At the door of Cao Dan's mansion in Leshou, Shandong, a group of guard-like people were carefully inspecting the eighteen carriages decorated with red silk parked at the door, each of which contained several large boxes of exquisite workmanship, and after each large box was opened, you could see that there were dazzling gold bricks and gorgeous jewelry and jade inside, and they were all high-quality goods. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info Cao Dan's porter was also interrogating the leader who led the carriage:

"What do you people do? Who are you? What's the matter with asking to see us?! ”

"Oh! In the lower left of the immortals, admire the demeanor of Lord Cao Dan, so I came to visit today, please make it convenient for the manager! Listening to the four words of the chief manager, Cao Dan's porter didn't know how happy he was, although as the saying goes, the prime minister was a seven-grade official in front of the door, but when the officials and gentlemen of Leshou came to see Cao Dan, they always called him the chief steward, and his tone was very respectful, but he might not be able to look down on him in his heart. The word "adult" doesn't even come out of his mouth, he just treats him as a watchdog, but the porter doesn't really regard others as confidants because of a few flattering words. The porter stared at these men vigilantly, and from time to time he secretly looked at the gold, silver and jewels in the boxes on the carriage.

"Our Lord Cao is busy with official business, and there are a lot of people who send worship posts to see every day, but not everyone can see them." As he spoke, the porter's hand secretly shook at Zuo Youxian. Zuo Youxian carefully observed the eyes and movements of the porter:

"Ahh Understood! The little one understands! "As he spoke, he quickly signaled to his subordinates, and his subordinates handed a cloth package to the porter, and the porter quickly took it, who knew that this package was so heavy that it almost made the porter fall to the ground, and the porter secretly put his hand into the package and probed, and a trace of cool air reminded him that it contained gold and round jewelry. Yes! That's a great gift! It seems to be a long-eyed one. The porter tried desperately to suppress the joy in his heart:

"Oops! How embarrassing is that! The porter pretended to shirk, and Zuo Youxian hurriedly stuffed the package into the arms of the doorman with both hands:

"The manager is polite, this is just a little local product brought from my hometown, please don't dislike the courtesy below. Please accept it with a face. "'This is a light courtesy, and with this weight, I will not be able to earn it back as a porter for ten lifetimes.'" The porter thought to himself, the smile on his face was even brighter, and his words were more flattering.

"Sir, please wait a moment! I'll go in right and report to our family! "As he spoke, the porter hunched his waist as if he was working hard, and the guards around him looked at the porter's hard work to enter the door, and all of them had a flame of jealousy in their eyes. He is good, this dog is happy to harvest, and the labor and management have worked hard here for a day, and I don't see this rich man scattering some points for the labor and capital. 'The psychology of the guards can't hide from Zuo Youxian, Zuo Youxian has been in the rivers and lakes for a long time, and naturally knows that it must be wet with rain and dew, otherwise some little people will have unexpected results. Zuo Youxian was unhurriedly taking out dozens of silver ingots, each of which was about the size of twenty or thirty taels:

"Come, come, come! All the brethren have worked hard, ah! This little meaning is not a tribute, please accept it with your face. As soon as the gatekeepers and guards at the door saw the dazzling silver ingots, they smiled and thanked Zuo Youxian one by one:

"Oops! Thank you for the treasurer's reward! Cao Dan listened to the words of the porter in the house:

"You said his name is Zuo Youxian, and he came to give gifts to Lord Ben."

"Yes, my lord, he brought eighteen carriages, and according to the inspection of the brethren, they were filled with fine jewels and fine orange gold! My lord, do you want to see it? Cao Dan was a little impatient when he heard this:

"What's there to see! It's just an ordinary businessman.,The gift is pulled directly into the warehouse.,In addition, you go and ask him if there is anything to ask Lord Ben for help.,When the time comes, you're taking Lord Ben's post to the division to take care of it.,By the way, help him do it! ”

"Yes! My lord! The porter stood where he was, with no intention of leaving. Cao Dan looked at the porter.

"Hmmm! Why don't you leave! Did you accept a gift from someone else, hey! If you accept it, you will accept it, what's the big deal, my Cao Dan's house slave, what are you afraid of when you receive some gifts, but you don't do things for others, what's the big deal, King Dou has been impeaching me a lot, don't worry, no one dares to trouble you. The porter still stood where he was. Cao Dan felt strange:

"Master, I don't know if I should say something about it?"

"Say it!"

"Judging from the small, there is a vague official spirit on that person, and he looks stable when he walks up, it seems that this person named Zuo Youxian is not an ordinary person. So sir, you'd better see you! "It is natural to have some ability to make Cao Dan appreciate, and Cao Dan knows that he, the concierge housekeeper, also has some eyesight. You can't be mistaken.

"Alright! Since you say so, I'll see you, sir! Go to the door and bring him in. ”

"Yes!" After Zuo Youxian was brought to Cao Dan, Cao Dan felt that what his porter said was right, this person had an official spirit.

"Dare to ask Mr. Zuo Youxian!"

"Under the new governor of Jianghuai and the throne of Wu, Zuo Youxian has seen Lord Cao! On the order of my lord, I came to meet King Dou! And he wanted to propose to King Dou to be a minister and pay tribute, hoping to deal with Li Yuan together with the Gui Dynasty. It's just that when I first arrived in your place, I didn't know the way, so I wanted to ask Lord Cao to come forward to introduce me. Cao Dan listened.

"Then the country of Wu has no contact with my dynasty, you came to give me so many gifts, I'm afraid it's not as simple as making friends!" Zuo Youxian smiled slightly:

"Lord Cao said well, I am here to send a rich and noble game with my lord."

"Hahaha! Lord Zuo laughed, you see that the incense carts and horses in my Cao Dan's mansion are good, gold and silver are like mountains, and there are countless people who give you gifts like this every day. What more do I have to ask for riches? Zuo Youxian's face immediately changed to a contemptuous expression, and he stared at Cao Dan for a long time with this expression, Cao Dan was a little weak by Zuo Youxian, and pretended to be annoyed:

"Lord Zuo, I respect you as a messenger of the princes, but don't forget, this is my mansion, and you shouldn't be too presumptuous." Zuo Youxian said coldly:

"Yes! Lord Cao's wealth and glory is indeed the best in the world, now King Dou has no children, once King Dou dies, the world of Daxia is Lord Cao, but have you ever thought about it, although you are Mrs. Cao's younger brother, it seems that it is legal to inherit the throne of King Dou when the time comes, but the able ministers around King Dou are not dead, as far as I know, King Dou's general Wang Fubao has always been dissatisfied with you, and Liu Heimin, he is also a general who has followed King Dou for many years, and Ling Jing, his friendship with Wang Fubao is deep! Liu Heimin also has a good impression of Ling Jingke, and has been wooing! Do you think, once King Dou dies, will you control these people? "Cao Dan asked for bribes everywhere in Leshou and bent the law, all because Dou Jiande and Mrs. Cao had been married for many years and had no heirs, and Mrs. Cao hinted to Cao Dan that Mrs. Cao had asked King Dou to wait for Dou Jiande to inherit the Great Xia after a hundred years, Cao Dan was naturally carried away, but Cao Dan's proud behavior was also boycotted by Liu Heimin and Ling Jing, Wang Fubao and others, but every time he made trouble with Dou Jiande, Dou Jiande pretended to be deaf and dumb, Mrs. Cao pretended to scold Cao Dan next to her again, and then it was over.

"Humph! They dare! ”

"Yes! They didn't dare when King Dou was alive! But what happened after King Dou drove the crane immortal? When the time comes, it will be you Lord Cao who took out the posthumous photo of King Dou, as the saying goes, people die like lights go out, and people go to tea when they are cold, not to mention that everyone wants to sit in a good position, do you think that the three of them will follow the will left by Lord Dou in a proper manner, and respectfully serve you as the master? Listening to Zuo Youxian's words, Cao Dan broke out in a cold sweat, but Cao Dan still deliberately pretended to be calm.

"So what! It's not like there's no support behind Lord Ben. The smile on Zuo Youxian's face was even brighter.

"Hahaha! I believe that someone must help the adult if Lord Cao can put such a big family business in the future, but my lord, there is a sentence I don't know if to say? ”

"Mr. Zuo, please speak!" After Cao Dan changed his name to Mr. Zuo, Zuo Youxian heard Cao Dan's change in his attitude.

"Your Excellency has today's status, and you must have attracted a lot of fox and dog parties, but don't forget, they and Lord Cao are just a temporary alliance of interests, once Lord Cao's status is weakened, and even some small cracks and holes will become the reason for them to betray you." Cao Dan knew in his heart what kind of goods his fox friends and dog friends were, and some things would really come out when the time came.

"Someone! Prepare a table of first-class wine for Lord Ben, Lord Zuo, there is a fine wine in my house, and we will talk while drinking. At the banquet, Cao Dan raised his glass and saluted Zuo Youxian:

"Lord Zuo, you know what you said in your heart, but Lord Zuo should know about private business! I just don't know what other benefits can make this adult tempted, let's talk about it? Zuo Youxian continued:

"Since you drink the good wine of adults, it is equivalent to receiving the benefits of adults! There is a strategy in the next one, I believe that after the adults use it, not only will the status be as stable as Mount Tai, but also the wealth will be rolling! As soon as he heard the words "Rolling Wealth", Cao Dan's eyes immediately widened.

"Mr. Zuo, please speak!" Zuo Youxian motioned for Cao Dan to come over with his ear.

The next day, Cao Dan came to Dou Jiande:

"See the Great King and Queen!"

"Cao Dan, King Gu heard that you thought about it day and night and came up with a clever plan to deal with Li Tang, so today I specially invited Ling Jing, Wang Fubao, Liu Heimin and other three adults to let them listen to it too! Now that people are so difficult, can you talk about it? ”

"Yes! Wechen obeyed. Cao Dan talked eloquently:

"Excuse me, the King!? The seven most circulating divine objects in the world, does the king know what they are? Dou Jiande said impatiently:

"Cao Dan! You're hanging up your bookbag now. Say whatever you want! ”

"Yes! King, the seven most circulating sacred objects in the world are these seven - firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea, and the most important of these seven sacred objects is salt. If people don't eat salt, the time is constant, the whole body will be weak, the shoulders are thick, and for example, there are only two sources of salt today, one is the land of Qilu where our dynasty is based, and the other is the hometown of Wuzhong in the south of the Yangtze River. Therefore, if I tighten the salt bag so that not a single grain of salt flows out of my court, I would like to ask the king! Do you think the world will be chaotic? As soon as they heard this, everyone present felt that this ploy was too vicious.

"Lord Cao, you said to control the outflow of salt, but don't forget, if the land of salt is produced today, in addition to my Qilu land, there is also the hometown of Wuzhong in the south of the Yangtze River, can you guarantee that Fugongtuo will not sell salt to Li Tang in Guanzhong?" Ling Jing came out first and asked:

"Good question, Lord Ling! That's exactly what I'm going to talk about. After the death of the former Wu king Du Fuwei in Chang'an, the hearts of the entire Jiangnan people were shaken. Together with the same hatred of the enemy, now the people are outside the palace, please summon the king! ”

"Oh! Please! The guards outside the hall heard Dou Jiande's shout and immediately responded:

"Please invite the envoy of Jiangnan Wu to meet you!"

"Please invite the envoy of Jiangnan Wu to meet you!"

"Please invite the envoy of Jiangnan Wu to meet you!" After three summonses like this, Zuo Youxian walked in with a slow and orderly official step:

"Minister! Jianghuai Metropolitan Governor - Wu Wang Fugong Tuo Prime Minister Zuo Youxian see King Dou, see Mrs. Cao! Dou Jiande sat on the throne and saluted back:

"Excuse me, sit down!"

"King Xie Dou!" Zuo Youxian sat generously on the chair brought by the guard.

"Is there something wrong with the envoy coming to our court?"

"The minister, Wu Wang Fugong Tuo has heard the prestige of the king for a long time, so he specially sent a thousand high-grade Jiangnan silk, a hundred South China Sea pearls, a pair of night pearls, and dozens of high-grade colored crystals, and also asked the ministers to bring the national letter, willing to belong to King Dou's subordinates, and become King Dou's courtiers. Please Dou Wang complete! The guards stepped forward to present the letter of state to Dou Jiande. Dou Jiande didn't look at it:

"Aren't you Wu already attached to Li Tang? This king heard that Du Fuwei was given the surname Li by Li Yuan, and the name of the clan was listed, how did he think that he suddenly changed to another king of Wu and asked this king for his covenant! Hahaha! Zuo Youxian heard the teasing in Dou Jiande's tone - (but it is said that they Jiangnan people are just looking at Qin and Dusk, and they recognize their masters everywhere.) Zuo Youxian explained to Dou Jiande unhurriedly:

"King Qi Dou! It's not that I'm treacherous, it's really that Li Yuan deceives people too much, I think back then, that Li Yuan had just pacified Jingchu Lingnan, my ancestor Wu King Du Fuwei admired the Tang Dynasty, and went to Chang'an to worship alone, but I didn't expect that Li Yuan was a despicable and shameless villain, Li Yuan poisoned my ancestor Wu King Du Fuwei, so that my Wu King went crazy and died, this revenge is not avenged, how can I Jiangnan people be people, but my Jiangnan people are weak and weak, so I want to use the prestige of the king to avenge my Jiangnan people. The lord of the minister has issued an order to the micro minister, saying that he is willing to pay tribute to the prince of Dou every year in the future, and come to the court every year, everything is only the head of the prince Dou. As he spoke, he knelt down to Dou Jiande. Dou Jiande asked Zuo Youxian to get up first.

"Lord Zuo, you get up first, go back to the post house to rest for a while, this king will discuss with everyone, and then come back to you." Zuo Youxian bowed to Dou Jiande and turned to leave.

"Guys, what do you think?"

"King Qiyu, the minister thinks that this plan is too vicious, and if this plan is implemented, it is difficult to determine whether our dynasty can profit from it, I am afraid that after the implementation of this plan, we will not be able to obtain an inch of land from Li Tang, but will complain against the world! Please think twice. Ling Jing first objected:

"Think twice! Lord Ling, I thought that Li Tang had the intention of annexing the world, and we took this opportunity to weaken its strength, and also took the lifeblood of the other major separatist forces into our hands, wouldn't it be happy, it would be difficult to achieve great things if you were so timid! Ling Jing was angry when she heard Cao Dan snatch the white like this, but because of the face of Dou Jiande and Mrs. Cao, she didn't speak. Wang Fubao couldn't help it:

"Lord Cao, Lord Ling is also fighting for King Dou's hearts and minds, it's not some pedantic words, besides, there is a gap between us, if you want to attack us, Wang Shichong of Luoyang, Liu Wuzhou of Mayi, and Luo Yi of Youzhou are all in front of us. I won't be able to get here for a while! ”

"General Wang! What you said is light, now our dynasty is like the Qi State during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, thinking that the Qin State is far away, and does not repair swords and soldiers, and does not think about war. What is the result, Li Tang has the ambition to dominate the world, so we are now preparing for danger in times of peace, and my Daxia has not expanded an inch of land now because there are too many people like your General Wang Fubao, so now it is getting weaker and weaker, and the people are complaining, and now I, Cao Dan, want to revive the hegemony of Daxia, is this wrong? As soon as Wang Fubao heard that Cao Dan had recorded the reason for the people's complaints on his head, he was immediately angry!

"Who did you say made the people complain, if it weren't for your Cao Dan to expropriate and scrape the people's wealth everywhere, which made my people resentful in the hearts of the people of Daxia, you still have the face to say about me." As he spoke, he was about to step forward to beat Cao Dan, but Cao Dan saw that the situation was not good, and immediately hid behind Mrs. Cao:

"Sister, brother-in-law, this killing god is going to kill again, sister and brother-in-law save me!" When Wang Fubao heard this, his face turned even bluer.

"Okay, you treacherous villain, General Ben really can't let you go today!" As he spoke, he stepped forward and grabbed Cao Dan from behind Mrs. Cao:

"Enough, presumptuous!" Madame Cao shouted loudly:

"Wang Fubao, you are too rude. It's too presumptuous. Wang Fubao did not listen to Mrs. Cao's words, but instead shouted to Mrs. Cao:

"Mrs. Cao, since ancient times, there have been clouds, Si Chen, you are very unlucky, you are a woman, but you are doing politics everywhere in my Great Xia court, indulging your relatives to be corrupt and pervert the law outside, and doing misdeeds, today I laid down such a situation, you should be the culprit."

"You!" Mrs. Cao's face turned blue and white for a while. Mrs. Cao immediately turned her face to Dou Jiande and said:

"King! Look at that Wang Fubao, Wang Fubao insulted the concubines so much, it is clear that he does not take you in his eyes. King, if you don't punish him today, Wang Fubao, then I'm afraid that all the ministers of civil and military affairs will and pee on your head in the future. King! Cao Dan also contributed to the troubles:

"Yes! The king, no matter how you say it, the sister of the minister is also the mother of the country, but she is so insulted by the minister? This is really an insult to your prestige, the king! Please quickly cure the sin of disrespect of Wang Fubao. ”

"King! General Wang is loyal to you, but he is out of shape for a while, ask the king to open the net, and ask the king to think twice! Don't destroy the Great Wall or cut off your arm! Ling Jing quickly knelt in front of Dou Jiande and Mrs. Cao to intercede for Wang Fubao. and secretly signaled to Wang Fubao, signaling Wang Fubao to kneel down quickly and ask Mrs. Cao for guilt! Wang Fubao turned a blind eye to Ling Jing's gesture, straightened up, and said unashamedly:

"My Wang Fubao is standing upright, standing upright, today I just want to wash your eyes with the blood of Weichen." When Dou Jiande heard this, he was furious:

"It's the opposite, it's the opposite, your Wang Fubao is really the opposite, and he actually said such a big rebellious thing, come on! Pledge this bastard to this king, and behead him tomorrow. Wang Fubao kept struggling under the bondage of the guards:

"King! It's not a pity that my king Fubao died, I just want to ask the king to think twice, don't use the words of a villain and a woman, the poison of children's love has ruined the big summer that we have finally founded! King! ”

"Shut up the king! Drag this king down! Ling Jing couldn't look at it, and persuaded Dou Jiande:

"My lord, General Wang is very sincere to the king, and I ask the king to forgive him for his unintentional mistakes for the sake of his loyalty." Dou Jiande said to Ling Jing angrily:

"What! Are you going to turn against me? Ling Jing lowered her head in fear. Dou Jiande said to Cao Dan:

"Cao Dan, this salt matter, this king will be handed over to you, remember, don't let this king down!" Cao Dan was overjoyed when he heard it.

"Brother-in-law! No! King! Weichen must be cautious and cautious, and never meet the expectations of his uncle and king. Dou Jiande nodded. Late at night, a person came to the death row where Wang Fubao was being held, and two more people came out. One morning a few days later, Zuo Youxian was about to leave for Mayi, and Cao Dan came to see him off:

"Oops! Why didn't Zuo Xiangguo stay for a few more days, so that he could enter the friendship of the landlord? Zuo Youxian said modestly:

"Hey! I'm really embarrassed to disturb Lord Cao here, and besides, Lord Cao has taken over the important task of Daxia Salt. The nobles are busy, how can you bother so much in Xiaoai? As soon as he heard the existing compliment, Cao Dan was even more brilliant, and Cao Dan had already received the appointment of Dou Jiande - the salt inspector of the Great Xia Kingdom, responsible for all salt affairs in the Great Xia Kingdom. Cao Dan took the opportunity to replace all the more than 20 salt farms in Hebei, Shandong Province with his own people, and increased the price of official salt produced by the salt farms by more than ten times, and posted a notice that he was not allowed to export salt to places outside the Great Xia Kingdom, and also extorted rich households everywhere in the name of prohibiting illegal salt, and he took the opportunity to collect a large number of beauties' property.

"I just hope that Lord Cao can take good control of the checkpoint and join forces with our dynasty to deal with Li Tang, and in addition, I hope that Lord Cao will take care of me for the customs defense of your country to other places!"

"Definitely, definitely!"

"In addition, Lord Cao, if you are down one day, if you can go to Lord Cao's account to listen to it, please take care of Lord Cao at that time!"

"Mr. Zuo, where is this, if there is really such a day, I, Cao Dan, will definitely entrust Mr. with a heavy responsibility. is willing to swear by the sky, and will never break his word. ”

Today I made a 6,000-word move, come on Qingya four less, Qingya four less come on!
