Needles can be heard in the main hall.

Because the ministers in the main hall are not stupid, now they know that this is the issue that the political affairs hall, the Privy Council, the six Shangshu, the chief officials of the ministries and the princes are concerned about, because this is related to the newly crowned King of Northern Liao, which is the real reason why the Nine Emperors, Ji Qingchen, can continue to be arrogant. If you don't find Princess Dream, you'll be cut off and imprisoned, and you're still arrogant!

But in the face of Wang You's inquiry, Wang Ji of Northern Liao stared at the Ministry of Rites without squinting, and asked very calmly, "What if this king says that the case has not been solved until now?" ”

Wang You's face twitched, and when Ji Qingchen asked him so rhetorically, he didn't know how to answer for a while. Because this treatment of Ji Qingchen still requires Emperor Yan to speak, he can't overstep his bounds, his words can only play the role of a medicine primer.

"Naturally, I want to cut the lord and go to the palace to think about it!" Emperor Yan said with a smile. Seeing Ji Qingchen's determined look, he knew that this kid had a play.

Sure enough, I heard Ji Qingchen cough and replied to Emperor Yan, "Father, Erchen has found Princess Dream last night, and now she is arranging for her to rest in Erchen's mansion." It's just that the poisoning case and the kidnapping case have not yet been solved, and the murderer and the mastermind behind it have not been identified. ”

The ministers in the main hall were shocked, with a frightened look on their faces, looking at Ji Qingchen like a monster. Regarding Ji Qingchen's actions last night, they already knew about it, but they only knew that the newly powerful king of Northern Liao sent troops to loot casinos and brothels, and personally copied Jiang Guifang, embezzled 50,000 taels of silver from Jiang Guifang, and went home to sleep, which is the reason for their impeachment this morning. But I didn't expect that in the middle of the night, the king of Northern Liao, who sent troops around to rob a lot of money, said that he had found the kidnapped dream princess last night, how could they not be surprised, how could they not be afraid......

"Being able to solve the case and find Princess Dream in two days is already a great contribution to you." Dayan said happily, "I won't pursue your domineering behavior last night, the silver you looted is all the property in the name of the Changle Gang, so it should be regarded as a reward for me to give you and the Xiaoqi Battalion two great achievements in two days!" However, since the person has been found, you don't have to worry about this case, just hand it over to Dali Temple, the Criminal Department and the prefect's yamen. As for Princess Dream, the pavilion is no longer safe, and it is inconvenient for her to stay in the palace, so let her stay in your mansion for a few days. ”

"Your Majesty! Don't—"

"Father! Don't—"

The two people who spoke out were Prime Minister Pei Wenju and Northern Liao Wang Ji Qingchen.

"What's wrong? Pei Aiqing, what's wrong? Emperor Yan asked knowingly, ignoring Ji Qingchen's objection.

"Your Majesty, Lingnan wants to marry Prince Meng to a prince under His Majesty, this is the agreement between His Majesty and Bai Zhiquan. Now His Majesty and Bai Zhiquan have not yet determined which prince they will marry Xu to, so they rashly live in the Northern Liao Palace, I'm afraid-" Pei Wenju said, but seeing that Emperor Yan's face was a little displeased, he didn't say what he said later.

"Let her stay for a few days first, and then let her move the palace after you and Bai Zhiquan have finished discussing the major affairs of peace between the two countries, and determined the princess who is close to each other and the prince who is married." Emperor Yan said.

"The minister understands!" Emperor Yan said that Pei Wenju no longer argued, because at this moment, he seemed to understand what Emperor Yan meant, and his heart was relaxed for a while, but he glanced at Ji Qingchen with a little regret.

Wait to retreat from the dynasty and return to the house.

Bai Xiangcheng hurried to the study and reported to him the details of last night's operation.

Let Princess Dream live in her own mansion, the intelligent Ji Qingchen also faintly felt the deep meaning of Emperor Yan's move, so he was a little bored, and said to Bai Xiangcheng, "Tell me the result." ”

"Uh-" Bai Xiangcheng was stunned for a moment, and immediately came back to his senses and said, "The result is that we have raided the Changle Gang's property this time, and we have obtained 100,000 taels of gold, 1.5 million taels of silver, 30 million taels of copper coins, calligraphy and paintings, jewelry, jade, and jade three boxes. ”

Seeing that Ji Qingchen was silent.

Bai Xiangcheng continued, "Equivalent to silver, about 20 million taels of silver. ”

"You said that a small Changle Gang, it has accumulated for decades and can save so much property?" After listening to Bai Xiangcheng's report, Ji Qingchen was not carried away by the amount of money, but had a suspicion. However, he knew one thing clearly, his father must not have known that Lu Dao had confiscated so much silver last night, 20 million taels of silver, which was one-twentieth of the treasury of Dayan, and he didn't think that if his father knew that Lu Dao copied so much silver, he could still reward himself so generously.

Of course, the treasury that Ji Qingchen is talking about here is only the treasury of the Dayan Dynasty, not the private treasury of the Ji royal family.

Otherwise, with the background of the 800-year-old dynasty, the Great Yan treasury is more than just a little money.

This is because the treasury is full, and Emperor Yan privately moved the money in the treasury to the fourth treasury, anyway, the world is his own, who can say anything?

Bai Xiangcheng was silent.

"How much property does your Bai clan have now?" Suddenly, Ji Qingchen asked Bai Xiangcheng a very abrupt question.

"Not counting the foundation of the Northern Capital, in terms of the property of King's Landing, the number of Xiangcheng Zhilu Dao is about 40 million taels of silver!" Bai Xiangcheng replied.

"Twice the money we seized last night?" Ji Qingchen said lightly.

Compared with the 800-year-old family, these 40 million taels of silver are indeed not much. Of course, this does not include the property of the Northern Capital Mansion, where the Bai clan is based, and the Bai Xiang City in King's Landing.

"What does Your Highness mean?" Bai Xiangcheng seemed to sense what Ji Qingchen wanted to say, so he asked in disbelief, "The property under the name of this Changle Gang is not owned by the Changle Gang, but by someone else, or maybe it is still one of the Seven Great Families?" ”

"Otherwise, why do you think we went to great lengths to copy his family? This king is not short of money, and neither are you. Ji Qingchen sneered, "This time, I thought that through such a method, I wanted to force out the main messenger behind the scenes of the Changle Gang, but I didn't expect him to be so calm, and the 20 million taels of silver were taken away by this king, and he didn't even gnaw a word." Now all that remains is to find out what Mo Chai said about the Changle Gang military master who is deeply relied on by Situ Zhengtang. ”

Bai Xiangcheng was shocked by Ji Qingchen's strategy, and after a long time, he whispered, "What about these two million taels of silver?" ”

"You leave one million taels to settle the people under the confiscated Changle Gang property, give them a way to live, and send the rest to the palace!" Ji Qingchen said lightly.

He doesn't value money at all.

Because he understands a truth, only with power can you accumulate wealth, but if you have money, it does not necessarily mean that you can get enough power, and the power that can be bought with money is not real power.

Bai Xiangcheng was ordered to leave.

Ji Qingchen, who pondered for a while, summoned Zhang Rang and Guo Quanquan to the study, told Zhang Rang about this amount of money, and asked him to manage it properly, saying that if he could use this money to make money, let Zhang Rang let go and do it boldly, and specially allocated 300,000 taels of silver to Guo Quan, so that he could speed up the training of the "iron coat", and specially allocated 300,000 yuan to Zhang Rang, so that he could speed up the establishment of the internal factory spy agency.

Since discovering that Zhang Rang's talent did not belong to Guo Quan, Ji Qingchen separated the "iron suit" from the inner factory, and let Guo Quan and Zhang Rang lead respectively, one inside and one outside, coordinate with each other, and supervise each other.

The two were ordered to leave.

He summoned Huang Taiji to the study again.

The current Huang Taiji and his four hundred white flag elite cavalry have now been changed to shotguns, in addition to the war horses, their weapons and armor have been replaced with things of the same grade as the Great Yan Praetorian Guard, this combat effectiveness is much stronger, and the name has also been changed to the White Cavalry Battalion. However, it was stationed in Ji Qingchen's Northern Liao Palace, not the Xiaoshan military camp. It can be said that he became Ji Qingchen's first batch of captive disciples after being crowned the king of Northern Liao.

When Huang Taiji came to the study, Ji Qingchen was writing, and when he saw the resolute Beirong general, Ji Qingchen said in a kind tone, "No need to be polite, sit by yourself!" ”

"Yes!"

Huang Taiji was still a little restrained, his mentality was not flattened, and he put himself in the position of a general, but he still sat on a chair with the order.

"In two days, it will be the end of the month, and then the Xiao Cavalry Battalion will have a battle with the pikemen of Xu Zhen, the prince of Xishu, with your judgment, what do you think is the chance of winning this battle?" Ji Qingchen said slowly. No matter how busy he was, he still didn't forget the battle he invited Xu Zhen.

"Taiji has never seen the pikemen of Western Shu, but he has seen Chen Chong's elite of Western Shu, and he has seen the battle between the Xiao Cavalry Battalion and the Iron Sword Warriors of the Eastern Wilderness. With equal strength, I am afraid that the cavalry battalion has only a 30% chance of winning if it defeats the pikemen. Huang Taiji carefully said every word, not exaggerated, not praised.

"Do you want to add the White Horse Battalion?" Ji Qingchen asked lightly. But when these words fell into Huang Taiji's ears, it was not just as simple as the wind and clouds, the Xiao Cavalry Battalion was Ji Qingchen's henchman, he knew the Dao, if the White Cavalry Battalion and the Xiao Cavalry Battalion were allowed to participate in the war together, wouldn't this mean that the White Cavalry Battalion had the same weight as the Xiao Cavalry Battalion in the hearts of His Royal Highness the Nine? Huang Taiji couldn't believe it, because it had been less than three days since he surrendered Ji Qingchen with the four hundred Beirong elite cavalry, and he didn't think that the young king of Northern Liao in front of him would trust him so much.

"You don't believe it?" Ji Qingchen smiled faintly, "There are 200 guards in the palace now, but there are 400 people in your white cavalry battalion, and all of them are elite soldiers in a hundred battles, you said that if this king doesn't believe in you and doesn't value you, will you leave an elite like you in the mansion?" Do you dare to keep you in the house? Isn't this king afraid that when you wake up in the middle of the night, 400 of you will be killed at the king's bedside? ”

"Your Highness—" Huang Taiji was moved.

"This is what the king wants to say to you, but it is something that you need to understand. If you and the 400 White Cavalry Battalion don't solve this mental problem, you will just be a group of murderous weapons, what use does this king want? Go down and think about it yourself! Ji Qingchen said with emotion.

"Also, you and Zhang Rang will receive tens of thousands of taels of silver and send them to the brothers of the White Cavalry Battalion!" When Huang Taiji was about to go out, Ji Qingchen said again.

Sent to the brothers of the White Horse Battalion!

Brothers!

Brothers!

When these words floated into Huang Taiji's ears, when these two words slashed at his heart like a powerful axe, he was shocked, he instinctively stopped outside the door of the study, stopped talking, and strode away.

The speaker has no intention, but the listener has a heart! Ji Qingchen, who was immersed in calligraphy, never thought that it was his words today that would allow him to have an iron cavalry that did not belong to the Xiao Cavalry Battalion in the future, so that he would be able to save his life several times in the future wars.
