In the past, there was Zhenbei Hou and then Jingnan Hou ate duck in Quande Building, and they all went straight to eat as soon as they entered the city, and the fame of Quande Building can be said to have reached its peak.

But in recent days, the business of Quande Building has been very deserted.

Because the ducks in Quande Building are sold very expensive, ordinary people can't afford to eat them like this, and the rich and noble families don't have the heart to eat them these days, and they even ...... I'll never be able to eat it.

"What time is this?"

Zheng Fan, who was sitting on the second floor of the Quande Building by the window, asked.

"Back to Lord Xiao Zheng, this is the fourth batch."

"Father-in-law Zhang, I said when we first met, don't call me Lord Xiao Zheng."

"What do you call you, Xiao Fanzi or Xiao Zhengzi?"

The sixth prince happened to open the door and walked into the box, took off the hat on his head and threw it to Gonggong Zhang on the side.

He was wearing a coarse robe, looking like a poor scholar, with a lot of mud and grass mixed with his clothes, and the knees were earth-colored.

"What are you doing?" Zheng Fan asked.

"Go to the grave to cry, I gave my mother and my grandfather the incense land temple they built, it was bulldozed the day before yesterday, I went over in disguise and cried for a while, alas, I died of thirst."

The sixth prince reached out and picked up the teapot in front of him and drank it directly to the long mouth.

".........Gooo

After drinking a steam, the sixth prince wiped his mouth, handed the teapot to Grandpa Zhang beside him, and said:

"Refill the pot of tea."

Zheng Fan immediately reminded Zhang Gongdao:

"Change the teapot."

"You dislike me?"

"Nonsense."

"I'm sad."

"Then it hurts."

Father-in-law Zhang took the teapot and went down.

"Don't be too upset." Zheng Fan opened his mouth to comfort.

"It's okay, I've been secretly building that temple for a few years, and I'm just preparing to let my father push it one day."

The sixth prince reached out and picked up a piece of peach shortbread from the basket and took a bite.

"So?"

"That's it, you think, if you want to punish a person, you naturally have to take away his precious things to have the effect of punishment, if you are greedy for money, then steal your property; If you are greedy for power, then degrade your officials;

If you don't have anything, the board will have to hit you to work on your bones, so ah, you just don't have anything to like, and you have to make a few of them for the baffle, and you have to be 'taken' by the top when you need to, and when you're done, you have to do something sad, so that there is a sense of accomplishment that will punish you. ”

"Is this okay?"

"It's okay, see, down there."

Zheng Fan turned his head to look down, this was the fifth group of prisoners who had been escorted from this street by the forbidden army.

"The subordinates of the Jiang family, the squire of the military department, the main family has been beheaded all over the house, and these subordinates have to be dispatched."

"The Jiang family?"

"Well, you were transferred from Hutou City to Cuiliubao, it is the relationship of the Jiang family who left, his youngest son owes a lot of silver in my gambling house, although I am an idle prince, but the prince's money is not good."

"Power and money trading, is it so straightforward?"

"It's straightforward to be open."

"That's right."

"Moreover, the Jiang family has a mountain in Huwei's industry that is said to be a coal mine but is actually a copper mine, but I have been greedy for a long time, and his family's property has been confiscated, and I will have someone buy it from the inner government in a few days."

"You've already figured it out?"

"That's right, who called him the Jiang family unkind, I want to buy it with silver, but they don't sell it."

Zheng Fan nodded,

It happened that Father-in-law Zhang refilled a pot of tea,

Zheng Fan thought in his heart while pouring tea:

If this is a game called "Father's Kindness and Filial Piety",

Ten years ago, it was Emperor Yan who abused Xiao Liuzi to death.

But Xiao Liuzi is also a smart person, and he quickly figured out the routine and began to deliberately brush copies of this game in reverse.

"Aren't you afraid that Your Majesty will know?"

Your Majesty must know that you have tricked him and used him as a swordman, hehe.

"My father's day is full of opportunities, how can he have so much time to see what my son is doing every day, it is nothing more than when he thinks of me, he asks casually, just like I ask Father-in-law Zhang now:

Wei Zhonghe! ”

Father-in-law Zhang immediately bent down and said:

"The minions are here."

"How is Cheng Jue doing?"

"If you go back to Your Highness, Your Highness Sixth secretly went to the ridge outside the city today, and cried on his knees for a long time."

"Smack!"

The sixth prince clapped his hands and shrugged his shoulders at Zheng Fan,

Road:

"That's it."

Zheng Fan picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea, this is Eagle Tea, just listen to its name, the taste is not the best in tea, and it has nothing to do with preciousness.

But in Beijing at this time, drinking eagle tea is just in line with the atmosphere.

"My father won't ask anymore, he still has a lot to do, the strategy of waging war against the Qianguo, whether to kill or degrade or exile the gate valve, a lot of things are pressed on my father.

As long as my father doesn't ask anymore, Wei Zhonghe won't say it anymore, even if the secret spy department in Wei Zhonghe's hand knows that I took the Jiang family's copper mountain through the inner mansion, he still won't say anything, oh no, he won't take the initiative to say it.

It's not that Wei Zhonghe will be disloyal to my father, but because this is his duty to be a slave. ”

"It's exciting."

Zheng Fan commented.

That's what a high-end player is.

Of course, there's one more point here.

Zheng Fan noticed that the six princes must have done it on purpose,

After he came here, Gonggong Zhang called himself "Lord Xiao Zheng", and the six princes used "I" in front of him instead of the previous "Lonely".

Half a month ago, there were some rumors about things in the palace.

"But there's one thing I'm curious about, what do you want so much money for?"

"Ahem, cough, cough........." The sixth prince coughed when he heard this, pointed at Zheng Fan, and his face was a little red.

Father-in-law Zhang immediately stepped forward to help the sixth prince pat his back.

After the six princes got their way, they pointed at Zheng Fan and said:

"You conscienceless!"

"Hiss......"

This style of painting is wrong.

"Do you know how much money Lone has invested in you since he started funding you?"

"A lot."

Cuiliu Fort was built by someone who spent the money of the six princes, and the armor in the fort warehouse and the horses raised outside were also sent through the channels of the six princes.

A lot of stuff is the kind of contraband that you can't get even if you have money.

"I'm curious, when you were in Willow Castle, every time I wrote to you and the letter you replied, didn't you read it?"

"Yes."

Cuiliubao tradition, the blind man reads the letter and the blind man replies to the letter.

"No, you certainly haven't seen it, do you know, in addition to these things that I can see, how much silver I have smashed in those places that I can't see?

On the fortress system on the border of Qianguo, how much internal response did I use silver to smash for you? ”

"Forehead ........."

Nima, the blind man didn't tell me.

"I know what you want."

The sixth prince glared at Zheng Fan, sat down again, and said:

"You know, although I seem to have a lot of business houses and industries, I really haven't saved too much money on hand."

"Do you make money out of money?"

Zheng Fan had never done business in his previous life, and the comic studio was not a serious business, so he could only guess that the silver earned by the six princes in business continued to be invested in the expansion and upgrading of the industry.

"Let's take the Jiang family's coal mine as an example, it is true that I took a coal mine from the Inner Government, but before, I sent a batch of coal to the Yinlang County garrison at half the price in the market."

"Oh, it's not easy."

It's true to make a lot of money, but you paid a lot of protection fees, who told you to be such a father.

"The most infuriating thing is that I know what the court is going to do next, but I can't bear to dare to attack the land and grain!"

Zheng Fan reached out and took an orange from the fruit bowl and peeled it;

In my heart, I actually know very well the grievances of the six princes.

To do business, you have to look at the direction of the wind, you have to follow the policy, if you can predict or receive the news in advance, you will basically ......

The sixth prince saw the adultery between his father and the Marquis of Zhenbei early,

Also clear,

This is a play, a play for Dayan Gate Valve.

But he can't rely on his political acumen to pave the way for his business, at this moment, the iron cavalry of the Zhenbei Army is raging wildly on the Great Yanmen valve, the butcher's knife is raised, and the blood is flowing like a river.

These gate valves, inherited for less than 100 years, are embarrassed to go out to say hello, basically hundreds of years old leeks, these leeks are almost fat to the roots of old trees.

With a knife, the fields, grain, antiques, gold and silver, etc., will be squeezed out, and Emperor Yan will naturally eat the big head, but the impact of this measure alone is great, if there is a big business bank that can prepare in advance, this wave will also be able to eat a wave of fat behind the court.

But the six princes couldn't do that.

Jinshan Yinshan is in front of him, like a girl at the door of the red tent throwing flattering eyes at you and shouting: Master, come in and have fun.

But you still have to learn from the old pedant, while chanting "Don't look at indecency, don't look at indecency", hunched over and ran away.

"Make money, just to kill boredom, don't sit in that position, you earn more and earn less, it's all cheap for your brother, perhaps, and your brother."

The sixth prince rolled his eyes at Zheng Fan and said:

"You don't even let go of my underage brother, want to get separated?"

"Instinct, instinct."

"It's not that I'm reluctant to give up those money, I'm in a hurry, I used to always think about the long stream, a little surplus, and a little bit of relationship to avoid trouble for myself in the future.

But when I really used the money, I found that this money mill was really overwhelming. ”

"I'll get a few more good things, and you can sell them for money."

"This is natural, if it weren't for your soap and perfume business, I would really have lost my money, but it's good below, it's inconvenient to make money in Yan Country, and it will be much more relaxed to make money in Qianguo."

Zheng Fan suddenly remembered the empire that the sun never set back then, and he also had a foreign gun in one hand and a banknote in the other, and he opened a company to make money while fighting.

The cooperation between himself and Xiao Liuzi really feels that way.

Yes, the most profitable business in this world is always ———— to rob him!

"Hey, I've heard about it, it seems that the Marquis of Zhenbei also appreciates you."

"Then have you heard that Zhenbei Hou has set me any conditions?"

The Sixth Prince shook his head.

Naturally, it was impossible for this matter to come out, because there were only four people present at the time, including Zheng Fan.

Qingshuang is by the side of the Marquis of Zhenbei, like a righteous son, but his true identity is one of the seven general soldiers of the Marquis of Zhenbei.

plus a town of Beihou and Jingnanhou,

If even the words of the time were delivered,

Then there is only one possibility,

That is the rumor that Zheng Fan released himself for the sake of hyping himself.

But obviously, Zheng Fan will not be so boring.

"The Marquis of Zhenbei said that I am from Beifeng County, and I should join the Zhenbei Army, and I am willing to promote me to be a general, and then allocate 1,000 iron cavalry of the Zhenbei Army to me."

"What about the Marquis of Jingnan?"

"Silverwave County Cuiliu Fort garrison."

The Sixth Prince nodded and said:

"You're right, it's better to be a guard."

"yes, I think so too."

If this news spreads, others will definitely think that Zheng Fan is so stupid that he is bubbling.

But only a small silver coin understands the mind of another small silver coin.

"Zhenbei Hou Mansion, six towns, 300,000 Zhenbei troops, seven general soldiers, alas, the system is strict, after you go in, to be honest, you have to continue to be a grandson, and you have to talk about seniority, even if you make more contributions, you have to move step by step, but the higher you go, the more difficult it is to move."

Zheng Fan nodded.

Seven general soldiers, six "Li" surnames, unless he Zheng Fan also shamelessly changed his name to "Li Fan";

But it's too ugly to eat, and it's a bit embarrassing.

At the same time, there is also the mysterious little marquis.

Entering the Zhenbei Army is like entering a strict new system, and how much support you get from this group also means how deeply bound you are by this group.

"Guarded by Cuiliu Castle, alas, my uncle is really optimistic about you, hehe."

Cuiliubao was garrisoned, and the official position was not moved, and it was not said how much Jingnan Army would be transferred to you.

seems to be very stingy, but what is revealed in it is a great indulgence.

War is coming soon,

To develop, to grow, to have people, to soldiers, to power, to status, to fight for yourself, to grab yourself!

Just like the small military head dock fort in Beifeng County, how much fat you can eat depends on your own ability.

Jingnanhou did not forcibly ask Zheng Fan to enter his system, but gave Zheng Fan a chance, if you are really ambitious and willing, then you can mix up a new warlord yourself.

The national war will open, the stars will shine, some people will fall, and some people will rise again, except for the Zhenbei Army and the Jingnan Army, it is impossible to say that there will be a new army.

In the past, when defending the country, the two marquis of the north and south were enough, but then, it was not enough.

"My uncle has been back to Yinlang County for a while, how long do you have to delay?"

"Ming'er will leave."

Zheng Fan was left behind to collect the body of the Tian family.

The coffins in the capital are really not enough, and the people in Yizhuang have long been busy.

In the capital alone, I don't know how many people have been killed, and it is estimated that more people will die in the places outside the capital that belong to the real power of the gate lords.

To tell the truth, Zheng Fan is really not worried that such a large-scale purge will collapse the country, since Emperor Yan dares to launch, he must be prepared, such as replacing the reserve officials who have been purged, the rise of the cold door is an irresistible momentum, and among the gate valves, the book of extermination is also divided into prisoners, and there are also some people who have always been close to the royal family and are willing to take the initiative to bow their heads and cut their wings, and they can still be promoted and reused.

Turmoil is inevitable.

But unless Dayan is defeated in the war against Qian, the Dayan court is still as stable as Mount Tai.

There is a saying in later generations, don't think that you are important, everyone will turn the same when the earth is less.

The Gate Valve Clan does maintain all aspects of the Yan Kingdom, but the Yan Kingdom army is firmly in the hands of the three giants, and the Gate Lords really can't make waves.

It's the destruction of the system, the operation of the imperial court, etc., at most there will be some problems in a short period of time, but it will not be a problem soon.

Three-legged toads are hard to find, but two-legged people who want to be officials are all over the street.

In the historical time and space that Zheng Fan is familiar with, there are many examples of people who can enter the Central Plains and establish a dynasty with a population of hundreds of thousands, so how did they play around?

What shakes the foundation of the country, what foundation is corrupted, and what governs a big country is like cooking a small fresh, it is just because the emperor and the rulers at that time had to sit on the chair themselves while trying to repair the chair, so they seemed cautious.

But on Yan Guo's side, the three giants stand together.

Zheng Fan thought of Qin Shi Huang, after Qin Shi Huang destroyed the Six Kingdoms, he didn't rest, and continued to do things, books and books on the same track, and then burned books and pit Confucianism, etc., one by one, it was quite capricious.

But as long as the ancestral dragon reigns for one day, those ambitious guys and the remnants of the six countries will not dare to make a mistake, and the power of the ancestral dragon can make all the abnormal movements desperate.

At this time, Emperor Yan, Marquis of Zhenbei and Marquis of Jingnan, when they stood together, all the opposing forces in Dayan were paper tigers.

But as soon as Zulong died......

"What are you thinking?" Xiao Liuzi asked.

"The thought that I will go back tomorrow and not see you for a long time makes me feel a little uncomfortable."

"............" the Six Princes.

"But it's also good, if you are a soldier, you should fight against a soldier to be interesting."

Continuing to be a knife to slaughter the gate valve, Zheng Fan is tired of it, and it doesn't conform to his aesthetics, this is his only hypocrisy left in this world.

"Actually, I envy you too, when you return to Cuiliu Castle, you will be free."

"Don't be envious, what if you are unfavorable and you are directly swallowed by the dumplings made by the cadres? Don't think that fighting a war is easy. ”

"This, according to the word you said before, is it called anti-milk?"

"You're so good, you can remember what I said."

"Milk, this word, I feel more and more charming, these days, often ponder repeatedly, only to find that there are a lot of truths in it."

"It's dirty."

The sixth prince stretched out his hand and pointed to the somewhat gloomy sky outside the window,

coughed a few more times,

Obviously, I went out to play a crying scene today, and I caught a cold.

Of course, how much of this is acting and how much of it is true feelings, only the six princes themselves know in their hearts.

said it very freely, but in the face of the bulldozed land temple on the ridge, could he be very happy in his heart?

"Zheng Fan." The Sixth Prince raised his teacup and continued:

"What they have is now."

Zheng Fan picked up the teacup and touched it with the sixth prince, secretly thinking that the little sixth prince would also start to produce golden sentences after staying with him for a long time, and continued the next sentence:

"What we have is the future."
