All Hail Cousin Brother

Huang Wenwen walked into the hall, bowed his body to the old man, and bowed deeply: "Huang is here on behalf of His Royal Highness, as well as half a million lieutenants in the army, and thousands of Li people in the north, thank you for the benevolence and righteousness of the mansion."

After that, Huang Wenxian took Xie Xun to visit Ye Hanxiao, the state capital.

Ye Xiaoci looked at forty years old and had a beautiful beard. Compared with the average middle-aged scribe, he was taller and stronger, but his temperament was restrained and refined.

At this moment, he was playing chess with his staff, and the servant in front of him came to report.

Ye Xiaoci frowned.

The Xie Mansion has a wide range of operations and complex industries, almost involving most of the business of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and controlling half of the shipping of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

For the other half of the shipping, Xie’s house is not incapable, but Xie’s house has a good relationship and often leaves room for action. Xie’s house has great influence on the southeast coast and even in the Jianghuai area. potential.

The "business gang" in the north is as fierce as a tiger, but they are entrenched in the northwest. Even if they are greedy for the rich and prosperous in the south, they never dare to go beyond the thunderous pool and touch the fat that belongs to the south.

The Xie Mansion moved to the north. On the surface, it seemed like a pebble thrown into the lake, unable to stir up any waves, but the calm bottom of the lake concealed unknown turbulence.

From a family business perspective, the Xie Mansion has threatened the interests of most of the gentry in the north.

Even if the "business gangs" in the north are jointly suppressed, the Xie Mansion will not be controlled by others. The sea close to the city is the capital for the Xie Mansion to confront the gentry.

The three provinces of Liaodong are military towns. Earlier, because of the case of King Li of Zhou, the gentry of the three provinces of Liaodong bore the brunt of the situation.

The area of ​​Liaodong is the territory of King Wumu, and the "Shanggang" is weak, and it is impossible to restrain Xie's house by sea.

The Shaoyi County Lord behind the Xie Mansion, and the Prince Wu Mu Mansion also constrained the gentry's hands and feet, making them throw the rat's arms, and no one dared to do it lightly until it was necessary to form a deadly revenge.

"This day, it's about to change." Ye Xiaoci lost his interest in playing chess, and threw the white stone in his hand back to the chess set.

The staff was a little surprised: "Why did your lord say this?"

Ye Xiaoci said meaningfully: "Xie's house has lived in Quanzhou for generations, and the family's roots are also in the Jianghuai and southeastern coastal areas. Why should you give up the business for many generations?"

The staff subconsciously said: "In the case of King Zhou Li, in order to quell the wrath of the imperial court, the gentry pushed a lot of dead ghosts to block the sword, which is already a serious injury to their vitality. King Dingbei, King Wumu Dingbei took the opportunity to further control the situation in the northern border, and in the battle with the gentry, they had the upper hand, but King Wumu Dingbei did not pursue the victory, but kept silent and remained silent. Waiting for the opportunity, according to the old man, it is the Qianlong not to use."

Hidden dragon means "hidden". This Yao (yao, sound shake) is at the bottom and is called "Jiu Jiu". The dragon lurks in the abyss, and the yang is hidden in the depths. It should be patient and stand by. .

Ye Xiaoci smiled without saying a word. Golden scales are not objects in the pool, they turn into dragons when they meet the situation. He has never underestimated Yin Huaixi.

This situation is the situation of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

Seeing that he did not refute, the staff continued: "Then, the gentry united and pulled one into the whole body, and the struggle between the two sides also reached a deadlock. As mentioned in "Warring States Policy Qin Ce II", the two tigers fought for each other. The small ones will die, the big ones will be injured, and it is also in response to the hexagram that Qianlong should not use. It can be seen that the king of Wumu Dingbei has a long-term vision, and he has long been aware of it. The Xie House headed by the Lord."

Ye Xiaoci smiled: "The first hexagram of the sixty-four hexagrams of the Book of Changes is the Qian hexagram, named [Qianweitian], the hexagram is like the upper part and the lower part, and there are six lines of speech, do not use the Qianlong, the line is the first, it is Yang Under the next, Longxia is hidden, and the potential is not clear, so to describe Yin Huaixi," he smiled, and his voice stopped, and then his voice changed: "It is also appropriate."

There was a terrifying wave in the staff's heart, but there was nothing on their faces: "Xie's house climbed up to King Wu Mu Dingbei, and is protected by him, and it should also be used for it. The Yu clan and even the royalists behind Shaoyi County Master, The gentry has been restrained, making the gentry dare not act rashly, and the huge channels and connections behind the Xie Mansion are also important pawns in restraining the tyrants. In this way, the northern border has become a smoke field for the business gentry, the battle between the business gentry, the relationship the overall situation of the North."

Xie's family moved to the north, and the world was not surprised except for one or two sighs.

The Xie Mansion's operations in the Huaijiang River and the southeastern coastal areas have reached its peak. If you want to further expand the family business and accumulate money, you need to cling to more powerful dignitaries.

The northern border is vast and rich in resources, and there are two commercial routes. In the early years, Emperor Gaozu issued the national policy of strengthening borders and protecting foreign countries. All the merchants all over the world flocked to it. , At the moment when the gentry is weak, it is only natural for the Xie Mansion to come to the north to develop.

The world did not doubt anything.

Guessing the key point, the staff finally understood why Lord Ye said that the sky in the north is about to change.

Ye Xiaoci played with his taste: "Don't use Qianlong, you will see the dragon in the field and see Mr. Li. This hexagram is in the second, also known as the nine-two. Yu Ye, standing in front of high-ranking people," he gave a high five, playing with his taste: "It's also a hexagram, but it changes from Kun to dry, dry to sky, Kun to earth, dry male and Kun female, Qian and Kun are in harmony, so dry dragon is in the sky, Kunde carries the dragon, the sky rides the earth, and there is no disadvantage."

From the small to the big, there are other secrets behind the fact that Xie Mansion came to the North.

The aide hid the horror in his heart.

"Yesterday afternoon, Huang Wenwen came to look for me, and brought me to the outside of Longcheng City. A large number of refugees gathered. The temperature is rising now, and there are fears that there will be ten disasters and nine plagues, and there will be outbreaks of epidemics. Let the government take precautions early," Ye Xiaoci got up and straightened He glanced at his clothes: "Xie Fu will use money to clear the way for King Wu Mu, and if you think about it, you can also solve problems for this official."

The aides understood, looking at how much the Xie Mansion could worry about for Lord Ye, they could basically foresee the outcome of this battle between the businessmen and the gentry.

Before leaving, Ye Xiaoci sighed: "The gentry in the north is really too outrageous, isn't it bad to be a man, you have to be the Pixiu who has a mouth but no anus, swallows everything without venting, eats all over the place, but can't get in. ? If Pixiu pays money again, it is also a beast, and someone should stand up and uphold this benevolence and righteousness."

Whether it is to sacrifice wealth to save life, or to have wealth for life, it depends only on what Xie Fu will do.

Ye Xiaoci went to the living room.

After a while, the housekeeper led Huang Wenwen and Xie Xun into the living room.

The original is also a private visit, the etiquette is enough, and there is no need to kneel as an official.
