"Guo is a businessman", Guo Huaili's eyes followed a flying fallen leaf, and said leisurely. Zhang Keji smiled silently, waiting for him to continue.

"The Guo family has been a businessman for generations, and my father was blackmailed by Xu officials, so he let Guo go to study and support the façade in the future." Guo Huaili laughed self-deprecatingly: "Guo is really not the material for reading, he picked up the book and fell asleep, but fortunately, he knew Anyi, and he barely passed the monthly class and quarterly exam." ”

When the floating leaves landed, Guo Huaili's gaze retracted, looked at Zhang Keji and said: "Don't hide it, Mr. Guo Mouchu and An Yi intersected, half of them were fate and half speculation. Later, I came to the Jiang family to play, and met the godmother, An Yong, and Yan'er, although the Jiang family was poor, but the family was harmonious, in order to let An Yi study, the godmother worked day and night, An Yong was a domestic helper at a young age, and Yan'er, who was sensible and heart-wrenching. Guo was deeply touched and respected the Jiang family, so he brought some gifts when he went to the Jiang family to play. ”

"Wenping Mansion tried Guo to get a poem cheekily, and with this poem, he won the show, and finally fulfilled his father's expectations, and Guo was very grateful to An Yi. After returning to Xinqi County, An Yi partnered with the Yu family and the Guo family to do business with folding fans and bamboo utensils, and Guo felt that An Yi was not a thing in the pool. ”

"An Yi's official is getting bigger and bigger, I am worried that he will look down on the Guo family, but An Yi thinks of the old feelings, not only does he not look down on the Guo family, but also the wine and perfume industries are operated with the Guo family, and it is really a blessing for Guo to have a friend like An Yi."

Guo Huaili's voice gradually became high, "An Yi went to Huazhou to assassinate the history, Guo decided to take a gamble and take his family to evolve the state with An Yi, and now it seems that Guo Mou made the right move." ”

Zhang Keji laughed, poured tea for Guo Huaili, and said: "Boss Guo's vision of doing business and seeing people is stronger than Zhang's. I first met the lord in the Western Regions, and I was saved by him to survive, but Zhang had a rough life and lost trust in people, so he didn't have much gratitude to the lord. With him returning from the Western Regions, Zhang is really a lost dog, nowhere to go, the lord does not think Zhang is contemptuous, entrusts the family property to me, Zhang wants to do something to repay his life-saving grace. ”

The breeze shook the leaves, making a "rustling" sound, Zhang Keji smiled and waited for the wind to stop before continuing: "Zhang spent money in the Jiang family, built a cottage in the back mountain, opened up the mountain, and purchased Mingwa from the Western Regions, and the Mingwa ceiling of the perfume shop cost 100,000 taels of silver. ”

Guo Huaili pouted and said: "That is, Anyi, if Guo had been replaced, I would have asked Mr. to ask you to be smart." ”

"The lord regards me as his heart, how can Zhang not repay his sincerity", Zhang Keji said: "The lord acts for the public regardless of gains and losses, it is inevitable to offend the villain, and he has been impeached many times, and the prison disaster in Dali Temple at the beginning of the year is even more dangerous. As a strategist, Zhang can't help but think of a perfect plan for the lord, Boss Guo and the lord have a good relationship, and Zhang has something to borrow. ”

Guo Huaili said with a smile: "Mr. has something to say, I share the blessings and misfortunes with An Yi, if An Yi can be prosperous and rich, it is naturally indispensable to the benefits of Guo, although Guo has little reading, this vision is still there, I don't know what Mr. wants me to do?" ”

Zhang Keji said: "The lord and the public are the marquis, and it seems to be infinitely beautiful, but in fact, it is full of dangers. ”

Guo Huaili lowered his head and drank tea, smiling secretly in his heart, Mr. Zhang is the same as other literati

Sick, so alarmist, Anyi through the state, in power, and just made great contributions to the country, the court rewarded him in the edict called him "the good general of the country", where is the danger lurking. Just now, Mr. Zhang said that he wanted to borrow himself, but he wanted to make himself pay for it, and the reader felt embarrassed when he talked about money, so he found an excuse to cover it up.

Zhang Keji said solemnly: "Huaili, Zhang is not a bully, I originally thought that it would take at least two or three years for the lord to drive away the Western Regions coalition army, which is enough for me to calmly arrange." I didn't expect the improved thunderbolt to succeed in the first battle, and the lord made meritorious service at the age of thirty-three. ”

Guo Huaili was stunned for a moment and said: "An Yi can go to the court to worship the prime minister in the future, and he is a very popular minister." ”

"Hahaha", Zhang Keji laughed and said: "Go to the court to worship the prime minister, do you think the prince will use the lord as the prime minister in the future?" "The prince's temperament Guo Huaili has heard that with Jiang Anyi's personality, even if he is appointed as the prime minister, he can't do it for half a year, and the most likely thing is to let Anyi collect money for him to squander.

"Even if you can't be the prime minister, Anyi can sit in Jingzhou and defend against foreign enemies." Guo Huaili said unconvinced.

"Yes, Huazhou is a place of a hundred battles, and with Anyi in the court, there is no need to worry about the west, maybe in the future, Anyi will go to pacify the Northern Desert." Zhang Keji said lightly: "But the greater Anyi's merits, the more difficult it will be to end in the future, there are four words called merit is not rewarded, Anyi is already a marquis, and then there is a duke and a prince, Da Zheng has been a king with a different surname for more than 100 years?" In addition to making great contributions, those who have made great contributions are all from powerful families, and the future of the lord will be exhausted. Moreover, the prince likes to be extravagant, even if there is no money in the future, the money accumulated by the Jiang family, the Yu family, and the Guo family may become the root of trouble. ”

Guo Huaili felt a chill in his heart, the windfall profits of perfume made countless people red, An Yi offered thirty percent of the dry shares to Queen Wang to stop the coveting of people's hearts, An Yi was imprisoned, Queen Wang opened her mouth to go to fifty percent of the dividend, today to fifty percent, tomorrow will be seventy percent, and finally simply swallowed it. Money is a trivial matter, but I am afraid that someone will deliberately frame him in order to embezzle property, and the prince will push the boat down the river to reap the benefits, and his family will suffer because of this.

"Sir, do you have a good plan?" Guo Huaili asked.

Zhang Keji's eyes flashed with a cold light, and he said: "I have advised the lord that the only way to protect himself is to be self-reliant, so that the Son of Heaven and the court will not dare to act rashly." It's a pity that the lord is loyal and refuses to act according to what I say, and Zhang can only plan for him. ”

Guo Huaili sighed: "Anyi is loyal to his ministers, filial piety, friendship and sincerity, and kindness, if it is harmful to the court, he will not do it, and my life is tied to him, so I can't say that I have to plan for secretly, take precautions, and prevent Anyi from having another disaster." ”

Zhang Keji stroked his palms and smiled: "Good, Huaili is willing to help me, and the lord will definitely be rewarded in the future." I guess the court will not let the lord stay in Huazhou for a long time, Tian Shoulou's letter mentioned that someone in the court has proposed to summon the lord back to Beijing, and the top priority is to buy the courtiers to prevent the lord from returning to Beijing. ”

Guo Huaili said: "An Yi was born in Zechang Academy, and the Ze Party is quite powerful in the court, so let Mr. Tian spend more silver taels and let the Ze Party speak for An Yi." ”

"One of them is that the Son of Heaven in Beijing is seriously ill, and the crown prince and the king of Chu'an are fighting, so people want to spread rumors to focus everyone's attention on the crown prince's contention, so that the courtiers have no time to take care of it

Huazhou. ”

Zhang Keji continued: "Huaili, there are three things for you to do at the moment, one is to build a workshop in secret, and slowly move the workshop in Pingshan Town's hometown to Huazhou; First, I heard that the prince of Tianwei is vying for the crown prince, and the fourth prince Gu Taige is Huaili's old knowledge, so you might as well help him, if Gu Taige can succeed to the throne, it will be useful in the future; Third. The trade route has been opened, and Boss Guo ordered his caravans to make friends with the princes and ministers of the Western Regions, in case of emergency. ”

Guo Huaili nodded, thinking in his heart that Zhang Keji seemed to be cultivating self-respect, seeing that his actions were intended for the long term, and he didn't know whether it was a blessing or a curse. The story of strange goods flashed in his mind, the predecessor surnamed Lu was able to achieve a great career as a businessman, why didn't I Guo Huaili dare, not to mention that An Yi was his friend, and he should help him both in public and private. If you gamble, you will naturally have your own benefits if you win, and if you lose and flee to the Western Regions, you have business in all the countries of the Western Regions, where can you not settle down, if you can really fund Gu Taige as the king, Tian Weiguo will definitely welcome you to go.

After a few words of gossip, Guo Huaili got up happily and said: "There are a lot of visitors to Xiangxueju today, and Guo has to go around for a while, so I won't disturb Mr. to recuperate." The three things that Mr. said, Guo will do it with his heart, and if there is anything else, Mr. will let people know. ”

Sending Guo Huaili away, Zhang Keji poured out the cold tea in the cup, poured a new cup, raised his glass to drink, and saw a spider web beside him, a spider was spinning silk and weaving webs. Zhang Keji smiled, he was like this spider, weaving a web for the lord, but it was the countries of the Western Regions who wanted the web.

Drinking the tea, Zhang Keji lowered his head and thought, if you want to improve yourself, the only way to be self-reliant is to hold the soldiers, although the lord is a strategic envoy, but he can't command the soldiers and horses of the Anxi Protectorate, if you want to resist the court, I am afraid that even the Tun army will not obey the order. To let the soldiers and horses of the court obey the orders, only to know that the lord Enwei does not know the Son of Heaven, and it is necessary to start slowly from several aspects.

The lord drove away the Western Regions Coalition Army, and his prestige in the army far surpassed that of Guan Pingzhong, which was the foundation, but it was not enough to command the three armies. When the court rewarded the lord, it had already issued an order to take back the military power, and the Anxi Protectorate was back in charge of Guan Pingzhong, and the lord could only mobilize the army through Guan Pingzhong. If you want to be in charge of the army justifiably, you must fight with the Western Regions.

At present, the vitality of the countries in the Western Regions is greatly damaged, and it is impossible to invade the east again in the short term. How to find an opportunity to use troops in the Western Regions, expand the territory, and let the soldiers have the opportunity to make meritorious contributions, with the courage of the lord, the three armies will soon be subdued. Zhang Keji turned the teacup in his hand, An Yong and Shi were exterminating horse thieves in the Gobi during this time, and they should be called back to discuss and discuss.

There is also money and food, half of the military salary of the Anxi Protectorate is supplied by the court and half is supplied by Huazhou, and now the treasury is empty, and the military salary is afraid that it will all fall on Huazhou. The Anxi battalion is recruiting troops on a large scale, and this is another good opportunity, many of these recruits are desperate people, if they can take charge of their rewards and punishments, these people will obey the orders of the lord in the future.

Zhang Keji stood up, brushed off the fallen leaves on his body, and said softly: "The spring breeze moistens things, the drizzle is silent, give Zhang two years, and set the Lord to collect the hearts of the army and the people." ”
