Volume 1 Taibai Dawn Chapter 19 Taibai Sparks, waiting to burn the prairies

Cao Yi's nerves are actually quite tenacious, thanks to the hijacking at the end of his previous life, he accidentally survived from the incident that could not survive to the present, if he is a stable second generation official for the rest of his life, it is actually not bad, but if not, then he must find a reliable way back for himself in advance.

Thinking of danger in peace is an idea he has had since he crossed over to this life, otherwise he would not have stopped talking for a whole year, for fear that others would find out that he is no longer the original Cao Yi. Living well is the original goal, and it is also the principle that has always been adhered to. Because of Yan Shu's early birth, he had the motivation to turn the original sense of crisis into action. Don't pin your fate on others, think to the widest, but prepare for the worst.

It's hard to say that the surrounding countries will attack the Great Yan Dynasty in the future, so he plans to take advantage of the fact that the world is still too peaceful now, and start doing his best to earn more money, and then use the money he earns to use it in his future preparations.

As a person from later generations, of course, he knows who has the big fist, who has the right to speak, and the truth that power comes out of the barrel of a gun is very recognized, so an armed force completely controlled by him is also indispensable in the future.

Maybe judging from his current situation, the armed forces he can control may only be a small fight in the eyes of others, but for the current Cao Yi, he doesn't have the idea of dominating the world, he doesn't think about being a dignitary in front of people and leaving a name for eternity, he just thinks that in case the world is in turmoil, Dayan is wiped out like the previous Northern Song Dynasty, and he can save his life in Jiangning.

"Childe, the affairs of Qingfeng Building have been arranged, what do you need your subordinates to do next?" Liu Baiqing asked directly after he came back, and then sat on the chair under Cao Yi's instructions.

"Well, I do have a lot of things for you to do, the first thing is that you should take people to a remote place on the outskirts of the city in the next few days to see which place is suitable for our secret winery, preferably close to the water source, and there are no people nearby. Another point is that the place must be large, half of which will be used for winery, and half for other purposes, as our secret station in the future. You look at a few more places, choose the three most suitable, and then I'll make the final decision. ”

"Yes, Childe"

"The second thing, after the affairs of the wine shop are completed, you have to spare a lot of time and spend a lot of effort to organize a hundred escort team, personnel you can go to Ya Po to buy some good bones, big potential boys, not too old, too big ideas are difficult to control, not too small, at least we have to buy it in the early stage and can use it, I don't have so much time." Or you go to Jiangning City to find those age-appropriate orphans, adopt them, take them to the wine shop to station, and hand them over to you to train, just target the soldiers under your former hands, you listen to me first" Cao Yi saw that Liu Baiqing seemed to have something to say, so he quickly stopped it and continued: "You don't need to think about money, I am responsible for all this, you just need to be responsible for the drill." ”

"Okay, Childe, I'll try my best to do ......"

"Not as much as possible, but as necessary!" Cao Yi's expression was serious.

"Yes!" Liu Baiqing looked at Cao Yi, and seemed to see the momentum of the old man when he marched and fought from the young master's eyes. The son of the tiger and leopard, although it is not written, has the gas of eating cattle, this sentence is indeed not unreasonable.

Cao Yi was silent for a while, staring into Liu Baiqing's eyes, "Follow me, I have wronged you." ”

Liu Baiqing didn't answer for a while, and after a while, he said: "At first, I was a little aggrieved, but after all these years, I am relieved, my son is very good to me, I am comfortable here, I don't have to worry about food and clothing, people in this life, just so many decades, it will pass in the blink of an eye, and it is very good to live in peace." In the past, although he looked majestic and had thousands of soldiers and horses under his hands, the conditions were difficult, the people were tired, and the heart was even more tired. ”

Cao Yi took a deep look at Liu Baiqing, the crooked sunlight just shone on the latter's face, his expression was calm, but in the depths of his eyes, there seemed to be a trace of unwillingness.

"Who is right in this world, what if one day it suddenly becomes not peaceful?" Cao Yi said mysteriously, "Or one day, you can still dominate the world, be famous all over the world, and show your ambitions!" ”

Liu Baiqing smiled: "Childe said that I laughed, I have completely lost this mind now, Jiangning is prosperous and quiet, my previous heart of throwing his head and spilling blood for fame has long been calmed down, so it is quite good to live a peaceful and plain life, at least my parents are no longer worried about my safety all the time." ”

"When the affairs of the wine shop guards are on the right track, I will give you a month's vacation, and you can choose a fast horse in your own house to go back to meet them, rest assured, the monthly salary will be issued!" Cao Yi stepped forward and patted Liu Baiqing's shoulder and said lightly.

"In this way, Bai Qing will thank Gongzi first!" Liu Baiqing's face was happy, and he hugged his fists and thanked him.

Next, Cao Yi pulled Liu Baiqing to talk secretly in the room for a long, long time, from the detailed layout of the wine shop to some preparations for the station, and told Liu Baiqing that the 100 escort team was only the first batch of personnel in the early stage, and more people would continue to be recruited in the later stage.

According to Cao Yi's plan and goal, with the increase in the production of Taibai drunk and the opening of popularity, it is bound to be slowly sold to the surrounding cities and capitals and even all parts of the Great Yan Dynasty, and even the Liao Kingdom, Western Xia, Jurchen and Dali are very likely, so it is bound to require a very large caravan and escort force in the future.

However, according to the laws of the Great Yan Dynasty now, the princes and nobles are not allowed to secretly raise private soldiers, once they are discovered by the imperial court, they will be full of copies of the nine clans, and the light will be copied and distributed to the frontier.

Therefore, if Cao Yi wants to develop his own armed forces, he can only rely on another method. As far as he knows, there is only a post station in the Great Yan Dynasty now, which is dedicated to escorting some letters to and from the imperial court, which is equivalent to the postal service of later generations, but the post station also has its own limitations, that is, it only serves the imperial court, and is not open to ordinary people.

But what if there was a security agency that specialized in protecting their trade?

That's right, Cao Yi's idea was to create a dart bureau that only appeared in the Ming and Qing dynasties in advance in this era to transport valuable goods for private merchants. Of course, at the beginning, those businessmen would definitely not trust this inexplicable so-called 'dart game'. If you want people to trust, you must have a greater reputation and reputation, so you can only open up the situation by serving yourself first.

Cao Yi plans to first establish the Taibai Chamber of Commerce through the inevitable popular commodity of Taibai drunkenness, set up branches of the Taibai Chamber of Commerce in various state capitals of the Dayan Dynasty, and set up restaurants. On the other hand, with this part of the defense force, it can also be used to trade between various cities, sell goods from the north to the south, and vice versa, so that you can earn the trade difference between the goods of different cities, improve the profits of the chamber of commerce, feed back the development of the chamber of commerce, and also make the popularity of the dart bureau rise, laying the foundation for the business volume of the subsequent dart board.

Therefore, with the development of the Taibai Chamber of Commerce and the improvement of its popularity, the scope of work undertaken by the dart board is bound to become more and more extensive, and they are bundled together to achieve and grow together. In the follow-up, the dart bureau can completely break away from the Taibai Chamber of Commerce, not only can it undertake the private property of ordinary rich and noble families, but even the money handed over by the magistrate can also be transported by the dart bureau. In the later stage, you can also do some bodyguard work in various cities to take care of homes and protect personal safety.

Of course, in the end, if the Taibai Chamber of Commerce really develops very smoothly, and there are chambers of commerce in the cities of the Yan Dynasty, it can involve the exchange and circulation of silver tickets, accept the gold and silver stored by wealthy businessmen, issue paper silver tickets and exchange them with branches of the Taibai Chamber of Commerce across the country, one to greatly reduce the cost of transportation of other people's property, and the other is to carry silver tickets, and to do business in various places, you don't need to bring so much money, goods and silver, which is convenient for business. Of course, in the end, it was the Taibai Chamber of Commerce that benefited, and when the time came, a large amount of gold and silver would be reserved, which was hard currency. If the Taibai Chamber of Commerce develops as expected, the Taibai Chamber of Commerce at that time will control the wealth of the country and the armed forces that cannot be underestimated.

However, the most important thing at the moment is to first complete the affairs of the secret wine shop and a hundred escorts on the outskirts of the city.
