PS: Chapter 2

Yidun didn't lie, he did meet Zigong, who was known as "Tao Zhu", and that was six or seven years ago. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

His family happened to be in the area at the junction of Lu Cao, and he was a poor young scholar, who was often hungry when he ploughed and often cold when he was mulberry. He has no education, let alone the support of the township party, and struggles to do a small business as a businessman, and slowly has a lot of capital in the past few years.

Although Yidun is illiterate, he is quite ambitious, and he wants to be a big businessman of the rich princes, and he needs to let them flow and create greater wealth with the little capital in hand. But what does it take to get rich? He was also bold, so he went directly to Taoqiu and asked Zigong, who was still in Taoqiu at that time to run an extravagant business for Zhao Wuxian and had a fortune of thousands of gold, for advice on how to get rich.

Zigong didn't pay much attention to this young man at first, but just reminded him: "Zi wants to get rich quickly, and he should be a beast." It means that we will start by selling cattle and sheep, and then we can get rich when the livestock in Zhejiang gradually multiply and grow.

He also said: "I heard that Zhao Qing of the Jin Kingdom will move to Jinyang, Jinyang is close to Hu Raccoon Beidi, there are many cattle, sheep, dogs and horses, you might as well go there to try, maybe there are business opportunities to find." ”

So Feng Zigong's words for the Bible of getting rich Yidun, so not far to come to Jinyang, in Jinyang and Lou Fu, Dai Guo to do livestock trading, and then livestock growth business, a year or two down, really improved, there are more than 100 cattle and sheep!

But then he found out that he was pitted by Zigong!

In those years, the six secretaries of the Jin State made a pot of porridge, and the Zhi family led Dai Rong to the south, broke the Huo people, and surrounded Jinyang. Yidun also became a pond fish that was affected, trapped in Jinyang City, and most of the cattle and sheep that were finally raised were taken away by the enemy, and the remaining few were also eaten by Yidun himself.

After the war, he went from a small wealthy merchant to a poor man, but Yidun, who already had experience, was not discouraged, and once again organized caravans inside and outside the border fortress and started business. He walked between Lou Fu and Jinyang, and occasionally helped Jin Yang to deliver heavy grain to Ju Zhu Sai, and the number of cattle and sheep in his hands rose again, reaching hundreds of heads, and he was raised in the pasture at the southern foot of Ju Zhu Mountain, and his family was getting richer and richer, and he married a teenage Lou Fu girl as a concubine last month, and his life was impressive.

The winter is very cold, not suitable for business, just in Yidun in Huoren County's warm residence hugging the young concubine, dreaming that he has finally become the richest businessman in Taiyuan, returning to his hometown, proudly entering Taoqiu, to the world's most successful businessman Duanmu to boast of his entrepreneurial road, like a thunderbolt in the sky, but he was awakened by a violent knock on the door!

Dissatisfied with the opening of the door, Yidun couldn't help but gasp, the person who came was the county official of the Huo people, and there were several black-clothed warriors with sunken faces behind them.

"Edun?"

"Yui, it's the villain......"

The leader of the black-clothed guards, a tall warrior, looked him up and down, and sneered: "I'm sorry for you to follow me to the county temple, there are nobles who want to see you." ”

Yidun only agreed, but his heart was open.

Although Shangjia is not discriminated against and suppressed in the Jin Kingdom, his status is really not high, unless you are rich enough to have hands and eyes, otherwise any greedy doctor and county official can easily make you lose your fortune.

What's more, there is no business and no treachery, and Yidun has been doing business at the border in the past few years, and it cannot be said that his hands and feet are clean.

So he was suddenly visited by the officials, he was still a little nervous, but after all, he was well-informed, and his complexion did not change at all, he asked the people outside to stay for a while, he went back to the house to change Lu Min's silk clothes, wearing an old sheepskin fur, and told the concubine to close the door and stay well, and then changed his smile and obediently followed the people outside the door to the county temple.

He has already made all kinds of speculations: Is it that he did not pay taxes in the border when he returned from buying cattle and horses from Loufu? Is it the county officials who sheltered themselves in the past who have fallen? Or was the matter of secretly transporting copper and tin farming tools to Daiguo discovered?

Yidun thought that he should be a medium-sized official, and he could touch the past at will, but if it was the county doctor of the Huo people, it would be a little troublesome.

But what he never expected was that as soon as he entered the county temple, Zhao Wuxian, the head of the Zhao family, the secretary of the Jin State, and the master father of the General of the Lu State, was already impatiently sitting in the hall waiting for him......

……

At this time, Yidun was less than thirty years old, far from growing into the giant who was tied with Fan Li in history, and when he heard that the noble man in front of him was Zhao Wuxian, his complexion suddenly changed greatly, his legs were weak, and he bowed down.

"Shangqing! The villain has always been a businessman, wronged! ”

Zhao Wuxian was amused in his heart, as the so-called "Tao Zhu, Yidun Rich", a big businessman who would be famous all over the world in the future, but now he is a young businessman who has just started......

He raised one hand and said, "I summoned you not to ask about sin, but to ask you, are you familiar with Lou Fu?" ”

Yidong was stunned for a moment, knowing that he was thinking too much, so he immediately wiped away the tears that almost came out of his eyes, and said with a smile: "Familiar, naturally familiar, the villain has to go back and forth several times a year." I don't know what I can do for Shangqing. ”

"It's good to be familiar, I want to find someone who is familiar with the terrain, tribes, and customs outside the Saiwai to consult, you sit down, tell everything you know, and don't omit it!"

Yi Dun sat obediently in the hall, although he had a small income from business, but he was still a small person, except for the relationship with Zigong back then, he had no intersection with the upper class bigwigs. Now that he was suddenly summoned by Zhao Wuxian, given a seat, and asked right, he was a little fluttery and a little nervous for a while.

"I heard that Duanmu Ci was supported by Zhao Shangqing, so that he became a giant from an ordinary businessman, and then became a man of the hour who could make the princes fight against him...... Could it be that I'm going to have good luck today? ”

He stammered like this, and told everything he saw and heard about your troubles......

"Lou Fu has a long history, when Yin Shang lived in the north of Shang, and when Zhou became the king, he also paid tribute to Zong Zhou and Xingtuo."

Zhao Wuxian asked, "What is Star Drag?" ”

Yidun explained diligently: "It is the banner of jade ornaments, there is a mountain of jade in the place of Lou Fu, the water will wash the jade down, and it can be picked up by the river, but the color is far inferior to the jade of Huoshan." ”

"You know quite a lot, but it's a little similar to Zigong, different from ordinary businessmen who only know how to seek wealth." Zhao Wuxian smiled and asked Yidun to continue, but he didn't know that this praise alone made Yidun ecstatic.

After all, Yidun was not an ordinary person, and he slowly became less nervous, and began to tell the scenery outside the plug vividly, and unconsciously even the black-clothed guards behind him were attracted by his narration.

Today, the scope of activities of Lou Fu starts from the big river in the west, to Sanggan in the east, to Luliang Mountain in the south, and to Yinshan in the north, and takes animal husbandry as the main industry. Most of their livestock are horses, cattle, sheep, donkeys, mules, etc. Children can ride sheep, draw bows and shoot birds and rats, and when they grow up they can shoot foxes and rabbits for food. Adult men draw their bows, all wear leather armor, and ride horses. ”

"Lou Fu can have a city farmland?"

"Yes! But not much, the villain listened to Lou annoying self-talk, saying that the ancestors originally followed the water and grass and migrated, but gradually began to have some wooden walls at the northern foot of Luliang Mountain and along the river, imitating the Jin people to engage in agriculture, trade with merchants in the north, and exchange livestock for agricultural tools and seeds. ”

Zhao Wuxian smiled: "You just sell these things to Lou Fu and get cattle and sheep?" ”

"Only ......"

"Have you ever sold weapons?"

Suddenly, his heart was beating wildly, and he swore to the sky: "Doctor Jinyang has a ban, those who go out of the stuff of goods and colonists do not carry iron, gold, tin, leather, arrows, and ploughs, and the villain has always been law-abiding, how dare he openly disobey it, never before!" ”

Zhao Wuxian was noncommittal: "I just asked, there is no best." You continued, how many departments are there, and what is the relationship between them? ”

"There are more than a dozen tribes in Loufu, each ranging from hundreds to thousands of people, not under each other's control, each with its own leader, called 'Jun Chang', there are no words or books, only words are used to restrain the actions of the tribe."

Zhao Wuxian nodded, it seems that the customs of Lou Fu are not much different from the nomads of later generations, but because they live in the northwest of Shanxi and are close to the Jin Kingdom, they are affected and begin to settle gradually, which is similar to that of Dai and Zhongshan. It will take about another hundred years, and the various departments of Lou Fu can be unified into a loose alliance, becoming the enemy of the border when King Zhao Wuling, and being conquered by the Zhao State, and in the next few hundred years, the princes of the Central Plains were strife, and at the turn of Chu and Han, there were many warriors from Lou Fu's origin.

He knew almost the situation of Lou Fu, and the plan was slowly taking shape in his heart, just waiting for the time to be ripe next year, as for the businessman in front of him......

is indeed a usable talent, courageous and knowledgeable, given time, maybe another Zigong! Become your own money bag in addition to Taoqiu!

Well...... Although virtue is not as good as Zigong, but Zhao Wuxian chooses talents, virtue is only a secondary reference condition, businessmen, why are the requirements so high......

Zhao Wuxian suddenly smiled, patted the file in his hand, and said to Yi Dun: "The Dai State and the Jin State are hostile, so I asked Dong Zi to restrict the sentence note and put an end to the trade bazaar with the Dai people, so that Dai Rong could not get the weapons and farm tools of the Central Plains, and make them poor and embarrassed." But the generations urgently need these things, in addition to seeking from the Yan Kingdom in the east and Zhongshan in the southeast, they can only smuggle through merchants, and you are the biggest smuggler of the Huo people......"

……

Yidun's body was shocked, and Zhao Shangqing's next words made him even more cold.

"I know you, you go to Lou Fu Trade every two months, but you go to more than Lou Fu. You will lead the caravan along the upper reaches of the Sanggan River into Daiguo, and hand over the goods nominally traded to Lou Fu to the Dairen tribe in exchange for twice as many livestock as usual, and then drive back to the Senei to tame and sell, and if you go all the way to Daicheng, you can even get three times or four times. Yidun, your enviable and enviable wealth comes from this......"

The voice gradually lowered, and the kind smile on Zhao Wuxian's face turned into a cold cold wind, making Yidun involuntarily bow to the ground and tremble.

"The hustle and bustle of the world is for profit, and the hustle and bustle of the world is for profit, as a businessman, your actions are understandable. However, although there are no borders, merchants have their own motherland, and Xiangao is a good example. If you think you are a Jin person, I am the secretary of the Jin State, if you think you are a Lu person, I am also the father of the general of the Lu State, and some things have been excessive, and I must warn you strictly: If you sell the interests of the country and the clan to the Rong Di ugly class for your own benefit, then even if I can tolerate you, the law will never be able to tolerate you! ”

"What Shangqing taught is that the villain is guilty!" Yidun knew that Zhao Shangqing must have asked people to check himself, and the things he had done in the past year to get rich were all in his eyes, and this little life was only in Shangqing's fingers. He could even feel the cold gaze of the black-clothed warrior behind him, and the sharp sword that could be unsheathed at any time!

What to do, what to do, what to do!? There were big drops of sweat on his forehead, do you want to contribute all your family wealth to serve as Zhao Jun's food salary? But Zhao Shangqing sits on thousands of miles of rivers and mountains, can he take a fancy to his grasshopper leg meat?

But Zhao Wuxian suddenly asked: "You used to be a farmer in Lu State, and later as a businessman, you know the benefits best, do you know how many times the benefits of a farmer planting a grain of millet in the spring?" ”

He was stunned for a moment, thought for a while, and said, "Ten times......"

"How many times the profit can be obtained by smuggling strictly prohibited goods to Lou Fu and Dai Rong?"

Yidun gritted his teeth and admitted: "A hundred times! ”

"100 times, that's good. But you know what? Duanmu gave me in the past, and the official business of the Zhao family was profitable, but there were a thousand times more profit! Ten years ago, he was just a small merchant who defended the country, but now he is the most successful businessman in the world, and he is the actual ruler of Cao State......"

"Although Zigong suddenly became rich, he was still anxious to pay the public, benefiting the country, or mercy to the orphans and the poor, and helping the people, so he could get the name of righteous businessmen and Confucian businessmen, and be famous all over the world, and I could rest assured that Taoqiu would be in his hands. What I want to say is that a person's choices now determine who he will be in ten years' time. Yidun, you haven't been doing this illegal business for a long time, and you haven't been deeply evil, and as far as I know, you haven't betrayed the intelligence of the Jin Kingdom to bring the generation, and it's still too late to turn back......"

He was stunned and raised his head in disbelief, Zhao Wuxian had already walked to his side.

"The reason why I preach so much to you is also because of my love for talent, I heard that you will try your best to redeem the Jin people when you meet the Jin people in Daidi and Loufu, and I will try to redeem them. I can suppress your violation of the ban, and allow you to make meritorious contributions and do things for the Zhao family! ”

As if he had been pardoned, he said again and again: "The villain is willing to die for Shangqing to atone for his sins!" I don't know what Shangqing wants me to do? It's a good idea to go to the soup! ”

"It's not something you have to fight for your life...... Zhao Wuxian nodded to the black-clothed guard at the door, asked the tall and thin warrior among them to come over, and said to Yi Dun again.

"What you did as a merchant before, you will do it in the future, and the prohibited goods will still be transported to Loufu. Daiguo is also allowed to continue to go, and it is deeper than in the past, in addition to the Lou Fu Ministry, as well as Daicheng, Tu He in the north of Daiguo, and Wuwu in the southeast have to go for a walk, it is best to get in touch with the local Rong Di Junchang, climb the friendship, with your courage and ability, it should not be difficult to stop......"

"This ......" Yidun felt that his brain was a little messy, but when he contacted Zhao Wuxian's sudden appearance in Huo Ren and asked him about the troubles in the building, he quickly reacted, lowered his voice and said excitedly: "Shangqing Mo is not...... Want to crusade against Daikoku!? ”

Although he pinched his nose and did business with generations, this was to get rich quickly, what the government prohibited, what was beneficial, businessmen, no profit can not be early. But in his heart, he can't forget that it was the generation who looted his livestock, forced himself to be trapped in Jinyang, and had to start all over again, not to mention that war is often a big opportunity for businessmen to get rich!

"Let you do a good job, don't ask what you shouldn't ask." Zhao Wuxian was not polite to him, and only after telling Yidun to shut up did he introduce the black-clothed warrior to him: "The next time you go out of the fortress, you will take him with you." ”

Yidun guessed that it must be Shangqing's cronies, so he nodded: "I don't know what this Yousi is called." ”

The warrior looked down on Yi Dun very much, but because of Zhao Wuxian's gaze, he could only arch his hand coldly: "Yu Xi, please advise!" ”
