【Chapter 27】Officials and Merchants

Yu Moji was dumbfounded.

She looked back at what had happened in Waige at this moment, and a sense of powerlessness suddenly arose in her heart that almost swallowed herself.

Along the way, Yu Moji has experienced all kinds of difficulties. Each time, she thought she had done everything she could, came up with the most thoughtful way she could, and each time she acted as quickly as she could, in her usual way.

Now it seems that each of the decisions she made along the way was too hasty and not rigorous enough. These loopholes and mistakes eventually dragged her to where she is today.

Why did she casually listen to the nonsense of the student she didn't know well?

Why did she have to climb over that treacherous snowy peak?

What did she have to do to burn the huge ship that eats people and doesn't spit out bones?

She didn't think her mind would grow in a short period of time. Therefore, Yu Mochen believes that since she can see this kind of mistake now, she may not be able to see it in the past.

It's just that there are too many ties in her heart and too many fears. There are many worries, so that every time she encounters a setback, she mobilizes her whole body and mind to try her best to deal with it; Every time I see an opportunity, I try my best to fight for it.

This kind of all-encompassing style is not a mistake in itself, but it often drives the ink marks into a corner.

But perhaps it is also this kind of all-out effort that allows her to get out of desperate situations every time.

Yu Mojin sighed for a while, then looked up sharply and found Wei Linyuan glaring at her.

"What's going on?" Wei Linyuan looked confused, "You suddenly feel like you've left your soul." ”

“…… It's okay. You guessed it right, you just missed it. Yu Moji's voice was weak and indifferent.

There is a lot of suffering, a lot of last resort, but there is no way to communicate with outsiders. Because it is difficult for people in different situations to imagine and understand, it is always like scratching the itch in the boots when talking about it, but it is better to bury it in the bottom of your heart.

Wei Linyuan's news was given very suddenly, and Yu Mojin was stunned, and felt a little puzzled, so he asked, "Didn't your father plan to send you out to do business?" Why did your father and son start to care about General Yuan again? I thought that only your sister would ...... such a thing as discussing a general who can't be beaten with eight poles in a family letter."

Yu Moji suddenly stopped talking. She originally wanted to bring up Wei Linyuan's sister who had been chasing Yuan Pingzhi hard in the past, please bring it up and make fun of it. However, she remembered the reason why she had left the mourning in a hurry, and she could no longer laugh.

Fortunately, Wei Linyuan is a fast-talking person, and he has always looked down on Yu Mojian's hesitant little family spirit between words and deeds, and before she finished speaking, she took the conversation over, I am afraid that she didn't hear the last few words at all. "General Yuan is also a rookie in the DPRK, and in a place like Aige, his position as a tooth general is already an official position in the sky. And I heard that he is going to be promoted again recently, and he is very hot in the DPRK. There are eight families in the Pillar Country, which one doesn't want to pull him into his door. ”

The word "envy" on Wei Linyuan's face was almost ready to come out.

Yu Moji understood at first, but the more he listened to it, the more confused he became, "What is the 'pillar'?" ”

"Alas, you are also somewhat accomplished in academics, why are you so lonely in these things, you are simply a nerd. In the future, if you enter a place like the Cardinal, I am afraid it will be enough for you. Wei Linyuan sighed a few words, and then answered Yu Mojian's naïve and ignorant question, "'Eight Pillars and Twelve Generals' are the eight most powerful families in the court. They all want to throw an olive branch to General Yuan. ”

Yu Mochen thought for a while, suddenly smiled lowly, and said, "These eight families, is there a Fu family?" ”

Wei Linyuan's face has never been very thin, but when he heard Yu Moji mention this, his face actually showed a little embarrassment; However, under this layer of embarrassment, there was still a little joy that could not be concealed, "You know everything?" ”

Yu Moji has already understood, when Wei Yeol mentioned Wei Linyuan's family affairs in the past, his self-contained attitude actually made some sense.

Even though she didn't like what Wei Yeol said at the time, she and Wei Linyuan were also friends. Since Wei Linyuan felt that this family business was good, Yu Moji couldn't sweep his face. She nodded, casually congratulated her, and said, "You are young and in charge of a business, and you have become a relative of the 'Eight Pillars of the Country', which is already very remarkable, what are you doing with a young general who envy others at this time?" ”

Wei Linyuan shook his head and sighed, "I'm ashamed." Even though my future father-in-law is surnamed Fu and has a very high official position, he is really just a side branch of the Fu family. And our two families got married, in the final analysis, my family is clinging, which is another layer of difference. Wei Linyuan blushed and explained, "General Yuan is different, he is a talented person who is on the top of the throne by strength. Even if the DPRK attaches great importance to the family lineage, it is also quite important to such a character. ”

Yu Mojin nodded, "The power of the family and the strength of oneself are indeed two very different things. Now that Wei Linyuan understood that he was clinging to the powerful, Yu Mozhen thought that he didn't need to force himself to praise him anymore, just say it directly.

Wei Linyuan really didn't get angry, but sighed a little helplessly, "And in all dynasties, the government's attitude towards us business people has always been very embarrassing. Although there are many famous businessmen in history, even they are often regarded as outliers when they are alive, and they have suffered many belittlements and criticisms. If nothing else, think about it, when you talk about businessmen, what kind of image do you have in your heart? ”

Yu Mochen thought about it, and suddenly became embarrassed.

Even if she didn't dare to slander in front of people on weekdays, when she talked about businessmen, she even showed a lewd appearance of being more competitive and mercenary.

But Wei Linyuan, a rich young master who can be called straightforward and hearty even though he has a sequible face, is not also a businessman?

Wei Linyuan continued, "Even now, a businessman who has reached the level of my cousin, in the hearts of ordinary people, is definitely not as good as a young general with some ability in the imperial capital. He sighed and said, "Speaking of which, my father couldn't stand this anger when he was young, so he had to be a teacher." It's too late to regret it now, so I had to send me out...... Catastrophe. ”

He said this seriously, and he wanted to make Yu Moji smile.

Yu Moji: "Hehe." ”

Wei Linyuan: "......"

Yu Mozhen and Wei Linyuan disliked each other with straight eyebrows on their faces, but in their hearts, they said in their hearts that your father is the head of the house, where is the image of a poor sour master who teaches.

However, the silence between the two sides for too long made the atmosphere even more awkward. Since this embarrassment was caused by Yu Moji, she had to occasionally take the responsibility of breaking the embarrassment from Wei Linyuan, "I haven't seen you for a few months, why did you become so old-fashioned when you talked?" ”

"Young Master Ben has learned a lot of truths," Wei Linyuan said angrily, "Shibei for three days, when you look at each other, do you understand?" ”

Yu Moji scratched his eyes expressionlessly.

For Shangwei Linyuan, she, who has always been a bit restrained, can always get a little opportunity to pretend to be hateful and make jokes.

But Yu Moji also knew very well that the source of this ease was the merit of Wei Linyuan's character, not herself.

"......" Wei Linyuan glanced at her helplessly, and said, "My cousin thinks that this deliberate belittling actually shows that the imperial court is afraid of businessmen. As he spoke, his eyebrows raised again.

After all, Yu Moji had just woken up not long ago, and the speed of thinking about things was already a little unable to keep up, so he could only look at him with a puzzled expression.

Wei Linyuan rarely encountered something that Yu Moji didn't understand, but he still understood, and the corners of his eyes and eyebrows were full of pride, "The most thing we businessmen have is money, and money is exactly what everyone wants." Because of this, the wealth of merchants can be exchanged for many things, some of which are what the common people have always wanted, but the government has never been willing to get a piece of the pie. ”

Yu Moji still looked at him with straight eyebrows, "For example?" ”

"I can't tell you that." Wei Linyuan stretched out his finger and shook it in front of his mouth, "Anyway, according to what Uncle Cousin said, if a businessman wants to come out, he will either compete with the government with extremely strong wealth and lose both; Either understand the respective abilities of both sides and seek to join forces. In short, it is always not wrong to understand the movements of the government, to take a look at the situation in the world, and to think about the future of our businessmen. ”

Yu Moji couldn't comprehend it at all, and the more he listened to it, the more he felt that his head was big, and he couldn't help but sigh secretly, Wei Linyuan's fancy had obviously developed verbally.

Wei Linyuan was originally quite satisfied with his remarks, but when he saw her unintentional, powerless and incomprehensible look, he suddenly felt disappointed, so he had to silently bow his head and drink a few sips of gruel.

This stuff is certainly not to his taste.

Wei Linyuan finally couldn't help it, raised his head suddenly, and sighed, "When I think that you can only eat this kind of thing for a long time in the future, I feel that it is really miserable." ”

Yu Moji only said lightly, "It's already good." ”

"Alas," Wei Linyuan always had a lot of opportunities to sigh at the remaining ink marks, "You look pitiful and pretend to be calm, it really makes people's hearts blocked." ”

Yu Moji had no choice but to smile to show that she really thought it was good.

Yu Moji said again, "You just said that you are willing to send a ship, is it a joke?" ”

Wei Linyuan immediately pouted dissatisfiedly, "When did the thing I promise you ever be a joke?" ”

Yu Mochen was overjoyed in his heart, and said, "If it's serious, when can you set off at the earliest?" ”

"My God," Wei Linyuan sighed, "do you want to die?" Do you know what is the condition of your body and bones now? ”

"I'm naturally going to die," Yu Mojin shrugged, "but my life has been picked up by you, and it seems that there is no disaster at the moment." As for recovering from the injury, there is no rush anyway, just take your time. ”

"Sometimes it's really hard to understand what you're thinking." Wei Linyuan said, his brows slowly furrowed, and his face showed a little embarrassment.

His ugly expression was too obvious. Seeing this, Yu Moji said, "Young Master Wei, if you have anything to say, just say it." After all, you saved my life, don't talk about sending the ship, it's just a joke, even if you want me to get out of your house immediately......" She moved her body with difficulty, and said, "I can't do it." ”

"That's not what I mean," Wei Linyuan glanced at her quickly, then moved his gaze to the side, and said awkwardly, "I said I would help you, so naturally I will do what I say." You don't have to worry about the boat thing. ”

"How?" Yu Mochen looked at his spitting appearance, his eyelids jumped, and he said, "Do you really have any plans to blast me out?" ”
