Chapter 1205 Prosperity, the common people suffer!
Liu Yuru didn't believe what Wang Yue said, but she felt that what Wang Yue said was very reasonable. After all, the strength of Qingzhou is obviously not as good as that of Youzhou. If you offend Youzhou, it is obviously not a good choice.

After thinking about it, she told Wang Yue that the next time she met Liu Siyu, the boss would sometimes bring Wang Yue with him.

Hearing that this person's surname was Zhou, Wang Yue could probably guess that this person might be related to General Zhou of Youzhou, but he didn't say so, lest Liu Yuru miss the mark.

It's just that before Wang Yue had time to wait for Liu Yuru to give him the news of seeing Boss Zhou, an accident happened unexpectedly.

It turned out that because Boss Zhou lowered the price, the Gu family had to work hard to buy it, so although the quoted price was already very low, there was still a lower bidder, and the bidder was Luo Zishang. .

After Liu Yuru received the news, she was very depressed, and she said to Wang Yue very unhappy, "What the hell is this Luo Zishang doing? The price he offered is basically not profitable. What is he doing for What?"

When Wang Yue heard this, he felt a little unbelievable. He murmured in his heart that this could not be that Luo Zishang was singing a double reed with Boss Zhou, or he was deliberately giving Youzhou a chance to get supplies cheaply.

After all, the timing was too coincidental, Luo Zishang arrived in Yangzhou first, and Boss Zhou rushed over from Youzhou.

Thinking of the good relationship between Luo Zishang and the governor of Yangzhou, Wang Yue wondered, did this person bet on both sides, or did he receive orders from Youzhou Fanxuan?

Thinking of this, Wang Yue kept his composure and pretended to be very casual and said, "I received news that Luo Zishang had contact with the governor of Yangzhou. I think this guy wants to establish a good relationship with Youzhou for the governor of Yangzhou. After all This is very much in line with the strategy of the outer suburbs attack."

When Liu Yuru heard this, she was very dissatisfied. She said indignantly, "Then Luo Zishang is actually related to that Wang Shanquan? How did you know?"

Seeing that Liu Yuru was confused, Wang Yue explained to him the situation of his investigation, and then deliberately said, "I found out that the information is accurate. However, the Gu family did not plan to make any money from this order. They may If you don’t want profit, you will accept this order, so don’t worry at all. Of course, if you are not at ease, you can also tell Boss Zhou about the relationship between Luo Zisang and the governor of Yangzhou, and see how he reacts and how to choose.”

Liu Yuru didn't know Wang Yue's intentions. When she heard what Wang Yue said, she rolled her eyes, and quickly pulled Wang Yue and said, "How about this? I'll let Siyu take Gu Jiusi with me, and then you and Gu Jiusi will go meet that Boss Zhou, it's more convenient for you men to talk about some important military affairs together."

Wang Yuezheng had this intention, so he agreed to Liu Yuru very face-saving, and suggested that he arrange the meeting place at his home.

The reason why he arranged this way was also to give Wang Shanquan the illusion that Qingzhou and Youzhou were very closely related.

If Luo Zishang was from Youzhou, he would definitely tell Wang Shanquan about it. If Luo Zishang was not from Youzhou, it would be hard to say.

Liu Yuru didn't understand these tricks. She saw that Wang Yue's words made sense. After all, such a big yard, just the two of them, was too convenient for entertaining guests.

So, she quickly arranged for someone to notify Liu Siyu, and asked the couple to come to the house as guests first, and then sent someone to deliver a letter to Boss Zhou.

It didn't take long for Liu Siyu and Gu Jiusi to rush over after receiving the letter.After they came, they were a little confused and didn't know what to tell them to come.

Liu Yuru didn't hesitate either, so she told them about the relationship between Luo Zishang and Wang Shanquan, and then she said with a smile, "With this news, the boss will definitely make a choice that week, Ah Yue Having said that, no matter which choice Boss Zhou chooses, he can let the Gu family know what to do next?"

Although Liu Siyu is good at housekeeping, she really doesn't understand military affairs. She was a little puzzled when Liu Yuru said that, and then looked at Gu Jiusi.

Seeing that his wife was confused, Gu Jiusi said bluntly, "If Boss Zhou knew that Luo Zishang represented the governor of Yangzhou and wanted to cooperate with Luo Zishang, then we, the Gu family, would have to give up Youzhou and choose Qingzhou Yes. If Boss Zhou is unwilling to cooperate with Luo Zishang, then our Zhou family should not make any profit, and even pay some money to build a good relationship with Boss Zhou."

When Gu Jiusi said this, Liu Siyu immediately understood. She sighed and said, "My mother-in-law told me before that you don't need to make profits for customers in Youzhou, but I didn't expect to think of getting together with my husband."

Liu Yuru was also relieved to see the harmony between the two of them, she was really afraid that her best friend would be unhappy.

While the four were chatting, the concierge soon led two people in. The young man in the lead was very strong, and Wang Yue knew at a glance that he was a general.

Seeing the two coming, Liu Yuru quickly and politely introduced them, "You are here, let me introduce you, this is my husband Wang Yue, this is Mrs. Gu's husband Gu Da Young Master, Husband, Young Master Gu, this is Boss Zhou."

After listening to Liu Yuru finished speaking, Liu Siyu greeted Boss Zhou first, and then Wang Yue, Gu Jiusi and Boss Zhou got to know each other.

Boss Zhou was not polite after the greetings. After sitting down, he sat down between Wang Yue and Gu Jiusi, and then he asked curiously, "I don't know why Mrs. Gu and Mrs. Wang invited me here? "

Without waiting for Liu Yuru to answer, Wang Yue explained with a smile, "That's right. I heard from my wife that you are discussing business with Luozi. I just have some news here, so I want to tell you."

After hearing Wang Yue's words, Boss Zhou asked cautiously, "What are you talking about?"

Wang Yue waved his hand indifferently, and then said seriously, "My subordinates have seen that Luo Zishang often contacts the governor of Yangzhou. He wants to come to Boss Zhou to buy military supplies for Youzhou. He should understand the seriousness of this."

Hearing Wang Yue's words, Boss Zhou turned pale with shock, and asked a little vigilantly, "Is what Mr. Wang said true?"

Seeing that Boss Zhou didn't look like he was acting, Wang Yue muttered in his heart, did he guess wrong?

However, this is not certain, after all, it is also possible that Fan Xuan sent two people to Yangzhou respectively?

So, he pretended to be serious and said, "Of course it's true, and I don't need to lie to you. If you don't believe it, you can interview him in person."

After hearing Wang Yue's words, Boss Zhou immediately raised his doubts, "How did you find out such mysterious news?"

Wang Yue shrugged, and casually threw out a bomb, "It's very simple, I sent someone to follow Luo Zishang, and found out this terrible information by accident. I heard that Boss Zhou is quite an upright person, so I I just let you know."

Boss Zhou saw that Wang Yue was so sure, so he asked with some doubts, "You sent someone to follow Luo Zishang? You know, this is Yangzhou City. Can you hide it from the governor of Yangzhou?"

Wang Yue saw that Boss Zhou doubted himself, and he didn't know whether this person was afraid that Luo Zishang would reveal his secrets, or because he was so shocked that he couldn't believe it.

He pretended to be a little angry, and his voice became indifferent, and said coldly, "Not everyone is like Boss Zhou. Even who his trading partner is and who he has contact with, he doesn't check it. If you want to do business, you really have a lot of money."

Boss Zhou was stunned for a moment. Although he was also in business, he was mainly good at fighting and killing. He only wanted to be honest when doing business. After all, no one had dared to lie to him before, but he really didn't expect that doing business would require more money. Check the other person's background.

He didn't think it was necessary before, but after hearing what Wang Yue said, it seemed necessary!
He was not the kind of person who would not listen to persuasion, so he quickly bowed to Wang Yue, and then said seriously, "Thank you, Mr. Wang, for your reminder, Mr. Zhou has been taught."

Wang Yue gave a little help indifferently, and then said with a smile, "It's nothing, it's just that our family is also doing business with the Gu family, but I didn't expect that you in Youzhou would want to stagger the Gu family and find another family to do business. Madame is going to be heartbroken!"

Boss Zhou smiled, and said helplessly, "I also know that the Gu family intends to move to our Youzhou, but many businessmen and aristocratic families are really unreliable."

Of course Wang Yue knew this, otherwise, there would not be a century-old dynasty or a thousand-year family.

He didn't want to continue discussing this, so he said casually, "Anyway, if some businessmen go to Youzhou, they will bring you huge taxes and promote local prosperity. Anyway, we in Qingzhou really want to let the Gu family Moved, but Mrs. Gu felt that Boss Gu knew you, the governor of Youzhou, so she chose to go to Youzhou."

After hearing Wang Yue's complaints, Gu Jiusi quickly smiled and said, "Our Gu family is going to arrange for a few businesses to move to Qingzhou, and we will also build another courtyard in Qingzhou at that time. It doesn't mean that they will all move to Youzhou. Wang Gongzi take care of one or two."

Wang Yue was a little surprised, he didn't expect that the Gu family finally figured it out, so he said happily, "That's really great, in the future, the delivery of goods can be directly handed over to your Gu family, and we don't have to worry about Qingzhou. "

After hearing Wang Yue's words, Liu Siyu asked with some doubts, "Aren't you planning to build your own trade routes in Qingzhou?"

Wang Yue sighed, and said helplessly, "The thirteen prefectures of Darong have their own affairs. The ones near Qingzhou are okay, and the farther counties and counties will not let Qingzhou's items be sold so easily. But your Gu family is different. Although Heavy taxes may be levied, but wool comes from sheep, and what is sold is a luxury product, so it would be better to sell it at a higher price.”

Hearing Wang Yue's words, Liu Yuru also sighed a little, and said helplessly, "When will the world be peaceful? Only the common people can live a good life!"

Boss Zhou's face also became heavy, and he said firmly, "A man was born in the world, he should cultivate himself, manage his family, govern the country and the world, so that the people can have enough food and clothing, and don't go to this market once. "

Wang Yue looked at Boss Zhou's upright attitude, and said indifferently, "Boss Zhou's words are a bit funny, so let's not talk about other places, let's just talk about your Youzhou. Youzhou has strong soldiers and horses. The people who are really poor are the common people. Those high-ranking officials and gentry in Youzhou occupy most of the land in Youzhou, but they still don’t have to pay taxes to Youzhou, but let the ordinary people who only occupy a small amount of land pay most of the taxes. This is This is the real reason why you people in Youzhou are poor, if you can take all the land in Youzhou back to the Governor’s Mansion, and the people will give the land according to the head, the people in Youzhou will also be able to eat and wear warmly.”

Hearing Wang Yue's words, Gu Jiusi was stunned for a while, and then said curiously, "How did you come up with this theory? How do you think it makes sense? Just like Yangzhou, most of the land is also in the big gentry family In your hand, the reason why the common people in Yangzhou can eat and wear is entirely because Yangzhou’s commerce and trade are developed. After the city, other places in the countryside are also very poor."

Liu Siyu and his family belonged to the gentry, so she said a little embarrassedly, "Speaking of which, my Liu family also belongs to the gentry. Our family allows the tenants in our family to pay less rent so that they can live better. But most of the gentry don’t have such a good reputation as my family, and the people’s lives may be worse. However, most of the gentry don’t know how to use up their resources. They always want to keep the residents alive and consider long-term solutions. "

Hearing the words of Wang Yue and the three of them, Boss Zhou was also a little touched. Of course he knew that even if there were no governors working independently, the lives of ordinary people would still be so poor.

Wang Yue saw that the boss of Youzhou, Zhou Zhou, was about to be limped, so he immediately added a big thunder. He pretended to look to the west solemnly, and said with some sighs, "Before I came to Yangzhou, I went to Tongguan. I have deep feelings stuck in my heart, but I still don’t know how to express them. Today, everyone talked freely, and I finally have a poem to express my heart.”

When Wang Yue was saying this, a female voice suddenly interjected and said, "What masterpiece does Brother A Yue have? Yun'er came by such a coincidence, I just didn't miss it."

Wang Yue was very speechless. Ye Yun'er often came to their house and lived next door. The guards he brought probably could see the little girl's thoughts, and they didn't stop this girl anymore.

He also asked Ye Yun'er to find a place to sit by herself, and then introduced it to Boss Zhou, and then under everyone's urging, he read Tong Care Gu word by word,
"The peaks and ridges are like clusters, the waves are like anger, and the mountains and rivers are outside and inside the Tongguan Road. Looking at the western capital, I hesitate, and I am sad. Where the Qin and Han Dynasties traveled, thousands of palaces and palaces have been turned into soil. Prosperity, the people suffer; death, the people suffer."
