Chapter 72
"Father." After Wang Changtai saw off Xiao Wei and his party, he immediately rushed back to the back garden and stood respectfully outside the pavilion. However, after waiting for a long time, he still saw no sign of his father, so he couldn't help but whisper.
The ground called out.
"Yes." Wang Yue was deep in thought when he was awakened by Wang Changtai's soft call. He glanced at Wang Changtai with a hint of dissatisfaction and said softly, which was regarded as a reply.
"Father, the child has sent Xiao Wei away, but I didn't know..." Wang Changtai wanted to ask what kind of conversation his old father had with Xiao Wei and what kind of agreement they had reached, but when the words came to his lips, he felt uncomfortable.
OK, he stopped talking and looked at his old father a little embarrassed.
"Tai'er, you will immediately send more troops to pass through Congling and see what the Black Bone Cult bandits are doing. Also, keep a close eye on Shule City. If anything goes wrong, report it immediately. Also, let Feng'er
Keep an eye on Gaochang City and temporarily hold back the Zheng family." Wang Yue ignored Wang Changtai's temptation and directly issued a series of orders.[
"Yes, my child obeys the order." Wang Changtai was extremely puzzled as to why his old father was so concerned about the affairs of the Black Bone Sect, but Wang Changtai did not dare to disobey the old man's order, so he hurriedly responded, but did not rush there.
He went to make arrangements, hesitated for a moment, and asked hesitantly: "Father, how should our Wang family deal with Xiao Wei? Please give me some advice from my father."
"Coping? Hehe, this son's ability is beyond your ability to cope with it." When Wang Changtai mentioned Xiao Wei, Wang Yue frowned slightly and sneered: "This son will definitely do something for me when he comes to Yanxi."
Tu, well, it’s better to be still than to move. Let’s just listen to what he says and watch his actions. If he really has different intentions, I will definitely not be able to let him return to the capital alive."
"Ah..." Wang Changtai obviously didn't expect that his father would think so highly of Xiao Wei. Hearing Wang Yue's murderous words again, he couldn't help but tremble and exclaimed softly.
"You must be so panicked." Wang Yue seemed to feel that what he said before was a bit exaggerated. Looking at Wang Changtai's frightened state, he smiled and said: "It's hard to predict the purpose of this son's coming. If
He truly loves the people, but he may not be a blessing to the people. Let’s see, if he is in trouble, Tai’er might as well help him out.”
"This..." Although Wang Changtai can be regarded as a man of extraordinary resourcefulness, his experience is far inferior to that of his old father. When he heard the contrast between Wang Yue's words before and after, he was stunned and stood still.
After a while, he bowed and answered: "Yes, father, the child knows what to do."
"That's good, you can go and get going." Wang Yue waved his hand, signaling Wang Changtai to step back, but he himself fell into deep thought again... "Xiaosan, what's going on? You said, I'm suffocated to death!"
In the large carriage, Fatty Tang blushed and glared at Xiao Wei as if he wanted to eat someone. He almost yelled in a roaring tone. No wonder Fatty Tang was angry - he couldn't follow Xiao Wei before.
Entering Wang's house together made Fatty Tang very dissatisfied. He waited outside for nearly an hour and was even more upset by being scolded by the gang of onlookers who came to make a fuss.
Without saying a word, Fatty Tang asked the same topic for the sixth time, but apart from getting a blank look from Xiao Wei, he didn't even say a word, so he couldn't blame Fatty Tang for being so angry that he wanted to kill someone.
Say? Let’s talk about it! Xiao Wei was also annoyed at the moment. He gave Fatty Tang a roll of his eyes unceremoniously again, lowered his head and then began to think about it - despite the fact that this trip to the Wang family seemed to have gained a lot, in fact
Whether these harvests can be obtained is still undecided. A thousand good horses are still every year. Although they have to be bought with real money and silver, the profits are huge, but it is no joke. Getting rich is still a trivial matter. The key is Yanxi
If the opportunity to sell horses is really opened, the fragile balance between the eight vassals and the imperial court will be completely shattered immediately. It is hard to say what will happen next, but no matter what, those vassal towns are absolutely
The imperial court will not tolerate the establishment of a powerful cavalry army. In this case, the war may spread across the Central Plains again. Although it is not Xiao Wei's turn to worry about these major events, the problem is that such
If the world is in chaos, it may not be conducive to Xiao Wei's plan to establish a foundation. At least, Xiao Wei never wants to see the scene of chaos before he has a certain ability to protect himself. Obviously, this
Thousand Horses is definitely a poisonous bait. How to eat it without hurting your stomach is worth pondering.
This old Wangtou is really sophisticated. Hey, he has a thousand good horses and a bear's milk. It's tempting, tempting! He knew the bait was poisonous, but the owner who gave it didn't do anything.
An was so kind-hearted, but faced with such a sweet bait, Xiao Wei couldn't help but be extremely moved. Of course, compared to the promise of a thousand horses, Xiao Wei was more concerned about how to get out of Yanxi's whole body.
The matter of retreat - in Xiao Wei's opinion, although Wang Yue threw out such a bait, it was a bit unreasonable, but his intention was to ensure the stability of Yanxi. The reason was very simple - Wang Yue was on guard against the imperial court.
The threat is much higher than that of the other parties. As long as the vassal towns are in trouble, the imperial court will have no time to take care of itself. It is impossible to send troops to invade Yanxi while it is weak. However, after a few years of difficulties, Yanxi will naturally rise again.
His intentions can be described as good, but in this way, it gave Xiao Wei a great opportunity to escape from Yanxi safely - as long as he can stabilize the Wang family, he can at least ensure that the Yanxi civil service system will not create problems for him.
Trouble, maybe we can take advantage of Wang Yue's desire to stabilize Yanxi and use his strength to push Liu Zhenxiong to the throne of the governor of Yanxi.
The Wang family's side is fine. As long as he doesn't do anything that harms Yanxi's interests, the Wang family will never have trouble with him. As for the bait thrown by Mr. Wang, it won't be too late to say it depends on the situation. What should be done?
It would be troublesome to face several other major families! The reason why Xiao Wei chose the Wang family first was not a random choice, but the result of careful planning - generally speaking, the thinking of Confucian children
It is seeking stability and adhering to the golden mean. The actions of the Wang family over the years are all based on the starting point of stabilizing Yanxi. This is also the reason why the governor of Yanxi has been replaced repeatedly, but the Wang family has never failed.
Of course, without the support of the Wang family, no matter who ascends the throne of the Governor of Yanxi, he will not be able to sit firmly. Xiao Wei saw through this and was the first to find the Wang family. The original purpose was
To mislead interested people, I didn't really expect to have any collusion with the Wang family, but the result was much better than Xiao Wei originally expected. At least it ensured that the Wang family would not come forward to embarrass him. I have to say this
It was an unexpected gain, but how to negotiate with other aristocratic families gave Xiao Wei a headache.
It sounds like the Liu family should be Xiao Wei's strongest support, but this is not the case. At least in Xiao Wei's own view, the Liu family is the biggest trouble, especially when Xiao Wei plans to take Liu Zhenxiong to power.
So, not to mention Liu Xiaoquan, the old fox who has become a spirit, is difficult to deal with, even Liu Zhenying, a guy who always has a grudge against the Xiao family, Xiao Wei finds it a bit tricky. Besides, is Liu Zhenxiong himself willing to take the position of Xiao Wei?
He didn't know for sure. In short, Xiao Wei didn't know anything about the Liu family. As for the remaining three aristocratic families of Zheng, Shi and Zhang, there was no need to talk about the Zheng family, let alone
Now most of the backbone of the Zheng family have hid in Gaochang City. Even if they are still in Jinchang City, Xiao Wei will never have the slightest common language with them. As a result, only the two great families of Shi and Zhang have to go.
He had faced it, but Xiao Wei had no idea about the situation of these two aristocratic families, so naturally he couldn't talk about how to prescribe the right medicine.
The Shi family? The Zhang family? Xiao Wei carefully thought about the situation of contact with the prominent members of the two families. Unfortunately, he got nothing, and he couldn't help but feel upset. But then he thought about it, now that he has a relationship with the Wang family
The person he came into contact with so urgently should not be himself, but those aristocratic families. Whether it was the Liu family, Shi, or Zhang, before he figured out the relationship between himself and the Wang family, he probably would not make any further moves.
, if he didn't move, these aristocratic families would have come looking for him. It is not impossible to turn against the guests and become the master. As the saying goes, it is better to be still than to move!
"Xiao San, are you going to say something or not? Come on, you are talking!" Seeing that Xiao Wei was still refusing to speak, Fatty Tang finally exploded. He leaned over and thrust his huge body in front of Xiao Wei, his face flushed.
He started shouting, almost pointing at Xiao Wei's nose and scolding him.
"I'm so anxious. It's okay. Go back and prepare your money. There are a thousand good horses waiting for you to pay." Xiao Wei had made up his mind at this time and was no longer upset. When he saw Fatty Tang, he exploded
Okay, he laughed, shrugged his shoulders, and said in a relaxed manner.
"What? A thousand good horses?" Upon hearing this, Fatty Tang's eyes immediately widened. He stared at Xiao Wei for a long time, and then he breathed out and said: "Xiao San, you are not
Are you joking, a thousand horses? Really a thousand horses?"
Xiao Wei looked at Fatty Tang leisurely and said slowly: "Wrong, it's a thousand horses per year."
"Ah..., a thousand horses per year?" Fatty Tang took a breath, and after being numb for a long time, he suddenly laughed ecstatically, stretched out his fat hand, patted Xiao Wei's shoulder and said, "Haha
Haha..., okay, mistress, our brother is going to get rich, get rich, hahaha..."
You boy, you are so proud of yourself, you are really a money addict! Xiao Wei slapped away Fatty Tang’s fat paws angrily, and said coldly: “It’s a thousand horses per year, but what, if you shout
Now that everyone in Yanxi knows it, these thousand good horses are gone, so you can take care of it yourself."
"Ugh..." Fatty Tang, who was laughing so hard, stopped laughing immediately when he heard this. He opened his mouth in an exaggerated manner and looked at Xiao Wei stupidly. His stupid look immediately made him laugh.
