Chapter 416 Talking Hearts

To put it bluntly, this dinner held by the leaders of the previous life was a reception and tea party. A group of high-ranking figures in Pingxi County gathered in the viewing garden. They not only expressed their loyalty to the governor of Ganzhou, but also criticized Ye Tiancheng and the Ye family. Finally, they ate and drank together, and the dinner ended.

During this dinner, Yan Liqiang and Ries sat at the main table together, and the two of them chatted and laughed at the dinner table, becoming the focus of the audience.

If Yan Liqiang was still full of awe of Riestong last year and felt that the governor of a state was arrogant, then Yan Liqiang, who had been walking around the Imperial Capital and then returned to Ganzhou, then looked at Riestong psychologically, no longer looked up to him.

After all, when Yan Liqiang was in the imperial capital, he had seen the emperor, fought against the prime minister and the minister and escaped unscrupulously. After experiencing these, when he looked at the governor of a state, he felt that he was no longer trembling, but became calm, not afraid of favors and disgraces, neither humble nor arrogant. Yan Liqiang's style and manner made all the officials and local sages present secretly praise them in his heart.

This is what a person calls experience, experience, and experience. Once he has seen, experienced, experienced, and experienced, his heart is rich, he will not be angry in front of big scenes and big figures, and he will be calm and natural, and his demeanor will naturally come out.

After the dinner, Riestong invited Yan Liqiang to the study room of Guanyuan, and had someone give him tea, then waved his servants away. Suddenly, there were only Yan Liqiang and Riestong in the study room.

"I heard that Lord Sun also knew the beads in the viewing garden and promoted Li Qiang to a close attendant. Lord Sun also used this study that day. Li Qiang should be more familiar with this place than me..." Riestong looked at Yan Liqiang with admiration, then poured Yan Liqiang a cup of tea himself and pushed the tea cup in front of Yan Liqiang.

Yan Liqiang bowed his body slightly and then glanced at the study, "Yes, the layout of this study has not changed at all, it is still the way Lord Sun came!"

"Another parting with Lord Sun that day, another year passed. I heard that on Lord Sun's way back to Beijing, Li Qiang worked hard and made great contributions, brave and resourceful. The Black Wind Thieves were killed by you so scared. In the imperial capital, you are also like a fish in water. He is highly valued by Your Majesty. Once he came out, he became popular all over the world and led the style of the Han Empire. This Master Sun's vision of knowing people really makes me admire him. Recently, there are people in Ganzhou City who want to make a Ganzhou Times. This is all influenced by Li Qiang..."

"Sir, I'm too rewarded!" Yan Liqiang smiled slightly, spread his hands with a self-deprecating voice, and sighed, "Sir, I'm generous in character, and I won't pretend in front of you. To be honest, I'm just a little man in the imperial capital. I was just a little man. I accidentally happened to be a coincidence. In order to survive, I could only fight with all my strength, but offended many people. This time I was lucky to be able to return to my hometown in Ganzhou with my tail between my legs. So please don't mock me again..."

It’s comfortable to talk to an interesting person. Seeing Yan Liqiang so honest, Ries laughed and slapped the table twice, "It’s also a skill to be able to make a name for himself from the dragon and tiger den and then escape without hesitation. To be honest, I didn’t expect Liqiang to be so decisive and throw the flower world behind you in one go!"

"It's not okay if I don't make the decision. I want to stay in the Imperial Capital again. In less than a year, I'm afraid I won't be able to come back alive. Speaking of the world of flowers, I feel that our Ganzhou is not bad either. It's hard to leave my hometown. Only after I come back can I be really at ease!"

"Li Qiang, you are free, but as soon as you come back with the title of Supervisor Qi Yun, I don't know how many people are uncomfortable!" Riestong picked up the water cup and blew gently.

Yan Liqiang smiled slightly, "If the lowly people like Shatu Seven Tribes, if they want to be free, the entire Han Empire will be uneasy. It's great that they can make them uncomfortable!"

"Well said!" Riestong put down the teacup, his eyes flashing, "Since I've said this, I'll be straight to the point. Li Qiang, you are a smart person, and I must know why I want to see you this time?"

Yan Liqiang looked at Riestong seriously, "As the governor of Ganzhou, Qi Yun's appointment is appointing the supervisor. This is a big deal. I naturally understand what the governor is concerned about, but to be honest, Your Majesty has no intention of using troops to the seventh tribe of Shatu. The reason why Your Majesty appointed me as the supervisor of Qi Yun was just a gesture, so that some people were uncomfortable. As for the intention of Your Majesty's attitude, I think the governor should understand better than me!"

"No soldiers?" Riestong asked again in a stressful tone, looking at Yan Liqiang with his eyes tightly.

"No soldiers!" Yan Liqiang nodded affirmatively.

Riestong let out a long breath, a smile appeared on her face, and she suddenly became relaxed, "It seems that your Majesty respects Li Qiang, you are very respectful to Li Qiang. This is Your Majesty's preparation to see Li Qiang's ability!"

"Hahaha, my ability is to take people to do some small business, how can I attract the attention of adults?" Yan Liqiang smiled modestly.

"Humility, you are modest. Li Qiang, you have just returned to Pingxi County for a few days and have all four-wheeled carriages out. I don't think it will take long to go on. This four-wheeled carriage will be popular all over the world. This is a great skill!" Riestong smiled, "That four-wheeled carriage is second to carry people. In my opinion, if such a carriage can be used to transport logistics supplies in the army, the logistics supplies transported by the same horse can be doubled, and the same heavy carriage also requires less capacity to carry the road. This is a powerful weapon of the military, and it is amazing!"

Yan Liqiang also secretly admired Riestong's eyes were indeed sharp. When he looked at his four-wheeled carriage, he suddenly thought of the significance of promoting this thing in the army. It is estimated that this is the reason why Riestong took off his four-wheeled carriage at all costs when he met. For the comfort of the four-wheeled carriage, people need to use spring suspension, but if the four-wheeled carriage is used to pull goods, the spring suspension can be saved. As long as the carriage is handed over to the craftsmen, the structure of the bogie can be clearly seen at a glance and can naturally be imitated by the craftsmen.

"When it comes to doing business, I have a business here. I wonder if the adults are interested?" Yan Liqiang smiled and threw out his bait.

"Oh, is it a four-wheeled carriage?" Riestong burst into laughter. "Although I am interested in making money, I won't rob you of Liqiang..."

Yan Liqiang also laughed, "The business that can be done with adults is of course not a small business like a four-wheeled carriage. My four-wheeled carriage will only make a small amount of money of one hundred thousand taels of silver a year in the future. It is okay to use it to support a bunch of craftsmen. How could the adults see this little money..."

"Puff..." Riestong had just taken a sip of tea. When he heard what Yan Liqiang said, he couldn't help but choke. All the tea was sprayed out in an instant, causing a lot of tea to be stained on his beard, falling down drop by drop. Riestong turned his head and stared at Yan Liqiang, his eyes were filled with golden light, and he didn't care about the water droplets on his beard. He asked in an incredible tone, "What did you say? Can your four-wheeled carriage make millions of taels of silver a year?"

"Well, of course, aren't that a lot?" Yan Liqiang deliberately looked at Riestong with innocent eyes, and blinked his eyes, "I plan to sell each of the four-wheeled carriages for 5,000 taels, each carriage for 5,000 taels, ten taels for 50,000 taels, and one hundred taels is 500,000 taels. With the ability of my subordinates to build a few hundred cars a year, there is no problem. It's easy to make a million taels of silver this year!"

"Hahaha..." Riestong laughed, pointed at Yan Liqiang with his fingers, shook his head, "Liqiang, Liqiang, you are joking, I almost believed it, your carriage is good, but someone else can build such a carriage at a glance. You have a craftsman camp, and there are many craftsmen in other places. In this area of ​​Ganzhou, no craftsman can build it. Not to mention a 5,000 tael, even 500 taels, there are many people who can make it. How can you earn that 5,000 taels?"

"The adults just saw the surface of the carriage, but they didn't know that there was something special under the two wheels of the carriage. Now, looking at the world, only I can make that thing. If there was no such thing, even if others could make a carriage of the same shape, the comfort was far from the sky. So with that thing, my carriage could be sold for 5,000 taels of silver each, and there would be no need to worry about sales..."

"Oh, what are you talking about?" Riestong asked curiously.

"That thing is called a spring, it is steel that can be soft and hard, bend and stretch..."

"Ah, steel can be soft and hard, and can bend and stretched?" Ries was shocked, as if he could not believe it. In his impression, the so-called steel is naturally hard and strong, and it is OK to make swords, armor and tools. This thing that can be soft, hard, bend and stretched can be made of iron, which is impossible...

"The carriage is in the viewing garden. If the adults don't believe it, you can have someone go and see it. Just climb under the carriage, and then stand on the pedal of the carriage and go back and forth and you will know..."

"I still don't believe it anymore. There is still such a thing. Liqiang, you can stay here for a while. I have to go and see it myself. It's true..." Riestong and Yan Liqiang said something, and then walked out of the study directly and resolutely.

Yan Liqiang smiled, drank tea carefully in the study room, and waited quietly. Sure enough, before five minutes had passed, Riestong returned to the study room again.

Ries, who returned to the study, rubbed his hands with his eyes and looked at Yan Liqiang with bright eyes. The smile on his face was so greasy that Yan Liqiang suddenly remembered the Turtle Man who was sobbing guests at the brothel.

"Li Qiang..."

As soon as the governor spoke with deep affection, Yan Liqiang couldn't help but change his face and shivered in an instant.

The governor still smiled like a flower, with honey in his mouth, and looked at Yan Liqiang with affectionate eyes, "I think you are not old, I am a few years older than you. What's rare is that we are so close to each other. I think we should not be separated from each other in the future. Don't call me by the Lord. You can call me Uncle Lei in the future. From now on, this Ganzhou is one acre of three-point land. Liqiang, just walk sideways. Who dares to touch you? I will lead my troops to destroy him..."

The governor said murderous words in a affectionate tone, which was extremely harmonious...

"Lei...Uncle Lei..." The style of the governor changed suddenly, making Yan Liqiang's thunder very lightly, making Yan Liqiang's tongue a little knotted, and it was a little too turned. In a vague way, Yan Liqiang felt that he seemed...it was possible...it was possible...it was a mistake just now.

"That's right. We will be a family in the future. Oh, you have finished drinking all the tea. Come on, Uncle Lei pours you tea..." Riestong enthusiastically poured a cup of tea for Yan Liqiang. Riestong, who put down the teapot, lowered his smile on his face, sighed, and suddenly looked at the ceiling of the room for 45 degrees, "Actually, Uncle Lei is not afraid of Liqiang, you are laughing. I have been in Ganzhou for six years and feel that the responsibilities of the governor are not easy to be. Ganzhou is really too poor. Ganzhou is a border state, a place of battle, Ganzhou, Ganzhou, is a border state, a place of war.
