"How about... just give this guy who talks nonsense a chronic poison and suddenly die suddenly in a few days?" Wang Junlin couldn't help but secretly cursed in his heart.
Of course, this idea was just a thought for the time being. He could only do his best, cheer up and still smile happily, and be patient with Yu Wenhua and continue to talk nonsense.
Yu Wenhua could be so valued by the moody Yang Guang. His ability to observe faces is naturally top-notch, and his EQ and IQ are definitely among the best. Otherwise, he would not have left a great reputation in history.
At this time, he found that Wang Junlin's smile was a little forced. After Yu Wenhuaji toasted a glass of wine, he finally got to the point.
"I heard that when Qin Anhou was serving as a guard at Gaotai City in Zhangye County, Yongzhou, he had close contacts with various tribes in the Western Regions. Is this true?"
Wang Junlin immediately sat up straight. He had a hunch that the other party finally started talking about business, and everything he said next might be useful information.
Seeing that Wang Junlin was listening attentively and waiting for the next words, Yu Wenhuaji's eyes were like lightning, and he stared at Wang Junlin and said: "Last year, a new country was established in the Western Regions, called Zhaowu Kingdom. It has huge power and is the second largest power after the Western Turks..."
Wang Junlin's heart thumped as he thought of the weapons base in the Qilian Mountains that Wu San helped him manage, and secretly felt bad. Last month, Wu San sent someone to report on the situation of the weapons base in the Qilian Mountains, which mentioned weapons.
The size of the base has doubled from the original, and the two thousand newly trained blacksmiths are fully qualified for their jobs. The place may have become a small town. As long as there is enough iron and coal, it can be built within a month.
Weapons and armor needed for an army of ten thousand people. This is also one of the biggest secrets among the various arrangements Wang Junlin made in the northwest. He has secretly decided that Ruoyu Wenhuaji will say this, and use this matter to
Threaten him and he will never admit it.
Thoughts were flying in my mind, but Wang Junlin showed no sign of his presence.
"I have heard what Brother Yuwen said, but the overall strength of the Zhaowu Kingdom is still inferior to that of the Western Turks. It's just that the Western Turks are now divided into three and are fighting against each other, so Zhaowu Kingdom took advantage of the loophole."
Wang Junlin said haha.
Yu Wenhuaji nodded, talking nonsense without blinking an eye, and his expression was very serious, as if he was speaking the universal truth, the face of a standard politician and conspirator.
"The Marquis of Qin An is indeed well-informed, which shows that there are many arrangements in the Western Regions..."
The other party started to talk nonsense again and tested endlessly. Wang Junlin was ready to go straight to the point and asked: "Well, Brother Yuwen suddenly talked about the Western Regions. I don't know why..."
Yu Wenhuaji sighed: "Qin Anhou should know that our Yuwen family has been taking care of some business for His Highness the Crown Prince. The huge amount of money spent in the East Palace was half of the credit of our Yuwen family..."
"Yes, I have indeed heard of this matter. His Royal Highness is firmly in the position of crown prince, and the Yuwen family has contributed a lot. From this, it can be seen that His Highness's trust in the Yuwen family is unparalleled by others." Wang Junlin
A casual compliment.
Seeing that Wang Junlin admired their Yuwen family's position in the heart of the prince, Yu Wenhua and Wang Junlin couldn't help but smile with satisfaction and continued: "I heard that the Marquis of Qin An has some properties in the Qilian Mountains..."
When Yu Wenhua said this, he suddenly stopped talking and stared at Wang Junlin, trying to see something from Wang Junlin's face. However, Wang Junlin had been mentally prepared and his true thoughts would not be revealed. On the contrary
But he looked puzzled and said: "I do have some properties in Gaotai City, but I have never had any property in the Qilian Mountains..."
Yu Wenhuaji smiled gently and kindly at him, cupped his hands and said: "Qin Anhou, please don't deny it in a hurry. Our Yuwen family has no hostility. We just want to cooperate with Qin Anhou and do business with all the tribes in the Western Regions for the benefit of His Highness the Crown Prince."
It’s just the money earned. Of course, my Yuwen family cannot take advantage of Marquis Qin An in vain. With the money required and the specific methods of cooperation, we will naturally negotiate a charter that satisfies both families."
Wang Junlin said in confusion: "But I really don't have any property in the Qilian Mountains! However, I have business dealings with all the tribes in the Western Regions, even with the Western Turks. If the Yuwen family wants to get involved, I am willing to bear the pain and give up.
I beg Brother Yuwen to have a few kind words for me in front of His Highness the Crown Prince..."
Yu Wenhuaji smiled and sighed: "Qin Anhou, you still misunderstood the meaning of our Yuwen family. We really have no hostility, we just want to make money together..."
Wang Junlin blinked, his face remained as usual, but his heart was already cold.
At this moment, he fully understood.
In the past few days, he had made friends and given gifts, and the purpose was to build a weapons base in the Qilian Mountains in partnership with Sha Qianmo, the former king of horse thieves in the Western Regions and now the king of Zhaowu Kingdom.
As early as the day when the Yuwen family gave the gift, Wang Junlin had always maintained a high degree of vigilance. He must ask for something from others, not to mention the Yuwen family who liked to scheme behind people's backs and was the most greedy for money in the Sui Dynasty. Such people
If your attitude is too enthusiastic, you always feel like a weasel coming to pay New Year greetings, and Wang Junlin is the chicken who is being paid New Year greetings...
The mystery over the past few days has finally been completely solved today.
Such a large weapons base sells weapons to various countries in the Western Region every year. Last year, the revenue received was no less than 300,000 taels of silver. The most important thing is that there is such a weapons base outside the Sui Dynasty. It is no less than
Hold an army that you can control.
Such a good thing is indeed worthy of the Yuwen family's enthusiasm. It's a pity that Wang Junlin knows the details of the Yuwen family, but the latter does not know the details of Wang Junlin. The Yuwen family did a great job in this matter, and it looked like the city government was scheming.
They laid the groundwork calmly, and finally used milder methods to force Wang Junlin to admit it, and then used this as a threat to directly annex the weapons base. Unfortunately, Wang Junlin knew them better than they did.
Wang Junlin still looked puzzled and said: "But, I really don't have any property in the Qilian Mountains!"
Yu Wenhuaji sighed: "The Marquis of Qin An still doesn't believe me! Haha..."
It can be seen that Yuwen Shu and Yu Wenhuaji are also quite afraid of the notorious Wang Junlin. From the moment Yu Wenhuaji entered the door to now, he has not shown any domineering attitude. On the contrary, he appears to be very gentle and kind, face to face with Wang Junlin.
Talking eloquently, analyzing the pros and cons in detail, just like facing an old friend who has known each other for many years, he explained the matter clearly and happily. Therefore, Wang Junlin knew that this guy was actually threatening him, but he could not directly turn back.
