At dusk, the group left the shooting range and returned to Yongxing City, and as soon as they arrived at the office, Bailiyan got a not bad news from Su Hong's mouth, Fang Bo passed away.

"When did you get the news?"

"Just this morning, a call from the Hou Ye's mansion."

After Su Hong's words were finished, Baili Yan frowned and said:

"Except for the problem of money, he is not a bad person, but it's a pity that he ......"

"But over the years, it has taken away many benefits from Yongxing City, and thirty years ago, it was rich and rich."

"Having said that, my Xianguo can also get its benefits from it, it is not a loss-making transaction, if there is no Fang Bo to open the way in the Jin Kingdom, my country's commercial goods may not be able to take advantage. In this way, you arrange for Lord Lu, Lord Zhao and Jiang Jie to stay, and I will rush back to Chenling immediately, the king is afraid that he will make a move, and the market of Jin Guo cannot be lost at present. ”

After explaining Su Hong, Jiang Jie and others, Baili Yan rushed back to Yinling non-stop.

Uncle Fang has been a merchant envoy for fifteen years since 640, earning a wealth of at least one million inches of silver, is the richest merchant in the Jin Kingdom, and his financial resources are far above the King of Jin.

Everyone said that Fang Bo was the biggest tax evasion rat in Xianguo, he took the lowest price of goods, almost did not pay taxes on goods, and had privileges in the Jin Kingdom, almost all of them were eaten, but this was only the surface.

Behind it, Bailiyan did a lot of financial infiltration activities, and if it were not for Fang Bo's commodities to open the way as a cover, it would be impossible for the commodities of Xianguo to be accepted by the vast areas of the Jin Kingdom.

As soon as Fang Bo died like this, King Xian would inevitably depose the official position of merchant envoy in order to regain his privileges and avoid economic loss. At the same time, it is also a grip to fight against Xihuan's forces, and Bai Liyan can't let him do this.

Xihuan is the only force in the palace that can contain Jiang Zhen, and before the other concubines become climate, the existence of Xihuan has a strong deterrent to Jiang Zhen.

Although the military, economic, and political forces of Xian State have crushed the Jin State in all aspects, and the value of Xihuan has been greatly weakened, but for a day of husband and wife, even if King Xian does not want Lizi, he will always have to give face.

Taking a step back, the commercial market formed by Fang Bo's influence in the Jin State and his funds have formed an inherent interest relationship network, and the Xian State is also deeply involved, and rashly attacking the Fang Bo forces can hit Xihuan and the King of Jin, but the Xian State will inevitably be injured.

Finally, in the current troubled times, Fang Bo's funds are a rare wealth for the King of Jin, which cannot be embezzled, but he will also try his best to use it. Therefore, sooner or later, the funds will be used to purchase arms, technology, and commodities from the country.

The economy of the Jin Kingdom is now deeply tied to the economic train of the Xianguo, and the future unification will inevitably be the integration of the economy, and the pacification of the political level, and the blow to Fang Bo is equivalent to destroying the economic influence that has been painstakingly operated for more than ten years.

Rushed back to Yinling overnight, Bailiyan entered the palace to see Jiang Yu, who was still in the state government supervision to review the recital.

Unlike his father, Jiang Yu, the recital is selectively approved, and some are decided by the various departments and departments of the cabinet, and finally submitted to him for signature.

The reason stems from the fact that Jiang Hai readjusted the cabinet in the middle and late stages of his reign, and the cabinet consisted of three relatives and three upstarts who crossed and constrained each other in terms of power.

So Jiang Hai can do this with confidence, but Jiang Yu can't.

As soon as he came to power, he made a big change of blood, put the humerus under house arrest, seized power, and made people panic, the result was that he did not trust the cabinet, and the cabinet did not worry about him.

"Chen Baili Yan see the king."

King Xian stopped his pen and ink and raised his head, looked at Baili Yan, and said slowly:

"Yongxing Hou is exempt, rush back from Yongxing late at night, but there is something important to report to the widow."

"King Qiqi, how is the king going to deal with the Commercial Management Department?"

Jiang Yu had already received a call from the city gate in advance, and he also knew that Bai Liyan was here for Uncle Fang, so he had already prepared a draft in his heart to deal with Bai Liyan's inquiry. He said:

"Then what should I do with Lord Si Nong?"

"The minister thinks that Fang Dan, the son of Fang Bo, should continue to serve as the business envoy in order to better manage the Jin market."

"But during Uncle Fang's tenure, tens of millions of commercial goods were taken from Yongxing City at a cost, so my country loses millions of benefits every year, is it so good?"

"King, Uncle Fang took away countless commercial goods at cost price, but he also stabilized the domestic prices of the Jin State and brought benefits to its people, so that the Jin people were stable, so that more manpower could be used to plant and tap the crops and industrial and mining raw materials needed by our country.

At the same time, Uncle Fang opened the market of the Jin Kingdom for my Xianguo, and my country's goods were able to enter the Jin Kingdom smoothly in the past fifteen years, although because of the taxation and local cards of the Jin State, the final selling price was higher than that of Uncle Fang, and the profit was not as good as him, but it is undeniable that Uncle Fang's influence has penetrated into the Jin Kingdom.

If Fang Bo is deposed here, thousands of goods can be recovered, but this will also affect the public sentiment of the entire Jin Kingdom, which will lead to fluctuations in the supply of raw materials needed by our country, and the King of Jin will be greatly dissatisfied with this, which is still only one of them.

Second, our country will take back Uncle Fang's privileges, which will affect all business channels related to Uncle Fang, thinking that the king has been enthusiastically communicating with Uncle Fang and Marquis before, and must be preparing for taking over Uncle Fang's business after Uncle Fang's death.

But what the minister wants to tell the king is that the king's actions will seriously hurt the relationship between the nobles and merchants of the Jin Kingdom and our country, and at the same time, it will also cause the nobles and merchants of other vassal states to worry about our country.

At present, the princes of various countries are dependent on our country, but after the peace, merchants and nobles around the country are dissatisfied, and in the future, our country will unify the Central Plains, these merchants and nobles are as many as cattle hairs, which are pervasive and ubiquitous, and killing is not clean, on the contrary, it will only deepen the rift and contradictions between our country and the bottom of the countries.

Therefore, what the king is doing now must make a long-term plan for the future unification of the Central Plains by our country, and he must not destroy his future for the sake of a momentary speed. ”

Although the merchants are not the backbone of society, they are the red blood cells of society, and society needs them to transport and produce all the goods it needs.

The aristocracy, on the other hand, was nominally a stubborn political force, and when these two forces converged and were still anti-government organizations, when they could not defend their interests by force, they would retreat into underground secret societies and grow into large and systematic secret organizations, which would then continue to operate, encroach on the political bureaucracy, and even instigate large-scale social unrest.

Bailiyan has never advocated completely offending any class, preferring to win over the majority of a class or the entire class.

Jiang Zhen's wrist is tantamount to a high degree of feudal centralization, which is very dangerous in the future, and it is very easy to offend all social classes in the world.

Fang Bo is the most typical and representative case. Jiang Yu can do Fang Bo today, and he will do Bailiyan in the future, and even Luhou and Xuanting Hou, until he seizes all the industrial and commercial powers.

Bai Liyan's resolute opposition made Jiang Yu extremely displeased, but his unhappiness was not reflected in the wording:

"The widow knows about this matter, and after the widow thinks about it, he will make a long-term plan."

"The minister also hopes that Your Majesty will put the foundation of the country first and the safety of the world first. From now on, Xianguo will be the leader of the princes of the world, there is no one else to replace, the minister also asked the king to understand the world with the heart of the king, only in this way, in the future can take Liang and replace the world, the minister retired. ”

"Well, Yongxing Hou will go back."

Bai Liyan turned around and was about to retreat, but Jiang Yu suddenly thought of a thought at this time and shouted again:

"Si Nong, please slow down, the widow still has something to ask Master Si Nong."

"I don't know what the king is asking."

"The widow wants to customize a widow's car, can Yongxing Hou do it for the widow."

Jiang Yuxing's bloody request made Bailiyan unbelievable, Jiang Yu obviously shouldn't know about the model of private car, so he should want a more comfortable car to decorate his façade and vanity.

There is nothing wrong with this, but the problem is that now only pickup trucks and medium trucks are produced, and it is simply impractical to re-study the design separately and open a separate production line, so it can only be manufactured by hand.

But this requires a lot of time wasted by high-quality designers and senior mechanics, and the design is made from scratch, which is inevitably a bit more than worth the cost.

However, this is the request of King Xian, and in a sense, it is a very small request.

Thinking of this, he said slowly:

"The minister can arrange the craftsman to do it, because it needs to start over, so it takes time."

"How long was that?"

"A year or two."

Jiang Yu was taken aback, and he said:

"Why is it so long, there are no ready-made vehicles?"

"King Qiqi, the current vehicle is still too simple for the king to ride. Moreover, the king needs only one or two or three vehicles, which cannot be mass-produced, so they can only be manufactured by hand, and they are still starting from scratch, so this time will be very long, but the minister will do it as soon as possible to meet the king's needs. ”

"In this case, Lord Si Nong must be perfect and not let the widow down."

"Decree."

The first phase of Yongxing Vehicle Factory was officially put into operation in October 651, when it could produce more than 1,300 medium trucks, more than 400 crawler harvesters, more than 100 pickup trucks, more than 6,000 single-cylinder walk-behind tractors and single-cylinder walk-behind harvesters, and more than 9,000 internal combustion engines and train heads of various types.

This is still the maximum production capacity under the condition of using assembly line production, which shows how low the capacity of the automobile industry was at the beginning.

The second phase of construction carried out in June of this year, the production capacity has increased more than three times, with an annual output of more than 4,700 trucks, more than 1,500 crawler tractors, more than 700 pickup trucks, more than 14,000 horizontal bar walk-behind tractors and horizontal bar walk-behind harvesters, more than 900 motorcycles and motorcycle tricycles, and more than 36,000 internal combustion engine train heads of various types.

Bailiyan has focused on increasing the production capacity of pickup trucks, locomotives and newly developed six-cylinder engines, and has also produced some motorcycles.

Due to the small load of the pickup truck in the early stage, Bailiyan's previous positioning was only used as a car and a light vehicle, and the role of the pickup truck was extremely limited because the 121 rocket launcher and heavy machine gun had not yet been developed.

Now that the conditions are in place, the strategic value of pickup trucks is particularly important. Rocket artillery, heavy machine guns, and even mountain artillery, all loaded into pickup trucks, are undoubtedly the best mobile firepower.

As for the research and development of the six-cylinder engine is a matter of course, the inevitable result of technology accumulation and development, the successful development of the six-cylinder engine provides a power source for small ships and empty boats, and the next step will continue to deepen the evolution of the six-cylinder engine model.

The eight-cylinder engine and the twelve-cylinder engine can be slowed down, and the six-cylinder engine can be applied to the market to feed back some funds, otherwise the continued high investment will drag down his Bailiyan's treasury.

All motor vehicles without exception were purchased by the imperial court for domestic economic construction and baggage transportation, and one-third of the harvesters and tractors were sold to Yuke, whose grain production in Qianyue Mountain was increasing by almost 100% per year, but it also brought about the problem of gasoline and diesel shortage.

Bailiyan then began to expand the Dongyuan County oil field last year, and at the same time sent an inspection team to the Lingjiang County oil field under the control of Zhiguo, planning to drill wells for oil production, and set up an oil refinery and chemical plant to provide part of the oil for the nearby Qianyue Mountain.

The oil field was first discovered by the black scarf, used to extract oil for war, after being obtained by Zhiguo, has been used as an important foreign exchange export to the Xian country, but it is still purely relying on manual collection of pots and pans, the efficiency of environmental pollution is serious, many places have formed oil lakes, and even caused oil field fires, causing serious ecological disasters and diseases.
