There is no doubt that Qin Gong is an alternative hero in this turbulent and turbulent world. A sober mind and far-sighted strategic vision are enough to compare with any imperial general. He seized the opportunity to seek what he needed from Emperor Xia, and after decades of painstaking management, he built the Qin clan into a behemoth that infiltrated every corner of the troubled world, and built a huge commercial empire that was not bound by territory.

Compared with Qin Gong, Yang Zhi is like a strong ant in front of an elephant. Like a toddler, he has just begun to plan his future. He is not short of confidence in this, all he needs is opportunity and time.

The Duke of Qin claimed that Emperor Xia could only treat him as a partner at all times, and the most critical one was that he controlled the huge amount of wealth, and not a penny was his. Yang Zhi was surprised, and the first thing that came to his mind was the 800,000 taels of silver that he had handed over to Qin Kongyun twice to invest in the Qin family. In the previous life, it was not uncommon for money-making maniacs who relied on illegal fundraising, could it be that Qin Gong also took this path?

"To put it bluntly, it's worthless, and I've been repeating two things for the past fifteen years: borrowing money and saving money." Qin Gong still smiled indifferently: "Borrow other people's money and save your own money." ”

Yang Zhi asked, "Borrow money?" Just like when I took a stake in the Qin family? ”

"Wrong. The 200,000 taels you invested in the Qin family before you moved to Chang'an is a unique special case. After the selection of the generals of the forbidden army, the one million taels that you and Xu Wenhan and Wei Feiyang handed over to Kong Yun to share in the Qin clan, I not only played the emperor truthfully, but also has not moved a penny so far. ”

Qin Gong said with a smile: "The only shareholder of the Qin clan is the emperor, but he is just using the power in his hand to buy shares, and any of the other powerful ministers and nobles do not have a single silver share in the Qin clan." Zhang San got it, and Li Si got it, whose money did this dividend go? The reason why the emperor supported the Qin clan was not to make money for others. Besides, the Qin family has a huge fortune in the world, if it is entangled with the powerful ministers and nobles in the court, what will the emperor think? This kind of thing is not beneficial to the Qin clan at all, so naturally I will not do it. Of course, the Qin clan will present a generous gift to all bodhisattvas every year. But that's a free gift to straighten out the relationship, not a dividend. ”

Yang Zhi thought for a while, and then suddenly realized: "That is to borrow money from the silver number and the money bank!" The emperor could not be suspicious, and the amount was so huge. No wonder it took fifteen years! ”

"You were able to realize the joints so quickly, so I didn't misunderstand you." Qin Gong was slightly stunned, and admitted safely: "Yes, my patience has always been very good. At the beginning, on the grounds of supporting the turnover, I used the property in the name of the Qin family as collateral to borrow money from Yinhao Qianzhuang. With the rise of the Qin family's fame. Debt repayment and credit are extremely important, and this is not necessary in the future. The 27 million taels were accumulated year by year, and there were more than 50 banks that undertook loans, most of which were in the territory of Great Xia and Southern Tang. Southern Chu has been fighting against Great Xia for many years, although there are some, but there are not many. As of the end of last year, the Qin clan had withdrawn 380,000 taels of gold! ”

Three hundred and eighty thousand taels of gold? Converted into silver, it is 30 million taels! The Qin family's initial mortgage was only the assets under his name, and later it was the brand reputation of the richest man in Great Xia, and even the national reputation of the Great Xia Dynasty!

The Duke of Qin used fifteen years to make the Qin clan the de facto central bank of Great Xia. The reason why Qin Gong said it was a dangerous situation. This is because the gold reserves of up to 380,000 taels are in his personal hands. As long as the emperor or his successor attacked the Qin clan, he would only get a seemingly huge empty shell, and the financial circulation system of the entire Great Xia Dynasty would inevitably be paralyzed as a result. No wonder Duke Qin said that it was both glory and loss, no wonder he was so confident that the emperor would not touch him for at least a few decades!

Yang Zhi was only in awe of Qin Gong before, but at this moment, he was already impressed. Gong Qin was right, the emperor would never have expected him to have such courage and courage!

I was stunned and sighed for a long time, and after my mood calmed down a little, I smiled bitterly: "You just said that you invited me to talk at night today to discuss cooperation, but you also said that cooperation requires money." Compared to the Qin family, I am not even a bare-ass child with nothing. How do you do it? ”

"Capital doesn't have to be silver. Even if you don't have it now, it doesn't mean you won't have it in the future. Qin Gong said calmly: "Now your weight in the emperor's mind, as well as the reputation of Wushang in the sky, which one is not your capital?" ”

He clicked on the 120,000 taels of IOU on the table and said, "Everyone in this world has a price. It's just a difference in high and low. With a lot of silver in hand, it is not difficult to hire some strong martial artists to act as thugs. To be honest, I'm not interested in your so-called earth-shattering martial arts. What you valued most to me at the beginning was this IOU that dared to knock on the Qin family's 100,000 taels of bamboo poles, as well as the business you did when you first went to Jinling to sell grain and coarse cloth. ”

Yang Zhi played with his words, and couldn't help but think: "Last year, the Qin family sent gold to Chang'an like Jinling. I always had a vague feeling that something wasn't quite right. According to the strength of the Qin clan, the escort force seems to be slightly weak. …… Did you do that on purpose? ”

"Exactly." Gong Qin nodded and said, "At that time, I even hid the emperor and Kong Yun together, and this matter is a long story. In previous years, the emperor asked the Qin clan to ask for money, at most three or four million taels, and never exceeded five million taels. However, at the beginning of last year, as soon as he opened his mouth to me, he asked for 8 million taels, which had two meanings: one was to pay tribute to the Turks and prepare for the destruction of the Tang Dynasty, and the other was to deliberately test the Qin clan. ”

Yang Zhi said incomprehensibly: "Interested in testing the Qin clan? The emperor has been dealing with the Qin clan for so many years, isn't it clear how much the Qin clan can bear? ”

Duke Qin said leisurely: "The emperor has opened the door of convenience in the past few decades, and although the Qin family has made a lot of profits, it is always limited. The emperor asks me for millions of taels every year, and if I don't find another way to make money, where will I get my 380,000 taels of gold? After the fall of the previous dynasty, the world was in turmoil, and few people noticed the benefits of overseas trade. Twenty years ago, I sent capable people to intervene, and gradually from small to large, I have gradually become independent of the rest of the Qin clan's industry, and the silver sent to Great Xia in the last ten years has come from this. ”

The Emperor was aware of this, but he was never able to free his hands. I also knew that I couldn't hide it from him, so at that time, I pretended to be difficult to shirk a few times before I reluctantly agreed, and it was not until the autumn of last year that I made up 100,000 taels of gold. If a large number of masters are dispatched to escort them, it will undoubtedly expose their strength too much. I also know that several princes have their own thoughts about the emperor's battle to destroy the Tang Dynasty. If the gold is taken away, at least in two or three years, the emperor will have an excuse to refuse, and the emperor's attention to the Qin clan will be distracted. ”

"I see." Yang Zhi said with a smile: "If this overseas trade delay for one more year, the Qin family will earn one more year." The huge amount of gold stored by the Qin clan must be on an island somewhere off the coast of Shandong, and you are sure that the emperor will not use me to destroy the Tang Dynasty, I'm afraid this is the capital of my partnership that you fancy you, right? ”
