"Guo is a businessman," Guo Huaili's eyes followed a flying fallen leaves and spoke slowly. Zhang Keji smiled and said without saying anything, waiting for him to continue talking.

"The Guo family has been a businessman for generations. My father asked Guo to study because he was blackmailed by a clerk to support his store in the future." Guo Huaili smiled self-deprecatingly: "Guo is really not a material for studying. He came to sleep when he picked up the book. Fortunately, he got to know An Yi. He had to pass the monthly exam and the monthly exam."

As the leaves fell to the ground, Guo Huaili's eyes retracted and looked at Zhang Keji, "I'm sure that Guo Mouchu had an affair with An Yi, half a matter of being a match and half a speculation. Later, he went to the Jiang family to play and met his godmother, An Yong and Yan'er. Although the Jiang family was poor, his family was harmonious. In order to let An Yi study, his godmother worked day and night. An Yong helped others when he was young, and Yan'er was so sensible that it hurts. Guo Mou was deeply moved and respected the Jiang family and brought some gifts when he went to the Jiang family to play."

"Wenping Mansion tried to get a poem with a shameless face. With this poem, he finally fulfilled his father's expectations. Guo was very grateful to An Yi. After returning to Xinqi County, An Yi used folding fans and bamboo utensils to do business with the Yu family and the Guo family. Guo felt that An Yi was not a thing in the pool."

"An Yi's official position is getting bigger and bigger. I'm worried that he will look down on the Guo family, but An Yi's thoughts on his old love, not only did he not look down on the Guo family, but later the wine and perfume industry were all led to the Guo family to run it. It was a blessing for Guo to have a friend like An Yi in this life."

Guo Huaili's voice gradually became high, "An Yi went to Huazhou as the governor. Guo decided to take a bet and take his family with An Yi to evolve into Huazhou. Now it seems that Guo's move is the right one."

Zhang Keji smiled and filled tea for Guo Huaili, saying, "Boss Guo's business is better than Zhang's eyes when looking at people. My lord and I first met the Western Regions, and I was able to survive by saving him. However, Zhang's previous life was bumpy and had lost trust in others, so he did not feel much grateful to his lord. Following him to return from the Western Regions, Zhang was a lost dog and had nowhere to go. The lord did not mind Zhang's despise and entrust his family's property to me. Zhang thought about doing something to repay his life-saving grace."

The breeze swayed the leaves and made a "rustling" sound. Zhang Keji smiled and waited for the wind to stop, before continuing: "Zhang spent money at the Jiang family, built a mountain village in the back mountain, opened up the mountain, and bought Mingwa from the Western Regions, and spent 100,000 taels of silver on the Mingwa ceiling of the Perfume House."

Guo Huaili curled his lips and said, "That is, An Yi, if Guo has changed, I'll ask you to ask someone else for cleverness."

"The lord regards me as his confidant, how can Zhang not repay me with all his heart?" Zhang Keji said: "The lord is dedicated to his work for the public and does not care about gains and losses. He is inevitably impeached many times. The Dali Temple prison disaster at the beginning of the year was even more dangerous. As a counselor, Zhang must think of a complete plan for the lord. Boss Guo and his lord are closely related, and Zhang has some reliance on it."

Guo Huaili smiled and said, "Sir, you might as well say something. I share good fortune and fortune with An Yi. If An Yi can be glorious and wealthy, it will naturally be necessary to avoid Guo's benefits. Although Guo is less likely to study, he still has this vision. I wonder what Mr. wants me to do?"

Zhang Keji said: "The lord made meritorious service and was granted a title of marquis. It seems to be glorious, but in fact it is full of dangers."

Guo Huaili lowered his head to drink tea, laughing in his heart, Mr. Zhang was the same as other literati

He was sick and was so alarmist. An Yi was in charge of Huazhou, and he had just made great contributions to the country. In the imperial edict of the court, he called him a "good general of the country". Where did he get the danger? Mr. Zhang just said that he wanted to borrow money from him, but he wanted to pay for himself. The scholar felt embarrassed when he talked about the money and found an excuse to cover it up.

Zhang Keji said seriously: "Huaili, Zhang is not bullying each other. I thought that the lord would take at least two or three years to drive away the Western Regions coalition, which would be enough for me to arrange it calmly for the lord. Unexpectedly, the improved lord was successful in the battle, and the lord was made a meritorious service at the age of 33. Have you ever thought about where the lord will go after the lord is named a lord."

Guo Huaili was stunned and said, "An Yi can become the minister in the future and be the most powerful minister."

"Hahaha," Zhang Keji smiled and said, "When I come to the palace to be the prime minister, do you think the prince will use his lord as the prime minister in the future?" Guo Huaili has heard of the prince's character. With Jiang Anyi's personality, even if he is appointed as the prime minister, he will not be able to be the prime minister for half a year. The most likely thing is to let Anyi take over money for him to spend money.

"Even if you can't be the prime minister, An Yi can still take charge of Jingzhou and resist foreign enemies." Guo Huaili said unconvincedly.

"Yes, Huazhou is a place of battle. With An Yi in the court, there is no worries about going west. Maybe An Yi will be allowed to pacify the northern desert in the future." Zhang Keji said lightly: "But the greater the achievements of An Yi, the harder it will be to end in the future. There are four words: "Don't reward merits." An Yi is already a marquis, and further up is a duke, a king. Have you ever had a king of different surnames for more than a hundred years since the founding of the Great Zheng State? In addition to making great contributions, those who have all come from powerful families, and the lord's future will be exhausted. Moreover, the prince likes extravagant nature. Even if there is no money in the future, the Jiang family and the Yu family, the money accumulated by the Guo family may become the root cause of trouble."

Guo Huaili felt cold in his heart. The huge profits of perfume made countless people jealous. An Yi sold 30% of his shares to Queen Wang to stop his coveting. An Yi was put in prison, and Queen Wang asked for a 50% bonus, today, and tomorrow, she would have 70% of his bonus. Finally, she simply swallowed it in one bite. Money is a trivial matter, and she was afraid that someone would frame her in order to embezzle the property. The prince went with the flow and took advantage of the benefits, and his family suffered.

"Sir, do you have a good idea?" Guo Huaili asked.

Zhang Keji's eyes flashed and he said, "I advised the lord that if you want to protect yourself, you can only be self-reliant, so that the emperor will not dare to act rashly in the court. Unfortunately, the lord is loyal and righteous and refuses to act as I say. Zhang can only plan for you."

Guo Huaili sighed: "An Yi is loyal to his ministers, filial to his sons, sincere to his friends, and kind to others. If it is harmful to the court, we will definitely not do it. Our wealth, life and life are all subject to him. We must not plan secretly and prepare for the future, so that An Yi will not have another disaster."

Zhang Keji smiled and said, "Sheng, Huaili is willing to help me, and the lord will definitely be rewarded in the future. I guess the court will not let the lord stay in Huazhou for a long time. Tian Shoulou wrote in a letter that someone in the court had proposed to summon the lord back to Beijing. The most urgent task is to bribe the court officials to prevent the lord from returning to Beijing."

Guo Huaili said: "An Yi was born in Zechang Academy and Ze Dang is quite powerful in the court. Mr. Tian can spend more money to let Ze Dang speak for An Yi."

"This is one of them. The emperor in the capital is seriously ill. The prince is fighting with King An of Chu. He wants to spread rumors and put everyone's attention on the fight between the crown prince, so that court officials have no time to take care of it.

Huazhou.”

Zhang Keji continued: "Huaili, there are three things you need to do now. One is to build a workshop secretly and slowly move the workshop in Pingshan Town to Huazhou; the other is that I heard that Prince Tian Wei is competing for the crown prince, and the fourth prince Gu Taige is an old acquaintance of Huaili. You might as well help him. If Gu Taige can succeed to the throne, it will definitely be useful in the future. Third, the trade route has been opened. Boss Guo, you order your caravans to make more friends with princes and ministers from the Western Regions to prepare for emergencies."

Guo Huaili nodded, thinking in his heart that Zhang Keji seemed to be raising his own self-respect. Seeing that his intentions were in the long run, he didn't know whether it was a blessing or a disaster. A strange story flashed through his mind. The senior named Lu, who was a merchant, could achieve great things as a merchant, why didn't I, Guo Huaili? Besides, An Yi is his friend, and he should help him both public and private. If he bet, he will naturally have his own benefits. If he loses, he will flee to the Western Regions. He has business in the Western Regions, and where can he not settle down? If he can really support Gu Taige as the king, Tian Weiguo would definitely welcome him.

After a few gossips, Guo Huaili stood up excitedly and said, "There are many tourists coming to Xiangxueju today. Guo has to go and deal with it, so he won't disturb the rest of the teacher. Guo will do the three things he said with sincerity. If there is anything else, Mr. will let you know."

When he sent Guo Huaili away, Zhang Keji poured out the cold tea in the cup, poured another cup, and raised his glass to drink. He saw a spider web beside him, and a spider was spinning silk and weaving a web. Zhang Keji smiled and said, like this spider, weaving a web for his lord, but the ones who wanted it were the countries in the Western Regions.

After drinking the tea, Zhang Keji lowered his head and thought, if he wanted to be self-improvement, he could only hold the troops. Although the lord was a strategic commander, he could not command the troops of the Anxi Protectorate. If he wanted to resist the court, he would not even obey the orders of the army. If he wanted to let the court's soldiers obey the orders, he would only know the lord's kindness but not the emperor, so he should start slowly from several aspects.

The lord drove away the Western Regions coalition forces and had a far greater reputation among the army than Guan Pingzhong. This was the basis, but it was not enough to order the three armies. When the court rewarded the lord, the military power had been revoked. The Anxi Protectorate was again under Guan Pingzhong's control. The lord could only mobilize the army through Guan Pingzhong. If he wanted to take charge of the troops in a legitimate manner, he would fight with the Western Regions.

At present, the vitality of the countries in the Western Regions was severely damaged and it was impossible for them to invade the east again in the short term. When they were in the army, they had no chance to make meritorious contributions. Many generals wanted to go to the city of Zhenbei. How to find opportunities to use troops to the Western Regions, expand their territory, and give soldiers the opportunity to make meritorious contributions. With the courage of the lord, the three armies will soon be respected. Zhang Keji turned the teacup in his hand. An Yong and Shi Tou wiped out the horse thieves in the Gobi during this period, and it should be called to come back to discuss and discuss.

There is also money and grain. Half of the military pay of the Anxi Protectorate is supplied by the court and half of the supply of Huazhou. Now the empty military pay of the national treasury may all fall on Huazhou. As a manager, the lord is in charge of the money and grain. If he can treat the soldiers of the Anxi Protectorate, he will naturally win over the morale of the military. Anxi Camp is launching a large-scale recruitment, which is another good opportunity. Many of these recruits are desperate people. If they can take charge of their life, death and punishment, these people will be subject to the lord's order in the future.
