There are no eternal enemies and no eternal friends in the world.
Everything is based on interests.
Or a win-win situation.
Or you eat me and I eat you.
Li Zhen is like a shepherd dog roaming the world's prairie, and everyone is a sheep in his eyes. He is responsible for driving this group of sheep back and forth, when to drive them to the slaughterhouse, and when to drive them out to graze. This is all an operation at the palm of his hand.
"He agreed?"
On the way back, Ding Zhenzhen asked uncertainly.
Li Zhen nodded: "There is no reason to disagree."
"Are you willing to sell ten tons of gold?" Jia Liping asked nervously.
No one cares about gold now more than Jia Liping. After listening to Li Zhen's words, Jia Liping deeply realized the importance of gold. This is almost a hard currency in the world that will never depreciate and never have an economic bubble.
"Unite the seven companies and prepare 500 million. The money will be shared equally by the seven companies, and the Kyushu Academy of Sciences will hold 10% of the shares."
"Well, that's no problem."
Being the lead person in charge of the Ten Thousand Years Consortium naturally has benefits. Although the Kyushu Academy of Sciences joined the association naked, this consortium was established under the leadership of the Kyushu Academy of Sciences. It has an absolute dominant position, and the seven companies will never complain. Because compared to the money that will be earned, the dividend is just a small profit.
Li Zhen asked with some uncertainty: "Can they get so much money now?"
Jia Liping kept talking: "I can definitely take it out, but... is there any way to discuss with Emperor Jiang about paying it in installments?"
Li Zhen laughed loudly: "Are you looking for money?"
Jia Liping chuckled and said: "The currency of Kyushu is almost devalued. If we pay in installments, we can save a lot of money."
Li Zhen shook his head: "Forget it. We've almost opened the money store to Xinyuan Country. Leave them a pair of underwear to wear."
Jia Liping asked curiously: "Master Li sympathizes with them?"
"That's right. Don't squeeze it too hard."
Jia Liping laughed and said: "Master Li, capital does not pay attention to human relationships. Capital wants to exploit, and exploit to the maximum extent possible when it can be exploited. This is the kingly way. You are too merciful."
Li Zhen was stunned and took a deep look at Jia Liping, feeling a little worried. Has the student he brought out been completely integrated into the capital
Is this a good phenomenon or a bad phenomenon
After hesitating for a long time, Li Zhen said this to Jia Liping with deep meaning: "Capital is capital, but in the world of capital, one must not destroy human nature. When doing ruthless things, one must have compassion in one's heart." When you commit heinous evil, you must leave a piece of pure land in your heart."
"Why. Doing things to the best of your ability should be the kingly way."
"A little human touch is forever."
“…”
On the way back, when they passed a canyon ahead, a commotion suddenly broke out.
Everyone in the entire convoy became nervous.
"Protect Master Li!"
"Everyone come around and protect Master Li!"
“…”
Immediately, soldiers and dead soldiers gathered like a tide towards the steam car Li Zhen was riding on, surrounding the steam car and looking around vigilantly.
Li Zhen walked out: "What happened?"
"Master Li, get back to the car quickly."
"I asked you what's wrong?"
"More than a thousand Imperial Imperial Guards appeared in front."
Li Zhenyi raised his eyebrows: "Oh? Imperial Imperial Guards? Are you here to kill me?"
There was chaos in the front for a while, but then it became quiet again. A soldier on a fast horse was seen running from the front to the steam car: "Dean Li, there are more than a thousand Imperial Imperial Guards in front, fully armed and holding an imperial edict in their hands. The leader is The man’s name is Wang Yuanxiang, and he said he has an old relationship with Dean Li.”
"Wang Yuanxiang."
Li Zhen muttered and suddenly thought about it. Isn't this the same person who escorted him all the way to Zhongzhou when he was admitted to the top exam
"Let him come to me."
"yes!"
"No, Master Li!"
"No, we can't see you!"
"This person may have malicious intentions."
"Master Li, the imperial court hates us so much now. He should be a soldier sent by the imperial court to die."
“…”
Li Zhen raised his head and stopped everyone from talking: "Go. Do as I say."
"yes!"
The soldier immediately ran forward on horseback.
The people around could only sigh and constantly warn the surrounding soldiers to take more precautions.
Today, Li Zhen is different from the past. His safety is related to the capital operation of the entire Dongzhou, and he is the spiritual leader of the entire Dongzhou.
There were many different forces among those who protected him, including the regular naval forces of Qingdao County, the garrison of Laoshan County, the government officials of Dongzhou Prefecture, the heavy cavalry of the Dongzhou Army, and the private individuals of members of the consortium. armed forces.
There are many people who protect him. Li Zhen's security measures are definitely better than those of Emperor Xun of the imperial court.
A moment later, a shirtless man wearing only a pair of shorts and disheveled hair was escorted over by nearby soldiers with firecrackers pointed at them.
Li Zhen was not surprised that people who came to see him would be stripped naked and interrogated, and some people would be afraid that there was a bomb hidden on him. Therefore, the inspection is very strict, and it is easiest to take off the clothes.
Li Zhen laughed loudly: "What happened to Brother Wang?"
Wang Yuanxiang smiled bitterly: "It's really difficult to see you. I have to take off my clothes to see you. Alas, I am very sad. Two years ago, you were just a weak boy who went to Beijing to meet the saint, but was bullied by the unruly people. Today is different from the past. When I see you again, you will be wearing a dragon robe."
Li Zhen smiled and jumped off the carriage. He was immediately stopped by everyone: "Dean Li is not allowed to approach."
Li Zhen waved his hand: "It's okay."
After pushing through the crowd, he walked towards Wang Yuanxiang, took a coat from the people around him and put it on him: "I will only be a little dean, there is no need to add a dragon robe to me."
Wang Yuanxiang laughed and said: "Thankfully, the imperial court sent me to Dongzhou to capture you alive, and to behead everyone in the Kyushu Academy of Sciences in public."
'Wow—'
As soon as these words came out, everyone around them started to commotion.
The weapons kept making noise, and they were all pointed at Wang Yuanxiang nervously and seriously.
Li Zhen smiled and said, "Why don't you kill me again?"
Wang Yuanxiang sighed: "Not to mention whether I will hurt you. Haha, the court really thought too much. The emperor really thought that the imperial army was out, and the officials along the way gave way. As everyone knows, this country is no longer the Xun family's country. We are the forbidden army of the imperial court. As a result, we don’t even dare to enter the territory of Dongzhou. Dongzhou has not declared its own country, but it seems to have become its own country like Beizhou. Who is the garrison in Dongzhou? Do you still recognize the imperial court?"
"Those like us wearing armor will be killed by groups of men in black before we enter Qingdao County, let alone Laoshan. Hahaha."
Li Zhen also smiled and said: "Wouldn't it be better to take off your armor and come to Laoshan to find me as a friend?"
Wang Yuanxiang glared: "How can that be done?"
"Why can't it be done?"
"I rebelled and came to join you. If I take off my armor, it will be worthless. Hahaha." Wang Yuanxiang said with a naive smile.
Li Zhen smiled.
