The sky is cold and the city of Luoyang is frozen.
Although it is the prosperous Xijing of the Great Song Dynasty, in this cold winter, the streets and alleys are also depressed.
Although the water dripping into ice outside, the flower hall outside Yue Yuan is warm like spring, and the fragrance is overflowing.
Eight braziers of white copper were burning with the finest animal charcoal, and the heat was surging in the room.
Yue Yuanwai is called Yue Qianhua, there is a shop, a house, you can be complimented by others, but Yue Yuanwai is a real outsider, a wealthy businessman in Luoyang City, and more than half of the shops on the three most prosperous streets in Luoyang are his.
In Luoyang City, it is said that ordinary people, businessmen and rich gentry want to be respectful when they see him, even if it is the prefect, he is also a person who can speak, such a character should be a big man who stomps on the nine cities and trembles, but at this moment in his own home, he is standing respectfully in the corner of the flower hall, even in front of the prefect, he is not so tame and polite, hanging his head as if he is being taught by his father.
But the old man looked much younger than he was, with a black tower-like body.
Stout and sturdy, although he wore a scribe's regular clothes, he did not have the slightest elegance, and if it were not for the shrewdness of the light in his eyes, he would easily be classified as a reckless man who only knew how to wield a pair of bowls.
This reckless man is furious, he is sitting in the back house of Yue Yuanwai's home, and the object of his anger is not Yue Yuanwai, but Yue Yuanwai seems to have swept to the tail of the wind, and the atmosphere does not dare to breathe.
The man who was sitting on the top and was angry was none other than Cui Dalang.
In front of him, there were three women standing on the bow, one in front of the head was slender and slender, wearing a black fox fur fur, the soft and bright fur robe shone with purple and black light, and a gray squirrel skin cloak on the outside of the fur, a snow-white fox tail around the neck of the neck, and a pair of deerskin boots on the feet.
The woman in the fur clothes has eyebrows like distant mountains, her eyes are like autumn water, beautiful and beautiful, and she can not be squared, and then she wears this luxurious clothes, she is really like a fairy in the sky, but this fairy is wearing a fur coat and standing in this flower hall that is as warm as spring or even like early summer.
There was a faint sweat between the eyebrows, so it looked a little embarrassed.
As soon as she entered the flower hall, before she took off her coat, she was frightened by the angry Cui Dalang, and she didn't dare to move when she stood there.
Standing behind her were two maids with double buns, both of whom were beautiful embryos with bright eyes and bright teeth, each wearing a rabbit down jacket, which made them pink and beautiful.
"How unreasonable is this kind of thing, which actually keeps me in the dark, if it weren't for the fact that I suddenly stopped purchasing silk, tea, porcelain, and jewelry, raised a large amount of food, and disrupted their deployment, I would still know nothing.
Yu Xi, you can't escape the blame for this matter. ” The beauty hurriedly bowed her head and said: "The slave family is guilty, Zheng Ye's movements."
The slave family has always been indiscriminate, and over the years, it has been revealed that the two cases have always gotten along well, so the slave family is careless, and the son is punished. ” The beauty said, as soon as she mentioned her fur, she knelt down, and the two pretty little maids behind her saw this, and they knelt down in a panic.
This beauty is called Shi Yuxiao, this is a woman who has been specially selected and cultivated in the Cui family since childhood, when he was a child, he accompanied Cui Dalang to study, practice martial arts, learn business, and became his concubine when he grew up.
Cui Dalang waved his hand with a calm face, and said: "The matter of raising food will be handed over to the Li family to do, from now on, you will closely monitor the Zheng family's every move, whether it is personnel transfer or money transfer, no matter how big or small, everything must be reported to me in time." ” Shi Yucheng hurriedly responded, Cui Dalang pondered for a moment, and then said: "It is Xia Xia and Tang Ran who are now sent to Hexi by the Zheng family to preside over their affairs."
Cui Dalang's eyes flickered, and he gradually showed a trace of murderous aura, and sneered: "Don't follow the rules."
It seems that I have been too indulgent of them in the past. ” Shi Yucheng hurriedly said: "What is the son going to do, please tell me to come down, and the slave family will arrange it immediately." ” Cui Dalang glanced at her, sighed and said, "Forget it, I still have to think about this matter."
You just arrived, and it is inconvenient to travel in the cold, so stay for the time being, go change your clothes, and take a bath to rest. ” When Shi Meiren heard this, she knew that he had calmed down, and she could stay by his side, so she was happy in her heart, and hurriedly agreed, glancing at him with joy and disgust, charming and self-reliant, she got up, and retreated with the two little maids.
When she turned around, the corners of Shi Yuxiao's mouth curled slightly, and the timid appearance she had just pretended to be had been replaced by a shallow smile.
She and Lang Jun reunited after a long absence, and as soon as they met, they were reprimanded by him first, how could they not have a little temper Since the son asked her to stay hummed, she was angry at this time.
In front of his subordinates, he has to give his man face.
When you stay in bed at night, you have to be coquettish first, and you have to let him whisper a guilty son, and then win back this game, and then love him.
Shi Yuhui has been waiting for Cui Dalang since he was a child, and he was originally a childhood sweetheart, but now he is his pillow person, if he wants to say that he is afraid of him, unless he touches his reverse scales, he will not be really afraid.
Otherwise, how could the hypocritical Confucius have a headache and say that women are "not inferior if they are close."
Far away, the emotional animal of "resentment" This university scholar is obviously more than knowledgeable, not emotionally intelligent enough, and a little uneven in the relationship between men and women, so he complained stupidly.
"Childe" As soon as Shi Meiren left, Yue Yuanwai came up, Cui Dalang waved his hand and ordered: "You go down too, I want to be alone and be quiet." ” "Yes" Yue Yuan was relieved, in front of this uncommon leader, there was always an invisible heavy pressure in his heart, especially when he was angry, whether it was Cui Dagongzi or the Zheng Ye in the mouth of Fang Cai Shi Girl, they were all the top characters in the "Succession Hall", and the characters who could make him disappear with their little fingers, it would be best to be able to hide a little farther.
Seeing that Yue Yuanwai retreated on thin ice, Cui Dalang sighed and sat down with a headache.
Yang Hao suddenly called the emperor, and the secrecy was done in advance, and even he was made very passive, but since Yang Hao unified Hexi, he already had this kind of premonition and psychological preparation, but it was not particularly in a hurry, Hexi unification, and Song Liaoding stood together, this is the situation he envisioned when he encouraged Yang Hao to return to Hexi, in the past two years, although his investment has not been fully recovered, but the benefits brought by the unification of Hexi have been very huge, his investment is one-time, and the benefits are endless.
Naturally, the business was a success.
As for Yang Hao's fear of his huge latent power, some things can be avoided by him, but he didn't take it to heart.
He is a businessman, he doesn't want to hold political power at all, and he doesn't have that ability, and he may not be able to be the one who rules the world by himself with huge financial resources, otherwise there will not be so many rich gentry and rich men with long-term vision throughout the ages.
When you want to hold power or want to be protected by power in order to achieve long-term stability, you have to spread your wealth to fund a potential hero who may not be stronger than him at that time.
How brilliant the Tang Dynasty was back then, it was only three generations strong, and it was dead when it was said to be dead.
Since Zhu Wen destroyed the Tang Dynasty and established himself as the emperor, which hero is not the sword pointing at the world, none of the wealthy families can resist However, these huge empires, these emperors and generals, one by one, are as brilliant and falling as a flash in the pan, without exception.
The singing horns are all sung by you and I will appear, but the drums and strings in the background will not be affected.
What Cui Dalang has the heart to do is the musician who plays the cymbals and drums behind the scenes, the waves sweep away the heroes, I don't do the boat on the crest of the waves, only the waves that push you to the top.
This is also the survival experience that Jihedo has summed up over hundreds of years.
However, if this boat is not held, when the boat capsizes, the surging new generation of powerful people may not be willing to accept your waves, what to do at that time, the emperor and the general, the dynasty hegemony is always changing, and there is always a speculative new family to replace the family of the previous dynasty from the dragon, and become the world's first-class powerful family, how can the heir hall remain undefeated The solution that Jihedo came up with was to divide the entire huge force into two parts: the Hidden Sect and the Manifest Sect.
Hyeonjong was responsible for judging the situation, following the strong to compete in the world, and seeking benefits with his great feats.
Once the investment of Xianzong fails, when it is necessary to support the other party, or after the success, he cannot retire and has been purged, and the emperor needs another force to replace the heir hall who single-handedly helped him to the throne of the Ninety-Five Supreme Throne, and the hidden sect that has nothing to do with the heir hall will appear on the surface, and the hidden sect will become the manifest sect, and the manifest sect will become the hidden sect, in this exchange process, to ensure the survival and prosperity of the family.

Cui Dalang is the head of the generation of Jihetang and the leader of Xianzong.
When he took over the power, Jihetang had been in the Tang, Song and remote areas after many years of painstaking management, Ancha under his own power, the chaos in the world was initially decided, most of the major families of Jihetang have begun to be optimistic about the Song Kingdom, thinking that it can dominate the world, but the five generations of troubled times, I don't know how many heroes and strategic masters, in the end it is also a failure, put all the eggs in one basket, Jihetang will not do.
What's more, the Zhao family used military power to take over power directly from the emperor of the previous dynasty, and Ji Hei Tang did not regard Zhao Kuangyin, a general who was doing the inspection in front of the palace, as a hidden dragon when the talented Hou Zhou Shizong Chai Rong was in power, so he did not get much benefit from it, which is also the reason why the Tang family later moved to Bianliang, because there are still a lot of opportunities to make money here, and Ji Hei Tang did not control everything here early.
At this time, Cui Dalang discovered Yang Hao's potential stock.
The Western Regions Trade Route was originally an important trade route for Jihetang, but the Northwest has been in turmoil for many years, although since the ancestors, Jihetang has spared no effort to try to open up the Western Regions Trade Road, and teamed up with the big food merchant Talib to create a secret business channel, but the cost is too high.
In addition, the situation that the Western Regions was not far behind the appearance of princes and generals during the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period of the Central Plains, and the succession of heirs to bribe a local force with a lot of money has just achieved results, and this force has been replaced by others, and it is not uncommon for them to have to start all over again.
Moreover, these minority regimes are far more adept at sabotage than construction, and even if they use a lot of money to build up with them, it is difficult to get more benefits from the local regime.
Initially, Cui Dalang supported Yang Hao, just hoping to improve the situation of Jihetang in the northwest through him, but as they got more and more information about Yang Hao's latent forces, as well as their understanding of Yang Hao, they gradually found that Yang Hao's power and Yang Hao's power still have great potential to be tapped, so the investment is getting bigger and bigger, and with the rise of Yang Hao, they finally found that this person is fully capable of unifying the Western Regions and thoroughly solving the problem of smooth trade routes in the Western Regions that has plagued Jihetang for more than a hundred years.
Yang Hao's unification of the Western Regions can ensure the unimpeded flow of goods from the East and the West, silk, porcelain, and tea from the East, jewelry, spices, and glass from the West, every round trip is 10,000 taels of gold.
If the Hexi Corridor is not unified, it is simply impossible to imagine that a large number of easily damaged and easily robbed property can be transported safely and securely.
The abundant salt, iron, sulfur, and miscanthus mines, cattle, horses, sheep, and livestock, cotton and linen products, and even the gold mines, gem mines, Kunlun Mountains, and jade mines in Khotan in the Hexi region are inconceivable for merchants to mine, produce, transport, and sell without a unified political power.
So after careful and careful analysis, Jihetang began to spare no effort to support him.
But I didn't expect that the huge investment of Jihetang had just begun to produce results, and it came to the critical moment of Yang Hao's wrestling with the Song regime, once Yang Hao failed, the forces of all ethnic groups in Hexi under Yang Hao's command were likely to collapse immediately, and return to the original disorderly melee situation.
Decades ago, the Lu family tried to get rid of the remaining six surnames in one fell swoop and seize the supreme power of the heir hall; A few years ago, the Tang family refused to obey the unified deployment of the heir hall and blatantly moved from Hexi to Bianliang; Now, the leader of the Hidden Sect, the Zheng family, is not willing to be lonely and wants to jump out to call for wind and rain.
The Zheng family secretly mobilized various resources and began to create conditions for Zhao Guangmei to operate Guanzhong, because the Zheng family is a hidden sect, and they usually only carry out all kinds of normal business transactions, and Xianzong has no reason to involve and supervise, so he didn't realize it, if it weren't for Cui Dalang because Yang Hao suddenly became emperor, he was forced to change the original procurement plan and raise a large amount of grain and grass, because the situation was urgent and he needed to use the reserves of the hidden sect, he would not have found out what the Zheng family had done.
"His grandmother is a bear" Thinking of this, Cui Dalang couldn't help but scold a foul word: The Zheng family is really whimsical, and they want to support Zhao Guangmei Zhao Guangmei Cui Dalang looked left and right, up and down, no matter how he looked at it, he couldn't see that Zhao Guangmei had the conditions and opportunities to replace Zhao Guangyi, and the old immortal head of the Zheng family simply let the donkey kick Yes, when I first supported Yang Hao, he was just a fire dean in Bianliang, Tokyo, Zhao Guangmei is now the prince, and the starting point is much higher than Yang Hao, and it is rumored that Zhao Da passed the throne to Zhao Er, and Zhao Er will pass it to Zhao San in the future, but Zhao Guangyi seems to be a person who is willing to give up, and he has already set up the prince Although Yang Hao was only a fire dean of Kaifeng Mansion, the people of Luzhou were brought out by him from the Han Kingdom, and they only recognized Yang Hao, not the Great Song Dynasty; Yang Hao also has the secret obedience and submission of the seven clans of the party, and has Li Guangcen, the legal heir of the difficult and temperate envoy, as his father-in-law, what does Zhao Guangmei have Dong Shi imitates the wind This is the conclusion that Cui Dalang has reached.
In his anger just now, Cui Dalang hated it so much that he really wanted to use the most severe means to sanction the Zheng family, but when he calmed down at this time, he realized that things were not so simple.
First of all, although he is the head of the Succession Hall, it is not easy to move the power of a major family in the Succession Hall, and he is also the leader of the hidden sect who can compete with him.
If he really had such great power, he would not have reluctantly accepted the fact that the Tang family had moved to Bianliang.
Second, the Zheng family's move is not big, and the investment in Zhao Guangmei is still limited, Qianzong has the right to support those they think have potential, even if the two forces are in full swing, Xianzong is fully supporting one of them, if Qianzong thinks it is necessary, he can also contact the other party first, and he can't wait until Xianzong fails to retreat into the background, Qianzong runs out and rushes to cram, so the Zheng family's actions are not considered out of the ordinary in the Jihetang Hall.
This edge ball is played Sit idly by No, after the Tang family withdrew from the northwest, the resources of the heir hall in the northwest were limited, and all these limited resources must be used on Yang Hao.
The 100,000 righteous army of Shudi Scimitar Xiaoliu and Tie Niu need to be funded, and the war in Hexi is in full swing and burns money, Ye Zhixuan lays communications on the front line of Longyou Bashu in Hexi, Longyou Wang Rufeng, Di Haijing, Barcelona, Zhang Jun and others recruit troops and horses, which place does not need money, and can no longer let the old man Zheng of Qianzong waste this limited resource on Zhao Guangmei's waste like sucking blood.
Cui Dalang gritted his teeth and laughed coldly: In the northwest, the plan to lure the enemy deep and cut off the enemy's grain route has achieved initial results, Pan Mei is in a dilemma, it seems that Yang Hao can hold it.
I can't move this old man Zheng, so let's take a salary from the bottom of the kettle, and I must not let the Zheng family spoil my big thing:
