Chapter 273: Meeting Pei Shiju

Wang Huaqiang laughed: "So we have to think of a good thing that can replace it before wine can't make money, is there anything more suitable than soap?" We can transport some spices and perfumes to the Turks, and then collect large quantities of the cattle's pancreas that are thrown away from the friendly tribes, and open secret production bases in the border areas.

By the way, the place where I hid iron ore outside Daizhou City last time was good, and a small half of the soap I made was transported to the Turks to sell to the noble ladies, and most of it was transported to Guannei, and it was sold in places like Daxing and Luoyang, where rich people gathered, and he would definitely be able to earn a lot of money. ”

An Suiyu smiled slightly, and Yingying was blessed: "Yu'er wishes all the best." ”

Wang Huaqiang smiled and kissed An Suiyu's face: "Now we can go to bed." ”

Early the next morning, Wang Huaqiang got up early, whether it was before or after the crossing, he believed that the early bird has worms, especially now, although he has made a lot of money now, but doing business is like sailing against the current, not advancing or retreating, not opening up new economic growth points, maybe in two years you have to drink the northwest wind.

Especially now that the dispute between the princes of the DPRK and the Central Court has intensified, although Gao Xi has not promoted himself to the official in recent years, at least he has not embarrassed himself in business, but in case the competition for the position of the East Palace leads to a major change in the situation of the dynasty, so that Wang Shiji has gained momentum, then even if his good life is over, don't talk about money at that time, it is impossible to save his life.

Since the last pacification of Lingnan, Wang Shiji, who had not been able to march effectively, was recalled to the city to be idle, but after all, the emaciated camel was bigger than the horse, and as a pillar country, he was the governor of a state. Wang Shiji, who is also a heavyweight in the Guanlong Military Meritorious Group. Even if it's to go home and live idlely. And no one dares to underestimate it.

Just like Han Baohu, although he went home and was idle for a time after destroying Chen, he was soon transferred to the governor of Liangzhou, and like Su Wei, after being dismissed from the court, he returned to serve as a prime minister-level Nayan in less than two years, and he became Tian Shelang and entered the Tianzi Hall at dusk. The ups and downs of this kind of important ministers and famous generals are really normal.

So although Wang Shiji has not come to find trouble for himself in the past few years, Wang Huaqiang knows very well that Wang Shiji has no intention of letting go of himself for a moment, and watching his business get bigger and bigger, his eyes will only become redder and redder, and he may treat himself as a big fat pig and want to fatten it before slaughtering.

In the past few years, Wang Huaqiang has not forgotten the matter of revenge for a day, but Wang Shiji has a high position and power, and he is not able to fight against him now. The only way to kill him is to arrest him for treason. But Wang Shiji is also very smart, anyway, he abandoned his official position and went home, and he no longer competed for merit among his colleagues, and most of the time he closed his door to customers, and did not participate in the political struggle between the DPRK and China at all, so naturally he did not leave any enemies behind.

Wang Shiji and Gao Xi and He Ruobi have a very good relationship, and they also move around with each other, Wang Huaqiang doesn't know how many bad things this guy said about himself in front of Gao Xi, but at least Gao Xi has not harmed himself now, but in the future, as the battle for the crown becomes more intense, it is not ruled out that Gao Xi needs the support of Guan Long's military service group to fight against Yang Jian's decision to abolish the prince, and if it really comes to that time, he will definitely be used by Gao Xi as a pawn to curry favor with Wang Shiji, and he will not hesitate to sacrifice it.

Thinking about it, the top priority now is to try to rely on the pockets that have gradually bulged, to use money to spread a rising channel for themselves, to get to know more dignitaries, at least in this upcoming storm can be invincible, only in the battle for the crown, he has the ability to influence the result, can he take the opportunity to gamble, ask for Wang Shiji's life, in order to avenge the great revenge.

Wang Huaqiang thought all the way, came to Pei Shiju's mansion, today he went out early in the morning, from the Bliss Villa to the city's Baiguanfang, in fact, he also set up a good house in the city, usually used to make friends with officials in the DPRK and China, and Bliss Villa, after all, is a happy nest of drunken gold fans, and he can't get on the stage, and he doesn't dare to openly make friends with the powerful people in the DPRK and China under the nose of Yang Jian, who is famous for his diligence and thrift.

Today's Pei Shiju, who is already in the fourth rank of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, the last time Lingnan quelled the rebellion, Pei Shiju made a great contribution, plus the envoy to the Turks, forced to death the princess of Dayi, the sworn enemy of the Sui Dynasty, is very satisfactory to Gao Xi and Yang Jian, in recent years, Pei Shiju has also been inspecting various places non-stop, although he is called Jingguan, but in the four years of time in the capital, it is less than half a year, and it is rare to meet Wang Huaqiang.

When Lingnan broke up, the two had an alliance with officialdom, but at the same time they agreed to minimize public contact if there was nothing important, but today this matter is very important, Wang Huaqiang knew that Pei Shiju was in Beijing today, and he didn't need to go to the court, so he specially visited early in the morning.

Wang Huaqiang's car entered the side door and was led in by Pei Shiju's family, although he has only been here two or three times in the past few years, but because of his special relationship with Pei Shiju, no matter when he comes, someone will be the first to take him in.

Wang Huaqiang sat restlessly in the living room of the side courtyard, the summer cicada outside made him a little upset, and he took a sip of the iced sour plum drink that the servants had just served, his mood calmed down a little, only to hear a sound of footsteps outside, and then looked up, but saw Pei Shiju wearing a silk civilian dress worn at home, and hurriedly came.

As soon as Pei Shiju saw Wang Huaqiang, he smiled and said: "Xingman, what is the urgency, coming here so early in the morning, this is a little inconsistent with the agreement between you and me." ”

Wang Huaqiang also laughed: "Hongdae, I only came back from Jiangnan yesterday, and I came to you today, isn't it important that something will happen?" Sit down and talk. ”

Pei Shiju nodded, sat down on the main seat of the head, clapped his hands outside, and two strong servants rushed in, obviously Pei Shiju's personal guard, Pei Shiju said in a deep voice: "Just go to the courtyard and guard, don't get too close without my order." ”

The two of them rushed out of the house, and there was a noise on the roof, and it soon disappeared.

Wang Huaqiang smiled: "Hongdae, you have to prevent it from being like this in your own home, even the roof of the building has to be guarded, as for it?" ”

Pei Shiju shook his head: "I don't have the blessing of your brother, there are underground secret rooms customized by Yu Wenkai and Yun Dingxing for you, I have traveled back and forth between the Turks and the Western Regions over the years, and I have not offended anyone, many people have threatened to kill me, just this year, I have encountered three assassins, I have to guard against it." ”

Wang Huaqiang's face changed slightly: "Is it so serious?" There are not as many people who want to kill me as there are people who want to kill you. ”

Pei Shiju shook his head: "Your security measures are in place, and there are many capable people under you, I don't dare to be like you, with a bunch of knights as guards at home." After all, I have an official body now, and after the incident of Liu Jushi a few years ago, although the emperor didn't say it, he obviously began to distrust his officials, and I can't raise too many people at this time, so as not to make him alert. ”

Wang Huaqiang sighed, Yang Jian has indeed been stimulated to be a little nervous in recent years, and sometimes he will beat the petty officials who made small mistakes to death directly in the court in anger, and he will also let people take the money and deliberately bribe some state and county-level magistrates.

Last year, Yang Jian ordered that all the strong and brave men who guarded the East Palace be transferred to the emperor as guards, and most of the people who stayed in the East Palace were old, weak, sick and disabled. ”

Since then, not only have the guards of the East Palace been greatly reduced, but even Gao Xi and Yang Su have all been in danger, dismissed many domestic slaves, and also got some good horses and horses raised by the family to the racecourse opened by Wang Huaqiang, and paid thousands of forage fees every month, which should be stored.

Thinking of this, Wang Huaqiang smiled: "But Hongdae, you can tell the emperor that you have encountered assassins, these are all grievances that you settled when you contributed to the country, please ask the emperor to send a thousand cows to protect you, this is not over."
