Chapter 278 Xi'an Counselor, Zhi'an!

Chapter 278

"Hehe, it's not a business. I want to buy a piece of land in Jiannan."

Wang Chong laughed.

"where?"

Zhangchou Jianqiong asked curiously.

"Lion Rock!"

Wang Chong said.

Hearing Wang Chong's words, Zhangchou Jianqiong, Xianyu Zhongtong, and the other Southwest generals all looked at each other in blank dismay. Originally thought that Wang Chong wanted to buy a piece of real estate in the prosperous area of ​​Annan. But I didn't expect it to be there.

"My lord, are you sure? The Lion Mountain area is barren. It is only those who go to Caierhai to do business will occasionally pass by. Normally, there is no one there for tens of miles!"

Fresh in Zhongtong.

They are from the Annan Protectorate, and they are very familiar with the situation south of the Jiange. The so-called Lion Mountain sounds majestic, but it is actually just an obscure hill.

This kind of place is inaccessible and close to the edge of the Annan Protectorate's control, so it can be said that it is worthless at all.

Xianyu Zhongtong really couldn't see why the noble son of the prime minister bought such a small hill

"Hehe, I heard from a friend that the business on the Ancient Tea-Horse Road is good. I want to build a base there, where I can rest and stockpile goods. This will also facilitate meddling in the business of the Ancient Tea-Horse Road."

Wang Chong said.

"Hehe, that's how it is. The Ancient Tea Horse Road is indeed very profitable. It's no wonder that you want to get involved."

Zhangchou Jianqiong nodded with a clear face. The Ancient Tea-Horse Road is actually a business of tea from Erhai Lake, horses from Uszang, and animal husbandry, and there is still a lot of profit in it.

Among the big families in Jiannan, at least seven or eight out of ten have this kind of industry. It is not surprising that the Wang family wants to intervene.

"Zhongtong, after you go back to this matter, you can find a way to help the prince immediately."

Zhangchou Jianqiong was talking about the Xianyuzhong passage on the opposite side.

"yes,

Handle it immediately after the subordinates go back. "

Xian Yuzhong said in a respectful voice.

A lion mountain is not worth a lot of money, and Xianyu Zhongtong also understands that this is the initiative of the guardian to help him lead the line of the Wang family.

In the matter of succeeding the Annan Grand Protector, he still needs a lot of help from the Wang family.

"Hehe, Mr. Chong, I will give you this token. If you are going to Annan in the future, this token may be of great convenience to you."

After Zhangchou Jianqiong gave Xianyu Zhongtong an order, he flicked his finger lightly, and flicked a golden token in front of Wang Chong.

"Thank you, my lord!"

Wang Chong was overjoyed. This is an unexpected harvest, that is, to receive the Lion Mountain, and to get his personal token from Zhangchou Jianqiong.

During this ten-day trip to the restaurant, Wang Chong got the two things he wanted the most, which can be described as perfect.

"Whoa! What can be done has been done, do your best, and the rest depends on luck."

Wang Chong heaved a long sigh of relief in his heart, and his whole body felt much more relaxed.

Lion Rock is a small mountain on the southern border of Datang.

Wang Chong wanted to buy that hill, of course it was not for business. Although the tea-horse road's profits were good, it was not attractive to Wang Chong.

No matter how big the profit of tea is, it cannot compare with the profit brought by Hyderabad ore, not to mention that there are so many people sharing a share of it.

Wang Chong wanted Shizi Mountain because of its geographical location.

To the west of Lion Mountain, there is Yimapingchuan, which will be the battlefield in the southwest of the empire in the future. Wang Chong checked the topographic map of the sand table of the Ministry of War, and found that the entire area, with a range of hundreds of miles, did not have any natural dangers to guard against.

And Lion Mountain... is the only obstacle in that area.

Wang Chong didn't buy Lion Mountain to build a base. But to build a city, an unprecedented huge city!

A barrier that can provide shelter for 180,000 elite soldiers of the Tang Dynasty at critical moments when the battle situation is extremely bad!

Such a barrier will inevitably cost a lot of money, not ten thousand, nor tens of thousands, or one hundred thousand, but millions of gold, not even enough.

But no matter how much it will cost in the future, Wang Chong doesn't care.

Wang Chong's hoarding of gold for a long time is not without purpose. The future Lion City is also the only thing he can do for the future battlefield.

The Goguryeo people served food very quickly, perhaps because the knife rested on their necks, or because they knew that as long as Zhangchou Jianqiong said a word, everyone in the vicinity would be killed.

In short, it only took a while, and a large table full of delicious dishes was served immediately. When all the maids delivering food came up, they all lowered their heads, their shoulders and arms trembling.

However, whether it was the southwestern generals in the pavilion or Wang Chong, they all ignored them and only regarded them as the most ordinary maids.

"Hehe, I heard that Mr. Chong is interested in Zhang Qiantuo and Zhang Taishou?"

While eating, Zhangchou Jianqiong suddenly mentioned something.

"yes."

Wang Chong didn't deny it, and glanced at Yang Zhao who was opposite him. The latter smiled awkwardly, and quickly turned his head aside.

Wang Chong knew this matter without asking, it must be Yang Zhao's skill. It was only mentioned to him himself.

"Hehe, that one is Qiantuo!"

Zhangchou Jianqiong suddenly pointed to the end of the long banquet table, a man with five big and three thick, who was eating food alone, obviously a bit out of place and said.

"Master Protector!"

The man raised his head and looked at Zhangchou Jianqiong with a blank expression on his face. Obviously didn't hear what he just said.

"It's him!"

Wang Chong was greatly surprised.

In the Tang Dynasty, the government and the military were divided into separate regimes, and Zhang Qiantuo was the prefect with great independence. Although it is more or less subject to the restraint of the Protectorate, it is far from that big.

Wang Chong did not expect that the big man sitting at the end of the table and eating food alone was actually Zhang Qiantuo. Smiling, Wang Chong quickly looked away.

"Let's talk to him next time."

Wang Chong secretly said in his heart.

Although he really wanted to talk to him, Wang Chong knew very well that this time, place, and occasion were definitely not a good time to meet.

After staying in the Ten Sun Restaurant for a while, Wang Chong left there with his uncle Wang Gen.

"Chong'er, what are you thinking? Didn't I tell you? The matter of Zhangchou Jianqiong must not get involved too deeply."

After leaving the Ten Sun Restaurant, Wang Gen finally frowned deeply. There were so many people in the restaurant, it was hard to say, but after leaving the restaurant, Wang Gen couldn't bear it anymore.

Zhangchou Jianqiong is the protector of the empire, this level is too high.

If he succeeds, the Wang family will not benefit. If he fails, if the Wang family is too deeply involved, there will be a lot of harm but no benefit.

Politics is extremely dangerous.

Those people will never ignore Wang Chong just because he is a child. To outsiders, Wang Chong actually represents the Wang family.

"Uncle, do you remember my father?"

Wang Chong raised his head.

"upright?"

Wang Gen was startled, with a look of surprise on his face, "Is this related to him?"

"Um."

Wang Chong nodded, "Uncle, do you still remember the matter that His Royal Highness King Song recommended my father to be a Marquis?"

Wang Gen nodded.

"Although my father was recommended by the King of Song, his qualifications are still too low. In addition, the Ministry of War has transferred my father and elder brother to Jiannan, which is very close to the Annan Governor's Mansion. Without Zhangchou Jianqiong's help."

Wang Chong said.

He received news not long ago that his father and elder brother had already taken them to the vicinity of Jiannan. Although the process was tortuous and time-consuming.

But Song Wang still succeeded in transferring his father and eldest brother according to what he said.

"I see!"

Sure enough, upon hearing what Wang Chong said, Wang Gen nodded thoughtfully. If it is for the sake of the third brother, it is acceptable.

After boarding the carriage, Uncle Wang Gen drove away quickly.

As for the Ten Sun Restaurant, after Wang Gen and Wang Chong left, they bid farewell to the officials, and only the southwestern generals were left in the pavilion.

"Zhi An, what do you think?"

There were no outsiders around, Zhangchou Jianqiong suddenly turned his head and looked solemnly at the middle-aged counselor with a mustache at his elbow.

"That kid, you're lying!"

The middle-aged counselor known as Zhi'an suddenly smiled, picked up the wine glass on the table, and drank it down in one gulp.

"ah?"

Zhangchou Jianqiong was startled, with a look of surprise on his face. He originally wanted to ask about Wang Gen, but unexpectedly "Zhi An" mentioned Wang Chong.

"Hehe~, my lord still thinks that the key figure of the Wang clan is Wang Gen?"

Zhi'an put down his wine glass and smiled, with an unpredictable expression on his face.

"Is not it?"

Zhangchou Jianqiong said unexpectedly.

"Your Excellency is a fan of those who entered the game! Master Yang Zhaoyang, let me ask you, you have been secretly looking for Wang Gen before, did he agree to come forward?"

Zhi'an turned his head to look at Yang Zhao who was on the side.

"Not really."

Yang Zhao said honestly. He had stayed in Jiannan before, so he deeply knew the position of this person beside Zhangchou Jianqiong, so he didn't dare to be careless at all.

"Then when did Wang Gen stand up? Was it after you found Mr. Chong?"

Zhi An stroked his beard and smiled again.

"This... seems to be it!"

Yang Zhao showed a look of reminiscence, but he still didn't understand what the military adviser meant by asking this question.

"Haha, don't you understand? The key to this matter is not Wang Gen, but the fifteen-year-old child."

Zhi An laughed, and there was an indescribable meaning in the smile:

"And didn't you see the banquet just now? When Mr. Chong asked Mr. Protectorate for the gold medal, Mr. Wang Gen was obviously unwilling. But he not only didn't stop him, he didn't even say anything. Take a moment. I have investigated it before, and this Lord Wang was known for being strict in the past. He clearly sensed something was wrong, but he did nothing to stop it. Are these... not enough to explain the problem?"

"You mean, that child is the soul of the Wang family?"

Zhangchou Jianqiong couldn't hide his surprise in his eyes.

"Hehe, even if it's not, it's about the same. At least, that's what Wang Gen Wang thinks in his heart. It's no accident, that Mr. Chong is the future head of the Wang family. If the Du Hu wants to gain a firm foothold in the capital, he will still Get closer to that Young Master Chong."

Zhi An smiled slightly.

Throughout the banquet, he spoke very little. Even compared to those little officials invited to those banquets, they have no sense of existence.

But after Wang Chong left, the power class in the pavilion immediately showed clearly that apart from Zhangchou Jianqiong, this Zhi'an was the real No. 2 figure in the Southwest Protectorate's Mansion.

Even higher than Xianyu Zhongtong's status.

"Didn't this Chong'er ask us for something just now? My lord, this is an excellent opportunity!"

Zhi An leaned back slightly, and said with a lazy smile.

"Got it, I know what to do."

Zhangchou Jianqiong was silent for a moment, and finally nodded.
