For the matter of crossing the river northward, Shang Wuji planned to learn from the famous master and planned to help Mayor Li get the legal and reasonable opening procedures from Gusu.
It's just that Village Chief Li directly vetoed this behavior because he didn't want to alarm Gusu.
Even if Wu Wang Gouchen is old, he is not an old fool. It feels good to lie for a while, and it will always feel good to lie to him forever. What if the resentment of Young Master Yin's failure in the battle is spread on their Yinxiang? Isn't this just catching someone blind?
Upon hearing what Chief Li said, Shang Wuji asked the boss what his plans were.
Li Jie chuckled, his eyes a little wretched, and said to his uncle: "Why don't we just say that a 'Baisha Yongfu' was lost in Pheasant?"
"Um?"
The eldest uncle blinked his eyes and did not react: "What does this mean?"
"This 'Baisha Yongfu' was lost from Pheasant, but our people saw it. They all went to Luyi of 'Baiyu Clan', and they disappeared in Luyi!"
"..."
His face trembled, and Shang Wuji once again felt that he had underestimated Li Jie.
Shameless, so shameless!
In the disputes between countries, even if villages and towns fight each other, there is still a saying of "the teacher has the reputation." But if one of his own people is lost, can it be regarded as the teacher has the reputation?
"Then?"
Shang Wuji didn't believe that people could be so shameless, so he asked again cautiously.
"Then? Then of course we have to go to Luyi to search. Otherwise, how can we find our people? This is the 'Baisha Yongfu' who will become the 'Crocodile Man' in the future."
Mayor Li, with his hands spread out, looked quite innocent and his expression was very magnanimous.
Taking a deep breath, Shang Wuji thought that being good at calculations was one of his abilities, but he suddenly realized that calculations were bullshit. That was because he had not encountered such shameless beasts. If the ministers who had dealt with various countries in the past were all
With Li Jie's appearance, he can't make much money at all.
If you don’t lose money, you will be rich.
"If this behavior is spread, it will be detrimental to the Yin Township."
Shang Wuji looked at Li Jie worriedly, and then persuaded him, "Li Jie has set his own rules. If he wants to convince the people, he must have a famous teacher, so that his soldiers dare to compete first."
After all, soldiers are human beings, and as human beings, they use their brains and think. Once they doubt the "justice" of their combat actions, something will definitely go wrong.
Although plunder is the mainstream of this era, if plunder is not packaged, the soldiers' fighting will will definitely not be particularly determined.
Township Chief Li thought for a while and felt that his uncle was right, so he said: "Then what is the reason for doing the 'Bai Yu clan'?"
"He has a white deer, and he doesn't want to offer it to the king. This is rude. Now that the Yin Country has heard about it, he has conquered it for the king."
As soon as he heard what Shang Wuji said, Mayor Li felt that if he had had his uncle to help him when he was a foreman, the business would definitely be bigger.
He fakes the power of a tiger, threatens and intimidates, and forms a group to collect debts... He has three consecutive violent qualities, which is very skillful.
"In addition, the remnants of the 'Han Kingdom' can also be reported to Gusu on the grounds that they want to restore the country. However, I think this is too much, and I am afraid that the county soldiers will be mobilized to encircle and suppress them."
Both reasons are very good. The former is to "punish the unruly ministers", and the latter is to "kill the traitors". However, one is a small punishment and the other is a major warning. If Yinxiang wants to expand its territory, there is no need to kill Huaiyi.
For the current "Huaishang Jiuyi", they can live with whichever boss they are, and they are no longer as brave and militant as they once were. After losing their roots, it is extremely difficult for the "Huaiyi" to reunite.
The theory of the country is just wishful thinking and foolish people talking about dreams.
But this is "Huaiyi's" own business. As far as Township Chief Li is concerned, he just can't hatch a chick for 21 days - a bad one!
Of course the bad guys are going to do bad things.
"If we go to deal with the 'Bai Yu Clan', no one will cause trouble, right? Then will the Prime Minister of Huai County come here to eat two things?"
“Why eat two fish for one fish?”
Shang Wuji was stunned for a moment and didn't understand what Li Jie was saying, but he roughly guessed it and said directly, "The Prime Minister of Huai County is from Qin after all. Now that the princes of Gusu are fighting, he can't act rashly. Besides, Huai County
The county is not as good as Yinxiang. If the county minister wants to use troops at will without the king's order, it is a serious crime."
What's more, there is another thing that Shang Wuji didn't mention. The county minister of Huai County made a huge profit by selling 500 deck chairs to fellow Qin people. Who would this be done for but Huai County?
The county minister, after all, is a high-level intellectual, so he doesn’t know what to do?
"Then there shouldn't be any trick like 'the mantis stalks the cicada while the oriole follows', right?"
It’s not that Mayor Li is afraid, but it’s just that when it comes to taking advantage of others, it must be done neatly and neatly, without being sloppy. If you drag it a little, the darker and bigger ones will come out and take a bite.
There are no exceptions.
The key point of cheating is actually to be fast and accurate. In the early stage, you need to take care of all the big brothers. After you are done, even if a big brother comes out to share the spoils, you can still grin.
Your own territory naturally has the "responsibility of guarding it", so you don't have to be afraid to do it.
"The mantis stalks the cicada, but the oriole follows behind?"
As soon as Shang Wuji heard the boss's dirty talk, he quickly took out a pen and paper and wrote it down.
Yes, there is paper in Yinxiang. Although it is not much and although it is very thin, it is enough for intellectuals to use for their work. Although there are very few intellectuals, only single digits.
"The mantis...catches...the cicada...the yellow...bird...is behind...!"
After recording it on the paper, Shang Wuji smiled and nodded in praise, "This paper is really a magical thing, but it's a pity that the output is very small."
"This is a secret that is not told in Yinxiang. It cannot be sold outside for three to five years."
Mayor Li immediately reminded his uncle, who is a professional businessman.
"Don't worry, Shou Li, Wuji will understand."
After saying this, Shang Wuji said again, "Except for the southern minister of the Huai River, Wei, if we talk about threats, there is only one person."
"who?"
"He is Lord Yiyang who was granted the title by the late king!"
"Jun Yiyang? I've never heard of it."
"..."
Looking at the confused Li Jie, Shang Wuji was also quite helpless. God knows how this guy appeared. If he didn't know him from the south or from the north, then he couldn't have fallen from the sky or from the water.
Did it float here?
As a Wu person, even if you are a "Shaye" person, you must have heard a few necessary places and names!
"The previous king destroyed all the tribes under the Huai River. At that time, Prince Xuan was a general and won consecutive battles. Because of his merits, he was granted the title of king in the Huai River. He built a salt city on the banks of the Yi River and made the tribes in the Huai River the industry of making salt. "Dongsha"
The savages are the queens of Yanhu in Yancheng."
"Then this Lord Yiyang has actually sealed a fief?"
"That's right, but the soil in the salt city built by Lord Yiyang is very barren and barely produces any grain. The way to make a living is in the salt-making industry."
Hearing what Shang Wuji said, Li Jie rubbed his chin, thinking that if it were him, he would definitely have to touch "Huaiyi". It would be very urgent to have such a barren land that produces food.
He didn't believe that Lord Yiyang was an honest man. Let alone Lord Yiyang, none of the nobles that Mayor Li had met recently had a fuel-efficient lamp.
An ugly man like Mr. Ba has amazing talents, let alone the former king's son with military merits? If he doesn't have any ambition, he's just a fool.
"I think this Lord Yiyang is definitely going to cause trouble."
"Why is Shou Li so sure?"
Shang Wuji asked very strangely.
"Because if I were Lord Yiyang, I would definitely go out and rob Luyi while you were looting it. If I had jujubes or no jujubes, I would have two shots. If I occupy a few pieces of land, when the king asks about it, he will say
When I saw what Yinxiang was doing, I thought it was the king’s intention, so I followed and helped..."
Li Jie looked at Shang Wuji, "Do you think that if the king finds out, will he blame the clan member Yiyang Jun? Or will he beat up Yinxiang and let us fight in vain?"
"..."
Although Mayor Li was speculating on others with the utmost malice, Shang Wuji had to admit that what this guy said made sense.
But here’s the problem, where did he learn this principle?
Shang Wuji was very hurt, but he still said: "If this is the case, then Lord Yiyang will have to stay in Yancheng."
"Do you have any idea?"
"This method is easy."
"Could it be possible to bribe the king and ask him to keep Lord Yiyang in Yancheng and not leave?"
"Why do you need this? Just send people to Yancheng to buy a huge amount of sea salt."
Township Chief Li was stunned for a moment and then said in admiration: "It makes sense. Even if Lord Yiyang doesn't listen to the king, how can he not listen to money? With a big order, he must keep an eye on the output. Why does Huaiyi care?
