Chapter 206: Hiding the Dirt

"Villain Huo Tianliang, knock on meeting the Prime Minister" He knocked his head several times, and the person raised his head and looked at Ye Tiannan.

"Huo Tianliang?" Ye Tiannan frowned slightly. The name seemed very familiar, as if he had heard it mentioned by someone, but he couldn't remember it for a while.

"Tiannan, speaking of it, this person and his wife are fellow villagers, and this person is also from Fufeng!" Xun Xiu said with a smile

"Huo Tianliang!" Ye Tiannan yelled angrily. When Xun Xiu said this, he immediately remembered who this person was. While chatting with his wife, he heard his wife talk about the hardships of the three of them in Fufeng for the past ten years. , then mentioned this Huo Tianliang, his daughter had been bullied a lot by this person, if Gao Yuan hadn't been protecting her, his daughter would have been gone long ago. He glared at Huo Tianliang, gritted his teeth and said: "How dare you dare to come to your door"

Seeing Ye Tiannan's fury of thunder, Huo Tianliang was so frightened that he collapsed to the ground.

"Drag me out and beat me to death!" Ye Tiannan shouted angrily

"My lord, please spare my life, my lord, please help me, Mr. Xun!" Huo Tianliang shouted hoarsely

As soon as the guards swarmed in, Xun Xiu turned around and waved his hands at the guards, signaling them to slow down

"Tiannan, do you think this person looks like a dog?" Xun Xiu asked with a smile

Ye Tiannan was stunned, seeing Huo Tianliang lying on the ground trembling all over, he couldn't help laughing, "It really does look like that."

"It's just a dog, what's the use of killing it?" Xun Xiu said with a smile, "What's more, this person may be of great use!"

"A person like this is of no use to me, sir, my Ye Mansion is not a place to hide filth.

"Go down!" Xun Xiu turned around and drove the guards out. "In Tiannan, when the water is clear, there will be no fish, and if people observe it, there will be no disciples. If the Ye family wants to develop greatly, it is natural to recruit more talented people, but some thieves are not completely useless!" It is only reasonable for people to give full play to their talents!"

"What's the use of such a person?" Ye Tiannan shook his head repeatedly, "I used to be nothing more than a playboy, but now my spine has been broken."

"No, on the contrary, this person is very useful. And he is very useful to our current Ye family!" Xun Xiu looked at Ye Tiannan and said in a low voice

"Huh?" Ye Tiannan was extremely surprised.

"Huo Tianliang, the son of Huo Zhu,

Tian Nan, do you know what Huo Zhu used to do? "

"Listen to Madam. That Huo Zhu was the former postal supervisor of Fufeng?"

"This is only on the surface, this person is actually responsible for the entire task of the Linghu family smuggling salt and iron to Donghu." Looking at Ye Tiannan, Xun Xiudao

Ye Tiannan looked at Xun Xiu, and slowly raised a pair of sword-shaped eyebrows, which grew higher and higher, with an angry look on his face, "Sir, Donghu is the enemy of my Yan, and I, Ye Tiannan, will definitely not be able to do it no need to mention"

Xun Xiu didn't back down because of Ye Tiannan's anger. "If you don't do it, someone else will do it"

"In Dayan, whoever dares to do this, I will raid his home and destroy his family," he said. His eyes suddenly turned to Huo Tianliang who was still kneeling and trembling on the ground, "So that's the case, but this person cannot be kept. If I drive him out, someone will definitely take him in. This person is Huo Zhu's son, so he must know about Huo Zhu's old age. The smuggling channel, if you keep it, it will be a disaster."

When Huo Tianliang heard this, he immediately collapsed on the ground again, his face was dripping with sweat, and his eyes just looked at Xun Xiu beggingly. Whether he could save his life, he could only see if Xun Xiu could persuade Ye Tiannan. up

"What if you're not in the country of Yan?" Xun Xiu said softly

Ye Tiannan was stunned, "Donghu is adjacent to my Dayan, but not to other countries in the Central Plains. As long as my Dayan does not trade salt and iron with him, how can other countries bypass us?"

"Tiannan." Xun Xiu pulled Ye Tiannan, "You forgot that there are Huns?"

Ye Tiannan laughed, "Where did the Huns get their salt and iron? They are still short of it!"

"The Xiongnu borders Zhao and connects with Donghu." Xun Xiu said: "If we don't do it, the people of Donghu will cut off this line, and they will definitely try their best to find other sources of goods. Zhao is now our enemy, and we are against Zhao." Turn your face, Donghu people are our enemies on the border, how can Zhao Guo not seize this opportunity? If we do it, we can also control the amount of salt and iron imported into Donghu. If Zhao people do it, it will be impossible to control If this is the case, why don’t we do it? With the country, we have no shame in our hearts, and with ourselves, we can also reap a lot of wealth.”

"The Zhao Kingdom and the Xiongnu are about to fight now?" Hearing Xun Xiu's words, Ye Tiannan pondered.

Xun Xiu chuckled, "Tiannan, you are upset. A war is a war, and a business is a business. Could it be that if the Xiongnu and Zhao Guoda fight, there will be no trade between them? There is no such thing on the surface. Is there no one in private? What's more, will this battle continue? There will always be a day when the Huns fight, but they don't have the long-term Zhao people to ride and shoot in Hufu. Where do they come from so many horses? Are they raised by themselves? Of course not, they got them from the Huns."

Ye Tiannan sat on the chair slumped, "Although what you said makes sense, but thinking about how this kind of behavior is no different from being an enemy, I really feel very uncomfortable."

"Tiannan, everything is not black and white. For some things, if you look at them from another angle, it will be another vast sky! The relationship between countries has never been purely the relationship between enemies and friends. Like Qi Guo, who used to be our friend, they helped us achieve great things, but then we have to cater to Qi Guo in everything? Wrong, we will only do what is beneficial to us. As for Qi Guo helping us , They have already got their rewards, because we have torn up the covenant with Zhao Guo, contained Zhao Guo, and eased Zhao Guo's pressure on them, and after we fought this battle with Zhao Guo, it was another It's been a long time," Xun Xiu said slowly

"I understand this truth," Ye Tiannan said.

"You categorically rejected Qi State's desire to marry their princess to the king as his wife, and instead proposed to marry the princess of Chu State for the king. This matter is very good, but in the case of the Donghu people, why is it so? What about rejection?" Xun Xiu smiled and said, "We can ask the Donghu people to pay with war horses. They need salt and iron, and we need war horses. Everyone gets what they need. In the past, Linghu Chao was stupid and only knew that he wanted gold. Silver jewels, but I don’t know that war horses are more valuable. We get war horses, whether it is to strengthen Ye’s private army, or sell them to the court, we can make more profits. As for you, do you think the two families will fight in the future?” Xun Xiu He laughed, "Could it be that if we sold salt and iron to Donghu, we wouldn't be able to win? In the same way, if Donghu people sold us horses, would they think that our cavalry would be stronger than theirs?"

Ye Tiannan took a deep breath, "I understand, thank you sir for your teaching!"

Xun Xiu smiled and said: "You have long understood that you are just a little psychologically resistant, Tian Nan, only if you pass this hurdle will you become a truly excellent prime minister."

Ye Tiannan turned his head to look at Huo Tianliang on the ground, with a strong look of disgust still on his face, "However, I'm a little worried about entrusting such a big matter to such a person."

"This person is not bad, it's just that he has a grievance with the lady and his wife, so he can't help but feel a little scared." Xun Xiu smiled and said to Huo Tianliang who was on the ground: "You go out first, the prime minister doesn't care about villains. The grievances and grievances will be written off, and you will work hard for the Prime Minister in the future, and make atonement. The Prime Minister is not Linghu Chao, and he will never let you die."

Huo Tianliang wiped the cold sweat off his forehead, knowing that this life was taken back, he knelt on the ground and kowtowed three times to Ye Tiannan, "Thank you, Mr. Prime Minister, from now on Huo Tianliang will be a cow and a horse for the Prime Minister, and in the future Repay kindness"

"Go out and wait below, the Prime Minister will ask you later." Xun Xiu waved his hand

"Yes, yes!" Huo Tianliang got up and left the room

"Sir, do you trust such a person so much?" Ye Tiannan looked at Xun Xiu, really surprised

"This person is not as useless as you see!" Xun Xiu said with a smile: "The Huo family was wiped out, and he was the only one who escaped. In order to save his life, this person destroyed his face. Under the influence of the Linghu family, he was able to escape all the way to Jicheng, the old den of Linghu Chao, which is the old den of Linghu Chao. It can be seen that this person still has some courage. A person has encountered such a big change, and his temperament has changed so much. It is inevitable, either give up on yourself, or strive for self-improvement, how do you think I found him?"

"Just want to ask sir"

"He came to the door by himself." Xun Xiu said with a smile: "Obviously he has a lot of grudges with the madam, but he dared to come to the door. He didn't look for anyone else, but only me. Just because of his courage, I admire him." "

Ye Tiannan laughed loudly, "If he finds someone else, I'm afraid he will lose his life on the spot, and only Mr. will listen to him to the end. Speaking of it this way, this person is really interesting."

"He also brought another meeting gift!" Xun Xiu said with a smile, "That is Linghu Chao's account of smuggling salt and iron over the years, and it will be published to the public. The tide is justified and well-founded, it is to eliminate harm for the country, and it is justified."

Ye Tiannan smiled wryly upon hearing this, "But in the future, I will become the biggest moth in this country!"

"The winner is the king, and the loser is the bandit. If the Linghu family does not fall, how can these things see the light of day, and vice versa, if the Ye family does not fall, you will always be the great sage of the country." Xun Xiu laughed and said, "Huo Zhu Although he is dead and the Linghu Clan has been wiped out by us, the lower-level networks under Huo Zhu's control are still there. As long as the networks are there, it will not be difficult to reconnect them."

"Sir, let's handle this matter, I won't ask questions!" Ye Tiannan said with a smile

"That's great!" Xun Xiu nodded repeatedly, very satisfied with Ye Tiannan's answer
