"Ben Hou taught you, doing business is an art of survival, it is always inseparable from the influence of politics, learn to stand in line, you can do business better!" Mu Jing patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile.

"Xu is deeply instructed!"

Xu Shen knelt down and bowed respectfully.

"Clean up the portal, you don't need Ben Hou to teach you personally!"

"No!"

"If you do something wrong, you will be punished, and you don't need Ben Hou's reminder!"

"Wancheng Commercial Bank is willing to undertake the construction of the official road from Wancheng to Xiangyang, regardless of any benefits, and Wancheng Commercial Bank has four granaries in Nanyang, and is willing to contribute to the Minghou Mansion free of charge, and please accept the Marquis of Junqing!"

Xu Shen is a smart person, since he has taken the blame and does not let the blood, he will not be able to live, since this blood is to be released, then be ruthless, at least he can win the forgiveness and trust of the Ming Hou Mansion.

"Courageous!"

Mu Jing smiled, then waved his hand: "This matter is over, go back!" ”

"No!"

Xu Shen exhaled a cloudy breath, and only after Gong Jin's salute did he turn around and leave.

Looking at his back, Xu Shu was a little puzzled, and asked in a low voice: "Minghou, since you want to use it, is this punishment too ruthless, it is difficult to guarantee that he will not have resentment in his heart!" ”

"Do you know what it means to do business?"

Mu Jing asked rhetorically.

"Doing business?" Xu Shu shook his head: "Shangjia knows, rarely dabbling!" ”

"Doing business, that is, buying and selling with small and broad business, you scholars all think that those who buy and sell, buy and sell, do not work, just oppress the common people, but what you don't know is that the risk of doing business is far higher than you think, and if you are not careful, you will go bankrupt!"

Mu Jing said lightly: "Do you think Xu Shen is so generous, he is admitting his guilt, is he making me angry, wrong, he is investing, or may not have an investment, but once the benefits are harvested, it is also extremely huge, this is the transaction!" ”

Invest in the Ming Hou Mansion.

In the future, it is possible to become an imperial merchant.

Ordinary people don't have the courage to do so.

Xu Shen is good, he at least dares to do it, most of the investment in the early stage must be wasted, Nanyang Yizhou, this acre and three points of land, can not let Wancheng Commercial Bank jump out and become the head of the merchants.

But in the future, if the Minghou Mansion successfully unifies the world, then Wancheng Commercial Bank can continue this channel and make the business out, and this time it will be the harvest.

"Shinong industry and commerce, the way of businessmen, after all, is not the right way, governing the world, you can't follow its way!" Xu Shu strengthened his mind and retorted.

"Depose the hundred schools of thought and respect Confucianism alone!"

Mu Jing said lightly: "The four hundred years of the Han Dynasty, isn't it still in this world, Confucianism and Taoism must be the right way?" ”

"The collapse of the country is not the fault of Confucianism!"

"Everyone is at fault, you just can't see it!" Mu Jing shrugged his shoulders and said: "Don't talk to me about this here, I can talk to you for ten days and half a month, but I'm a little annoying, especially the self-righteousness of you Confucian children, I'll be direct and tell you my point of view, in my heart, the people of the world, each in their own way, Shinong, industry and commerce, regardless of high and low, indispensable, this can have a prosperous world!" ”

"I don't agree!"

The will of the reader has always been firm, and Xu Shu responded to Mu Jing's words: "I want to see Minghou, if I can make the world have a prosperous world!" ”

"Then you have to open your eyes and see it!"

Mu Jing smiled, he still liked Xu Shu's temper very much, this kind of person would not betray, and if he had a firm belief, he would follow him to the end.

……………………

In Wancheng, Mu Jing did not stay for long.

He didn't have time to stay long.

The Central Plains War is in full swing, he must go west as soon as possible, enter the battlefield, and look at this battle more carefully, otherwise he feels that he can't see clearly.

All the princes, each with a ghost, will suffer if they have a little less calculation.

In the next three days, he began to inspect Wancheng, including the urban construction work of Wancheng, the Cao officials of the county guard, and the inspection of the people of Nanyang, all of which went smoothly, and then discussed with Cai Tu and them about the progress of the Nanyang plan.

When he leaves Nanyang, it is estimated that it will be the time for Nanyang's opportunity to start, and at this time, he has to make an arrangement first to ensure that the plan can be carried out faster and faster.

The last thing is to arrange the movement of the Violent Bear Army.

"Old Zhou, the Violent Bear Army will withdraw from the north as much as possible!" Mu Jing instructed Zhou Cang.

"But isn't what we're defending is Wuguan and Yuzhou, both in the north, and now we are withdrawing, okay?"

Zhou Cang was puzzled.

"Now that the Central Plains has fought hard enough, don't be greedy and go in, just leave a small number of troops to defend it, and the main force still has to be released!" Mu Jing said to Zhou Cang in a low voice: "At the beginning of spring in February, the Beiwutang secretly ordered the War Tiger Battalion and Wuxi Battalion to go south, do you know why Nanyang didn't gain a firm foothold and was in such a hurry to let the main force go south?" ”

"Jingzhou?"

"It's good to know!" Mu Jingdao: "I'm waiting for news from Jiangdong, once Jiangdong agrees to join forces with us, even if the Central Plains War continues, I will immediately start an attack on Jingzhou, and then the safety of Xiangyang can only rely on the Violent Bear Army!" ”

"The last general commands!"

"What do you think of Xiangyang Camp?" Mu Jing asked.

"Lei Bo is an excellent general, and now he is also rootless duckweed, usable, usable, it's best to use it!" Zhou Cang replied.

"For you!"

Mu Jingdao: "Merge the Xiangyang battalion into the management system of the Violent Bear Army, and use it as an independent battalion under the command of the Violent Bear Army, Lei Bo will be promoted by half a level, and the captain of Xiangyang will also serve as the general of the Violent Bear Army!" ”

"Yes!"

Zhou Cang's eyes lit up, and since then, the Violent Bear Army has more strength, and it will be better able to deal with the next situation.

"I'm staring at others, others are staring at me, I let you put the main force in the south, but the north can't be ignored, I don't dare to guarantee Cao Mengde's house, will he take advantage of the fire to rob and kill into Nanyang, don't let him enter Nanyang when the time comes, we haven't noticed it yet!"

Mu Jing instructed.

"No, it won't!"

Zhou Cang's pupils changed slightly: "Cao Jun's response to the situation in the Central Plains is already so difficult, and he still dares to attack Nanyang!" ”

"Underestimate Cao Jun!"

Mu Jing sneered: "Don't underestimate Cao Mengde, Cao Mengde's fierce generals are like clouds, there are many strategists, and it is very dangerous, and it has Xuzhou to rely on, and now it is swallowing Yanzhou and Yuzhou, and the big war caused by Huangfu Song may benefit the most from him, if he unifies the two states of Henan and Yanzhou, the strength will not be what it used to be!" ”

"The Admiral understands!"

Zhou Cang nodded in agreement.

………………

At the beginning of April, there was constant news coming back from the battlefield, it was very chaotic, the Jiangdong Army fought and merged the state army, and the state army attacked the Cao army, the main force of the Xiliang army stormed the Tiger Pass, Jizhou has broken through the Chaoge, and the commander of the Youzhou army drove straight into the army and merged the state......

One news after another, Mu Jing was dazzled.

For so many years, this year has been the most chaotic year, and it has started to fight at the beginning of the year, and now it is just an appetizer, whether it is the Xiliang formation of the imperial court, or a group of princes, it is not yet the time to exert force.

Really attack with all your strength, that is, the blood is flowing like a river,

Mu Jing quietly left Wancheng, and the first battle was not to go west directly, but to go north first, and go north to West Hubei.

Xi'e County.

Pastoral origins.

Mujia Village is located in a bamboo forest in the northwest corner of the county seat, but the people who were burned alive by the officers and soldiers in the past did not survive much, and those who survived were displaced everywhere.

It was not until the rise of Mushan that Mujia Village began to be rebuilt.

But all those who have some achievements, they all like to glorify their ancestors, Mushan is no exception, when Mushan stayed in the imperial court, ranked in the current dynasty, and worshiped the prime minister, it is definitely a matter of glorifying the ancestors, so he sent someone to rebuild the ancestral shrine.

Later, when Mu Jing went south to Hanzhong, he ordered the Mu clan genealogy to be rebuilt.

The person in charge of the genealogy is the big housekeeper of Jingping Xiaoyuan, and at present, the oldest person in the Mu family, Mu Sibao.

And Mujing went north to Xi'e this time, not to inspect Xi'e, Xi'e is in the northwest of Wancheng, some distance from Wancheng, but the building near the water, the development is okay.

He mainly came back to worship his ancestors.

Since he came back to Nanyang, he couldn't pass through the door, and he didn't come back to the ancestral shrine once, so it can't be said, now he said so, he is also the head of the Mu family, the head of the Mu family, and now the Mu clan who has taken refuge in him, at least there are dozens of families, which is the beginning of a family revival.

Mu's origin, people who came to take refuge, naturally a lot, Mujia Village was slaughtered no problem, but there are still fish that slipped through the net, these years have passed, and the continuation of the heirs is also considered to be some of the population.

Every household who came to take refuge, Mu Sibao, who was at that time, would have been selected, even if there was moisture, it was not big, so for the Mu family, Mu Jing still had to be careful.

"This is Mujia Village?"

Mu Jing looked at a bamboo forest in front of him.

"Yes!"

The one sent by the herdsman to lead the way was a middle-aged man, Mu Shun.

Mu Shun is an era with Mushan, when he was a child, he still played together, when Mujia Village was slaughtered, he and Mushan were the same, lucky to escape, and then in Nanyang to ask for a living, and then heard that the Mu family made a career, so he traveled a long way to Hanzhong, and recognized his ancestors and returned to his ancestors.

"Head of the house!"

Mu Shun said in a low voice: "In the past, our Mujia Village lived a very good life, the land was still fertile, backed by the mountains, and we could hunt, even if we couldn't make a lot of money, we could still eat a full meal, but those officers and soldiers made evils, slaughtered the village and burned the land, so that those of us who escaped had nowhere to stay!" ”

"It's all gone!"

Mu Jing comforted him, and then asked, "How many people live in Mujia Village now?" ”

"About thirty households!" Mu Shun said: "The old family owner rebuilt Mujia Village back then, looking for those who left, so many years, he also found this person, Uncle Sibao is very strict with the household registration identity of the clansmen, not the clansmen of our Mujia Village, and they are never allowed to fill up the numbers." ”

"But most of the people are now settled in Hanzhong, Jiangzhou!"

"Including me!"

"After all, we Mu clansmen, in Hanzhong Jiangzhou, can live a better life!"

"In the village, there are some people of the older generation, basically all of whom were people who did not die in the catastrophe back then!"

Mu Shun said very carefully.

"Were there many people who didn't die back then?"

"The officers and soldiers are slaughtering the village, but we are not stupid, it is impossible to let them kill and exterminate, so many people hide in the mountains, which is regarded as the blood that has been preserved, but there is no household registration, so they can only hide in Tibet, and dare not go to the county to beg for a living, they can only be regarded as homeless people, and they live a very miserable life!"

"That is, the rise of the first owner, we have gradually begun to improve our lives, most of the buildings in the village were rebuilt by the first head of the family, and the life is better than the county seat!"

Mu Shun said very excitedly.

Mu Jing followed Mu Shun, walked through the bamboo forest, only to find a neat building in front of him, he has always heard the ancestors say, Mujia Village was burned, is a ruin, but the front of this piece of buildings, located in a way, are elegant courtyards, surrounded by bamboo forests, the northernmost is the mountains undulating, the west and the east, are rivers interlaced, this living environment, even if the county is not comparable, there is a little sign of ruins.

It seems that Mushan took a lot of effort to rebuild Mujia Village.
