Chapter 1618 He Xi’s request

Zhang Qianzhi stood in front of He Xi, bowing slightly, waiting for He Xi to give instructions on the report he submitted. He had been in contact with the Ming Dynasty envoy Fei Cexian for nearly ten days, and based on this, he submitted the third report to He Xi.

An observation report. Zhang Qianzhi knew that this report might be submitted to the Executive Committee for review, so he was particularly attentive when dealing with Fei Cexian these days, trying to find out this person's true inner thoughts.

It took He Xi a cup of tea to read the written report. Zhang Qianzhi's records were very detailed, recording almost every detail. Through his description, you can basically see a living image of Fei Cexian.

Logically speaking, with such a detailed report, He should not be able to find any faults, but He Xi believed that there were still some imperfections.

"What does Fei Cexian want? Official reputation? Money? Social status? What are his weaknesses? How can wine, sex, wealth and wealth subdue him?" He Xi slowly closed the cover page and asked Zhang Qianzhi: "

Are these contents reflected in your report? No. Although the records are detailed, there is too much junk information. I don’t need to teach you how to filter out valuable information."

Zhang Qianzhi lowered his head and responded: "It's the fault of my humble position. Please give me another half day...no, two hours, sir, so that I can revise the content of the report."

"There's no need to change it. Let's just leave it as it is. It's just right to leave it to the executive committee so that they don't worry about whether this will work or that." He Xi changed the topic and did not hold Zhang Qianzhi accountable. Instead, he said that this report also has uses.

.After all, he has been his apprentice for so many years, so it is not good to criticize the other party too harshly on this issue. And He Xi can probably imagine what kind of person Fei Cexian is after reading the report. This is not entirely Zhang Qianzhi's work.

No, it's just that this person really hasn't shown any flaws so far.

However, although Fei Cexian was not caught with obvious weaknesses, he did not show any hostility towards Haihan, which is good news. Haihan's biggest worry is that the envoys sent by the Ming Dynasty are hostile, so

Communication will face many difficulties. Zhang Qianzhi has denied such a possibility in his report, but it has saved Haihan a lot of trouble.

Although Fei Cexian seemed a bit difficult to deal with, He Xi would not be anxious because of it. When he first started dealing with the Ming Dynasty a few years ago, there were many officials who were more difficult to deal with than Fei Cexian. In the end, he was not beaten by Haihan Yi.

It is eating away at the coastline bit by bit. He Xi believes that as long as Fei Cexian stays in Sanya for a long time, his values ​​​​will inevitably be subtly affected, and his political stance will slowly change with the broadening of his horizons. Although it seems that now

It seems to be flawless, but after a year and a half, it will be hard to tell. Fuzhou and Guangzhou provinces are full of officials who were initially hostile to Haihan, but were later slapped in the face by Zhenxiang.

"Continue to test him slowly. No matter what he wants, try to satisfy him. Not many people in the Ming Dynasty will take a seventh-grade official seriously. First, give him treatment that the Ming Dynasty cannot give and feed his appetite." He

Xi ordered.

"Yes!" Zhang Qianzhi responded quickly. Since He Xi gave clear instructions, he just had to follow them. He Xi asked him to continue to perform this task and had no intention of finding someone else to replace him. This was to give him

Full trust.

If the various previous attempts to win over were just tests, then some more explicit methods may be used next. Haihan has extremely rich operational experience in this area, and He Xi does not need to issue more detailed orders. If Zhang

Qian Zhi doesn't even know how to do this kind of thing, so there's no need to stay in the Security Department anymore.

Fei Cexian didn't know that the Haihan Security Department had adjusted its measures to deal with him. He basically stayed at the embassy construction site throughout the day these days. Although the Haihan Construction Department specially sent an experienced construction team and foreman to take charge of this

For this project, all kinds of building materials required by Fei Cexian were delivered in almost the shortest time, but he still dared not leave such an important project completely to the Haihan people. If anything went wrong, he would be

The person who was held accountable by the court was not the Haihan man in charge of the construction, but him, a junior deputy of the seventh rank. Even though he was now the envoy to Haihan, if something really went wrong, the court only needed a piece of paper.

A transfer order can bring him back to his original form.

If you can't think of any problems, you have to keep an eye on yourself. Even if you are a little tired, you must ensure that the project can proceed smoothly. Of course, in fact, this job cannot be said to be very tiring. I go to the construction site every day to inspect and chat with the foreman.

After a few words, I went to sit on a wicker chair under the pergola set up next to me to drink tea and read the newspaper. When I was hungry, I had fresh food to eat. When I was tired, someone would massage my legs. When I asked for something, someone would run errands. If my butt hurt from sitting, I would get up and go to the construction site.

I walked around to see how things were going. I wanted to chat with Zhang Qianzhi, my chat partner. I could chat with him about anything from all over the world. Speaking of freedom, what other errands could compare to this environment at the moment?

According to the current construction progress, the main building of the embassy can probably be completed by the end of the year, but it will probably have to wait until around the Spring Festival next year to complete all the interior and exterior decoration and layout. This means that it will probably have to be completed again before the embassy is officially put into use.

About two months. But with the current living and working conditions, let alone two months, so what if it takes another two years? Although Fei Cexian knows that his mentality is a bit too lazy, he stays in the place provided by Haihan

In this kind of environment, there's nothing else to worry about, so there doesn't seem to be anything wrong with just taking things as they come.

However, Fei Cexian could not have imagined that such a comfortable life would be further upgraded. After Zhang Qianzhi received instructions from He Xi, he had someone find a sofa chair to replace the wicker chair under the pergola of the construction site. This thing

Because the production process is complicated and the production capacity is extremely limited, the price on the market has always been high, and even the Yingbin Hotel does not make it a standard feature.

Fei Cexian tried to sit down after Zhang Qianzhi's introduction, and he really felt that you get what you pay for. The soft and elastic touch under the buttocks was not something that a wicker chair could provide.

Zhang Qianzhi bowed to the side and continued: "Master Fei, I heard that you are guarding the construction site every day. I am worried that you will be too tired, so I specially ordered the villain to go to the warehouse and bring a sofa chair. This sofa chair passed by

But the treatment that only the chiefs can enjoy seems to have a very good impression on Mr. Fei!"

Fei Cexian felt greatly benefited from what he heard. He said a few words of humility, but he had no intention of standing up and sitting back on the wicker chair. Zhang Qianzhi saw it in his eyes and remembered it in his heart, secretly thinking that no matter how difficult it was to bribe this Ming envoy, he would still be able to do it.

It is inevitable to be greedy for enjoyment. As long as he shows that he wants something, then the subsequent matters will be easier to handle.

Regarding material enjoyment, the rulers of the Haihan Kingdom are probably the most particular and knowledgeable group of people in this era. Although limited by the productivity of this era, many things that were commonplace in the original time and space simply could not be made.

, but they still try their best to restore the various comfortable daily necessities they experienced in the first half of their lives. And these things are a completely new experience for people of this era.

Fei Cexian pays attention to etiquette, justice and integrity, and is unwilling to directly accept the money given by Haihan, but it is difficult to refuse Haihan's penetration in terms of living conditions. If he wants to live in Sanya for a long time, it is impossible for him to be isolated from the world.

Food, clothing, housing and transportation must partly depend on the conditions provided by Haihan officials. He Xi understood this very clearly, so he instructed Zhang Qianzhi to work more on this aspect.

Whether this method can work, Zhang Qianzhi has already tested the opponent's reaction in the first round. Since Fei Cexian doesn't refuse, he can slowly add more ingredients.

At the regular meeting of the Executive Committee, He Xi also gave a brief report to the Executive Committee on the progress of Zhang Qianzhi. Regarding the diplomatic process with Ming Dynasty, the Executive Committee is no longer as anxious as it was a few months ago.

Firstly, it is because the two countries have officially agreed on a general framework, and the remaining issues are considered trivial matters; secondly, there are still many tasks to be completed in Haihan's layout along the coast of Daming, such as the investigation of various industries in Zhejiang

To carry out infiltration and integration, we should take advantage of this period to seize the opportunity to start. When the Ming embassy is completed and the two sides begin formal negotiations, some methods will not be used openly.

"So can Fei Cexian handle this?" After Tao Donglai listened to the report, he still wanted to get a more concise answer from He Xi.

"There is a high probability that it can be done, but it will take a little more time." He Xi responded.

"Time can be given, but it cannot affect subsequent negotiations. If this person's attitude has not changed by then and he is unwilling to cooperate with us, it may cause unnecessary trouble to us." Tao Donglai reminded.

He Xi nodded and said, "If this is really the case then, I will try to deal with it."

He Xi knew very well what trouble Tao Donglai was referring to. Haihan had too many related interests in the coastal areas of Ming Dynasty, and one of the purposes of establishing diplomatic relations was to legalize and make these interests public. Many details needed to be resolved through fees.

Ce Xian came to reach an agreement with the Ming Dynasty. If the Ming Dynasty envoy was not willing to cooperate enough, or was even hostile to Haihan, then this would inevitably damage Haihan's interests in the Ming Dynasty.

Of course, the Ministry of Security has a backup plan for the worst case scenario. Although it is unlikely that the Ming envoy will disappear for no reason or die mysteriously in Sanya, it is not difficult to use some means to persuade him to retreat. For example, using drugs to make him seriously ill.

field, send it back to Daming for treatment, and then ask Daming to replace him with someone else. Technically, it is not difficult to achieve a similar effect, you just need to master the appropriate timing of implementation.

Fei Cexian did not know that his life trajectory had bifurcated due to the interference of the Haihan Executive Committee. If he did not make a choice that was beneficial to him in the next period of time, what awaited him might be

It's not a happy ending. But considering the current situation, he didn't consider this possibility at all. Life here is far more comfortable than in the capital. He doesn't have to do anything every day and just lives to eat.

On the day when he comes to extend his hand, everyone will politely call him "Master Fei" when they meet him. This is a preferential treatment that he has never enjoyed in the past few decades.

Of course, Fei Cexian is not a fool. He can naturally realize that this must be deliberately arranged by Haihan. If the Haihan people give him such high courtesy, they will definitely ask for something in the future. He still understands this truth. But he refuses.

It seems that there is no way to express such courtesy. Is it possible to ask Haihan to be colder and less enthusiastic towards him? This is obviously impossible. Fei Cexian can only remind himself silently not to be fooled by Haihan's methods and treat the court.

The bottom line of loyalty cannot be changed.

While Fei Cexian was enjoying himself, he did not forget one of his tasks, which was to sift out valuable intelligence from various local public information and compile it into a written report. However, he did not know the information he had access to.

, most of them were deliberately arranged by Haihan. Even the newspapers he could buy were actually screened by the Ministry of Security in advance to ensure that the content he could currently see was within the scope of monitoring.

Although this kind of intelligence control method is time-consuming and laborious, because the target is Ming Dynasty, He Xi is still willing to let the Ministry of Security invest a lot of manpower and resources to complete this task. As for the final effect, it is still difficult to say, He Xi only hopes that it will be determined

Before Fei Cexian's intention, Ming Dynasty should not be more defensive about Haihan.

Because Haihan had already opened Haihan Bank's general deposit and redemption business between Guangzhou and Sanya, after the funds provided by Ming Dynasty to the embassy arrived in Guangzhou, they followed the trend and followed the trend under the instructions of the governor's Yamen.

, only send the check to Sanya, and then Fei Cexian will withdraw it at the bank here, eliminating the trouble of transporting cash.

However, Fei Cexian was dumbfounded when he went to the bank to handle business, because it was near the end of the year and many commercial banks began to take inventory of the income and expenditures of the year according to Haihan's chronological method. The settlements that should be settled should be negotiated.

The debt has been settled. A long queue has begun to form at the entrance of the Haihan Bank headquarters in Sanya every day, all businessmen from various countries waiting to go through the formalities. For this reason, the bank even specially arranged a number of long benches to be placed at the entrance for convenience.

These customers can take a break while waiting in line.

Fei Cexian took a look and saw that there must be at least two to three hundred people queuing up. How long and what month would he have to wait to get in? He originally planned to go back and ask Zhang Qianzhi to see if special cases could be handled through the channels of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

, not to wait in this long queue. But when he was about to leave, he heard some interesting things discussed by the businessmen at the end of the queue, so he gave up the idea of ​​leaving and quietly joined the long queue at the door of the bank.
