I tried my best to help Zulong, and finally got my wife

"My next Zhang He, I met Master Ling Yin, and Master Ling Yin's complexion is ruddy. It seems that there is a happy event at home!"

"Zhang Shangqing was able to come to the humble abode in person and make the humble abode luxuriant. She is really lucky for three lives. Please fast forward..."

Zhang He bowed and bowed, and walked in first.

After a few people entered Li Yuan's mansion, Li Yuan immediately dismissed the servants at home and welcomed Zhang He to his study.

Zhang He asked Black and White Xuanjian to wait outside, and followed Li Yuan into the study alone.

Li Yuan has gray temples and is about 50 years old, but his complexion is ruddy, his spirit is radiant, his eyes are piercing, and he looks very shrewd.

At first glance, it is that kind of treacherous appearance.

After the two sat down, Zhang He said directly: "I want to meet the King of Chu alone. I don't know if Ling Yin can do it?"

Li Yuan smiled and said: "As long as Zhang Shangqing tells the reason for meeting the King of Chu, I will naturally be able to do it."

"I can help Master Ling Yin regain control of the entire Chu Kingdom, and control the private armies of the seven major clans and the major clans in the hands of Ling Yin and the king of Chu, so that he will no longer be restricted by the seven major clans."

Li Yuan's heart tightened. This is exactly what he dreamed of. It is also the power that the King of Chu dreamed of. It is true that he is Ling Yin, but he does not have military power in his hands. If he is not in charge of the whole country, he is the most pitiful.

He had seen all the faces of the seven princely clans, even the Xiong clan, it was not the king who had the final say, but that old and immortal Xiong Ying.

To put it bluntly, it is not an exaggeration to say that he and the king of Chu are puppets.

"When Zhang Shangqing said this, wouldn't I be afraid that the old man would tell the Seventh Duke and the Royal Family Xiong Ying? Said that you are alienating the relationship between the King and the Seventh Duke?"

Zhang He laughed loudly, and said with a smile: "Lord Ling Yin is really a humorous person, if your old man exposes me, he won't let me enter your mansion."

"I, Zhang He, will do what I say. As long as you and the king of Chu agree, we will cooperate internally and externally to clean up the seven princes one by one, and take over the power one by one..."

"At that time, you old man will be able to cover the sky with one hand, and that will be the real Ling Yin!"

Li Yuan's face was full of smiles, and he asked lightly: "I don't know, what price does Zhang Shangqing need to help the old man and King Chu?"

Zhang He pondered for a moment, then said with a smile, "If I said that I don't want anything, I just want to help Ling Yin and the king of Chu to gain power, you wouldn't believe me..."

Chapter 259 Zhang He deceived the King of Chu, preparing to disintegrate Chu from within

"I, Zhang Heming, don't talk dark words. I'm a businessman, and businessmen value profits. I want to open shops and build various workshops in various parts of Chu State."

"You also know that I, Zhang He, have made great contributions to the state of Qin, expelling the Xiongnu, Han, Zhao, Wei, and even the Three Kingdoms. Do you think this is a big contribution? The King of Qin will let me live well?"

"Hmph, in history, Lord Shang devoted his entire life to the strength of the Qin State, but in the end he ended up being torn apart by five horses. Lord Wu'an Bai Qi laid down half of the country for the Qin State, but in the end he could not escape death. To be honest, I am afraid... "

"So, after the Qin army destroyed Wei, they assembled an army of 30. The king of Qin wanted to take down the state of Chu and destroy it in one fell swoop. The two strongly advised Qin Wang Yingzheng to suspend the plan to attack Chu in the name of autumn harvest, so I went south to negotiate with Chu."

After listening to Zhang He's situation, Li Yuan nodded at the same time. Zhang He has made too many contributions. No matter which king, he would not let a person with such a great contribution live by his side.

What's more, Zhang He is still so young, and there are ministers such as Dunwei and Yao Jia among the top ministers of the Qin State to support him. If there is a rebellion, the Ying family will have to change their names and surnames.

Everyone should remember that the Tian family took over Qi, and it is even more impossible for Qin Wang Yingzheng to forget.

Li Yuan sighed, looking at Zhang He who was so magnificent in front of outsiders, he didn't expect to be in such a difficult situation!

Hey, every family has its own hard-to-sing scriptures.

"Zhang Shangqing, don't worry about this matter. Don't talk about doing business in Chu, as long as you regain the military and financial power, so what if you are made the emperor of a place?"

Zhang He got up, bowed and bowed, and thanked him sincerely: "I hope Lord Ling Yin will support me. If Qin Guo can't get along, I hope Lord Ling Yin will not expel me!"

Li Yuan stood up and said, "How come, this old man is not that kind of person."

But he was thinking in his heart, when he gets the power, I will kill Zhang He, all of you.

A person like you, who made great achievements in Qin State, will be the same when he comes to Chu State. At that time, he may be the enemy of this old man.

Just like that Sun Bin, when he was in Wei State, made great contributions to Wei State, but was later expelled to Qi State, his legs were broken, so he played Wei State to death.

"The old man will go to the palace to meet the king and arrange a time for the king to meet with Shangqing to discuss important matters."

"Waiting for good news!"

Then Zhang He said: "Lord Ling Yin, don't forget, he slapped the Sun's family hard for me. That Sun Cheng was really hateful. He scolded me face to face last night. If it wasn't for Lord Ling Yin's help, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to step down." .”

Li Yuan smiled and said, "Then the partner should give me the Li family?"

"Of course!"

Zhang He took out the bamboo slips from his sleeve. This is a volume of cooperation documents, which is equivalent to a contract.

Once signed, in which country it is signed, it will be protected by the laws of that country, and it has legal effect.

Li Yuan took the bamboo slips happily, and smiled after reading it: "Zhang Shangqing, don't worry..."

Zhang He came out of Li Yuan's mansion, looked at the sky, and burst out laughing three times. Li Yuan, an existence not inferior to Guo Kai, should be attributed to the fifth famous general in the Warring States Period.

The first credit for destroying Chu should belong to Li Yuan.

Zhang He returned to the inn, but saw a dozen vicious old men.

Xiong Ying was furious, stared at Zhang He angrily, and cursed: "You Zhang He is not a son of man."

Zhao Ran: "Zhang He, you are a villain."

Qu Xun was so angry that his face was flushed red, and his teeth were chattering. Today, more than a dozen people came to ask for the bill, all of which were consumed by Zhang He's people. In one day, their family paid two hundred gold.

This is still not the account of Zhang He's consumption in the brothel.

If you include the account of brothel consumption, it will be more than five hundred gold.

That damned Li Si promised the purple-clothed girl, the number one in the brothel, a hundred gold with his mouth. You people from Qin want money from the Qu family when you are looking for a woman, hateful, extremely hateful.

"Zhang He, this old man will never die with you, take your life!"

The old man Qu Huan was really pissed off. At first he thought that Zhang He was joking. After all, everyone is a high-class person who wants face. Unexpectedly, this Zhang He has no face at all.

Xu Chudian and Wei stood in front of Zhang He. When Qu Huan rushed up, he saw two menacing men, and stopped immediately, pointing at Zhang He and yelling again.

Zhang He said with a cold face and said with a smile: "My lord, it's hard to follow a man's word, but you said in front of everyone yesterday that your Qu family will pay for the consumption of our Qin army, and now you don't want to pay for it." Now, isn't this slapping yourself in the face?"

"Think about how brave and brave Mr. Qu Yuan is. The Qu family is a big family in the Chu state, with only one thousand gold. Why do you bother me in this public, like a shrew cursing the street?"

"I, Zhang He, really didn't expect that. I originally thought that since you said that, if I paid for it myself, wouldn't I look down on your Qu family? Unexpectedly, this..."

"Okay, since this is the case, how much money your Qu family has paid in total, I will make up for your Qu family. I, Zhang He, really don't lack money..."

Everyone: "..."

Qu Huo pointed at Zhang He, his chest heaved and heaved, finally he couldn't say a word, he fell to the ground viciously, and died of anger.

What is really black is called white by Zhang He, this **** is just like pretending to be a horse!

Qu Huan was carried down by the servants around him, and the others were also afraid of Zhang He's open mouth, they were all shameless people.

The old man Xiong Ying and Zhao Ran also kept their mouths shut, this loss was for nothing.

"You're a ruthless boy, let's wait and see!"

Xiong Ying said a word lightly, turned around and left, he was afraid that he would not be able to withstand Zhang He's verbal attack and would die.

Zhao Ran said coldly: "Zhang He, you shouldn't tarnish our reputation!"

Zhang He wondered, he didn't ruin everyone's reputation, he just didn't pay for the brothel for you, how did he ruin your reputation?

At this time, Xu Chu who was beside him said, "Young master, someone spread the news that they went to the brothel and didn't pay for it, and the whole city was full of uproar, everyone knows about it."

Zhang He: "..."

"Who did it?"

Xu Chu shook his head and said, "This subordinate doesn't know, Wei Liaozi should know, how about I ask?"

Zhang He already knew that this matter must be a good thing that Li Yuan did, and he even wanted to blackmail himself, but let himself and these bigwigs from Chu State take it first.

I actually underestimated this old guy Li Yuan, he has two brushes!

Chapter 260 Patriarch, my grandson’s Jiangdong Xuanwu Army is gone

Zhang He pondered for a long time, and asked, "How about I make up for everyone's consumption last night?"

Everyone: "..."

The 80-year-old Xiong Ying who turned around and walked staggered and almost fell to the ground. Fortunately, Xiong Ying was supported by someone beside him.

"Don't be a son of man, don't be a son of man!"

"Hurry up, hurry up, the biggest mistake this old man made in his life was running into this fellow."

Zhao Ran also turned around and left, and if he didn't leave, let alone whitewashing, I'm afraid it would become darker and darker.

Then, the people who came to question him left one by one.

Zhang He: "..."

At the Sun family in Shouchun of Chu State, the important people of the whole family gathered together at this moment, and everyone's face was not very good-looking, because the sky of the Sun family suddenly collapsed.

"Patriarch, the Zhao family and the Xiong family, they are not willing to lend us money anymore. They said that you annoyed Zhang He from Qin last night and caused heavy losses to their two families."

"Patriarch, those suppliers in Chudi suddenly stopped supplying our Sun family."

"Patriarch, a number of silk cloth shops suddenly appeared in the city, selling cloth at a price that is [-]% lower than ours, and people have gone to buy their cloth. No one cares about our cloth shop."

"Patriarch, our workshop in Dongcheng caught fire last night for no reason. A fire burned all the goods. Those goods were tributes to the royal family..."

One after another, bad news spread into Sun Cheng's ears. Sun Cheng only felt his head buzzing. Why did it happen?Why is this so?

"That damned Zhang He must be him, and he must be a spy of Qin State."

"Notify Wu Qian quickly and ask him to bring someone to Shouchun immediately. The old man is going to kill Zhang He from Qin today."

"Patriarch, please think again..."

"Prepare the horse, the old man personally went to the residence of the royal family Xiong Ying today to ask, what does he mean?"

"Second brother, go to Zhao's mansion and ask them. If they don't help, don't blame the Sun family for dying with them."

After Sun Cheng finished speaking, he looked up to the sky and sighed, his whole body was trembling with anger. In order to test Zhang He, Xiong Ying and Zhao Ran used his Sun family as a gun,

In addition to the royal family in the Chu Kingdom, among the seven major princely families, their grandson family is the fifth largest family in the Chu Kingdom in terms of financial resources and power in the court.

The main reason why their family can rank so high is silk.

Their family controls the silk from Jingchu, Wuyue and other places. After weaving beautiful brocades, they send them to the six countries and sell them to the nobles and even the royal families of the six countries.

But from last year to this year, Qin, the leader of the six countries, launched a foreign invasion war, first destroying South Korea, and making them lose the huge sales land of Korean nobles.

Later, the Huns were driven to the depths of the desert by the Qin and Zhao countries, and their family could no longer contact the merchants who went to the Huns.

Even if some merchants were willing to go to the depths of the desert, they were unwilling to ask for their silk. What they wanted were knives, guns, tea, wine, and sugar. These things were easy to carry and expensive, and the Huns preferred them.

It is said that when those merchants entered the depths of the grassland, if they encountered a large army of the Huns, they would exchange such things as tea, salt and sugar for precious furs and treasures.

If you encounter a small number of Huns, then I am sorry, kill them for more money, or directly bring the Huns back to the Central Plains, and sell them to some local big families as slaves at a high price.

This year, the State of Qin destroyed the State of Zhao, and not long ago, the State of Wei, which made their family lose two more customers.

The business has shrunk one after another, and their Sun family can only rely on the business of Yan and Qi to live.

Inside the state of Chu... Hey, damn it, don’t mention it, because their family is entrusted by the king of Chu and has their own fiefdom, so they have to pay tribute to the best silk cloth to the king all the year round.

A month or two of profit is gone with one tribute.

The most hateful thing is that they have to flatter the Jing, Qu, and Zhao families and give them some good silk every year.

Business is becoming more and more difficult. Their fiefdom is in the area of ​​Gusu, the old land of Wu State. Gusu City is the most important place for their Wu family. They raise an army of [-] and guard the southeast gate of Chu State.

In the land of Wuyue, not all Baiyue people are obedient. Those savages cannot be tamed at all. They can only be safe if they are tied up with ropes.

Their Sun family, in the land of Baiyue, has small-scale battles all year round, which adds fuel to the fire of their Sun family, but they have also gained a lot of benefits from the land of Baiyue. The Baiyue people captured, All were sold to other families as slaves.

The whole family desperately needs cash flow, but the family can't afford the money, and the Qin army in the north is eyeing the north of the Wuyue land, and they have to defend the Qin army with all their strength.

"Brother, don't we still have the big order from the Qin people? As long as we hand over the goods to the Qin merchants, we can overcome this difficulty." Sun Bing, Sun Cheng's second brother, said.

Sun Cheng patted his forehead. What happened just now made him so angry that he forgot such an important matter.

Some time ago, they paid a huge price to open up channels for merchants from Qin, and finally negotiated a big deal with a big merchant from Qin.

Because the goods from the Sun family were cheap, only [-]% of the price of silk in Sichuan and Shu, the businessman from Daqin asked for five thousand gold in one go.

However, their Sun family had difficulty in cash flow before and did not produce a large amount of silk, but this time after the Qin merchant took the first batch of goods, he left [-] gold as a deposit for the next time.

The businessman of Qin State said that Qin State occupied Han, Zhao, and Wei, and now the court urgently needs a large amount of silk cloth, to reward those soldiers who have done meritorious service, and reward those nobles who surrendered.
