"Do you remember that the last time we went to Xianyang, we visited that boy's bookstore and met him. Before we left, the boy said something...?"
Mentioning Ying Feiyu, Xiang Liang also suddenly remembered what happened before.
"Don't be anti-Qin!"
Fan Zeng squinted his cloudy old eyes and said in a deep voice.
It was precisely because he thought of these words that he got chills!
When we were in the bookstore, we were talking about the harmony of the six countries, and we talked about it here in a hurry, but the three of us didn't agree!
Thinking about it now, it turns out that this kid had already recognized them at that time, and this sentence was meant for them!
Thinking of this, Xiang Liang couldn't help but take a breath!
"What if that kid knows our identities? Why don't you let us go obediently? Besides, we are already in Pengcheng. Even if that kid knows our identities, he can't find us!"
Of all the people present, Xiang Yu was the only one who did not show any fear. Instead, he clenched his fists, his joints creaking, and his face was full of fighting spirit.
"It's hard to say. Now this guy's prestige is getting higher and higher. Many people from the Six Nations have sincerely surrendered to Da Qin. If this continues, even if we raise the flag of rebellion, not many people will respond!"
Fan Zeng shook his head helplessly.
"Then what are we waiting for? Let's start a rebellion now. If we wait any longer, the situation will become more complicated!"
If they had followed Xiang Yu's wishes, they should have launched an army a year ago.
It was Xiang Liang and Fan Zeng who stopped him, saying they wanted to wait for the opportunity.
First join forces with Li Si to defeat Da Qin from the inside, and then attack from the outside!
Unexpectedly, the plan failed. Not only did Da Qin have no internal problems, it was also developing faster and faster, giving them no chance to make a move!
"Military advisor, what do you think?"
Xiang Liang is now neutral and can't make up his mind whether he should wait a little longer or listen to his nephew and start an army immediately.
"No!"
However, Fan Zeng refused immediately without even thinking about it.
"Father, why is this? If we allow Great Qin to continue to develop, it will be even harder for us to overthrow it in the future!"
Xiang Yu looked anxious.
Practicing martial arts in his house in Pengcheng every day almost drove him crazy. The only thought that supported him was rebellion!
Just the thought of an imminent rebellion makes his blood boil!
"The imperial court has just executed Chen Sheng and Wu Guang, and the people are applauding. Now that we are raising troops, there will probably be very few responses. It is not the best time!"
Fan Zeng pondered for a moment and said in a heavy tone.
"Then the opportunity was not available before, and now is not the best time, Yafu, then when is the best time?"
Upon hearing this, Xiang Yu couldn't help but become a little anxious.
If it were anyone else, he would definitely not listen to a word, not believe a word, and turn around and leave.
But Fan Zeng is different. He is a rare counselor and has won the trust of the Xiang family, so he respects him as his second father!
"It would be great if there was a natural disaster at this time!"
Before Fan Zeng could speak, Xiang Liang said in a deep voice.
If there is a natural disaster, the people will definitely suffer. When they are inciting the disaster, the people will definitely blame Da Qin for the natural disaster.
When the time comes, if they hold high the banner of rebellion, many people will respond!
If we unite with the nobles of the other five countries and attack together, we will have a greater chance of winning!
"That's right...!"
Fan Zeng nodded and began to think.
This year, the weather in Great Qin has been smooth. Except for some drought in the spring, which was solved by Xiao Zhengtai, there have been no disasters in the entire Great Qin, making them unable to deal with it.
Just when he was at a loss what to do, he accidentally caught a glimpse of the dark cloudy sky, and an idea suddenly came to him.
"According to my observation, this winter will definitely be a cold one, with continuous heavy snowfall. Why don't we take advantage of now and collect all the furs we can buy? When the cold winter comes, the soldiers will have no furs to keep out the cold, and the people will have no furs to cover their bodies. There will be no furs. If you don't freeze to death and starve to death, there will be complaints. When the time comes, we will take out the furs, and the people will be grateful!"
"When that time comes, under the banner of restoring the old Chu, we will definitely get twice the result with half the effort and arouse a crazy response from the people!"
"Wonderful, wonderful!"
"My father is very resourceful and it is indeed a good idea!"
"The imperial court will hoard food, but it will not hoard furs at all. As long as there is nothing for sale on the market, even if the imperial court has money, it will not be able to buy it. It can only watch the people freeze to death!"
"As long as the people have resentment in their hearts, if we raise our banner, the whole country will definitely respond!"
"Haha! Great, we can accomplish great things!"
…
As soon as Fan Zeng finished speaking, everyone in the hospital clapped their hands and applauded.
"But...even though our Xiang family is rich, it is probably impossible for us to monopolize the entire Da Qin!"
In the corner, a lower-ranking descendant of the Xiang family muttered in a low voice.
Even so, everyone in the yard heard it clearly, and the smiles on their faces suddenly froze!
That’s right!
Although the Xiang family is rich, they have been sitting on nothing for the past year. They support such a large family and have a lot of expenses every day. It is simply impossible to sell all the furs on the market!
"Yafu...?"
Hearing that there would be a rebellion soon, Xiang Yu's mood was just surging, but this sentence immediately extinguished his hope.
He looked at Fan Zeng with a lonely expression!
"Then we need to find wealthy businessmen to join us!"
"A wealthy businessman?"
"That's right, Da Qin is so big. It's impossible for all wealthy households to be devoted to Da Qin. There are always a few who are anti-Qin like us. Starting tomorrow, we will contact the wealthy businessmen from the six countries to see if they are willing. Participate in the plan...!"
Fan Zeng stroked his beard and continued: "I remember, the last time we went to Xianyang to meet Li Si, we seemed to have heard that there was a Cui family who brewed wine, and it seemed that they were also contacting Li Si, hoping to use his hand to bring down Ying Feiyu!"
"The enemy of our enemy is our friend. Maybe we can win him over to our side and implement this plan with us!"
"What Yafu said is right. I also heard about this when I was in Xianyang last time. It seems that that boy robbed other people's business and left them with no way to survive. Moreover, the Cui family has been in business for hundreds of years. We have accumulated a lot of wealth, even among the richest people in Xianyang, and they will definitely be able to help us!"
Xiang Yu's eyes suddenly lit up, and hope rekindled in his eyes.
"In that case, I will go there personally to unite with the Cui family!"
After saying that, Xiang Liang was about to turn around and go out, but was grabbed by Fan Zeng.
"No! Xianyang is in the spotlight right now, so it's not appropriate for us to come forward!"
"What should we do? As Yu'er just said, the Cui family has a century-old family business. As long as they are brought over, plus our Xiang family, not to mention buying out the fur of the entire Da Qin, at least more than half of it will be needed. !”
"No matter how rich the Cui family is, they are just a family of merchants. Our Xiang family is a noble of the Chu Kingdom. We don't need to invite him in person, we just need to write a letter!"
Although the old man Fan Zeng was concerned about the Cui family's money, he didn't look down on the Cui family at all.
The idea that merchants are of low status has been deeply ingrained in the old man's mind and cannot be changed!
