readx;? Old Man Wei's way of making people shut up was simple and rude - he gave gifts to several top families, and in the name of Wei Jue, he said that his grandson had occasionally got something interesting and gave it to his uncle to enjoy. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

The things that each family gets are almost the same, they are a set of rough workmanship, only better than the novel and small and lovely overseas sculptures, a set of twelve, there are figures, there are animals, the expressions are rich, the movements are simple, the size of a single is only enough to hold in the palm of the hand, it can really only be described as "appreciation".

On the desk of Langya Wang's family, this set of sculptures is placed in a row. Wang Cheng had been staring at them for a while, and he still didn't quite understand what kind of medicine was sold in the Wei family's gourd.

"Is there anything special about this thing?" Wang Cheng asked Wang Dao.

Wang Dao had learned calligraphy with Wei Cheng when he was young, and later became friends with Wei Jue, because of these two relationships, and now he was called by the confused Wang Cheng to refer to it together.

Wang Yan, the head of the family, sat at the top, pretending to be mysterious, but in fact, even he couldn't guess the Wei family's plan this time, so he had to work together.

"I saw similar sculptures at the general, but the style was different, and there were many more overseas paintings. Another peer, Wang Jialang Jundun, spoke.

Wang Dun has a talent, sparse eyebrows, simple personality, and in history, he cooperated closely with his cousin Wang Dao, who became the prime minister, and jointly assisted King Langya (Emperor Yuan of Jin) to establish the Eastern Jin Dynasty, and respected the political pattern of "king and horse ruling the world together". But he acted both right and evil, and finally embarked on the road of rebellion, failed, and died.

Old Man Wei cherished his talents, and did not suppress Wang Dun to shine, but only secretly restrained Wang Dun and did not allow Wang Dun to leave Beijing, so that he could always do things under the nose of the general Wang Ji.

Wang Dun is not a powerful minister now, and he has no ambition to rebel, he happily follows Wang Ji every day, and feels that Wang Ji's personality as the eldest brother of the family is simply too much to his liking.

——This is a sympathy from one Secondary 2 disease to another Secondary 2 class.

From the younger brother Wang is good at planning paragraphs, there are few styles, and the knowledge is clear. After getting the consent of his brother Wang Yan and Wang Cheng, he picked up the sculpture and weighed it in his hand, and the texture was heavy, which was by no means a feeling of falling that ordinary materials could have. He had a clear idea in his mind: "This is not an ordinary sculpture. ”

Wang Cheng: "You're not talking nonsense. ”

Wang Meizi dragged his uncle and asked Wang Cheng not to speak too impulsively, even if he was a family with Director Wang, but in the end, he was already very distant in terms of blood relationship, and he couldn't be too polite.

Fortunately, Director Wang had a kind personality and didn't mind, but just ordered someone to bring it to him, and little by little he peeled off a certain surface of the sculpture, revealing the golden inside.

= Wang Cheng was shocked, and after waving off his subordinates, he personally opened another sculpture and got the same result. Unwillingly, Wang Cheng simply gave the twelve of them a scoop, "When did the Wei family become so rich? No, what is the Wei family going to do? bribe? What are you bribing our family for?"

A similar conversation was staged in many Maisons that day.

Of course, there is an ulterior motive for sending gold nuggets, but Old Man Wei euphemistically informed this intention by playing dumb riddles. This can also be regarded as a test, a test of the intelligence of teammates. Qualified, we are good friends, go overseas to pan for gold together, not qualified...... Then it is no one else, I will give you a set of gold, and it has been benevolent and righteous. Anyway, the last thing the Wei family lacks now is money.

The Langya Wang family or Wang Dao was the first to figure out the trick: "This set of things, do you know how many Wei families have sent?"

Wang Meizi said everything he knew, even if they were all more thoughtful people, not limited to whether they had a good relationship with the Wei family, but they must be families that had little contact with the vassal kings of all walks of life: "Oh, by the way, when the little lady asked us to go out, we also gave one to each person, saying that it was a fresh picture, and I didn't care much about it." ”

Wang Meizi is now also a member of Wei Jue's small group, and their small group can no longer be described as a "small" group in the development of these years.

Director Wang estimated the number in his heart, and said, "What about the batch that the teacher (Wei Qiang) sent to the palace before?"

"A few cars, paintings, sculptures, mirrors, everything. Wang Meizi, who is still a junior, answered Director Wang's question.

The number in Director Wang's heart jumped up a few more times, and it almost reached a shocking number, and he also stabilized his heart in his heart before saying, "This is an invitation from the Wei family." ”

"What please?"

"Let's go overseas to dig gold together. ”

"What?" This time, even Wang Yan, who has never loved money, looked at Director Wang intently.

Director Wang said his rough estimate: "When the junior brother (Wei Jue) sent people out back then, I probably know how many things he prepared, and some of the porcelain is still the seller I helped him contact. Those things are definitely not enough in exchange for the gold that the Wei family gives away without avoiding people now. So, where did the Wei family's gold come from?"

"Where did it come from?" Wang Cheng still didn't react.

Wang Dun looked at his brother helplessly, thinking to himself, his family said that he had developed limbs and a simple mind, but it was clear that Wang Cheng was simpler than him, so he had no brains, and the things on his neck were just to look taller: "Since the opening of the Silk Road, we have known that there are different countries overseas, and the national strength is also very strong, but most of them are still backward in life and not educated." But they were interested in our porcelain, silk, and tea, and in exchange for gold and silver, which could be said to be lucrative. Where does the large amount of gold and silver come from? Gold and silver mines. And those people seem to be pretty good to deal with. ”

To put it simply, six words, people are stupid, there is a lot of money, come quickly.

Wang Cheng finally understood: "The servants of the Wei family have found a gold mine overseas?"

"There must be more than one. Wang Yan looked at his stupid brother with disdain, "I'm afraid it's so big that the Wei family is afraid that they can't swallow it, and they need to find allies and countries to come forward." ”

The group of big men of the Langya Wang family who are not afraid of the sky and the earth took a breath at the same time, imagining in their hearts how much money they must have.

"No wonder Your Majesty wants to set up the Imperial Merchant. ”

Whether it is the royal family or the family, at present, they are definitely not willing to come forward to do this in person, they need a spokesperson, and the imperial merchant is the spokesperson chosen by the royal family.

"Is it credible?"

Whether the imperial merchants are credible, whether the Wei family is credible, and whether gold is everywhere are all questions that need to be clarified. In fact, if you think about it carefully, no matter how old man Wei is, it is impossible to deceive people with this kind of thing, and he will not make such a low-level mistake as "provoking the anger of the public".

But the family is basically the lord who doesn't see the rabbit and doesn't scatter the eagle, they can't believe it because of such a statement, they need more direct proof.

To be honest, the more villainous people will secretly think, if there is really so much gold and silver, the Wei family will take the initiative to expose it and share it with others? What benefits can this bring to the Wei family?

Just when everyone was skeptical, history sent a wave of small assists.

In summer and May, Jing and Yang were flooded. Du Yuan, the younger brother of Hao San, the Xiongnu, led Feng Yi, Ma Lanqiang and Lu Shuihu people in the northern area to rebel and attack the northern land, and the northern Taishou was killed in battle. Feng Yi, who had just been in office for less than a month, guarded Ouyang Jian too much, and fought with Du Yuan, and Ouyang Jian was defeated.

At the same time, the comet appeared in the east. Yizhou assassin Zhao Wei and Luoyang Liuren Li Zhen, killed Chengdu Shi Gengsheng, Qianwei Taishou Li Mi, Wenshan Taishou Huogu, Xiyi Captain Chen Zong, and occupied Chengdu to rebel. Shocked the nation.

The rebellions that occurred in two different places, one in the south and one in the north, but similar in time, echoed each other from afar, making the imperial court a little overwhelmed for a while.

Ouyang Jian and Wei Qi hurriedly sent back the distress letter at the same time.

Ouyang Jian is Shi Chong's nephew, and he has been engaged in materialist dialectics with Pei Chong. In the winter of last year, the Huns Hao San rebelled, and Feng Yiduwei suppressed the rebellion by dividing it by two. Feng Yi Taishou and Du Wei were meritorious and promoted to official positions. Feng Yi's position as a taishou was vacant, and Shi Chong wanted his nephew to be more motivated, so he tried to find a way for Ouyang Jian to get to this position of taishou. Ouyang Jian always had a bad premonition, pushing and hindering, he just didn't want to go to work, but in the end he couldn't resist the thighs of his family, so he had no choice but to leave for Feng Yi in April this year, and ...... at the end of May Feng Yi was in chaos again, and Hao San's younger brother threatened to avenge his brother.

Ouyang Taishou wanted to cry without tears, and he didn't forget to complain in the letter to Wei Jue: "I'll just say it, I have a bad premonition that Qaq helps, San Lang." ”

And Wei Jiaerlang Wei Qi, he chose to go to the county next to Chengdu to be the county guard, and waited for a rebellion for a long time, thinking that it was finally his turn to show his might, and the combination of him and Wei Yi and Shi Le was indeed awesome in the early stage, so that the court always felt that this kind of small rebellion could be solved in minutes. Which Cheng thought, I don't know which link went wrong, and it became a protracted battle.

Now that he is short of food and money, he can only write letters for help.

There were wars going on in both places, not to mention those restless vassal kings, and other Hu neighbors who refused to admit defeat, and the ministers were simply anxious. The treasury was empty, and it was simply not enough to support the long-term operations between the two places.

"What to do?" everyone was waiting for His Majesty to make a decision.

Is it to protect Chengdu first, or to protect Feng Yi.

Emperor Jin Hui looked puzzled: "Why choose one of the two?"

The courtiers are very helpless, because they have no money, Your Majesty, you forgot that we only fought in winter, and later we were exempt from taxes for disaster relief, and the landlord's family now has no surplus food. Someone, if they don't have money, do they pile up corpses with corpses? Fighting a war is a very costly thing, and the imperial court is not completely out of money, but it is not enough to divide the two places.

Emperor Jin Hui was even more puzzled: "Who said I don't have money?"

"Huh?"

The families who had guessed the gold mine in advance thought to themselves, ", the Wei family won't really make a gold mine, right?" And then they all handed it over to the state? This consciousness is too high, right?

Later generations of historians have not understood the Wei family's initiative to share the news of the gold mine, and in the end it can only be described by the noble quality of Wei Qian and Wei Jue's grandson who are dedicated to the public.

But only Wei Jue and Tuoba Liuxiu heard the words of Old Man Wei that night: "There is no impermeable wall in the world. ”

"As soon as there is a proper profit, capital will be bold. If there is 10 percent profit, it will be guaranteed to be used everywhere; if there is 20 percent profit, it will be active; if there is 50 percent profit, it will take risks; if there is 100 percent profit, it will dare to trample on all human laws; and if there is 300 percent profit, it will dare to commit any crime, even at the risk of hanging its head. —note to Capital chapter XXIV, section 6.

How many people who thought they possessed mysterious treasures ended up dying on those treasures? Instead of hiding Hao Xuanhe for a while, it is better to exchange things that do not belong to themselves for the longevity of the family.

Until the modern age of this world, the Wei family is a well-known ancient family, mysterious and powerful, and the family that once stood side by side with the Wei family no longer knows how many generations have changed. Only the Wei family has risen and fallen in the torrent of history, standing majestically, as if it will continue to exist like this.
