Chapter 808
In fact, Zhu Shou and Wang Jian didn't come much later than Feilong. They saw Lin De, Shen Hao and Feilong seemed to be talking about something on the porch, so it was difficult to get close. They waited for Feilong to leave before they hurriedly stepped forward to say hello.
"I've met Mr. Shen."
Fortunately, Wang Jian saw Shen Hao often, and he was the number one confidant in front of Shen Hao's family. The relationship between the two was unusual, so Wang Jian was more natural in front of Shen Hao and would not be too restrained.
But Zhu Shou is different, although he is considered a big boss in Fengri City, he is still far from enough in front of Mr. Shen. What's more, now he has noticed from some attitudes of the crown prince recently that there may be major changes in the senior management of the Jingjiu Dynasty. The door closed by the aristocratic family and the powerful in the past may be opened again, so he has the idea of promotion.
But relying on himself alone is far from enough, Zhu Shou needs to rely on Xuan Qingwei's strength to help himself.
If you want something, your mental attitude will naturally become different. Moreover, Zhu Shou has status in Xuanqing Guard, he can be regarded as Shen Hao's subordinate, so he is more respectful.
"Come on? Let's go back and have a drink or two. I just had a few conversations with Feilong and wasted some time." Shen Hao sprinkled another handful of fish food into the pool, then turned around and left the gazebo.
By the time the three of them returned to the main room, the mat inside had already been prepared.
There are not many dishes, but the portions are sufficient, and the taste is all Shen Hao likes. One or two new dishes were also placed in front of the main seat. If Shen Hao likes a certain new dish this time, then the chef will find a chance to serve it again next time. Anyway, he wants to get familiar with Mr. Shen's taste.
The people in the house, including the gardener in charge of the flower garden, were all recruited by Heishui, and everyone was controlled by Heishui to death. So you don't have to worry about being spread outside when you have a small gathering in the house.
After the servants served the food, they left the main room, and there were only three people left in the room, each serving food and drinking.
"The military affairs in the south will come to a conclusion in the next few days. Judging from Zuo Yuliang's offensive, the chances of winning are very high. Therefore, the south will also undergo a change in strategy first, and start a series of actions to prepare for the end of the war. Your teeth Xing, has there been any rumors recently?"
After the three rounds of wine, Shen Hao asked Zhu Shou directly. He knew that the tooth shop was closely connected with the major slave caravans, and the slave caravans each had a lot of connections in the frontier army. The news was the first. Hands, it shouldn't be much slower than Xuan Qingwei. Now there should be a calculation.
Zhu Shou's face turned bitter when he heard the words, he put down his chopsticks, and said depressedly: "My lord, what you said is reasonable, but now the turmoil in the imperial city has just settled, the Crown Prince Shu is in control of the power, and the major slave caravans associated with Yahang are here Before this, there was no contact with Crown Prince Shu at all, and the many conveniences he could get by relying on the relationship with the frontier army had been cut off a long time ago. Zuo Yuliang ignored them at all, and even the official documents of Yahang were all lost.
They made up their minds to wait until the crown prince ascended the throne before making any plans. They don't care about government-run places like dental offices. Besides, those slave caravans used to be backed by imperial merchants, and there were also members of the princes, but now they are all moons in the water. "
Shen Hao was a little surprised when he said this. But after thinking about it for a while, he felt that it made sense.
The result of the "big test" of the royal family was that Yang Shu came to power, and the other six princes were killed. And Yang Shu happened to be a prince who was not favored by most people before. Not to mention fat and oily places like slave caravans and tooth shops, even the officials in the local yamen only maintained basic etiquette with Yang Shu, and never thought of getting close to him.
This is equivalent to going to the gambling table to press heavy treasures, but the result is wrong. It is not enough to get nothing, and you may lose a bachelor.
"Now His Majesty is in a state of seclusion, and the East Palace is taking care of major and minor matters. Earlier, the Ministry of War formulated a military action plan for the complete extermination of the barbarians. It attached detailed steps and a rough estimate of military expenses. As a result, His Majesty did not." It was directly pushed to Donggong.
As you know, what is the way of the crown prince? After a little calculation, he thinks that it is not worthwhile to completely wipe out the barbarians, and there will also be troubles left behind. So your dental shop is about to have big business this time. "
Shen Hao didn't say anything thoroughly, the military strategy in the south is a secret, and what he said to Zhu Shou now is already a leak. And it was enough for Zhu Shou to know about this matter.
Zhu Shou's eyes lit up, and he said eagerly, "My lord, do you mean that the frontier army will start selling barbarian prisoners?"
"Captives? The frontier army probably has no prisoners now. Hundreds of thousands of troops are nervous about eating and drinking by themselves. Where will the surplus food be consumed by the prisoners? I'm talking about the future. If the decisive battle is won, then the last piece of private land of the barbarians will also become Jing In the racecourse of the old dynasty, there are many people from various ethnic groups gathered by the barbarians before, and many of them are popular products in your tooth shop. For example, the fox clan, cat clan, rabbit clan, and horse clan."
Perhaps out of habit, Zhu Shou couldn't sit still when he heard Shen Hao say that. He rubbed his hands and said with a smile, "My lord, there are horses?"
"Well! Yes, there are not only horse tribes but also deer tribes. I saw many people when I was on the front line. How about it, is it a profitable business?"
Zhu Shou nodded repeatedly. Compared with foxes, cats or rabbits, male horses are the rarest and most sought-after barbarians. After the dental training, the male horse tribe can bring out their racial specialties to the extreme, and they are the favorite and most sought after slaves of a large number of female customers. Even because of the rarity and hidden trade, the price of a horse slave is often ten times that of a fox girl, or even higher, and there is no market for it.
"Yes, yes, but it's not easy for adults to rely on dentistry alone." Zhu Shou's hands were itchy, but he was not dizzy. Yaxing has always been the sales end of the slave business in the Jingjiu Dynasty, and basically did not get involved in the front-end business of slave capture, transportation, etc., so I dare not express my opinion to Mr. Shen immediately.
"Slave caravans are also a business for money. Haven't you thought about eating from the beginning to the end? Or do you think you can't handle it?" Shen Hao picked up a piece of roasted fish for himself. It was spicy and sour enough to suit his taste. .
Zhu Shou heard something, and tentatively said: "My lord, you mean to let me set up a slave caravan? I have never done this kind of stall before."
It's not that Zhu Shou is shirking, nor is it that he can't see the benefits in it, but Zhu Shou understands that Shen Hao's move must have other meanings, and it is definitely not simply to guide them to make money. The benefits and risks are definitely equal, and he doesn't want to be confused. He was pushed to the front desk by Shen Hao.
So compared to people like Wang Jian and Fei Long, Zhu Shou's mind is also the most cautious. He doesn't care about guessing Shen Hao with the worst idea, and never believes that Shen Hao will benefit him for no reason. Of course, Zhu Shou didn't think that Shen Hao would try his best to harm him, after all, he and Shen Hao were on the same boat now.
