Chapter 29 The General Trend of the World

After the two looked at each other for a while, Zhou Bian couldn't bear it, but it was not because of the other party's deep eyes, but because of the sharp words just now. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

"Bai Gongzi has said so much, but he doesn't know what he wants?"

"Xian Gongzi, he is a businessman, and he is in business, since he already knows that Gongzi is the boss behind the scenes, he naturally wants to talk to Gongzi about some business matters, but he doesn't know whether it is convenient or not?"

This Bai Gui is also direct, but Zhou Bian can't believe it for a while, although the royal industry has just started at this time and is about to develop rapidly, but Zhou Bian hopes that the rhythm is steady development, and he would rather be slow than chaotic. Now I don't know whether this Bai Gui's identity is credible, and I don't know what his character is, so Zhou Bian didn't dare to agree indiscriminately, so he had to deal with it, "Although this son is the boss, this business is all taken care of by Zihei and a few other shopkeepers, and he has never been careful." ”

Hearing this, Bai Gui was not surprised, raised the wine cup, and said to Zhou Bian, "I was disrespectful and rude in my words just now, so I borrowed a glass of wine from your family to express my guilt." Respect for the first work below. As he spoke, he tilted his head and drank all the wine left in the cup.

Seeing this, Zhou Bian also licked a small bite as a courtesy.

Bai Gui said again, "I also know that this business is a big deal, and Gongzi Xian can't make up his mind for a while, this time I can see Gongzi's face, and I am already satisfied with it, even so, we won't talk about business today, what does Gongzi think?" ”

And Zhou Bian's heart is spinning rapidly, if this person is really a businessman, he can also cooperate, and then look at this person's subtle observations, he must also be a smart person, at present, the royal family is in charge of the industry, and he is the head of the inner palace, somewhat lacking in skills. If you can absorb Bai Gui to do things for yourself, it is unbelievable, but it is too early to talk about anything, seeing that there is also a temptation in this person's words, Zhou Bian is not willing to lag behind, and said, "I am young, I don't know many things in this world, and I hope that Bai Gongzi will not deceive me for ignorance." ”

"Hehe, if Childe is ignorant, then how can many people in this world live. Although Childe is young, he acts calmly and behaves properly, even if he reads countless people, he has never seen such a young and old man as Childe, and he dare not think that Childe is young. Bai Gyu laughed.

"Bai Gongzi is exalted. A child came to Luoyang, a few years have been closed to study, recently walked Luoyang between the city, occasionally heard people talk about the general trend of the world, the disputes of the countries, but not very clear, if the son is not too troublesome, but also please Bai Gongzi to teach me. Zhou Bian said sincerely, you must know that at this time, businessmen walk the world, often better informed than ordinary people, but the royal family has not communicated with other countries for many years, many royal and noble children have never been out of Cheng Zhou in their lives, and the news is closed like a blind man, which makes Zhou Bian very helpless. Hearing Zhou Bian's question, Bai Gui was not surprised, Fan Yu also straightened his back, thinking that he also cared about these.

"Although he is only a businessman, but the business is also closely related to the general trend of the world, just like the war between Han and Chu now, there must be an urgent need for a large amount of grain and grass, if you can know half a year in advance, the grain and grass will be transported to the new city of Yiyang as soon as possible to sell, it will definitely be sold at a good price, and then sell herbs after the war, it is also a way to make money." Saying that, Bai Gui suddenly smiled, "Hehe, seeing the smile, I just said below that I wouldn't talk about business, but now I can't help it." Under a self-penalty cup. ”

Saying that, he picked up the wine cup and raised his head to drink, looking at the satisfied expression, Zhou Bian couldn't help but scold, this is self-punishment, it is obviously self-appreciation.

Bai Gui continued, "Speaking of the general trend of the world, let's start with this Luoyang City. Although the royal family of the Great Zhou Dynasty is weak, the name of the Son of Heaven is still there, and Luoyang has not been invaded by foreign soldiers for hundreds of years, so the business in Luoyang City is developed. But the most commercially developed is not Luoyang, but Linzi and Anyi. Qi country for hundreds of years for a strong country, profound heritage, Qi Gongwu killed the king to ascend the throne, has been several years, presumably has been rectified the affairs of the court, it is said that this person is as virtuous as thirsty, the country of Qi will be prosperous in the future. "Qi Gongwu is talking about the monarch of Qi surnamed Tian Mingwu, which is the Warring States Qi Huan Gong in history, but in ancient times, he was only sealed after his death, so he was called Qi Gong at this time.

I have never heard anyone talk about this Qi country, Zhou Bian and Fan Yu couldn't help but nod their heads again and again.

"Besides, Na'anyi, hundreds of miles northwest of Luoyang, was the first fiefdom of the ancestor of the Marquis of Wei, and after hundreds of years of operation, prosperity is approaching Linzi. Wei is the first power in the world, invaded Qin in the west, got the land of Hexi, defeated Chu in the south, and won the land of the Central Plains Liang, Wuhou dominated the world when he was in the country, but who knew that Wei almost died last year, alas! ”

It turned out that there was such a thing, the royal family was really lonely, Zhou Bian hurriedly said, "Son, please speak." ”

After the death of Wei Wuhou, the current Wei Marquis Wei Qi and his younger brother and son slowly compete for the throne, but the court doctor Gongsun Qi did not know what it was for, and fled to South Korea, saying that Han Hou and Zhao Hou took advantage of the internal turmoil in Wei to attack Wei State, defeated the Wei army in Xunze, and besieged Wei Hou in the army. At that time, I heard about this matter and sighed for a long time, when Wei Wuhou was there, how majestic, dominating the princes, no one in the world dared to block its edge, but just after he died, there was a sign of the death of the country. ”

This Bai Gui can also tell stories, but when he talked about this, he looked at Zhou Bian and sighed lightly, "This is what happened last year, haven't you heard of it?" ”

Zhou Bian was not in a hurry, shook his head and said, "I don't know." ”

Bai Gui then continued slowly, "Unexpectedly, at this moment of success, Han Hou quarreled with Zhao Hou. Zhao Hou wanted to get rid of Wei Hou Qi and let Wei cede land to the two countries, while Han Hou advocated dividing Wei into two countries, not killing Wei Hou Qi, Wei was divided into two, and the national strength would be greatly weakened, and it would no longer pose a threat to Han and Zhao. Zhao Hou did not agree with Han Hou's proposition, Han Hou was angry, and withdrew from the battlefield with his army overnight, which made Wei Hou breathe. Then Zhao Hou saw that there was no chance to take advantage of it, and he also withdrew his troops. This Wei Hou naturally returned to Anyi, son, do you guess what the first thing this Wei Hou did when he returned to Anyi? ”

"Hehe, according to Ben Gongzi's opinion, it must be to rectify the affairs of the court first and control the Wei State as soon as possible." Zhou Bian said without hesitation.

"High, Xian Gongzi only saw very high. However, I heard that after the Marquis of Wei returned to Anyi, he first killed Gongzi. As he spoke, Bai Gui gestured with his hand to cut off his head. Wei Hou's knife will be eliminated, and the Wei State will be determined from now on. ”

Zhou Bian couldn't help but secretly worry about Wang Sunman, Doctor Man didn't know about these news in advance, and he didn't know if he could adapt to the situation. His face remained unchanged, and Zhou Bian gently raised the wine cup, "Come, toast to Wei Hou." ”

After saying that, the two took a sip of each other, and Zhou Bian still licked it.

Bai Gui came up with wine, his face was slightly red, he looked around carefully, and then he stepped forward and whispered, "Xian Gongzi, everything I talked about in the market is known, but I think there is a deep meaning in it." ”

"How?" Zhou Bian wondered.

"This Han Hou withdrew his troops overnight. You said that Wei was originally the strongest, and now there is a chance to trample it under your feet, but you gave up just because you couldn't talk to Zhao Hou, does Gongzi think it's possible? ”

Zhou Bian shook his head in a hurry, it seems that this Bai Gui is really looking at it.

"I thought there was something unknown to outsiders. Therefore, in the past six months, special attention has been paid to this Wei State. It is said that the Marquis of Wei was surrounded by Zhao and Han, and he will take revenge, but South Korea also sent troops south this year to fight with the Chu State, hehe, don't say that you don't know about this matter. ”

"I know this, but I don't know why the two countries fought?"

"Why did you fight, it wasn't for land, food, money, or anything, but for anything. But the point is not here, but Han Hou knows that he has just offended the Wei State, but he is still at war with other countries, is he not afraid that the Wei State will burn the backyard? Saying that, Bai Gui smiled mysteriously, "I just learned that the Wei State is also sending troops and is about to go south, but Han Chu is still fighting here, so I have a bold conjecture that Wei Hou is not here to take revenge, but to help Han Hou fight the Chu State." If this is the case, this Han Hou must have some agreement with Wei Hou, so he withdrew his troops overnight. ”

This bold conjecture made Zhou Bian stunned, but if you think about it carefully, it is very possible, Han and Chu are playing like foreign workers every day, most of them are from South Korea and other Wei countries, and Chu State thinks that Wei is here to fight South Korea, so the two sides are acting. Thinking of this, Zhou Bian nodded deeply, "What Bai Gongzi saw is really something that people can imagine, but if you think about it carefully, it is common sense." If it is according to Gongzi's words, the state of Chu will definitely be defeated this time. ”

"No, no, no." Bai Gui shook his head, "Don't you know, the state of Qin and the state of Wei are feuds, and the land west of the river of the state of Qin is still in the hands of the state of Wei, so if the state of Wei goes south, the state of Qin will also go south, and the state of Qin and the state of Chu, the country of nephew and uncle, the state of Qin will definitely help the state of Chu." ”

"Then this time it's really lively. But I don't know how about the two kingdoms of Qin and Chu? Zhou Bian asked curiously.

"The Qin State has been in turmoil for decades, otherwise it would not have given up the land west of the river like this, but more than ten years ago, the Wei State sent the Qin prince Yinglian who lived in Anyi back to the Qin State, originally wanted to support a pro-Wei Qin State, and did not want this Yinglian to succeed to the throne as the Duke of Qin, but he worked hard, trained day and night, and vowed to recapture the land west of the river, and in a few years, there will be a big war between Qin and Wei." Bai Gui was not bored and would answer any questions, but when it came to this, Bai Gui smiled mysteriously, "It is common for the Qin State to help the Chu State or lead the troops south because of the enmity with the Wei State, but this time, the Qin State sent troops under other banners, so can the prince know what it is?" ”

He didn't even know that the Qin State had sent troops, and how could he know what banner he was fighting, Zhou Bian naturally shook his head.

Perhaps expecting the other party to shake his head, or simply to attract the other party's attention, Bai Gui smiled and continued, "A few years ago, Han Hou interfered in the affairs of the royal family's Gongyi, and took the opportunity to occupy a few small towns. Qin Hou is here under the banner of standing up for the royal family, hasn't the prince heard of it? ”

There is such a thing, how can the royal family never hear of it, could it be that the Qin State didn't think about informing the royal family at all, I came out for you, but carried the banner in a muffled voice? However, when he heard this, Zhou Bian was really surprised, but then he forcibly returned his face to normal, but he just smiled when he looked at Bai Gui, and he didn't know if he saw anything. After thinking about it, Zhou Bian finally couldn't help the doubts in his heart and opened his mouth, "If you want to come to the Chengzhou royal family to get such strong reinforcement, you will definitely come out, why have I never heard of this matter in Luoyang City?" ”

There should be no problem to ask this, Zhou Bian thought about it a few times and felt that there would be no suspicion of revealing his identity, so he asked. As soon as the words came out, Zhou Bian looked at Bai Gui worriedly, but perhaps more than that, he was expecting the answer.
