Chang'an, the old house of the Zhang family in Puning Fang is still inhabited, and the warrior of Ying Guogong looked at his two sons with some embarrassment, as well as Wu Yuanzhong, the nephew of the second brother's family. The nephew came to be a lobbyist, for the sake of the future, which somewhat disappointed the samurai.

Compared with the two pieces of "barbecued pork", his two daughters are more intelligent. Wu Shi Tong had already thought about sending Wu Yuanqing's son to Wuhan to study and handed him over to his daughter to discipline.

The story of Wu's "two heroes" selling their sisters on the street can be called the biggest shame of Wu Shitong.

It's just that it's in vain.

And then there is the biggest problem, Wu Yuanqing, a bastard, has been fighting in the Western Army and the Northern Army successively, and now he doesn't want to start a family more and more, and he can't even look down on the title of Wu Shitong.

The reason why this is so is really because instead of inheriting the title of Samurai Tong, it is better to honestly befriend Zhang De, the Jiang and Han observers, and have sisters to serve the God of Wealth, it is not difficult to find an errand envoy, and it can be said that he will be rich and prosperous for a long time.

If you go through the noble system, you can only dream at the moment, unless your sister enters the palace to serve the emperor, there may still be some hope.

"My lord, this Ran is very sincere, and it doesn't matter what the adults say, just give a way, so that I can go to Wuhan to give some Bashu specialties, so that Shun Niang and Mei Niang can also try it......"

Wu Yuanqing smiled, he was able to take his younger brother to "sell his sister on the street" in his early years, so he was naturally a person who didn't want to be cheeky. The Wu family is also carelessly noble, but it is the mother of the two brothers, Xiangli, who can also climb the famous family of the Zhou Dynasty.

"Uncle Ji, don't worry, the Ran family is just seeking a way this time, in addition to Uncle Ji, Jiangdong Su Chang also sent someone to go. Yangzhou Jiangdu and Yangzi County also sent lobbyists. ”

Nephew Wu Yuanzhong bowed slightly, and then said sincerely, "The Wu family was originally a family of merchants, and when the Wu Dynasty was in the Wude Dynasty, it was also excluded and laughed at. For example, today's princes all have similar merchants and traders, and the Wu clan has a cover, just chasing the wind and clouds. ”

This is actually very thorough, mainly related to the political speculation of the Wu brothers back then. Although Wu Yuanzhong's Laozi died in the Zhenguan Dynasty, it was definitely the end that Li Dong liked to see, and the praise or something was always verbal, and he would not give any benefits.

The reason is very simple, Wu Yuanzhong's Laozi Wu Shiyi was Li Yuanji's "strategist" back then, and of course he was loyal to Emperor Wude Li Yuan on the surface, but Wu's political speculation was too rough, far inferior to the wealthy family, with white gloves and black gloves, and the ghost knows how much to eat.

This is also why Wu Yuanzhong said that "it is shameful to exclude people", because the famous families of the Wude Dynasty, especially those who came out of Hedong Shanxi, laughed at not the "family of merchants" in Wushi Tong, but that the work was not good enough.

Wealthy families are doing well, such as the Wen family, who specializes in cultivating Wen Yanbo, behind which is the entire Taiyuan government and business group is promoting, and the Wu family is in the circle of the old brother in Hedong, which is a leftover.

If it weren't for the fact that the relationship between Wu Shi Tong and Li Yuan was really in place, the Wu clan would not even be qualified to be on the table. No matter how the Wu family boasted about how their family had been since the Northern Wei Dynasty, because the wealthy families in Hedong bragged, at least they were from the former Han Dynasty. Northern wei dynasty? That's also a howe?

Therefore, the outside world will definitely not really admit that he is the "family of businessmen", and he must say how our ancestors were, the history of the assassination of the county order, and the ancestors of Lao Tzu were noble.

But behind closed doors, the Wu family is still quite practical, and the four Wu brothers are indeed entangled with Shang Jia. Emperor Wude is willing to be promoted and rewarded, isn't it because you still have some financial ability?

So the words changed, and the warrior Tong said in a consultative tone: "I heard that the Ran clan can face the two saints of Luoyang, if we are involved, I am afraid that the saint will be angry." ”

Whether Ran Rencai can really see the "Two Sages", Wu Shitong doesn't know, but he can be sure that Ran Rencai's biggest backer is indeed the queen. Among the people who didn't dare to offend the bastard in Qian Valley, the queen was counted as one, which is why the Ran family was able to have a little bit of a place in Luoyang that was different from the Bashu turtle.

There are still some things that are difficult for Wu Shi Tong to explore by himself, but the old brother Li Yuan can still reveal them once or twice. In addition, there are many news channels in the Wuzhuang Guan Veteran Cadre Activity Center, and Qin Qiong is not unwilling to help herself, an "old-timer", because of Zhang De.

Wu Shi Tong still knows more or less that the Ran clan was "defeated and lost" in the southwest before, which can be said to be a loss of money, and he can't make a statement.

Qin Qiong even mocked the Ran clan for not measuring his own strength, and also wanted to incite Fangzhai to make trouble, but as a result, several Fangzhai mountains were robbed by Wulingman not long ago.

Not only did Wuling make a move, but the handsome white horse department of Fandi did not hesitate to let go of cold arrows. Plus the East Woman Country and Yelang Cave Village...... This move was put ten years ago, and the absolutely sharp barbarian fire was actually pressed down.

Not to mention Qianzhong, Jiannan Shudi has not spread the slightest rumor, even if there are rumors, few people in Yizhou Chengdu believe it.

Li Ke, the king of Wu, has also been the governor of Yizhou, so he can't really do it for nothing, if he doesn't even have a little bit of the "old department", he, the prince, will be dead.

"My lord, this is all a rumor among the neighbors......

"Don't stay there!"

Wu Yuanzhong suddenly interrupted Wu Yuanqing's words, and looked at Wu Shi Tong with some seriousness, "Uncle Ji has heard some news?" ”

Wu Shi Tong nodded, and then whispered: "The matter is very big, before Jiannan, Qianzhong, Shannan, Zhufangzhai was in turmoil, and the result was that the heroes and commanders of Fandi, the barbarian territory, and the cave lord were killed, not the barbarians were messing around." ”

Talking about things like this, Wu Yuanqing and Wu Yuanshuang brothers have extremely rich expressions, once this kind of thing is mixed in, they will not be able to escape from it in the future.

The attacks and killings of various tribes in the barbarian territory are understandable if they are feuding tribes, such as the Jiannan Fan people and the Fang people, this kind of sudden vendetta for no reason. Samurai Tong has dealt with this kind of thing, so he knows it. But the sudden turmoil after the beginning of spring before was by no means as simple as a vendetta.

Samurai boldly speculated that it might be a temptation by the queen, but was pulled back by the other party.

And who is on the other side? Even if he knew, he didn't dare to say or think about it.

The party that can play political struggle with the queen can be a weak chicken, and behind the political struggle, in the final analysis, there is still an uneven distribution of interests, simple and rude, just one word: money.

What's more, this time, it's really money. There are many concrete manifestations of political struggle, and one of them is war.

It just so happens that both sides of this "war" are barbarian tribes.

Wu Shi Tong can imagine that the Ran clan's "big defeat and loss" is definitely not as simple as money, and it may be the business of decades, hundreds or even generations of operations in the southwest land, which will be ruined in one fell swoop.

Jing Chu developed Yunmengze, and it took more than ten generations or even dozens of generations, and the southwest was even more difficult, and the Ran family was able to become an example of the fangs, and the arduous investment in it can be imagined.

"As Uncle Ji said, this is a big opportunity!"

Wu Yuanzhong's eyes lit up, "If the little nephew's guess is right, the Ran family should go to Wuhan to seek peace, but Jiang Han observes the embassy, and he may not pay attention to it, and it is probably sent by the official at will." Now that Ran's 'sick and rushed to the doctor', if we give the way, I dare not say that we will ask for Ran's, and it is still okay to 'ask for a sky-high price'. ”

"Yes...... Yuan Zhong, isn't it to offend someone if you're so afraid? ”

"Uncle Ji's authorities are fascinated, Shun Niang Mei Niang is both a concubine and a pillar of the Wu family's court, how can it be today? It is harmless to match the Ran family, and we can only become more friendly by 'giving it a handle'. ”

Listening to what his nephew said, Wu Shi Tong also fell into thinking, the truth is right, the Wu family can still be preserved, and he was not directly killed by Emperor Zhenguan, which was caused by various reasons.

According to common sense, he should die in Lizhou, instead of returning to Chang'an, even if he returns, it will be difficult to die of exhaustion. But now he is alive and well, and now there is a special "family doctor" who has regular physical examinations and exercises every day, which can be regarded as a good complexion.

Of course, there is the emperor's domineering "invincible" and "empty-eyed" domineering, ignoring the "ants" like the Wu family, but the root is still because the Wu family climbed Zhang De.

In the eyes of Emperor Zhenguan, not to mention the Wu family, even the emperor is an "ant".

"According to what Yuanzhong saw, if you entrust Shun Niang and Mei Niang, you won't offend Zhang De?"

"No, it won't."

Wu Yuanzhong is very sure, "The princes of the world, all the heroes, are mostly used for energy, not for people." ”

Wu Shitong, who nodded slightly, recognized it very much, when he was in Lizhou, he also made dogs and knives for Emperor Li, and he couldn't help but "fight local tyrants and divide the fields", and there were countless heroes and strongmen in the entire Lizhou who wanted him to die. The black cauldron was carried by him, and the fat fruit was returned to the emperor.

Since Ran's request to Wuhan means that Wuhan has reached out to the southwest. The southwest is not very vast, but since it can be tempted by Wuhan, it is obviously profitable.

And the Ran family happens to be a "local snake" that has been deeply cultivated in the southwest for several generations and has been in the rivers and lakes for more than 100 years, although this snake has been beaten to a cripple, it can be seen that the knowledge is still there, and there is no reason for Wuhan not to use it.

After figuring out the joint, Wu Shitong even felt that Zhang De and Zhang De's accomplices might have planned to cripple the Ran clan first, and then let the Ran clan work.

After all, it was Emperor Li who did the same thing, first of all, you were half-paralyzed, you had no strength to resist, and you didn't do things honestly and obediently? Do whatever you want.

However, the risk is also very large, in case Yide gets angry and dumps Wu Shunniang and Wu Meiniang, the Wu family can basically declare bankruptcy. The time for the extinction of the dead clan can be counted down.

"Uncle Ji, if it is the right time, maybe Shun Niang and Mei Niang will be liked by Zhang Caozhi, but I don't know. The daughter of Cui Hongdao in Xuzhou, under the pseudonym 'Bitter Chat Sheng', is the chief writer of Wuhan Evening News, and is Zhang Caozhi's favorite because of her talent. If the talent of the two daughters of the Wu family is revealed, they dare not say that they are hired as wives, which is better than the Cui family, it is not a problem. ”

Wu Yuanzhong saw that the fourth uncle was moved, and immediately added a fire, he was different from Wu Yuanqing Wu Yuanshuang, because Lao Tzu died early, but his emotional intelligence was higher.

Originally, he was a waster, but now that he has a good opportunity, how can he give up easily.

is also "selling girls for glory", Wu Yuanqing Wu Yuanshuang's method of selling on the street is too low-level, but it is just the scale of a peddler's pawn.

But he is different, how can the footman appear to be his own means? "Selling sisters for glory" wants to sell grades, the more expensive your sisters are, the higher the price!

Sure enough, Wu Shi Tong was stunned for a moment when he heard Wu Yuanzhong's words, then nodded continuously, and finally said directly: "Just meet this Ran clan." ”

"Your Excellency is wise!"

"Uncle Ji will definitely be pleased with this decision!"

The Wu brothers immediately smiled and hurriedly said flattering words.
