Chapter 207: The Gold Mine Lost
When you go back, help me bring a message to the God of Wealth, and say that I have invited him to my house. โณยข' Li Yibai sat and looked down at Shaoxing Zhixian Road.
The magistrate of Shaoxing nodded again and again, "Yes, yes." King Wu, I will retire first. โ
With that, he got up and left trembling.
After the magistrate of Shaoxing left, Li Yibai immediately held a meeting and began to study the reform policy.
Li Yibai was anxious for everyone to come to the other courtyard.
The annex has always been a meeting place for them. The scenery is elegant, the grounds are spacious, and can accommodate a lot of people.
However, this time Li Yibai did not recruit officials from all over the world. Instead, consult with your own men first.
Li Yibai just sat down, and Xiaoqiang hurried over.
'Young master, it's not good. โ
Li Yibai was puzzled, "What's wrong." So flustered. โ
Xiao Qiang stopped and said eagerly, "Our gold mine in Sichuan has moved. A group of powerful people near Yibin did not know how to raise their money, and they even openly robbed our gold mines. However, our gas fields and steel plants are fine for the time being. They don't understand the benefits of those things, they only rob the gold mines. โ
'What kind of person is this who is so bold as to dare to touch my property, hasn't he heard that I am the king of Wu?' Li Yibai asked.
'Our people have said you, young master. But those heroes are very cunning. They are not at all afraid of external forces. They colluded with a gang of indigenous barbarians. Those indigenous barbarians have always been feared by officers and soldiers. I don't know how they used to take advantage of those barbarians.
The barbarians do not understand human feelings, they have been friends with wild beasts for a long time, they kill people like hemp, and it is said that they also eat human flesh. Each one had purple stripes on their faces. The beast screamed. They are also called. The wild beasts are afraid of them.
The guards of our gold mines are no match for these people at all. It was defeated all at once. And the barbarians also ate the human flesh of these slain guards. People in the neighborhood were panicked. No one dares to act as our defender. We can't recruit guards locally either. โ
Li Yibai asked again, "Then do you know who Haoqiang is who is the leader who is against us?" โ
Xiao Qiang said lightly, "I only know that my name is Zhou Qiang." I heard that he was a big landowner in the Yibin area. His ancestor was named Jiannan Hou, and it is said that he also inherited the title. Because he has a knighthood, he does whatever he wants in the local area, he is not afraid of anyone at all, and he is still a local emperor. โ
'Good. We'll be meeting him soon. Li Yibai said, "Now everyone is here." I have one more thing to discuss with you, and that is about how to deal with the East God of Wealth. โ
Li Yibai raised the letter in his hand.
Lu Zhishen was indignant and said, "Big brother, the Eastern God of Wealth has sent people to assassinate you many times. We can't keep this kind of vicious villain, he has no way to come to Chengcheng if he wants to. โ
Long Wu also said, 'The Eastern God of Wealth is rampant in the south of the Yangtze River, doing whatever he wants, if we keep him, it will also be a trouble for us. It's better to get rid of him. Chop the grass and eradicate the roots. โ
Tie Dan said, "The young master can do whatever he wants." I don't have any opinions. โ
Elevator Dao. 'If the God of Wealth is willing to submit to us.' Let us spare him for the time being. After all, he is just an ancient, bound by old ideas, after all, our previous reform in Lin'an also affected his interests. โ
Hearing Gao Chengshi say this, Lu Zhishen was furious, "Old Gao, how can you talk to outsiders." โ
Li Yibai waved his hand, "I think what the elevator said is right." We need a justifiable reason to do things. thinks that the reason why Liu Bei was able to create a world in the turbulent times of the Eastern Han Dynasty was because he relied on the word benevolence and righteousness. Now we are in the Great Song Dynasty. What do the Great Song people believe in the most? It is still the word benevolence and righteousness, and the East God of Wealth still has a huge use. His organizational network is still very sound, he is deeply rooted in Jiangnan, and if he had helped us, I think it would have been easier for us to reform.
We shouldn't have so many enemies, or they will wreak havoc in the shadows. We can't carry out reforms, but we have been fighting against them. It's worth the cost.
As for the East God of Wealth, he fought against me before. Master Gao is right. His starting point is different from mine. It's only human nature that he is against me. Now that he sees that I am powerful and wants to take refuge, I must accept him with a broad heart.
Think about those heroes, Zhu Yuanzhang, Liu Bei, Li Shimin, Cao Cao, which one of them did not surrender to the enemy generals. Only in this way can great things be done. Now I am no longer a small businessman who only did business in Lin'an.
Since I am in charge of the reform of the Great Song Dynasty. Then we have to give up some petty grievances for this matter, take a long-term view, and be more open-minded. โ
'Good. Dad, that's a great thing you said. Listening to you, it's better than reading a book for ten years. Long Wu said in amazement.
Everyone applauded and changed their minds.
โฆโฆ
Suzhou Dew Terrace.
'Good news, owner. The magistrate of Shaoxing hurriedly ran into the living room of the East God of Wealth.
When I entered the living room, the East God of Wealth and the money account room were there.
'Boss, Li Yibai has promised to see you. He asked you to go to Lin'an to see him in person. Shaoxing Zhixian stopped and said breathlessly.
'Really. The God of Eastern Wealth was pleasantly surprised, but his face darkened when he thought about it, "See him." โ
The money account room was worried, and said, "Boss, I don't think this is right. Li Yibai wants to see you, and it is estimated that there will be no good results. Maybe this is the Hongmen feast. He will catch you when he sees you. You are now in Suzhou, and the local prefect is sheltering you temporarily. You still have a chance to escape. But where you go to him, I guess it won't end well. โ
The magistrate of Shaoxing hurriedly said, "Dongjia, I see that there is a chance for this." Li Yibai let me go this time. He also knows the bad things I've done to him before. What's more, I also met Zhang Ru. Li Yibai also really married Zhang Ru as his wife. Whoever kills him, he can take his wife. With such a mind, we should believe in him. I think he meant it from the bottom of his mind. โ
The money account room is an old man, and he never believes that there will be such a good person in the world. Based on his own experience in the rivers and lakes, he still persuaded and said,
'The owner. You and Zhang Ru are different. Zhang Ru is an ignorant little girl. How much harm can it be to Li Yibai.
What's more, this little girl has been tamed by Li Yibai. But you? You are the leader of a large organization. As the saying goes, the thief captures the king first, and your organization can only disperse when you are captured.
Li Yibai knows that you are a difficult opponent. He can tolerate you with a huge organization on the territory of Jiangnan. He doesn't get rid of it sooner later? He's always seen you as a great threat. โ
When the God of Eastern Wealth heard this, he hesitated.
He kept walking around the room.
'Go, or not go. If I don't go, I will inevitably offend Li Yibai. Then my only chance was gone. Hey, it's a pity that I'm the head of the four gods of wealth, and I have ended up in such a situation. โ
The magistrate of Shaoxing wanted to persuade the East God of Wealth to go.
Because of this, he can be regarded as making a contribution to Li Yibai. It shows that he conveyed this matter very well. As for what happens after that, that's not his control.
But if the East God of Wealth didn't go, then his own life might be in danger, and if Li Yibai blamed it, he would not be able to escape the blame.
'East God of Wealth, you better go. Li Yibai can't afford to offend. Besides, you're a big shot. The big man wants to talk about the courage of the second master to pass three levels and kill six generals. As long as you don't lose your trust in him, even if you die, you will die brightly. โ
The Eastern God of Wealth hesitated for a moment, and suddenly he stopped. 'Yes. Gotta go. There must be a turnaround in this matter. As long as I still have something to use, Li Yibai will not harm me.
If I don't go, there's no better way out. So I can't afford to waste this opportunity. โ
After finishing speaking, the East God of Wealth immediately prepared a carriage and was about to go.
The money account room persuaded, "God of Wealth, you just want to go, you can't be in such a hurry." Why don't we get some luggage? โ
The Eastern God of Wealth glanced coldly at the money account room, "You are old and confused. At this time, what else to prepare. I arrived as fast as I could, and I was able to save my life. โ
After saying that, the East God of Wealth ignored him and immediately went to the place of the carriage.
'Little Lizi, go immediately, don't stay and go to Lin'an immediately. โ
'Owner, Lin'an is a long way away, are we preparing some dry food? โ
'Just go, did you bring the money?' โ
'There were two hundred taels. โ
'That's enough, let's go. Don't stay any longer. โ
Xiao Lizi had no choice but to move forward.
The East God of Wealth ate all the dust, disgraced, and got off the ship again when he arrived in Shanghai. In ancient times, the traffic was not good, the roads were all mud, uneven, bumpy all the way, there were many waterways in the south of the Yangtze River, and there were few bridges.
When they got off the boat, they got on their horses, and when they got off their horses, they got on the boat. I don't know how many times I changed before I came to Lin'an City.
When he arrived in Lin'an City, the East God of Wealth was exhausted, and his outfit was like a flower who wanted to eat, which was really dirty.
'Excuse me, where is the Wu Palace?' โ
'Hmph. The two of you are called Hanako, and you also want to see King Wu. Passers-by said disdainfully to them.
Xiao Lizi was furious, although he was a driver from the East God of Wealth. But he had more money than the average rich man.
It was also the first time that the god of wealth had heard of him being called Hanako. But instead of getting angry, he found it funny.
He pulled out one of the wrenches from his hand and handed it to the passerby. Look at how much this is worth. If you can, you can lead the way and take us to King Wu. This wrench is for you. โ
Passers-by are also wealthy people, and they have seen high-end wrenches, and they can see at a glance that this wrench is worth a fortune and can buy three streets. A wrench can make a street of people eat for a lifetime. What a man of great wealth.
It turned out to be a big shot. Small eyes, please bear with me. I'll take you to King Wu, please come with me. The passer-by knew that these two men were not simple and that they might have something important, so they agreed to them.
When they arrived at King Wu's mansion, the guard asked, 'Who are you looking for?' โ
Xiao Li Zi said, "You just said that the Eastern God of Wealth asked to see King Wu." โ
The guard smiled, "You dare to be a god in front of our King Wu, it's really too bold." โ
The Eastern God of Wealth stopped Xiao Lizi, and he said lightly, "Please tell me, just say that Li Youcai wants to see King Wu." (To be continued, please search, the novel is better and faster!)
