Volume 3 Pen Knife Spring and Autumn Chapter 505 The Co-Lord of the Western Regions
Cao Yi looked at Ji Taixiang with a shocked face, first of all, he was very sure that Ji Taixiang had never received instruction in painting or calligraphy, because his posture of holding the pen was wrong, in this era, everything was respectful and rigid in the form of almost strict times, if there was a teacher to guide and educate, he would never be allowed to hold the pen in this posture.
But in the absence of guidance and education, Ji Taixiang can have such an amazing talent for painting, and in drawing, he is also very talented, just a few strokes, but can depict the entire terrain very well.
Cao Yi has been going back and forth every day in the Zuixianlou for almost a month, so he is naturally very familiar with the surroundings, and knows that Ji Taixiang's painting score is not bad, but this is the most terrifying point, Ji Taixiang He only came to the Zuixianlou on the first day today, and he walked around for a day, except for the people who could find the three waves of surveillance and observation around the area, he could still paint the surrounding terrain so realistically.
This shows that he is not only very observant, but also very skilled in spatial structure, so he is able to draw directions in this way. Cao Yi looked Ji Taixiang up and down, and saw that the latter was a little nervous, originally heard that the other party was so miserable, so he was a little interested in his bad luck, on the one hand, because the other party was too pitiful.
Who would have thought that a person who was just picked up later, would be a baby, with this kind of talent, it is too suitable to be a Taibai secret guard, this kind of front-line reconnaissance, and then come back to draw, the key is that Ji Taixiang This person naturally seems to have a special set of concealment and observation, according to his own words, today he walked three or four times around the alley around the drunken immortal building, and the Taibai secret guard did not find out.
You must know that under Yun Qing's teaching, the Taibai Secret Guard can be said to be very powerful in anti-reconnaissance and anti-tracking, but from the current point of view, a person who has never been trained and only uses an instinctive reaction to avoid the observation and attention of others can already be ignored from under the nose of the trained Taibai Secret Guard.
This is enough to prove the terrible thing about Ji Taixiang's talent, unpolished, he can already deal with the well-trained Taibai secret guard. However, Cao Yi is a little overestimating Ji Taixiang's talent.
Because the Taibai Secret Guard's side of monitoring and observing are all those who always look at the Drunken Immortal Tower, and Ji Taixiang walked three or four times, but he always had his back to the Drunken Immortal Tower, the Taibai Secret Guard was naturally extremely easy to ignore him.
But even so, Ji Taixiang's talent is already difficult for others to match, not to mention that he also has the ability to accurately depict his own observation, it can be said that the ability to complete the formation of one plus one is far greater than and, it can also be said that Ji Taixiang's ability, even if there is no progress in the future, it is enough to become a treasure on the battlefield.
If it is known by the border troops, it will definitely be robbed on a large scale, and Ji Taixiang's ability can be said to be God's reward for food, and he will not be hungry anywhere. Of course, the premise is that this ability of his is discovered and put to good use.
Maybe Ji Taixiang himself didn't realize that he had this kind of outstanding ability before, Cao Yi thought of such a talent, but before he knew himself, he was almost starved to death.
Fortunately, he found him, and he can put him in the place where he can give full play to his talents in the future, the more Cao Yi looks at Ji Taixiang, the more satisfied he is, and the look of joy in his eyes will not appear.
Ji Taixiang himself was a little scared by Cao Yi, and now that Cao Yi's eyes looked at him, he unconsciously took a step back, I heard that those rich and noble brothers, as well as the talented people, seem to like that kind of beautiful and beautiful reading children, Cao Gongzi will not have this idea about himself.
Although he looks quite rough, not as thin and tender as those people, but if Cao Gongzi has a heavier taste and is used to eating that kind of sober food, and suddenly wants to have a heavy taste, wouldn't it be dangerous for him......
Thinking of this, Ji Taixiang took a step back, Cao Yi reacted at this time, quickly restrained his smile, and said to Ji Taixiang: "Taixiang, I have sent you a lot of your advantages, I already know which direction I will take you to the Taibai secret camp for training, you will definitely help me a lot in the future!" ”
"Really?" Hearing Cao Yi say this, Ji Taixiang was also very happy in his heart, and suddenly ignored what he had just guessed in his heart, and even felt a little guilty, how could he think of Cao Gongzi so dirty, someone else is a good person......
Cao Yi naturally didn't know that he had been awarded another good person card in Ji Taixiang's heart, and he was still in the joy of discovering a talent, and said to Tan Yun: "Tan Yun, you go and call Liu Baiqing over and say that I have something important to tell him." ”
Tan Yun took the order and left, and after a while, Liu Baiqing knocked on the door to ask, and after Cao Yi let him in, he directly asked him to see the content drawn by Ji Taixiang on the table.
After reading it, Liu Baiqing looked at Cao Yi puzzled: "Childe, what is this?" ”
"These three waves of people around our Drunken Immortal Building are all watching and observing, do you have an impression?" Cao Yi motioned for Liu Baiqing to sit down, and then asked.
"Of course there is, I ask one of the Taibai secret guards every day, the results they monitor every day, Childe, is there something wrong?" Liu Baiqing asked, he knew that Gongzi also knew about the existence of these three waves of people, and now in this map, the map around the Zuixian Tower was drawn very accurately, and the location of the three groups of surveillance observations was spent, so he took it for granted that this was drawn by Gongzi.
Since Childe has drawn it now, and he has specially called him over to ask him about this matter, there must be something wrong with it, so he asked.
Cao Yi looked at Liu Baiqing, his face was a little serious: "The monitoring and observation of our Taibai secret guard is not very complete. There had been a big flaw in the middle, but so far they hadn't noticed it. ”
Liu Baiqing saw Cao Yi with such a look, and sighed in his heart, Cao Gong had never said anything similar to him before, if there was any problem, the son also raised it calmly, let them solve it quickly, could it be that there was really something big wrong this time.
"You see this, right?" Cao Yi pointed to the picture on the table.
Liu Baiqing nodded.
"This is painted by outsiders, and I didn't know in advance that there would be three waves of people watching and observing the Drunken Immortal Tower!"
Liu Baiqing's face changed abruptly, Childe's words are already very reflective, which shows that the other party has already touched the door of the house, but the guards at the door have not found the other party yet, and judging from such detailed drawings of the other party, this has at least been touched many times, right?
"Childe ......"
Cao Yi stretched out his hand to interrupt Liu Baiqing's words, and stretched out a finger, "One day!" It only took one day for the other party to walk around our Drunken Immortal Tower three times before drawing this picture...... Let me ask you, Bai Qing, did our Taibai secret guard find any suspicious people around the restaurant today? ”
Liu Baiqing said unnaturally: "I haven't reported it yet." ”
"Has it not been reported, or has it not been discovered?" Cao Yi said lightly.
"Childe! I'll deal with it! Liu Baiqing opened his mouth and returned.
What he said about dealing with it was to ask the Taibai secret guards who were watching outside, and walk around in person to see where there were still blind spots. Of course, the punishment of those Taibai secret guards is indispensable.
"Don't be in such a hurry!" Cao Yi stopped Liu Baiqing again, looked at him the latter, and a smile appeared on his face for the first time since Liu Baiqing entered,
"Bai Qing, don't you want to know who drew this picture?" Cao Yi asked with a smile.
Liu Baiqing saw his son-in-law smiling, and knew that the matter was not serious, and at this time in the house, except for this picture, he had not seen it before, and the rest of Tan Yun and Gongzi knew the roots, and the only one who didn't know much was Ji Taixiang, who had dinner together today.
Liu Baiqing's eyes aimed at the latter, and found that Ji Taixiang happened to be looking at him, Liu Baiqing's heart moved, and he said: "Childe, the person who painted this painting can't be the little brother in front of him, right?" ”
"Exactly!" Cao Yi smiled and nodded, "It was he who painted it, on the first day I came to Zuixian Tower today, and in one day, I walked around three or four times outside, and our three waves of people were stunned and didn't find it, but he found our three waves of people, and he drew a detailed battle map." ”
Yes, Cao Yi is not wrong to call this an operational map, thinking that this map has drawn a detailed terrain and the distribution of forces, isn't it a detailed map and troop distribution during the battle, with this kind of map, then the war summary can be the absolute first hand and advantage.
"I will add at the end that he has not received any guidance and training, and he ...... purely by instinct" Originally, Liu Baiqing already had a high opinion of Ji Taixiang in his heart, but with Cao Yi's last sentence, Liu Baiqing's heart had changed from surprise to fright.
This is really a natural scout...... Liu Baiqing sighed in his heart, and then his heart suddenly moved, and he quickly said: "Childe......" and then gestured to Ji Taixiang with his eyes. schoolbag
Cao Yi nodded: "Well, he will meet Jiangning with us this time, I told him to throw him to the Taibai secret camp for training, and then you and Brother Yun will discuss it to see if it is Taibai Secret Guard or Dust, I am more inclined to Dark Guard in my heart, of course, the final decision is in the hands of Brother Yun." ”
"Hmm...... I also agree with Childe's words, he was born to eat the bowl of rice of the dark guard......" Liu Baiqing nodded.
"In the past two days, he will follow you, you can pick something to talk to him first, and it is okay to teach him first, so you should familiarize yourself with it in advance." Cao Yi looked at Ji Taixiang and said.
"Okay, Childe, no problem, I'll take it with me for the next few days." Liu Baiqing said excitedly.
"Taixiang, we still have four or five days to meet Jiangning, you have followed this Liu Baiqing and Brother Liu in the past few days, follow him, he will teach you what to do, you don't care about the rest, you just need to watch more and learn more, no problem, right?" Cao Yi, I got it.
"Hmmm! I'll study hard! Ji Taixiang nodded.
In the following days, Cao Yi and Tan Yun returned to the time when they first came to Yangzhou, and there was basically nothing to do, and Zuixianlou was already on the right track. Yu Youwei and Jin'er have been coaching these twelve orchestras for the past two days, wanting to teach them as much of their own skills as possible before returning to Jiangning.
And the red sleeves followed Qingwen and Qifei throughout the whole process, because the next step was for Qingwen and Qifei to be in charge of all matters in Yangzhou in Zuixianlou. So in the past few days, Qingwen and Qifei have already started to get started.
Red Sleeves followed them, watching how Qingwen and Qifei managed, how to deal with the problem, Red Sleeves will only point out when the problem is bigger, and guide it, if it's a small problem, then don't talk about it first, wait until Qingwen and Qifei are done dealing with it, and then bring it up and communicate with the two of them, if it is better to do this at that time? There was a hidden danger in doing that at the time.
For three days in a row, Qingwen and Qifei have made great progress, and they have become more and more handy in handling things, and they are no longer as busy as they were at the beginning of the three days.
In the past three days, Cao Yi has taken Tanyun to wander around Yangzhou City, wandering around, the major attractions in Yangzhou have basically been visited, all kinds of snacks in Yangzhou, and finally a large class has eaten into Tanyun's stomach. This made me feel as if I had returned to the days when I first crossed over here, when I was in Jiangning, wandering around with red sleeves.
Of course, Cao Yi returned to Jiangning this time, not just leaving, he still has many friends in Jiangning, whether it is through his senior brother Fei Haomiao, such as the other three of the four talents, as well as Lu Xiaofeng, Wang Honghua, and the rest are Chen Feibai, Zu Wenhan, Wen Shi and other veterans in the literary world.
Or they met through business cooperation, such as Liu Defa, the richest man in Yangzhou, these people are told and said goodbye. The others are okay, they will meet friends with the text, and by the way, just bring up the matter of leaving Yangzhou. Because Liu Defa is a businessman, he naturally can't be called when he gathers with those talents.
So Cao Yi also went to Liu Defa's house to say goodbye, and asked him to help take care of Zuixianlou in Yangzhou, for the request of partner Cao Yi, Liu Defa naturally agreed, and by the way, he also mentioned whether the cooperation could be expanded, and he wanted to double the amount of cooperation on the basis of the previous cooperation.
After getting along for a period of time, Cao Yi naturally has his own judgment on Liu Defa's personality, under the established interests, this person can still be trusted, not to mention that the money is inexhaustible, if all the Taibai drunk and Qinglian wine are produced and sold by themselves, it is true that the money is earned by himself, but the income is slow, and the supply exceeds the sales.
Cao Yi doesn't want to be a century-old store at the moment, and after earning enough money, his focus will be shifted to the Western Regions, and the Taibai Chamber of Commerce is just a channel to create stable wealth for him.
So he didn't think about storing any ten, twenty, or thirty years of old liquor, he just hoped that the liquor he produced could be sold immediately in exchange for money.
For Cao Yi now, what he urgently lacks is wealth and time, and he has a way to spend enough time to obtain wealth, but he has no way to speed up time, so he still likes a partner like Liu Defa. Give him the wine, and you will get more than half of the money immediately, and the higher the rest is sold, the more he can earn.
The key is that Cao Yi earns stable money, no need to bother, and there will be no bullshit troubles and troubles, Cao Yi naturally likes it, so when he and Liu Defa parted with the banquet, he made a decision right away, and the goods that Liu Defa took from his side doubled in the future.
At the banquet, Liu Defa also proposed to continue to act as an agent for the sales of Huayu soap, as for this, Cao Yi has not yet made a plan. Because the production capacity of Huayu soap is not enough to support Cao Yi to take out a large amount of soap to Liu Defa.
Like Liu Defa, the purchase is hundreds of thousands of taels of silver, even if he is given a price of 500 yuan a piece, hundreds of thousands of taels of silver will require double the amount of soap, which is far from being able to provide such a large amount of soap for Cao Yi's existing soap workshop, so Cao Yi is just shirking the current lack of production capacity, and he still needs to go back to calculate before he can reply.
For Liu Defa, being able to double the volume of liquor has made him satisfied, as for Huayu soap, there is the best, it doesn't matter if there is not, this matter is in a hurry, take your time.
But he is very optimistic about Cao Yi, a young talent younger than his son, in terms of dealing with people and things, Liu Defa feels like facing an old man in his seventies and eighties, who has seen the ups and downs of the world, no matter what situation he encounters, he can deal with it calmly and calmly.
This makes Liu Defa very optimistic about Cao Yi, with super ability, but he knows how to make a fortune in a muffled voice, and when he faces more wealth, he can calm down and resist the temptation in this regard, at Cao Yi's age, it is already rare in the world, Liu Defa wants to know what kind of scene it will be when Cao Yi grows up completely.
But now, since he has met the fledgling Cao Yi and let himself know this treasure that is destined to explode in advance, he must bind himself firmly to Cao Yi. When Cao Yilong flies for nine days, he and even his own family can follow Fuyun straight up.
That is to say, Liu Defa, who has earned a lot of wealth, pressed the treasure on Cao Yi, who is still very young and his own strength is even relatively weak, of course, it is not quite right to bet on the treasure, after all, Liu Defa also made money by cooperating with Cao Yi, but the profit he earned was actually slightly inferior to his old bank of transporting salt and selling salt.
But Liu Defa believes in his own vision, he has always seen people accurately, and he is also very confident in his own vision, since the first meeting between him and Cao Yi, he has made judgments to Cao Yi in his heart, and with the deepening of understanding, this judgment is getting higher and higher.
From the beginning of the newborn cow is not afraid of tigers, and then to the son of tigers and leopards, although it has not been written, there is already a cow-eating atmosphere, and then to the golden scales are not things in the pool, and they will turn into dragons when they encounter wind and clouds.
Even Liu Defa himself sometimes wonders why he is so sure that Cao Yi, a young man, will definitely soar in the future, and it is not a soaring prosperity in the general sense, but the kind of existence that is either rich in the world or in power.
Of course, this is also partly due to the fact that he sent someone to Jiangning to investigate. Cao Yi didn't hide much about his identity, as long as he inquired a little, he could know.
From the Yangzhou Zhizhou Fei Haomiao is his senior brother to investigate, Jiangning people, under the Jiangning Mansion Supervisor Lu Meng, this is the existence of two phases, not to mention the peach and plum all over the world, but throughout the crown of the capital, all of them have been mentioned and reported by him, you can see the terrifying power behind this old man, which has shocked Liu Defa.
However, Cao Yi still has a double identity behind him, his father is the current Xiongzhou Jiedu envoy Cao Bin, who is the only one who has become a privy envoy as a military general in the Dayan Dynasty so far. At that time, it was the time of the Northern Han Dynasty's Northern Expedition to Liao, and the troops were frequently used, in order to be cheap, so Cao Envoy at that time was in the hands of military and political power.
It can really be said that the power is tilted towards the government and the opposition, although later due to the defeat of Qigou Pass, he was demoted several levels, demoted to the general of the right Xiaowei, and led the envoy of the Xiongzhou Festival, but Liu Defa believes that Cao Bin is bound to make a comeback.
And Cao Yi's master Lu Meng is also very likely to appear for the third time, if he really waits until that time, the monstrous power and the wealth that will inevitably enrich the world after a few years of development, what kind of character will Cao Yi be, Liu Defa He is looking forward to it. The prince will have a kind of Xiangning, and it is not impossible to go to the next level.
Of course, this idea is very rebellious, Liu Defa just buried it deep in his heart, if Cao Yi really develops to that point in the future, then he will be an old acquaintance at that time, if there is something to do, it is not impossible to become a minister from Long. If it doesn't develop to that point later, you can also have a lot of wealth and wealth.
Judging from the previous communication with Cao Yi, Cao Yi has ambitions, in addition to wanting to see Zuixianlou all the rich cities in Dayan, he even discussed with Liu Defa whether the power of the Salt Gang has expanded beyond the borders of Dayan, such as Dali, such as the Western Regions, such as Daliao.
Even Cao Yi inquired in great detail about the situation in the Western Regions, especially the Hexi Corridor, and asked very clearly, and even called out Huang Man'er who came from there to ask. From that time on, Liu Defa already had a premonition that in the near future, Cao Yi would definitely go there.
In Liu Defa's view, there is no agreed regime there, and it is a borderless land where forces of all ethnic groups gather, and there are hundreds of forces, large and small, some large and small. But now it's in a very good balance, and no one can move anyone. But at this time, if a foreign force with strong funds and strong force suddenly enters, then the previous balance will definitely be overturned, and at that time, the entire Hexi Corridor will be a moment of change.
Anyone has the opportunity to take the position, take advantage of the situation to encroach on small armed forces, gradually grow stronger, and finally reach the Whale Swallowing River West Corridor, the possibility of deterring the entire Western Regions, if at that time, after becoming the co-master of the Western Regions, how to get along with Da Yan and even Da Liao, Liu Defa did not think deeply, after all, all this is his own prediction.
Cao Yi's willingness to ask about the land of the Western Regions was also his own guess, but in Liu Defa's heart, he had a faint strong premonition, Cao Yi, he would definitely go to the Western Regions.
