This door does not open from the inside, one day it will be broken from the outside, we take the initiative to open the country, at least occupy the initiative, and if there is a day when it is broken from the outside, it will be too late to say anything. -- Chu Kuang

***

Mo Xiangsi was not convinced by Long Yuan's disparagement, so he had to change into a set of men's clothes, thinking about comparing with those unsightly doormen under Long Yuan's hands, Long Yuan She Mo Xiangsi can't compare, is it possible, he can't compare to those wine bags and rice bags?

Long Yuan smiled mockingly at this and said, "Whatever you want." ”

Saying that, Long Yuan arranged for the maid in the villa to prepare clothes for Mo Xiangsi, and he went to change his clothes.

Mo Xiangsi looked at the table and chair in the Biyue Tea House in front of him, and the maid who was waiting for him to change his clothes, and always felt faintly familiar: "Your name is ......"

The maid saluted Mo Xiangsi and said with a smile: "Slave Yin'er." ”

"Yin'er? It sounds familiar! It's like ......" Mo Xiangsi suddenly remembered, the last time he strayed into the corpse cave of Biyue Tea House, it was this Yin'er who served him by his side for three days. Mo Xiangsi now thinks of the lie that Yin'er told herself, and she is also angry and funny, "Heh, Yin'er, can you convey my gratitude to your owner for saving his life?" ”

Yin'er served Mo Xiangsi to change clothes, the smile on her face remained unchanged, and she said, "The slave and maid naturally conveyed it to the housekeeper. ”

Mo Xiangsi sneered and said, "Then what do you housekeepers say?" ”

Yin'er said: "The housekeeper didn't say anything, and the slave and maid only obeyed the instructions, and the housekeeper let the slave and maid do whatever they wanted." ”

Mo Xiangsi heard that what she said was also reasonable, and she was afraid that a little maid would not know so many twists and turns. Why bother looking for her unpleasant.

Mo Xiangsi said a few more words to Yin'er without pain, and when she came out, Long Yuan was already waiting for her.

Long Yuan raised his eyebrows and glanced at Mo Xiangsi, who was dressed in men's clothes.

Mo Xiangsi raised his eyebrows and smiled: "How is it?" Like, right? ”

Long Yuan didn't speak expressionlessly, but his eyes slowly fell on Mo Xiangsi's surging chest, raised his eyebrows slightly, and said, "If you use a chest wrap, maybe it will be better." ”

Mo Xiangsi was petrified in place in an instant.

Long Yuan was already waiting impatiently. There's no interest in waiting for her to go back and change it. took Mo Xiangsi, who was not a man or a woman, and went to Juxian Hall.

Mo Xiangsi has always had a black face because of Long Yuan's sentence. I can't wait to rush up and bite him to death.

Although the Confucian scholars were more dissolute and uninhibited, in front of Long Yuan, they were still like dogs, and they had already packed up the rules and sat down in the hall.

This hall is like a small banquet hall. But everyone has a desk, and it looks like a school. When Long Yuan came with Mo Xiangsi, the crowd had already pretended to take a book and read it again.

When everyone saw Long Yuan coming, they all hurriedly got up and saluted Long Yuan. Mo Xiangsi raised his eyes to look at the people in this room, but there were not many people. It's just twenty or thirty people, after all, they are not all the disciples of Long Yuan, but only about a small part of business. Most of the politicians under Long Yuan were in the palace of his capital, or they had already been arranged by Long Yuan as officials. Most of these businessmen are from the Shaanxi and Gansu generation with the establishment of the Biyue Tea House in Jiangnan, and Long Yuan came to Jiangnan to slowly come from there, some have been here, but not all, after all, the people of Longyuan are scattered all over the place, and there are thousands of things in their hands, and not all of them have the time to get out, and who to take out to do this, Longyou has had a fine arrangement, although some of these people have been busy for more than half a year, without a trace of leisure, tired and vomiting blood, some people have been idle for two or three years, has been raised by Long Yuan for nothing, and it hurts to be idle, but it is no coincidence that they are sitting here at this moment.

Long Yuan stepped up to the main hall and took a seat, only then did he raise his hand slightly to a person who groveled underground: "This king has said many times, in this Juxian Hall, the capable are respected, and you talented people don't need to be polite." ”

When everyone heard this, they didn't dare to say anything, so they got up and sat down.

Mo Xiangsi flattened his mouth on the side, and said this after receiving the courtesy of others, it was really hypocritical!

Only then did everyone see that Long Yuan came this time, and he actually brought a person with him, this situation is according to common sense, it is Juxian Hall that is coming again, but this person seems to have something strange.

Just when everyone looked at Mo Xiangsi with strange eyes, the sharp-eyed not so nerdy saw that Mo Xiangsi "had a lot in his chest", so he squeezed his eyebrows and motioned to others, so he passed ten to hundred, and everyone was so silent "eyebrows and love", and then, the eyes of the entire Juxian Hall focused on Mo Xiangsi's chest!

Mo Xiangsi's face has turned black into the bottom of the pot, Long Yuan, your uncle! Your grandfather! Your seventh uncle!

Long Yuan looked at Mo Xiangsi's face, the corners of his lips unconsciously hooked up a smile, and then he coughed lightly, and returned to his former strict appearance, and introduced to everyone: "This is a friend of this king, I heard that this king Juxian Hall is full of talents, and today I came to ask for advice. ”

Mo Xiangsiqiang smiled and arched his hand to everyone, and everyone smiled maliciously: "How dare you." ”

Mo Xiangsi politely said a few words before sitting at the table and chair on Long Yuan's right hand, which was also the seat of the honored guest.

Long Yuan's doormen were originally curious about who was going to sit here, and secretly planned in their hearts that no matter who they were, they would have to make things difficult, but looking at Mo Xiangsi and a woman, everyone was a good man who didn't fight with women, and a humble gentleman didn't embarrass women, so they gradually looked away, although everyone was curious about the identity and origin of this woman, but today's main lord was above, and they were more concerned about the issue sent by Long Yuan today - trade with Yunling Kingdom.

On the desktop of Long Yuan's main seat, there were several volumes of strategies handed in by the people below, and while he flipped through them casually, he asked lightly, "What do you think about this matter?" ”

Long Yuan didn't raise his head, but the people below couldn't hold it back: "Every year, maritime affairs are proposed, and every year it ends in vain." ”

Mo Xiangsi raised her eyebrows, she obviously heard the resentment in these words, and hurriedly followed the sound to look, and saw that it was the wild and uninhibited drunk Chu Kuang, although he put down the wine bottle and sat at the desk now, he still couldn't stop his drunken breath.

Qiansong Zhengse said: "Caochen still does not agree to trade with Yunling Kingdom. Zhongzhou is rich and the people are strong, and the money and financial banks in Jiangnan are thriving. ”

Regarding this set of discussions, Long Yuan's disciples seemed to have a lot of supporters, and ordered them to second: "Yes, now that Jiangnan has just experienced floods, and the Jiangnan Chamber of Commerce has also experienced a lot of turmoil, it is the time to have a mild environment to let Jiangnan's business recover. ”

"Caochen has always felt that Zhongzhou should not trade with Yunling State, Zhongzhou has always traded independently, and Zhongzhou's domestic business rules are becoming more and more perfect and mature, and after so many years of prosperity, there has been no disaster, and opening the country, doing business and going to sea will have what kind of turmoil and impact on Zhongzhou's business, no one can say the risk."

When Chu Kuang heard this, he laughed: "Chengping has been peaceful for a long time, the household registration has increased over the years, the military membership is widespread, and the officials are beneficial to the public." Buddha old foreign countries, the consumption of beetles in the middle of the earth, the cost of county officials, several times than in the past. The people are also a little indulgent, and the upper and lower are trapped in wealth! Disaster is coming, and you don't know it. ”

When the people heard this, they commanded that their faces became unpleasant. Some were shocked, some were angry, and some remained unimpressed.

Mo Xiangsi raised his eyebrows, this Chu Kuang, what did he say?

Mo Xiangsi has been looking at others, but she has never found that there is a person who has been looking at her, this person is Zhe Huai, who is different from the other customers here, he is not proficient in the way of business, but he is proficient in the principle of observing words and looking at the internal and external harmony and balance. Long Yuan's group of doormen, all talented are hedgehogs, and what Zhen Huai has been responsible for all these years is to mix among these people, adjust the contradictions between the doormen, know people well, and can be regarded as helping Longyuan manage this group of doormen.

In just a quarter of an hour, Zhen Huai looked at Mo Xiangsi's heart and his mind turned a few times, and he could vaguely guess Mo Xiangsi's intention to come here, and he happened to be next to Mo Xiangsi arranged by Long Yuan, he was the best at speculating on his intentions, looking at Long Yuan at the moment, he also had a trace of understanding in his heart, so he explained to her in a low voice beside Mo Xiangsi: "Chu Kuang's meaning is that after a long period of peace, the population of the people will increase significantly, the expenses will increase significantly, the army will become larger and larger, and the officialdom will become more and more bloated, and these will cost money. What's more, after becoming rich, people's demands are also different from before, not only the pomp and circumstance demanded by officials are getting bigger and bigger, but even the people's lives are becoming more and more luxurious.

On the other hand, because of the long period of peace, there is no worry at all, the government and the opposition are lazy and weak, and they have to get by, and they do not want to forge ahead. The lower the ability of officials to do things, the weaker the state will become. Therefore, every time the dynasty is at its peak, the smoke of turmoil has quietly risen, but everyone can't see it. ”

Mo Xiangsi also intuitively felt that this remark was deafening.

Zhe Huai continued: "Nowadays, people only see that the shape is good, the singing and dancing are peaceful, the people are prosperous, and the people are happy, but when the disaster really comes, they can only regret it. Chu Kuang has a big strategy, a big mind, and a big insight. ”

As soon as Zhen Huai's words were finished, Mo Xiangsi didn't notice that Long Yuan's disciples had already quarreled: "Alarmist! This qiē is just your unfounded worries! ”

Chu Kuang smiled coldly: "Zhongzhou can see from this flood in the south of the Yangtze River that the government is corrupt and there are many disasters, not only to trade with Yunling State, Zhongzhou has already reached the time for change!" Just talk about trade with Yunling country, last year's Huashan on the sword Yunling country mentioned trade with Zhongzhou again, Yunling country warriors in Zhongzhou to make trouble to show off their might, this shows that Yunling country is determined to win Zhongzhou, Zhongzhou and Yunling country's door, we don't open it from the inside, one day it will be broken from the outside, time is not waiting, can not be delayed!
