As night fell, a group of Huaixi nobles and nobles had just come out of the old man's village. They turned around and got together tacitly, and they all came to the outer house of Cao Zhen, the Marquis of Jingchuan.
Wine and meat were put on the table. During the day, when they were farming with the old man, these old killers were all with wilted heads and drooping heads. Their arms were sore or their backs were hurting. They were grinning and complaining, saying that farming was much harder than killing.
But now a group of old buddies are sitting together, having wine and meat, and they are immediately refreshed and talking louder than the other.
Dongguan Bo He Rong sat down with Cao Zhen and said with a bit of flattery, "You have to be sure of the emperor's pulse. In just a few words, you have given your son a promising future!"
After saying that, he smiled at everyone and said, "Transporting wood is just a superficial thing. In the words of those scholars who were plagued by the plague, it is using the road to conquer the country!"
Guo Ying, Marquis of Wuding, had read some books and laughed and scolded him, "That's a damn fake Taoist attack on Guo!"
"It's all the same!" He Rong said with a smile, "Anyway, he will be beaten as a puppy in the future." He said, shaking his head, "When we first founded the Ming Dynasty, we should take advantage of the fact that we old guys are young and strong.
, clean them up next to each other and kill them! If you don't bully others if you have strong soldiers and horses, then what's the use of strong soldiers and horses?"
"Isn't that scholar Liu Bowen making a lot of noise at that time? It's a shame to say that the emperor of the country uses virtue to convince people and his grandmother is a fool!" Hui Xian Bo Sangjing scolded, "But luckily we didn't fight. If our generation had to fight all the wars,
Well, how can our children and grandchildren find fame in the future!"
Then he looked at Cao Zhen and said, "Your Majesty obviously doesn't like the country of Burma. It could be as late as two years or as soon as a year and a half. By then, the vanguard to attack Burma must be someone who is proficient in geography and familiar with the customs. Brother Cao, don't you
He who showed his talent has arranged his son's future, Gao!"
Among the surviving nobles of Huaixi, Guo Ying is the oldest, and the one who can organize things the most is Cao Zhen. Now that all the Dukes of the country are dead, Cao Zhen has also come up from behind. Now sitting on the throne, he is taking the lead.
Big brother style.
"People, you have to look far away!" Cao Zhen said with a grin, "There are so many sons in the family, if you don't give them a future, what's the use of just giving money? Besides, if you don't let them all stand up, even if they are sitting on the Jinshan Mountain
If you can’t hold on, you will be defeated sooner or later!”
"Yes, yes, you are right!" Everyone praised him again and again, deeply agreeing with him.
Although they all came from humble backgrounds, one truth has emerged from the pile of dead people in recent years. If a martial artist has no sense of existence and stands aside, all the wealth and wealth in the sky will be just a cloud.
Guo Ying couldn't stand Cao Zhen's proud surrender, so he insulted him and said, "Ha, you really think highly of him, Old Cao, what's his future? What's the difference between money and career?"
Huixian Bo Sangjing was stunned when he heard this, "Qian Cheng? Where did the money come from?" As he said that, he thought about it and said, "There are some good things in Myanmar, but we can't steal them openly?"
"Either you have made a lot of achievements in your life, and you will still be a count when you die!" Guo Ying picked up a chicken head, bit off half of it, and said while eating, "Let me ask you, what kind of luck do you use to transport wood?"
"A boat?" Chongshan Marquis Li Xin said, "Fourth brother, that wood is valuable, but it all belongs to the emperor, who dares to touch it?"
"Get out of here!" Guo Ying scolded, "Are you even more of a fool? You can't even see the obvious?"
"Uh-huh!" Cao Zhen coughed twice and kicked Guo Ying under the table.
"You damn stepped on my foot!" Guo Ying scolded.
"Okay Fourth Brother, just say it!" Everyone was talking.
Guo Ying put down his wine glass and asked, "Do you use boats to transport wood?"
Everyone nodded.
"Who the hell dares to check the ship that transported wood to the emperor?" Guo Ying asked again.
Everyone's eyes suddenly lit up and they looked at Cao Zhen with penetrating eyes.
"It is true that Myanmar is poor, but we have all visited Yunnan. Is that place poor?" Guo Ying asked again.
Snapped!
Zhang Wen, the Marquis of Huining, slapped his thigh and said, "Entrain!"
Entrainment is a polite way of saying it, but to put it bluntly, it's smuggling.
Just imagine, the son of the Cao family was in charge of the fleet that transported teak to the emperor. When it set off from the Ming Dynasty, the fleet was filled with the products of the Ming Dynasty, even the most common, non-banned cotton, white paper, and tea.
Porcelain, sesame oil, silk, etc., they are all profitable.
Don’t even think about replacing the gold sands in Myanmar with medicinal materials, spices, gemstones and other items.
Moreover, this is a Cotai Strip that no one can find fault with. It is a Cotai Strip that allows people to smuggle money and make huge profits. It is also a Cotai Strip that collects money without fail and is the most trouble-free.
"I'm talking about Lao Cao!" He Rong glared and called Cao Zhen directly from eldest brother to Lao Cao, "You old boy are not honest. You don't want to think about your own brothers for doing this good thing?"
"He didn't even think about me!" Guo Ying added angrily.
"Everyone!" Cao Zhen saw that throwing stones in the toilet stirred up public excrement, and quickly waved his hands to comfort him, "What are you talking about? What do you mean I didn't think about you? Isn't there a trace of this? I just want to wait for my boy to pee there.
Once you know it, bring it to my brother and join him!"
"What do you think you are so anxious about? Can you believe me, Cao Zhen, as a person? Am I the kind of person who eats alone?"
Everyone nodded in unison, "Yes!"
Then a group of old killers began to criticize each other, saying that Cao Zhen was not particular about his work.
We have been old brothers for a lifetime, and if we have good things to hide, if we find a way to get rich, we don't take anyone with us and just run to our own homes. Is this worthy of a lifelong friendship?
At this time, Puding Marquis Chen Huan said, "Fourth brother, you are the most senior, please say something!"
Guo Ying raised his head and said, "Okay, don't bully Idiot Cao!" He said with a smile, "Brother, you have such a stupid brain, you can't think of anything like this. Who gave you the trick?"
"Isn't it Li Jinglong's bitch?" Li Xin scolded.
"No!" Cao Zhen was a little annoyed and said, "Didn't Brother Chun come to Beijing? I invited him to dinner yesterday and he reminded me about the teak wood!"
The Brother Chun he calls is Mu Chun.
"Hey, that guy looks so honest and honest, but he's also full of bad intentions!" Zhu Shou, the Marquis of Shuangyao, scolded.
"Just like his father, he can't get a fart out of his three sticks, but he is actually the most arrogant!" Zhang Yi, the Marquis of Heqing, said, "Wilted!"
Hearing this, Guo Ying laughed in his heart and said, "My father and son have been guarding Yunnan for two generations. They are as heartless as you. Can you control it?"
Suddenly, Zhu Shou asked again, "Then does that guy Mu Chun also want to take part?"
"No!" Cao Zhen shook his head, "I am a hereditary and irreplaceable prince, and he is the permanent ruler of Yunnan. How can I take this seriously?"
"Then what does he want?" Dongguan Bo He Rong asked puzzledly, "Looking at your seniority, is he trying to establish relations with you?"
"How stupid!" Guo Ying cursed in his heart and opened his mouth to say, "Now that the waterway has been opened, will Yunnan's soldiers not have to fight so hard when they attack Burma in the future? Will fewer people die?"
Everyone suddenly understood this. People who have been fighting all their lives understand this truth. If the enemy comes from one way, he will be killed, but if he comes from two ways, he will be blocked.
In fact, Guo Ying still had something to say in his heart. The reason why Muchun gave Cao Zhen the first-ever guidance was to put a shackle on the neck of Zhu Gaoxu, the general who ruled the country, to prevent him from being lawless.
You, Zhu Gaoxu, really made the Burmese people risk their lives to fight with you. If war breaks out on the border of the Ming Dynasty again, it’s not him, Mu Chun, who is suffering?
"To transport teak, it is estimated that the fleet will be indispensable. Not only do we need ships, but we also need people and soldiers, and we also need to build a seaport to transfer and garrison." Among the people, Yongping Hou Xie Cheng, who had been silent for a long time, said, "Just...
The son of Lao Cao’s family can’t stand this situation!”
He has always been an unassuming person, but his qualifications are no worse than Cao Zhen's. It can be said that since he followed the old man, he has been there in every battle. He has served as deputy under Xu Da and Chang Yuchun.
"Brother Xie is right!" Everyone nodded frequently and looked at Guo Ying, waiting for his decision.
