In the past few years, Li San had quietly monopolized the country's grain business. Therefore. 1357924?
No matter who it was, no matter who his real master was, he would not go against Li San, nor would he give Li San any face.
Because of Jiujiu's guidance, Li San also had a discerning eye and directly recognized the general who would be the king in the future. He secretly befriended the general and gave him better grain than the others, and the price was much cheaper.
Naturally, no one would refuse money. Moreover, Li San was such a big businessman, and the money under his hands was simply as rich as a country. Moreover, now that the other party took the initiative to show goodwill, the general absolutely had no reason to refuse.
Therefore.
Li San and the Great General quickly became friends.
The general was extremely admiring of Li San's business that started from nothing and developed from Bianzhou.
What kind of place was Bianzhou? It was a place where criminals were exiled. It was recognized as the most barren land. It was really not easy for Li San to develop such a business from Bianzhou.
And Li San was extremely admiring of the general's upright and plainspoken nature and the attribute of loving the people as his own children. After a few exchanges, the two became sworn brothers.
Because the soldiers in the general's hands were all from the army, the military law was strict, and they did not take a needle or a piece of thread from the people, and their skills were excellent. Soon, they stood out from a group of insurgent troops and became the main force of the country.
Soon, they subdued all the scattered troops and became the head of the rebel army, and began to attack the city.
When he ascended the throne, the Fifth Prince was not the Emperor's intended heir, but because the Emperor's children were weak and there was no son to inherit the throne, he had no choice but to choose the Fifth Prince, who was still alive, to be the new Emperor.
This was a choice made as a last resort. If Wu Huangzi was content to guard the country, he would naturally be rich for a lifetime, but the problem was that the Fifth Prince courted death.
He was licentious and tyrannical, beating and scolding his subordinates. He liked to listen to good words and didn't like to hear opposing voices. Now, he only had a few trash who only knew how to flatter him. When the army came, there wasn't a single person who could go to the battlefield.
Even his newly conferred general was a trash. He fainted at the sight of blood. He was simply an idiot.
Therefore, when the Great General captured the new Emperor, he didn't spend any effort at all.
Like an eagle catching a chick, it was as easy as catching an eagle.
Because he had been the Emperor for a long time, he could bully and kill people as he pleased. As the saying goes, people are fish on the chopping block, and I hold the knife in my hand.
But now, he had become human meat and the other person had become a knife. The new emperor was instantly dumbfounded. He was so frightened that he peed his pants. The stench was extremely disgusting.
The Great General had lived an iron-blooded life. He had thought that he would die on the battlefield, but who would have thought that he would become the new Emperor? As the saying goes, you don't know what you are going to face until the next second.
Wasn't this sentence a true portrayal of him?
The Great General ascended the throne and became the new Emperor with the support of the crowd. Then, he began to reward the people according to their merits.
After conferring titles to all the brothers who had fought alongside him, he directly conferred the title of Sage King to Li San and bestowed him with the Death-Exemption Elixir Sword.
This time, everyone was dumbfounded.
How could a person who had never fought bravely on the frontlines receive such great glory?
However, after hearing what Li San had done, they all fell silent.
A man who had monopolized the economic lifeline of the country, a man who had always supported them in their fight for the country. No wonder they said that there had never been a shortage of food. It was all because of this man.
Moreover, they had just gone through a great battle and were covered in wounds. It was time for them to rest and recuperate. They could not afford another storm. Therefore, the matter of the Grand General conferring the title of Li San was settled.
Because now that the Fifth Prince had been arrested, under Li San's instructions, the Great General had rehabilitated Jiujiu's father. Jiujiu was no longer the daughter of a guilty official. The group of people began to go to the capital.
And the current Jiujiu, after the precipitation of time, had become more and more beautiful. Especially those watery eyes of hers, misty and watery, it was needless to say how seductive they were.
Li San, on the other hand, was no longer as unstable and hot-tempered as before. Instead, he was like an aged wine that became more and more fragrant as time went by. Moreover, because he had money in his hands, his clothes became more and more tasteful under Jiujiu's guidance. He no longer looked like a bumpkin in the past. He was simply a walking stylish man.
And after all these years, Li San's brothers naturally had nothing to say about Jiujiu.
Although Jiujiu was jealous and didn't allow Li San to marry a concubine, she did have her outstanding ability. Her ability to judge people and see things was far from their compare.
Moreover, if it wasn't for Jiujiu's suggestion to buy food back then, who knew where they would be now.
Although it was possible to join the army, but was it really so easy to earn military merits?
Maybe in the end, they could only die on the battlefield and return to their hometown.
How could they be as carefree as they were now with their wives and children on the kang bed?
The general was grateful for Li San's kindness in the past, so he directly gave the largest mansion in the capital to Li San. And naturally, the mansion of the Minister of Revenue that originally belonged to Jiujiu's family was also returned.
Although Ma Er and the others didn't have any military merits, they had money. They also bought houses and settled in the capital together.
On the third day in the capital, the general held a banquet for the officials.
And Li San was naturally among them.
The general wanted to avoid suspicion. After all, now that he had unified the country, it was naturally not good to be extravagant and indulge in debauchery. So, to outsiders, it was called a family banquet. The emperor and his ministers were a family and enjoyed together with the people.
Because it was a family banquet, naturally, they could bring their family members. And Jiujiu thought that it was at this banquet that Princess Royal took a fancy to Li San, so it was better to prevent trouble before it happened. Naturally, Jiujiu wanted to prevent it and declare her sovereignty. This man was hers, and no one could snatch him from her. Otherwise, she would kill the other party.
Moreover, Jiujiu also thought of the original Princess Royal's somewhat distorted worldview. Because Li San liked her, she let people kill the original Jiujiu.
As long as she liked it, it must be hers.
Now that he had appeared, would this Princess Royal fall in love with Li San like before? If she fell in love with Li San, then it meant that his values were not right. It was perfectly justifiable for him to take care of her.
After a long time of tempering, Jiujiu's taste was naturally different. Moreover, in her life with Murong Zhao, she had seen all kinds of beautiful and interesting things. Even if it was a wooden hairpin, those exquisite craftsmen could make flowers on it. And.
