"My plan is a four-step process. ”

"The first step is to pour silver. ”

"The second step, one peach kills two soldiers. ”

"The third step is to drive the tiger and devour the wolf. ”

"The fourth step is to go against the sky. ”

"As long as these four steps are completed, not only will Rift Valley be safe and sound, but it will also be able to take back the Leaf Collar. ”

When everyone heard these four steps, they still felt that they were in the clouds. I feel that there is no solution to the crisis in front of me, and there is even no way out.

Yun Zhonghe smiled: "You think that the crisis is unsolvable, just because of one reason, you want to defend. You want to get through the crisis, you always want to keep the silver salt well. ”

Leng Bi said: "Isn't this normal? The Silver Salt Well is the core lifeblood of our Rift Valley, with an annual income of as low as 400,000 taels and as high as 500,000 taels, accounting for about fifty or sixty percent of the income of the entire Rift Valley, of course we want to keep the Silver Salt Well." ”

The crane in the clouds couldn't help but smack his tongue.

The silver salt field is really huge, with an annual income of more than four or five hundred thousand taels?

Although the price of salt is very high in this world, when the market is good, the exit price will not exceed six cents. When the market is bad, it's only three dollars a pound.

One tael of silver is exchanged for about 1,000 wen, and the annual income is 500,000 taels, so wouldn't it be necessary to produce tens of thousands of tons of salt?

Of course, this is nothing for modern salt farms, hundreds of thousands of tons and millions of tons of salt works abound every year.

But in this era, a salt pan of this size is quite impressive.

According to Leng Bi, Rift Valley earns nearly one million taels of silver every year, which is really rich for a princely land with a population of 400,000.

But whether it is Jing Er or Jing Zhongyue, they are the masters of the loser.

Look at the luxury of Jing Zhongyue's life, and then look at how many troops the Rift Valley raises? This income of nearly one million taels of silver is estimated to be very little left every year.

But in a word, the silver salt well is the economic lifeblood of the Rift Valley.

Once the Silver Salt Well is lost, Rift Valley will lose most of its financial resources, and it will basically be directly destroyed.

Yun Zhonghe said: "Let's deduce, what will happen next?"

"First of all, we have to face a huge amount of reparations, the current figure is nearly 2,000 dead, and this number will continue to rise. And the people who died were not only the workers of Yanjing, but also the officials of the alliance of princes, merchants, merchants of the Great Win Empire, the Southern Zhou Empire, and the Western Liang Kingdom. The pensions of the salt workers will not be very high, but the compensation of those merchants and officials will be very staggering. ”

"So this indemnity may exceed 1.5 million taels of silver. ”

Jing Zhongyue's beautiful face twitched slightly, and she had calculated it in her heart, even more accurate than the number calculated by the crane in the clouds.

Yun Zhonghe guessed correctly, she is a loser's wife, although Rift Valley is rich, but there is really not much money left every year.

"We have to lose more than this amount of money, the salt we produce is mixed with poisonous salt and eats the dead. Of course, this was done by the Mo family in collusion with the ghosts, although the poisonous salt was not much different from table salt in appearance. But there are already clues in the report, and twice. The dog inspecting the salt mine died violently and inexplicably, and the death was strange, so we have to guess whether it was poisoned by mistake. Our people from the Jinyi Division have found out, but they haven't paid enough attention, and Chu Zhaoran has to bear an unshirkable responsibility for this. ”

At this time, the crane in the clouds did not forget Yin Chu Zhaoran.

"What will happen if our salt eats the dead? Not only the salt from the Baiyin Salt Well, but also the salt from the Lantian Salt Farm cannot be sold. ”

As mentioned before, Rift Valley lacks arable land, cannot be self-sufficient in food, and makes a fortune entirely by selling salt.

Therefore, the entire Rift Valley relies on two core territories, one is the silver collar and the other is the Lantian collar, both of which are large salt producers.

The salt produced in Rift Valley has eaten the dead, so people must be panicking, how can any salt merchant dare to buy the salt produced by the Jing family?

"So for a long time, we couldn't sell a grain of salt in Rift Valley. Even the salt that has been sold will be returned, and the money that has been received will be returned, and even compensation will be paid, which is another large amount of silver. ”

"According to conservative estimates, the sum of the two indemnities should exceed 1.8 million taels. And for a long time, our financial resources will be cut off. ”

"Lord, do we have so much money in our treasury?" asked Yun Zhonghe.

Jing Zhongyue said very bluntly: "No." ”

The crane in the cloud said: "Is it much worse?"

Jing Zhongyue said: "Yes, it's a lot worse." ”

The crane in the clouds was stunned, with an annual income of nearly one million taels, you don't even have an inventory of 1.8 million taels.

You father and daughter are really losers.

Yun Zhonghe said: "Our first step is to raise about 1.8 million taels of silver in the shortest possible time to compensate for the silver tragedy, and we will get this money within two months." ”

Leng Bi said: "This point is as difficult as the sky. ”

Jing Zhongyue said: "Within two months, it is impossible to get this silver, and at this time, no one is willing to borrow it." So...... I'm not going to lose this money, so why should I accompany me?"

Crane in the clouds stunned?

My moon, so you can say it so justifiably? I don't have any money, I just won't pay it.

Is your beautiful face so thick? You have a small face at best.

"No, my lord, I have to pay for it. Yun Zhonghe said: "This money must be lost, otherwise the next plan will not be easy to implement, and this silver is not worth mentioning to our target at all." ”

Jing Zhongyue said: "Aotian, I don't care about money. But I really can't take out this money, let alone take it out in a short time. ”

Yun Zhonghe said: "Then how much money is missing, I will pay it." ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked.

Mr. Yun Aotian, may I ask if all the silver on your body adds up, is it more than ten taels?

Leng Bi said: "Yun Aotian, how much silver do you have on you?"

Yun Zhonghe dug out his pocket, and finally turned out three pennies, which was about enough to buy five buns.

In terms of bragging, you are still bullish, and if you have three pennies in your mouth, you dare to brag about a million taels of silver.

A million taels of silver, that's a billion dollars.

Jing Zhongyue said: "Okay, let's count it as two months for the time being, and we can raise nearly two million taels of silver to pay this compensation." ”

When he said this, Jing Zhongyue's beautiful little mouth took a breath of cool air.

It can be seen that she has almost no hope for this matter, and she absolutely cannot believe that Yun Zhonghe can earn an astronomical amount of silver in two months. (Rest assured, no mirrors or glass)

"What's next?" asked Jing Zhongyue.

Yun Zhonghe said: "Even if we lose this money, the Princes' Alliance Assembly will directly send troops to settle in the Silver Domain, or even in the Lantian Territory, in the name of investigation, and directly control the core of our lifeline." And then unprecedented sanctions were imposed on us, a blockade and food shortages. ”

Leng Bi said: "Things have developed to this point, and our Rift Valley is finished. Nearly two million taels of silver were lost, not a single grain of salt could be sold, the two core territories were occupied, and the people of the territory were starved of food. The army collapsed, the people collapsed, and the century-old foundation of Rift Valley was directly wiped out. ”

That's right, it does.

Once the army of the alliance of princes forcibly stationed in the Silver Collar and the Lantian Domain, and blockaded and sanctioned, Rift Valley will be completely finished.

"So, the situation must not develop to this point. The crane in the cloud said: "You must stop it." ”

Leng Bi said: "In order to occupy the Fallen Leaf Collar, the Mo family will definitely let the situation develop to this point, completely dismember our Split Wind Valley, and destroy the Jing family." ”

Yun Zhonghe said: "According to your ideas, how do you want to stop it?"

Leng Bi said: "Send troops and start a war." ”

Yun Zhonghe said: "With the soldiers of our family, against the coalition of more than a dozen princes? ”

Leng Bi said: "Then what do you say?"

The crane in the cloud said: "It's very simple! Throw the silver salt well out." ”

Leng Bi said: "Cedible?"

"That's right!" said the crane in the clouds.

As soon as these words came out, everyone's faces changed drastically.

This silver salt well is the economic lifeline of Rift Valley, and fifty or sixty percent of the annual income depends on this salt farm, and if you throw it out, this is not a self-severing arm, but an amputation below the waist.

Yun Zhonghe said: "This is the core and most important second step of my strategy: one peach kills two soldiers, and separates the tiger and wolf!"

At this time, the left bank military advisor said: "The tiger is the Shantai family, and the wolf is the Mo family." ”

"Yes, we will first dedicate the Silver Salt Farm to the Mo family, and then to the Shantai family. Yun Zhonghe said: "The root of our crisis lies in the Tantai family, once the Tantai family and the Mo family join forces, we will not be able to resist it at all." So the core of our breakthrough lies in the separation between these two families. ”

"I can't help the wolf with the child, and I can't help the rogue with the daughter-in-law. Yun Zhonghe said: "We just throw the silver salt field out, and the whole game of chess will be alive, won't we?"

The Left Bank Military Master nodded and said, "Yes, the Silver Salt Farm produces 500,000 taels of silver every year, and what the Mo family lacks is money, and they definitely can't stand this temptation." ”

Yun Zhonghe said: "Once the Mo family gets the silver salt field, instead of fanning the flames, he will take the initiative to extinguish the fire. They will do everything they can to quell the silver tragedy, so that this silver salt field will not become a hot potato, and they will be able to eat it smoothly. ”

"At that time, the Mo family will instead desperately prevent the army of the Princes' Alliance from forcibly entering the Silver Territory. It will also take the initiative to clear up our grievances about the production of poisonous salt, and will let the truth be revealed, because only in this way can the salt of the silver salt field be sold. ”

"In this way, we will at least survive the current crisis, and we will not be subject to more severe sanctions, and we will not be sent troops by the alliance of princes. ”

Yun Zhonghe said: "The Mo family has grain, if they get the silver salt field, it is equivalent to an extra 500,000 taels of silver every year, and there is money and grain, which is the foundation of hegemony." Coupled with the fact that he has the vassal of Qiushui City, and we show the intention of dependence, does his power swell all of a sudden, and soar to the sky? Will the Mo clan breed ambition and want to be on an equal footing with the Lantai family?"

There is no doubt about it, and no one is left behind. The head of the Mo family is also a generation of heroes, full of ambition.

Any prince, once he has money and food, will definitely have soldiers and horses, and he will definitely want to become the overlord.

If it was just a heart of success, the Mo family would not have behaved so aggressively.

"The hegemony of the Mo family has appeared, and at that time, will the first prince, the Tantai family, be full of fear of the Mo family, because this is to rob him of the overlordship, this is a divisive plan. Yun Zhonghe said: "However, on the day of the official handover of the silver mine, when the Mo family felt that they were going to reach the peak of their lives, we changed our hearts and dedicated the silver salt farm to the Shantai family, and proposed to the Shantai family as a dowry, so that Jing Wubian would marry the Shantai duckweed, that is, on this day, the Mo family would fall from heaven to hell." ”

Thinking of this scene, everyone was so happy that their hairs stood up.

But soon, Leng Bi expressed doubts.

"This peach killing two warriors sounds very cool, but in fact it is difficult to do, the Mo family is very cunning, and they don't scatter eagles if they don't see rabbits. We offer the Silver Salt Works to them a treaty that they must sign, just as we did fifty years ago when we signed the Lend-Lease Treaty of Fallen Leaves. Leng Bi said: "And once the treaty is signed, the contract cannot be broken, and we can no longer dedicate the silver salt field to the Tantai family." ”

The treaty of leasing the Fallen Leaf Territory fifty years ago was really a hundred years of pain for the Jing family.

"Yes, you must sign a contract to lease the Silver Salt Farm to the Mo family for fifty years. Yun Zhonghe said: "This secret treaty must be signed, but when the treaty takes effect, on the day of the official handover of the silver salt field, this treaty will automatically disappear, as if it has not been signed, and naturally there is no need to abide by it." ”

Leng Bi said: "How is this possible? When signing the contract, Mo will stipulate what pen, ink and paper to use, and no hands and feet can be moved." And once the contract is signed, they keep it perfectly in the strongest chest possible. And this box will be kept in the safest and most secret place, and it is completely impossible to steal and destroy it. ”

Yun Zhonghe said: "I said that this secret appointment will disappear automatically, and it will definitely disappear! And it will be destroyed by itself in the box, and the gods will not know it." ”
