Han Baohu let out a sigh of relief and said: "There is one more thing, that is, in the future, I hope to do some business in partnership with your Wang family, but don't worry, I will make a return, first, I can find a way to stop Wang Shiji from attacking you in the court, and second, I will also arrange a way for you to become an official." â
Wang Huaqiang suddenly became interested, these two things are the things he is most concerned about now, and he hurriedly said: "I want to hear about it." â
Han Baohu said: "Although I am likely to take the initiative to resign after returning to the DPRK this time, I, Han Baohu, as the first contributor to the destruction of Chen, have been a veteran for many years, and I also have a certain influence in the DPRK." The Hu generals in the Guanlong area have their own small group, and I and He Ruobi, as well as Wang Shiji are all members, and because of this, although I am not ashamed of Wang Shiji's personality, I can't openly turn against him.
But for the same reason, Wang Shiji will give me some face, as long as I speak, he won't dare to kill you. Wang Huaqiang, if you make a deal with me, I can only keep you safe, but it is impossible to help you take revenge on Wang Shiji, and you will have to solve your enmity with him in the future. â
Wang Huaqiang nodded and said: "I understand this, I don't want to fake others about revenge, I will definitely do it myself." If General Han can protect me, I am already grateful, and I will not ask for more. â
Although he said this, he had a strong impulse in his heart, wanting to know what the road to becoming an official that Han Baohu said would be next.
Han Baohu continued: "As for your path to becoming an official, the current Lingnan and Xiangzhou, Jiangzhou are not peaceful, and the land of Sanwu in the Southern Dynasty has not gone through war, after all, the Southern Dynasty has gone through more than 300 years from the Eastern Jin Dynasty to the present, and the hearts of the people in these places are still towards the southern scholars.
Besides, it is easy to eliminate the Chen Dynasty, but it is very difficult to eliminate the great clans in the south, these people may not fight to the death for the Chen Dynasty, but if they take away the people's property and inheritance, they will definitely burst out with amazing combat effectiveness.
If the old man expected it was not bad, the people of the Southern Dynasty might rise up to resist under the instigation and leadership of these southern scholars, and the imperial court wanted to completely extinguish them, but I was afraid that it would take several years to fight.
Moreover, the east-Turks in the north, although they were continuously attacked by our dynasty a few years ago, the old Khan Sha Bolu was subdued by our Great Sui, and after his death, he also set up his younger brother Chu Luo Hou who was close to our dynasty as his successor, but in October last year, this Luo Hou was killed by an arrow, and Sha Bolu's son Yongyu Lu became the new Khan, known as Dulan Khan.
After this person came to power, he was ambitious and wanted to make a difference, plus Princess Anyi, the princess of the clan of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, had been accepted by successive khans as Kedun since the beginning of Shabalu Khan, she had the hatred of losing the country, and there was not a day when she did not instigate the Turkic Khan to invade my Great Sui in the south, and I expected that once the southern expedition was over, the north would not be peaceful.
Wang Huaqiang, you are a natural commander, there is a talent of generals, if you encounter a big war, there should be an opportunity to make contributions, if there is a war in the south, presumably the emperor will send Yu Zhongwen or Yang Su, or Yu Wenshu to lead the troops to the battle, and if there is a change in the north, he may send Sun Sheng, the general who has been dividing and disintegrating the Turks all these years, these people have a relationship with me, I can recommend you to their account to listen to the order. â
Wang Huaqiang endured the great excitement in his heart, and began to calmly judge the intention of Han Baohu's words, this southern expedition made him understand that there is no good thing in the world for no reason, and he and Han Baohu are not related to each other, why should he try his best to give himself the opportunity to create a zĂ o as an official? Just let yourself make a small report to He Ruobi? Thinking about it, he felt that it was unreasonable, and a trace of doubt flashed in Wang Huaqiang's eyes.
Han Baohu saw the change in Wang Huaqiang's expression clearly, and said with a smile: "Wang Huaqiang, do you think that the conditions I offered are too generous?" Rather, a little unconvinced? â
Wang Huaqiang didn't speak, but his silent attitude had already explained it.
Han Baohu sighed and said: "Wang Huaqiang, in fact, you don't have to doubt my sincerity, helping you is actually helping ourselves, I don't want to get involved in the struggle for the throne of the princes, and I am determined to retire, but I also need money, this robbery of Chen's treasury, plus the emperor's reward after the war, can only be managed for a while, but it is impossible to manage for a lifetime, so I hope to cooperate with you." â
Wang Huaqiang laughed: "General Han, so you also hope that our family will transfer the condition that was given to Wang Shiji to you, and give you 100,000 yuan a year?" â
Han Baohu smiled and waved his hand: "I am not as greedy as Wang Shiji, nor is he so stupid, the premise of cooperation should be mutually beneficial, if you can't make your partner have enough benefits, you will definitely not have a good impression of me, this kind of cooperation will only stumble and will not succeed."
Wang Huaqiang, now I will give you a formal mention, I will give you 500,000 yuan as capital, let you run a business, do business, and make money, we will share it together, how about it? â
Wang Huaqiang didn't expect Han Baohu to make such a suggestion, and he was stunned for a while, speechless.
Han Baohu smiled: "I estimate that the total value of the dozen or so branches of your Wang family's firm is about five or six hundred thousand, and I will give you 500,000 now, and the money I earn every year in the future will be divided into half of me, and I will share the money I lose every year, what do you think?" â
Wang Huaqiang swallowed his saliva and said in a deep voice: "How do you know how much money you make and how much you lose every year?" â
Han Baohu said: "It's okay, I see how big your business can be, if you are only these dozen shops every year, that year is at most one hundred or two hundred thousand income, if you open a new store, naturally this business and scale will get bigger and bigger, and how much money you give me every year, I have a number here." I also believe that you, Wang Huaqiang, will not risk offending me Han Baohu to seize the interests that belong to me. â
Wang Huaqiang quickly calculated in his heart, so that the money he earned in the future would be half of Han Baohu, but with this 500,000 money, at least more than a dozen branches could be opened on the Silk Road, and he had just successfully laid down two shops in Guzang City a year ago, but he still needed a steady stream of financial support, this southern expedition, in order to raise armaments, took out 300,000 at once, and the pension for the guards of the merchant group who died in battle after returning was also a large amount.
These days, Wang Huaqiang tries not to force himself not to think about these annoying things, but as long as he is free, the instinct of doing business will fill his head with these things, and now the family's spare money is less than 200,000 yuan.
But this damned war not only took the life of the eldest brother, but also left behind seventy or eighty families who had lost their husbands, and more than a dozen guards who were disabled by injuries.
Wang Huaqiang had also calculated the night before yesterday that each of the injured would have to pay at least 1,000 yuan, while the deceased would have to pay 1,000 yuan in bereavement first, and in addition to 3 or 400 yuan a year to raise the children of these people, and he would have to pay about 100,000 yuan as soon as he returned home. The rest of the money can only be used as working capital, and in two or three years, it will not be able to expand the business.
But at this time, Han Baohu's 500,000 yuan is so valuable, he can completely let himself implement the plan before the southern expedition, and this time he came to Nanchen, he found that many goods in the north, especially pack horses and leather products, can be sold at a good price in the south, and the silk and tea here in the south are also extremely sought-after goods in the north.
Thinking of this, Wang Huaqiang was relieved, and cooperating with Han Baohu was tantamount to having a protective umbrella that he had always needed.
One of the most important reasons why my father is so resolute in asking his three brothers to go south and make contributions to his sons is that someone must make meritorious contributions to become officials, so that his family's business will not be forcibly seized by people like Wang Shiji.
