Xiao Yu is the overlord of the dominant side, Liu Han made him understand in one sentence, this is killing two birds with one stone, two peaches killing three soldiers, why didn't he see it at that time?

No, no, Xiao Yu stood up and was about to go out, but just as he was about to leave, he sat down dejectedly, since those nobles have designed it, then he can't say that he won't do it, there must be more beneficial tricks waiting for him.

"Brother Liu, please give me advice. Xiao Yu stood up and sincerely bowed to Liu Han, looking like he was in danger and begging for a way to live.

Liu Han shook his head lightly and sighed: "Brother Xiao, you are a hegemon, I can save you." ”

"Brother Liu, don't be like this, I have heard that my brother is very clever and very comparable. "Xiao Yu is very sincere.

Liu Han frowned: "I've heard about it earlier, I don't know who Brother Xiao listened to?"

Xiao Yu was speechless for a moment, knowing that he had missed his mouth, he smiled a little embarrassedly, Liu Han stared at him: "I've always been curious, why are you looking for me?"

Xiao Yu was silent, Liu Han sat still and didn't speak, the two of them were silent like this, Liu Han's attitude was very clear, the key now is Xiao Yu, if he can't confess, the two sides will not cooperate.

Xiao Yu was very embarrassed, his expression was uncertain, and he sighed after a while.

"I used to be an official family member and served under the command of the king of Shaoyang County. ”

The cold hairs on Liu Han's back stood up, it was actually Lao Huang, Lao Huang, who held his countless secrets, this guy was actually an old acquaintance with the owner of Fengyu Building, no wonder he seemed to know a lot of things suddenly, no wonder..

Xiao Yu saw Liu Han's nervousness, and sighed softly: "You guessed, it was Mr. Huang, when I was under the command of the prince, I was just a confidant guard responsible for protecting the safety of the prince, not an important person, Mr. Huang was the advisor that the prince relied on, so after the death of the prince, Mr. Huang was assigned to the army, and I, relying on the strength of the division, escaped by luck, but I could no longer stay in the army, so I returned to the division, and only reappeared after five years of penance in the division." ”

Xiao Yu is very honest now, and told Liu Han about his experience, he wandered around the rivers and lakes for two years before entering the imperial capital, and then created the foundation of Fengyulou, his good friends in the army were all under the command of the king of Shaoyang County back then, such as yesterday's Song Ne, who was the same as him back then, but he was the last guard.

"The prince is lenient, most of his subordinates have received his grace, after his death, we swore to avenge him, at first we only killed a few, but... Xiao Yu said calmly.

In fact, the story is very simple, the scholar died for his confidant, and they were lucky enough to escape the subordinates of the king of Shaoyang County who took action after the death of the king of Shaoyang County, assassinating two court officials, which aroused the vigilance of the court, so they were hunted down, and when the wind was getting tighter, they decided to suspend the operation, so he returned to the division, and practiced penance in the division, and after five years of cultivation for the great advancement, so he re-emerged from the rivers and lakes, but the former colleagues were either dead or desperate, and there was no idea of revenge.

Gradually, his revenge faded, so he wandered the rivers and lakes, and then re-entered the imperial capital, contacted his old friends who were still serving in the army, and with their help, he created the foundation of Fengyulou.

Some time ago, I met Lao Huang on the street by chance, the two talked very well, and then the two met many times in private, this time the palace found him, so that he was very surprised and happy, happy is that he can intervene in Caoyun, this is a huge wealth, and at the same time can expand the power of Fengyulou along the Caoyun channel, which is more important than that wealth.

What is surprising is that meddling in Cao Yun is bound to conflict with the Cao Gang, the Cao Gang is a big gang in the rivers and lakes, the potential is amazing, and the initial investment is huge, and it is impossible to get the funds of thirty boats with Fengyulou alone.

Xiao Yu was in a dilemma, so he had to ask Lao Huang for advice, Lao Huang recommended Liu Han to him, Lao Huang told him that Liu Han had the financial resources, and more importantly, Liu Han's strength was much stronger than what he showed, Lao Huang clearly told him that Liu Han's cultivation was not worse than him, don't look at the few people in Liufu, the real conflict, Fengyulou is not necessarily an opponent.

Xiao Yu was skeptical of Lao Huang's words, but Lao Huang left too much impression on him back then, so he chose to believe it.

Liu Han didn't say a word after listening to it, but his heart was a little calmer, it seemed that this old guy hadn't revealed more secrets, but he still had to knock and knock this old thing when he went back, and he didn't report such an important matter to him.

What the hell is this old guy trying to do?

"The relationship between the Cao Gang and the King of Shaoyang County was not very good?" asked Liu Han seriously.

Xiao Yu shook his head: "The prince is not bad to the Cao Gang, the prince's enemies are mainly the gate lord and the wealthy family, and there are also relatives and clans, and the people in the rivers and lakes are not much involved." ”

Liu Han picked up the teacup and silently drank a few sips of tea, Xiao Yu's mood became a little irritable, his chest was like a sleepy beast roaring, he got up and wandered in the hall, his heart was chaotic.

As the close attendant of the former Shaoyang County King, he knows very well that people in the rivers and lakes don't look at their usual majesty, but if they really want to deal with the power of the imperial court, they are not vulnerable at all, not to mention his wind and rain building with a history of only a few years, even if the Taiping Dao Changshengzong has a history of thousands of years, he does not dare to confront the imperial court.

"Anxious?" Liu Han looked at Xiao Yu and asked with a smile, Xiao Yu was extremely bitter, and after thinking about it for a long time, he still couldn't find a way, the court was a conspiracy and conspiracy to come together, so he couldn't dodge.

"We businessmen have a saying, high risk can lead to high profits," Liu Han said lightly: "I mean, this can be done." ”

"What can be done?!! what can be done?" Xiao Yu was very surprised, he thought that Liu Han would immediately flee after seeing through the conspiracy of the imperial court, after all, the imperial court did not target him, and there was not much deep friendship between them, at least he Xiao Yu would do so.

"Do what you have to do. Liu Han's tone was still flat.

Xiao Yu didn't understand, and asked suspiciously: "What should I do?"

Liu Han shook his head regretfully: "You are the master of the Wind and Rain Building, I don't understand this, you actually did a good job in the front, so let's continue." ”

"Go on!" Xiao Yu was stunned for a while, suddenly understood, and asked tentatively: "What Brother Liu means is that you are willing to partner." ”

Liu Han nodded: "Thousands of miles for officials are only profitable, we businessmen, thousands of miles of business is also profitable, Brother Xiao, Cao Yun is a big profit, not to mention the freight of the imperial court, just say that you can make a lot of money by taking away smuggled goods, and there is no problem in getting tens of thousands of taels a year, which is much richer than collecting the protection fee of the Qinglou Casino." ”

Xiao Yu smiled bitterly, now he has seen what it means to die for money, he has already retreated, this guy knows that it is so dangerous, and he still wants to jump in, I really don't know how death is written? !

"Just do what you did before, pull in the fallen horse, he has dozens of big boats to use, so that our ships will have it, which can save a lot of money, and you can also buy some boats, so that there is no problem in making up thirty boats. ”

Speaking of this, he paused slightly, sorted out his thoughts before continuing: "Can you refuse the request in the palace? Definitely not, then you can only deal with the Cao Gang, although the Cao Gang is big, but it is not strong enough, and the Cao Gang has been controlling this golden waterway for many years, and there are probably many people who are red-eyed." ”

Xiao Yu stabilized his mood, thought about it, and felt that Liu Han was right, he couldn't refuse the palace's request, so he could only deal with the Cao Gang.

There is no way out, only to die and survive.

"Let's do a division of labor, you are in the light, I am in the dark, at least for the time being, and when I need to come forward, I will come forward. ”

Liu Han said this very slowly and cautiously, which represented an attitude of his.

"I need two hundred and fifty thousand taels of silver. ”

Once decided, Xiao Yu is very simple and direct, since he has decided to fight, then use the sword in his hand to speak.

"Otherwise, Luoma Water Village can provide at least twenty big boats, and the rest is about ten, according to each one thousand two hundred taels of silver, you will need 150,000 taels of silver, plus some other expenses, at most 200,000, you have 50,000, I will give you another 150,000, enough." ”

Xiao Yu thought for a while: "What if you don't want to fall off the horse?"

"There is a good chance that this thing will work, and none of their brothers are fools. Liu Leng smiled coldly, with 150,000 close to falling off the horse, this price is high enough.

Xiao Yu hesitated and felt that Liu Han was right, if the two brothers were not interested in Cao Yun, they would not have broken into the funeral provocation.

"After those people are confirmed, let's discuss the issue of share distribution. ”

Xiao Yu nodded, and the two discussed some details, Xiao Yu wanted to go with him to see the fallen horse, but Liu Han refused, he told Xiao Yu that his main job in the near future is to make the auction, recover the funds, if he has time, he may have to go to Jiangnan to build a branch in Jiangnan.

After discussing with Xiao Yu for a while, he found that Xiao Yu almost didn't understand business, and still solved the problem according to the methods of the gangs, so Liu Han had to supplement his business knowledge.

"Cao Yun, to be precise, should be a commercial problem, and commercial problems should be solved by commercial means," Liu Han said: "The Cao Gang used Jianghu means to solve this problem, so he formed a huge Jianghu gang, for the imperial court, such a Jianghu gang is a hidden danger, so, to clean up, this is not only because Fang Zhen supports King Qi, even if he doesn't support it, the imperial court will regard him as a hidden danger." ”

"What we want to do is to solve this problem in a commercial way, not to set up any gangs, just call a shipping trading company, or this transportation trading company, from Huainan Jiangnan, to transport grain and other materials to the imperial capital, and the members of the trading company will get salaries, and this will be done. ”

Liu Han said very simply, but Xiao Yu shook his head: "Do you know why the Cao Gang is the Cao Gang?"

Liu Han shook his head, and Xiao Yu said: "How far is it from Jiangnan to the imperial capital, tens of thousands of miles, how many states and counties do you have to pass through, how many water bandits and bandits are along the way, how to ensure the safety of the fleet?"

"It's not a problem," Liu Han said, "and we can set up another dart bureau to provide security for the fleet." ”

Xiao Yu was a little confused, isn't this taking off his pants and farting, it's too much.

"Don't you think it's too much? Liu Han looked at him with a smile, Xiao Yu nodded hesitantly, Liu Han shook his head lightly: "This is risk prevention, chivalry is forbidden by martial arts, the dart game is our shield, if something happens, the dart board can take responsibility for us." ”

Liu Han didn't say it clearly enough, but Xiao Yu still understood it somewhat, and by doing so, the court's attention would be focused on the dart game, and he would not notice the shipping company, so as to ensure that Caoyun was always in his own hands.

But in order to achieve this, there is still a problem that must be solved, and that is the porter.

The reason why the Cao Gang is so powerful is not that he has many masters, but that there are many people who live on the Cao Gang, such as the porter at the dock.

In addition to the boats, the Cao Gang also controlled the porters at the big piers along the way, although these porters were not cultivated, they were numerous, adding up to hundreds of thousands, which was even more dangerous in the eyes of the imperial court.

"It's not a big problem," said Liu Han, "the porters rely on hard work to eat, and the Cao Gang's ships can't be reached, so they can't stop them from loading other ships to make money, they also have to support their families." ”

Xiao Yu shook his head: "The Cao Gang has rudders at important docks along the way, and the porters are controlled by these rudders. ”

"It's useless," Liu Han replied casually, he got up and stood: "People want to eat, Brother Xiao, Caoyun is a big cake, if you don't say anything else, just talk about private salt, and you can get more than 100,000 silver every year." I'm going to the city, you go and find the fallen horses, see what they mean, oh, by the way, we can also pull a scholar or a clan. ”

Xiao Yu was a little blind, he felt that he couldn't keep up with Liu Han's jumping thoughts, why did he suddenly want to pull up a scholar door valve again, looked up and wanted to ask, Liu Han had already left the living room.

Xiao Yu smiled bitterly and followed, he suddenly felt a little unable to understand Liu Han, Mr. Huang admired him very much, saying that he was both civil and military, and he was a rare masterpiece, but his fate was bumpy, the pearl was dusty, and it had not yet been discovered, once the time came, it would be dazzling.

After thinking about it, Xiao Yu still didn't speak, after touching it so many times, Xiao Yu had already noticed that Liu Han looked very peaceful, and his attitude towards people was low, but he was very proud inside, and he wouldn't say much about people he didn't look down on.

At present, the so-called shipping company still exists only in their discussions, and it is useless to have any ideas.

After leaving the manor, the two parted ways, Liu Han's carriage headed towards the city, and Xiao Yu arrived at the riverside wharf, got on the boat that had been waiting there, and drove in the direction of Yanshi.

In the manor of the Cao Gang, the funeral in the side courtyard is still going on, the incense and candles are lingering, but the crying is much quieter, and the guests who come to pay their respects are much less, which seems a little deserted.

In the small living room in the backyard, it was full of people, and the first person sitting in the first place was Fang Zhen, the leader of the Cao Gang who couldn't wait for a long time yesterday.

Fang Zhen only returned to Zhuangzi this morning, yesterday he came out of the official mansion, it was already night, the city gate had long been closed, so he could only stay in the city for one night, this morning only went out of the city, and when he returned to the manor, he heard about yesterday's incident, which made him very annoyed.

He wanted to rush out, find these two daring guys, and tear them to pieces.
