On an early summer night, the evening breeze is blowing. Liao Daheng felt that the weather was stuffy, and couldn't help but pull his neckline.

The building will fall, and the jade will be burned, everyone understands this truth. But when a real catastrophe comes, how many people can get out of it? Therefore, it is not enough to understand, what is needed is to prepare early and act decisively.

"Raise a private soldier!" Mr. Liu said, "Learn from the world and raise a private soldier by yourself!" ”

Liao Daheng smiled wryly, shook his head and said, "Where can I afford to raise private soldiers!" It's good to have a few family members. Over the years, he has accumulated some private pockets. But the lower official sent me silver, and I will also send silver to Beijing. The silver went in and out, and passed by in front of the flowing water gate. I don't hide it, I'm very shy about my brother's private pocket! If you talk about money, it's better to be a brother than a businessman! Besides, as soon as Liu Zhibo came to Shudi, he sang and made harmony with the prince. The prince reassured him tonight, and he will soon have his eyes on his brother! ”

Mr. Liu talked so much with Liao Daheng in the middle of the night, and finally said his true thoughts.

"Then simply throw it over and rely on the mountain of the son of the world! The younger brother looks at it with a cloudy eye, and the vassal king of the world is sacrificed, and the one who achieves great things will be the son of Shu! ”

"There's only one way to live?" Liao Daheng seemed to be cramped and collapsed in his chair.

"Or we'll be thieves too!" Mr. Liu said viciously.

"That's to destroy the Nine Clans!" Mr. Liu's words were like a red-hot soldering iron, poking Liao Daheng's buttocks, burning him all at once, and the chair crackled and fell to the ground.

"Sir! What's going on there? Hui Lian's crisp voice shouted outside the garden.

was called by the woman, and Liao Daheng suddenly came back to his senses. He said it was okay, straightened his chair, straightened his clothes, and sat down again.

Liao Daheng smiled at Mr. Liu: "I'm out of shape for my brother!" The stakes are high, can you let my brother think about it again? ”

Mr. Liu didn't give Liao a good face. He stood up with a sneer, and said sarcastically: "It's okay for adults to think about it, this is also human nature. It's just that Liu Zhibo may have to take the lead. At that time, the chair of the first important minister of the Shu Wangfu ......"

"Brother Liu, please take a seat!" Liao Daheng immediately got up and hugged Mr. Liu, "Brother Liu, don't blame, I'm a little hesitant to be a brother!" King Ning's lesson is not far away! If the son of the world is defeated, it will affect the nine clans......"

"What a way for Zhu Chenhao and his ilk!" Mr. Liu said: "Today, which minister is Wang Shouren!" Brother, when the interruption continues, it will be chaotic! If the elder brother is difficult to decide, he can sit back and watch the loss of Kaifeng. Kaifeng was lost, and the Central Plains was clear. My heart is open, the north and the south are cut off, and the trend of the world has been decided! ”

"That's great!" Liao Daheng's spirit finally eased from the extreme squeezing state. He pondered a little, and also said what was in his heart: "But for the sake of all things, we should still confess one or two to the prince in advance, and get something that can be taken out to honor and be honored!" ”

His cheap brother-in-law is familiar with both ends, and he is the only one who confesses his heart. But when it comes to gift-giving, Mr. Liu is a little worried.

"The wealth of Shu is nothing more than the palace. Those who can enter the eyes of the world, this is not easy to find! ”

Liao Daheng smiled instead: "Brother Liu has not entered the officialdom, and the rules of this officialdom are not as familiar as those of his brother!" Giving some money and jewels is a matter of going down and down; Sending some interesting and elegant things is the middle and the middle; Those who are above are better than the transfer of interests! ”

"What is benefit transfer?" Mr. Liu was puzzled and asked.

"It's easy to put it bluntly. We are officials for thousands of miles, nothing more than power and money. The palace is nothing more than a field. I will help the prince take down Zhang Jimeng, and the prince can show his strength in Baoning Mansion, which is the transfer of interests. ”

"Hey, that's just what you like!" Mr. Liu smiled, but he quickly shook his head, "Taking Zhang Jimeng is not a transfer of interests, we have a gentleman's agreement first, at most it is an exchange of interests." Besides, the elder brother said that the palace is a field, and the younger brother will never agree with this. To do what they like, we have to figure out the word 'good' first, right? ”

"Oh?" Liao Daheng was surprised: "I want to hear about it." ”

"The son of the world does not love silver, but only loves the field, you and I both know. The little brother wanted to ask, why does the prince like the fields alone? ”

The answer to this question may be the result of tonight's long talk about Liao Daheng. He was silent for a while, and then he replied: "The prince of the world must have taken a fancy to grain by exchanging silver for land. Where there is soil, there is grain, and where there is grain, there are soldiers. There are soldiers in troubled times, and the world is ......"

"Brother will get half of the answer right at most!" Mr. Liu ended the guessing puzzle and announced the answer, "The farmer, the community is also." There is Situ, and there is Simin. The people are the foundation of the army and the foundation of the country. Those who win the hearts of the people win the world! ”

Two Jinshi, the governor of a province, lost to a businessman.

Liao Daheng slapped his head and sighed in a low voice: "I'm ashamed of my brother's shallow knowledge!" ”

Mr. Liu laughed: "My brother is not shallow in knowledge, but a fan of the authorities!" ”

"It's the authorities!" Liao Daheng smiled to himself, "It's just that what do we have to do now to confess our hearts to the prince quietly, and not leave the handle of Liu Zhibo, Chen Shiqi and others to attack?" ”

"My brother can invest the sponsorship money given by the prince this year into the money bank opened by Miss Luo." Mr. Liu reminded, "You can't vote in our name, find a reliable person to vote in his name." ”

Liao Daheng twisted his beard in his hand and spoke heavily: "This is my brother who has already thought of it, anyway, what they sent is nothing more than a silver ticket from Miss Luo's money village, and we won't take it away." It's just that...... I was a little worried about the money that my brother took it, and I was even more worried about whether it would ...... in the future."

I want to be a bitch and I want to set up a torii. Mr. Liu knew what his in-law brother's concerns were, he was afraid that he would take the money and leave a corrupt and despicable impression on the prince; I was afraid that if I invested money, when my job was transferred in the future, the prince swallowed all his money.

"It's okay, anyway, the taxes of the imperial court must be paid, otherwise my brother's future will be over, and I won't even be able to keep my head." Mr. Liu planned: "The sponsorship fee given by the prince is not nominally for the elder brother, but for the imperial court and the province. It is better for the elder brother to quietly deposit the money in the name of the governor's yamen, and then take it out in installments and batches every few days and hand it over to the treasury. In this way, the imperial court will deal with it, and it will not be too conspicuous in the provinces, and a large amount of interest will be left here. If the elder brother makes up his mind, the interest can be used as share capital to invest in the bank. ”

In the blink of an eye, the principal turned into interest, and Liao Daheng felt a pain in his heart. But he knew that if he wanted to be foolproof, his brother-in-law's calculating businessman's vision would not be wrong.

"If there is a balance of principal after the tax is paid...... Mr. Liu added.

Liao Daheng's eyes lit up and asked, "How?" ”

"He Youyi, who is under the prince, has already won the deputy inspection envoy of Yazhou Feixian Pass, and the patrol department of West Silkworm Cliff Pass in Naguan County, if the elder brother can also recommend one person......"

Mr. Liu's intention was to use the remaining funds to open up another smuggling business. In this way, it will not conflict with Yazhou business, but also find another source of dividends for Liao Daheng.

Liao Daheng was amazed by Mr. Liu's proposal: "You don't need to recommend others, just Brother Liu!" Brother Liu is not only with Benfu's family, but also able to talk in the palace. Brother Liu became the patrol director of this Silkworm Cliff Pass, which is equivalent to Benfu and Shizi joining hands to do business, who can fight! ”

Mr. Liu hurriedly excused himself, and Liao Daheng waved his hand and said, he had made up his mind on this matter. Every few days, he will instruct the magistrate of Guan County to impeach the chief and deputy envoy of the Silkworm Yaguan Patrol Division, on charges of extorting merchants and embezzling customs duties. First vacate the position of the Silkworm Cliff Pass Patrol Division, and then report to Mr. Liu for his contribution to plague control and epidemic prevention, or some other messy credit, and get a black yarn to wear.

Mr. Liu thanked him, and Mr. Liao asked him to sit down again. Liao Daheng said: "However, Brother Wei feels that whether it is Zhang Jimeng, Qian Zhuang, or Silkworm Cliff Pass Inspector, there is a bit of an itch in the boots!" Can we find a more direct way to dissect the hearts of the son? ”

Mr. Liu reminded: "Didn't Zhu Pingjin want to buy a batch of firearms through the governor's yamen? Sell him some firearms, tiger cannons, and gunpowder! ”

"It's not enough!" Liao Daheng still shook his head, "It doesn't matter if we sell it or not, the following guards have already sold it." Ning Chuanwei's He Pig's Head, Chengdu Defender's Xu Papi, except for his mother-in-law and mother-in-law, what dare not be sold? The other guards, if they hadn't been lost in Qiongzhou, would not have been sold long ago. ”

So what is the direct way to find it? Both of them were lost in thought.

"There it is!" Liao Tycoon shouted.

"The little brother has it too!"

Mr. Liu smiled and said, "The elders are respected, please speak first." ”

"Yang Tianguan, I'm sorry!" Liao Tycoon's hideous expression startled Mr. Liu.

"Brother is talking about ......"

Liao Daheng explained in a low voice that there was a thousand households in Qiongzhou with the Chengdu avant-garde garrison. Now that Baoning Mansion is tight, the deputy general Zhang Zuokai has lost a lot of troops, and he has asked the province to send him reinforcements several times. Yang Tianguan's industry is very large, both inside and outside Qiongzhou City. If the governor Yamen transferred the troops from Qiongzhou to Baoning Mansion with great fanfare, what would the bandits in that area think?

Liao's proposal came as a surprise to Mr. Liu. He scolded in his heart, being an official is vicious enough! He made a worried look and said, "The younger brother also has a lot of industries in Qiongzhou City, will this be ......?"

Liao Daheng is still familiar with the military: "Brother Liu rest assured, he has at least six or seven hundred soldiers in a thousand households, and only draws four hundred for his brother." In this way, they can only defend the city, but do not dare to go out of the city to suppress the bandits. In order to avoid criticism, you can draw 1,000 troops from Xu Nanwei (stationed in Xuzhou Mansion, now Yibin City) and give that Zhang Xiangkai together! ”

Mr. Liu's store and warehouse are all in Qiongzhou City, which is actually very safe. He pretended to be relieved and said with a smile: "These drawn soldiers can still be sold for money, my brother can't be cheap!" ”

The deputy general Zhang Zuokai was originally from Qijiang County, Sichuan, but he did not bring Shu soldiers, but Chu soldiers, so Mr. Liu had a guest general.

"That's nature!" The two looked at each other and laughed.

The two laughed, and Mr. Liu said mysteriously:

"The younger brother's idea is a little small, unlike the elder brother, as soon as he speaks, it is a military matter."

"It doesn't matter how big or small, as long as it works." Liao Daheng waved his hand and said generously.

Mr. Liu smiled and scanned Liao Tycoon's chest and belly, and saw that Liao Tycoon had goosebumps all over his body.

"Brother, pay attention, the clothes that the prince has been wearing recently...... What are the features? Mr. Liu finally spoke.

Liao Daheng knew that his cheap brother-in-law was a goblin and a goblin, and he would never be untargeted, so he had to seriously recall what Zhu Pingjin was wearing today: wearing a plain wing crown and a seamed linen robe...... The standard dress of decay is fully in line with the regulations.

He shook his head, indicating that he didn't know. Mr. Liu raised his elbows and shook his wide robe.

"Brother, think again?"

Under such an obvious reminder from Mr. Liu, Liao Daheng finally remembered what it was. Yes, the prince wore a linen robe with narrow sleeves! Now everyone likes clothes with wide robes and big sleeves, and there are some exaggerated scholars on the street, and the cuffs are almost dragging to the ground. Shizi's clothes are indeed a little unfashionable.

Mr. Liu smiled, shook his head and said, "The sleeves of the prince's robe, the younger brother thinks it has a big background!" ”

Liao Daheng hates which guy is playing tricks in front of him: "Brother is stupid, Brother Liu will say it if he has something to say!" ”

"When I see him tonight, my brother is really a fan of the authorities!" Mr. Liu sighed heavily: "My brother was born in Jingguan, and he must have been to Taimiao." Please think about it, what does the sleeves of the dragon robe worn by Emperor Taizu Gao look like? ”

Narrow sleeves! Liao Daheng finally reacted: The prince is learning from Emperor Taizu Gao! No wonder he mentioned Emperor Gao in public, and also read Emperor Gao's family poem aloud!

"In the Taizu and Shizu dynasties, the emperors were all Rong Ma and Ma Yan. Wearing narrow sleeves to wield a knife and a gun, it is also called arrow sleeves. Mr. Liu said, "And ......"

Mr. Liu paused deliberately, allowing Liao Daheng to focus his energy on what he was going to say next:

"Qin, Zhou, Chu, and Shu, the four major vassal kings in the world, are all from the Taizu lineage!"
