"The masked man made it very clear before we left. He wanted to see the basis of our cooperation. If this basis is made clear, it is nothing more than our mutual strength."
"Compared with the giants in charge of the other party's organization, I, the son of the Wei family, a grain merchant, have no negotiating confidence, so there will definitely be an attack and killing tonight as a test." Wei Shuyu explained to him one by one.
"Assassination can be a test?" Three-Eyed Sword was puzzled. He always paid attention to principles and punishments, and would only think that requirements and strength were obvious things.
"Simple," Wei Shuyu gave a simple example: "I have three thousand taels of silver but I don't know how to do business. I want to find a suitable shopkeeper. At this time, I need to know that this shopkeeper is enough to deal with my three thousand taels."
Business?"
"By creating a crisis for him, of course."
"If he can easily find someone to help solve the problem, it proves that this person is valued by everyone and has a strong background. Of course there is no problem in handing three thousand taels to him. If this person has no background but relies on his own strategy to solve the crisis, it can also be taken care of.
Such a great responsibility."
After Wei Shuyu said these words, the Three-Eyed Sword was thoughtful.
"What you mean is that if we use hard power to deal with the killer, it means that the bodyguards around the young master are strong and valued by the Wei family, so we have enough confidence to negotiate with him."
"On the other hand, if the young master does not have strong hands and can avoid the opponent's murderous intention through traps and strategies, it also proves that the young master is resourceful and is worthy of cooperation?"
"As expected of a person with clairvoyance, he can understand everything at once." Wei Shuyu showed a kind smile, but unexpectedly, the three-eyed sword did not buy it.
"Huh, these are just some little tricks, they won't work on the stage."
Wei Shuyu was a little surprised by the other party's reaction. He thought he had different opinions. Since the other party didn't understand what he was doing, there was no need for him to explain to him any more.
There is still half a day left, so I would like to use this time to go to Tai Chi Palace and report the undercover situation to His Majesty.
The rain in Chang'an was still falling, and Qin Huaidao in the Manlu Palace was even more worried. Most of the supplies were given priority to the Yellow River. The sudden crisis in the Yangtze River caught him off guard. The situation was so big that even if the national resources were mobilized now, it would be difficult to make it in time.
I'm afraid the only way to go is through flood discharge.
It happened that Wei Shuyu came to report, and he ordered the son of Master Wei Zheng to be brought into the Manlu Hall, and took the initiative to greet him to show that he valued him.
"Shu Yu is here, hurry up. I was planning to find you to find out about the situation of the forces behind the Sky Eye, and you are here. It's really surprising."
Wei Shuyu said: "Your Majesty said something serious. I wonder if your Majesty wants me to salute first or report the undercover situation first?"
Being young and energetic is quite interesting.
Qin Huaidao admired this man's character and believed that this was the first step for everyone to be equal in the world. If even he, the emperor, could not accept it, how could people convince others of the policies he promoted? Seeing Wei Shuyu take the initiative, Qin Huaidao smiled and said: "You
You are brave enough. From now on, you don’t need to salute me when you see me in private. As for being in the court or in the presence of all your lords..."
"So what?" Wei Shuyu laughed.
"If you're not afraid of being kicked out of the Wei Mansion by your father, it doesn't matter to me." Qin Huaidao looked at him with a smile.
"Your Majesty is Holy Ming."
Later, Wei Shuyu reported everything he knew to Qin Huaidao, which was nothing more than the masked man behind the organization and the masked man secretly manipulating the grain dealers. In addition, he also took the initiative to report his actions.
Gave it to him.
Because he believed that since His Majesty could accept him entering the court without worshiping him, he could also accept his extraordinary measures.
After listening, Qin Huaidao was thoughtful.
"The manipulator behind Jiang Shengwei is the masked man? This person also has the power to control intelligence from all over the country? Wei Shuyu, my eyes have not been able to detect things for several months. I didn't expect you to be able to do it in just ten days."
It’s amazing to find out.”
He had long known that Jiang Shengwei was just a chess piece. If Wei Shuyu hadn't made in-depth inquiries, I'm afraid that the information from the Sky Eye would have been intercepted as soon as it reached Jiang Shengwei, and Jiang Shengwei would have been treated as an abandoned pawn.
The sea, without a trace.
Wei Shuyu solemnly said: "At present, the organization controlled by the masked man is not clear, and what they want to do has not yet been found out. Therefore, the common people want to use your majesty's hand to give the masked man a big gift."
"You mean, let Lingnan Dao pretend to be rebels?"
It's not that Qin Huaidao disagreed, but that he was not sure about the true thoughts of the officials in South China. These people had raised the flag of rebellion since Li Tai's period. Not long after the founding of the Han Dynasty, they might not want to really rebel.
If it is really counter-intuitive, wouldn’t it mean that the other party is given a free ride?
This cannot be done.
However, Qin Huaidao immediately thought of another thing, the Yangtze River flood discharge.
After pondering for a while, he said: "In this way, the defense of the Yangtze River is destined to be undefeated. I plan to blow up the Jingjiang levee to release the flood. You can make further comments on this matter. You can decide the details yourself."
"Blow up the Jingjiang embankment? That's great. Why don't you leave this matter to me? I'll blow it up cleanly and beautifully."
"Okay, but we have to wait until the people below are evacuated. There can't be any casualties." Qin Huaidao reminded.
"The common people obey the decree."
After the discussion, Wei Shuyu no longer stayed and hurriedly left the palace. Soon after, Qin Huaidao received news from the Ministry of Civil Affairs that Chang'an Changyi Grain Merchant Zhang Daozi led a team and brought various grain merchants to donate grain. This batch of grain was enough to stabilize the army.
This disaster can be regarded as a timely help.
The grain merchant showed his kindness, and Qin Huaidao would not treat them badly. Not only did he write them an IOU for the price of grain, and promised to replenish them after the disaster was over, he also let them participate in other production work to earn money.
After the rise of the Ming Dynasty, porridge sheds were needed to be built in various places to provide food to the people. This matter was left to them, and people could be put to their best use.
As for the news of the embankment explosion, Qin Huaidao also informed the Ministry of State. According to previous rules, the matter must be discussed and formulated by the Ministry of State and representatives of the Ministry of State. Since the matter was serious, Qin Huaidao specially summoned only five people from the Ministry of State and representatives.
Liu Yong, the representative in charge of the Ministry of State, and several others first discussed the evacuation of the people, and then discussed and voted on the specific matter of blowing up the embankment.
Wei Shuyu returned to Xin'an Building and waited quietly for nightfall.
After waiting for a long time, the killer whom Wei Shuyu said had not arrived. The three-eyed knife was somewhat doubtful whether the masked man could really think of this method of judgment. Just as he was hesitating, the lights in the room went out.
A cold wind blew from nowhere, making him shiver.
This is summer.
"who?"
He keenly felt the poisonous smoke entering the house. Fortunately, he had been familiar with these tricks since he was a child. When there was something wrong in the air, he had already taken an antidote pill in advance to ensure that he would be able to survive in the subsequent confrontation.
