Chapter Twenty-Three: The White Wolf with Empty Gloves
In the Southwest Hall, Mr. Bai and Zhao Zongshou sat opposite each other, and Mr. Bai said, "I heard that you want to see me?"
Zhao Zongshou said, "It's not that I want to see you, but I'm here to speak on behalf of Lord Shousuke. Let you do it for yourself."
Mr. Bai frowned and didn't speak, but the atmosphere suddenly became tense.
Zhao Zongshou said: "Butler Bai, let me tell you the truth, I am Zhao Zongshou, the Tusi of Longzhou, I can't get along in my hometown, I came to Beijing to seek an opportunity this time, and now I have found this opportunity."
Mr. Bai said, "That said, now Brother Zhao is doing things for Lord Shoufu?"
"Not bad." Zhao Zongshou said, "It's just that Lord Shoufu has a lot of opportunities, and I don't know how many people there are. The first thing I did was come to you. If this thing is done well, it will naturally be good, and if it is not done well, it will not be easy to do it in the future. Therefore, I also ask Brother Bai to help my younger brother."
Mr. Bai somewhat believed Zhao Zongshou's words at the moment.
Zhao Zongshou went to see He Xi, this Mr. Bai knew, but he didn't know what Zhao Zongshou said to He Xi.
Now that Zhao Zongshou said this, Mr. Bai was not without doubts in his heart, but after thinking about it in his heart, he felt that there was nothing wrong. He also believed fifty percent and said, "When you go out, the villagers take care of each other, that's natural. It's just, 'What does it mean to be self-sufficient?'
He Xi's words to Zhao Zongshou were naturally to Zhao Zongshou who suddenly came over.
But here in Zhao Zongshou, it is another explanation.
Zhao Zongshou said, "This time there are six banks, which one of the Mu family is involved?"
Mr. Bai was stunned for a moment and said, "It's not impossible. Although the family has some foundation, where is there so much money, and there are too many people in Suzaku Bank. When I went into the Mu family, I was even more subordinate to others. It's a no-go."
Zhao Zongshou naturally came prepared, he had already grasped a point. That is, Mr. Bai did not contribute to the competition of the six major banks.
This is also caused by the embarrassing situation of the Mu family.
Although the Mu family is also noble, it is located in the southwest and has a strong independence. There is always a little separation from the nobles of Nanjing. It is precisely because the Mu family has a strong independence that these noble stewards set up the Mu family to become the leader in Beijing. But in the real big thing, they don't care much about the Mu family.
Let the Mu family stand in the Vermilion Bird Bank, which is inconsistent with the Mu family's status among the nobles.
Of course, the Mu family refused.
As for other banks, they may not be willing to take the Mu family to play.
After all, Beijing is too far from the southwest.
The Mu family is far away from the mainland, and the power of the Mu family cannot be borrowed, and the Mu family's business is naturally greatly affected. Even many things in the Mu family are consuming the affection in the palace, which is not a good phenomenon.
Zhao Zongshou said, "Brother Bai, what song are you singing on what mountain? I don't need to tell you that. Shousuke is a little dissatisfied with this matter."
Butler Bai was slightly suspicious in his heart, and said secretly, "As for it?"
Butler Bai was actually a little suspicious of such a big figure as He Xi staring at this trivial matter.
Zhao Zongshou seemed to see the suspicions of the white butler, and said, "Of course, I am just here to pass the word, with the Mu family's affection in front of His Majesty, even if Brother Bai doesn't do anything, there will be nothing. It's just that it's hard to say in the future."
The white butler secretly said in his heart: "Let's go, that's right, this matter is something I owe to consider."
The white butler said, "Please also ask my brother for some advice, how to make Shoufu dissipate."
Zhao Zongshou said: "Naturally, he is involved in the bank. The favorite thing above is the obedient child, and this thing started because of the bank, and naturally ended because of the bank, isn't it a great good."
The white butler said, "Now the dust has settled. All six families have masters. I just want to start, and I don't know how to start, not to mention, I don't have a lot of money at home."
The Mu family's business in Beijing is actually one
Some street rents, some trade, and the monopoly of Beijing's goods to the southwest. Monopolize the goods from the southwest to Beijing. It was only after the war that this business was interrupted, and although the white housekeeper had other arrangements during this period, there was not much improvement. It can only be said that Beijing's economic development is very good, and some real estate in those years was rising.
The Mu family's property has also increased. But there are not many real livelihoods.
Zhao Zongshou said, "If Brother Bai can be trusted, I will help you go to Shanxi Bank for a trip. I must seek a stake for Brother Bai."
The Mu family made a move, and a percent share is a must, and if it is less than this amount, there is no need to mention it. After all, if you go to that bank in the name of the Mu family, you can get some shares.
Butler Bai said, "Then please Brother Zhao."
Zhao Zongshou said, "It's all for the imperial court."
------
A few days later.
He Xi checked the military plan sent from the south at home, which was the battle plan of the Northern Henan Campaign.
He Xi pondered it carefully and said secretly in his heart: "This battle is not too easy to fight."
Sheng Yong took advantage of the pause of the Northern Army to work hard to run Zhangde Mansion and Weihui Mansion, and led the Shanxi Army into Henan.
Defend along the Taihang Mountains.
In fact, the division of ancient Chinese provinces is very particular, and the northwest region of northern Henan is Taihang Mountain. The checkpoint into Shanxi was placed in Henan. Therefore, it cannot be said that there is no danger between Henan and Shanxi, but Henan has a bridgehead to enter Shanxi.
Now, Sheng Yong has given all these places to Shanxi, so that even if the northern army takes the plain area of northern Henan, it will also face the possibility of attacking Taihang Mountain. Otherwise, they will prevent the Shanxi army from coming out of the mountains and attacking them behind enemy lines.
In other words, Sheng Yong has already made strategic arrangements for the situation after giving up northern Henan.
Does this mean that this battle is easy to fight. Sheng Yong was ready to fail at the beginning.
Not.
Anyone who does not think about victory, first thinks about defeat, and the common sense of the soldiers. Sheng Yong has already thought about this. It can only be shown that Sheng Yong can ignore the victory and defeat and let go of his hands and feet.
Sheng Yong is valued by Fu Youde, and he still has some weight here.
In the battle of northern Henan, He Xi is estimated to win, but how many points to win, and in what form it will end, depends on the specific development.
However, He Xi paid attention to this matter. But not much attention was paid either. After all, the scale of this battle will not be too large, and the Northern Army will use at most one army. As for how much the Yugoslav army uses, it depends on them.
In general, it is not about the big picture. Even if it is defeated, it is nothing more than a retreat.
It's no longer the state of the river war.
He Xi put more attention on the center, after more than 100 million yuan arrived, almost all the parts wanted to divide the money, but how to divide this money is a university question. He Xi was also thinking. However, it is inevitable that most of this money will be spent on military spending, and if you want to spend it, it depends on where the strategic focus of the next war is.
At this time, Zhao Zongshou came to see him again.
He Xi didn't see it. However, Zhao Zongshou's letter of recital reached He Xi's hands.
When He Xi saw it, his heart suddenly moved.
This letter is a plan written by Zhao Zongshou, that is, with the help of the reputation of the Mu family, establish a trade route from the northwest to the southwest, and reserve enough materials in advance. Then send a cavalry army to raid, use these supplies as supplies, and go directly south to Xi'an.
It's very detailed.
He Xi pondered repeatedly, and even crossed the Yellow River from Datong and took several days to assault Xi'an, and wrote it all down where he spent the night. Zhao Zongshou also raised all kinds of details and gave solutions.
For a while, He Xi had a feeling that according to his method, he would be able to break through directly to Xi'an City without encountering any obstacles.
Let He Xi see it excitedly.
But then He Xi held back his heartbeat.
After all, he knows what it means to have a plan that can't keep up with change, and he knows what it is
As soon as the gun goes off, half of the plan is scrapped, which seems like a good plan, but in reality, it is too sophisticated. It's a mistake, and the following can't be connected. The fault tolerance rate is too low.
In a word, it's too much to take for granted.
However, this is not without its highlights. The biggest highlight is that the Mu family is involved.
