"We can't come forward this time. We need to send our men to buy copper and iron. But this business was driven up by prices last time. Many scholar-bureaucrats are targeting this area."
Wang Shumao chuckled, "Not only are they targeting, they have already taken action, so they won't give us almost any share."
When he looked at Guo Chong, he suddenly realized how this guy had turned into a resentful woman. His eyes were all green. Hey, he had the same look as the dog you raised.
"Bastard, bastard, these bastards don't even take me to play, and they never call me when they're making money."
Guo Chong felt that he was about to explode, but he never thought that when he was making money, he never called anyone.
It's nothing more than giving 10% of the money you earn to the young master each time, and then showing your loyalty by saying that this is 90% of what you earn.
"Then what do we do?"
Wang Shushu said seriously.
"With Master Guo's current status, can't he still control a few passes?"
Guo Chong was stunned and instantly ecstatic. This made sense.
Shangguo is entrenched in the Central Plains, and there is naturally no shortage of copper and iron. But what is expensive now is the cost of smelting copper and iron, as well as the cost of transportation.
When some copper and iron are transported to Fuyan and various military camps and placed on the transportation routes, there is no problem.
"That's right, that's right. It's just that I did all the work. What's the role, sir?"
At this moment, Wang Shumao felt as if he had lost his temper in his heart. How could this man turn his back on others so quickly? It's faster than Jun Shang's sword.
There are such shameless people in the world.
"The Xia Kingdom also has copper and iron."
"Hahaha, I'm just joking, let's give it a 50-50 score this time."
"Then I would like to thank Mr. Guo."
After chatting about some things, they dispersed.
Wang Shushu left Guo Mansion and immediately urged Xiao Wu to leave.
Xiaowu was shocked and thought he was being chased. Unexpectedly, Wang Shushu said he felt unwell and wanted to vomit.
Indeed, communicating with people like Guo Chong makes me want to vomit.
It's 50-50, but he actually wants to pay 70% of the share. It's really funny. Such a shameless person is probably the only one in the world.
After the two of them left.
Guo Chong immediately ordered two things. The first was to send his men to intercept various traffic arteries.
Whenever a pound of copper or iron enters the customs, it is bought directly at a very low price.
Second, Luo Zhi looked down upon himself and was guilty of being an official.
As a villain who relied on Gongzi Rei, Guo Chong naturally knew that he had no real ability, so he couldn't flatter him.
But now and then, almost everyone thought he was just a treacherous villain.
Guo Chong has already begun to establish his own power.
Even Young Master Jun was half-controlled by him.
But don't forget who found the prostitute.
At that time, several women were trained in the brothel specifically to serve the young master.
But he was worried and secretly cultivated a young master whom he liked very much.
As Guo Chong, who grew up with the young master, he naturally knew what he liked. He talked to the woman in detail and cultivated his interests in a targeted way.
The young master refused to be attacked naturally.
The young master rejected the group of ministers who were discussing with some retainers in the mansion how to arrange the surrender.
Kill, can't kill, let go, but don't worry, if you are in the original position, what will your ministers do?
A carrot and a pit.
But things are very difficult to handle. After all, the ministers all have families.
The power behind him cannot be underestimated.
"Report~~~~"
"What's up?"
At this time, Young Master was extremely depressed. In the past, he only needed to eat, drink, and have fun, and he didn't need to worry about anything.
It's so good now, I don't even have time to play with the beauty.
A boy ran in, his face full of panic.
"Mr. Gongzi, Mr. Guo, Mr. Guo, kill, kill Mr. Zhang, Mr. Huang, Mr. Xu and his family."
Instantly, many people in the room were shocked.
An old man said tremblingly.
"Nonsense, who told him to kill people randomly?"
"Oh, how can you kill so many people?"
But there are also different opinions.
"As expected of Prime Minister Guo, he is really ruthless in his actions."
It can be seen from this that even among the ministers who took refuge with Gongzi Rei, they were not monolithic.
Young Master Jie's eyebrows suddenly lit up, he had long disliked those old guys.
But after all, he is a young man, so he has to put on the pretense.
"Nonsense, ask Guo Chong to come over to me."
Not long after, Guo Chong came running all the way, his forehead covered with sweat.
As soon as he entered the door, he fell to his knees on the ground and burst into tears.
"Young master, I, I really can't stand it. Not only did they collude with you, but they also seriously injured you."
After speaking, he took out all the bamboo slips one by one.
"what are these?"
Guo Chong said, "These are all evidence of the rebellion of the three families, and some people were arrested by me. These are all people loyal to Gongziguan."
"Young Master, if the Queen or the General pursues the matter, I will take full responsibility and will never implicate the Young Master."
Young Master refused to speak, his expression was a bit exciting. From his own point of view, Guo Chong was really beautiful at what he did.
These three old guys were the ones who danced the most when he abolished his first wife, and he had long wanted to kill them.
The young master refused and kicked Guo Chong down.
"Get up, why are you pretending to be pitiful? But who asked you to kill someone?"
Guo Chong's face was full of confusion. "This, this me, I didn't kill anyone. It was the three ministers who fell to death at the door of the prison. And I didn't touch any of their family members. They are all locked in the prison."
Gongzi Guan's face was full of surprise, but after a while, his expression softened.
Guo Chong has indeed become the prime minister now, but it is not that simple for the prime minister to kill some ministers, especially since the officials of the three families are not low-ranking and they all hold real power.
Who would have thought that Guo Chong would dare to be so unruly and take action without permission, so he got into trouble.
But fortunately, at least there is an excuse, and the other person's family members are not dead, so it makes sense.
At this time, several ministers said.
"Young master, in less than a month, the certificate of credence will be delivered to the hands of all countries. You are already the king."
"It's better to remove some unstable factors in advance. Only in this way can the throne be secure."
Young Master Shui narrowed his eyes, and his whole body exuded a violent aura.
He is the second generation ancestor and a playboy, but that doesn't mean he is a fool.
I just didn’t want to fight before. Now that I have fought, I will fight to the end.
The young master refused to bow his hands slightly to the many ministers who had taken refuge in him.
"My lords, I'll leave it to you this time."
All the ministers handed over their hands.
Everyone understands that Young Master has taken out the benefits and asked everyone to start distributing them. As for how to distribute them, that is not his specialty.
Not long after, a general purge began in Fuyan's court, and many ministers dismounted.
However, these ministers were quite restrained. At least no one was killed, but their land and mines were swallowed up.
This is the real benefit. When you eat it, it will feel sweet to your heart.
As a treacherous villain, Guo Chong is naturally surrounded by people with similar odors. With his power, he will naturally win over a large number of followers.
There are also some people with real abilities among the disciples, but in this era, when the disciples choose a family, they are also screening the family.
And capable people will naturally be more temperamental.
Such people are either marginalized or driven away directly in Guo Chong's mansion.
A few days ago, there was a retainer who really couldn't stand it and told Guo Chong very solemnly not to touch the interests of the upper class. If there was a large-scale purge, it would be a taboo.
First: It makes almost all the top powerful families hostile. Not even the young master can sway these families.
Second: When all the interests are gathered into one, then Guo Chong is not a hunter at this time, but a hunter and prey who return with a full load, and he will also be hunted by others.
It's just that this person is good at everything, but his emotional intelligence is not high, he never flatters, and basically pours cold water on him.
How could Guo Chong listen at this time, when he was officially in the spring breeze? After scolding him, he drove the person away.
He is also expanding his power, absorbing land, going further and further on the road to wealth, and his power is growing to the sky.
The young master refused and began to prepare to ascend to the throne of the king.
But at this time, there was almost an uproar in Shang Guo's court, and everyone was afraid that their homes would be confiscated and their ancestors would be destroyed.
Of course, there is also the small group of people who look like they are old gods, but they are not in a good mood recently. Some of their younger brothers were killed, so they naturally feel uncomfortable.
But they are not afraid. Among these people, there are not only the top nobles of Shang Kingdom, but also the royal family of Shang Kingdom, that is, the king's own family. What are they afraid of?
Among these people, there are many people who are uncles and brothers of Gongzi Rei in terms of seniority.
These people looked at Guo Chong as if they were a clown.
Not to mention the local area, Guo Chong would not refuse anyone who came, as long as it was land, he would swallow up everything he could, not only good land, but also inferior land.
Wang Shumao still encouraged him with all his strength.
In the private room of the brothel, Wang Shumao kept drinking wine, sip after sip, continuously. Although it was beer, it was easy to get drunk. Unfortunately, there were no peanuts, but if there were any peanuts, he would not drink like this.
"I said, Uncle Wang, that's it. I can't understand it more and more now. Their power is getting bigger and bigger. Even the generals are no longer at home anymore."
Wang Shumao didn't speak, he just stopped and started drinking again.
"I'm asking you something, Uncle Wang!"
Wang Shumao said with a depressed face, "Do you think I don't know? But in this situation, what can I do?"
He stood up, nodded at Xiao Wu, who was gorgeously dressed and wearing an exquisite jade pendant, and said, "Look at you, you used to stab people with swords, but now? Wearing gorgeous clothes, with beautiful jade, and having a carriage when going out, even though it is a sheep-drawn carriage. .”
"But the two of us are not good at planning. We can only listen to your Majesty's steps step by step. We will do whatever your Majesty says."
"Otherwise, what should I do? Question your Majesty? Don't say whether your decision is wrong or right. Anyway, up to now, no decision made by your Majesty has been missed."
