When he saw Zhang Shiping and Su Shuang, Wei Yu also took a special look twice, and basically all the fans of the Three Kingdoms knew about these two businessmen. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

It was these two people who had funded Liu Guan and Zhang to convene Xiangyong in Zhuo County, and Wei Yu clearly remembered that many scholars in his previous life had discussed why Zhang Shiping and Su Shuang funded Liu Bei.

Historically, Zhang Shiping and Su Shuang were engaged in the business of selling horses for the big merchants of Zhongshan. During the Yellow Turban Uprising, the two happened to go north to sell horses, but when they encountered the Yellow Turban Rebellion, the horses were not sold, and the money was naturally not earned. For the Yellow Turban, they hated Liu Bei in Zhuo County, and Liu Bei was very charismatic, so they naturally got the funding of the two.

At that time, the Yellow Turban was a rebel, and killing the Yellow Turban could get merit, and the low status of the merchants in the late Han Dynasty, and the Yellow Turban had the slogan of robbing the rich and helping the poor, so they naturally forced Zhang Su to fund Liu Bei.

So no matter what the reason, the two do not have any political tendencies, and funding Liu Bei is only to defend their own interests. So if Liu Bei hadn't been in Zhuo County at that time, they might have funded another person to raise an army against the Yellow Turbans.

But there is one thing that cannot be denied if it is not messy, Zhang Su and the others are still very capable of knowing people, and they are also very generous.

The appearance of Zhang Su and the two in front of them is not as powerful as Wei Yu imagined, because they are casual all year round, their skin is a little dark, and their height is not very high due to long-term exposure to the sun and rain.

After arching his hand at his father's acropolis, Wei Yu saluted the two of them again, "Presumably, these two are the Zhongshan businessman Zhang Shiping and His Excellency Su Shuang." ”

"It shouldn't be like this." Zhang Shiping got up and returned the salute, "I think the two of us are just peddlers and pawns, how can we be worthy of the praise of the world-famous Wei Gongzi?" It's just that Shiping has a question in his heart, how did Childe know that we were born in Zhongshan? ”

He was still very satisfied with Zhang Shiping's flattery, so he replied with a smile, "The two horses are famous in Guanzhong, and although my Anyi is a remote area, I still have heard of the name." ”

After Wei Yu casually unveiled it, he continued to ask: "I just heard that the housekeeper in the house said that the two of them have something important to talk about, but I don't know what the matter is?" ”

Wei Yu was already sitting on the left side of the Acropolis, and the father and son were very interested in hearing what the famous horse dealer had to say.

As soon as Su Shuang heard this, he got up and felt a round wooden block from his sleeve, and Wei Yu knew that it was chess when he looked at it.

"Thinking about it, the chess invented by Wei Gongzi has become popular in Guanzhong, and many people call Wei Gongzi a descendant of his grandson, who can create such a subtle military technique. Zhonglang General Lu Zhi, Huang Fu Song and others have been introduced into the military tent through the recommendation of the Cai family, and many generals are already a middle master. ”

As soon as Su Shuang said this, Acropolis was already smiling, and in his opinion, it was a glorious thing for his son to be recognized by others. But Wei Yu on the side smiled bitterly in his heart, during the Han Dynasty, Go was developed perfectly, and many literati and military generals liked to play Go to pass the spare time, but once there were more, they began to make mistakes. Although chess has a certain military law in it, as Li Ru said, it is only a game after all. If everyone in the army learns or even replaces the art of war, then the army of the Han court is finished.

Wei Yu sighed, and began to say: "I think I made this chess just for entertainment, if it has been introduced to the military camp according to Mr. Su, then the language is a sinner through the ages, if everyone in the army learns and spends time, then my Han army will be abandoned sooner or later." ”

Zhang Shiping, who was still sitting, immediately flashed a happy look in his eyes when he heard this, and stepped forward and said: "What Wei Gongzi said is extremely true, now General Lu and General Huangfu have discovered this, but chess is still popular in the army. Oh no, it should be said that the current trend in Guanzhong is this chess.

A few days ago, General Cai and General Lu jointly wrote a letter, saying that Gongzi's chess should be used as a thing of enlightenment, and it cannot replace the military book to educate soldiers. ”

Zhang Shiping paused, looked at the eyes of Wei Yu's father and son, and continued: "But despite this, Gongzi's chess skills can still be described as the amateur favorite of high-ranking officials and nobles. ”

Acropolis nodded in approval, but the tea he had just prepared was placed on the table, clearly thinking about something.

But Wei Yu has just begun to see some eyebrows clearly, and the two of them already know that the disadvantages of chess are prevalent in the army, but they first praised themselves, and when they raised it, they came to explain that this problem had been solved.

It's an obvious temptation, but it's not clear what the purpose of these two men is.

"I think you two are here for the art of refining salt that my son invented." Acropolis picked up the teacup he had put down again, and put it to his mouth to blow cold, but his voice was majestic and powerful.

"The master of the Wei family is wise!" Su Shuang hurriedly replied, and the two of them seemed to cooperate very tacitly.

"The refined salt invented by Wei Gongzi has been sold to Guanzhong through the Yang family in Fenyin, and many nobles have noticed it, and even the refined salt in the tribute palace has been praised by the Son of Heaven."

"Then according to what Mr. Su said, wouldn't our three Hedong families be in trouble?" Wei Yu immediately stood up when he heard this, he already knew the intention of Zhang Su's words,

The two first used the disadvantages of chess to test the Wei family's tolerance, if Wei Yu's father and son were angry at the two of them explaining the disadvantages of chess, they would definitely not say the problem of fine salt, but no matter how it is now, the two are also kindly reminding the Wei family that the family in the world has set their sights on Hedong.

"What Wei Gongzi said is a bit excessive." Su Shuang immediately said, "As the two of them guessed, Guanzhong and even the world's families have seen the profits brought by refined salt, but for now, some relatively large families are still silent, but small and medium-sized families have begun to move." ”

Although Wei Yu knew that something like this would happen sooner or later, he didn't expect it to happen so soon.

"I want to ask the two gentlemen, is there any movement between the Yuan and Yang clans?"

Zhang Su and the two glanced at Wei Yu, and secretly admired Wei Yu's unique vision in their hearts, just as Wei Yu said, the current family in the world is headed by the Yang family and the Yuan family.

"The two families have not made any moves, but their branches and dependent small families have begun to secretly unite, and for now, the Fenyin Yang clan is their primary target."

Wei Yu's heart sank, the Fenyin Yang family, as a branch of the Hongnong Yang family, had such a salt refining technique but did not report it to the Yang family, although the Yang family that was separated was no longer a part of the Hongnong Yang family, but Yang Ziyi stretched his hand so long and was naturally hated by other branches of the Yang family.

Of course, this must be indispensable to the connivance and instigation of Hongnong Yang.

"In addition, some great Confucians have begun to denounce you, Gongzi, saying that you will hold your hands tightly in such a great plan for the survival of the people in the world, and ignore the people's water and heat. It's full of copper stench, but I don't know what to say. ”

The face of the Acropolis is already terrible, and Wei Yu is also stunned for a while, the family gate valve is nothing more than wanting to share the profits brought by the refined salt, and when the time comes, it is a big deal to purify the refined salt and announce it to the world, and then give some small and medium-sized families the right to sell.

But in the face of the great Confucian Wei language of this era, he is a little timid.

The so-called great Confucianism in the world is to put it bluntly, it is the benchmark of the world with knowledge and morality, these great Confucians generally do not easily attack a person or a family, but once they are in trouble, these families are afraid that they will fall into a place of no return.

"I don't know what the two gentlemen are talking about?"

"Kang Chenggong, Wang Yanfang, Guan Youan, Kong Wenju." Su Shuang calmly said the names of the four people, and then continued: "But the matter is not so urgent, these four only have such a meaning, and they have not really taken action. Childe, you also know that these Confucians do not easily criticize a family, so as long as Childe has the corresponding remedy, it should not be a problem. ”

At this time, Zhang Shiping also spoke slowly, "It's just that HB Chen Kongzhang has begun to criticize and write, and the benefits of his articles are well known to the world, so I'm afraid it will be a little unfavorable to your mansion." ”

Wei Yu only felt that he had a very headache at this time, he just made a little bit of fine salt and actually provoked Chen Lin, a famous troll in the Three Kingdoms, if this troll was a little crazy, maybe he would scold his ancestors for eighteen generations like scolding Cao Cao.

"Thank you two gentlemen for your advice, I don't know what measures our Hedong Wei family should take according to the two gentlemen?" The Acropolis is worthy of the head of the Hedong Wei family, and he has seen a lot of strong winds and waves, although the form is a little crisis, but it is not to rush to the doctor, Zhang Su and the five wealthy businessmen including themselves are still a little different, and they can only represent the general merchant class, so the Acropolis asks like this to want to know what the opinions of the world's businessmen are.

"Don't dare, I think I, Zhang Su and the two of them are just a businessman, for us, we don't dare to ask for the technique of refining salt, we just want to get the right to sell refined salt."

Wei Yu already knew that Zhang Su and the others wanted to use the Guanzhong intelligence to establish a relationship with the Wei family in order to obtain the right to sell refined salt, so they spoke with the nod of Weicheng's agreement.

"The art of refined salt is originally the foundation of the people, and it should be shared by the world, tomorrow the two gentlemen can extract refined salt in my Wei family and sell it, but I don't know where the two of them are shooting?"

"Thank you for Wei Gongzi first." Zhang Shiping bowed, "Most of the two of us go to the north to sell horses, and this refined salt can only be sold to the Xiliang people and the local Qiang people." After we sell it, we will share three-tenths of the profits and dedicate it to your house, and we dare not make a mistake. ”

After bidding farewell to Zhang and Su, Wei Cheng returned to his study, and in his opinion, he needed to operate well to let the Wei family get out. Similarly, Wei Yu was also very troubled, he believed that Chen Xi and Yang Liu must have also gotten such information from Guan Zhong.

Xiao Ru also listened to the conversation between the four of them, and was pacing back and forth in the courtyard with Wei Yu at this time, she could feel her son's troubles, and the robe in her hand did not dare to drape Wei Yu rashly, she was afraid of disturbing Wei Yu's thinking.

Looking back at Xiao Ru's Wei Yu, he understood the robe in Xiao Ru's hand very well, and after putting it on, he went back to the room, and after coming to the Han Dynasty, he was used to writing down what he needed to do, and this time was of course no exception.

Winter will begin in two days, and the Wang family's sales rights should also be released, and take this opportunity to divide the interests of this refined salt to Hedong and even the world's families.

And at the door of Wei Yu, Xiao Ru, who had just brought hot soup, heard her son-in-law's cough again...
