"Oh, that's all."
Jiang Hai said "oh" absentmindedly and took a sip of tea calmly.
Yang Hongye was choked by his indifferent look.
This isn't right. Shouldn't he be drooling and looking sullen?
In his expectation, Jiang Hai should have a frown on his face at this time, and he should be flattering him and trying to curry favor with him.
He couldn't figure out what went wrong. Could it be that this person really had no desires or wants? That was strange.
After a mental struggle, Yang Hongye had no choice but to speak again.
"The Furong Chamber of Commerce said these past two days that your goods from Southern Xinjiang are quite good. It seems to be consistent with what you said before."
"That's natural and normal."
Jiang Hai remained calm and composed.
Yang Hongye had to lead the topic back to his goal, and then said,
"It's just that the journey is long and it's very inconvenient to go back and forth. Master Jiang, would you consider giving birth here in the capital? I can provide you with labor if you need it."
Oh no, the fox's tail is exposed. Jiang Hai looked at the teacup in his hand and tasted Yang Hongye's ulterior motive.
This guy just wants the production technology of these things. He can do it himself. Then with his status, he can use it to pressure the people in southern Xinjiang, and I think they will have no choice but to accept it.
But he was overthinking it. Jiang Hai was not a soft persimmon that he could manipulate.
Jiang Hai thought about it and rejected his proposal.
"Your Highness, I'm not afraid to tell you that even if the technology was given to you, you wouldn't be able to make it. These things can't be made anywhere else except us."
Of course, things were not as mysterious as Jiang Hai said, but he just didn't want to agree to Yang Hongye, so he just made up a reason to refuse.
"Oh, really? That's a shame indeed. If that's the case, we'll have to send more merchant ships, which will increase the cost quite a bit."
Yang Hongye had no choice. He didn't expect Jiang Hai to directly reject his proposal.
But now that the Furong Chamber of Commerce has just started to make money, it is not easy for him to turn against it directly. He has to make more money and accumulate some money first.
It seems that this way of making money cannot be used. Yang Hongye thought about it and decided to have another small goal, which is to see if he can recruit some people.
But as I said last time, he is not interested in giving Jiang Hai an official position, and it seems that it will not be easy to recruit him.
Even though he thought so, he still tried to ask,
"Young Master Jiang, are you willing to work under me? I believe you already have everything you need for wealth and honor. Power, fame, and wealth will surely keep you worry-free."
"Your Highness is too kind. I am just a salted fish. I don't want to turn over a new leaf. I want to go back to southern Xinjiang and be a free and easy person. I don't pursue these things. It's too tiring."
Jiang Hai rejected his invitation without even thinking about it.
Yang Hongye had already anticipated that it was unlikely to recruit this person, and that his purpose of inviting him here today had not been achieved.
Yang Hongye felt a little angry, but the Third Prince, who had great acting skills, naturally wouldn't show it.
I started to think about how to deal with this matter next.
Yang Hongye doesn’t have much to do for the time being, at least he hasn’t found any evidence against Jiang Hai yet.
It is a bit difficult to get hold of something to control him, after all, the Furong Chamber of Commerce in Nanzhou said that there are strange things happening in Binhai County.
I think the Jiang family has already established a very solid business there, so we need to take it slow.
After thinking about it for dozens of times, Yang Hongye smiled and said,
"Indeed, everyone has their own aspirations. Young Master Jiang is truly a carefree and carefree person."
"Your Highness, I am flattered. I am simply lazy. If there is nothing else, I will not bother you any further."
Jiang Hai wanted to slip away. There was really nothing fun to do here. Apart from enjoying the scenery, he had to deal with Yang Hongye's various little thoughts, which was very boring.
Yang Hongye still had a trick up his sleeve. He didn't expect Jiang Hai to leave so soon. He tapped the table with his fingers and said,
"Master Jiang, don't worry. It's not too late to watch the dance before you leave."
After he finished speaking, he clapped his hands, and a group of dancers came out one after another to perform.
The dancers bowed to Yang Hongye and Jiang Hai, then began to play music and dance.
Jiang Hai was helpless. Since others had already done this, he couldn't just withdraw without giving them any face.
I had no choice but to sit down again and enjoy Darong's dancer performance.
To be honest, Jiang Hai had never really read these things before.
Although there had been such performances in Yanchunlou before, Jiang Hai only regarded it as a temporary resting place and never watched it seriously.
Yang Hongye slowly shook his head to the melody, looking like he was enjoying it.
Jiang Hai, however, was very unimpressed. The main reason was that she was wearing too much and there was nothing special about her. Besides, he didn't like looking at these things anyway.
The dancers were all beautiful, but Jiang Hai felt that his wife's type was more attractive.
Seeing that Jiang Hai's eyes were fixed on the lead dancer, Yang Hongye's lips curled up slightly.
Little did he know that Young Master Jiang's eyes randomly found a focus, and he was thinking what it would be like if his wife also danced, which he thought would definitely be nice.
When the dancers had almost finished their performance, Yang Hongye gave the lead dancer a slight signal with his eyes.
The dancer was beautiful and gentle, with tenderness and charm in her eyes. She walked lightly to Jiang Hai.
The jade-white hand picked up the wine pot, filled a glass of wine for Jiang Hai, and poured a glass for herself, and said,
"Master Jiang, I offer you a toast."
The dancer raised her wine glass, her eyes were charming and she was flirting wildly.
Jiang Hai's thoughts drifted to the General's Mansion. Just as he came back to his senses, he looked at the other party's lightning eyes and asked unconsciously,
"Eh? Miss, are your eyes uncomfortable? Why are you blinking so hard? Did sand get into your eyes?"
"Master Jiang is really good at joking. I'm fine. Please do me the honor of having a drink."
These dancers are well-trained and handled the situation with ease and without any embarrassment. Their main job is to persuade people to drink.
However, Jiang Hai didn't want to drink, mainly because it was the middle of the day and he didn't have the habit of drinking.
Young Master Jiang, who never knew what face was, picked up the teacup directly.
"Young lady, you are in a good mood. Come, come, I will offer you a cup of tea instead of wine."
Yang Hongye was watching from the top seat and felt a little depressed. This guy was simply unyielding and even drank tea instead of wine.
Originally, His Royal Highness the Third Prince wanted to get her drunk, find a woman to pounce on, and then ask her some questions.
It seems that this won't work. If it were someone else, this delicate young lady would have to show some respect when she toasted him.
I didn't expect this person to have no shame at all.
However, Jiang Hai didn't think too much about it, he simply didn't want to drink.
Before he came here, there weren't so many twists and turns. Not many people drank at noon, as everyone drove to work.
The dancer still didn't give up and pretended to be wronged.
"Sir, how can you do this? I've been drinking wine, but you're drinking tea. If you tell others about it, they'll laugh at you."
"Girl, you're worrying too much. This is easy to solve. I'll teach you a trick. If anyone laughs at you, just throw money at him.
If hitting it once doesn’t work, try hitting it twice. Hit it a few more times, and that person will definitely praise you. If you don’t believe me, try it again.”
