Chapter 383: External
Everyone was a little silent for a while, Meng Shu frowned and thought about it, and put forward a suggestion, "Diverting water into the Niuyang River is a grassland plan, and it must not be stillborn, even if we want to borrow it, we will build it." ”
Look at me, leaders, and I'll look at you.
Gran said, "Xiaoxi, you go out first to see if the emperor is angry." ”
Grancy knew that they didn't want to say something in front of her, for fear of telling Sister Yan herself, but her brother was so serious in his eyes, so he had to go out angrily.
When she went out, the cronies at the door signaled to Gran Wang that she had gone away, and Gran Wang said, "What Leader Meng Huo said is right, if this plan has never been had, forget it, but hope is obviously in front of us, but we give up because of intrigue, how to explain to everyone, what face do we have to be the leader of a clan." ”
Immediately, some people agreed, "As long as the waterway is completed and the water diversion is successful, the development of the grassland is unlimited, and we can't afford to pay back some money and grain?"
The leader of the day sneered, "Now that the waterway has not been built, we are restrained, and then we take her silver, and the grassland is not yet played with by people, do you think that Sister Xie is so good-natured?
"The development of the grassland is limited, so it can only survive in the cracks of various countries, does the leader of the day still want to live such a day?"
Seeing that everyone was arguing again, Glenwang had a headache, thinking that it would be difficult to persuade them to agree to this plan, but he didn't expect that the most difficult thing was the resource payment and benefit distribution.
After they had been arguing for a long time, and they had drunk several pots of milk tea, Glenwang interrupted them, "It's useless for everyone to argue here, it's better to go back and rest first, and think about it." ”
There was a lot of noise, and everyone lost their interest, and when they heard this, they dispersed.
At night, there are always people who can't sleep, and they get together in twos and threes to discuss.
Sister Yan also received a letter from Beijing, this letter was actually written by Lin Zi, and there was another letter.
It turned out that a day after Sister Yan and her party set off, Qingying left a letter and left quietly, and Lin Zi also sent it.
Qing Ying wrote in the letter: Now that the seventh prince has been killed, Miss Nine is bent on state affairs, Qing Ying is in trouble, so she disobeyed the order and left without permission.
Lin Zi guessed that she was afraid that no one would care about Qingti's revenge, so she went to take revenge herself, this move was ten deaths and nine lives, but many people went to stop her, but they didn't find her, presumably she had already had the will to die, and she must kill King Ling.
The killing of King Ling was not trivial, so after he couldn't stop Qing Ying, he immediately wrote to his sister, hoping that she would take precautions.
Sister Yan read the letter, and only thought that she was stupid, she was alone, how could she kill the heavily guarded King Ling, but King Ling really couldn't move easily in his heart, Qingying's hatred, I have to wait a little longer, why can't the stupid girl wait.
I regretted it in my heart, but I couldn't suppress the thoughts in my mind, the identity of Qing Ying, it is not difficult for King Ling to find out, the Xie family assassinated King Ling, King Ling will definitely make good use of it, how to mobilize the power in the hands of King Ling to fight against foreign enemies.
Sister Yan pinched the letter and fell into deep thought.
The night passed quickly.
The men of the mission packed up overnight, fed the horses with fodder early in the morning, set up the wagon, and looked as if they were ready to leave immediately.
The leaders thought they were acting, but the people who watched last night said that the Glenwang brothers and sisters did not report her gout, and Glency was denied to see her.
Everything was ready, and the sister was dressed in a fox fur, first bid farewell to Grunwang, refused to be retained by the Glenwang brothers and sisters, and then got into the carriage step by step, unhurriedly.
If everyone has no heart, I am afraid that they still have to praise the elegance.
The convoy set off calmly, and the snow was broken again.
The leader of the day said with a bad face, "It's just to intimidate us, see if she doesn't want to come back and beg us." ”
No one spoke to him.
But it was Gran Xi who was about to cry in a hurry, "Sister Yan must be really angry, she won't come to see Xiaoxi again in the future, woo." ”
Watching the convoy gradually disappear into the wind and snow, many people's hearts are very heavy.
After a while, someone said, "Don't we have a new plan?" Why don't we go and invite the emperor back to discuss it again." ”
The leader of the day was displeased, "Don't be uncomplacent. ”
It's not good for everyone to stand in the wind and snow all the time, and they go back to the camp, but they are restless one by one.
Last night, everyone thought that the emperor was going to intimidate the people of the grassland, but they didn't expect that the emperor sent the seventeen adults to specially instruct them to pack up as soon as possible, and leave early the next morning, so that everyone knew that they might really return in vain.
After walking like this for a long time, everyone finally believed that the emperor had given up on this plan, and they were listless one by one, like generals who had lost a battle.
Several students did not give up and went to ask the emperor for verification, but the emperor who had never minded giving them explanations did not speak.
In addition to the grassland, there are other people who are working for the future of the Chu State.
Since sending his sister away, Xie Yuan locked himself in the study for three days, wrote several letters out, and then left the Xie family's old mansion.
In a courtyard in a city on the side, Xie Yuan met with several guests.
These people are the most powerful businessmen in the Chu State, and some have accumulated wealth for several generations, and the smell of copper on their bodies has long been replaced by nobility.
They tasted the latest tea leaves and enjoyed a few plum blossoms in full bloom in the garden.
Xie Yuan opened his mouth and said, "A few brothers, Xie Yuan has something important to ask for this appointment. ”
Everyone knew the situation of the Xie family and knew that it must be important for him to speak, so they put down the cup.
"Brother Xie, please speak. ”
"Everyone knows that the Shang and Jin countries have been eyeing the Chu State, and the Jin State now wants to take advantage of the grassland in order to invade more land in the Chu State.
A man in his thirties and forties with a long beard said, "Why should Brother Xie be polite, is this time for us to raise military funds? ”
Xie Yuan said, "I know that you are all generous and righteous people, but what I want you to help me with is not just money. ”
A young man in his twenties propped his chin and said, "Oh, Brother Xie, let's hear it and see if it's hard to get us." ”
These people have long enjoyed the glory and wealth, and more difficult things can arouse their interest.
Xie Yuan Zhengse said, "Everyone knows a sentence, the two armies are fighting, the grain and grass go first, in troubled times, the grain and grass are the most important, and my Chu State is fighting against the Shang and Jin countries, this battle must be very difficult, under the nest, there are eggs, we naturally have to make a strong contribution, but we turn the silver into grain and grass, wouldn't it be better?"
An elegant middle-aged man with a steady face said, "Brother Xie wants us to hoard grain and grass?"
Xie Yuan said, "It is indeed a hoarding of grain and grass, but it is not a hoarding of grain and grass from the Chu State, but the grain and grass of the Shang State. ”
The young man clapped his hands and laughed, "Good idea, everyone else is drawing from the bottom of the kettle, Brother Xie actually thought of stealing the rice in the kettle, it's wonderful." ”
The old man who had been sitting under Xie Yuan and had been closing his eyes said, "The grain and grass business will not lose money, and this move can be regarded as a reminder from you, but there is no need to ask for words." ”
The middle-aged man seemed to have a lot of respect for this old man, "Old Ge, do you think this method is feasible?"
Ge Lao nodded, "At that time, no matter who you sell it to, it will be profitable, as long as you don't sell it to the Shang and Jin countries, we won't be disappointed, by the way, in addition to grain and grass, it is best to cut off their salt road, grain and grass and salt are not enough for their needs, and the Shang Kingdom will naturally have a lot of trouble." ”
When the young man heard this, he was very excited, "Ge Lao deserves to be Ge Lao, and now there is a new way to play." ”
Ge Lao showed a smile, "You are young, don't be too playful, don't forget our purpose." ”
Xie Yuan said, "Thank you for your trust. ”
Ge Lao waved his hand, "Just do your best in everything, the old man doesn't have your courage, invite everyone to participate in such a plan, but the old man has earned a lifetime of money, and he has to spend a lot of money when he gets old, otherwise it will be too much of a loss." ”
The young man teased, "It's rare for Ge Lao to be so generous, then I won't hide it, after the matter is completed, I invite everyone to my house to drink, and the wine in the cellar can be picked and drunk." ”
At the mention of this, Ge Lao's eyes lit up, this young man has the best brewing technology and wine recipe, he doesn't know how many good wines are hidden in the house, and he never wants to show people on weekdays, there are century-old wines in the wine cellar, even if everyone here tastes all the delicious food in the world, they still want to drink it, not to mention that Ge Lao's biggest hobby is to taste good wine.
"You stinky boy, take it out now, don't talk big here. ”
"What am I lying to you for, don't worry, I definitely don't hide it, in fact, the wine in the cellar is already a kind of inheritance, I haven't drunk it a few times, grandpa won't let me drink it, everyone went, grandpa will definitely not let me lose face, I will also follow everyone to taste it." ”
While talking and laughing, a plan to affect the situation in the world was thus decided.
Xie Yuan is not only a successful businessman, but under the influence of his family, he has an extraordinary political sense and plans for the future situation in advance.
The maid changed the hot tea for everyone.
Many details were discussed to connect each channel into a complete network.
They are giants, who have developed for several generations, and their business is all over the world, and they can smuggle grain, grass and salt from the Shang Kingdom faster and more secretly than Lian Jin hastily established a channel to smuggle the minerals of the Chu State.
They are all familiar with the black and white market.
The young man suddenly proposed, "Hoarding grain and grass is everyone's consensus, although we are united with wealth, but it is still not enough, let's quickly export the antiques, jewelry, cloth, etc. in the shops under our name, consume the silver in their hands, so that they have no time to care about the grain and grass market, we have more cash in the territory of the merchant country, and less opponents to collect grain." When the market is chaotic, our actions can be better disguised. ”
Ge Lao said, "You kid is quite poisonous, you are not afraid that your grandfather will clean up your scumbag." ”
"With Ge Lao by his side, my grandfather didn't dare to say anything. ”
"Okay, I'll have fun with you, old man. ”
