Datang: Huchi served as a bodyguard, but refused to enter the court as an official

As for how many nasty conspiracies and intrigues there are in private, no one knows.

Zhu Daoru, as a junior, brought refreshments to the two patriarchs himself, and stood aside to serve them with his head bowed.

Gu Chengdao took a sip of tea and said, "It's been nearly ten years, and I haven't seen brother Zihong show up."

The head of the Zhu family covered his mouth and coughed a few times.

"This old bone has a few years to live. If you live in seclusion, you may be able to prolong your life for a few years."

Zhang Yong is the youngest among the three Patriarchs.

This year, it is less than 50 years old.

He stroked the short beard on his chin, and said: "I heard that Mr. Zihong has studied Taoism in recent years, has he made any achievements?"

Zhu Zihong glanced at Zhang Yong expressionlessly, and said indifferently: "Taoism is in the heart, and it is not by making achievements that you can get a glimpse of the samadhi."

He was too lazy to play forward.

He took out a piece of paper from his pocket and slapped it on the table.

Gu Chengdao and Zhang Yong glanced at it, and their expressions changed slightly.

On the table, it was a bill!

Gu Chengdao forced a smile, and said, "Brother Zihong means that you plan to take a stake in the Liu family's business?"

Zhu Zihong remained expressionless.

"The Liu family is very powerful, and my Zhu family claims to be powerless to fight back. Even if Liu Bai doesn't return the money, the old man will accept it!"

Zhang Yong stretched his neck, glanced at the amount on the bill, and his expression became even uglier.

"200 million guan, Mr. Zihong is such a big hand! My Zhang family is far behind."

Gu Chengdao's eyesight is not good, after hearing Zhang Yong's words, he realized that the Zhu family was willing to pay 200 million guan!

This amount has been the income of his Gu family for several years.

Take it, you can take it out, but it will definitely hurt your muscles and bones.

If Liu Bai really refused to pay back the money, the life of the Gu family would be difficult in the future.

With the Zhu family in front, even if they paid the money, it was impossible for them to pay less than 200 million yuan.

Even if it's a penny lower, it's possible to be targeted by Liu Bai because of this slight gap!

In that case, it's better not to spend a penny

They were all old foxes, and they could tell what kind of medicine was sold in Liu Bai's big gourd.

The two of them even knew Zhu Zihong's plan!

If you give out silver, just give out one piece!

Whoever does not come out will be in bad luck!

Zhu Zihong is forcing them to advance and retreat with the Zhu family!

Zhu Daoru secretly called out to his father.

Only the vixen among the group of old foxes can come up with this method.

Gu Chengdao could hold his breath.

For such a long time, there was no news of the sea bear, so don't think about it, it must have been caught by Liu Bai's men.

A big deal fell into Liu Bai's hands, and the Gu family had only two paths.

Either completely surrender, or completely tear your skin apart.

The method of hypocrisy and obedience is of no use to the Gu family.

Zhang Yong couldn't hold his breath anymore.

Although their family also supported pirates, they were nothing more than little people.

Even if Liu Bai spread the news that the Zhang family kept pirates, Zhang Yong could definitely push out the offspring of the family as scapegoats.

In this way, it is even more difficult for him to choose.

For the Zhang family, it is the best way to follow Liu Baixu and submit to the snake.

One day can be delayed.

Or, take out a small amount of silver first, and make Liu Bai happy.

After all, it is not possible to tear up the face with Liu Bai immediately.

"Mr. Zihong, isn't 200 million crowns a bit much?"

Hearing this sentence, Zhu Zihong smiled.

"It's only 200 million guan, the Zhu family can afford it!"

Zhang Yong scolded this bastard in his heart.

Every day they clamored that the Chinese people in the south of the Yangtze River would advance and retreat together, and the most powerful Zhu family turned around and sold them out!

"You might as well take out 50 coins first. If the Liu family's business is profitable, Mr. Zihong will continue to invest in it."

Zhang Yong said with a smile.

As for the 50 guan, I still have to grit my teeth and say it.

The situation of the Zhang family is the worst among the four major Chinese families in the south of the Yangtze River.

Zhu Zihong said with a smile: "My brother sent a letter from Chang'an, saying that the Liu family has moved more than [-]% of their property to Jiangnan. This is the only chance. If you want to invest in money after earning money, it depends on the face of the Liu family." , on the contrary, it is better to vote in place once, and save a lot of trouble in the future."

Gu Chengdao and Zhang Yong attached great importance to Zhu Zihong's younger brother.

Zhu Zihong's younger brother is named Zhu Zishe.

It can be said that he is the most official among all the children of the Jiangnan Chinese except the Lu family.

During the former Sui Dynasty, Zhu Zishe was Yang Guang's direct secretary and bachelor.

The world was in chaos, and he abandoned his official position to follow Du Fuwei.

Later, when Du Fuwei entered the Tang Dynasty, Zhu Zishe also changed himself and became an official of the Tang Dynasty.

Now, the officials have been exhausted to the point of advising the doctor.

On the surface, he is just a fifth-rank official, but in fact he is the most noble among the nobles.

Because several of today's bigwigs from the three provinces have all been admonishing doctors.

Being able to become a noble official under the oppression of the Guanlong nobles, the Hedong aristocrats, and the new wealthy families of all parties shows Zhu Zishe's means and ability.

The news from him will not be false.

From this news, Gu Chengdao and Zhang Yong got an answer that was reasonable but unexpected.

It seems that Liu Bai is really short of money.

Property relocation is not the same as selling a business.

For example, in a blacksmith shop, the most important thing is of course the blacksmith himself, but the blacksmith stove is also essential.

When people get better, can the blacksmith stove still follow?

That was bound to be rebuilt.

Other industries are not much different.

After careful calculation, the 50 guan proposed by Zhang Yong is indeed not even a hair.

Showing it to Liu Bai is more like insulting him

Gu Chengdao said cautiously: "Mr. Zihong means"

The effect of moving Zhu Zishe out is very good.

The Gu family and the Zhang family already have the meaning that the Zhu family is the only one to follow.

"The old man's meaning is very simple. Since you want to vote, you can invest as much as you want. You have to feed the prince for six or seven cents. The 200 million coins are just the first money. After one or two turnovers, the old man will pay you a lot. Want to vote twice!"

Chapter 1412 Liu Bai was shocked, this brain supplement is too powerful

Liu Bai got the news at noon the next day while having lunch.

After listening to Lu Dunxin's description, Liu Bai opened his mouth in surprise.

The shrimps caught on the chopsticks all fell off.

He swallowed the last mouthful of rice with difficulty.

"You mean, Zhu Zihong threatened the other companies to borrow the money?"

Lu Dunxin also had a weird face.

"That's exactly what happened."

Liu Bai put down the chopsticks, his scalp was almost scratched, and he didn't want to understand what was going on.

He even asked Mo Xiaoliu to take the roster of Taiji's latent plans over the years. After looking through it for a long time, he didn't find anything related to the Zhu family.

It seems that Zhu Zihong is unlikely to be a hidden person arranged by himself.

That old guy is older than Li Yuan.

Tai Kee has such an old staff?

If not, why did he try so hard to help himself?

For the first time, Liu Bai felt that his head was not enough.

Or, Zhu Zihong is a lunatic at all, and the thoughts in his head can't be guessed by normal people?

"The subordinates think that Zhu Zihong must have missed the point."

Sitting under Liu Bai, Wang Shouren, who was eating just now, seemed to have figured out the key point.

"Eat and chat!"

Liu Bai waved his hand and asked Mo Xiaoliu to serve Lu Dunxin a meal.

After thanking Lu Dunxin with his hand, he sat down and looked at Wang Shouren.

He was more puzzled than Liu Bai!

Since he became the governor of Wu County, he has fought against these three giants more than once.

Experience told him that Zhu Zihong from the Zhu family is an old fox who is more difficult to deal with than Gu Chengdao!

Even if the old fox misses, it is impossible for him to make such a big mistake.

It was as if a fat chicken plucked all its hair, jumped into the water to wash it clean, and even ran into the pot on its own initiative, and stuffed its stomach with green onions, ginger and garlic.

After it was fully cooked, he told Liu Bai, "Eat me quickly!" '

Liu Bai also looked at Wang Shouren.

He always felt that there was something strange about it, but the key points were not right.

If Zhu Zihong really made this foolish trick, then can I sell him a stretcher?

Wang Shouren made up his mind and said: "We all know that the young master's move is to use the gold and silver of various ethnic groups in the south of the Yangtze River as the basis, so that the treasures of the Tang Dynasty will be the first to circulate in Suzhou City, and further leverage the economy of the south of the Yangtze River. It is what the young master called financial leverage."

Liu Bai nodded.

Although Lu Dunxin didn't know what the so-called 'financial leverage' was, he knew what Liu Bai's next plan was, so he could hear it pretty closely.

Wang Shouren continued: "Such a whimsical idea can only come from the hands of the young master. To us, it is perfectly normal, but to Zhu Zihong and others, it is completely different."

He put a pair of chopsticks, a cup, and a small saucer at the front of the table.

"This is the three families of Zhu, Gu, and Zhang. Only when the three families get together can they enjoy a complete meal. Without chopsticks, you can only grab it with your hands. Without a cup, if the meal is rough, you will inevitably choke to death." , Therefore, the only way for these three companies to advance and retreat together!"

Wang Shouren's example is very appropriate.

Jiangnan is different from Chang'an.

These few of them have almost no political power to speak of.

Huddle together to keep warm in order to survive forever.
