Huang Fuji stared at Wang Huaqiang for a long time before he sighed and said: "Wang joins the army, let me tell you the truth, if I want to keep these Southern Dynasty officers as slaves, of course the problem is not too big, but the question is what can these people bring me?" They are anti-thieves, if you take these people with you all day long, will you feel at ease? To accept a servant, the first thing is to be faithful, and the second is to be useful, I don't see either of these things. ”

Wang Huaqiang nodded: "Indeed, generally speaking, there are not many people who want such captives as slaves, but General Huangfu, have you thought about it, if you are willing to rescue them from the suffering of going to the border pass to fill the army, these people will definitely be grateful to you and loyal to you, not to mention that you can also give them a lot of benefits, so that they will be more determined to you." ”

Huangfu Ji frowned: "Then why don't I give these veterans of the Suzhou army benefits, Wang joins the army, even among these five thousand people, if they want to enter my Huangfu's family as a servant, I am afraid that there are more than two hundred people, their loyalty is obviously much more reliable than these descendants of the Southern Dynasty." ”

Wang Huaqiang said lightly: "Yes, but they don't have the status and influence of these Southern Dynasty officers in the south, they are just a house slave in your place, do you lack these servants who do housework and run errands in your family?" ”

Huang Fuji suddenly became interested: "Oh, Wang joins the army, listen to what you mean, can these Southern Dynasty people bring me other benefits?" Let's hear it. ”

Wang Huaqiang said with a smile: "The last general has made it clear just now that most of these people are powerful and small landlords in the south, not ordinary farmers, and they can be called small and powerful here. Wartime as an officer. Usually return to the townships and towns. Most of them are lizheng, township chiefs and the like, and if they are in the city, many of them are local snakes in various states and counties. This is somewhat similar to the military system of this dynasty, and most of the officers returned to the local area as powerful people. ”

Huang Fuji nodded: "Yes, the Southern Dynasty also has a similar military system of levy, but although these people are a hegemon in the local area, the old man does not have any business in the south." What's the use of these southern serpents? Wang joined the army, you have to understand that the old man's foundation is in the north, and most of the personal guards are from Guanzhong. ”

Wang Huaqiang's eyes flashed with a hint of cunning: "Soldiers are impermanent, water is impermanent, in the past, because there was no unification of the world, the general's power could not be extended to Jiangnan, and now my Great Sui dominates the world, Jiangnan cannot always become the self-reserved land of the Southern Dynasties, and in the future, Guanlong nobles like the general will not be able to divide the fields or run the family industry." There are few people who can't come to Jiangnan.

Now if the general co-opts these Southern Korean officers, he will take them for his own use. With the connections and influence of these people, they can definitely bring benefits to the general in Jiangnan. At that time, whether it is doing business or buying land, it will be much more convenient than entering Jiangnan with two eyes in the dark. ”

Huang Fu Ji touched his beard and said: "Wang joined the army, the old man did not run any industry when he was in the north, the reward given to us by the emperor is enough, my Huang Fu Ji can sit in this position, the high-ranking officials are generous, they have been satisfied, why should they come to this Jiangnan to operate?" ”

Wang Huaqiang said with a smile: "General Huangfu, you don't think about yourself, you also have to think about your children and grandchildren, buying property is one aspect of making a living, the two first generals after the last southern expedition, General He and General Han have been at home for the past two years, you have made a great contribution this time, and the emperor may also give you a high-ranking official to idle you after you go back, and then you will not operate some industries for the benefit of your descendants, what else can you do?" ”

Wang Huaqiang saw that Huang Fuji began to be silent, and continued: "Today, the emperor ascended the throne from the position of prime minister, and experienced the rebellion of Wei Chi Hui before taking the throne, and he is wary of his courtiers, especially the generals in charge of the army. ”

Huang Fuji's pupils contracted suddenly, and he said in a daze: "Wang joins the army, be careful when you speak, what is your intention in comparing me with those anti-thieves?" ”

Wang Huaqiang said: "I don't need to say much about the story of Wang Qian, the general of the Qin State, who is greedy for money and self-defilement, General Huangfu is a person who understands, when the officialdom needs to know how to advance and retreat, you have heavy troops in your hands, you have made war achievements, you have been to the capital official book in the court, and you are also the Suzhou Thorn Shi Weizhen Jiangnan outside, plus the matter of the dragon back then, it is impossible for the emperor not to take precautions against you, operate some industries, show that he is not so keen on power, and it is good for you and your family." ”

Huangfu Ji was speechless for a long time, and then sighed: "Alas, Wang joins the army, what you said is indeed reasonable, the old man has also considered it, but the old man really has no business talent, and most of the family are powerful pro-soldiers, these people can fight, but they are really not good at business, even the few shops that have opened in Daxing City are also not well managed, and they are forced to close their doors because they can't make ends meet." It is even more impossible to let the old man come to Jiangnan to do business. ”

Wang Huaqiang smiled slightly, and said: "General, please rest assured, Hua Qiang is not talented, he was also born in business before joining the army, and the last time he went on the southern expedition, he brought hundreds of thousands of dollars and more than 100 brothers to follow the current Daizhou Assassin History, King Zhu was awarded to join the army together, and the business has been okay in the past two years, that is, there is no help from a high-ranking and powerful nobleman like General Huangfu, if you can afford Hua Qiang, you can cooperate with Hua Qiang to run this Jiangnan business." ”

Huangfu Ji's eyes widened and looked at Wang Huaqiang: "Wang joins the army, do you still have this ability?" ”

Wang Huaqiang sighed: "If you talk about the ability to do business, Huaqiang asks himself to be strong, but you also know that if you want to make money, one depends on your ability to do business, and the other depends on whether you have noble people to help." The son of a Huaqiang businessman, born at the grassroots, has no background, can only make a small fuss, and if the business is a little bigger, it will give people the power to squeeze out, so it has always been up and down, if General Huangfu is interested, we might as well join hands to do this Jiangnan business.

I recently investigated here that silk, tea, and porcelain from the south of the Yangtze River can earn more than three times as much money when they are shipped to the north, the Western Regions, or the Turks, and if the military horses from the north are sold to the south of the Yangtze River, it is also a very profitable one. When the time comes, you can let these Southern Dynasty officers who are your servants use their connections and influence in the south to open up the market, and Hua Qiang is responsible for mobilizing the hot goods from the north to the south, and the profits will be shared together. ”

Huang Fuji didn't roll his eyes when he heard this, a huge bright prospect made his eyes shine, he was actually very aware of Yang Jian's suspicion of himself, just now when Wang Huaqiang mentioned Zheng Yi and others, his excited reaction was an outbreak of real psychology, he gritted his teeth and said: "The old man can promise you about this matter, but those Southern Dynasty officers are demoted, even if they become my slaves, I am afraid that they can't be released back to the south casually." ”

Wang Huaqiang said confidently: "This matter is not difficult, they themselves were brought back to the north, but the fields of the family business left in the south are still there, you can let your cronies and guards stay in Jiangnan, watch the fields of these people, and then let these people pass through their relatives and friends who stayed in Jiangnan, and some former Nanchen officials who are now officials in the DPRK and China, help you open the market, as long as you open a few shops, I can start supplying." ”

Huang Fuji lowered his head and thought about it, and when he raised his head again, he had already changed his smiling face: "Wang joined the army, the old man really doesn't know how to operate, but your mention is very good, I think so, when the time comes, I will select two hundred Southern Dynasty officers, replace the group of veterans and officers under the account that you took away, first help the old man manage those Southern Dynasty prisoners of war during this time, and then return to the north as my domestic servant, how to open a store and operate at that time, we will discuss it after you come from Lingnan, I can also discuss it with my cousin's family when I go back, Let's see if their family is interested in joining. ”

Wang Huaqiang couldn't hide the excitement in his heart, and his voice trembled slightly: "General Huangfu, is the cousin you are talking about the family of General Wei, the general of the Northern Zhou Dynasty?" It would be great if they were willing to work together. (To be continued......)
