Five years, as long as the Ming Dynasty annexes and digests the Qin State within five years, at that time, above the territory, it can already be compared with the Qi State, although there is still a big shortage in terms of population, but at that time, the Chu State is afraid that it is already sunset. Min Ruoxi can think of the scene at that time.

Because there is such a bridge between the Ming State and the Chu State, the Chu people will have a better impression of the Ming people than the Qi people. The annihilation of hundreds of thousands of eastern border troops in Qi has made Chu and Qi have formed an indissoluble enmity, and Da Ming is the fisherman who benefits from the competition between these two tigers.

In the past few years, Da Ming will definitely spare no effort to support the Chu State against Qi, it seems that he is helping the Chu State, but in fact, he will fall the Chu State step by step into the endless ending with the Qi State, if he changes to a wise emperor, he may try to end this war of alignment, so as to win the opportunity to recuperate, but the second brother Min Ruoying is not destined to be such a person.

He would only think that this fiasco would make him lose face, would make him lose the justice of his rule, and would remind Chu people of his eldest brother who was known for his benevolence and tolerance, so he would only try to regain the so-called dignity he had lost, and the way was naturally to recover what he had lost on the battlefield.

And this is exactly what Daming needs.

The state of Chu is no longer able to launch a large-scale campaign, or the Chu people will achieve some tactical victories on the border, but they cannot change the overall situation of the confrontation between the two countries. The Qi people are well aware of this, so in the future, no matter what the Chu people do, the Qi people will not pay too much attention to them, but will shift their focus to domestic reforms. The counterattack of the Chu people, the Qi people, will only be regarded as a small conflict on the border that you don't need to care too much about.

And a few years later, when the Ming Dynasty completes the annexation and digestion and absorption of the Qin State, and when the Qi people complete the internal integration and reform, the two behemoths will face each other head-on, but when the two of them face each other, they will first take the Chu State.

The Qi people didn't want to have a Chu State next to them when they had a final battle with the Ming State, and the Ming people needed the huge human resources of the Chu State and the rich land of fish and rice in the south of the Yangtze River.

And what would the state of Chu be like at that time? Years of conquest will make all industries tired, in order to cope with the war and the heavy taxes will make the people overwhelmed, people's hearts will fluctuate, eager for change, all of them, will make the rule of the Min family in jeopardy, and at this time, the Ming Dynasty and the Qi State will all focus on him, and when the time comes, in the face of such two behemoths, Min Ruoxi can't think of a second way out.

The trend of the times, beyond the human power to recover, and Qi let the state of Chu fall into the hands of the state of Qi, it is better to let him fall into the hands of the Ming Dynasty, at least, in the future, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty belongs to his son Xiao Wu, and Xiao Wu's blood is still flowing with the blood of the Min family.

"Niangniang, Changlong Bank, now it can be said that we have gained a foothold in Shangjing, although we have been stationed in Shangjing for a very short time, but the inviolability of private property and the bank secrecy decree issued by His Majesty immediately let us stand on a high point, from the night of the opening, we have signed an agreement with dozens of wealthy people and a small number of officials in Shangjing, and next, we will have tens of millions of taels of silver." Feng Ke smiled.

"Shangjing people are so rich?" Ai Qian, who was on the side, also heard the news for the first time, and was not shocked and a little stunned, but he knew that if he wanted to touch His Majesty's bank secrecy order, the starting point would be more than 500,000 taels of silver.

"Da Chu is rich, the best in the world, this is really not a joke, it really opened my eyes!" Feng Ke also shook his head. "This is just the beginning, there are still many people watching the wind, Lord Ai, you see, there will be more people to join in the future."

"The treasury of Chu State has been empty in the war, so they can only take out loans to buy weapons, and these people are so fat that they are all fat." Min Ruoxi sneered.

Feng Ke and Ai Qian glanced at each other, Ai Qian coughed lightly: "Niangniang, this is actually a good thing for our Daming, with this money injected into my Daming's treasury, our Daming Bank can use it as a reserve to issue more banknotes to avoid the danger of national credit bankruptcy, Mr. Feng, these money, should be regular, right?" ”

"Yes, the lowest is from three years." Feng Ke nodded, "When negotiating with them, we insisted on this, and these people, in fact, are restless now, they are all people with great backgrounds, the court of Chu has no money, for them, it is not a secret, they are now worried that the court of Chu will come to their trouble, in fact, in the country of Qi, or the state of Chu, once there is trouble in the financial resources, it is not a new thing to knock down these merchants and take their wool, at this time we gave them another way out, and with the endorsement of His Majesty, Of course, they want to seize and avoid risks, which is the nature of businessmen, and it is the only choice for businessmen to give it a go. ”

"So, I'm afraid that the first batch of people who sent money in are more or less in the hands of others?" Min Ruoxi asked.

"Yes, these people have problems, the sources of their huge wealth are not clean, if the Chu court wants to clean them up, it is indeed a lot of reasons." Feng Ke nodded.

A look of disgust flashed in Min Ruoxi's eyes.

"Niangniang, although these people are guilty, their money can play a great role in our Daming, Daming needs this money, so he can only turn a blind eye to their problems." Ai Qian stared at Min Ruoxi and said.

Min Ruoxi glanced at Ai Qian: "What, are you afraid that I will clean them up?" ”

The corners of Ai Qian's eyes jumped wildly, and he shook his head: "No, no, the minister didn't think so." ”

"I know what is important, and I know what to do to be better for Daming. Don't forget, I'm the queen of the Ming Dynasty. Min Ruoxi said lightly.

"Minister, minister is afraid!" Ai Qian swallowed a mouthful of saliva, just now, when he saw Min Ruoxi's expression, he was indeed a little worried that Min Ruoxi would have a seizure.

"These people's money, not only can help me Daming get through this year's difficulties, but more importantly, it is a thousand gold city horse bones, I think there will be a lot of people will stare at these people to send me Daming's wealth, if it is safe, in the next few years, I am afraid that this kind of money will continue to come in, right?" Min Ruoxi looked at Feng Ke.

"Yes, sis." Feng Ke nodded and said: "It's not just the Chu State, among the merchants, the flow of news is very fast, as long as we make a reputation, I am afraid that many people in the Qi State will also send money to our treasury." So in this first batch, we must do our best, this is a living example. ”

Min Ruoxi's eyes flashed, "Feng Ke, do you have any other news?" ”

Feng Ke said with a smile: "Niangniang, I did receive some news in Xia, there are a few businessmen who have deposited money in our place, and the court of Chu State is indeed going to attack them, so the Eagle's Nest is already arranging for some of their descendants to take refuge in the Ming Kingdom, and when all this is done, living examples will appear in front of everyone, and at that time, it is the time for us to really harvest." ”

"One ring after another, I really haven't missed a bit." Min Ruoxi couldn't help laughing: "Whose handiwork is this?" ”

"Your Majesty, this is formulated by Lord Wang Yueyao, Lord Su Cansu, and Commander Guo of the Eagle's Nest." Feng Ke said in a low voice.

"Changlong played such a play, aren't you afraid that the court of Chu will find you trouble?" Min Ruoxi asked.

"They don't dare. Because they have to pay for the Ming weapons, we have to pay for them! Moreover, we did not violate the laws of the Chu State, we are a bank, and customers deposit their money, and we are not obliged to examine the origin of their money, which is the Chu State's own business. What's more, there is Da Ming standing behind us, and now the Chu State is turning against us for a few businessmen? Of course not. They will definitely fight with Daming for this money, but it's just a bargain, so let them fight with Daming's court, and a few years will pass. Feng Ke smiled happily.

"What's next?"

"Next, Changlong's branches will be opened in various important counties of Chu State, after the first round of harvest, our goal is to implement our Ming banknotes in Chu State, this task is much more difficult than the first one, after all, here, we do not have such unique conditions in China, we can only operate slowly step by step. But we are not without an entry point, in the next few years, the business transactions between the Ming and the Chu State will reach a peak, and the merchants of the Chu State want to walk in the Ming Dynasty, there is only one way to exchange Ming currency, and these people have always led the market, and there will always be more and more people who use our Ming banknotes, although the cultivation of this habit will last a little, but it is effective. ”

"Niangniang, more importantly, in these years, a large number of silver taels of Chu have flowed to our Great Chu, and the price of silver on the market will become more and more expensive, and the court of Chu will inevitably mint more copper coins, and it is conceivable that when the copper mine cannot keep up, the quality of copper coins will drop sharply, which will cause the depreciation of copper coins and the purchasing power will become worse and worse. When the people of Chu found that the purchasing power of our paper money was getting stronger and stronger, didn't they know how to choose? Of course, they will use the copper coins in their hands to exchange for our banknotes, and they will use the silver taels in their hands to exchange for our banknotes. ”

"At this time, it is time for us to put money into Changlong. But it's all worth it. Feng Ke continued Ai Qian's words. Paper money, in the final analysis, is just some numbers printed on paper, while silver taels, gold, and even copper coins are real hard currency. ”

"A few years later, the economy of Chu can be completely controlled in the hands of my Ming Dynasty, even if Chu State found a problem at that time, and even made an agitation measure to prevent the circulation of Ming banknotes, I am afraid that there is no other possibility except to cause domestic turmoil, I believe that at that time, it is also time for our Ming Dynasty to start dealing with Chu State."
