Chapter 404: Ready to Move (1)
On this day, the young man walked into a hall with excitement, and the person he wanted to meet was Cao Xing, the king of Qin.
Cao Xuan looked at this young man, about twenty-five years old, although he looked quite young, but there was a shrewd look on his body, and he looked like a seasoned businessman.
But it's not enough to just look at the appearance, Liu Xuan asked a few questions casually, and after pondering for a while, this young man also answered the question fluently, Cao Xuan saw this, and couldn't help but praise in his heart, since ancient times, heroes have been teenagers.
The young man in front of him is called Zhen Ping, who is actually Zhen Mi's brother.
Zhen Mi's family is the No. 1 businessman in Hebei, and their family has countless assets.
Cao Xing learned from Zhen Mi that Zhen Mi and their family started from their grandfather. Zhen Mi's grandfather may be a bold character, from a small commoner to the pinnacle of a businessman, this is also a powerful character.
After Zhen Mi's grandfather died, everything in the Zhen family fell to Zhen Mi's father, but although Zhen Mi's father had the ability to inherit the family business, he had a short life. He passed away a few years ago.
The elders of Zhen Mi's family, in order to prevent the family from plummeting, hurriedly asked Zhen Ping to inherit the position of the family, hoping that Zhen Ping could bring their family to a more brilliant place.
But then again, Zhen Ping is really a little young, and it is inevitable that some people will not be at ease, so Zhen Mi's mother finally decided to marry Zhen Mi to Yuan Xi at that time. wants to use this to keep the glory and wealth of the Zhen family.
But now, Yuan Shao's family has been wiped out by Cao Cao and Cao Xing, and it is estimated that their dreams have come to naught. But this time, Cao Xuan really saw something different from this Zhen Ping.
At this moment, Liu Wan was also listening to Zhen Ping's answer on the side, compared to Zhen Ping, Liu Wan is a more sophisticated businessman.
Cao Xing asked Liu Wan these questions before, and Liu Wan also gave his answers, and now Cao Xing compared the answers of the two accordingly, and finally summed up a problem, that is, this Zhen Ping's plan is more radical, and Liu Wan's plan is relatively stable.
Radical has the benefit of being aggressive, and smoothness has the benefit of being smooth. In short, because of the difference in age and experience between the two, there are these different opinions, but having different opinions is a good thing, and they can complement each other.
Although Zhen Ping is very young, Zhen Ping, who is young, has basically understood the pattern of this world.
Although their Zhen family has a lot of money, in this world of heavy agriculture and suppressing business, even if their family is rich, it is impossible to play much of a role, so Zhen Mi has to marry Yuan Xi.
Although there is a family, or the first family of Zhao State as the backing, the Zhen family may rise and prosper step by step because of this, but at the same time, Zhen Ping is also more aware of one thing, that is, this marriage of his sister Zhen Mi is completely a political marriage.
The royal family of Zhao will naturally give the Zhen family great protection, but at the same time, the Zhen family also relies on the royal family of Zhao, if one day the royal family of Zhao suddenly changes dramatically, then the status of the Zhen family is likely to be shaken because of this.
For example, Zhen Ping at that time knew that none of Yuan Shao's three sons was good at stubble, if Yuan Xi could not win the battle for the heir in the end, then their Zhen family would not be completely finished, this feeling of being controlled by others made Zhen Ping more or less unhappy in his heart, he realized a very serious problem, and if he wanted to make the Zhen family completely prosperous, there was only one way, to take his fate into his own hands, so he began to study with his father since he was a child, so he was young, has already taken over the entire Zhen family.
But after taking over, Zhen Ping not only did not slack off, but studied day and night, day and night, and flexibly used his business knowledge, in short, now doing business is stable, basically there will not be any big losses, and with the strength of the Zhen family, Zhen Ping's business is also booming.
So after learning this, Cao Xuan couldn't help but applaud and laugh, Cao Xuan waved his hand, and immediately a civil official handed a letter to Zhen Ping.
When Zhen Ping read the content of this letter, the whole person was completely stunned, and at the same time, a touch of ecstasy rose in his heart, all the above words were written by Cao Xing himself.
Roughly speaking, it means to improve the status of merchants. And Zhen Ping also knows that although most of the people in this world are heavy on agriculture and suppressing business, businessmen cannot get good development, and even if they are rich, they are still inferior.
But here is different in Cao Xing, the business of Qin is quite prosperous, this is a well-known thing in the world, so there are many businessmen who will go to Qin to do business, Zhen Ping also had such an idea a long time ago, but the Zhen family is deeply rooted in the great business of the Yecheng family, how can he just leave, so he did not succeed.
Zhen Ping was ecstatic, and immediately agreed, and under Cao Xing's organization, Zhen Ping and Liu Wan shook hands for the first time, and they were ready to set up a chamber of commerce, in order to gather businessmen from all over the world, and everyone to do business together, presumably it would make this world more prosperous.
In short, Cao Xing gave Zhen Ping a very big discount this time, and Zhen Ping's heart was also ecstatic, just this was enough for him to move his family from Yecheng to Luoyang, after all, Yecheng is still under Cao Cao's control.
For these things, Cao Xuan dealt with them for a whole day, after all, so Zhen Ping was willing to join the Qin State, but because the Zhen family was getting bigger and bigger, there were still many follow-up things to discuss, and the time of the day was finally almost dealt with.
At night, Cao Xuan returned to his room with some fatigue and lay on the bed gently, and at this moment, there was a woman outside Cao Xing's house, who was a little apprehensive and a little excited, this woman was Zhen Mi.
If Zhen Mi's identity is more accurate, it should still belong to the kind of prisoner of war, after all, he is Yuan Xi's wife, but Cao Xing's doing so is basically pardoning Zhen Mi, and more importantly, although the Yuan family has fallen, the Qin State has begun to support the Zhen family again, and I don't know how to repay Zhen Mi for this kindness.
In the end, Zhen Mi also took a deep breath and pushed open the door of Cao Xing's room.
……
In this way, Cao Xing basically solved the problem in the north. The problem of Liaodong, there is Xu Shu stationed there, as for the problem of Karasuma in the north, anyway, in a short period of time, Karasuma will no longer pose a threat to the Qin State, so it is enough.
Cao Xuan returned to the dynasty with a large army, but this time, there was also one more news on the way back to Cao Xing, that is, Cao Xuan had recruited a new princess, and that person was none other than Zhen Mi.
After Cao Xuan returned to Luoyang, he first settled Zhen Ping and his family, and then Cao Xuan hurried back to his home, ready to hug his son and daughter.
Cao Xuan had one hand at a time, while Xiao Man and Cai Yan were standing next to Cao Xing, smiling and full of happiness.
Although from now on, they are destined to have one more woman in their family, but Xiao Man and Cai Yan don't mind. Because in Cao Xing, Cao Xing has already assigned a lot of work, there is no distinction between a wife and a concubine, and some just perform their duties.
Xiao Man stayed by Cao Xing's side for the longest time, so taking care of Cao Xing's daily life is basically Xiao Man. As for Cai Yan, he is proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and the format of the document is also clear at a glance, after all, it is everyone's girlfriend, so some of Cao Xing's private documents are all handed over to Cai Yan to take care of.
As for Zhen Mi's arrangement, Cao Xuan made it clear as soon as he came, Zhen Mi may have also inherited his father and his brother's business acumen, so Cao Xuan's private treasury has been handed over to Zhen Mi to take care of.
In this way, Cao Xuan's harem is quite tight and orderly, there is no chaos, and now Cao Xuan has a son and a daughter, the son's name is Cao Li, as for the daughter's name, because it is Cai Yan's biological daughter, it is naturally taken by Cai Yan, and Cai Yan named her daughter Cai Yuan.
Looking at the fleshy little faces of his children, Cao Xing's heart was also happy. No matter how much he calls for wind and rain on the battlefield, he is still a father at home, ordinary people are great, and great people are ordinary, maybe that's the truth.
But it didn't take long for such a pleasant day to happen, and trouble came.
On this day, Cao Xuan rushed to the hall, and his advisers were almost all there.
Cao Xuan nodded to Che Wu, and Che Wu also stood up in understanding, watching everyone make his report.
There was another turmoil in the west of the Qin State, and the reason for this chaos was actually very simple. Originated from Zhang Ren of Shu State, Zhang Ren is now the governor of Xichuan, and his power can be described as covering the sky with one hand.
Liu Yan, the king of Shu, may have been a hero in troubled times before, but his son Liu Zhang was an indisputable guy, and he almost unreservedly handed over all the military power and political power of Shu to his subordinates, as if he was very relieved to everyone.
Therefore, in this case, Zhang Ren has sufficient capital, and what Zhang Ren wants to do is to take revenge on the Qin State.
After all, Zhang Ren felt that he had a great responsibility for Liu Yan's death, so since he sent troops to garrison Jiameng Pass, he thought about how to take revenge on Qin State day and night.
He began to train troops in Jiameng Pass, and was ready to send troops to Hanzhong at any time.
At that time, Cao Xuan was fighting with Yuan Shao in the east, and he had no time to take care of the situation on the Shu side, so this gave Zhang Ren a good opportunity for development.
Cao Xing gave Zhang Ren a chance to recuperate for two years, and after two years, Zhang Ren felt that the opportunity had come, and at this time he had already taken his soldiers and horses, ready to move in the south, and from time to time to carry out some harassment wars against Hanzhong.
After listening to this report, Cao Xing didn't speak, if it was in normal times, according to Cao Xing's temper, he would definitely not say a word, since this Zhang Ren wants to fight, then let's fight, directly send 100,000 troops, and push it to Shu, I don't believe how long this Zhang Ren can carry it.
But the key is that Zhang Ren did not attack Qin alone, he also contacted Han Sui, who was stationed in the northwest.
In fact, for this Han Sui, Cao Xing really can't understand a little, the historical Han Sui is known as the Yellow River with nine songs, and the scheming is deep, and it is also very contained in the Three Kingdoms.
However, Han Sui in history seems to be only satisfied with separating Liangzhou, and when he became a prince, Cao Xing was puzzled, and there was a Yongzhou between himself and Han Sui, why Han Sui looked at himself unpleasantly, and also shot many times.
This time, Han Sui also fully supported Shu, and even sent some spies to Hanzhong, constantly harassing and inciting, causing several small accidents.
When Cao Xuan heard this, his head was a little bigger, fighting Yuan Shao and Karasuma, although they were all victorious, but killing a thousand enemies and losing eight hundred, Cao Xing paid a lot of price, Qin State needs a period of recuperation to return to the previous state, if Qin State is now fighting on both sides, both Zhang Ren and Han Sui, it is estimated that it will consume national strength.
Therefore, Cao Xing really couldn't do anything about this, he asked Che Wu to spread out the map, and finally aimed his eyes in one direction, that is, Yongzhou.
And Jia Xu immediately stood up when he saw this, and said to Cao Xuan with a smile.
"At this moment, my Qin State should rest and recuperate, prepare for war and wait for the enemy, what we need is time, the minister is willing to be an envoy, go to Yongzhou, persuade King Yong, let him help my Qin State!"
As soon as Cao Xuan heard this, his expression seemed a little surprised, because this Jia Xu took the initiative to ask Ying, it seemed that it was the first time, but Jia Xu's IQ was outstanding in the world, Cao Xuan believed that since it was Jia Xu who came out, then he would definitely succeed, so he did not hesitate, and directly nodded and agreed to Jia Xu's request.
Qin went to the northwest, you can reach the realm of Yongzhou, Jia Xu also soon met King Yong, and after coming back, Jia Xu also told Cao Xingcheng with a smile.
Jia Xu saw Yongwang Ma Teng, in fact, there were still some twists and turns, what did Ma Teng say, anyway, what Jia Xu summed up was that there was a little bit of a good old man's taste.
In the past, Ma Teng was a person loyal to the Han family, but now that the Han family has fallen, he also calls himself the king, no, his mind is not big, he just wants to protect the peace of the people of Yongzhou, that's all.
Cao Xing used to have an old friendship with Ma Teng, but it was a long time ago, Cao Xing has some, I can't touch some of the things before, can it be used as a current emotional card.
As soon as Ma Teng heard Jia Xu's request, he had some hesitation, but when a person jumped out, he also felt a little helpless, that person was none other than his son Ma Chao.
Ma Chao in his youth had a flamboyant personality and arrogant behavior, but by chance, he was also taught a lesson by Cao Xing, and Ma Chao, who was cleaned up, seemed to have become much smarter, he no longer relied on his martial arts to rampage everywhere, but dived into his heart and began to study the world's major events.
