Han Fang sat above, smiled, and said indifferently: "It's just a trivial matter, since everyone is here, let's talk about business!" In recent days, the emperor has re-instated the Marquis of Yong'an, and relied on Zhao Shide's husband, which seems to faintly reject us, which is very unfavorable to the next action, everyone accepts the order of the suzerain to subvert the Yan Kingdom, and now it is an important moment, and it can't go wrong. ”

The eight people in front of him, all of them are from Zheng Guo, twenty years ago he accepted the order of the head of the Han family to lurk in the Yan State court, after twenty years of hard work, these people almost controlled the Yan State government, not only held important positions, but also cultivated many cronies in the Yan State, not to mention raising private soldiers.

After years of ups and downs in the sea, the eight of them eliminated their political enemies, and with the support of Zheng Guo, they basically destroyed the economy of Yan State, which can be described as a complete moth.

"Yong'an Hou's milk stinks before it dries, even if he has the ability to reach the sky, he has no soldiers, no generals, no money and no food in his hands, what can he do to me. Although Zhao Shide has many protégés and former officials, he has been suppressed everywhere and cannot reverse the situation. However, the emperor has recently recruited 80,000 soldiers, and he has to pay attention to it!

The eight of us joined forces with 40,000 private soldiers, and it was originally easy to kill the dragoon guards and subvert the Lin dynasty, but now, we are at a disadvantage in an instant, and if we want to peak again, I am afraid it will be quite difficult. Master Wei Yan, slammed his fist on the table, blew his beard angrily and glared, so he didn't say angrily.

Although the Yan Kingdom is good, it is not home after all, I thought that the strength was almost gathered, and I could launch a coup d'état, destroy the Lin Dynasty, and return to my hometown with glory, but things suddenly changed, and the eight people who fought were caught off guard.

Indeed, when the first eight people came to Yan State, Yan State was still strong and strong, with nearly 300,000 people who dared to fight, with the eight people controlling the government and constantly reducing military spending, the economy of Yan was controlled by eight people, the people were not able to make a living, and they could not afford to raise the army at all.

If it weren't for the emperor recruiting 80,000 recruits, the eight families joined forces, and 40,000 private soldiers were enough to strangle the 30,000 dragoons of the Gongwei Jingshi, not to mention, after a fierce battle with the Rong people, the dragoon guards were less than 10,000, but unfortunately the opportunity was fleeting in the blink of an eye, and the eight people did not have time to deploy, so Lin Xiao recruited 80,000 troops, breaking the pattern of the two sides.

"Wei Yan, you are also making a big fuss about this matter, what about the little emperor recruiting 80,000 soldiers, the treasury of Yan State is empty, and even the only remaining 100,000 taels of silver were used by Zhao Shide for disaster relief, even if the little emperor temporarily has the support of money and food seized in the Rong clan, but raising soldiers is a bottomless pit after all, no money and no food, can he draw bread to satisfy hunger.

In fact, this matter is also a good thing for us, wait for the time being, and when the emperor has no money in his hands, we only need to find someone to provoke a little, and the soldiers who can't get their salaries for a long time will definitely provoke a mutiny, but it is not easy for us to take advantage of the fishermen and lead the troops into the palace. "As the head of the eight, Han Fang is resourceful, insidious and vicious, and he is not a faint person in the court, otherwise, how would King Zheng send him to subvert the Yan Kingdom.

And he was very confident, first of all, the eight of them divided most of the treasury income of the Yan State and buried it in their respective mansions for later use. Secondly, the eight people secretly controlled the economy of Yan Kingdom, and a lot of money flowed into their pockets, what he didn't know, Lin Feng had no money and food, how could he dare to train soldiers, isn't this the rhythm of death?

"Haha, in this way, we can only stand still for the time being and wait for the reality." Someone laughed, and the smile was very sinister.

"Yes, hold your ground and wait for your time." The Korean side stroked his mustache and said categorically. "The little emperor brought back the money and grain in the Rong tribe, all calculated by me, at most two months, at the beginning of July, at the end of September, the little emperor is afraid that he will be strapped for money, there is no silver to pay the military salary, at that time, let's wait for March, when the year passes, if the little emperor can not pay the military salary, the soldiers have no money for the New Year, hehe, then it is the best opportunity to shoot, what do you think?"

"Wonderful, wonderful." An old man with a sharp beak and monkey cheeks, clutching a white beard, looked full of ambition: "However, Lord Han, at present, the eight of us must ensure that one or two pieces of silver cannot flow into the little emperor's pocket, otherwise, this plan will not only fail, but will make the little emperor's power grow, and it is almost impossible to peak the Yan Kingdom." ”

"Don't worry, Lord Shi, not a single copper coin will flow into the little emperor's pocket." Wei Yan's face was gloomy, and his face was not very good-looking, "Not only will the money not flow into the little emperor's pocket, but I will also write to the Taiwei, striving to cause some friction on the border between Yan and Zheng, and consume the money and grain of the Yan country. ”

"Hahaha, hahaha, Lord Han is treacherous enough!"

The sound of laughter rippled in the secret room, and when it finally quieted down, the Shi Daren's excited face showed a little sorrow, looked at the seven Han Fang, and said, "There is something, has Han Daren noticed it?" ”

"What's the matter?" The smile made Han Fang red, and he took half a sip of the teacup, diluting the joy.

"I don't know where it is recently, a new wine and new salt have flowed out, forming a big sensation in the small circle, I don't know if a few adults have heard of it, I was fortunate to buy a few jars, the taste is very good, once this wine circulates on a large scale on the market, it will have a big impact on our Zheng Guo's wine!"

"Oh, there is such a thing, two days ago, someone brought two jars of wine, saying that it tasted good, but I haven't had time to drink it yet." Han Fang was stunned, Zheng Guojiu is famous all over the world, there are a lot of Zheng Guojiu stored in his mansion, in his opinion, no matter what new wine, there is no Zhengguo wine taste, at this moment, hearing Shi Fangxing talk about it, he couldn't help but be surprised.

Wine occupies a pivotal position in Zhengguo's economic income, once Zhengguo wine is impacted, I am afraid that it can only be like the Song State and the Shu Kingdom, and begin to sell grain, but the profits of the two are completely incomparable.

At present, Zheng Guo is at the end of the reform period, and he is expanding his army on a large scale, which requires a lot of money, food, and wine, and there must be no problems.

"Lord Shi, have you found out the source of the new salt and new wine? This matter is not trivial, you must not be careless, if the new wine and new salt are from the hands of the people, you must force the recipe over, otherwise, the new wine will impact the interests of Zheng Guo, and the sect master will not forgive everyone. Han Fang asked anxiously.

Shi Fangxing shook his head silently, his face was a little weird, "This new wine and new salt have not been circulating in the market for a long time, but the new salt will soon occupy the Yanjing market with its low price and crystal shape, not only the nobles eat it, but the people are also eating it, compared with the old salt, the new salt is called snowflake salt."

The new wine is also widely circulated, but the inferior wine, the taste is not flattering, and the dealer is in vain to relieve the fatigue, but the high-end wine is called Xinghua Village, the taste is strangely good, the price is ridiculously expensive, it is even more expensive than Zheng Guogong wine, but the Yanjing clan is vying to buy it, and it is almost out of stock.

After I learned about it, I sent the dead soldiers to track down the source of the wine, but unfortunately I only knew that the wine merchants were all local merchants in Yan Kingdom, and if I wanted to dig deeper, I couldn't dig out the root cause. In order to obtain the recipe, I also ordered the dead man to go to a few liquor merchants late at night to coerce, but who knew that several batches were sent in a row, but no one came back, so I felt that this matter was very strange, and I did not dare to act rashly. ”

"Yes, it seems that the other party has been prepared, Lord Shi doesn't need to investigate this matter anymore, I will send someone to send a letter to the sect master to find out if there is a family that has made new wine and new salt. Otherwise, if the family does it, we will act rashly and will be retaliated against, and for the time being, we must keep our heads in obscurity and not attract anyone's attention. The Han side learned the details and was silent, with a bad premonition, but he couldn't say the reason, so he could only hand over the matter to the family.

The next day, the palace of Jinluan.

The ministers knelt down, An Heng shook the dust, and said excitedly with his throat: "If there is something to start, there is nothing to retreat!" ”

For many days, Lin Feng went to court in a fancy way, often showing impatience, the ministers had long been accustomed to it, everyone knew that if no one did anything, Lin Feng would immediately disperse and leave, and it would not be surprising to think about it today.

It's a pity that the situation seems to be different from the past, the courtiers have no one to do, but Lin Feng didn't leave in a hurry, took a sip of tea to moisten his throat, glanced at the ministers, and said excitedly: "Ladies and gentlemen, recently, I have been in the palace for a long time, and I am upset, and I plan to prepare to go south to play on the same day, and the major affairs of the DPRK and China will be handed over to you to take care of. ”

The court was silent, no one came out to obstruct it, the ministers knew that the emperor was playful and didn't like to stay in the palace, at this moment, it was not surprising to hear that Lin Feng wanted to go south to play, but Lin Feng ran a little far, but the eight people on the Korean side lowered their heads and laughed secretly, hoping that Lin Feng would leave immediately.

"Your Majesty, the court is in chaos and the treasury is empty, think twice!" In the silence, Zhao Shide stood up and stopped him without thinking.

Within two months, Zhao Shide spent all his energy on disaster relief, exhausted, and deeply realized that the Yan government was erosive, not only spent all the silver in the country's inventory, but also raised millions of silver taels from wealthy businessmen to barely appease the people. At this moment, Lin Feng was untimely to sort out the government affairs, but he went south to play, the treasury couldn't get the money, not to mention, there were still many things that Lin Feng needed to deal with urgently, and Lin Feng was afraid that it would get worse when he left Yan Kingdom.

He originally thought that Lin Feng would rule the country with peace of mind after returning from the Rong clan, but who knew that it would become even worse, and even the capital could not tolerate him, but instead went south to play, which really made him sad.

"Lord Zhao's words are wrong, the ancients said, ten thousand books are not as good as traveling thousands of miles, the emperor is going south, not only traveling thousands of miles, presumably there must be something to be gained on the road, we as courtiers, not only should not be blocked, but should be vigorously supported, so that the emperor is happy, the treasury is not much, we as courtiers, even if we smash the pot and sell iron, we should also make up funds for the emperor." Han Fang secretly chuckled, stood up, and confronted Zhao Shide.

The two are political enemies of each other, but at this moment, it is not to suppress Zhao Shide, he has a deeper plan, and he is worried that he has no chance to get rid of Lin Feng, didn't the little emperor go south to play, okay, then go south. Since you don't think the capital can accommodate you, then never come back, even the corpse will be left outside.
