Seeing Dazai Ziqi with a calm face, the young man serving around him quickly changed his words: "Grandpa, why is this? The one who defeated Zheng Guo must be the 'little tyrant' of Henan. This achievement is due to his grandfather's advice.
ah."
"If there is such a king in the Wei Kingdom who forgets about his own interests, he will surely perish."
Zi lifted his whiskers and glanced at the young man, "When you were in Gusu, did you ever see Li Jie get carried away with his profit?"
After listening to his grandfather's story, the young man recalled that although Li Jie behaved like a mountain king every time he met with the Ziqi tribe, he was extremely arrogant and arrogant, but to say that he got carried away with his own gain... it was really a joke.
Not on.
"When it comes to getting carried away, there are definitely some macho men. If we say that we get carried away at the sight of profit, it has never happened before."
"At that time, Li Jie was in such a lowly position, and the Marquis of Wei was the king of a country. If he forgets about small gains, how can the country last long? If he had left early, the Wei country would be humiliated by the Jin Dynasty, but it would be destroyed by the Huaihe River. I still go to Qi Dynasty.
Country."
He raised his eyebrows, raised his hand and punched his waist, "I'm getting old now."
While the Marquis of Wei was busy plotting against the State of Zheng, on the road east of the Chaoge River, Ziqi, who had landed on the shore, was leisurely riding in a carriage towards the Qiancheng city of the State of Qi.
"I failed to send an envoy to Yue State, I failed to go to Chen State, and I failed to falsely go to Song State. I thought I could fish for the rest of my life in Wei State. Now it seems that it is better to go to Qi State and pay homage to the sea of clouds."
"When I go to Qi State, I might be able to drink old wine with the Marquis of Qi."
"That old man, hehe."
Zi Qi smiled disdainfully, he looked down on the Marquis of Qi. At that time, the old monster and his monarch were definitely a model monarch and minister, but later King Wei Wei of Wu was drifting away. Zi Qi felt his pulse and followed suit.
In the end, the system of Wu State was in chaos, and there was no way to improve or rebuild it. Ziqi was thinking about finding a new home, so that he could enjoy his old age in peace no matter what.
I just never expected the variables to be so big.
However, he seems to be in desolation now, but actually the life of his descendants is not bad, at least they don't have to worry about the liquidation of the new king of Wu State.
Both Tai Shumao and Huai Shui Bo Mansion are more generous towards their descendants.
The most important point is that without Zi Qi, the descendants of the good-for-nothings did not dare to prick, and could only live their lives with their tail between their legs.
The second generation ancestor is not stupid. He used to show off his power and power. That was when his father was still a high official in the court. The king appreciated the king's promotion and the king relied on him.
Things are different now. They are useless people who are afraid of being killed by pigs for their meat, so they keep a low profile as long as they can. They don't even work for small officials, they just stay at home and eat nothing.
Of course, it would be best to cultivate one or two elites. Not only are the second-generation ancestors not stupid, on the contrary, they have a very deep understanding of the source of their own wealth.
Since we no longer have power, we must cultivate power.
Taking advantage of the good environment now, if you can go to Huaizhong City, go to Huaizhong City, and if you can go to Gusu City, go to Gusu City. Anyway, there will be a little crowd.
If a top-notch hero suddenly emerges, wouldn't it be nice to be able to survive for a generation or two?
As for the second generation ancestor himself, he must continue to be a rice insect, which is harmless to humans and animals.
At this time, the families that are provocative are very passive. The more they come out to fight, the faster they will die.
On the contrary, he is a waste that everyone knows, because he has to save face, and basically no one will bother him.
Isn't it thankless? Not only did I offend Li Jie, but I also offended Tai Shumao. The new king's "benevolent" character cannot be destroyed. No matter which pig he kills, he will not kill his children and raise the whole family, no matter how tempting it is.
, even if it is very easy to kill.
Furthermore, Zi has come from old age and returned to his old age, and his experience and ability are still there. If he goes to other small countries to build systems and engage in production construction, he has a way of doing it.
It's not as good as Huaizhong City, but it's enough to keep many small countries busy.
Moreover, Ziqi didn't need to sell any ability. Selling connections and connections was enough for the princes, big and small, to invite him as their guest.
Why is Marquis Wei so well-behaved? That's because if you follow this line, even if you go to the south to import some luxury goods, you will have to take fewer detours than others.
Can Ziqi control the same channels as others?
Ziqi was able to use Wu's horsemen and boats to carry smuggled goods, because many county magistrates, magistrates, and county officials were his former subordinates.
No matter how much goods Li Jie produces, they must be dispersed. If Zi Qi collects these bulk goods in the market, it will be difficult to make a profit of twice or twice as much?
It's just that Zi Qi doesn't like him. He doesn't like him, but Wei Hou and his like do. That's why Wei Hou is as obedient as a dog.
It's not just that the Marquis of Wei respects his elders, it's because of Ziqi's strength.
Nowadays, there are not a few princes who know that Zi Qimao is in Chaoge. Some monarchs even specially send envoys to say hello. For example, the monarchs of Teng and Cao will send people to inquire about what the old master Dazai needs in life.
.
If you want a maid to give to a maid, if you want a boy to give a boy, just ask, and there will be no refusal.
During the battle between Wei and Zheng, not to mention Cao, Qi, Lu and even Yan all sent people to inquire.
Ziqi became more calm after hanging out in the Central Plains.
The purpose of sending people from these countries to greet you is not simple, but it doesn't matter to you.
For example, when the State of Yan sent an envoy, was it because they respected the life experience of his son Qi? Shit, it was because Prince Shen of the State of Yan wanted to find out whether Master A really went to live under Li Jie.
Zi Qi didn't know whether Li Jie was aware of the changes in the Yan Kingdom, but Zi Qi had stayed in Chaoge for a long time and had a new view of the Yan Kingdom. This young master of the Yan Kingdom, Shen, was really not simple at his young age.
Following the compilation of various intelligence and the analysis of the stakes, Ziqi speculated that the mastermind behind the assassination of Young Master Si might be Young Master Shen of the Yan Kingdom.
Today's Central Plains, Jianghuai, and Jiangdong are a pot of porridge, and the tipping point all begins with the death of a snake during the Wu-Jin alliance.
At this point, it is not an exaggeration to describe the world as being in chaos.
Countries are fighting wars one after another, and there are very few truly peaceful lands. And among those that can be considered legitimate countries, if you count them carefully, there is actually only one country called Yan.
In the eyes of others, the country of Yan was isolated and cold, and could only fight hand-to-hand with the barbarians.
But in this situation, small clans in many places are dragging their families and families with them to run away.
Because the road was cut off by the war, they went to Yan State through the Hebei road.
Now the State of Yan has expanded the size of its cities south of Yishui. The source of these populations, or the "cornerstone" that supports the expansion of these cities, are the families who have had no choice but to take refuge in Yan.
It was with this judgment that Ziqi clearly looked down on the Marquis of Qi and called him "old man", but still chose to go to Qi.
After all, in the recent battles between the various parties, Qi and Lu in Mount Tai were vying for supremacy. Ziqi did not think that Lu had any hope.
In the current state of Qi, although the Marquis of Qi is also "old and old", the need for expansion will soon appear, even if this need is forced out by the southern forces.
"Old Lord, are you going to Qi State now, or are you living in hiding like you were in Wei State?"
"I am going to Qi State, how can I hide myself?"
After brushing his beard for a moment, Ziqi said, "Based on Li Jie's habits, Chu will definitely suffer a huge defeat. When the time comes... the people of Chu will definitely go to Qi for help."
After saying this, Ziqi smiled and said, "Your father is in Huaizhong City now?"
"My master is now working as a swordsman and penman at the dock, specializing in sentencing bandits on the water."
"Very good."
Nodding, Ziqi didn't think there was anything shameful about his son doing this kind of work. On the contrary, he had real power and face. He was one of the few positions in Huaizhong City with a wide range of people. He just wanted to be promoted.
The degree of difficulty is not small.
Generally speaking, being a sword and pen official is like being a dog. What the master wants is that his will can be communicated at any time, and who he wants to kill is how to kill. It is enough for the sword and pen official to carry out his work honestly like a wooden man.
His sons were all useless, so it was perfect for him to do this kind of job. Li Jie's arrangement seemed to Zi Qi to be very caring.
"If you go to Qi State, please give Li Jie a helping hand."
As soon as Ziqi said this, the young man who was accompanying him was stunned, "How can I help you, old man? The state of Qi is no better than the state of Wei. Now all the gentlemen under the state of Qi have fertile land and heavy troops. The princes of Qi are old and cannot intimidate them.
.It’s just that all gentlemen can only compete with the Marquis of Qi if they join forces. On their own, they are all inferior to the Marquis of Qi.”
"I don't want to help the Marquis of Qi, so what do you care about that old man?"
Fu Xu smiled, and Zi Qi said confidently, "I will first go to Qiancheng City to have a drink and chat with the Gao family, and then go to Linzi to promote Qi's rebellion against the Han. When the time comes for the 'Anti-Han Alliance', Qi will
How about being the leader of the alliance?"
"Anti-Han? Hanzi?"
"The Zhou Dynasty really has a secret agreement. As long as Li Jie conquers the capital of Ying and drinks the Mahan River, he will be sealed with the Han River."
On this point, the outside world is just guessing, but Ziqi is certain that there is such a thing.
"This... this contributed to the 'Anti-Han Alliance', how can it be a helping hand?"
"Idiot, Jin was the overlord at that time, so why did it happen?"
"Respect Zhou and defeat Chu. Huh?"
The young man reacted immediately, "So, rebelling against Han now is just like rebelling against Chu back then?"
"That's exactly it. It's just that Jin is the king, how can it be countered? It's just Qin, Qi, and Yan."
After Ziqi finished speaking, he said firmly to his grandson, "I'm afraid that at this time, the envoy from Chu State is already on his way to Qi State."
