Shen Zhi went in, the Marquis of Jibei was still angry, it was difficult to restrain himself, and when he saw Shen Zhi coming in, he said, "Shen Zhi, you said that the old man was also smart when he was three hours, but when he was older, he became like this, he didn't want to make progress, he didn't think about the Hou Mansion, and he was really angry." Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info"

"Master Hou, the third prince still can't figure it out, stay for a few days, or figure it out. Shen Zhi persuaded slowly, and when he saw the broken teacup on the ground, he shouted: "Come on, clean up these." ”

Someone came in outside, cleaned up the room silently, and retreated silently.

At this time, a voice begging to see came from outside: "Master Hou, Daochang Li has arrived." ”

Jibei Hou and Shen Zhi glanced at each other, and Jibei Hou said lightly: "Please come in!"

At this time, Jibei Hou regained his composure, slowly drank tea, and a Taoist strolled out, and saluted when he saw Jibei Hou: "Hou Ye, Mr. Shen, the Taoist is polite." ”

Shen Zhi looked at this Taoist person, wearing a Taoist robe, wearing a bamboo crown, a clear face, three long beards, and it did look a little dusty, I don't know why, I was a little disgusted, and asked coldly: "The Taoist is not cultivating in the mountains, what is the matter with coming to the Hou Mansion?"

The Taoist bowed slightly, and said lightly: "The Taoist is here for preaching. ”

Shen Zhi didn't want this person to be so direct, and smiled: "The sermon is not in the tongue, I don't know what magical powers people have?"

The Taoist looked at Shen Zhi silently and said: "You are right, there are hundreds of doors in the world, and they don't rely on their tongues at all, but I will show your tongue today - you are versatile, you were originally a talent, but unfortunately you took the wrong path." ”

Shen Zhi sneered: "I want to hear about it." ”

The Taoist said: "We don't talk about face-to-face, we don't talk about the number of qi, you have been smart since you were a child, you read at the age of six, you wrote at the age of nine, and you were called a prodigy when you were a teenager, but you have literary talents, and you have in-depth, but you have repeatedly failed to be successful, only to show talent, the inherent talent is jealous, and the reason for your strong personality is strong, but you ask yourself, your literary talent, is it really comprehensible?

Shen Zhi sneered and froze, and when he saw the Taoist, he snorted again: "In addition to the Four Books and Five Classics, you are also good at grass, can play the piano, know the rhythm of music, love opera, you are good at ink painting, landscapes, people, flowers and birds, bamboo and stone are all work, and the painting that the third son learned is what you taught, right?"

"It's a pity, can these help lives?"

These words stabbed like a sword, and the man paced and sneered: "You must help your life, or literature, Taoism, or military industry, or wealth and nobility." ”

"You were born in poverty, originally with your literary talent, if you were willing to hide, you might be able to be promoted, but you had a good name in your early years, and you were jealous of the county, and the equal division increased a lot of resistance, and if you want to get ahead, you have to cover all the evils, so that people have nothing to say, but you are distracted, and if you don't strive for excellence in your literary cultivation, how can you be promoted, how can you improve your life?"

"After thirty, your fate has been decided, only by attaching the Lord, can you succeed, the so-called green rope flies by itself, but a few woods, attached to the tail, can lead to thousands of miles!"

What this means is that the cursive writing, piano art, music, opera, and ink painting you play are all things that cannot be developed, unless you want to be an artist, you are from a poor background, you are not good at the imperial examination, and the literary industry is good but not the top, what else can you say, you can only take refuge in others.

Seeing that Shen Zhi was speechless, his face turned pale, and he couldn't help but smile: "What about me? ”

The Taoist smiled and said: "Hou Ye's mind is like this, Hou Ye is a very noble appearance, the time has passed, there was still a chance, a month ago, Hou Ye's green spirit gradually solidified, the governor's green spirit was unbearable, like ash and smoke, with a scattered appearance, and now, it is the opposite." ”

"Now I'm afraid that Master Hou will not only be unable to go further, but also kill himself. ”

The muscles on Jibei Hou's face twitched, and he poured out murderous intentions, but the Taoist was calm, and after a glance, Jibei Hou suddenly came to his senses, this Taoist person was armed with strange skills, and there was a holy prison gate behind him, but he was not a liar, and he turned into a smiling face: "Dao Chief, do you know that I invited you to come." ”

"I know, Hou Ye wants to deal with the governor, but this local Songyun Gate refuses to contribute, and the two ends of the end have even fallen into the well, so Hou Ye is looking for us. The man said.

Jibei Hou calmed down at this time and smiled: "It's good that the Taoist knows." ”

The Taoist turned his head and looked at Shen Zhi: "Mr. Shen, I advise you to persuade Hou Ye to give up Songyun Gate, this sect has been optimistic about Hou Ye very early." ”

Said and looked at Jibei Hou: "Hou Ye, the Japanese Kou is the door to contact Hou Ye, I believe Hou Ye also knows the heart of our Holy Prison Gate, but it's a pity that Hou Ye chose Songyun Gate at the beginning, and now he knows that this door is unreliable, fortunately Hou Ye is still in time." ”

"The way of fate, there is destined, there are man-made, it is mysterious, Hou Ye is not the time to give up. ”

Jibei Hou took a sip of the new hot tea, and then said: "Dao Chief, since we are here, we will discuss the matter and say these words." ”

"Yes, Master Hou. The Taoist saluted, but said: "This is natural, but to be honest, at this time and then, if the Hou Ye wants to get the funding of the Holy Prison Gate, he must also pay sincerity." ”

"Oh, what sincerity does the Dao Chief want?" Jibei Hou's face sank, and he felt a little unhappy in his heart, seeing this, Shen Zhi raised his voice and asked.

The Taoist man's face did not change: "Sincerity is naturally to take our time, let's do things first and gain mutual trust - Master Hou wants to kill Pei Ziyun, we can do it for you." ”

"This son has fought against my door many times, so that the door has suffered a lot of losses, and it has worsened the major affairs of the Hou Mansion, I think, kill this son, presumably everyone has no objection, right?"

"This is natural, it can support the Dao Chief, the Hou Ye has secret guards, they are all elite soldiers, you can send some to you to deploy, but can you clearly catch his footprints?" Shen Zhi asked.

"You don't have to worry about it, someone will help me do it. The Taoist smiled meaningfully.

"Let's get down to business!" Jibei Hou said, "Have you seen the peace, and how to deal with it?"

The Taoist also restrained his expression: "Look, I have some understanding of the Japanese Koumen, on the origin, this is a matter in Fusang, Fusang, the general, the shogunate of the Fusang king seal of the previous dynasty, lost his breath, the princes were fighting, and many losers had nowhere to go, so they plundered Shenzhou by boat." ”

"In the next 50 years, Fuso will have a new shogunate, originally there will be fewer Japanese pirates, but the Japanese who have tasted the sweetness will not give up, the most important thing is that the previous dynasty closed the sea trade, and those who sold cattle, horses, military supplies, iron goods, copper coins, satin, silk, silk and cotton abroad and went to the sea with a hundred rods. ”

"First of all, it is smuggling, and if it fails, it is forcible seizure, and this is the Japanese bandits. ”

"In the Ping Wei policy, there is a sentence that is the key, the general rule of the city is to turn into a business, and the city is prohibited to turn a business into a business, which is really to grasp the main point. ”

Shen Zhi saw that Jibei Hou's face was getting bluer and bluer, and said, "Isn't the Taoist a special trip to praise the enemy?"

The Taoist nodded: "Of course not, I mean, what Ping Wuce said is ruthless and accurate, and there is no luck at all." ”

"But there is a strategy, there must be implementation, and we may be able to take advantage of the opportunity. ”

"I want to hear about it. Jibei Hou said.

"It's a bad thing for us, but it's a good thing to change our minds. The Taoist Kankan said: "Fusang has a great demand for Middle Earth, first of all, silk. ”

"Ping Wu Ce said that the silk cotton is open and the sea is peaceful, which is really the key point, but because of this, can't we take advantage of the opening of the port and the market to make a big profit?"

"You are the Marquis of Jibei, you have money, people and boats, you are willing to enter the market, isn't it the most profitable?"

Shen Zhi and Jibei Hou said "ah", and they were suddenly dumbfounded, as if they had opened the door.

"Silk cotton is the most, followed by pots, porcelain, lacquer, medicinal materials, Fusang produces a lot of silver, if we can take the lion's share of the trade, I am afraid that hundreds of thousands of silver can be expected. ”

"Master Hou has this silver, what is so difficult to do?"

"Moreover, if the governor opens the port and the market a lot, we can not only make huge profits, but also create trouble, store goods and markets, send people to harass us, and even attack the price of rice. ”

"There are those so-called upright people who jump out of the ring with the governor and denounce everything as the crime of opening the sea. ”

"Master Hou, the key to qi is in a few years, as long as the widows are still there, and the coast is not peaceful, the court will not care about the conquest of you, the emperor is not in good health, as long as he dies, the prince will be another dynasty. ”

"At that time, you can advance and retreat. ”

When Jibei Hou heard this, he seemed to chew an olive in his mouth, and sighed for a long time: "There are so many talents in the world, as soon as I tell you, bad things will become good things." ”

Shen Zhi was said to be "indiscriminate and indiscriminate" just now, and at this time he didn't say a word, only listened with a faint gaze, then coughed, his face softened, and he smiled: "What the Taoist chief said is that the general situation is irresistible, whether it is the time of day or this peaceful strategy, then turn the harm into the advantage." ”

"Master Hou, this strategy is very good, you can follow it. ”

"Oh?" Jibei Hou was stunned for a moment, pacing and considering: "Dao Chief, the bigger this matter is, I have to think about it, you go back first!"

"Shen Zhi, you send the Dao Chief. ”

"Yes!"

Sending this person away, Shen Zhi returned to the study, was silent for a long time, and stepped forward and said, "Master Hou, the ambition of the wolf son of the Holy Prison Gate must be guarded against. ”

Jibei Hou smiled coldly: "They are ambitious, but I don't care, as long as they can help me, these Taoists will help, and I can tolerate it." ”

"But ......" Shen Zhi was about to speak, but Jibei Hou waved his hand to stop him and said, "There is no need to say this, for the sake of the foundation, these are necessary." ”

"Alas!" Shen Zhi had to let out a long sigh, and did not say any more, but changed the words: "This person reminded me, but I have ideas." ”

"Oh, tell me. Jibei Hou's eyes lit up.

"Or these words, since the general situation is irresistible, whether it is the time of day or this peaceful policy, then turn harm into benefit, I didn't finish just now - how to turn harm into benefit?"

"The imperial court wants to reduce the power of the army, so do we automatically cooperate with the imperial court's major policies, respond to the call of the imperial court, disarm the army and return it to the field, and actually turn the elite soldiers loyal to the marquis into zero and turn them into maritime merchants?"

"In this way, it not only makes money, but also protects the fundamentals, if there is a time, you can forge ahead, if there is no time, you can also inherit wealth. ”

"You can also get a respectful name in front of the court, or you can greatly avoid the suspicion of the court. ”

"Huh?" Jibei Hou stood up suddenly, paced again and again, and said, "Okay, good, Mr. is a great talent." ”
