Chapter 16 New Investors
The army of ten thousand begins to embark on the journey of return.
The Yellow Turban Rebellion has nothing to do with it, and participating in it will be like being enemies of the aristocratic families of the game's initiators. At this stage, this is the most irrational thing.
As long as the clan really intends to cause trouble for Liu Ming, Liu Ming may not only lose his official identity, but also be framed and eventually have to embark on the road of rebellion.
This time, the civil officials recruited Tian Chou and the military officers recruited Tian Yu, Zhao Feng and Huang Zhong. According to their current identities, this is already very good.
The rice needs to be eaten in one bite, and there are still a few years before the princes' divisions.
To be honest, Liu Ming was actually a little too late to wait.
When they passed through Songzhai, Zhuang Ding came out to ask for a meeting, saying that the head of the Song family, Song Zu, had an invitation. Liu Ming and Song Zu were at least acquainted with each other, and they had already entered their circle of interests, so they agreed.
Song Zu personally greeted Liu Ming and others in front of the village. Liu Ming dismounted and made a few words to him, and then signaled the army to enter the village.
It was still the dinner party, and it was still those people, but there was one more Huang Zhong.
Song Zu obviously also discovered Huang Zhong's existence and couldn't help but look at it.
There are children in the family serving in the military, and Song Zu is still a little sensible about military generals. After a preliminary look, he found that Huang Zhong was definitely not a person in the pool, and he was 100% of the powerful generals!
If it were in the past, such talents must be won over. It would be best to make him swear allegiance to the Song family, and then the Song family will work hard to slowly push him to a higher position; otherwise, by using the method of marriage, he will tie him to the Song family's chariot!
But now Huang Zhong is sitting there and has a very harmonious relationship with Zhang Fei and others. Song Zu is not a fool. He knows that Huang Zhong is afraid he can't find any more, so he can only sigh that Liu Ming is lucky and that such talents can be found under his command.
Liu Ming changed into a loose Confucian robe tonight. The vicissitudes and sharpness of the battlefield were completely covered up, and he looked elegant and generous, and he was completely a piece of young masters. In addition, he was quite handsome, and as soon as he appeared, he instantly killed the maids around him.
Song Zu couldn't help but sigh: What a young man!
This is the case in this era, and it is inevitable that those who judge people by their appearance will often prosper. Those who are beautiful will often prosper, but those who are poor will be hard to get appreciated by others even if they have real talents and knowledge.
It has to be said that Liu Ming’s current appearance really made Song Zu sincerely admire him.
I couldn't help but think of marriage.
Both sides made a few polite words, sat down on the table, put three glasses of wine into their stomachs, and the banquet officially began.
After drinking three times and dancing five times, the leisure time ends here.
Zhang Fei and others continued to eat. Anyway, such an important thing had nothing to do with them. Song Zu was generous and provided with free wine, meat and vegetables. You can eat as much as you can!
After a few polite words, Song Zu expressed his original intention: "The general made a deal with those guys?"
The aristocratic family is a small circle, and the gossip is difficult to keep secret. After all, there are spies in the families of both parties who have been lurking for a long time. However, everyone abides by the rules, and all the secrets are only circulated in this small circle, and there is no external broadcast.
Liu Ming knew that he could not hide it from Song Zu, but in fact he did not intend to hide it, so he said frankly: "I don't think I can fight them head-on. After all, I am just a small county magistrate who is not worthy of justice, plus a young general who is not a good person."
This is the truth, and no one can refute it. Even with all the aristocratic families in the circle of interests, it is difficult to completely resist those behemoths. Especially if the emperor does not support them, they will only be crushed to death by those clans.
"General, don't worry, I'm not planning to pursue something. In fact, these days, the clans have also restrained themselves, at least they have received no news of any village being compromised. As for those villages that were compromised, their children scattered elsewhere may still be laughing secretly." Song Zu laughed.
After hearing his words, Liu Ming couldn't help but be stunned.
He didn't expect that in this era, the method of "don't put eggs in a basket" was already popular. At the same time, he did not expect that the children of the sidelines had such an objection to the children of the sidelines.
In addition, the resources of the entire family are given priority to the direct line, so that the direct line can grow better and lead the family to a stronger road. As for the common branch, it is not that it is not taken care of, but it is like a different difference compared with the direct line.
Now that those villages of the direct lineage have been destroyed, the scattered branches in other places will automatically be upgraded to the direct lineage. If you don’t laugh at them, it’s really unreasonable. But this makes people feel indifferent.
Seeing Liu Ming pondering, Song Zu was drinking tea leisurely until he found out that he had finished his consideration, and continued to say: "How about the position of the county magistrate of Zhuo County, and the position of military general from General Jianwei to General Huyi, and the fourth level of promotion? If you are not satisfied, what about the position of 2,000 stones of food and grass, and 5,000 war horses?"
"The price!" Liu Ming was stunned at first, and then immediately asked.
"We will do our best to seize the civil and military officials positions in the counties under Zhuo County. We will operate the positions of open and unconscious means. We only hope that the general can take care of the situation of the same circle of interests." Song Zu narrowed his eyes and said.
It is worthy of being a noble family!
Liu Ming sighed in his heart.
But, isn't this appetite too big?!
"All civil and military officials will naturally accept your supervision from the general. In fact, they can be regarded as your subordinates. In terms of loyalty, as long as the general does not violate the ultimate interests of our circle, they are definitely the most loyal existence. Speaking of which, the general does not need to worry. Our interests are in the Central Plains, and in Youzhou, we really have no interests to say." Song Zu said with a smile.
His meaning is very clear, that is, in fact, Liu Ming doesn't need to pay anything at all. Instead, he gave away a large number of family children in various worlds and served under Liu Ming's command.
"If that's the case, I'll make a profit. But why do you have this?" Liu Ming looked at Song Zu seriously. After all, he didn't believe that there was love in this world for no reason.
"Investment, that's all." Song Zu answered casually, as if it was nothing big.
Zhang Fei was stunned for a moment, then continued to eat wine and food in a little sadness.
He couldn't help but do this. After all, the original unique goods were finally discovered by other investors! But his Zhang family could not raise their heads in front of these investors.
It can be said that the benefits brought by Liu Ming, a strange product, are afraid that the Zhang family can only drink some soup.
"If your family members follow me wholeheartedly, don't blame me!" Liu Ming said 'evil'.
"In that case, we will invest more! By that time, you have proved with your actions that you are indeed worthy of our investment!" Song Zu said with a smile, obviously expecting it.
"Trade!" Liu Ming immediately made a decision.
Chapter completed!
