Chapter 2030 Successful Instigation
"Well, what's the matter with you? Didn't you talk very smoothly just now? Why haven't you been talking for a while now? Is it because I don't want to agree to this matter? Our Cao's Commercial Bank is not the same now. I completely ask you, we also have our own way, if you don't agree, then we will take some measures, such as forcing a civilian ship to come out to help me complete these things, your ship is also with us It’s just that no one is as good-tempered as I am when the time comes, and we’ll discuss it with you here, we may have more violent means waiting for you, for example, those pirates in the past may Appear, I heard that they also need some places to use ships recently, do you know how these pirates do things? This guy wandered around the room and said, looking at a vase on the table is not bad, just take it Get up, this thing is very precious, it is something from hundreds of years ago, if it is sold, it will cost tens of thousands of taels of silver.
The person in charge of the Eastern Empire looked at the vase in his hand, and his heart was bleeding. This guy shouldn't touch that thing casually. On the surface, it looks like something from hundreds of years ago, but in fact, he has hired an expert for this thing. I helped to make it. The surface is hundreds of years old, but in fact it is thousands of years old. If it is really sold, 500,000 silver is absolutely no problem. If you just give it all at once I was broken, and he lost a lot in my matter. I really have no way to answer the request he made. Should I tell him that this request is okay? If that's the case, if I bring it up by myself, I guess my head will be gone. The Eastern Empire would not agree to such a thing, but he agreed to such a thing. The imperial government might pull him out. After thinking about it, he couldn't find a way to maintain the past on both sides. How should he answer? This person is now his biggest problem.
You are considered an official, what's the matter, we are also gentlemen, aren't we? Don't mess around with things like girls, what do you really want? Just ask if you can help me. If you can, I will treat you to dinner tonight, and we will all be happy. If you can't help... how about if this guy didn't finish his sentence and couldn't help? Then he let go of the vase a little bit, and it fell to the ground. The 500,000 silver was gone, but he couldn't get angry yet. The person in charge of the Eastern Empire looked at the fragments of the vase on the ground. My heart is going to be broken, mother, I usually don't like other things, I just like to play with some of these things. Some of the art in ancient times is beyond what you can imagine now. You just smashed the things left over from that era, but breaking one piece is less. Why do you not know how to cherish it? The expression on your face is very painful, but you still dare not say it out of your mouth.
For this matter, it is actually not that simple. Although I seem to be in charge of these teams, I am not actually like this. Even if I master these teams, I cannot order them to change their routes. Their orders are issued by the central government of our empire. I am here That is to count the goods and provide them with some supplies. I really can't decide other things. Brother, why don't you go back and let me think for a while. I will also send the following notice to the people above me to see them What exactly does that mean? I really can't be the master. If I can be the master, I will do it for you immediately. He thought for a while and said, although the words are very beautiful, are the people of Cao's firm so easily fooled by you? They wouldn't come to this place if they were so easily fooled by you,
The guard looked directly at the fat man in front of him, and it was absolutely impossible to delay this matter.
Hehe, what to do is your own business. If you want to solve it, please promise me. If you don’t want to solve it, I have a lot of things here, and I don’t have so much time to waste with you here. If If you have wasted my time and haven't done my work well in the end, then I don't think this matter is a small matter. Since it is not a small matter, there will be more senior people from our Cao's firm to solve it, and you Knowing the issue of the appearance fee, I came out to solve it. It was nothing wrong? If someone who is more senior than me comes out, what he may ask is not these. For example, it is possible to double our conditions, or even double them. They don’t care if you can do it or not? Otherwise, when the pirates come, our Cao’s House of Commerce will not be responsible for protecting you. We will decide whether to agree to our current conditions and suffer heavy losses, or if the pirates come, the losses will be heavy. The guards did not lose their temper, but continued. I'm looking for his target in the house, how about breaking it slowly?
The official shouted helplessly in his heart, this is simply a rascal, how could there be such a person? If I had known this earlier, I wouldn't have come to be this official? He also thought that when he took this position, the people from Cao's House would definitely come to make things difficult for him. He didn't expect that the people from Cao's House would directly come up with a naked threat, without even a bit of conspiracy. Why? This is because Cao's House of Merchant simply looks down on your Eastern Empire. There is no need to play tricks. Even if you want to play tricks, people like you are not qualified enough. There is no need for us to use lies to perfuse you. We just use This is enough, that is to ask your ship to help us transport things, and our ships to help you transport things. On the surface, this is a simple exchange of transportation, but in fact it is not like that, Dong Most of the secrets of the empire will be revealed, and the Cao family firm will gain greater benefits, even greater than the benefits gained in the last war.
Sir, can you see the time like this? You really have to allow me to think about it for two or three days, don't think I'm an official here, but I can't make the decision at all in such a matter, let alone whether these crew members listen to me, even if it is me If I really do this, the people above will kill me. You see, we are friends today. Do you really have the heart to let my head fall to the ground? You can't do that either, can you? This guy said with a crying face, the truth of the matter is the same as what he said, if he really agreed to this matter, the Eastern Empire will look at his head, that is for sure, it is not why many people in the Cao's Commercial Bank care about you What happened to your head? What they have to do is to do this thing well and complete the tasks assigned by the above. As for your own head, did you find your head? Whether he was hung up and thrown into a kennel has nothing to do with them. Just as he was talking, another thing without himself broke again.
That broken thing is a jade horse on the table, a green jade horse? This kind of thing is very precious, it is many times more precious than the one just now, and it was his family's wealth that he originally wanted to transport away with this ship. No luck now. These fragments are useless when picked up. Of course, if given to ordinary people, these fragments can still be sold for a lot of money. After being processed by some masters in the jewelry store, they can also be made into some relatively small ornaments for sale. But there is absolutely no such price. If you broke two things in a row, you still dare to say that you were careless. My temper as the owner is too good, and the fat man's face has already put away his smile, and he said to the person from Cao's house. Sir, what on earth do you mean by coming today? These two things are enough for several million taels of silver, and we have signed a treaty with your Cao's Commercial Bank.
What the old man said is really useful. Even if the rabbit is in a hurry, it will bite people. Don't look at the fact that the rabbit bites people is not very painful, but if you really ask him to bite, it is not a joke. The guard will wait Looking at the guy in front of him, he got angry. He thought that the vase he just opened would be released, but he didn't expect him to be so well-bred, so he got up and continued to go out with him, and the smile on his face didn't look like it was fake. As if it came from the bottom of my heart, this kind of person scared me, okay, then I will continue to mediate some things, I didn't expect that after the foresight thing was broken, the anger finally came up, and there was no expression on my face. Smile, this is what I need. If you keep using the attitude just now, I really don’t know how to start. Even if it’s to find fault, we have to have some quality. It’s not that we don’t want to investigate such things without quality. What you do, and what you do, you must be reasonable and well-founded. This is entrusted to us by our boss.
What's the matter, our Cao's House of Commerce has indeed signed an agreement with your Eastern Empire, and we are not planning to launch other wars against you, but our Cao's House of Commerce now has a batch of goods that need to be transported, please help the Eastern Empire, I am here to beg You are doing business, did he say anything else? I didn't say what would happen to you? I mean the pirates, pirates you understand? Even people who are not welcome in this country, who are criminals in this country, your government can't control these people, how can we outsiders manage them? Maybe it's because the pirates don't eat well one day. If you want to vent, you can come to this port or intercept your Eastern Empire's ships at sea. You can find me. I said that this gentleman must have evidence Yes, if there is no evidence, you are provoking our Cao's firm by talking like this. Do you want to see if you have that ability? This guy said with a smile, provoking Cao's house? He doesn't have that ability right now.
How do the people in Cao's Commercial Bank do things? Why are the mouths getting stronger than the other? This fat man is really scared now. Did he say anything just now? Didn't his expression become a little more serious? Why did it become a provocation to Cao's House, let alone him, even his boss didn't have the guts, even the emperor of the Eastern Empire didn't have the guts. Although the emperor of the Eastern Empire wanted to fight with the emperors of the other three empires Let's unite to deal with the Cao family firm, but if he is asked to do it by himself, he certainly doesn't have the guts, not to mention that he only needs a small ship management official. The person from the firm sent it. At this moment, this guy is really scared. Did he cause a war just because of his words? If that's the case, I really belong to the empire, right? I can't afford this crime. She quickly showed the smile on her face again, but now people don't rely on you at all, and it's useless to show it. .
You don't need to say anything more? I already know your difficulty now, is it nothing more than your fear of losing your head? If you're afraid of losing your head, I'll take your head off now, your head. Anyway, there's nothing you can do on it, right? When you are doing things, I can't see, why don't I put your head down now and ask other people to take your place, I think they will have a right choice, this guy is right in front of you The fat man said, and then took out some things in his hand. He saw clearly that it was a knife, and it was definitely not a threat. It is much stronger than the Eastern Empire. Even if I die here, it is possible. No one would say a word for himself. Thinking of this, he felt a little sad for himself, but there was not so much time for him to be sad, and he did his own thing well.
No, you listen to me to explain that I definitely don't mean that, I definitely don't mean to provoke Cao's house. Since the treaty signed last time between us, the Eastern Empire and your Cao's House, we have been good friends. How could we do something like that. We will never do such a thing, please believe us, please give me a certain amount of time for this matter, and I will definitely be able to give you a satisfactory answer. Now he is really scared, but he dare not agree to this matter, just as he said, even if he agreed to the ships outside, they will not listen to him. They belong to the ports of the Eastern Empire and manage each port. They all have their own chief executive. He is just here to provide some opinions or count the numbers, and supply the things on the ship. Other things are simply out of his turn. Even if he wants to do it, he doesn't have the ability. She also didn't want the empire to go to war with the Cao's firm. In that case, it would be the Eastern Empire that would lose in the end, and everyone on the southern coast could see the result.
He is still very clear about how the last war was fought. In the last war, the navy in the Middle East Empire could be said to be vulnerable. Don't mention how useless it is, the navy of the Eastern Empire is the same as if it was chased like a rabbit by the people of Cao's firm, and even the ability to look back is useless. Running can also be like a tortoise when your ship is sold. At this time, Cao’s business friends have become rabbits. They can quickly catch up with you, and slowly climb up the things on your bed and move them down. You have no other words , you don’t dare to fight for others, because what kind of weapon is in your right hand, what kind of weapon is in their hand, if you don’t rely on others to give you, you have nothing to do. You have melee weapons when you are close to someone’s house, so to speak There is still a 50% winning rate, how should such a war be fought? God doesn't know how to beat him, how would he know? So war is absolutely not allowed.
Hehe, since you still say this, I'm sorry. Today, our Cao's Commercial Bank is going to do such a thing. I brought an agreement. You can either sign this agreement, or I will let you immediately You have lost your head. Our Cao’s business is generally like this, either open or not, either you are my friend or you are my enemy. I don’t have good wine and food to treat my friends and treat my enemies. There are no knives, guns and sticks to entertain, you can choose by yourself, to be a friend or an enemy is just in your own mind, the guard put the knife on the table with a search, it was a very fast knife, this fat man When the guy saw the knife, he felt trembling all over for no reason, as if he knew the coldness of the knife, and in his heart, the people around the Eastern Empire didn't dare to say more.
Li Cong really found the right person to bring this kid here to do such a thing. This kid has never done such a thing before, but now he feels like he is familiar with the road, bullying the people and relying on his own power to bully people like this It is estimated that everyone thinks about it, but not everyone has such an opportunity. Now he has such an opportunity. Although his status in Cao's House is not low, he has never done such a thing. Things, it feels really thrilling, I really hope that the boss will leave such things to himself in the future, the fat man in front of him is already shaking, he doesn't know how to solve this matter? If you promise to lose your head, but if you don't agree, your head will also fall off, what should you do if you stretch your head and shrink your head with a knife? The guard also seemed to see the melancholy in his heart, walked over and patted him on the shoulder, picked up the knife on the table, the meaning was very clear, if you don't agree, wait now if you agree, maybe your head can still be kept.
Dude, I actually have another suggestion. I wonder if you are interested in listening to it? The guard patted him on the shoulder and said, you said that no matter what it is, I just ask you to show me a clear way. I also have a wife and children, and there is an 80-year-old mother at home for a three-year-old child. This The guy is also very good at talking nonsense, but for that guard, he has heard that there are many people who say such things in the army, so hurry up and tell this person to stop talking, he finally understands what he just said. When he was at Cao's House, why didn't Li Tong continue to say it himself, because everyone knew these words. You're just talking nonsense. It's useless for you to say such nonsense. When Li Cong patted him, he was also filming this. At this time, he finally found the feeling of the boss. Although the person in front of him is not very useful, he can let himself experience the feeling that he has not yet found.
Can you tell me what your life is like now? Difficulty on the left has become more difficult, and the court of the Eastern Empire puts pressure on you. Cao's House is also putting pressure on you. You're like one of the people in the middle. Talking here and there will tear you apart sooner or later. These words of the guard had reached her heart, and he really felt this way recently, as he had to coordinate the relationship with the imperial court in the middle. It is also necessary to coordinate the relationship between Cao's House of Firm. My whole family is at the imperial court. It is not an easy task to take them over. If I can take them over, I will guide Cao's House of Firm in an all-round way. Just like the so-called police outside, these people are all from the Eastern Empire. They were the imperial army of the Eastern Empire before. What are they doing now? The people who helped the Cao’s House of Commerce were right, they were established, the opposition forces helped the people of the Cao’s House of Business to maintain social order, they could do these things themselves, so why bother?
In fact, you can follow us to quarrel and hurt yourself. Now you need to make a choice, whether to follow the Eastern Empire to give me a way to the dark or not? Follow our Cao’s Commercial Bank, there is a bright road here, think about it, many people in our Cao’s Commercial Bank will never treat you badly, the police departments outside have seen it, they have a salary of two taels of silver a month, and in addition How much food can be received by the number of people in the family? In this way, their life is absolutely free from food and clothing, why don’t you do that? What benefits does the Eastern Empire give you now, our Cao’s House gives you double, and you work honestly for us in your future days You can live a better life, if you are not honest, then I can't help it Isn't it time to do it? That was impossible, and he was starting to loosen.
Once upon a time, he was scolding the policemen outside for thinking they were all spineless. The Cao's House robbed your house of everything and beat you until your nose was bruised and your face was swollen. You actually wanted to do things for others later on. It's not a bitch, what are you thinking about? But now he also understands what's going on? This is how many people in the Cao’s House do things. They don’t give you two choices. Those policemen must have had the same thoughts as themselves at the beginning. They also know that the overall strength of the Empire is stronger than that of the Cao’s House. Yes, but in some parts, especially among the dozen or so cities occupied by Cao's House on the southern coast, the strength of the Eastern Empire can be said to be completely gone. What strength does the Eastern Empire have besides itself? Can I fight against the people of Cao's House with this little strength? If you want to talk to someone from Cao's House, it's just a dream. If you don't manage to put your own life in it, it won't hurt even a single hair on his body.
The fat man hesitated. It's not that he didn't think of Cao's House, but his family is in the Eastern Empire. If the Eastern Empire knew that he was a traitor, how could his family's lives be saved? Well, the Eastern Empire is currently catching traitors. As long as someone has done things for the Cao's House, all his relatives who are not in the mainland will also be implicated, and they will be immediately monitored to prevent them from being in the middle of the Cao's House. This kind of incident caused a lot of rumors in their own place, and this fat man also came from there, of course he knew what would happen to his family when he was scared? But now he is really in a dilemma, but he knows that the person in front of him is likely to hurt him. If he dies, the life of the family members may be even more miserable. Although he can live, but without his own financial Source How should they survive at home? Just like ordinary people?
The fat man thought for a while in the room by himself, and Li Cong's guards also knew that they should not press him too tightly at this time. He should be weighing what to do in his heart? The matter of weighing pros and cons will take a certain amount of time for these brainy people. I know this. I just sit down and look at the things in the room and wait for him slowly. In the near future, he will give himself a satisfactory result. As for the answer, sir, I have thought about it, I should hang out with you Cao's firm, but I have a condition, I don't think you have encountered this condition many times, that is, I will wait for them at home. Live in a city three hundred kilometers away. They were seen by the people of the Eastern Empire. It is impossible for me to bring them here, and I have a son in the capital of the empire, so it can be said that he is alone. I hope that your Cao's firm can help me rescue these people. if you can. In the future, I will allow whatever you Cao's firm says.
Since you cooperate in doing this, it will be easier to handle. Our Cao's House is very kind to our people. If you are willing to cooperate with us, let alone your family members, it is your other requirements such as your treatment. We can be satisfied with other things. We will give you double what the Eastern Empire has given you, and your family can rest assured that our Cao’s firm can achieve such achievements in the Eastern Empire. People are connected, if there is no one in the Eastern Empire to help us, how can we have the current situation? I believe you haven't been messing around for a day or two. You understand all these things. I will arrange someone to help your family. Tell me now what can you give us? If you're just a waste, we wouldn't waste so much energy. Li saw from her back that this guy can cooperate, so it would be even better. Don't need to make trouble. If he cooperates, it would be too much to cause a war in the southern part of the Eastern Empire. easy.
I still know a lot of things, for example, some hidden islands in the southern coast of the Eastern Empire, and the products produced on them, right? Alas, I have records of where some of the ships go and what they bring back. I think there should be no changes in the past few decades? Where and when will these ships go out and come back? I also know, I think the information in my hand is the information that your Cao's business firm needs, can these information be exchanged for my family members? If I come from home, I hope to lose my current position. I don’t want to be a traitor, but I will give you what I have in my hands, and I will not do other things. I will come with my family Go to a place to live in seclusion, live the rest of my life well, I don’t know if it’s okay, this guy thought for a while and said, he really doesn’t want to endure such torture, if things like this continue, he feels that he is about to collapse or It is better to go to the place honestly and live a good life with the family.
There is no problem with this. I have just said that our Cao's House of Commerce will meet all your requirements. What you have in your hand is exactly what we need. We can satisfy all these things mentioned above, and we can also provide some other things that are more necessary, such as sending you to live in some places in our Cao's firm. Of course, you may think of this as observing you. , then you choose a few places yourself, we will send you there, and we will give you some shadows, that is, your son in the capital, we can also help you keep it, I don’t know if you are satisfied with this statement, if If you are satisfied, our peace contract can be signed now, just like signing a contract with the Eastern Empire, everything has articles to make it out. If our Cao's firm can't do it, you can go out and pick it up, and we will die Yes, we will do it for you alone, but I don't have the credibility of Cao's business with him? That is absolutely not the case.
If Li Cong was here, he would definitely praise his bodyguard well, and he never thought that his bodyguard could do things like this. Originally, Li Cong's idea was to let them come here to find trouble. Just beat up the leader or kill him, or snatch the ships in the port, so that the Eastern Empire will definitely not swallow his anger, and will definitely send a court official to manage things here , and I just brought someone in the middle to kill this court official. At that time, I made a very innocent look, and the people of the Eastern Empire would definitely not let it go. The war started at that time up. The people of the Eastern Empire want to hand over the murderer by themselves, of course they can’t call it out. The words of the Eastern Empire have already been sent out, and their common people also feel that there must be an explanation for this matter. It should happen when he can’t give her this step. It's war, isn't that what you need? But with the needs of this person in front of us, we can make some more careful plans.
Therefore, Li Cong's original plan was a bit shoddy, and it is easy for some people to figure out some of the flavors. As long as they have a brain, they will think about what is going on. Some people can also understand him, and it may be more natural for this person in front of him to cooperate with Cao's firm. Now this society has ideas in their minds. For example. He can issue some orders at will, um, tell them which port ahead is unusable and you have to go to another place, or order one or two ships to go directly to sink the warship of Cao's House. Cao's House can use this as an excuse to embarrass the Eastern Empire. Propose some conditions that the Eastern Empire cannot accept. It was as if he had made a condition with him just now, the emperor of the Eastern Empire would naturally not swallow his anger, and it would be better if he wanted to start a war. No matter how the Eastern Empire explains it, the common people here have already seen what you people from the Eastern Empire are looking for.
Oh, if this is the case, I will cooperate with you and I will do whatever you say? I'm going to fight it out now, and I'll die one day when I'm caught between the two of you. The Eastern Empire is my old master. The Cao's House is now powerful. No matter who it is, I can't afford to offend you. What I want to do now is How can I keep me and my family members? Now I have some things to report to the two ships outside. What they report is actually loaded with some wood or something? But this is really not the case. Those wooden interiors are filled with some very precious gemstones. The value of these two ships is as high as 1220000000 silver. If you want, you can take them directly. Of course our people don’t want to You have taken these, and they are going to be transported to the north. It is the work of a big jewelry family in the Eastern Empire. If you need it, I can cooperate with you to take down all these two brands.
This guy quickly entered his role. He thought that Cao's Commercial Bank controlled him for these things, but she didn't expect that Cao's Commercial Bank had deeper ideas. I haven't noticed it yet, and Cao's House is not short of this money, but you have already provided this, so naturally you have to take these things down, since you have already come, let's take care of this matter right? Didn’t the boss just want to talk about building some defenses for the gun towers? It takes money to build some gun towers and so on, and the money can be used for that. I heard that gems are valuable. Yes, Cao's House closed its own jewelry shop before, but some jewelry masters are still there. It may not be very big to ask them to do wholesale to outsiders. This guy follows Li Cong every day, Considering the problem is also relatively comprehensive, and you will soon know how to deal with this matter?
Don't worry about this matter for the time being, you just need to find a way to control their family and prevent her from leaving the port. As long as they don't go to sea, you have the final say on everything here. Even if they go to sea, we know that they are on board The speed of our ships is several times that of yours, where can you go? It is very easy to catch him. Li Cong's guard said that the people of Cao's House of Commerce are so confident when they speak. He is very envious of others. He was also very confident when he spoke as a government official of the Eastern Empire. Yes, but now the Eastern Empire is completely different from the former Eastern Empire. It is absolutely impossible to do things like before. The Eastern Empire is no longer a rabbit's tail. , I am the supreme leader of this city, and I have already decided to rebel against the Eastern Empire. How can other residents in the city continue to mess around with the Eastern Empire? Can't they see the great days ahead?
Soon, this guy hurried back to tell Li Cong the good news here. Li Cong never thought that this kid would do things like this. It's also the other way around, okay, I think you are very talented in doing this. I didn't see it before. Since you are good at doing this, I will entrust this matter to you, and you will immediately take it. Go ahead, the two ships at sea will pass by next, and bring that person to me in the afternoon. I have something to talk to him about. With his cooperation, I think our war will be in the near future. Just send an order to the people below to prepare for battle, and store large-scale war materials, especially food, bows and arrows, and some gunpowder. We have destroyed it, and if our army does not have those things, our combat effectiveness will plummet.
What Li Cong said is normal, just like some armies of the Eastern Empire, they all use knives, guns and sticks. Even without those things, they can go to the battlefield. Of course, whoever tells them to eat is enough. , but the people in the Cao’s House are different. The Cao’s House has all kinds of weapons. If you have any, just call me and tell me how much contribution is needed for a war? A soldier calculated that about 200 bows and arrows would be needed for a high-intensity war. Cao's firm is sometimes slower to equip this ruthless man, and he can tell how many kilograms it needs with a little nonsense? These bows and arrows have burst tires one after another, and they are not enough at all. The soldiers can only have a small amount of shoelaces, and the rest rely on local materials. At present, there are about millions of people who are helping Cao's firm to know this thing non-stop every day.
Although the other three empires have begun to prohibit the Cao family firm from having a large number of troops, it is still no problem for the Cao family firm to recruit a large number of laborers. I find people to work and give them money. right? The three empires didn't talk too much to themselves. After all, they knew that now was not the time to completely anger the Cao's firm. It would be better for everyone to look better if they didn't tear their face or not. (To be continued..)
