Zhang Hui has seen many high-ranking officials and dignitaries in his life, but he is the first person who is so young and interesting like Li Ze. Li Ze seems to be a complex of contradictions, many obviously contradictory and almost incompatible traits have been embodied in him, but they are partial, but they are seamlessly connected. Such a person is either a genius or a madman.

Obviously, Li Ze is not crazy, then he can only be said to be a genius.

Zhang Hui is not a rotten Confucian who ignores things outside the window and only reads holy books, on the contrary, it is precisely because he is extremely concerned about current affairs and full of responsibility for the world that he resigned and left under extreme disappointment and came to this small village to work and live. Because in his opinion, the world is hopeless.

But even when I got here, even if my heart was cooled, I still couldn't help but pay attention to current affairs in the world. And his disciples all over the world have also sent him in the form of letters what happened in various places. So he is no stranger to the situation in the world.

Read all the books in the world and see all the things in the world. Even if Zhang Hui only uses these letters, he has almost seen the world thoroughly. But it was this kind of understanding that made him understand that the Tang Dynasty was gone, and chaos in the world was almost inevitable.

Li Ze's sudden rise surprised him very much, but Li Ze's governance strategy made his eyes shine.

In Zhang Hui's view, everything Li Ze did in Yizhou was undoubtedly to the point. He is trying to pluck the abscesses from the Empire. For now, he's confined to a corner of his rule, but what if he could wield more power and control more territory?

Of course, in the current situation, if you want to do all this, the first thing is to have strong force, and without strong force as a guarantee, everything is vain. It's like Li Ze's implementation of measuring acres of land and counting households, if it weren't for the snow bright knife to press the formation behind, I'm afraid that Li Ze's bones would have been gone.

Zhang Hui is very clear about the relationship between the huge power of the local heroes and the intricacies.

Li Ze's identity provides him with the ability to do this. Today, the festival is cut off, but almost everyone is busy squeezing the people's power and expanding the armament, like Li Ze, who focuses on the people's livelihood and puts the culture and governance before the martial arts, but it is rare.

Whether it can succeed or not, Zhang Hui doesn't know, but Li Ze's appearance made Zhang Hui's almost dry heart ripple again.

This is the reason why Li Ze was able to enter the house immediately when he arrived at him. And some temptations, after some conversations, finally prompted Zhang Hui to make up his mind to go to Chengde.

It is up to people to plan things, and it is up to heaven to make things happen. Since there is hope, it is natural to work hard.

The two had a great conversation.

For dinner, Li Ze naturally cooked it himself. Because he had enough time, Li Ze simply sent Chen Changping, Li Mi and others to the mountains to hunt game, and go down to the river to fish and shrimp, which is fresh mushrooms and new bamboo shoots, which are naturally indispensable.

Gongsun Changming, who was finally allowed to enter the door, could only stay in a corner of the courtyard aggrievedly, holding a kitchen knife, cutting fish scales, digging fish gills, plucking chickens, skinning bamboo shoots, and don't be unhappy, otherwise he will be expelled again. Even the guards entered the room, and Gongsun Changming naturally couldn't afford to lose this face and was expelled again.

After a whole afternoon of busy work, a big banquet appeared on the table of the Eight Immortals where Zhang went home, and a full sixteen dishes filled the table.

With the blessing of Tozhang Hui, Li Mi, Chen Changping and the other guards finally tasted the feast made by their own hands.

After nightfall, Li Ze and Zhang Hui fell asleep, and Gongsun Changming, who was sad in his heart, was drunk and was put back into the tent outside the courtyard by Chen Changping.

Although he entered the door for dinner, he did not have his bed for sleeping.

Gongsun Changming was extremely aggrieved, and this person recommended it to Li Ze by himself. It's really self-inflicted, but this self-brewed bitter wine, no matter how bitter it is, he has to drink it.

During the banquet, Zhang Hui sneered at Gongsun Changming, and Gongsun Changming only didn't know. Of course, this is not that Gongsun Changming is inferior to the other party, but thinking that this person has just entered Li Ze, he is a little worried that if he openly quarrels with each other, it will be difficult for Li Ze to do it, and when Zhang Hui will take root in Chengde and can no longer leave, he will find today's field back.

Zhang Hui said well, in terms of Tang Huangyangmou, he is indeed inferior to him, but he is too far behind in terms of conspiracy and trickery. Fighting with him, he can't see it from afar, but he is losing in front of him, but he is strong enough to make this old boy eat a few times.

After a night of talking about the past and the present, he never closed his eyes for a night, but Li Ze still embarked on the return journey the next day with glory. The trip went smoothly, somewhat unexpectedly, he was ready to fight a dozen protracted battles, but in the end it was a blitzkrieg.

He coveted Zhang Hui, not only because of Zhang Hui himself, but also because of this person's huge prestige, because this person's disciples all over the world, as long as Zhang Hui returned to Chengde, even if only 12 out of 10 were willing to follow their teacher to re-emerge, it would be a huge gain for Chengde.

After these people gather in Chengde, they can not only alleviate the shortage of officials under their own command, but more importantly, they can cultivate new talents in an endless stream from now on.

Zhang Hui is not the kind of sour rot in later generations, his people are still practical, and the first thing is still practical, and the pursuit of economic governance emphasizes the six arts of a gentleman, all of which are indispensable. Like Zhang Hui himself, if he really puts on armor and lifts the horizontal knife, he can also kill the general and capture the flag, even if it is not as fierce as Shi Zhuang Tuchun, but it is definitely not inferior to ordinary generals.

happily returned to Luoyang Quy Nhon Garden, but Tu Hu had been waiting for a long time.

"You're just in time." Before the buttocks were hot, Li Ze excitedly said to Tu Hu: "Mr. Zhang Hui promised to go to my Wuyi, with this person, it will be like planting a plane tree, which will inevitably attract many phoenixes to inhabit, and more importantly, it can cultivate countless talents for us." ”

"Does Childe want me to arrange Mr. Zhang's journey north to Wuyi?" Tu Hu asked.

Li Han nodded: "Exactly." I am now on the cusp of the storm, I don't know how many people's eyes are staring at me, and Mr. Zhang Hui is also a famous figure in the world, he lives in a small village, those people are deserved, but if he wants to go to where I am, I am afraid that many people will be unhappy, and there will be some bad intentions. ”

Tu Hu nodded slightly.

"Mr. Zhang Hui's trip, you can't make a mistake, so you must personally handle the arrangement of this trip, and all links must be considered. The required manpower can be called at will. Li Ze said: "And when I visit Mr. Zhang Hui, I'm afraid I can't hide it, so you must be careful about this arrangement." ”

"I see. Don't worry, I don't know when to leave? Tu Hu asked.

"The sooner the better, Mr. Zhang can go anywhere at any time, just wait for everything to be arranged on your side."

"Yes." Tu Hu nodded.

"Are you looking for me today, do you have an eyebrow about business?" Tu Hu has always been relieved to do things, and Tu Hu, who is old in the rivers and lakes and is also familiar with government affairs, does not need Li Ze to remind him too much about the importance of this matter.

"It's not just an eyebrow, it's almost done." Tu Hu said with a smile: "With this gold-lettered signboard of His Royal Highness King Fu of the Eastern Capital's defense envoy, there is no disadvantage. Now Yixingtang has set up three shops by the Luoshui Wharf, and bought two warehouses in Quy Nhon Fang, and is now decorating the façade, just waiting for the façade to be decorated, it can be opened. ”

"This is King Fu's compensation for us." Li Ze smiled and said, "How many shops are on the edge of the dock?" ”

"Yes! The transportation is convenient and suitable for us to do things. Tu Hu smiled and said: "With these shops, we have a foothold in Luoyang, and then Yizhou's inkstone, Zhaozhou's silk, Shenzhou halva, Cangzhou wine and other goods with local characteristics can appear in Luoyang, and our business model and means are far from Luoyang's local merchants can be compared, soon, we will be able to occupy a place here, and then become one of the leaders here, grasp the right to speak." ”

"It's good to hold the thigh of His Royal Highness King Fu well." Li Ze reminded.

"Childe, our own name is hard enough, of course, His Royal Highness King Fu can't put this flag, when the time comes, I will naturally give him some dry shares, and I will say that it is the meaning of Childe." Tu Hu smiled and groaned. Yixingtang's closing methods, after Li Ze's words and deeds, those local shopkeepers, really regarded other competitors as nothing, and the strong background, thick financial support, and let them not be afraid of any other suppression, under this double blessing, Yixingtang everywhere, and his competitors are all mourning, either merger, or bankruptcy.

At this time, Luoyang is still the commercial center of Datang, and it is naturally not trivial to be able to hold business here. And if you have the right to speak, you will also have the right to set prices, and one word can make people become extremely rich, and one word can make people destitute.

Li Ze laid a nail in Luoyang, its ultimate goal is to take advantage of the canal here, to stretch his hand into the south of the Yangtze River, with the great development of the south, the southward shift of the economic center of gravity is inevitable, others don't know this, how can Li Ze not know?

The lake is wide and ripe, and the world is full. This is not just talking, and when this sentence appeared, the population of the world was many times more than it is now? How can we give up the benefits of the south in the competition for the world? And if anything can't be laid out early, it will inevitably get twice the result in the future.

Now that Li Ze is not able to influence the south politically, he can only put his little hand in the economy first. The northern lands he now controls have an inexplicable attraction to those giant merchants in the south.
