Chapter 415: The World is Bustling
"Wouldn't that be better?" Wei Yuancheng showed a strange smile and said, "If he is a saint, we are really not easy to deal with, since he has a weakness, it will be easy to deal with him." β
"Big brother, I heard that Li Xin is preparing to seize the land of Bashu?" Wei Kuangbo suddenly thought of something, and said a little nervously. Wei Yuanzhao also looked at Li Xin, for them, the stronger Li Xin's strength was, the more difficult it was to deal with. If Li Xin is obsessed with women and ignores the government, that is the best. What is the place of Bashu now, it seems that various forces are intertwined, but because of this, an effective defense will not be formed. Now under Li Xin's command, those who can be called generals are talented, in addition to Li Xin, there are Li Jing and Pei Renji, both of whom are talented generals, Li Xin will send whoever to seize Bashu, Bashu will eventually fall into the hands of Li Xin.
"Yes, Li Xin said this last time in the Wude Palace, but he has not yet made a final decision, once the troops are dispatched, Li Xin is worried that Guanzhong will be empty, if Wang Shichong or Li Yuan comes, he may fight on two or even three sides, although he has enough food, but there are fewer soldiers and horses, most of them are new soldiers, and more importantly, he doesn't believe in us, and he is even more worried that we will collude with Li Yuan." Wei Yuancheng shook his head and said: "What's more, whether it is Li Jing or Pei Renji, there is naturally no problem in capturing Bashu, but after the capture, who will be sent?" Everyone in the court has one pit for each person, and it is not appropriate to send anyone, so Li Xin has not yet decided on a candidate. However, come to think of it, such a person will come out sooner or later and capture Guanzhong, if he occupies Bashu, it will be a failure, Li Xin's command is full of talents, how can no one see this matter? β
"I'm afraid this person Li Xin has already chosen." Wei Kuangbo shook his head and said: "Today, Li Xin personally went out of Chang'an, Linwei River, and greeted Xiao Yu with Princess Nanyang and Princess Yuerong. Hehe, what a calculation! Use family affection to restrain Xiao Yu. β
"Are you saying that Xiao Yu is the one who appeases Bashu?" Wei Yuanzhao said in surprise: "Then Xiao Yu is loyal, why is he seeing Li Xin like this now?" β
"Now people in the world know the current affairs as Junjie. The same is true for Xiao Yu, Sui Yang has long had no hope, if Xiao Yu doesn't take the opportunity to take refuge in Li Xin, will he go to Li Yuan, or Xiao Miao, who is far away in Jingzhou, can't he succeed? What's more, Li Xin personally went to Weihe to greet him, and also took Yang Guang's two women, if Xiao Yu has the opportunity to go up the steps at this time, will he have a chance to stand on the court in the future? Li Xinke gave him enough face, and he is also a smart person. How could this opportunity be missed? Wei Yuancheng said disdainfully.
"If Xiao Yu goes to Bashu, the possibility of success is really great, Xiao Yu is famous among Shilin, and after he also goes to Bashu, those barbarian kings and heroes will probably obey Xiao Yu's dispatch, Li Xin's vision is really good!" Wei Kuangbo nodded and said, "Big brother, what do you think of this matter?" β
"Even if we don't say it, there will definitely be people who will sue Li Yuan. In this case, it is better to sell it to Li Yuan, lest one day in the future, Li Yuan will settle accounts with us. Wei Yuancheng shook his head and said, "Say it again." Li Xin is also a smart person, he naturally knows the significance of our Guanlong family staying in Guanzhong, so there is no requirement for such a thing not to be leaked, and there is nothing to pass on to Li Yuan. As a matter of fact. We all know that as long as Li Xin is in Chang'an for a day, our Guan Long family will not be able to move. If Li Yuan really has that thought. Just find a way to transfer Li Xin out of Chang'an! β
"Even if Li Xin really leaves Chang'an, I'm afraid Li Yuan is also powerless, Liu Wuzhou has his back to the Turks, Dou Jiande has many generals, and he hooks up with the Kwantung family, Li Yuan wants to eliminate these two people, it is not an easy thing." Wei Yuanzhao shook his head and said: "This is the best, the world is in chaos, we families can be transcendent, everyone will win us over, and no one will offend us." He frowned, as if there was a person who didn't care much about the family.
"Okay, third brother, you go out to sue SΓΉ Shanmin, get together a sum of money, you don't want anything else, but Jinyan must be taken down, not too much, half of the territory of the Great Sui must be ours." Wei Yuancheng thought for a while and said.
"Hey, I just don't know, how will Li Xin be distributed by then?" Wei Yuanzhao shook his head and said: "So many things, just like flowing out, are a huge number, if you can do one of them, but in more than ten years, you will be able to enter the high gate, and the money is no worse than ours!" β
"What do you mean? Let's go together? Wei Kuangbo looked at Wei Yuancheng after listening to it.
"Then let's go together, hehe, compared to the Kanto family, we can still take a lot of advantage." Wei Yuancheng said with a smile: "In three days, unless the Kanto family comes from Luoyang immediately, they can only rush to Chang'an day and night. β
"The rest are those guys in Guanzhong, this is a mountain of gold and silver! If you want to get these things, I'm afraid everyone will have to tear their faces. Wei Yuanzhao said with some worry: "Li Xin's move is really ruthless!" Packed us into it, and then we didn't dare to do anything to him. With such a person, it is no wonder that Li Yuan is deflated under him. β
Wei Yuancheng nodded, took out a blank letter from the side, wrote a few words on it, then put it to his mouth and blew it, then handed it to Wei Yuanzhao and said: "Go, send this news to Li Yuan, let Li Yuan know that Li Xin decided to use troops against Bashu, as for how many soldiers and horses to dispatch, who is the leading general?" I don't know what the generals are with the army. β
"Then let Li Yuan guess!" Wei Yuanzhao laughed, he reached out and took it, arched his hand towards the two brothers, and walked out of the study.
And at this moment, there are many things like the Wei family, everyone is either carrying gold and silver treasures from the treasury, or calculating how much it will cost to get the things on the invitation, of course, there are more people who secretly deliver news to Li Yuan, although the Yellow River is blocked, but the Yellow River is so long, it is almost impossible to completely block the Yellow River, and it is still very easy to cross the Yellow River alone.
And Songhelou has already made preparations, the entire Chang'an City has fallen into a bustle, and the entire Guanzhong family has received Dou Yi's invitation, no matter what, no matter whether they can get a share of it, these people are here, at least they can know a few capable people and deepen the connection between each other; And in the afternoon of the third day, a group of guys riding tall horses rushed in at the gate of Chang'an City again, and some people rode in carriages, each with a pennant on the carriage, or Cui, or Zheng, or Lu, or Li, etc., the five surnames of Kanto and seven families came, and even some small and medium-sized families in Luoyang also came.
"Look, even the Kanto family is here, don't these people look down on me Li Xin? Now these people are here. On the top floor of the Songhe Tower, Li Xin led Pei Shiju and Du Ruhui and pointed to the entrance of the Songhe Tower at his feet and said.
"The world is bustling, all for profit; The world is crowded, all for profit. This has been the case since ancient times. Pei Shiju shook his head and said.
"Boss, is anyone from the Pei family coming?" Du Ruhui suddenly asked.
"There should be!" Pei Shiju said uncertainly: "The current Pei family is no longer the old man in charge, but Pei Lin is in charge, he is now the prince of Wenxi County!" He had been thinking about this title for a long time, and now he had finally taken it away. β
"That maybe, the world is undecided, who is this Wenxi County Prince, I really don't know? Boss, when the world is calm, maybe you, the county magistrate of Wenxi, won't be in sight. Li Xin said with a smile.
Du Ruhui suddenly pointed to the distance and said, "Prime Minister, look, the three brothers of the Wei family are here." I didn't expect such a thing to attract people from the Wei family, tsk, they are not noble figures! β
"Didn't the old man just say? The world is bustling, all for profit; The world is crowded, all for profit. Don't say it's the Wei family, look at it, the Zheng family, the Zheng family is also here, Zheng Shanguo is here in person, how many roads from Luoyang to Chang'an, this old bone is also here, and he is not afraid of shaking off the bones. Li Xin pointed to a carriage in the distance and said.
"Human greed is like this, Prime Minister, no matter what, it is we who will win in the end!" Pei Shiju said with a smile: "Lord Du and Master Chu have eaten a full meal this time. β
"What's more important is that the prime minister has tied these people together." Du Ruhui also said with a smile.
"No, if that's all that, it's not enough. Such a bundle of interests is nothing at all. Everyone is a hundred-year-old or thousand-year-old family, and if they want to abandon these things, they won't hurt their bones. Li Xin shook his head and said: "By the way, forget about you, we have found two relatively large gold and silver mines in the northwest, and the output is relatively large. β
"What do you mean?" Pei Shiju and Du Ruhui looked at Li Xin curiously.
"Now the currency in the market is good for the meat of the Emperor Wen period, and there are copper coins made during the time of Emperor Wu, and the meat of Emperor Wen is good, but the coins of Emperor Wu are not good." Li Xin took out a few coins from his arms, among which the five baht coins were good and bad, one of them was 'the back meat is good, all have Zhou Guo, each thousand pounds weigh four catties and two taels', which is the five baht coins minted by Emperor Wen, and the remaining five baht coins are either relatively thin, or the handwriting is not clear, and even some places have rusted.
"The most powerful weapon of the family is not the elite soldiers, but money, what do you say if we control the other party's coins first?" Li Xin said with a smile: "I prepare gold coins and silver coins to replace this inferior currency, you say, those ordinary people like to use this inferior coins?" Or do you prefer gold and silver coins? β
"Will this work?" Pei Shiju and Du Ruhui were stunned when they heard this, and there was a trace of hesitation on their faces. Not many people are familiar with this kind of economic aggression in this era, even Pei Shiju and Du Ruhui are no exception.
"Let's take a look at them first!" Li Xin did not continue, but pointed downstairs and said. Pei Shiju and Du Ruhui glanced at each other and did not continue. (To be continued......)
