Chapter 142 The dog that bites will not bark

What Ding Bao originally wanted to ask was not this, but why did she appear in the Izumo Temple, which is mixed with fish and dragons, and is evil in evil spirits?

However, the woman did not know whether she was intentionally abandoning her or was wrongly asked about this answer, but she expressed her sincerity, which made her feel soft. However, she could not ask any questions before.

What if she cares about her, it's enough that Sister Fox won't hurt herself anyway.

For a moment, neither of them spoke. After hugging for a moment, the woman gently pushed his shoulder and blinked, "Go over there and take a look?"

Ding Bao knew that she was referring to listening to the conversations of everyone in "Caihetang", and nodded.

The woman stretched her hands with one hand, twisted her waist and jumped up. Her two straight and straight legs were intertwined in the air, falling gently like a butterfly on the beam leading to "Caihetang", still sitting horizontally. Although she was not wearing the black robe that was long and wide before, she was still like smoke and mist and was elegant and charming during this movement.

Although Ding Bao was not as elegant and rude as her, he was quick and quick enough. When his body moved, he landed steadily behind him.

The woman's eyes lit up and she quietly gave her thumbs up, her eyes full of praise and surprises, and she was sincerely happy for Ding Bao's great progress.

Turning around, just about to continue crawling forward, I suddenly remembered the embarrassment of crawling like a female dog, my face turned red, my pretty eyelids were silly and I pretended to be nothing, and whispered: "This time... I'll just go first."

How could Ding Bao not know what she was thinking? He smiled, held the beam top, and stepped over her body. The two of them pressed their waists and legs against each other, rubbing each other across their clothes, and they were both silent. The hot air in the narrow space was boiling, extremely forcing people, and the heartbeat of "thump, thump" echoed for a long time.

The woman had nowhere to dodge. She blushed and her ears became hot. She became irritated for no reason, bit her lip and twisted Ding Bao's calves.

Ding Bao turned around in pain, but saw her pretty face cold, and her slender and tender face was facing his heart, and he was making noise in his ears, raising his fingers to his lips, asking him to be quieter.

Ding Bao felt cute and helpless, and pressed his left chest with exaggerated palms. Sure enough, the sound of stimulating calmed down slightly, but he heard another place "thump" sound, and couldn't help but raise his head. At the same time, the woman also lowered her eyes, and her four eyes were concentrated on her towering and round chest...

Inside Caihe Hall.

The food and drinks were prepared on the round table. In addition to Bai Haiting and Shin-yoko, there were almost seven or eight people.

Before Bai Haiting and Shinyoko arrived, the people who came first came to drink and passed the time.

As the host and the guest arrived, everyone sat down and raised their glasses together.

Bai Haiting spoke first and said loudly: "This time the imperial court sent envoys to come south to pray for the people of the world and promote the great way of enlightenment. I am preparing for the conference on praying for the Tao and blessings and Dharma discussions. The cost is supported by my temporary yamen, the Xuanfu envoy. Fortunately, General Su has given me the guidance and support of you, and you can generously donate your money, and the preparations can be carried out smoothly. I will give you this cup of flowers to express my gratitude to you."

Everyone said they didn't dare to drink it all in one go.

After hearing this for a while, Ding Bao finally found out the identities of all the people present. All the leaders of the major corps in Xuanhua Prefecture were from the leaders. In other words, they were all top-notch local super tycoons!

The three prefectures in the entire southern national highway are mainly sericulture, fruit and wood, and planting industries, and the business is not well developed.

If you can barely count, there are only two commercial centers in the east and west.

First, it is naturally the Shuangqiao Prefecture, where General Zhennan was stationed in the east. With Shuangqiao as the center and large and medium-sized cities around Quzhou and Yuezhou as the closest distances, this area is radiated by large and medium-sized cities. Because of the existence of General Zhennan and Zhennan Army, this area is regarded as the political, cultural and economic center of the entire South Three Prefectures, and has a natural advantage. In this way, a large number of traditional handicraftsmen who are eager for stability and security have emerged, and a large number of large and large workshops have emerged.

It is said that "eat in Frost Bridge, wear in Quezhou, and play in Yuezhou", which is famous all over the world.

Secondly, it is the Xuanhua Merchant that relies on the west. Because Xuanhua City is the main and confluent of Xiahe, Minchuan, and Twin Lake, and is close to Zhongnan Mountain. It has developed advantages in transportation and ports. Since ancient times, it has been a good port and a key road where boats and horses are concentrated. If you only talk about the commercial prospects and the maturity of commercial development, it is naturally not comparable to the "Shuangqiao-Qizhou-Yuzhou" economic belt.

Therefore, the Xuanhua Merchant Gang is a well-known existence within the entire Yangdi territory!

The merchants in Xuanhua City have detailed division of labor and amazing throughput. Each gang and each industry has a strict guild organization. Therefore, the guild leaders are extremely powerful. Even the local government offices have to respect them and coordinate and contact them politely, instead of regarding themselves as their parents, blindly coercing and suppressing them, and asking for help.

So even though Bai Haiting, the imperial envoy, was here, although these business leaders here were polite, they did not feel much restrained.

At this time, there was still an empty main seat in Caihe Hall, and there were obviously important guests not coming. Everyone was chatting in their conversations. Obviously, this person had not arrived, and the other leaders did not talk about serious matters. They played the muddy water Tai Chi with Bai Haiting, and picked up some snow, moon, and flowers.

Bai Haiting touched the soft nails a few times, then raised his glass with a smile, listened to the crowd chatting, and sometimes said a few tips, but there was no sign of hesitation on his face.

Ding Bao couldn't help but admire him. It's no wonder that the court dared to let him come alone as the envoy of this Lao Shizi's suppression of Kou Xuanfu, who was like a fire. He felt that this Lord Bai Haiting was really a man who could bend and stretch. As the eye drops given to the Su family by the court, it goes without saying that he must have struggled on the territory of the Nansan Prefectures. If the Su family was angry, they had to hold back and endure it. It would be too hard to be an official like this?

At the same time, I couldn't help but wonder who is so awesome that these rich and powerful local tyrants are willing to wait...

Just as he was thinking, the door suddenly knocked lightly, and a line was cracked. The Taoist outside the house bowed and said, "Report to the Second Supervision Institute, General Sima, the general manager of the Sima arrived."

Mayoko raised her gray eyebrows and stood up to respond, "Please hurry!"

For a moment, everyone in the house left their seats to greet them.

A middle-aged rich businessman with five long beards, tall and thin, slightly hunched, bowed in, with pink boots, dressed in a rich and gentle smile on his face.

This person has broad shoulders and a very tall body. However, he is slightly hunched and does not walk very well. He seems to have foot disease.

The woman beside Ding Bao was about to speak, but her cherry lips moved, but suddenly she silted again. She squinted her beautiful eyes and looked at it, and wrote on Liang Jianchen with her fingertips: "This person has great external skills and good ears, so don't breathe."

Without her reminder, Ding Bao also saw it. His eyes turned back and forth for a few times, and he always felt something was wrong, but he couldn't see it in the vastness, so he nodded and returned to the room.

Bai Haiting seemed to be ignoring the person coming, and Shin-yoko hurriedly introduced to him: "Sir, this is the Sima family's big tent, Sima Yuntao, the chief manager, are close to each other."

Bai Haiting smiled and said, "The First Chief Manager of Xuanhua! I admire you for a long time, and I admire you for a long time!"

Sima Yuntao smiled and bowed, "I dare to disturb you! The number one manager is just a joke about friends. I really want to break my mind. Yuntao said that this is just a small businessman who is peaceful and honest. Just now, Lord Bai shouted, and I still don't know who he was talking about!"

Everyone laughed.

Bai Haiting smiled and said, "Master Yuntao is joking. I have heard of the 'Xuanhua Shang Gang, Sima No. 1' in Tianfeng. Looking at the water and land wharfs of the southern three prefectures, who doesn't know the Sima General Manager Yuntao? Moreover, before I came, General Su personally told me that the Sima family was the largest in Xiahe canal transportation, with its power spanning salt, canal, fishing, iron, etc., and it was everywhere. Even the money, food and grass for his old man to fight wars had to rely on. General Su also said that in recent years, the head of his hometown lived in simplicity, and the Sima family was not big or small, and they were all managed by General Yuntao. They were all right inside and outside. Business development was prosperous, and they were better than the blue!"

This is a bit interesting. As the two major economic belts of the Southern Three Prefectures, the relationship between them cannot be too harmonious.

Especially the Shuangqiao area on the eastern front is the territory of the Su family of the General's Mansion in Zhennan. Over the years, various policy preferences and discounts are common. Naturally, everyone here cannot feel too comfortable, so they all changed their faces.

What does it mean? Could it be that General Su still thinks that he is favored by one and the other has not suppressed the Xuanhua merchant gang enough, and even the Sima family's canal transportation is favored? How can he end the eggs after the collapse of the nest? What's the point?!

Ding Bao sternly shook his eyes and glanced at the kind-hearted Bai Haiting, thinking to himself, it’s true that a dog that can bite people will not bark!

After Bai Haiting finished speaking, everyone looked at Sima Yuntao with a strange look. However, the general manager Sima Yuntao didn't care at all. He smiled slightly, waved his hand, and signaled everyone to sit down.

The master has arrived. Bai Haiting observed his words and expressions and stood up and bowed: "I will not hide it from you. Today, I invite you to come for the meeting to pray for the Tao and blessings. Before I came this time, General Su sent someone to issue an urgent order to build a temporary temple near Izumo Temple, so that we can find land properly and start construction as soon as possible..."

Before he finished speaking, a jewel-blooded obese woman present snorted and whispered: "What am I saying? It turns out that we are asking for money again."

Before Bai Haiting came, he knew that the woman was notoriously difficult to deal with. She smiled and didn't touch her. She took out a number-fold drawing from her sleeve, kept it intact, and slowly pushed it to the center of the table with her fingers.

"I brought a blueprint for the hotel. General Su personally decided overnight. Please check it out."

Among them, there are naturally wood planting and civil engineering. For example, the Li family specializes in wood business from south to north, and the head of the family Li Kenong himself is also a big expert in civil engineering. It is said that even this "Eight Immortals Palace" was made by him. Seeing everyone's eyes, they took it as a presumptuous saying, "Master Bai, Caomin has been a presumptuous person."

"Please, everyone."

Li Kenong unfolded the drawings and looked back and forth several times. His eyes sternly, his expression was a little stiff. He pondered for a while before he spoke carefully: "Well, Lord Bai, according to Caomin, the structure of the frame of this tent seems to be a bit too...a little extravagant. Does the temporary tent need such a large house?"

Upon hearing this, the fat woman stretched her neck and looked at the size marked in the picture. She couldn't help but change color and said, "Mr. Bai?! Do you think we are rich fools, and you can't spend all the money? You only stayed in a tent that was so magnificent and majestic? You are simply grabbing..."

At this time, Sima Yuntao took a sip of wine and raised his hand slightly to stop the fat woman from continuing to speak out. (To be continued...)
