Volume 1 Chapter 328 are all planning for troubled times
And Liu Hongji, although so far, belongs to the kind of master who has no ambitions, is mixed with the underworld all day long, and is drunk and dreams of death, but I know very well that he also has an ambition to make meritorious contributions, but he is very disdainful of Yang Guang's disregard for the safety of the people in the world and his single-minded conquest of foreign countries just for the sake of exporting gas.
From this point of view, it is unimaginable for me that I, the underworld boss who cuts off chicken heads and burns yellow paper, eats, drinks, prostitutes, gambles, fights and fights all day long, actually has a compassionate heart. From this point, it can be seen that the eldest grandson Wuji in the past still had some vision in terms of making friends.
"Brother Xian, what the hell is going on, you better come quickly." At this time, Liu Hongji was very impatient and pushed me with his oily hand, damn, the trace of goodwill that had just risen in this son disappeared in a blink of an eye. This guy is still a hooligan
"According to the younger brother's opinion, the Great Sui Dynasty is afraid that it will no longer have the power to return to heaven. This is the reason why the younger brother left Luoyang, the eastern capital, and went to Hancheng County to operate...... "Glancing at these three brothers, now, many things, even if they know about it, are nothing.
“…… For example, in today's chaos, the Son of Heaven insisted on the northern expedition, forcibly conscripting the people as soldiers, and even issuing conscription, so that many people did not even have the strong labor force to farm the land, and the officials still had to collect taxes and taxes. ”
"But the question is, now, the war has spread in all directions, Shandong, Shanxi, Hebei, Henan everywhere, although the Son of Heaven has sent several soldiers and horses to quell the rebellion, but the question is useful? Even though the court soldiers and horses won many battles, not only did the rebels not decrease, but the rebellion intensified. The people were displaced, resentment against the court grew, and almost every month, new rebellions broke out. ”
"The court has gradually lost control of various places, and the displaced people have fled in all directions, if they can be peaceful, it will be fine, if they are not peaceful, the displaced people will become new rebels."
All the people frowned, this is an unsolvable situation. In other words, Yang Guang used to disdain to solve it, but now, he can't solve it.
Not only that, but the ministers of the court and the central government were extremely dissatisfied with the Son of Heaven's disregard for the people of the world and his insistence on the northern expedition to Goguryeo. It is precisely for this reason that Yang Xuangan's rebellion will be supported by so many court lords and nobles, and even the people in the places where Yang Xuangan passes through regard him as a savior. Speaking of this, I paused, glanced at the three of them solemnly, and asked in a deep voice: "Such a great Sui, can it still be saved?" ”
"Before my father set out on the expedition, he warned my brother and I that the world was in turmoil, and the court was afraid that there would be no power to return to heaven. And if my brothers want to protect the safety of the Yang family......" Speaking of this, Yang Shidao's gaze fell on me. "Therefore, the teacher is here, first, to visit the virtuous brother, and second, to hope that the virtuous brother can have a good plan."
"Uncle has the grace of reinvention for Wuji, since the elder brother has spoken about this, then the younger brother will not be polite." I thought about it and nodded vigorously. "The Great Sui Dynasty is blowing in the wind and rain, and the world is about to be in chaos, and the only place that can avoid this wind and waves is Guanzhonger."
"If the brother is willing to listen to the younger brother's words, avoid Guanzhong, and see the general trend of the world changing, it is not too late to make a conclusion
Hearing my words, Li Shimin looked abrupt. "No wonder Brother Tai, you persuaded my mother to move to Guanzhong temporarily, the original reason is here."
I nodded. "Yes, the land of Guanzhong, for several dynasties, there have been few wars, and the wealth of Guanzhong is no less than that of Jiangnan, and it is located in a corner, so it can be a little peaceful. Although the land south of the Yangtze River is peaceful, it is finally too remote......"
"Little brother understands, thank you brother for your advice." Li Shimin saluted me with a straight face.
And Yang Shidao, who had been silent for a long time and had figured it out, also bowed deeply to me. After drinking it all, he smiled and said, "Thank you for teaching me." No wonder, the virtuous brother is not a state official, only a county order, and now he is recruiting displaced people, I am afraid that the virtuous brother is already preparing for the troubled times in the future, right? ”
"I said Brother Xian, then you mean that you have to retreat to Guanzhong for your brother?" Liu Hongji raised his thick eyebrows and said a little unwillingly.
"Yes, Luoyang, the eastern capital, seems to be peaceful at the moment, but it is located in Chong, and it is the eastern capital of the country. I nodded and replied.
"This brother also has such thoughts, but those brothers don't know if they are willing to do it." Liu Hongji couldn't help but have a headache.
"It's okay, anyway, brother, you can also keep some people in Luoyang temporarily, not to mention that our business has to go on as usual." I thought for a moment and replied.
"No wonder Brother Tai you are asking to open a branch everywhere, it seems that you have already started planning." Li Shimin stared at his son with envy and jealousy, well, who made my brain too good.
The world's major events, as if I am all in my control, every son and every time they do things, it is always confusing, but after thinking about it carefully, you will find that every step seems to be just right.
"Are you all unprepared? I don't believe it. "Ben Gongzi said happily, well, Ben Gongzi has reminded these guys repeatedly in the past two years, I believe that even if they are two, it is absolutely impossible for them to still be unconscious.
Yang Shidao laughed twice and then said with a smile: "Hehe, I'm ashamed to say that after my father returned to Goguryeo for the second time, he secretly told me and my brother to prepare. Today, a certain and his brother have purchased nearly 30,000 acres of land in Guanzhong and Jiangnan......"
"My family is about the same, but it's a pity that the horses brought by the caravans last year are all left." Li Shimin's expression was mixed with joy. "If there is chaos today, I don't know if the Turks in Ludao will be willing to do business with us."
"Yes, Brother Xian, the Turkic caravan is looking for you, do you know if the Turks will come?" Liu Hongji scratched his ears and cheeks. "Grandma's, the money is also there, it's better to get more good things to prepare, just in case."
"I don't know much about that. Still, it should come. "I really don't know how much this is true, I know very well how attractive spirits are to nomads, so as long as they can't brew it, they will definitely have to trade with me, but I can't say whether the Turkic caravan will come this year, and maybe it's a bandit who wants to snatch the brewing spirits.
Well, for the nomads, this son is fighting with a twelve-point spirit. Every time a Turkic caravan comes, this son will be very careful, and if he wants to visit the winery, it is simply a fool's dream, and even the transaction will not be placed near the winery, but directly pulled outside the city to trade.
No way, anyway, I don't believe in the credibility of these capricious guys, and I believe that the secrecy is done well enough, so that I can continue to maintain the advanced and exclusive brewing process.
Last year's trade made my son make a lot of money, but the problem is that this kind of trade method made the Turks very unsettled, and asked to visit my winery many times, and even asked for the price of 2,000 good horses in exchange for the recipe for winemaking.
Of course, Ben Gongzi refused, which made me even more convinced of how popular this strong wine was in the eyes of the Turks.
After last year's last trade, the Turkic caravan said that it would come over this year to trade. But it's really hard to say when the specific time is.
"If there is, please ask the brother to help and leave three hundred horses for the younger brother." Li Shimin hurriedly ordered the goods, Yang Shidao also asked for 400 horses, in addition, Liu Hongji asked for not much, there were 100 horses.
This son can only do a perfunctory and try to get them enough horses at the end of the year. Anyway, the horses that this son has already gotten in his hands don't want to take out for the time being. Ben Gongzi needs an elite cavalry elite, if there are too few, it will not be able to form a deterrent and impact force at all, then it will not work.
While eating, chatting, from the beginning of worrying about the country and the people, to later, the topic of discussion has changed to when the Great Sui will completely lose control of the place, and in a few years, the Great Sui Dynasty will be wiped out. It can be said that everyone is looking forward to the arrival of troubled times, and perhaps at that time, it will be the time when we young heroes will be brilliant.
The sun shines through the dense foliage, the spring flowers bloom with gorgeous petals, and bees and butterflies weave through the flowers, looking for their favorite food. The fresh air, with a hint of spring humidity, makes people feel that their hearts are wet all at once.
The young willow branches hanging down, the somewhat turbid river water in front of you, with a touch of green, slowly flowing through the river, swirling from time to time, a few boats, are floating on the river, a piece of fishing nets in the air, indicating a good harvest in spring.
I played the guitar gently, and what I played was still the "Dedicated to Alice" that I played that day, when I was recruiting relatives in the martial arts competition, but now it has been forcibly named "Xiangsi Song" by Yang Guang's old guy.
Li Yaoguang sat next to me, we touched each other, listening to the music flowing from my fingertips, Li Yaoguang squinted his eyes slightly, and the corners of his mouth happily curled up a beautiful arc, until the music stopped, Li Yaoguang's autumn eyes fell on the river and sighed softly: "I really want to be like this all the time, listening to the music you played, looking at the turbulent river, I feel like this, very quiet." ”
"Thank you, thank you, for me, you made up such a beautiful and beautiful song." Li Yaoguang turned his head, his eyes were full of satisfaction and joy.
"I'll write more tunes for you and play for you if you want." I looked at Li Yaoguang with a sweet and happy face, and in my heart, it seemed that someone was singing loudly. No matter what, as long as Li Yaoguang likes it, even if my son plagiarizes one or two thousand classic songs of later generations, it will be a problem.
