Datang Nongsheng

Chapter 118

Samurai Xun, who had been on a ship in his early years as a businessman, was surprised by the built-in features of the Happiness, but he didn’t ask any extra questions. After taking his seat in the larger restaurant on the third floor, Sun Xiangfu asked Zhao Long to invite everyone on board. Ten meters away, when the cabin door is closed, only the two of them can hear the content of the conversation inside.

"Mr. Ying, these Japanese people should be related to your son!" Sun Xiangfu said directly without turning a corner.

"Well, it was Gouzi who did it, but I won't admit these words out of this door." Samurai Xun nodded and looked at him calmly.

"The thing about Chang'an provoking Turkic rebels..."

"He did it too, but he is not the mastermind." Before Sun Xiangfu could finish asking, the warrior Xun answered first.

"Uh, are you just allowing Young Master Ling to die like this?" Sun Xiangfu was at a loss for words.

"Death? Hehe, that's a good word, but if you don't try to die, don't you need to die?" Samurai Xun looked at Sun Xiangfu and said.

"Your Majesty is not a bloodthirsty person today." Sun Xiangfu said so, but saw the unbelieving expression of the warrior Xun.

It's no wonder he doesn't believe it, even his own brothers, brothers, and even all their descendants will not be spared, you want others to believe that he is not bloodthirsty?

"Okay! Let me put it another way, if you don't want to die, you may not die, but if you continue to die like this, you will definitely die, and it will implicate the whole family." Sun Xiangfu said helplessly.

"Not necessarily. He died once in Chang'an, and as a result, the old man was demoted to Yangzhou. Now it seems that he should live more comfortably than Xiang Pei in Chang'an!"

What the warrior Xun said was right. If he hadn't left Chang'an, he would have been the number two figure in Li Yuan's old minister party. Then Pei Ji's plan would definitely pull him in this time. Even if he didn't die, he would be labeled as dead now.

"Did Mr. Ying know in advance that Mr. Ling provoked the military chaos in Chang'an?" Sun Xiangfu continued to ask in a daze.

"Of course, if it wasn't for the old man's deliberate indulgence, do you think that naughty son could steal the old man's seal and forge official documents?" Samurai Xun said with a smile on his face.

"I see, you deliberately let Wu Yuanqing do this, just to give His Majesty an excuse to demote you, then this time..."

"The old man thinks his position is too big." Samurai Yu answered with a nod.

All right!Sun Xiangfu had nothing to say to a person who was bent on self-defense, but thinking about it, it was wrong. Since the warrior Xun talked to himself alone, there must be something he wanted to exchange with him, so he simply asked, "Yinggong thinks what to do with this matter!"

"As long as you agree to the old man's request, you can deal with these Japanese people yourself. How about reporting to the emperor? It's up to you, how about it?"

"No matter how I deal with these people, I won't be able to bring benefits to me, so why should I agree to your request on this condition." Sun Xiangfu shook his head and said.

"Hehe, profit comes first, which is somewhat similar to the old man's fortune. Then, let's talk about profit. You have just entered the city, and you have already contacted people from the Four Great Families of Yangzhou!"

"Yes." Sun Xiangfu nodded.

"Have you reached a cooperation with them?"

"No."

"Even if you are not too stupid, the four great families in Yangzhou are the same powerful families as the seven clans and five surnames. They are the ones who work together and will not sincerely cooperate with you." The warrior Xun looked at Sun with a hint of admiration. Enjoy the road.

"The lower official was a little skeptical, so he didn't make a decision lightly. Could it be, what news does your lord know here?"

"There is no specific news, but Wang Lin arrived in Yangzhou a few days ago, and he was relatively close to Gouzi."

Warrior Yu mentioned Wang Lin, and Sun Xiangfu narrowed his eyes. It seems that what Xi Junmai said is true, then Li Xiangdie belongs to Wang Lin, and Wang Lin has reached an agreement with the four great masters of Yangzhou. That's why Li Xiangdie told himself that she was from the Zhu family and was used to confuse Sun Xiangfu.

Then, it's not hard to imagine the purpose of these people's cooperation with them. They want a whole set of Wangjiang Tower's artist training, stage design skills, and even cooking skills.No wonder Li Xiangdie's offer was so good that Sun Xiangfu couldn't refuse. It turned out that he wanted to use this as a breakthrough to copy the entire management system of Wangjianglou.

But if you don't cooperate with the four great masters in Yangzhou, it may be very difficult to establish Wangjiang Tower in Yangzhou. First of all, you can't even recruit a singing and dancing artist.

"My lord, why don't you talk about your interests! Maybe we can cooperate." Thinking of this, Sun Xiangfu said.

For a period of time in the future, the samurai Xun is likely to be the acting leader of Yangzhou, because the court is really short of officials, especially such high-ranking officials who can stand on their own. The governor who led the local state capital far away sent a long history to take charge of government affairs, and reached an agreement with the samurai Xun, who was in charge, so that Sun Xiangfu could do things much more conveniently, at least the troubles like today would not happen.

"If one day, His Majesty wants to kill the old man, the old man hopes that you will do your best to save the life of the old man's family."

When the samurai Xun said this, Sun Xiangfu understood in seconds. He was afraid, but even if Sun Xiangfu didn't know history, he still knew Empress Wu Zetian!If Li Shimin intended to kill his whole family, where did Empress Wu Zetian come from?
Of course, Sun Xiangfu would not be so stupid as to refuse to agree to such a cheap condition, but he still pretended to be very embarrassed and said, "Ying Gong is a bit difficult for others."

"The old man knows that you may not be able to do it yourself, but the old man also knows that you have attracted many allies in Chang'an, and your allies can help you do it. If you agree, then as long as the old man is still in Yangzhou, he will definitely do his best. help you."

"Yinggong is sure to fight against the four masters of Yangzhou?" Sun Xiangfu deliberately lured.

"I'm not sure, but it's not completely impossible." Seeing that Sun Xiangfu was still hesitating, the warrior Xun said again, "Before the old man came to Yangzhou to take office, His Majesty added the post of Yangzhou Tuntian envoy to the old man. What to plant in the field, the old man has the final say."

Sun Xiangfu raised his brows when he heard the words. Indeed, this right seems to be nothing, but it is very useful in practice. The four major families occupy more than half of the land in Yangzhou, more than Qianqing. If they are all allowed to grow soybeans, that season At least one million shi of soybeans can be produced, but the only one who receives a large amount of soybeans is the Food Supervision Department. If the time comes, if you lower the price yourself, or refuse to accept the soybeans in their hands, then the losses of the four families will definitely be a lot, after all However, transporting soybeans from Huainan to the horse farms in the north, which needs more soybean feed, will cause a lot of loss.

Of course, this is only one aspect. With the support of local top leaders, it will be difficult for the Four Great Masters to monopolize the needs of Wangjiang Tower in terms of manpower and material resources. In addition, they can also provide Wangjiang Tower with absolute force protection, and security is guaranteed. Then, even without cooperation with the four major families, it seems that the branch of Wangjianglou in Yangzhou can be opened.

"If there is such a day, I will do my best to keep the family safe, but Wu Yuanqing is not among them."

Although Sun Xiangfu likes money, he is unwilling to let him do things he doesn't like for money. Let him protect a person who wants to kill him again and again. I'm sorry, and I can't do it.

"Forget it, if the old man disagrees, I'm afraid you won't do your best. Yuan Qing is not in the list! Then, tell me how I should help you!" The warrior Xun nodded simply, Wu Yuanqing although The prodigal family is useless, but he is his eldest son after all. However, seeing Sun Xiangfu's resolute face, if he doesn't agree, then there is nothing to discuss about this matter. In the end, he still chose to compromise.

"Well, you have a lot to do. First of all, don't restrict the planting, fishing and other aspects of the farm under the name of Wangjiang Tower. In addition, secretly recruit a group of people..."

Sun Xiangfu had a secret discussion with the samurai Xun in the cabin for an hour before coming out. At this time, many luxuriously dressed Japanese people came outside the pier. It seemed that the masters of these Japanese warriors had come, but these people Without permission, he was stopped outside the cordon by Yangzhou city guards.

"Ying Gong, if I want to kill these Japanese warriors, what will happen?" Looking at those people wearing Japanese official uniforms, Sun Xiangfu said coldly.

"Waguo has always been obedient to my Tang Dynasty. They are indeed team members. Why do you want to kill?" Hearing this, the warrior Xun was a little surprised. In Yangzhou, there are already many Wa people in this period, and the number is increasing every year. , They sent a large number of people to learn the culture of Datang, and even settled in Datang directly. Although there is no official contact, the court is acquiescing.

"Humble? That's just superficial. When they see something that can change their national destiny, their ambitions are exposed. For example, if this boat falls into the hands of the Wa people, within ten years, the Wa country will become My Tang's confidant's trouble."

The samurai Xun was not without political foresight, so he just nodded lightly when he heard the words. To his surprise, Sun Xiangfu gave orders to his subordinates decisively at this time.

"Zhao Long."

Sun Xiangfu yelled and wiped Zhao Long's neck. Immediately, blood splashed on the pier, and many guards saw that the leader started to kill people with their knives, and they also slashed at the Japanese people who were knocked down on the ground.

"Master Sun, why is this?"

The warrior Xun turned a blind eye to this scene, but Xuanzang ran out to persuade him.

"Master, if these people don't die, more people will die. Do you think I should kill them or not?" Sun Xiangfu explained helplessly.

"Amitabha, these people's crimes are not worthy of death!" Xuanzang was filled with compassion, but it was obviously useless.

"Baga, how dare you massacre our warriors..."

Outside the defense line of the city guards, those Japanese envoys were annoyed, and even pulled out the Japanese swords from their waists, trying to attack the blockade of the officers and soldiers.

"Master, please look, this is the true face of those Japanese people. They rob us, just kill us. If we want to kill them, they will draw their swords immediately. If I hadn't rushed back in time, Master might have become their ghost , and talk about the great cause of learning from the scriptures."

In fact, the first war between the Tang Dynasty and the Japanese nation started 30 or [-] years later. Of course, Sun Xiangfu, who did not read much history books, did not know that his dislike for the Japanese people was brought from later generations, and this During that period, the official Japanese envoys to the Tang Dynasty had not been dispatched at all, and they were waiting for the Central Plains court to stabilize, so Sun Xiangfu doubted the identity of this guy wearing the official uniform of the Wa Kingdom.
