Chapter 463: Plan to Buy Zhang Lu
This funeral also achieved a winning effect.
But this was not what Xi Yu wanted. He would rather not win people's hearts, but hoped that Lin Yang could still live.
And a monument has been erected for Lin Yang, and the inscription was also written by Xi Yu himself.
The whole funeral took place for a morning.
Soon, people dispersed, but Xi Yu still wanted to stay here to express his condolences.
After a while, several soldiers were accompanying him.
But Xi Yu said that it would be enough to let everyone leave, and he wanted to spend time with Lin Yang alone here.
Gradually, only Xi Yu was left in the entire cemetery.
There was a pine and cypress next to it, and there were many leaves on the ground. A breeze blew, making Xi Yu's face particularly desolate.
After a while, Xi Yu would feel a figure coming to him.
He turned around, but it was Dongfang Hong.
"How did you come here?"
"I came here to comfort you. I know you are particularly sad, so I want to be here to accompany you."
Xi Yu nodded, and Dongfang Hong didn't say anything.
The two of them stayed here quietly until Xi Yu was a little hungry. He turned his head and said, "Okay, we can go back."
After Xi Yu went back, he remembered what the Huns said about the treasures of Wuhuan that day.
He planned to write a letter to Meng Huo and tell him about this matter, hoping that he could find the treasure as soon as possible.
But this matter must be carried out in secret to avoid being obtained by criminals.
A few days later, Meng Huo received the letter, with Mrs. Zhurong beside him.
"There is actually a treasure on the Wuhuan side. No wonder the Huns attacked. They conspired with Aruba. But this fool Aruba didn't know what was going on."
He thought to himself that if Aruba knew, he would definitely find the treasure first.
"Husband, what is written in Xi Yu's letter?"
Meng Huo then handed the letter to the other party for a look.
"It turns out that the last time Mr. Xi went back, he heard them say this on the road."
"Yes, but Mr. Xi said that this matter must be kept confidential and never tell others."
"Don't worry, husband, I won't tell anyone."
That night, Xi Yu was lying on the bed, thinking about a question.
During the funeral process, he originally wanted to tell everyone about Cao Pi's conspiracy.
But he didn't do that in the end.
He can't come up with evidence now. He is considering whether this is right or wrong?
The next day, he called Jia Xu, Zhuge Liang and Zhou Yu to have a meeting together.
However, the three of them looked bad when they saw Xi Yu, and they were probably still sad about Lin Yang's death.
Xi Yu didn't say anything, and the three of them didn't dare to breathe.
After a while, Xi Yu looked at Zhuge Liang.
"Zhuge Liang, have you noticed that you have not seen Zhao Zilong for a long time recently?"
Before Xi Yu mentioned this question, Zhuge Liang really didn't pay attention, but now he realized that it was true.
"It's true, Xi Gong."
He thought, did Xi Yu send Zhao Zilong to do something important?
Xi Yu then asked Zhou Yu to tell me the specific story.
Zhou Yu started eating that day and told everything about the fake Zhao Yun.
Zhuge Liang was shocked. It turned out that this was the case.
"Because you were still fighting at that time, it was normal not to know. Also, Lin Yang died here."
In fact, Zhuge Liang was wondering yesterday who could kill the secret guards. He didn't expect that there was such a link here.
"Mr. Xi Gong, I heard you say that. Is there anyone who is more influential than the secret guard?"
But it has been confirmed that this is true now.
"We don't know whether Zhao Yun is dead or alive. Zhai Rongping is now locked in a prison. I'm asking you to come today, just to ask you, should we tell you about the matter of Cao Pi colluding with other places?"
Then let the three of them discuss, and the three of them discuss fiercely.
They also wanted to kill Cao Pi.
"Cao Pi deserves to die, but now if we want to make the matter public, we have no evidence," Zhou Yu said.
Jia Xu said: "Mr. Xi, we have no evidence, and if we say it out, wouldn't we let the people of the world know that we are deliberately making arrangements?"
"Yes, so I'm worried about this place."
Even Xi Yu thought about it, not by himself, but by others' words.
At that time, Xi Yu will come forward to clarify that this kind of thing is not trustworthy.
That is to say, if you act in a play with the people who tell the news, the people can still see that this matter is true.
But I guess it will be guessed that this is what Xi Yu is dominated.
The best way is to let Zhai Longping come out and say it personally.
But Zhai Longping would definitely not be happy because his family was still in Sima Yi's hands.
Zhuge Liang believed that evidence should be retrieved.
Zhou Yu asked him back.
"Even if you collect evidence, how can you collect it?"
Xi Yu smiled bitterly, so this matter seemed to be unsolvable.
Several people smiled bitterly.
Zhuge Liang suddenly said, "By the way, Mr. Xi, have you ever been to Kunlun Mountain? The kind of ninja you mentioned may have a solution to the two old Taoists on Kunlun Mountain."
A word reminded Xi Yu.
The authorities are really confused and the bystanders are clear. Why did he ignore this?
But can those two old Taoist priests really solve the problem?
But try it yourself.
"That's great, Mr. Kong Ming also provided a suggestion. I can try it when I have time, but it's hard to say whether it works."
Xi Yu said: "Let's talk about another thing. This matter is very important. You three are my right-hand men now, so you must ask for your opinions."
Xi Yu immediately took out the map.
He proposed a concept of three-legged tripod.
Zhou Yu and Jia Xu both felt inexplicable, but Zhuge Liang was very surprised.
Because Zhuge Liang also analyzed the general trend of the world.
Cao Wei is now in the north.
Most parts of Jiangnan have already returned to Xi Yu.
The third part is Sichuan and Shu.
The location there is particularly important. After all, that place is easy to defend but difficult to attack, and it is deep in the basin.
Maybe a great prince will emerge there, but first of all, without many forces, that great prince can be at peace with poverty and be at peace with his own life.
But once there is a turmoil, the place cannot be kept.
When Zhuge Liang heard about Liu Bei for the first time, he even thought about protecting Liu Bei.
Let Liu Bei occupy that place.
Of course, after I defected to Xi Yu, there was no need to implement all this.
But he really didn't understand why Xi Yu said this.
Is it said that Xi Yu is really a genius?
Or is he able to find out his privacy?
Xi Yu looked at Zhuge Liang with a smile.
"Mr. Kongming, I believe you understand this matter better than me. Why don't you tell them about it?"
Zhuge Liang was even more stunned.
What does Xi Yu mean by saying this? This clearly shows his inner thoughts.
"Mr. Xi, why did you ask me to tell them both?"
"It's very simple. Both of them felt particularly confused, but you looked calm. I believe you know this better."
Zhuge Liang thought to himself that he was showing a surprised expression, so how could he calm down?
But he still explained his analysis.
When Zhou Yu thought, he seemed like a reckless man, no one else considered it like Zhuge Liang.
After listening to Zhuge Liang's words, Zhou Yu felt that it made sense.
But he wondered if Zhuge Liang and Xi Yu had already agreed on this matter and insisted on singing a double act here?
Xi Yu nodded.
"Yes, what he said is exactly what I want to say to you two."
Moreover, Xi Yu proposed to the three of them the concept that the world's trend will be together for a long time, and that long time, the combination will be divided.
"So at present, Cao Pi and I are the two largest princes, and the location of Sichuan and Shu is particularly important. Relatively speaking, there is an advantage over us. Therefore, we must now win over Sichuan and Shu and officially become our territory, so that almost all the entire south of the Yangtze River will be owned by us."
Zhou Yu immediately said, "Mr. Xi, what do you mean is that we want to buy Zhang Lu?"
Xi Yu nodded. One of Zhang Lu's biggest characteristics was that he liked to pass on the Five Dok Rice Sect, so he provided him with conditions.
Let him increase the scope of missionary work. He may be only in Sichuan and Shu at present, so Xi Yu allows him to preach freely in other territories.
He also provided him with some preferential conditions and specific conditions, and he had already thought about them.
But Zhuge Liang said, if this is true, then wouldn’t this five dou of rice be taught to make it bigger and it would be uncontrollable then?
"Don't worry, since I said that, I've already thought about everything."
Xi Yu also cited the example of the Yellow Turban Army back then. It was also because the people were living in poverty. The Golden Army Day was an example of faith, and received support from the people, and then killed corrupt officials and opened up food and grass.
In fact, more people are concerned about their own survival problems. As long as this can be solved by them, there is no need to worry about everything.
Jia Xu touched his beard and said, "Mr. Xi has a good idea, but this should be a very long process."
"So we should send someone to travel to the tax. And this time when Meng Huo attacked, Cao Pi actually made a lot of negative actions. Although he eventually sent troops, the number of people was too small."
Moreover, to a certain extent, Cao Pi still hoped that Sichuan and Shu would be defeated.
In this way, he would be able to ask for help from himself, and Xi Yu was always with him that Cao Pi had brought with him, so when the envoy went to Sichuan and Shu, he could bring this letter.
Xi Yu laughed.
"Cao Pi must have never expected that I would give the letter he wrote to me to Sichuan and Shu."
"So, for this substantial question, I will choose from among you three, and you can see who is suitable."
This time, Xi Yu did not make appoint directly, so he still asked them to discuss it themselves.
Afterwards, Xi Yu stood up and said, "I'll go out for a walk. If I were here, you might be embarrassed to recommend yourself."
Xi Yu said that he would go to the street and come back later, hoping that there would be a result then.
When Xi Yu came to the street, he saw many people buying New Year’s goods.
It's so fast, the Chinese New Year will be in five more days.
He suddenly remembered that in his previous life, there would be commercial rewards in supermarkets during the New Year.
So should the chamber of commerce established in Youzhou now have some preferential policies?
That's right, I should tell Sun Zhongmou this question.
So he went straight to the headquarters of Youzhou Chamber of Commerce.
Sun Zhongmou was planning to feel a figure appear in front of him.
When I looked up, it was Xi Yu.
He quickly stood up and saluted Xi Yu.
Xi Yu said, "I won't be invited, it won't affect your life, right?"
"The Master of Xi has no effect. I wonder what you will teach you this time?"
Xi Yu sat down and asked him to tell the Chamber of Commerce that a discount must be given during the New Year so that the people can have a good New Year.
Sun Zhongmou was a little embarrassed. He said that a meeting was being held today, and the merchants were planning to raise the price just to make a good price during the Chinese New Year.
Moreover, the Chamber of Commerce is also planning to discuss whether it is appropriate and is preparing to report it to Xi Yu. Unexpectedly, Xi Yu actually asked everyone to discount it.
Xi Yu then told him the truth that small profits and quick turnovers were too small.
"I did this not to make people lose money, but to make everyone sell better. Of course, the amount of concessions is not very large, I think everyone should be acceptable."
Sun Zhongmou said that since Mr. Xi said that, he will definitely find a way to do ideological work for everyone.
"It's great, but we are not doing a one-man show. We cannot be forced to do everything. If these merchants have any reasonable opinions, they can also be adopted."
Xi Yu also learned about the recent development of the Chamber of Commerce, and realized that he had not paid attention to the matter here for a long time.
After all, I was crazy for a long time some time ago.
Xi Yu read some information and found that many businesses planned to open branches in other places in the next year.
"Xi Gong, their business is getting bigger and bigger."
Xi Yu sneered.
"What do you think is their purpose of opening a branch?"
Sun Zhongmou shook his head.
"They probably don't want to abide by the rules here, so they can develop freely when opening branches in other places. However, we must set another rule in the next step. Even if they develop in other places, they must abide by local rules, just like the local model, otherwise the membership will be cancelled."
Sun Zhongmou also knew the interests of the matter, but asked again: "Mr. Xi, it's a bit inappropriate to do this. Wouldn't this restrict their hands and feet?"
"No, you have to do this, otherwise if you have a price per place, it will basically be messy. The next time you give them a meeting, you will directly explain this. Of course, there will definitely be people who are unhappy. If that's true, let them communicate with me."
Sun Zhongmou also agreed.
Xi Yu slapped his head.
"It's broken. I've been out for a long time. The three of them are studying the problem. I guess they are already waiting in a hurry. I have to go back quickly."
The three of them have indeed been waiting for a long time. They originally thought that Xi Yu would be back in a while, but why didn’t they wait for so long?
Jia Xu said he was willing to go.
First of all, he is a civil servant, so it is very appropriate to do this. As for Zhuge Liang just came back from Jiangnan, he should have some rest.
And Zhou Yu may have new tasks.
Zhou Yu really planned to go together, but seeing what Jia Xu said, he had to agree and let him go first.
Zhuge Liang had no objection, so he waited for Xi Yu to come back and quickly told him about the matter.
But he has not returned yet.
When Xi Yu came back, she smiled.
"I'm really sorry, I forgot that you three were having a meeting and went around the Youzhou Chamber of Commerce."
Xi Yu immediately sat down and asked the three people what the discussion was.
The three people said it was Jia Xu's past.
Actually, Xi Yu thought so too.
"Very good, Mr. Jia, you have worked hard and made great contributions. This time, you will accompany you with a few elite soldiers, including your safety. You must be careful on the road."
Jia Xu also joked, saying that he also wanted to go for a walk in another place.
So with such a good opportunity, you can visit the great rivers and mountains, this is a good choice.
"I feel very relieved that you can think so."
"Mr. Xi Gong, then set off immediately, or after the Chinese New Year?"
"Of course, after the New Year, there are only four or five days left. We are not in a hurry at this moment. Everything will be held vigorously after the New Year."
Xi Yu said that since the discussion has been made, there is nothing else to do now, so let everyone break up for the time being.
After all the three of them dispersed, Xi Yu remembered that he should have prepared New Year's goods after just going to the Chamber of Commerce.
Although this matter can be handled by servants, the pleasure of going shopping and shopping is irreplaceable to others.
Soon, he also told Ouyang Linlin the news.
Ouyang Linlin was also full of joy.
Tonight, he happened to be resting in Sun Shangxiang's room.
He also told Sun Shangxiang directly the news.
Sun Shangxiang also felt puzzled, because when he was in Jiangnan, he would buy things by servants, so they didn’t have to worry at all.
"Husband, do we have to go there in person? Of course, we have the pleasure of going there ourselves. This is not something that a servant can replace when buying things."
Sun Shangxiang could imagine that the big market would be particularly lively at that time.
She also remembered the scene of her brother going to the market when she was a child. Unexpectedly, so many years have passed.
Seeing that she was stunned, Xi Yu asked her quickly.
"What are you thinking?"
"I was thinking about what happened when I was a child. The market was very lively at that time."
Xi Yu immediately took his hand.
"I know you are still nostalgic for the past, but I am actually nostalgic for my past life."
The past life that Xi Yu talked about was in the past life, but unfortunately he could never go back.
"And now this is your home. I will definitely treat you well."
This sentence made Sun Shangxiang particularly moved.
"Okay, husband, should we rest?"
Chapter completed!
