Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.

Yuelai Inn, in the 3o8 suite, Bai Kende and Wei Ji are leisurely drinking tea and chatting.

Bai Kende and Wei Ji are different from ordinary businessmen, the two have a deep background, one represents the Wu family, and the other represents the Guo family, both of whom have the background of Jiangmen and the military.

Wei Ji was a member of the Guo family and came to the SAR to run a business on behalf of the Guo family.

It is said that Guo Hao and Wu Jue's younger brother Wu Lan and Yang Zheng are equally famous, known as the "three major generals in Shu", and they were once famous. After the Guo family was silent for some years, in the past ten years, the limelight has been chasing the Wu family, following Guo Di as the pivotal deputy commander of the palace, Guo Di returned to his hometown, Guo Gao took over as his brother, and succeeded as the deputy commander of the palace.

With the support of his father in important positions, and the Great Song Dynasty's policy of grace and shade, over the years, Guo Hao's grandchildren Guo Ni, Guo Zuo, and Guo Xi have gradually held military positions in the military circles, so the limelight of the Guo family can even be said to be not weaker than that of the Wu family at all.

Wei Ji is the representative of the Guo family, and the Wu family represented by Bai Kende is even more promising.

When it comes to the Wu family, we must talk about the famous anti-gold general Wu Jue, when Wu Jue resisted the invasion of Jin soldiers in the area of Sichuan and Shaanxi, broke the Jin soldiers in Xianren Pass and Monk Yuan, and made immortal achievements, and his younger brother Wu Ling was not far behind. Now Wu Ting, the son of Wu Lan, leads the main force of the Song army in Sichuan, and the military and political power is concentrated. Of course, Zhao Tuan didn't see the wrong person, Wu Ting was loyal, and specially sent his second son Wu Xi to Lin'an, this move is actually equivalent to sending his son to the court as a hostage, so that the Song Dynasty officials can rest assured.

It is said that Wu Xi is still very talented, in terms of official position, Wu Xi has been promoted all the way from the fifty-second order of Chengfeng Lang to the twenty-seventh order of martial arts doctors, if this is still out of filial piety's special care for the descendants of meritorious heroes, then, Wu Xi is exquisite in the Lin'an government and the opposition, it can only be said that Wu Xi's talent is indeed extraordinary. Of course, Wu Xi's wealth and extravagance are also a major reason for his unpopularity. The Wu family has been operating in Shaanxi and Sichuan for many years, and is faintly a prince, and the Wu family has accumulated strong family assets since Wu Jue, through the years of operation by Wu Ling, Wu Ting and others. They relied on the emperor to give them land, and the other relied on buying land to occupy the land, and there were countless fields under their names, and the Wu family could make huge profits all year round by collecting rent.

Wu Xi is in Lin'an, and he has a wide range of travel, among which the key ones are Han Yanxuan. The relationship between Chong Han Yanxuan and Empress Dowager Wu is enough to be included in Wu Xi's key public relations. has come and gone, and Han Yanxuan has made many livelihoods, including the shadow of Wu Family Capital, so the relationship between Wu Xi and Han Yanxuan can be described as very iron.

Wu Xi's ability to pull the relationship is not only that, Guo Hao was suppressed by Wu Jue in the past, and he had a grudge with Wu Jue, once upon a time, the Guo family and the Wu family almost cut off contact, but Wu Xi After some public relations, he actually got together with Guo Ni, Guo Zhuo, and Guo Xu Brothers, I have to say that this is really not something that ordinary people can do.

Since then, the Wu family and the Guo family have also come together in business, especially in the military business, and the two sides rely on each other, or collude with each other, which is like a fish in water. At the beginning of the Nandu, the military sold wine and salt, which was equivalent to collecting taxes on behalf of the imperial court, and later the imperial court restrained, and the military was greatly restricted in doing business, but the restriction is not equal to eradication, and there is still the so-called "operation to support the army", which means that the military still has to do business to subsidize military expenditures. As for the cases of Jiangmen fishing in troubled waters and smuggling for profit in the military's business, there are naturally countless cases.

In addition to joining forces to do business and make money, the two have not been idle in politics.

At the beginning of the year, the Wu family and the Guo family also wanted to send their children to participate in Zhao Lu's team to capture Taiwan, but Xiaozong didn't want the children of the two heroes to share the credit of Zhao Luan, and Zhao Lu didn't want his light to be covered by the light of Wu Guo's two victorious generals, so it was a pity that neither Wu and Guo families mixed into Zhao Lu's team in the end.

However, the Wu family and the Guo family then quickly entered the Special Administrative Region in a commercial way, just as their ancestors were good at grasping fleeting fighters on the battlefield, they also have unparalleled quick reaction capabilities, but they have changed the battlefield and replaced it with a commercial battlefield.

The two families have a highly sensitive sense of smell, and as the production of the Special Zone began to start, the two could not wait to join the ranks of sharing the cake. And Bai Kende and Wei Ji are the business representatives sent by the Wu and Guo families, they came to Kaohsiung, relying on their strong resource advantages, they can be said to be the leader in the business war in the Special Economic Zone, and the two families then won a large number of sought-after commodity indicators, and they made far more money than other merchants.

For example, relying on the relationship between Han Yanxuan and the background of the military, they got a dazzling cement index, a considerable part of which was originally supplied to the military, but in fact, it would be good to be able to use one-third of it to really build a city for the military, and most of the military cement was turned into a profit for the Wu family and the Guo family. Even, as soon as the shipload of cement changed hands by them, it was smuggled to the gold country. And the copper of Dali and the iron of Xuzhou, and even the iron of Jinguo, passed through their hands and came to Kaohsiung by sea.

Bai Kende and Wei Ji had a very good time in Kaohsiung, and Bai Kende had already booked a set of 10,000 yuan of five-star special compound and a 9oo house. On Wei Ji's side, Wei Ji followed the instructions of the Guo family and acted in a low-key manner, just ordering three houses of 9oo guan and a house of 500 guan.

At this moment, Bai Wei and the others were drinking tea while chatting about the news of the Special Economic Zone in the past two days.

On the coffee table in front of him was the latest "Special Administrative Region News", which was the latest edition of the newspaper printed in a lead version. The most exciting news in today's newspaper is that the yield of sweet potatoes per mu is more than 3,000 catties, and the newspaper claims that there is a miraculous sweet potato, and there will be no famine in the Great Song Dynasty since then.

Both felt that the report was a bit exaggerated.

"Brother Bai, this report is very exaggerated, no one has ever seen sweet potatoes double cropping a year, it's not reliable! I asked Su Shidan, it is true that the yield per mu is more than 1,500 catties, but this is a model sweet potato field personally guided by Guogong, and it can't run away from vigorous composting, and ordinary people planting sweet potatoes will never be so composted. According to the following estimates, if you really let the people plant, you will die with a thousand catties of sweet potatoes per mu. ”

Wei Ji had a fashionable tone, the Su Shidan he said in his mouth was Han Yanxuan's right-hand man, Wei Ji thought that the news from Su Shidan's mouth should be quite authoritative.

"Hehe, Brother Wei, as far as I know, this sweet potato can really be cooked twice a year, this is what Mr. Chen Ziqiang personally said, it is said that Mao Te personally determined that there will be no mistake."

Chen Ziqiang, who was raised by Bai Kende, was Han Yanxuan's enlightenment teacher, and Chen Ziqiang is now in Kaohsiung. Chen Ziqiang's words are obviously more authoritative than Su Shidan.

"In that case, in a year, it can also produce 2,000 catties of sweet potatoes, if so, it is indeed the blessing of my Great Song Dynasty."

Wei Ji admitted that the relationship with Han Yanxuan is still a little more iron-clad with the Wu family, but he also has advantages on his side, and some of the generals here are selected from the front division of the palace, Guo Xixian and Zhou Xun have to look at the face of the Guo family.

"Brother Bai, I don't know if you've heard of it, the cannon that is being trial-produced, the power is amazing, the cannon is one, a dozen large pieces, this cannon is said to be very secretive, and I drank with a friend in the army yesterday, so I heard him say casually."

"Hehe, I happened to hear about it in Xia, and I heard that in a few days, a new cannon will be built, and it is said that after it is built, it will be sent to Lin'an."

Depend on! You know that too! Wei Ji said a few words in his heart, damn! The Wu family didn't know how much benefit they had given Han Yanxuan, and they even dared to casually leak a secret like a cannon to this surnamed Bai!

"Brother Bai is really well-informed!"

"If you want to say that you are well-informed, Brother Wei is better, the last time Taipei built the city to reduce the height of the city wall, it was Brother Wei who grasped the news in time, hehe, we took the opportunity to take a lot of more cement indicators, haha!"

Bai Kende did not forget to compliment Wei Ji to bring the two closer. As for the construction of the city in Taipei to reduce the height of the city wall, it was naturally because of the successful test firing of the cannon, with the cannon, Zhao Lian felt that the city wall no longer needed to be built so high, so he made a decision to reduce the height of the city wall. However, the saved cement immediately became an indicator and was given to the Wu family and the Guo family by Han Yanxuan.

"Thanks to Brother Bai's praise, I don't dare to be it! It's just that those cement are cheaper than the golden dogs. ”

Bai Kende Tong Guò Han Yanxuan got the index, as soon as Wei Ji changed hands, he sold the index to the Jin people at a high price, of course, on behalf of the Jin people was the Goryeo businessman Jin Zheyong, Jin Zheyong also lived in the Yuelai Inn for a long time, Bai Wei and Wei both knew his true identity very well. After Kim Cheol-yong's merchant ships were loaded, they initially sailed to Goryeo, but their final destination was Shandong.

"Brother Wei, please be careful! Those cement indicators were just transferred to the Goryeo surname Kim, and it has nothing to do with any golden dog. ”

The two of them had a golden dog in their mouths, and they looked down on the Jin people, so they turned their backs and did the same business with the Jin people.

"Brother Bai reminded me."

Although it is almost an open secret that the military and the Jin people carry out smuggling and trading, the Wu family and the Guo family do not want people to catch the handle, Wei Ji often can't control his mouth, and his heart is okay to talk to Bai Kende here, if he leaks his mouth outside, it will be bad.

Wei Ji took a sip of tea, hesitated, and broke out a new news:

"Brother Bai, I heard that after the cannon is built, the imperial court will send generals to train the troops, maybe this time tens of thousands of soldiers and horses will be stationed, pondering below, as if this is an opportunity, it looks like it is tailor-made for the sons of you and me, Brother Bai, you say, is it right or not?"

Bai Kende actually heard the news, and Bai Kende said in his heart, if this continues, Zhao Lian may really be able to replace the crown prince, and the current saint may really pass the throne directly to Zhao Lian.

"Well, it's still Brother Wei who has insight! Now the prestige of the national prince is growing day by day, and now it has not only created cannons, but also planted high-yield sweet potatoes, and the limelight is unrivaled for a while! If you follow Guogong, you will have a day to come out in the future. ”

Bai Kende sighed in his heart, but unfortunately his son-in-law Wu Xi has little chance of leading troops in Taiwan, and his son-in-law Wu Xi is faintly a hostage sent by the Wu family to Lin'an, and there are not a few people in the court who are jealous of the Wu family, but I am afraid that they may not be willing to let other children of the Wu family serve as such an important messenger, but the children of the Guo family are more likely to be selected.

"Brother Wei, the children of the Guo family are all heroes, depending on the following, it is more than enough for the Guo family to come here to lead the troops, and I will repair the book in the next place, and ask my son-in-law to help the Guo family."

Of course, the Guo family will not necessarily be selected, and this time I don't know who will be cheaper. However, the Wu family can't help but say that they are willing to be Olympic aid.

"Brother Bai, in fact, there is actually good news --- that I heard that a grade of copper ore is to be mined, and it is said that it will be like gunpowder quarrying here in the Special Economic Zone, and the rock must be blasted with gunpowder to get copper ore. It is also said that such mining requires well-trained soldiers to be competent. Thinking about it, this may be an opportunity for the Wu family, if the Wu family is interested, the Guo family will naturally help. ”

Wei Ji's news came from the Duzuo Academy.

Bai Kende responded to Wei Ji with a smiling expression, and said in his heart, what kind of opportunity is this!
