Chapter 34 The deal is concluded. Seize the opportunity?
Thinking of this, Yuan Shu decided to give up Yuan's shop and maximize his profits. It would be better if he could become a Yuzhou pastor, but not the governor of Runan.
As long as you return to your base camp, the sky is as high as the birds can fly, and the sea is as wide as the fish can jump. Firmly take root in Runan, then lay out Yuzhou, reach out to Yangzhou, gather the land of the two states, raise troops and go north, take Yanzhou, Jingzhou, Xuzhou, and Qingzhou
…
But how to deal with Yuan's shop?
Initially, I thought of handing over Yuan's shop to the general He Jin for management. But thinking about the current situation in the court, although the general said that he was competing with the power of the ten permanent servants, in reality, the ten permanent servants had the upper hand, which made
Yuan Shu ruled out the idea of handing over Yuan's shop to the general.
Yuan Shu also thought about directly handing over the management rights of Yuan's shop to the emperor, but doing so suddenly would make Emperor Ling suspicious, and it would be difficult for him to explain.
After weighing the pros and cons, Yuan Shu thought of Shi Changshi...
If you give the entirety of Yuan's shop to Shi Changshi, and then indirectly express your goodwill, you can take this opportunity to ask to return to Runan!
Yuan's shop is a treasure that lays golden eggs. If Shi Changshi takes over, the current situation of himself and Yuan will be improved.
What's more, during the Yellow Turban period, these ten constant attendants still needed to say a few kind words in front of the emperor, so that they could exchange their military exploits for more benefits!
Little did they know that Lu Zhi was imprisoned precisely because of the frame-up of the Ten Constant Attendants. If Yuan Shu had made a contribution to the crusade against the Yellow Turbans, he was wiped out by the Ten Constant Attendants.
After much deliberation, Yuan Shu still felt that it was very right to hand over Yuan's shop to Shi Changshi in exchange for benefits. Shi Changshi regarded wealth as his life and expropriated it violently! He wished he could get the right to operate Yuan's shop as soon as possible.
Now Yuan Shu is planning how to transport the wealth, secrets and soldiers in the Huben Forbidden Army camp accumulated in Luoyang in the past two years back to Runan.
Especially the soldiers in the Huben Forbidden Army Camp. Although they have not killed the enemy on the battlefield in the past two years, under the training of Chen Dao, Yu Chigong and others, they are as powerful as a rainbow and can carry out orders and prohibitions.
Bringing him back to Runan, he is definitely an elite among the main force! Just the devilish test once a week made many people unbearable, but they were able to persevere in the end.
Yuchi Gong and other commanders spent countless efforts on subsequent training.
Thinking of this, Yuan Shu quickly wrote a letter and waved to his servants to secretly hand over the letter to Yuchi Gong and others.
The main content of the letter is to ask Yuchi Gong to assemble the soldiers from the Huben Forbidden Army, and then take the soldiers' families with them, waiting to set off for Runan!
"Dian Wei, where is Yuan Ji? Follow me to the mansion of Zhang Rang, the Shichang Shishi."
Now that you have made a decision, you must act resolutely!
Prepare gifts and two bodyguards, and visit Zhang Rang, the ten permanent servants...
Taking a horse-drawn carriage and a cup of tea, we arrived at Zhangrang's Mansion. It was splendid and magnificent, twice as big as Yuan Feng's Mansion and even bigger!
The outside of the mansion was heavily guarded, with soldiers patrolling with weapons and standing guard. They saw Yuan Shu's carriage parked outside the mansion. The soldiers came to inquire and saw that it was Yuan Shu, the general of the House of Tigers and Lieutenant General, who was visiting.
After temporarily collecting the weapons of the group, everyone was allowed to enter. Yuan Shu then asked his servants to move the prepared boxes of gifts to the lobby of the mansion!
Zhang Rang received the news when the weapons of Yuan Shu and his party were taken away, and waited in the lobby. Seeing that Yuan Shu had brought so many boxes of gifts, he couldn't help but be a little surprised.
I was at odds with the Yuan family, but Yuan Shu came to visit me with gifts, and I couldn't help but feel a little confused.
"Yuan Shu, the general of the Tiger Guard, pays homage to Mr. Zhang. I hope you will not find it objectionable to me as a small gift..."
Then Yuan Shu waved his hand, and the servants opened the boxes.
I saw that the box was filled with jade, pearls and jade ornaments, real gold and silver, rhinoceros horns and mink skins...
This made Zhang Rang's eyes unable to leave the treasure chest for a while, staring at it. His eyes were full of greed and desire, which made Yuan Shu disdain him!
"I wonder what Master Huben will do in our house in the future?"
Although Zhang Rang was greedy for money, he still knew his priorities clearly. He straightened his clothes and asked Yuan Shu why he came here.
Seeing Zhang Rang asking him, Yuan Shu didn't mince words and said straight to the point.
"Actually, I came here today to ask for something. I've heard for a long time that your lord is very concerned about Yuan's shop, and you know that, lord.
Yuan's shop is making a lot of money every day. If this shop is handed over to you, it will surely prosper..."
Yuan Shu first told Zhang Rang roughly the income of Yuan's shop. Of course, Zhang Rang knew all this, but he did not interrupt Yuan Shu's words and just nodded silently.
"What's the purpose of Highway's visit this time? It's to hand over the full authority of Yuan's Shop to your Lordship.
Highway has always had an idea, which is to return home in rich clothes and benefit the whole country..."
After all, there was so much foreshadowing. Zhang Rang finally understood that Yuan Shu came to him and said that he would give all Yuan's shops to him.
The purpose is to change the local official Dangdang. From Yuan Shu's tone, it seems that he couldn't stand the fighting in Luoyang City, so he chose to return home...
Since Yuan Shu had this intention and offered such a great gift like Yuan's store, Zhang Rang was naturally speechless and nodded, indicating that he understood what Yuan Shu meant.
"The road is good... We will submit a petition to His Majesty to confer you the title of Yuzhou... No, the Governor of Runan. We can set off after Your Majesty agrees!"
When Zhang Rang mentioned Yuzhou, Yuan Shu's face flushed with excitement. The next moment he mentioned Yuzhou, Yuan Shu's face became complicated again.
But it’s okay, it’s good to be replaced by a local official from Runan. After all, my home base is in Runan!
Yuan Shu then mentioned the soldiers of the Huben Forbidden Army. He simply said that he needed soldiers to protect him when he returned to Runan. The journey was long and difficult to travel!
There are many bandits and thieves along the way, and you may suffer disaster if you are not careful...
When Zhang Rang heard Yuan Shu's words, he nodded nonchalantly. At this time, all Zhang Rang could think about was taking over Yuan's shop and making money every day!
"Okay, okay! Let's write a memorial now and present it to the emperor tomorrow morning.
You can handle these matters by yourself, and there is no need to discuss them in detail with our family."
Zhang Rang, who looked impatient, waved his hand to indicate that Yuan Shu could leave.
Looking at the big male duck in front of him, Yuan Shu felt sick. Now that the deal has been reached, there is no need to stay here.
After saying goodbye to Zhang Rang, Yuan Shu left without looking back.
"What the hell! How shameless... Dian Wei, where is Yuan Ji? Come with me to Yuan's shop!"
Suppressing the anger in his heart, Yuan Shu and others came to Yuan's shop.
At this time, the business of Yuan's shop was booming, and Shen Wansan was too busy to deal with it, so he recruited several new businessmen.
Among them were Su Shuang and Zhang Shiping, the guys who would donate the Taoyuan Three Brothers Shenbing and BMW in the future.
Unexpectedly, Shen Wansan actually recruited them. It seemed that Uncle Liu Huang and the three of them had their opportunity taken away by him...
