changed from a general to a slave of money. Personally, it was a war, losing conscience and dignity.

Seeing the displeasure on Yang Shunhui's face, Dong An, his staff, gathered forward and poured a cup of tea for Yang Shunhui: "general, is it because of the recent public security on the street?"

Yang Shunhui now places more and more importance on Dong an. He is a smart guy and can speak. In dealing with foreigners, basically 80% of Dong An's ideas are in line with Yang Shunhui's appetite. Therefore, Yang Shun will simply hand over all matters related to foreigners to Dong an and just take the money.

"You too!"

Yang Shunhui sighed and said, "last time the people made trouble, you should send someone to drive away. Why do you leave some of my own soldiers to protect the stall for foreigners? Don't think about it. The people can't tell me how to scold Yang Shunhui in private! Don't be so brainless in the future!"

"My general!"

Dong An said innocently: "Those crafty people can't do without fighting... You know, when Dongchu people were there, they used to show the arrogance of our Sui people, but Dongchu was weak, so they were tolerant everywhere. But the merchants of the opru Empire were different. They really came for good business, and they didn't care much about business. Otherwise, why the price of goods was so much cheaper than that of Dongchu merchants ？”

"Foreigners are angry here. Think about it. Why are Dongchu businessmen polite? Because they begged us Sui people to do business and pointed to us to buy their goods to make a fortune. Naturally, they want to be polite. But foreigners are not. They came for friendship. The price of goods is so low. Maybe they can't recover the cost when they are sent across the sea. How big is this Sincerity? "

"They came with sincerity, but what about the unruly people in Mouping city? Did they drink a pot of wine for nothing because they took advantage of others? It's not too much. I'm even angry if I don't let go by the collar of others' clothes. How much is a pot of wine worth? We can't afford this pot of wine?"

Yang Shun was stunned for a moment and thought Dong An's words were reasonable: "yes... People from the opru Empire really didn't come to earn money."

Dong An said, "that's right! People come to make friends, and they already regard us as friends. What are friends? If I go to a friend's house to drink a pot of wine, but my friend asks me for money, this friend can't continue to make friends."

"So..."

Dong 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 immediately. Only by letting them know what hospitality is, can they get more benefits from foreigners. These unruly people are stupid and can't think through this. If they offend foreigners because of their trouble, it's a small loss. You see, there are so many people in the city, it's really noisy How many? "

Dong An said, "there are only a few people. In fact, these people are tricksters in their bones. At the beginning, we Sui people bullied the people of the eastern Chu state less? Isn't it because we think it's nothing to bully outsiders at home? Such people only need to teach a lesson, and we won't dare next time."

Yang Shun nodded: "anyway, it's better to have fewer such things. Although the Sui Dynasty is not as good as before, it can't make people feel deceived. These things are still left to you and try to appease both sides."

"Subordinates understand."

Dong an smiled relieved and knew that he had successfully done what the foreigners had told him again. What does it mean to work for the people of the opru Empire? Represents gold and silver treasure!

"I'm tired. Cleo will come out later. Send a team directly to the post station. Don't let the people who want to make trouble disturb him."

Yang Shun would rub his eyebrows and get up.

Dong an stood up with her and said tentatively: "General, I don't think we can lose our demeanor. Cleo is bossy, but he is sincere in making friends. He can't be stingy with friends, and people give him enough gifts. Why not... Choose a suitable house in the city? This business is not a day or two, and the friendship between the two countries can't last forever. Since Cleo is opruti It is also reasonable for the permanent representative of the people's Republic of China in Muping city to send a house. "

"Good"

Yang Shun nodded: "you go and arrange. Choose a suitable one to buy. How much money did you spend? Tell the cashier and I'll approve it later."

"My subordinates will do well!"

Dong an smiled and said in his heart that another sum of silver had been paid in. It's good.

Cleo patted the brothel woman's ass hard. The slap was particularly loud. The woman cried out in pain. Cleo laughed and stood up. He seemed very satisfied. After getting up, he took a long sigh of relief, and then ordered the outside: "go tell General Yang Shunhui that I'm going back."

His Chinese is not very standard, but it's not too bad to have this level in a few months. After Muping, Cleo has been forcing himself to learn Chinese, not only forcing himself, but also forcing his subordinates to learn Chinese. Because he knows very well that as an advance army sent by Lyman the great, learning Chinese will be of great help in the future.

He stipulated that as long as it is in Muping City, unless it is confidential, the dialogue should use Chinese as much as possible and speak Chinese fluently as soon as possible.

Dong'an waited outside the door for a long time. When he heard Cleo talking, he quickly flattered and smiled and pushed the door in from the outside: "my dear Marquis, are you still satisfied with today's arrangement?"

Cleo smiled and said, "Lord Dong knows my mind best. I even know what kind of woman I like. Alas... People like you are terrible, so I can only be friends with you, never enemies."

Dong an hurriedly said, "how can we become enemies? You are my best friend, just like my relatives."

"Ha ha"

Cleo smiled, "where's General Yang Shunhui?"

"He drank too much and went back to sleep."

"Well"

Cleo winked, and Dong'an immediately kicked the brothel women out. Now Dong'an, the foreigner's master knew what he meant with a look in his eyes.

"Yang Shunhui's side still needs you to stare."

Cleo said as he put on his coat: "Our great emperor of the oplu Empire sincerely hopes to establish friendly relations with the great Sui Dynasty, and you can see our sincerity. But up to now... I still haven't seen any contact between the people of the great Sui Dynasty and me. I keep asking Yang Shunhui, and he always says that he has written a memorial. I don't care what your memorial is, I just want to see you as soon as possible Face. "

Dong Anxin said that it would be better to find the royal family of the great Sui Dynasty. The little emperor in the city was afraid that he had long been under house arrest. The news of the little emperor's death is still a secret, so Dong an didn't know it. In his opinion, Yang Shun would dare to open Muping city privately. It is the bottom line to let foreigners in. It is absolutely impossible for them to continue to go to the Central Plains.

Yang Shunhui is really stubborn in some places. Dong An has persuaded him several times to agree to the requirements of foreigners and let them go directly to Chang'an with goods. Anyway, no one in the Central Plains can control Mou Ping. Why not? But Yang Shunhui just refused and didn't know what to fear.

"Don't worry, marquis. I will continue to persuade Yang Shunhui."

Dong an answered with a smile, but she knew it was hard to do.

"Dong An, my friend."

Cleo pointed out, "take me home."

"Yes"

Dong'an nodded and followed him out of the door. The two men passed through the general's house and got on the carriage outside the front yard gate. Cleo ordered the coachman to give him a few gold coins and said he wanted to try his own car. The coachman didn't see the foreigner being so polite. Looking at the heavy gold coins in his hand, he hesitated for a moment, saying that the carriage was not worth so much gold anyway, so he simply agreed.

A foreigner escorted the car. After the car started, Cleo suddenly looked at Dong an: "Dong An, do you know why I give so many gifts to Yang Shunhui? That's because I think he can become a friend. Friends pay each other, and we naturally hope to get Yang Shunhui's kindness. But now, he hasn't been able to help me get in touch with your royal family in the Sui Dynasty. I doubt that he is greedy for our gold. Want to know I know the gold, but most of it is a gift for the emperor of the Sui Dynasty. Tell me, did Yang Shunhui really send it to Chang'an? "

Dong an was really hard to answer, but smiled awkwardly.

"My friend, the people of our opru empire are not fools. We are willing to make friends, but we don't want to be deceived. If we can only do business in Muping City, the great Lyman emperor will punish me. If I die, your good days will come to an end. 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 pulling it in his heart.

"We are not inseparable from Yang Shunhui, but from good friends. If Yang Shunhui can't be friends, then we hope that real people who are willing to be friends with us will be responsible for business. If Yang Shunhui is unwilling to help, then I hope someone can help us..."

He glanced at Dong An, smiled and said: "You should understand what I mean? If you are in charge of the business affairs of the opru Empire, how much benefit will you get? We only give such benefits to friends. Think about it, if you are willing to do that, we will give you some support. I know you are worried about Yang Shunhui's army and Yang Shunhui's... How to say? Oh, yes! It's Xiuwei! "

"Don't ignore the strength of Lyman the great. Since we are here, we naturally have a certain understanding of you Sui people. Therefore, we are still prepared for some things. To deal with your practitioners of Sui people... Lyman the great has thought of a good way."

"You don't understand practice."

Cleo patted Dong an on the shoulder: "this is better. We hope that a person who will not use violence will manage Muping, not a person who may destroy the friendship between the two countries, and continue to sit down in that chair. Think about it and I'll wait for your answer."

This moment

Dong An's face was pale.

bathed in sweat.
