Chapter 81: The Great Change (Part II)

Chengdu

There are three shops of the Song family on this street, one of which is a pharmacy, inside, the shopkeeper is waiting with his body down, and Song Heng is watching.

This store is not big, but the cabinets are densely packed and the medicines are very complete.

A few customers were coming in and out, and one of them shouted, "Shopkeeper, show me this wild ginseng"

Wild ginseng is naturally an expensive thing, Song Heng smiled: "You just go to business, you don't have to serve me." ”

The shopkeeper responded and went to do business, at this time, a person came in, bumped into Song Heng, and apologized again and again, and Song Heng's face changed, and after a while, Song Heng came out, as if the three souls were lost and incomplete, and they were blown by the wind with rain, and they were more sober.

The coachman came up and helped him into the car, and said with a smile: "Second master, it's windy and rainy, get in the car quickly."

Song Heng was stunned for a moment, and then immediately realized that he couldn't show his color in the eyes of outsiders, so he sighed abruptly, got in the car and sat down, as usual, and said: "Go home, go back to the uncle's house."

The coachman shouted, the carriage moved, and on a rainy day, there were still many pedestrians on the street, all holding umbrellas.

I just listened to the raindrops hitting the glass, sometimes tight and sometimes slow.

Song Heng would have felt very proud, although this glass is not a rare commodity now, and it is not something that ordinary people can afford, but at this time, Song Heng looked at it as if he didn't know it, and suddenly felt that it was too conspicuous.

Suddenly, the sentence just now floated in his ears again-"Wei Shuai wants to make a move to the Song family." ”

This was like thunder, and it suddenly made Song Heng's whole body tremble.

In fact, the Song family has filial piety to the Wei family, three thousand taels of silver every year, and there are gifts for the New Year's holidays......

The more Song Heng thought about it, the bigger his head became, and in the meantime, he really understood the fragility of businessmen who had no power and no soldiers, even if they were businessmen with ancestral families, in this troubled era.

Just thinking about it, the carriage stopped, and in the drizzle, Song Heng came down, only to see that a deputy butler immediately greeted him: "Second master." ”

"Hmm, is the uncle there?" Song Heng looked in a trance, his eyes glanced over, and said.

"Here, I'll lead the second master in," the butler said with a smile, and walked inside.

Song Heng nodded and didn't say anything.

When I arrived in the living room, I heard Song Han talking to a shopkeeper below: "How is the recipe of the dyeing workshop?"

"Uncle, the new recipe of the dyeing workshop, the color of the dyeing is good, the price is cheap, our silk cloth is dyed, and the branch of Jiangnan is contacted, half of it can be transported to Xiqin, but the workshop is opened, there are many workers, crowded together, and it is terrible to spread the plague......"

These words, Song Heng liked them very much before, but when he heard them, he was full of annoyance, and he couldn't slap the chattering guy.

Song Han glanced at him and knew that he had something, so he immediately said: "Okay, you can do these things yourself, I have something to say to the second master."

At this time, the shopkeeper came to his senses, hurriedly responded, retreated, and when there was no one, Song Han said in surprise: "What's wrong with you?"

"Big brother, our Song family is in trouble. ”

This sentence made Song Han change color, but he worked very hard to cultivate his qi, and as soon as he thought about it, he said: "Wei Shuai?"

"Yes, the people from the Wei Mansion we secretly befriended, we met today, and I said this sentence and passed by - Wei Shuai is going to make a move to the Song family. ”

Song Han stood up violently, pondered, and suddenly shuddered: "It's not good, we were careless." ”

A gust of wind outside sprinkled down with rain, brushed for a while, and gradually eased down.

Song Han said this, sat down slowly, took out a small bottle from his arms, frowned and drank a sip of medicinal wine, and calmed down.

After a long time, Song Hancai said: "We are careless, originally I thought, the Song family is in Chengdu, just a general house, important is important, but more business and contacts are all over Shuzhong, not to mention the separation of the family far away in the world, Wei Cundong copied us, and only broke the branches and leaves, and could not break the roots, but he had a mortal enmity with the Song family, which may not be cost-effective." ”

"Now that I think about it, this Wei Cundong has bad intentions, but this move is to ask us to operate, one is to raid the house to obtain military funds, and the other is to stimulate Wang Hongyi. ”

"Big brother, it is common for us to marry Wang Hongyi, and it is common to be suspicious, and it is understandable to raid the family to obtain military funds, what is the matter with this stimulating Wang Hongyi?"

"Although the three mansions of Chengdu are practicing, but at most they collect some materials, it is difficult to improve, and now Wei Cundong has raised 30,000 regular soldiers and 10,000 van soldiers, which has reached the limit, and he can no longer afford to raise more soldiers. ”

"If you say that this collection of materials is also limited, Wei Cundong has been in Chengdu for ten years, how much money has been decided, and how much can he make up temporarily?"

"The reason for the hesitation is that there is Hongze Town, which is blocked in the middle and has become a stumbling block, if it is an ordinary stumbling block, this stone is hard and big. ”

"Seeing that the general trend of Yizhou in the east of Shu has been decided, this Hongze Town has been surrounded, and it is difficult to break through, so there is no hope for hegemony, only to die in battle or take refuge in one side. ”

Although anyone with a discerning eye can see it, Du Gongzhen also knows it in his heart, but this person is also a famous general, and it is not easy for him to turn around and surrender in his heart. ”

"It's not easy for Wei Cundong to raise a large army to gnaw down this stone, and even if he gnaws it, how can it be done without a year and a half, which gives Wang Hongyi time, besides, whoever raises troops may force Du Gongzhen to defect to the enemy, how can he act rashly?"

"Wang Hongyi is different from these two towns, he first got two towns, and I heard that he got the favor of heaven, and he produced three stones, and now he is working hard to strengthen the army and train the generals, and every day he gets it, he will be stronger, who doesn't know about this situation?"

"We and Wang Hongyi are in-laws, if we behead us, stimulate Wang Hongyi, and make Wang Hongyi raise troops to rescue or take revenge, it will definitely interrupt the development of this son, make its foundation unstable, and will attack Du Gongzhen, one is that Du Gongzhen was injured in both defeats, and the other is that Du Gongzhen took refuge in Chengdu because of this - it is a good plan, so I want to copy my Song family, hey, I didn't think of it a long time ago."

When Song Heng heard this, he couldn't help but turn pale, the eldest brother is indeed the eldest brother, he saw it through, and asked, "Then Wang Hongyi, will he come?"

Song Han listened, sighed, and said: "Don't look at the usual generosity of this son, if it is for us to raise troops immediately, this is impossible, you see that after he became in power, he took every step of the way - this matter of the Li family is really remarkable, I don't believe that this son usually doesn't know about the changes of the Li family, otherwise how can he preemptively strike at a critical time?"

"Thinking about it in retrospect, Lao Shuai and this son both played good chess, calculating step by step, first moving the Li family out, to Taisu County, and then letting Liu Zhen consume strength, and then pretending not to know the changes, and then eradicating them in one fell swoop. ”

"This Li Chengye is still his brother-in-law, he still robbed his family and exterminated the clan, which can not be said to be ruthless, but he left the old handsome daughter and posthumous son to show magnanimity, and afterwards forced the veterans to give up power, you see that this step by step is so cold, but no one feels sinister and mean, but thinks that this son is wise and martial, this scheming and this city is really in danger of mountains and rivers, you say that these people will raise troops in advance for the sake of a temporary conflict and ruin a big thing?"

"But You'er is pregnant with this child, if it is a boy, maybe it is the eldest son," Song Heng said unwillingly.

Song Han glanced at his younger brother and snorted coldly: "It's because of this that you can't ask for help casually, it's taboo for women to interfere in politics for generations, don't forget that this son also has a flat wife, if it is a big deal because of this, even if this son wants to be saved, the whole town will be abolished."

Speaking of this, Song Han sneered and said, "I really didn't think it through, but it was impossible for Wei Cundong to think so cheaply." ”

First of all, Song Ziye happened to be outside, and immediately sent a secret message to him, telling him not to come back. ”

"Secondly, all the goods and gold and silver in Chengdu should not be moved, once moved, Wei Cundong will smell the breath, and everything will run normally, and even collect a sum of silver and come back, and let out the wind to calm Wei Cundong's heart. ”

"Third, the outstanding children of the clan should be released and secretly contacted, and you will also go out, in the name of collecting cash. ”

"Big brother, what about you?"

"I can't go, I can't move, if I move, it's a big deal, hum, our family has never taken precautions, and the money is not placed in the open, this Chengdu, that is, some goods and shops, if you want to copy, just copy it...... As long as you and Ziye are outside, and Wang Hongyi, see if he dares to really kill me? Don't you want to leave a little way back for the future?"

"Hmph, Wei Cundong will copy my house first, I will copy his home, my Song family has been running Chengdu for hundreds of years, and it is intertwined, where is no one? After you go out, you will take refuge in Wang Hongyi, give people money, food and fine work, so that Wei Cundong's every move is under the eyeline, if necessary, you can pull someone to fight back, see if he dies" Speaking of this, Song Hanmeng's punch fell on the table, and his eyes showed awe-inspiring killing intent.

The Song family, a big family that has been running for a hundred years, can only be uprooted unless they unify Shu, otherwise, it will be a big disaster, and this time Song Han is really angry.

Take Shen Wansan on the earth as an example, Shen Wansan's fortune started from his own hard work.

"His ancestors started with farming...... The eldest father is rich, and the heir is rich, and he is handsome and his children are strong", and later runs a business association, and is very rich.

This huge rich Shen Wansan, first supported Zhang Shicheng's Great Zhou regime, Zhang Shicheng also set up a monument for Shen Wansan, and later invested in Zhu Yuanzhang, Zhu Yuanzhang set up the capital of Nanjing, Shen Wansan once spent a huge amount of money to help build one-third of the capital, and Zhu Yuanzhang sealed the officials of his two sons.

With such a huge wealth, don't Zhang Shicheng and Zhu Yuanzhang want to kill and seize property?

It's not that I don't want to, but I really don't dare and can't, because Shen Wansan's industry is all over the place, if he only copied the branches and leaves, but escaped the roots, then such a huge rich family can invest tens of millions of enemies, worth 100,000 troops, who dares to do this?

Zhang Shicheng didn't dare, Zhu Yuanzhang didn't dare, only after the unification of the world, such businessmen have no way out, can be uprooted, now the Song family's foundation is deeper, Wei Cundong has this mind in the absence of unification of Shu, in Song Han's view, it is old and mediocre, perverse, and self-defeating

Seeing that the eldest brother had such a plan, Song Heng suddenly had a reassurance, and responded: "No, I'll go and do it for my brother, and see how this Wei Cundong dies."

Wei Cundong, a general who supports the three counties, seems to be a dead end at this time.

However, after saying cruel words, Song Heng said: "Big brother, then I will go down, this matter of mobilizing industry and contacts still needs to be considered and arranged as a whole." ”

"You just go and do it, hum, the old man's head is not easy to take, take it, the nine clans of the Wei family will be buried together"
