Chapter 25: Human Heart
Yang Zhen quickly adjusted his mentality, saluted and said: "My lords, these people asked me to ask about the situation."
He Xi said: "How is the situation outside?"
Yang Zhen said: "They are all eager for details. Sir, what's going on below?"
He Xi said: "Originally, this matter was not like this. This is what Mr. Yao meant. Let Mr. Yao tell you."
good. Originally, He Xi had never thought about what means to use in this matter. After all, in his opinion, although he had some adventures. But essentially they both make money. Coupled with the endorsement of He Xi's own political influence. There should be no problem.
But Yao Guangxiao intervened in this matter.
Yao Guangxiao is a master at calculating people's hearts.
With a slight change, the host and guest change positions.
Before, He Xi's plan, regardless of whether both parties made money, was essentially that He Xi needed these people more. As for He Xi's new plan, these people begged He Xi to do something. So He Xi changed the plan after temporarily discussing with Yao Guangxiao. He Xi admired Yao Guangxiao's method of calculating people's hearts. Even in future generations, such a person can become a big boss if he is on the right path. If he takes the wrong path, he is also a master of fraud.
Therefore, I handed this matter over to Yao Guangxiao.
Yao Guangxiao knew Yang Zhen quite well. He said: "Yang Zhen, what do you think of these three things? What is most important to us and what is most important to them?"
Yang Zhen thought for a moment and said, "Probably Japan has procurement matters, and they are the most concerned about it."
Yao Guangxiao said; "So these two things cannot be given to them."
Yang Zhen was stunned and said: "If I don't give it, what did I say before?"
Yao Guangxiao said: "How can my lord get involved in these common business affairs of merchants? He just arranged for one person to do it. Then he ignored it. Therefore, my lord didn't want to give it. Instead, someone did it in private."
Yang Zhen said: "Who is it?"
Yao Guangxiao said: "Yang Zhen, the foreign affairs manager of He Mansion."
Yang Zhen immediately understood that Yao Guangxiao wanted him to be the king of hell and a difficult kid. For him to be the joint that these people must open up. Yang Zhen's first feeling was worry. He knew the allusion that Cao Cao used the grain officer's head to use.
It's not impossible to take the blame for the leader. It is not impossible to do dirty work for the leader. But it depends on the nature of the scapegoating and dirty work. Yang Zhen is also He Xi's old team. He is also loyal to He Xi. Even if other forces want to win over him, they can't win over him. He can be regarded as a die-hard loyalist.
But for such a person, if he is asked to give his life to He Xi, it is not polite to thank him.
It's just that it's not easy to say this to your face.
Yang Zhen said: "I understand what Mr. Yao wants. But even if I get involved, I may not be able to make much money. What you want is not tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of taels. But more. This is Absolutely not."
Yao Guangxiao said: "Can't we just not use cash?"
Yang Zhen was stunned and said, "What do you mean, sir?"
Yao Guangxiao said: "I don't quite understand this. Sir, please explain it to him."
He Xi said: "You must first understand what futures are, what a bank is, and what credit is."
He Xi spoke eloquently. Although, He Xi doesn't know much about finance. But under the influence of his ears and eyes, he can be regarded as the most proficient person in the world. Businessmen in this era were very simple in everything they did. The bigger the businessman, the more so.
Didn't even think about it. He Xi will make such a big trick.
How many people are here. In fact, this was not the first time I heard He Xi talk about his plan. But I still feel that if He Xi becomes a liar, the emperor will probably be fooled as well.
After Yang Zhen heard this, he felt a little numb.
There have been too many shocks these past few days. It seemed that the muscles on his face were stiff and he couldn't make a surprised expression at all.
He Xi finally said: "Do you understand what to do?"
Yang Zhen said: "I understand. It's just that students don't know whether it can achieve the results adults want."
Yao Guangxiao said: "It doesn't matter, people's hearts are like this. Even if they know that there is something wrong in it, they don't want to get things into their own hands."
When Yang Zhen heard what Yao Guangxiao said, he had to admit that this was too correct. This has been the case throughout the ages. Even when many people in later generations invested, they did not know the tricks of many projects, but they were just confident not to take the last shot.
------
After Yang Zhen came back, he immediately closed the door and thanked the guests.
Although many people wanted to see him, Yang Zhen didn't see anyone. He just secretly called a few people he got along with. They are representatives of King Jingjiang, Chen Zuxiao, and representatives of the Guan family, people who already have a good personal relationship with Yang Zhen.
Yang Zhen summoned them into the inner room and said, "I know what you want to ask. It's just that there are many joints in this matter that need to be opened."
Chen Zuxiao smiled slightly after hearing this and said, "Brother Yang, just say it. Just tell me the number and I won't counter-offer."
Yang Zhen smiled bitterly and said: "To be honest, I can play a very small role in it. It's Mr. He. Although he is worried about business, he cares about the macroeconomics, just like this time. He only cares about being able to sell Liaodong's properties Go. In fact, it has been done now. Hundreds of thousands of people have been sent out. Sooner or later, people from Liaodong will come like clouds. He doesn't pay much attention to the rest of the things. What's more, there is also the matter of Yongchang Marquis. He is even less willing to take care of it. I can still make the decision on procurement matters. But I can’t make the decision on the affairs of Marquis Yongchang."
Chen Zuxiao thought to himself: "Then let's do the things that you can decide." Chen Zuxiao had this idea, but he was determined not to say it out loud. If nothing else, be sensible. Yang Zhen said that he played a very small role in it and had no intention of making money, so he really believed it.
If that were the case, there would be so many corrupt officials in the world. They all say they are innocent.
Yang Zhen didn't see most people, so he gathered a few people together in private. What has been hinted at? Who doesn't understand.
From ancient times to the present, even in later generations, it has been normal to do business and manage things. It is normal for middlemen to make a profit from it. Who doesn’t know these veterans who have been in the mall for so many years?
Chen Zuxiao glanced at the other people with his peripheral vision, and saw the twinkle in their eyes, and they all understood it. Chen Zuxiao said: "What instructions does Marquis Yongchang have?"
Yang Zhen said: "The Marquis of Yongchang has been very popular during this period. Everyone has heard about it. In this matter, it is not good to be too explicit. Otherwise, His Majesty will not be able to tolerate it. Of course. Marquis Yongchang has made great achievements in battle. . The title of Duke has long been the intended meaning of the title. It's just that some people are aggrieved and feel that he can't go beyond the Marquis of Yingchuan to be granted a Marquis first. Even the preparations for the title of Marquis have been made. It's either the Duke of Liao or the Duke of Ying. "
The meaning of Yang Zhen's words is very clear. That is, even if Lan Yu encounters some minor problems in the future, it is impossible for him to fall.
After all, it was because of He Xi's influence. Zhu Yuanzhang's knife was not aimed at Xungui. Even the death of Li Shanchang. It was also handled secretly. Most people who should know how Li Shanchang died already know it. But to the common people and outsiders, it was known that Li Shanchang died from fatigue during the journey. More people know that it seems that he fell into the water when getting on and off the boat. The old man couldn't bear it anymore, so he left.
We don't know the real cause of Li Shanchang's death at all. It will probably become a mystery even in the history.
Therefore, everyone feels that the status of Ming Dynasty's nobles is very stable, especially since these people themselves are attached to the system of nobles. With their interests related, they hope that Xungui's good life will flourish. I never thought that one day my house would collapse.
And there is no such trend now.
Therefore, despite Lan Yu's current achievements and status, even if he fails in the future, he will just be exiled to a remote place to guard. As long as Lan Yu doesn't die, squeezing these people to death is just as easy as blowing a breath. Therefore, no matter how far this matter is done today, if something happens in the future, even if they die, they will not be able to implicate Yongchang Hou. And it is very possible that Yang Zhen will not recognize everything said here when he leaves the house.
Chen Zuxiao said: "Brother Yang, whatever you say, we all know the rules. We know what to say and what not to say."
