Chapter 51: Shaken
"Big deal?" Zhang Song looked at Fa Zheng, his eyes were a little complicated, and finally he shook his head and said, "I'm not interested in the big things of Champion Hou." Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info"
"Really?" Fa Zheng looked at Zhang Song with a smile, shook his head and said, "Brother Ziqiao, are you still holding your unrealistic family fantasies?" Give up, whether it is to attach to Liu Zhang or look for Liu Bei, the result will not be better than now. β
Born in a family, although it is not a wealthy family, but the Zhang family can also be regarded as a famous family, both Zhang Song and Zhang Su want to revitalize the Zhang family, why is Zhang Song dissatisfied with Liu Zhang? It is true that Liu Zhang's weakness disappointed Zhang Song, but in addition, there are also selfish intentions, in order to consolidate his rights, Liu Zhang constantly woos those deep-rooted big families, so that those old families occupy more and more resources, and small families like Zhang Song are seriously squeezed in both development space and survival space.
If you want to break the situation and break the monopoly of these families on Shuzhong, in addition to counting on Liu Zhang to see the reality clearly and use various means to compete with the family step by step like Liu Yan, you can only seek foreign aid.
With Liu Zhang's character, it is impossible to do this, as for seeking foreign aid, to dedicate the merits of Shu to obtain a higher status, it seems feasible, but in fact, the Zhang family may get more resources because of this, but in addition to Lu Bu, whether it is Liu Bei or Sun Quan into Shu, in order to seek stability, it will definitely make a certain compromise with the old family in terms of interests, which is undoubted, it may grow, but the risk is extremely great, a slight difference in the pool, it is a chicken flying egg, and even a small life can not be saved.
Zhang Song looked at Fa Zheng, a touch of murderous intent flashed in his eyes, he did have the idea of uniting with Liu Bei and offering Shuzhong, this plan was thought about for a long time in his heart before making a decision.
In fact, the most ideal object is Cao Cao, but unfortunately Shuzhong is an enclave for Cao Cao, he can only choose among the remaining two, as for Lu Bu, from the beginning, Zhang Song never thought about this idea, he also admitted that Lu Bu did a good job, but Lu Bu's set, the attack fundamentally cut off the family's control of the world, no matter how brilliant, the life and death of the family are in the hands of Lu Bu, and Lu Bu can decide life and death in one word.
In his bones, Zhang Song regards himself as a family, as for choosing Liu Bei and abandoning Jiangdong, one is geographically, the connection between Jingzhou and Shuzhong is closer than Jiangdong, and the Jiangdong Sun family has been established for the third generation, and the foundation of the family under the command of the Sun family has been formed, once Sun Quan is introduced, it is likely to be squeezed out by the Jiangdong family, although Liu Bei also has this problem, but after all, Liu Bei's foundation is still shallow, and his dependence on the family is greater, so Zhang Song has actually decided in his heart to find an opportunity to contact Liu Bei, but he didn't think of his own thoughts, was unexpectedly broken by Fa Zheng, a hairy boy.
"Don't look at me like that." Fa Zheng sat on the chair, the corners of his mouth showed a touch of mockery, shook his head and sighed: "I came prepared, before entering Shu, my lord and his advisers have studied all the characters in Shu, and among them, the one with the most motivation and ability to dedicate to Shu is you Zhang Ziqiao." β
The nightingale is specifically responsible for collecting intelligence from all over the world, since Lu Bu intends to plan Shuzhong, although he has not really started to do it, but the ability, character, and family background of some important people in Shu have long been studied by Jia Xu, Xu Shu, Pang Tong and other strategists.
The choice of Zhang Song as the breakthrough point was not proposed by Lu Bu, but after a series of analyses by Jia Xu and others, they finally chose Zhang Song as the breakthrough.
First of all, this is an ambitious person, of course, people's ambitions are different, Zhang Songzhi is growing his family, and he has enough talent and vision but he has no talent, and he has the heart to do a career, but he met Liu Zhang, such a mediocre master.
When these factors come together, Zhang Song's behavior is actually not difficult to guess.
"Therefore, Brother Ziqiao should not think about killing people and destroying his mouth, I dare to guarantee that if there is any accident here, tomorrow, Brother Ziqiao's plan and even many things that are enough to testify will appear on Liu Zhang's desk, and when the time comes, don't say that it is dedicated to Shu, the Zhang family, I am afraid it will be difficult to protect everything~" Fa Zheng looked at Zhang Song with a smile.
Zhang Song gasped and stared at Fa Zheng: "I thought that the champion Hou was a hero in the world, but I didn't want his command to be full of these drill camp people." β
Facing Fa Zheng, Zhang Song suddenly had a feeling of being stripped naked, all the secrets in his heart that even the closest people didn't know were not reserved in front of the other party at the moment, this was by no means something that Fa Zheng, a hairy boy, could come up with, for the one behind him, Zhang Song felt a jealousy from the bottom of his heart.
"I really let the military advisor say it." Fa Zheng looked at Zhang Song in surprise and exclaimed, judging from the other party's expression, it was obvious that he was right, and he couldn't help but sigh again in his heart for Jia Xu's perversion.
"You...... Lie to me! Zhang Song's face changed, and he glared at Fa Zheng.
"No, in fact, the military advisor did make calculations based on various possibilities, and what I just said is the most likely one." Fa Zheng shook his head: "Brother Ziqiao, with all due respect, even if you really dedicate Shuzhong to Liu Bei, you may not have a good death, don't forget, your actions like that are tantamount to selling the lord for glory, even if Liu Bei doesn't mind, his subordinates will be disdainful, and the family under Liu Zhang's command will not give you a good look, in the end, in order to calm the anger of the public, maybe, you will still be a victim, why bother?" β
No matter how high-sounding the reason is, but betrayal is betrayal, especially in this era of loyalty, if Zhang Songzhen does that, it really can't be good.
"Don't forget, Liu Bei and Liu Zhang belong to the same Han family, you can betray Liu Zhang today, do you know if he will betray Liu Bei in the future?" Fa Zheng shook his head and looked at Zhang Song with some pity, sometimes, IQ and wisdom are really not the same thing, Zhang Song has outstanding ability, and he has the ability to never forget, but his thoughts are sometimes too naΓ―ve.
"Liu Bei can't, can Lu Bu?" Zhang Song sneered, although it was a mockery, but maybe he didn't even notice it, his heart had begun to waver.
"Neither can we." Fa Zheng Zhengse said: "My lord's principle will not be changed for anyone, in the land, no one can transgress, must be under the jurisdiction of the government, this is the root." β
"Then why should I help him?" Zhang Song sneered.
"Wrong, not to help him, but to help you." Fa Zheng smiled and said: "Shuzhong has not been in war for a long time, the swords and guns are put into storage, and the horses are put in Nanshan, compared with our army, the soldiers of Shuzhong are like children and strong men, how can they compete with the tiger and wolf army under my lord's command?" Moreover, Brother Ziqiao, to put it bluntly, even if there is no you, there may be some trouble, but if our army wants to enter Shu, you can't stop it, and Brother Ziqiao doesn't really think that no one in this Shu is willing to cooperate with my lord except you? β
"Although the landlord will never give it to anyone, as long as Ziqiao is willing, the Zhang family can enjoy many other preferential treatment, such as direct trade in the Western Regions, perhaps Brother Ziqiao does not know, all the caravans of the official families who have made great meritorious contributions can not only enjoy the official protection on the Silk Road, but also enjoy the treatment of 20% of the commercial tax for ten years, and can sell official goods." Fa Zheng smiled.
Twenty percent of the commercial tax, it still sounds like a lot, but in fact, Lu Bu is very ruthless in the tax on the commercial side, one than the completion of the sale transaction, the net profit has to pay fifty percent as the commercial tax, of course, this is for ordinary traders without any background, the caravan of the officials under his command will have a certain preferential treatment, but in order to prohibit someone from maliciously squeezing out the opponent through price concessions, there is a standard price for the goods sold abroad, and any goods sold to the outside world shall not be lower than this standard price, especially for officials who enjoy the right to tax reduction, which will be strictly supervised.
As for the official goods, it is simple, salt and iron are all things that are prohibited from being sold by the people, even if Lu Bu has now made refined salt and has his own salt lake, but this trade is still in the hands of Lu Bu, including some new livelihood products researched by the Ministry of Industry, which are sold through official caravans, without official permission, these monopoly things are absolutely not allowed to be sold privately.
"Twenty percent!?" Zhang Song stood up suddenly, staring at Fa Zheng, he had done Silk Road trading for a period of time in order to maintain the Zhang family's business, of course, not to the Silk Road, but from Chang'an, the things sent by the merchants on the Silk Road were purchased, and then transported to Shuzhong, he knew very well how distressing the taxes collected by Lu Bu were, but even so, he still made a lot of money, and naturally he knew better the windfall profits contained in the two-percent tax.
"Why only 10 years? And why not be exempt? Zhang Song said with some dissatisfaction.
"All free?" Fa Zheng smiled, looking at Zhang Song as if looking at a fool: "Brother Ziqiao, is he joking?" Official protection, on behalf of Brother Ziqiao's caravan on the Silk Road, any problems encountered by the government will be solved by the government, mobilizing manpower and material resources, in addition, official goods, don't say you Zhang Ziqiao, even if it is Cao Cao and Liu Bei, it is something that the lord and the lord are under the command of many ministers who are not qualified to sell official goods, but Brother Ziqiao is complaining about the tax rate? To put it mildly, if the lord really liberalizes the right to sell official goods, not to mention 20%, even if the tax is raised to 80%, all kinds of traders will squeeze their heads to grab it, those things, in many countries on the Silk Road, can be exchanged for the same weight of red gold! β
"As for the ten years...... This is the rule of the lord, any discount will not exceed ten years, of course, after ten years, if Brother Ziqiao can make great contributions again, he can still enjoy this discount. Fa Zheng said indifferently: "The benefits that can be brought to Brother Ziqiao in the past ten years are enough to buy the current ten Zhang families, as for how to choose, it depends on Brother Ziqiao's own trade-off." β
"What do you want me to do?" After a short silence, Zhang Song spoke with difficulty.
When Fa Zheng heard this, the corners of his mouth pulled up an arc, and he smiled: "I will live here for a while, and during this time, Brother Ziqiao should listen to my plan." (To be continued.) )
