Chapter 366: Mao Sui recommended himself
"See Huang Zu?" Hu Ren's body shook when he heard this, and he almost fell to the ground with a limp.
It's no wonder that Hu Ren made a fuss, Yuan Shang, as Liu Bei's big opponent, traveled all the way from Hebei to Jiangxia, although he was fully prepared for safety, but if he really had to swish to find Huang Zu, although Huang Zu didn't know him, he was not afraid of 10,000 in everything, just in case! If Yuan Shang's identity is really leaked, then everything will really be over!
Besides, the Taishou of Jiangxia City, the head of a county, is the current identity of Yuan Shang's businessman, so he will see it when he sees it? If this is the case, I am afraid that all the businessmen in the world can get ahead, won't this world be chaotic?
Swallowing softly, Hu Ren tried not to make a frantic expression, and tentatively asked Yuan Shang in a low voice, "Lord, are you joking with your subordinates?" ”
Yuan Shang rolled his eyes, and replied disdainfully: "How fresh, I came from Hebei for thousands of miles, thousands of mountains and rivers, just to joke with you?" ”
Hu Ren grinned when he heard this, and secretly said that it was really better to joke.
"Lord, it's not that your subordinates deliberately shirked, your subordinates are your captains in Hebei, and in Jiangxia they are actually a dockyard businessman, although there are rich people, but when it comes to identity, it is far less than a poor white and poor scholar, Huang Zu is Jiangxia's Taishou, and the power is leaning towards one side, you let your subordinates give you a line to see him....... I'm afraid that my subordinates' worship posts have just been sent to Huang Zu's mansion, and I have to let people coax them out for me, this matter is not reliable."
Yuan Shang shook his head and said with a smile: "If it were in normal times, with my current status as a businessman, I am afraid that I would not be able to get along with Huang Zu, and he would not look at me squarely when walking on the street, but now it is different, Jiangxia has just been catastrophic, and it is necessary for people like me to recommend themselves to Huang Zu Maosu." You can find a way to contact Huang Zu's close attendants. Let the other party find a way to follow the line, and everything will naturally fall into place. ”
Hu Ren smashed his mouth carefully, not understanding what Yuan Shang meant.
"Forgive my subordinates for being stupid and not understanding the meaning of the lord, I hope that the lord can explain a thing or two to his subordinates....... find a way to contact Huang Zu's close attendants...... What exactly should be used? ”
Yuan Shang raised his eyebrows: "The solution is to let you take a basket and buckle his head, and then greet him with a big iron rod and force him to introduce us." ”
Hu Ren was a little surprised: "The big iron rod greets....... so what if the other party doesn't agree?" ”
"If you don't agree, continue to cut until the other party agrees."
Hu Ren frowned and nodded, pondering carefully for a while. Then he arched his hand and said: "Lord, this recipe is too violent, I'm afraid there is something wrong." ”
Yuan Shang sighed and said, "Of course it's not appropriate, fortunately you can still see this, otherwise I really have to consider removing you, the leading spy of Jiangxia, and replacing it with a reliable person." ”
Hu Ren's mouth was grinning, and his expression was very resentful: "Lord, you have nothing to do to regulate me." ”
Yuan Shang said seriously: "It's not okay if you don't recuperate, it's very dangerous to work behind enemy lines." The slightest mistake is the end of death without a place to bury, I have to test your IQ well, in case you are an idiot, it doesn't matter if you die. It would be a great crime to delay the progress of Jiangxia's work of seeking retribution. ”
"Lord, what should I do?" Hu Ren's status is not high, and he has little contact with Yuan Shang. I lived in Jiangxia for a few years, obviously not very suitable for Yuan Shang's way of speaking and doing things.
Yuan Shang sighed helplessly, and said seriously: "The method is very simple. Make money, I heard that Huang Zu is jealous, cautious, and old and faint, for the sake of goods, encroaching on the people, and the people are quite resentful. Such a person is generally not too generous and considerate to his subordinates, and the master is not generous to his subordinates, and he will generally develop the habit of being greedy for ink among his subordinates. ”
Hu Ren was stunned when he heard this, and said: "It's just that even if the money is opened up, in what name do you go to see Huang Zu?" Everything has to have a name. ”
Yuan Shang smiled indifferently and said: "Back then, when Liu Bei was in Zhuo County, there was a Zhongshan businessman Zhang Shiping, and Su Shuang supplied him with horses, and he was deeply respected by Liu Bei. When Cao Cao raised troops in Chen Liu, he also got the help of the wealthy filial piety and Wei Hong, and after the success, he supported the Wei family, so although the status of the merchant was lower, sometimes it was also the arm that the fallen princes had to rely on. ”
Hu Ren blinked: "What does the lord mean, Huang Zu is in trouble now?" ”
Yuan Shang smiled slightly, and said: "Gan Ning betrayed and robbed him of a lot of grain and grass equipment, and the soldiers and horses under the command of the four generals of Jiangxia were completely destroyed in another water war. ”
Hu Ren suddenly heard this: "My subordinates understand." ”
**************************
Jiangxia, Huangzu's mansion.
Huang Zu sat in his study, pouring wine into his mouth one by one, his eyes were red, obviously he had drunk a lot. Not to mention the smell of alcohol, he staggered and looked drunk
He was originally using alcohol to kill his sorrows, but the problem was that the more he drank, the more worried he became.
There is no way, people who are careful are cautious at all times, and it is the same when they are awake or when they drink too much.
"Taishou ......" a low greeting sounded in Huang Zu's ears, Huang Zu looked up with red eyes, but it was Li Song, a staff officer under his command, who was quite famous in Jiangxia and had some resourcefulness, so Huang Zu relied on him as a wall helper.
Huang Zu saw that it was him, and he didn't see outside, so he beckoned casually and said, "It's you, come in." ”
"No." After Li Song got the order, he walked into Huang Zu's study with a humble demeanor, glanced at the mess of cups and plates on Huang Zu's table, and persuaded: "Taishou, you have drunk too much, you can't do this anymore." ”
"You care about me!"
Huang Zu raised his head again, and sighed helplessly: "Ben Taishou doesn't want to drink so much, but as soon as he is idle, he thinks about the baggage and warships that were robbed by Gan Ning, as well as the thousands of soldiers and horses that were lost by Zhang Kai and Wu Mao. It's good now, let Gan Ning's bastard get it for me! There is no such calamity for people...... Ben Taishou, I'm distressed! ”
Li Song sighed and said, "In that case, why don't you send someone to Xiangyang and ask Liu Jingzhou for soldiers and horses?" Revenge again! ”
Huang Zu shook his head and said, "You haven't tried it for me?" It's just that now my brother Liu is sick and bedridden. It's hard to be a director, all the big and small things in Jingzhou are in the hands of Liu Bei alone, I don't have much friendship with Liu Bei, he is willing to fund the soldiers, horses, money and food with me? Now that Jiangxia has undergone this great change, it is difficult to recover its strength in a short period of time, and Gan Ning's strength is getting stronger and stronger...... Alas~~~"
Huang Zu complained bitterly, and the more he talked, the more sad he became. In desperation, I had to raise my head and drink another glass of wine.
But when Li Song heard this, his eyes lit up, and he said: "Taishou, since Xiangyang can't count on it, why don't we solve it ourselves and find a way to get through the difficulties in front of us?" ”
Huang Zu snorted heavily: "It's easy for you to say. Difficulties, lack of money and food, you can make up for it in two sentences? It's ridiculous! ”
Li Song listened to Huang Zu scolding him. didn't care, smiled slightly, and said: "Li came here today to share worries for Taishou." ”
Huang Zu did not speak. Just a sip of wine.
Li Song saw that Huang Zu ignored him, and he was not embarrassed, so he smiled and said, "Taishou, at the end of last month." We Jiangxia came from a large merchant from other places, who is from Wenyang County, Lu County, Xuzhou, surnamed Yuan. Cheap name said three, its people have been doing business for generations, living in Lu for a long time, engaged in the grain road to Huainan, horses, woodware, luck, quite a family, in recent years in the middle of the earth is not peaceful, this Yuan San will open up the business road from Huainan to the land of Nanjun, now stationed in Jiangxia, I heard that Taishou is a hero among the people, ambitious, he wants to borrow the name of Fengzi, in our Jiangxia mixed a small power position, off the business status, I don't know how to be too shouyi? ”
When Huang Zu heard this, he snorted heavily, and said dissatisfiedly while sipping the wine: "Merchants are cheap, it's best to be opportunistic and slippery, this Taishou doesn't look down on them on weekdays!" ”
Li Song nodded hurriedly when he heard this: "Yes, yes, what Taishou said is that Li Song is not good to be with such lowly people on weekdays, but our Jiangxia is not an extraordinary time, and there are some things that can no longer be stuck together." ”
When Huang Zu heard this, he thought about it and asked casually: "Then Yuan San wants to find his background here in Ben Taishou, but making money is the only way, let's say, how much does he promise me?" ”
Li Song grinned and hurriedly reported: "Three hundred war horses, two thousand stones of grain, three hundred thousand dollars, ten thousand gold, one thousand brocades, and five hundred catties of pig iron!" ”
"Poof~~!" Huang Zu didn't hold back a sip of wine, and sprayed it directly on Li Song's face.
"You... What did you say! ”
Li Song wiped the wine on his face embarrassedly, and said helplessly: "Xie Taishou gives wine ......"
"You're welcome! Let me ask you, what you just said was all promised by Yuan San himself? ”
Li Song nodded hurriedly and said: "Naturally, it was all promised by him personally, how dare I deceive Taishou at will!" Then Yuan San wants to get out of business and seek a good background, so naturally he has to make some big moves! ”
Huang Zu nodded abruptly and said, "It's quite a family... There are still such rich people in Ludi... Li Song, then Yuan San came to you to touch Ben Taishou's doorman, it must have given you a lot of benefits, right? ”
Li Song was a little ashamed when he heard this, and said, "How much, give that little...... Taishou, shall we promise him? ”
Huang Zu slapped the table and said, "Nonsense! You're stupid! Someone sent money to the door to solve our urgent needs, and can you still turn them away? Stuff received! Tell that Yuan San that he knows him so well, he will not be thin on him in the future! ”
When Li Song heard this, he suddenly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and said, "Then Yuan San is ....... person."
"Tomorrow at noon, arrange for him to come to the Taishou Mansion and meet me for a while!"
"No!"
****************************
After the news was sent back, Yuan Shang immediately prepared, and before noon for the second time, he went to Jiangxia Taishou Mansion in person, and he never brought many idlers around him, only Deng Chang and Ma Chao.
On the way, Ma Chao drove for Yuan Shang, while Deng Chang was depressed all the way, and after thinking for a long time, he finally couldn't hold back his words and said: "My lord......."
"Don't call me my lord." Yuan Shang half-squinted his eyes and interrupted lightly: "Now in this situation, you should call my son...... Yuan Sangongzi ......."
Deng Chang pursed his lips and said, "Childe, how much does it cost to transfer so much baggage from our shops in the Central Plains?" Feed Huang Zu all, are you distressed! ”
Yuan Shang's face was flat: "Put a long line, catch big fish, can't give up the child and can't catch the wolf, if you want to meet Huang Zu, how can you not use some fierce medicine." ”
Deng Chang shook his head and said, "The question is whether he is worth the price?" ”
Yuan Shang smiled slightly and said: "Is it worth it, if you say it or not, I also say it doesn't count, it depends on the market trend in the future... Bet, who dares to say that you will not lose money? ”
Deng Chang said distressedly: "Then you don't have to bet on those old things." ”
Yuan Shang was helpless and hated it: "You look at your little bit of interest, things and things, and you don't let you pay for it personally, what are you hurting blindly?" If you really think about me, pay for it for me! ”
Deng Chang's nature suddenly revealed when he heard this: "The old man has no money!" ”
Yuan Shang pursed his lips: "Bear-like, you...... Besides, who said I gave it to him for nothing? Sooner or later I can grab it....get it back! ”
Deng Chang was surprised when he heard this: "If you send out the things that you have gone, can you get them back?" ”
"Joke, when did you see me give away something for nothing?"
Deng Chang lowered his head and pondered carefully for a while, then nodded: "I really haven't seen ......... yet."
As he spoke, the carriage had already stopped in front of the door of Jiangxia Taishou's Mansion, and Ma Chao gently knocked on the door behind him and said, "Lord, it's here." ”
Yuan Shang's half-blind glasses widened, and said, "You two, wait for me here for a while, and I'll come when I go." ”
“………………….”
Ma Chao and Deng Chang were waiting outside the door, Yuan Shang personally sent a greeting post, and then under the recommendation of the guards, he walked into the Taishou Mansion.
Huang Zu had already been in the main hall for a long time, and when he saw Yuan Shang, he immediately showed a hearty smile.
"Yuan San? Brother Yuan? Huang Zu asked tentatively.
Yuan Shang bowed his hand and replied politely: "Tai Shou Xiu wants to torture the villain, how dare you call Tai Shou a brother and a brother." ”
Huang Zu Ha smiled and waved his hand proudly, "You're welcome, come and sit!" ”
"Xie Taishou." After Yuan Shang finished speaking, he immediately knelt down and sat down.
When he was young, the subordinates served tea, and Yuan Shang finished his salute to Huang Zu, and the two chatted about homely things.
"Yuan San, I heard that you are from Ludi, all the way away, what did you do in Jingzhou?"
Yuan Shang smiled and said: "The Central Plains is not peaceful, business is not good, think about developing in the south, find some way out, and do some good deeds by the way." ”
Huang Zu laughed when he heard this, and said: "You have done a good deed, as soon as you make a move, you will have 300 horses, 2,000 grains, 300,000 money, 10,000 gold, 1,000 brocades, and 500 catties of pig iron. ”
Yuan Shang thought about it when he heard this, and said with a smile: "Taishou doesn't need to be polite to me, you just treat me as a man with more money, and I came to you to help the poor and pretend to be a father." ”
