Three Kingdoms: I don’t want to fall in love in troubled times

Chapter 102 Righteousness
Inner house.

Wang Yi heard someone knocking on the door, it was the old concierge's voice.

She is fifteen or sixteen years old this year. According to the custom at this time, she is the age when she should get married.

Although her facial features and body are still immature, it can already be seen that she is a beautiful woman.

According to Wang Zhan's plan, since Zhao Ang was the son of a family friend, was of the right age, and had made a name for himself in the county, he was the perfect son-in-law.

If the visit goes well, we can discuss marriage with the Zhao family in West County.

As for his daughter's opinion, Wang Zhan naturally did not consider it.

Although the Wang family did not come from a very high background, their upbringing was first-rate and strict. This was mainly due to the teachings of his strict father.

Daughter Wang Yigeng has been familiar with "The Biography of Women" since she was a child. In addition to her natural intelligence, she has learned the style of a sage and a person of lofty ideals, speaking and doing things with integrity.

Wang Zhan often lamented that it was a pity that his daughter was not a man, otherwise the Wang family in Hanyang would have great hope of making further progress.

"Miss, the master of the house asked you to find a place to take shelter," the old concierge said, "there may be something going on at home."

Wang Zhan was sitting in the main hall. When he saw Xu Jiashu walking in, his speculations became more intense.

This person's figure and appearance are also suitable.

"Boluo Valley," Wang Zhan tried, pretending to hear about this place for the first time: "I have never heard of this place."

"This is where the Qiang people live," Xu Jiashu simply pretended to be Qiang people. "It's at the foot of Liupan Mountain and in the valley next to the Jing River. There are a hundred thousand people."

Seeing that he called himself Qiang, Wang Zhan continued to test him and said something in Qiang language.

The Qiang and Han people have lived together in Liangzhou for many years. As long as they are Han people born in the local area, they will know some Qiang language.

Contrary to his expectation, the young man opposite responded fluently and spoke very authentic Qiang.

Wang Zhan suddenly hesitated - if this person was really Xu Zimao, he was from Luoyang and had never been to Liangzhou. How could he speak better than himself, a local Han? You must know that the wanted order was issued not long ago!
Don't make a mistake yourself
As he hesitated, a girl walked in outside the main hall door.

Xu Jiashu guessed that this must be Wang Yi.

"Father, why do you ask me to stay away first?" Even in front of outsiders, the girl spoke openly and honestly.

Xu Jiashu discovered that Wang Yi always had a habit of frowning slightly when speaking, appearing stubborn and forceful.

Wang Zhan didn't expect his daughter to come to him like this, so he quickly made up for it.

"Nephew Zhao Weizhang hasn't come yet," he explained, "I asked you to dress up first."

"What my father said is wrong. Can a woman be judged by her appearance as a virtuous woman?" Wang Yi retorted seriously: "In ancient times, there were sisters who liked to admire their sisters. In the early Han Dynasty, Zhao Feiyan's disaster happened. How can it not be explained? Problem?"

It was just a random excuse, but Wang Zhan looked embarrassed when his daughter quoted him from the past.

Xu Jiashu was slightly shocked - Wang Yi was actually the most conservative girl among these simulators!
It should be noted that Confucian ethics were not so tightly constrained in the Han Dynasty, at least according to the people around Xu Jiashu.

Old Man Cai had a daughter, and he doted on Cai Yan very much. Therefore, although Miss Cai was a model of a lady in front of outsiders, she still maintained a lively girlish nature in private.

Not to mention the eldest princess, as the legitimate daughter of the old Liu family, she may have learned some palace tactics from Queen Song when she was a child, and the emperor's mind, etc., which are secret secrets of the Tian family. As for Confucianism, which is known as Rulers naturally do not learn knowledge, and they do things without any scruples.

Not to mention, she was the only one who dared to secretly kiss Xu Jiashu in front of everyone before parting!
Only the Wang Yi in front of him, even though he was young, showed the side of a girl with moral education.

Although he has a youthful and pretty face, Xu Jiashu inexplicably hallucinates that Wang Yi is wearing black-rimmed glasses and lecturing others to behave according to etiquette.

What disciplinary committee?
Wang Zhan felt that the misunderstanding was solved and this young man was definitely not Xu Zimao, so he discussed business matters seriously.

Frankly speaking, he is very willing to do business with the Qiang people, they are a good trading partner.

The Qiang people in Anding County are mostly distributed in isolated places and are rarely affected by wars. The herbs and grain they produce are urgently needed goods in other parts of Liangzhou, and what they need themselves are generally iron tools. Such things, and it can't be said that I know much about goods, and I can get rid of ironware of lower quality.

If you can exchange for enough food or medicinal herbs, you can make a lot of money by transporting it to any warlord's territory. Even if the amount is astonishing enough, you might even get an official position from the warlord!
Of course, Wang Zhan was not interested in the official position - the rebel official position was of no use, but would only cause embarrassment.In running a family in the Han Dynasty, the most important thing was reputation. Didn't you see that Yuan An relied on his reputation to create the great cause of the fourth and third generations of the Yuan family in Runan!
Back to trade.

Xu Jiashu's conditions are very simple. He needs a large number of farm tools and as many weapons as possible. He will pay with copper coins in the early stage, and in the later stage, he can barter with grain and herbs.

According to his plan, when these farm tools and weapons are obtained, he can start the conquest in the Boluo Valley. When the entire valley is captured, he can use tax revenue to feed back trade, forming a positive cycle and rolling the snowball. .

What Xu Jiashu didn't know was that the abnormal payment method he proposed made Wang Zhan suspicious again.

Where did the Qiang people get so many copper coins?Isn’t it all bartering?
It's just that Wang Zhan still has no flaws on his surface.

Seeing that the business was going smoothly, Xu Jiashu felt that he had finally found a way to leave safely and make business - that is, Gan Ning escaped first in his own name, and took the remaining people with him in the name of merchants. Return to Boluo Valley with the goods.

perfect!

Wang Zhan found an excuse to leave and went to the side room to summon the servants to prepare for arrest.

Xu Jiashu was waiting for him to come back in the main hall with peace of mind, but saw Wang Yi obediently holding a cup of tea and handing it to him.

Father, it’s true, how can you leave a guest here alone?

She was a little helpless, and the servants were not here, so she had to go out in person to treat the guests.

"Where has the head of the family gone?" Xu Jiashu asked casually.

"He went to call someone," the girl replied politely, "I don't know who to call either."

Wang Yi looked very sorry.

[Business seems to be going well, but through Wang Yi’s words, you know that Wang Zhan is recruiting people, so you decide.]

[[-]. Kidnap Wang Yi and threaten the Wang family to accept the conditions. 】

[[-]. To oppose Dong Dayi, Xiaozhi should use etiquette to impress him with affection! 】

[[-]. It’s still too late to run now! 】

【[-]. Free Simulation】

It is impossible to run, not in this life.

If it was in a safe situation, Xu Jiashu might still have time to think about it slowly and figure out a high-scoring ending. But now is the time for the simulator to work. The more direct and aggressive the strategy, the more likely it is that he will get enough results in a short time. Information.

Then what remains are option one and option two.

Anti Dong Dayi?

You can take a gamble. Now that you are famous all over the world, betraying such an anti-Dong righteous person will cause great damage to your reputation.

Of course Ma Teng doesn't care about reputation, but Wang Zhan doesn't necessarily care.

As long as the family reputation is more important in his heart than the three melons and two dates given by Ma Teng, then he can resolve the matter peacefully, and maybe he can tie the Wang family of Ayang County to his chariot and become a stable long-term allies.

As for being a kidnapper.
What are you thinking?

The time I arrested Miss Lu, I was forced to have no choice!
If given a choice, Xu Jiashu still hopes to be a good person.

Having made up his mind, Xu Jiashu chose option two.

He went directly to Wang Zhan.

"I am Xu Zimao," Xu Jiashu said straight to the point, "I hope that the head of the Wang family will take action against Dong's great cause and help!"
