Bab 8: Doubts of Li Ban
The everything was simple, Dara wanted Li Ban to give, as it is found in the east, when visiting a "gift." Hiding his request for ornate guest praises. The east is as simple "as snow in summer.
Although there are in the East and their subtleties. If you know them, then life will seem honey, and if you don't know that you are angry with wasps.
– Он нуш, бе ин ниш, ни ми арзат
In such cases, the inhabitants of the empire Bosy said: "On nush, be in nish ni mi arzat'! That is - that honey is not worth those stings! They were right. Why do we need such a relationship? If the person himself does not know how to communicate? But if a person communicates, then he must learn these unspoken rules. All trade is worth it!
Li Ban looked at Daru. He smiled and gave him back Jiang.
The best gift in the East is the attention and money! Li Ban, with a smile not inferior in its dazzle - the smiles of Dara, presented him with a check of "flying money" for a certain amount of money.
Dara broke into an even more blinding smile than before.
All is well, Mr. Li Ban, the check showed that you are the one I was waiting for. But I did not expect you to be so young and inexperienced. Why did you drink tea without immediately thinking that there might be poison in it? Why did you immediately trust me?
This put me on my guard and applied the standard procedure. Sir Pei, I was told that if I start to doubt any person, I should immediately begin to follow this standard procedure. We have many enemies, trade, money, politics, here you need to keep your eyes open, your mouth closed and listen, listen.
Then I thought you might be an enemy spy? Although the descriptions of the appearance coincided with those sent by Sir Pei, there is always a chance that someone can fake it.
When we checked you out, it turned out that you are the same Lee Ban, whom I was waiting for!
What if I wasn't Li Ban? Why bag and cleaver? You apparently wanted to use them for their intended purpose?
Dara smiled, but you are Li Ban ?! So why talk about the unpleasant. Let it be a thing of the past.
By the way, yesterday I sent a report about you to Gaochang by a caravan, I wrote that you were holding up well. Sir Pei will appreciate it!
Li Ban felt that after arriving at the residence of Sir Pei, he could not escape censure.
Well, this is understandable, honey and sting go together!
Now what? I passed the test, why the coin is not activated? Do Dary apparently his copper coin works! it can be seen, he has a delicate ear, flatters well, but apparently, he is not aware of the fact that coins can enhance their effect. Even though Sir Pei told him more than me, but not everything!
Strange this old man Pei, but apparently this requires specific work.
Li Ban was Sir Pei's nephew. As an acquaintance, they took him as an agent to Sir Pei. But he had little that understood in his case, at first. Over time, Lee Bang learned the wisdom of the craft. When he entered the service he was 15 years old. Ambition is over the edge, little experience, plus a good background played a bad joke with him.
His uncle kept him in a black body, immediately told Li Ban that he would not spread who he was.
During the three years he spent in Chang'an, Li Ban acquired new knowledge and experience, he thought to himself that he had already become an experienced agent. But then his uncle sent him on this first journey, so that he understood that he was still young and green.
Sir Pei adhered to the old Han proverb - "If you find the money, count, if you meet a person, try."
This trip to the principality "He" was for him the main test!
I wonder why my coin doesn't work? Asking Dara, Li Ban did not want to. I'll think of it myself!
Dara said again, Mr. Li Ban you passed the test. So let's get down to our business!
What do you first want to know?
Li Ban asked first about the structure of power in the principality "He", who is the most influential in the city, which clans rule and what, what forces are there. I asked for a map with mountain passes, crossings, passes. What are the deposits and where?
Dara, laughed out loud, do you want to know all our secrets? But for such a fee, he cheerfully waved half of the "flying money" check, I will gladly give you this information. After all, we will then make more money together on this, right?
Part of the information I can provide you right there, and for the other part we have to take a ride by ourselves. You are Mr. Li Ban want to see everything with your eyes?
