I am not an ant thief in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 485, long-term insight

Youzhou, Jixian!
Guoyuan was walking on the road in Ji County, looking at the surrounding scenes in amazement, if he hadn't known that this was Youzhou, he would have thought he had returned to the original Luoyang City.People with rosy complexions and rich bodies are rarely seen in Dahan. Even during the Taiping Festival, only Luoyang City can see some, but here in Ji County, it can be said that such people are everywhere!
Guoyuan couldn't help sighing: "Although Lei Gong is cruel, I can't compare his ability to govern the country! In Qingzhou, we tried our best, but we can only keep the people from starving to death, but we want to let the people live like The people in Hebei are just as rich but far behind!"

Guoyuan came to Hebei on behalf of Qingzhou's nobles. They had to find a way to contact the senior officials of Dagan so that Qingzhou's nobles could integrate into the Dagan government.

And the reason why he was chosen as the representative was because his teachers, Zheng Xuan and Xiang Kai, were old friends, both of them were masters in learning, and both were in Hebei, and the two sides communicated frequently!What he has to do is to find a way to meet Xiang Kai, and then use Xiang Kai's relationship to express to Lei Gong their willingness to join him!
Kong Yu, who followed behind him, said with a cold face: "But this kind of wealth is built on the blood and tears we waited for. The elite clan in Hebei was originally the most powerful branch of my big man, but it has disappeared in smoke now! All of their hundreds of years of accumulation has been captured by Lei Gong!"

Kong Yu is the sixth younger brother of Kong Rong, and he also came here on behalf of Qingzhou's powerful family. He is 10 years younger than Guoyuan, and he is less than 20 years old this year. He has fought against Xu Wei with his friends in Qingzhou before. , and even imitated his elder brother, learning martial arts and writing, and wanted to join the army to crusade against Xu Wei, but he was young, but he did not expect that Qingzhou's powerful clans would change so quickly. Once the Central Plains War ended, they felt that Cao Cao was not reliable, and wanted to Way to join the army!
Guoyuan heard this and said: "If you still have such thoughts, go back to Qingzhou immediately. We are here to find a way for everyone to survive, not to offend Lei Gong!"

Then he looked at the young sons of the noble family beside him and said: "Whether you want to admit it or not, the current Lei Gong is not something we can offend. You are all carrying the mission of family continuation this time!"

Fortunately, people like Kong Yu who are rebellious and unruly are a minority after all, and most of them have been instructed in the family to know their tasks clearly!
A few people came to a relatively remote place in Jixian County, and soon came to a mansion, opened the door and said: "People from Gai County, Le'an County are visiting, please let me know!"

The guard saw that each of these people was dressed in rich and noble clothes, so he went to notify them immediately.

Soon a voice said excitedly: "Brother Zini, being able to come to my mansion really makes my place flourish!"

A middle-aged man in his thirties came to Guoyuan. This person was Cui Yi, a member of the Cui family who stayed in Hebei. Most of them escaped, but these rich and powerful families are used to betting separately. Even if Xu Wei uprooted their power, they still instinctively kept some clansmen in Hebei!

What Xu Wei really attacked was the influence of Hebei nobles in the officialdom and their land. All the nobles with bad deeds fled, and branches like the Cui family didn't have much energy to do evil things, but could stay.

In the past few years, the world has been in chaos. On the contrary, the land of Hebei has been very stable under Xu Wei's notice. Even because they have no land, the three-year drought has no effect on them. , the land of Hebei has been growing rapidly in recent years.

Although Cui Yi and the others are side branches, they can read and write, and their knowledge is farther than ordinary people. At the same time, they do not lack the original funds for development, but Xu Wei restricts them to business, which makes them become, this wave They are pigs on the cusp of the technological explosion, and their wealth has doubled in recent years. It can be said that although Cui Yi and the others have lost their power, their current wealth is not much worse than before!
After the two parties came to the hall, Guoyuan found that there were still many people here!

Cui Yi happily said to these people: "This is Master Zheng's disciple Guoyuan! Guozi Ni"

Back then, he also followed Cui Jun to worship Zheng Xuan as a teacher. It can be said that he and Guoyuan are brothers.

Then Cui Yi explained to Guoyuan: "This is Wang Gai, the patriarch of the Wang family in Bingzhou, Linghu Chong, the patriarch of the Linghu family in Bingzhou, Liu He, the patriarch of the Jizhou clan, and Xianyufu, the patriarch of the Xianyu family in Youzhou!"

Guoyuan was surprised to find that there were dozens of people in this hall, and most of them were the patriarchs of Hebei clan.
Guoyuan said worriedly: "Patriarchs gather so blatantly, don't worry that Lei Gong will trouble you!"

Most of the noble families in the three prefectures of Hebei are here. It is no exaggeration to say that you conspired to rebel. Now Guoyuan is a little worried that he has come to Cui Yi!

Xian Yufu smiled wryly and said, "We are all Lei Gong's defeated generals. He has uprooted all the former disciples of the Patriarch, and now they have become ordinary people. How could Lei Gong care about our gathering!"

Although Xian Yufu and Liu He are Liu Yu's assistant and the other is his son, Xu Wei did not target them because of Liu Yu's prestige in Youzhou official circles. They can move freely in Hebei and even leave Hebei , but they did not leave Hebei to join Dahan.

The Youzhou War was too fierce at the beginning, and it has completely destroyed their self-confidence in resisting Xu Wei. They don't think that the current big man can still resist Lei Gong's attack. The people live in the land of Hebei!

Kong Yu was pleasantly surprised: "Mr. Lei is so arrogant that he didn't restrict your actions?"

Liu He smiled bitterly and said, "I'm afraid Lei Gong wants us to flee Hebei the most, so that he won't justifiably confiscate our property!"

Cui Yi said: "Now we have no power and power, Lei Gong is afraid of us, we really dare to rebel, I am afraid that the local Lizheng can arrest us!"

Kong Yu couldn't believe it and said, "Brother Cui, you've entered the mansion nine times, and Taiwei Cui's house in Luoyang City was nothing more than that. Now you actually say that you have no power?"

Kong Yu obviously didn't believe it!
Cui Yi said: "I have to admire Lei Gong's arrogance at this point, he doesn't care about it at all, even if we build the house like the palace, he won't care!"

Cui Yi saw the disbelieving Kong Yu, pointing to a tall tower in the center of Jixian County and said: "Jixian County has been designated as the capital of the country by Lei Gong, but the tallest building in Jixian County is this bell tower, which is 13 feet high and the tallest in Jixian County. This bell tower can be seen anywhere in Ji County.

Lei Gong doesn't care about such a high bell tower anymore, so why would he care about our houses!Now there are dozens of mansions in Ji County that are bigger than my house, all of which are the residences of big merchants in Hebei. On the contrary, the residences of high-ranking officials like Lei Gong are very simple, and they are not even considered as Sanjin’s houses!And Lei Gong hasn't even built a palace so far, his own house and his subordinates are in the same market place! "

Liu Hedao: "Lei Gong's frugality is stronger than my father's back then. With his current power, he can still do this. It is not an exaggeration to say that he is a hero! It is impossible for us defeated generals to rebel against Lei Gong. , the entire Jixian County is a supporter of Lei Gong, rebelling in Hebei is a dead end!"

Wang Gai mocked: "Yes! What we can do is merchant's business. I never thought that my Taiyuan royal family has been passed down for thousands of years, and finally became a merchant. This is really ashamed of our ancestors!"

When Wang Gai made such a mockery, all the families present were ashamed. They themselves have a famous family that has been passed down for hundreds of years, but now they can only do some low-level things. No matter how much wealth they earn, they can't let it go!

Kong Yu was puzzled and said, "Brother Wang, your father thought he was a Situ in Xiangyang, so you can find a way to escape to Xiangyang!"

Wang Gai was embarrassed when he said this, and then became angry from embarrassment.

Because no matter how he answered it, it would be wrong.After all, his father famously spread the name of loyalty in the Han Dynasty. Whether it was the rebellion against Zhang Jiao and his like, the treacherous officials like Shi Changshi, or the rebellious officials like Dong Zhuo, his father always tried to fight against them. It is the front line of fighting against the big traitors!
However, the eldest son of Situ, who is a big man, stayed in Dagan, which is obviously difficult to make public!It's not that he hasn't been to Xiangyang City, and Lei Gong didn't restrict them, the elites and nobles, from leaving Hebei.

But neither his father nor the clan elders wanted their Taiyuan royal family to leave their ancestral land, because they watched Lei Gong grow up little by little, and the powerful families in the world didn't understand Lei Gong's strength better than they did.

Wang Yun and the elders of the Wang family discussed the situation in the world, and believed that the momentum of Dagan to seize the whole world was unstoppable. Their Wang family could have Wang Yun as a loyal minister, or they could let Wang Yun and the big man be buried with him, but it was impossible for the entire Wang family to be buried together. Be buried with the big man!If they really wanted to be buried with them, they would have been buried with Qin Chao long ago, and it is impossible for the Wang family to be passed down to this day!
So now the Wang family has been divided into two. Wang Yun took his youngest son and a small number of clan members in Xiangyang, while most of the rest of the clan stayed in Hebei!Wang Gai is the patriarch of the family, and there are many noble families like the Wang family in Hebei.

Although they can only be merchants now, they have gone through thousands of years, what have they seen!
The heroes of the Warring States Period, the First Emperor who unified the world, the Emperor Gaozu with a rogue in his atmosphere, the benevolent Emperor Wen of Han, the domineering Emperor Wu of Han, Wang Mang who wanted to change his fate against the sky, Emperor Shizu, the son of Destiny, all heroes and heroes. !They clearly understand that it is not common for a hero to become an emperor, but it is more common for a fatuous emperor!
Although Lei Gong is strong, he is just like Zulong. They understand that facing a hero like Zulong, they can only obey when it is difficult to resist, but when manpower is exhausted, no matter how powerful Lei Gong is, he can only rule the world For a short time, but after his death, there will no longer be such a powerful hero in the world, and then it is their time to act.

They can afford to wait for decades!The big deal is that they will go to Lei Gong's grave to have a feast at that time, let's see what Lei Gong can do to them at that time?

Disco dancing on graves is their forte. After Lei Gong dies, they will write Lei Gong's brutality and inhumanity in the history books. How unpopular they are!

It can be said that the nobles and nobles who stayed in the land of Hebei have this kind of thinking. The powerful monarchs have too much experience, so just bear it!As long as Lei Gong is dead, the world will still belong to them in the future!
Guo Yuan is obviously more mature than Kong Yu. He knows that this is a common method used by aristocratic families. In times of troubled times, separate families to ensure that he is on the side of the victors. Although Lei Gong is unwilling to accept them now, even if they become ordinary people We must stand on the side of Dagan.Like what they are going to do now!It's not that the big man hasn't failed yet, but the nobles in Qingzhou have sent them to start finding a way out!
Guoyuan thought for a while and said: "The patriarchs gathered here, obviously there are important matters to discuss, I will take my leave first, and come back to meet Brother Cui in the future!"

Cui Yi smiled and said: "It's not a big deal, Zini doesn't need to avoid it, this matter has already spread throughout Dagan, and even the big guys will know about it soon!"

Xian Yufu said: "Dagan has been fighting for years, and Lei Gong is generous to his subordinates. Those who died in battle can get hundreds of thousands of dollars in pensions, and ordinary soldiers can also get tens of thousands of dollars in rewards. You can get a reward of thousands of dollars, so extravagant, it is natural to spend money like water, several wars have been fought, and the entire land of Hebei has already owed 800 billion dollars!"

Guoyuan and Kong Yu were pleasantly surprised when they heard that Dagan owed 800 billion yuan. With such a large debt, it means that Dagan will not be able to send troops to the Central Plains in the next few years. This is great news for them. !

But Xian Yufu immediately extinguished their hopes and said: "Such a high debt made the entire senior management worry, so they sent Master Xiangkai to find Lei Gong to solve this problem. We thought this problem was difficult to solve, but I didn't expect Lei Gong to solve it!"

"It's impossible, how can such a high debt be solved, unless the Thunder Society has spells that can turn gold and silver!" Kong Yu couldn't bear the hope that his hope was shattered so quickly and shouted loudly!
But Cui Yi said: "The debt of 800 billion yuan is naturally unattainable for Dahan, but it is nothing to Daqian. Dagan's fiscal revenue this year is 384 billion yuan. This is still in the case of war. , if there is no war next year, it will definitely break through 400 billion yuan, such a high fiscal revenue, and pay off 800 billion yuan in debt, it will only take a few years for the world!"

"Not to mention, now Leigong has thought of other ways. He has a glass factory in his hand, and he is making money every day. It is said that this year's profit is expected to be 15 billion. Leigong sold this glass factory to big businessmen like Zhen An for 400 billion yuan! "

Then Linghu Chong mocked: "It's a pity that people like Zhen An were born as slaves. Although they are promoted by Lei Gong, their background is too low, and they don't have enough money at all. To buy a glass factory that is making a lot of money today, they will join forces. However, after spending 60 billion yuan, the shareholding is only more than [-]%!"
