Chapter 159: Big Business
When Wang Zifu left, Wei Tao brought Zhou Yu and Xun You to discuss the matter.
"If today's son has already issued the edict of the king of Qin, and I can't make it with the state, I am afraid that the son of heaven will be evil."
Although Wei Tao said this, there was no look on his face, and he obviously didn't care much about this matter.
"The former powerful man was so powerful that he ......"
Zhou Yu's expression did not change, but Xun You sighed a little, but the sigh returned to the sigh, Xun You still planned for Wei Tao.
"My lord, judging from the situation in the world, there are only a few people who can drive the king now, but Yuan Shao, Cao Cao and the lord. If there is no Xiongnu Nankou, the lord will naturally be the one who will not give in, but after this incident, the strength of our state has declined to the extreme, and it is naturally impossible to act. ”
"As for Yuan Shao's former tiger prison, he was considerable, scheming and indecisive, forgetting his righteousness when he saw small profits, and now he is saving the car, his merits have not been revealed, and he will move his troops and horses first, and I am afraid that Yuan Shao will not make a decision."
At this time, Zhou Yu also opened his mouth and continued.
"Seeing it like this, there is only Cao Cao. Cao Cao has always boasted of being a loyal minister of the Han Dynasty, with enough soldiers and food, and now he has no worries, and it is very likely that he will see the army again, as before. ”
"What Gongjin and Gongda said is just like what I think."
Wei Tao breathed a long sigh of relief, not only in history, but more importantly, now Yuan Shao has to take into account the threat of the Montenegrin Army at least, and he is not like the general commander of Jizhou in history.
However, Cao Cao's current situation is much better than history, and the elite soldiers under his command are enough to enter Chang'an to serve the king.
"That's right. Shall I sit back and wait? ”
Although Wei Tao also found the two of them, he didn't have much hope, and after taking a deep breath, he said.
"No, if that's the case, I'm afraid the lord will really be looked down upon by the world."
What Wei Tao didn't expect was that Zhou Yu and Xun You were unanimously opposed.
"So what?"
"Although the lord can't send troops, he can send envoys to him, first, to show the lord's wishes, and secondly, the lord's new victory over the Huns, is to repay the Son of Heaven."
Zhou Yu smiled slightly. Just open your mouth and speak.
"Besides, be diligent in the king's business. You still need to enter Chang'an first, and now Chang'an is controlled by Li Xun and others, even if there are important ministers of the court to help, it is not easy to enter. And the lord can do this. Even if the Son of Heaven was placed under house arrest by Li Xun and others. It is also visible to the lord. In this way, the inside and the outside should be combined, and there is no need to use the knife to make great achievements. ”
Zhou Yu is worthy of being Zhou Yu, in a word. It is already a report for it, and Wei Tao is also happy to hear it.
"Sure enough, it's Gong Jin. I don't know who Lu Dao Gongjin can do? Who's right? ”
"This ......"
Zhou Yu frowned slightly, and after thinking about it, he still spoke.
"I'm afraid it's not appropriate, although Mr. Gongyou has a good reputation in Xuzhou, but he is nothing in Chang'an, and I'm afraid this matter needs to be Gongda."
"I'm not right either."
When Wei Tao looked over, Xun You also shook his head slightly, and said very directly.
"The lord also knows, although I also used to be a waiter in the Yellow Gate, but his official position is low, and now he has been promoted by the lord and can be appointed to a position in the state, but in Chang'an, he still belongs to the nameless generation, and I am afraid that he will not be valued by the princes of the imperial court."
"What can I do about it? Can't I go there myself, right? ”
Wei Tao could only smile helplessly, but after all, Wei Tao still looked at Xun You, he had already found that Xun You had a faint smile when he spoke, and I am afraid that there was still a plan in his heart.
"Huh...... The lord, there is indeed a great sage to recommend the lord. ”
When Xun You saw Wei Tao looking at him not moving, he also understood in his heart, and immediately smiled slightly and bowed his hand to Wei Tao.
"I wonder if the Lord of the Dao can hear the saying of 'one dragon'?"
"A dragon, it seems to be somewhat familiar."
Wei Tao frowned slightly, in Wei Tao's impression, it seemed to be the title of several famous people.
"What Gongda said is that the dragon head Huaxin, the dragon's belly is Bingyuan, and the dragon's tail is Ninghu?"
However, Zhou Yu thought about it all of a sudden, and said it in surprise.
"Could it be that Gongda wants to recommend them? However, I heard that the dragon's belly was in the plain, and the dragon's tail Guan Ning was a person with lofty ambitions, and he resigned several times, and there were even rumors that they were already living in seclusion in the mountains and forests. However, Na Huaxin, although he is the leader, is not as good as his friends, and even Na Guan would rather cut off his friendship with him. Is this the only person recommended by Gongda? ”
"Zhenghua subfish."
Xun You nodded, and then explained to Zhou Yu.
Hua Xin may not be as noble as Guan Ning and the others, but he has not heard of his greed, nor has he done anything else unbearable. He governed things and appeased the people, but what he did compared to Guan Ning and the others? It's just a waste of talent and fame and no governance, but if compared with Hua Xin, I think Hua Xin is more respected. ”
"Well, what Gongda said is also reasonable."
Zhou Yu is elegant, but he understands Xun You's meaning, maybe Hua Xin is more important to fame and fortune, but in fact, he is still a clean person.
Such a talented and virtuous person, in this era, is indeed more beneficial to the common people than a person like Guan Ning who only pays attention to morality.
"I don't know if this Hua Xin can be in the state?"
Wei Tao probably remembered who this Hua Xin was at this time, and hurriedly asked.
"Lord Qi, Hua Xin is in charge of Shang Shulang at this time. However, now that the imperial court is in the hands of Li Xuan, I am afraid that it is even more difficult to reach his ambitions, so he must ask for his life to enter Chang'an to help the lord. ”
Xun Yu said as soon as he arched his hand.
"In addition, if the lord believes that he can write a letter to order him to act as a full agent of the court, I believe that he will live up to the expectations of the lord!"
"Since you have said that, why not? This time, you are taking my own letter to meet him. In addition, since this time it is a good news, then the armor and weapons of the Qiang Canal will be sent to show sincerity. ”
Wei Tao nodded, with Xun You's personality, he must be completely sure that he would ask for his life like this, and Wei Tao had no reason not to believe it, and immediately said.
"If there is this, whether the lord is here or not, His Majesty should know the sincerity of the lord!"
Seeing that Wei Tao trusted him so much as always, Xun You was also grateful in his heart, and he said it as soon as he gave it up.
"You must live up to the expectations of the lord."
Since this matter has been handed over to Xun Yu to take care of, Wei Tao naturally no longer asks too much.
Strictly speaking, there are indeed a lot of big and small things in the state now, but there are not many things that are really important enough for Wei Tao to personally ask, which makes Wei Tao a little more idle.
"General, my brother is here, I don't know if I can see ...... Dao"
However, what Wei Tao didn't expect was that as soon as he was ready to be free, he heard Mi Zhen come to ask for a meeting.
In fact, the matter between Wei Tao and Mi Zhen can be said to have been decided, if it is not to follow Wei Tao to Dehe Prefecture as Mi Zhen, if the marriage contract is not good, then Mi Zhen's reputation will be completely destroyed immediately.
Of course, Wei Tao didn't have the heart to do this, and he had already told Mi Zhen through the mouths of Cai Yan and others on weekdays that when was the best time to officially get started.
Of course, in this way, Mi Zhen is often joked about by Cai Yan and other women, but the details are not enough for outsiders.
So although Mi Zhen had a little shyness on her face, Mi Zhen still opened her mouth to Wei Tao.
"Brother didn't say much about specific things, but generally speaking, only brothers who are serious will be like this."
Wei Tao nodded, he naturally wanted to see Mi Zhu.
However, when Wei Tao invited people to the main hall, he found that not only Mi Zhu, but also Chen Deng had arrived.
I can't talk about how familiar Chen Deng Wei Tao is, he has only met a few times, but Wei Tao knows that the Chen family advocates the foundation in Xuzhou, and it is extremely difficult to win over.
"It turns out that Yuanlong is also here. Mr. Zizhong, the relationship between you and me is needless to say, even if you don't come, I will invite you later. But it seems that Zizhong is here for something important this time? ”
Wei Tao didn't go around the bush, and asked very directly.
"This arrival is indeed an important matter, my lord knows that there are many horses in the state, and I heard that the lord has won a great victory over the Huns, and countless horses have been captured, and now I am waiting to come, but I hope to be able to buy and state war horses to form cavalry."
Mi Zhu obviously came first and then privately, and replied directly, without concealing it at all.
"As for the price of war horses, if adults can supply them in large quantities, then they can be fifty percent more than the market price."
"Fifty percent more?"
Wei Tao was also surprised, this is a big deal, this more than 50% means that it is as much as 1.5 times the market price.
It is important to know that the war horses of the Lu Dao are different from other materials, especially when the world is gradually chaotic, but they are in great demand, and the real good horses have always been restricted from being purchased, and it will not be that any of the princes of the party will easily trade horses.
But even so, horses are still valuable, even if it only takes a certain amount of time to buy in large quantities, why spend such a big price, surprised, Wei Tao turned his head to look at Chen Deng.
"My lord, rest assured, this price is ordered by Master Kong. Please also see that the relationship between Xuzhou and the state has always been good, and I have been rescued by adults in Xuzhou. ”
Chen Deng naturally understood why Wei Tao was looking at him, and immediately explained with a smile.
"And I don't have to hide this matter, my lord is for Chang'an."
Wei Tao only understood why Kong Ronghui, who had never attached great importance to military affairs, suddenly purchased a large amount of war horses.
Even if Kong Rong is no longer familiar with military affairs, he also knows the strength of the cavalry.
If Kong Rong formed a cavalry, who would lead it?
Wei Tao's heart moved slightly, and he found that this business seemed to be indeed doable.
Of course, although there was some movement in his heart, there was a silence on his face for a long time before he asked.
"I don't know how many war horses Xuzhou wants to buy?" (To be continued......)
