Chapter 186: Director of the CIA

"The imperial court is only responsible for supervising the trading houses, and does not interfere with the trade of the trading houses?" Zhang Zhangshi asked, he wanted to confirm that if it was really like what Guo Jia said, he might not be able to do it.

Guo Jia nodded: "Naturally, but if the firm resells the materials that are not conducive to the country to the enemy, the court will have to intervene, of course, once the firm is formed, the refined salt will also be put into sale, after all, the court does not have the energy to manage, and in the future, if the court has anything to make money, it will also give priority to the firm, after all, we also hope that the firm will become bigger and stronger, so that you make money, that is, the court also makes money, and the risks and benefits are equal." ”

After explaining, Guo Jia looked at the rest of the people calmly, and Su Shuang immediately expressed his willingness to join the firm, and Zhang Shiping was the same.

They are doing business in Youzhou, but they are often stuck by the Zhen family in Jizhou, and they have not tasted the uncomfortable eyes of small and medium-sized businessmen.

I didn't see the five great families today, and they covered the states at once, how tough and domineering the tone was, it was suffocating.

Then a few more joined, and a few withdrew, some felt that they could do it, and there was a lot of power, and some felt that there was a conspiracy and did not want to be annexed.

This Guo Jia didn't say much, the existence of the firm itself was not only to make money, but also to lay intelligence channels.

The hand of the merchant house was stretched into the four states, and then slowly sat down, reaching out to the other five states, so that the world was in the palm of his hand.

Yigan and everyone left, Liu Xie walked out from behind the screen, and praised: "It's all done, Feng Xiao did a good job, and you will be the director of the CIA in the future." ”

CIA director?

What is this?

Guo Jia was puzzled by Liu Xie's ability to always come up with a bunch of strange words.

"Haha." Seeing Guo Jia's expression, Liu Xie didn't plan to explain, he just liked to see Guo Jia embarrassed.

"But then again, this Su Shuang and Zhang Shiping started by selling horses, so they can resell more good horses, and at the same time, they must have a lot of friendship with those people in the grassland, so make good use of it." The reason why Liu Xie attaches importance to Su Shuang and Zhang Shiping is because the two still have a bit of that relationship with the grassland.

Guo Jia replied: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, the minister will do a good job in this regard." ”

Liu Xie believed that Guo Jia had this ability, but still muttered: "I don't know which of them has anything to do with the alien races in the Hetao area, we can't be ignorant of there, especially the Southern Xiongnu, they will inevitably invade the south in winter, and I also want to clean them up after the autumn harvest, and it is always a little unsettling to be unfamiliar with it." ”

Guo Jia thought for a while and said: "This is going to ask Jia Wenhe, of course, the minister thinks that the Pei family and the Wei family must know a lot of news about Hetao, the two of them have lived in Hedong for so long, and they also have their own vassal merchants, who must have had a relationship with Hetao, although it may not be the Southern Xiongnu, but other ethnic groups must have it." ”

Guo Jia's tone was very determined, and Liu Xie couldn't help frowning.

Guo Jia's judgment has always been accurate, and it will not be untargeted.

Then the Wei family and the Pei family have nothing to hide, they have their own secret plans, which makes Liu Xie a little angry.

It's best not to let him know that they have a connection with a foreign race, or else don't blame him for being ruthless.

Perhaps seeing the anger in Liu Xie's chest, with a hint of displeasure on his face, Guo Jia said: "Things haven't come to that point yet, I don't think Your Majesty needs to be anxious, maybe they didn't make any excessive moves, or send someone to find out about the Hetao and other places." ”

"Feng Xiao is right, take advantage of the opportunity of the merchant to send people to sell some refined salt and spirits to the Hetao, of course, the quantity must be strictly controlled, and by the way, investigate the situation there." Only then did Liu Xie remember that there were not only Southern Xiongnu in Hetao, but also many other races, and he wanted to believe that refined salt and liquor were enough to pry open the mouth of a race.

After explaining this matter, Liu Xie went to find Jia Xu again, and the old god Jia Xu was there, and said unhurriedly: "Your Majesty, the minister mentioned to you before that in the entire Hetao region, there are not only the Xiongnu, but also Xiaoyue's, Qinhu, Laoqiang, Tuge, Nanding Ling, Xianlingqiang and other departments. ”

Liu Xie nodded, and said with some impressions: "I still have impressions of these, so what is their relationship with the Southern Xiongnu." ”

Jia Xu said: "Your Majesty should know the Xiongnu tribe, they are the slave tribe of the Southern Xiongnu, in the Hetao area, the Southern Xiongnu has become the first ruler, except for Qin Hu, the other ethnic groups basically have to rely on the Southern Xiongnu to survive."

Although they are not slaves like the Qian, they can also be said to be vassals, succumbing to the Xiongnu, from time to time they will pay tribute to money and goods, and they will also be plundered by the Xiongnu, and they hate and helpless the Southern Xiongnu, so sometimes those who do not know about the Central Plains will naturalize all the alien races in the Hetao area into the Xiongnu, but this is not the case. ”

Now Liu Xie was taught, this Hetao is like the prairie, mainly Xianbei, but the whole grassland is not all Xianbei people, there are countless small races, in the eyes of the Han people, they are often classified as Xianbei, in fact, these races are just vassals of Xianbei, commonly known as Zahu.

Zahu once rose, defeated the grassland overlord, and then replaced the original overlord and became a mature Hu, just like Xianbei replaced the Xiongnu, the later Turks replaced Xianbei, the Jurchens replaced the Khitan, and the Mongols replaced the Jurchens, all of which rose and grew from Zahu.

"So what Aiqing means is that it's not difficult to pry them open."

Jia Xu said: "Of course, as long as we can defeat the Southern Huns, fight their forces, and make up our minds to exterminate them, the various ethnic groups of the Communist Party will naturally lean towards our Han when they hear the news, and the wolves will also eat them to strengthen the body." ”

Isn't this just a blow to the landlords and a turn over of the serfs?

It's just that these serfs look a little ferocious, and they are not easy to get along with.

However, Liu Xie was not very interested in Xiaoyue, Lao Qiang, Tu Ge, Nanding Ling, and Xian Lingqiang, and when he attacked the Huns, he would also have to clean them up, but he was interested in Qin Hu, who was the only one who did not vassal the Southern Xiongnu.

Jia Xu smiled and said: "Your Majesty, there are two ways to say this Qin Hu, one refers to the grassland miscellaneous Hu before the Qin Dynasty after the Qin Dynasty was destroyed, and my Han Dynasty moved into the Hetao after the establishment of the Ding; Another theory is that they are the old Qin people in Guanzhong, and the Qin soldiers who guarded the Wuyuan Hetao back then, because they were unwilling to serve our Han Dynasty, they wandered and grazing in the Hetao, and never treated the Xiongnu with their colors, and they were mortal enemies. ”

After listening to these two statements, Liu Xie was silent, he had his own judgment, in fact, he was more inclined to the latter in his heart, and he hoped that it was the latter.

Although there are joys, there are also advantages.

If Qin Hu is really a descendant of the Qin soldiers who guarded the frontier, he probably doesn't have much of a good impression of the Han Dynasty.

The Han Dynasty destroyed Qin, and later moved the Southern Xiongnu in, which was a great threat to their survival, and I am afraid that they would have hated it for a long time.
