Qufu County, Confucius.

The incense burner in the house curls, the whole room is full of fragrance, and all kinds of home furnishings of golden silk nanmu are placed in an orderly manner, which sets off the whole room with brilliance.

Yan Shenggong Kong Yanjin leaned on the couch and frowned, holding a letter in his left hand, shaking it subconsciously, obviously encountering some problem, weighing the pros and cons.

And Mr. Shan, who had just come back from Dongpingzhou, stood aside without saying a word, looking at Kong Yanjin, the Holy Father, from time to time, his eyes flickered, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

After a long while, Yan Shenggong Kong Yanjin said out loud: "Sir, is Yushan Town really as you said, enterprising, high-spirited, and martial? It's the first time I've heard of a place like this! ”

Mr. Shan said in a deep voice: "The words of the Holy Father of Hui Yan are indeed so! To be honest, I had never heard of or seen such a place before! ”

Yan Shenggong Kong Yanjin was still a little unconvinced, and asked again: "Isn't it a little exaggerated?" ”

Mr. Shan said with great certainty: "The words of the Holy Father of Hui Yan are not exaggerated! ”

Immediately afterwards, Mr. Shan thought for a moment and added: "Yan Shenggong, I think that Yushan Town seems to have appeared out of thin air, and it is different from the surrounding places. That Liu Juntao and the people of Yushan Town are all active and enterprising people, and there is no twilight and death like other places. Moreover, there are all kinds of skills and crafts in Yushan Town, which not only save time and effort, but also save me unseen and unheard of! Such a place and such a person make me feel that it is better for our Confucian Mansion to be friends with him, and not to fight against it unless it is absolutely necessary! ”

Hearing this, Yan Shenggong Kong Yanjin fell into contemplation again, his face was constantly changing, obviously still weighing the pros and cons, and he couldn't make up his mind.

According to the true thoughts of Kong Yanjin, it is best to use the name of Yansheng Gong Confucius Mansion to shock Liu Juntao, and then use the people of Confucius Mansion to empty the industry of Yushan Town, and bring Yushan Town under Confucius's hands, and finally give some silver to Liu Juntao!

In this way, the Confucian Mansion can take Yushan Town without blood!

However, Mr. Shan's words today made Yan Sheng Gong Kong Yanjin feel very uneasy in his heart, if Liu Juntao and his escort team are really so strong, and the villagers in Yushan Town are really all high-spirited, then it will never be a force willing to be subordinate, and Yan Sheng Gong Kong Yanjin's wishful thinking is not destined to succeed, and it will even bring disaster to the Confucian Mansion because of this!

The reason why the Confucian Mansion has been able to be inherited for thousands of years and continue to extinct is that the Yansheng Gong of the past dynasties will judge the situation and never let the Confucian Mansion be in danger, and each generation of Yansheng Gong will make the decision that is most in line with the interests of the Confucian Mansion at the most appropriate time!

Yan Sheng Gong Kong Yanjin is the same, no matter what happens, the first thing is to protect the interests of the Confucian Mansion, and he will never take risks easily!

And for Mr. Shan, Yan Sheng Gong Kong Yanjin is still very trusted, what Mr. Shan said, Yan Sheng Gong Kong Yanjin has always been obedient and has no doubts.

But today, Mr. Shan's remarks about Liu Juntao and Yushan Town made Kong Yanjin, the Holy Duke of Yansheng, hesitate a little, and he couldn't make up his mind for a while.

"Liu Juntao? Yushan Town? ”

Yan Shenggong Kong Yanjin muttered over and over again, and finally said: "Since Liu Juntao is so martial and decisive, then the Yushan Town Guards are so strong, why has it been unknown before?" On the territory of Yanzhou Mansion, I know all the big and small heroes and families, why haven't I heard of Liu Juntao and Yushan Town before Kong Sancai's defeat! ”

Mr. Shan paused when he heard this, obviously organizing the language, and then replied: "If you want to return to the Holy Father, I also thought of this problem when I went north, so I inquired along the way: it is said that this Yushan Town was originally a small village under Huakou Town, called Yushanji, which is not a famous place, just a poor and remote place!" ”

"But since the seventh year of orthodoxy, this Liu Juntao suddenly appeared out of nowhere, so he took Yushan to gather a group of villagers on a rampage, exterminating the Yushan bandits, destroying the Wang family in Huakou Town, collecting the Liu family in Anshan Town, defeating the Chen family in Henan Province, until the recent destruction of Kong Sancai in Ningyang County! Yushanji has not only developed and grown in this duel after duel, from a poor rural area to Yushan Town, accumulating a splashing wealth, and the Yushan Town Escort Team has also become the number one force in Yanzhou Mansion, with thousands of people and horses, horse teams, and firearms! All of this is thanks to Liu Juntao! ”

After listening to Mr. Shan's words, Kong Yanjin, the Holy Father, was also moved, and his heart was even more surging.

Such a character, such a deed, anyone will not be indifferent after listening to it, they will be moved!

Although Kong Yanjin, the prince of Yansheng, grew up in a wealthy Confucian family, he is not a gentleman who has never seen the world and has not experienced hardships.

Kong Yanjin, the derivative public, knew in his heart that to develop a small village into today's Yushan Town, and to train a group of poor farmers into a victorious and well-known Yushan Town escort team in Shandong, this is a miracle in itself, a miracle that is even more incredible than the Arabian Nights!

Ask yourself, Yan Shenggong Kong Yanjin knew in his heart that if he were to be himself, he would definitely not be able to achieve Liu Juntao's results today!

What's even more incredible is that Liu Juntao did all this in just four years! And how old is Liu Juntao this year? I'm afraid I'm just in my twenties this year! What will such a young talent look like in the future? ”

Yan Shenggong Kong Yanjin couldn't imagine it, and Mr. Shan couldn't imagine it, and the two of them were shocked when they thought of this.

Thinking of this, Kong Yanjin, the sage of Yan, could no longer afford to compete with Liu Juntao in his heart, and gave up his plan to win the industry in Yushan Town!

So, Kong Yanjin, the derivative public, said to Mr. Shan: "Then Liu Juntao proposed in his reply: All the industries in Yushan Town, our Confucius Mansion can contribute silver to shares, and when we make money, we will distribute silver to our Confucian Mansion every month." However, our Confucian Mansion cannot send people, cannot inquire about the skills of various workshops, cannot interfere with the sale of various goods in Yushan Town, and cannot purchase and resell goods privately! ”

Speaking of this, Yan Shenggong Kong Yanjin asked, "Sir, do you think I can agree to such conditions?" ”

Mr. Shan pondered for a while and said, "If you return to the Holy Father, it depends on whether the Holy Father of Yan is seeking wealth or power!" ”

"If the Holy Father of Yan is only for wealth, then such a condition can be agreed. Our Confucian Mansion doesn't have to care about anything, just sit and wait for the cashier, as long as our Confucian Mansion can make money. ”

"If Yan Shenggong is trying to gain power, then I don't think it's necessary at all! Now our Confucian Mansion can be said to be the first family of the dynasty, what kind of power is greater than our Confucian family? ”

Yan Shenggong Kong Yanjin immediately laughed when he heard this, and said, "It is worthy of Mr. Shan!" Good, good! Our Confucian Mansion is already the first family of the dynasty, so what else is there to fight for? Let's just try to make money! ”

Seeing this, Mr. Shan also smiled and said, "Yan Shenggong, then let's settle it like this?" ”

Yan Shenggong Kong Yanjin said categorically: "It's decided!" Promise Liu Juntao! ”

Mr. Shan bowed slightly, clenched his fists and said, "Understood, I'll reply to Yushan Town!" ”

Then, Mr. Shan asked, "Yan Shenggong, there is one more thing, how much silver should we invest in the business of Yushan Town this time?" ”

Yan Shenggong Kong Yanjin said: "I have already written in the letter, 500,000 taels of silver! ”

Mr. Shan nodded and said: "Understand, I will immediately transfer the silver, and when Liu Juntao has a reply, I will immediately ship the silver to Yushan Town!" ”
