Chapter Seventy-Five: Playing Big Chess

Xu Zengshou's mind was slightly confused, and he immediately threw himself into the matter in front of him, and he said, "Mr. Yao, do you want us to destroy this matter?"

It's different from Xu Huizu.

Xu Zengshou wanted to defect to Beijing early on. The reason is simple, money.

Xu Huizu is the prince of Wei, he naturally maintains the system of monarchs and ministers, after all, there is an emperor, and only then can he be the prince of Wei. This may be another reason why Xu Huizu is loyal to the Zhu family. But Xu Zengshou is different.

Xu Zengshou, as Xu Da's son, naturally has an inheritance. But the Duke of Wei has nothing to do with Xu Zengshou.

No matter how much wealth there is, it can't compare to the status of the Duke of Wei.

Xu Zengshou naturally wanted to give it a go, and in history he chose King Yan, not only because King Yan was his brother-in-law.

It's the same now, he has a lot of industry in Beijing. He was the first to think that Beijing could make things happen. Especially with the connivance of his father, even more so.

After all, as Xu Da's son, he has special feelings for Xu Da.

The son generally worships, rebels, and faces up to his father. When I was a child, I admired it, I felt that my father was omnipotent, and I was very rebellious when I grew up, and I felt that my father was just like this, but when I matured, I found that my father was an ordinary person, and I was also an ordinary person, but I could understand my father.

But this is ordinary people. Xu Zengshou naturally had moments of admiration and rebellion against his father, but in the end, he found that he was an ordinary person, and his father was not an ordinary person. So the father returned to worship.

Even if Xu Da connived at his secret connection to Beijing, in his opinion, it was tacit approval. At least my father thinks that Beijing has the possibility of success.

It's just that you can't press all the Xu family.

In fact, Xu Zengshou has already had some contact with Beijing. It's more on the business side. In many things to give Beijing convenience. But that's just for the good karma. After all, Xu Zengshou actually doesn't have much resources in his hands to Beijing.

Although Beijing is not deep in Nanjing's intelligence network, everything that should be known knows it. For the rest, Xu Huizu is the Duke of Wei. And Xu Zengshou is not. The resources of the Wei Mansion were in the hands of Xu Huizu.

Even Xu Huizu was ready to defect to Beijing, but there were reasons for his persuasion.

He wholeheartedly wanted to make a contribution to this matter, and in the future, even if he could not be crowned a prince, he would have to have a knighthood. Passed down from generation to generation. So it's particularly positive.

Yao Guangxiao said, "Naturally not, I want you to cooperate. Cooperate with the greatest force."

Li Jinglong and Xu Zengshou said in unison, "What?"

They simply couldn't understand why Yao Guangxiao said that?

Yao Guangxiao hesitated for a while, he knew Li Jinglong. It is unlikely that Li Jinglong will act as a double agent. Tell your words to the Nanjing court. But what kind of person Xu Zengshou is, he doesn't know.

It is very likely that after Xu Zengshou found out, he would immediately tell the Nanjing Imperial Court.

However, he pondered for a while, and secretly said in his heart: "Yangmou is not afraid that Nanjing will know."

Even if the Nanjing Imperial Court knew, would he have any way? Money is needed to fight a war, and the more war you fight, the more money you need. Beijing's utilization of resources, finances in hand. If Nanjing does not reform, it will not be able to keep up at all. will appear, obviously Nanjing is a big place. But it just can't withstand Beijing's fight. It can't survive the situation in Beijing.

But if reformed. There will be all kinds of problems, all kinds of oppression by the advanced industrial countries on the agricultural countries.

It can be summed up in one sentence. That is, to be a comprador is to make money than to engage in industry. The impact of foreign industrial products passively bears the consequences of industrialization.

Yao Guangxiao then told He Xi's original concerns.

Li Jinglong and Xu Zengshou were taken aback, and Xu Zengshou said: "That is to say, the better Nanjing's industry is, the easier it is to make trouble below. The more money the court makes from industry, the greater the backlash below."

Yao Guangxiao said, "Exactly. In fact, no matter what kind of product, industrial production can be produced, and it is of good quality and low price. But what about the people who have made a living from it? It's going to be shocked."

Xu Zengshou said

"Isn't that a mistake for industrialization? Mr. Fang's insistence was right?"

Yao Guangxiao said, "When everything changes, there is a problem. Let's see if we can solve the problem. And if you look at the situation on the battlefield, do you think industrialization is not good for the country?"

After they are all nobles, there are some things that may not be clear, but the situation on the battlefield is very clear.

In fact, if it were not for the victory on the battlefield, Yao Guangxiao's work in Nanjing would not have been carried out so easily.

After all, these nobles only care about strength in nature.

Victory or defeat on the battlefield is the best demonstration of strength.

Li Jinglong said: "Okay, I will actively cooperate with Ding Xian in this matter. Coax Ding Xian."

Xu Zengshou said, "I naturally have no opinion, but I want to go back and talk to my eldest brother, there should be no problem."

Yao Guangxiao said, "Of course, there is another opportunity to make money, Cao Guogong-----

Li Jinglong immediately understood and told Xu Zengshou about the exchange of money.

Yao Guangxiao said, "I have seen Jiangning Town. But as an industrial zone, there are still many things to do, such as leveling the land, at least 100,000 taels of supporting construction. With the current situation of the Nanjing Imperial Court, how much money will it be used? Therefore, the exchange of money in the Nanjing court is about to begin. It's a great opportunity to make money."

Xu Zengshou said, "Okay, such a good opportunity, I naturally won't miss it."

Yao Guangxiao said, "If you can, you can gather more people. Of course, don't tell me exists, just make money alone."

The two nodded again and again, and the Duke of Wei and the Duke of Cao joined forces to change money, and there was almost no need to hide it. It's time to show the cards. What can Zhu Yunwen do with them? Fines for alcohol are only fines. It's very little more than the money earned.

It's just that Xu Zengshou is a little confused.

He was not prepared to be a female officer, and even at the cost of a great price, including giving up everything the Xu family had in Nanjing. But I didn't expect it, it seemed like I was here to do business. Defecting to Beijing, there are so many opportunities to make money first.

This was not at all what he had envisioned.

-------

Xu Huizu, who is also confused.

Xu Zengshou told him what happened to him in the Cao Guo Mansion. Xu Huizu was silent for a long time.

Xu Zengshou said, "Big brother, I can't figure it out a little. What the hell am I doing?"

Xu Huizu said, "In my opinion, Mr. Fang's idea is right, He Xi's change is too dangerous and not the right way. Now it seems that this is indeed the case, and if this is done, there will be such a big problem, and if his practice is spread throughout the country, I don't know what kind of chaos will be there."

Xu Huizu didn't care much about the dispute between He Xi and Fang Xiaoru. But as soon as I heard it, I understood that industrialization had brought such a big side effect. brought so many problems to the people, and suddenly felt that what Fang Xiaoru said was right.

Xu Zengshou said, "What does the eldest brother mean? Don't listen to Mr. Yao?"

"Mr. Fang is dead." Xu Huizu said.

Xu Zengshou didn't know what to say for a while.

Xu Huizu was silent for a while, and said, "Do, use all the strength of the Xu family to support Ding Xian in doing things. Actually, I told the prince about these things. It's just that I didn't understand some of the prince's words at the beginning. Now I understand it."

Xu Zengshou said, "What did the prince say?"

Xu Huizu said: "The prince said that the biggest lesson of the Northern Song Dynasty is that such a thing as changing the law is either not done or done, and you must not do it for a while, back and forth. That is the greatest harm to the world. And today the situation is irreversible. The change is a foregone conclusion. We can't change the situation, we can only try to do it. I hope these are really what He Xi said, the so-called labor pain."

At this moment, Xu Huizu had a very bad impression of He Xi.

Although he knew that He Xi had such a layout, it was almost certain that he would definitely be able to defeat Nanjing.

He clearly understood that Ding Xian and He Xi were not at the same level of talent at all. square

Xiaoru can also communicate with He Xi at the same level. But Ding Xian can't be compared with He Xi at all.

He Xi's layout was beyond Ding Xian's imagination.

Victory or defeat can be determined.
