Chapter 320: The Mask of the King of Lanling
In addition to working women, Jiang Huaqiang also invested enough money in terms of wine for the establishment of his entertainment dynasty, put aside the prerequisites of the previous government's monopoly on the technology and qualifications of winemaking, and spent a lot of money to buy the winemaking resources and labor north of the Yellow River, which made his wine industry also develop by leaps and bounds. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
If it weren't for Juyitang taking over the transportation business of the north-south line, with Jiang Huaqiang's means and brains, it would inevitably be bought by him at a great price one day.
However, having money is not the whole of everything that can be done, it can only be said to be the foundation, because there are many rich people, and there will not be a few people who have money and power, but if you have money and power, as well as violent means, monopoly prices and black and white connections, you can do it, that is, only Su Xingdong of Juyitang.
It's just that there is one more person now, the third son of the Su family, Su Zedong!
Su Zedong is a capable person, this is a thing that the entire Gaoyou City knows, but few know where he can go, and Jiang Huaqiang, who had dealings with him in the Juyi Hall during the Su Xingdong period, can also understand one or two of them, and he doesn't know how powerful and terrifying they are.
In Su Zedong's expectation, the first purpose of his arrival this time was not how to deal with Zhang Shicheng, but to first calm down the hearts of businessmen who had common goals and interests with him, after all, when eating, drinking and having fun in front of Zhang Shicheng, who was in the position of King Cheng, the words he said would definitely be different.
Su Zedong first methodically calculated the specific losses in the tents of armaments and materials at the north gate of Gaoyou City yesterday, and the amount involved, and after converting them bluntly, he contrasted them with the money obtained from them, that is, the money from them, and the result was: The loss is only a drop in the bucket!
Although many businessmen present had different attitudes towards the results of Su Zedong's conversion, they had no conclusive evidence to express their doubts or prejudices, because they personally did not dare and no one under them was willing to implement this matter in the army, so they could only listen to Jiang Huaqiang's arrangement, and Jiang Huaqiang did not react much after listening to Su Zedong's report, so they would not speak out; Second, they are afraid of Su Zedong's own strength and power, they can't afford to provoke him!
Of course, when everything is in front of them, and there are no flaws or deficiencies on the façade, they put forward their own opinions or doubts, and they are suspected of picking bones in the egg, deliberately making things difficult or not giving face, this pot, that part of the people who are skeptical of Su Ze's explanation, dare not put it forward now.
Su Zedong is not a fool, he knows that there is no basis for his words, no matter how calm and calm he behaves, no matter how articulate he is, in the end, the other party will not buy it completely, this is human nature.
And although Su Zedong now knows the first point, there is no way to change it immediately, because there is still one missing, a person who is very important and does not need Su Zedong to put all the data that has been counted or firearms or artillery that have been burned to the point of being unusable, and can help him explain it in front of people who are suspicious of him and Juyitang and Dongzhen Company.
Very happy, the person Su Zhidong was waiting for and said a word for him, and he arrived soon, the person in the golden silk coat was always so angry, and then he brought the head hat that belonged to him and could not be brought, and if he brought it, he would die, and the word "radiant" was used in Zhang Shicheng, who appeared in front of everyone in a gorgeous dress.
Zhang Shicheng is not only the person Su Zedong is waiting for, as the master of this Gaoyou City, the king of hell and the city in this area, his every move can be described as highly anticipated, that is, in addition to all the outstanding businessmen in Gaoyou City present, or the generals in Zhang Shicheng's army, they are all waiting here, looking forward to Zhang Shicheng's appearance.
Now that everyone is here, of course they have to do something.
Treating the rich and noble in Gaoyou City or other outstanding people in various fields, Zhang Shicheng still maintains his gentle and elegant face, iconic smile, and warms everyone with enthusiastic words after giving people the feeling of spring breeze, this is Zhang Shicheng's way of life, Su Zedong summed it up as: smiling tiger, but hidden deeply, in the end, even he lied himself.
The smiling tiger gives people the most direct feeling or its biggest symbol, so he puts a mask or mask that hides his true face on his face, in order to confuse others or deter others, but I am afraid that in the end, after he gets used to such a way of behaving in the world, he will become the number one person on the mask he wears.
The most specific manifestation is the king of Lanling, there is a record in the Book of Northern Qi, the way: the people in the city are Buddha-minded, and the face of the long bow is to save it with the hand of the crossbow, so it is a great victory.
Although there is no depiction of the mask of King Lanling in the official history, this does not mean that there are no other forms of artistic expression other than the expression of history books have been handed down, and "King Lanling" written by Yoshiki Tanaka and Japanese Yaraku have records of it!
According to what is said in it, when King Lanling no longer wears a mask, he still has a certain strength to fight, and after wearing a mask, it seems that all the good things that human beings pursue such as justice, kindness, and mercy in his heart are covered, and they are replaced by killing, rage, and insensitivity to killing!
Even if he has achieved a record of winning a hundred battles and being invincible, the subsequent King of Lanling has not received much good evaluation in both the official history and the wild history, at least compared to before he put on the mask, his independent judgment, torture and killing of prisoners of war, irritable personality, brutality, etc., occupy all the descriptions of his future life.
Come to think of it, Zhang Shicheng is the same, although his heart is thinking about making a big deal and being tougher, but when he is used to wearing the days when he is not rigorous and serious with the people around him, it is too difficult to be serious and strict, plus he likes piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, which is okay for ordinary people, and for the overlord who monopolizes one side, this factor can be said to be the biggest reason why he finally did not get the world and humiliated Les - he did not choose the right face to live.
