Chapter 800: A Thousand Schemes Are Hard to Succeed
The profit of just one glass is already worth half of Wei Shuang's business empire over the years.
It's no wonder that Wei Shuang is excited.
He set off for Taihang Mountain on the same day.
Since the occupation of Jizhou, the money in Zhao Hui's hands has been spent like flowing water.
Whether it is opening a college or relocating displaced people, it takes a lot of money.
Even during this time, Zhao Hui did not start a war.
If he could, Zhao Hui naturally hoped to be able to go south and kill Cao Cao and Liu Bei directly.
With the combat power of the soldiers and horses in Zhao Hui's hands, whether it is Cao Cao Liu Bei or Sun Ce Liu Biao, it is impossible to stop Zhao Hui's army.
But Zhao Hui's logistics can't keep up, and if he wants to maintain such a big war all the time, Zhao Hui must squeeze the people below.
If there was no glass, Zhao Hui would need to delay for two or three years if he wanted to attack Cao Cao in the south.
But now with this money, Zhao Hui can start a big war again next year.
The money earned by glass is all from those rich gentry and wealthy families.
These people are not only Jizhou, Youzhou, but also Yanzhou, Xuzhou, Yangzhou, and Jingzhou.
All their money was earned by Zhao Hui, which not only enhanced Zhao Hui's strength, but also weakened the financial resources of the gentry, which was equivalent to weakening the strength of those princes.
The money earned from glass is exchanged for grain, grass, iron ore and copper ore.
Zhao Hui will only get stronger and stronger.
Even if Cao Cao and Liu Bei really stopped some princes, it would be useless.
Those gentry will never give up on the purchase of glass.
They don't care who earns their money, they have a lot of wealth, and they want to make their lives better.
There are artifacts like glass, why can't they use them?
Cao Cao and Liu Bei stopped it, and it would let the gentry buy it secretly, which would only make the price of glass more and more expensive.
Those gentry could originally buy a piece of glass for only 10,000 yuan, but after it was banned, it became difficult for them to buy it, and a piece of glass could cost 20,000 yuan.
After all, if you want to sell it in secret, Wei Shuang's side also needs to win over a lot of local puffians and other small people.
"Lord, there is another person from Xu Du."
"Where?"
Xu Shu said embarrassedly: "The people who came this time didn't want to see the lord, they went to the Zhen family." ”
Liu Xie did not send Yu Cong to come, but someone in Liu Bei's hands.
In order to trap Cao Cao and let Zhao Hui and Cao Cao stimulate conflicts, neither of them exposed the news in advance.
Xu Shu had a good relationship with the Zhen family, and Zhen Tu did not hide it after meeting Yu Cong.
"To see the Zhen family?" Zhao Hui asked, "Who sent it?" ”
"He said it was the Son of Heaven." Xu Shu said: "With the edict, give Xiao Mi a marriage and ask her to marry Cao Pi." ”
Zhao Hui wondered if Xu Shu deliberately made it up and wanted to force himself to marry Zhen Mi.
"How could Liu Xie give a marriage edict. If he knew Zhen Mi, he would definitely want the Zhen family to send Zhen Mi into the palace, how could he let Xiao Mi marry Cao Pi? Is he going to make Cao Pi emperor? Zhao Hui said.
Although Liu Bei informed Liu Xie, Liu Bei concealed the order of Zhen Mi, the emperor and queen.
If Liu Xie knew that with Liu Xie's importance to the Han Dynasty, even if this was a very favorable plan, Liu Xie would not agree.
Xu Shu said: "The edict was issued by Liu Xie, but it was Cao Cao who was in charge behind it. ”
"Hmm." Zhao Hui nodded, it was Cao Cao's words, it could be understood.
Zhen Mi's previous name was only circulated in Jizhou, and no one knew Zhen Mi's name in Jizhou.
At most, in those families, there are still some people who know.
But the last time Zhen Mi's name appeared in the newspaper, and it appeared as a dictionary author.
Zhen Mi has already resounded all over the country.
It's normal to be known by Cao Cao.
And it is normal for Cao Cao to want Cao Pi to marry Zhen Mi.
Cao Cao's eldest son, Cao Ang, was already married and already had a wife.
"What did Zhen Tu say?" Zhao Hui asked.
Xu Shu said: "That person was beaten out." Zhen Tu said that Xiao Mi only marries the lord. ”
Zhao Hui frowned.
He didn't expect that Zhen Tu would directly beat someone out, that person with Liu Xie's edict, even if he came secretly, it was an angel.
Zhen Tu's courage is also big enough.
The others met, which was not respectful.
Although Liu Xie doesn't have any real power now, his identity is there, which is enough to make many families frightened.
After all, imperial power has been deeply imprinted in their bones.
"Since it's out, forget it."
"Lord, Xiao Mi's marriage ......"
Xu Shu did not continue, Zhen Tu had already expressed his attitude to Zhao Hui by beating the angel out, and the Zhen family identified Zhao Hui.
Even if it was the Son of Heaven to marry, the Zhen family dared to refuse.
Zhen Mi must marry Zhao Hui, if Zhao Hui does not marry, Zhen Mi will not marry.
"She's still too young." Zhao Hui still used Zhen Mi's age as an excuse.
Although the people of the Zhen family identify Zhao Hui as a son-in-law, what does Zhen Mi himself think?
Zhao Hui didn't know, so he wouldn't marry Zhen Mi.
Xu Shu sighed, he had followed Zhao Hui for many years, and many places were influenced by Zhao Hui.
Now the relationship between the husband and wife is very good, even his old mother hopes that Xu Shu can marry a few more rooms, but Xu Shu has never agreed.
A group of wives and concubines does not mean that the status is noble.
Although it is good to have a full house of children and grandchildren, it is enough for him to have both children under his knees.
A person's time is limited, and the love in his heart is also limited.
Whether there are more wives and concubines, or more children, the feelings will fade.
As soon as Xu Shu comes home now, he holds his daughter, and his life is very happy.
If there are too many children, Xu Shu will definitely not be like this, and he will only feel bored.
Xu Shu returned home, Zhen Tu and Zhen Rong were waiting.
"Husband, what does the lord say?"
Zhen Rong took off his robe for Xu Shu and asked.
Zhen Tu also put down the teacup and stood up, looking at Xu Shu with hope in his eyes.
Xu Shu shook his head: "The lord said that Xiao Mi's age is too young. ”
"Age, age, it's seventeen years old, how old is not too young? Other people's daughters and children have been born, why are they still young. ”
Zhen Tu's voice was loud, but after saying that, he was deflated.
"Yuan Zhi, you are smart, is there any way."
Zhen Tu still had to ask Xu Shu for help and asked Xu Shu to help him think of a way.
"Zhao Hui can't do it there, at least in the next two years." Xu Shu said.
"What does Xiao Mi think herself?" Xu Shu asked.
"What can she think?"
Zhen Tu shook his head, he had never asked Zhen Mi what he thought.
"Second uncle, let's go and ask, forget it, let Rong'er ask." Xu Shu said.
Zhen Tu said: "What does it matter? ”
Zhen Tu's inherent concept is also deep-rooted, and the words of the matchmaker of his parents, Zhen Mi's family affairs can never be Zhen Mi's own decision.
So he never asked, even in Zhen Tu's heart, he loved Zhen Mi very much.
But he is still in charge of this family matter.
As for what Zhen Mi can say?
She didn't know the men outside.
Xu Shu has followed Zhao Hui for many years, and now he also knows the word love.
"If Xiao Mi doesn't want to marry the lord, even if you and I have a thousand plans, it is impossible to succeed." Xu Shu said.
He knew that if Zhen Mi had no affection for Zhao Hui, Zhao Hui would never marry Zhen Mi.
