Chapter 434: The Invisible Black Hand (Part II)

"You're not crazy, are you?"

Liu Yu's eyes widened.

"How did Qiang Qu die, how did Ding Yuan die, do you want this official to follow in their footsteps?"

He was a little suspicious of this man's purpose.

Captain!

The man was still unhurried.

"The reason why the Yunzhou army is strong is because of the border trade, and the profits of the border trade are enough to make them more able to afford to raise so many troops and use such good equipment. Although business comes quickly, it has great drawbacks, and there is no stability in farming. Their food supplies are transported from other places. Once their food transportation is cut off, a food crisis will inevitably erupt. It's like building a tall building in the sand, and the foundation is unstable. Once something goes wrong, everything in Yunzhou will be over. ”

Reasonable!

Liu Yu was a little surprised.

Merchants don't really create value, they just change things from one place to another. It's essentially the same thing, but in the process of moving it increases costs, and these increased costs fall on the merchants.

If there were no merchants, there would not be such a big cost.

Successive dynasties encouraged agriculture and suppressed merchants, in order to prevent commercial prosperity and abandon agriculture.

After all, the people live on food.

Therefore, the first priority of the local officials is to grasp farming.

Guo Jia is an alternative, and only this guy dares to risk the world to support business.

Although it succeeded, it also buried a hidden danger, that is, the instability of farming. If farming is unstable, there will not be enough food.

This is also the disadvantage of emphasizing business and suppressing agriculture.

But......

Liu Yu was a little puzzled, Yunzhou commerce and trade extend in all directions, and there will be a steady stream of food and other commodities added in every year, and it is really impossible to cut off the food supply of others.

Besides, with Youzhou's troops, you can't beat it if you want to.

"Lord Taiwei doesn't have to worry, just like this!"

The man suddenly whispered a few words.

Liu Yu was stunned for a moment, and then laughed.

……

Yunzhou Lunu City!

Mi Zhen's maidservant girl walked out of the shepherd's mansion as usual.

The Mi family has a big business, is a famous rich man in the world, Mi Zhen married into the Guo family, and the dowry sent by the Mi family is also very amazing, and there are dozens of maidservants alone.

They are all Jiangnan girls.

Considering the space in the backyard and the feelings of the other sisters, Mi Zhen finally took the initiative to cut it down to two.

The Mi family opened a branch in Zhongshan, and often sent something to the young lady, of course, Mi Zhen would not leave the house easily, and this kind of errand was naturally handed over to the two girls.

When Mi Zhen's girl went out, several figures immediately followed her.

These people are all members of the intelligence network, and when they first discovered the clues of the Mi family, Guo Jia ordered them to monitor them closely, but not to act rashly.

Mi Zhen's girl walked around a few times outside, and instead of going to Mi Jia's store, she came straight to a room and knocked on the door.

After a while, the door opened, revealing a rather delicate face, which was none other than Xiangshi Xiangkai of the Plains.

The intelligence officer in charge of surveillance waited patiently outside.

After a cup of tea, Mizhen's girl came out of it.

The intelligence family immediately made a note of it.

On a certain day, a certain month, and a certain day, how long did Mi Zhen's maid meet with someone in a certain place and when......

This kind of similar intelligence, they have counted dozens of times.

After the count, they left, and the lord did not give an order, and they did not dare to startle the snake for a while.

……

After sending away Mi Zhen's maidservant, Xiangkai was about to close the door, and Leng Hao stretched out one arm to come in.

"Master, it's closed so early?"

The man came with a broken hat and a white cloth wrapped around his face, revealing only half of his face.

You are......

Xiang Kai was stunned for a moment, only to feel that the voice was a little familiar, but he couldn't remember this face clearly.

Hehe!

The man smiled, like a supper.

"A few years ago, a poor boy got the guidance of a master, mixed into a place, started as a small official step by step, and finally succeeded. Seeing that he was about to ascend to the high position, disaster struck. This man was defeated, and finally died tragically in the chaos. In the end, I realized that I had fallen for someone. He is nothing more than a pawn, a pawn that can be discarded at any time. ”

You......

Xiang Kai's face changed drastically, and he seemed to be unable to believe his eyes.

He was the one who pointed out the poor boy at the beginning, and he just wanted to use the poor boy, so under his guidance, the poor boy climbed to a high position step by step.

Seeing that he was about to succeed, it was a pity that in the end, the success fell short, and the person also died.

If you die, you will die, and Xiangkai doesn't take it to heart.

That's what they do.

Naturally, the chess pieces do not need sympathy.

The man smiled slightly, took off his hat, and untied the white cloth on his face.

"It's you, you're not dead?"

Xiangkai was shocked.

He never imagined that the chess piece that he used at the beginning was still alive.

Hehe!

The man touched his face.

"I didn't expect it, I didn't expect it myself, but I actually saved my life in that situation. Oh, it's all thanks to you! ”

He took a few eerie steps forward.

Yes!

Xiangkai was shocked.

"You...... Is it a human or a ghost? ”

He had long since received definite news that the man was dead.

But the person in front of him was standing in front of him alive, although his face was mutilated, but he was still vaguely the same person.

I......

The man laughed again.

His voice was hoarse, like a ghost crying.

"Sometimes, I don't know if I'm a human or a ghost. In order to survive, I had to hide in the pile of dead people. Daily companionship with snakes, rats, maggots. No water, no food. Can you think of what kind of life I lived? ”

He suddenly grabbed Xiangkai's neck, and with a slight force in his right hand, he picked him up.

Ahh

Xiangkai is like a duck pinched by the neck, unable to say anything he wants to, and his throat is rattling.

"You know what?"

The man said word by word, "It is thanks to you that I have been lying in the pile of the dead for seven days, and at last I have survived." Since then, I have decided not to eat meat anymore, and guess why? ”

Uh-uh!

Xiangkai was shocked, and only felt a burst of nausea.

This man could survive the pile of the dead, and he couldn't think of any way other than to eat human flesh.

He subconsciously grabbed the man's wrist with both hands.

But the man's wrist was very strong, and soon, Xiang Kai stopped struggling.

The man's right hand suddenly loosened, and Xiang Kai immediately collapsed to the ground, without breath.

Killing Xiangkai, that person seemed to have a bad breath.

Originally, he also had a decent future, but he was destroyed by two people, one of whom was naturally Xiangkai.

As for the other person......

The man suddenly took a deep breath and looked outside.

"Zhongshan, I'm back again!"
