“Actually, you can resign and not do it.”
Yun Zhao took a sip of tea and smiled half-heartedly. Looked at Hong Chengchou.
Hong Chengchou sneered and said: "Why? A certain family has been in poverty for ten years and has been worn out by iron inkstones. Only then has it reached its current position. It will be difficult and difficult to go forward. You ask me to give in. How can a certain family be willing to do so? ?”
Yun Zhao said with a smile: “The ancestors of the Hong family are already old, and my wife has been waiting alone for many years. She has been looking forward to your return day and night, but you are wandering outside alone, with no food or clothing. Not to mention being beaten by thieves, is this still a life for people?"
Hong Chengchou laughed and said, "You have to be a prime minister of a country and leave your name in history before you can go home."
Yun Zhaodao: "At that time, you probably won't be able to give birth to a son. You can only hold a grandson. It doesn't mean much to go home with a stooped body and white hair."
"From what you say, it seems that you want to recruit me."
"If you want to come, I will give you as much authority as I have."
Hong Chengchou smiled and said: "No one who is a side by side king has a good end. If I really come to Lantian County and really get the same authority as you, within five years, either you will die or I will die. There is absolutely no possibility of coexistence.
Pig, you still don’t know enough about power. When you recruit people in the future, you should honestly position yourself correctly and don’t be stingy about what you deserve. He should be cut off from his thoughts as early as possible. Who should be in charge? It must be made clear. Make it clear and draw a red line for everyone. Those who cross the red line will reach out to cut off their hands and legs. They dare not have any A little bit of kindness.
No matter how useful a person is, if he always covets your position, you cannot want such a person. The greater the ability, the greater the harm.
If you want to recruit me, you will be more harmful. It's not impossible, you have to wait until I'm at the end of my rope and reach out to help you. Only then can I help you with all my heart.
Because at that time, I knew very well that you were the only one who really wanted to help you. If you take a fancy to me and my talent, it will be natural for me to join you when the time comes. I will be grateful and will not have any other thoughts."
Yun Zhao said with satisfaction: "Okay, I remember, I will wait until you are at the end of your rope, desperate, and ruined before I recruit you to come to Lantian County to enjoy the blessings."
Hong Chengchou was about to nod in agreement. , suddenly frowned and said: "Why do you have to wait until my reputation is ruined?"
Yun Zhaodao: "This is the method you just taught me. If you don't lose your reputation, how can you be at the end of your rope and desperate?
Yun Zhaodao: "This is the method you just taught me. p>
You have such a great reputation, coupled with a lot of old friends and relatives, how can I, a native of Shaanxi, dare to use you if you don’t ruin your reputation?”
Hong Chengchou thought for a moment and said painfully: “ That's the truth, but just think about it, I won't let myself get to that point.
How about we continue.bet?
Yun Zhao shook his head and said: "I won't bet with you. If I win your bet, I will usually lose more." "
"How are you preparing your arrangements in Guihua City? Can they be put to use? "
Yun Zhao shook his head and said: "Guihua City is now a vampire, constantly sucking the blood of Huang Taiji, and also sucking the blood of Zhangjiakou merchants. Of course, sometimes it may even suck a little more. my blood.
Everyone is looking forward to the revival of Guihua City, and everyone hopes that there will be a fertile and wild situation around Guihua City.
It is impossible to be of any help to you or the court at this time.
Hong Chengchou said: "It's good to have hope. With you outside the Great Wall, at least we won't be helpless as we watch the slaves roaming the Great Wall."
I heard that you had a falling out with Gao Qiqian?
Is there still hope for the cannons and gunpowder promised to the Tianxiong Army?
Yun Zhao frowned and said: "Gao Qiqian cherishes his life very much. He refuses to leave Xi'an City even a step, which makes it impossible for me to attack him."
So, I had to start with the eunuch assistants beside him, Zhang Yunhan and Han Zanzhou, to see if they could get rid of this dead eunuch.
I think there should be good news within a month.
Hong Chengchou nodded and said: "It would be great if there is a way. The Tianxiong Army is currently in a very difficult situation. My defeat this time will put even more pressure on them. Therefore, after His Majesty dismisses me, Before taking up the post, I transferred all the remaining cannons and gunpowder in the army to Lu Xiangsheng, which was regarded as helping you fulfill your promise. After you get those cannons and gunpowder, remember to return the money to me with interest. "
Yun Zhao exclaimed: "This is a very good plan of yours, leaving an empty military camp for the new person. After you regain control of the power, you only need to pull things from my house. Your military camp will be full in no time, and it will become a powerful army again.
Let me ask you, are you officials so shameless?
Hong Chengchou smiled and said: "Pig, since you pity the people of the Ming Dynasty, then pity them to the end. You don't know how hard it is in the army. I gave all the cannons and gunpowder to Lu Xiangsheng. Don't you?" Do you think I am committing corruption and perverting the law? "
Yun Zhao smiled and said: "If I were another person, I would definitely think so.
Hong Chengchou waved his hand and said: "In that case, what do you have to complain about?" I know you are very busy, let's go. Don't come empty-handed next time. To see the sick and injured, why didn't you bring any supplements..."
"The King of Qin gave me two palaces of the King of Qin. I don’t dare to take these beauties home. Otherwise, I’ll give them to you. Treat them well. They are all miserable people. ”
“I just injured my waist, and you’re going to give me a beauty?” This is not a gift, it's a reminder. If Hong Chengchou doesn't refuse Qian Cai, forget about the beauty. After all, I just told you that I miss Han's wife. Since you don't plan to give it, I don't plan to accept it. "
Yun Zhao walked to the door and stopped, looking back at Hong Chengchou who was tied like a rice dumpling and said:"We all need to take care, and we all need to live well and prepare to face the dark moments that are coming."
Hong Chengchou sighed and slowly closed his eyes.
Yun Zhao left Hong Chengchou's home in Xi'an City. The streets were bustling with people, and merchants were constantly hawking their goods in Qin Yin, which sounded like a curse. It took Yun Zhao's carriage only a stick of incense to walk out of the bustling street.
This bustling commercial street is where Hong Chengchou and Yun Zhao set up to do business with Mongolians and Uzbeans.
At the end of May every year, this place will be crowded with people. Not only a large number of merchants come in to do business, but also countless brothels set up stages here, with countless beauties in palace costumes. Play the piano, dance, recite poetry and sing.
It makes people feel like they have returned to the prosperous age of the Tang Dynasty.
Yun Zhao sat in the carriage and looked at the scene outside, feeling a little happy and a little sad. He still remembered listening to the song "Double-Faced Yan Xun" in front of the Big Wild Goose Pagoda and looking at some beauties in ancient costumes. Dance "Beautiful People" there.
The audience is like a mountain, the applause is like thunder, and the beauties are proud... Now, the Big Wild Goose Pagoda is gray and gray, with no colored lights, no stunning beauties, only some monks dressed like beggars, looking like they are With cloudy eyes, I hope there are some devout pilgrims who can give them some money and food.
Yun Zhao raised his hand and threw a broken piece of silver into the old monk's alms bowl. The sound of the silver hitting the copper alms bowl was crisp, like ringing a bell.
I thought that the old monk with profound cultivation would ignore money. Unexpectedly, the old monk collected the broken silver with lightning speed and continued to place the empty alms bowl in front of him.
Perhaps, at this moment, he would thank Buddha. As for Yun Zhao who lost the money, he was just an unjust person sent by Buddha to give him money.
"Can you dance "Beautiful People"?"
Yun Zhao asked the two thin little girls in front of him.
One of the big-eyed little girls shook her head in confusion.
"Have you heard the song "Double-faced Yan Xun"?"
The little girl blinked her big ignorant eyes and looked a little scared.
"We can sing some Shuimo tunes and some new songs "The Peony Pavilion". When Tang's direct disciples came to Xi'an, we watched it and secretly learned some of it ourselves."
< p>The little girl quickly said something she knew. She was very afraid that if she continued to act useless, there might be a terrible fate waiting for them."We are going to Lantian County." In order to appease the two restless little girls, Yun Zhao revealed the destination of the trip.
"Lantian County?"
"Yes, I am the county magistrate."
"I can dance. I can watch any kind of dance just once I can learn it." The other little girl, who looked pale and seemed a little dull, finally spoke. "You can sell us to a brothel, can we?Less money. "
Yun Zhao smiled and said: "You can actually rely on weaving to support you. ”
“I don’t weave, I just like to dance. As long as I can dance, it doesn’t matter where I dance.” ”
