Chapter 961 The flapping wings of a butterfly
Seeing Ke Bi Neng winning over people's hearts, Liu Liang's hand involuntarily touched the dagger at his waist several times, and then put it down several times.
It’s not that I don’t dare, it’s that it’s not worth it.
If it were the Hu Renqushuai who was a little closer to the Liangzhou Pass...
No, you don’t need to be close to Liangzhou, it’s fine even if you’re close to Anding County. If Liu Liang says he’ll be stabbed to death, he’ll be stabbed to death.
After being stabbed to death, it is unlikely that Feng Langjun's reputation can be used to directly gather the remaining troops.
At the worst, you can also escape back to the fortress under the **** of a team of elite soldiers who specialize in murder and arson.
But not here.
It is one thing to stay away from the Han army's fortresses.
More importantly, Ke Bineng is different from other Hu people, Qu Shuai. This man is so good at winning people's hearts that he is deeply respected by the people of his tribe.
With the impulse, he killed Xunbi. Don't say that he has gathered the Hu Ren's residue, and is not chopped into meat sauce by the Hu people.
The most important thing is that this will definitely disrupt Ghost King Feng’s plan.
Liu Liang has gained the reputation of a Liu man over the years. He is no longer the stupid young man who dared to **** women from King Feng Gui.
Although I don’t know what Feng Ghost King is planning to do to the barbarians in Jiuyuan’s hometown, after all, Yin Ghost King has long-term plans.
But there should be no doubt that Ke Bineng plays an important role in King Feng Gui's plan.
After thinking about this, Liu Liang kept comforting himself in his heart: It's not worth it, it's not worth it...
Hypnosis forces oneself to have clear thoughts.
Although Liu Liang realized later and figured out his current possible dangerous situation:
As long as someone makes a noise and the crowd becomes angry, my group may not be able to escape from Jiuyuan.
But the idea of preparing to run away only circulated in Liu Liang's mind for two times, and he was immediately strangled to death.
He just ran away. It had just started snowing, and it was freezing and snowy. It was hard to say whether he could run away.
Even if he can run back, even if King Feng Gui doesn't say anything, his previous hard work will definitely be offset.
The work done so **** the couch is also credit, okay?
And in the future, let alone Feng Wenhe, even if Feng Guiwang falls, and other people come up, it is estimated that no one will be willing to use him anymore.
This is how it will be for the rest of my life.
Then I might as well have stayed in Jincheng from the beginning, eating and waiting to die!
“Can’t just run away!”
Liu Liang fell back into the tent and kept mumbling.
Under such circumstances, his mind was spinning at the fastest speed in his life.
Ke Bineng was a man of great ambition and could be called a powerful figure among the barbarians.
After being severely defeated by the Wei State before, it was only with the help of Liangzhou, intentionally or unintentionally, that it was able to regain some momentum in a short period of time.
Even if he really wants to fall out with the big man, he must do so after his wings have hardened.
If he turns against him at this time, can he still seek refuge with the Wei thieves?
It's not that Liu Hanzi looks down on Wei thief, but... how much benefit can Wei thief give Ke Bi in one year?
These days, what kind of food and clothing are free of charge?
If you don’t have money, you still need to have food and clothing, right?
The Wei thief himself had to find a way to exchange wool from the big man!
When Liu Hanzi came to his hometown of Jiuyuan, he did not just sleep with the bearded girl.
At any rate, I have established some relationships with the adults of several tribes.
I still know a little about the Hu tribe in Jiuyuan’s hometown.
Kebineng’s subordinates include not only his own tribe, but also other large and small tribes.
In the past, when Ke Bi Neng was so powerful, even the leaders of the big tribes would kill him as soon as he asked. No one dared to disobey.
For example, Bu Dugen’s elder brother Fu Luohan.
Moreover, he was killed in public at the oath-taking meeting. After the killing, he also annexed Fulohan's tribe, which was a large tribe with tens of thousands of troops.
But now, compared with before, it is very different.
An eagle that has broken wings and has not recovered from its injuries will end up falling to death if it dares to flap its wings and fly high.
Originally, I could get so many benefits from Liangzhou. Bi Bi could really say that he turned his face and turned his face. The Hu Ren at the bottom did not understand because these benefits could not reach their hands.
But wouldn’t the commanders of other tribes who received the benefits have any objections?
Even if you Ke Bineng are the leader elected by everyone, you still have to have a reason for doing things, right?
Liangzhou is so far away from the hometown of Jiuyuan, so there is no threat.
Can Kebi dare to say the reason of winning people's hearts?
What's more, trying to win people's hearts like this may not be what some commanders want to see!
Thinking of this, Liu Liang's spirit perked up and he stood up involuntarily.
Crisis, doesn’t it mean that when there is danger, there is opportunity?
“When someone comes, prepare a gift.”
“Where are you going, Mr. Lang?”
“I am afraid that many tribes will suffer losses in this white disaster. I have been entertained by them in the past, how can I stand by and watch now?”
Liu Hanzi flicked his sleeves and said righteously:
"Even if I can't help them, I still have to comfort them."
The guards responded and were about to go out when they heard Liu Hanzi’s special instructions behind him:
“Remember to prepare two extra bars of soap.”
"ah?"
But I heard Liu Hanzi murmur:
“Hu people are very hospitable friends. If I were to stay here tonight, I wouldn’t go against their good intentions..."
Hearing this, the guard almost ducked, opened his mouth, but finally said nothing and left with a complicated expression.
It is not uncommon in this era to have things specially used to clean the body when taking a bath.
There is a kind of bath bean called bath bean, which is made by pounding fat into a paste, and then mixing it with finely ground bean powder, various spices and Chinese herbal medicines.
Not only can it remove stains, but it can also add fragrance.
But these days, even among the big men who have popularized the idea of raising livestock in captivity, those who can afford to eat fat are considered wealthy.
How much more to use it for bathing?
Not to mention adding spices.
Except for the very wealthy, who knows what a bath bean looks like?
Moreover, making bath beans is troublesome, and the raw materials are hard to find, let alone transportation and storage.
How does it look like soap?
It’s a neat piece, you can wrap it up and carry it with you, and you can go wherever you want.
This thing is simply a must-have tool for walking on the grassland.
Because of it, the attractiveness of barbarian women on the grassland has increased by at least fifty to seventy percentage points compared to before.
Nowadays, whether a caravan is entering the grasslands or traveling to the Western Regions, soap is a necessity.
How could Liu Hanzi, who had been in constant contact with the Hu people for many years, not know this?
After regaining his spirits, Liu Hanzi tidied up his whole body again.
As a relative of the Han Dynasty emperor, his genes are basically the same.
After all, for hundreds of years, the royal family has had many beauties to help improve genes.
Compared to a bumpkin like Feng Guiwang, Liu Hanzi is quite confident in his appearance.
It's a pity that these days, the outstanding women of the Han Dynasty are more connotative, and they value more than just their appearance. What a pity, what a pity!
After getting ready, I saw a handsome gentleman from the Han family, leading three or five followers, quietly avoiding the crowd and slipping away in a certain direction!
Survival is a powerful instinct.
Liu Hanzi just felt that he might be threatened, but he still found a way to take the initiative to fight back.
Lü Yi and others in the Wu State School Affairs Office no longer felt that they might be threatened, but that someone directly pointed the sword at the throats of themselves and others.
The news that Qin Bo returned to Wu from Liangzhou made Lu Yi and others overjoyed.
After the envoy reported to His Majesty, Qin Bo had just left the palace, Lu Yi couldn't wait to summon the people, led him into the secret room and asked:
“In your previous letter, you only said that you had an unexpected harvest in Liangzhou, but the letter was unclear. Now that you are back, please tell us in detail.”
“That’s right. Having said the harvest, it seems that Qin’s trip to the school affairs office will be of great help to the school affairs office?”
Qian Qin, one of Lu Yi's right-hand men like Qin Bo, also asked in a somewhat urgent tone.
Qin Bo's trip was obviously to participate in the war horse trade, but secretly he was looking for connections with the Han people.
So when His Majesty summoned the envoy, it was naturally impossible for him to reveal the deal he had made with the Han people in private.
Otherwise, the people in the mission will only get the credit in vain.
It may even reveal the true purpose of his trip and alert his opponents in the DPRK.
This is a sensitive moment for the school government, and Qin Bo was stupid enough to reveal his exclusive trading channels in public.
At this time, the school office was surrounded by his own people, and Qin Bo could not hide his joy:
"Back to Zhongshu, before I go into details, I would like to ask Zhongshu to take a look at this thing."
Qin Bo said, took something out of his arms and handed it over.
Lu Yi took it and took a look at it, and couldn't help but said in surprise:
“Is this...a candle?”
"Exactly! Let's take a look at the book. Is it round, smooth, beautiful and white? Can it be considered a top-grade thing?"
Along the way, Qin Bo’s mind was full of things to sell that were round, smooth, beautiful and white, so he naturally blurted out the words.
"It is indeed top quality..." Lu Yi said, but frowned a little, "But what does this thing have to do with your harvest from this trip?"
He didn’t know how many pearls he had seen, but he wouldn’t pay attention to a mere candle. He looked at it briefly, and then handed the candle to Qian Qin beside him impatiently.
What he is concerned about now is what happened with that "Xiao Wenhe".
“Lü Zhongshu, the Han people have promised us that they will give us at least 30,000 of these high-quality candles for sale next year…”
When Lu Yi heard this, his eyes suddenly widened: "Thirty thousand? Huh? Huh!"
Then he suddenly turned around and took the candle back from Qian Qin's hand, and held it up in front of Qin Bo:
“This? Thirty thousand?”
Qin Bo nodded affirmatively: "No less than thirty thousand."
“Monopoly?”
"That's right, the Han people said that they are the only ones in the world who have this kind of high-quality goods. Now in Dawu, we are the only ones who can get the goods from them."
Hearing this, Lu Yi couldn't help but lower his head and look at the candle in his hand, rubbing it carefully:
“Good stuff, good stuff, round, smooth, beautiful and white, it’s really a good thing!”
Lu Yi touched it for a while, then suddenly remembered something, then raised his head again and asked:
“But like that brown sugar, there are 30,000 pieces every year?”
Qin Bo smiled proudly:
“Next year’s 30,000 is just a base number. As long as we can sell well in Wu, there will only be more in the future. The better the sales, the more they will give.”
“Okay! Okay! Okay!”
Lu Yi finally couldn't help the ecstasy in his heart and burst out laughing.
Qian Qin also laughed and said:
“The Han people probably don’t know. When it comes to doing business, no one in Wu can compare with the school affairs office.”
Everyone laughed along with him.
Over the years, the school affairs office has used many methods, overtly and covertly, to make money for His Majesty's Young Master.
Even many mountains and rivers have been fenced off, and outsiders are not allowed to enter.
If we really have the right to sell the goods, and we have the right to sell only such high-quality goods, people will come to our door with money even if we lie down.
For example, if you can't get a share of brown sugar from the Zhang family, people who have other connections may even go to Shu privately to look for the goods.
Although you can’t get much from Shu, it’s better than not even being able to taste it.
But if the school office really wants to take over the right to sell candles, whoever is short-sighted and dares to take goods privately from Shu will be seeking death!
After laughing, Qin Bo continued:
"Speaking of brown sugar, I went to Liangzhou this time and met with Feng Wen...er, Feng Langjun, and got a promise."
“Oh, come quickly, come quickly.”
Qin Bo then promised Feng Langjun that if he could change the grain supply to sugar cane in Jingzhou, he could also allocate a share of brown sugar to the school officials.
There are also things such as whether the woolen materials can be sold exclusively next year or the year after later.
On hearing this, Lu Yi and others all had their eyes glowing green.
Brown sugar, wool and other bulk materials have been coveted by the school administration for a long time!
It's just that even if the Zhang family is settled but cannot establish relations with the Han people, it is useless.
Not to mention that the Zhang family has a close relationship with Feng Langjun. If you suppress the Zhang family, it will be considered as offending Feng Wenhe. In the future, there may be no chance to get these goods.
So even if the school office is jealous of the channels in the hands of the Zhang family, it can only suppress its desire in the bottom of its heart and dare not move lightly.
This time, taking advantage of the war horse trade, the school affairs office sent Qin Bo to go to Han to test it out and see if he could get a piece of the pie.
It ’s so smooth that I do n’t think of things.
“Qin is really a great contributor to our school affairs this time!”
Lv Yi did not hesitate to praise him, "Your Majesty's treasury is empty. If the school affairs office can relieve your Majesty's worries, who can easily shake our position in your Majesty's heart?"
“Opposite to pole!”
…
Everyone is convinced.
Ever since Li Heng spoke in front of His Majesty, although His Majesty did not say anything explicitly, the school affairs office also tried its best to remedy the situation.
But His Majesty’s attitude seems to have undergone some subtle changes.
For example, I heard that His Majesty looked ashamed at that time.
For example, Li Heng was promoted from a commoner to Zhuge Ke's army Sima after the incident.
Especially the latter matter, it is simply a slap in the face of the school affairs office.
But Lu Yi and others had to be much more careful in their actions than before.
Qin Bo's return from this trip finally broke the current situation.
Once the big stone in his heart was gone, Lu Yi finally returned to his old ways, but saw a look of resentment on his face:
“From the current point of view, Li Heng’s matter is most likely a plot of the East Palace. Otherwise, why would Li Heng become Zhuge Ke’s Sima?”
Zhuge Ke ranks first among the four friends in the East Palace, and he is also the most valued aide to the prince.
Lu Yi and others are not blind or deaf. How could they still not guess that Li Heng is related to the East Palace at this time?
“That’s right, over at the East Palace, I guess it’s for Jiangxia Governor Diao Jia and Shizhong Shiyi to come forward.”
Qian Qin explained to Qin Bo, "Li Heng is from Jingzhou and is related by marriage to the Xi family of the Jingzhou family. And the Zhuge family... ha!"
Now Zhuge Jin is ranked as a general and has been guarding Jingzhou. In name, he can be regarded as the largest family in Jingzhou.
So Qin Bo immediately understood it as soon as he heard it.
Diao Jia, the prefect of Jiangxia, was suspected of "slandering the government." Under the power of the school affairs office, no one dared to speak out. Only Shi Zhong, who had been assisting the prince, refused to admit it.
In the end, this matter was just a confused account and nothing was settled.
This time, Dong Palace should have used the Jingzhou family to attack the school affairs office.
"That's it, the East Palace. The prince has always disliked the school affairs office, and has repeatedly written to His Majesty to express our faults."
Lu Yi gritted his teeth and said, "But this time the Jingzhou family dared to stretch out such a long hand, I'm afraid they have the wrong intention! I can't move the prince, so why can't I move them?"
“That’s right, the Jingzhou family has taken a lot of brown sugar from the Han people over the years. This time, we got Feng Mingwen’s permission, so we can take advantage of this matter..."
Qian Qin’s eyes flickered and he smiled coldly.
Now that the school office also has the right to sell brown sugar, the aristocratic families in Jingzhou are considered competitors.
They take more, which is equivalent to taking an extra mouthful of food from the mouth of the school administration. How can we bear this?
The Zhang family cannot be touched because the Zhang family has a relationship with Xiao Wenhe.
What relationship does the Jingzhou family have with Xiao Wenhe?
Have never heard of it!
