Chapter 43: Times Have Changed
As Yuan Xian proposed to see Yang Guang, Xiao Cong smiled and said, "Yuan Xiang, what do you want to see the King of Jin of the Great Sui?" I can tell you on my behalf, and if the other party has an idea to meet with you, I will arrange it. ”
"It's nothing, it's just that I have admired the name for a long time and want to see it."
"Okay, I will tell King Jin about this, if King Jin also has ideas, I will arrange it tonight."
Yuan Xian nodded and then said: "Your Excellency the Prince, the old man is already dying, and being able to be with a young man like you in his prime is to compete with the conversation, and I also feel younger." ”
"Yuan Xiang has lifted me, and being able to be with a wise person like Yuan Xiang has benefited us a lot."
After complimenting each other, today's peace talks will come to an end, and according to today's process, everything can be settled tomorrow.
Xiao Cong came to Yang Guang, and at this time, Yang Guangzheng and Xiao Ying were in Xiliang Bank, supervising the construction of the latest bank vault.
"Uncle, did the conversation go well today?"
Xiao Cong handed Yang Guang the amount of paper that Yuan Xian gave him that said it was the amount of money saved by the people in the group, and said, "Sure enough, as you expected, we want them to save money, and they actually save more than we thought." ”
Yang Guang smiled knowingly: "Things are going well." ”
"By the way, Yuan Xian said that he wanted to meet you, what do you think?"
Yang Guang thought for a while and said, "Let's meet when we meet, but not now, when you all have negotiated, I will meet him briefly on the dock when they want to go back." ”
"Okay."
……
Five days later, the weather had cooled down dramatically in the past few days, and Nan Chen's mission had reached its mission and was ready to return home, and Xiao Cong personally sent it to the port.
Yuan Xian was guided to another warship in Xiliang before boarding the ship.
As soon as he reached the deck, he saw a heavily armed sergeant, and a menacing man with a spear led him to the inside of the cabin.
In the cabin, the brocade-clothed young man sits, his eyes closed, and the brazier beside him keeps warm.
Handsome and heroic, this is the first word that Yuan Xian thought of when he saw the young man.
Li Feng guided Yuan Xian to sit down next to him.
"Yuan Gong, I heard that you want to see me."
"Your Excellency King Jin, I have heard of the name for a long time, and I have to see it."
"Yuan Gong Nantian is a pillar, it is really prestigious, it is better to see than to hear."
Greeting each other is always the best opening line.
After the unnutritious greetings, Yuan Xian asked very bluntly: "Your Excellency King Jin, Xiliang Bank must also belong to Your Excellency." ”
"Yes and no."
"Why do you say that?"
"I deposited a large amount of money into it, and Xiliang Bank also paid the New Year's currency to the Great Sui, and it was calculated that part of the Xiliang Bank should be from the Sui Dynasty, but for my own sake, if the Xiliang Bank belongs to the Great Sui Imperial Court, it is not my personal."
When Yang Guang said this, he should have made his words very clear, and an old guy like Yuan Xian could understand it instantly.
And in this way, Yuan Xian will not doubt it.
If Yang Guang flatly denied that Xiliang Bank was theirs, then Yuan Xian would inevitably be suspicious, whether there was some big conspiracy waiting for them, whether it was a bureau to embezzle their property.
Yang Guang's straightforwardness can dispel some doubts.
And Yang Guang once again used his identity as the king of Jin to say that self-interest is human nature, so that the doubts can be much less.
"His Excellency Prince Liang told me that if Nan Chen also supports Xiliang Bank and supports Xiliang's absolute neutrality, Xiliang Bank will also pay us New Year's coins, I don't know about this matter, has he discussed it with you?"
Yang Guang nodded and personally poured a cup of tea for Yuan Xian: "This matter was discussed with me, and I agreed." ”
"You and I have never had a good relationship between the north and the south, and not fighting is already the best relationship, how can such a thing be allowed."
"Yuan Gong, we have pacified the Turks, and the Turks are divided into two parts, the east and the west, and surrender to us respectively, do you know how many people in the court are shouting to beat you Nanchen at this time?"
Yuan Xian frowned slightly: "There must be a lot." ”
"Not a lot, but a lot, but I disagree with them, I feel that we can treat each other in a more peaceful way, and my thoughts seem to coincide with the thoughts of my father, so now I use Goguryeo in the northeast as an excuse to let me come over to deal with the affairs of Western Liang and Southern Chen."
"Then why did you send troops to attack our Poyang Port before?"
"Yuan Gong, you can't wronged a good person, I have no contradiction with the two traitors of the Xiao family, this is the internal affairs of the Xiao family, my son-in-law of the Xiao family is at most standing by and listening, and does not express his opinion, but my uncle and father-in-law want to wash away the shame of the family, and I am embarrassed not to give it if I want a gun or a gun."
"Besides, the purpose of the two of them is very clear, it is not possible to get rid of the traitor, I believe that from their point of view, Yuan Gong should be understandable."
Yuan Xian immediately asked, "What do you mean when you said that you plan to treat Nan Chen in a more peaceful way?" ”
"It's about the internal affairs of my court, so I won't talk about it in detail with Duke Yuan, Duke Yuan only needs to know that now that I am dealing with the relationship with Nan Chen, I won't take the initiative to beat the war between you and me, but if the court changes its attitude, it will be uncertain, after all, the general trend of the world, it will be together for a long time."
"The general trend of the world, if you divide for a long time, you will be together for a long time, and the king of Jin is so young, he actually has such insight."
"Yuan Gong praised it."
"King Jin, do you dare to promise that the money we have deposited in Xiliang Bank will not be embezzled by you."
"Why don't you dare, I, Yang Guang, can swear that I will never use my power to embezzle your assets, and I have no money to spend to this point, we are not short of money in Dasui, and I am not short of money."
Yang Guang smiled a little innocently: "It's just that I think there have been enough wars over the years, fighting internally, fighting externally, and now the people are looking forward to peace, and I am also looking forward to it, you say that fighting a war is just a dead person, fighting for land, grabbing money, if you can not fight, how good it would be." ”
"Your Excellency King Jin, benevolent and friendly, very admirable, the first time I have seen such a person as His Excellency King Jin in so many years, I don't know if His Royal Highness can reveal something, how do you plan to get along with our Da Chen next?"
"Yuan Gong just said it, and I still won't say it about internal affairs, but I also admire Yuan Gong's demeanor, and I am in a hurry at the port today, and I hope to visit Yuan Gong's mansion for tea in the future."
"I also want to have more contact with young talents."
"That's a word, if I come to Nanchen, Yuan Gong will have to entertain me well."
"If you have to set sail today, you won't bother Your Excellency King Jin."
When Yuan Xian walked out of the cabin and walked off the deck, Yang Guang stopped him.
He turned around and looked, Yang Guang smiled and said: "Yuan Gong, the people are looking forward to the prosperity of the family, the clan is looking forward to the prosperity of the clan, the courtiers are looking forward to the prosperity of the country, the world is prosperous, and those who are against it are perishing. ”
