Qi Wang, the fifth surname, is really scared now. If this continues, all their business will be embezzled by the King of Shu.
Then, I'm afraid it won't take a few hundred years for these aristocratic families to decline.
They have inherited it for thousands of years, if it just falls into their hands.
Even if they die, they will not be ashamed to see their ancestors under the Nine Springs.
Especially now that the King of Shu has been promoted and became the governor of Jiannan Road, his rights have been further expanded.
It will become even more difficult to deal with him now.
But now they have to deal with King Shu, otherwise, they will really be doomed.
But they got together and discussed for a long time, but they still couldn't find a good way to deal with the King of Shu.
If you were dealing with an ordinary prince, it would be really easy.
It is too simple to cut off trade routes, drive up prices, and cut off food.
But these tricks didn't work at all when used on this King of Shu.
They have a Chinese trading house. If you don't cut off the trade route, they will be ready to cut off your trade route. This road will not work.
As for cutting off food, hey, is the entire Jiannan Road still short of food?
I'm afraid that even the production areas in Jiangnan don't have as much food as those in Jiannan Road, right?
At this moment, Lu Yong said: "Since we are all at a loss, why not ask Cui Shiniang, the sister of the Cui family, to come out and come up with an idea?"
Cui Shiniang?
It turns out that the Cui family in Qinghe gave birth to a talented girl named Cui Shiniang.
This Cui Shiniang is not only proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting, she also has a photographic memory, is extremely intelligent, and can judge matters like a god.
Sometimes the head of the Cui family would come to her to discuss matters that he was undecided about, and her approach would definitely prove to be correct afterwards.
Well, the head of the Cui family is actually the father of Cui Shiniang.
And this Cui Shiniang is only twelve years old this year and can be called a monster.
The head of the Cui family has sighed many times that if Shiniang were a man, she would definitely succeed him as the head of the family.
It's a pity that she is a girl and will get married sooner or later.
And precisely because Cui Shiniang was so smart, the other surnames who came to propose marriage almost crossed the threshold of his home.
However, Cui Shiniang thinks very highly of herself, and the head of the Cui family is reluctant to let his daughter get married so soon, so there is no husband's family yet.
But this Cui Shiniang is an extremely evil being in the entire Five Surnames and Qiwang family.
It's just that because she is a girl and young, she has never been involved in any important family affairs involving the five surnames and Qiwang.
But now that Lu Yong mentioned it, the other families immediately thought of this evil girl.
At this time, Cui Zhiji couldn't help but stand up and said in embarrassment: "My girl has a deficiency syndrome and cannot bear the bumps. Besides, she is a prostitute and it is not convenient for her to be exposed."
Hearing Cui Zhiji's words, Lu Yong couldn't help laughing and said: "Brother Cui is worrying too much. He just asked Shiniang to make suggestions and did not need her to come forward. Now is the critical moment of life and death for our family. All the children of the family must contribute.
If there is no skin left, how can the hair be attached?"
Cui Zhiji said helplessly: "Well, this time my little sister wanted to go out to relax, but she came with me, so I'll invite her to come out and talk."
When they heard that Cui Shiniang had followed him, the eyes of Lu Yong and other young aristocratic family members couldn't help but light up.
They all want to marry Cui Shiniang home.
He is well-equipped with music, chess, calligraphy and painting, and is unparalleled in beauty, so of course I don't want to talk about it.
In fact, girls from aristocratic families are basically not ugly either.
They are all ladies, and their temperament is not much different.
What they fancy is actually Cui Shiniang's intelligence.
This is definitely a good wife. If she can marry him and go home, it will be a great help to their careers.
Now that I heard that Cui Shiniang is actually here, how can I not be happy?
If you can perform well in front of Shiniang and win Shiniang's favor, maybe the marriage will be done.
Cui Zhiji noticed their green gazes and couldn't help but feel a little wary.
These guys are all in their twenties, and they still want old cows to eat young grass. Don't even think about it.
Cui Zhiji walked out, and soon he brought in a twelve or thirteen-year-old girl called Pingping Tingting.
However, what disappointed Lu Yong and other young disciples was that Cui Shiniang's face was covered with a veil, making it difficult for people to see her appearance clearly.
After Cui Shiniang came in, under the guidance of Cui Zhiji, she greeted everyone generously.
The young disciples headed by Lu Yong straightened their chests and tried their best to show their most handsome side to Shi Niang.
Unfortunately, Shiniang's face was covered with a veil and her expression could not be seen, which disappointed them.
After seeing this, Lu Yong couldn't help but ask: "Shi Niang, now that the King of Shu has become the Jiedushi of Jiannan Road, it has seriously threatened the existence of our family. I wonder if Shiniang can deal with this King of Shu?"
Cui Shiniang couldn't help but ask: "Lu Langjun, I don't know what you want to achieve with the treatment you mentioned?"
Lu Yong said solemnly: "Of course we will put him to death. Unless the King of Shu dies, the family will be finished sooner or later."
Cui Shiniang hesitated for a moment, and then said: "I'm afraid this won't be easy. The only one who can decide the fate of the King of Shu is himself."
Hearing Cui Shiniang's words, Lu Yong had a look of confusion on his face, and for a moment he didn't understand what Cui Shiniang meant.
The others had the same expression on their faces. At this moment, they felt that their IQ was not enough.
Lu Yong couldn't help but ask: "What does Shi Niang mean?"
Cui Shiniang said seriously: "This King of Shu, Shiniang has also studied. Not only is he brilliant in literature, he is the most talented person in the Tang Dynasty. He is also erudite and versatile. He knows everything about astronomy and geography."
"And he was well versed in the art of adaptability. He once said that what you learn on paper will eventually become shallow, but you must know how to do it. Many of his inventions and creations had an important impact on the people of the Tang Dynasty, and even on the country and the country.
.”
"It stands to reason that such an evil talent will arouse the suspicion of the emperor. Even if he is a prince, there is no exception. But this King of Shu did not. Just because this King of Shu was smart enough, when he was in Chang'an,
So he committed suicide to protect himself. But after arriving in Yizhou, he became like birds flying in the sky and fish like the sea. It has become a climate."
Cui Zhiji asked puzzledly: "Shi Niang, but he is now the Jiedushi of Jiannan Road. Although the emperor trusts him now. But if many people say in front of the emperor that he is ambitious and wants to rebel, is it possible?
Won’t the Emperor be suspicious of him? Can we take action in this regard?”
Cui Shiniang said leisurely: "How come there is no suspicion? In fact, the emperor is not suspicious of him now? But as long as Tubo and Nanzhao are not destroyed, and there are still hidden dangers in the southwest, the King of Shu will be fine."
"Raising the invaders to protect himself and supporting the troops to consolidate himself, this King of Shu is an extremely smart man. And his concept of the development of Shu is at least hundreds of years ahead of this era. This King of Shu can really be regarded as the best in ancient and modern times."
