After Spring and Autumn

Chapter 98
However, Meng Di still showed hesitation, showing an expression of difficulty in making a decision.

"Although this proposal is good, Meng is still not good at business operations, and he doesn't know how much profit it can make. I wonder if Mr. Tian can give some pointers?"

Tian Chang chuckled, but felt contempt in his heart. Many people in Qi State are good at doing business, and Guan Zhong is the most admired one.

At the beginning, Hengshan Kingdom, which bordered Qilu, was the best at manufacturing armaments. At that time, Guan Zhong proposed to Duke Huan of Qi to spend a lot of money to order armaments from Hengshan Kingdom, and the price of armaments increased several times in an instant.

As a result, other vassal states that originally had a good relationship with Hengshan Kingdom were discouraged when they saw the price of armaments soaring to such a high level.

At this time, the Qi State took the opportunity to sell double the armaments in its hands to other countries, earning a lot of money, and at the same time purchased food at high prices from various countries, while the Hengshan State at this time was focused on building armaments.

When they found that there was a shortage of food in the country, they wanted to buy food, but found that there was nowhere to buy it. Under such circumstances, Qi and Lu joined forces to attack, and the whole country of Hengshan surrendered to Qi.

Qi people are familiar with such things, and Tian Chang is no exception. As long as Mengdi is willing to let go of his market and provoke the relationship between him and Yang Hu, it will be tantamount to controlling Mengdi's lifeline.

At that time, everything will be decided by Mrs. Tian, ​​thinking of this, he can't help but feel a little proud, so he said.

"This matter is simple. After Mrs. Tian transports the goods to Mengyi, they can sell them in the territory of Lu State. This will definitely make a lot of profits. I, Mrs. Tian, ​​will be responsible for all business operations, and Mrs. Meng will just wait for the income to be shared. Can."

"The other thing is that the price for redeeming the captives should be lower this time, so that it can be regarded as a face for Gao Xiangguo, so my father should say more good things for Mengzi."

After hearing this, Meng Di immediately understood Tian's plan. In this way, the source of Mengyi's daily necessities can only rely on Tian's, and after a long time, he will be slowly controlled by the other party. abacus.

He also doesn't know how to be sensual, since there are disadvantages, there are also advantages, that is, Mengyi is now in a state of ruins, and Tian's caravan will come here at this time, which will speed up the prosperity of Mengyi to some extent.

In this way, it will be able to develop and grow in a short period of time. At that time, it will naturally speak with strength, and Mengdi can also use this period of time to gradually develop a complete business system within the territory.

At that time, whoever has the last laugh will have to rely on their own abilities.

The next matter of redeeming the captives was just a process. Mengdi also showed great generosity, not only releasing the captives at a relatively low price, but also giving away the captured armor, weapons and The chariots were offered as many as possible.

Tian Chang was naturally very happy about this. Not only did Tian have a stable source of income, but he also had an extra help. At the same time, he could claim credit in front of Gao Zhang after returning, which was really a good deal.

After returning to the city, Ji Ran couldn't stop laughing, and said in a mocking tone.

"My lord's actions must have confused the people of Qi. They thought that the lord was afraid of Qi's revenge, so they returned those weapons and armor, so they would take it lightly."

"However, the Tian family's proposal is indeed clever, and it is quite a scheme of Guanzi, and the method is too hidden, and ordinary people may not be able to detect it, but the main point is Yang Hu. Judging from the current situation in the Lu Kingdom, Yang Hu may not be able to last long. .”

Meng Di smiled, patted the table lightly and said.

"I hope that Yang Hu can continue to stay in Lu State for a while. Only in this way can we get more benefits from Tian's hands. At that time, as long as our cavalry increases in scale, then the opportunity will come."

This is also a helpless move. If the strength is not enough, you can only choose to stay dormant and use Tian's financial resources to develop power. wait and see.

Only a few days later, Qufu sent an order for Meng Di to meet Lu Hou.

Meng Di found Ji Ran and began to guess what Yang Hu meant. Although the order was issued in the name of Marquis Lu, but now that the government of Lu State is in the hands of Yang Hu, it means that this is what Yang Hu meant. .

Ji Ran frowned, and began to think about countermeasures, and after a while, he spoke.

"The lord refused Yang Hu's summon last time, and this time he issued such an order in the name of Luhou. The purpose is obviously to see what you think, lord."

"So my opinion is that after the lord arrives in Qufu, you can contact other families to make Yang Hu feel jealous. In this case, under such circumstances, it is not appropriate to get too close to Yang Hu."

In the current situation, Mengdi also has some headaches, the main reason is that the current Sanhuan has not made up his mind, otherwise, Yang Hu might not dare to be so arrogant, in name, among the Sanhuan, Zhongsun Heji is the most powerful.

He also has the father and son Fu He in Gonglian Office, but this person is a little hesitant and unable to make up his mind, which is both a good thing and a bad thing for Meng Di.

The advantage is that Yang Hu can continue to control the state affairs of the Lu State and buy him enough time, because once Yang Hu falls, power will be distributed within the State of Lu.

At that time, how much benefits Mengdi can get will depend on his own strength. In addition, Qi will definitely try his best to limit his development. At that time, it will be a situation of internal troubles and external difficulties.

Therefore, what is most in line with Mengdi's interests is to form a stalemate within Lu State, the longer the better.

After thinking about it, Meng Di slowly had an idea, so a smile appeared on his face.

"After arriving in Qufu this time, I will go to see Ji Sunsi first, then Yang Hu, and finally Lu Hou. As for the final result, it depends on their performance. If it really doesn't work, I will Just support Yanghu!"

"Judging from the current situation, the people of Qi have become wary of me. At this time, Yang Hu can't fall, otherwise it will be against me. The most important thing is that our cavalry has not yet formed, and our manpower is too small. No loss."

After Ji Ran finished listening, he suddenly spoke.

"After the lord arrives in Qufu this time, if the situation can be controlled, you can take a trip to Jin Kingdom."
