Chapter 553: The Year in a Hurry

Yuan Xi saw that she was almost jumping up with excitement, and suddenly felt funny, and said lightly: "If you have something to say, what kind of sycophancy, this is not your style." ”

Huang Yueying really giggled, "How can there be, I wonder, Brother Yuan, you have such a good opportunity, why did you give up your father's position to your eldest brother?" I think you are the master of the Yuan family. ”

Yuan Xi pointed to the chair opposite and motioned for her to sit down, and after she sat down, she explained: "This has nothing to do with business, but a strategic issue. Do you understand? ”

Huang Yueying is a woman in the end, she frowned and thought for a long time, nodded and said with a dry smile: "I can barely understand, that is, I try to make as little money as possible, and I don't let myself lose money, right?" ”

Yuan Xi laughed again, and it took a while to hold back, "Yes, that's what it means, Yueying, I found that you are really good material for business, tsk, or my vision is good." You were going to be an official, and in the end I left you to do business. ”

Huang Yueying glanced at him, and said with a smile: "Less smelly and beautiful, is it obvious that I applied well?" Do your best to put gold on your face. ”

"Okay, you have the ability," Yuan Xi and Huang Yueying felt very lively when they spoke, and they forgot about the tomb robbery for a while, but remembered Pang Tong and Zhuge Liang in Jingzhou.

"It's been several years, and Pang Tong hasn't come here yet, I'm afraid he doesn't want to vote for me again." Yuan Xi sighed lightly.

The time that was agreed at the beginning, but unfortunately the time passed year after year, and Pang Tong's figure could not be seen. I don't know what he's doing now.

Huang Yueying refilled him with another cup of tea, "Brother Yuan, don't worry, the second senior brother is a person who is the same in his words." I didn't come, I must have encountered some difficulties, and after a few days, maybe I will come. ”

Yuan Xi can only hope so, "Kong Ming is also a talented person, but unfortunately he can't be used by me, and I don't know where he went at this time." ”

Huang Yueying smiled and said, "I wrote to him a few days ago." He, recently in Longzhong, he often boasts of Guan Zhong and Le Yi, and now the world is in chaos, I guess he is thinking about who to go to, or Jiang Taigong fishing. ”

Yuan Xi's eyes lit up, "You still communicate with him?" ”

Huang Yueying was a little nervous and said, "Just to find out, I have a good relationship with the third senior brother." Just find out. ”

Yuan Xi ignored these and asked directly, "Then why don't you let him come over and vote for me?" I can give him a heavy responsibility. ”

Huang Yueying was stunned and said, "I said it, but the letter has only been out for a long time." I don't think it's very likely, because he rejected you in the first place. ”

Yuan Xi felt a deep pity: "It was different from now, if you go now, maybe you can have a chance, but where can you run so far now." ”

Huang Yueying thought so, Kong Ming was more conceited, at that time, the Yuan family wanted to unify the world, how could he come? But now it's different, after two wars, the Yuan family is no longer the Yuan family before.

Huang Yueying is not optimistic about the Yuan family now, but this is not Kong Ming's opinion, she has some understanding of Kong Ming, and thinks that Kong Ming should have the ambition to challenge the current Youzhou.

But as Yuan Xi said, now that he is the lord of Youzhou, where can he go out so recklessly, if he is caught, Youzhou will be over.

After being silent for a while, Huang Yueying secretly glanced at Yuan Xi, and seeing that his face was full of contemplation, she couldn't help asking, "Brother Yuan, did you come to me for anything this time?" ”

"Oh," Yuan Xi patted his head, "I'm here to invite you to rob the tomb, are you interested?" ”

Huang Yueying was taken aback, "Brother Yuan, are you joking?" What do you do when you go to rob the tomb? ”

Yuan Xi leaned his head over and stared at her pale cheeks, "Don't underestimate the tomb robbery, it's a lucrative business, think about it, if you can steal the tomb of Qin Shi Huang, will we just send it?" It is estimated that the wealth can directly support our Youzhou to death. ”

Huang Yueying looked embarrassed and said, "Tomb robbery, this is tomb robbery!" Besides, where is it easy to find the Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang, how unlucky. ”

Yuan Xi shook his head, "You are wrong, you are not unlucky at all, this matter is a relatively important government income, do you know why I suddenly want to rob the tomb?" ”

"Why?" Huang Yueying's eyes flashed with confusion, she didn't feel good about the tomb robbery anyway.

"Hehe, because Cao Apu has formed an army and started to rob tombs, he has been fighting for years, spending a lot of money, military salaries and food, where is there so much. But if you rob a tomb, as long as you dig a good tomb, the gold and silver treasures will be enough for him to support him for a while. So, we can't be left behind. ”

Huang Yueying said with a strange face: "Where did I hear about this, why don't I know?" ”

Yuan Xi rolled his eyes and said, "If you know everything, you are an immortal." ”

Huang Yueying smirked and stuck out her tongue.

"Although our Youzhou is a little richer, there is a lot of money and food, but it is accumulated in peacetime, you think about it in the future, we will fight with Cao Cao, a war of several years, more than ten years, do you think our Youzhou can still be so rich?"

"I can't." Huang Yueying replied honestly.

To put it bluntly, fighting a war is actually a waste of financial resources, especially when the two sides are equal in arms and horses.

Youzhou's soldiers and horses obviously can't be equal to Cao Cao, so they have to be a little richer.

Thinking about this, Huang Yueying didn't feel unacceptable.

"So what are you looking for me to do? I'm a woman's family, you won't let me go to the grave, will you? ”

Yuan Xi said with a dry smile: "It does mean this, you have a smart head, tomb robbing and business are both technical jobs, you must be able to do a good job." ”

"No," Huang Yueying was not fooled, "I'm afraid." If any goblins come out, I'm done. ”

The corners of Yuan Xi's mouth twitched, this era is still superstitious, it seems that it is not a very good way to find Huang Yueying to be responsible.

"Then you help me think about it, is there any good candidate, this is a big event for the benefit of the country and the people, compared with Cao Cao, you can't lose at the starting line, right?"

Huang Yueying saw what he said playfully, and couldn't help but cover her mouth and smile: "You just go to find those who are not afraid of death, there are definitely not a few such people in the army." ”

"It's certain that he is not afraid of death, but most of them who are not afraid of death can't be leaders, and leaders are afraid of death, so he must have skills to live. For example, looking for the tomb, looking at feng shui, how to enter the tomb, how to avoid the mechanism inside, all these have to be done by him, and then send those who are not afraid of death to go down. ”
