Chapter seven hundred and twentieth the cake
Yuan Shu's "sinister" intentions are no secret to smart people. Many people can see it, but they cannot refuse.
The aristocratic families have been working as wage earners for hundreds of years, and they finally have the opportunity to leave and become a local emperor on their own. Even if they lose all their money, they still want to try. Anyway, there is still a way out in the country.
Just like the Xun family, Xun You and others continued to work for Yuan Shu, while others went out to develop. After success, the Xun family became the masters of a country and even established an empire. When they failed, they retreated into hiding.
For aristocratic families, it is not easy to survive for a thousand years. Just like the Xun family, they made the right bet and disappeared quietly in the end. There are not many people who can "survive" for a thousand years like the Yang family.
.
You may perish if you go out to build a country, you may perish if you survive at home. The same is perish. Isn't it bad to perish just to be an emperor?
Yuan Shu's trick directly tied everyone to his chariot, but he didn't suffer a loss, but made a profit, and made the aristocratic families work for him willingly. This is the real profiteer.
The reason why Cheng Yu was so resentful was that he, like Xun, had seen through Yuan Shu's thoughts.
It sounds nice to say that one day we can counterattack and return to the Central Plains. But in fact, the possibility is slim. Even if we succeed, we don't know if it will be hundreds of years later. It is impossible for Cao Cao to return to the Han Dynasty as a master in his lifetime.
Xun and others knew it, and Cao Cao also knew it, but he had no choice. He could either die at home or go out and make a career as the leader of a party to fulfill his dream of conquering the West. He could only choose the latter. He even had to be willing to do so.
I am grateful to Yuan Shu for his acceptance.
Because he was a loser, what Yuan Shu did was to show him the greatest mercy and help.
The group of people had their own thoughts, and the carriage drove into An Ning City.
Today's Anding City can be said to be the second largest city in Yizhou, second only to Chengdu, and its tax revenue is no less than it.
No one could have imagined that this new city, which was built in less than a year, would turn into a golden mountain so quickly.
Just like a great man, Zhuge Liang casually drew a circle, and as a result, this city of wealth was built.
Listening to the constant shouting in his ears, Xun casually lifted the car curtain and looked at the merchants in various costumes hawking on the side of the road.
Although some of them were simply dressed, they were all neat and tidy. Xun could see a kind of excitement and recognition in the eyes of these people. Countless tribes and businessmen from various countries in the southwest gathered here to abide by the order of Chu.
"It's hard to imagine that this is a new city that was built less than a year ago," Xi Zhicai sighed.
The rise of a city takes not only hundreds of years, but at least ten years, right? The rise of Jinling in a short period of time is already shocking, but it is reasonable. After all, it is the "national capital" set by Yuan Shu.
”.
As for Anding City, there is nothing special about politics or strategy. It is located in a remote place with no danger to defend. The only advantage is that it is located on the border of Yizhou, and because the terrain is flatter than other places, it is easier to build roads.
But just relying on merchants and border trade, it only took a few months for this place to develop into the grand situation it is now.
"Is the role of merchants in the circulation of goods and wealth really so terrifying?" Cheng Yu murmured.
"Every bustle in the world is for profit, and all the hustle and bustle in the world is for profit." Xun said calmly: "As Yizhou's only foreign trade port, and the closest road to the southwest countries, this city has great advantages.
We are blessed by nature, and it is not an exaggeration to be able to develop to this point in a short period of time.”
"But this also shows the ability of Brother Zhongyu and Zhuge Kongming. It is not easy to keep this place so well-organized and allow businessmen from all over the world to live in peace and prosperity. It is no less prosperous than Chengdu!" Xi Zhicai sighed.
"Hmph, it's just coercion and inducement, why is it so difficult?" Cheng Yu, who was still feeling resentful after hearing Xi Zhicai boast about these two people, snorted coldly.
"When hundreds of countries come to Korea, this can be regarded as another kind of assimilation." Xun thought more deeply than Xi Zhicai and others.
"Zhongde, we are not here to cause trouble, we are here to learn. If you have this mentality, how will you help the lord manage the land under his command in the future?" Xi Zhicai said: "The current situation of Anding City is our future template.
and goals, but the difficulties we have to face are much more difficult than those of Brother Zhongyu and Zhuge Kongming. We don’t have enough population and we don’t have enough troops. We are alone in a foreign country and surrounded by many powerful enemies. If we don’t learn from others and ask for advice at this time,
I’m afraid it will be difficult to help my lord handle affairs in the future.”
When Cheng Yu heard this, he kept a cold face and said nothing. He also knew this, but the resentment in his heart could not be eliminated.
When Xi Zhicai saw that Cheng Yu had stopped talking, he smiled bitterly and shook his head, then asked: "Wen Ruo, do you think Brother Zhongyu will arrange for us? Is it possible for us to rule several countries alone?"
Xun heard the words and smiled and said: "There must be no problem with this matter. Do you think Zhang Zibu is really so kind? He didn't ask us to come here just for fun. Before the world is unified, we will probably have to work here to help Yuan Gongdu.
.”
"Isn't Yuan Gongli afraid that we will reach a tacit understanding with the aristocratic family?" Xi Zhicai said with slight hesitation.
If they were able to manage a place where aristocratic families gather, they would definitely take action. Not to mention anything else, their power of words alone would be enough to win over some aristocratic families to follow.
And given the character of aristocratic families who like to make bets everywhere, not to mention how many people will be attracted this time, many children of aristocratic families with certain talents will definitely follow. There are three cunning rabbits in the cave! There is a problem with Yuan Shu here and themselves, these people can at least leave a legacy
.There are never too many ways back.
"Since Yuan Jiujiu agreed to send us here, he must have considered these things. With our current strength, it will be very difficult to survive alone in the land west of the Western Region. Yuan Jiujiu himself has many complicated things, and the help he can provide us will definitely not be enough.
In the end, we mostly have to rely on ourselves. In this case, we can only look for other help. After all, Yuan Gongli also hopes that we can gain a foothold outside, so this can be regarded as the help he provides us." Xun said.
A good woman cannot make a meal without rice, and Yuan Shu actually still has reservations about whether Cao Cao can develop outside the country. After all, although Cao Cao has great talents and great strategies, and his men and women are all talented, it is difficult to develop in such a situation. He also has to deal with nobles.
Shuang couldn't provide much help, so he had to ask the aristocratic families to help. Anyway, they have a strong foundation and can withstand no matter how hard they are squeezed, and they themselves are happy with it.
Cheng Yu seemed to have thought of something and suddenly said: "What about Liu Xuande and Yuan Benchu?"
Xun nodded slightly and said in a solemn tone: "For Yuan Gongli, we, Liu Xuande, Yuan Benchu, and even the aristocratic families are all the same. He doesn't care how we stick together. Yuan Benchu has the support of the aristocratic families in Jizhou and Bingzhou, and
He must be the last one to surrender before the unification of the world, and it is unlikely that he will interfere with these aristocratic families. But Liu Xuande is different. His power is weak, and he is now a withered bone in the grave. I am afraid that it won't be long before he comes here like us. Although we
Now we have the upper hand, but we don’t have much time left. We must reach an agreement with the aristocratic families as soon as possible, show our abilities, and try our best to win over them.”
The aristocratic families of the southwestern kingdoms were a cake prepared by Yuan Shu for the princes who were about to be released, but he didn't care how they were divided. He let them all rely on their own abilities. It would be a waste for the weak to get resources.
"Our mission here is not light. How many resources the lord can take away in the future depends on us." Xun took a deep breath and said in a solemn tone.
