Chapter 32: Goodbye to the Old Man
Sometimes conversations are like that, because of a topic, because of a sentence, two people will become silent. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 The four words info Gong Gao Zhen Lord are not a person who has reminded himself so far, as early as when he was in Qingzhou, Xu Shu had worried about himself in this regard. Although the relationship between himself and Cao Cao is still in a harmonious state so far, who knows what will become of him in the future?
Thinking of Gao Ye here, seeing Guo Jia's worried face, he immediately smiled and said, "Okay, Fengxiao, don't worry about me." Speaking of ours, each generation of vertical and horizontal disciples has to fight to the death. Now you and I are not like brothers, are we working together? As long as your ability is enough, nothing in this world cannot be changed! ”
Guo Jia also smiled when he heard this: "Yes, I still remember that when Master was alive, you were dissatisfied with this rule. Later, when the master left, you and I married Zilong Yi Jinlan, and always taught us what 'unity is strength'......"
Although Gao Ye and Guo Jia are only in their thirties now, this conversation seems to have lived to seventy or eighty, full of memories. Speaking of which, Gao Ye has always felt that he is very lucky, the master left early, Guo Jia was still young at that time, and the whole thing in the door was naturally up to him. Guo Jia has been following the master for a short time, although he knows what the rules are, but under the care, education and subtlety of Gao Ye, the eldest brother, he still agrees with the creed of unity between the same family, and Gao Ye also breathed a sigh of relief for this year. The turbulent times of the Three Kingdoms, if you count from the beginning of the Yellow Turban Rebellion to the return of the three families, there is a period of nearly 100 years. Originally, he wanted to end the troubled times in his lifetime, and if he and Guo Jia belonged to the two sides again, Gao Ye felt that he was afraid that he would not hope to see the world unified in his life. Therefore, looking at Guo Jia who was reminiscing about the past at this time, Gao Ye couldn't help but feel emotional. It's man-made, and who said that you must fight to the death?
After chatting with Guo Jiachang all night, not only did he not feel the slightest malaise, he set off with his guards early in the morning and rushed all the way back to Beihai. Although I don't know if the battle between Yuan Shao and Gongsun Chan has ended, Gongsun Chan in history has not lived Jian'an for four years. What's more, there is still Yuan Tan in Jinan County eyeing him there, how can he put his mind at ease?
Fortunately, everything was as it was, sitting in the lobby at a high night, examining the documents one by one. From Gao Ye's dispatch to Langya to his return now, two full months have passed, and the development of Beihai and Donglai counties in all aspects has now entered the norm. In terms of government affairs, with Chen Qun here, it can be regarded as a proper handling of it. As for military affairs, the most important things now are only training troops and building cities, and the generals under them will naturally not make any mistakes. Gao Ye suddenly turned to Gan Ning, who was in the middle of it, and the monthly routine report immediately became interested and read. Gan Ning doesn't read much, and as long as you look at this petty letter, you know that it is definitely not something that Gan Ning can write. But the content is like Gan Ning's tone, either Lao Tzu or a boy, with a reckless atmosphere. It also made the dizzy high night change his mood.
Especially after seeing what Gan Ning said in the letter, the recruited sailors and soldiers, after kicking into the sea several times with their big feet, are now able to swim a few times in the sea. When he saw this, Gao Ye even remembered his later life, when he learned to swim in the swimming pool when he was a child, and was kicked into the water by the coach.
Seeing that Gan Ning's navy was also going well, Gao Ye was also overjoyed in his heart, if it could continue like this, there would be no accident, and when Jian'an was five years old, he would definitely be able to give Yuan Shaojun a surprise attack, and let him know that the navy on the Yellow River was powerful.
However, Gao Ye immediately replied to Gan Ning: "...... I already know it. Training the navy is not my forte, so it is all in the hands of Xingba. I also hope that Xingba will work hard and train the navy as soon as possible, which can be worthy of a battle. In this way, Yuan Shao, who was hit the big river, was hit hard in Hebei......" Gao Ye's letter first praised Gan Ning, and then told him to step up his practice, after all, time waits for no one.
Halfway through the letter, a person from outside the lobby hurriedly came and bowed his hand to Gao Ye: "My lord, Lord Mi Fangmi outside the mansion asks to see you." ”
When Gao Ye heard this, he immediately put down his pen and said, "Okay, Zifang is finally here, hurry up and be affectionate." ”
Seeing Mi Fang's capable body, sitting on the side, Gao Ye couldn't help but smile and said, "Yes, Zifang, it seems that your martial arts have not fallen at all over the years." ”
Mi Fang also smiled when she heard this: "That's right, if you don't have any ability, you would have died a long time ago, how can you have the opportunity to sit here and talk to you Mingxi today?" ”
"Haha, you've made a lot of money over the years, but you still need to do business?"
Mi Fang also laughed when she heard this: "If you don't go in person, you can't do it, now in the Yingchuan Chamber of Commerce, there is no Zhen family in Zhongshan, coupled with Yuan Shao's restrictions, our business route has been blocked." In addition, the Zhen family also has a chamber of commerce in Zhongshan, and now the business routes in Hebei are almost all broken. How difficult it is to open up new business routes, and what can I do if I don't do it myself? ”
"Speaking of which, your brother is now a Shang Cao Shi, not only revised the Shang Law, but also increased the amount of money in the lord's hand a lot. Now when it comes to Xuzhou Elk Zizhong, who doesn't give a thumbs up and praise? You are even more prosperous in business, how about it, you listened to me back then, and took refuge in the lord, right? ”
"That's natural, just because we've known each other for all these years, you can't harm me, right?"
"Yes, I came to you today, just because there is a big thing, it depends on whether you dare to do it."
"Huh? This...... It's not a bad thing......"
"What do you think, I won't hurt you just after you finish speaking, so swallow the words back into your stomach?" Gao Ye looked at Mi Fang with a mocking expression and said with a smile, "Now I occupy Donglai, adjacent to the sea. Now he is even ordered to build a naval army to fight against Yuan Shao. But as long as I have a ship, I can't think of you. ”
"This ship is a war ship, what does it have to do with me?"
"However, the dockyard naturally has nothing to do with you, and now that the war between our army and Yuan Shao is imminent, we need to add ships to the navy as soon as possible. It's just that your Mi family has been in Xuzhou for so many years, and there are no merchant ships? ”
"There are a few merchant ships, all of which go to the Yangtze River, and if they are used for combat, as long as they are slightly changed, there is no problem, but now they are all in Donghai County, and when we left, they were all hidden in Yuzhou Mountain, and we were entrusted with someone to take care of them. Now Xuzhou must be, if Mingxi needs it, I will immediately let people drive it back. ”
"It's not that I need it, it's that you need it! Now that I've won Donglai, don't you have any ideas? ”
"Thoughts?" Mi Fang asked with a confused face: "I am now a businessman, this Donglai has been taken, speaking of which, there is another county in the place where I do business, but what does this have to do with ships?" ”
"You, don't you want to think about how much manpower and financial resources you need to transport goods to Liaodong now, and how much profit you can make back? Let me tell you, it is only a day or two to sail from Donglai to the Liaodong Clan. Think for yourself, isn't the profit big enough? ”
Mi Fang took a sharp breath and said, "That's right, if this road is passed, the profit will be dozens of times?" But no one has ever walked this road, and no one knows how big the risks are......"
"If someone walks this road, what else am I looking for you to do? If you want to make a lot of money, you always have to take big risks. And once your caravan has gone through this sea route, when our army conquers Youzhou in the future, or foreign races such as Karasuma and Xianbei, it will shorten our army's grain route. Such a great achievement, you don't want to either? If we want to attack Youzhou, I'm afraid that we won't be able to do it in three or five years, think about it, how much can you earn in these three or five years? ”
When Mi Fang heard this, she closed her eyes and pondered for a moment, and then said, "Okay." It would be a pity if this trade route was abandoned. I'm going to let people go to Yuzhou Mountain to drive the big ship back, so I can step up the staffing and explore this trade route! Mi Fang said with a resolute face, and then smiled again: "But I came today, but I also brought an old man to Mingxi, I think Mingxi wants to use troops against Hebei, this person is indispensable." ”
"Oh? And such characters? ”
"Of course, speaking of which, you should also know that this guy is Zhen Yao, the third son of the Zhen family."
"Zhongshan Zhen family? Didn't their family take refuge in Yuan Shao, what did he Zhen Yao do here? Gao Ye couldn't help but be surprised when he heard this. Speaking of the Zhen family in Zhongshan, in order to hug Yuan Shao's big thick legs, he married his daughter and gave money and food, I heard that Yuan Shao attacked Gongsun Zan this time, and the Zhen family even funded the production of 50,000 winter clothes for military funds. The Zhen family has done this, what is he Zhen Yao doing in Qingzhou suddenly?
"Mingxi, you don't know, don't look at the Zhen family's support for Yuan Shao now, but in fact, these are all the ideas of his second brother Zhen Yan. You also know that his father Zhen Yi used to be an official, but he has been in business since then. What is the status of a businessman, I don't say you know. Therefore, in order to hug Yuan Shao's thigh, his second brother supported the Yuan family in every way. Mi Fang said with a smile, "But Zhen Yao, this guy, thinks that Yuan Shao exploits their Zhen family too much, and the second brother Zhen Yan is obedient to Yuan Shao, so he is dissatisfied, so he ran away from home and came to me to say that he wanted to do business with me." I thought, maybe you'll be able to use such a person, so I brought him in. ”
"I think, I'm afraid that this kid is not good." Gao Ye frowned when he heard this, after all, the Zhen family is now fully supporting Yuan Shao, and a Zhen Yao ran out at this juncture, how can he not be suspicious?
However, Mi Fang smiled and said: "He is waiting in the concierge now, do you want to know whether he is good or bad here, call him in and ask yourself, don't you have a number in your heart?" ”
"Hmph, too. Come on, bring Zhen Yao in! Gao Ye immediately ordered, then glanced back at Mi Fang and said, "When there are outsiders, remember to call me General Hou." ”
"Haha, don't worry, my general. When did I ever make such a mistake? ”
