Three Kingdoms New Emperor

Chapter 716 Gaming and Trading

Chang'an, Yang Mansion.

The Yang family is undoubtedly the most prestigious family in Chang'an. Counting from Yang Biao, the Yang family has "four generations and four lords" from the great-grandfather to the present, which is different from the "four generations and five lords" of the Yuan family. They are comparable, and are the two major political families of the Eastern Han Dynasty.

Therefore, among the famous noble houses in Chang'an, none can match the luxury and grandeur of the Yang Mansion, and the six stone steps in front of the gate make some people daunted.

But although the Yang Mansion is luxurious, it will not fall into the cliché.In particular, the small garden where Yang Biao lives in the back house is even more original.In this garden, there are mountains and rivers everywhere, flowers, bamboo forests, small bridges, flowing water, and rockery divide the space in the garden into hundreds of small spaces, and each small space has different styles of pavilions and pavilions. It is quiet amidst the noise, there are corridors connecting the pavilions everywhere, and beyond the corridors are lush flowers and trees, so the layout is very elegant and secretive.

At this moment, Yang Biao, Guang Luxun of the Han Dynasty, was reading an article with relish, and when he saw the man turning out from the corridor, he couldn't help smiling and said: "Jing Xing came at the right time, Cai Bojie has just compiled the "Hanshu" ", you are here to taste it with me."

Wang Lang, who was fainted by Liu Xieqi, finally came to Yang's mansion. At this time, he was not interested in Yang Biao's warm greeting, and sighed with distress: "The world is in chaos, wars are endless, tens of thousands of people are dying, and you still don't know what to do?" Interested in reading this "Book of Han"? Who knows that after a hundred years, you and I are so mediocre that we will definitely be condemned by future generations!"

Seeing that Wang Lang, who hadn't seen him for a long time, came with such a tone, Yang Biao also turned serious, put down the "Han Shu" and poured a cup of tea for Wang Lang, and asked, "Jing Xing's request for help from His Majesty was fruitless?"

When Wang Lang saw the tea cup, his face became even more ugly.But after arriving in Chang'an, I hadn't even had a sip of water, so I couldn't help but took a gulp and said regretfully, "It's not just fruitless, it's just horrible. Brother Wen didn't know, I passed out from anger in front of His Majesty, If this matter gets out, how can I see the lord?"

As soon as Yang Biao heard about this, he immediately said: "Brother Jing Xing doesn't have to be like this, Cao Mengde can't stay there, if he joins the Han family, he will not only return to Zhengshuo, but also get a high position of two thousand shi."

When Wang Lang heard this, his anger flared up again: "The Son of Heaven, who is so dull and ignorant, how can he know people? The war between Yuan and Cao is already in full swing, but he looks ignorant, he doesn't know what's going on!"

After complaining about this sentence, Wang Lang wanted to drink another cup of tea, but when he poured the tea, he glanced slightly and saw Yang Biao's inscrutable smile.That look was like looking at a fool, Wang Lang was immediately discouraged, he couldn't help waving his hands and said: "I know, our emperor is a talent from the sky, when he was a young man, he was able to keep the Han Dynasty under Dong Thief's hands. Now it is even more rejuvenating to the Han Dynasty. He is truly a unique genius. However, Your Majesty is cunning and wise, but he pretends to be stupid with me. I have the power to move mountains and fill the sea, but I have nowhere to use it. !"

"There is no gold, no one is perfect, no matter how talented and intelligent your majesty is, he is not without flaws. Jing Xing, the reason why your efforts are in vain is because you have not found the way."

As soon as Yang Biao said this, Wang Lang's hand pouring the tea trembled, and then he ignored the tea and said eagerly, "Brother Wenxian please teach me."

Yang Biao smiled lightly, and said mysteriously: "Your Majesty is not a person who lives in the palace. He likes the white dragon fish suit the most, and goes deep into the market. If you can meet someone who doesn't know his identity in Chang'an City, you will be able to see him." After a lot of bargaining and buying something, you will be happy to show it to the queen for days."

"I've heard for a long time that your Majesty's great commercialism has made Guanzhong rich and prosperous for several years, and it has connected the world. But what does this matter have to do with me?" Wang Lang couldn't help frowning. Although he studied Confucius and Mencius, he abides by simplicity and self-cultivation, but he doesn't despise merchants. .Those like him who are so open-minded in their knowledge are the real scholars of this era.

However, he still couldn't figure out why Yang Biao would suddenly bring up the topic of the merchant.

"The Jingxing authorities are confused. I mean, your majesty manages the world. Although he also uses benevolence and power, in his bones, he regards the world as a big business. And you came here this time, to put it elegantly, Game; to put it bluntly, it is called a transaction. Since it is a transaction, you come here with empty teeth, and you want His Majesty to issue an edict in front of the palace, and all the troops will come out, isn't it a bit too natural?"

Wang Lang frowned first, displeased.But thinking of being stunned this morning, he knew that he must be like Yang Biao.At this moment, he seemed to have found the key to solving the problem, he couldn't help leaning forward, and said more sincerely: "Brother Wen Xian, please speak clearly."

"Okay." Yang Biao smiled slightly, and said without any excuses: "In that case, I will use this trading technique to explain it to you. There are no more than two kinds of transactions in this world. You love me, I want to buy and sell by force." .You love and I would like to include two kinds, fair trade, mutual benefit; the other is that one is willing to fight, and the other is willing to endure."

"At the beginning, your lord relied on Yuan Shao, so he was very disrespectful to the Han Dynasty. Although your lord recognized the general trend and gradually moved closer to the Han Dynasty, no matter what, the Han Dynasty is orthodox in the world, but your lord is no more than one Minister, how can your Majesty easily expose the minister’s offense to the emperor? Therefore, since the two parties are not polite, it’s your turn to come to the door today and ask someone to do something, of course it’s not that easy.”

"Brother Wen Xian, great advice!" Hearing Yang Biao's explanation, Wang Lang suddenly felt enlightened, and couldn't help but said, "At the right time, after I was rescued by the imperial physician Zhang Ji, I still refused to give up. Do you know how His Majesty told you? His Majesty even said that he needs to convene a study on civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty..."

Anyone who has a little contact with official leaders knows what the so-called research and research will mean.Not to mention, Cao Mengde used this trick to fool Xu You back then, and now Wang Lang is Cao Cao's subordinate, how could he not know the mystery of this?
"Brother Jing Xing, there is no need to doubt. Your Majesty will definitely call a group of officials this time, and play a good show for you in the court. However, you must be aware of the final result of the decision. It will definitely be delayed again and again. Even, They will also use all kinds of excuses that you have never heard of, and drag it until the end of the Yuan Cao war, and there will be no definite resolution."

When Wang Lang thought of Liu Xie's appearance of pretending to be stupid, he couldn't help but feel a chill all over his body: he believed that the emperor of the Han Dynasty who didn't show any face at all would definitely do this.

And next, as for how to do it, Wang Lang didn't need Yang Biaoquan to say it.Some things are meaningless to say.

At this time, Wang Lang has already realized that the situation is worse than others, and he can only be slaughtered and admit defeat.Since the dominant power of the game is in the hands of the emperor of the Han Dynasty, the emperor must use technology to increase the bargaining chips here.

Moreover, Wang Lang also believed that Cao Cao, the son of Cao Song who was most familiar with officialdom and merchants at the time, must understand the rules of the game.It is even possible that he sent himself here because of this.Because, he knew that he would definitely come to Yang's mansion to find out.

Thinking of this, Wang Lang couldn't wait to say: "Brother Wen, since this is the case, what kind of sincerity do we have to show to make His Majesty calm down?"

That's right, in Wang Lang's view, Liu Xie is playing childish temper.It's just that the timing of this temper tantrum was so precise that he had no choice but to accept it as it was ordered.

Unexpectedly, as soon as these words came out, Yang Biao, who had been smiling all the time, suddenly turned serious, and said, "Jing Xing, at this moment, it is about the mood of the emperor, and it is even more about the face of the Han family, how dare I say it casually? "

Wang Lang is so angry!
What playing with a child's temper is clearly a trap: You and the emperor of the Han Dynasty are clearly on the same side!Now you see that we are a fat fish, you want to kill us, and you want us to take the initiative to ask for a price. Aren't you playing hooligans?

No wonder, no wonder you explained it to me without reservation when I asked about it.It turns out that everything is waiting for me here!

Can you monarchs and ministers of the Han Dynasty stop being so shameless!

But curses are curses, and slander can only be slander.At this moment, Wang Lang could only pretend to be educated, and respectfully apologized to Yang Biao: "I was the one who was abrupt, and I hope Mr. Wen is not to blame."

"You and my friendship, why is this necessary?" Yang Biao just turned his face and smiled, his face was the same as that of his son, a fox face.

Wang Lang was cheated miserably in Chang'an, and he didn't want to stay in Yang's house any longer: "In that case, then I will return to Yanzhou, and discuss with the lord to come up with a regulation as soon as possible."

"No hurry." Yang Biao stretched out his hand to stop Wang Lang again at this time, but when Wang Lang wanted to refuse, Yang Biao's face darkened again, and he pointed to the north and said, "The reasons for your Majesty's refusal to send troops are just one of the above. One reason is that once the Han Dynasty sends out troops, the emperor will inevitably lead another conquest. But at this time, Chang'an cannot be separated from the emperor..."

Wang Lang couldn't help but followed Yang Biao's hope and looked to the north, and suddenly thought of something, his expression changed greatly: "Brother Wenxian is saying?..."

"Don't say it, don't say it..." At this moment, Yang Biao let go of his hand holding Wang Lang.But he knew that Wang Lang couldn't leave for the time being.
