Time Traveling Routine Movie King
Chapter 110 Brick Tea
When he returned to the Shen Mansion at noon, including Leng Shaojun, Zihuan, An Guogong, Wan Jinhou and his sons were all sitting in the Shen Mansion waiting for him. As soon as Shen Bai entered the hall, they all turned their heads to stare at him .
"What's the matter?" Shen Bai looked behind him, he wouldn't be surprised if Yu Wentuo was standing behind at this time, because the expressions of these people in the hall were too rich.
"I said Lord Shen, please sit down and talk about the matter between you and the emperor!" Wan Jinhou looked at him, it was 'you' and 'you' again, his urgent tone made Shen Bai want to laugh.
"What's the matter with me and the emperor?" Shen Bai sat down, took a sip of Zihuan's tea.
An Guogong looked at Shen Bai: "You and the emperor have reconciled?"
"Pfft!" Shen Bai spit out tea, looked at An Guogong: "Reconcile with the emperor, who is qualified to reconcile with the emperor?"
"No, I am." An Guogong thought for a while and didn't know what to say.
"I know!" Shen Bai signaled that he understood: "Others can't understand the matter between me and the emperor, but there is one thing, we are like arguing with children, we all have to fight for supremacy. But it doesn't matter. In terms of big impact, all temptations are temptations, but he doesn't know about other changes that may occur at any time behind the temptations, and I don't know either, so it's best not to get involved, otherwise the theater may be more dangerous than the acting. "
After Shen Bai's explanation, An Guogong and the others became even more puzzled, with uncertain expressions on their faces.
"That is to say, the emperor is fun, and lacks someone to play with. You are, Abai, right?" Zihuan said uncertainly.
Shen Bai nodded: "It can be said that this is the case, and the emperor wants to test too many people, too many things, no one can figure it out, not only for me, but also for other people, so don't think that the Tian family's temporary No matter how happy or angry, any counterattack without results is false. Only when real rewards and punishments come, will it be real."
Several people present were silent, thinking about Shen Bai's words.
In fact, when Shen Bai came out of the South Study Room, he had already figured out this problem, especially for his violence in front of Yu Wentuo these two days without getting any punishment.
There are several reasons. One is that he keeps getting stuck in Yu Wentuo's game. No matter how Yu Wentuo admits that he is wrong about Leng Shaojun, even if he says 'this is just a joke', his reputation is already solid. lost.
Second, no matter how upset he is, he is offending all established opponents, and even pushing away some people who can form alliances temporarily. This is exactly what Yu Wentuo thought of. He only hopes that Shen Bai is isolated and not a huge mountain. .
Third, he showed his uncalmness in front of Yu Wentuo. Although he dealt with the situation calmly, in fact, what was exposed under his calm personality seemed to be his true and innocent personality.
With these three points alone, Yu Wentuo can let him temporarily make a nest on his head with a straight face.
But at the end of the day, Yu Wentuo suddenly joked, which meant that the temptation was over. If he didn't restrain himself, he would just be looking for death for himself.
There is a needle hidden in the cotton, a knife hidden in a smile, nothing more than that.
After asking the questions, I will leave you to have dinner together at noon.
When everyone left, Shen Bai asked Huang Ji'an to sit in the study.
"Guan Zhao also came over together." Shen Bai also said to Zhao Pu.
When they arrived at Qingsi Hall, Shen Bai asked them to sit down.
"I don't know if there are people from Jianghu in Bianjing City?" Shen Bai's question surprised Huang Ji'an and Zhao Pu.
"The rivers and lakes that the prince mentioned are very broad. There are rivers and lakes in all walks of life. I don't know which one you are talking about?" Huang Ji'an asked back.
"It's the rivers and lakes of reckless heroes." Shen Bai said bluntly.
Huang Ji'an nodded: "This kind of rivers and lakes are very strange and mysterious. There are also big schools, big martial arts halls, and even regional martial arts families. There are also many people who have been trained, such as dart walkers, courtyard guards, etc. Most of them are purely chivalrous, but few are purely chivalrous. There is one extreme, that is, robbing houses, which is reckless, and those who target reckless, there are so-called heroes. They are famous for dealing with reckless, which is actually black in disguise. Just eat black."
Shen Bai nodded: "Cao Mang robs the people, and the Ranger robs Cao Mang."
"Yes, it can be said that this is the case, but in Bianjing, the forces are complicated, and the meaning of the world is messed up." Huang Ji'an continued.
"How?" Shen Bai signaled him to continue talking.
"The rangers in Bianjing, or gangsters, there are three kinds of people who can't be provoked. One is an official like the prince, who holds great power. Messing you is equivalent to opposing the court. The second is the sons of the gentry. , the same status as the prince before, most of these young masters like to go on horseback and fight eagles, and they are very difficult to deal with. The third is like me before, the family is very rich and can solve all problems with money." Huang Ji'an said nothing at all. Subtle, compared with himself and Shen Bai, vivid and simple.
Shen Bai nodded: "Then how many people like this do you know, maybe how many of these people have connections with officials?"
"What?" Huang Ji'an thought for a while, "I'm afraid there are quite a few people like Bianjing attached to their own forces. Just like my wharf, there are the Bianshui Gang, the Yellow River Gang, and the Zhuyi Gang."
"Bamboo Clothes Gang?" Shen Bai asked puzzled.
"They are all made up of coolies, and most of them wear bamboo clothes."
"Why did the young master suddenly ask this?" Zhao Pu asked curiously.
"I want to organize a group of heroes to be used as assassins, and arrange such a team in the army to assassinate important figures in the enemy army."
"Assassination?" Huang Ji'an was a little surprised when he heard that, but he didn't dare to speak nonsense. As the county king, Shen Bai would be criticized for recruiting powerful people.
"I'm also going to visit some places secretly, and I need a large number of experts to guard the safety." Shen Bai didn't say his destination, but he expressed his desire for Jianghu masters.
"It's no wonder that people in the world say that King Shen's war was unexpected, and he really deserves his reputation. I will definitely pay attention to this when I go back." Huang Ji'an said flatteringly.
"Compared to this, I still need the help of Mr. Huang's contacts." After Shen Bai finished speaking, he whispered next to him: "Find someone to keep an eye on Gu Changyong for me, and find out his flaws."
Huang Ji'an glanced at him and nodded knowingly.
When Huang Ji'an left, Zhao Pu went out to see him off.
Shen Bai sat in the study and drank some tea, Zhao Pu hurried back.
"Master, I know a lot of martial arts heroes you mentioned just now." Zhao Pu said to Shen Bai.
"Oh? Manager Zhao actually knows this passer-by?" Shen Bai was a little surprised.
Zhao Pu blushed rarely and said: "When I was young, I used to think that reading thousands of books is worse than traveling thousands of miles, so I wanted to go out and have a look, so I went out to run Shang for a while, and then I met a few brothers."
"Oh? What are they for?"
"They used to be the bodyguards of the army head on the Yangtze River, and later became bandits because they offended people. They have been in touch with me since then, and they survived by collecting road money near the official road." Zhao Pu explained.
"Hasn't he been surrounded by officers and soldiers?" Shen Bai thought about the way people robbed him at that time, wondering if it was the legendary slogan 'I opened this mountain, I planted this tree'.
"They have been besieged several times, but because they are surrounded by big rivers and lakes, it is not easy to be besieged. They have some capital and go outside to do business, specializing in goods. Recently, they are all in Bianjing."
"Shipping?" Shen Bai didn't know much about this word.
"The goods from our place can be transported to the middle of Shu and farther to the southwest to earn huge profits. However, the mountain roads are rugged, there are no official roads, and there are many bandits and tribes along the way. people." Zhao Pu said in detail.
Shen Bai nodded: "What kind of goods here used to be easier to sell?"
"Brick tea and salt are the best currency. It is even worse to bring porcelain and cloth, but those things are too big to carry."
"Brick tea!" Shen Bai thought for a while, signaled that he understood, and asked him to invite Huang Liuqi to come over.
Not long after Huang Liuqi arrived home, he chatted with his son Huang Ji'an for a while, and Shen Bai invited him again.
"I'll go with my father, I see what King Shen is planning, I can go and learn." Huang Ji'an said.
Huang Liuqi thought about it and nodded.
Anyway, whether the Huang family wants to or not, he and Shen Bai are already on the same boat, this political path has been doomed from the very beginning.
When he arrived at Shen's residence and went to Qingsi Hall, Shen Bai was not surprised that their father and son came together.
"Wan Jinhou, please sit down." Shen Bai stood up and responded.
Huang Liuqi smiled politely, sat down and looked at Shen Bai: "Is there something urgent for your lord?"
"I want to ask you about the brick tea business." Shen Bai said directly.
"Oh!" Huang Liuqi exclaimed, "Why are you and the emperor interested in this?"
"When did the emperor ask?"
"Let's think about it, it seems to be when you were in Yunzhou years ago, yes, it was years ago." Huang Liuqi said with certainty.
"So where do most of the brick tea in our country come from?"
"Southwest!" Huang Liuqi said: "There are more three prefectures in Southwest China. The emperor also asked about the merchants. There are about ten brick tea merchants who are the largest and control the market. The emperor also asked me to sort out the list in detail. he."
Shen Bai nodded: "That's fine."
Huang Liuqi asked tentatively: "It is true that Saibei relies on brick tea for survival, but if the tea market is not opened, the fight will be even worse, right?"
Shen Bai thought for a while: "How is tea traded now?"
"Go to Tubo, Dali, and the Yellow-headed Uighur, etc." Huang Liuqi said.
"Is there no deal with Dangxiang and Khitan?"
"It's long gone. The Jurchen is a little bit, and the Khitan people have snatched a lot from the Jurchen."
"Oh!" Shen Bai leaned down: "Can you secretly control a part of the tea market in Bianjing, and trade with my people in private through you?"
Huang Liuqi looked at the door, and replied in a low voice: "There is nothing I can't do in Bianjing's business."
"Okay, I will arrange for Manager Zhao to connect with Young Master Ling." Shen Bai said gratefully.
"If the lord is short of money, it's okay. If you have more, you just need to ask for a million and 80, and I'll give it to you." The good man Huang Liuqi said as a backer.
Shen Bai was very grateful: "I don't lack money, but I need to establish trade with the frontier to find friends."
"A person like Pu Zhong?" Huang Liuqi said with great interest.
"Ok!"
"The prince still needs to take care of me if he has business. I got a lot of high-quality century-old ginseng from Pu Zhong, as well as a lot of good leather medicinal materials. I really made a fortune."
"I have no intention of doing business, and if I want to avoid suspicion, I must rely on the Huang family."
Huang Liuqi nodded: "I know, I know, the prince just asks for money, and my Huang family's is the prince's."
"Thank you!" Shen Bai clasped fists with him and Huang Ji'an in thanks.
"What's the matter?" Shen Bai looked behind him, he wouldn't be surprised if Yu Wentuo was standing behind at this time, because the expressions of these people in the hall were too rich.
"I said Lord Shen, please sit down and talk about the matter between you and the emperor!" Wan Jinhou looked at him, it was 'you' and 'you' again, his urgent tone made Shen Bai want to laugh.
"What's the matter with me and the emperor?" Shen Bai sat down, took a sip of Zihuan's tea.
An Guogong looked at Shen Bai: "You and the emperor have reconciled?"
"Pfft!" Shen Bai spit out tea, looked at An Guogong: "Reconcile with the emperor, who is qualified to reconcile with the emperor?"
"No, I am." An Guogong thought for a while and didn't know what to say.
