Chapter 82 Rhetorical Questions

Some people pursue wealth and comfort, but the higher they go, the more they want to be able to control their own destiny, because they will find that when they cannot truly control their own destiny, the wealth and comfort they are now will be lost at any time.

A wealthy businessman in Changling City may only need the heart of a big man and become a nameless person.

Su Qin looked at the body of the Tse people and felt that he was better than the Tse people because he could only live for himself.

...

In Yongfu County, Jiaodong County, a tragic battle has ended.… Novel: The remnants of the Chu army and the troops of the Nanquan counties, as well as various reinforcements from the territory of the Chu Dynasty annihilated the main force of the Zheng family of Jiaodong County.

After a long journey, the remnants of the Chu army were finally able to stop temporarily and get enough breathing time.

After picking up the sword of his companion who died in battle, an old Chu army turned around and looked back at Chu. With this glance, he fell down and never got up again.

Such scenes are more than one place on the battlefield where the battle has ended.

Many people suddenly fell to the ground after the battle, but they all faced their hometown.

They were already overworked and their bodies had already exceeded their limits. After finally reaching a stable place and completing the mission of protecting their companions around them, they relaxed in one breath but could no longer support them.

The granary in the city was burning with fire. In the final stage of the battle, the army of the Zheng family, who knew that they could no longer defeat, burned the food and grass.

It was just one hour after the battle, and a fleet of ships was already docked at Yongfu Port, and a large amount of food and grass were transported to the ashore.

Some Chu generals were shocked and speechless.

They knew that these food and grass were not from their own arrangements, but were related to a mysterious figure related to the Bashan Sword Field, but these food and grass all came from Chu. Who is able to prepare so many food and grass early in Chu and deliver it here at such a fast speed?

...

"What kind of person can make the wealthy people in Guanzhong put their money in his hands with confidence?"

While those generals of Chu were thinking about the issue of food and grass, Mr. Li was thinking about this issue.

He was riding a carriage into Chongyun Town.

Chongyun Town is one of the few ancient towns in the Great Qin Dynasty. It is located on the Wushan side of the Qin-Chu border. It is obviously very close to the battlefield, but because the road is too difficult to move, it cannot become a place for the army to pass through, but it avoids all the wars that have appeared in this area in history.

Chongyun Town has become one of the gathering places for caravans, but it is also because the road is difficult to move.

In the mountainous areas where roads are difficult to travel, there are also many hunters and herdsmen. These areas have sparse populations, but they are rich in production. Some ordinary goods outside, such as rice, grain, tea, etc., can be transported to these areas by manpower, and can be rewarded and can be exchanged for amazingly valuable fur, elixir and other substances.

The difficulty of walking on the road can only rely on foot strength or mules and horses. After walking for a long time, you must prepare a lot of supplies and there must be many such horse caravans shuttle back and forth. Many years ago, Chongyun Town became lively.

However, the surrounding area of ​​Chongyun Town is still barren, and the ordinary materials transported by these caravans cannot attract the attention of the court. What's more, although they can obtain more than a hundred times the profit, the amount used for exchange is not large, and it is not worth the court's consideration.

The core area of ​​Guanzhong is far away from this Chongyun Town, and no one will associate Guanzhong's wealth with such a remote place.

However, who would have thought that the third young master Guan, who managed most of the wealth for these Guanzhong wealthy families, would have lived in such a place for a long time.

Wealth is often associated with fine wine, mansions, beauties, and extravagant life. But what else is there in this place besides the barbaric remnants of the horse gangs?

"What's the place worth staying here for a long time?"

So when the carriage was parked in front of an ordinary stilt house, Li Hou walked out of the carriage, walked into the stilt house, and looked at the two people in front of him, he couldn't help but ask such a question directly at the beginning.

In front of him was a middle-aged man and an old servant.

The middle-aged man is calm and is cooking tea.

The iron kettle is cooked with black tea. The tea is very dark in color, but it has a unique fragrance.

"Do you know who I am?"

Looking at the absolutely uninvited guest of Mr. Li, the middle-aged man did not look much surprised, but just asked with a smile.

"I'm not asking you, I'm asking him."

However, Marquis Li also laughed, and his eyes fell on the old servant behind the middle-aged man.

The old servant was wearing an old robe with patches. The old robe had been washed white and could not tell the color of the past.

He had been lowering his head slightly, always looking humble, and he only raised his head until Li Hou said this.

"How do you know it's me?"

The old servant also asked back. His face was very ordinary, and he seemed to have experienced a lot of wind and frost, living a difficult life without any signs of being pampered.

"A real tiger, even if it lies in the weakest position, it can make people see that it is a tiger at a glance." Li Hou smiled and said.

The old servant was silent for a moment, then looked at Li Hou and said, "Only those who are like this are also people, and only those who have seen many such people can recognize the difference at a glance. Which prince are you in the Qin Dynasty?"

Mr. Li was a little surprised and said in a slight surprise: "There are only a few princes in the Qin Dynasty. Since you have guessed that I am one of them, can't you still judge?"

The old servant smiled and sighed: "I haven't been concerned about the world for many years, but I don't know much about the outside world."

Mr. Li's eyes suddenly became sharp, "Don't you know much about the outside world, so you should know your identity, Guan San Gongzi?"

The old servant's appearance still did not change. He shook his head in response to the gaze of Mr. Li, "I can be the third master Guan, or I can't be the third master Guan."

At this time, the middle-aged man sitting in front of him cooking tea had already stood up, but instead stood behind the old man.

The old man sat down, and Li Hou sat down opposite him.

"I don't quite understand the meaning of this sentence." Li Hou asked after taking the teacup brought by the old servant.

"I am just a manager. I can't master anything. As long as the client is willing, they can change anyone to the third son of Guan at any time." The old man smiled slightly and said, "You should understand that any coins or silver notes are actually symbols that have no value."

Li Hou frowned.

The old man looked at him and then said calmly: "The wealth of the Great Qin Dynasty is in the hands of the rich people in Guanzhong, so the rich people in Guanzhong cannot fall... You should understand that even if they plunder all the money they have now, if they do not recognize the coins in circulation now, then the coins of this dynasty will lose any value, and they may not be able to exchange for anything in the market."

"What you said makes sense, there is indeed such a possibility." Li Hou also looked at him calmly and said, "But the key is that no one has the determination to burn together. As long as some of the key figures are solved, things may be solved."
