In recent days, Kang Zhendai's mood has been extremely bad. Not only has the financial and material resources invested by the Kang family in Zhang Bei been lost, the most important thing is that the prestige of the Kang family has also been severely damaged.
In the past two days, some people have begun to set restrictions on the Kang family's business. Zhangjiakou officials who were good friends with the Kang family in the past have also intentionally or unintentionally distanced themselves from the Kang family. Kang Zhendai sent someone to inquire, and it seemed that it was the order of Zhangjiakou's guard Hei Yunlong.
Although Zhangjiakou was not Hei Yunlong's favorite, civil and military officials had to give him some face. Kang Zhendai knew very well that this must be what Tie Mo meant. After that guy completely solved Zhang Bei's troubles, he began to take revenge on the Kang family.
.
Kang Zhendai really regrets it now. If he had been less scrupulous and got rid of Tie Mo at all costs, he would not be in trouble today.
But at that time, who could have thought that Tie Mo would have such great energy?
In one year, he has grown from a small guard soldier to a powerful man who plays the role of Zhang Beicheng and is in charge of the vast grassland. This growth rate is really amazing.
To this day, anyone with a discerning eye can clearly see that Tie Mo, Zhang Bei's garrison, is only superficial, and the power he truly controls is much greater than his garrison duties.
As the Golden Sword Consort of the Naiman Tribe, he regained the Naiman Tribe and the Sunit Tribe. It can be said that except for Tie Mo, there is no second voice in the Hanhai Prairie. The two tribes have a combined total of more than 20,000 capable people.
Recruit soldiers who are good at fighting.
If Tie Mo is willing, he can make Zhangbei and Hanhai Grasslands prosperous regardless of Xuanfu.
A year ago, this man was just a small military householder. In Kang Zhendai's eyes, he was just an ant that could be crushed to death at will. He usually didn't even bother to look at him.
Tie Mo's forbearance and intelligence are truly rare in his life.
Only now did Kang Zhendai understand why Tie Mo said those harsh words when they first met a year ago.
I still remember that in the Hongxiang Pavilion last year, Tie smiled innocently and said a harsh word.
"Hey, Second Young Master, you've gone too far in bullying me. I'll definitely kill you next time I have a chance!"
I clearly remember that when I heard this sentence, my first reaction was that it was funny, and I felt that only an idiot would say such a thing.
On that day, preparations had actually been made to leave all Tie Mo's people in Zhangjiakou and let them disappear from this world quietly. But after hearing Tie Mo's harsh words, Kang Zhendai suddenly didn't want Tie Mo to die so quickly.
.
What should I say?
It's like an adult teasing a naughty dog. It would be boring to kill it directly. It would be interesting to tease the dog slowly and make it feel powerless, and finally kneel down and beg for mercy.
Tie Mo, a poor military man, still wants to take revenge on the Kang family, which is the most ridiculous thing in the world.
Let him live, and eventually he will kneel on the ground like a dog and be buried in the soil.
Kang Zhendai felt that Tie Mo was a sick dog that he had control over and could be killed as he pleased. Therefore, with the intention of teasing, he let Tie Mo and his men leave Zhangjiakou. Because from the beginning to the end, Kang Zhendai did not feel that Tie Mo was a sick dog.
Mo Neng threatens the Kang family.
But, it was really wrong.
Tie Mo must have said those harsh words on purpose that day. If he didn't say harsh words to stimulate him, the possibility of leaving Zhangjiakou alive would be very small.
Is it a way to provoke generals? It's not clever, but it's just that you were fooled.
Even if he knew it was a method to stimulate generals, so what, last year I never thought that Tie Mo could achieve what he does today.
Recalling the past made Kang Zhendai feel even worse. There will definitely be more troublesome things next. Tie Mo will not stop here. Hei Yunlong has obviously reached some kind of deal with the man named Tie. With Hei Yunlong's help,
Tie Mo's influence will soon penetrate all parts of Zhangjiakou, not to mention the help of several Shanxi merchants such as the Chang family and the Cao family.
Can the Kang family stop Tie Mo's next offensive?
To be honest, after a series of failures, Kang Zhendai no longer had much confidence. Just when he was at a loss what to do, he heard a message from his servants saying that Qiao Liuyun was visiting.
After gathering his mood, Kang Zhendai went to the living room to meet Qiao Liuyun. Qiao Liuyun was different from other Shanxi businessmen. The Qiao family was the most important ally of the Kang family. If the Qiao family had a grudge against the Kang family, then the Kang family would really have nothing to do with it.
The Dharma gained a foothold in Zhangjiakou.
"Brother Qiao, I came here in a hurry today. What's the important thing?" Kang Zhendai bowed his hands and gave a salute. His attitude was indescribably kind and he was no longer as arrogant as before.
Seeing the other party lowering his body like this, Qiao Liuyun secretly laughed in his heart, "Kang Zhendai, do you have times when you humble yourself?"
However, Qiao Liuyun was older and more tactful in dealing with things. He never mentioned Zhang Bei's matter, but told Kang Zhendai about the troubles the Qiao family encountered in Urg.
"Second Young Master, now that our Qiao family's caravan has arrived in Urg, it can be said that there are constant troubles. After this business trip, not only did we not make any profit, but after careful calculation, we also lost a lot. If this road is blocked in the future, I will
The Qiao family is doomed."
Although what Qiao Liuyun said is a bit exaggerated, it is also true. Today, the Qiao family's industry is far less than that of later generations, and it is mainly concentrated in the leather trade. And the leather trade, it is impossible not to go through the Urge Shuangquan Sea, if it is only in Zhangjiakou
Or if Zhang Bei buys furs for processing, his profits will be greatly reduced.
Kang Zhendai was holding the tea, his brows were furrowed tightly, there was a trace of anger in his heart, but he didn't dare to express it, and his face was very ugly.
Qiao Liuyun seemed to be complaining, but in fact he was making conditions. Not only did the Qiao family lose all their money in Zhangbei because they followed the Kang family, but now their core business was also threatened. At this time, the Kang family could either compensate Qiao
If the family suffers a loss, they must either find a way to solve the Kang family's troubles, otherwise, the Qiao family will have to find another way out.
"Brother Qiao, I believe that everything is only temporary. It only takes a while for us to repair the relationship with the Living Buddha Jebtsundamba. You also know that our Kang family does not support the Living Buddha's construction of Urg.
For those who have little funds, the living Buddha still gives us this face."
Qiao Liuyun secretly smiled in his heart, glanced at the corner of his mouth, and said with a faint smile: "But the Living Buddha does not have much friendship with our Qiao family. Now, it is obvious that the Living Buddha has turned to Tie Mo."
"Brother Qiao, what do you mean?" Kang Zhendai finally couldn't hold back the anger in his heart, and his tone became much gloomier.
When Qiao Liuyun saw Kang Zhendai's reaction, a trace of contempt suddenly appeared in his eyes. This Kang Zhendai was not very capable, but he had quite a temper. He couldn't stand this little grievance? Kang Zhendai was angry, and Qiao Liuyun was even more angry.
We all form alliances with each other to help each other and benefit each other, to earn benefits together, and to bear risks together. These are all things that should be done.
Last year, the Qiao family suffered a lot from the incident at Mantou Mountain, so they didn't say anything. This year, Zhang Bei's investment also lost everything, and the Qiao family didn't say much either.
However, trust has its limits, and no matter how good an ally is, it does not mean that we can disregard any gains and losses. Moreover, Qiao Liuyun has always had a grudge against one thing.
