Chapter 31 The Zhao Family's Great Shopkeeper
"If Zhao Fu wants to fight Mustard City, he will kill himself." Soon, this point of view took root and spread in Zhao Yu and Zhao Yang's hearts.
Although they did not have the confidence to defend the city in front of Zhao Fu and the Iron Arm Army, they only needed to hold Zhao Fu's pace in the front, and wait for the reinforcements from the imperial capital to arrive before blowing the horn of counterattack.
I don't know why, Zhao Yang has always been in a state of unconditional trust in the military strength of the imperial capital, in his opinion, the imperial guard in the hands of Lin Sixing is naturally the king division, and the king division is considered to be a subjugation from all directions.
Hmph, when Zhao Fu is solved, you can use the power of the imperial capital to deal with Zhao Yu by the way. Zhao Yang had such an idea in his heart, but there was no trace of it on his face, as if he was thinking very seriously about how to deal with the enemy.
"That's it for this alliance meeting." After a while, Zhao Yang waved his hand and announced the end of the meeting.
The alliance between the two was originally to fight against Zhao Qian, who had Zhao Fu behind him, and at this moment, after learning that Zhao Fu had already spent at least five or six days on Mustard City as they had planned, the meaning of the existence of the meeting was gone.
"How's it going over there, General Long?" After the meeting, Zhao Yang asked his henchmen.
"It's still the same as before, he didn't make a clear statement, but he promised to stand up and speak for the young master when necessary." The subordinate replied.
"Hmph, when is this wall grass still playing the idea of left and right!" Zhao Yang said angrily, Long Shouyi, the grass on the wall, has been blown around by him and Zhao Yu on the wall, and it is still standing to this day.
Of course, Zhao Yang knew when Long Shouyi said "when it was necessary", which was nothing more than when he defeated Zhao Yu and Zhao Qian and successfully succeeded the head of the Zhao family and took control of the military and political power of Zhao State.
But at that time, who still needs Long Shouyi to stand up and speak, Long Shouyi, Long Shouyi, do you really think you can go on like this forever? When I succeed to the throne, your 20,000 Zhongzhou Iron Horse chips will not be enough.
Zhao Yang snorted coldly: "It's not more than three things, give him two more days, if he still hasn't made up his mind, hehe, let's let us, no, you help him make up his mind." ”
"We? I? The men were puzzled.
saw that Zhao Yang pretended to be cool with his hands, and made a movement to wipe his neck to remind himself of this henchman.
"Remember, it's you, not us." Zhao Yang emphasized.
"Little one got it!" That subordinate is not a good man and a woman, let me ask the Zhao family, but anyone with some brains knows that Zhao Qian is the best candidate for the next head of the family, even if Zhao Qian's intelligence can't accumulate much wealth for the Zhao family, but at least it will not let the Zhao family fall into the hands of their generation.
And Zhao Yu and Zhao Yang, one has an IQ that is not below the baseline, and a brain full of intrigues and tricks, if the Zhao family falls into the hands of these two people, it will either be slowly elevated or lost in the continuous internal friction.
Compared with Zhao Qian, he is still a master of success, and this is exactly the case, so most of the people gathered under Zhao Yu and Zhao Yang are a group of opportunistic people, who want to take advantage of this Zhao family's succession incident to make a lot of money.
"Okay, you'll be the next big shopkeeper!" Zhao Yang was very satisfied with this kind of subordinate who knew the current affairs, and immediately made a promise.
"Thank you, young master!" The subordinates' hearts were about to jump out, they didn't expect that they would be able to get the position of a big shopkeeper so quickly, and they couldn't help but be happy that they had followed the right person.
The weight of the big shopkeeper in the Zhao family is extremely important, and every big shopkeeper either masters one of the main business routes of the Zhao family, or monopolizes the trading of a commodity for the Zhao family. These are all positions that are too fat to be fattened, and the amount of money handled every day will be calculated from 100,000. What's more, the big shopkeeper has a very high status in the Zhao family, not only has huge financial resources, but also has a voice in the Zhao family.
It's like what happened in front of him, Zhao Qian, Zhao Yu, and Zhao Yang are all heirs in line, and Zhao Qian is not in Zhongzhou City, so he should be replaced by Zhao Yu, the second heir, even if he can't become the head of the family at the first time, it is not a problem to be a temporary head of the family. But even if the twenty-five big treasurers who supported Zhao Qian jointly spoke, thinking that this matter was inappropriate, Zhao Qian should be taken back to Zhongzhou from Lanting to succeed to the throne as soon as possible, and this is the current situation.
Although the big shopkeeper can't really decide the affairs of the Zhao family like the Zhao family, their power in the Zhao family is allowed to participate in interfering in some big and small affairs of the Zhao family. This is also an insurance designed by the sages of the Zhao family for the family in order to protect their own family, at least this can avoid the sudden decline of the Zhao family to the greatest extent - with these big treasurers who are related to the prosperity and life and death of the Zhao family to supervise on the side, even if the descendants are not filial, they can use this to keep the foundation of the Zhao family.
Since ancient times, the big treasurers of the Zhao family have all been loyal to the Zhao family, and have made great contributions, and they have been recognized by the Zhao family. The thought of having such an opportunity made his brain spin.
For him, it doesn't matter what Long Shouyi's attitude is now, the important thing is that in two days, not even two days, Long Shouyi must die.
No, it should be that the "right" choice must be made.
So thought to the men.
Zhao Yang watched this henchman leave with great energy, and felt that Long Shouyi's matter should not be a problem, thinking that soon there would be 20,000 more elite soldiers in his camp, Zhao Yang couldn't help but be happy, and laughed out loud in the uninhabited room.
"Zhao Yu, Zhao Qian, my two good brothers, this time it's my brother I won hahahahahaha......"
The unmanned room was filled with Zhao Yang's wild laughter, and he didn't feel empty for a while.
On the other side, Zhao Yu was also listening to the report of his subordinates.
"General Wang demanded that sixteen cities, 100,000 inhabitants, 200,000 gold, and 50,000 women of appropriate age must be ceded...... Zhao Yu's subordinates took the secret letter and told Zhao Yu about the conditions listed on it one by one.
"That's all?" Zhao Yu asked after listening.
The subordinate almost didn't doubt his ears, if the various conditions on it were seen by Zhao Xiyuan, I am afraid that none of them would pass, and it was more likely that he would directly send troops to crush that General Wang, so that he would know that although the Zhao family had a lot of money, it was not so easy to get. And at this moment, the parent and child of Zhao Xiyuan in front of him actually asked, "That's all"?
"That's it...... That's all...... the subordinate took a deep breath, "Young master, my subordinate has already prepared a letter for you to negotiate, is it ......?"
