Thinking of this, Yuan Shu decided to give up Yuan's shop and maximize his profits. It would be better if he could become a Yuzhou pastor, but not the governor of Runan.
As long as you return to the base camp, the sky is high and birds can fly, and the sea is wide and fish can jump. Firmly take root in Runan, then lay out Yuzhou, reach out to Yangzhou, gather the two states and raise troops to go north, take Yanzhou, Jingzhou, Xuzhou, Qingzhou...
But how to deal with Yuan's shop?
Initially, the idea was to hand over the management of Yuan's shop to General He Jin. But thinking about the current situation in the court, although the general said that he was competing with the power of the ten permanent servants, in reality. Shi Changshi had the upper hand, which made Yuan Shu rule out the idea of handing over Yuan's shop to the general.
Yuan Shu also thought about directly handing over the management rights of Yuan's shop to the emperor, but such a sudden move would make Emperor Ling suspicious, and it would be difficult for him to explain.
After weighing the pros and cons, Yuan Shu thought of Shi Changshi...
If you give the entirety of Yuan's shop to Shi Chang Shi, you can show your goodwill indirectly. Take this opportunity to ask to return to Runan!
Yuan's shop is a treasure that lays golden eggs. If Shi Changshi takes over, the current situation of himself and Yuan will be improved.
What's more, during the Yellow Turban period, these ten constant attendants still needed to say a few kind words in front of the emperor, so that they could exchange their military exploits for more benefits!
Little did they know that Lu Zhi was imprisoned precisely because of the frame-up of Shi Changshi. If Yuan Shu succeeded in defeating the Yellow Turbans, but was wiped out by three strikes and five divided by two by these ten constant servants...
After much deliberation, Yuan Shu still felt that it was very right to hand over Yuan's shop to Shi Chang Shi in exchange for benefits. The Shichang servant regards wealth as his life, and collects it by force! I wish I could get the right to operate Yuan's store as soon as possible.
Now Yuan Shu is planning how to transport the wealth, secrets and soldiers in the Huben Forbidden Army camp accumulated in Luoyang in the past two years back to Runan.
Especially the soldiers in the Huben Forbidden Army Camp. Although they have not killed an enemy on the field in the past two years, under the training of Chen Dao, Yu Chigong and others, they are as powerful as a rainbow and can execute orders and prohibitions.
Bringing him back to Runan, he will definitely be the elite among the main force! The weekly devilish test alone made it unbearable for many people, but they were able to persevere in the end.
Yuchi Gong and other commanders spent countless efforts on subsequent training.
Thinking of this, Yuan Shu quickly wrote a letter and waved his hand to his servants to secretly hand over the letter to Yu Chigong and others.
The main content of the letter is to ask Yuchi Gong to assemble the soldiers in the Huben Forbidden Army, and then take the soldiers' families with them, waiting to set off for Runan!
"Where are Dian Wei and Yuan Ji? Follow me to the mansion of Zhang Rang, the Shichang Shishi."
Now that you have made a decision, you must act resolutely!
Prepare some gifts and two bodyguards, and visit Zhang Rang, the ten permanent servants...
Taking a horse-drawn carriage, we arrived at Zhangrang's Mansion in just a cup of tea. It is splendid and magnificent, twice the size of Yuan Feng's mansion and even bigger!
The outside of the mansion was heavily guarded, with soldiers patrolling and standing guard with weapons. Seeing Yuan Shu's carriage parked outside the mansion, the soldiers came to inquire and saw that it was Huben Zhonglang who was visiting Yuan Shu.
After temporarily collecting the weapons of the group, everyone was allowed to enter. Yuan Shu asked his servants to move the prepared boxes of gifts to the lobby of the mansion!
Zhang Rang received the news when the weapons of Yuan Shu and his party were taken away, and waited in the lobby. Seeing that Yuan Shu had brought so many boxes of gifts, he couldn't help but be a little surprised.
He was at odds with the Yuan family, but Yuan Shu came to visit him with gifts, which made him a little confused.
"General Yuan Shu, Lieutenant General Huben, pays homage to Lord Zhang. I hope you don't mind this small gift..."
Then Yuan Shu waved his hand, and the servants opened the boxes.
I saw that the box was filled with jade, pearls and jade ornaments, real gold and silver, rhinoceros horns and mink skins...
This made Zhang Rang's eyes unable to leave the treasure box for a while, staring at it. His eyes were full of greed and desire, which made Yuan Shu disdain him!
"I wonder what Master Huben will do in our house in the future?"
Although Zhang Rang is greedy for money, he still knows his priorities well. He straightened his clothes and asked Yuan Shu why he came here.
Seeing Zhang Rang asking him, Yuan Shu didn't mince words and said straight to the point.
"Actually, I came here today to ask for something. I have heard for a long time that Sir Yuan's Shop is very important to me. Sir, you know that.
Yuan's shop is making a lot of money every day. If this shop is handed over to you, it will surely prosper..."
Yuan Shu first told Zhang Rang roughly the income of Yuan's shop. Of course, Zhang Rang knew all this, but he did not interrupt Yuan Shu's words and just nodded silently.
"What's the purpose of Highway's visit this time? It's just to hand over the full power of Yuan's shop to you, sir.
Highway has always had an idea, which is to return home in rich clothes and benefit the country..."
After all, there is so much foreshadowing. But Zhang Rang understood that Yuan Shu came to him and said that he would give all Yuan's shops to him.
The purpose is to change the local official Dangdang. From Yuan Shu's tone, it seems that he couldn't stand the fighting in Luoyang City, so he chose to return home...
Since Yuan Shu had this intention, he also presented Yuan's store as such a great gift. Zhang Rang was naturally speechless and nodded, indicating that Yuan Shu understood what he meant.
"The road is good... We will submit a petition to His Majesty to confer you the title of Yuzhou... No, the Governor of Runan. We can set off after Your Majesty agrees!"
When he heard Zhang Rang talking about Yuzhou, Yuan Shu's face turned red with excitement. The next moment he said it was the prefect of Runan, his expression became complicated again.
But it's not bad. It's good to be replaced by a Runan magistrate. After all, my home base is in Runan!
Yuan Shu then mentioned the soldiers of the Huben Forbidden Army. He simply said that he needed soldiers to protect him when he returned to Runan. The journey was long and difficult to travel!
There are many bandits and thieves along the way, and you may suffer disaster if you are not careful...
Zhang Rang nodded nonchalantly when he heard Yuan Shu's words. At this time, all Zhang Rang could think about was taking over Yuan's shop and making money every day!
"Okay, okay! Let's write a memorial now and present it to the emperor tomorrow morning.
You can handle these things yourself without going into details with our family. "
Zhang Rang, who looked impatient, waved his hand to indicate that Yuan Shu could leave.
Looking at the big male duck in front of him, Yuan Shu felt sick. Now that the deal has been reached, there is no need to stay here.
After saying goodbye to Zhang Rang, Yuan Shu left without looking back.
"What the hell! How shameless... Where are Dian Wei and Yuan Ji? Come with me to Yuan's shop!"
Suppressing the anger in his heart, Yuan Shu and others came to Yuan's shop.
At this time, the business of Yuan's shop was booming, and Shen Wansan was too busy to deal with it, so he recruited several new businessmen.
Among them are Su Shuang and Zhang Shiping, the guys who will donate the magic weapons and BMWs to the Three Taoyuan Brothers in the future.
Unexpectedly, Shen Wansan actually recruited them. It seemed that Uncle Liu Huang and the three of them had their opportunity taken away by him...
