Chapter 128
Old Man Bi had no longer thought about this, but when Old Man Zhang said this, he had to think about it again. After thinking for a while, he said, "It shouldn't be possible? Even if the Zhang family found a place there, how could they have so many people going to establish the country?
To use local people? They don’t understand the language from local people, and this will not work for a while. Think about it, just the Zhang family, when they get there, it should be very difficult to deal with local people. If we really want to establish a country, won’t the Tang Dynasty beat them here?"
"Why should I fight them? That's not the land of the Tang Dynasty. Do you really think that the world is under the jurisdiction of the Tang Dynasty, and we are not familiar with it there. After they get familiar with it slowly, there is no one? How can there be no one? There are no fewer people in their family.
There are also the people of the villages in Sanshui County. If it were others, the people might not follow him. However, if the Zhang family asked the farmers to leave with them, I believe that those farmers would not hesitate at all. In addition to the people there, there are also the people in Luzhou. As long as Zhang Zhong climbed up and called, how many people here would you think they could follow him?"
Old man Zhang understood clearly, told the Zhang family's advantages, and then said, "How did you know that the Zhang family could not defeat those local people? Didn't you see it just now? In order to go to another place, the Zhang family began to make a weapon that could be carried on their shoulders.
The first time I went to prevent the Zhang family, the Zhang family made such weapons. When they fought for the second time, did you think the Zhang family would not be able to produce more powerful weapons? For example, what you said in the letter, the Zhang family made firecrackers in order to make money, and the Zhang family exploded the other side in order to allow the water to pass through calmly.
It was what we talked about during our discussion. As long as there is a need, the Zhang family will make the things. You see, there is nothing now. That's because they don't have that kind of need yet. Seeing the dock and the seawall, the Zhang family needs it, so cement comes out. If you want to make more clairvoyances, the Zhang family needs it, so glass comes out.
What else can they not do? I am really afraid. If they founded the country there and fought against the Tang Dynasty in turn, would they become sinners? We are protecting them all the way, especially you, even you have participated in the matter of Zhang Zhong’s top scholar."
The more Mr. Zhang said, the smoother he felt. Later, his face changed. If the Zhang and Wang families suddenly stopped coming back, the loss would not be just the money they could make in the transactions. Old Mr. Zhang believed that without the Zhang family, those transactions would become worse and worse in the end.
The most important thing is to lose two masters, which is a painful thing. If the masters contributed to the Tang Dynasty, the Tang Dynasty would have destroyed the surrounding small destruction countries that had been tolerant, but now they can only exist without any good solutions.
Old Man Bi is under great pressure now, and he also thought of this problem. He is protected by the Zhang family. He cannot be sure what the Zhang family is thinking. He can only think about some situations in a better way, so that he will feel more comfortable. If one day the Zhang family really goes to another place to establish a country, his family will have to take the blame for the Zhang family.
Considering these things, Old Man Bi took a deep breath, then slowly vomited out, and said, "I guess the Zhang family can't do this, otherwise they wouldn't let us know what they were going to do? The danger of having one more person knows. Do they think we can protect them all the time?
I believe they also understand that the reason why I protect them is that one is that Xiaobao and Juanjuan are too sensible, and the other is that Zhang Zhong can always let the people live a good life with the help of the Zhang family. The most important thing is that the two masters of the Zhang family can give me more benefits to the Tang Dynasty.
If they have a strange intention, as long as I have the ability, I will be the first to deal with them. How could the two masters of the Zhang family not understand? They can still tell the secret like this, just tell us again that they will not do anything bad for us.
Sometimes some things depend on people. The people in the Zhang family are not so ambitious. I think what they do is just like you and me, for this country. Otherwise, they will offer the propeller? Will they take out the technology of spinnakers?"
Old Man Bi can only let himself think about it this way now, otherwise he would be crazy by this matter. Even if Old Man Zhang still had suspicion in his heart, he had to admit that what the Zhang family did was indeed for the country and the people. Since the past few years, they have made the lives of the people in their places bit by bit.
There are also special hospitals. If they are more cruel, they will make all the money. But they don’t do that. They try their best to arrange for the people to do things, earn more money, and find ways to increase grain production.
They gave up all the benefits that could be given up. Only those who were watching them knew how much impact the things they had done over the years had on the entire Tang Dynasty and how much benefits they had brought to the country. There was no second businessman like this in the Tang Dynasty.
If you really have any other thoughts and keep more secrets, I believe that the two masters of the Zhang family can achieve their goals, so why bother to give out all the good things?
After thinking about it, Old Man Zhang felt better and said, "He is indeed a good person. Even if they make a lot of money themselves, you will know that if they are not a good person, how could he have become so caring for the people like now? How many princes and Mr. Hou are there to be free all day long, but Li Xun followed them and put his mind on the people.
It is their ability to make money, not other reasons, especially Xiaobao and Juanjuan. The two little guys still know how to care for others and are not as good as they take care of them. I have already explained my old bones, and when they came, I felt that it was not possible.
But their doctors and their usual diet made me take care of the uncomfortable parts of my body. I have already handed them the method of raising pigeons. It is useless to them, but he has been taking care of me.
There are also those old men and old ladies who are unattended. They have built a nursing home and have made so many games to help relieve their boredom.
With the amusement park built for children here, how could such a person do such a traitor? I believe they will continue to protect them in the future."
Old Man Zhang made a conclusion, and the two of them became happy again for a moment.
When you should fish, you should not relax.
At this time, Zhang Xiaobao got out the plan, found Wang Juan and began to discuss when to send the person out and how to come back. You have to think clearly about this, just wait a few times to go back and forth.
"Xiaobao, I scared Grandpa Zhang and Grandpa Bi just now. They didn't know what they would think. Maybe they could think that we were going to rebel. What should we do now?"
As soon as Wang Juan saw Zhang Xiaobao coming, she began to tell Zhang Xiaobao what had just happened.
After hearing this, Zhang Xiaobao began to think about this matter. Whether this matter is serious or not, or whether it is not serious or not, it is easy for the two old men to get heart disease. This is not possible.
After thinking for a while, he said, "In this way, after we have found the place, we will find a way to let the court participate, so that they will not worry anymore. We will finish this arrangement first, and then ask them two to tell them first. We can't let them get sick, and we will also expect them to live for a few more years."
Zhang Xiaobao himself knew that he and Wang Juan had no intention of rebelling at all. How tired were they to be emperor? They had no other free time all day. Instead of doing this, it would be better to stay at some of their own place and live a good life slowly.
As for the pressure from some individuals after it develops to a certain level, it is actually nothing. Just fight with it and play it as a game.
What is there to be afraid of? Only those who are incompetent will escape and run to become kings elsewhere, while those who are capable will follow the waves to wash away the sand.
Zhang Xiaobao doesn't think that he and Wang Juan are not capable enough, so he won't choose to go outside to set up a house. What's the point? If you want to change something, you can participate in the change and follow everyone, that's the funniest thing.
Moreover, the two of them are not disgusted with the Tang Dynasty now. If it were other dynasties, they might think of some solutions. Naturally, they cannot rebel now. If there is time, think more about how to help the Tang Dynasty go further.
Wang Juan also knew Zhang Xiaobao's thoughts. He had already discussed with Zhang Xiaobao that he would not rebel and bring more places into the map of the Tang Dynasty. At that time, the two of them could live a stable life with money. Of course, if the Tang Dynasty attacked which country, or which country took the initiative to fight, the two of them would take the time to participate. Will everyone fight together?
Taking these things into consideration, Wang Juan began to discuss specific things with Zhang Xiaobao, and it was necessary to be foolproof.
"Xiaobao, you said that Grandpa Zhang and Grandpa Bi would go out to sea to see if they could take care of their bodies. After all, it was not like when we came here. We could walk along the shore. There would be a lot of waterways there, and there was nothing around.
After almost the discussion, Wang Juan asked Zhang Xiaobao.
Zhang Xiaobao knew that if he did that, the two of them felt more at ease. After thinking about it, he said, "It seems that this ship is not good now. There is no problem waiting for us to build a larger ship in the future. Let's go and chat with Grandpa Bi and Grandpa Zhang."
After Zhang Xiaobao finished speaking, he took Wang Juan to find Old Man Zhang and Old Man Bi. The two old men had almost thought about it now, but Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan didn't know that, so they had to comfort them, otherwise they would be in trouble if they had a heart disease.
It was already afternoon at this time, and it would darken in a while. When Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan came to the fishing place where the two old men had already gained a lot. They were talking and laughing there, and they looked very relaxed.
"Grandpa Bi, Grandpa Zhang, you have caught so many fish. Now, there is something good to eat tonight." Wang Juan jumped over and said to the two old men.
Zhang Xiaobao also ran to the front and said, "Okay, Juanjuan and I have nothing to do tonight, so we will make fish by ourselves. There must be braised and steamed ones, and fish soup must not be missing."
The two old men were very happy to see Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan coming. Old Man Bi touched Zhang Xiaobao's head and said, "That's really good. Old Man Zhang and I have a good taste again. It would be great if we could eat what you two did every day in the future."
Old Man Zhang also laughed and grabbed a handful of melon seeds placed beside him for Wang Juan, saying, "Eat more and you will grow strong."
When Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan saw that the two old men did not mention that matter, they looked at each other and as long as they mentioned it, Wang Juan said to the two old men:
"We actually want to eat the food prepared for Grandpa Zhang and Grandpa Bi every day, but that's not possible. I have to take care of the new weapon. If our people pass by and are attacked directly by their local people without saying a word, we have to have some means to guard against it.
The main reason is that there are too few people in our country, so we have to add Mr. Li’s staff. The first time we go to explore the road, waiting for us to get out the road. If someone bullies us, we will ask the court to send troops there. Grandpa Bi, at that time, you have to help us talk to the court, otherwise we will not be able to get out the troops.
The individuals who have just recruited the troops here are not useful. Only the powerful people from the court can do it. They are waiting to occupy the place there, and they also have to help send some people there to see if there is any good minerals, if there is gold or something.
We can't dig those things, right? The court needs to send someone to dig them, but we have to make a statement first. The court does not allow tax collections for the transactions we are doing there. If we want to collect them, we can only ship the things over and hand over one, otherwise we will not make any money."
As soon as Wang Juan finished speaking, Zhang Xiaobao also said to the side: "Yes, yes, we can't let us take care of the other side by ourselves. Maybe there are some mountain people there. At that time, the court should turn that place into the land of the Tang Dynasty and send people to manage it.
However, the management person also needs to think about it. He cannot keep him there and take his family. Generally speaking, it will be almost the same for two or three years. Then, the number of people will be replaced immediately, especially the officials sent there. If he always says that there is a war there, so he can't come back, he will be brought back.
This is because he is afraid that he will raise thieves outside and slowly develop his own power. If he wants to rebel, it will be beyond his reach here. He must do it and send someone to check it out frequently. My caravan will be responsible for collecting intelligence at that time.
It is estimated that it will be back and forth every few months. As long as you don’t come back once, you need to prepare for the war. Something must have happened there. Also, Grandpa Bi can find some people who are very loyal to the country and send them to assist in doing things, so that they can fight each other."
After Zhang Xiaobao said these words, he felt that he and Wang Juan said this. If Grandpa Zhang and Grandpa Bi still couldn't hear what they meant, then they would be in vain to live in such an old age.
Sure enough, after Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan said the words, Old Man Zhang and Old Man Bi were surprised. The two of them looked at Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan and didn't know what to say for a moment.
Old Man Bi and Old Man Zhang understood that this must be because they went to find Wang Juan today. Wang Juan told the matter to the people in the family. The people in the Zhang family were afraid that they would worry about them, so they asked the two children to come and say such things. They really understood this.
That is, the Zhang family does not want to occupy that place by themselves in the future, and they need to send people from the court to do so. In this way, the Zhang family can rebel, and Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan have already explained the way to prevent rebellion.
Although it would be good to know the other side if you always change people, in this way, if you even change soldiers and soldiers together in such a short time, there would be no time to prepare for rebellion, let alone the family is still here. If you use several methods together, I believe the officials there will know what to do.
Especially if there is a caravan from the Zhang family who will go there in the future, it will be much better. Other caravans may have accidents. When the Zhang family cannot, as long as the Zhang family's caravan has anything to do, they can prepare to send troops here immediately.
In this way, it can really become a place in the Tang Dynasty. This is really great. Not only am I happy, but I think the emperor is also happy.
The two old men looked at each other, then looked at Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan, nodded, and Old Man Bi asked softly: "When the other caravans pass by, will your business be affected?"
When Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan heard this, they knew that the two old men were relieved. Now they began to consider this matter. The two of them had already thought about it clearly and Zhang Xiaobao would answer it.
"I thought about what Grandpa Bi is thinking about, but we are not worried. There is more wealth in this world. If we only think about making money from one family, we will not only not make money in the end, but we may even be able to make life. Let others join in and make money together.
No matter how powerful my family is, it is impossible to master so many goods. Unless you don’t tell others wherever they are, it’s just in the early stages. When others discover that there is a special way to make a fortune in our family, one is to come and attack us, and the other is to build a ship to follow us.
This is not the most worrying thing. If one day my family has more money than the entire Tang Dynasty, Grandpa Bi, what consequences will you think? My family is not a fool.
So, my family has decided. When this road is really open, we have to discuss with the court and let the court form a caravan and follow us. In that way, the court will have money."
After Zhang Xiaobao said this, he picked up the tea bowl next to him and sipped a few times, breathing a lot, explaining that it was too difficult for him to have no ambitions.
Old Man Zhang and Old Man Bi understood everything at this time. The two found that their fear was really redundant. Look at the Zhang family, how good they thought, they would not offend other people's interests at all, and even think about the court in business.
The reason why the Zhang family was able to say that the money in their family would not exceed that of the entire Tang Dynasty means that they knew how to protect themselves.
But Old Man Zhang still wanted to tease Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan, so he asked, "Then if your family has a lot of money, and the court used a lot of money when fighting, your family has more money than the Tang Dynasty, what should you do?"
Wang Juan interrupted at this time: "Grandpa Zhang, don't worry, our family will definitely not be too much money by the court. If the court needs to fight, my family will directly take out a lot of money and then secretly send it to the court through some channels. Yes, it is secret and not allowed to be known to other people, and even some officials with low positions cannot know it.
That money belongs to the court, not to our family anymore. We will keep adjusting this way so that the court will not be unable to do anything else because of money. Do you understand that Grandpa Zhang? We actually don’t care who has more money than that. We just like the process of making money.
Including various calculations and new ideas, this is what we are pursuing. When money reaches a certain level, it is not money, and it is a number one by one. With our family’s way of spending, we can’t spend so much money at all.
Perhaps we will use the name of the court to spend a lot of money to build roads, build bridges, etc. In short, my family doesn’t have a good reputation, just a little reputation, and it doesn’t have a wealth that can match a country. That requires force to ensure it.”
"Okay, it's really good. If you think so, then you and Wang and Zhang will never have to worry about someone trying to touch you again. As you said, if the money is too high to a certain extent, you will not spend it all, and it will make others jealous. Then take it out and put my words here. If your family really does that, even if you meet a prince, there will be nothing."
After hearing what Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan said, Old Man Bi was really relieved. The masters in these two families even considered this matter. It was not easy. Since they had done this, they should write something for the emperor. Don’t wait until something happened between Zhang and Wang families.
Who made them so capable of making money? There is nothing we can do about it.
