Chapter Seventy-Eight: The Fangs of Capital
Zhuo Ji looked at Huo Guang's eyes very critically.
However, it was useless to be picky, seeing Yunyin wiping Huo Guang's sweat with a handkerchief, her heart was full of resentment.
"How many Hun slaves are Sanniang going to want?"
As soon as Huo Guang spoke, Zhuo Ji was even more angry, she was the first woman in Yun Lang's life, but she was called Sanniang by Huo Guang, which was stabbing her in the heart.
"Two thousand!" Zhuo Ji replied angrily.
Huo Guang smiled: "But you want to transport it to Shuzhong?" ”
Zhuo Ji Zhengse said: "Didn't your master not allow a large number of slaves to surround Chang'an?" ”
Huo Guang said with a smile: "As far as I know, the iron ore of the Zhuo clan in Shuzhong has been confiscated by the government, and the Han slaves on the mine have also been naturalized. ”
Zhuo Ji took a breath and said, "Your master has really given you all these powers of the Yun Clan?" Aren't you afraid of being broken by you? ”
Huo Guang smiled: "The master wants me to play well, if the game is broken, we will start all over again!" ”
Zhuo Ji smiled bitterly: "You are really a master and apprentice. ”
Huo Guang arched his hand and said: "When I came, the master said that the Zhuo family must no longer deal in iron tools, especially in the deep mountains, it is a taboo for the imperial court.
And the Huns were vulgar and could not do fine work. ”
Zhuo Ji smiled: "Cinnabar mine! ”
Huo Guang frowned and said: "If you mine cinnabar ore, two thousand slaves may not be enough, if cinnabar forms mercury in the earth's veins, how many people are not enough to fill it."
Moreover, cinnabar ore has always been a specialty of the Dian Kingdom, could it be said that Zhuo's hand has reached into the Dian Kingdom? ”
Zhuo Ji raised his hand and slapped Huo Guang and said: "The suspicion is exactly the same as your master, anyway, as long as you help the Zhuo family get the slaves, you don't care what we do, even if you kill and eat meat, it's none of your business." ”
Huo Guang smiled bitterly: "I'm not afraid that you will take Xiongnu slaves to work, but I am afraid that you will use these slaves to expand the territory."
The Dian Kingdom has been burned and looted by the mysterious people once, what if you want to do it again? ”
Zhuo Ji frowned and said, "Your master even told you such a secret?" ”
Huo Guang said helplessly: "My master is naturally a gentleman, and if he promises not to say it, he will naturally not tell others, but this does not prevent me from guessing."
This time, the most ferocious and daring to bid for slaves was the people of Shuzhong, and they named the slaves who came down from the battlefield.
It's not a secret that you want a group of killers to do anything, and it's not like you're going to be sent to fight. ”
Zhuo Ji's brow was tightly locked, and he gave the order to let the groom drive away from the palace, and it was not appropriate to talk about such secret things here after all.
Zhang Anshi and Shen Tuliang sat in the carriage behind them, chatting without a word.
When he was in the palace, Shen Tuliang showed great pain, and when he left the palace, he became lazy and lazy, and seemed to have forgotten what happened in the palace.
"Your heart is wide."
Shen Tuliang smiled: "Is it useful for me to cry?" If it helps, I don't mind crying for three days and three nights. ”
Zhang Anshi looked left and right and didn't see Shen Tuliang's servant.
I heard Shen Tuliang say: "I have three elder brothers, two are officials in Luoyang, and one is in Jinwu, and they have taken their mothers to the eunuch land, and there are only me, my mother and two servants in the family.
This time I entered the palace, I just wanted to get an errand, my mother and sister have not known the taste of meat for three months. ”
Zhang Anshi said with a smile: "No wonder you refuse to give up, if I want to take care of the family, I will not give up."
However, I heard other young people say that the prince was ready to ask for you, but you rejected it, what does this mean? ”
Shen Tuliang was silent for a long time before he sighed and said, "I told me that the eldest husband can only take the fame directly, not in the bend.
Once you don't get off to the right place, it's hard to keep going.
You've asked me so much, do you have an errand for me? Rest assured, I'm reliable. ”
Zhang Anshi clicked his mouth and said: "The first few words of your words are like a towering gentleman, and the next few words are like a philistine villain, how do you tell me to use you?" ”
Shen Tuliang smiled: "I originally wanted to be a gentleman, but there is a mother and a little sister behind the buttocks, so it doesn't matter if a gentleman is not right." ”
"Hey, you behave like a real gentleman in front of the prince."
Shen Tuliang looked at Zhang Anshi and said, "You are also qualified to be a gentleman?" ”
"Huh? You know me? ”
"My mother is the concubine of the Wuyan clan, when she went back to her mother's house to ask for money for our brothers and sisters, she let the family take advantage of you, not only did she not borrow money, but she was also severely humiliated, what do you say I should do when I hear your name?"
"You don't hate me?"
"I hate all the rich people, but the most hated is the Wuyan clan, who pushed my mother out of the house and broke her head."
Zhang Anshi laughed and said: "As it should be, the eldest husband should have revenge and revenge, and revenge, so that he will not come to the world in vain." ”
"I know that I have a poor disease, and when I get rich, maybe I won't hate rich people, let's say okay first, do you think I can become rich if I help you work?"
Zhang Anshi looked at Shen Tuliang seriously and said: "If you are not very stupid, it is not difficult to become rich, and it is possible to become rich." ”
"Then give me a thousand dollars first......"
Back at the Yun family's apartment in Chang'an, Zhuo Ji was still a little worried, she didn't expect that what should have been a very secret thing has now become known to the world.
The businessmen in Shuzhong want to develop in Chang'an, and since they were sniped by Yunlang, they have contracted with all their might, ready to operate Shuzhong with peace of mind.
Since the great changes in the Dian Kingdom, the first to know the inside story is the merchants of Shuzhong, after all, they have business dealings with the Dian State, and when the Dian Kingdom was looted by a strong force, they immediately came up with the idea of destroying the Dian Kingdom.
The Shuzhong clan has gathered 5,000 families and has arrived at the border of the Dian Kingdom, but they are worried that their combat strength is not enough, so they want to buy 2,000 Xiongnu slaves and help them take the lead.
This operation can be called a large collection of forces in Shuzhong, even the government is also involved, except for the Han army is not allowed to dispatch without orders, all the people in Shuzhong are looking forward to the gratifying scene after the capture of the Dian Kingdom.
The emperor's raid only took away the wealth accumulated by the Dian Kingdom for a hundred years, and the real value of the Dian Kingdom is cinnabar.
The widow Qing of that year became the god of wealth on the rich side because she occupied the cinnabar mine in the Dian Kingdom, and even the first emperor was deeply benefited by it.
This is a long-term source of wealth, but the people of Shuzhong know that they may not be able to hold this source of wealth in their hands for a long time, but as long as there is a year or two, they can recover all the investment.
Yunlang Cao Xiang was drinking and talking at the same time, and Li Dang swallowed his saliva while listening to the two sluts.
The place to drink was naturally not next to Li Guang's mausoleum, which was too rude, so I chose to be on a sunny slope.
"I actually don't object to the merchants doing this, the Dian Kingdom must be eliminated, but Your Majesty doesn't have the energy to do this now.
The sacking of the Dian Kingdom and the occupation of the Dian Kingdom are two different things, you can loot the troops of the Dian Kingdom but not occupy the Dian Kingdom, and your Majesty is also very depressed.
Now it's okay, if the merchants want to do it, then do it, and the empire is finally waiting to harvest a piece of land. ”
Yun Lang is not surprised by such a thing, it is natural for businessmen to value profits, as long as they have twice the profit, it is enough for them to go crazy.
Li Dang took a sip of tea, suppressed his saliva and said, "The group of miscellaneous pieces of the slave hunting group is more vicious than the brothers in the army."
You haven't seen them do anything, I've seen them a few times, everywhere the slave catchers go, the chickens and dogs are not left, a tribe, a tribe even eats the pot, the cattle and sheep, the population, all the same.
If this group of merchants really invaded the Dian Kingdom, I don't think the fate of the Dian Kingdom would be better than that of the Huns. ”
Cao Xiang picked a piece of fat and glutinous small ribs in front of Li Kang and put it in his mouth, chewed it until his mouth was full of oil, and said with a smile after spitting out the bones: "Guo Xie's slave hunting group has also received an invitation from Shuzhong businessmen and is ready to go to Dian Kingdom to do business together.
Guo Xie really wants to go, and now, he wants to find a reliable backer, so as not to be jealous of what he is doing in the Dian Kingdom and anger His Majesty for no reason.
Alang, can you use the name of Gillian nobleman? ”
Yun Lang shook his head and said, "No!" ”
Cao Xiang nodded and said, "What do you think of the queen or the prince?" ”
Yun Lang shook his head and said: "The queen is very suitable, but it's a pity that she has always cherished her feathers and won't wade into this troubled water."
According to the prince's temperament, I am afraid that if he knows the consequences of the devastation, he will not be able to bear it. ”
Cao Xiang said: "If nothing else, he is the future monarch of my Han Kingdom, how can he have such a woman's kindness?" ”
