Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Liu Bang was not a saint, but he was very grateful to Guan Ying for helping him.  So seeing Guan Ying's troubled look, he gave her a reassuring smile.

    "Miss Guan Ying, don't worry. If nothing happens, the Qin army should not be able to attack Handan City this time. Once the Qin army retreats, Handan City will also relax the ban, and you can leave the city."

    Of course, Liu Bang is definitely not talking big words.  Even if he fails this time, as long as the Han King's army in Handan City persists for a while, Zhang Han will definitely retreat by then!

    But is it really possible?  Because the current situation in Handan City may be much worse than Liu Bang and Zhang Liang expected.

    For this reason, Liu Bang finally bit the bullet and presented to Guan Ying the most important part of the plan that Zhang Liang told him last night.

    "I know this request may be a bit too much, but Miss Guan Ying, I can guarantee that once successful, the siege of Handan City will be completely resolved within today! By then, there will still be many of you who are besieged in the city.  You can all leave safely without worrying about being purged by the Qin army after the city is broken."

    After finishing speaking, he looked at the woman in front of him, who was perhaps one or two years older than him, with some uneasiness and expectation.  Her answer will definitely affect the success of this plan.

    "How sure are you of Pei Gong's plan?"

    In fact, it is normal even if Guan Ying refuses angrily or even falls out.  But unexpectedly, her expression just changed at first, and then she lowered her head in thought.  He looked up and asked shortly after.

    "About 70% to 80%." In fact, Liu Bang felt that this plan was at least 90% certain, but there was no guarantee.  So I still gave a conservative estimate.

    "700% to 800%"

    Guan Ying lowered her head again, while Liu Bang nervously waited for her answer.  He knew that this request was not acceptable to ordinary people, so he also discussed yesterday that if Guan Ying was unwilling to help, then a second backup plan would be launched.

    It¡¯s just that compared to the first plan, the success rate of the second backup plan is not that high.  There are also considerable risks.

    "Sister Guan Ying, what do you think of the current situation in the world?"

    Suddenly at this moment.  A voice sounded from behind. It turned out to be Zhang Liang waking up and then walking out of a room not far away.

    I saw Zhang Liang.  Guan Ying was not too surprised. She thought about her question for a moment, gave a more general answer, and then asked, "I wonder what my sister wants to say when she asks her this?"

    ¡°Obviously Guan Ying also saw that Zhang Liang didn¡¯t ask this for no reason.  To be able to control a business family at such a young age is definitely not just about her beauty.

    "How much room does a businessman like my sister still have to survive in today's world?"

    As soon as these words came out, Guan Ying's face changed slightly, but she still showed a smile, "Sister, I also know that the world is in troubled times. But because of this, there are great business opportunities."

    Liu Bang nodded slightly on the side. Although it is a troubled time, in troubled times, apart from heroes, there are also nouveau riche!  It is not uncommon for people to make huge war fortunes since ancient times.

    "My sister does not deny this. But may I ask my sister, how do the nobles view merchants?"

    This time, Guan Ying couldn't keep the smile on her face.  Scholars, farmers, industry and commerce!  This class differential treatment is absolute!  No matter how rich a businessman is, he will always be at the bottom!  In the eyes of those nobles, merchants were a group of lowly and cunning people who smelled like copper.

    And for those wealthy merchants, sometimes they are the fat sheep in the eyes of the nobles. Maybe one day, they will suddenly be convicted of a crime, and then their homes will be confiscated and their families will be exterminated. How many such things are there?

    "Sister, I should know that even Lu Buwei's fate was not very good in the end. And sister, do you think that in such troubled times, what kind of treatment will those noble nobles take towards those businessmen?"

    Liu Bang said nothing on the side. In fact, if you think about it for a moment, you will know that war requires people, but money is even more important!  The army's food and fodder are a huge expense, and the manufacturing and maintenance of weapons and armor also require huge financial support.

    It can be said that unless they are like the group of nomads on the prairie in later generations, who feed war with war and leave no grass behind wherever they go, even a huge empire will not be able to support continuous fighting.

    At that time, those businessmen with considerable net worth will become very delicious targets in the eyes of those people.  No matter how rich a businessman is, do you dare to gather private soldiers to resist?

    cannot!

    ? ??As the leader of a family, Guan Ying certainly knows this.  She even thought about some of the previous things, and she was very clear about the stakes.

    "What does sister want to say?"

    Guan Ying had already noticed that Zhang Liang was definitely not talking to her after she was full.

    "Don't worry, sister. I just said this to let my sister understand that even if the siege of Handan City is resolved this time, there may be many other problems waiting for my sister to face in the future."

    At this point, Zhang Liang hesitated slightly, and after taking a look at Liu Bang, he finally said, "If my sister guessed correctly, my caravan and tribe must have suffered some treatment from the King of Han's group before.  "

    This time, Guan Ying's expression completely changed.  Liu Bang was also shocked, because Zhang Liang had never mentioned this to him before, and judging from the change in Guan Ying's face, even if he was not completely right, he was partly right.

    How do you know?  Guan Ying was just about to ask, but she still endured it.

    Indeed, Guan Ying learned a lot last night. Her family's caravan was led by her second uncle.  Originally, after the New Year, a batch of grain and other goods were loaded and prepared to be transported to Wei State in the north.  But unexpectedly, Handan City was suddenly surrounded, and the caravan could only stay here.

    Originally, this was nothing. In such troubled times, we had already made such preparations.  But unexpectedly, someone leaked the news about the caravan. Not long ago, a group of soldiers in Handan City surrounded the residence of the caravan, and then forcibly confiscated the food and some goods transported by their caravan.

    The ruthless group of people ignored the resistance of the caravan at all. After taking away the goods, they even punched and kicked the caravan members.  It was at that time that Guan Ying's second uncle was seriously injured.

    When she thought of these things, Guan Ying's eyes became angry and then dimmed.  Scholars, farmers, industry and commerce!  Even if a businessman has a lot of money, his status is the lowest. No one can change this.

    Guan Ying was actually somewhat mentally prepared for this kind of thing, but when it actually happened, she still found it unacceptable.  And she also knew that this would definitely not be the last time, and similar things might happen again in the future.  And do you have to endure such humiliation every time?

    Although only the goods were lost this time, even her second uncle suffered some non-fatal injuries.  But the consequences are not only loss of money, but also dignity!

    "What do you want to explain with these words, sister?"

    "If my sister doesn't dislike it, our Surabaya County welcomes people like her to come. I can't guarantee anything else, but as long as it is within the control of our German army, that kind of thing will never happen. Of course, my sister may not believe it, but every time  I can guarantee that my sister will never regret this choice in the future."

    Liu Bang glanced at Zhang Liang with strange eyes. He didn't expect that Zhang Liang actually wanted to poach Guan Ying and her family.  Of course, he would not object to this matter.

    His power needs to develop, which requires more territory, population, troops, and even all kinds of people!  And coming from the future, he also knows that although businessmen have a low status in this era, they will have a high status in the future. In some capitalist countries, businessmen even secretly influence the trend of the country.

    And the influence that merchants bring to a force or even a country is absolutely huge.  But most importantly, Liu Bang felt that Guan Ying was a talented person and it would definitely be a good thing if she could join him.  Of course, Guan Ying is a beauty and so on Well, cough!

    Guan Ying's expression changed continuously, and it could be seen that there was a war between heaven and man in her heart at this moment.  After all, this is not a small matter. Even if Guan Ying is the leader of the clan, she will not agree to it easily.

    "The slave family can agree! But there is one requirement!"

    When Liu Bang thought there was little hope, Guan Ying suddenly raised her head and spoke. There was no hesitation in her eyes, only determination.

    "any request?"

    "In the future, all places, all trading houses and caravans in the area controlled by Pei Gong will be controlled by the slave family's trading houses!"

    Hiss!  This woman has such a big appetite!  You actually want a monopoly?  Although there may not be such a statement in this era, there is no doubt that this woman is making such a plan.  Even if she only seems to have a rough plan now, maybe in the future, if Liu Bang can ascend to the top of the Ninth Five-Year Plan, then she, Guan Ying, might become the financial queen of the entire Central Plains!

    Zhang Liang looked at Liu Bang. Although it was her suggestion, she knew that Liu Bang would ultimately need to make the decision.  Of course, even though she knew about astronomy and geography, she was not completely proficient in this aspect, so she didn't think as much as Liu Bang thought.

    &nbspGuan Ying was also looking at Liu Bang, with a hint of expectation flashing in her eyes.

    promise?  Or refuse?

    Liu Bang looked at the woman in front of him. He knew that once he nodded, maybe as his power expanded in the future, Guan Ying would become a behemoth and a great businessman, or even another Lu Buwei. No one could say.  .

    Once he agrees, he will face a potentially huge threat.  Similarly, Guan Ying now also needs to take huge risks.

    "Okay! I promise!"
