Pei Shiju's expression was serious, and his eyes were shining: "Today I came to invite you to tea, in fact, it is also to point you to a way to make money from Jiangnan to run a tea business and secure insurance, although Gao Fujiao did not explicitly object, but after all, the Turks are a tiger and wolf foreign country, in principle, he does not want to open a wide field with the Turks and trade for a long time."

As soon as the soap business grows, it will be impossible to stop, and when the time comes, it will lead to the reopening of the entire trade with the Turks, which is not something you can control. The imperial court's policy towards the Turks was impossible to allow the existence of such large-scale trade, and once the Turks could freely obtain their necessary daily necessities through trade and exchange, then the imperial court's greatest weapon against them - the dowry trade brought by the peace and kinship would be gone. ”

Wang Huaqiang sighed: "I know that you want to feed the Turks like dogs, starving to death, but you can't let them eat, lest they have the strength to resist the imperial court, but is this policy really good?"

The Turks are not beasts, and you know how hard life is on the steppe, if you can have clothes to wear, pots and pans, who would be willing to risk their lives to rob? I have always believed that opening up trade with the Turks and allowing them to obtain these daily necessities in a peaceful way is the way to achieve long-term peace and stability. ”

Pei Shiju said categorically: "No, Xingman, your thoughts are very dangerous, Yidi has a beast's heart, fearing power but not virtue, if you are good to them, they may be grateful in a short time, but in a few years, they will immediately have a heart of disobedience."

Human desires are endless, and the Huahua World of the Central Plains will always have an irresistible attraction to these savages on the grassland. Ordinary Turkic herders do not have this understanding, and they do not think that the Han people have these things for the sake of the Han people. And I didn't. They will only think about why you can have a wife and children to warm the kang head. And I have to eat sand and drink the wind on the grassland.

The Turkic nobles know this truth, but they also hope to enter the Central Plains and live the life of the Han nobles, plus these northern barbarians are good at riding and shooting, and the force is strong, if they are unified and strong, no matter how many daily necessities you sell them every year, you can't satisfy their ambitions, because what you buy is always better than what you rob.

Lines full. Do you know Wei Yi, the newly deceased governor of Yingzhou, the nephew of Wei Xiaokuan, the god of war of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, and the younger brother of Wei Xun, the former governor of Guangzhou? ”

When Wang Huaqiang heard that Wei Yi had died, his face changed, and he blurted out: "Why did Wei Yi die?" ”

Wei Yi is the nephew of the famous Northern Zhou general Wei Xiaokuan, and also the son of the drip long house of the Wei lineage, the Wei family has always been an important member of the Guanlong Military Meritorious Group, Wei Yi and Wei Wei were young because of their father's early death, and they also grew up in the home of their uncle Wei Xiaokuan.

Wei Yi himself graduated from Guozi School. He followed Emperor Wu of Zhou to fight in the south and the north, and advanced to Shangyitong with military merits. Later, he was sent to the governor of Xiangzhou, under the command of the general Wei Chi Yuan.

Yang Jian became the prime minister in the Northern Zhou Dynasty, and after seizing the power, he sent the famous general Wei Xiaokuan to take over the post of governor of Xiangzhou, and Wei Chi Yuan, who commanded the troops outside, was ready to start a rebellion, and Wei Xiaokuan also knew about this matter, and before entering Yecheng, the governing place of Xiangzhou, he stayed in the post station outside Yecheng, did not enter the city, but sent someone to secretly summon his nephew Wei Yi to inquire about the news.

Wei Yi knew about Wei Chi's rebellion at that time, and because he had followed Wei Chi for many years, he was willing to participate in this rebellion, so he was speechless in front of Wei Xiaokuan. And Wei Xiaokuan brought up Wei Yi since he was a child, and he saw that Wei Yi had a ghost in his heart, and he was so angry that he was about to cut him with a knife, which frightened Wei Yi to his knees and confided the truth.

Wei Xiaokuan enlightened Wei Yi for a long time, and knew the benefits, especially when he told Wei Yi that almost all of the Guanlong military nobles like himself were on Yang Jian's side, and Wei Chi Hui had no chance of winning, which made Wei Yi make up his mind to defect from Wei Chi Yuan, and the uncle and nephew fled overnight.

As a result, when Wei Chi's pursuers arrived, firstly, there was no stagecoach to replace, and secondly, there was good wine and meat, and they were too lazy to pursue it, and finally let Wei Xiaokuan and Wei Yi's uncle and nephew escape with their lives.

Afterwards, in order to stabilize Wei Xiaokuan, Yang Jian did not hold Wei Yi responsible, and also reinstated his official and led the troops to fight.

For many years after that, Wei Yi has been serving as the assassin of many states and counties in the hometown of Northern Qi, and after the suppression of Southern Chen, he was named the governor of Yingzhou (now Chaoyang, Liaoning).

The area around Yingzhou is a desolate and barbaric place outside the pass, outside the lonely hanging, the west, the north, and the east are facing the huge pressure of the Turkic, Khitan, and Goguryeo three strong captives, and the non-important ministers can not sit in the town, Wei Yi is burly, and the appearance is majestic, and every time there is a foreign Yi to see, he will form a whole ceremonial array, wearing official uniforms, sitting alone on the couch, which frightens these foreign envoys to tremble, and does not dare to look up.

It's just that although this Wei Governor is good at governing the army and guarding the border, he is an out-and-out huge greed, taking advantage of his convenience with the three foreign states bordering the country and the Tiangao Emperor to carry out border smuggling on a large scale.

But the reason why Wang Huaqiang formed an alliance with Huangfu Ji before, and let him pull the Wei family into the shares, in fact, this is also the most important thing, Wei Yi's Yingzhou is also a channel that can trade with the Turks, Khitan, and Goguryeo.

Although it is too far away from the Turkic Khan's court, the trade of silk and bronze in exchange for barbarian war horses, cattle and sheep, and slaves can still be done, and Wang Huaqiang has also taken Yingzhou over the years, and secretly did two times the smuggling trade, and the profit was as high as three or four times, although Wei Yi's huge greed directly blackened forty percent of the profits, but he still made a lot, so when he heard that Wei Yi died, he was immediately shocked, and this expression appeared directly on his face.

Pei Shiju saw Wang Huaqiang's reaction and smiled: "What, you still have a business with Wei Yi?" ”

Wang Huaqiang nodded: "Yes, I walked through Yingzhou twice, and it was through Huangfu Ji's way, but this guy is too greedy and too black, I don't like it very much, after Huangfuji's death, I haven't dealt with him again, I originally wanted to enter a batch of tea in Jiangnan and try to go to Yingzhou again, and trade with Goguryeo to order lacquerware, bows and arrows and ginseng, etc., now it seems that this road is broken." But it doesn't matter, I'm going to be an official anyway, and business things can be put aside. Hongdae, what did you mention to me about him? ”

Pei Shiju sighed: "Xingman, you are a smart person, you should know what I am referring to, whether it is a high servant or a shot, even the emperor doesn't like his courtiers to always think about their own personal interests when they are officials." It's not like you haven't learned this lesson.

In addition to Wei Yi, the guard general in Jiangnan Jiankang back then Zhongwen and the Ministry of Industry Shangshu Yu Wenkai, partnered to resell military rations, greedy for ink project funds, and were dismissed from the official at home, Yu Wenkai later borrowed money from you to catch up with the relationship of Yue Guogong, relying on the construction of Renshou Palace to turn over a little, and became a general as a eunuch, and Yu Zhongwen has not been reinstated in these years of activities everywhere, these important ministers and nobles are like this, you are a son of a businessman with no foundation, can't you see these lessons? ”

Wang Huaqiang sighed: "That's it, if you don't do this soap business, the national policy is not formulated by people like us anyway." Hongdae, I listen to you, the soap business is only one time, to attract dyeing and drying to come and attach the plug, I use the money I earn to buy rice and cloth, and donate it to the national treasury so that dyeing and drying can gain a foothold in the southern grassland, just when I do a free business for the country, this is always fine. ”

Pei Shiju nodded: "Yes, but there is one more thing, Gao Servant hopes that you can change your name, after all, you were dismissed last time, although you are only a Jiupin school scholar, but after all, there is a record in the imperial court, if someone finds out what we are doing in the Turks, it will be troublesome." ”

Wang Huaqiang's eyes flashed green: "This name can also be changed?" ”

Pei Shiju said: "Gao Servant has already helped you think about it, in the future, you will be called Wang Shichong, just say that it is Wang Shiji's brother, he has already said hello to Wang Shiji, Wang Shiji also promised to let your family re-rank the Wang family tree, if you officially return to the Wang family, you can also be regarded as a child of the family, this identity will help you gain a foothold in the court." ”

Wang Huaqiang muttered to himself: "Wang Shichong?!" (To be continued......)
