"Childe, the people of the Song valve have arrived." Niu Da came to the Zhou Dynasty and saluted and reported.
At this time, it has been a few days since the Zhou Dynasty sent out the twelve orphans, and in the past few days, the twelve orphans have arrived in Jingling, Yuyang, Baling, Jiujiang, Yuzhang and Jiangxia where they are located according to their own arrangements, and began to take over the people's livelihood governance of the six cities under the guidance of Yun Yuzhen personally or arranged manpower, and learned the way to govern the world for people.
Therefore, the mansion of the Zhou Dynasty became irrepressibly deserted, except for the Zhou Dynasty himself and a t-x2 guarding the mansion, only Niu Da, the thief who had been forcibly given the "Imperial Ten Thousand Laws Root Wisdom Sutra" as a real body, remained here, as a porter and a general subordinate.
"Let them in." Zhou Chao nodded, dropped the tools in his hand, and used his hand to erase some of the runes that carved the shuttle magic array on the ground.
"Yes." Niu Da answered the order, and then left the courtyard, and then not long after, he walked into the courtyard with three strangers, two men and one woman, and appeared in front of Zhou Chao.
"In Xia Song Zhi, I have seen Childe." Among the three, the middle-aged man smiled with his fists clenched.
"Song Shidao (Song Yuzhi) has seen Gongzi." Then, the remaining two young men, a man and a woman, also saluted.
"It turned out to be the famous earth sword Song Zhi Song Second Master in person, there was a loss of welcome, there was a loss of welcome, and I hope to forgive my sins." Zhou Chao, who was in the chair, hurriedly stood up, hugged his fists and greeted the three of them politely.
"Where, where, it's all a name. Childe was polite. Song Zhi said modestly.
"These two must be the children of the Song lord, and they are really talented, heroic and extraordinary, quite fatherly." Zhou Chao smiled, then turned his head to look at Song Shidao and Song Yuzhi and said.
"Childe praised it." Song Shidao said modestly. Song Yuzhi didn't speak, but looked at Zhou Chao with a slightly curious expression. Zhou Chao also smiled and looked at Song Yuzhi's face carefully.
Song Yuzhi's appearance is not very beautiful at first glance, at most, it is a level stronger than ordinary people, not to mention compared with the famous prostitute Shang Xiufang, even compared with Yun Yuzhen, it is slightly weaker. This probably has something to do with the contours of her face, which feels a bit like a man's wife, or the image of a military flower in a TV series, but her skin is very good, white and red, not at all as dark and rough as a woman in Lingnan at this time, with bright eyes and bright teeth, with her tall body and slender legs, it has a different taste. It looks particularly attractive.
Song Zhi on the side didn't bother when he saw this, his fingers brushed the short beard on his chin, and he watched with a smile as the two admired each other there, looking like men and women meeting each other for the first time in later generations.
"There seems to be hope." Song Zhi's eyes flashed. Secretly said in my heart.
After a while, Zhou Chao retracted his gaze, turned his head to Song Zhi and Song Shidao, who were watching the excitement on the side, stretched out his arms and invited, "Second Master Song, Senior Daoist Brother, please take a seat." ”
"Childe, please." Song Zhi also bowed and smiled.
Then the four of them moved at the same time, and each sat down on a large square chair in the hall.
Then. T-X2, who is transformed into a maid, walks into the house with a tray and serves a cup of tea to Song Zhi, Song Shidao, Song Yuzhi, and Zhou Chao respectively.
"Second Master, Senior Brother, Miss Yuzhi, please." Zhou Chao picked up the teacup. Invited.
Second Master Song raised his glass and put the teacup into his mouth.
"Fresh and elegant, with an endless aftertaste, it is really good tea! Presumably this is the new tea that has been rumored on the rivers and lakes recently, right? Song Zhi put down the teacup and exclaimed.
"It's the new tea." Zhou Chao nodded in acknowledgement. As for the so-called new tea, it is not a strange thing, it is a kind of brewed tea made according to the method of roasting tea in later generations, but in terms of freshness and elegance, it is indeed necessary to make tea like medicinal soup with tea foam mixed with ginger slices and salty salt in this era.
"If the second master likes it, I'll send the second master some back to taste." Zhou Chao said with a smile.
"Thank you so much, Childe. After drinking this new tea, I am afraid that the old tea in the past is difficult to eat. Song Zhi smiled bitterly and said truthfully.
Zhou Chao smiled understandingly, and then turned to ask, "I don't know why the second master came to Jiangxia to see Zhou this time?" ”
"There are some matters that I want to discuss with my son." Hearing this, Song Zhi retracted the smile on his face, turned his hand and put the teacup on the small table beside him, and said solemnly.
"Oh?" Zhou Chao raised his eyebrows, and his face showed a puzzled expression.
"Childe, do you know anything about my Song family's business?" Song Zhi didn't immediately elaborate, but asked rhetorically first.
"You know, it seems that you are making a profit by selling illicit salt to the north?" Zhou Chao nodded slightly and stated.
"Exactly." Song Zhi nodded in acknowledgement, and then continued, "And don't hide it from my son, my Song family's salt transportation is mainly through the guò waterway, which is to go up a section of Poyang Lake, enter the Yangtze River, and then turn to the east and west. This section of the road was originally controlled by Lin Shihong's men and horses, my Song family and he had an agreement to buy the right of way of this waterway with a profit of 20% per boat, but time has changed, now Lin Shihong has been destroyed by Gongzi, Yuzhang to Jiujiang and even the Yangtze River waters west of Jiujiang are controlled by Gongzi, so in order to ensure the smooth flow of my Song family's salt road, I hereby come to negotiate with Gongzi on behalf of the Song family. ”
"What does the second master mean......" Zhou Chao said in a long voice.
"We are willing to give twenty-fifty percent of the profits to Gongzi for each ship, in order to buy the safety of my Song family's salt ship within Gongzi's power." Song Zhi said decisively. Obviously, it has been discussed a long time ago.
"Sancheng, at the same time, I only promise that I will not stop you, as for safety, you are responsible for yourself." Zhou Chao didn't think about it, so he replied.
"Don't you think the price is a bit high?" Song Zhi frowned and said in a deep voice.
"A section of the tributaries from Yuzhang to Jiujiang can get 20% of Baili, and I also have the Yangtze River waterway west of Jiujiang, just by way of counting money, I don't have much at all." Zhou Chao chuckled.
"That being said, Childe's asking price is simply too high. Don't hide it from the son, my Song family can only earn less than fifty percent of the white profit if they take a boat once, so they will give thirty percent to the son. My Song family will complain. Song Zhi smiled bitterly.
"That was before, but now the area west of Jiujiang is my power, and the Song family's salt boat doesn't need to pay more money to go north from now on, which can save the Song family a lot of money. Zhou Chao said.
Then Song Zhi replied again, and bargained with the Zhou Dynasty on the issue of waterway interests, and finally the two parties decided to make one step each, and reached a consensus with two percent of Bai Li, ending the negotiations.
Then Song Zhi, who took another sip of tea, changed his tone and suddenly said, "Childe." There is a sentence in the next sentence that I don't know when to ask and not to ask. ”
"But it doesn't hurt to ask, as long as you can speak, my son will know everything, and he can't say anything." Zhou Chaoxin said "here", and then said with a smile.
"Then Song took the liberty of it." Song Zhi said politely, paused, and then asked, "I don't know why the prince suddenly exploded this time, and connected the five towns of Jiujiang, Yuzhang, Jingling, Baling and Yuyang in a few days?" But do you also want to join in this reckless and chaotic world and compete for world domination? ”
"Why did the second master say this?" Zhou Chao asked noncommittally.
"Childe, is this a test of Song Zhi?" Song Zhi said with a smile. Zhou Chao smiled slightly. Didn't speak, came a tacit acquiescence.
"Then Song Zhi will dare to say something, if there is something wrong, please correct the son." Song Zhi said. Then he raised his hand and pinched the short beard on his chin, and said while recalling the information about the Zhou Dynasty that he had seen in his mind.
"Jiangxia, located in the Yangtze River main stream interrupted. It is bordered by Jiujiang River in the east, irrigated in the west, can go up to Jingling in the north, and pass through Xiangyang and directly enter Guanzhong near Chang'an. In the south, you can cross Poyang Lake and go straight to Lingnan, which can be described as the hub of the Yangtze River waterway and a strategic place. If a single town, the value is naturally not large, but after the union of Jiujiang, Iryang, Jingling, and Irriyang, it has formed a central pattern that can enter Guanzhong, enter Lingnan, reach Shuzhong on the left, and go far into the sea on the right, although it is not like the Central Plains, but it is also better than the four wars of the Central Plains. ”
"Even if Gongzi has more intentions, with the benefit of the tools in Gongzi's hands, he can take Tong'an, Xuancheng, Liyang, Danyang, Jiangdu and other five big cities along the Yangtze River in the future, completely occupy the Yangtze River waterway, cut off the connection between the south and the north, divide the world into two, and repeat the scene of the Southern Dynasty."
"At that time, even if the son does not compete for hegemony in the world, he can still sit on half of the country and achieve the body of an emperor, what Song said should be right, right?"
Although he used a question sentence at the end, Song Zhi showed a strong sense of confidence in both his expression and tone, and he was obviously very sure of his analysis.
Song Shidao and Song Yuzhi also had bright eyes, staring at Zhou Chao with burning eyes, looking forward to his answer.
"Bang Bang Bang ......"
"It is worthy of being the second master of Song Zhi and Song, who is known as the wise man of the Song family, and his analysis is really sharp." Zhou Chao clapped his hands and said with a smile.
After a pause, you continued, "It's just that the second master is wrong, even if I want to occupy the Yangtze River waterway and do the thing of dividing the south and the north, I can't sit on half of the country, at least your Lingnan Song family will not agree." ”
"What if the Song family agrees?" Song Zhi's eyes flashed, his eyes stared at Zhou Chao without blinking, and he said.
"It's not easy, right?" Zhou Chao asked rhetorically with a smile. And at this point, the Zhou Dynasty can be completely sure that it is true that the Song family brought people to talk about the salt road, but taking the opportunity to discuss this matter is the most important thing, otherwise it is a simple salt road issue, why bother to work The reputation of the Song family is only in the valve owner, Song Zhi of the Heavenly Sword Song Que Song Zhi personally went out to the horse, and brought the second-generation leader of the Song family and the only daughter to be married for this purpose? The Zhou Dynasty didn't think that this matter was really that important to the Song family.
After all, there is no waterway, isn't there still 6 ways to go?
"There are only three requirements of my Song family, first, after the son's work is completed, my Song family will still remain unchanged. Second, the son needs to marry the niece of Yuzhi, the daughter of the lord, as his wife. Third, allow the children of the Song family to enter the forces under the command of Gongzi. Of course, as for the third point, I just need to treat it normally, and my Song family children will show their abilities without special care. Song Zhi said solemnly.
On the side, seeing that Song Yuzhi's expression that mentioned herself in the conversation flashed unnaturally, she turned her head slightly to the side, and she didn't know if she was shy or unwilling to do so.
"If the Song family wants to cooperate with me, then the Song family mountain city must be disbanded afterwards, and in addition to normal martial arts and business, there must not be any private soldiers in the clan, this is the principle, otherwise it is okay not to cooperate." Zhou Chao sneered. What kind of country within a country wants to play under his men, that's a dream! Although he doesn't have any intention of dominating the world, and he doesn't care about the people under his power - after all, no matter how strong he is, he can't be stronger than MS, and no matter how hard he is, he can't be hard with missiles, but as long as he is under his influence, even if he is nominally attached to himself, the military power must be handed over.
This is the fundamental problem of the system, which cannot be shaken! Otherwise, there will be chaos in the future!
As for the fact that the children of the Song family entered the force to serve, the Zhou Dynasty couldn't ask for it, and his subordinates were now short of people!
Although this will definitely give birth to a Song family bureaucracy that is compatible with his power in the future, but so what? He spent so much effort in the Datang world, all he did was the resources and environment of this world, as for the political system, the power or something, it didn't matter at all, it was just a temporary assistance tool he made in order to achieve the goal, if it was really chaotic and needed to carry out a big rule, it was a big deal to put the big number and clean it up, so the ghost would care about those.
On the contrary, it is the second article - marrying Song Yuzhi as his wife, which slightly makes Zhou Chao feel a little headache. It's not that he doesn't like Song Yuzhi or what, after all, Song Yuzhi is a very good girl, but the key is that Zhou Chao still has Charlotte and Lala Cun Zài by his side, so before he gets the two of them, marrying someone else as a wife or something, it's really a bit unreasonable, even if Lala among the two is a point As long as Zhou Chao is good, it doesn't matter how many wives he marries......
"So, Childe intends to dominate the world?" Song Zhi's eyes lit up, and he looked at Zhou Chao and asked.
He is not afraid of the Zhou Dynasty bargaining, but he is afraid that the Zhou Dynasty will not bargain, in that case, it either means that the Zhou Dynasty does not look down on the power of their Song family, or the Zhou Dynasty really has no intention of fighting for hegemony in the world. If it's the latter, then there's no problem, the two sides are safe, what should they do, but if it's the former...... The Song family asked themselves, their own power is not as hard as Lin Shihong or anyone else, so they really can't resist the blow of the pile of metal puppets in the hands of the Zhou Dynasty.
"Let's talk about the hegemony of the world, but I am somewhat interested in dividing the north and the south." Zhou Chao picked up the teacup again, brought the teacup to his mouth, and said softly while bowing his head and drinking tea.
"As long as Childe has a heart, we can continue to talk about the rest." Song Zhi's expression was relieved and he smiled. At the same time, the heart said, "It's done!" ”
"The second uncle and the son will talk, the jade is tired, so he will retire first." At this time, Song Yuzhi stood up from his seat and said apologetically. (To be continued!)
