Chapter 783

The West slanting sun stuffed the light yellow light into the crack of the window and painted several straight lines on a shadow on the ground, of which several lights shone on the box, and the gold in it immediately gave off an attractive light. There seems to be few people in the world, men and women, who can resist this temptation.

Yang Shun will look at those big boxes. The brilliance in his eyes is the same color as the brilliance reflected in the boxes.

"Peter said... Da Sui is a giant dragon..."

Yang Shun sighed and took his eyes back from the box.

"How could he know that the dragon is now terminally ill."

The tone is a little lonely and sad.

Dong An, the most trusted aide of Yang Shun Hui, sighed, took his eyes back from the glittering big boxes, and said in silence for a while: "It should be that foreigners didn't understand the current situation of the great Sui Dynasty, so they came up with generous gifts. I heard that the opru empire was about to unify the land on the other side of the ocean. Is that a real dragon?"

He doesn't know, and neither does Yang Shunhui. The dragon in the eyes of the Central Plains people and the dragon in the eyes of the foreigners are not a concept at all. In the eyes of the Sui people, the dragon is dignified, just and powerful. In the eyes of the foreigners, the dragon is greedy, cruel and powerful... Only strength is the only same place.

If you want a greedy dragon to spit out gold that can fill ten boxes from its mouth, you should be vigilant about the purpose of the dragon. Unfortunately, Yang Shunhui and Dong An, who think foreigners don't know big Sui, don't know foreigners at all.

"In fact, the civil strife in the Sui Dynasty is not all bad."

Dong an smiled and said, "if the great Sui Dynasty is still as stable as before, even if the great general wants to manage it, he can't manage it. Even if foreigners carry these gold, the great general will have to hand it over to the court. As for whether to agree or not to agree to the requirements of foreigners, it will take three or five months to reach a conclusion at the court meeting. If it's not good, it will take three or five years to argue."

"Now... It's all between you and the senior general. If the senior general thinks it's feasible, then the foreigner's merchant ships can dock early tomorrow morning. If the senior general thinks it's not feasible, it doesn't work if the foreigner breaks his throat."

Yang Shunhui smiled and seemed to enjoy such words.

"What do you think?"

Yang Shun would ask, "should you send someone to discuss this matter with the people in Mu house? And... A while ago, the military solution of black flag specially sent someone to send a handwritten letter to let me be careful of those foreigners. I've been wondering if Fang Xie has received any news these days, otherwise how can I think of reminding me of this for no reason?"

"Black flag Army... Ignore it."

Dong An Road: "Not to mention Fang Xie is just a little guy who came into the house by chance. Even if he was born in a famous family and powerful, he can't take care of Muping's affairs. In my opinion, this man is just looking for an excuse to be close to the general, or maybe... This is the poison of the ancients. He tries to repair the distance with people who are far away Those who are near raise their knives. "

Yang Shun will be slightly stunned: "if so, he is a figure."

"My subordinates think that he has no such insight. It's good that the senior general of the black flag army can ignore it. If the people sent by Fang Xie ask for a meeting again, the senior general will just send them away. It's the Mu house... You should be careful. After all, the Mu house has too much strength in the east of the big Sui Dynasty. Since the civil strife in the big Sui Dynasty, the people in the Mu house seem honest and loyal to the imperial court Swear allegiance, but in recent years, we have intermittently replaced almost all the generals of the border army with people from Mu house. Now a word from Mu house is more effective here than the imperial edict. "

"But..."

Dong An's tone changed: "If this matter is discussed with the Mu family in advance, even if someone is sent to the Mu family in the northeast, plus discussion, it will take more than a month. At that time, foreigners are afraid that they have lost their patience, general... There is more than Muping in the East... Besides, if this matter is notified to the Mu family in advance, there are two points that are unfavorable to you."

"What?"

Yang Shun will ask.

"One!"

Dong an stretched out a finger and said, "if this matter gets out, it will have a great impact on the great general. After all, you are still the top three general of the great Sui Dynasty. In terms of official position and title, you are no lower than the one in the Mu house. If you ask the Mu house for instructions, people are afraid to say something bad about you."

"Second, if you inform Mu's house, then this foreigner's gift..."

His words didn't finish, but Yang Shunhui immediately understood them.

He subconsciously glanced at the ten big boxes and fell silent.

"It's just that if you don't inform Mu's house, it will inevitably appear impolite. After all, Mu's house nodded to be able to garrison Mu Ping. If Mu's people don't nod, we are still stationed in Lishan."

Yang Shun said after a while.

Dong an shook his head: "Senior general, I don't know if you've considered one thing... Now the world is in chaos, the Sui Dynasty is broken, the country's generals are weak, and the people can't live in a place of war. The imperial court's decrees are less than 500 miles, which is not as effective as the orders of major families. Although there is an iron armor general fighting now, the iron armor army is less than 20000 no matter how powerful it is. There are hundreds of millions of people in the world, and these 20000 people are like A drop of water in the sea can't stop the general trend after all. Is it possible for a drop of water to reverse the flow of the Yangtze River? "

"So, senior general, you should plan ahead. It's a very correct and wise decision to lead troops out of Chang'an to the East. But now we can count on others. Everything depends on the face of the Mu house. It's better to say that you have a deep friendship with the man in the Mu house. It's the alms of the Mu house. Why is Jin Shixiong so tired in the northwest Is it not because he is tired? He's the one who has the final say. "

"My subordinates think it's time for the senior general to consider expanding his strength. In troubled times, it's better to hold everything in his hand than to hold thousands of troops and horses. Even if the senior general doesn't want to dominate the world and holds powerful soldiers in his hand, no matter who sits in that chair, he won't look down on the senior general. To develop, what we need most now is... Silver!"

Dong An Road: "Once the coastal areas are opened up and foreigners are allowed to come over, the daily income will be a huge figure! Besides, if foreigners are allowed to do business, those Dongchu businessmen will be useless. At that time, the general will send troops to catch all Dongchu businessmen in the city. The money collected alone will be enough to recruit 50000 people! Don't say 50000, maybe 100000 no more!"

Hearing this, Yang Shunhui's eyes lit up.

"Just as Peter said, now foreigners are busy recovering their vitality. The first thing to do is business. We can reap profits from it and develop much faster than foreigners recovering their vitality! In less than three years, the great general will have 500000 soldiers. At that time, you will take the initiative no matter what choice the great general makes?"

Yang Shunhui was silent for a moment and said, "let me think about it again. You go back first, get in touch with Peter, and find out what's going on over the sea. I'm afraid to lead wolves into the house."

"Don't worry, general. Your subordinates will find out!"

Dong An said and left immediately.

Out of the general's mansion, Dong an couldn't help smiling at the setting sun falling in the West. He walked back along the street and looked with pity at the proud Dongchu businessmen in the street. He looked at the Dongchu people as if they were a lamb lying on the chopping board.

So he was in a good mood, and when he got home, he was in a better mood.

"Foreigners still have some credibility."

Looking at the two boxes filled with gold in his bedroom, he couldn't help holding up a handful of gold coins and sticking them to his face. No matter what shape, gold... Is always gold.

Goods all over the sky down shop

Another day was about to pass, and more and more pedestrians were on the street. Before dark, businessmen from all over Muping began to look for restaurants and brothels for entertainment, while those Dongchu people began to return to their camp with goods. In order to ensure safety, there was a special camp for Dongchu businessmen in Muping city.

Dongchu people depend on the Sui people because they earn their money from the Sui people. But they look down on the Sui people. They think that the temperament of the Sui people is very annoying. The Sui people also look down on the Dongchu people, because the Dongchu people are stingy no matter how rich they are. They don't celebrate because they earn money and rarely go to brothels.

If you meet a group of Dongchu people and a group of Sui people in the restaurant, you can quickly recognize them even if they wear the same clothes. It must be sui people who order a large table of dishes, and it must be Dongchu people who are picky about only a few dishes on the table. Sui people rush to give money when paying the bill, and it must be Dongchu people who pretend to be stupid.

Zuo mingchan squeezed out of the crowd in the street and returned to the shop. After seeing Zhou Mingli, the two tacitly went to the second floor.

"Find out what?"

Zhou Mingli asked urgently.

"There's something wrong with the caravans from the city!"

Zuo mingchan whispered: "Ordinary caravans are not so heavily guarded. Even my men can hardly get past them. It seems that those different caravans are connected. My people stare at them and find that the leaders of those caravans met in a restaurant, but they soon dispersed. I'm very careful. It's difficult to find out their origin in the city. I'm going to wait until they leave the city Start. The defenders in the city are not familiar with us, so we are not sure to start in the city. "

"I'll choose some good skills to go with you."

Zhou Mingli said.

"OK"

Zuo mingchan nodded: "I don't have many people with me. It's OK to attack a caravan for fear that they have any backup. Moreover... I doubt that these caravans are not businessmen at all. When I stared at one of them today, the wind blew, and one of them blew his robe outside to reveal his royal clothes."

"Royal clothes?"

Zhou Mingli was stunned: "people from the government?"

"The people of the government are nothing."

Zuo mingchan shook her head and looked worried: "what I'm worried about is... People in the army."

"Find out anyway"

Zhou Mingli said, "it's even more unusual if the people of the army are trading with the people of Dongchu. The goods of the merchants of Dongchu are of little use to the army, and the army doesn't need to spend a lot of money to buy back some messy things."

"You mean, what do they want to cover up in the name of the caravan? The goods they receive are all a cover up?"

Zuo mingchan asked.

Zhou Mingli nodded: "No matter what, I can't help but check. Since I'm not a member of Yang Shunhui in disguise, nine times out of ten the troops in the east of the big Sui Dynasty are in the hands of the Mu family... Is it necessary for the Mu family to deal with the people of the East Chu like this? The people of the East Chu have to send what the Mu family wants directly! Unless they buy something that can't be seen... And even Yang Shunhui has to hide it "Wait!"

"Hiding from Yang Shunhui? Why did you give Mou Ping to him?"

Zuo mingchan suddenly thought of something. A flash of light passed away. Too soon, he thought carefully, but he didn't have a clue.
