Liu Mang is not worried about money, but what he is most worried about is Jinyang. Will Li Yan be able to complete the task?

"Li Gongzi stays."

At the end of the meeting, Liu Mang called Li Yan.

"Li Gongzi, the matter of Jinyang is related to the overall situation, and Li Gongzi has to put more thought into it."

Li Yan's emaciated cheeks twitched a few times, how could he not know the key to Jinyang. "Young master, please relax, the rock will succeed! If he can't force Wang Shuyou to comply, Yan will cut off his head with his own hands, and then kill himself to thank the world, so that the young master will not bear notoriety. ”

Liu Mang choked up......

……

The meeting lasted a long time, the stakes were high, and when everyone dispersed, their faces were still full of seriousness.

Although the attackers didn't know what the young master was discussing, they could also know from the expressions of everyone that things were extraordinary.

The little girl couldn't help but get nervous.

"Youtian, you go to Qiao's house in person and ask Qiao's family to come over." After Liu Mang finished instructing Gao Chong, he said to the attacker: "Xi'er, borrow the big rooster you raised for me." ”

The attacker only felt inexplicable nervousness, and Nono continued to speak.

……

Qiao Zhiyong came, and Liu Mang once again asked the attackers and others to avoid it.

"There are three things that I have to ask for help from Joe." Liu Mang gets straight to the point.

"Liu Taishou, but please speak up."

"Liu has to borrow money from you." Liu Mang was a little embarrassed, "I am ready to reduce the taxes of Yanmen for three years, but the cost of the army is too large, and the taxes are reduced, and the food and clothing of the army has become a problem." ”

"Qiao got it! Tax reduction for the people, a benevolent and righteous act, this money, Qiao Mou borrowed! ”

Liu Mang was grateful. "I can't borrow this money for nothing, I will give half of it to Qiao's family."

"How does this work?" Qiao Zhiyong waved his hand again and again. If he takes half of the shares, he will occupy the majority of the iron ore mine, which is really inappropriate.

"Qiao is in charge of the house, there is no need to shirk, this matter is so decided, Liu Mang still has two tricky things, and he must ask Qiao to help."

Liu Mangken sold half of his shares to borrow money, and the tricky thing he said would never be an ordinary trivial matter.

Liu Mang's expression became extremely serious. "Don't hide it from Brother Qiao, a certain is planning to enter Taiyuan. However, although a certain Taiyuan Taishou was appointed by the imperial court, the current Taishou Wang Rou Wang Shuyou has a false reputation, so he had to take extraordinary measures to enter Taiyuan. ”

"Mrs. Liu is righteous, and he replaces Uncle Wang, and the people of Taiyuan are also lucky."

"However, Guo Yi, the lieutenant of Taiyuan County stationed in Qi County, is a ** annoyance, if you don't get rid of him, although you are stationed in Jinyang, there will be war in Taiyuan."

"Uh......" Qiao Zhiyong is a smart person, and he has vaguely guessed what Liu Mang meant. Qiao Zhiyong is also a proper person, and cold sweat has oozed from his forehead.

"Qi County is too far away from here to quickly march into the army without being detected by it. Moreover, there are still more than 1,000 elite soldiers in Qi County, and although they can be attacked and overcome, the people of Qi County will inevitably suffer from unwarranted disasters. ”

Qiao Zhiyong felt more and more that the matter was serious. "I also hope that Mrs. Liu will remember the suffering of Li Min."

"Yes, that's why I don't want to use swords in Qi County, but I hope that Master Qiao can help."

Although Qiao Zhiyong was covered in cold sweat, he had to nod.

"One is to collect grain."

"Collecting grain?" This is simple for the Qiao family.

Liu Mang asked Qiao Zhiyong to help buy as much autumn grain as possible from the Qi County area before the autumn equinox.

"The second is to kill Guo Yi."

"Ahh

Liu Mang said it lightly, but Qiao Zhiyong was so frightened that he collapsed on the ground.

Volunteer Yang Yanzhao guarded the Yin Pavilion, and when he was almost desperate, Qiao Zhiyong was not afraid, but Liu Mang said that he wanted to kill Guo Yi, and Qiao Zhiyong couldn't help but tremble.

Guarding the Yin Pavilion and killing the Huns is a righteous act, even if he dies, he will die for the country and the people, worthy of the name of the Qiao family's "faith and righteousness".

But killing Guo Yi is different, Guo Yi is an official of the imperial court!

In the chaotic times at the end of the Han Dynasty, the heroes competed for hegemony, and many Taishou, county Cheng, and county lieutenants were killed, but it was done by the princes from all walks of life.

But Qiao Zhiyong is not a warlord! He killed the county lieutenant Guo Yi, which is tantamount to rebellion!

The Qiao family has been in business for generations, and the ancestors are not allowed to be officials or get involved in political affairs. Now that Liu Mang asked him to help kill Guo Yi, how dare Qiao Zhiyong agree!

“…… Qiao's ancestral training, not to get involved in political affairs......"

"You don't need your Qiao family's slave soldiers to do it, just let my people disguise themselves in the Qiao family's caravan and bring them to Qi County smoothly. Think of another way, make an appointment with Guo Yi, and my people will take care of the rest. ”

"This ......" Qiao Zhiyong was already sweating, which was no different from letting him personally lead someone to do it.

Asking Qiao Zhiyong to help, Liu Mang thought about it carefully and only discussed it with Liu Bowen alone.

In the current situation, if Qiao Zhiyong does not help, it will be difficult to succeed in killing Guo Yi and occupying Qi County.

Since Liu Mang opened his mouth, he must facilitate this matter. "Qiao is in charge, I know you are very embarrassed, you Qiao family ancestor training, you are not allowed to be an official, you are not allowed to be involved in politics. But looking at this troubled world, the Qiao family wants to stay out of it, is it possible? ”

"Being a businessman and not being an official or not involved in politics does have backbone, and it is also a way to ensure the safety of the family. But when do you want to divide it, just say that when Emperor Wu was called, a 'sue order', how many local tyrants and wealthy merchants died? ”

As soon as Liu Mang's words came out, Qiao Zhiyong only felt chills all over his body.

The order is a businessman's nightmare.

During the reign of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, in order to raise military expenses for the Xiongnu and to suppress the merchants, he issued an order. Heavy taxes were imposed on businessmen, high rewards were given, and the people were encouraged to denounce those who concealed their property, and for a time, almost all middle-class and above merchants were all accused, and all of them were raided and bankrupt!

"Qiao is in charge, in today's troubled times, it's not that you can hide from it if you don't want to get involved in politics. Your Qiao family is a big family in the state and even the whole country, even if I Liu Mang doesn't come to you today, Dong Zhuo and Yuan Shao and others will come to you in the future, and your Qiao family doesn't want to get involved in political affairs, it's impossible. ”

"Uh......"

Liu Mang's words made a lot of sense, and Qiao Zhiyong didn't know what to do.

"If you help Dong Zhuo or Yuan Shao in the future, what kind of results will be, I can't say. But I can give you a promise, what I Liu Mang has done, I will never disappoint your Qiao family, nor will I disappoint the people of Bingzhou, and the people of the world! ”

"Liu Taishou, Qiao is really embarrassed......"

"I know how difficult it is for Joe to be in charge. I give you a promise, you helped me Liu Mang, from now on, we will be brothers in life and death. As long as my Liu Mang's forces reach wherever they are, your Qiao family's business can be done. Whoever is unfavorable to Qiao's family is my Liu Mang's mortal enemy! ”

Liu Mang's words were resolute and loud.

Qiao Zhiyong has been in charge of the family business for many years, and over the years, there have been constant wars, because he abides by the ancestral teachings and is not too close to any warlord, which has also caused the Qiao family caravan to be exploited repeatedly, and the business has become more and more difficult.

Qiao Zhiyong didn't want to lean on a big tree, but looking at the world, all the princes are warlords who put their own interests or the interests of the family behind them first. On the other hand, Liu Mang, a young hero who has just emerged, has more heart for the country and the people than other warlords.

Politics is gambling. The ancestral training that the Qiao family is not allowed to be involved in politics is afraid of losing the family business accumulated for generations, and even their lives.

"Master Qiao, Liu Mang is worth your gamble!"

Qiao Zhong...... Promised! ”

"Good! I'm in a bloody alliance with Joe! ”

Swish!

The cold light rises, and the blood shines!
