Chapter 1453: Long-term plan
Zhou Jiyun looked at Wusu and asked, "Is there something you hide from me? What does the old man want to do?"
"I should know what I should know, so I will naturally let you know."
"I feel that I am qualified to know the most core secret in the family." Zhou Jiyun said dissatisfiedly. He is a son-in-law of the Zhou family and a son-in-law of the Wu family, and the bond between these two super big families. But now, it is obvious that there are extremely important things hidden from him.
Wu Su gently patted Zhou Jiyun on the shoulder: "There is one thing you remember, we are all for your own good. Well, we can't say that, it's for the consideration of the entire family."
Zhou Jiyun looked at the other party in confusion.
Wu Su smiled and took out a small box from his arms and pushed him in front of Zhou Jiyun, "This is what Mr. Zhou asked me to bring to you."
Zhou Jiyun opened the box, stood up suddenly, and said in a trembling voice: "This is the seal of the Great Elder of the Presbyterian Church?"
"Only half." Wu Su said, "If we fail, then someone will be given to you. When you get the other half of the letter, you will be the elder of the Presbyterian Church. From then on, all the surviving wealthy families will be your leader."
"Is this arranging the funeral?" Zhou Jiyun took a deep breath: "In other words, the old man has no confidence in winning the upcoming big event?"
"Where can you get the sureness of victory, especially when your opponent is Cao Tiancheng and Cao Yun." Wu Su smiled and said, "All major families have children in your army. This year, they have sent many direct children to Ming Kingdom. There are also large amounts of funds in the Changlong Bank of Ming Kingdom. If we fail, then these people will become seeds. Jiyun, you will become their leader and protector."
"Elder, the land of the Ming Kingdom is not suitable for the existence of wealthy families." Zhou Jiyun said in a depressed manner.
Wu Su laughed: "Jiyun, you are so naive. The Ming Dynasty now does not have a truly wealthy family. Those people are at most rich people. But remember that there will be more and more people like this in the Ming Dynasty. Jiyun, what are the next demands of these people after they have money? Of course, it is political status."
"Businessmen have never been able to have any position in politics." Zhou Jiyun said disdainfully: "Elder, you are not asking these children to do business, right?"
Wu Su said: "The group of people who came out were all decided by the Presbyterian Church one by one. There are seeds of study and smart merchants. The Ming Dynasty strictly guarded against land annexation. This is their red line and cannot be touched. Therefore, the people who came out will go to do business. Their income will be used to support those scholars and seek political benefits after achieving something. Jiyun, this is a grand plan planned by the elders for generations. If we fail, then you will immediately become the elders of the Presbyterian Church, and this plan will be launched immediately."
"So, is the Great Elder better able to unify the world in the future?" Zhou Jiyun asked with a wry smile.
"Yes, if we cannot succeed, Qi will inevitably fall into a protracted civil war." Wusu sneered: "We can't do it anymore, but we will do our best to hold Qi and drag them to hell with us. This is to give the last power for this plan."
Although it was the cold winter of nine, Zhou Jiyun's vest still had dense cold sweats.
"The wealthy families of aristocratic families have gone through thousands of years, not only because we have great power, but also because we never put eggs in a basket and make some investments and foreshadowings in advance. When the main trunk is about to fall, we will do our best to try to make the seedlings planted in advance grow at the fastest speed. The families will stung, but they will never die." Wusu's tone was full of pride.
"But in Ming Dynasty, how can we reappear the glory of the past?" Zhou Jiyun asked.
"This is back to the previous topic." Wu Su smiled and said, "We said before that more and more rich people in the Ming Dynasty will be, because they strictly prohibit land annexation, so the remaining money in the hands of rich people can only find a way out for business, and they will become richer, but their political weakness will make them suffer a lot in this process. When these wealthy businessmen realize this, they will make some demands in politics. Such demands cannot be avoided even by a great emperor like Qin Feng. Therefore, when the Ming Dynasty unified the world, merchants or their spokespersons will take to the political stage, this will be a positive answer. Just like now, isn't Geng Jingming actually the representative of it? And Wang Yueyao is the same."
"The children of our aristocratic families have received the best education since childhood and can learn the best knowledge. They will be better at studying than ordinary people, and they will be more skilled in doing business than others. Therefore, their rise is expected. Jiyun, maybe this requires the efforts of generations or even generations, but we will eventually go to the center of the historical stage again."
He laughed proudly: "Jiyun, will you feel accomplished when you witness this happening slowly and finally achieve something?"
Zhou Jiyun said bitterly: "I only feel heavy responsibility, like walking forward with a mountain. If you are not careful, you will end up being broken into pieces."
"You are the guardian of the aristocratic family that the old man is interested in." Wu Su said: "Before this time, the old man asked me to tell you that if we fail, then you will completely turn to the Ming Kingdom and become the front pawns of the Ming people to conquer the world, unify the world, and make enough merits to gain a place in the court. Then, the old man specifically reminds you to immediately give up all military power, give up any plan that wants to be on the local level, and try your best to occupy a useful position in the court. With your ability, whether in the army or in politics, you will have good development. What you have to do in your life is one thing, silently protect the development of those aristocratic families, and carefully promote our children without any trace."
"Jiyun understands."
"You will tell Yue Kaishan slowly in the future. He is also a capable person, but their Yue family no longer exists. This will definitely make him have other thoughts. If you can make him the same as you, then the road will be smoother in the future." Wu Su said.
"This time, how successful is the old man's plan?"
"The old man said 50%, but in my opinion, at least 60%!" Wu Su said. "But even if you are 90% sure, these arrangements will still be implemented. Don't be afraid of 10,000, just be afraid of what if."
"I understand. I will concentrate my efforts to attack Luzhou next. The old man hopes that I can attract some of the Long Xiangjun?" Zhou Jiyun whispered.
"You are indeed smart." Wu Su smiled and said, "That's about that."
"But now my main force is concentrated in Cangzhou, and it will take time to transfer to Luzhou. In addition, it also needs to coordinate with the Ming people's troops and adjust defense with them. This will take at least one month."
"Take it slowly, don't worry. This time, the old man didn't expect you." Wu Su smiled and said, "You arranged it as a backhand."
Zhou Jiyun nodded: "I understand."
"In addition, you must be careful of Bian Wushuang." Wu Su said: "Our people discovered that Cao Hui appeared in Jinghu again. His purpose was nothing more than to contact Bian Wushuang to attack Kunling County. Kunling County is the foundation of your current status and the letter of your conspiracy to join the Ming Kingdom at that time. You must not make any mistakes."
"Elder, from the clues, Ji Yun judged that Bian Wushuang was afraid that he would also collude with Mingren. At this time, Mingren would not allow him to attack me, right?" Zhou Jiyun said.
"I'm afraid you have this idea. Who is Bian Wushuang? A capricious villain, he is completely different from us. We are forced to die and have to fight to the death. But he still has a lot of capital. How could he end up losing everything? We have the plan to become a powerful Bian family in his hands. If we follow this pattern, he will become a little stuff between you and the Ming people. With Bian Wushuang's nature, he will inevitably do something, so you must be careful that he will give you a blow from behind."
Zhou Jiyun was frightened.
"I know, I will arrange people to guard against him."
"According to the old man's idea, if Bian Wushuang really dares to move, you only need to block it for a while, and the Ming people will take action, so there will be no big obstacles. The key is to hold on at the beginning. If Bian Wushuang wants to take action, it will inevitably be when you use a lot of troops to deal with Luzhou."
"I will let him understand that Zhou Jiyun is not that easy to deal with."
"When you know more than me in war, I won't say much. Jiyun, after this time, you may meet forever." Wu Su suddenly laughed: "If we fail, our heads will hang on the head of Chang'an City, and the corpse may become a meal for wild dogs. When you fight to Chang'an City in the future, don't forget to go to the mass grave to find out if there are still a few remaining bones."
"Elder, didn't you say that you had half the chance of victory?" Zhou Jiyun was a little sad.
