"Xiaowen, why did Tian Feng say not to take his credit in Yuan shaomian?"
Bai Xiaowen said: "Tian Feng knows Yuan Shao very well. In the romance, Yuan Shao''s Guandu was defeated. Some prison officials told Tian Feng and congratulated him. They thought that Tian Feng had advised Yuan Shao not to go to war earlier, but now Yuan Shao lost without listening to the advice, so he must reuse Tian Feng. But Tian Feng said that when Yuan Shao returned, if he had no face to see me, he would kill me. The fact was just as Tian Feng expected."
"If I sneak into Xudu and make meritorious contributions and let yuan Shaoda break Cao Jun, he will naturally forgive Tian Feng and show his generosity. If I say this is Tian Feng''s help, it''s as bad as eating a fly for Yuan Shao who has a good face. Therefore, Tian Fengcai won''t let me mention him."
Li Shuyi sighed: "do you smart people always play charades like this? How can others understand?"
Bai Xiaowen smiled and wisely didn''t have an interface. Instead, he said, "it''s only three o''clock now. Go to Zhen''s house to meet my cheap father-in-law."
Zhen is a wealthy businessman in Zhongshan County, Jizhou. She is much richer than Julu Tian family. Since the marriage with general Yuan Shao, Zhen has a backer. Since then, she has extended her tentacles into Yecheng, bought shops in the city and good fields outside the city, and her family business is even more prosperous.
Bai Xiaowen went to Zhen''s house in Yecheng.
However, after the briefing, Bai Xiaowen saw not cheap father-in-law Zhen Yi, but his cheap brother-in-law, Zhen Yan, Zhen Mi''s brother.
According to Zhen Yan, Zhen Yi left the day before yesterday and went back to his hometown in Zhongshan County.
Bai Xiaowen was a little disappointed, but after talking to Zhen Yan, he found that his wife and brother were calm and well behaved. He didn''t look like an ordinary rich man.
Bai Xiaowen still believes in the Zhen family. After all, the Zhen family and the second son of yuan have married, and both sides can be said to be prosperous and lossy. It would be a great good thing for Zhen if the second childe of yuan could ascend.
But the former Yuan Xi was too mean and cowardly, and Zhen did not have the ambition to participate in the struggle for heirs.
It''s different now.
Bai Xiaowen can find Zhen Yan''s calm and extraordinary, and Zhen Yan can naturally detect the obvious temperament change of his brother-in-law (charm bonus).
Bai Xiaowen handed Zhen Mi''s letter to Zhen Yan and said his intention. He even said the news that he had won the support of Julu Tian without reservation.
Zhen Yan didn''t think about it for long. Maybe Tian Feng''s name was too loud. After seeing the cover (not the content) of Tian Feng''s secret letter, he said happily:
"In the absence of my father, you can handle the property of Yecheng. There are still 50 pieces of gold, 1000 pieces of silk and 5000 pieces of corn in the library. All of them are delivered to the virtuous younger brother to help the virtuous younger brother secretly raise troops and horses and make achievements!"
Fifty liang of gold and 24 liang of gold are equivalent to 1200 liang of gold. According to the gold and silver price of the three Lingjie countries, it is 12000 yuan (consistent = 1000 Wen).
There are thousands of pieces of silk. One piece of silk is about two thousand pieces, which is mainly in kind. In the era of war and chaos, sometimes you can''t buy it with money.
Five thousand Dendrobium of corn, one Dendrobium is equal to one stone. At this time, the price is expensive, and one stone of corn rises to two or three times. Five thousand Dendrobium millet, at least ten thousand yuan in terms of money, is also not easy to buy.
In a word, this cheap brother-in-law is really different from ordinary people. He made an investment of more than 20000.
Of course, this investment does not hurt Zhen''s muscles and bones. The Zhen family of Hebei Province is one of the "economic pillars" of Yuan Shao group. At the beginning, Yuan Shao''s financial support was more than ten times and a hundred times?
The more than 20000 investment promised by Zhen Yan is only part of the industry Zhen has developed in Yecheng in recent years.
In particular, what makes Bai Xiaowen comfortable is Zhen Yan''s considerate service. The promised gold and silver can be taken away by Bai Xiaowen''s baggage vehicles. As for silk, grain and corn, they are transported to Youzhou by Zhen''s caravan and can arrive in a few days.
After the agreement, Bai Xiaowen looked at Zhen Yan with different eyes.
[this... First married my sister to me, and then gave me a large subsidy. This is my mi Zhu!]
Of course, MI Zhu''s financial support to Liu Bei is much higher. After all, he is the head of the family. Before Zhen Yan got the advice of Zhen''s family leader, he did his best to give so many subsidies and showed a strong strategic investment vision.
Zhen Yan can give generously, not only because of Bai Xiaowen''s charm, but also because Tian Feng supports Bai Xiaowen''s statement. To put it bluntly, it is his trust in Tian Feng''s vision.
Bai Xiaowen said goodbye to Zhen Yan and returned to the general''s house.
Just back, I met yuan Shang, the third younger brother of cheap. The boy probably has eyes and ears in the house. Someone informed him of Bai Xiaowen''s leaving the house.
Yuan Shang was puzzled. Seeing that his mediocre second brother was so restless, he certainly wanted to beat one or two. Bai Xiaowen didn''t bother to argue with him. Anyway, no other people in the spiritual world saw it. He just gave yuan Shang a few soft words, which made Li Shuyi angry.
"The third yuan, looking at his arrogant and domineering appearance, really wants to kill him with a sword."
Bai Xiaowen smiled and shook his head. "Why do you care so much about such a shallow person? I can''t lose a piece of meat without a few soft words. It''s enough for him not to trip me."
After a busy night, Qiao Rui and Han Xu led the remaining cavalry to Yecheng the next morning.
Bai Xiaowen went to see Mrs. Liu again, presented a gift and pleaded guilty to going back to Youzhou.
The foreshadowing played a role. Mrs. Liu thought that the situation in Youzhou was unstable, so she didn''t stay too much. Yuan Shang and Yuan Tan were relieved to see that Bai Xiaowen had no intention of competing for favor in front of his mother.
Yuan Shang, in particular, thought that the beating was effective and was secretly proud not to mention it.
Bai Xiaowen left the general''s house and briefly explained the current situation.
"You''ve got Tian Feng''s support and more than 20000 yuan from Zhen?" Qiao Rui stared. Bai Xiaowen had opened the situation for a long time.
It can be said that with these 20000 resources, the army''s combat effectiveness required by the main task has been easily completed, and there is even surplus
Bai Xiaowen said with a smile: "it is mainly due to Yuan Xi''s status. Without this level of identity, it is impossible to get so many resources in one day with the white body of the awakened person."
"That''s what I said, but I can''t get it with status. The captain''s personal ability is very important." Jorie praised it.
Bai Xiaowen smiled and then said, "let''s start assigning tasks now. This time we''ll act separately. I''ll take Cecilia back to Youzhou to raise the army; Shuyi, you go to Guandu and take this letter from Tian Feng to find Tian Yu and open up the intelligence channel on the front line of Guandu. Lao Han takes another letter to the Tian family of Julu and asks for a sum of money to transport to Youzhou!"
"What about me?" Qiao Rui tilted her head and looked at Bai Xiaowen.
Bai Xiaowen smiled: "Sister Qiao''s task is the most important. You have to sit in Yecheng, which is the center of Jizhou. The intelligence sent from the Guandu front line should be screened, selected and sent to Youzhou as soon as possible to let me know. In addition, you should also be responsible for finding out the best military route in Jizhou, so that our cavalry in Youzhou can bypass the Guandu front line and go straight to Xudu!"
