After taking Zhao Qinglin and Crepe Bai, Chen Ziqian ordered the two to be imprisoned, and at the same time, he was not in a hurry to interrogate, so he left the two in prison.

The team was quickly withdrawn, and the team was personally brought back to the barracks by Lin Xiaodao, while Chen Ziqian returned to the county government under the protection of the Shadow Guard.

Luo Taibai has handed over the county's government affairs with the county Cheng and others, and the personnel appointments have been properly deployed.

Luo Taibai, who was busy reading the papers, was in the county office, and when he saw Chen Ziqian returning leisurely, he trotted out to greet him.

Obviously, he already knew about the fact that he had just made a big move and took the team to a private prostitution hall.

As a military advisor in the battalion, plus Luo Huixin's brother, Luo Taibai knows Chen Ziqian's temperament quite well.

This lord who is not profitable and cannot afford to be early will never be untargeted, and even personally ask about such small matters, which must be profitable.

What profit can a mere private prostitution parlor have?

Luo Taibai was quite curious about this, and when he greeted Chen Ziqian, he arched his hand with a smile and asked, "How did the lord gain this time?" ”

Chen Ziqian glanced at Luo Taibai, and said in his heart: "Can't I just go to prostitution?" ”

"Hehe, if the lord really goes to prostitution, he can bring an army to live with prostitutes, since ancient and modern times, the lord is the only scorpion, and it is rumored that the deceased must be impressed by the lord." Luo Taibai has a playful face, and talking with Chen Ziqian is never boring, and there is no need to be so rigid in small things.

Chen Ziqian waved his hand, and didn't take it too seriously: "This trip really picked up two treasures, one has the courage of ten thousand people, and even the knife has to be taken down with all his might, and the other is a Bashan person, if you guess correctly, it should still be from a big family, and one mouth can really say, even I was almost fooled by him." ”

"Oh!?" Luo Taibai immediately came to the spirit: "There are such capable people in a private prostitution hall, what about them?" ”

"Don't worry, hang them first." Chen Ziqian walked slowly into the county office, summoned the county Cheng and the chief bookkeeper and others, and asked for some information about the Bashan Zhao family.

For Zhao Qinglin, these little officials are obviously no strangers, after all, they are the children of a family with a lot of background, and they are also running various businesses in Banyang, so they must inevitably dredge up the relationship behind their backs.

Chen Ziqian briefly inquired about the specific situation of the Bashan Zhao family.

The Great Yan Dynasty has been inherited for hundreds of years, and there are not a few wealthy families in various places, and there are more than ten families in Yong'an County, which is naturally indispensable in Huaihua.

And the Bashan Zhao family is one of them, and its background is not weaker than the Wuling Chen family.

In recent years, the Bashan Zhao family has also produced a large number of talents, and the family industry has been distributed in all counties in the county, and even developed to other states and counties.

Zhao Qinglin is just a child of the Zhao family, although his identity is a little embarrassing, but he has shown extraordinary intelligence since he was a child, so he has been valued by the master and appointed to take care of all the family properties in Banyang County.

Recently, there have been frequent wars in various places, in order to better protect the interests of the family, Zhao Qinglin has begun to be busy recovering the funds, and the industries in Panyang County have basically been transferred and sold by him, but this private prostitution hall has not had time to deal with it.

He was also unlucky, but he encountered Chen Ziqian's trouble at this juncture, and he didn't make any money, so he put himself in.

Luo Taibai listened to the introduction of several insiders on the side, and was also quite interested in this Zhao Qinglin, and asked a few questions from time to time.

After understanding the situation clearly, Mrs. Luo's face had unconcealed joy on her face.

"Lord, this is a good opportunity to send it to the door." Luo Taibai said with a smile: "Bashan City is strong, easy to defend and difficult to attack, if you can combine the inside and the outside, our army can take Bashan without blood." ”

"Are you so sure that the Zhao family will cooperate with us?" As soon as Chen Ziqian heard Luo Taibai's words, he guessed that the Bashan Zhao family has a long reputation in the local area, and the relationship network is complicated.

But the question is, why do people do their best to help each other, just for the sake of a concubine, regardless of the safety of the whole clan to wade into troubled waters?

You must know that Tongzhou is still Sun Weiyang in charge, and Chen Ziqian of the nine counties of Tongzhou only occupies a county, whether it is background or strength, it is not a star and a half difference with Sun Weiyang.

And even if Chen Ziqian can successfully capture Huaihua, the next thing he will have to face is not only the trouble of assassination.

The Nanban attacked and harassed one after another on the border, and a large number of rebels were stationed in Yunzhou, and there were often stragglers in the territory.

Any one of these problems is enough to reverse the situation in the entire territory, and if the Bashan Zhao clan wants to cooperate with Chen Ziqian, the risk they need to take is definitely no less than that of raising the entire clan to rebel.

Is it worth it?

Luo Taibai obviously knows the risks well, and said calmly: "The current situation is turbulent, Huaihua is precarious, and the interests of many families have been greatly impacted. ”

"It's kind of interesting, what do you think, let's listen carefully." Chen Ziqian came to the spirit, but he couldn't ask for a battle without swords.

After all, the total number of troops on hand is less than 90,000, and it will be difficult for this man to gain a foothold in the future chaos, and it is of course necessary to reduce casualties as much as possible.

And according to Luo Taibai's idea, it doesn't seem impossible to take down the Bashan Zhao family.

Luo Taibai said very confidently: "What does the lord think, how is the current economy of Yong'an?" ”

"All kinds of things are waiting to be done." Chen Ziqian narrowed his pupils slightly, and when he heard the economic development in the territory, he was a little angry, and Yong'an had just suffered a heavy blow from Jing Ce Nian and those stragglers, and it was not an exaggeration to say that it was a waste to be revived.

But in such a difficult situation, those big families still have to do things behind their backs, making the already battered economy even more miserable.

Originally, I planned to take this opportunity to give them a chance to toss, and then go back to clean them up after taking Huaihua, but now it seems that it is better to introduce some large foreign investors and reorganize the market, which will not only make the local family feel the pressure, but also allow the big foreign families to have the opportunity to participate.

The redistribution of market share is a good direction, and it can be done with multiple birds with one stone.

Luo Taibai obviously also has this calculation: "The lord only needs to promise the Bashan Zhao family, and in the future, the Bashan Zhao family will give the greatest support to all industries in Yong'an, and enjoy the right to reduce or reduce taxes by 30% a year, what does the lord think?" ”

"Let's go, hurry up and talk to Zhao Qinglin in detail." Chen Ziqian couldn't wait to pull Luo Taibai and went straight to the prison.

Although Luo Taibai's proposal is not very perfect, this is a way after all, and with Zhao Qinglin's eloquent mouth, it should not be difficult to promote this matter.

Now it is only necessary to find a way to convince Zhao Qinglin, with Chen Ziqian's contact with Zhao Qinglin just now, in fact, it is not difficult to take down Zhao Qinglin.

This person has concerns, and in the case just now, his biggest concern is the Bashan Zhao family.

If there is a weakness, it is easy to target, Bashan County must be fought, as long as Bashan Zhao is willing to cooperate, the army can be stationed in Bashan afterwards to achieve a win-win situation.

If the Bashan Zhao clan refused to cooperate, when the army captured the city, Chen Ziqian would not mind copying the entire Bashan Zhao clan to make up for the loss of the army.

With Yong'an's current strength, he didn't even pay attention to the entire Huaihua County, and taking Bashan was just a matter of how much to pay.

Zhao Qinglin is a smart person, and this account is unreasonable.

What's more, at this time of war, apart from him Chen Ziqian, who else can give them these conveniences?
