Chapter 299 Isn't this stupid?

Cao Shen, known as Cao Xiangguo in history, was the founding hero of the Western Han Dynasty, a famous military strategist and politician.

Excellent in both civil and military affairs, he performed very well during the last northern expedition against the Xiongnu, and even received a commendation from Ying Zheng!

Letting him be an undercover agent is a piece of cake!

Now that the train has not been successfully developed, Cao Shen could only ride on his horse. He did not dare to waste time along the way and arrived at Daze Township as quickly as possible!

On a dilapidated platform at the entrance of the village, two men wearing simple armor were standing on it, shouting impassionedly to the people gathered below!

"Our Daze Township was originally the land of Chu, and we lived a stable life. It was Da Qin's rampant ambitions that led to the destruction of Da Chu!"

"It would be great if they could allow us people to recuperate, but they have not changed their ambitions and wantonly marched northward. They will definitely have to go westward and go to sea in the future. We people will never live a good life following them!"

"If you want to stay on this land safely, there is only one way, which is to overthrow the violent Qin!"

"It's a pity that we are all poor people and don't have decent weapons, so we called all of you here today. Let's work together to overthrow the tyranny!"

Standing on the stage, the people who spoke ill of Da Qin were none other than Chen Sheng and Wu Guang.

The two men were very eloquent and focused on highlighting the shortcomings of Da Qin. The simple-dressed people in the audience were so excited that they took out the money they had prepared and put it on the stage!

Even some women took out their own slightly valuable jewelry!

After everyone had donated and dispersed, the two of them sat on the table and counted the items, looking sad!

"Alas...! What can you do with such a small amount of money? Not to mention dealing with hot weapons, even cold weapons are in vain!"

"Who says otherwise? This money is enough to hit two knives!"

The two of them lowered their heads, and the momentum they had just now was completely gone.

"I would like to donate one hundred gold to support Mr. Chu's plan to revive Chu!"

Just when the two of them were at a loss what to do, a bulging money bag suddenly flew up, startling the two of them, and they quickly put themselves on the defensive.

Gathering a crowd to rebel is a capital crime punishable by beheading!

The people in the village have been brainwashed by them and will never tell anyone, but the same cannot be said for outsiders!

"You...who are you?"

The two of them always remained vigilant.

"I am a distant relative of the former Prime Minister Li Si. He is also from the Chu State. He was cared for by the Prime Minister. He lived a good life before. But after the Prime Minister was killed by the young master, he had no support and his life was not as good as the other day. I heard that you two

To overthrow the tyranny, my father specially asked me to bring you a meeting gift!"

Cao Shen pretended to be polite and bowed his hands to the two of them.

"Meeting gift?"

"One hundred gold?"

The two of them pulled the money bag to their sides with suspicion and vigilance, and picked it up.

Chen Sheng opened it and saw that it was filled with gold cakes, which almost blinded him!

The two of them suddenly became excited.

The young man in front of me is well-dressed and has a dirty look. He has obviously just come from other places to seek refuge. It seems that he is really not lying!

"Since my brother hates the Qin Dynasty and has money in his hands, why don't he set up his own business and recruit troops instead of defecting to us?"

Happiness came so suddenly that Chen Sheng and Wu Guang were a little flustered.

Cao Shen was about to explain the reason, but after looking around, he noticed that there were many people coming and going. He stretched out his index finger and made a silent expression, "Brothers, this is not the place to talk. Let's find a tavern to eat and chat."

How about it? My treat!"

The two looked at each other with an expression of enlightenment, and immediately nodded, "Even though our village is small, the tavern owner's craftsmanship is pretty good!"

What they do cannot be disclosed casually, and the person in front of them is also a secret that cannot be disclosed. Doesn't that mean they are in the same camp?

"Then please brother, please lead the way!"

Cao Shen nodded very politely.

But that’s not what I thought!

When he was in the village before, he thought the food in the village was good!

But when I got to the young master, I realized that all the delicacies in the world converge on the young master, and the things he makes are really delicious!

Besides, this is a sleepy little village, what good food can there be!

Besides, he is also the shopkeeper and chef!

"Let's go, let's go...!"

A group of three people came to the tavern chatting and laughing.

It is said to be a tavern, but in fact, in Cao Shen's opinion, it is just a private house with a shabby signboard!

There are two tables in the middle of the house where you can eat, with the stove on the left and the bed on the right. Obviously the shopkeeper lives, eats and sleeps in this hut, and the only way to make a little money is to open a tavern!

"Lao Wang, please go out after the vegetables are cooked. We have something to talk about!"

Wu Guang patted the shopkeeper on the shoulder and said very familiarly.

"okay!"

The shopkeeper seemed to be used to it. After serving the last side dish, he walked out and closed the door very wisely.

Obviously, Chen Sheng and Wu Guang discussed matters here not once or twice.

After a few glasses of water and wine, they started chatting, "Sir, he is a distant relative of the former prime minister, but his surname is also Li?"

"Yes, we are indeed descendants of the Li surname...!"

Cao Shen held the wine glass, nodded with a smile, and continued: "My father is the nephew of the Prime Minister's father's clan uncle. We have gone around in a small circle, but although we are not close relatives, we have not traveled far before. With the help of the Prime Minister's

Guang, our family has saved a lot of money!"

"Then why do you want to find us two brothers?"

As they said before, if you have money, you can become your own king, so why pay for others to dominate?

Isn't this stupid?

"There is no way. My father is over fifty years old and is still frail and sick. I am the only son, and I have been fond of poetry and books since I was a child. Even if I am full of passion, I cannot lead an army, so I can only find two of you!"

"My father has long heard that these two brave men want to pacify our Chu territory, so he plans to use his life's earnings to support the two of them, overthrow the Qin State, and honor our ancestors!"

In order to seduce the two of them, Cao Shen also deliberately emphasized the word "earning in a lifetime".

You know, with the Prime Minister's path, it is impossible not to make money in business, and you will make more in your life. The numbers must be astonishing!

For Chen Sheng and Wu Guang, who were born into poor families, this is definitely a huge temptation!

This is equivalent to the mutually beneficial relationship between Lu Buwei and Yiren back then!

For the other party to see themselves as a different person is definitely a great affirmation of themselves, which also makes the two of them very excited!

If it is true as this guy said, his father will use all the money to finance, then they will be even more sure of achieving great things!

Recruiting troops and buying horses is all a matter of course!

"I wonder if Xiongtai's family has any requirements?"

Chen Sheng is not a fool. If someone is willing to pay, he must pay it back, and he cannot pay for it in vain.

What's more, they are businessmen who are good at calculating all their lives. They have more clever ideas and never suffer losses in doing things!

When dealing with them, you must first ask them clearly what they want in return!
