Chapter three hundred and twentieth eight thousand miles to be an official
No matter whether you treat good people or bad people, you must have rules when doing things. The biggest taboo is not to eat alone.
Eating alone is simply the easiest form of hatred in the world. There is no reason or reason. Even if a person who has nothing to do with your interests or person sees you eating alone, he will hate you for no reason.
Regarding the hatred caused by eating alone, Gu Qing experienced a lot when he first entered society in his previous life.
At that time, he was naive and ignorant. He thought that as long as he worked hard, he would succeed. He thought that the labor value he created must be his own. He thought that every smile that his boss and colleagues saw on his face was a sign of sincerity and friendship.
After paying the salary, you don’t know how to treat guests, when you get the business commission, you don’t know how to allocate part of it to the boss, and you don’t know how to send some treats to customers during the holidays. You naively think that after you earn the first pot of gold, the second and third pots of gold will not be there.
will follow.
Reality slapped him loudly in the face, and then kicked him again, pushing him into the mud puddle and almost suffocating him. Covered in mud, he suddenly had an epiphany and finally recognized the true appearance of reality.
Later, Gu Qing learned from the pain and climbed up from the mud pit. He became more and more tactful and experienced in doing things.
Then success comes naturally.
Sitting in a separate office in a skyscraper wearing a brand-name suit, he looked at the busy traffic downstairs, which was as small as an ant. He looked at his successful self now, and when he thought back to his former self, the only thing he could remember was that he was drunk on the night of his epiphany.
Offering wine as a memorial cannot be tolerated by the naivety of reality.
When life comes to an end, the saddest thing is for your mature self to bid farewell to your innocent self.
Bian Lingcheng was surprised by Gu Qing's move. He knew about Gu Qing's policy of expanding the city. He also knew that Gu Qing held an auction a few days ago and sold dozens of shops for hundreds of thousands of dollars.
As an incomplete man who lacked parts, he no longer had any thoughts about women and was naturally more interested in money. Seeing Gu Qing easily pocketing hundreds of thousands of dollars, Bian Lingcheng was jealous but did not dare to feel anything else.
thought.
Firstly, he has seen Gu Qing's temper, and he will kill people if they disagree with him. Secondly, Gu Qing is now at the peak of his popularity. He has just been granted the title of Crown Prince Shaobao and Guanglu Doctor by the Emperor. This shows that he has a heavy weight in the Emperor's heart.
, at this time, Bian Lingcheng did not dare to show any hostile behavior towards Gu Qing. It was definitely not a wise move to provoke an enemy with a strong backing and a bad temper.
I originally thought that this money of more than 100,000 yuan had nothing to do with me, but I didn't expect that Gu Qing actually took the initiative to send money to his door.
Looking at the two large boxes full of silver cakes in front of him, Bian Lingcheng made a rough estimate. It was about four thousand taels. This amount of money was not a small amount. Bian Lingcheng had made a total of it over the years while supervising the army in the desolate borderland.
The total amount of oil and water is less than 4,000 taels. This guy Gu Qing is so generous. Is he planning to use the money to kill him?
"Master Hou, what are you..." Bian Lingcheng tried to control his remaining rationality and asked calmly.
Gu Qing said in surprise: "How about sharing the money? I sold hundreds of thousands of guan to my shop a few days ago, so why don't you give me a few thousand? What do you think is too little?"
Bian Lingcheng was suddenly excited: "Ah! Many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, how can I be too little for my slave? I am just grateful for the generosity and generosity of the Marquis. The Marquis is an upright and heroic man. This slave and maid has opened his eyes today."
Gu Qing said with a smile: "Haha, I don't like to be alone. If we have money, we can make it together. Over the years, the border supervisors have been serving as officials in the wilderness of the four towns of Anxi. I'm afraid they can't make much money. At most, they can only scrape off the businessmen passing by.
Just a little bit, the border supervisors can rest assured, things will be different in the future. With me in Anxi, although I cannot guarantee that the border supervisors will be promoted, I can guarantee that the border supervisors will get rich."
For some reason, Bian Lingcheng's impression of Gu Qing was instantly filled with favorable impressions. In the past, he found Gu Qing's unhappy face to be repulsive, but now it looked full of masculine charm. Even his discouraged eyebrows were now revealing.
It gives off a bit of an energetic flavor.
"All...are all for slaves?" Bian Lingcheng was still shocked and couldn't believe it.
Ever since Gu Qing came to Anxi and took office, the relationship between him and Gu Qing has become friends and foes. They remained polite on the surface, but secretly they all had plans. He used a honey trap on Gu Qing, and Gu Qing went too far and drugged him directly.
It is unbelievable that in such a relationship, he could still be given money in the end.
"As the saying goes, 'Being an official for thousands of miles is just for money.' Well, I did so many tricks in Kucha City just to make money. Since I made a small fortune recently, I will naturally not forget the border supervisor army. You
I am a person whom His Majesty trusts, and we will make money together, and this will be the case in the future..."
Bian Lingcheng was stunned.
"Being an official for thousands of miles just for money", who the bastard said this saying? If His Majesty finds out, he will definitely lose his head.
But this proverb is extremely relevant today.
Bian Lingcheng stared greedily at the two big boxes in front of him. Just as his trembling hands were about to touch them, the only reason left in his mind stopped him, and then he turned to look at Gu Qing.
"There is no reward for no merit. I did not contribute even half of the things that the Marquis did in Kucha City. If the Marquis has something to do, please let me know. Otherwise, this money will be hot to the touch and I will not dare to accept it."
Gu Qing glanced at him unexpectedly.
It's rare that this guy can still maintain his sanity.
Gu Qing pondered for a moment, then slowly said: "In the future, such windfalls will continue to be given to the Border Patrol Army. I don't ask for sharing the difficulties with the Border Patrol Army, but we can share the blessings, but...
"
Gu Qing paused and continued: "However, the border supervisors are smart people and are well aware of Gu's temper. Gao Xianzhi has already submitted a memorandum to Chang'an, asking him to be transferred back to Chang'an. If nothing else happens, the Anxi Army will be controlled by
I have taken over, and the border supervisors are still supervisors. I hope you and I can cooperate happily and avoid any bad feelings."
The words were relatively reserved, but Bian Lingcheng understood.
To put it bluntly, the general meaning is that from now on, I, Gu Qing, will be the lord of Anxi and have absolute control over the army. You, the supervisor, should not interfere in military affairs, let alone stabbing people in the back. If you can do it,
There will be a steady stream of money given to you in the future. Otherwise, if the two fall apart, not only will you not get the money, but you will also become my enemy in the future. You decide for yourself.
Bian Lingcheng understood, but then hesitated.
Money is certainly tempting, but...the mission entrusted by His Majesty cannot be blasphemed. In comparison...oh, the two boxes of silver cakes in front of me are so dazzling that it stings my eyes.
Seeing Bian Lingcheng's hesitation, Gu Qing said leisurely: "Bian Jianjun, Yinbing is innocent and cannot be let down. Besides, although I, Gu, am a little out of touch, I have never done anything out of the ordinary. I have always treated His Majesty and the Tang Dynasty
Loyal and loyal, there is no point in keeping an eye on me. After Gao Xianzhi left, I will be the leader in Anxi. The border guards will enjoy a steady stream of money. In the future, when I get old and retire, I will have more confidence to return to my hometown for retirement. I still have to do everything.
Plan more for yourself.”
Bian Lingcheng's breathing became rapid again, and a greedy look appeared in his eyes again. After a long time, he gritted his teeth and said: "Master Marquis, I obey the orders of Chang'an. On weekdays, I still have to report to the Lord what I did in Anxi."
Why, I can only promise not to add fuel to the fire, not to fan the flames of trouble, and to tell the truth in everything, how about that?"
Gu Qing smiled with satisfaction: "Just tell the truth. What I say and do is worthy of the country and Your Majesty. What I'm afraid of is unwarranted fanning and confusing right and wrong. Border Inspector, remember what you said. I wish you and I will have a happy cooperation in the future and be loyal to you."
Your Majesty, please don’t get into trouble with white silver cakes.”
Bian Lingcheng's body became shorter in front of Gu Qing, and his smile had a hint of flattery.
From now on, Gu Qing is the boss, and he must respect his boss.
Then Bian Lingcheng seemed to remember something, and suddenly said with a bitter face: "If the Marquis is dissatisfied with the slave in the future, you can tell it to your face. I will correct it. I beg the Marquis to stop secretly drugging me. The slave's body really can't bear it.
I almost lost half my life last time..."
Gu Qing coughed twice, avoided Bian Lingcheng's resentful gaze, looked up to the sky and said haha: "I have no idea what you are talking about..."
…………
The three Tibetan businessmen suddenly realized the next day that they had received unprecedented preferential treatment.
Early in the morning, an official from the government came to the inn to look for them. The official was a chubby fat man. He breathlessly told them that Mr. Gu and the three of them hit it off at first sight last night. As a sign of friendship, it was also compensation for the three people suffered last night.
After breaking his finger, the Marquis decided to give the three of them a shop for free.
The fat official increased his tone and emphasized "free" and "free" three times. Every time he said it, he gritted his teeth, as if a piece of flesh had been cut off from his body.
How had the three Tibetan businessmen ever been treated so kindly by officials of the Tang Dynasty? They were flattered and declined in a hasty manner.
The fat official, Little Mung Bean, glared, "You don't know how to appreciate someone, don't you?"
One sentence made the three of them dare not say a word, so they only agreed, and then hurriedly expressed their thanks and gratitude. In the end, as expected, they started dancing in front of the fat official. The dance was very black.
The fat official obviously didn't have as much self-cultivation as Mr. Gu. He felt his eyes were hurting after just one glance. He sternly ordered them to stop and stop, and then coldly asked them to follow him to claim the shop.
The shop is located at the southeast corner of the new market, and the location is very good.
There is a saying in Go terminology called "Golden Corner and Silver Edge Grass Belly". This sentence is also applicable to the location selection of commercial shops. Any shop at the corner of the intersection of two roads has always been in a very good location.
Discerning businessmen will fight for it endlessly.
Such a good shop was given away to three Tubo hozens for free. Li Sima felt distressed just thinking about it. How much could this shop sell for? What did the Marquis want? Could it be that he was really attracted by their dancing and singing voices?
, and lead them as close friends in life?
Although I, Li Sima, am a little mellow, my dancing skills are no worse than theirs. It would be nice for the shop to give me this gift.
The three Tibetan businessmen happily moved into the shop, and then began to work hard to hire carpenters and craftsmen to carry out simple decoration, build counters, tables and chairs, and add various furnishings.
Li Sima stood expressionless outside the shop, feeling bad just thinking about it.
Gu Qing stood beside him at some point. Seeing Li Sima sighing, Gu Qing suddenly smiled: "Are you feeling distressed?"
Li Sima was startled and hurriedly saluted, then pointed at the Tibetan merchants in the shop who were jumping up and down with joy, and sighed: "Master Hou, this is..."
