Chapter 220: No Money? What's The Relationship Without Money?
In the dining room, Xu Qing persuaded her father-in-law earnestly and said: "My lord father-in-law, the world is bustling with everyone, and everyone is doing rituals. Who will do anything that is not beneficial? There are no permanent friends in the world, and there are no friends." Eternal enemies, only eternal interests."
"Mutual benefit and win-win, that's called true friends; those who don't talk about interests but only talk about feelings are hooligans. Those who are of value to both parties are called friends. There are only two kinds of people who can pay unilaterally just by relying on feelings—— — Family members and fools. Anyone who can be a Beijing official and has a high position will not be a fool."
The county magistrate Su nodded after hearing this and said, "That means you don't need to pay attention to the request of the county magistrate Ping'an?"
Xu Qing shook his head and said: "Of course I don't care about him, even wanting to ask my son-in-law to do things for him even if he is reluctant to take the money, neither his position nor the power behind him is of any use value to us, so we don't need to pay attention to this kind of person. "
Today, the magistrate of Su County encountered a matter, that is, the magistrate of Ping'an County next door to Anding County wanted to ask Xu Qing for his relationship with the magistrate of Su County, and hoped that Xu Qing could help arrange his ineffective son to the State Chamber of Commerce In the middle, and then pulled Su county magistrate to start talking about feelings and friendship, and they talked for a full hour.
As a result, he offered some things that could be bought for a dozen taels as gifts to bribe Su County magistrate.
That's it? Just use this to test the county magistrate?
Which county magistrate can't stand such a test? !
Of course, County Magistrate Su has also withstood this test, but since he first arrived in the capital and has no foundation, it must be bad to offend people for no reason, so he always asks his son-in-law for his opinion.
My son-in-law said that he should be ignored, which meant that the county magistrate of Ping'an had no background behind him and could offend him at will.
Xu Qing was very relieved to see the relieved father-in-law. Although the father-in-law now has a son-in-law who is the county uncle of An Ding, the mentality of the father-in-law has not been completely changed, and he still treats himself as a helpless person. The unreliable county magistrate.
The county magistrate of my father-in-law, in the suburbs of the capital, there is no county magistrate with a stronger background than the county magistrate of my father-in-law.
It is necessary for my father-in-law to understand that our family can still provoke a lot of people in this capital city.
Of course, we will not cause trouble for no reason, but we will never do things that are not good for us stupidly.
Now that the father-in-law's mentality has been successfully changed by himself, Xu Qing can happily go to the kitchen to discuss cooking skills with his wife.
...
After dinner, when Xu Qing and Su Qian came back from a walk in the back garden and were about to go back to their room to take a nap, the county magistrate Su came over and looked at Xu Qing and said, "Just now Xuan'er ran over and handed Wei father an invitation card, Said it was for you, take it and have a look.”
"Invitation card?" Xu Qing opened the invitation card in doubt, and browsed the content: "Tomorrow afternoon, King Qi invites a banquet?"
The county magistrate Su was surprised after hearing this: "King Qi? His Majesty's eldest son, King Qi?"
Su Qian who was at the side was also quite surprised, how could the king of Qi somehow invite his husband to the banquet?
Su Qian looked at Xu Qing and said, "Is your husband going?"
Xu Qing shook his head: "No."
County Magistrate Su's heart trembled after hearing this. Although Xu Qing had already educated him about who can provoke and who cannot afford to provoke in the capital just now, but... Prince Qi's Mansion is also within the scope of being provoked. ?
That is His Majesty's eldest son!
Seeing Xu Qing's beard trembling, County Magistrate Su asked, "Could it be possible that we can offend King Qi?"
Xu Qing coughed and said, "Of course we can't afford to mess with this."
Su County Magistrate was even more puzzled: "If you can't afford it, why did you push it away?"
Xu Qing said with a smile: "We can't afford to provoke, someone can. My son-in-law is cooperating with Xian Wang's mansion for business, so naturally it is not suitable for two boats. Moreover, King Qi is not a wise master."
Speaking of this, Xu Qing reminded again: "By the way, father-in-law, if there is another official prince who wants to hand you an invitation card, you must remember to shirk it, and don't stand in line with any prince."
County Magistrate Su nodded and said, "Well, I remember it for my father."
If County Magistrate Su was just a magistrate, of course no one would win over him, but if the county magistrate Su has a son-in-law from An Ding County, if someone wants to indirectly force Xu Qing to stand in line by wooing County Magistrate Su, then that's it. Oh no.
If Dachu is compared to a company, the military power is equivalent to the company's shares, and whoever holds the most shares is the company's chairman and the actual controller.
And now the one who holds the most shares in Da Chu Co., Ltd. is undoubtedly Xian Wang.
As for the current Emperor Chu?
That's a CEO at best.
Although the title of CEO, the CEO, sounds loud and nice, he is actually a migrant worker working for the board of directors, at best...a senior migrant worker.
Comparing the three sons of a worker with the chairman's son, it is obvious who to be friends with!
As long as the military power is in the hands of the Xianwang family, the power of Great Chu will be in the hands of the Xianwang family.
In contrast, the power structure of Chu State is actually very similar to Britain under the constitutional monarchy in Xu Qing's time.
The queen as the titular head of state is only the supreme ruler in name, but the power has long been out of the hands of the queen, the titular head of state. She is a machine responsible for signing, and the actual power is in the hands of the prime minister and his cabinet.
The only difference is that the prime minister needs to go to work diligently every day to handle various affairs, but the virtuous king does not need it. He is only responsible for reminding his own Little Brother to go to work on time.

Feng Wang Mansion
King Feng was sitting on the seat in the lobby, looking at a few pieces of paper handed over by the guards in black.
These few pieces of paper recorded in detail the various things ordered by King Qi, and even some of the conversations between King Qi and the counselor.
After reading it, King Feng threw the few pieces of paper into the stove on the side for heating.
The guard in black at the side said: "Your Highness, the King of Qi has already begun to woo the County Uncle Anding, and he has sent an invitation to the Uncle Anding's mansion today. Shall we also try to win over the Uncle Anding?"
King Feng shook his head and said, "You don't need to do anything, just wait and see what happens."
The black-clothed guard pursed his lips, and said, "But Your Highness, if King Qi really has the support of County Count Anding, then he will be one step closer to the East Palace..."
King Feng shook his head and said: "If this An Ding county uncle is a smart person, he will definitely not show up at King Qi's banquet tomorrow. If he really shows up at King Qi's banquet, it will prove that this person is mentally weak. If this person really only wants the city, then there is no need to win him over."
