Chapter 5 Accept Her Thoughts
"Official-" Ji Xian, the bodyguard and entourage, stepped forward and called softly, surprised by the judgment between the two of them before and after the master.
"The clouds open and the moon rises." Liu You stretched out his hand and said meaningfully: "Good sign!" After speaking, he turned to Ji Xian and said with a smile: "Old Ji, what do you think?" ”
Ji Xian thought for a while and said slowly: "Although this Red Turban Army belongs to the Red Jacket Army, and it does not occupy a large area, its strength must not be as good as that of the Nine Kings, but it seems that it is far away. The sea road, the construction of a merchant hall, and the purchase of grain at ten times the price, all of which cost a lot. ”
"Is that all?" Liu You shook his head dissatisfied, and said slowly: "It's certain that what you plan is going far, and it's good to spend a lot, from this point of view, the Red Turban Army, or that Meng Jiucheng, is very confident in the future development!" ”
Ji Xian blinked his eyes, a little puzzled, and said: "The Nine Kings have the land of three states, and the troops are hundreds of thousands, but they are still defeated, I don't know where the confidence of this Red Turban Army comes from?" Or are they ready to surrender to the Jin Dynasty, and can they still occupy this place? ”
"This has not been proven, but I think it may not be." Liu You was also a little skeptical, thought for a while and said: "If you want to surrender, you must rely on the Jin State to provide money and grain, so why bother to buy grain from outside?" ”
Ji Xian was also confused, and he didn't hide it in his heart in the face of his master, and said bluntly: "Maybe it's like the Nine Kings, if you have the intention of voting for the Song Dynasty, you will find the Song people to contact first; Maybe you really have the confidence to resist the Jin army, for example, you have already contacted other Red Jacket Armies and can fight the enemy together. ”
Liu You nodded and said, "Anyway, since he has faith, let's do a long-term deal." Not to mention what will happen to the Red Turban Army in the future, it is also a good thing with immeasurable merits to send food to save lives. ”
"Officials want to help with all their might? Our family's other business-" Ji Xian paused for a moment, and then stopped.
Although Liu You is a businessman, he is not a grain merchant, and this time is also a tentative contact, and if he wants to become big in the future, it is not without difficulties.
Liu You laughed and said: "Other businesses, how can this grain make more money, is there a bigger business in this world than what is done now?" ”
Ji Xian smiled bitterly and said, "The official has accepted other people's property, and the villain will know that you have made up your mind." ”
Since it is not a society governed by the rule of law, it is a long-standing tradition that business is largely dependent on credibility and creditworthiness. Many businessmen have always said the same, very simply and decisively, and they do what they say, without jokes. As long as a small deposit is paid upfront, they will do their best to get the job done.
"The deposit has been received, let's do our best! I hope that the Red Turban Army can support it for a long time, and General Meng can soar. Liu You smiled, as if he was quite proud of it, he didn't regret it at all, and his words were more like expectation and encouragement.
"Official, please rest early, and the villain will arrange it." Ji Xian knew that there was no room for change, although he still had some doubts in his heart, but he also had a straightforward and decisive temperament.
Ji Xian seems to be rough, but he is actually careful, and he has a lot of ambition. A few years later, he traveled around and persuaded Ying Chunzhi of Zhichu Prefecture to recruit the rebels. Then he recruited Shi Qi, Ge Ping, Yang Deguang and other rebels, and was appointed by the imperial court as the commander of the Lianshui Loyal Righteous Army.
Not to mention that Ji Lai was assassinated because he was framed by Li Quan, and he became the commander of an army in a short period of time from a civilian, which is just a typical example of the times creating heroes. It doesn't have to be an individual to excel, but you just need to be bold and careful, and catch up with the opportunity created by the changing situation.
And Ji Xian ran around and lobbied local officials, and finally succeeded. It only shows that this person is not simple.
"You really have to hurry up and arrange it!" Liu You let out a sigh of relief, cast his eyes out of the window again, listened to the sound of the tide, and said faintly: "The news will spread soon, and there are many people who want to make this several times the profit!" ”
……………
Regardless of whether it is for profit or not, the value needs to be determined, Meng Jiucheng does not expect every businessman to have a bodhisattva heart, and watch the northerners hungry and cold and be kind.
And just when he was busy building a defense system, writing letters to guide scientific research, and managing internal affairs, news from the north kept coming, and it became more and more accurate.
The Red Jacket Army led by Yang An'er was indeed defeated, but the Jin Army did not win easily, and it was not easy to attack Laizhou for a long time, so it had to send spies to infiltrate Laizhou City in a fraudulent way, colluded with traitors, and opened the city gate.
And Yang An'er and his subordinates Ji Zheng and others fled to the sea in a small boat, and then fled from the sea to the mountain in Jimo, where they were beaten into the water by Qu Cheng, a boatman who coveted the huge reward of the gold country, and died heroically.
Defeat is defeat, but Yang An'er's department has not been completely wiped out, and it is more accurate to say that it is routed. The large shares have become small shares, and the concentration has become dispersed, which in a certain respect is more conducive to concealment, and it is even more unfavorable to the Jin army's extermination and extinguishment.
And many of the scattered Red Jacket Army also ran to the territory of the Red Turban Army, and Meng Jiucheng ordered them to be screened and resettled. Those who are strong and willing to serve as soldiers are supplemented into the army; Those who are tired of fighting, or bring their families with them, and want to stay and farm, are also arranged according to the policy.
Meng Jiucheng also specially recruited a few personal guards from these people, as well as two staff members who had read books, and followed him. He learned the details of Yang An'er's department from the inquiry, and knew a lot of things that were only unknown in historical materials before.
"You keep asking Yang Miaozhen about things, are you ill-intentioned?" The soft sister system made a bold guess about Meng Jiucheng's recent words and deeds.
Meng Jiucheng smiled and said, "It's better to join the army than to be attached, right?" Since I'm still passable, I can accept it if I'm stronger. ”
"The rouge horse is not easy to ride, can you lower her?" The soft girl was a little contemptuous, "People's pear flower guns are known as invincible in the world!" ”
Hehe, Meng Jiucheng laughed twice, and said arrogantly: "The strong girls have all been surrendered, and let me ride obediently." Four ladies, no matter how strong she is, she is also a woman. Just don't be impatient, see how I show my manly charm, and let the invincible four ladies in the world throw themselves into their arms! ”
"I haven't skimmed the eight characters yet, but I'm blowing it hard." The soft girl also laughed twice and said, "Then I'll wait and see, see your means!" ”
"We'll talk about it then." Meng Jiucheng waved his hand disappreciatively, "I haven't seen this side yet, I haven't said I like it yet!" If you can't see it, I'm not uncommon! ”
The soft girl paused and said disdainfully: "It's still installed." I advise you, for the sake of the great cause, you still try to accept her as much as possible. In this era, you can't have three wives and four concubines, and you can find a desirable one in the future! ”
Hmph, Meng Jiucheng objected with his nose, and said righteously: "Your three views are not very correct, Lao Tzu never deceives women's feelings." ”
