Li Zhihe and Zhou Yuan entered the city overnight.

The sky was cloudy and without a little starlight, as if an iron lid was densely crushed down.

In the courtyard of the Late Red Mansion adjacent to the Marquis of Xinchang, the black gauze woman, Xinchanghou Li Pu, Chai Jian, Li Chong, Yao Xishui, Su Hongyu and even Chun Shisanniang and others had already been among them, waiting for Li Zhihe and Zhou Yuan to come over.

Several large candles burned, beeping faintly.

"Han Qian's son, he has done so many things in three or four days after returning to Jinling, and all his various measures are intended not to be controlled by this side! He's so ambitious! Zhou Yuan walked into the house, thinking that Xinchanghou and they should have been discussing for a long time, so he couldn't wait to throw out his opinion.

Li Pu, Chai Jian, Li Chong, Yao Xishui and others were silent, they all gathered half an hour earlier, and the conclusion of the discussion was the same.

Han Qian's layout in Xuzhou in the name of Zuo Si, the layout in Qiuhu Mountain Courtyard, and the layout in Jinling City, they all verified it, and they could confirm that Han Qian was not hiding anything from them.

However, just like this, they knew better what Han Qian's purpose was in urgently borrowing 30 million money directly in the name of the Linjiang Marquis Mansion.

Because in addition to the expenses of the two hundred elite people directly under Zuo Si, he also has to support Yang Qin's gang, support Yang Tan Water Village to rebuild in Xuzhou, secretly support Feng Xuan, and ransom the Xi clan, especially Han Qian decided yesterday to directly support nearly 300 Zuo Si's children.

All this, with the income and expenditure of the workshops, fleets, and warehouses controlled by Zuo Si, is far from being able to support.

What's more, Han Qian also built a dam and a reservoir at the source of the Taoxi River, and added a number of hydraulic equipment, which of these many things is not a huge amount of money?

If Han Qian can't raise money immediately, Zuo Si may not even be able to support it next month.

Previously, Han Qian agreed that they would place manpower in the boat gang led by Yang Qin, an important factor was that Han Qian should know in his heart how much it would cost to maintain a boat gang with elite forces, and he obviously wanted the cantonment military government to be directly responsible for the cost of the boat gang and the reconstruction of Yangtan Water Village.

But all this, from the moment Han Qian proposed that Zuo Si should borrow 30 million money in the name of the Linjiang Marquis Mansion, and this money was directly used by Zuo Si, it is likely that there has been a change.

It is very likely that Han Qian will no longer agree to their side meddling in the construction and expansion of the Boat Gang.

If he really wants to raise 30 million money, how can Han Qian let Zuo Si support him for a year or two.

And Han Qian wanted to directly raise nearly three hundred Zuo Si disciples, and the purpose was obvious, that is, to reduce the infiltration and control of the Zuo Si elite on their side as much as possible, and ensure that the Zuo Si elite was loyal to him personally.

Otherwise, there would be no way to explain why Han Qian spent a huge amount of money to raise nearly three hundred Zuo Si disciples.

Could it be that the workshop really lacks these 300 young people to work?

The conclusion is obvious, the key is what they are going to do and what can they do?

Li Zhihe sat down and moved the saber on his waist behind him, Han Qian's attitude suddenly became tough after noticing what they were doing to Fan Dahei.

It seems that their co-optation of Fan Dahei has touched the bottom line that Han Qian can tolerate.

Li Zhihe didn't know what to say, did he blame his father for being too accustomed to secretly controlling others?

"How sure are you about building a water mill?" Xinchang Hou Li Pu asked Zhou Yuan.

Zhou Yuan was a little puzzled.

Li Zhihe was also confused, he didn't know what his father had discussed before, and why he suddenly asked about it.

"We have calculated that we will build 50 water mills by the end of the year, and we will be able to add tens of thousands of stone rice to the military government every year...... "Xinchang Hou Li Pu said.

Li Zhihe understood that his father wanted Cangcao or Gongcao to control the loan, and then subsidize the extra money and grain to Zuo Si to control Zuo Si and limit the growing momentum of Han Qian's power.

It is clear that with the current situation, they need the presence of the left division.

Especially when the Three Princes and Shen Yang clearly supported Han Qian, they had to have a reasonable excuse to stop Han Qian from directly controlling this huge amount of money in the name of Zuo Si, so that Zuo Si became an independent force not controlled by them within the cantonment military government.

Zhou Yuan smiled bitterly: "The construction of fifty water mills is theoretically capable of cooking thousands of stone meters a day, but the potential of the streams and rivers in the mountains is greatly affected by the rainy season, and it really takes great effort to build it, and it can increase the income of two or three thousand stone rice grain every year, and it will be the sky, where is it as good as Han Qian said." ”

Zhou Yuanneng presided over Gongcao, even if he was not a first-class figure of Yang En, he also knew about work.

This matter was a pit dug by Han Qian for him, and he had to jump, otherwise, would he really want to give up the matter of Gong Cao?

You must know that Han Qian can become a dragon and become a force within the army, and the craftsman plays a key role.

In order to obtain relatively cheap lime, green bricks, charcoal and other materials from the workshop, they had to allocate thousands of stone rice grains to Han Qian every month - this money and grain not only enabled Han Qian to hire thousands of laborers from within the camp, but also supported the construction of the Qiuhu Mountain Annex, and also supported the expansion of the Zuosi system for more than a year.

If you really want to give the matter of Gongcao to Han Qian to preside, I don't know how much grain will be under Han Qian's control, and I don't know how much grain will be appropriated by Han Qian to support the expansion of the Zuosi system, and it will be even more difficult to control it at that time.

Li Zhihe also understood that his father really couldn't squeeze out the money and food to directly support Zuo Si, but the current situation was inseparable from the Zuo Si system that Han Qian had initially built.

"Is my father sure that he wants to fight for the Dragons and Sparrows to fight before the winter?" Li Zhihe asked.

"Well," Li Pu nodded helplessly, and said, "Your Majesty summoned me to the palace today, I have already said this, although Your Majesty did not directly approve of it, but ordered the young eunuch to go to the Privy Council and bring the latest Jingxiang situation map ......"

Li Zhihe sighed secretly, if His Majesty wanted the Dragon Bird Army to be reinforced from the Western Front, and they wanted to guard against what the Anning Palace and the Xu Clan were secretly doing, it would be even more inseparable from the deployment made by Zuo Si on the Jiang'e front line some time ago.

In short, it is unlikely that they will directly win over Yang Qin and others for their use in a short period of time.

And with Fan Dahei's previous experience, Han Qian would not allow them to meddle in the affairs of the boat gang.

And even if 5,000 generals are gathered to go on the expedition, the supplies after leaving Jinling will be provided by the Privy Council, but the soldiers' armor and winter clothes before the expedition are all large expenses.

In the final analysis, the power on their side is too weak and there are too few supporters, which highlights Han Qian's indispensability.

Zhou Yuan glanced at Yao Xishui, and stopped talking, but Chai Jian glared angrily, Zhou Yuan sneered, and some words were finally held in his stomach and not spit out.

Li Zhihe sighed in his heart, thinking that he really wanted to move this thought at this time and send the water over, can he be sure that Han Qian will definitely accept it?

Yao Xishui's eyelids drooped slightly, and he didn't seem to see Zhou Yuan and Chai Jian's small movements.

"If we keep silent, Zuo Si may not be able to make much noise!" The woman in black gauze spoke at this time, "There are many other things, let's wait until after this expedition." ”

Li Zhihe thought to himself, and now it is most important to make every effort to ensure that this expedition does not go wrong.

Even if Zhao Mingting, the staff secretary, suffered such a big loss at the hands of Han Daoxun and Han Qian's father and son this time, but at this time, he also rushed to Shouzhou in person to keep an eye on Liang Guo's movements in the north of Guangshou, and he didn't have time to find Han Qian to settle the holiday for the time being.

Feng Yi was locked up in the house for a few days, and he was so disgusted that he couldn't do it, and when his father went to the yamen to respond to Yingmao, he ran to his grandmother and rolled around, and finally asked for permission to go out of the house to breathe, but he also promised not to go to Han Qian, and the errands on the three princes' side were also delayed for the time being.

There were four guards who couldn't get rid of him by his side, and Feng Yi couldn't go to the late Red Mansion to be happy, so he went to Xiaofanlou, which has become increasingly famous recently, but he saw a few new top girls in Xiaofanlou.

Feng Yi really couldn't arouse much interest, so he asked for a private room facing the street, called a pianist and a musician, sat in front of the window and watched the people outside the building, listening to a slightly hoarse song, thinking that once in a while, he would have a leisurely life.

It was only at this time that he was able to drive the four guards out into the corridor outside to guard and have some leisure.

"You play "Qingshanle" a little inauthenticly, the musician of Xiaofanlou, when did you become so watery?" Feng Yi calmed down, and he heard that the tune plucked out by the pianist was a little off, but he was not annoyed, and did not drive people out directly as before, but asked with a crooked neck.

"Feng Sangongzi is really an elegant person, I thought that this song Qingshanle, I had practiced well enough, it seems that in the future, I can't play this pianist, the flaw is too big!" The pianist laughed, pushed the guqin in front of him away, and the musician next to him played and sang.

Feng Yi's mouth opened, and he stared at the pianist for a while before he vaguely saw from between his eyebrows that he was indeed Han Qian: "You, you, how did you change your personality?" ”

"Piano Master Han Qian has seen Feng Sangongzi,"

Han Qian stood up and pretended to salute, walked to the window and walked to the opposite of Feng Yi, poured himself a glass of wine, drank it in small sips, looked at the traffic downstairs, and said with emotion,

"If the rest of your life can be as leisurely as Feng Sangongzi is today, life is really good."

"I wanted to go to you, but my father sent someone to watch you so closely, I couldn't get out of it. Also, my father also said that you bartered the goods over there, and our Feng family also recognized it for the time being, but if I go to you, my Feng family can only go to Zhao Mingting and say that the Feng family's goods have been robbed......" Feng Yi explained with a smile, indicating that he did not deliberately avoid Han Qian in the past few days.

"If your father really dares to do this, then the Feng family's cargo ship probably won't want to be able to leave Jinling smoothly in the future," Han Qian smiled, "Of course, I won't do anything that makes you embarrassed, otherwise, how could I need to look like this to see you?" I came to see you, mainly because His Highness was thinking about you, let me come and ask you, has your mind changed? ”

Feng Yixin said, it's better not to worry about it, and sneered: "Look at what you said, you still can't understand me?" I've heard that you're moving a lot now, and the Dragon Sparrow Army is about to go on an expedition. Oh, by the way, you have another money shop in Wuli Lane, what's going on? ”

"Except for His Royal Highness coming to greet you, I mainly came to you for this matter," Han Qian told Feng Yi in detail about the loan raising, and said, "Everyone's peaceful birthday has not passed for a few years, and there is not much money left in the hands of the people in the market, if you help to secretly advocate this matter, the credit cannot be considered small." Even if it is inconvenient for you to come to His Highness for the time being, I don't think Your Highness will feel that your mind has changed. ”

"How could I change my mind?" Feng Yi smiled, "It's just that my father arranged for someone to follow, and I really can't find someone to talk about it." ”

"All the money and food received, the money shop has to return four cents of money every month, and many people feel that this time His Royal Highness is too short of money, so they think of this method to drink to quench their thirst. Even if you persuade others to put money in the money shop, it can be said that you are feeding poisonous wine to His Highness, what are you afraid of your father counting you? Besides, you just need to let more people know about this matter and discuss it, and you don't need to persuade ...... clearly," Han Qian said with a smile.

"You're not going to leave with the money and food, are you?" Feng Yi stared at Han Qian and asked.

"That's none of your business," Han Qian said with a smile, "By the way, your family bought a third-class house slave named Guo Que'er at the beginning of last year, but he is clever and sensible, and he is very popular with the stewards of your family's foreign government, you can keep Guo Que'er by your side, if you are in a hurry to contact me, you can ask him to do it for you." ”

"You said that the house slave who looks black and doesn't slippery, and everyone nicknames him Little Crow?" Feng Yi's mouth was open for a long time, why didn't he expect that Han Qian was preparing to establish the Zuo Division, and he would be the first to install a secret agent in his house?

"Don't be so surprised, I also have to act as a last resort," Han Qian said, "Have you seen those two maids beside me, who can I sleep with?" He can't even touch his ass, you and Hee Young have at least tasted it. ”

"......" Feng Yi laughed dryly, but in retrospect, the taste of Chun Niang is indeed enough to ecstasy, in contrast, a few maids around him and the so-called top brands in the Evening Red Mansion and Xiaofan Building, they are really vulgar fans.
