Chapter 103: Strange goods are not easy to live in
A competition that should have been blood-pumping ended like this, not to mention the loss of Song Qingshu being picked up high and then falling down, Li Huangshan's chagrin after self-defeating, and the extremely envious look in everyone's eyes when they looked at Zhao Yu.
Tang Yang stood in the distance to greet Zhao Yu, gave a thumbs up and said, "Then Li Huangshan provoked the chief flag envoy, but it was really a chicken steal." The general flag envoy played with Song Qingshu like this, it was better to show his name directly to make him comfortable. ”
Zhao Yu patted his bulging waist and said with a smile: "The carving insect skill has been rusty for a long time." After that, I'm afraid there won't be much chance to use it. ”
The two laughed and talked all the way back to the thatched hut prepared for them by Li Jiabao, and as soon as they sat down, Tang Yang said: "It seems that this Li Huangshan should be supported by the Wudang faction and want to do something in southern Anhui." This plan is also clever, at present, most of the powerful rebel armies are concentrated in the north of the river, but the south of Anhui is still blank. The Tartar court is beyond the reach of the whip, and if they can succeed in raising an incident, no one will be able to stop them in the short term. ”
Zhao Yu pondered for a moment before he said: "What is debatable is how deeply the Wudang faction is entangled in it, although Song Qingshu is an outstanding figure in the three generations of Wudang, it is not enough to represent the entire Wudang faction. And with Zhang Sanfeng's experience and resourcefulness, he should be able to recognize clearly that only by staying out of it can the Wudang faction maintain a detached posture. If he has the heart to act righteously, it should not be Song Qingshu who came to Lijiabao, but one of the five heroes of the Wudang faction. ”
Moreover, today, Li Huangshan took great pains to build momentum for Song Qingshu, and his intentions are also open to discussion. It's a pity that we don't know what the relationship between Li Jiabao and the Wudang faction is, and it's not easy to make a rash assertion. Today's matter, that Li Huangshan is willing to give up a hundred taels of gold, in addition to the fact that everyone is not repentant, I am afraid that it is also effective in the ancient Shang Dynasty to change the law and stand up for the letter's intention. It can be seen that he still lacks confidence in controlling these heroes like Li Jiabao. ”
Hearing Zhao Yu's analysis, Tang Yang realized that the matter was complicated. Although he is known for his resourcefulness, he still can't jump out of the field of vision of ordinary people after all.
During the third watch, Shen Wansan visited again.
This time his expression was a little serious, and after entering the door, he looked at Zhao Yu seriously, and sighed: "Shen only thinks that he is the first bold person in the world, and when I saw what Shaoxia did today, I realized that I am inferior to Shaoxia's heroic spirit!"
Zhao Yu waved his hand and said, "Mr. Shen has a good reputation." ”
Shen Wansan shook his head and said in a deep voice: "If what I expected, Shaoxia is definitely not a little minion of the Wushan Gang, he should be a very famous person in the rivers and lakes!"
"Why did Mr. Shen say this? I was forced to go to the ring, and it was even more fortunate to win that Song Qingshu, and I still have palpitations when I think about it. Zhao Yu said with a smile on his face.
Shen Wansan said: "No matter what the young man says, your true identity, Shen can probably guess it." Others did not have a deep conversation with Shaoxia, or there was a misunderstanding. It's ridiculous that Shen is conceited and knows people, and he actually looked away at first. I came tonight just to retract yesterday's words that don't know the height of the sky. Young heroes like this, where can I recruit a businessman like me!"
Hearing Shen Wansan say this, Zhao Yu no longer pretended to be confused, but changed his expression, and said with a straight face: "Mr. Shen has a unique vision, no wonder business can reach all over the world." I'm really a little curious, if Mr. Shen wants to make friends in the rivers and lakes, there are a lot of opportunities to seize, why bother to come to this place of right and wrong in Lijiabao?"
Seeing that Zhao Yu acquiesced to his identity, Shen Wansan's eyes flashed with a trace of uncontrollable excitement, and replied: "Don't hide it from Shaoxia, Shen came to Lijiabao to personally transport a batch of goods. The lord of Li Huangshan Fort had some business dealings with me in the past years, and he had something to ask for, and I couldn't shirk it. ”
Naturally, there is no need to go into detail about what kind of goods are being shipped. Zhao Yu pondered for a while before he said coldly: "All things are born and each performs its own duties." Mr. Shen is a smart person, so he shouldn't understand this truth. Mr. Shen is already a leading businessman in Jiangnan, but if he is involved in this kind of thing, he may not end well!"
Shen Wansan shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Only in front of people like Shaoxia, Shen couldn't help but spit out bitterness. Since ancient times, merchants have been the most despised. Shen is already a little accomplished, although he will not be arrogant, and he also knows that he is just a piece of fat in the eyes of others in this troubled world. But whoever can make money in harmony will intervene in the disaster of swords and soldiers that hurt the heavens and the peace. It's just that the situation is embarrassing, and in order to protect himself, he has to do it. ”
After this confession, Shen Wansan put himself in a weak position, and the slight meaning in it was self-evident. Tang Yang, who was standing behind Zhao Yu, couldn't help but show a little joy, and frequently gestured to Zhao Yu with his eyes.
Zhao Yu was unmoved, just nodded his head and said: "How can things be as good as they should be, Mr. Shen is helpless to have this choice in order to protect his family business." ”
Seeing that Zhao Yu was unwilling to talk deeply, Shen Wansan couldn't help but say: "Although the merchant is light, he can dredge up the existence and make up for the leaks in the herdsmen's defense of the territory, which is of great benefit." I wonder if the young man thinks so?"
Zhao Yu nodded again and again in agreement, but Shen Wansan wanted to talk about it further, but Zhao Yu gently diverted the topic.
As the night deepened, Shen Wansan finally found nothing, so he had to get up and leave.
After sending Shen Wansan away, Tang Yang was surprised and said: "Chief Flag Envoy, this Shen Wansan is clearly trying to seek the protection of our Chuzhou." Chuzhou's finances are very urgent at the moment, and if we can attract this big businessman, it will be of great benefit!"
Zhao Yu knocked lightly on the table and groaned: "After all, the timing is not right, Chuzhou is not deep, and it may not be able to retain this strong dragon." Shen Wansan's nest is in Suzhou, if he is not connected with Zhang Shicheng, he will not believe it. And this time, he risked his life to help Li Huangshan, which shows that this person's speculative heart is very active. If we can invite him to Chuzhou, we can indeed get temporary convenience, but there is no way to restrain him. Although I don't know how to do business, I also know that the market needs to be contested by hundreds of schools of thought before it can become a market. If I rely on him too early, if he sincerely helps me to fall, otherwise, it will be too dangerous for the people's livelihood and business affairs to be in the hands of outsiders!"
Tang Yang nodded and groaned, after all, he was still reluctant to miss this Jiangnan God of Wealth, and couldn't help but say again: "We can also keep in touch with him first, and then recruit him when the time is ripe, isn't that okay?"
Zhao Yu said with a smile: "He has shown that he has the courage to do strange business." There are many strange goods in the world, and there must be a trade-off before you can do business. If you want to be wet with rain and dew, then you are not far from the destruction of your home. Shen Wansan understands this truth, but he can't get a glimpse of the general trend of the world before he bets in many ways. His family business is huge, and he can't do the desperate act of sending charcoal in the snow, which is just icing on the cake at best. After we take Wuhu and control the Yangtze River waterway, I will allow him to temporarily gain a foothold in Chuzhou and use him as bait, and the rest of the businessmen who are moved by the wind are fish!"
Tang Yang still didn't understand, but when he saw that Zhao Yu had already made a fortune in his chest, he didn't say anything more.
Two more days passed in such a prosaic way, and another day was the life of Li Huangshan. The huge place of Lijiabao has gradually become overcrowded, but since that day of the battle in the ring, Song Qingshu has never appeared in front of people again.
This night, Zhao Yu discussed with Tang Yang that he would leave Lijiabao tomorrow. Although they had sensed Li Huangshan's true intentions, they were not capable of doing anything with the two of them, so it was better to go with the flow, and at the same time ordered Chuzhou to prepare for the affairs of southern Anhui as soon as possible.
In the middle of the night, in a daze, Zhao Yu heard the sound of feet stepping on tiles outside the window, and he was alert, and then smelled the strange fragrance in the room, and knew that someone put the incense into the room. He has a strong resistance to ** incense and the like, and he still can't help but feel dizzy after smelling this incense, and hurriedly mobilizes his internal force to get rid of these medicinal powers, and is about to get up to remind Tang Yang, but he hears the door latch being gently opened.
