Chapter 773: The Real Reason
Li Congjia said: "In fact, as early as more than a year ago, when my father sent troops to Xuzhou, my father had long expected that he might not be able to win this time, but such a good opportunity to unify the world, he could not give up." So he opened a gambling game, with the slogan of all the people enjoying together, making the world rich, if Da Zhou loses the war, as long as Da Tang wins the war, our army will naturally loot it, but if Da Zhou wins, his father will be able to get back part of the losses from these gamblers. The gamble was opened by the father, and it was no surprise that everyone bought Da Zhou and lost. ”
Zong Xin said depressedly: "It's cheap enough...... He opened a gambling game, and he deliberately lost so that he could make a big profit. ”
"It can't be said that no emperor would deliberately lose a war of such importance for some money. Li Congjia said: "My father just bought a double insurance, and if he wins, everyone will be happy." If it loses, the treasury will not lose much, at least some can be recovered. So this gamble is not intentional, it's just that there is no way to prepare a way back for yourself. ”
Zong Xin nodded, this method is really good. If he wins, everyone is happy, and Li Jing is happy even if he loses. As long as the Great Zhou is destroyed, he can unify the world, and Li Jing, a small neighboring country, will not take it seriously, and it is only a matter of time before the Northern Han and Western Shu are eliminated. So Li Jing would rather lose by himself.
But if this war is lost...... Li Jing can recover some of the losses and even fill the treasury. And this is a confrontation with a huge disparity in strength, almost everyone will buy Da Zhou and lose, so Li Jing can even make a lot of money by his defeat. As long as this gambling game is opened, whether he wins or loses, it is a good thing for Li Jing, just a big and a small one.
"Sure enough, it's an old fox, in this case, a war that is guaranteed to be won and not lost, and he doesn't forget to leave a way back for himself before he goes out. But does this matter have anything to do with the fall of the Dugu Valve?"
Li Congjia said: "Dugu Huang also participated in this gamble, he is your father-in-law after all, so my heart is towards you." He bought Da Zhou and lost, and he bought a lot...... It is almost half of the industry of Dugu Valve. ”
"He can also be regarded as looking for me if he buys Da Zhou and loses?"
What he means is that if the Great Zhou army is defeated, you can go back to Dugu Valve to eat soft rice, so Dugu Huang is ready to take advantage of this opportunity to make a big profit. Li Congjia said: "But Duguhuang bought too much, and my father is afraid that he can't afford to lose, because the odds of losing when buying Da Zhou is half of a loss." You also know the power and financial resources of Dugu Valve, Dugu Huang is too ruthless, and his father is unwilling to accept Dugu Huang's bet. Dugu Huang is not reluctant, others can buy it, why can't he Dugu Huang buy it? The two almost quarreled on the Golden Palace, and finally Dugu Huang gambled on one of his arms, and my father reluctantly agreed. ”
Zong Xin said depressedly: "There are still such people in the world? Isn't this sending money to Li Jing? He didn't think about the possibility that Guo Wei would win? Although there was a huge difference in strength at that time, but Da Zhou was guarded by me, and it was not so easy to win against Guo Wei." ”
"Under the circumstances at that time, Guo Wei's chance of winning was almost zero, and you also knew the situation at that time, no matter who commanded this war, it would definitely be defeated, so your father-in-law would have such great confidence to dare to gamble so much money and add his own hand. But you also know the ending, it was you who caused Duguhuang to lose half of the industry, and there is still a hand. But at that time, Dugu Feng came to his father to intercede, and was willing to exchange the other half of Duguvale's property for Dugu Huang's hand, and my father naturally agreed. So the whole thing has nothing to do with my father, it was Duguhuang himself who lost all the property. The whole process is fair, just, and open, Duguhuang was sent to the door by himself, and he has to gamble on it...... We can't help it. Originally, this gamble was for two purposes, either to have fun or to stop losses, do we take the initiative to deny this gamble?"
After hearing this, Zong Xin frowned, was silent for a long time, and then said, "There is really no coercion and temptation?"
"Heaven and earth conscience, Master Zongxin, don't you still believe me? If you don't believe me, you can ask Dugu Huang yourself, I promise that the situation that comes out of his mouth is exactly the same as mine. However, the gambling game about Dugu Huang has not been made public, my father would rather be looked down upon than disclose the reason why he got the Dugu valve industry, after all, as one of the four major valves, it is too embarrassing for Dugu Huang to lose all the industries like this, my father has not made it public, and ordered the Manchu Dynasty civil and military not to say this matter to the outside world, otherwise the whole house will be beheaded, and my father will already be benevolent and righteous. ”
Zong Xin turned his head and said, "Otherwise, let's go back, it's already okay here." ”
"Xianggong...... That's not the end in the first place, it doesn't matter what the reason is. Dugu Xingyue also felt that his face was dull, if Dugu Huang lost all his family property because he gambled that Zongxin could win this battle, he did give Dugu Xingyue a long face, and the result was ...... How could he lose Zongxin and lose? Dugu Xingyue really couldn't figure it out.
"It's the same father-in-law, why is there such a big difference? Guo Wei will never doubt me, your father actually bet on me to lose. ”
Dugu Xingyue said: "Guo Wei had no choice at that time, he only had you as a life-saving straw, of course, he could only put all his hopes on you." If Guo Wei and my father are allowed to switch positions, he may not bet on you to win......"
Dugu Xingyue is still quibbling, but what he said is still very useful in his faith in the sect, no matter how you look at the situation at that time, Da Zhou will die. Zong Xin's ability to turn the tide is also based on some luck, not to mention Guo Wei, if things didn't fall on his head at that time, even he would lose the Great Zhou Dynasty.
Li Congjia said: "Master Zongxin, the relationship between Dugu Valve and our dynasty is not as bad as it is rumored by the outside world, but the people of Dugu Valve are ...... Character is hard to say. But our army has just suffered a defeat, not only has the loss of so many troops, but the treasury has also been almost exhausted, such a fat meat, and it was sent to the door by himself, can my father not want it? It is impossible to make him vomit out, but my father is still very worried that the people of the Dugu Valve will come to him for revenge. So although my father swallowed Dugu Valve, his life was not easy. ”
"I understand this, if it were someone else, your father might have sent troops to exterminate them a long time ago, but your father didn't dare to send troops to Dugu Valve, even if he ran away, it would be a lifelong disaster, and he would have to keep one eye open even when he slept in the future, not to mention your father, all people surnamed Li would worry about this problem. But it will not be good for your father to continue the stalemate, he knows that Dugu Huang will definitely go to him...... Dugu Huang may not dare to cut off one of his hands in exchange for half of Duguvale's industry. ”
"Exactly. Li Congjia said: "So Master Zongxin, this matter is really hard to say, you take the people of the Dugu Valve away, my father may not be at ease with the people of the Dugu Valve leaving his control, but he does not dare to control these masters of the Dugu Valve all the time." ”
"Well, it's a trivial matter. Zong Xin chuckled and said: "My Zong Xin can guarantee with his reputation that as long as your father does not let the price of grain increase, then the people of Dugu Valve will not retaliate against him." You go and talk to your father, just say that I went to Dugu Valve, if he wants, let's talk to him once to see if he has the courage. I promise that both parties will be satisfied with this matter. Everything in Dugu Valve belongs to Li Jing, as long as the people who let Dugu Valve leave safely, I will make Dugu Huang swear a poisonous oath that he will never make a move on someone surnamed Li. At the same time, he also asked Li Jing to promise that he would never raise grain prices during his lifetime. ”
"Will Duguhuang agree?" Li Congjia couldn't believe it.
Now Dugu Huang is consuming with Li Jing, in fact, he is not willing to hand over all the properties of Dugu Valve, but now these industries are nominally Li Jing's. Dugu Huang wanted to be cheeky, cut off his arm, and asked Li Jing to return the remaining half to him.
If Dugu Huang was allowed to give up the entire Dugu Valve unconditionally, it would be absolutely impossible for him to agree. Dugu Valve has been running the industry for several generations, and if it just declines, it will be nothing, let him hand over all this property to others in the most prosperous period? and leave the house with his family? How can this kind of thing happen? Unless, ......
Li Congjia analyzed it carefully, and then asked: "Master Zongxin, don't you have a more profitable business than salt, and you are ready to let Dugu Huang run it." ”
"Sure enough, I do have a good deal, not more profitable than Yandao, at least I can let Dugu Valve not lose too much, maybe I can save half, or even more. In fact, this business is also related to food, which is winemaking. Zong Xin immediately gave Tianya a look, and Tianya took out two small wine bottles from his bag.
Zongxin deliberately said that this business was very valuable and profitable. But the value in his mouth was far from what he expected. can't say that this business is too profitable, otherwise Li Jing will not let him go.
And Zong Xin said this, which also shows that he is deliberately boasting, in Li Congjia's ears, although this business is profitable, it can't make so much money. It's not that Li Congjia underestimated Zongxin, it's just that he thinks that there is no more profitable business in the world than Yandao, and when he saw Tianya take out two wine bottles from his bag, he probably guessed that Zongxin was talking about the business of winemaking.
You can make a lot of money by making wine, even if you tire people to death, making a wine cellar in one place, and then making wine at the same time, the money you can make is very limited. After all, the material for brewing is grain, and the price of liquor is only a little higher than the price of grain, because most people will make their own wine, and the taste of the brew is similar, and ordinary people can't drink it well.
However, Li Congjia knew Zongxin's intentions, since Dugu Valve would grow food, let Dugu Valve grow his own grain, and then make wine by himself, which would save a lot of costs. But in fact, this is also Zongxin's deliberate money to make Duguhuang make a comeback. But how many years does it take to develop a grain field and a winery into the current power of Dugu Valve?
