"It's not new......

Li Zhaoliang shrank in the cotton clothes, shook his shoulders, let the snowflakes that fell on his neckline be blown away by the wind, and looked at Liu Heng indifferently.

Liu Heng opened his mouth, wanting to chase after Li Zhaoliang and ask for clarification.

Without waiting for Li Zhaoliang to speak, Kou Ji opened his mouth to help Liu Heng solve his doubts, "Li Jianai is one of the top generals, how can he not have any background......

Liu Heng frowned, even more puzzled.

Kou Ji continued: "The largest leather shop in Xining City is the Li family's industry; The largest liquor shop is the Cao family's industrial ......"

Liu Heng looked at Li Zhaoliang in a daze, wanting to hear a word of affirmation from Li Zhaoliang's mouth.

I saw Li Zhaoliang say quietly: "The largest cattle and horse market is the Pan family's industry; The largest human market is the Gao family's industry. Several others, in Xining City, also have their own industries.

This is not a secret in Bianjing City.

Although your Liu family is among the generals, we still look down on your Liu family, the reason is that your Liu family is too shallow, and only fixes on one acre and three points of land in Bianjing City, but I don't know how much to accumulate. ”

Speaking of which.

Li Zhaoliang paused, his eyes fell on Kou Ji, and said to Liu Heng with a little envy: "But you kid is lucky to be a brother with Kou Ji." With Kou Ji to help your Liu family, the foundation of your Liu family will be able to make up for it soon.

After your aunt fell, your father was not chased and killed by us, and it was also because Kou Ji helped your Liu family add some foundation.

As long as Kou Ji helps your Liu family make up for it, your Liu family is qualified to sit at a table with us and talk.

I believe that this time will not be too short.

You must know that back then, in order to open the door to the Western Regions, the four of us spent countless manpower and material resources, and it took nearly ten years to barely gain a foothold in the Western Regions.

But it took less than a few years for Kou Ji to become a tyrant among merchants in the Western Regions. ”

After listening to Li Zhaoliang's words, Liu Heng opened his mouth in astonishment.

Kou Ji said indifferently: "I can gain a firm foothold in the Western Regions in a very short period of time, but it has cost a lot of financial resources. It's not like a few of you, you don't want to pay a penny, you just want to rely on the convenience of your authority to do businessless in the Western Regions. ”

When Li Zhaoliang heard this, he felt a little unhappy, glared at Kou Ji and said, "In order to open up the Western Regions, several of us have also spent a lot of financial resources!" ”

Kou Ji raised his eyebrows, looked at Li Zhaoliang with disgust, and said: "Send a group of unused old soldiers to disguise themselves as horse thieves in the Western Regions, rob those passing merchants, and then sell the looted goods, so as to gain a foothold in the Western Regions."

In the meantime, you haven't paid a penny.

Are you embarrassed to say that several of you have spent a lot of financial resources in order to open up the Western Regions?

Aren't you ashamed? ”

Li Zhaoliang's old face turned red and snorted coldly.

Liu Heng had slowly come back to his senses when Kou Ji and Li Zhaoliang were arguing, and he muttered, "Why didn't I know about this before? ”

Kou Ji glanced at Li Zhaoliang.

Li Zhaoliang pursed his lips and said, "That's because you were not qualified to know these things before." ”

Liu Heng turned his head and asked, "Then why are you willing to tell me now?" ”

Li Zhaoliang pouted at Kou Ji, "Ask him ......"

Kou Ji looked at the confused Liu Heng and smiled indifferently: "Because of the current background of the Liu family, they are qualified to know this." ”

Liu Heng was stunned and froze in place.

After a long time, he smiled bitterly.

"It all started with you, fourth brother?"

Liu Heng looked at Kou Ji with a complicated expression, and said, "If it weren't for you, Fourth Brother, I'm afraid our Liu family wouldn't have been able to touch this layer in our lives, right?" ”

Kou Ji and Li Zhaoliang kept silent.

It can be regarded as acquiescing to Liu Heng's words.

The Liu family started fast enough.

But the Liu family is scarce.

There are fewer people who can use it.

Before Coji appeared.

Around Liu Heng are all some green-skinned gangsters.

It is easy for Liu Heng to bully men and women through those green-skinned gangsters, but it is impossible to expect those green-skinned gangsters to help the Liu family buy a big industry, or help the Liu family buy an industry in other places.

Liu Congmei has always been trained by Liu E's side, and it is impossible to help the Liu family buy an industry outside Bianjing.

Liu Congde is not a weapon.

Liu Heng was pressed.

The Liu family can accumulate the foundation, so it's strange.

Liu Heng smiled bitterly and said, "When I was in Bianjing City before, I thought I already knew everything in the world. Only now do I realize that I am a little sitting in the well and watching the sky. ”

Kou Ji comforted: "It's no wonder that you have this matter, your Liu family started for a short time." I haven't experienced any strong winds and waves, and I haven't understood the truth of the three holes of the cunning rabbit. It's not like other people, who have experienced many winds and waves, know the truth of the three holes of the cunning rabbit, and have arranged countless retreats for themselves behind their backs. ”

Liu Heng nodded and said, "This is the reason, but I am a little unhappy in my heart." ”

When Li Zhaoliang heard this, he was unhappy, "What's not happy about you?" What is not happy should be whether a few of us are good or not. We have been planning for decades to get to where we are today.

In just a few years, you have surpassed our decades of hard work. ”

Kou Ji rolled his eyes and said lightly: "I can't complain about this matter, it's purely because you are too greedy." You want to swallow all the money in your stomach, but you never think about taking some money out of your stomach to develop a bigger industry. ”

Li Zhaoliang pursed his lips unhappily, but did not open his mouth to refute.

Koji was telling the truth.

If it weren't for the fact that they were too greedy and exposed many flaws, Kou Ji would not have been able to gain a foothold in the Western Regions.

Liu Heng looked at Kou Ji gratefully.

Kou Ji stared at him and smiled, "Go back and cultivate more henchmen and participate in our business." ”

Liu Heng nodded heavily.

"Fourth brother, among the many generals, which one has the deepest heritage?"

Liu Heng was grateful, and asked the biggest doubt in his heart.

Li Zhaoliang said with a look of envy and jealousy: "The Cao family ......"

Liu Heng was slightly stunned.

Li Zhaoliang said with a pout: "Before we started a few families, the Cao family was already a wealthy family on the Zhending Road, controlling several trade routes to the Liao Kingdom. When several of us were exploring the Western Regions, the Cao family also participated.

Among the many businesses that Kou Ji has made, the Cao family also has a part.

Now the Cao family's business is all over the northwest, far deeper than ours. ”

After a pause, Li Zhaoliang glanced at Kou Ji and sighed, "Of course...... In a few years, it may be a replacement. ”

Liu Heng looked at Kou Ji in astonishment.

Li Zhaoliang's hint is obvious.

In a few years, the Kou family is likely to surpass the Cao family.

Kou Ji cried and laughed: "Don't listen to his nonsense. Among the many businesses in my hands, the only ones that can steadily hold them down are the Yizi Jiaozi Shop and the Forging Steel Workshop.

The big proprietors behind these two businesses are all officials, not me. ”

Li Zhaoliang said faintly: "When the one-word Jiaozi shop is laid in the whole Song Dynasty, the share in your hands will be enough to overshadow a few of us." ”

Speaking of which.

Li Zhaoliang was a little annoyed, "Tell me about you, why didn't you consider considering pulling me in when you founded Yizizipu?" Are you afraid that I have no money, or are you afraid that I have no one?

With me joining, the word Jiaozi shop you created will definitely be laid faster. ”

Kou Ji stared at Li Zhaoliang with a smile, "Pull you up?" Do you think you're dying fast enough? ”

The expression on Li Zhaoliang's face froze, and he said dejectedly: "When I didn't say ......"

It's true that the word Jiaozi shop makes money.

But Kou Ji didn't even pull in Liu Heng and Cao Yan, who were closest to him.

Suffice it to say that the risks inside are very large.

While the three of them were talking, they had already arrived outside Xining City.

Xining City was shrouded in a snowstorm and looked hazy.

A large number of people, under the instructions of many officials in Xining City, were clearing the snow on the official road.

The governor of Xining Prefecture and the regimental training envoy who guarded Xining City, led a large group of high-ranking officials, braved the wind and snow to meet Kou Ji and his party.

"The governor of Xining Prefecture and the regimental training envoy Mu Zichuan, welcome the angels!"

“……”

Other officials in Xining Prefecture bowed down one after another.

Kou Ji sat on the back of the horse and said lightly: "No need to be polite...... This official rushed to Xining Prefecture this time, and there are important things to do, so some of the trips can be reduced. ”

In his forties, Mu Zichuan, who had a long beard and was thin and tall, bowed and said, "Obey the angel's order......"

Kou Ji said again: "Let your people arrange for the three thousand soldiers who came with this official to go down to rest." The rest of the things don't need to be taken care of by you. ”

Kou Ji can privately pay for the people who accompany him, but he can't privately pay for the soldiers of the forbidden army.

The soldiers of the forbidden army had to be arranged by the government of Xining Prefecture.

Mu Zichuan bowed and said, "......"

Koji waved.

"Enter the city!"

Liu Heng immediately ordered his subordinates, supported the guard of honor of the Qincha, and followed Kou Ji.

Kou Ji urged the horse under his crotch, and under the guidance of Mu Zichuan, he entered Xining City.

As soon as you enter the city.

I saw that both sides of Xining City Avenue were full of people.

One by one, they stood neatly against the wind and snow.

The leader is a middle-aged man in his thirties.

The middle-aged man took the lead in giving a salute to Kou Ji.

"I've seen the owner!"

"I've seen the owner!"

As the first shout of the middle-aged man landed.

The people on both sides of the street bowed down in unison and shouted loudly.

The corners of Kou Ji's mouth twitched.

The corners of Li Zhaoliang's mouth also twitched.

The same is true for Mu Zichuan.

Only Liu Heng stared at him and muttered, "It's really the owner of the half-city people......"

Mu Zichuan looked at the people under his rule, and respectfully saluted Kou Ji one by one, and said with a little sourness: "The face of the angel is really ......."

Kou Jigan laughed dryly and said, "The soldiers who accompanied the official have been tired for nearly half a month, and Mu Zhizhou will arrange for them to rest as soon as possible. This official will then go to the Zhizhou Yamen to ask you questions. ”

Mu Zichuan bowed and said, "......"

Immediately.

Mu Zichuan led his officials to contact the soldiers in the army, and led 3,000 soldiers to rest.

After the three thousand soldiers left.

The people escorted the car into Xining City.

Looking at the people in Xining City, they respectfully waited for Kou Ji's speech, and they were amazed one by one.

"I'm going to be good...... Emperor Lao Tzu travels, I'm afraid there is no such scene, right? ”

"Anyway, I haven't seen ......"

"How many people are there?!"

"The mutton soup and warm kang promised to us by the Ministry of Kou Officials, it's time to honor it, right? If you're giving a pot of hot wine, that's even better. ”

"Do you want to find you another mother-in-law and an aunt, and by the way, give you a home here? Something that is not greedy enough. ”

“……”

The people were talking about it.

Kou Ji had already jumped off the horse and walked in front of the middle-aged man with a black face.

"Whose idea?"

Kou Ji asked coldly.

When the middle-aged man saw Kou Ji's dark face, he knew that he had slapped the horse's leg on the horse's leg, and hurriedly said, "It's not the villain's idea......"

Kou Ji raised his eyebrows and hummed coldly.

A trace of sweat appeared on the middle-aged man's forehead, and he hurriedly said, "It's really not the villain's idea." ”

Kou Ji said coldly: "It's not your idea, how can the people get together?" How did you know that I was entering the city at this time? ”

The middle-aged man hunched his waist and said with a bitter face: "The people are grateful for your kindness, young master, and they came spontaneously ......."

Kou Ji widened his eyes and said in a low voice: "Tell me clearly, I can't say it clearly, I killed you." ”

The middle-aged man was startled, and said quickly: "Two days ago, Little Master, you sent someone to Xining City, and asked the villain to prepare mutton soup and flatbread for more than 60,000 people, and also prepare a hot kang for 60,000 people.

Mutton soup is easy to do, but hot kang is not easy to find.

Although our industry in Xining City is large, there is no idle place, and there is no idle hot kang.

So the villain rented some vacant houses from the people and hired them to light hot kangs.

When the people saw that we were looking for so many hot kangs, they had doubts.

After inquiring, I knew that you were coming, little master, so I silently kept it in my heart.

Today, when the villain and the stewards of the major workshops were ready to come to greet you, they spontaneously followed.

At a glance at the villain, the scene is quite big.

Maybe you will like it, so you didn't drive them away. ”

When Kou Ji heard this, he was almost angry.

"Be smart! Very foolish! You don't think I'm dying fast enough?! ”

The middle-aged man shuddered and hurriedly defended, "The villain has no such thoughts...... The villain can't wait for the little young master, you can live a long life. ”

Kou Ji glared at the middle-aged man and snorted coldly: "When I am employing people, I will spare your life first." Hurry up and take your people to arrange for the people who come with me to eat and rest.

If something goes wrong again, I'll cut you. ”

If the middle-aged man is amnesty, "the villain will never dare to ...... anymore"

Present.

Don't wait for Koji to speak.

The middle-aged man immediately beckoned the stewards of the major workshops, or took over the grain and grass from the people, and assigned the people of Xining City according to the roster, and led the people down to rest.

In order to settle the people as soon as possible.

The middle-aged man distributed the mutton to the homes of the people.

It is up to them to entertain the people directly.

However.

The middle-aged man led the stewards to be busy.

But the people of Xining City stood still, motionless, and refused to leave.

There were a few middle-aged men with prestige among the people, with their necks stilted, shouting righteously to the workshop stewards who persuaded them to leave.

"We don't have other thoughts, and we don't dare to disturb the owner's official business, so we want to kowtow to the owner."
