Chapter 118: Undercurrents are surging
The woman and the group said goodbye, Wang Zhiwei sighed and said...... "The matter has come to this, what can I do...... Brother Wen, if there are no hole cards, my bluffing second son of the Wang family can only stoop to the thief and swallow his anger! β
The bead curtain flashed, Song Wen walked out of the room with Xiaofuzi, and then sat on the woman's seat just now and nodded: "The general trend is natural, and I am already grateful for Brother Wang's openness and silent support!"
Wang Zhiwei nodded with a complicated expression: "There is really no room for a turnaround?"
Song Wen thought about it carefully: "No, but I didn't expect to make so much money by myself in Bianliang to do this!" Bianliang ...... After all, it's not a place for a small person like me to show his strength! β
Wang Zhiwei's eyes lit up, he looked at Song Wen and asked, "Could it be that you have other businesses outside Bianliang?"
"Taiyuan, Zhending Mansion...... Qingzhou! In the past six months, I have arranged manpower rental yards and shops in these three places to quietly run warehouses and commercial houses, just to market the fire spring and some special commodities to the entire Beidi and Liaoguo! I know that the Wang family firm of the Daimyo Mansion has a huge amount of trade with the Liao people in the northern land Rongchang, and it also holds a number of private business routes to the Liao State through Zhending Mansion...... So, after leaving Bianliang, I want to make my business bigger! I have to join forces with Brother Wang ......"
Wang Zhiwei was dumbfounded...... "You, you have long planned to leave Bianliang?" Turns out you've been planning for this day......"
Song Wen shook his head: "I originally thought that I could make quick money in Bianliang for another three or two years, after all, my foundation is too shallow. The teenagers under him are not yet adults...... However, the greed and shamelessness of the magnates in the Great Song Dynasty were still beyond my expectations, so I was forced to start operating in the Northland in advance. β
Wang Zhiwei nodded: "How many people do you have in your hands who can walk outside?"
Song Wen frowned: "I scattered tens of thousands of taels of silver on Hebei Road, and I only arranged a caravan of less than 100 people...... In the past few months, grain and cloth have been trafficked back and forth to the markets in Qingzhou. β
Wang Zhiwei lowered his head and pondered for a while, then suddenly raised his head and asked, "The Daimyo's Mansion and the newly opened Four Seas Chamber of Commerce in Taiyuan...... Isn't it yours? β
Song Wen was stunned for a moment, then smiled...... "It seems that Wang Gongzi is not so cynical and idle on the surface...... With this intelligence information, I'm afraid it's not inferior to the Wang family! Yes, the Four Seas Chamber of Commerce is below. β
"Your fire burning spring is definitely no longer marketable in Bianliang, and the crime of selling tribute privately is not small! How sure are you that you can sell to Liao? β
Song Wen smiled, and suddenly untied a gorgeous and exquisite short knife from behind his waist! The two guards behind Wang Zhiwei immediately leaned forward and became nervous...... Wang Zhiwei waved his hand slightly dissatisfied to let the guards relax, and then carefully looked at the short knife inlaid with beautiful jade gems...... "This, can it be ...... This is the ......"
"Yes, this is the knife that the second son of the king of the Southern Courtyard of the Liao Kingdom, Brother Yelu Mountain, lost to me that day!"
Wang Zhiwei asked, "Brother Yelu Mountain has an agreement with you?" Is it said that your goods are to be sold to Liao by his hand? β
Song Wen nodded: "Yes, after all, I am the only one in the world who has the real number one spirit in the world...... Burn Spring! The Liao court needed money, countless money...... The Liao Army's Leather Room Army had decayed, and the war with the Jurchens in the Northland had begun to drain the Liao State's vitality, and the Great Song Dynasty was now becoming more and more hostile to them! The Yelu people are not fools, and their own emperor cannot count on ...... They will accumulate their own strength, so Yelushan's father, Yeluqi, the king of the Southern Court of Liao, will do whatever it takes to collect money and subsidize the army loyal to him! Not only will I sell Huozhuochun to those Liao nobles who are drunk and dreaming of death, but I will also open a paradise in the city of Nanjing in the Great Liao...... Brother Yelu Shan promised me to collect the beauties of the Mongolian Rakshasa Goryeo Kingdom in the Western Regions and give me a house, and let me run the world's first Qinglou Chu Pavilion, since those nobles of the Liao Kingdom have nothing but drunken dreams and death, let them contribute all the silver to strengthen the army! β
Wang Zhiwei pondered for a long time, and said softly: "After all, you are a Song person, so sit back and watch the king of the Southern Courtyard of the Liao State hold a strong army and horses...... Isn't it turning your back on your fathers? β
Song Wen smiled lightly and said, "Wang Gongzi also thinks that the Great Song Dynasty can take advantage of the weakness of the Liao State to expand its territory and recapture the shame of the sixteen states of Yanyun?"
"The Jurchens are in turmoil, and the Liao people are too busy to take care of themselves...... It's not a secret that the imperial court officials want to expand their territory, isn't it? β
"If the Great Song Dynasty really has the ability to defeat the Liao State, why not settle the Western Xia and solve this worry first?"
"The Western Army will naturally go north at that time, and the Western Xia has been embarrassed all these years, and has been beaten by Tong Guan so much that he can't raise his head......"
Song Wen shook his head: "The three-legged tripod is the most stable, and the Liao State has not even gone south to fight the grass valley in these years." But it would be a big joke if the Great Song Dynasty thought that the Liao State was weak enough to attack at will...... Besides, is the current Western Army of the Great Song Dynasty still the Western Army of fifty years ago? Also, it is possible that it will not be long before the Western Army will have no time to look north...... Jiangnan is rich in grain and wealth, and I am afraid that the imperial court will never tolerate a big mess! β
Wang Zhiwei was puzzled: "Jiangnan? What will happen to Gangnam? Are you saying that there will be changes in Jiangnan, and the imperial court can only send the western army to suppress it? Where did you get the news? β
Song Wen smiled...... "Jinling, Yangzhou, Hangzhou...... My sworn enemy, the mysterious owner of Zixuan Tower, is a mysterious wealthy businessman entrenched there! There is this kind of handiwork to bribe and win over half of the powerful and traitorous ministers of the imperial court...... What do you think they want? β
Wang Zhiwei stood up in disbelief, pointed at Song Wen and said, "The matter is so big, you can't frame it indiscriminately because of your own personal vendetta!" It'sβit's a big deal......"
Song Wen sneered: "Over the years, your eldest brother has tried his best to bring the business of the Ying Tianfu Wang family to Jiangnan, and once Jiangnan changes...... Your eldest brother's foundation will be ruined, and once you have the ability to turn the tide and rescue most of the Wang family's wealth in Jiangnan, you will be the first hero of the Ying Tianfu Wang family! When the time comes, you will hand over the Wazi Street business of Bianliang, which is dispensable and has an inexplicable connection with the anti-thieves...... Take advantage of the situation and ask the family to hand over all the business of the Northland to you, this is the best time for the two of us to join forces! β
"You mean, the Li family behind Zixuan Tower...... Will there be a rebellion in Gangnam? β
"It will be others who rebel, but the Li family's financial resources should be one of the biggest support forces for the rebels......"
"Who else will support Jiangnan's anti-thieves to become bigger?"
Song Wen pursed his lips and pointed in the direction of the palace...... "Who else?" Zhu Mian, Cai Jing, Liang Shicheng...... Li Yan, Wang Huang, and the majestic Gen Yue, and the current Jiangnan realm is rampant and domineering! β
"...... Blossom Stone?"
Wang Zhiwei was extremely shocked, but he was still full of disbelief!
"There is no evidence for your words! If this is really the case, the deep meaning behind Zixuanlou's Li family's bribery of important ministers of the imperial court is too terrifying! β
"So I persuaded Wang Gongzi to get out as soon as possible, why not transfer the business to the owner of Zixuan Mansion at a high price after half a year, and then secretly plan how to rescue the Wang family's wealth in Jiangnan...... Since the private business in the Northland is not valued by your eldest brother, how about taking the first step and secretly collecting some of it? Half a year from now, if everything I say today will come true, how about the two of us joining forces again to do this big business? β
Wang Zhiwei looked at Song Wen in front of him deadly, and sighed for a long time before he sighed...... "I don't know why, as soon as I see you, I feel like I will be persuaded by you...... Do you think I believe in you too much? It stands to reason that you are now being rectified to the point that you can't even stay in Bianliang...... I should wholeheartedly cooperate with the Li family of Zixuanlou, why should I believe your nonsense? β
Song Wen shrugged: "Do you believe it or not, I can't do business without you?"
Wang Zhiwei hesitated for a long time, slapped the table...... "Well, I'll believe you again!" β
