Chapter 338: Dong Zhuo's Ambition

readx;

Hedong Hedong County, Qinzhi, Han Dynasty, Lingjiu County, is located in the southwest of Sizhou, east of the Yellow River, west of Beidi County, south of Hongnong County, there is a gate valve in the county, is one of the four major businesses in the world! Wei Qing, who was passed down from the Han Dynasty, was not only a merchant, but also a super warrior, and his influence in Hedong was very terrifying. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

There is a saying: Of the nineteen counties in Hedong, the Wei family accounts for nine! It seems very exaggerated, but in fact, in the entire Hedong, the words of the head of the Wei family are more effective than the holy decree of the imperial court, and even most of the bureaucrats in the county are the children of the Wei family.

Dong Zhuo became the Taishou of Hedong, which is not a good thing, because in Hedong, most of Dong Zhuo's rights have been hollowed out, although there are tens of thousands of Xiliang Iron Horsemen in his hands to follow, but it is impossible to argue with the Wei family, of course, the Wei family does not dare to go against Dong Zhuo too much, after all, Dong Zhuo has real power.

Since coming to Hedong, Dong Zhuo has been working to recover the military and political power in Hedong, there is no suspense about the military power, under the coercion of Dong Zhuo's tens of thousands of troops, the Wei family had to give in, but the regime is difficult to say, after all, the officials of more than ten counties were dismissed at once, Dong Zhuo did not have the courage, even if he could be dismissed, Dong Zhuo had no place to find someone to take office.

Dong Zhuo's mansion was built on the opposite side of the Wei family headquarters in Anyi County, this building is the original Taishou Mansion, but Dong Zhuo felt too dilapidated, so he ordered the people to be mobilized to rebuild.

Since the war subsided and the position of Liangzhou pastor was deposed, Dong Zhuo's surname has changed, his temper is sometimes good and sometimes bad, and sometimes he even whips some unrelated maids to death on the spot, which is very brutal, how could Dong Zhuo become like this? Could it be that Dong Zhuo is really destined to be a demon king?

There is a reason for the surname of the demon king, although Liu Tai has changed a lot when he came to this era, but some things cannot be changed, Dong Zhuo, who is the Taishou of Hedong, is unwilling, because Dong Zhuo thinks that he has worked hard to defend the territory of the Han Dynasty against the enemy, and tens of thousands of brothers died on the battlefield, and in the end, even the position of state pastor was dismissed, and he can only live in this district of Hedong County, how can Dong Zhuo, who is already very ambitious, be willing?

But what if you are unwilling, does Dong Zhuo dare to rebel? Can't! Dong Zhuo still remembers the scene when hundreds of thousands of Yellow Turban soldiers were ordered by the imperial court to light sky lanterns and cruelly divide their corpses, Dong Zhuo didn't want to try this taste, so Dong Zhuo could only take soldiers and horses into Hedong County, the most difficult county to manage in the Han world.

"Father-in-law, this is the money and food provided by the Wei family recently" Li Ru walked into Dong Zhuo's room with a gloomy face, put a thick account book in front of Dong Zhuo and said.

"En" Dong Zhuo nodded lightly, took the account book, his face didn't show any joy and anger, it seemed to be a little rigid, glanced at Li Ru, Dong Zhuo said: "Wenyou, what news is there from the Wei family recently?" ā€

"Father-in-law, it is rumored that someone within the Wei family proposed to move east to Hebei and give up the land east of the river" Li Ru looked at Dong Zhuo's bland look, a little worried, in Li Ru's opinion, the more bland it is, the more it is a precursor to a volcanic eruption, Dong Zhuo's spleen surname, Li Ru is very clear.

"Moving east?" Dong Zhuo's expression was stunned, he looked at Li Ru, and asked extremely puzzled: "The Wei family is willing to give up such a big foundation in Hedong?" Impossible, right? ā€

Hedong County is almost the fief of the Wei family in the eyes of the world, as the lord of Hedong, the Wei family is willing to give up hundreds of years of foundation and move east? Don't say that Dong Zhuo doesn't believe it, and Li Ru, who said this, doesn't believe it either.

"Maybe it's possible, because in Hebei, Wei Jie and Wei Xian have a very big reputation, which has laid a good foundation for the Wei family, and in the past few years, the Zhen family and the Mi family have become more and more powerful because of the relationship between the god king, and there are even many emerging Hebei families, whose financial resources are close to the Wei family in Hedong, if the Wei family does not make changes, it is very likely to lose the name of the four major merchants of the Han Dynasty" Although Li Ru himself did not believe it, he still said it with a reasonable opinion, after all, Li Ru's biggest role is to solve Dong Zhuo's doubts.

"It's just a false name, and the Wei family takes it so seriously?" Dong Zhuo looked very puzzled, in Dong Zhuo's opinion, what four major merchants are completely farting, in the face of real rights, there is no use at all, of course, it is different if the Wei family controls the entire Hedong like this, if you want to deal with the Wei family, even if Han Ling Yanjing has to think about it.

"Of course, the four major merchants are related to the distribution of various interests of my Han every year, if there is no name of the four major merchants, the Wei family's financial resources will shrink greatly, and many minerals under their names will be recovered by the imperial court." Li Ru nodded and said to Dong Zhuo.

In the Eastern Han Dynasty, although they did not value ordinary merchants, but the real big businessmen had certain preferences, such as in terms of taxation and resource allocation, the most famous merchants would be given special care, if in the prosperous times, this benefit could not be seen to be of any use, but in the troubled times these privileges are Liu Tai can not help but look sideways, because in the troubled times, although there are many taxes and miscellaneous taxes, but they cannot be added to the real power of the gate valve, even if the gate valve does not pay taxes publicly, the court can not do anything, after all, the gate valve is privileged in the Han Dynasty.

"Even so, General Ben doesn't believe that the Wei family is willing to give up the foundation of Hedong, at most he just wants to blossom on both sides, the spleen surnames of these businessmen, General Ben understands very well." Dong Zhuo smiled disdainfully, obviously having a great prejudice against businessmen.

Dong Zhuo's meaning is obvious, the Wei family not only wants to keep the foundation of Hedong, but also wants to show their strength in Hebei, but unfortunately, will Dong Zhuo give the Wei family such a good opportunity? Dong Zhuo has coveted the Wei family's money and food for a long time, as long as the main figures of the Wei family leave, will Dong Zhuo let go of this Hedong industry? Even Dong Zhuo himself didn't believe that he would be so kind.

"In the past few years, some commercial houses of the Wei family in Bingzhou have been set up impressively, and they have earned a very large amount of money and grain for the Wei family in Hedong every year, and with the greed of the Wei family, they naturally hope to go further, but unfortunately, for some reason, the God King has not allowed the Wei family to come into contact with all kinds of mining in Hebei, and even left a mining right for the Wei family" Li Ru nodded, and sat on a soft couch under Dong Zhuo's signal.

"Maybe the God King is also afraid of the Wei family, after all, the Wei family is mainly engaged in strategic materials such as weapons and armor, if the big minerals in the north are controlled by the Wei family, then the God King is likely to be restrained by the Wei family, which is not allowed by any king." Dong Zhuo when he was calm, his mind was very clear, and his attitude towards seeing things was much higher than Li Ru, after all, Dong Zhuo had been in Liangzhou for so many years, and as the supreme superior, he understood very well what Liu Tai, who was also a superior, thought.

"Father-in-law is right, I heard that the Wei family Shuangjie in Hebei is very valued by the God King, maybe there is also this reason, the Wei family Shuangjie is a scholar and a martial artist, Wei Jie has just been named a general, Wei Xian was appointed as the commander of the army under Yan Liang in the north, and Yan Liang handles military aircraft affairs, I heard that he is very capable, if he lets another one
