Chapter 22 A pair of silver bracelets(1/2)
Corporal courtesy to the virtuous, thirsty for virtuous people.
Xu You was inexplicably impressed by Ling Gao's temptation, and he readily agreed to the invitation to join the Hou Ye think tank (he didn't have straw sandals, he was sincere).
Especially Xu You and Xu Ziyuan, this guy’s specialty is whimsical ideas, and his strategist skills: peeking into the enemy’s destiny.
Xiaoxu's flying knives are well executed.
When he arrived at Zhuoxian County, Xu You inquired about the situation in Youzhou and the rumors about Dutinghou, and was quite satisfied.
After entering the Marquis's mansion, Xu You was keenly aware of the ambition hidden by the Marquis.
Oops, this is exactly what happens when wine meets a close friend and a talented person meets a bastard.
The figure of a dragon and a phoenix among such people is the object of my allegiance.
Come on, let’s overthrow that stupid court together, depose the weird emperor, help the world, and shake up the past and the present!
This is a rebel who is deliberately trying to subvert the regime!
In the eyes of his classmate Gao You, Liu Bei's image and acting style were very different, and he was quite unable to adapt to them at first.
However, the Marquis gave too much.
Results.
He worshiped Xu You as a military advisor, established a staff department, and also took charge of the military police. In accordance with military regulations, he kept an eye on those gangsters who cared about food but not about fighting.
Gao You was a man of culture and a seed for reading. He was specially awarded the title of Xuezheng in Zhuo County. He was responsible for inviting famous scholars, recruiting ambitious and patient scholars, and opening a small school. Education started from childhood.
Knowing people well and making good use of them made Xu and Gao convinced.
Since the Marquis has entrusted you with the important task sincerely, don't hold it back and hurry up and take up the post. You don't see that one of his feet is still bare.
The next day, the military camp in the north of the city.
The bandaged Second Cavalry Governor of Guan and Zhang and the entire army witnessed the appointment ceremony of Xu Da’s military advisor and the inauguration of the general staff.
Also witnessed was the founding ceremony of the infamous "gendarme", which is now feared by the new future.
On the first day after Xu Dajun took office, he proposed the "going global" strategy.
"Zhongshan County must be captured!"
There are three reasons.
A group of ministers guarding the territory is a sign of respect for teachers, and outsiders have no right to beep.
Erzhongshan is only one step away, and rich businessmen gather here. They are well versed in the art of making friends far away and attacking closely to support war.
Sanzhang Su Commercial Bank was unfairly suppressed in Zhongshan, and Youzhou fought back and provoked, which was reasonable and legal.
After hearing this, Zhang Shiping and Su Shuang were confused and looked at each other, pinching their noses and saying nothing.
In early March, with the tacit consent of the minister of the dynasty, Guan Yu, the cavalry commander, personally led a thousand fine cavalry to launch a surprise attack and easily captured Zhongshan County.
Naturally, some people in Jizhou and Zhongshan couldn't stand Youzhou's expansion, and they went all the way to the court.
However, the Jizhou shepherd pretended to be deaf and mute in name, and Zhang Rang, the regular attendant, also confuses the emperor's hearing.
In the end, the court decided to let Jizhou and Youzhou resolve the issue through friendly negotiation.
What the heck, a Martial Saint with incredible martial prowess, plus a thousand fine cavalry, will get nothing no matter how single-handedly or in a group fight. How can we have a "friendly" negotiation?
In the end, the Marquis sent lobbyists to secretly visit important officials in Jizhou, and after showing goodwill, the Zhongshan incident maintained the status quo indefinitely.
After swallowing Zhongshan, the extremely wealthy Zhen family surfaced.
After Zhang Su's repeated invitations, the Zhen family bought the Marquis's ship ticket and became one of the three giants of Zhongshan Commercial Bank.
The Zhen family, who originally thought there would be a lot of bleeding, unexpectedly discovered that although the rustic Marquis belonged to Pixiu, he did not deceive his own people.
In particular, the far-reaching vision is shocking.
Because Zhang Su spent all his time in the stables and granaries, there was no one to take care of the tea garden in the south.
Seeing that the Qingming Festival was approaching, the Marquis became anxious and invited the Zhen family to discuss.
The white gloves of the Zhen family, Zhen Yi's uncle, Zhang Cheng, rushed to Zhuoxian as soon as possible.
Zhang Cheng, who was frightened and frightened, felt his heart sink when he saw the enigmatic Mr. Hou and then looked at the almost empty desk.
There is a jade cup in front of each of them, with a little clear green soup in it.
This extremely crude and rude reception made Zhang Cheng extremely ashamed.
It must be that the Zhen family's previous tribute of tens of millions of dollars failed to satisfy the Marquis.
"Please!"
Different from Zhang Cheng's random guess, the Marquis held the jade cup in both hands and invited everyone.
Zhang Cheng could only imitate Lord Hou, holding up the jade cup and taking a sip.
What kind of weird smell is this?
It's bitter and astringent. It's not an exaggeration to call it poison, right?
The big businessman Zhang Cheng, who was almost vomiting, took a secret glance at Mr. Hou.
Hey, the Marquis actually showed a leisurely and fascinated expression. He enjoyed it more than drinking the jade dew?
Suddenly, in the Dantian, there was an endless stream of refreshing sweetness.
Ouch!
This, this...could it be the secret of the soup?
In the exquisite and precious jade cup, the inconspicuous soup gradually becomes elegant and mysterious.
Try another sip.
This time, savor it carefully and slowly feel the slight astringency and bitterness blooming on the tip of your tongue.
Needless to say, it’s really an extraordinary experience.
On the third sip, Zhang Cheng drank the soup in one gulp, fully immersed in the magical drink.
Zhang Cheng solemnly put down the tea cup and asked for advice respectfully.
"May I ask Lord Marquis, what is this?"
"Pa!"
"Shen Nong's Materia Medica".
"Shennong tasted hundreds of herbs and encountered seventy-two poisons every day. He got tea to cure them."
Let me tell you what the ancient ancestors said, who is so full that he dares not to admit it?
Zhang Cheng came in a hurry and didn't eat. He was also timid in front of the Marquis, so he knelt down without hesitation.
Naturally, after being prompted by the Marquis, the adventurous Zhang Cheng decided to go to the south in person and vigorously expand the tea plantation.
Regarding the liquor franchise, even the notorious Marquis cannot be too presumptuous. After all, too many people's interests are involved.
However, tea is a completely new industry, and there are no restrictions from the imperial court. This time we take the lead, and we will soon be rich and wealthy.
Although in Zhang Cheng's eyes, the tea soup is amazing, the old tea leaves that have been fried temporarily are far inferior to the new spring tea.
This time, I hope the Zhen family will not disappoint a tea-loving prince again.
In fact, we can't blame Zhang Shiping and Su Shuang. Horses, grain, salt, iron, and cloth have already overwhelmed them.
Zhang Cheng, who hurried back to Wuji, immediately discussed with his sister Zhang and invited the Zhen family bosses to experience the wonders of tea.
Finally, "Shen Nong's Materia Medica" was thrown out with a "pop!"
In the end, the three-year-old Zhen Mi, who had high hopes from her family, smiled after drinking the tea soup and conquered everyone.
"Master Hou is very sincere. He not only provides technical support, but also underwrites all tea leaves. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!"
Therefore, the Zhen family unanimously decided to invest all the 10 million yuan originally given to the Marquis in tea gardens, and dispatched capable personnel headed by Zhang Cheng to the south immediately.
A tea family is about to rise, a giant making money every day, is born.
Xu You was not satisfied with swallowing Zhongshan. Since the court was appeasing, he would do the same.
The cattle in the river ate the grass in Youzhou, and the fish in the Bohai Sea brazenly crossed the border. Is there still a royal law? Is there still a law?
Zhang Fei, with his wounds still unhealed, led the military police and a thousand fine cavalry, divided into two groups, and stationed in Hejian Mansion and Bohai Mansion.
The people of Jizhou went crazy and once again protested that the Youzhou natives did not respect martial ethics, but the court still made peace and allowed both parties to continue friendly negotiations.
As a result, the kind and honest people of Jizhou had to temporarily succumb to the power of the Marquis.
However, the public dissatisfaction in Youzhou was boiling, giving a chance to the ambitious court bosses.
Liu Yu, the former governor of Youzhou and the current Zongzheng royal family member, became the shepherd of Youzhou.
Zhao Zhong, the regular attendant, grinned at Zhang Rang.
Don’t think that our family doesn’t understand your little tricks.
Aren't the little hands of the Zhuo County bumpkin stretched out happily? Look, a pair of silver bracelets is disrespectful.
