Tao Yuanming calmed down his mood, took a sip of wine to calm himself down, then looked directly at Liu Tingyun, gritting his teeth: "You are so brave, you dare to come here, what are you doing?"
Liu Tingyun smiled slightly: "I returned to Jiankang a few days ago, even half a day before Liu Yu came back. If you didn't just want to reach an agreement with Xie Hun and the others, leave me alone and go find them by yourself. We
Maybe we can already discuss how to deal with the next thing. I have been waiting for you at the headquarters of Black Hand Qiankun for a long time."
Tao Yuanming shook his head: "You can't blame me. How did I know when you came to Jiankang? What's more, at that time I had to rush about the credential of Hou Qin, and I couldn't waste a moment. I still wanted to find Xie Hun and them at that time.
We are building a bridge through Meng Chang and Xu Xianzhi."
Liu Tingyun said coldly: "Is it really through them?"
Meng Chang was a little surprised: "Yuanming did contact Xie Hun and the others through the two of us. Why, does he have other friends in Jiankang City?"
Liu Tingyun raised her beautiful eyebrows slightly, then smiled and shook her head: "As an old Jingzhou man, what kind of friends can he have in this city? However, he also worshiped Wang Xun back then. I wonder if
Besides Hui Ye and Yin Zhongkan, do you have some old friends from the same family?"
Meng Chang nodded: "Those should be just casual acquaintances. Even if there are some friends, it is impossible for us to have a relationship like ours. Yuanming, you have to know that Tingyun can only come into contact with small and medium-sized aristocratic families. There are many
They are just wealthy landowners in Wu. If they want to get in touch with the upper class families, just relying on the title of Mrs. Liu Yi is not enough, because Liu Yi has been in charge of military affairs for a long time. In Yuzhou, he may be able to dominate the sky with one hand, but here in Jiankang City
Among them, it is not enough to make a first-class family look at it differently."
Tao Yuanming frowned: "Didn't Liu Yi have many underground industries that he cooperated with aristocratic families? Didn't Liu Yi also have an alliance with Xie, Xi Sengshi and others already?"
Liu Tingyun smiled and shook her head: "It's not called an alliance, it's just about getting what each other needs. When Liu Yi goes to war or forms an army, he needs Xie Hun and Xi Sengshi's help and asks them to provide military supplies and food in return.
They just want to take their nephews out to perform meritorious service and obtain a title. This is similar to Liu Yu’s deal with other major families. Can you say that all the aristocratic families in the city belong to Liu Yu?”
Tao Yuanming looked at Meng Chang and said in a deep voice: "But you are just an outsider, and you are not from a top aristocratic family. How do you get these aristocratic families to listen to you?"
Meng Chang laughed: "Don't forget, before I became a minister, and since the success of Jianyi, for six years, my identity was Danyang Yin."
Tao Yuanming suddenly realized: "I also forgot about this. The parent official of Jiankang City is actually you. Many children of aristocratic families have done illegal things, so they have to rely on you to make big things easy and be a smooth favor."
Meng Chang nodded: "The reason why Wang Guobao came to power back then was also because of Danyang Yin. When the family was in the world, they were not too interested in who was in charge of the army, but they paid special attention to the official position of Danyang Yin.
If you want to attack other families, want to protect the children of your own family, or even use this kind of light punishment or heavy punishment as an adjustment to other branches within the family, or to adjust the relationship with other families, you all rely on this.
Danyang Yin."
"In addition, some of the shady illegal industries that the family operates secretly, such as gambling houses and brothels, will always involve some illegal things. Once they are discovered, I have the final say on how to deal with them. Yuan Ming
, you said I have such power, what will these families do to me?"
Tao Yuanming gritted his teeth and looked at Liu Tingyun: "So, Sister Tingyun, you are playing this kind of middleman role, right? Our Meng Danyang is unlikely to deal directly with these aristocratic families. If Liu Yu finds out in this way, then he will
Chengdu is a corrupt official, but if you, the eldest sister, are the intermediary, intercessor, or even find someone to take the blame, it will be logical. He does not bend the law for personal gain, and everything he does seems to be fair and selfless, and you
Here, various methods are used to make people blame themselves. They only threaten and never ask the main culprits, so that the young masters of the aristocratic families can avoid jail, and those illegally operated industries have the opportunity to transfer their industries or make false accounts. Really
It’s a perfect match.”
Liu Tingyun smiled slightly: "Meng Danyang is a powerful dragon from outside after all, and he doesn't know how to deal with the local snakes in Jiankang City. Although Liu Yi runs industries here, they are shady underground industries after all. These previous ones
The industry is only a small one. It was only after Jianyi that I had the opportunity to cooperate with big families to run gambling houses, wine shops, brothels and other core industries that make money quickly. They all need me to take care of the business in Jiankang City.
and power.”
Tao Yuanming said in a deep voice: "No wonder, no wonder Meng Chang also formed an alliance with you early. In addition to your two families, I'm afraid people like Zhuge Changmin and Wei Shunzhi are also members of your community."
Meng Chang nodded: "Few people in the Beifu Army want to fight for the fate of ordinary people like Liu Yu. They are all for their own wealth. According to Liu Yu's rules, if you give the rich to the rich, then the rich will not be so
Well, if you want to get rich in Jin Dynasty, the best way is to have some quick money-making industries in Jiankang, and the second is to run a manor in Wudi. Both of these two things Liu Yu is not willing to do, but he is from a wealthy family.
It is difficult for outsiders to get involved in the foundation that has existed for hundreds of years. Therefore, the secret exchanges and relationships between Tingyun and I existed before Jianyi. Even some of Xile’s properties here were in my name, through Tingyun’s secret
Arranged. However, the earliest contact between me and Tingyun was through Zhuge Changmin."
Tao Yuanming looked at Liu Tingyun: "Then why didn't you cooperate deeply with Zhuge Changmin and push Zhuge Changmin to the position of prime minister with great power?"
Liu Tingyun laughed: "Because Brother Changmin is too greedy. If you give him the position of county guard, he would like all the benefits of the county to be taken by his family. You should not have close friendship with such a person. He is truly qualified to cooperate with me."
A person must want power in his heart, but in order to win people's hearts and establish his own power, he also needs some industries as a source of income, such as Meng Chang, such as Liu Yi, these people are my real backers, Liu Tingyun."
Tao Yuanming sighed: "I didn't expect that you, Liu Tingyun, who was Mrs. Huanxuan at the time and could be said to be the future queen, actually wanted to make many arrangements outside and secretly formed alliances with the heroes of the world. Everyone in the world said that you disliked the smell of warriors' sweat and did not want to get close to them.
, but they don’t know that this is just a disguise for you to be close to them.”
