The more pressure a person has, the more motivation he will have.

It is said that Miss Serena can now express her meaning in simple Ming Dynasty words. Although her Ming Dynasty words have a strong Tianjin flavor, Xu Bai can't care about it.

The old missionary even spoke the official language of Northern Zhili, which was full of Tianjin flavor. How good can the apprentices he brought out be?

When Sun Yulin came to meet Xu Bai from the capital, Xu Bai was talking about Serena to Lin Qijun. When Xu Bai heard Sun Yulin coming, he was a little surprised.

After all, most of the old men from the hidden guards brought from Nanjing like Sun Yulin have become the backbone of the Nanya. His team is just that although Sun Yulin was working under Shen Yun's hands, he did not follow the line of Zhao Huchen. It seems that he is his profession for doing business and making money. He is inferior to those fighting and killing things.

Therefore, after the Nanmen Incident, after Xu Bai took over the Jinyiwei Nanya, these old brothers all rewarded each of them on their merits and had their own arrangements. However, Sun Yulin was not very interested in being an official in the Yamen, and even followed Chen Yun to do things in the royal palace.

Xu Bai thought about it and directly found a place to build a winery in the capital according to his wishes, and opened a wine shop by the way, which was also fulfilling his wishes. Of course, he still had the official position of the Jinyiwei hundred households, but if he did things, he would just talk about it.

Sun Yulin's wine shop became the suspense of Nanya in the city. Generally speaking, Nanya did not have any tasks to do. After all, Xu Bai gave the other party an official position and gave the other party a free meal, which was a reward.

Everyone has their own ambitions, of course they can't force it. Sometimes when you hear that Sun Yulin lives a very comfortable life, Xu Bai is in a good mood. After all, no one is as open-minded and free as him.

It was such a person who came directly from the capital to Tianjin. There was no doubt that something important must have happened. Even Sun Yulin did not make it convenient to notify Nanya Zhao Huchen, but found himself directly.

Xu Bai felt a little nervous and sent Lin Qijun away, and asked someone to invite Sun Yulin in directly.

"Lu Gao asked you to pass the message to me?"

As soon as Sun Yulin came in, he almost did not move to pass on the words Lu Gao to Xu Bai, and repeated them again. Even from the moment Lu Gao and Cao Qin came to their shop to the time they left, he did not let go of every detail, and reported it to Xu Bai in detail.

"etc……"

Xu Bai was a little confused about what happened. Even the battle between the Southern Ya and the Northern Ya was also an internal matter of the Jinyiwei. Moreover, in terms of official positions, Lu Gao was higher than him. Recently, he heard that Lu Gao was looking forward to the position of the Jinyiwei commander. No matter from any perspective, even if he relied on the prince, he was at a disadvantage in front of the other side. Lu Gao had no reason to bow to him.

Of course, this may not be a bowing head, but the kindness released by the other party is quite obvious. It is a bit strange. Why does he think that humiliating Cao Qin is what he hopes to see?

He couldn't figure out this joint, but he could temporarily put it aside. What he cared about was the change in the relationship between Lu Gao and Cao Qin.

Seeing him pondering, Sun Yulin stood quietly aside and did not dare to disturb him. He was just a messenger, who gave Xu Bai what he saw, heard and conveyed. He had already completed his mission and would not use any of his own opinions to influence Xu Bai's thinking and decisions.

"Your shop is closed!" Xu Bai pondered for a while: "Since Lu Gao knows your identity, it will be unsafe there. He didn't point at you to do anything for me. If it is implicated by me, it will not be cost-effective!"

"Then I'll go back to Nanjing!" Sun Yulin smiled: "The capital is still not suitable for people like me. Only people like the superiors will feel like they are in water!"

"I almost died, and I am still hiding here to recuperate from my injuries!" Xu Bai looked at him strangely: "Is this like a fish in water?"

Sun Yulin smiled slightly, but did not answer. The so-called gains and losses, and what he said at what he said, it would be like. If it weren't for the power, wealth and honor, how could the world continue one by one?

"What are you going to do in Nanjing? The youngest?" Seeing that he didn't answer himself, Xu Bai shook his head: "You like to make wine and sell wine. Where is it different? Come to Tianjin. The people in Beijing can't reach their hands, but they are in front of me again. It's safer..."

He looked at Sun Yulin and suddenly felt a sudden change in his heart. Since he had no intention of developing in the officialdom, he liked to make wine and do business, he could still fulfill his wishes at Sihai Business Company. Moreover, this is his old subordinate, and there is no problem of trust or distrust. Isn’t such a person the Sihai Business Company needs the most now?

"I set up a business!" Xu Bai thought for a while and said.

"I know this!" Sun Yulin laughed: "It's a pity that the amount of wine I brew is limited, otherwise, I would have wanted to get some wine to sell to adults' stores!"

"Are we short of that little money?" Xu Bai laughed: "Come and be the shopkeeper of Tianjin branch. I will ask you, Lin Qi, to tell you about the business bank, and let the people from the capital come over!"

"But I just want to make wine!" Sun Yulin was stunned.

"What does it have to do with being the shopkeeper of the branch of my business bank? Can't you make wine if you are a shopkeeper?" Xu Bai glared at him: "The shop manager will mainly do maritime trade business in the future. No matter how good your wine is, it is only the people of the Ming Dynasty who know the wine you make. Don't you want the wine you make to go out of the territory of the Ming Dynasty and let the people of the foreign countries around the Ming Dynasty know the fine wine of the Ming Dynasty. Is your best product?"

"This, there can be..." Sun Yulin hesitated for a moment.

"Don't let mother-in-law!" Xu Bai smiled and said, "That's all, let's take Sun Baihu to see Manager Lin, and said I told you that he will be the manager of Tianjin of the Four Seas Commercial Bank in the future. If you don't understand anything, let Manager Lin talk about it for him!"

After sending Sun Yulin away, Xu Bai fell into deep thought. Now he has more and more people under his command, and he can be said to be a group of tigers and wolves. The establishment of the Tianjin Qianhu Institute has further improved his strength to a higher level.

However, he suddenly realized that there were more and more people under him, but there were fewer and fewer people available to him, especially at this time, he wanted to find someone who could discuss with him and make some suggestions for him, but he could not find any of them.

I used to talk to Yang Li that this guy was born as a scholar. Compared with most subordinates who didn’t know big words, he was always much better in terms of insight, knowledge and experience. Unfortunately, when he was not on the right path and was still by his side, he seemed to have completely abandoned his identity as a literati. Apart from the often-written saying "convince people with reason", what he basically did was nothing to do with a literati.

After he released him, he would let himself go even more. A few days ago, he heard that he and his hundreds of families were competing for martial arts in the Thousand Household Institute with bare hands. No matter how you look at this, it is not something that a scholar can do!

When he was with the prince, Shang Lu could advise him on some things. Unfortunately, it was related to the prince, and Shang Lu's card was too great. If the prince's factor was eliminated and he was asked to give advice to him, an Jinyiwei, Xu Bai didn't have to think that Shang Lu didn't spit on his face, it would be considered as giving him face.

Guo Lin has been studying for a few years and is barely considered a scholar. Unfortunately, Xu Bai really doesn't want to have too much trouble with him. If there is really something wrong, let alone let Guo Lin plan for him, he will never let that guy know. Otherwise, no matter what, I am afraid that eight out of ten will develop in a bad direction.

He can't do it anymore.

It seems that I have to find a few aides. He thought about it and decided to put this matter on the agenda. He turned around and asked Wang Jinsong to ask, there should be a few talents in Tianjin who are qualified to be his staff!

However, when he was thinking about this matter alone, he seemed to be unable to figure out anything. He knew that Lu Gao was releasing goodwill to himself. However, it was unclear whether the kindness released was true or false, whether it was regressing or a trap. Moreover, what happened to Lu Gao and Cao Jixiang, so that he wanted to humiliate Cao Qin as a way to release goodwill to him. Don’t he know that once he did this, his greatest backer would be gone?

Also, he said something was wrong with Cao Qin recently. What does it mean? He realized that something was wrong with Cao Jixiang and planned to break up with the other party with this excuse. Or is it really something wrong with Cao Qin? What is he not afraid of Cao Jixiang knowing that he can pay full attention to?

Dongchang is now powerful and omnipresent. No matter how cautious Lu Gao is in his work, there will always be traces to find. This sentence he told me seems simple. In his opinion, this guy is betting on his own wealth and life for this matter.

The more he thought about it, the more dizzy he felt, so he stood up and walked outside. The new house was big enough and quiet enough that there were still places for him to think while walking. When he saw him thinking about things, whether it was the personal guard or the servants, he followed him from afar, and did not dare to disturb him at all.

Before he knew it, he walked to a courtyard wall. When the two guards saw him coming, they saluted together. He raised his head and burst into laughter. Why did he come here?

It was like a child was learning to speak in the yard, and a babbling sound came from the old missionary who was teaching Serena Daming. Xu Bai shook his head and walked in.

I can't hurry to find a staff member, but there is a very scheming expert living in my family. Why did I forget her? Anyway, this matter has nothing to do with her. Let's talk to her, and from the perspective of a third party, she may be able to provide some ideas for herself.

He briefly explained the background of the matter and what happened this time. Serena listened carefully and tried hard, and there were some things she couldn't understand. She even asked the old missionary in Dutch dialect until almost half an hour later, she finally understood what Xu Bai wanted.

"Does adults need my opinion?" Serena secretly suppressed the joy in her heart, flashed her long eyelashes, and stared at Xu Bai.

"Well, let's talk about what you think!" Xu Baiman replied carelessly. Since she is a well-educated nobleman, she should be familiar with the struggle for power and profit. Even if she has not experienced it herself, she must have heard a lot.

Things like this in the world are roughly the same. The only difference is that it is probably simpler and rougher in Europe, while the Ming Dynasty should be more tactful and more technical.

"Is this Lu Gao the boss of the adults?"

"In theory, but he cannot manage my yamen!" Xu Bai replied.

"Does he want to conquer the adults as his loyal subordinate?"

"He shouldn't have this idea. He knows who I am loyal to. With him, I'm afraid he can't control me!" Xu Bai shook his head. Lu Gao shouldn't be so stupid. He can be wary of himself and even destroy himself so that he can dominate the Jinyiwei. But if he conquers himself, does he think he has a greater face than the prince?

"I have no requirements for adults, but I have released kindness to adults!" Serena nodded: "He has encountered trouble, a big trouble, and this trouble will probably become an adult's trouble, so he is afraid that he hopes to become an ally with adults!"

Serena analyzed seriously: "With his previous competitive relationship with the adults, even if he does something that harms his own interests, he will win the trust of the adults. That is to say, he is afraid that he will not be able to solve this problem alone. He needs friends, and he needs a powerful friend like the adults!"

Xu Bai pondered. Judging from the words Sun Yulin passed on, it seemed that Serena analyzed some truth. When Lu Gao encountered something, Lu Gao did not hesitate to tear his face with his backer. Then, in the end, Lu Gao pointed out that something was wrong with Cao Qin.

After this line, Lu Gao encountered some trouble. Isn’t this about to come out?

He suddenly laughed. Lu Gao didn't notice anything, but was afraid that he had real evidence in his hands. Whether it was Cao Jixiang or Cao Qin, he was afraid that these two people had already started planning something. As Lu Gao's backer, once this matter was exposed, not only these two people would not be able to get it well, but if they were implicated, Lu Gao was probably finished.

Lu Gao is asking for self-protection!

No matter what he says now, I am afraid that no one will believe it. Once the news is leaked, I am afraid that Cao Jixiang and Cao Qin will be the first to deal with him. At this time, the commander-in-chief of the Nanya who seemed to be inconsistent with him, and the prince's confidant, has become his life-saving straw.

As long as he shows his attitude and the news comes out, in the future, he will not be a thief who is a traitor who is a rioter, but a hero who informs him.

Once this matter is thought about in this aspect, all the doubts and confusions can be explained.

"Sir, did I say something wrong?" Serena smiled when she saw the other party, shook her head repeatedly, feeling a little frightened. The other party asked him about such a thing, obviously she felt that she was useful. If she analyzed it wrongly, she would be even worse in the other party's mind and would be even more useless.
