After Xu You heard what Gao Fei said, he couldn't help but sweat broke out on his back. How could he have imagined that Gao Fei would be so ruthless and ruthless, and finally brought the wealthy businessmen from Luoyang over? It had only been half a month, and he was going to do something evil to them.
.
Gao Fei sneered, and when Xu You didn't answer, he continued: "Brother Ziyuan is also a resourceful person. Is it difficult for Brother Ziyuan to do such a trivial matter?"
"This...Lord...I was thinking..." Xu You said in a squeaky voice.
Gao Fei chuckled and said, "I know what you are thinking. You are thinking how could I be so cruel, right?"
"I would never dare!" Xu You knelt down on the ground and kowtowed to Gao Fei repeatedly, "I am loyal to my lord, and I would never dare to miss my lord like this..."
"People's hearts are so different from each other, I don't know what you are thinking, but I just want you to know that since you have followed me, you should not have any half-heartedness. It is common sense to have different opinions. We just need to seek common ground while reserving differences. In addition, I treat my own people very well."
It's very generous, and I will reward you with any benefits, but you should be ruthless when dealing with your enemies. Do you understand what I'm saying?"
"I understand... I understand... I understand..."
"Get up..."
Xu You was already trembling with fear. This was the first time he met such a powerful lord who could actually see through his mind. However, he had already boarded this pirate ship and couldn't get off even if he thought about it. Just as Gao Fei was heading towards
He explained the same thing, which means
He didn't want to see anyone rebelling. His family hadn't been taken over yet. He was alone in Jicheng and could leave anytime he wanted. But this time he had completely given up the idea of not light in the east and light in the west, because once he ran away,
It is likely to be life-threatening.
Seeing that Xu You had stood up and his body was shaking involuntarily, Gao Fei said to Xu You: "Brother Ziyuan, please sit down, Gao Lin, watch the tea!"
Xu You sat down, and Gao Lin personally presented him with a bowl of fragrant tea. The steam was rising into the air, just like Xu You's confused mood at this time.
"Brother Ziyuan, let's just call you this in private. Do you have any objection?"
"No...no objection...it's just that the master calls his subordinates like this, which makes them feel ashamed."
Gao Fei said: "Brother Ziyuan is older than me, so it is natural to call me brother. Brother Ziyuan and Cao Mengde are also old friends, right?"
Xu You nodded: "My childhood playmates, Yuan Benchu and Cao Mengde, are all close friends with me."
Gao Fei said: "Well, Cao Cao and I are considered brothers, and naturally I am considered a brother with you. Brother Ziyuan, let's continue the topic just now. Is there any way you can make all nine wealthy businessmen disappear overnight?
"
Xu You said: "As long as the lord wants to do it, it will not be difficult to do. Although the nine wealthy businessmen each have their own private soldiers, they are not really sympathetic to them. As long as they can be given favors, they can make these private soldiers join the lord. The lord will kill the nine."
Are the wealthy businessmen only after the wealth of these nine families?"
"Clever!" Gao Fei saw that Xu You was no longer so scared and said, "No matter who owns the wealth of the nine wealthy businessmen, they will be richest. Their total assets are more than twice that of the richest man in Luoyang, Sun Rui. Only
It's a pity that the nine wealthy businessmen are not as devoted to me as Shi Sunrui is. To prevent any eventuality, it would be better to kill him first."
Xu You said: "Lord, don't you kill Sun Rui?"
"Don't kill him! I still have use for him. In addition to the nine wealthy businessmen, I also have the list of the entire rich gentry in Youzhou. I also want you to conduct an investigation into their evil deeds. In addition to the nine wealthy businessmen, I also want you to conduct an investigation into their evil deeds.
Except for the secret killing, the rest can be carried out completely by relying on the laws of the Han Dynasty."
Xu You thought for a while and said: "I understand, when does the master want the nine wealthy businessmen to die?"
"The sooner the better. Only three people know about this matter, you, Gao Lin and me. I don't want such a secret matter to be known to others. Do you understand?"
Xu You said: "I understand."
Gao Fei said: "Very good, Gao Lin will obey your arrangements for this period of time. Just tell him if you need anything. After this is completed, I will reward you heavily. Once the Hanlin Academy is built, a lot of money will be used.
It’s absolutely impossible to have no money.”
"The Hanlin Academy...what kind of place is the Hanlin Academy? Why is the Lord so rich?"
"I might as well tell you that the Hanlin Academy is a place for the study of inventions. I summoned craftsmen with special skills from all over the place, just to let them invent some practical things according to my ideas in the Hanlin Academy, which can be used in daily life and military affairs.
Only by mastering advanced technology can we reduce casualties and increase grain yield per acre."
Xu You said "Oh", but he didn't understand and didn't continue to ask. He felt that Gao Fei's words were very profound.
Gao Fei and Xu You continued to chat about some family affairs, and then Xu You proposed to go to Nanyang to pick up his family. Naturally, Gao Fei would not refuse. In addition, Gao Fei also specially sent a hundred people to Xu You.
Let him do the work of the nine wealthy businessmen thoroughly.
Seeing that Gao Fei valued him so much, Xu You truly felt at peace. After bidding farewell to Gao Fei, he began to think hard and prepare to attack the nine wealthy businessmen.
After Gao Fei saw Xu You leaving, he also got up and left, going to Sima Yi's house alone.
When Sima Fang took office, Gao Fei did not let him take away his son, and arranged a residence for Sima Yi in the city, and put him and Qiu Liju's son Lou Ban to live together, in the same house that Liu Yu had given him.
In the mansion he arranged.
Gao Fei walked on the street and saw people coming and going in the city. Most of them were private soldiers of the Nine Rich Merchants, constantly carrying things, and he would see the Nine Rich Merchants from time to time. The Nine Rich Merchants were not like scholars.
Rui is so devoted to Goofy
, when Gao Fei was fundraising, each of the nine wealthy businessmen only contributed a little bit, while Shi Sunrui generously donated half of his family property and invested 600 million and a half baht to expand Jicheng.
all expenses.
From this point alone, Gao Fei was very unhappy with the nine wealthy businessmen. When he was walking on the road and saw the nine wealthy businessmen busy with their own affairs, his heart became even more unbalanced, and he secretly thought: "
I worked hard to bring you out, and even sent people to protect your property along the way.
But you are so heartless and unrighteous. If I don't attack you, once a war breaks out with Yuan Shao in the future, you will inevitably not collaborate with the enemy and betray the country. After your death, your wealth will belong to me and will be used for research expenses and army expansion. When I unify the world in the future,
I will definitely let someone write you down in the history books."
In fact, the relationship between the nine wealthy businessmen and Yuan Shao is what Gao Fei is most worried about. He thought that if he brought the nine wealthy businessmen to Jicheng, they would follow him wholeheartedly. However, as soon as Yuan Shao occupied Jizhou, he was responsible for monitoring the nine wealthy businessmen.
People reported their abnormality, which would not arouse Gao Fei's suspicion.
Unknowingly, Gao Fei had arrived at a mansion. There were only two soldiers guarding the door. When they saw Gao Fei coming, they hurriedly saluted.
After Gao Fei pushed the door open and went in, he saw Sima Yi and Lou Ban playing together in the distance. A pony was obtained from nowhere in the yard, and Lou Ban, who was older than Sima Yi, was teaching Sima Yi how to ride a horse.
Sima Yi's face was filled with extreme joy. He rode on the back of the colt and walked forward slowly with the support of Lou Ban. He kept shouting "drive" in his mouth, but the colt
He didn't listen to Sima Yi's shouts, and kept walking slowly with his horse's hooves under the control of Lou Ban.
Seeing this elegant scene, Gao Fei grinned. Lou Ban was twelve years old and Sima Yi was seven years old. One was from Wuhuan and the other was from Han. The child's temperament fully blossomed at this moment.
"Zhongda, how long have you been studying?" Gao Fei asked loudly as he walked into the yard.
When Lou Ban and Sima Yi saw Gao Fei coming, they immediately stopped. Lou Ban was stronger than Sima Yi and his body was taller than Sima Yi. He directly lifted Sima Yi off the pony's back and paid homage with Sima Yi: "See my lord.
!”
"No gifts, no gifts. I have been too busy recently to come see you. Now that I see you are so harmonious, it makes me feel very happy."
Sima Yi was older than Lou Ban because he was younger. He stepped forward and hugged Gao Fei's thigh and asked: "Master, why are you here? Did you bring anything delicious?"
Gao Fei smiled and said, "You know how to eat. I didn't bring the food, but I did bring the fun stuff."
Sima Yi glanced at Gao Fei, let go of Gao Fei's thigh, pouted, and asked: "Last time, didn't my lord say that he would bring delicious food? Why don't you keep your word? Isn't it true that a man keeps his word?
?”
Gao Fei was startled for a moment, and saw that although Sima Yi was young, his wisdom had slowly been revealed, and he was much better than the dull Lou Ban next to him. However, Lou Ban was more obedient than Sima Yi.
"Oh! If only Pei Yuanshao were here, he could make a lot of delicious food..." Gao Fei sighed, and couldn't help but think of the bald Pei Yuanshao.
Sima Yi asked: "Who is Pei Yuanshao?"
"Oh, one of my former subordinates was the best cook. He could cook any dish and it was delicious."
"Seeing that my lord is so sad, then Pei Yuanshao must have died early in the battle, right?" Sima Yi speculated wildly.
"It's smart. It's been more than a year since he died in the battle. It makes my heart hurt to think about it now. Hua Xiong's death was not worth it..."
Seeing Gao Fei being so sad, Sima Yi patted his chest and said loudly: "Don't worry, my lord. With me, Sima Yi, I will definitely keep your lord's beloved general safe in the future. I am currently reading Sun Tzu's Art of War. When I fully understand the art of war,
I, Tsukatora, can command the troops and horses, and sweep across Liuhe and the eight wastelands on behalf of my lord."
"Haha, you are ambitious." Gao Fei stroked Sima Yi's little head happily, took Sima Yi's hand and Lou Ban's hand and walked towards the house. As he walked, he said, "Come, I will teach you a fun thing."
