Chapter 598 [Planning]
"Teacher, Sylde is wrong."
Syelder bowed his head deeply: "I just ask my teacher to give me a chance to change." ”
"Okay, you're just trapped in love, if you're not a romantic boy, it's nothing." Bai Dong nodded slightly: "Now can you talk about your plan?" Three years is not a short time, with the ability of Mu Xijing and Xiang Meng, when there is a careful layout, and they have endured for so long, it is to do something big? ”
"Teacher Mingjian, Mu Xijing was originally the younger brother of the king of Yiqu, although Mu Zhongtu died, Yiqu still has 5,000 tribal warriors, hiding and waiting to be raised, ready to recapture the country of Yiqu at any time; Now with Xiang Meng's support, Muxi Jingda can borrow troops from Zhongshan with heavy funds, and King Yiqubu is old, but he is afraid that he will not be able to resist. ”
Hearing this, Yingsi glared at Syrd fiercely, who is King Yiqubu? That's his grandfather? It's really not a good thing that this Syald actually joined forces with others to calculate his grandfather!
"Well, if the righteous canal is lost, it will indeed be a big disaster for my old Qin, and it will be a big blow to my national policy of 'assimilating Zhurong', but I'm afraid it's not enough? You kid is determined to be grassy, and that fierce last savings are also looking for revenge on me, and he will be satisfied if he doesn't want my life? It's not enough to just shoot at Yiqu? ”
Bai Dong glanced at Childe and said with a smile: "How much money has Xiang Meng taken out in the past three years?" Ten million or twenty million? If it's less than 30 million, you can't do anything. ”
"Five million silver coins."
'Why, do you only get five million ducats?' Hehe, I underestimated this fierceness a little, and it was originally his housekeeping ability to seek profit. The Bai family received news that there were people in Persia who had recently specialized in the slave trade, and they had sold the cheap slaves shipped from the ocean to those Great Qin soldiers stationed in Persia. Nowadays, all countries in China are abolishing slavery, and even the aristocracy does not dare to blatantly buy their own people as slaves. Otherwise, they will not only be scolded to death by the soldiers, but also face the punishment of the national law at any time, not to mention these soldiers; But Persia has Persian rules, these soldiers have been away from their homes all the year round, and now there is no war, so it is wonderful to buy a slave to take care of their lives. This time I came to Persia. Seeing that there are many slaves in the Young Prince's army, I'm afraid that these are all wonderful things done by the Xiang family? ”
In the early Warring States period, the slavery system basically collapsed, and this is still an era that attaches more importance to 'people ~ rights' than later generations, and even the Son of Heaven in China does not dare to take people as animals, otherwise he will be scolded by the world. However, in Persia, the Persian Empire and the Roman Republic at this time had slaves accompanying the army, who had to provide soldiers with necessary services for life and even physiology in peacetime, and also served as cannon fodder in wartime, forming a unique slave economy. Previously, Bai Dong ordered the Bai family trading company to buy a large number of slaves. Raising the price of slaves in disguise is actually to destroy this unhealthy economic model, but even with the power of the Bai family, it will not be able to do it all for a while.
Lao Qin's army came to Persia, and it was not a mistake for the soldiers to follow the customs, and Xiang Meng could quickly find this way to make money, which was also considered a talent.
This is just one of the many ways Xiang Meng can make money, since receiving the secret letter from that ranger, the Bai family's intelligence system has been working at full capacity. Bai Dong's current information may not be much less than Syrd's; Asking Sylde in person is nothing more than re-verification, and at the same time testing whether this kid really knows his mistakes and corrects them. Pull back from the precipice.
"Teacher Tianren, that Meng is indeed a talent, in just three years, five million silver coins have been rolled by him to tens of millions, but now it is enough to apply, just waiting for a good opportunity."
"Now here's your chance. I came to Persia, and I also brought the prince of Qin, which is simply two fat fish! ”
Bai Dong sneered: "How can it be enough to kill me alone? The Bai family is too powerful, and I have the blessing of Lao Qin, even if I die, I won't have done my best. So if I were you. will take full action, use the army to Zhongshan and chaos the righteous canal to move our country's strategy, raid our military camp and capture me and the prince, make the emperor angry, and also lay out the country, win over the merchants who are dissatisfied with the Bai family in all countries in the world, and comprehensively crack down on the Bai family trading company and the business strongholds established by the Bai family in various countries. At that time, the smoke will be everywhere, even if the Qin State and the Bai family want to extinguish the fire, they are afraid that it will be too late, and the emperor may even be dissatisfied with the Bai family because of the matter of the prince, after all, a Bai family without me may not be favored by the emperor again? If you can do these things, Mu Xijing will become the king of Yiqu again, Xiang Meng will have to take revenge, and you can help the defeated Bai family as my student. ”
Hearing this, Ying Si broke out in a cold sweat, it was so terrible that it was no wonder that Taifu would say that he would let him be the bait, and he soon found out sadly that he had become a bait on a fishing hook since he walked into Persia, and he couldn't help it.
"It's all right from the teacher, but there is still something wrong with Syelde."
"Say it."
"Why did the teacher risk coming to Lydia when he had already believed it? I have an army of 30,000 here, most of which are from the Xi family, if I have a fraud, what can I do with the 1,000 men who protect the teacher and the son? I'm afraid you won't be able to hold out for more than three days! The teacher trusts me so much, and promises me a chance to compete fairly with Cao'er after I succeed, as far as I know, Wu Yuan has been engaged to Cao'er a long time ago, and the teacher is not afraid of people saying that you have no credit? ”
"Because I know that Mu Xijing and Xiang Meng have a great plan, at least bigger than you! Mu Xijing wants to contact Zhongshan to send troops, and Xiang Meng wants to arrange everywhere to deal with the Bai family, how can he easily launch a rebellion? What's more, I have already made a rumor that this time I am going to lead the prince to inspect the seaport of Istanbul, so that no matter how they come and go, they must pass through Lydia, so they will naturally not be in a hurry, but will choose to make all preparations before launching a rebellion. Although your boy is a little repetitive, his feelings for Cao'er are true, and what he said to me in the letter is at least ninety percent true, if there is fraud, you have no reason to act rashly without the consent of the two of them, you are lonely and ruthless, but you are not a fool"
The milk tea was boiled in the small copper kettle, and Ying Si hurriedly poured one for Bai Dong, but glared at Sylde and ignored him. Bai Dong slowly drank milk tea and explained to Child, and every sentence spoke to his heart: "My disciples are the smartest people, and you are the outstanding one among them. Mu Xijing recovered Yiqu to be his king of Yiqu, Xiang Meng was just for revenge, and they had no scruples after they succeeded, but what about you? You don't have the foundation of Mu Xijing, let alone Xiang Meng's determination, even if you kill the teacher and the son of the world and get Cao'er, will Cao'er forgive you? Will Qin Guo let you go again? Not to mention crossing the sea to Greece, the Greeks will most likely use bows and arrows and spears against you! ”
"You will change your mind when you see this clearly, of course, because you have affection for Cao'er, why not have a stake? But that's fine, you are a talented boy for the teacher, as for whether the loyalty to the teacher is enough, it is not a big deal. ”
Bai Dong said lightly: "You suffered misfortune in your childhood, and your temperament is inevitably perverse, so I don't blame you for being a teacher this time." As long as you help the teacher deal with Namu Xijing and Xiang Meng, the teacher will also fulfill his promise, although you can't make the decision to let Cao'er marry you, but it won't stop you from pursuing Cao'er, if she finally chooses you, the teacher will also support her choice, even if she is reprimanded by Yue Guo as untrustworthy, so what? ”
In Cao'er's matter, Bai Dong has always advocated 'freedom of marriage', and everything doesn't matter under this premise, and it was Cao'er's own idea to agree to marry Wuli at the beginning. What he promised Sylde was nothing more than not to stop him from pursuing Cao'er, and as for the outcome, everything depended on Cao'er's meaning.
As for the engagement, it is nothing at all, in Bai Dong's opinion, as long as Cao'er is happy, what if they become relatives? Is there still one less thing that modern people find true happiness after divorce?
"Sylde is willing to go to the soup for his teacher, please show me the teacher, do you want to kill Mu Xijing now?" Although Xiang Meng is not in Persia now, Mu Xijing is in Susa, and it is not difficult to kill him.
"Mu Xijing is still the Daofu of the Western Regions of the Great Zhou, and his crime has not yet been revealed, why should he be killed? What's more, killing Mu Xijing now is tantamount to striking the grass and startling the snake, how can Xiang Meng and the remnants of Yiqu be wiped out? So what you have to do now is to do nothing, and at the same time inform them 'secretly', that the master and the prince will visit the seaport of Istanbul for a maximum of half a month, and in half a month they will return to Susa via Lydia, and there is not much time left for them" (to be continued). )
