I will not be king in the Spring and Autumn Period

Chapter 66
Whether Shuniu has any relationship with the Ji family of Lu State, or even with Qi State, Li Ran is still not clear at this time.After all, in his opinion, the only way to explain why Shu Niu is so hostile to him now is the possibility of colluding with the Ji family.

On the other side, after Ji went back first, he made arrangements immediately, and asked Shuniu to stop the plan of transporting grain to Weiguo for sale, and went to donate grain instead.

This annoyed Shu Niu, who was in charge of the matter early in the morning, and when he got the news, he hurried back home from the warehouse angrily.

"Father! Why did you suddenly change your mind?!"

"Though the three thousand stones of grain are not much, if we donate all of them, wouldn't our family suffer a blood loss?"

Shu Niu seemed extremely excited, and was very puzzled by the arrangement of sacrifice.

After all, he had been in charge of this matter all along, and now that such a big decision was made, his father had never discussed it with him beforehand.How does this not annoy him
Seeing this, Ji Xian's eyes swept back and forth on him, with a faint worry in his eyes.

"This is an agreement between the old man and the doctor Zichan. My son doesn't need to say too much, just do it."

As soon as the voice fell, Jixian looked very tired on his face, and waved his hand to signal Shu Niu to step back and make arrangements.

"But father..."

"Okay... Can't you understand the words of the father?"

Seeing that Shu Niu still refused to give up, Ji Xian's face suddenly changed slightly, two sharp gazes burst out from the eagle's eyes, and fell directly on Shu Niu's face, the majesty was beyond words.

It stands to reason that at this time the vertical cow saw his father's color, so he should have reacted.But he seems to be extremely concerned about this matter, even at this time, he still has to figure it out.

"Father! Forgive me for taking the liberty."

"We have made an agreement with Qi E, the doctor of Wei State, that we will transport grain to Wei State for sale. Once this batch of grain arrives in Wei State, we will complete the handover with them. The profit is quite good. Now that my father has suddenly changed the sale to donate to Weiguo, so we are not trustworthy? How can we do business with the doctors of Weiguo in the future? Moreover, it is not easy to explain to Weiguo Qixi what."

"The reason why I dare to say these things is because I don't want others to say that I don't believe my words!"

Shu Niu's face suddenly became very sincere, and he put the interests of Jishi more important than anyone else in his words.

However, Jixian only shook his head when he heard the sound, and then said slowly:
"Dealing with the Qi family in Weiguo is very rewarding. Have you ever thought that if we transport food to Weiguo this time and only seek to trade with the powerful, then what will the high officials of Zhengguo think? ?”

After talking with Li Ran today, Jixian's brain circuit became clear all of a sudden, and he refuted what Shu Niu said with reasonable grounds.

Even though Shuniu is not going to sell the grain directly to the people of the Wei state, but to the dignitaries of the Wei state.But in his view now, this move is also extremely dangerous.

In other words, the food transported to Weiguo this time could not be bought or sold, but could only be donated.

Li Ran has already analyzed it very thoroughly. If his hands and feet are not clean at this time, it is likely to end up with nothing but fame and fortune.

When Shu Niu heard this, he knew that his plan for this operation was in vain, and the expression on his face suddenly became very angry.However, in front of the sacrificial priest, how dare he get angry on the spot, so he had no choice but to turn away and clenched his teeth bitterly.

At this time, Ji Xian and suddenly said lightly:
"You don't want to go to Weiguo this time, and leave it to your two younger brothers."

"Father?"

Shu Niu was startled when he heard the sound, and suddenly turned his head, his face full of indescribable disbelief.

Things that had been planned properly had undergone such a huge change at this moment, and even now he was temporarily withdrawn as the person in charge.Rao Shi Niu has always been known for his calm mind, but at this time his expression suddenly changed.

"What? Are you unwilling to let your two younger brothers go to practice?"

Jixian's tone also changed slightly, and it sounded like a chilling tone.

The struggle within the Ji clan is actually nothing new, and Jixian has long been aware of it.

But he also wanted to see which of his three sons was more suitable to take over as the head of the family.Therefore, I have always turned a blind eye to this matter and never said much.

But Shu Niu, because of his status as a concubine, has always been diligent and diligent.Compared with his other two younger brothers, his performance is indeed much better.And this is exactly where Jixian has been hesitating.

However, it is obvious that Shu Niu is no longer suitable to be in charge of transporting grain to Weiguo this time.He wanted to ensure that this batch of grain would not be traded off without authorization, so he had to replace it with someone else.So naturally, the other two sons-in-law are the most suitable candidates.

The meaning of what he said is actually very clear. Internal struggles in the family are family affairs. You should always distinguish the importance of this kind of external affairs, and don't delay the interests of the entire family for your own selfishness.

Shu Niu naturally understands this, but he is still not reconciled, after all, he has been busy with this matter from beginning to end.Seeing that the departure was imminent, Jixian suddenly changed his job, and he wanted to give this credit to his two younger brothers in vain. Wouldn't it be a waste of money for him to fetch water from a bamboo basket?

"Father, the child doesn't understand, why? What did the child do wrong?"

Shu Niu was very aggrieved, but listening to these words, there was still a sense of questioning.

In fact, it is not difficult to see from this that Shu Niu's current status in Jishi is second only to Jixian, and as he has more and more family affairs in his hands, he dares to do so even in the face of Jixian's arrangement. Doubt it.

"enough!"

"Just do it according to the father's arrangement, why are there so many problems!"

Ji Xian had no patience to explain to him again, his expression changed, and he said suddenly.

Shu Niu was startled when he heard the sound, he could only swallow back what he wanted to say, gritted his teeth and said:

"Yes, the child obeys his father."

After he left, Jixian called his servants and called his other two sons to come.

"Ji Wang, Ji Xun, the two of you will be in charge of going to Weiguo for disaster relief this time."

Ji Wang is the second child, tall and big, comparable to Ji Xian, but he doesn't look very smart, after listening to Ji Xian's words, he was dazed for a moment before responding.

And although Ji Xun is a bit clever, he still doesn't quite understand the arrangement of Ji Xian at this moment, and he is a Buddhist, so he just wanted to ask if his brother Shu Niu has always been in charge of this matter?But Jixian gave him a hard look, and he stopped immediately.

"This time, the food for our family sacrifice and the food for the court are all donations. After they arrive in Weiguo, they will return immediately after delivery with the people of Wei. There is no delay, understand?"

Jixian looked at the two sons in front of him, with a taste of hatred in his tone.

Compared with vertical cattle, the difference between Jiwang and Jixun is too much.

This time, taking advantage of Shu Niu's dissatisfaction with this matter, they happened to be replaced by the two of them. On the one hand, it was to train them, but on the other hand, the sacrifice also meant to restrain and beat Shu Niu.

It's just that such words cannot be said in front of Ji Wang and Ji Xun, anyway, they and Shu Niu are also half brothers.
