Chapter 96 Re-stabbing (2nd Update)
Businessmen, although they did not appear late in history, have always played an awkward role.
Since ancient times, agriculture and commerce have been opposed, Confucianism also advocates agriculture-oriented, business-oriented, and most of the rulers who have always respected its doctrine have implemented the policy of "emphasizing the foundation and suppressing the last", encouraging the reclamation of wasteland to grow crops, but imposing heavy taxes on merchants to strictly restrict the freedom of merchants, so although merchants have a lot of money, because they are from the last stream, their status in society is not very high.
In particular, the existence and spread of various kinds such as "businessmen are profitable" and "no businessmen are not traitors", etc., are not very conducive to the improvement of the status of businessmen.
Hua hated Liu originally thought that this phenomenon would only appear in the Central Plains, but he didn't expect that even Xiyue, which was far away on the border, would have this phenomenon, so he immediately asked: "Why is this?" It seems that the people of West Vietnam do not depend on agriculture for their livelihood, right? β
"Nature won't be agriculture." Princess Yuqing responded, and said to Yang Jian and said, "Otherwise, it wouldn't have brought so much trouble to the surrounding neighbors all the time." Public opinion is here to represent millions of people in Dayue, to say sorry to my sister, I hope to be forgiven by the people of Xizhou, especially the people in the border areas with Dayue, Yuqing is grateful. β
"Sister, don't do this!" Yang Jian hurriedly supported her and said: "The two sides have hurt each other in the previous incident, and we can't heal the scars of the people with our personal efforts, only by looking forward together, giving the people confidence, and letting them know that in fact, we can get along in a more peaceful way, and the scars will naturally get better." β
"What my sister said is very true, it is rain and sunshine abruptly." After Yang Jian said this, Princess Yuqing also felt that her actions were a little difficult for a strong man.
This time the harmony will be done no matter what! She made up her mind.
"Although there are not many people in the West Yue who are engaged in farming, they are as strong as Beidi, and they are a martial nation, as long as you have the ability, you can kill and fight, even if you are a beggar along the road one moment, you can become a warrior in the noble minister's palace the next moment. The same attitude towards merchants as Dashu towards merchants is that their political status is not high - however, Xiyue still does a little better than Dashu, at least they know how to cooperate with merchants, rather than suppressing merchants outright. β
Yang Jian had also heard Niu Wangqiu tell him like this, and the parrot who was not at the moment told Hua Hate Liu as it was.
"Yes, so even if we have the support of the Blood Jade Fang, we undoubtedly have the key to the treasury, but money is not omnipotent sometimes, especially in the face of people's greed, they always want to ask for too much, at first it was a bag or two bags of gold coins, and then a cart or two carts were pulled out, and when they realized that no matter how they carried or pulled the vault, they would suddenly think, why not get the key? Not only does it save the trouble of carrying it back and forth, but you can also get more gold coins...... "Princess Yuqing sees this point particularly thoroughly, because the reason for Da Yue's current situation is caused by this "greed" theory.
"Aren't they afraid that the Blood Jade Workshop will come to burn a jade stone in the end, and no one will get good if they burn things?"
"I'm afraid, of course I'm afraid!" When Princess Yuqing said this, she couldn't hide her disappointment in her tone: "It is precisely because of fear that their attitude has changed from firmly standing on our side to neutrality, and they have chosen to lobby and disintegrate within the Blood Jade Workshop...... Besides, it is true that businessmen themselves are pursuing profits, if they don't need to work hard to keep their lives, who is stupid to sell their lives? β
"Tsk, the little girl is beautiful, but her knowledge is not low!"
Just as he was talking happily, a rude laughter suddenly drilled into his ears like a ghost, making the three people present change color.
Yang Jian shouted first: "Who is eavesdropping!" As he spoke, he touched the place where the sword was hanging on his waist, but unexpectedly he grabbed it. Yang Jian was still with him when he was on the road today, but because Hua hated Liu Yue to meet, he thought that it was useless to bring a sword, so he took it down and put it in his room. At this time, the change suddenly occurred, and she was so annoyed in her heart!
Hua Hate Liu lifted the quilt at this time and wanted to get out of bed to protect Princess Yuqing behind her, but unexpectedly, as soon as the quilt was lifted, Princess Yuqing covered her eyes and ran behind Yang Jian to hide. This made Hua Hate Liu feel angry in his heart: I really don't have an exhibitionist!
"What are you rushing forward for? Go back to him! Yang Jian glared at Princess Yuqing behind him, and waved Princess Yuqing back in front of Hua Hate Liu with one hand.
"Huh? Are you wearing clothes? It was only at this time that Princess Yuqing cautiously opened her eyes and found Hua Hyaliu standing in front of her with an embarrassed face - the most important thing is that although he is only wearing underwear and underwear, he is really wearing clothes! This made her feel a lot more relieved.
"Stand behind me!" Hua hated Liu but didn't have time to take care of it so much, especially when he noticed that Princess Yuqing had stayed in his crotch for a while, and he was even more unhappy in his heart, so he pulled his cold little hand and put Huazi behind him.
"I don't know which force sent it? Do you want to kill someone or just want to hear us talk? "Hua Hates Liu is much more straightforward, no matter who the name is, since the other party still has to show up without discovering the other party before, then it is not here to humiliate people or to kill people, where is it so verbose.
"Oh? You know I'm coming to kill someone? The man was surprised when he heard Hua Hate Liu say this, usually when he encountered this situation, even if he had guessed that he was going to kill someone, the other party would never take the initiative to talk about it, because taking the initiative to say killing means that he was hinting at "come and kill me" and "kill to complete the task", etc., unless he wants to die faster, he will definitely try his best to delay time and wait for others to find out the abnormality to save people.
However, today is not waiting. Just now, he personally slept with the people in the wing room of this mansion one by oneβthe reason why he didn't choose to kill them was because the task he received only required to kill one person, and he insisted that since it was a mission, it needed to be done according to what was written in the mission.
"Of course I do." Hua hated Liu Dao, motioned for Yang Jian to retreat to his side, and he continued: "But I don't know who you want to kill? β
When he asked this, he didn't get the answer he expected, and the other party seemed to be silent. The long period of calm made the flower hateful willow become more and more uneasy.
"Hey, ask you, ...... are you going to kill?"
"Yes, I'm here to kill someone, but I don't want to tell you. You might as well guess, I'll give you a chance, and if you guess right, I won't kill you. How is it? β
Although he still didn't see the other party's figure, Hua Hate Liu clearly felt that this person was called just now, and he was closer to a few people.
"It's getting closer again." Yang Jian didn't seem to hear the man's words, and whispered to Hua Hate Liu Dao.
"Hmm." Hua Hate Liu nodded, but he couldn't ignore the other party like Yang Jian, so he had to say: "How do I know if your words count, if your words don't count......"
"I advise you not to play trick......s," the man's tone suddenly became stern, as if he was dissatisfied with Hua Hate Liu's way of testing himself, but this harshness was just a sentence, and after saying this, he smiled again: "What does it make if I talk and count?" You see, since I've been here for so long, no one has noticed me, at least it means that my realm is a little higher than your group, right? That is to say, now that your lives are all in my hands, if I am happy, I may not kill anyone, I am not happy, maybe there is not a living person within a radius of ten miles-this, it all depends on the mood. β
After speaking, he paused and said: "So I advise you to take the initiative to cooperate, don't think about whether my words count or not, just find a way to make me feel better!" β
"The realm is more than a little higher, and it is estimated that it is not inferior to my father." Yang Jian's tone became more and more solemn, Hua Hate Liu naturally would not be stupid enough to think that the realm of Yang Wu that Yang Jian was talking about at this time was the Yang Wu after being blocked by the eight veins of the Qi Jing, if he really thought so, I am afraid that Tian would not be afraid to come over and scold him for two words of "waste".
"The little girl is pretty accurate!" As soon as these words came out, Hua Hate Liu's scalp couldn't help but tingle, but in fact, he was the only one who reacted more violently, Yang Jian shook his hands without a trace, but Princess Yuqing screamed in fright directly.
"What the hell!"
As he spoke, he flew behind Hua Hate Willow and ran in front of Hua Hate Liu - there was no him, but at this time, the person was already reclining on the bed where Hua Hate Liu was lying before, and he was behind several people in the last moment.
"I'm not a ghost." The man chuckled and pointed to the hideous mask on his face and said: "Look at this mask, it is a character in the opera, but it is smaller than those, mainly because I am afraid that I will be recognized by acquaintances when I usually kill people, and it will be embarrassing for both sides to start when the time comes." β
He only said that he was worried that acquaintances would recognize him, and the two parties would be embarrassed, but he didn't mention that if he was recognized, he would be hunted down, didn't he think about this problem? Naturally not, it's just that he is confident enough that he can get out of the way after killing the person who should be killed, and he won't let the people who are still alive know his identity.
He's not crazy, it's just a habit - the habit of doing things neatly and without dragging his feet.
"How? Guess what, there are only three of you, and there is a good chance that you will be right. Seeing that Hua hated Liu still didn't answer, he said again: "Otherwise, my mission this time is indeed to kill a person, in order to prevent no way to explain after going back, if you guess correctly, I think I am unlucky and no one will kill, if you guess wrong, I will also be allowed to charge an interest, in addition to the person who was originally going to kill, who do you guess I will kill one more person?" β
"This is ...... from what you just said."
"It's different, isn't it?" Ignoring Princess Yuqing's protests, he said: "I said before, this kind of thing depends on my mood, I was happy when I started talking about it just now, but now I have been questioned continuously, so I am unhappy, and my mind has changed after I am unhappy...... Don't say it, after your protest like this, my mood has deteriorated a lot, so ...... I changed my mind again. β
"You...... What did you change your mind to? Although Princess Yuqing was scared, she still asked curiously.
"Hey...... I've decided that whether you guess right or wrong, I'm going to ...... you all three Kill ......"
