When Pan Geng moved to Yin, I initiated Jian Shang

Chapter 257 The ax also grows

There is a curfew in Xin's family.

The time is after ten o'clock in the evening.

After finishing today's teaching, Xinqu returned to the Yamen. Before he entered, his eyes fell on the doorpost in the dark corner: "It seems that the position of the doorpost needs to be moved, otherwise it will be easy for someone to assassinate here."

Hearing this, Ax walked out of the doorpost, stood under the moonlight, and shook his head helplessly: "You are so sensitive to other people's sights. As long as you take one look at you, you will react immediately. Who has the ability to assassinate you?"

Xinqu shrugged: "Mission accomplished?"

"Of course, I will convey the news according to your wishes, but my idea is still the same as before, and they will not believe it easily."

"It doesn't matter, as long as the news is conveyed, Wang Zixun will come to a conclusion on his own."

"What about you? Do you want to pretend to be weak?"

"Why are you pretending to be weak?" Xin Qu opened the door of the yamen and walked in, with the ax following him.

"With the Xin family, even if you want to pretend to be weak, you still have to see how much wealth there is."

Xinqu lit the oil lamp, pulled up a chair and sat down.

Ax also sat down opposite.

"You should have been out for a walk, and you should be able to tell what Xin's background is like now?" .

As a result of his personality, he is very tough at heart and has his own ideas.

Ax leaned on the Taishi chair and leaned back: "To be honest, when you asked me to lead the team all the way south to explore the intelligence of various places, I complained a lot at first.

Because everyone is having a hard time, and they don’t want to live on their own one-third of an acre of land. Why do they always think about intelligence from the outside?
But after walking around, I did find that your idea is correct, because there is a super power that can directly affect all trends in all directions. "

Ax raised his head and composed his words and said: "The Shang clan is very big and very strong. If you really plan to rebel against them, it's best to start with tens of thousands of people."

"Does this set the tone?"

"Otherwise? Just how strong are the Shang clan in the south? You...you must have more confidence than me, but after actually going out and looking at them, I can only say...that they are hopelessly powerful."

"So a quick victory is not possible." Xin Qu shook his head slightly, "Even Wang Zixun is ready to fight a long and tough battle, but it shows that he is not sure that his own lineage can win.

If they fail to seize the throne, they will run away.

To the west it is easy to be killed by hostile forces, but to the north it is different.

The Rong clan needs the Shang clan to return to Hebei and the Central Plains, and fight with them against the Qiongfang, Tufang, and Guifang tribes that are moving southward.

Therefore, the Xin family should be one of the three cunning rabbit holes chosen by the opponent. "

"Then what you mean is that if the opponent fails to seize the position, are you going to help him take the position?" Ax blinked and looked at Xin Qu with serious eyes.

"How can you see that?" Xin Qu laughed, "He has failed in seizing the throne. He must be a tribute from King Shang. Why should I help him?"

"No, you will. Your attitude towards Wang Zixun is different."

Xiu sat up straight with a serious expression, "I mentioned Wang Zixun several times. From the beginning you thought about who he was, and then you recognized who he was. Just now I said you wanted to help him rise, but you just asked rhetorically without making it clear. Give me a no answer.

It can be seen that if things really develop like this, you may do this.

Supporting a prince to ascend to power, or splitting up the merchants in Dayi, will be of great benefit to the Xin family's territory you control. "

"Very good, he's grown up." Xin Qu looked at the boy in front of him, and he was already starting to have his own opinions even though he was barely fourteen years old.

It seems that I made the right decision by stocking up during this period.

Why should this kid be thrown out to let loose? In addition to really needing information from the south, there is another point, that is, this kid is his only "weakness".

In this era, when you are a clan leader or chief, being unselfish and selfless may seem good and can be very scary, but you will not be able to live for long if you are impersonal.

After all, the rule of law is not perfect and the population is only so large. In fact, Xinqu was no more than a village chief earlier.Anyone who has been around at the grassroots level knows that the village chief will go out with a bowl when eating, and mediate while eating. Only when he really can't handle it, will he hold a meeting to cause trouble.

But Ax is young, mentally immature, and easily led.

If someone stares at the ax and guides him to cause trouble, if you choose to be selfless, you will be awed and alienated by most people, because you will not even spare your closest relatives, what will they think of you?

There's probably no benefit to working for you, and you might throw me away if something goes wrong.

But if you choose to cover up, it will easily affect other emotions later.

There was no concept of a country at this time. The clan itself was a big family. The clan leader was the head of the family and was responsible for mediating and conciliating. Moderation was the only way out.

Therefore, based on various considerations, Xin Qu threw the ax out, a little harshly, but wealth was gained through danger.

A sergeant title is something that others can only get after going to the battlefield countless times.

The ax has only been out for a little over half a year, and you can get it even after returning from a failed mission.

As a result, no one had anything to say, because compared to other tribes that openly distributed benefits to their relatives first, Xinqu was already very restrained.

This is a good patriarch.

In short, Xinqu is very happy. The boy Ax has begun to mature mentally, his experience is effective, and he can feel more at ease with the follow-up arrangements.

"Don't always smile like that. Sometimes I think you have changed, but you are always the same as before." Ax's eyes moved slightly, and he suspected several times that his brother had lost his soul.

But his care for himself never stopped.

"Really? Haven't you changed too?" Xinqu laughed, "Okay, no matter what the south thinks, our goal is to dominate the Haihe River and control Zhuolu to become a hub for east-west exchanges.

In this way, we can be extremely powerful.

As for what the south thinks, it doesn't matter. If they come to attack us, we might as well do it in the richer places in the south.

We are a clan that mainly engages in farming. Even if we become Fang, our coveting of the south is far less than that of the Guzhu clan next door.

They really dare to go south, but what I want is to proceed steadily and gradually expand.

Therefore, in the past few years, we will not have direct conflicts with Dayi merchants, and we can even help them block Tufang, Shanrong, and Guzhu.

As long as Wang Zixun nods, I can use his name to trade with the south.

Whether it is the Shang clan or other clans.

A special connection is what I want.

But this also means that we will be involved in the internal fighting for the royal power of the Shang clan.

So good people have to be chosen.

The old witch chose Zi Lian (Xiao Yi).

Then I will choose Zixun (Pangeng).

Clans must place their bets separately, just in case.

Well, in the recent period, there is no need to go to the Wei brothers often. Study hard. If we want to conquer the south later, I will appoint you as a military commander.But you have to be able to read and write military orders and letters. "

"Oh." Ax nodded slightly.

At this time, a figure came in from outside the door. He saw it was Wu Xiaoye. Thinking of the legends in the clan these days, he couldn't help but look at Xin Qu strangely: "I've long thought something was wrong between you two, but I didn't expect you to actually take action. Forget it, I’ll go back first and you guys can talk.”

When Wu Xiaoye came to the stairs, his face turned slightly red when he heard this.

Xin Qu clicked his tongue and told this kid to get lost, then got up and followed Wu Xiaoye into the back room. Finally, he had some time to rest, but don't let this bastard get you into a bad mood.
