Chapter 639: Cai Mao's Worries
"My lord, I'm still a little worried.1
Cai Mao is now also Xiangyang Taishou, on an equal footing with Fang Zhiwen, but Cai Mao can't afford to sit on an equal footing in front of Fang Zhiwen, the gap between the two sides is not in identity, but in the internal things, Cai Mao always feels that he is bowed, of course, he doesn't feel that there is anything wrong with this, but feels that this is a matter of course.
Some people may think that Cai Mao is a sycophant, but objectively speaking, Cai Mao should position himself accurately, at least his attitude will bring him a lot of benefits, and can also fully eliminate the vigilance from Fang Zhiwen, and with Fang Zhiwen's close cooperation, Cai Mao has already gained a lot of benefits, and there are more benefits.
"Oh? What to worry about? ”
Fang Zhiwen held the teacup and asked curiously, now Liu Bei's eyes are mainly staring at the north, and secondarily staring at the south, but Cai Mao and other Jingxiang clans don't pay attention to it, and now Liu Bei is not just in Jingzhou, he can't figure out the situation, and he thinks that the Jingxiang clan is a big tiger, and now Liu Bei has seen through it, the Jingxiang clan is definitely a big fat pig.
Since it is a big fat pig, Liu Bei is naturally not in a hurry to kill the pig and eat meat, he can raise it slowly, and it is not too late to slaughter it slowly when he needs it, so at present, the Jingxiang clan is very stable.
Especially after the arrival of Tai Shici, the appearance of the troops in the Jingxiang area has taken on a new look, and the combat power has risen by at least two steps, not to mention how strong the combat power can be, at least there is no big problem in defending the city, even if Liu Bei really wants to kill the pig, it is not so simple now.
"Your Excellency. According to Zirou's analysis, in the short term, the Central Plains War is about to break out, and Liu Bei will naturally go north, even if he does not go north with all his might, at least he will focus on the north, and may even start a direct war with the Central Plains clan. And so it goes. Liu Bei's suppression of the Yellow Turban Army, as well as the suppression of the aliens in the south, will be inadequate, and Sun Jian, the Taishou of Changsha, was directly recruited to the Central Plains. The officers and troops of Runan also switched from offensive to defensive, which "
Fang Zhiwen suddenly said: "Oh, it turns out that you are worried about the actions of the Yellow Turban Army." So since Zirou has this insight, she can naturally guess the movements of the Yellow Turban Army, let's talk about it. ”
Looking at Fang Zhiwen's calm appearance, Cai Mao couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed, but the uneasiness in her heart has indeed been reduced a lot, and Fang Zhiwen has this kind of power, the power that can make people trust and stabilize.
Zirou thought that the Yellow Turban Army would definitely take the opportunity to make a move, but the direction of the action should be Runan or Changsha, and the advantage of occupying Runan was to increase its strategic depth. At the same time, it also expanded the arable land, which was important for the Yellow Turban Army, and in addition, if they attacked Changsha, they could be connected with Jingnan. It is also linked to the southern barbarians, and you can even try to cut off the Yangtze River route and get a piece of the pie from the Yangtze River route. ”
"No, no" Fang Zhiwen shook his hand and smiled: "It is impossible to cut off the Yangtze River route, they don't dare, the so-called cutting off people's money is like killing their parents." If they threaten the Yangtze River route, you won't, I won't, the Jiangdong Shi clan and the Yangxu nobles won't, this is looking for death! Therefore, they would never dare to attack Changsha County, so their only choice was Runan. ”
Cai Mao nodded clearly, still a little uneasy and asked, "But, won't it be Jingzhou Jiangxia?" ”
"No, he doesn't dare to 1
Fang Zhiwen put down the teacup and said affirmatively.
Cai Mao was stunned for a moment, and even Xu Shu, who had been loading wood on the side, also shook it, Taishi Zhaorong smiled, lifted the teapot and refilled Fang Zhiwen's teacup with new tea.
"Don't dare?"
"Yes, don't dare, Zhang Mancheng doesn't dare to be our enemy, to be exact, he doesn't dare to be an enemy of Miyun! Because of their weapons, hehe, you know, they can only cooperate with us, and they will even take the opportunity to show you goodwill, so that they can make a deal with you for food. ”
Cai Mao suddenly, Xu Shu couldn't help but pout, profiteers! Dare to do anything for the sake of money!
Cai Mao breathed a sigh of relief, although the Cai family also had this opinion, but hearing the news from Fang Zhiwen's mouth, Cai Mao was even more relieved, the so-called foreign monks chanting scriptures are like this.
However, then Cai Mao's brows furrowed again, seeing that Fang Zhiwen was a little funny, while Xu Shu shook his head, this Cai Mao is really enough, how much pressure is on his back!?
Zirou also mentioned a long-term expectation.
"Oh, that's all the more to hear1
"The Great War in the Central Plains is likely to be just the beginning1
Cai Mao said this, secretly looked at Fang Zhiwen's face, saw the slow nod, and even Xu Shu on one side nodded in agreement, Cai Mao continued: "Dong Zhuo has no foundation in the Central Plains, and Xiliang does not produce grain, even if Dong Zhuo is fighting with the Yongzhou nobles now, but the Yongzhou clan has no military power, which is a very fatal flaw." If the forces around the Central Plains, such as Liu Bei and Ding Yuan, fish in the water again, Dong Zhuo is likely to retreat directly to Guanzhong in order to avoid losses, and confront the Central Plains clan according to the Tongguan Pass, which is also Dong Zhuo's original intention to curry favor with the Yongzhou clan. ”
"Well, the analysis makes sense, Yuan Zhi, you said yes, right?"
"Exactly, to the point, Brother Zirou is so knowledgeable 1
Cai Mao smiled and continued: "In this way, the war in the Central Plains is likely to drag on for a long time, and if the Central Plains is broken, everyone's eyes will naturally be fixed on the rich Yangxu and Jingzhou, and even Jiangdong, so Jingzhou is still a place full of dangers in the long run1
"Yes, Jingzhou is born to be a place of four wars, if you want to be stable, it is impossible, I understand De Jue's thoughts, since there is no objection in the De Jue clan about Ling Mei and Zilong, then Miyun is also the in-law of the Cai family."
Although Cai Mao was slightly disappointed, he learned that Zhao Yun had a close relationship with Fang Zhiwen as a brother, and that he was very likable in appearance, so he accepted it happily.
On the one hand, Cai Mao's return visit in the evening was to officially agree to Zhao Yun's marriage proposal on behalf of the family, and on the other hand, he also wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to form a closer relationship with Fang Zhiwen.
"What do you mean?"
"What I said at the dinner the day before yesterday was not a false word, but a sincere invitation, not to mention that the daughter of the Cai family is going to marry into Miyun! The Zhao family is a small family in Miyun, but at the same time it is also a high-level magnate in Miyun, how the Cai family and the Zhao family want to develop in Miyun, as long as it conforms to Miyun's policy, I myself will not scruple and interfere. ”
Fang Zhiwen replied very seriously, Xu Shu was a little suspicious, but Cai Mao was still not very down-to-earth, as a master, how could he turn a blind eye to watching his subordinates use their power to seek benefits?
When Fang Zhiwen saw Cai Mao's expression, he naturally understood what he was worried about: "De Jue misunderstood, I mean I won't mind, but there will naturally be people in Miyun's political system staring at you, as long as you don't violate the rules, then no one will say anything about how much money you can make, in the same way, I am also using my power to make money, but as long as I comply with the rules, there is nothing wrong with this, if all the channels for high-ranking officials to earn profits are blocked, it is not normal!" In that case, is there anyone else who is an official? ”
Xu Shu thought about it and nodded affirmatively: "There are still some, but there won't be many." ”
"Hehe, so, human nature is like this, it can't be blocked, as long as you follow the rules."
"What if they collude with each other?"
"The key naturally lies in supervision, as long as the power of supervision is placed in the hands of the opponents of the powerful."
"It's easy to say1
"Hehe, isn't it, so what else, Yuan Zhi?"
The two of them naturally argued with each other for a few words, Cai Mao's eyes straightened, from Fang Zhiwen's words, the smart Cai Mao also got a lot of interesting content, it seems that Miyun's policy really needs to be well understood.
Seeing that Xu Shu opened his mouth, frowned and thought, and did not continue to argue with Fang Zhiwen, Cai Mao smiled and interjected and asked, "What are the rules that the adults said?" ”
"Hehe, there are a lot of rules, but since I can abide by it, the Zhen family can abide by it, and there are many more clans who can abide by it, I think the Cai family will definitely be able to accept it."
Cai Mao thought about it, Fang Zhiwen would not make a policy that was completely unfavorable to him, if that was the case, how could the Zhen family agree to marry a daughter!?
Moreover, it can be seen from Fang Zhiwen's simple conversation just now that Miyun's policy is very inclusive, and the pattern is also very open, and it is by no means the simple policy of suppressing the world clan and supporting the common people as imagined by the Jingxiang clan.
"Then if the Cai family goes north, can the adults give certain preferential treatment, such as land and positions?"
"No, the land policy is consistent, on the contrary, land is not necessary for the family, the foundation of the family is in the training system of talents and the use of resources, and land is the foundation of the government. As for the position, Miyun will only be hired. ”
Fang Zhiwen's refusal did not disappoint Cai Mao, on the contrary, Fang Zhiwen's refusal represents the stability and coherence of Miyun's policy is very good, no matter whether such a place is suitable for collecting money, at least it is a suitable place to live, and what Fang Zhiwen just said is right, the foundation of the clan is indeed not limited to the land, this insight is deeply understood by the Cai family, who has been engaged in water transportation and trade for many years.
Moreover, Miyun's strict management of the land has fundamentally put an end to the situation that the clan uses the land to dump each other, even if the trade fails, the clan always has the opportunity to rely on the hard work of the clan to accumulate and re-emerge, from this point of view, Miyun's policy is definitely the most basic element to ensure the survival and continuation of the clan.
Cai Mao quickly weighed the pros and cons of this, and the big stone in his heart finally fell, even if Jingzhou became a pot of porridge in the future, the Cai family could also obtain a foundation for survival and continuation in Miyun, which is very important.
"That being the case, the Cai family may send people north in the near future, first, to take care of the sister, and secondly, to develop a business in Miyun, if it is convenient, I want to let the sister visit Mrs. Zun on behalf of the Cai family to discuss the cooperation between Fang, Zhen and Cai."
Fang Zhiwen grinned, that's right! Both parties can cross-stake each other! In this regard, Cai Mao is really decisive enough.
