Chapter 224: Counting is Counting
Regarding Bai Qianning's concept, Zhan Qianche also agreed very much. Killing should never be a way to achieve an end, and it would be best if there was a more peaceful way to avenge the concubine. Moreover, Bai Qianning is now pregnant, and if there is another war, it seems that it is not safe enough to take her with her or where to send her.
Therefore, after the discussion between the two, they decided to take Zhaojia Village as a starting point and began to vigorously develop commerce, they wanted to use commerce to destroy the Yan family first, and then monopolize the country's commerce and manufacturing step by step, and at the same time put tens of thousands of soldiers under Zhan Qianche into the merchants of various states and counties, and use the commercial system to cover up the military system.
After careful planning, then Zhan Qianche began to contact the various ministries and sort out the characteristics and development direction of the entire Ye Kingdom, while Bai Qianning began to plan how to build a business empire that was enough for night.
Many successful industry cases in modern times can be used for reference, with the seeds of space, grain shops can definitely be opened, and the same is true for pharmacies and restaurants.
Three days later
Everything has been planned, in order not to arouse Zhan Qianqi's suspicion, Bai Qianning decided to plan everything and move all the business to the bright side.
Therefore, early in the morning, Bai Qianning asked Agarwood to drive a carriage to send her to Jincheng, and she wanted to use business as a bargaining chip to enter the palace to negotiate with Zhan Qianqi. In order to ensure her safety, Zhan Qianche asked Bai Qianning to bring herself, along with Bai Shao, Zhou Wu, Mu Yan, Ye Tan, Forsythia and others, who had just been ordered to come to Chechi County, into the space to prevent accidents.
Zhan Qianqi didn't expect Bai Qianning to really come back, and after listening to the report, he immediately ordered someone to bring her into the palace.
Above the main hall, Bai Qianning pretended to be angry, saluted Zhan Qianqi, and said in a slightly questioning tone: "Your Majesty, where did Yan Yuan's old puppet send Yan Moze?" I have searched all over Chechi County and have not seen half of him, I came today to ask the emperor to help me ask the old man whether he wants to keep his youngest son, or the business empire he created single-handedly. If he refuses to hand over Yan Moze, then I can only destroy his Yan family with my own hands to relieve my anger. ”
"Destroy the Yan family?"
Zhan Qianqi looked at Bai Qianning's immature and thin body playfully, his eyes were full of doubts but expectation. Perhaps out of curiosity, even if he felt funny, he couldn't help but ask Bai Qianning, "You mean you plan to ruin the Yan family's industry?" Do you know that the Yan family has more than just a few shops in Chechi County, almost every city in my Ye country has his Yan family's property, even if I, the emperor, occasionally need to win over the Yan family, although you have some ability, but you can't gnaw on the bone of the Yan family. ”
Listening to Zhan Qianqi's words, Bai Qianning was so surprised that Zhan Qianqi already had some trust in her, otherwise he wouldn't have heard that she still had the leisure to 'popularize science' with her when she wanted to shake the country's economic pillars.
Therefore, Bai Qianning continued with confidence: "I dare to say such a thing, naturally I know something about the Yan family, the Yan family has more than 4,700 grain shops, more than 1,600 restaurants, as well as more than 17,400 silk villages, timber shops, and medicine shops. ”
Bai Qianning said this, the expression on Zhan Qianqi's face gradually changed, and he finally began to face Bai Qianning's words, straightened up and leaned forward and asked her, "What are you going to do?" ”
He prides himself on being smart, since Bai Qianning personally came to tell him his plan, it means that Bai Qianning must have something that needs to be done for her, and in return, Bai Qianning will also give him some benefits, and this benefit is in addition to the elixir.
Therefore, although as the king of a country, he can have whatever he wants, Zhan Qianqi is still quite curious about what Bai Qianning wants to negotiate with him.
And Bai Qianning listened to him ask, so she opened her mouth according to what Zhan Qianche taught her in advance: "The Yan family has relied on the emperor's protection to develop over the years, but Yan Yuan has cultivated thousands of hidden guards in the rivers and lakes regardless of the imperial court's fears. The emperor and Yan Yuan have known each other for so long, so they naturally know that Yan Yuan is a person, if they are allowed to dominate the Ye family like this, he will try to plot the throne in a crooked way. At that time, they only need to cut off the economic lifeline of the imperial court and monopolize military grain, grass and medicine, even if the emperor has 100,000 soldiers and horses, this battle will definitely be lost. ”
Listening to Bai Qianning's analysis, Zhan Qianqi once again refreshed his perception of Bai Qianning, and couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "You little woman, you really have a bit of power. You're right, this is also my heart disease, but according to the current status of the Yanjia, even I am extremely difficult to shake, let alone you. ”
"How about we make a bet? If I open a hundred restaurants within three months, the emperor will arrest Yan Moze and send it to me, and if I destroy the Yan family within two years, the emperor will give me Weizhou as a vassal state. ”
"Want a vassal country? You girl has a lot of appetite! ”
Zhan Qianqi's face couldn't help but change slightly, but at the end he laughed again, and only asked: "You keep saying that you want to eliminate my heart disease and weaken the Yan family, but in the end, you want to deceive me into a state?" How could I not settle this account? ”
"The vassal country is only, it is still under the jurisdiction of the Ye State, it does not need the imperial court to allocate funds, and it can pay tribute every year, this account is naturally earned by the emperor, the only thing you are worried about is that if I learn to cultivate my own power, it may threaten the imperial court, but this is exactly what the emperor does not have to worry about, firstly, I am just a little woman, not so ambitious, secondly, the jurisdiction of Weizhou is very small, the terrain is easy to attack and difficult to defend, and it is surrounded by many cities, but if there is a slight change, the emperor can send a few thousand people to let me be captured, if I really have the intention of rebellion, definitely will not want a place like Weizhou, so the emperor does not need to worry at all. ”
Bai Qianning analyzed Zhan Qianqi little by little, trying to dispel his concerns. And Zhan Qianqi was indeed moved, but he still had doubts in his heart.
"Since you have no ambition to subvert the imperial court, why should I give you a vassal kingdom?"
"This is just a condition of equivalent exchange, I do things for the emperor, work hard to pay taxes to the court, and eliminate the thorn in the side of the Yan family, I should get some feedback in the senses, right? Of course, if the emperor has concerns, then it's fine, but I definitely want to see Yan Moze, I don't know if the emperor has concerns about this condition? ”
Bai Qianning deliberately brought a helpless and contemptuous look when he said this, and there was still some self-deprecation in his words that he had found the wrong owner, Zhan Qianqi, as the king of a country, naturally couldn't bear such sour words and sour rain, plus that Weizhou was indeed not a place that could pose a threat to the imperial court, so he thought for a moment and said: "If you can really defeat the Yan family and replace it, Yan Moze and Weizhou I will give it to you together." ”
"Good! Deal! Please also ask the emperor to find Yan Moze's whereabouts within three months, but don't let my little woman's request be! ”
After Bai Qianning finished speaking, he withdrew from the main hall and left the palace with the guidance of the eunuch.
Zhan Qianqi looked at the back of Bai Qianning leaving, and had to look up at this little woman's courage and scheming, and at the same time he was a little more jealous.
He has always been like this, no matter whether it is a courtier, even a pillow person, it is impossible to fully gain his trust.
It's just that Zhan Qianqi couldn't help but think that it would be a good way for such a smart and talented woman to capture her sincerity and let her enter the palace to stay by her side and give advice for herself.
Thinking like this, Zhan Qianqi couldn't help but have a bewitching smile on the corner of his lips, and he called to the side hall: "Someone!" ”
Then two hidden guards came out of the side hall, saluted and worshipped in unison, and hurriedly followed Bai Qianning's carriage after receiving the order, and the more than ten hidden guards who were originally sent to follow were all withdrawn.
