Zhu Nao

Chapter 120 As the saying goes, three armies are easy to get, but one general is hard to find.

Soon, Jin Min led people to the gate of the official residence.You Gan and others who started one step ahead of him were already waiting for him at the gate of the government.

When the two teams converged, You Gan sized up the people brought by Jin Min, and his gaze was attracted by Xie Wuji again.He met Xie Wuji the first time he went to Jin Min to discuss the joint venture, and he was still amazed when he saw it again this time.He couldn't help but said: "Deputy Captain Jin, your subordinate is really handsome."

When he said this, the eyes of the Shu merchants all fell on Xie Wuji, and they whispered to Xie Wuji.Not to mention being in an army full of sloppy soldiers, with Xie Wuji's appearance, even among pampered young masters, he would be extremely rare.

Seeing Xie Wuji being watched, Jin Min was very nervous, for fear that this would cause trouble for Xie Wuji.Xie Wuji himself didn't care too much, he just said whatever he wanted.

After all, the fact that these Shu merchants dare to judge him just means that they don't know or doubt his identity.Otherwise, even if they borrowed their courage, they might not dare to discuss it face to face.

Jin Min quickly changed the topic: "Brother You, it's almost time, let's go in quickly, don't keep the officials waiting."

When he said that, You Gan stopped making jokes and made a gesture of invitation: "That's right. Vice-Captain Jin invites you first."

Since it is an alliance, Jin Min has to be polite to him: "Brother You, please."

The two of them went in together with the officials after a bit of politeness.

When all the people entered the government house, the people who had gathered around to watch the fun dispersed.

If Xie Wuji turned his head at this time, he would see "Jia Yizhen" and Cheng Shiba, whom he had been looking for these days, standing on the side of the street and looking at him after the crowd dispersed.It's a pity that all his thoughts were focused on observing the Shu merchants around him, let alone turning his head, he didn't even turn his head.

Standing outside the gate of the official mansion, Zhu Nao watched Xie Wuji's back gradually disappearing, and said with great interest, "Wu Hui... Wuhui...haha."

Cheng Jingzhe had a complicated expression: "That person can't really be Xie Wuji, can he?"

Zhu Nao said, "Very likely."

After standing at the gate of the government for a long time, the officers and soldiers guarding the gate noticed them and stared at them vigilantly, as if they were about to come over to check their identities.So Zhu Nao didn't stay any longer, turned around and left.

He is different from Xie Wuji, he still wants to be free in the city for a few days, so he has no plan to go to the government to negotiate in person.He has already explained all the things that should be explained to Yugan, and he believes that Yugan can handle it well.

Jing Zhe quickly followed Zhu Nao, feeling excited about this guess: "My lord, if that person is really Xie Wuji, this is a good opportunity for us to strike. If we secretly tied him up, wouldn't his [-] army be leaderless?" ?”

Zhu Nao let out a "huh" and asked, "And then?"

Jing Zhe was taken aback.Then?Then……

As the saying goes, to capture a thief, you must first capture the king. As long as Xie Wuji is captured, the [-] army will surely fall into chaos, and even be torn apart.At that time, wouldn't they have the opportunity to embezzle and annex this well-trained army?Earlier, when Zhu Nao sent Wei Yue to take Jianzhou, he used a similar method.And such an army with war experience is exactly what they lack now!

But after thinking a little deeper, he found that this plan was not so easy.They were able to win Jianzhou because they had the ability to govern Jianzhou themselves.But they don't have the ability to manage the army right now.Otherwise, what would they do to pick other people's peaches?It's not that Shuzhong can't recruit 3 horses.

So... Even if Xie Jiajun's situation is really muddied, it will only harm others and benefit himself.

But when he thought that the young man might be the famous Xie Wuji, they would do nothing, Jing Zhe always felt reconciled.He thought: "Then if we capture him, at least we can negotiate terms with the [-] army?"

Now they are cooperating with Xie Jiajun to carve up Guanzhong together, which is actually not the best way for them.But because of the threat of Xie Jiajun, they had to make a compromise.If they can conquer Guanzhong alone, of course it would be best.

Zhu Nao smiled and said: "Forcing people to bow their heads is only a temporary solution, not a long-term solution. Even if they succeed this time, they will take revenge sooner or later."

Seeing that Zhu Nao had no such intention, Jing Zhe stopped talking.He was just thinking about it casually, whether that person is Xie Wuji himself is not sure.

But Zhu Nao said again: "What's more..."

Jing Zhe hurriedly turned to look at him, listening to what he had to say.

With a smile on his lips, Zhu Nao stared into the distance: "What's more, compared to the [-] army, what I want more is Xie Wuji."

Jing Zhe was stunned.

As the saying goes, three armies are easy to get, but one general is hard to find.What this said was originally referring to the rarity of talents.But if these words are placed on Xie Wuji... Perhaps it will be much more difficult to subdue this person than to subdue his [-] army...

……

On the other side, You Gan, Jin Min and others have entered the official lobby and started negotiations with the officials.

The officials found that Jin Min had brought an extra handsome face this time, so they couldn't help but looked at it a few more times, but they just looked at it and didn't think much about it.

This matter has been dragging on for a long time, and it is not surprising that the two sides have sent additional people to help.What's more, if you beat them to death, you can't imagine that Zhu Nao and Xie Wuji would have the courage to leave their lair and go deep into the dragon's lake and tiger's lair in person.

As for Jing Zhaoyin Fei Cen, he didn't even notice the newcomer Xie Wuji was there.Because right now he was so angry that he didn't care about it at all.

In the past two months, whether Jin Min or You Gan, they have met and talked with Fezen many times.But they had never seen Fezen's face look so ugly like today.It's no wonder that no one would be able to laugh if someone else sat in Feizen's position.

——You must know that whether it is Chengdu Mansion or Xie Jiajun, both of them give Fei Cen a headache.He originally thought that it would be the worst thing for both parties to come to Guanzhong to negotiate terms with him, but he didn't expect it could be worse!That is, the two sides actually joined hands!

The Shu merchants were in charge of lures, and Xie Jiajun was in charge of intimidation. In just a few days, they had won over the local forces in Guanzhong to the point of obedience.As for Fei Cen, even though he was Jing Zhaoyin, without the support of local forces, he would be a poor commander, and his own position would not be secure, let alone others.Coupled with Xie Jiajun's threat of force, Jingzhao Mansion is already suffering from internal and external troubles at this time, and he no longer has much right to speak and means to use.

Fei Cen couldn't laugh, but You Gan laughed happily.He presented their newly prepared plan to the officials, and then proposed item by item.Every time he put forward an item, he stopped to ask Fei Cen's opinion: "Does Fei Cen think this matter is feasible?"

Fei Cen's face was livid, and he didn't even want to say anything.

You Gan ignored him, and turned to other officials who participated in the meeting, such as Secretary, Yaoji, Kong Mu, etc., and asked, "Do you think this is feasible?"

The officials attending the meeting looked at me, I looked at you, and they looked at Fetzen.

Someone nodded first: "If this can be done, it will definitely promote the prosperity of Guanzhong's industry and commerce, and benefit the people's livelihood. In my opinion, it is feasible."

Someone immediately echoed: "Yes, this is a win-win solution, and I think it is feasible."

"Yes, yes."

These officials represent various forces in the local area. They have been instructed long ago and have colluded with Yougan, so they will naturally speak for Yougan.But Fei Cen dared not speak out, so he could only continue to keep a straight face and remain silent.

You Gan continued to speak one by one like this.

Zhu Nao's vision is very vicious. After staying in Guanzhong for not long, he found many business opportunities in Guanzhong that can be developed but have not yet been developed.The plan changed by him involves almost every aspect.In order to avoid some resistance when entering Guanzhong, he tried not to compete with the original forces, but chose to share the profits.Therefore, he also received the support of a large number of local forces.

With the support of local forces, the negotiations this time went very smoothly.Even without a word from Fetzen, many of the terms were passed by the rest of the officials without controversy.However, because Zhu Nao wanted to cover too many aspects, not all of them were approved by local forces, and some clauses were controversial.

When You Gan was discussing with the officials of the Jingzhao Mansion, Xie Wuji sat in the crowd, listening carefully to what You Gan said, while silently observing You Gan.

The reason why he came here personally today was not to stumbling the Shu merchants during the negotiation.It was because the plan of the Shu merchants was an eye-opener for him, and he was determined to learn.

After all, You Gan has been in business for many years, and his eloquence is very outstanding.Moreover, he can be favored by Zhu Nao and hold such an important position, which shows that his own ability should not be underestimated.Whether it is the speed of adapting to changes or the quickness of thinking, he is better than most people.

No matter what officials asked him, he could answer fluently and clearly.And it's obvious that they want to make a profit, but he still has a way to say how much benefit the other party can get.It is easy for officials to step into the hole he dug if their stance is a little less firm, and they are often rendered speechless by his words.

Just now Xie Wuji just looked at the plan sent by You Gan, and already felt that this plan was extremely powerful.Listening to You Gan's supplementary analysis one by one, it is even more insightful and rewarding, but it is a pity that it is inconvenient to take notes at this moment.

After spending a lot of time, You Gan finally put forward all their new plans, and most of the terms were successfully reached an agreement with the Jingzhao government officials, and they will be implemented soon.There are also a small number of disputes that cannot be settled, so they can only be shelved temporarily, and the discussion will continue at another time.

After the Shu merchants finished talking, it was Xie Jiajun's turn.

Xie Jiajun did not have such complicated requirements as the Shu merchants. Their conditions were very simple: before the spring plowing, Xie Wuji would bring 1 people into Qinchuan to garrison troops.Jingzhao Mansion needs to allocate at least [-] mu of land to him.Of course, they can bring people to reclaim the wasteland by themselves.If the conditions of the garrison are bad, and there are bandits and rebels, they can also clean them up by the way.They have reached an agreement with Shu merchants for living expenses and food, grass and military pay, and these do not require Jingzhao government to invest in these.

This kind of condition is actually much milder than the condition they raised when they first came here.The main reason is that Jingzhao government no longer needs to help with food and pay, and it also ensures that the army will not expropriate people's property, which will greatly reduce the resistance of the people.

As for the [-] mu of land, it is actually not a big problem for the Jingzhao Mansion—the Guanzhong is so chaotic now, Fezen only needs to allocate the areas occupied by bandits and rebels to Xie Wuji, anyway, the taxes in these places are already low. Not much can be collected, and the transfer will not cause much substantial loss to Jingzhao Mansion.As for the loss of personal power and possible future troubles, it is not up to Fezen to decide.

Fetzen finally spoke: "But about the plague..."

Jin Min said coldly: "There is no plague in our army!"

You Gan hurriedly said with a smile: "Master Fei, the rumor of the plague is purely a rumor. The common people must have been provoked by others and misbelieved the rumor. It doesn't matter, just don't do it with great fanfare. When General Xie leads troops in, If the bandits and rogues are dealt with and the law and order are stabilized, the rumors will be self-defeating."

Fetzen stopped talking again.

He actually hoped that Xie Wuji's army would really suffer from the plague.In this way, if the two sides fight, he still has some possibility of winning.But looking at the current situation, the plague may really be just nonsense.More importantly, Xie Jiajun hooked up with the Shu merchants, so he didn't have to worry about food and grass.Then what else to fight?He has no chance of winning. It would be quicker to strangle himself to death with a rope.

Ever since, several conditions put forward by Jin Min were quickly passed.Once the officials made up their minds, they also decided on the garrison area assigned to Xie Wuji.

No matter for You Gan or Jin Min, this was the smoothest time they talked.It only took a few hours for them to confirm the general matters with Jingzhao Mansion, leaving only some details to be discussed.

It was getting late at this time, so everyone agreed to continue the negotiation tomorrow and the next day, and left the house.

……

Jin Min took the people back to the residence, and it was already dark.He ordered people to hurry to prepare dinner, while he and Xie Wuji went into the room to discuss.

"General," Jin Min said, "Those Shu merchants really have business skills. Today I saw that when they came up with various plans, the face of Governor Fei turned blue."

Although Jin Min himself doesn't know much about making money in business, he knows how to read people's faces.Just looking at Fei Cen's sore face, he knew that all the Shu merchants were going to get involved in was the most profitable business in Guanzhong.

Xie Wuji didn't even have the time to talk to him, he was busy grinding and picking up his pen, and while he still remembered what the Shu merchant said just now, he hurriedly jotted down some key points.

Jin Min leaned forward and saw Xie Wuji writing non-stop, and didn't know how he could help, so he could only stand aside.

Not long after, Xie Wuji finished writing all the points he remembered, and finally put down the pen to dry the ink on the paper.

Only then did Jin Min dare to ask: "What does the general remember? Didn't You Gan already give us a plan?"

Xie Wuji said: "This is all that he didn't write on the paper."

Jin Min nodded.It seems that Xie Wuji is really very interested in the Shu merchant's plan.

Xie Wuji said: "You instruct a few people that when you go to the government to discuss tomorrow, ask them to write down all the words that the Shu merchants said. Also, you will let people investigate clearly which local forces are involved in every plan of the Shu merchants. .”

Jin Min was stunned for a moment, finally understood Xie Wuji's intention, and immediately beamed with joy: "The general means that we can learn from them?!"

Xie Wuji nodded.

Jin Min tapped his palm with his fist and finally realized: "That's right! They can come to Guanzhong to open workshops and do business, can't we? Once we learn their methods, we can earn money by ourselves. !"

Originally, he was going to join forces with Shu merchants, but he felt aggrieved.After all, if it wasn't for the Shu merchants spreading rumors, they would have already reached an agreement with the Jingzhao Mansion, and the army might have moved in by now.But now thinking of this, his heart immediately calmed down.

This is a good opportunity for them to steal a teacher.As long as they have thoroughly studied the plan of the Shu merchants, they can use their strength to drive the Shu merchants out and implement them themselves.After stabilizing the situation and earning money, do you still need to worry about food and salary in the future?

Thinking of the future prospects, Jin Min was really happy.As for abandoning their alliance with Shu merchants by this move, he didn't feel guilty in his heart.They joined forces with Shu merchants not because of righteousness, but because of interests, and sooner or later they would break up because of interests.What's more, Shu merchants are cunning and treacherous, don't they have their own calculations?

Jin Min smiled and said, "The general is indeed powerful, and my subordinates will order you to continue."

Xie Wuji didn't see any joy, he just leaned on the back of the chair, his expression seemed to be slightly worried.He said "hmm", then closed his eyes and thought about it, no more words.
