The next day, there was a drizzle in the early morning.

When Uncle Zhong got up, he saw Li Kou pacing with his back in the courtyard.

Why is this guy so deep all the time?

Uncle Zhong hurriedly reached out and touched it under the pillow.

The so-called plan that Li Dalang wrote last night was a request that he must bring to Miss Ma.

In the end, the guy still said: "Everything she thinks is beneficial to me, and I really don't know how to repay it." ”

With such a sentence, Zhongbo can rest assured.

Although this guy is a strong man, what he says does count.

But what he said yesterday, why is he so worried today?

Is he worried that the lady of the Ma family will not be able to help him complete the plan?

Zhongbo guessed wrong, Li Kou only thought about doing business with Xixia at this time.

The things he asked Miss Ma to do, the matters to be paid attention to have been set.

Now is the time to consider doing business with Western Xia and maximizing your own interests.

However, Cao Xiu's guy is by no means credible, so how can we reduce the risk of possible treachery due to partners?

Arm.

Only by firmly grasping an armed force of one's own can one safeguard one's own interests.

In addition, it is necessary to protect the interests of the other party in order to continue the business in depth.

So......

Li Kou thought of something.

When he saw Uncle Zhong get up, he took the porridge and a cake that had been boiled.

Uncle Zhong was very angry, he saw that Huang Shu and those young men were also eating the sweet and delicious cake.

"Didn't the old man say that you can save your net worth for a living day with such a splash of water and money?" Uncle Zhong complained.

Li Kou said: "Uncle Zhong thinks I brought it? ”

So what is it?

"I was idle last night, and I had some eggs in the kitchen, and I used a little corn flour ear." Li Kou said, "When you go back later, bring more, but don't let her eat more, she is a snorting person and lazy, and Uncle Zhong wants to ask Gensheng's sister-in-law to watch." In a few days, I'll have someone send some other delicious food home, and don't be so stingy to give everyone more to eat. ”

Zhongbo had a smile on his face, nodded and said nothing.

After eating, Zhongbo immediately set off.

However, there were also those men who went back with him this time.

They brought Huang Shu's secret letter, and Li Kou's secret letter to Hu Dalang.

Their purpose was to find a few of Huang Shu's friends and invite those old soldiers to the Ma family to serve as caravan guards.

Li Kou sent everyone out, and repeatedly told him that "it is better not to do things than to be in danger".

In particular, he advised the young people he had saved: "Always remember the phrase 'people are hopeful'. ”

Several young men said together: "Lang Jun is sitting firmly in Pan Yuan, and with Brother Huang's secret letter, he will definitely live up to his trust." ”

Li Kou told Zhongbo: "It's better to be cautious than to be in a hurry." ”

Zhongbo said: "The old man saves." ”

What Li Kou is afraid of is that no one can save it.

But he will not be able to return to Weizhou for the time being.

He is still the county lieutenant of Pan Yuan for the time being.

Li Kou saw Zhongbo leave, and was about to turn around when Zhi Yanzhi lined his shoulders from behind.

This guy was thoughtful, and he was afraid.

Seeing him pacing with his back hand early this morning, Zhi Yanzhi was sure of one thing.

Li Dalang pondered which unlucky ghost to pit again!

"You tell your brother directly, who are you going to pit again?" Orihiko asked directly.

Li Kou looked at him twice before saying, "I want to buy a horse from Liangzhou." ”

Orihiko was shocked.

Li Kou said: "What does Brother Zhonggu think? ”

Orihiko determined his mood at this moment.

Sympathize.

He sympathized with Cao Xiu, the unlucky guy who was going to be harmed by Li Da today.

Why don't you go against this?

But Zhi Yanzhi sent a promise to Li Kou.

If you can get horses from Liangzhou and even Western Xia, the Privy Council will take care of your business!

"But how could the thieves do such a business with us?" Orihiko scratched his head.

Li Kou made it easy for him to say a truth: "These people, if you are willing to give him a profit, they will find partners other than you; If you can give them 30% of the profits, they will be willing to consider giving you extra care. When you can offer them a business with a profit of 50%, they are willing to take the risk and find ways to help you find the wrong rules. If there is a 120% profit, they are even willing to overthrow their moral system, if there is a 300% profit, perhaps, they are willing to sell their souls, or even kill their knives. ”

Li Kou smiled and said: "As far as I am concerned, the treasures provided to them are neither the grain that Western Xia desires the most, nor the steel they want to buy at a high price, but just some colored glass, maybe some spices, and more importantly, these items, they can sell them at ten times the price in the Western Regions by controlling the great advantage of the Hexi Corridor." Western Xia, is the Western Xia of the Li family; The Tangut people were the cattle and horses of the Tangut dynasty. For the Cao family, they are not short of food, they need more food just to make more profits. They may not be short of steel, and they only need to become a big official in the Western Xia court. But my glazed treasures, they can get several times the profit of these objects from all the people in Western Xia, including the emperor and the common people, the Cao clan can get more profits from these people, do you say they are willing to find a way to sell us horses, or watch these benefits slip through their fingers? ”

Zhi Yan was dumbfounded, he was a real gentleman, but what Li Kou said was all treacherous and vicious truths, and he couldn't refute it, nor did he want to admit the truth.

The blood vessels in Zhi Yanzhi's neck burst out, he looked at Li Kou with wide eyes, and said "But, but, but" for a long time, he squeezed out a sentence: "The only cooperative businessman Da Lang is looking for is the Cao family!" ”

"Really?" Li Kou pointed to the southwest and said, "I'm afraid that Tubo also has a sensitive merchant, right?" Liangzhou, is it really Liangzhou that covers the sky with Cao's hand? Brother Zhe, don't you forget, if people such as nobles in the Western Regions know about the priceless but abundant glass treasures, are they willing to use them as goods to look for business opportunities west of the Green Mountains? If the Cao clan blocks such a business opportunity, and they know that I am willing to grant them a hundred times the best, how will they deal with the Cao clan? How did the Cao clan deal with those Western Xia nobles who were willing to sit on the ground and eat the money to buy roads? Interests, will make these people forget their class, oh, that is, where the origin and interests are, and they don't mind selling the steel knife that killed them for a hundredfold benefit. ”

Zhi Yan was silent for a long time, he didn't know what to say about the guy in front of him.

"How's it going, partnership?" Li Kou asked.

Zhi Yanzhi shook his head: "I won't tell others about this, Da Lang, don't forget ......"

"My ambition is not here." Li Kou said, "The money earned, raising the poor, building water conservancy and transportation, so that the west will no longer stand on the territory of the Central Plains Dynasty with the characteristics of desolation and poverty," he added, "When people are rich, they must be educated, so that the old can be supported and the young can be nurtured, and after that, there are trees in the mountains, the rivers are clear, and all the people live and work in peace and contentment, and I may just want to find a way home, that's all." ”

This made Orihiko both confused and strange.

Didn't you find Kitahara?

"The road, which is visible, is both under the feet and in the heart." Li Kou said abruptly, "If you can see my parents, marry my younger brother, and send my sister to marry, not to mention that it is famous in Weizhou, it will be stomped on the world and frightened, and the princes will be afraid, what is the way?" ”

These words actually swept away the gloom in Orihiko's chest.

"Da Lang is a character, but he is also a sincere man." Zhi Yan smiled and said, "That's it, you kid wants to turn the West upside down, and the Sprinkle family doesn't care, say, how can I help you?" ”

Li Kou raised his eyebrows and blurted out: "The urgent need for food is what I want." ”
