Chapter 1886 The Strange Uncle(2/2)
Just chat.
Soon everyone here dispersed, and they all wanted to stay and see what was going on, but they all knew their status, and they should be here because they wanted to be here.
Only when he reaches that level can the governor act as a reminder to the earl. I can't even keep up with the governor's reminder, so I'd better get out of here.
This airship base also has a special resting place. Li Cong naturally has his own VIP room. Basically, no one is entertained here, but everything here is prepared. Governor Agui thinks
He can be considered a person who knows how to enjoy himself. Although Governor Harman would limit his rights in the past, he never cared about himself when it came to having fun and gave himself the best enjoyment. So Agui thought that he was a good person.
It was a worldly thing, but she was still dumbfounded.
This house is about more than one hundred square meters. Agui has seen places like this before, but the floors and other items in this house are made of the most precious sandalwood. You must know that these things are used by nobles in the provincial capital.
It's just making some small pendants and the like. It's impossible to make furniture on such a large scale. It's really luxurious. Take a look at the cups for drinking tea. Many rich people use pure gold.
Things, but those things are nothing compared to the one in front of me. They are all made of jade. Agui also wears a special jade ring on his hand. This is the most valuable thing in his body.
Yes. It was given to me by a businessman who asked me to do business. He said it was worth more than 800,000 taels of silver. But now, the two sets of tea sets sent by the beautiful maid are actually made of special jade. The market price of these things
I knew very well that such two sets would cost at least three million taels of silver. This Earl's Mansion was so rich that it was definitely not legendary. Agui was shocked to see that this place was just a temporary break for Li Cong.
Then Li Cong's home...
In fact, Li Cong's home is not that luxurious. Li Cong doesn't like to use these things. Where Li Cong lives, he only uses ordinary things. Li Cong doesn't think that there is any benefit to things if they are precious.
But this place is used to receive guests, and there are all kinds of people to meet, so it is necessary to do a good job here. In fact, the airship base is very close to Li Cong's mansion in the provincial capital. This can be said to be Li Cong's official residence.
It was a place to meet guests, and Governor Agui was the first guest who came in after repairing here.
"Sit down, Governor, you don't need to be so polite. To be honest, this is my first time here. I don't know where some of the things are. Drink tea. If you need any snacks, just ask them to bring them in."
Li Cong said with a smile.
"Your Majesty the Earl's room is really luxuriously decorated. I will never have a room like this in my lifetime." Agui said with some envy. Li Cong could see a lot from this guy's eyes.
Greed, the southern province will have to be in his own hands sooner or later. What Li Cong wants is to truly be in his own hands, instead of being like this on the surface, but in fact there are still many things that are not right in front of him.
This person can be your best spokesperson.
"This is no problem. If the governor likes you, I can ask the people below to build one for you based on mine." Li Cong pointed around and said. The total cost of this reception room is as high as 45 million taels of silver. Li Cong
Agui was dumbfounded by Cong's words. He had seen rich people and people who could spend money, but those rich people who could spend money seemed like nothing compared to Li Cong.
"There's no need for this. I'm so busy every day that I don't have time to enjoy these. As long as the Earl can ask me to come over and have a cup of tea with him when he comes to the provincial capital, I'll be very happy. Speaking of which, the Governor is also coming today.
Later, it seemed that he didn’t come over for some reason. I heard that it seemed to be because of family reasons. Please forgive me, Lord Earl. Lord Governor just came over. After all, he was a guest. We as hosts cannot talk to others.
He cares too much." Governor Agui said here while "helping" Governor Ferdinando while drinking the extremely expensive Yunwu tea. If Ferdinando heard this, he would definitely come over and grab this guy's neck.
, beat him hard, are you talking for me? Why don't you hurt me to death? Let Li Cong know that I didn't come to greet him because of some trivial things at home. How can I meet Li Cong in the future?
.
Li Cong smiled. This Agui is still a little bit impatient. Now is a time to test each other. He has already begun to attack the governor. This guy is really superficial. Even if you say that, what will happen?
Well, will I tell you that I will support you against the Governor? Don't say that you are a lord with little power. Even if you really have the power, you cannot do this. This will definitely be true.
Sometimes I can't even come up with a reason.
"The governor should know that this new governor is my wife's uncle. If you tell me this, aren't you afraid that I will tell the governor? The governor and the governor have never been on good terms, but I know that in Ha
You didn't have so many things to do when Governor Erman was here. I don't know why you have suddenly become more courageous recently. Why is this?" Li Cong asked sharply, his face no longer showing the same emotion as before.
He smiled, and Agui was so frightened that he immediately dropped the special jade tea cup in his hand and dropped it to the ground. However, special jade is hard. You can't tell at all, but it is not the same as those soft jade.
"My Lord Count, I deserve to die. I am wrong. I beg you to give me one more chance..." Words of begging for mercy kept coming out of Agui's mouth. This guy also wanted to flatter him. Who knew?
This flattery was not done well. When it came to the horse's hooves, Li Cong would have been angry because the governor did not come to greet him, but who knew that he did not have that idea in his heart at all, which made Agui unable to say anything else.
, I have revealed my own thoughts, and others have different thoughts from my own. This is embarrassing...
"Hey, what are you doing, Governor?" Seeing Agui kneeling in front of him, Li Cong didn't get up to help him, but continued, "I'm just talking casually, the future of the Governor is still in his own hands."
, I am in the south, and there are always some places in this provincial capital that are not stable. Most of the people in the provincial capital now are the subordinates of the former Governor Harman. I think these people have been a little impetuous recently. They seem to be a little
I can't figure it out, I don't have time to go around in circles with them, now I should find someone to integrate them all." Li Cong said thoughtfully, and Agui's eyes lit up when he heard this.
This was the result he wanted. Agui looked excited. Such a thing had finally come to his head. Li Cong's anger before was definitely superficial. In fact, the real truth was that Li Cong was really dissatisfied with the governor.
, I think I can still satisfy Li Cong, otherwise I wouldn't have said this in front of me.
"What the earl said is so true, but this person is not easy to find." Agui was already very happy in his heart, but on the surface he could not show his enthusiasm for Qianli. Such a conversation might make Li Cong
I feel too powerful.
"Forget it, that's what I said. In fact, I also feel that this person is not very easy to find. As you know, it is actually difficult to see clearly what this person is like. I'd better observe this matter for a while.
It's not that I'm in a hurry, I just feel that Ferdinando might win over these people, and by then it will be too late for us to take action." Li Cong said helplessly, "If you don't stand up and wait for me to speak out,
How is that possible? Li Cong has already caught this guy's mentality, so he will naturally say this. It would be too much to want this guy to stand up automatically.
It's a simple matter. This guy couldn't bear the provocation with just a few words. He also wanted to move up. How could he give up such an opportunity?
"Wait a minute, Lord Count..." Agui seemed hesitant to speak, which was really funny.
"Is there anything else, Governor? If not, I think I should go visit the Governor." Li Cong made a move to leave, just to make this guy anxious. He looked like an ant on a hot pot.
, I was also very happy.
"Your Majesty, please stay. I still have something to do. I don't know if this candidate mentioned by Your Majesty the Count is suitable. I have recommended myself. In fact, I have wanted to talk to Your Majesty the Earl a long time ago, but I just haven't been able to do it."
There is no good opportunity. Now I also hope that the earl can support me. If I can take control of this place in the future, I will listen to the earl." After saying these words, Agui seemed to be exhausted. Such surrender to himself
I have never thought about it in my life, but I can’t say it today. I don’t know if I will have another opportunity like this in my life. If I don’t seize this opportunity, I may really have no hope in the future.
Thinking of this, he could actually say all the words that he usually couldn't say, and Li Cong looked very satisfied with these words.
"The governor is very suitable for this candidate. I am also very satisfied. Originally, I also wanted to let the governor collect these powers. If the governor can do it well, I will definitely give my full support." Li Cong
He said with a smile, it cannot be said that it is an easy task to conquer this guy. Let’s not talk about his ability to do things, but his character is quite good.
"Is the earl dissatisfied with the current governor?" Agui asked boldly, as if he was now someone who could have a heart-to-heart conversation with Li Cong. Li Cong had no objection to such a direct inquiry.
of.
"No, I am very honest in my work. Frankly speaking, there may be many things involved. The reason why I asked you to conquer these forces is not to let him. In fact, it is because you have no backing behind me.
If I support you, I may be your biggest backer, and there are huge various forces behind that guy. I don’t have the energy or the ability to fight against those forces in the capital. But in the southern provinces
I still have to have my own right to speak in this three-thirds of an acre of land." Li Cong said very directly and was the correct answer. Agui was very satisfied. The reason why others use him is because there is nothing behind him.
Power, this is what others need. In the past, this was my disadvantage. Now it is also my advantage. In the past, Harman relied on the backstage of the right minister to do whatever he wanted, but now I am not at his level.
, but you can also show off your abilities.
"Thank you, Lord Earl, for your appreciation. I dare not say anything else. I have also been managing my own relationships over the years. Up to now, I have formed a relationship that is not very large and not very high-grade, but it is absolutely useful.
, we can integrate the forces left by the former Governor Harman within half a month." Agui said with confidence, such a person is a mediocre person when he has no chance, but as long as he is given
If such people are given a chance, they will do very well.
"Very well, Mr. Governor, I really buried you in the past. Don't worry. I will never give up on anyone. As long as this person is useful to me, then everything he gets now will be the same, and he will be the same in the future.
For those who have higher-level pursuits, the governor said that he has dedicated himself to the empire for decades. The empire has not given a knighthood to a single person. This is really inappropriate. I will apply to the empire. I
There are still some connections in the empire." Li Cong wrote his first check. For a count like Li Cong, such a title has no effect, but for Agui, it is completely
Things are different. Civilians in the empire can be officials and do business, but if you want to become a noble, you can only achieve it through merit. Don't look at knighthood, which is the lowest title, but it is not that simple to get it.
In the past, Agui envied Harman for having a knighthood, and he was very envious of it. With this title, it can be said that no matter whether he is in this position or not, he can have a final destiny in his life.
It's home.
"Thank you, Lord Earl. My subordinates will definitely be furious because of Lord Earl's affairs..." Agui was really touched at this moment. He had seen many superiors extending olive branches to him, but none of them
They are so real. They also have requirements for themselves when they talk to them. They all hope that they can do things first. But Li Cong is different from those people. He will give him a reward first and then let him do things. Such a master can say that he will definitely do something.
It's so rare, no wonder Agui was moved to tears.
"Don't be so emotional. In fact, you should have had this title a long time ago. I will ask someone to get it done as quickly as possible. You must have met the new governor. How do you feel about it?"
"Li Cong is not in a hurry to leave at this moment. He has nothing to do with his wife-in-law whom he has not met yet, but he can tell from the fact that this person did not come to greet him today. Can the two of them become enemies in the future?
It's easy to say, but you will never become friends. There is no need to be friends with people who don't respect you. Even if they become friends in the future, they will definitely not be the kind of people who can get along with each other, and they will most likely use each other.
"The new Governor, Mr. Ferdinando, has been here for about four days. He has not met with anyone during these four days. If anyone comes to visit, he will say that it is not convenient to meet guests at home after traveling a long distance.
Rest, by the way, his new home is also the official residence of the former Governor. I have only met this Governor once. It seems that he is not very easy to talk to. As for what it is like, this is only the first time for me.
There is nothing to say about contact." Agui thought about the news from the Governor's Mansion in the past few days. All the governor's people were brought from the capital. It can be said that there is no need for a handyman here. If you want to get
It's not that simple to get any useful information, at least for now I don't have any information that I can use.
"Well, it turns out he is a strange person. Forget it, let's not think about it. Anyway, we will see this person in a while. You just go about your business. I will stay quietly for a while." Li Cong looked at it.
Time said, it was almost over on the princess side now, Agui nodded and said goodbye to Li Cong and went out.
Not easy to talk to? This should be the evaluation given by Agui. His wife didn't tell him much about this uncle along the way. It seems that the relationship between the two of them is not good. Today, I'm here again.
If you don't look a little embarrassed when this comes out, you really think I am easy to bully.
Soon the princess also ended her conversation with the ladies. In fact, women are accessories to men. No matter how high-ranking women are, they are like this. They just watch the men finish the conversation, and they will end it immediately.
Now, even if it was a happy topic, I wouldn’t say anything more. If I didn’t finish here, I would talk for a while even on boring topics to create time for my man. (To be continued. If you like
