Things are exactly as the emperor expected, and there are masters on the other side who can see the clues at a glance, and the strategy of setting up newcomers before is actually not very effective, and those officials who can easily serve are actually not very good in terms of their own qualifications and character, and the five surnames and seven hopes also look down on them.And most of those with good qualifications and strong abilities were sent to the surrounding areas for the use of the imperial court, and this advance and retreat was extremely disadvantaged.The five surnames and seven hopes were in a hurry, originally thinking that even if the imperial court controlled the imperial examination, it would take many generations of accumulation to control the local real power, but now it seems that there is no need for many generations at all, and the newcomers of this generation alone are a great hidden danger.So after thinking about it again, this group of people decided to take the initiative to break the game.At the headquarters of the Dujia Chamber of Commerce in Chang'an City, Wu Zhao was concentrating on planning the strategy of the Chamber of Commerce, and the two tiger scalpers and others were discussing the situation of the Chamber of Commerce in a whisper, and everyone seemed full of confidence.At this time, a guard came to report that the old lady had arrived.Everyone was stunned for a moment, Wu Zhao frowned, and ordered: "You wait for me in the conference room, and I will come when I go." ”The so-called old lady refers to Wu Zhao's mother-in-law Yang, not Du Shaoqing's mother, because Wu Zhao's mother used to visit her daughter in the Chamber of Commerce, and Du Shaoqing's mother basically didn't come, even if she came, she was called Mrs.
Du.When he came to the living room, Wu Zhao found that his mother's face was full of worry and anxiety, and hurriedly walked a few steps."
Erya, something may have happened."
Yang whispered."
Mother, you say slowly, who has an accident?
Could it be Xiao Taiping?
No one in the family came to tell me, is my sister having news?
”Wu Zhao thought that his youngest daughter had an accident, which made the old lady so worried."
No, it's not us, it's the Du family, the Du Sanye couple who are neighbors with me, I haven't seen them for three days."
Yang grabbed his daughter's hand tightly and said.What???
Wu Zhao was taken aback, how could it be?
Du Sanye is also the third uncle of Du Shaoqing Luoxia Town, when the Du family in Luoxia Town all moved to Chang'an City, Du Shaoqing bought a house for the third uncle and three aunts, afraid that they would be idle and bored, so he entrusted them to take care of the orphans of Changle Family, and later let Wu Zhao's mother Yang be a neighbor, and several old people helped take care of the children's lives together.Usually the third uncle and his wife always go to Du Shaoqing's Hou Mansion to see the children every three or five days, because their son Du Shaoming went to Jiangnan to join the army, the old couple became more and more cordial to the orphans who were responsible, and they were not so diligent when they went to the Hou Mansion."
No, two days ago, my husband went to visit the third uncle and third aunt.Are you sure it's been three days?
Did they go back to their hometown to visit their relatives?
Didn't say hello to you?
”Wu Zhao said suspiciously."
But to say, Du Sanniang and I are now good sisters who talk about everything, and we usually have to ask each other what we eat, and it is impossible for them not to tell me when they go far away, so I feel strange.It's been three days since I saw a person, my mother is worried, although the Du family has a lot of wealth and power, but the tree is a big move, in case it is a revenge against the head and kidnaps Du Sanye and his wife, what can I do?
Erya, you check it, don't call it something. ”After all, the Yang family was born in the palace, and she was also the wife of the Ministry of Works, and her knowledge was not low, so she suddenly thought of the key point.Wu Zhao was silent for a moment, and then said to the old lady: "Okay, I know, mother, you go back first, I'll go to my husband to discuss, by the way, don't make a noise, if it's really a villain, I'm afraid it's not good to stab and look for it" As soon as he said this, Wu Zhao changed his words again, "No, don't go back, go directly to the Hou Mansion, if it's really a bad person, let you go back to live alone, it will be more dangerous." ”"That's not possible, Du Sanye and his wife are not here, and there is no one to take care of that group of children" Yang was unwilling."
I will send someone to take over the child's affairs, now your safety comes first, if you are also taken captive, what should I do?
You go to the Hou Mansion to live for a few days, it just so happens that several children miss you too, and Sister Changle is also very tired from taking care of Xiao Taiping at home all day, so you go to help take care of your granddaughter. ”To put it mildly, the Yang family finally agreed, and was personally sent into the carriage by Wu Zhao.Then Wu Zhao quickly returned to the conference room, stopped the strategic deployment meeting of the Chamber of Commerce, and asked Erhu to mobilize the intelligence organization to investigate the missing persons, and let the scalper take charge of the Chamber of Commerce for the time being.Wu Zhao himself went straight to the medical hall by car.came to the hospital, but did not see her husband Du Shaoqing, and others told him that Du Shaoqing received a letter and went out.Wu Zhao realized that something seemed to be wrong, so he returned to the Chamber of Commerce to wait.Sure enough, it didn't take long for Du Shaoqing to come to the Chamber of Commerce alone, his brows furrowed and his face ugly."
Third uncle and third aunt have news?"
Wu Zhao took the initiative to ask."
You got the message too?"
Du Shaoqing was slightly surprised."
Just now my mother came to deliver a letter, saying that I haven't seen the third uncle and his wife for three days, I am a little worried, I have sent someone to investigate, and I heard that you received a letter and went out, and guessed that the opposite is shooting.Who is the other party?
”Du Shaoqing said in a deep voice: "The other party is very cautious, he is a native of the Western Turkic steppe, he did not show any flaws, and gave me a token to prove that the third uncle and third aunt are in their hands, and they have been taken away from Chang'an for three days."
It's hateful, in Chang'an City, our own territory, under the close attention of the two forces of the Chamber of Commerce and the Imperial Court, they can still succeed, it's really hateful!
”"Hmph, if you extrapolate like this, there must be a party or a mastermind behind the scenes in Chang'an City, and their hands and eyes are all over the sky.Or else he is a Western Turk?
They ate leopard gall, dare to provoke our Du Family Chamber of Commerce?
Besides, we have no grievances, so why did they take our people captive?
”Wu Zhao asserted.Du Shaoqing said with emotion: "The other party has a great plan, and wants our Du Family Chamber of Commerce to support the Western Turks in terms of finances, enhance their national strength, and at the same time build momentum for the future invasion of the Tang Dynasty." ”Wu Zhao exclaimed, "What???
Are they crazy?
The Western Turks dare to invade the Tang Dynasty?
Besides, do they think our Du Family Chamber of Commerce is easy to bully?
Just getting two people can force us to betray Datang?
Bah, I'm not saying that I don't care about the lives of my third uncle and three aunts, and I will definitely not abolish my husband because of my husband, they look down on you too much. ”"No, I'm ready, promise them."
Du Shaoqing replied indifferently.Wu Zhao's small mouth is open, as if he doesn't know the person opposite, how is it possible?
How is it possible to say yes?
Fujun is not an ordinary weak scholar, he has been on the battlefield and killed the enemy."
Oh, this must be a delaying tactic, let's drag them first, and then slowly figure it out, right?"
Wu Zhao said tentatively with a strange expression.Du Shaoqing shook his head, "Three days is enough for the other party to send people hundreds of miles, and we can't catch up with them, and we can't save them."
My Du Shaoqing is selfless, that is the opinion of outsiders, and our own family knows that I am more protective of my shortcomings.The third uncle and I are like father and son, and the third aunt regards Xiao Xuanxuan as her own granddaughter, and it is impossible for me not to save them. ”Hearing Du Shaoqing's explanation, Wu Zhao slowly stepped forward and grabbed her husband's hand, and said softly: "In this case, let me come forward to deal with it, after all, I am the chief treasurer of the Chamber of Commerce, in case something goes wrong in the future, my husband can still explain it clearly." ”In just one sentence, it shows the love of the beautiful woman, Du Shaoqing was moved to embrace Wu Zhao into his arms, and his face greedily enjoyed the tenderness of silence for a moment, and then said a little slyly: "What I just said is what ordinary family members know about me."
And of course you know me best, how can I do this kind of trading that is subject to others?
Of course, there is a solution to find the best of both worlds. ”"Huh?
You, you turned out that you lied to me" Wu Zhao was angry and shy, beating Du Shaoqing's chest.The two fought for a while, and then calmly returned to the tea table hand in hand, Du Shaoqing painted and analyzed with tea: "The person who knows you best is often the opponent, and I can expect that my Du Shaoqing's heavy feelings will be submissive, and I am afraid that there are only a few suspicious characters in Chang'an City." ”"Husband, do you mean that chubby old fox?"

Wu Zhao said hatefully."
He's very suspicious, but it's not exact.This is a conspiracy, if we don't want to break the net, then we can only accept it, I can't ignore the lives of the third uncle, directly refuse, or go to war to threaten the Western Turks, after all, the Western Turks are not ordinary small countries.It is impossible for the imperial court or even His Majesty to say that because of the war between two civilians, the Western Turks. ”Du Shaoqing said.Wu Zhao pursed his lips and said dissatisfiedly: "This is the current imperial court, there is no human touch, if I say, as long as it is a foreign enemy, no matter how big or small, as long as you dare to bully us, even if it is to detain one of our Datang people, whether he is a nobleman or a commoner, our Datang will use the power of the country to fight and rescue, not only to rescue, but also to retaliate."
If you don't have this spirit, don't boast of being a heavenly state. ”I, Du Shaoqing, looked at my empress daughter-in-law with a strange expression, and couldn't help but give her a thumbs up, domineering, such a domineering spirit, all the men in the world are covered by you."
Ahem, Madame's domineering is admirable, there will always be a chance for Madame to show her ambitions in the future, now let's still sum up, how can we calculate these Western Turkic barbarians, let them lose Madame and break their soldiers."
Du Shaoqing said comfortingly.The two discussed for a long time, and finally made a plan, and the next day, Du Shaoqing went to meet the secret agents of the Western Turks again, and Wu Zhao began to reformulate the business plan."
I've thought about it, our Du Family Chamber of Commerce is basically exercising the duties of the treasury now, so it's not realistic to rashly turn around and support you" Before Du Shaoqing finished speaking, the Western Turks interrupted: "Do you want your family to die?"
”"I don't want to, but if I take refuge in you, if I don't wait to save my third uncle and three aunts, dozens of members of my Du family will already be killed by the Tang Emperor first."
Du Shaoqing explained."
That's not the way to talk about it?
In this case, please press the horse for a few days, and in a few days we will send back the corpses of your third uncle and three aunts. ”The man turned and left.Such a resolute and unobtrusive one is clearly trained or even rehearsed a long time ago.Du Shaoqing was annoyed and roared angrily: "If you dare to touch my family, my Du Family Chamber of Commerce will retaliate with all its might, and even encourage the Tang Dynasty to send troops to destroy your Western Turks!"
”The man froze, turned his head calmly, and said in a cold voice: "My Western Turk is not a weak Goguryeo, nor is it a brainless Goguryeo.Half of your Du Family Chamber of Commerce's foreign business goes to the Western Regions, if we intervene in the Western Regions Trade Road, your Du Family Chamber of Commerce will have to cry and beg us.And the current situation of Datang, the extreme expansion in the past two years, the internal foundation is unstable, and it wants to use troops externally?
It is simply impossible without five years.So you don't have to bluff anymore. ”"It seems that you are not an ordinary person, you have such a precise control of the situation, you should be in a high position in the Western Turks, right?"
Du Shaoqing asked.The man smiled disdainfully: "Hehe, why bother with my words in vain?
It is said that you Du Shaoqing is the smartest person in the Tang Dynasty, and now it seems that it is nothing more than that, waiting to collect the corpse of your family. ”"Wait!
I agreed to cooperate. ”Du Shaoqing was in a hurry.The other party finally stood still, returned to the negotiation table again, and watched Du Shaoqing speak with interest.Du Shaoqing said helplessly: "It's not okay to switch to you, so I can only change the way."
After all, I am from the Tang Dynasty, and this loyalty cannot be betrayed, but money and other things outside the body can.I can ask the Chamber of Commerce to vigorously do business with your Western Turkic trade, in fact, I can find a random name to send you money, and ensure that you earn half of my Chamber of Commerce's money in a year.That's all, I really can't give anything else, and my family has to live.If you agree, I'll go and let the Chamber of Commerce make a plan for trade.If you don't agree, then I can't help it, although the third uncle and third aunt are my closest relatives, but after all, I was born in the mountains, I have been rich and noble over the years, and I have enjoyed a lot of blessings, and my children have also gone out to make contributions, so I don't have any regrets.I'll send someone to build them a luxurious tomb, and then I'll burn them some more paper money. ”"Okay, everyone knows that Du Juma is the best at acting, so there is no need to pretend, it is useless to say more, we can consider your conditions, although it is unlikely that we will cooperate on an equal footing, but we Western Turks do not want to make too much trouble with you.Let's wait for the news, I'll report to my king. ”The man turned and left.Du Shaoqing looked at the man's back and muttered in a low voice: "There are countless people who know that my medical skills are good, but there are really few who know that my acting skills are good, who are you colluding with to calculate me?"
”A few days later, Du Shaoqing got the news of the return, and the other party agreed to make an exchange in this way, and the two sides agreed that three months would be the test period, and if it could not be cashed out within three months, then the safety of the hostages could not be guaranteed.Immediately afterwards, the Dujia Chamber of Commerce issued an important notice to carry out the grassland trade route business, vigorously purchase wool, how much to want, the price is extremely high, and the wool of a sheep is a penny.In an instant, the entire Chang'an City, and even the entire business community were sensationalized, and the Dujia Chamber of Commerce once again became the focus of heated discussions.Make no mistake, wool?
Is that thing worth it?
Did it work?
Or use a big buying?
Every year, the sheared wool of the sheep we raise at home is burned or buried, and at most it is made into a hard felt mat, how?
Could it be that the Dujia Chamber of Commerce wants to vigorously develop the felt mat business?
If you ask ten people on the street, eleven of them will say that the Du Family Chamber of Commerce is crazy, and there is too much money and no place to spend it.Seeing this situation, Du Shaoqing smiled all over his face and didn't explain.
