Chapter 359 South
"Xue Ling, you will go back to the barracks in a few days. How is the war now? Are you going to let Yun'er go to the barracks with you? Mo Aichen said. Mo Xianyun held Jiang Xue's arm tightly. At the beginning of her marriage, of course, she was unwilling to leave her husband. My parents have been raising them for many years, and they are also a little reluctant to give up.
Xue Ling frowned and said, "I'm going to take the slender fiber back to the barracks to meet my father. After all, he is my father... The reason why the Tang Dynasty has been able to defend until now is to eat the old capital of the past. If it hadn't been for Xia Shuangtian's vision at that time, he would have been defeated faster. According to this trend, in less than two years, you can** go straight to Chang'an. A few days ago, I received an urgent secret report. It seemed that Emperor Li Xian had promised something to the Tubo royal family. 300,000 Tubo army was passing through the Qilian Mountains and preparing to support the Tang army from the side.
"Is there such a thing? Isn't Li Xian afraid of attracting wolves into the house? The sail was startled. Xue Ling's intelligence is definitely not wrong. After all, he controls 100,000 military power.
"He is tearing down the east wall to repair the west wall. There is no way, if it is expected. He is going to use the Tubo army to contain the Turks and collect the army to deal with the Xia family. Twelve serial docks only have a geographical advantage, and they can be attacked even if they are strong. Mo Aichen sneered. The master of a faction is not a simple person.
"Well, it seems that whether the Xia family can defeat it will determine the national fortune of the Tang Dynasty. According to the information I got, the Xia family has expanded from the original five states to seven states, and the food is self-sufficient. It is completely enough to even reclaim wasteland to grow grain and prepare for long-term competition. Not to mention the "God of War" Xia Shuangtian, they may not be able to deal with the "female Zhuge" Xia Ruoyan, who is in the limelight now. Xue Ling said disdainfully. After all, the culprit of Xiao Ran's death was the court, and the Xia family could not get rid of it.
"Ye�, it should be. I heard that the Wulin League has been summoning righteous people to prepare to go north to support the Tang army. Isn't the second brother going against the people of Tangjiabao? Yang Fandao. Although there was a lot of chaos in the martial arts, the Xia family, twelve serial docks, and rebellions, which were all internal strife, and the invasion of the Turks was a national disaster. Tangjiabao should be Xiao Ran's in-law, and there will be some trouble at that time.
"There's nothing we can do about it. Is there still less people standing against me? Whether they understand or not, I must do this. My eldest brother also helped me persuade the people of Tangmen, and I don't want to do anything with them.
“...”
Jiangnan, Zheng's business.
Several people sat in the lobby, and a gray-haired and thin goat beard old man sat in the middle. The scene was serious and seemed to be discussing something big.
"We only allocated 300,000 taels of silver from the commercial bank last month, and now we are looking for silver again. Is it possible that our Zheng family is a cash cow? We can't give anything this time. A woman is humane.
"This is the order above. Don't you want to resist the decree?" A middle-aged man said helplessly. I thought that the Zheng family would have a better life after moving down the Xia family, but I didn't expect that the Wu family was in power, and there was no one who dared to compete with him.
"The war in the court is tight, and how much silver is really in the hands of it every time. It has not been searched by the people of the Wu family. Nowadays, the war is in turmoil, and the business is the most serious. There is no money for transfer. Third uncle, think about it." The man with a mole at the corner of his mouth said.
"Wait..." The old man didn't open his eyes and said.
"Wait? Third uncle, you have said this sentence more than a dozen times. When will you wait? The man with a mole on the corner of his mouth said.
"Third uncle..." A man's voice came from afar, and a white and fat middle-aged man ran out of the house breathlessly.
"Is everything done?" The old man slowly opened his eyes.
"Ye, the Liu family's formula for making "perfume" has even been completed. As long as the third uncle orders, we can immediately grab people to produce "perfume"." It was during the years of the Liu family's dormant period that the fat man did not stop supplying goods to Liu's commercial firm with others in order to defraud trust. This is also the old man's idea to catch big fish with a long line.
The Liu family's "perfume" business? This is a profitable business. Every bottle is expensive, and even in today's civil strife, there is still no need to worry about selling it. The man with a mole on the corner of his mouth was surprised. Even the women present in the field bought it. If it is true as the white fat man said, it can grab the business of Liu's business, and even the manpower operating these processes can be dug up at a high price.
They have long estimated that the payment of Xiangyaxuan branches in various parts of Datang exceeds tens of thousands of silver a day, and it has been the second place among the four major commercial banks in Jiangnan. If they do it now, they can seize at least 30% of the market, which can solve the urgent need, and it is not impossible to replace Liu's firm.
I heard that the Liu Fangfei sisters were related to Xiao Ran at the beginning, and they were the remnants of the party. Why didn't the third uncle do it earlier? It's impossible that he couldn't eat it by the means of the court. A woman asked.
"Well, don't you think I've thought about this? It doesn't work. Although Xiao Ran died, he made friends with many people, and there were several Jianghu forces secretly protecting them. I don't know whether they received money or owed favors. It is impossible to even send someone to Xiang Yaxuan to make trouble. The world is chaotic enough that it is impossible for the court to confisify the Liu family and cause greater chaos. The business of this perfume cannot be stopped. I heard that many concubines in the palace are using it, so they can only steal the formula. Now you can do it..." The old man's eyes flashed with a cold smile.
"The new power of the Liu family is really whimsical to surpass our Zheng family. Third uncle doesn't take action, so he won't give them a chance to turn over. It's really smart, hahaha..." Several people praised it.
"Don't be idle. First, control the purchase channels of these materials. They should still have some inventory. Even if it is sold at a low price, it will drag them down. I'm going to catch her off guard and tell her that it shouldn't work every day, hahaha..." The old goat beard laughed.
It rains in the south of the Yangtze River, and the wind sends Changchuan. The blue tile smoke fainted on the willow bank, and the red silk fragrance moistened into the plum sky, floating in the right place.
Morning and evening, growing in front of Chu Feng. In the cold night, the golden pillow is sad, the Mulan boat is deeply closed in the evening river, and the smoke and waves are far connected.
On a south passenger ship, Xiao Ran stood in the drizzle and closed his eyes and thought. The five apes behind him carried steel sticks with thick arms and ate in the cabin beside them. From time to time, they were vigilant and didn't understand what the owner was doing.
There is a dense drizzle in the air, dripping, and the raindrops sprinkled on the corrugation, tinkling. Converge into a trickle and go down the eaves. Knocking on the leaves, rustling softly. It dripped into the alley and made a sound. An environment that can be encountered but cannot be sought. At this moment, no matter how sad and helpless the world is, I am indifferent to listen to the light rain or densely sprinkle bamboo, or frequently click new bananas, or tap the sparse obsess, or diagonally beat the withered lotus. I am calm and forgetful, and I just want to do anything to the dawn.
"Listening to the rain pavilion, suitable for taking root in the south of the Yangtze River." Xiao Ran suddenly opened his eyes and said to himself. Suddenly, there is an innate master in the world. I'm afraid many people will check their own details. Today's strength is more than enough to build a small sect. As for the disciples in the family, there seem to be only five apes, and there is one more person. Zhang Xuan, the apprentice Xiao Ran received at the beginning, left him with the master of the eldest brother of Baiyun Mountain. He should have achieved something. But we can't be in a hurry to recognize each other now.
The identity of "Xiao Mo" will be hidden for some time. The first is to open a mountain and establish a school, and the second is to go to the Casting Sword Villa to create a special armor for the five apes. If all this is fully prepared, you will be qualified to challenge the behind-the-scenes.
"Third brother, I went to drink your wedding wine on time. I don't know if you will see my heart from that gift." Xiao Ran said to himself.
"Ah~" The five apes sneezed violently, and several large cargo ships weighing several tons passed by them.
"It smells good." Jin Erdao.
Xiao Ran sniffed gently, but it was just the aroma of golds. Maybe they were allergic to it. Speaking of the fragrance of flowers, Xiao Ran suddenly remembered a person: Liu Fangfei. She and her own perfume business, I don't know how it is now. Xiao Ran looked carefully at the cargo ship and saw a big "Zheng" flag hanging on the mast. This is an official ship, and the Zheng family is linked to the court, which is something that everyone knows. Xiao Ran roughly calculated that there were more than ten ships.
