Great Martial Arts Auxiliary System

Chapter 698 Calculation
Shangguan Qiuyu can naturally see the jealousy and the fleeting trace of hatred in Dongfang Bai's eyes very clearly.

However, he didn't care, because the Dongfang family couldn't do anything to Shangguan Qiuyu.

There is a saying that people don't fight with officials, even if it is a half-official and half-business family like the Dongfang family, they are facing a big soldier like the Shangguan family who speaks with their fists.

He also didn't dare to come to Yin, because Shangguan Qiuyu's cheap grandfather was one of the big men in the military.

With just one sentence, Dayu's army's food and grass supply can be replaced immediately.

Dayu has established the country for thousands of years, and there are countless merchants. Are you afraid that you can't find a few merchants who supply grain and grass?
Therefore, Shangguan Qiuyu was not afraid of the Dongfang family making trouble for him at all.

And the reason why he suggested to Xuanyuan Jing was to ask the Ding family to contribute food and grass to meet the needs of his cheap grandfather's army going west.

The reason is that he doesn't want his cheap grandfather to be controlled by others because of the military rations.

Now he is not short of money, even if he is short of money, now he has the huge cash machine of Lianyue Pavilion behind him, so he is very strong.

However, considering that the Dongfang family has a large number of grain channels, if they fall out with it, it may not be conducive to their own purchase of grain.

So, turning his eyes, thinking about it, pointing to the burning knife on the table, he pointed to Dongfang Baiyi:

"Then I wonder if Brother Dongfang is interested?"

Seeing Shangguan Qiuyu pointing to the wine on the table and saying something inexplicable, Dongfang Bai couldn't help being taken aback.

Immediately, as if thinking of something, he asked in a tone of disbelief:

"What do you mean, Major General?"

"hehe"

As Dongfang Bai expected, Shangguan Qiuyu smiled and said:

"Brother Dongfang must know that all the wealth in the world cannot be earned by just relying on the strength of one family.

I am a person who believes that if you have money, everyone can earn it together. There is a saying that there are many people and there is strength. The Dongfang family has the grain needed for wine making, and I have the formula for this wine.

As for His Royal Highness, he can provide us with transportation channels. The three of us have the money to contribute money, and the ability to contribute. I wonder what the two of you think? "

"Hiss..." Hearing Shangguan Qiuyu's words, both Dongfang Bai and Xuanyuan Jing couldn't help but gasped.

Not to mention what Shangguan Qiuyu thought, but compared to Dongfang Bai and Xuanyuan Jing, they were shocked by Shangguan Qiuyu's words.

Among them, Xuanyuan Jing was especially important. You must know that Xuanyuan Jing was the prince, and the Shangguan family had never expressed their position in the prince's battle.

Now, although Shangguan Qiuyu was talking about making wine to make money, he also brought Xuanyuan Jing in.

This made both Dongfang Bai and Xuanyuan Jing unable to guess the meaning of their words.

In the eyes of the two, the matter of wine making is a small matter, and the alliance of the three is the real thing. This naturally makes them very shocked.

Of course, Dongfang Bai, the two of them, was shocked by Shangguan Qiuyu's audacity. After all, the Shangguan family had never expressed their position on the prince's succession before.

Now, if this matter gets out, what will Xuanyuan Sheng, who is the emperor, think then? This is no small matter.

Although the Dongfang family is one of the four major merchants, it does not hold military power like the Shangguan family. At the same time, it has half a state fief and holds millions of elite private soldiers.

Therefore, the Dongfang family, like other families that are also the four major merchants, has never expressed their position among the princes.

In order not to choose the wrong person, when the time comes, the city gate will catch fire and the fish in the pond will be affected.

On the other hand, Xuanyuanjing, after hearing Shangguan Qiuyu's words, was puzzled at first, then ecstatic, his face was as if he had been slapped with chicken blood.

From Xuanyuanjing's point of view, no matter whether Shangguan Qiuyu did it on purpose or not, it at least showed Shangguan Qiuyu's attitude.

To integrate the Shangguan family, as long as Shangguan Qiuyu supports him, the prince Xuanyuanjing, that is enough.

As for Shangguan Xiong, the Lord of the Town on Shangguan Qiuyu's head, his attitude is not very important in Xuanyuanjing's view.

Because the Shangguan family will always be taken over by Shangguan Qiuyu in the future, as long as Shangguan Qiuyu has this intention, then Xuanyuan Jing's crown prince will be as stable as Mount Tai.

As the crown prince, the first heir to the dynasty, he didn't need to fight for anything at all, he just needed to secure the position of crown prince.

As long as he secures the position of prince, no matter how the other princes jump up and down, as long as his position as prince is stable, he will be able to sit on the throne in the future as a matter of course.

And relying on the influence of the Shangguan family in the military, as long as the Shangguan family is willing to express their views, his crown prince, as long as he is not stupid, no one can move him.

It was precisely because of this that Xuanyuan Jing was so excited, and by the way, looked at Shangguan Qiuyu more pleasingly than before.

However, Dongfang Bai on the side didn't answer for a long time, which made Xuanyuan Jing's fiery heart calm down instantly.

He was excited just now, but he was a little carried away, but anyway, Shangguan Qiuyu showed him kindness.

Although he didn't know what the other party's plan was, it didn't hinder Xuanyuan Jing's views on his current transformation.

Although he intends to guard against Shangguan Qiuyu, but in the face of stabilizing his own position, he chooses to ignore his suspicion of Shangguan Qiuyu.

As a child of the royal family, he naturally has the heart to maintain the rule of the Xuanyuan family's imperial power.

However, this is only based on the fact that he can continue to secure his position as the crown prince and become the Ninth Five-Year Lord in the future, so he will consciously safeguard the interests of the royal family.

If he couldn't even save his own life, how could he have the heart to protect the interests of the royal family.

Thinking of the outstanding achievements of his third brother, he already has a certain prestige in the military.

Now, it has begun to settle down again, moving closer to the direction of the government, which has made all the courtiers and local officials have a good impression of it.

Maybe it's nothing now, but maybe in the future, if I continue to do nothing, I will just quietly watch my third brother develop.

At that time, it is not certain whether I can continue to sit firmly in this seat.

An overview of the princes of the past dynasties, all those who have been deprived of the prince's position, even if they do not die, their fate can be called bleak.

Although he, Xuanyuanjing, thinks that he has no great ability, he is definitely not someone who just sits and waits to die.

Knowing that he had no way out, he naturally tried every means to secure his crown prince position.

At the beginning of his trip to southern Xinjiang, he also went there with the mentality of making meritorious service. At the beginning, he was lucky, and met Shangguan Qiuyu, and found the grandson of Shangguan Xiong, the Duke of Zhen.

This made his third younger brother, who was already gaining prestige in the army, lose all the advantages he had accumulated under the suppression of the generals of Lord Zhen Guo.

After all, no matter how high the prestige of the third prince and war king was, it was only because of a smooth raid on the barbarians outside the Great Wall.

Compared with the prestigious Zhen Guogong and the prestige of Shangguan's family in the military, there is no comparison at all.

However, it is a pity that Xuanyuan Jing finally succeeded and lost Nanjiang.

He didn't want to be plotted against by the Southern Barbarian army division, and in the end, the Southern Border Dragon Guard and the Arrest Division suffered heavy losses, so that the original advantages were completely lost.

Perhaps this is 'time and fate'.
