Chapter 194: Confluence

Zhu Shou is a typical warrior. When encountering something, the only way he can think of is to suppress the problem by force and solve the problem with fists. Of course, this can indeed solve temporary difficulties, but after using fists, he did not have the means to support and contrast to manage the place, so the contradictions slowly accumulated. After reaching a critical point, it finally broke out. The people's riots came one after another, and finally formed a vicious cycle, so that almost no year could be spent peacefully under the rule of Henghai.

"The news came from Henghai that Cangzhou and Dizhou suffered heavy losses in this flood. It was a foregone conclusion that the harvest was a failure this fall." Li Ze told Cao Xin: "Henghai itself has no savings. Once a natural disaster occurs, they are unable to support it, and man-made disasters will occur immediately, which is our opportunity."

Cao Xin was a little depressed: "Yizhou has also suffered a disaster and the losses are also quite large. This time, my Yizhou spent all his money and life was still difficult!"

Li Ze smiled and said, "Mr. Cao, you are asking me to fight Qiufeng? Well, this time I fought in Dezhou, I did make a fortune and made a war fortune. You speak up and say a lot."

Cao Xin laughed: "I'm not polite if I do this, 500,000 ounces."

Li Ze was startled: "Mr. Cao, you are a lion. Although I made a fortune, there is not much left after spending the money. To be honest, I still pointed to this money until next autumn harvest."

Cao Xin sighed: "I also know that the money is not enough, but isn't there any way to do it? I took away most of the young and strong people in Yizhou before, but when the flood came, there was no one at home, so I could only watch the crops in the fields collapsed. This battle consumed a lot of original inventory. Is there no food in my hand? So I have to buy it outside with money."

"That's right." Li Ze nodded: "Mr. Cao has always supported me and helped me so much, it is rare to speak to me once. Even if I am squandering my life, I have to repay Cao Gong's favor. I have given it to you for 500,000 yuan."

"I won't take yours for nothing." Cao Xin said with a smile, "In fact, this time I came here, there was something else to discuss with you."

"You said." Li Ze also understood that Cao Xin came to him, of course, not just to thank him or borrow money. If that's the case, sending Wang Mingyi to achieve his goal. Why do you have to go there in person?

Cao Xin is not an ordinary person. He came to find him in person, and the political signals he sent were not an ordinary strong person.

"Even if I borrowed money from you and bought grain out, I might be slaughtered. Everyone knows that Chengde is short of food this year, so how can people get bigger without taking advantage of their shortcomings?" Cao Xin said: "I know you have a way out now, right?"

"Mr. Cao's nose is a little too smart." Li Ze smiled and said, "It was indeed not there before, but now, it really has it. Haven't I reached an agreement with Gao Xiangsheng? The business roads outside can basically be opened. Although it requires a certain amount of money to buy a road, the profits that can be obtained are not worth mentioning. More importantly, through the business roads, we can slowly embed it into the south, and connect with the existence and whether there are or not. Why does Mr. Cao want 500,000 jin of grain?"

Cao Xin smiled and said, "Your Yixingtang is very good at doing business. Now I want to join Mingyi's caravan to your Yixingtang. What do you think?"

When Li Ze suddenly heard this news, he was shocked. Wang Mingyi's caravan was an important source of Cao Xin's wealth. Without this caravan, Cao Xin felt like he had a broken arm. Why did he suddenly say that he was going to be incorporated into Yixingtang?

"Why did Mr. Cao suddenly have this idea?" Li Ze asked in surprise.

"It's not sudden, but thoughtful." Cao Xin said: "As soon as Mingren is gone, now I have no choice but to focus on Mingyi. My two sons expect them to go into politics, but they are afraid that they will be eaten by others so that they don't even have a little bit of bones left. Although Mingyi has been in contact with military affairs since he was a child, he is a smart person after all. He knows that he does business and does not lack skills. I want to take him by his side and train him well, but in this way, I can't care about business matters, and I can't trust others."

Li Ze nodded, this is indeed an important reason.

"Secondly, the caravans in Mingyi used to mostly travel inside Chengde, but now, I'm afraid it's a little difficult. Even in this month, our caravans have been suppressed everywhere. In the other end of Shenzhou, our business names have been directly taken and people have been arrested. Even in Zhenzhou, there are countless people who make things difficult." Cao Xin continued.

"I was the one who dragged Cao Gong." Li Ze bowed apologetically.

"If the business within Chengde is not easy to do, you can only have a different path. And you happened to open the business road outside. You said, if I don't ask this caravan to you, who else can you ask?" Cao Xin spread his hands and said.

Li Ze pondered and said, "Mr. Cao, there is one thing that needs to be said hello to you in advance. My Yixingtang is a bit special and is not much the same as an ordinary business."

"Is it because of Yixing Society?" Cao Xin asked.

Li Ze nodded with a smile.

"I know something about Yixing Society. Mingyi told me a lot about Yixing Society." Cao Xin said: "So, Mingyi's business name was merged into Yixingtang, and I will give up all management authority and recruit people from the Cao family. In the future, I will just pay attention to dividends. Do you think it is okay?"

"There is no need to recruit people." Li Ze said: "Those people are familiar with business, and they are familiar with each other. Besides, Cao Gong's people are not outsiders! When they entered Yixingtang, as long as they follow the rules of Yixingtang, they will be no different from the elderly in Yixingtang."

"Since that's the case, then we'll make up." Cao Xin slapped his face, and then turned around and asked Mingyi to do this."

"Okay." Li Ze said: "I will let Xia He and Wang Mingyi hand over the handover. Don't worry, Cao Gong will never let you suffer."

"Of course I'm not worried." Cao Xin said: "This matter is settled, so let's talk about the second thing next."

"What else does Cao Gong have?"

"We talked about the matter of striving for the sea before." Cao Xin said: "The best opportunity is that after this autumn, we suffered a disaster. They were even worse. We could still hold on, but Zhu Shou could never hold on. This matter needs to be discussed for a long time. After all, Zhu Shou could not come to the hundreds of miles of unmanned land in Dezhou, and it was difficult for us to go there."

Li Ze asked with a smile: "Mr. Cao, what do you want to say?"

Cao Xin smiled and said, "Wang Wenshu is now You Yong's deputy general. Mingyi's incident has hit him too hard. He is now trying to find trouble for Zhenwu, and wants to break up Wang Feng's ninth tribe! Regardless of his current health, he has really hurt the original battle."

"When Wang Biejia's feat in Shenzhou, even if I heard that, I was still full of blood. I heard that in that war, if Wang Biejia had not attacked with slacking off, the victory or defeat would be between the two!" Li Xin said.

"It's not just Wang Wenshu, but Suning. One code is one code. In that battle, it's a blessing for them to fight against the wild and storm regardless of life and death." Cao Xin sighed: "So I want to ask you, the General of Qianniu Guard, to take the lead in Yizhou. You don't have to worry about other things, just take care of the army. How about it? Are you willing to surrender?"

Listening to Cao Xin's words, Li Ze was really stupid this time.

Which is Cao Xin singing? He is willing to give him the military power of Yizhou?

He picked up the tea cup and took the opportunity to drink tea to think about the meaning behind Cao Xin's comments on this matter.

Cao Xin was not in a hurry, and slowly savored the tea, waiting for Li Ze to make a decision.

"Mr. Cao, I became a disgrace and took the military power of Yizhou. Then, I won't be supported by the army of Yizhou in the future, right?" Li Ze put down his teacup and said half-jokingly and half-seriously.

Cao Xin laughed, "Young Master, I'll just say it straight. Cao Xin will follow you from now on. If you want to be the governor of Yizhou, there is no problem. I can give it to you, even if the reputation is not right, don't worry about him!"

"Mr. Cao was joking." Li Ze said: "But if we want to conquer Henghai, it is indeed a good thing for our two families to concentrate their military power. After all, we may not expect that Zhenzhou and Zhaozhou will give us any support. Now my subordinates are doing their best and can probably equip the three thousand armored soldiers. Where are you?"

"I brought back three thousand armored soldiers from Shenzhou, then dug out the warehouse, and then got two thousand armor sets." Cao Yi said: "The five thousand armored soldiers are owned by Yizhou, but in this way, the two families and one group have nearly ten thousand armored soldiers. If you raise so many armored soldiers, the annual expenses will be amazing."

"No matter how much you spend, you have to spend it!" Li Ze said: "Otherwise, what else can you use to fight Henghai? Besides, I can see clearly. If I really conquer Henghai, I might be able to get all the military expenses out. Cao Gong, since you say that, I'm not polite. All the troops in Yizhou are unified and commanded."

"Okay, as this happens, I will breathe a sigh of relief. From now on, I will be dedicated to being a good logistics manager for the young master." Cao Xin said. "Build Yizhou well."

"Duke Cao, you trust me today, so I naturally regard you as a strong man. You are a Jinshi. How many people can you see in this world? How can your future be limited to the small Yizhou?" Li Ze smiled and said, "Duke Cao, conquering Henghai is only our first step. Then I will take down Chengde with this power and then send troops to Lu Long and Cao Gong. After we take down Lu Long, then let's see what the situation in the world is. Let's talk about how we should go next?"

"Sitting north and looking south." Cao Xin's eyes shone, "waiting for an opportunity."

"Of course, I won't be that fool Zhang Zhongwu." Li Ze said with a smile.

"Young Master must not underestimate Zhang Zhongwu. This person is really a master of the world. His demeanor is really a shame." Cao Xin shook his head and said.
