Tang Yifu's words seem very superficial, but after thinking about it carefully, Ji Qingchen understands that what he said makes sense, because he went to the border town to defend the purpose of controlling the military power of a border army, if he arrived in the border town this time and did not get the military power, why should he take such a big risk?

It's just that now for Dayan's military power, Ji Qingchen is very weak in this regard, because although he is the deputy general of the Hussar General Long Xiang Army, his control over the Long Xiang Army is almost zero, because no one dares to guarantee that when Bai Jin is still the main general of the Long Xiang Army, someone will be able to get the control of the Long Xiang Army from his hands.

Secondly, needless to say, the blue wolf cavalry in Ningzhou has the Dayan spear Liu Donglou, and this elite cavalry is now almost the private army of the Liu family.

As for the Reebok battalion stationed in Yizhou, it is all foot soldiers, it is indeed an elite force, and it is an elite existence that can compete with the Yi people's back soldiers. However, there are only more than 30,000 people in the Reebok battalion, and they are firmly in the hands of the main general Jiang Rengui, so it is very big to want to get this brave foot soldier.

The only thing left is the Northern Liao Army stationed at Yanmen Pass!

It's just that the current power within the Northern Liao Army is very powerful, like the main commander of the 60,000 Black Eagle Cavalry in the Northern Liao Xing Camp is the Great Yan God Gong Xiang Ziyu, he is the subordinate of the late Prince Ji Chengqian, and the elite of the Northern Liao Army, the chief of the horse lance cavalry Tie Gewei formed by Ji Chengqian back then is Meng Li, who was born in Ji Chengqian's guard, and the main general of the 40,000 foot soldiers is Fang Wanqi, but Fang Wanqi is the confidant of Wei Quanxing, the head of the Northern Liao Xing Battalion, and Xu Zizhang, the deputy head of the Northern Liao Xing Camp, is a student of Prime Minister Pei Wenju, Xu Zizhang's younger brother Xu Dachun was also a fierce general in the Northern Liao Army.

Therefore, the current Northern Liao camp is very chaotic, and if you want to get a place in the Northern Liao camp, I am afraid it is not as simple as the above in the three armies of Long Xiang, Blue Wolf and Reebok.

This made Ji Qingchen a little hesitant.

Because he really thought about going north to Liaozhou, to develop his own strength and strengthen himself. But he is not a blind person, he doesn't want to go north to Liaozhou recklessly, and then return to King's Landing.

Tang Yifu saw that Ji Qingchen was silent in thought, so he waited quietly.

Half loud, Ji Qingchen, who had been thinking for a long time, asked, "What does uncle mean?" ”

"What the teacher means is that as long as His Highness doesn't stay in King's Landing, there is nowhere to go." Tang replied.

"What about Mr. Tang's suggestion?" Ji Qingchen asked, because he knew that since his own Ye Qingzhi recommended Tang Yifu to him, he felt that this Tang Yifu was definitely not simple, and he must have extraordinary talents.

"Your Highness, Shaw is not thoughtful enough and is only good at the way of power, so I can't give any pertinent advice to Your Highness in this regard." Tang Yifu said, paused for a moment, and continued, "But I know a little bit about the management methods of money, if His Highness is short of money, Yifu can find a way to solve it for His Highness." ”

Listening to Tang Yifu's explanation, Ji Qingchen understood the characteristics of the one in front of him, that is, he is not good at strategic layout, he is only proficient in the way of power and tricks, and he is not good at conspiracy, but the conspiracy is absolutely no problem, and then listening to Tang Yifu's words, it seems that he still knows how to make money. So Ji Qingchen opened his mouth and asked, "What is Mr. Tang's business methods in terms of money?" ”

Tang Yifu was deeply satisfied when he heard Ji Qingchen ask, so he smiled slightly, "Has Your Highness ever thought that the Shangzhou Wei clan has been away from the temple for hundreds of years, but why can they still be ranked among the seven great families of Great Yan and affect the situation of the Great Yan Dynasty?" ”

"Because they have money." Ji Qingchen replied affirmatively.

"What about the specifics?" Tang Run Fu continued to ask.

"This-" Ji Qingchen thought about it for a moment, shook his head slightly and said, "This king can't think clearly." ”

"Yes, just like His Highness just said that they are rich, but the real reason is that they collected the people's money and lent the money to the people, which is equivalent to closely linking themselves with tens of millions of people in Dayan, Shangzhou Wei is very smart, Your Highness thinks that if Shangzhou Wei is unlucky, the people's own money will be in crisis, will they agree to let Shangzhou Wei have such a situation?"

"You're talking about the bank?" Tang Yifu explained simply, Ji Qingchen suddenly thought of the money village that involved borrowing money, and he thought about what Tang Yifu said carefully, and felt that it was really such a truth, because he found that Shangzhou Wei's had opened a money village in every state and county in Dayan, and after hundreds of years of operation, the money village opened by Shangzhou Wei's had a good reputation and won the hearts of the people of Dayan, and it seemed that the people of Dayan now like to store their spare money in the money village established by Shangzhou Wei. If I think that one day the imperial court really wants to move the Shangzhou Wei family, I am afraid that I will also have to weigh it once there is a problem with the money in the money village, involving the money stored in the money village by the people of Dayan, I am afraid that it will have to be a big headache!

"That's right! It is because of the existence of Qian Zhuang that the Shangzhou Wei clan has been able to stand in Dayan for hundreds of years without falling, and it can also compete with the other six major families. Tang Yifu said affirmatively.

Seeing that Ji Qingchen was silent.

Tang Yifu said, "This is something that Shaw has been studying before following the teacher, but he was studying by himself before, and figured out the way of Shangzhou Wei's business, but he couldn't figure out how to solve this hidden problem for Dayan. ”

"Oh——?" Ji Qingchen was taken aback, he stared at Tang Yifu a little incredulously, wanting to see if the scholar in front of him, who was less than thirty years old, was telling the truth.

Because through Tang Yifu's explanation just now, he has clearly realized the huge crisis hidden behind the prosperity of Dayan, that is, the Shangzhou Wei clan has unknowingly established a large enough and very powerful interest group, if the current Dayan is not vigilant and does not pay attention to this aspect of the problem, I am afraid that as long as it takes decades or hundreds of years, maybe Dayan's country will change hands.

"The teacher has a life-saving grace for Shaw, and he is His Royal Highness's own uncle, so Shaw doesn't want to hide anything from His Highness, so tell His Highness the truth. In fact, Shaw had an elder brother named Tang Yirong before, who was ten years older than Shaw, and it was he who discovered the way of Shangzhou Wei's money village management, but-" Tang Yifu said this, his face was a little gloomy, he paused, and continued, "It's just that ten years ago, when the eldest brother figured out the way of Shangzhou Wei's business, he came to King's Landing and found the prince who had just returned to King's Landing from Northern Liao, and told the prince about this problem, but I didn't expect it-"

When Tang Yifu said this, his tone was choked, and he could only pause for a moment to clean up his emotions before continuing, "I didn't expect that year, not long after the eldest brother met the prince, he died of an unknown illness in King's Landing, and after the death of the eldest brother, Shaw was also assassinated and chased by unknown assassins many times, and it was at that time that the teacher saved Shaw's life. ”

After listening to Tang Yifu's narration, Ji Qingchen's face had already turned pale. Because he understood the meaning of Tang Yifu's words, Tang Yifu's eldest brother must have been persecuted to death by the Wei family, and at the same time he thought of a more terrible question, that is, since Tang Yifu's eldest brother told this secret to the crown prince Ji Chengqian, who returned to King's Landing, and the prince Ji Chengqian died in front of Yanmen Pass after returning to Northern Liao, is it also related to the Shangzhou Wei family? No matter how calm Ji Qingchen was, when he thought of this, his body couldn't help but shiver, and dense beads of sweat oozed from his forehead unconsciously.

"Zhang Rang—" Ji Qingchen suddenly roared.

"The minions are here!" Zhang Rang immediately appeared in the study.

"It is strictly forbidden for the palace to kill all the people who appeared within a hundred meters of the study when the king was talking to Mr. Tang tonight." Ji Qingchen ordered. The secret that Tang Yifu told can be described as earth-shattering, if it really spreads, it will stir up a thousand waves with one stone, and maybe it may also affect the stability of Dayan, so he can't help but be ruthless.

"No!" Zhang Rang replied and left the study without thinking.

"And what about the sir's solution?" Ji Qingchen asked cautiously. Now for the young scholar in front of him, in addition to admiration, he can only admire, and the rest is still admiration.

"A tooth for a tooth, blood for a blood." Tang Yifu said these eight words coldly, which shows that he also hates Shangzhou Wei's family.

"Can Mr. Tang make it clear?" Ji Qingchen frowned and said, when it comes to Dayan's Jiangshan Sheji, he doesn't dare to play with it.

"Even if we also set up a money bank, use our own money bank to contain the money village of Shangzhou Wei, and then slowly uproot the strength of Shangzhou Wei's family." Tang Yifu calmly analyzed, "But in addition to the need for a lot of money, there are two problems that need to be met. ”

"First, our money bank must have the support of His Majesty, or the support of the Great Yan Treasury in terms of money and decrees. Secondly, before our money village has grown, we must not let the Shangzhou Wei clan know that this involves His Majesty and the imperial court, and we must not let them be vigilant. Tang Yifu said cautiously.

"This-" Ji Qingchen frowned a little and asked puzzledly, "If this king sets up a money village, won't he doubt that he can go to Shangzhou Wei?" ”

"If someone else set up a money bank, the Shangzhou Wei clan would definitely have some suspicions, and would think that this might be privately instructed by His Majesty to target them. But His Royal Highness is different, as long as His Royal Highness wants to set up a money bank, the Shangzhou Wei clan will not suspect that His Royal Highness is not good for them, and he must think that His Highness has other plans. Tang Yifu said calmly.

After Tang Yifu's reminder, Ji Qingchen thought about it carefully, and it really made sense.

Because he felt that as long as he set up a money bank, with the current situation of Dayan's princes fighting for the throne, Shangzhou Wei would only think that the purpose of his money bank was to make money, so that he could have enough money to compete for the position of prince. At the same time, they naturally would not have thought that there was the participation of Emperor Yan or the imperial court, because who would have thought that Emperor Yan would support his son to set up a money bank to make money, and then deal with his other son?

Thinking about this, whether what Tang Yifu said was right or not, or whether he could really solve this potential crisis, Ji Qingchen, who had been pondering for a while, wanted to give it a try, because even if he failed, he felt that it was nothing, at least he could still earn a sum of money for himself? Then he said to Tang Yifu, "The second problem you said is not difficult to solve, this king will go to see his father tomorrow, and my father will not refuse." It's just about money - the Shangzhou Wei clan has been running a money village for hundreds of years, and the wealth they have accumulated is comparable to the Great Yan treasury, and this aspect is supported by the emperor, and this king can't do it! ”

"We don't need much money at the beginning, the key is to build credibility and convince the people of Dayan that our money bank is not inferior to that of Shangzhou Wei's. Secondly, a large amount of funds will be needed as reserves in case of a run on Shangzhou Weishi. Tang Yifu said, "Therefore, Your Highness doesn't have to worry about money, you only need 50 million taels of silver in the early stage." ”

"Fifty million taels of silver?" It's a fluke that Ji Qingchen was prepared, but he couldn't help but gasp, not that Tang Yifu wanted the fifty million taels of silver, but that he needed so much in the early stage, doesn't that mean that he needs a lot more in the later stage? Now he only has 20 million miles of silver in his hand, which is still what he obtained by raiding his family and exterminating his family, if he opens a money bank, he will need so much money in the future, do you have to copy it again or your home?

"Yes!" Tang Yifu nodded, because 50 million taels of silver is indeed not a small amount, this is Dayan's income from a year's field tax, which is a little more than one-sixth of Dayan's annual tax.

"Mr. Tang, in the future, you will live in the king's mansion, and I will give you an answer to this matter after the king enters the palace tomorrow to meet his father!" Ji Qingchen did not immediately agree to Tang Yifu's request, but he did not refuse.

Tang Yifu also knew that the matter of Lu Dao Qianzhuang was very important, even if there was Ye Qingzhi's support in it, it was impossible to make Ji Qingchen agree in one bite, so he nodded slightly and said, "Thank you, Your Highness, then Yifu will bother!" ”

"Zhang Rang! Send someone to arrange for Mr. Tang to rest! Ji Qingchen said to Zhang Rang.

"Yes." Zhang Rang received the order, and then led Tang Yifu, who said goodbye to Ji Qingchen, out of the study.

When the two left the study, Ji Qingchen was the only one left in the study.

At this time, the candlelight flickered, and the study seemed very quiet, quietly recalling the conversation with Tang Yifu just now, thinking of the crown prince Ji Chengqian who died in Yanmen Pass ten years ago and the destruction of tens of thousands of Dayan elites, Ji Qingchen's thoughts were uncontrollable, and then a touch of murder flashed in his eyes, and he seemed to have made up his mind.
