Qin Gong was the most mysterious figure among all the people Yang Zhi knew.

After Yang Zhi's family moved to Chang'an, he was a neighbor of the Qin Mansion, and he and Qin Kongyun, the eldest son of the Qin family, were like-minded brothers. As long as Qin Kongyun is in Chang'an, the two see each other almost every day, and Yang Zhi's frequent visits to the Qin Mansion are as casual as his own backyard. Even so, it is rare to see Qin Gong in ordinary times. It has been nearly a year since he moved to Chang'an, and the total number of words he has spoken to Qin Gong will definitely not exceed ten sentences.

In Yang Zhi's impression, Duke Qin was always a half-new dark robe, and he was always a thin face with an indifferent expression, which was even more inconspicuous than those old masters in rural private schools who could only barely mix food and clothing. If you have to say what characteristics Qin Gong has, it can only be said that no characteristics are his characteristics.

Could it be that the people of the Qin clan have been secretly following him? Why did Duke Qin come to him in person at this time? Was it sent by the emperor? The servants of the Qin clan, who were ordered to invite each other, bowed to the two of them, and silently retreated to close the door.

"You may be seated." Qin Gong smiled faintly and said: "I don't like to be commensurate with people with official titles and titles, you have eight friendships with Kongyun, so I will still call you a virtuous nephew." It is not difficult for my Qin clan to find someone, and the virtuous nephew does not need to be stunned. ”

He spoke calmly, unlike other people of similar age who called himself an old man, and he did not have a word of self-humility on the scene. Although there is no hint of relying on the old and selling the old, people can't help but feel an invisible coercion.

Yang Zhi asked, "I don't know what happened when Duke Qin was looking for me here and now?" ”

Qin Gong said unhurriedly: "I don't intend to pretend to be mysterious and profound, but I just want you to gradually deepen your impression of the Qin Clan, because there will soon be a Yang Clan who is the same as the Qin Clan in Great Xia." This time I'm coming to you for both public and private reasons. One is to find you for the emperor, he is anxious to find you and go back to invite you to drink. Second, some time ago, I asked Mr. Xu to give you a message, please come over to the house. Before that, I would like to speak with you individually. No third person will know what we are talking about today. Unless I die, not even my son. ”

Yang Zhi asked obscurely, "...... The Yang family, which is the same as the Qin family? The emperor is in a hurry to invite me for a drink? …… What do you mean? ”

Qin Gong's words were astonishing: "In this turbulent and turbulent era where countries stand side by side, there are many people who want to fight for an emperor to do it." It's not hard to say, but it's not easy to say. If you don't want to be an emperor, no matter how capable you are and how much credit you have. It can only be Yang Zhi, not Yang. Since you don't want the emperor's gold medal, you have to become Yang. I have observed you for a long time, you have the ability to be an emperor, but you don't have the mind to be an emperor. It's only a matter of time before he becomes a Young. ”

The deepest secret buried in Yang Zhi's heart was originally a little vague, but Qin Gong pointed out his current situation and long-term plans for the future in a few words. Habitually flashed a lazy smile: "I still don't understand what you're saying." ”

"You can understand." Qin Gong smiled: "I'm not a person who is arrogant and arrogant, I never underestimate anyone, even called Huazi." Although there are many talents in the troubled times, it is difficult for ordinary people to make me look at them, and you and Mr. Xu happen to be two of them. None of my three sons are fuel-efficient lamps, but they are far from yours. I told them that my son can't be an official, but my grandson can. Only when they have figured out this verse on their own will they be qualified to speak like you and me. ”

"So you didn't let the second brother be an official? Why? ”

Qin Gong said unceremoniously: "To be an official in troubled times is to be a dog." Only being an emperor is a master. If you don't want to be a dog, you won't have to worry about rabbits and dead dogs. So far, the emperor has only been my partner, and you will soon become my second partner. Didn't you just ask, why is the emperor in a hurry to invite you to drink? Because he can only ask you to drink. ”

Yang Zhi was secretly frightened when he heard it, and said quietly: "You really look up to me, and the more you talk about it, the more mysterious it becomes." ”

Qin Gong took out Qin Kongyun's 120,000 taels of IOU again: "You made Kongyun willingly pay 120,000 taels outside Xinyang City that day, and I will follow suit today." You have the heart to be a dog, but you have no power to stand out for the time being, which is equivalent to a wild wolf that eats soft and does not eat hard. ”

"The flesh and bones in the emperor's hands have made countless hunting dogs obsessed and crazy. But there is no temptation in your eyes. He wants to use you and is afraid of you, and he has to guard against you. So there are some things that he will never trust you unless he has to, such as military power. What's the mystery of that gold medal? I don't have to say more, otherwise you wouldn't have shirked that day. The so-called Son of Heaven has no selfish affairs, but the only thing he can impress you at the moment is probably only personal relationships. The person who made the emperor treat him like this, you are not the first, I am. Back then, just like now he can only ask you to drink. He can only think of me as his partner. ”

He made it clear that he was treating others in the way of others, and every sentence was extremely explicit, but he always looked indifferent as if he were at home, and he talked slowly and eloquently. If Gong Qin is an old master in a private school in the countryside who barely eats, then Yang Zhi's current feeling is that he is quickly taking a seat with the role of a primary school student who can't read a few big characters, and his usual lazy smile is already a little embarrassing and far-fetched: "On the day of my wedding, no wonder the emperor said that he was a minister and a friend with you and the two old ministers!" Then do you think I should drink this wine or not? ”

Qin Gong's calm expression still didn't change: "There's nothing strange about this. Those two old guys are not ministers for the sake of ministers, in fact, Mr. Xu is now following their path, so they will win the respect of the emperor. You have the ability to take the head of a general in a million armies, but I have no power to tie a chicken, in fact, I have lived most of my life, and I have not even killed a chicken. But it is not contradictory that there are no fewer people who die at my hands than you kill. It's the same killing, you use brains and knives, I use brains and money. ”

"In this turbulent and turbulent world, mediocrity and stupidity are the ones who can't be emperors. The Emperor knows that you are smart, and he is not stupid at all than you. People in the world pay attention to courtesy and exchanges, and if he is less true, you will be a little more fake. Before you can become a Yang, this wine must be drunk, because drinking it is good for you. If so, what's the point of drinking with him? ”

Qin Gong's mind and vision were so thorough that he could almost squeeze oil out of the stone. The terrible thing about him is that he is a monster who has chopped the fox and the jackal together, but he has the garb of a rich pig. Not even sheepskin.

Yang Zhi has always thought that pretending to be forced is an extremely strong skill, and he only does it occasionally, asking himself is roughly equivalent to the level of a junior high school student. Like the god man in front of him, who pretends to be forced so thoroughly, he can be called a doctoral supervisor in the pretending world.

Yang Zhi suddenly felt very happy for the emperor. Of course, I'm glad for myself. Although Yang Zhi knew very little about the inside story of the Qin Clan, the Qin Clan was able to send up to 13 million taels of silver to Great Xia in less than a year, and the horror of his strength was evident from this. What makes Yang Zhi himself feel very ironic is that when he still has no idea about the details of the Qin family, it is no longer a day or two for him to secretly regard Qin Gong as an idol in his heart.

In front of a dark tycoon of this grade, it is undoubtedly unwise to prevaricate and cover up. Yang Zhi decisively tore off all the disguises that relied on guard: "Please teach me Duke Qin." ”

Until this point. There was a hint of a proud smile in Qin Gong Gujing Wubo's eyes: "I came to invite you to talk at night today, not to teach you, but to talk to you about cooperation." Of course, cooperation requires capital, in order to show my sincerity, I will first show you my capital. ”

The Qin clan has stood for decades as the richest man in Great Xia, and in fact Yang Zhi is both curious and quite puzzled about the reason.

"No matter how powerful the Qin clan is, after all, he is a businessman, and today we are in business. As the old saying goes: the world is bustling, and everything is profitable. The world is crowded, all for profit. Money is a wonderful thing! It can help the poor and the poor. You can also enjoy the glory of the world. It can turn brothers against each other, make fathers and sons enemies, drive powerful people like chess pieces, and serve heroes like cattle and horses. Two pennies can buy a bun, and twenty taels can be bought together with the bun shop. For example, what if it is two million taels? What about 20 million taels? ”

Qin Gong's few words are almost worthy of a practical version of "The Theory of the God of Money". Yang Zhi faintly understood the true meaning of Qin Gong's words, nodded and smiled: "Those who steal the hook will be punished, and those who steal the country will be punished." Two million taels can buy a city, and twenty million taels is enough to buy a country! ”

Qin Gong smiled: "You must feel very strange. Why did the Emperor treat me only as a partner for so many years? To put it bluntly, it is very simple, there are nothing more than three, one of which is, of course, to ask for what you need. The emperor needs money, a lot and a lot of money. But his Great Xia land is not very fat. Very unshaven. If the taxes are harsh, I am afraid that the people will be desperate and turn against him. And those nobles will not give it in vain, and the emperor does not want to be controlled by others, so he thought of making money by himself. I have no love for the flesh and bones in his hands, and I want to use him to make more money for myself. ”

Commercial monopolies facilitated by power often bring staggering profits. Yang Zhi's experience of this article in his previous life was too profound: "So the emperor is very relieved." You'd love to, too. ”

Second, Qin's industries are all-encompassing. For eye-catching hotels, teahouses, treasures, antiques, porcelain and silk, famous tea and wine, and many other industries, the operation is extremely high-profile. The related trafficking of goods and the operation of salt, iron, grain and straw are extremely low-key. According to your talents, it is not difficult to understand the reason. ”

Yang Zhi couldn't help but have a little more respect for Qin Gong in his heart: this is not only a matter of business acumen, the old master in front of him is a strategist with great strategic vision!

Qin's involvement in the industry is all-encompassing, and it has extended its tentacles to every corner of this turbulent and turbulent world. Although the operation of high-end consumption places and luxury consumer goods is very profitable and famous, it is not an indispensable necessity of life. Controlling the related logistics industry, not only is the information well-informed and the transmission is smooth, but also silently raising a private armed force hidden in the people! It is not so much a very low-key operation of salt, iron, grain and straw, but a very low-key grasp of the indispensable lifeblood related to the national economy and people's livelihood! Not to mention making a lot of money, I haven't forgotten to do this level of business, master!

"As I said just now, the emperor is not stupid than me at all." Qin Gong said meaningfully: "Previously, we had been in peace for decades, and he would not easily touch me for at least a few decades after that. But as the Great Xia kingdom became stronger and stronger, even I would never believe it if he sat back and watched my Qin family dominate, not to mention that he was the emperor. ”

Yang Zhi said with a playful smile: "Sometimes the emperor doesn't kill people, it's not that he doesn't want to, but he can't." ”

"There will come a time when he doesn't just want to, but he can!" Qin Gong said with a faint gaze: "People have no long-term concerns, but they must have near-term worries." So this third is that I spent fifteen years laying out a dangerous situation of both prosperity and loss. The Emperor didn't expect me to have the courage to take such a dangerous presence, nor did he realize the stakes, and by the time he realized that it was too late, he had to do nothing in vain. I have been friends with the emperor for many years, and I know his temperament best. He won't let that go! That is why I invite you to talk at night today, and I am unreserved, lest I be ominous. ”

Yang Zhi couldn't help but ask: "What is this dangerous situation you have laid out?" ”

Gong Qin replied to the question and asked, "Do you know what the total price of the property under the name of the Qin family and the silver taels used for operation and turnover is?" ”

Since ancient times, the concept of Chinese wealth not being exposed is deeply rooted in the bone marrow. As a new chaebol personally cultivated by the emperor, the total value of the assets under the name of the Qin clan and the silver used for operation and turnover is not only the top secret of the Qin clan, but also the top secret of Great Xia. Yang Zhi really couldn't guess, and shook his head blankly to say that he didn't know.

Qin Gong smiled leisurely: "Except for me, even the emperor doesn't know, you are the second person in the world to know this number: the total price is twenty-seven million taels." ”

The amount of wealth held by the Qin clan is so huge! Xu Wenhan was appointed to the cabinet to manage the country's money and grain, and occasionally mentioned to Yang Zhi that the tax income on the official books of Daxia was only a little more than 10 million taels a year in the past ten years. For the first time, Yang Zhi had such a real understanding of the term "rich and rival country"!

If there was no financial support from Jincheng and the noble clans in Guanzhong, where Great Xia relied to make his fortune, and if there was no blood transfusion supplement from the Qin clan, the emperor would have been clamoring for a war to dominate the world, and I am afraid that it would only last two or three days before it would have been extinguished.

When Yang Zhi hadn't recovered from his shock, Qin Gongjian's next sentence almost didn't make him fall on the spot: "Hehe, but the two seven million taels are not my own!"
