"This is a piece of honey wrapped in a malicious way, but I want to pretend to be very happy and happy and accept it all." Li Ze looked at Tu Lichun, Tu Hu and Xia He with a gloomy face. "This is the price of weakness. Because we are weak, we have to rely on others."

Tu Lichun was also worried: "Young Master, it's okay to say anything else, but we should refuse the request that they send an army of 1,000 people into Wuyi. The knife must be in our own hands. If such a team comes, it will disrupt our current structure."

"I know." Li Ze said helplessly: "But it is obvious that this last condition is what Gao Xiangsheng and others value the most. The so-called benefits mentioned above are just a prelude. If we want to get the benefits mentioned above, we have to accept this condition. Just like the wealth of 500,000 yuan, it is still just a promise. If these thousand people are not in place, do you think we can get these things?"

Xia He was holding the account book and interrupting, "Young Master, why are you doing so many things? First, eat the benefits you can get, and then talk about it. What if those thousand people come? Then they are on our territory. Is it a means for the young master to mess with them? Can't they let the meat buns beat the dog without going back? Then we will eat them all, and we will not even leave some soup and water for them, so that they can hide in the corner and cry."

Xia He's crisp voice echoed in the room, and several big men were stunned for a while and laughed.

Li Ze reached out and scraped Xia He's little nose and said, "It's the little girl who hit the nail on the head. Can't we digest these thousand people at that time? There are many methods: differentiation and separation, and killing people with a knife. In short, there must be a way to the car when it reaches the mountain. Now our power is weak and it is possible to usher in the enemy's attack immediately, so let these people take the lead for us. Beginning of the Spring Festival, you won't say that you don't even have these methods, right? If we can conquer them, we will add a lot of help."

"Difficult!" Tu Lichun, who had slightly cleared his face, said: "If I expected it was right, the thousand people who came by then would probably be Qianniu Guards. Qianniu Guards are the emperor's personal soldiers. It would be too difficult to subdue them."

"It seems that I asked Gao Xiangsheng for the title of General of the Qianniu Guard, but it was really a coincidence." Li Ze laughed: "At first, I just disliked the reputation of the prison guard, which sounded bad."

"If the Qianniuwei came, the official hat of the General of the Central Army is still easy to use." Tu Lichun said: "But young master, is it appropriate for us to get involved with Chang'an in the current situation? Will it be better for us to backfire?"

"Are you saying that most of the governors are desperately keeping the power of the court out of the court, but I open the door and accept it with a smile?" Li Ze spread his hands and said, "For me, it is impossible. Now my power is too weak. As long as it can enhance my strength, I will store it in first. As for the wolf or tiger that is taken in, you have to pass the level in front of you first. If you can't even pass this level, it will be meaningless to say anything else. Moreover, if you are involved with the court, it seems to be a problem now, but if you think about it in the long run, there may be greater opportunities."

"What do you mean?" Tu Lichun asked in confusion.

"Whether it is Chengde, Zhenwu, or Henghai, why are the people in the north convinced by Gao Pian? Is it because Gao Pian is very strong?" Li Ze suddenly asked a question that seemed irrelevant.

Tu Lichun and Tu Hu were both stunned for a moment.

"Young Master, everyone is convinced by Gao Pian, not only because Hedong is stronger than us, but more importantly, everyone knows that Gao Pian is a loyal and righteous man, forgets his own selfishness for the sake of the public, and works diligently throughout his life." Tu Hu thought for a while before he said.

Li Ze nodded and sighed, "Yes, because this person is loyal and righteous. Although people like us don't want to be someone like Gao Pian, they still respect such people in their hearts. Because we all know that this person is devoted to the public and selfless. He has such a mentality and a reputation for righteousness, so everyone respects him and fears him."

Looking at the Tu brothers who seemed to be a little dazed, Li Ze continued: "The Tang Dynasty has been established for hundreds of years. Although it is almost rotten now, it still has some foundations. People like Yang Zishi and others would rather die than fight until the last moment. There are those who are specially marked in the booklet given to me by Gao Xiangsheng. Even though they knew that the court was no longer able to hold on, they were still desperately pulling the broken ship that was about to fall into the bottomless abyss. There are more. Although they were disappointed with the Tang Dynasty, they were unwilling to betray him. They just hid themselves and watched the Tang Dynasty sink silently. They knew that they were powerless to save it, but they were unwilling to fuel the fire. You know, these people are all capable."

Tu Hu suddenly said, "Young Master means that in the future we can gather such people for our own use?"

Li Ze nodded: "Yes, but this is still a future. We lack talents. We are civil and military skills, military generals, and we are still enough at this stage, but it will be difficult to say in the future. As for civil and political affairs, it is funny. Now Yang Kai is the first civil and cultural affairs person under my command. In fact, just like the person in the booklet given to me by Gao Xiangsheng, I will pick up any one of them, and I am afraid that they are also the best among us!"

"The foundation and talents accumulated by a great empire over hundreds of years are not something we can imagine! Even if he is terminally ill now, compared to us, he is still a huge creature that is hopeful but unattainable." Li Ze said: "So one day, if we can dance the imperial signs with the name of righteousness, as long as we operate properly, will these many talents be used by me? If we can really gather these people together, it will be a qualitative leap for us."

"Young Master is thinking too far." Tu Lichun smiled and said, "I don't have such a long-term vision, I can only look at the moment."

"Of course, the most important thing is now. Without the present, how can we come?" Li Ze smiled and said, "So I took over the malice wrapped in honey that Gao Xiangsheng threw over, but whether it can turn waste into treasure and harm into profit depends on our ability."

"Young Master can convince someone like Gongsun Changming, how can anyone else be right?" Tu Hu said.

"Tuhu, you have always been doing business outside and have a lot of knowledge. Have you ever heard of Sihai Business Company?" Li Ze asked.

"I heard that, but Shenlong never deals with him, or we still make him look down on him." Tu Hu said: "I heard that people who can do business with Sihai Business Club are amazing big shots because they never do ordinary business. They only do business that others cannot do."

"for example?"

"For example, the Jiedushi had done a business with them more than ten years ago and got thousands of sets of armor and weapons from them." Tu Lichun said.

"So that's how it is." Li Ze frowned: "After that matter is done, did the old man pay a great price, far exceeding the value of these armored weapons?"

Tu Lichun shook his head: "I don't know this. But the governor must not be able to give the money at that time."

"I understand that the so-called Sihai Business People's business objects are all those who may become great men. What they do is not ordinary business at all. Moreover, these people have very unusual backgrounds and their vision must be extremely vicious. Slaughtering tigers, are there any examples of Sihai Business People's business failure?"

"Or there is, but people like me cannot know." Tu Hu smiled, "Young Master, our Yixingtang is not small in size, but it is incomparable to Sihai Trading Company. It is rumored that this trading company has existed for countless years, and it is longer than the founding of the Tang Dynasty."

Countless scenes and similar cases immediately emerged in Li Ze's mind. There are many such mysterious organizations in history. They have little reputation, but their power is amazing. They can silently manipulate the destiny of a country, and they will prosper and destroy the country in one thought. But no matter how the dynasties change, they can always pass on their inheritance from generation to generation.

They are uncrowned kings. When a dynasty is prosperous, if the emperor is strong, they choose to lie dormant and be a pertinent and disciplined people. Once the country's fortune declines, they will jump out to make trouble and dig out the greatest benefits from it. In the eyes of these people, dynasties and emperors are just tools after tools.

Now that the Tang Dynasty has become like this, countless military governors have dominated the world, maybe they have their contributions. Now that they appear in front of them, they are not interested in them, they are probably Chen Bangzhao, in their eyes, or just a pawn who can be abandoned at any time!

Li Ze sneered in his heart. If you want to become Chen Bangzhao's pioneer pawn, you have to ask if you are willing to do it! If you are willing to take someone out of money, it is just as Xia He said. You will not admit your claim. As long as I am strong enough, what can you do to me?

Gao Xiangsheng is definitely inseparable from this Sihai Trading Company.

"After the beginning of spring, you will be ready to accept the 1,000 people coming one after another. How to resettle them? You can get a plan first." Li Ze said in a slight sense: "The important thing is to find out the details of the officers among these people first. Didn't they come in batches? Then arrange them in different places first."

Tu Lichun nodded and said yes.
