Hello Chang’an

Chapter 495: Making a fortune in the middle way before starting a business

Facing the gazes of Luo Guanlin and Wang Yue, Yao Ran said: "My lord, it is true that you have invested seven million yuan in the northern border."

There was a moment of silence in the study, and Luo Ze, who was helping Yao Ran, was also stunned.

Luo Guanlin frowned quickly and asked, "Where does such a number come from?"

Yao Ran only said: "It is your private property."

As Chang Suining's well-deserved right-hand man in the governor's office, Yao Ran also handled many things under the surface for Chang Suining. Chang Suining gave her a lot of power to do things conveniently, so Yao Ran also met Meng Lie - in When introducing Meng Lie to Yao Ran, Chang Suining introduced Meng Lie very concisely and clearly: "This is Meng Dong's family. When I am away, if the private inventory of the governor's office is insufficient, just look for him." 】

At that time, Yao Ran looked at Meng Lie and felt like a walking bank.

Therefore, Yao Ran is quite aware of his current wealth.

As for the specific extent of wealth and where this wealth originated, it is unknown.

"Where did this private property come from?" Wang Yue's face was filled with confusion.

Yao Ran shook his head slightly: "This is your lord's private matter, and I don't know about it either."

Wang Yue's pupils trembled slightly. In other words... the rumored mystery about his life experience is very likely to be true?

What’s more…

"So, your previous poverty was just a pretense..." Wang Yue said, and quickly changed his words: "Is it just a show?"

"It was not a show before." Yao Ran explained: "As far as I know, your private property only appeared later, not at the beginning."

Wang Yue understood - a windfall from heaven.

The adults quietly fulfilled the lifelong dream of most people!

Wang Yue couldn't help but sigh: "Your Excellency, you have made a fortune in the middle way before starting a business..."

This sudden realization made Wang Yue sigh with emotion, but also felt that he felt much more at ease -

Jiangdu Governor's Office has always paid out his salary on time. It is said that most of it is advanced from the governor's private treasury. He is both happy and guilty about this. Every time he receives his salary, he will feel a double unbearable feeling in his heart - please accept it, sir. I can't bear it for my own treasury; if I don't take it, I can't bear it for my own purse.

But now that he is better, when he receives his salary again, he can feel free of burdens!

Wang Yue breathed a long sigh of relief in his heart - this can be regarded as the most intuitive change in the mentality of this little person after learning that the adult made a fortune.

After lamenting this matter in his heart, Wang Yuecai continued to explore with surprise: "I look at the appearance of your master, so I am destined not to have an ordinary background..."

It should be noted that it is not 700 guan, nor 70,000 guan, but 7 million guan... He can easily take out a family fortune of 7 million guan, pick up Dasheng and shake it, and shake out a few that meet the conditions. ?

Luo Guanlin said nothing, but he had reservations about his life experience.

Seven million guan is indeed a huge amount, but there were friends who refused to disclose their identities before and they often sent millions of guan to his family... If there were more friends like this, his family's private treasury would be completely destroyed. It is not impossible to fill it up completely.

Although such a wealthy scapegoat has no good friends, his family is indeed very good at coaxing...or manipulating people's hearts.

However, although it is not known whether this theory of life experience is true or not, it has spread to such an extent and attracted such attention... If there is no instruction from Chang Sui Ning behind it, Luo Guanlin does not believe it.

Therefore, this is the public opinion that the adults in his family have deliberately promoted. As for the truth or falsehood... combined with her usual true and false behavior, it remains to be seen.

However, it is not difficult to imagine the purpose of her choice to do this...

It was not stated clearly, but such clues were thrown out, leading the world to speculate—

Historically, the most daring existence in the world originated from people's conjectures.

In this way, she is tantamount to telling the world that she, Chang Suining in Huainan Road, has soldiers in her hands and someone behind her. Anyone who wants to break up with her will naturally have to think twice.

But, is her intention... just that?

Luo Guanlin lowered his eyes and looked at the official document in front of him, but felt that the lines were winding into a road, and as he followed it, they all seemed to be leading in the same direction.

As dusk approached, Wang Yue and Luo Guanlin walked together on the way out of the study.

Wang Yue was still immersed in the mood of suddenly learning that his lord made a fortune in the middle way. After suppressing his emotions and imagination, Wang Yue said with a little worry: "This windfall, I hope it will not drown your lord's ambition." good."

Once people are too rich, it is often easy to lose ambition - of course, he has not had the opportunity to experience this feeling personally.

"What she wants is never money." Luo Guanlin said quietly: "Wealth is just a means for her to do things."

When she complained about poverty before, she was not worried about the amount of money itself, but because she had no money to do what she wanted to do.

"That's true!" Wang Yue suddenly smiled and continued chatting: "Most people in the world are for wealth. Those who are not for wealth are mostly for fame and power..."

Wang Yue said, straightening his short beard, and said: "But in my opinion, sir, it is not the latter. As you just said, wealth is just a means for adults to do things. In my opinion, reputation and power are the most important thing to adults." It’s also a means. Your Excellency is not someone who is obsessed with power—"

At this point, he said with emotion: "What you really want is for the people, for all peoples."

After hearing Wang Yue's words, Luo Guanlin looked forward: "But there are not many people like this in the world."

Wang Yue raised his eyebrows and laughed.

Luo Guanlin turned to look at him, frowned and asked, "What's worth laughing about?"

"Guan Lin." Wang Yue lowered his voice with a smile in his eyes: "You only said that there are few people in the world, but you didn't say that I am not such a person."

"..." Luo Guanlin turned back and continued walking forward without squinting.

But Wang Yue came up and asked in a low voice: "Guan Lin, aren't you leaving?"

Luo Guanlin asked his friend noncommittally: "...you were worried at first that she had rebellious intentions. If she really rebels, will you leave?"

At that time, Wang Wangshan was very worried that he would accidentally board a dangerous pirate ship -

Wang Yue thought about this and said with a smile: "I remember that you comforted me at that time, saying that you still have father and brother above me who can suppress her, so that I don't have to worry too much..."

When he said this, Luo Guanlin couldn't help but laugh.

Looking back at what he said in the past now, I find it really ridiculous. Where did he have the confidence to think that her father and brother could suppress her?

"It seems that at that time you were just looking at the mountain in the mist, and you just thought it was just a small hill..." Wang Yue said: "Who knows, it is actually a towering giant ridge on the top of the mountain."

Luo Guanlin did not deny this statement.

Wang Yue then smiled and shook his head, and replied belatedly: "I won't leave."

He said: "Nowadays, there are many wars in the world, but Jiangdu is the only one to see Qingming... You and I both know that this is not an accidental luck."

"The world is unpredictable. Since I entered Jiangdu, my thoughts have been changing all the time..." Wang Yue said with a decisive tone: "Today, I feel that the way you are doing is the right way in the world. There is no reason not to follow it. "Luo Guanlin: "Since ancient times, every supporter of the rebels has thought this way."

Wang Yueqing hissed and turned to look at his friend: "Really? As a supporter of the anti-thieves, I am no more experienced than you. Don't try to trick me -"

"..." Luo Guanlin's eyes twitched.

Wang Yue laughed "ha".

Luo Guanlin also put up his hands and smiled silently, apparently relieved of the past.

Wang Yue waited for an opportunity and asked again: "So, are you leaving or not?"

"I won't leave for the time being." Luo Guanlin put his hands behind his back and walked, saying in a calm tone, "The poem has not been written yet."

Wang Yue asked hurriedly: "Want to write poetry again?"

Luo Guanlin said "hmm": "Entrusted by others."

This time Chang Suining personally rushed to the plague land, but Luo Guanlin disapproved and tried to persuade him.

But Chang Suining had made up his mind and said to him: "I want to go. If I don't go in person, how can Mr. Huihui really have something to say when he writes poems and praises me for this matter?" 】

Luo Guanlin looked a little confused: [When did someone say that he wanted to compose poetry? 】

Chang Sui Ning said: [I am about to ask your husband to compose a poem now - when I finish this matter, I hope that your husband will not hesitate to write a poem to promote my reputation. 】

He also made an unreasonable and shameless request very seriously: "If I contribute even two cents by then, I hope you can exaggerate it to ten points in your poem - but I wonder if you will find it difficult for me?" 】

This is a great success, fame and reputation written on the bright side, without any cover-up.

However, Luo Guanlin, who was most repulsive to such people, listened to this, but could not feel any disgust at all.

He thought that it was probably because of what Wang Yue said just now that the so-called reputation was just a means for her to act, and it was never her real intention.

"I don't know what's going on over there, sir..." At this point, Wang Yue showed a bit of worry on his face: "So many people have been infected by the plague... I think the situation must be extremely hectic."

Such a large-scale spread of plague is rare in history books.

"The doctors sent by the imperial court also went to Mianzhou to treat the people affected by the epidemic..." Luo Guanlin said: "This can be considered a good thing."

The doctors who came from the capital had been following the imperial envoy to stay near Yuezhou for a while, until news of Chang Sui Ning's move reached the capital. The sage weighed the matter and ordered the imperial envoy to take the doctors with him to Mianzhou to treat the people. —

Wang Yue sighed in a low voice: "My lord, this is equivalent to forcing the imperial court to treat these people..."

The news that his family had resettled people affected by the epidemic in Mianzhou had long spread. On the other hand, the imperial envoys and doctors sent by the imperial court had yet to take any action. And if they returned to Beijing, how would the imperial court deal with this matter?

Even though the emperor denied the poisoning, the voices of accountability from everywhere have not stopped, and Bian Chunliang even still used this to incite public sentiment...

Due to the situation, the emperor could only severely reprimand the army for its "ineffective resettlement of the people" and asked the imperial envoy to take the doctors to Mianzhou to treat the people.

As more and more people are taken in, Mianzhou is short of people. Chang Suining welcomes the arrival of these doctors - even if she is dissatisfied with the court, the safety of the people is more important. At this juncture, she has no reason It is useless to risk the lives of the people to argue with the imperial court on this matter.

Wang Yue said at this time: "Looking at the situation at this time, the court may want to confuse the truth..."

They all knew what the truth was and who was the initiator, but the court and the emperor were obviously determined to deny everything.

"But so many innocent people died..." Wang Yue sighed in disappointment and powerlessness, but after a moment, he said: "But I always feel that based on your temperament, you should not agree-"

He would not allow the court to confuse and expose this matter.

Luo Guanlin said with unclear meaning: "But that is not wise."

The imperial court wanted to cover up the matter simply to save public opinion and maintain the imperial court's shaky prestige. And if she insists on uncovering this matter, it will be equivalent to standing on the opposite side of the court and the emperor. If she is not careful, it can easily lead to real disaster.

In short, letting Chang Suining come forward to do this is really the last resort.

"I believe that you will not ignore it." Wang Yue said firmly: "And if it were you, you would definitely do it."

Luo Guanlin did not deny it.

Wang Yue smiled again: "So our Lord's behavior is actually very suitable for you. For this reason alone, you are reluctant to leave."

There was no sudden feeling of discovering the truth in Wang Yue's words. Instead, he seemed to have already seen through this.

Luo Guanlin realized something, turned around and frowned and asked: "...Since you have determined that I will not leave, why were you still counting down the days for me to leave yesterday?"

"I am doing this so that you can see your true feelings as soon as possible." Wang Yue looked well-intentioned, smiled and patted his friend's shoulder: "Stay well, the days when you and I will support each other are still to come."

Luo Guanlin glanced at him and walked away.

Wang Yue laughed and chased after him.

In fact, it wasn't long before he became convinced of his friend's thoughts - this certainty started from the poem signed by Qian Shen on the day of the sacrifice to the sea.

It was from that poem that Wang Yue glimpsed the change in his friend's mentality. The change could be described as earth-shaking.

Recently, Li Xian's mentality has been changing every day.

He led his army to camp outside Tanzhou for many days, but the situation inside Tanzhou City was not what he initially expected.

When Bian Chunliang withdrew from Yuezhou City that day, he ordered the infected soldiers and even his eldest son to clear the way for the army. He led the remaining army of less than 50,000 to break out. Although Bian Chunliang suffered serious losses along the way, it was not all bad for Bian Chunliang. Bright side-

Most of the troops that Bian Chunliang lost on the road were weak. In this way, it was equivalent to repeatedly screening out those suffering from the epidemic.

After Bian Chunliang entered Tanzhou, there were only more than 10,000 soldiers brought from Yuezhou left by his side. Soon after, Bian Chunliang made another cruel decision - he ordered all the soldiers who accompanied him from Yuezhou to be killed. In addition to the more than 100 outstanding generals among the more than 10,000 soldiers who fought their way out.

While beheading and burning the bodies of the soldiers, Bian Chunliang put on mourning clothes, drew his sword and cut off one of his own fingers, and swore to heaven that he would make the imperial court pay with blood.

He attributed this move to the imperial court's misconduct, and he did so to protect the people inside and outside Tanzhou from suffering from the plague.

Bian Chunliang set up an altar, knelt on it to pray for sin, and invited experts to save the souls of the dead.

This move spread and shocked the people inside and outside Tanzhou City. Immediately, many forces and people were disappointed with the court and took the initiative to turn to Bian Chunliang.

This was a situation that Li Xian never expected - the plague in Tanzhou City had been almost eliminated by Bian Chunliang by cutting off his own arm, but instead his army was burdened by this endless disease! Although due to proper prevention, the current fatality rate is not high, it is still not getting better. He heard from the military doctor that this disease was a new disease that evolved from the plague, and he needed to take good rest, so he had to be patient and take care of it. However, there has been a shortage of medicinal materials recently... He doesn't know how long he will be able to take care of it!

Listening to the news coming back from the outside every day, on this day, Li Xian could no longer sit still and forcibly recruited 50,000 troops from the army to capture Tanzhou City.

When Li Xian ordered his troops to leave the camp, there were soldiers in front of his tent shouting: "...there are assassins!"
