First Arrival in Yancheng Chapter 37 Undercurrent

Sima Liang handed the holy decree to the third son.

Then he gave Liu Dongyang an order to start transporting salt.

One ship after another sailed to the west.

The leading boat was planted with the flag of the Feng family. Feng Si stood at the bow of the boat and beckoned when he saw Sima Liang.

After a symbolic wave in return, Sima Liang turned around.

"It's all around." He exclaimed.

The three of them stood behind him, staring straight at him.

"Your Highness, my master still has a few more ocean-going ships. It can be lent to His Highness unconditionally, including the silk in the hands of the master's family, or it can be traded to His Highness at a reasonable price. I just want to let the master participate in the first month of trade. ”

Shi Hu was the first to greet him.

After he finished speaking, Rong Yang followed closely behind.

"Your Highness, I don't have many ships, but I have some fine tea, which can be transferred to you at a low price. I just want to let the few small boats of the Rong family be able to send them to the country of Qi. ”

……

The flattering appearance of the two made Sima Liang feel a little funny. I thought: I can really let it go, and I made a statement so quickly.

Lu Qiu on the side, watching the allies who were still negotiating yesterday defect, did not disdain. After all, the form is forced, if it weren't for his own consideration, it is estimated that he would be the first to succumb.

Several major families are not hard bones. They have today, and they are also profit-oriented.

They know that getting through the present is the most important thing, and only after crossing this hurdle can they talk about the future.

Among them, Rong Yang and Shi Hu's behavior is for stop loss and profit.

And Lu Qiu has long been out of the luxury of profit. Now stopping the decline of the Lu family is his only purpose.

After hearing the silk franchise in the holy decree, he knew that this was Sima Liang's real set.

Lu Dashao's dog not only bought a high-priced silk of 5W taels. I also signed a 3W tael of satin, and the deposit was paid 1W tael. Coupled with the original purchased inventory, according to the original market price, there is also a nearly 10W tael of silk.

Silk is easy to sell in the country, even if there are a lot of shots at a time, the price will not be much lower, but it will be two months later.

Time represents variables, Sima Liang is here, Yancheng has made so many things in a month. Give the other party another two months to prepare, and the Lu family will be even more dangerous.

Does Sima Liang have a backhand? Lu Qiu definitely didn't dare to bet. It is not easy for the Lu family to have today, and he doesn't want to be buried in his own hands.

Accept it, this Yan Wang is not good at stubble, and the other two are not concentric. My Lu family will lose money, at least there is one acre and three points of land. He thought to himself.

Lu Qiu looked at the two people who were close to Sima Liang's sycophants.

He was not in a hurry to step forward and walked to a position where the other party could see him. While smiling gently, he clasped his hands and saluted.

It seems that I have figured it out, let me see how much the Lu family is willing to pay. Sima Liang thought secretly. He knew that the other party was showing weakness and giving in.

Temporarily stopping Rong Yang and Shi Hu's nonsense, Sima Liang walked in front of Lu Qiu.

He looked at the other and smiled.

Lu Qiu bowed when he knew the times.

"Your Highness, the silk in the hands of the Lu family, and the contract with the Sheng family. I will transfer all of them to you at the original market price. If you don't have that much cash, we can make a contract and give it slowly. At the same time, several large ships at home can also be given to His Highness. I just hope that Your Highness will help the Lu family. ”

Hearing his words, Sima Liang was a little surprised. I thought: This old Lu is so big. Then I'm not going to be able to kill it, so I'll just accept it when I see it.

He stepped forward and grabbed Lu Qiu's hand and smiled.

"I've also heard about the Lu family's situation. I deeply regret it. I won't change anything on the trade side, as long as the Lu family is legal and compliant. ”

Lu Qiu looked excited, and held Sima Liang's hand.

"With your words, I am relieved."

Rong Yang and Shi Hu glanced at each other. Although there is no change on the surface, the two people who are scolding the acting in their hearts are so deep in the city.

At this point, Sima Liang's plan went smoothly and there were no accidents.

He planned to rest for a few days before planning the Shi family and the Rong family.

After all, it has only been announced now, and Sima Liang has received a lot of benefits from others. Although I don't plan to let go of the other two, I will still give them a few days of respite.

After a few people expressed their sincerity, they left after patting their sycophants.

Sima Liang stood beside the wharf, watching the salt ships move one after another.

"Next year, half of this place will be mine."

After being distracted for a while, Sima Liang also left the dock area.

Originally, he didn't have any substantive work, and he could leave after showing his face. Just leave the rest to Junko.

With the last big guy gone. The lively crowd gradually dispersed.

Slowly, except for the blockaded dock area, everything returned to its former state.

On the day of salt release, it will be lively in the morning.

Although it is only one day a year, the benefits in it are somewhat distant from the ordinary people. For them, it's just a momentary conversation.

In a teahouse next to the pier.

The girl dressed as a man looked at where Sima Liang was standing just now and pondered for a long time.

Even if she put away her hair and didn't wear heavy makeup, her delicate appearance didn't look like a man at all, more like a eunuch.

Plus I don't know if it's a love of beauty, or negligence.

The seductive blush at the corners of his mouth ruled out the possibility of eunuchs.

Zhu Lip gently took a sip of the tea cup, leaving a faint lip print.

After a delicate sigh.

The girl looked at Rong Yang opposite.

"This Yan King, it's not simple. King Ning, who originally thought that he was in trouble, is gone, and we still have some opportunities. But now it seems that this son is even more than his uncle, and it is all better. ”

Rong Yang was very restrained and didn't dare to look directly at the girl.

"So are we going to wait? But this King Yan is not like King Lao Ning. He was only 20 years old, young and strong. This will have to wait until the Year of the Monkey. "He was worried.

The girl looked out the window and tapped her fingers on the table at the same time.

After a moment of silence, she looked at Rong Yang again.

"Being young is both an advantage and a disadvantage. Maybe you can start by your side and try to set him up. Now he has just arrived, plus the withdrawal of King Ning's forces. As long as it happens, he is the best shield. Maybe it can make our plans smoother. ”

Compared with the boldness of the girl, Rongyang is much more timid. He looked nervous and pursed his lips frequently.

"Wouldn't it be too dangerous?"

The girl glanced at Rong Yang. I thought: Does this product not want to rebel?

She snorted coldly and warned the other party.

"Time waits for no one, the Yan Kingdom has been destroyed for forty years, and it will be three generations soon. If you don't think about it, Yan Guo is really going to disappear in Yancheng. ”

"I'm afraid that the Rong family is not used to enjoying comfort, and they don't want to go to their homeland."

The girl looked at Rong Yang with fascinated eyes.

In one sentence, I tell what I think. Rong Yang was a little flustered. I thought: Life is really good now, why do you keep thinking about that Yan Kingdom.

"Then let you decide."

was debunked by the other party, and he could only echo it.

The Rong family has come to this day because of the support of the remnants of the royal family of Yan State.

In addition, the other party's forces are secretly, Rong Yang said no, and it is estimated that he will disappear tomorrow.

From the outside world's point of view, the Rong family is the last of the three major families, but the real situation is different from what I see.

In addition to the forces on the enlightened side, the Rong family also has many forces in the dark. These bits and pieces add up to the real first family in Yancheng.

Even so, in the face of the forces of the former Yan State that had been secretly plotting for forty years, they still had no power to resist.

As for why the rebel forces didn't take action, it would be involved in the struggle for the crown twenty years ago.

In that battle, they saw the terrifying strength of the Li State and the methods of the current emperor.

It was also after that that that the forces of the Yan Kingdom did not dare to act rashly. Coupled with the arrival of King Ning, they finally retreated into darkness and hibernated for twenty years.

"How do you get to him? Who should go? The surname Sima is not easy to deal with. ”

The girl touched her slightly pointed chin, a little troubled.

Seeing that the other party looked serious, Rong Yang could only help with advice.

"In a few days, the Yanwang Mansion will also be repaired. When the time comes, a wave of subordinates, as well as government officials, will be recruited. I think it would be easier at that time. ”

Speaking of this, Rongyang's eyes suddenly lit up.

"By the way, this Yan Wang is a womanizer, and it is best to think of it as a woman with good looks. Previously, he came to Yancheng in advance, and the first thing he went to was Fengyue Tower, and then he played with the Qinglou woman for two days before going to Feng's house. After arriving in the Tang Mansion, he often traveled with several women. ”

"? It's a point that can be used. The girl nodded, indicating that she had written it down.

In broad daylight, in a densely populated teahouse.

The two are plotting something against the grain.

But if you see the signboard of the Rongjia Teahouse, you will know the reason.

It is estimated that most of the people who stay in the teahouse are the same people. Naturally, no one cares about the content of the words, or the girl's dress.

At the same time, escorting the convoy of the Holy Decree. Docked in the west of the city, in a remote place.

There was an extra carriage among them.

"Your Royal Highness Princess, the prince is ready, just wait for tomorrow."

The little eunuch who had read the holy decree before knelt down in front of the third princess.

The third princess waved her hand and motioned for the other party to get up.

"Where did Gonggong Zhao go, shouldn't he have come this time? If he were there, I could have asked about the second decree. ”

The little eunuch looked embarrassed and hesitated

"Zhao's father-in-law's whereabouts are not clear, it is estimated that he has traced the whereabouts of the illicit salt."

"Is Father really planning to intervene?" The third princess was surprised.

"Your Majesty told the minions that he would not intervene in the dispute over the storage position. But he will not allow you to resell official salt as private salt. If His Majesty finds out again, he will really be angry. And ......" The little eunuch looked at each other uneasily.

"Say it."

"Your Majesty said, you fight and fight, but don't really hurt each other, this is the bottom line that he pretends to be invisible. If this happens, even if you are married, Your Majesty will not let it go. ”

As soon as these words came out, the third princess stared at the little eunuch.

After a long time, her tense face relaxed, and she began to think about the other party's words.

The little eunuch, who was stared at and couldn't breathe, took the opportunity to take a big breath.

"It seems that I can't hide anything from my father." The third princess sighed.

There was silence for a while.

"You go first, I'll find someone to bring a message to the prince if there is something."

"Yes, Your Highness."

When the little eunuch left the carriage, the third princess looked at her slender fingers and began to calculate.

"It's easy to handle the private salt thing, I've stopped anyway."

"But this can't make a big fuss, and it can't directly hurt other princes."

"Even if the sixth brother is allowed to make a move, my father will find out that I did it."

"So what to do?"

"And before tonight, we have to figure out the results."

The third princess looked troubled, and the conditions for coming to the emperor were very harsh.

Compared with the planning of the two women, Sima Liang is much easier.

He stayed in a teahouse next to the pier and looked at Nanhu with satisfaction.

"Your Highness, I already knew. Deliberately waiting for this day, right? King Sheng looked at Sima Liang with a smile on his face.

"Yes."

Now Sima Liang doesn't have to hide anything, after all, it's hindsight time.

King Sheng pondered the results of Sima Liang's plan, and the more he thought about it, the happier he became.

"At least in the next two months, the three will also stop for a while. The vitality of the Lu family was greatly damaged, and the reputation was damaged, and it didn't take two or three years to become a climate. ”

"It's a pity that Feng Si wants to deliver salt, I'm afraid I won't be able to come back until tomorrow. Feng Qi also has to look at the shipyard, and they can only celebrate together tomorrow. ”

"There's no hurry, there's still two months of calm. What we have is time to celebrate. ”

"Yes."

Hahaha.
