Chapter 70: The Change in Guanzhong

"Brother Yin, why are you here, sit down and have a cup of tea. Pen Γ— fun Γ— Pavilion www. biquge。 info" Su Yun greeted politely, he still admired the character of Yin Sense.

Yin Zhi was also rude, sat down and picked up the teacup and poured two sips, and said with a calm face: "Liu boy, don't think that you now occupy Hebei and become King Xiao, I don't dare to scold you, I think you have eaten a lot in my house at the beginning." ”

If others say this, they will definitely be regarded as turning over old accounts, arrogant, and wanting to ask for some benefits, but when it comes out of Yin Zhi's mouth, it is simply blame, and Su Yun can hear it, so he can only nod his head and say yes.

Yin Zhi saw that he had a good attitude and nodded, "I heard that you have accepted another girl, and you are still a big beauty, is there such a thing?" ”

"This ...... You mean Miss Guo, right? Su Yun hurriedly explained, "It was King Zhending himself who sent her over as a maid, I don't have ......."

"That's true!" Yin Zhi didn't wait for him to finish speaking, and then interrupted him, "I see that your complexion is much worse now than last time, and you are not small, don't you know moderation for this kind of thing!" ”

Su Yun: "I...... I'm ......."

Yin Zhi waved his hand, "Okay, okay, there is nothing to say about a man's three wives and four concubines, but you must also pay attention to the first come, first come, if you dare to abandon Lihua, even if you become the emperor, I will beat you!" ”

These words are really getting darker and darker, but Su Yun never interjects.

Yin Zhi then asked, "When are you going to pick up Lihua!" ”

"You see that my side is in chaos, and there are wars along the way, Lihua is still safer to stay in Xinye for the time being, and I will take it over as soon as my side has a firm foothold." Su Yun finally spoke.

"Even if you kid has a little conscience, remember what you said, and I'll treat it as a promise." Yin Zhi's face finally softened a little.

"Yes, yes, yes." Su Yun wiped his sweat and scolded in his heart, this was obviously Liu Xiu's fault, but he let himself wipe his mouth, it was really wronged.

"Alright, let's get down to business." Yin Zhi shook his sleeves.

Su Yun: "Huh? I thought you were here specifically for Lihua's business. ”

Yin Zhi glared at him, "Am I that idle?" Just knock you on the way. He immediately changed his serious expression, "You know that our Yin family has been a businessman for generations, and there are many businesses in various places, you people still have to eat, right?" So under normal circumstances, no matter who occupies the territory, the impact on us in business is not too great. ”

"That is, as long as you are not a rogue, if you want to consolidate your power, you still have to rely on you." Su Yun nodded.

Yin Zhi continued: "Last year, the old man handed over all the business to me, and during this time, I have been running around to take care of the business in various places, and other places are fine, since a few months ago, the business in Guanzhong has been completely cut off. ”

Su Yun: "I know what you said, Wang Mang suddenly blocked the border a few months ago, and the inside and outside of the border have been completely isolated, not to mention you businessmen, even our spies can't enter." ”

Yin Zhi: "No, the situation is different, the world is in chaos, the heroes are rising together, and it is not the first time we have encountered the matter of blocking the border, so naturally there are ways to deal with it." ”

Su Yun suddenly became interested, "What method?" ”

Yin Zhi: "We have a lot of hidden channels in various places where we can deliver news and transport goods. ”

Su Yun immediately understood, isn't this just smuggling, although many forces will not kill chickens and take eggs and directly ban merchants, but in order to collect money, they will often be heavily taxed, so big businesses generally have their own secret channels, which can avoid official ways to smuggle goods.

Seeing that Su Yun understood what he meant, Yin Zhi continued: "But the situation in Guanzhong this time is extraordinary, even if Wang Mang controls all these businesses, at least he should be able to pass on some news, after all, there are thousands of guys inside, but there is really no news at all, I have sent several teams of people to enter the customs from various secret passages, and no one has come back." ”

Su Yun frowned, it seemed that the situation in Guanzhong was even worse than imagined, and Wang Mang's actions were not just as simple as a military blockade.

Yin Zhi: "Originally, these were all business matters, and I didn't bother to come to you, but a few days ago, a person ran from the secret passage, and I happened to be met by our people guarding outside, and the news he brought out was very strange, and I couldn't figure out what was going on after I learned about it, thinking that it would be useful to you, who called you my brother-in-law!" ”

Su Yun's eyes lit up, and he almost jumped up from his position, "Who is that person?" Bring it to me! ”

"Dead." Yin Zhi sighed, "When he came from the passage, he was skinny, his body was full of scars, and he didn't last long before he died, and later we recognized that this was a guy from a Wancheng business, who had just escorted a batch of goods over before the border was blocked, who would have thought that a strong young man would be tortured like this." ”

"And what did he say?" Su Yun hurriedly asked.

Yin Zhi thought for a while, and then spoke, "He was already very weak when he came, so he didn't say much, he just heard that there was a person called 'FΓΌhrer' over there, and all the people from other places in the customs were arrested into a place called 'concentration camp', and the people inside were forced to work, and they were monitored all the time, and the rest of the people in the area were 'crazy', his words were very fragmentary, this is the meaning I summed up, I can't figure out what those words mean, or I have never heard of them." ”

"FΓΌhrer?" Su Yun sat down slowly, this term came out of the mouth of the 'ancients' of Yin Zhi, which made people feel inexplicably absurd, the most famous person with this title was the war maniac on another continent more than a thousand years later, plus 'concentration camp' and 'forced labor', Su Yun already had a rough guess in his heart, "I may know what happened in the pass." ”

Yin Zhi was curious: "Oh? Then you explain it to me. ”

Su Yun scratched his head a little embarrassed, he didn't know how to express it to a Han Dynasty person, after thinking for a long time, he finally said: "The current situation in Guannai is likely to be implementing a new policy, the head of state is the emperor, but with a different name, your businesses may have been confiscated by the imperial court, and all of them have become the property of the imperial court." ”

Yin Zhi: "Isn't that just a robbery?" And what is a 'concentration camp'? ”

Su Yun: "This is also simple, it is usually called forced labor, it is estimated that all the outsiders in the customs have been arrested to do hard labor." ”

Yin Zhi frowned and said, "Could it be that Wang Mang wants to rebuild the Great Wall?" In recent years, the war has continued, most of the people have been displaced, and the population has moved very much, not counting us businessmen, the displaced people who have poured into the customs are at least more than one million, and there is no need for so many people for hard labor! ”

Su Yun shook his head, "Of course so many people don't build a certain thing, if they are allowed to farm, raise livestock, dig rocks and dig canals, etc., and participate in the daily life of the people, is there still a million people?" ”

"Do you mean all of them are reduced to slavery?" The Yin consciousness reacted quickly.

Su Yun nodded, "It's not wrong for you to understand it this way, these people are under centralized custody and have to work under supervision every day, no different from slaves." ”

"This kind of thing is against heaven and earth, isn't it? Although it has been common to keep private slaves since the Qin Dynasty, such a large-scale is still unheard of, and what are these people's crimes? Isn't Wang Mang afraid of the people rising up? ”

Su Yun shook his head, "What if all the local people involved are complicit? ”

"How is this possible? I don't believe that no one questioned such a thing that violated the harmony of heaven, you see that Wang Mang just pushed a few new land policies back then, and it caused chaos in the world. Yin Zhi felt incredulous.

Su Yun: "You are a businessman, you should know the temptation of profit, if the local people can get great benefits from it, such as getting food and money without having to work, will they speak for these slaves?" I think they're going to get involved in arrest and surveillance in order to continue this life, which is why your buddy will say that the people in Kannai are 'crazy'. ”

Yin Zhi was silent, as a businessman, of course he could understand Su Yun's words, and after a long time, he sighed, "People's hearts! ”

Su Yun stood up and patted him on the shoulder, "You don't care about this, you have done me a great favor this year, I owe you." ”

"You kid owes me a lot, you don't have to worry about me, I'll think about it here, you can go with your business." Yin Zhi obviously hadn't digested what he had just said, Su Yun didn't say anything more, and left the guest room quickly, he was going to hurry up and tell Xiao Tiandao the news now.
