"What the fuck!"

scolded secretly in his heart, Wei Pu couldn't care about it, and he also arched his hand and said: "Second son, I am also willing to help the second son...... No, in fact, after the second son said that, he has been looking for an opportunity, hoping to get an opportunity to show his heart to the second son......"

As he spoke, he glanced at Lu Kuang with indignation, and Lu Kuang also frowned and looked at him unhappily.

Seeing this, Zhao Yu pressed his hand, frowned slightly and said, "Two, two, let me take care of it first......"

With that, he frowned and thought for a few breaths.

I have to say that Zhao Yu was indeed surprised at this moment.

As Wei Pu and Lu Kuang guessed, Zhao Yu did want to gradually control the Lu Ye Freemasonry and make it the power of his Luyang Zhao clan, but given that his Zhao clan does not have any prestige in this chamber of commerce now, and there are many businessmen like Lu Kuang in the chamber of commerce who can compete with the Hou Mansion in other towns in terms of financial resources, so he can only appease those merchants by drawing a big pie.

I remember that after he finished speaking, no one in the audience raised any objections, he thought he had deceived everyone, but he didn't expect that in fact, there were still people who saw his true intentions, but they just wanted to join him, so they didn't debunk it on the spot.

Is that really the case?

『…… Let me try it again, lest you be mistaken.'"

After thinking about it for a while, Zhao Yu pretended to be puzzled and said, "If you two of you, I ...... Not very clear. ”

Seeing that Zhao Yu deliberately pretended to be confused, Lu Kuang and Wei Pu were not surprised, this time Wei Pu took the lead and said: "The second son doesn't have to hide anything. …… Although the second son's methods are indeed very clever, Wei can still see a few points, but he has no intention of being an enemy of the second son, I am willing to help the second son master the Luye Freemasonry, and the second son only needs to let him drink a sip of soup. ”

Seeing that Wei Pu took the lead, Lu Kuang frowned, and also said: "Second son, although Lu agrees with Brother Wei's opinion, the second son may also know that Lu someone's reputation in Ye County is higher than that of Brother Wei, and I believe that he will be able to help the second son." ”

"Brother Lu said this, it hurts a little."

"Where, where, Lu is just talking about things."

"That's a ...... There is no one to plough the thin fields, and there are people fighting for the ploughing.'"

Listening to the words of the two of them, and even a little quarrelsome, Zhao Yu also felt a little funny.

Of course, the Luye Freemasons are definitely not thin fields, and Zhao Yu firmly believes that the Chamber of Commerce he created will play an amazing role in the future.

At this time, Jing Nu came back with a teapot, poured a cup of hot tea for Zhao Yu, Wei Pu, and Lu Kuang, and then sat beside Zhao Yu obediently.

After she poured the tea, Zhao Yu looked at Wei Pu and Lu Kuang, and said to the two with a little temptation: "Listen to me, two of you." …… Maybe the two of you misunderstood something, whether I or I, Zhao, I never thought of doing things that hurt others and benefited ourselves in the future, and tried my best to ensure the interests of every businessman in the Chamber of Commerce, this is my commitment today, and it is also a commitment in the future, which is unchanged. …… If the two of you feel that by following my Zhao clan, you can share the immoral benefits that my Zhao clan has obtained by taking advantage of your power, then I am here to tell you in advance that my father and son will not do that. ”

“……”

Hearing Zhao Yu's words, Wei Pu and Lu Kuang both looked at Zhao Yu in surprise.

They originally thought that what Zhao Yu said about ensuring the interests of every businessman in the Chamber of Commerce was just talking, but now, this seems to be true?

Just when Lu Kuang was thinking about it, Wei Pu preemptively said: "The second prince also misunderstood, I never thought that the Zhao family would use my power to steal the interests of my peers in the Chamber of Commerce, nor did I think of sharing one or two, I was just amazed by the intelligence of the second prince and was willing to defect to the second son." ”

This time it was Lu Kuang's turn to grit his teeth at Wei Pu secretly: "The same is true for Lu. ”

Seeing the two of them take turns to express their positions, Zhao Yu was a little hesitant in his heart.

It's not that hesitating to accept someone else's defection - what's the point of hesitating? Gladly accept it.

What he really hesitated about was whether he could trust the two of them.

"Let's try and see."

Thinking secretly in his heart, Zhao Yu nodded, and said with a smile: "The two of you don't care that I'm young, and I deign to say such a thing as following, the kid is grateful, but do you know what I want to do?" ”

Wei Pu and Lu Kuang glanced at each other, and said in unison: "Please show the second son." ”

Seeing this, Zhao Yu said slowly: "At the beginning of the county government in Gui County, I told about the grievances between my Zhao family and the Marquis of Ruyang, and the grievances between my Luyang and Rushui counties, which is true. …… Ruyang Houfu and Rushui counties, broken their promises, in my Luyang most difficult time to abandon my Luyang, this breath, I have never been able to swallow, so I founded the Luye Freemasonry, on the one hand, I hope that Luyang and Yexian counties can be in the same boat, on the other hand, it is also in the hope that the businessmen of the two counties will be twisted into a rope, and help me take revenge on the Marquis of Ruyang and Rushui counties in the future...... Thanks to the two of you, I will tell you the truth, are you sure you will follow me? ”

Revenge on the Marquis of Ruyang?

Revenge on the Rushui counties?

I have to say that Zhao Yu's words really scared Wei Pu and Lu Kuang a lot.

After a while, Wei Pu licked his lips and asked, "Second son...... How are you going to do it? ”

Zhao Yu said lightly: "The way to deal with Ruyang Hou is very simple, it is nothing more than to attack his family's merchants...... His huge mansion can't rely on food alone, there must be someone at the bottom to help them make money, and when the time is ripe in the future, I will use the method I casually mentioned that day to gradually suppress the business of the Ruyang Hou family; As for the Rushui counties, the method is similar, but when the time comes, it will be the merchants of the Rushui counties, if the merchants of the Rushui counties are willing to join us, then let it go, otherwise, they will be replaced, and after the Rushui counties become the chassis of my Luye Freemasonry, I will deal with those county commanders and try to expel them......"

"......" Wei Pu and Lu Kuang became more and more frightened the more they listened.

If Zhao Yu just wanted to take revenge on the Marquis of Ruyang, they could have agreed by gritting their teeth, after all, the title is different from the official position, and the Marquis of Ruyang is just the 'biggest' Luyang Marquis in the final analysis, and in front of the overall strength of their Luye Freemasonry, it is not invincible.

But the second son in front of him still wants to take revenge on the county orders of Rushui County? This......

I saw that under Zhao Yu's secret attention, Wei Pu frowned and thought for a long time, and took the lead in persuading: "Second son, on the next day, I learned from you that the Hou of Ruyang was domineering, arrogant and rude, but I can also understand the resentment of the second son against him, if the way to make the second son believe in Wei's sincerity is to help the second son deal with the Marquis of Ruyang, Wei is willing to accompany the second son to take risks, but the second son wants to take revenge on the counties of Rushui...... Wei thought it wasn't right. ”

From the side, Lu Kuang also shook his head and echoed: "Second son, the Marquis of Ruyang is already a difficult opponent to defeat, and at the same time, if you provoke Rushui County, Lu Mou also thinks it's not appropriate......" Saying, he seemed to think of something, looked up at Zhao Yu and said: "Second son, you won't be testing the two of us, right?" According to the intelligence of the second son, I don't think I would say such an overly conceited thing. ”

Hearing this, Wei Pu also looked up at Zhao Yu, with a look of sudden realization on his face.

Seeing that Lu Kuang saw through it, Zhao Yu didn't care, anyway, he also saw all the looks of the two of them.

How to say, after he said that almost arrogant declaration of revenge, the two were not immediately deterred, but immediately persuaded him in turn, which made him feel that these two people were still somewhat credible.

And that, for the time being, is enough.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry."

After being exposed, Zhao Yu arched his hand and apologized to the two: "The two of you said today that you want to follow me Zhao, which in my opinion is tantamount to a golden cake falling from the sky, so I am inevitably a little suspicious, and I apologize to the two here." …… As the two of you said, I'm just angry with the Marquis of Ruyang. ”

Wei Pu and Lu Kuang sincerely came to defect, but they were tempted by Zhao Yu many times, and they were naturally dissatisfied in their hearts, but Zhao Yu used the golden cake falling from the world as a metaphor for the two of them to defect, which really made the two of them lose a lot of anger - after all, this metaphor also shows that the second son values them.

As for the second son's desire to take revenge on the Marquis of Ruyang, this is nothing in the eyes of the two.

They are not arrogant, because they know very well that the more than 200 merchants of the Luye Freemasonry will definitely not stay in Luyang and Yexian all the time, and they may not be able to expand their business to other counties in the future, and start a battle with the local businessmen in other counties.

For example, Ruyang, unless they avoid retreating from Runan, otherwise, as long as they expand their business to Ruyang in the future, they still can't avoid conflicts of interest with the Ruyang Zheng family, and they will definitely choose to back down in the past, but now with the Luye Freemasonry as the backing, they may not be able to fight with the Ruyang Zheng family.

Glancing at each other, Wei Pu arched his hand and said to Zhao Yu: "Helping the second prince to be the enemy of the Ruyang Marquis Mansion will inevitably make me suffer a lot of losses, but I believe that following the second prince will definitely get more in the end." ”

From the side, Lu Kuang also said: "Don't worry, the second son, we will definitely help the second son to let out this evil breath." ”

Seeing that the two of them swore with a sworn face, Zhao Yu bowed his hand and thanked him: "Thank you." ”

Afterwards, Wei Pu and Lu Kuang chatted with Zhao Yu for a while, and then they left and returned to the banquet hall.

Sending the two out of the house with Zhao Yu, watching the backs of the two disappear into the night, Jingnu closed the door of the house, and said to Zhao Yu with some concern: "Young master, you told these two people the truth, in case these two people are not trustworthy and betray the young master, what should I do?" ”

Zhao Yu took a sip of the warmed tea and said lightly: "These two people saw through my intentions in the banquet hall, but they did not expose it in public, but contacted me in private, indicating that they would follow their intentions, which shows the eyesight and scheming of these two people...... You say they don't believe it? If they don't believe, they won't come to me. ”

"The young master thinks they can be trusted?"

"At least for now." Zhao Yu said lightly: "Don't look at the Marquis of Ruyang, but my father and son also have the support of Liu Gong and Mao Gong, plus the Luye Freemasonry, in Luyang and Yexian, how can the Ruyang Zheng family help my Zhao family?" The two of them should also see this, and they don't think that our family will lose, plus the benefits of the military market, so they show their intention to follow. Merchants seek profit, and as long as my family can bring them benefits, they will not betray. ”

After a pause, he added: "Take a step back, even if they betray and reveal what I said, it's nothing, it's just offending the Marquis of Ruyang again." And the Marquis of Ruyang, he has long had a grudge against us, even if they don't hold a grudge, I will pay tribute to them......"

As he spoke, he drank the tea in the cup in one gulp, and buckled the tea bowl on the table lightly.

“…… Just a year later! ”
