"Disciple Master, the two million taels of silver you ordered have been sealed and loaded, and the convoy is temporarily on standby in the port warehouse area, may I ask what instructions Master has?" Qian Yucai, the elder of the Foreign Affairs Hall, did his work neatly, but in half a day, the things assigned by Li Bin had been done.

"This batch of silver taels will be escorted by the Four Seas Dart Bureau, and the Foreign Affairs Hall will not need to be escorted in person." Li Bin said lightly, with the status and influence of Futumen in the martial arts today, and the escort ability of the Four Seas Dart Bureau, Li Bin really didn't believe that anyone else dared to fight the idea of Futumen's silver taels.

"Disciple commands!"

There is a stupid thing to rob a lifeless flower, but no one in the rivers and lakes with a normal brain will do it. As for the enemies of the Futu Gate, strong enemies such as the Demon Sect, if Leng Aotian has the heart to rob them, no matter how much escort power the Futu Gate sends, it will be given away in vain, unless the head Li Bin personally suppresses the formation.

Li Bin entered Beijing this time, but he didn't want to waste time on the trip.

Before entering Beijing, Li Bin inspected the facilities and engineering projects under construction in Futumen to make sure that he had a good idea.

The construction progress of the rudder of the Futumen rudder in Xiqiao Mountain has been fully rolled out, and the main facilities of the rudder are under intense construction, and only part of the infrastructure necessary to ensure life has been completed first, such as wells, pools, water supply viaducts, and the living and commercial facilities of the attached market have been completed. The rest of the facilities are still under construction, and the feedback received from the person in charge of the craftsman estimates that it will take about two months to complete the rudder facilities in Xiqiaoshan in Futumen at the earliest.

The new facilities of the sect under construction in the main altar of the Futu Gate Feiyunding are progressing smoothly, and the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion has entered the final capping construction. The construction of the remaining new facilities, such as the granary, armory, and danfang, has passed the halfway point, and the completion period is just around the corner.

Everywhere in the Futu Gate is showing a scene of thriving development. However, Li Bin did not blindly become complacent and relaxed his vigilance. The ancestors "rely on blessings and misfortunes." Li Bin has never dared to forget the motto of "Be prepared for danger in times of peace", and has always taken it as a warning for himself to be a man and do things, and always spurs and reminds himself.

The business predicament that broke out in the capital money bank, on the surface, was insignificant, and even some of the elders in the Futu Gate were angry when they talked about it, "It's a big deal, let's stop playing money bank, close it and ask for it." Why is there no shortage of money in Futumen now, and the income from a trip to overseas ocean trade is enough for other famous martial arts sects in Kyushu to earn for decades.

However, as the helmsman of Futumen, Li Bin doesn't think so. There is an undercurrent behind the matter of the money bank. If one is not handled properly, or if the conflict is accidentally intensified, it will set off a monstrous wave in the Great Qi court and the rivers and lakes.

Li Bin always believed that the matter of Qianzhuang could not be dealt with excessively, so that the already very tense and tense situation of Daqi could get out of control, let alone blindly forbearance and retreat, so that the opponent could win Longwangshu. Inch by inch, step by step, so that the interests of Futumen suffered great losses and infringement.

Lingnan Futu Gate to the capital of Daqi. The straight-line distance is only more than a thousand miles, and Li Bin uses the Spiral Nine Shadows Light Skill to fly and rush with all his might, and it will only take a few hours to arrive.

Depart at dawn and sunrise. Before dusk and sunset, Li Bin was already drinking and chatting with Qi Xing in the mansion of the King of Chu.

Qi Xing, the king of Chu, was also stripped of his military power shortly after rescuing Dengfeng City and defeating the Fusang army. I returned to the capital to govern the government. In Qi Xing's words, the brothers who were ministers of the same dynasty were jealous and slandered behind their backs. Plot against. The old emperor's health has been getting worse recently, his energy is not as good as before, and his ears are soft. Qi Xing is also not worried about leading the army for a long time, and letting the court ignore political affairs, which will cheapen the prince and the eldest prince's party, if there is no containment and hindrance in the capital, Qi Xing, the regent of Chu, the court situation of the Great Qi Dynasty does not know what will be chaotic.

"Brother Li, I have also heard about the Futumen Money Village, judging from the information fed back by the subordinates I sent out to inquire about the situation, the mastermind behind this matter is not small, and the other party is also very careful and secretive, and it is difficult to follow the vine and collect definite evidence and clues." Qi Xing, the king of Chu, avoided the crown prince and did not call him by his name. However, from Qi Xing's demeanor and tone of voice, Li Bin could clearly feel that even the regent Chu Wang Qi Xing was quite embarrassed and helpless about Qianzhuang.

Qi Xing, the king of Chu, had tried to solve it before Li Bin came to Beijing, but he was still unable to do anything.

"Brother Li, in my opinion, you just shut up the money bank in the capital and don't leave others a chance to calculate."

"Otherwise, Your Highness. The greed in the hearts of the prince, the eldest prince and others is difficult to settle, today the money is closed, they are keeping an eye on the throne, as long as they don't achieve their goal for a day, they won't stop for a day, we take a step back, they will definitely take advantage of the situation to go further, until we have no way to retreat. ”

Li Bin's words made Qi Xing ponder for a long time, Qi Xing, the king of Chu, has a certain talent in politics and military affairs, but his personality is too honest and pure, and he cares about his flesh and blood, and many things are rather his own losses than quarrels with his brother.

"I know that His Royal Highness does not want or disdain to fight with the crown prince, the eldest prince and others, but the tree wants to be quiet and the wind does not stop, as long as the throne of Daqi is undecided for a day, this kind of struggle is bound to be endlessly entangled. I boldly say something unpleasant, with His Royal Highness's knowledge of the crown prince, the great prince and others, if the future of Daqi is ruled by one of them, will the people of Daqi have a good life? I'm afraid that even His Highness himself will no longer have a foothold in the Great Qi Imperial Court by then. ”

Li Bin spoke, and Qi Xing, the king of Chu, did not answer, but nodded slightly in agreement, agreeing with Li Bin's analysis. Qi Xing, the king of Chu, knows the virtue and conduct of the crown prince and the eldest prince King Jin, and it is okay to be a prince, but the harm is not too great, if he is the king and the emperor one day, the Great Qi Kingdom will overturn if it is not done well.

Seeing that Qi Xing, the king of Chu, bowed his head and was silent, Li Bin knew that Qi Xing was now entangled in his heart, so he immediately said decisively: "The matter of Qianzhuang, there is no need to worry about His Highness, I will deal with it myself, His Highness only needs to help me with the bottom." ”

"Brother Li, just let it go, everything in the court is me, I will never allow these people to be so unscrupulous!" The king of Chu Qi Xing clapped angrily and said excitedly.

Li Bin knew that the prince was not a good thing, let alone a fuel-efficient lamp, and there was a lot of in the crotch of his pants. As long as he concentrates on searching, Li Bin is confident that he should be able to find a way to deal with it.

After coming out of the palace of King Chu, Li Bin first went to Qianzhuang to find Uncle Liu to inquire about the current situation of Qianzhuang. From Uncle Liu's mouth, Li Bin learned that the situation of the money bank was even more embarrassing than expected, and the principal and silver deposits of the money bank had been maliciously defrauded and almost run out. In the huge underground bank of the bank, there is only one box of silver in one corner, and this only box of silver is all the current belongings of the bank! (To be continued.) )
