Li Mi said coldly: "This time you are wrong to blame me, it was Xue Ju who took the initiative to find Brother Yang, of course, if he didn't come to us, I would have gone to him soon, the current situation is that your friends feel that the Sui Dynasty is gone, and the troubled times are about to begin, and they are all ready to move, only you are still here to move." The decline of the Sui Dynasty, since the beginning of Guanxi, on the Silk Road in Longyou, Hexi, in order to entertain the missions of those countries in the Western Regions and satisfy Yang Guang's face, he has long been miserable, and people's minds have changed, compared to the land of Hebei and Shandong, there are more than that, and only you will think that these places are very stable. ”

Wang Shichong shook his head: "Of course these places will not be stable, but Wang Shiji knew back then that although the people in the Sweet and Cool Land are strong, it has always been a place of rebellion and secession, but the land is vast and sparsely populated, and it is extremely difficult to control the barbarians of all different races, and the most important thing is that it is too far away from the Eastern Capital, far away from the power center of the Sui Dynasty. If nothing else, let's just say that this fund, he, a local tyrant in Jincheng, cannot be maintained. ”

Li Mi laughed: "Yes, Xue Ju's appetite is too big, I can't satisfy him, but if you look at this, will you be so calm?" As he spoke, he handed the sixth letter in his hand to Wang Shichong.

Wang Shichong only glanced at the envelope, and sweat began to break out on his head: "You, how could you have brought in this gang of profiteers from Guzang?" How could they come together with you? ”

Li Mi smiled and shook his head: "Wang Xingman, look at the content of the letter." ”

Wang Shichong gritted his teeth and opened the envelope. I saw that there was a lot of water in it. On the surface, it looks like just an ordinary letter. did not talk about the rebellion, but just said that Yang Su, the prince of Yueguo, had been cared for for many years, in order to maintain the friendship between the two sides, a special gift was prepared, and please smile, the recipient was Yang Xuangan, and on the payment, the four major profiteers in Guzang City. Headed by Li Liang, the head of the Li business group, the An family, the Cao family, and the Liang family are all named, except for Wang Shichong, the current president of the Guzang Business Group Federation.

Wang Shichong gritted his teeth and said: "This gang of profiteers actually rebelled, but if they are doing well, why should they fall to Yang Xuangan?" ”

Li Mi smiled slightly: "You don't know this, your Wang family's business group is all over the world, and the east is not bright and the west is bright." Business in the Western Regions is no longer good, and it can also be from the south. Other businesses in the north and the interior of the Central Plains are supplemented, but Guzang's business group only does business in the Western Regions, and has been allied with you for many years before, because you control the Western Regions and control the Western Turks, which can provide huge benefits for doing business, but now this line is broken, and the relationship between the Changsun family and the current Khan of the Western Regions is very good, and it is Tang Guogong and the Changsun family who control the business power of the Western Regions. ”

Wang Shichong sighed: "Alas, I didn't expect that my mind was all on the Eastern Expedition to Goguryeo, but I didn't expect the situation in the west to be like this, careless." But why wasn't this letter addressed to Li Yuan, but to Yang Xuangan? If I have no power, will Yang Xuangan and you Li Mi have it? ”

Li Mi shook his head: "This is Li Yuan's cleverness, he sent his ally, Gao Shilian, the uncle of the eldest grandson family, to follow Cui Junsu to the Western Regions last time, and when he returned to Guzang, he secretly met the leaders of the four major chambers of commerce in Guzang, and explained the situation to them clearly, they were all willing to throw themselves into the Li family, but Gao Shilian said that now Li Yuan is being targeted by Yang Guang too fiercely, and taking the initiative to stick to the Li family at this time will cause big trouble to the Li family, and it will not give any benefit to the businessmen of Guzang." Therefore, Gao Shilian pointed out a clear way for these profiteers, and asked them to befriend Yang Xuangan first, and the Li family would secretly facilitate the business of these profiteers in the Western Regions. ”

Wang Shichong's brows furrowed: "Then what is the connection between Yang Xuangan and Li Yuan's family?" These Guzang businessmen are not fools, they originally wanted to take refuge in Li Yuan, but in the end they got involved with Yang Xuangan, a dangerous element, isn't this asking for trouble for themselves? ”

Li Mi laughed: "This is Li Yuan's power, at the beginning, the Guzang businessmen did have worries about this, but Gao Shilian said that Li Yuan and Yang Su have actually been allies for a long time, and the last marriage is proof, in the end, although this family affair cannot continue because Yang Su was forced to die, but the two families are still allies in secret." ”

"The Yang family's family is big, much richer than the Li family, this kind of business can be done by the Yang family, you probably haven't paid attention to the movements in the Western Regions for a long time, your shops are closed, but the business houses under the names of the four major profiteers have sprung up like mushrooms and opened a lot."

"These firms are all Li Yuan, Brother Yang, and Guzang's profiteers, as well as Xue Ju's four-party partnership, Li Yuan relies on his relationship with the countries of the Western Regions, accounting for thirty percent, Brother Yang and Gu Zang businessmen, relying on cash to account for thirty percent each, and the last one can't give money, only Xue Ju who provides escorts all the way, so no matter what the general trend of the world is, they all have money to make."

"Now they have decided that the world is about to be in chaos, and they have long been ready to take action, just like when you gave an order, you could let them all come to rebel, but this time the people who gave the order became Li Yuan and Brother Yang, and it was no longer you Wang Shichong."

The corners of Wang Shichong's mouth were hooked, and his eyes were shining: "Businessmen are businessmen, they are short-sighted, mercenary, they just do business well, and what to do with this big thing in the world, it's really a brain in water." ”

Li Mi smiled: "Do you think there are a few businessmen like you, who can really have the world in mind?" Yang Guang put on a proud face to save face, and along the way, let the envoys of the Western Regions eat and drink for free, and the country's treasury money is spent, so let these local wealthy businessmen play a part, these Guzang businessmen, on the one hand, the money in the Western Regions can't be earned, on the other hand, they have to be forced to subsidize Yang Guang, Wang Shichong, you are a businessman, you should know how to cut off people's money, such as the sentence of killing parents, compared to those Hebei river digging migrant workers, these Guzang businessmen have no more hatred for Yang Guang, so as long as they are introduced, they will immediately get together with Brother Yang. ”

Wang Shichong sighed, looked at the last envelope in Li Mi's hand, and muttered: "Since you have even dug up the four major profiteers in Guzang, then this last letter, you don't have to guess, you also know that it was from Xiao Mi." (To be continued.) )
