Chapter 254: The Yi Family's Situation
"Master Yi, your Yi family's current situation is worrying." Liu Xian sat down in front of the desk where Fang Cai Gongsun Ming was sitting, picked up a teacup, waved to the girl, and said, "Little sister, can you pour me a cup of tea?" β
"Don't pretend to be a ghost, what the hell are you trying to say?" The girl paused, but still walked over, poured tea for Liu Xian, and said, "Hurry up, why do we need you to save our Yi family?" β
"Anyway, it's just a worrying situation."
"Looking for death, aren't you?" The girl raised the teapot and made a gesture to drench Liu Xian's body.
"Alright, Ji'er, let him speak well." Yi Kai felt a little strange when he saw his daughter and Liu Xian who could talk at first sight, you must know that the daughter Mo Ruo's father, his daughter, would never say more than half a word to a strange man.
He said to Liu Xian again: "She is the old man's daughter Yi Ji, don't pretend in front of the old man, if you have anything to say, you might as well say it clearly." β
"Okay, Master Yi, you are a well-known wealthy businessman in Youzhou. Although I dare not say that it is second to none, among the rice and grain vendors, the head of the Yi family should be in the leading position. And as a leading businessman, then you must have a long-term vision. At the very least, you have to see things that ordinary people can't see. β
"Oh? You, a milky boy, dare to talk about the visionary vision of a businessman in front of your husband? Are you teaching the old man to do business? Then what is the thing that ordinary people can't see? Yi Kai listened to what Liu Xian meant, as if he was alluding to the fact that he did not have the foresight of a businessman, and he couldn't help but feel a little unhappy in his heart, and frowned.
"Don't dare, don't dare. It's just that I think the head of the Yi family shouldn't have gone anywhere else for a while. Dare to say that the head of the Yi family should not have been to a place outside Youzhou for several years to understand, right? β
"Heh......" Yi Kai smiled disdainfully: "The old man does business, it is impossible for the old man to do it himself, right?" What's more, three hundred and sixty lines, every industry, has its potential rules, the old man's business fortune, in fact, is only in Youzhou, if you go to other places, you will inevitably be squeezed out and suppressed by businessmen in other places. In addition, if the old man does not sit on his own territory, he will inevitably be taken advantage of by his peers to seize the market, and when the backyard catches fire, the gains outweigh the losses. β
"The head of the Yi family has misunderstood, what he said below does not refer to business problems, but to the general trend of the current situation of this big man. As a big businessman, if you can't grasp the general trend of the world, then in the end it is not as simple as a chicken and an egg, and if it is not good, it is a problem of losing your head. Liu Xian picked up the tea that the girl Yi Ji had poured for herself, took a sip and moistened her lips.
Yi Kai was even more disdainful, this kid who was about the same age as his daughter actually pulled the general trend of the world? We're just a businessman, what's the general trend of the world?
He shook his head and thought, this kid looks like a human, but he is too ambitious.
"The old man is just a law-abiding businessman, and this general trend in the world is not for the old man to consider, nor for businessmen like me to consider." Yi Kai wanted to end the conversation with Liu Xian and was ready to send off the guests.
Liu Xian looked at his face, but he was also sighing secretly in his heart, this is easy to open, and there are really some problems with his vision. If you don't look at the general trend of the world in business, you are really looking for death. It is no wonder that in history, Yi Ji was probably killed by Gongsun Zan and buried in the sea of fire together, and the Yi family was probably destroyed by Yuan Shao in the defeat of that war.
Think about it, as a big businessman, how did Xuzhou Mizhu do it? People hugged Liu Bei's thigh, and his name will remain for eternity, but what about his Yi family? Liu Xian searched his memory, and among the books about the Three Kingdoms that he had read in later generations, there were really not too many records of the Youbei Ping Yi family. It was only because of Mrs. Yi Ji Yi that the Yi family was mentioned, and how it was, he could no longer find a single piece of paper, and he didn't even leave the name of the head of the Yi family.
"What do you know about the general trend in the world? Still, I'd like to hear your thoughts. Let's hear it. Yi Ji sat aside, holding her cheeks with great interest, and looked at Liu Xiandao.
This is her home after all, so she looks very casual.
But the truth is that this is also Liu Xian's personal charm.
There's no way, this person is handsome, and it's more attractive no matter where he is.
Everyone, subconsciously, will have a yearning for something beautiful. Just like a man, when he sees a beautiful woman, he is naturally attracted and wants to be closer to her. This, in fact, men can ask themselves, when they face a beautiful woman, do they particularly want to be close to her? It's not about how you want to, but even if you have the opportunity to talk to someone, it seems to be a pleasing thing to look at.
And vice versa, so do women.
A handsome teenager like Liu Xian makes people feel a little kind at first glance. Not to mention women, even men will be polite when they see them.
There is no way, Liu Xian's conditions are inherently so good. Especially in the past few months, Liu Xian has grown a lot taller, and he has grown slender but much stronger, and he is no longer the sick and sick he used to be. The whole person looks really refreshing and bright.
Yi Ji may not know what she is attracted to, anyway, she is subconsciously a little close to Liu Xian.
At this time, Yi Ji said so, and Yi Kai naturally couldn't ask Liu Xian to stop the topic.
Liu Xian said in a timely manner: "Doing business in peaceful and prosperous times is completely different from doing business in troubled times. Although the boy is young, he knows a sentence, heaven and earth are unkind, and all things are used as dogs; The saints are unkind, and they use the people as dogs. Did the head of the Yi family see that the current big man is already in troubled times? Did the head of the Yi family see that even this Youzhou is also full of smoke, the people are displaced, the wilderness, and starving prisoners are everywhere? Just imagine, the situation in the world of the entire Han Dynasty is like this, can your Yi family be alone? β
After Liu Xian finished asking Yi Kai, he looked at Yi Ji again and said, "When Miss Yi just came out, she resolutely said that I would not marry. Hehe, do you think you can not marry if you say not to marry? In this troubled world, the people outside can't help themselves, and your Yi family is also involuntarily. β
"So, so what? Is it going to force me to do it? If I can't help it, I'll die! When Yi Ji heard Liu Xian talk about her, she suddenly raised her pretty face with some anger and said very resolutely.
Liu Xian can also see that her eyes are indeed very strong, if she is really forced, she will really not hesitate to die.
"yes, it's a big deal. Sometimes, however, there are some things that cannot be solved by death. The simplest, the knife is on your father's neck, do you say you will marry or not? β
"What? This, this can't be! β
"What's impossible? You know, it's a troubled time now, you go outside and see, how many people have died? Oh, by the way, when I came to your Yi Mansion, I happened to see you coming back with people, and those big wooden barrels in them were made by you to make porridge and give alms to the hungry people, right? In this way, you should also have an idea of what kind of world this world is now. You Yi family, big family, big business, in fact, is a piece of fat in the eyes of others, everyone wants to bite you. β
Liu Xian seemed to be speaking to Yi Ji, but in fact he was speaking to Yi Kai, speaking of this, Liu Xian looked up at Yi Kai and said, "Master Yi, I think you should have some understanding, right?" β
What Liu Xian said is the truth, how could Yi Kai not understand? In fact, he never wanted to think about the bad things.
In fact, he also knew in his heart that his daughter was taken by Gongsun Zhan, so he couldn't escape no matter what. No, it should be said that Gongsun Chan first set his eyes on the wealth of his Yi family, and then fell in love with his daughter.
He can pretend to be high-minded in front of Gongsun Zhan's subordinate Gongsun Ming, but he also knows that he is just a businessman, at most a businessman with a little fame. But in front of the court officials, in front of those people in the court military, he is nothing at all.
If Gongsun Chan came to propose to him today and asked him to solve the food matter for him, then he really couldn't refuse to agree, and he couldn't refuse to give it.
"Tao Te Ching?" Yi Kai has also read the Tao Te Ching and knows that there is the sentence that Liu Xian said. He sat down slowly and said to Liu Xian: "It seems that although you are young, you still have some knowledge and vision. That's right, the current Han Dynasty is indeed coming in troubled times, and in troubled times, human life is as cheap as mustard. But it's up to you? Can I save my family from trouble? β
"That's right, for me Liu Xian, there are always more ways than difficulties. It depends on whether the head of the Yi family is willing to listen to the kid, and whether he is willing to give up some and get some more. Liu Xian knew that he had already spoken to Yi Kai's heart, so he could take a long time.
"It's okay to listen to you, I just don't know what the old man has to give up and what he can gain." Yi Kai really wants to hear what Liu Xian has to say now, if Liu Xian doesn't say it, he really won't let Liu Xian go. Of course, on the surface, it still maintains a certain reserve.
Liu Xian didn't care about these details, first smiled at Yi Ji, who didn't seem to understand well and was a little dazed on his face, and turned to Yi Kai and said: "When the troubled times of the Han Dynasty come, don't say what the situation will be, and don't say what kind of situation you will face, Master Yi, I believe that you have already empathized with the Master of the Yi family and have been deeply affected." What I want to say is that the Hundred Years Dynasty Thousand Years Family. This sentence, the head of the Yi family should also understand the meaning. β
Liu Xian looked at Yi Kai meaningfully, paused and said: "In the peaceful and prosperous era, but the Han Dynasty values agriculture and light business, and the Yi family, as a businessman, is naturally not looked down upon by officials and those families, but he has a successful career, which is the ability of the Yi family, and if you have money, you will have an identity and status. But this is only among the general population. In the eyes of others, I'm afraid it's really nothing. In this troubled era, it is an opportunity for the owner of the Yi family, a good opportunity for the merchant to become a family. But the premise is that it depends on whether the head of the Yi family has such a far-sighted vision, and he can choose the right person to support in this fateful decision. β
"First Qin Lu Buwei Lu Xiang has heard of it, right? He is the ultimate businessman. β
"LΓΌ Buwei? Odd goods? Yi Kai's heart jumped violently, how could he not know Lu Buwei? In fact, as a small accomplished businessman, which one is not on par with LΓΌ Buwei? He is indeed weighing whether he wants to take refuge in Gongsun Chan or Liu Yu, after all, this is not a joke, once this starts, then he can only go on wholeheartedly in the future, and it is difficult to quit on the way.
"Haha, it seems that the head of the Yi family understands in his heart. However, I want to remind the Yi family that what the main thing to learn is LΓΌ Buwei's vision, don't repeat LΓΌ Buwei's ending, don't think about what one person is above ten thousand people, and don't think about it at any time. Because the wealth in the hands of a businessman is the original sin, and if you don't know what to do, then there will be no good results. β
Liu Xian reminded Yi Kaidao.
Yi Kai waved his hand and said with a serious face: "Liu Xiangongzi said with a smile, Lu Xiang is indeed an example for me and other businesses to learn, but this is only in terms of operation, but nothing else." What's more, the old man didn't think about that at all, in fact, he just hoped that the old man and the Yi family were safe. β
"Ask Liu Gongzi, now in front of the old man, there is actually no choice, there are only two choices, one is the current Youzhou Mu, and the other is General Gongsun Zhan. According to Liu Gongzi's opinion, who is better for the old man to choose to support? Yi Kai really asked Liu Xian for advice with a sincere face at this time.
Through this rehash with Liu Xian, Yi Kai no longer dared to treat Liu Xian as an ignorant teenager. Because he felt that Liu Xian's heart seemed to have completely explained the difficult situation of his Yi family. In this current situation, he really can't escape.
"No, Master Yi, strictly speaking, in fact, you only have one choice, or you have no choice at all, you have to take refuge in Gongsun Zhan. Lord Liu Yu? Oh, he can't keep your Yi family. β
"Oh? What about that? β
"Because of her." Liu Xianchong pouted at Yi Ji in front of him and said, "Gongsun Zhan proposed to your Yi family, which involves the personal affairs of the children." How can Lord Liu Yu stop it? If she marries Gongsun Zhan, do you still have a choice? Not to mention that Lord Liu Yu is a state pastor, and he can control the officials and officers and soldiers of Youzhou. The power of the military horse is in the hands of Gongsun Zhan, what can Liu Yu do? What's more, your Yi family is in Youbeiping, and Gongsun Chan will come to Youbeiping sooner or later, how will you deal with yourself when the time comes? β
"yes...... That's what the old man is embarrassed about, especially Yi Ji, she doesn't like Gongsun Zhan. Yi Kai sighed a little dejectedly.
"It has nothing to do with whether she likes it or not, it can be seen that the head of the Yi family doesn't seem to be very optimistic about Gongsun Zhan, right?"
"Oh? Can you see that? Yi Kai looked at Liu Xian with some surprise.
This is really the case, if he was optimistic about Gongsun Chan and thought that he would have a better way out if he took refuge in Gongsun Chan, he would have completely relied on it. How could he embarrass Gongsun Ming because of this money and grain matter?
