The Grandmaster Strategist Chapter 11: Move to benefit
In the Spring Festival, there is a dance of Ying Ge Yan in Chang'an City, but there is an undercurrent surging under the calm surface.
The house servant Cui Yang stepped down from his carriage and looked at the bustling crowd in front of the door boredly. His sister is the concubine of Prince Li An. Although not as favored as the side concubine, the prince's son is owned by his sister. He was born, so the husband and wife still respect each other as guests. When Yong Wang was arrogant, although he was the prince’s brother-in-law, the front door was deserted and deserted. Some people even embarrassed him to please Yong Wang and himself. This time the prince has a stable position. The New Year's greetings broke the threshold, ignoring the villains who tended to be inflamed, he walked into the door boldly.
When I arrived at the study, the butler handed over a stack of worship stickers, and Cui Yang took them one by one. After all, no matter how he despised those people, power needs people to support it. Without these walls, how could the prince rule the world? , How can I improve my status? After flipping it, Cui Yang was suddenly attracted by a post. It was an exquisite famous post. The name on it was Ji Cheng, a businessman from Dongchuan. Originally, Cui Yang was not in the mood to see. An ordinary businessman, but with a gift list attached to his name sticker, on which were ten thousand taels of silver and a pair of white walls. This was a very important gift. Even looking at this gift, he could not fail to see this Jicheng. He ordered the housekeeper to invite Ji Cheng in. Cui Yang sat after the bookcase, drinking tea while wondering what this person wanted, courtesy of others, and must ask for something. Can he accept this gift safely?
After a while, under the guidance of the housekeeper, a man of about 30 years old walked in. This man has a handsome appearance and good features, but his eyes are a bit narrow and his nose has some eagle hooks. His image, but his popularity is outstanding. Standing in front of the book case, standing with his hand held hands, he is a person who has lived for a long time at first sight. Cui Yang was shocked, knowing that this person is by no means an ordinary businessman. Cui Yang is able to be a household servant, and he is naturally not an ordinary person. He said lightly: "Your Excellency, please sit down. Although the official position is not high, some things can still be done. Yes, your Excellency is so serious. I don't know what is going on. If it is not obstructed by the law of the country, the official will naturally consider it. ‘
The man laughed and said: "The grass people come here, naturally they are asking for adults. The grass people have a business and want to cooperate with His Royal Highness, but what kind of status is His Royal Highness, we grass folks can’t get close. The adults are the princes and relatives, so we came here. Please, if the adults feel that Caomin’s business is worth doing, I also ask the adults to convey Caomin’s sincerity to His Royal Highness. ‘
Cui Yang frowned and said coldly: ‘The prince is the prince, the whole world, is it a king, why bother to link up with merchants such as You? If this matter, the official can do nothing. ‘
The man sneered and said:'If His Royal Highness does not want to make a fortune, then what does His Royal Highness do for those Zhuangzi in the suburbs of Chang'an? Who is the backstage owner of the Jinyulou in Liren City, Chang'an and the biggest casino in Chang'an? Decree, to mine gold in private outside? ‘
Cui Yang jumped out when he heard the bad news. How could this person know the crown prince’s family clearly? He has been taking care of these businesses for the prince. If things go out, the prince will be reprimanded at most. I'm afraid I will have to abandon office. A trace of murderous aura flashed in his eyes, and he thought that he needed to capture this person, ask him about his history, and then cut the grass and roots, so Cui Yang deliberately said with Yan Yue: "In fact, this matter may not be impossible to discuss, please sit down and have tea. , Let's discuss it slowly. ‘
The butler hurriedly served tea, invited the man to sit down, and went outside to guard the door.
After Cui Yang waited for the man to sit down, he asked again: ‘I don’t know what business you want to cooperate with your Highness. If the officer thinks it is okay, then he can tell the prince. ‘
The man said leisurely and authentically: "This business is not big. This year, Dayong has a drought and the grain harvest has been poor. The price of rice noodles on the market is three times that of previous years, and Jiangnan specialties such as silk are even more valuable. Now, the rivalry between Nanchu and Dayong is as deep as the sea, and the trade between the two sides is completely interrupted. Caomin has some outlets in Nanchu, which can provide food, silk, tea and other special products. I wonder what the adults want? ‘
Cui Yang frowned and thought, this is indeed a good business, but it’s a little troublesome. Although the Crown Prince has some income, but the expenditure is also large. It does not cost money to buy officials, install spies, and raise assassins and killers. It’s every year. The sacrifices required to Fengyimen are not a small number. Look at this man, Cui Yang's murderous look faded, and he wanted to say nothing. He couldn't say that we have no money.
This man is very good at observing words and colors, and continued: “In fact, we don’t really need to pay for your Highness. If your Highness and the adults take care of us, our business can go smoothly. You know, this smuggled goods does not have your Highness to support us. , We will miss it sooner or later. ‘
Cui Yang nodded and said: ‘If so, it’s easy, but how are you going to divide it? ‘
The man laughed and said: ‘The little one is willing to honor His Highness 30% of the profit. ‘
Cui Yang frowned. He knew the huge profits in this business. It would be a pity if it was only 30%, but it would be a pity that he could not provide funds, and it would be difficult to speak up if he had to make too much money.
The man seemed to see through his thoughts and said mysteriously: ‘Actually, the Caomin still has an idea. If the adult is bold enough, the villain is willing to offer 60% of the profit. ‘
Cui Yang was shocked and said, ‘What idea? Come and listen. ‘
The man laughed and said: "My lord is in charge of the household department, and all the food and arms of the one million army of Dayong are under the jurisdiction of the household department. Now the most lacking in Nanchu is the ordnance. If your Royal Highness is willing to exchange the inventory for Nanchu goods , It does not cost your Highness a cent, and you can exchange for more goods. This income can be doubled. After your Highness gets the gold and silver, you can order a batch of ordnance in Dayong to fill the gap. The price difference It should be understood that there is absolutely no problem with only 500,000 taels per transaction. ‘
Hearing this, Cui Yang rose up against the crime, and said angrily: ‘It’s unreasonable, you agitated your own officials and your opponents, are you a spy from Nanchu, you even came to this official to talk nonsense. ‘
The man was so free, and he smiled and said: ‘My lord is wrong, Cao Min is not a spy from Southern Chu, Cao Min Huo Jicheng is the lord of Jinxiu. 'After all, with a wave of his hand, a white light shot from his hand, flew past Cui Yang's neck, penetrated the bookshelf behind Cui Yang, and shot into the wall. Cui Yang was so scared that he was so scared that the door of the study slammed. After being kicked away, the butler stood at the door, his eyes flashing with cold light, and a dagger in his hand.
Huo Jicheng smiled and rushed towards the door. The butler only felt that there was a flower in front of him. The dagger in his hand had fallen into Huo Jicheng's hands. Cui Yang looked again. Huo Jicheng had already sat back in his seat and looked at Cui Yang with a smile. Cui Yang has calmed down. He glanced at Huo Jicheng and said to his heart, if this person is not sure, how can he take risks with his body? If nothing else, if he annoys him, his life will not be saved. He wiped it. Sweating coldly, said: "Leader Huo, please sit down, please sit down, presumably the leader of the alliance is not here to inspire the teacher, right? His Royal Highness eradicated the sub-rudder of the Fairview League in Chang'an, also for national affairs. Huo League is planning to rejuvenate the Kingdom of Shu. It is hostility, this is also helpless, if the leader of Huo wants revenge, the lower officials cannot agree. ‘
Huo Jicheng said indifferently: "This is a good thing. For you, my Splendid Alliance is a rebellion, and the things of Chang'an are also helpless, but those are trivial matters, and they are considered to be loyal to the country, but the saying goes, There are no permanent enemies in the world. We are now being restricted and squeezed everywhere. If things go on like this, we will not only have no hope of restoring our country, but even our lives will not be saved. If your Highness is willing to cooperate with us, we don’t have to regain our country and be a rich man. It’s also not bad. Although His Royal Highness has a stable position, after all, there is still King Yong’s eyes. There are a lot of places to spend money. To put it bluntly, we are the only people who can cooperate with His Royal Highness. The prince’s fault is King Yong. If someone else serves for his Highness, if it falls into the hands of King Yong, I’m afraid that the prince will be fully confessed. Our Splendid Alliance and King Yong’s hatred is as deep as the sea. King Xiang Yong, we also know that if King Yong had set up a plan, King Yong and Shu might not be at war, so there is no deep hatred between us and the prince. If we can help the prince to eradicate King Yong, then we have done our best. My king takes revenge. Moreover, even if someone exposes the cooperation between Splendid Alliance and Prince Edward, do you think anyone will believe it? Who would believe that the prince would cooperate with us against the party, and that the prince had just smashed the rudder of our Splendid League Chang'an. ‘
The more Cui Yang heard it, the more polite he felt. Although he felt that this person was cold and he had no heartache about his brother’s death and injury, but he also felt that this person was right. He hesitated and asked: “The Guimeng brothers still have some In the prison, I don't know what your plan is. ‘
Huo Jicheng smiled slightly and said: ‘If your Royal Highness thinks it’s okay, then let it go. If you think it’s a hindrance, put them to death as soon as possible, lest people doubt the relationship between the prince and the Fairview League. ‘
Cui Yang was heartbroken, this person is really cruel. He closed his eyes and said for a long time: ‘The official cannot be the master of this matter, so let’s talk about it after I tell the prince, you will come back tomorrow. ‘
Huo Jicheng smiled slightly and said: ‘This is what it should be, it should be, but Master Cui, the concubine you raised in the city is already pregnant, why don’t you take it back? Is it the lady jealous? ‘
Cui Yang shook his hand, and the tea cup he had just picked up almost fell off the table. He looked at Huo Jicheng's Junyi face, as if he had seen a devil.
Huo Jicheng respectfully politely said: ‘The Caomin will leave now. If the adults are not in a hurry, like the wife before giving birth, it’s better not to move. ‘
Listening to Huo Jicheng's faint threat, Cui Yang waved his hand weakly and said: "Leader Huo, please rest assured, this official will not deceive, no matter what, this official will not arrange traps to frame the leader. ‘
Huo Jicheng walked out of the Cui Mansion, took a breath of cold air, and felt refreshed. This time he did take a big risk, but it was too attractive. It’s the benefit of the sea. It’s not taking it. As for the fortune-telling What? As long as you live, the Splendid Alliance will not perish. Wait until you get the food, food, and weapons you need, and you can get millions of dollars. Then you can set up the title of the king of Shu and rejuvenate your country. If one day, you can save your son. On board Dabao, he is the well-deserved regent, who will be the enemy of his glory and glory.
A blast of cold wind blows, Huo Jicheng's hot brain calms down, he thought to himself, I have to meet the people in Tianji Pavilion again. If they didn't succeed there, the business would still be impossible.
Walking around the streets and alleys a few times, making sure that there is no one behind him, Huo Jicheng quietly entered a private house, the old owner saw him coming, and did not make a sound, and led him into the bedroom. After taking a few shots under the wall, the wall quietly moved away, Huo Jicheng waved his robe and walked in. Behind him, the wall closed silently.
Under the dim light, Han did not know how to sit in a chair and saw Huo Jicheng coming in, he stood up and said, "Leader Huo, you are here, I don't know how the talk was going." ‘
Huo Jicheng smiled slightly and said: ‘It’s still not clear, it depends on whether you can convince their master, Brother Han, what's the situation on your side? ‘
Han Wuji smiled and said: "I have received the Flying Pigeon Pass. I have agreed to it and promised long-term cooperation. They are in urgent need of these things now, and their treasury has almost been evacuated by King Yong, and they hope to pass it in the future. We get gold and silver materials from Dayong. The credibility of our Tianji Pavilion is still there. If we get through here, we can make a fortune together. ‘
Huo Jicheng arrived at a cup of tea, drank it, and said: “Although our Splendid League is not small in Da Yong, but this time His Royal Highness Thunder is angry. From now on, we will have a hard time. If we can’t buy the Prince, then business Still can’t do it, but you can rest assured that we have personal relationships with many officials. Most of them are princes and one party. As the saying goes, the princes are not a good thing, and these intrigues are hard to come by. Live mine. ‘
Han has no plan to give a ritual: ‘Then please take care of the leader, our power can’t go deep into Da Yong, so it’s up to the leader to bother, but Nanchu, please rest assured. ‘
Huo Jicheng's eyes suddenly flashed a glimmer of light, saying: ‘We know the power of Tianji Pavilion in Southern Chu. If your pavilion master is willing, we can have further cooperation. ‘
Han Wuzhi smiled slightly. He knew that Lu Hou guarded Shu and split the Splendid Alliance's forces to pieces. Prince Germany controlled the overall situation. Splendid Alliance could not form a climate in Southern Chu. Instead, it was in Dayong. Because their current goal did not point to Da Yong, they were able to develop their power under Da Yong's connivance, but now that Prince De is dead, it seems that Huo Jicheng wants to develop into Southern Chu again. Han Wu said in a tactful way:'We understand the leader's heart, but now we are doing this business. If the leader is too aggressive, it will inevitably hurt the business. In fact, the leader does not need to worry. Anyway, this business will be done for a few years. At that time, the leader of the alliance has enough food, whatever the leader does. ‘
Huo Jicheng looked at Han Wuzhi, and his expression was shocking: "Brother Han is really resourceful, I don't know if I can introduce the cabinet master for Huo Mou and discuss cooperation. ‘
Han Wuzhi proudly said: ‘Our pavilion master will give all this to Han’s responsibility. 'Then his face became mysterious, and he continued:' Moreover, the pavilion master never sees outsiders, even Han Mou has only met the pavilion master once, and has not seen the pavilion master's true face, but the pavilion master has spies around any of his subordinates. , The leader must be careful. ‘
Huo Jicheng looked a little hesitant, but after thinking about it, Tianji Pavilion was originally a mysterious organization, no wonder it was so, so he said gently:'Brother Han is also the survivor of the Kingdom of Shu. For the great cause of restoration, he should do his best. Bother, say a few more words in front of the pavilion master. 'He got the heart to win over, and his words were gentle and sincere, and his heart was stunned. In his heart, this person is really moody, and he must be careful not to fall into the hole. He deliberately looked sad, and said after a long time:'Han Mou He is also a member of the Shu Kingdom. How can he not want to restore the country, but the patron does not like to intervene in national affairs, so he is extremely restrictive on us. If this is not for the lucrative, the business pavilion would not agree. ‘
Huo Jicheng thought that he couldn't be in a hurry, and said: ‘Manager’s kindness, Huo, thank you very much, and I have to arrange the following things. This is my goodbye. After it’s done, I will come to discuss the details with Brother Han. ‘
Han Wuji hurriedly got up and said: ‘This matter is urgent, I will not leave the leader, Han will send the leader. ‘
Huo Jicheng Road: ‘Don’t send it off to avoid attracting attention. ‘Han Wuzhi still respectfully delivered to the door of the room, but did not send it out in order to cover people’s eyes.
After he left, the old homeowner suddenly stood up straight and took off the mask from his face, revealing a handsome young face. Han Wuji smiled and said: "Pirate Li, you must remember that if a person is greedy and urges himself to die, Huo Jicheng is indeed cruel. If he draws people together, he is enthusiastic. If he does not know what he is doing, I am afraid that he will be fooled. Acting for people, if you are duplicity~IndoMTL.com~, you can hide it from one person for a while, and you can't hide it for a lifetime. ‘
The young man respectfully said: "Pirate Li and be taught. ‘
Han Wuji smiled and said:'The world is booming, all for profit, the world is bustling, all for profit, the son uses the plan, we really can't think of it, although I don't know what the son intends, but it will never be a good thing. of. ‘
At this moment, the prince’s mansion was also chatting secretly. Cui Yang waited until Huo Jicheng left, and immediately went out to the prince’s mansion. He was the prince’s brother-in-law and the confidant of the prince, and entered the prince’s daily life without hindrance. When I walked into the magnificent hall, I saw the prince wearing casual clothes, watching singing and dancing there. Cui Yang couldn’t help but glanced a few more times. At this point, Cui Yang’s eyes couldn’t turn away. It turned out that these dancers were all wearing Lotus Yeluo skirt, with lotus petals on the upper body to cover up the breasts, revealing muscles like snow, dancing gracefully, graceful and exciting, clearly dressed in revealing clothes, but music and music are not obscene, those women's movements are not twisted, and they are not obscene. It means that it makes people feel refreshed.
Li An saw that Cui Yang was fascinated, and said with a smile: ‘Cui Yang, what are you doing here and why are you standing there? ‘Speaking and waving, the dancers stepped out. At this time, Cui Yang saw that Lu Jingzhong was also sitting aside, and a handsome guard was standing beside the prince.
Cui Yang set his mind and said: ‘His Royal Highness, the minister has confidential matters to report. ‘
The prince frowned. Before speaking, the guard had already said: "His Majesty, there is a dance music under my subordinates. I would like to discuss with the musicians and dancers. It is better to go there first, and wait until it is finished. . ‘
The prince smiled and said: ‘Go, this king is waiting for your new song. Let your brother, keep the outside safe and not allow anyone to trespass. ‘The guard retired. Li An looked at Cui Yang and said, "What's the matter? Say it. ‘
