Chapter Seventy-Three: Plotting Luoyang
After listening to Dr. Bai's words, Zhou Bian also sighed, usually everything is his own worry, and the young master can only do it according to his own instructions, but he can't make suggestions, if the prime minister of the peace is also competent, but when the entire royal family needs to work hard and forge ahead, he can't stand alone. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć Info Fortunately, there is a Bai Gui, a thoughtful and planned person, such a big thing is discussed, and small things can be served, at this time Zhou Bian realized more deeply that no matter what era, talent is the most important.
However, just having a good plan is not successful, and I don't know what else this Bai Gui is capable of, so Zhou Bian thought about it and asked out loud, "What Aiqing said has opened the mind of this king, but with the current weakness of the royal family, how can we go step by step?" ā
Expecting that the king would have this question, Bai Guihaha laughed and said, "The king, if it is not Bai Mou, everything in this world is inseparable from the word money, with money, you can buy grain and grass, buy horses, buy military equipment, and sprinkle the money, just like the king recruiting troops in the suburbs of Luoyang, there will be people who come to be soldiers, and if there are soldiers and food, the rest of the things can be done." Bai is not talented, he is willing to give all his family wealth to fill the royal warehouse and manage the property for the king, not Bai boasts, the royal family will no longer worry about money in a few years. ā
It turned out that in ancient times, there were really families who came to vote, but Zhou Bian naturally didn't want this favor, so he shook his head and said, "Doctor Bai has passed, and Doctor Bai himself has come to serve, it is enough, where will I be greedy for the Bai family's property?" Aiqing Hugh wants to mention this matter again, from now on, the Bai family's industry is still running, and Aiqing can come to manage the royal family property alone. Besides, with the talent of Dr. Bai, even if the industry is a little bent, if he can always be by the king's side, give advice and make up his mind for the king, then it will be used to the best of his ability. ā
Bai Guiwei thought about it for a while and nodded, after all, it is a big deal to donate the family property, and he is free and easy and believes that the king can give more returns, but there is still an old father at home, remembering the father's scolding when he discussed with his father before, Bai Gui also felt that it was good for the king not to want his own property, so he didn't dwell on it, and opened his mouth to say the following words, "Since the king said it, then the matter of Bai's family property depends on the king, and he will not mention it again." It's just that now the royal family is in Chengzhou, and Bai's family business is in Luoyang, if he is serving the king now, what does the Duke of Luoyang Zhou think, and the king is not good. After the royal family moves back to Luoyang, Bai will inevitably follow the king every day and obey the king's call at any time. ā
In the final analysis, the royal family is too weak now, although Luoyang is rich, although Zhou Gong is pro, but after all, he is not his own person, and he is not the same heart, thinking of the first step plan that Bai Gui said, Zhou Bian couldn't help but hope, could it be that Bai Gui has already made a decision in his heart, and couldn't help but ask, "I don't know what Aiqing saw, when the royal family will be able to move back to Luoyang Wangcheng, in the eyes of this king, this step is the most difficult step, and if you get Luoyang, this king can stretch his hands and feet." ā
Sure enough, it seemed to talk about Bai Gui's itching place, and he only heard Doctor Bai say proudly, "What the king is worried about is the first contribution that Bai wants to make to serve the king." Does the king know about Luoyang Tu Xiao? ā
"Tu Xiao?" This name is very familiar, and after recalling it, Zhou Bian remembered, "Isn't it the old Jin State Doctor Tu Huang?" A few years ago, the first brother went to Luoyang to invite him, but he was resigned by Tu Huang, but Tu Huang still made a plan for the first brother, that is, to secretly collect copper and iron for something in the future, but this was executed by the first brother Wang. Zhou Bian had already learned that it was with Tu Xiao's guidance that he had a large number of weapons and iron ingots in the royal treasury that he had seen after he first ascended the throne, among which naturally there were also those accumulated before, but most of them were obtained by the royal brother in exchange for frugality.
"It is this person, but listening to what the king said, he doesn't know that Tu Huang has two sons, the eldest son Tu He is doing business to subsidize the family, Luoyang was once the first restaurant drunk Qingfeng is his subordinate industry, the younger son Tu Ping is in the army under the hands of Zhou Gong, and has been repeatedly promoted by the first Zhou Gong, and is now a thousand commanders in the army, Tu Xiao's two grandsons Tu Meng and Tu Qiang also serve in the army. Since he made up his mind to follow the king, Bai came to visit Tu Huang, with several years of friendship and the current situation to fight, and finally said that Tu Huang will serve the king, only when the king and Zhou Gong went out of Gongyi in the future, Bai and the Tu family will unite with some other scholars who are willing to serve the king, in Luoyang, will recapture Luoyang for the royal family, when Zhou Gong panicked, the king will take down Zhou Gong, and then Bai and the Tu family will open the east gate of Luoyang, welcome my king into Luoyang City, then the big thing will be decided. ā
It turns out that Bai Gui has not been idle these days, which is really helpful, after all, everything is difficult at the beginning, only with these hundreds of people under the royal family, let alone recapture Luoyang, it is Zhou Gong who suddenly wants to completely control the royal family one day, and it is difficult to stop the Luoyang soldiers themselves, so if it is really as Bai Gui said, there is an internal response, and it is still the help of the commander, find an opportunity to suddenly launch to take Luoyang, the probability of success is greatly improved, so Zhou Bian is also overjoyed when he hears this, I think that Tu Huang still has an unclear attitude under the visit of the former brother Wang, although he may also have a unique performance, but obviously Bai Gui's persuasion still played an absolute role, so Bai Gui really made a great contribution.
However, he knew that the world would not drop pies, so Zhou Bian still asked cautiously after hearing this, "Doctor Bai, the Tu clan is all obedient, is it reliable, but what are the conditions?" "After all, Bai Guiming said that the name seeker is in the court, as for what reputation to leave in the future or to leave a feudal marquis for his descendants, it depends on his own ability, but he doesn't know what this Tu family wants, and what he can give.
Expecting that the king must have a question, Bai Gui said with a smile, "The king is really close in thought, the Tu family is a big family that has lasted for hundreds of years in the Jin Kingdom, and it is the most important promise, so the old man Tu should answer." It's just a condition, the second child of the Tu family is in the army, so he naturally hopes that the king will be crowned a doctor in the future, so that the Tu family can regain the glory of the family, but the request of the boss of the Tu family is a bit interesting, hehe. ā
Seeing Bai Gui smiling and silent, Zhou Bian had an idea and asked, "The boss of the Tu family is in business, does he also want to cooperate with my royal family?" ā
"The king is wise, that's exactly what happened. However, Tu didn't think about anything else, but he felt that the drunken breeze was very suppressed by the natural residence, but he couldn't imitate the soju, so he also wanted to buy some soju from the royal family to support the scene. ā
Sure enough, Zhou Bian brushed his hands and smiled, "What's so difficult about this, but the upper echelons of Luoyang all know that soju is made by my royal family, and I am afraid that my royal family will not be able to fulfill the Tu family's wishes before entering Luoyang, otherwise the identity of the Tu family will be exposed immediately, and I am afraid that it will not be good for the Tu family." After saying that, Zhou Bian suddenly remembered something, and said excitedly, "Actually, I can also create a new wine to sell to the butcher, just these idle boring, just take a little time." ā
Before the king thought carefully that the Tu clan could not be exposed first and was shocked, but heard the king say that there was a solution, although Bai Gui had long been accustomed to the surprise of this nine-year-old child, but did not want Zhou Bian to use his ability without scruples at this time, Bai Gui still couldn't react, couldn't help but stay there, until the king asked, Bai Gui came back to his senses, and couldn't help but smile embarrassed.
"The king forgives me, my subordinates are rude. It's just that I'm amazed by the king, and I'm mentally prepared before I come into contact with the king, but I'm still shocked by the king many times. The king's method is naturally good, and at the right time, Bai can bring the eldest son of the Tu family to meet the king. After a pause, remembering his identity as a strategist, Bai Gui couldn't help but remind, "King, that Tu is different from Bai, Bai is heartbroken to the king to serve, and Tu is here for profit, according to his humble opinion, it is better to do some business with him according to Tu, just like now cooperating with my Bai family to sell wine, there are many novelties in the king's hands, and I am not afraid that Tu will not like it." ā
"Yes." Zhou Bian nodded after hearing this, "Then let this king think about it." However, although there is the Tu family's effect, it is still not enough to regain control of Luoyang, and the Gongyi Gongyi Gongzi class is friendly with South Korea, and the time for the crusade is far away, how can this be good? ā
"The king doesn't have to worry too much, Luoyang is a mess of scattered sand, and all the nobles in the city have their own strength, and they are not all under the orders of the Duke of Zhou, and there are many people who do not obey the Ji Dynasty. Besides, Bai has three hundred samurai in his family, and he can serve the king if necessary, and the royal treasury now has tens of thousands of dollars, so why not secretly go to the land of Sanchuan and Yingchuan to recruit some people, this is the newly acquired land of Korea, and the hearts of the people have not yet returned to Han Hou, so we only need to be careful to not worry about not being able to recruit people. At this time, the families of the giant merchant clans all raised effective warriors, so it was not surprising that a certain person recruited people in the name of Baifu. As for Gongyi, the king doesn't need to worry, Bai has already analyzed the king, there will be a battle between Wei and Han, and it will definitely be a big victory for Wei, and Korea will not dare to be distracted from the royal family under the defeat, my king only needs to wait for the change, and then calm the Heluo in one fell swoop. ā
"It's fine. However, there are no people in my royal family who are familiar with Korea, and I am afraid that I will still trouble Dr. Bai for this matter of recruiting troops in the south. In addition, doesn't this king still owe Dr. Bai 60,000 money, and I don't know when Dr. Bai will come to ask for the debt? ā
Bai Gui became anxious when he heard this, waved his hand and said, "The king doesn't want to make fun of his subordinates, the king doesn't want Bai's property, doesn't he even refuse to accept the 60,000 yuan, don't you look down on Bai?" ā
Seeing that Bai Gui was in a hurry, Zhou Bian had to explain with a smile, and then he said the past, and his heart was admired by the people at this time, the ancients valued righteousness and were like-minded, even if they scattered their family wealth, they did not hesitate to say that this is a good thing or bad, but it does make people sigh.
At the moment, the two of them carefully scrutinized, and decided that the royal family would pay for it, and Bai Gui would come forward to recruit samurai in the name of a caravan to Xinchengyangcheng and other places in the south of South Korea, and after bringing them back to Luoyang, the royal family would send people to practice in the depths of Songshan Mountain, and the Jinmagou found when they went south to practice last time was a good place, sandwiched in the mountains, and there was only a narrow ravine with the outside world to figure it out, after all, there were no Korean soldiers patrolling in Songshan except for Xuanyuan Pass, otherwise it would not have caused many bandits in the mountains, so it was not afraid of being discovered by outsiders.
In fact, Bai Gui came this time, Zhou Bian had the intention of handing over the royal business to him to take care of, so after saying that the military affairs and the recovery of Gongyi and Luoyang were decided, Zhou Bian mentioned it, Bai Gui naturally agreed, but according to Bai Gui, he wanted to let his own caravan directly serve the royal family, but Zhou Bian did not want to take advantage of Bai Gui, so he insisted on still following the existing model, but Bai Gui took care of it, and the supervisor was now unable to manage the royal courtyard and various industries. However, the expenditure of the ledger is still managed by the supervisor Jia, which is requested by Bai Gui, which is the most satisfying to Zhou Bian.
After discussing these many things, it was getting late, and it happened that the supervisor was here, so Zhou Bian ordered him to go down and have dinner with Bai Gui. In fact, Bai Gui came today just to meet the king first, and he still had to go back in the evening, but it was too late to talk, and it was difficult for the king to be hospitable, so he had to stay after some concessions.
