Chapter 330 Zhao Yongning's Little Abacus
Hearing Jiang Chen asking about the county magistrate next to him, Guo Qing smiled and introduced him to Jiang Chen.
"My lord, he is the county magistrate of Chiwan County, Zhao Yongning."
After listening to Guo Qing's introduction, Jiang Chen's expression suddenly became a little subtle.
The county magistrate in front of him helped him a lot.
Of course, if Jiang Chen hadn’t made “Ant” pay a huge price.
Perhaps this county magistrate is still guarding Chiwan County with Wang Derun at this time!
"Chiwan County Magistrate, Zhao Yongning, greets the Marquis."
Seeing Jiang Chen turning his gaze towards him, Zhao Yongning quickly bowed to Jiang Chen.
Zhao Yongning, who knew his own limitations, did not call Jiang Chen "Lord".
Instead, he chose to call Jiang Chen "Lord".
Hearing that Zhao Yongning did not call him "Lord", Jiang Chen suddenly became more interested in this greedy county magistrate.
But Jiang Chen did not say it directly, but wanted to see what choice Zhao Yongning would make in the future.
After all, for someone who can betray his boss for money.
Jiang Chen found it hard to believe that such a person would not choose to sell himself out for money.
Thinking of this, Jiang Chen nodded slightly at Zhao Yongning.
He walked up to Zhao Yongning without changing his expression and said.
"Yes, don't worry, the money I promised you will only be more, not less."
Hearing Jiang Chen's promise, Zhao Yongning nodded quickly.
"Thank you, Lord. I have specially arranged a banquet for you at the County Magistrate's Mansion."
"Please move to the county governor's mansion and let Zhao show his hospitality."
In response to Zhao Yongning's invitation, Jiang Chen said nothing, but just glanced at Li Yuanyi beside him.
After receiving the signal, Li Yuanyi naturally understood Jiang Chen's meaning at a glance.
Li Yuanyi walked forward, stopped Jiang Chen, and declined Zhao Yongning.
"Forget the banquet. My master doesn't like crowds."
"Besides, it's already so late, I'm sure Mr. Zhao won't force me, right?"
After hearing what Li Yuanyi said, Zhao Yongning was slightly stunned.
But he quickly came to his senses and saw that his invitation was rejected. Zhao Yongning didn't say anything, but just smiled and said.
"Indeed, Zhao was not thoughtful enough."
"Please don't blame me, my Lord. I apologize to you."
Zhao Yongning said this while bowing to Jiang Chen.
"Okay, I'm a little tired."
"Please arrange a place for me to stay. I want to rest."
After listening to Zhao Yongning's words, Jiang Chen waved his hand impatiently and said to Zhao Yongning.
"Okay, okay, Lord, please follow Zhao."
"Zhao has already prepared your accommodation."
When he heard that Jiang Chen wanted to take a rest, Zhao Yongning smiled ingratiatingly and made a gesture to Jiang Chen to invite him.
It has to be said that Zhao Yongning did this to make Jiang Chen satisfied.
That was a huge investment, just take the residence he prepared for Jiang Chen as an example.
He originally bought it specially to keep it for his own retirement use.
Its level of luxury is almost comparable to those of ordinary princes’ palaces!
The area of the entire courtyard is almost larger than that of the county magistrate's mansion.
The garden and rockery in the yard were also bought at great expense by Zhao Yongning.
He traveled all over the country and found countless famous craftsmen.
It took almost half of my savings to complete it!
As Zhao Yongning brought Jiang Chen into the house, Jiang Chen took a deep breath.
I have always heard that Zhao Yongning has embezzled and accepted bribes a lot, but when Jiang Chen saw this courtyard with his own eyes.
Only then did he completely believe the information sent back to him by the "Ant Hole"!
This mansion is better than Jiang Chen’s newly renovated “Dingbei Hou Oudaow Mansion”.
One is like a palace, and the other is just a thatched cottage...
Jiang Chen swallowed his saliva and forced himself to suppress his shock.
Zhao Yongning, on the other hand, kept secretly watching Jiang Chen out of the corner of his eye from time to time.
But to his disappointment, Jiang Chen did not seem very surprised.
From beginning to end, Jiang Chen's expression looked the same as usual!
Faced with such a result, Zhao Yongning, who wanted to use this house to please Jiang Chen, shook his head helplessly again.
According to his original plan, he wanted to take advantage of this opportunity.
While winning Jiang Chen's favor and restoring his own image, he took this opportunity to request to join Jiang Chen's business.
Others may not know that the most terrifying thing about the "ant nest" disguised as a "business" is not their intelligence capabilities.
His ability to make money through business is even more shocking!
Although Zhao Yongning thinks he is not a good person.
But he is very good at business!
With this plan in mind, Zhao Yongning began planning before Wang Derun left the city.
But now it seems that all the preparations are useless.
It didn't even stir up the slightest ripple in Jiang Chen's heart...
Zhao Yongning, feeling extremely lost, brought Jiang Chen into the house.
So he made up an excuse and left with a heart full of disappointment.
Looking at Zhao Yongning leaving, Jiang Chen couldn't help but smile slightly.
Then, he turned and looked at Gongsun Liang beside him.
"Military Advisor, what do you think of Zhao Yongning?"
In response to Jiang Chen's question, Gongsun Liang blurted out the answer without hesitation.
"My lord, I think this man is not worthy of our trust."
"But if it is placed in a business, Liang is sure."
"This person will definitely shine and provide a perfect answer for the Lord."
Hearing this, Jiang Chen frowned and closed his eyes.
He carefully thought over Gongsun Liang's words several times in his mind.
After a while, Jiang Chen slowly opened his eyes and said to Gongsun Liang.
"Since the military advisor thinks so, then we'll just have to wait for this to happen."
"After completely annexing Beiming, let him go to Qi to do business!"
In this way, Zhao Yongning got Jiang Chen's consent as he wished.
However, Jiang Chen is not planning to tell Zhao Yongning about this matter for the time being.
Because, if you want to completely make people like Zhao Yongning work for you.
Jiang Chen still needs to find ways to polish Zhao Yongning.
After all, he didn't want to be betrayed by Zhao Yongning like Wang Derun !
After discussing the next countermeasures for Rongtai County with Jiang Chen, Gongsun Liang left Jiang Chen's room.
After Gongsun Liang left, Jiang Chen did not fall asleep .
Instead, he stood by the window alone, with his hands behind his back, looking at the night outside.
I couldn't help but recite a poem from my previous life.
"The moon shines brightly before my bed, I wonder if it is frost on the ground. I look up at the moon, and think of my hometown."
"It's time to end this war..."
