In the once familiar teahouse.

Zhou Zheng and Wei Xizhuang sat opposite each other, and the two hadn't seen each other for a few years.

Wei Xizhuang was tanned, his skin was dry, and his hair was withered, so he sat opposite Zhou and drank water in big gulps.

Zhou Zheng looked at it and said with a smile: "Didn't you just go ashore and need to catch the water?" ”

Wei Xizhuang smashed his mouth and said, "You don't know, several times I have been blown off course by the wind, and there has been no fresh water for more than a month, and a few brothers can't help but drink seawater and die." ”

Zhou Zheng listened to this nonsense, and knew in his heart that Wei Xizhuang was estimated to be enough at sea in the past few years.

Wei Xizhuang drank a pot, couldn't help but call another pot, looked at Zhou Zheng with some blood-red eyes, and said: "I didn't expect that I had only been at sea for a few years, and so many things had happened in the capital, so Li Zicheng had actually entered Beijing." ”

Zhou Zheng shook his head secretly, if he followed history, Li Zicheng entered Beijing, and Jianyu followed.

"Tell me about the sea, where have you been?" Zhou Zheng looked at Wei Xizhuang and said.

Wei Xizhuang didn't seem to have eased up, and said: "I'll ask them to write to you when I go back, I have a headache now, and I want to sleep well, but I just can't sleep." By the way, I brought back a lot of things along the way, and I drew charts for you. There are many desert islands overseas, and I have occupied a few, which will be useful in the future, so let them tell you. What I'm curious about now is, what are you going to do in the future? The little emperor will be in power one day, do you know what happened to Zhang Juzheng? ”

Zhou Zheng saw that his thoughts were flying, and he couldn't calm down for a while, and said, "I know, what about you?" ”

Wei Xizhuang stared at Zhou Zheng's face and said, "I don't think you know at all!" Remember my words, don't be Zhang Juzheng, even if you can't be Wang Mang, you must be Cao Cao! ”

Zhou Zheng smiled and said, "Are you studying at sea, or have someone already looked for you?" ”

Wei Xizhuang has a very close relationship with Zhou Zheng, and he has known Zhou Zheng since he even entered the company, and he doesn't know how many dangers he has experienced along the way.

Wei Xizhuang was indeed a little uncalm, his emotions were flying, and he said: "I know I can't talk about you, but you have to think clearly, once you let go, of course, you will be fulfilled and you will be famous in history, but we will be miserable, you look at the people around you, and then think about your son, brother?" Besides, Wang Anshi still has a mixed reputation to this day, why do you think you can become the Duke of Zhou? ”

Zhou Zheng raised his eyebrows, and was already convinced that someone had approached Wei Xizhuang and persuaded him to enter.

Zhou Zheng naturally has a plan in his heart, but it is not suitable to say it, some things need to come naturally.

Picking up the teacup and taking a sip silently, Zhou Zheng said: "You tell them that I am not yet forty years old, so let them not worry." ”

Wei Xizhuang frowned, and said, "You are the person, is this the problem, or do you want to play this set?" ”

Zhou Zheng didn't bother to pay attention to him, and said, "What about you, what are you going to do?" I'll arrange it for you. ”

Wei Xizhuang waved his hand and said, "What do I need you to arrange?" In a few days, I will go south after you have done a good job, I will go to Suzhou to do business, if something happens to you in the capital, don't bother me. ”

Zhou Zheng smiled bitterly, and also knew that Wei Xizhuang didn't want to cause trouble for him, so he thought about it in his heart and said, "You are in the fleet of Tianjin Wei, you can take it to Suzhou, and you don't need to tell me about it." I'm saying hello to the prefect of Suzhou, so you can do whatever you want. ”

Wei Xizhuang suddenly laughed and said: "This is about the same, when I rest for a while, I will build a hundred ships with 20,000 people, I want to see, and that turtle son dares to rob me!" Wait, I'll equip a few hundred more cannons, and if anyone is unhappy, I'll blow him up! ”

Zhou Zheng still didn't know what Wei Xizhuang had experienced along the way, and said, "I'll send you a team of people, who have been training in Weihaiwei, five hundred people." ”

Wei Xizhuang's eyes lit up, and he said, "It's better if you have training, you don't know how many bad things I've encountered along the way." I've already asked people to sort them out, and I'll give them to you in two days. I've heard, you're planning to do something to Jianyu? Are you sure? Don't make a whole Salhu, when the time comes, not only will the national strength be consumed, but even your prestige will be put into it, and even Cao Cao will not ......be able to bear it at that time."

Zhou Zheng nodded lightly and said, "There is no decision yet, Lu Xiangsheng is making a trial, let's see the situation next year." ”

Wei Xizhuang said: "You have to be careful now, small mistakes can be made, and mistakes must not be made." Don't look at Zhou Yanru's collapse, the forces behind them are still powerful and terrifying, and you can't be my uncle, you still have to be careful step by step. ”

His uncle is Wei Zhongxian.

Zhou Zheng snorted and said, "Come to my house in the evening, let's have a good chat." ”

Wei Xizhuang snorted lightly and said, "How can I have time to talk to you, I still have to go back to my hometown." ”

Zhou Zheng shook his head and said, "Whatever you want, it's not like you can't find my house, you can come whenever you want." ”

Wei Xizhuang waved his hand and said, "I know you're busy, go ahead." ”

Zhou Zheng saw that Wei Xizhuang was still the same, stood up with some tears and laughter, and said, "Okay, I'll go back." ”

Wei Xizhuang didn't bother to get up, crossed Erlang's legs, and was just about to pick his teeth with a toothpick.

He Qishou came out of it, looked at Wei Xizhuang's movements, hesitated a little, and then said: "Dongjia, Zhou Gongzi, no, Dingguo Gong is the same as before, not much has changed." ”

Although Wei Xizhuang was still in that posture, he shook his head and sighed, "In the end, it is a person from two worlds." ”

He Qishou was stunned, he thought that Wei Xizhuang didn't know, but he knew it.

He Qishou sat down opposite him and said, "Boss, what are your plans?" If you open your mouth, Dingguo Gong will definitely not refuse, and if you don't seek high-ranking officials, there will be no shortage of glory and wealth. ”

Wei Xizhuang was still sitting in that position, but his expression was very lonely, his brows were furrowed and wrinkled, and finally he sighed lightly and said, "Don't trouble him, let's go to Suzhou to settle down." Don't have any dealings in the future, and when I'm old, I will brag to my children and grandchildren that I know the former Dingguo Gong. ”

He Qishou was relieved to see Wei Xizhuang so calm, thought about it, and said: "It's not good for us to leave like this, our industry is too deeply involved with the Zhou family, and we can't leave it if we want to, I went to Suzhou, and most of the chambers of commerce over there are also related to the Zhou ticket number......

Wei Xizhuang waved his hand and said, "Don't be so troublesome, redeem all our molecules to them, and go to Suzhou to buy them again." You also heard what Lao Zhou said just now, not to mention the exchange, I can take a few million directly. ”

He Qishou looked at him and said, "Dingguo Gong is also in urgent need of money and food now, will it be difficult for Dingguo Gong to take so much at once?" ”

Wei Xizhuang glanced at him obliquely and said, "Can I not know?" Do you think the fleet I brought back is empty? Wait, my dozen ships aren't empty. ”

He Qishou really didn't know, and couldn't help but say happily: "That's good, I'll go to Tianjin Wei tonight, and strive to leave Beijing as soon as possible, to be honest, I feel more and more unsafe in this capital." ”

Wei Xizhuang sighed and said, "It's still unrestrained and comfortable at sea, no matter what, give things to Lao Zhou as soon as possible and leave, so as to save worry." ”

He Qishou responded silently.
