Seven days later, in the evening, in the study of the Assassin's Mansion in Lanzhou City......

"I didn't expect that Yan Liqiang, a little kid, really had a little means, and the run crisis of the Zhong family's money village was resolved by him like this!" Gu Tongan, who was half-lying on the soft collapse, looked at the latest issue of the "Han Imperial Times" in his hand, and said in a nonchalant tone, "But if it is resolved, it will be resolved, this time I also want to take the opportunity to knock the Zhong family to make the Zhong family honest, if I really want to provoke the Zhong family, I am afraid that the consequences will not be easy to control, the Zhong family has a big business in the northwest, and it is not so easy to deal with......"

In front of Gu Tongan, the assassin of Lanzhou, it was still the strategist Yun Beat who he relied on as his confidant.

Yan Liqiang this time made a big fanfare to let the world's first factory to the Zhong family's money village deposit 10 million taels of silver at once, Yingwei County Bianji there is a new wool trading market also let the Zhong family's money village into shares, accounting for two percent of the shares, everyone knows that the wool trading market in the future is the chicken that lays golden eggs, the Zhong family's money is not only in the market this time, but also all the transactions in the market are designated is the cash silver and the Zhong family money bank issued by the silver ticket, the silver ticket of the money outside the six states in the northwest is now difficult to cash, are a little difficult to use, these two things add up, and then pass"Han Imperial Times" publicized it like this, and everyone knew that the Zhong family's money bank was rich, so the crisis of the Zhong family's money bank was naturally resolved, and no one would run on it again!"

"This is 10 million taels of silver, just take it out, that kid is really rich, now in the entire northwest, I'm afraid I can't find a second one who is richer than that kid, all the net worth I have accumulated for so many years as an official is not as much as what a workshop under him can take......" Gu Tongan's tone was full of envy, jealousy and hatred.

"The world's first factory is making money, as well as the manufacturing bureau and Yunyan, these money-making transactions are in the hands of Yan Liqiang, and now the wool of the Gulang grassland will soon be mastered by him, not to mention the northwest, in two years, the entire Han Empire is richer than him, I am afraid it will not be able to find it, he started this time, causing a lot of wealthy families in the northwest to be red-eyed, everyone follows suit, there are not many products in the northwest, and the main income of many wealthy families in the northwest actually depends on the land rent, so the field is valued, and now everyone knows that if you want to make money, you can't rely on the land alone, you have to rely on factories and workshops, rely on machines, rely on woolIn the past two years, the entire northwest has set off a wave of opening factories and workshops, and even our countryside in Lanzhou has opened a steam mill and steam sawmill, speaking of which, this trend is really learned from him!"

"You're right!" Gu Tongan shook the "Han Imperial Times" in his hand. Let's talk about this thing, I really didn't see that this small newspaper has such a great use, and I didn't pay attention to it, but now I found out that this thing has a great role at a critical moment, it is more effective than the announcement of the government and the palace newspaper of the imperial court, whoever masters this, who can influence public opinion, as soon as this newspaper reports the good news of Zhongjia Qianzhuang, everyone thinks that Zhongjia Qianzhuang has no problem, and the run on the trend will disappear invisibly at once, it is more effective than anyone else, I think we will also engage in this thing in Lanzhou, we can also get a copy out, you remember it, you are responsible for this matter, find a few people, it should not be difficult, all the money is spent, you go to Steward Gu to support ......"

"Yes, I made a note of it, this Yan Liqiang is indeed the first to open up the atmosphere, like newspapers, water, fire, fire, and four-wheeled carriages, all of which are of great use, and we can keep an eye on him a little more in the future and see what new things he comes up with!"

"I remembered when you said this, didn't our craftsman battalion have imitated the water and fire machine from the manufacturing bureau a few days ago, I heard that it also made a boat that can run on the water, I pretended to be sick in the house these days, and I didn't go to see it, I heard that the water and fire wheels of the manufacturing bureau under the command of the yellow-haired boy are now running on the river, pulling people and pulling goods, I don't know how effective our craftsmen are to create water and fire machines and water fire wheels?"

"Ahem, this ...... Although our craftsman battalion also imitated the water and fire engine, and also imitated the water and fire wheel, but the effect was not very good, and the water and fire engine broke down frequently, and the water and fire engine was tested twice, and it didn't run far on the water before it lay down......"

"It's all ordinary rice buckets, they only know how to reach out to me and ask for money, and let them make something out of it!" Gu Tongan was angry all of a sudden, " It doesn't matter if they can't compare to Yan Liqiang, after all, Yan Liqiang is a master craftsman, and there are few people in the Han Empire who can compare to him, but can't even those rice buckets be compared to the craftsmen of the manufacturing bureau under Yan Liqiang, those craftsmen in the manufacturing bureau used to be just people from the Pingxi Craftsman Battalion, and they have a fart ability, they are all craftsmen of the Yizhou Craftsman Battalion, how can they not compare to others, and they can't do such a simple thing as buying things and copying them?"

"Your Excellency, please calm your anger, this craftsman's skills cannot be improved in a day, and those craftsmen in the manufacturing bureau, they have been taught by Yan Li, and their abilities may have long exceeded the level of the county-level craftsman battalion, and I heard that all the rules in the manufacturing bureau are different from the outside, even the tools used are different from the outside, and now the manufacturing bureau has also absorbed a large number of top craftsmen from Gyeonggi in the northwest who have fled, and the strength has long been different from what it used to be......”

Hearing his henchmen speak for those craftsmen, Gu Tongan's anger dissipated slightly, but he was still very angry, "Then give them a little more time, just one year, if they can't reach the level of the Manufacturing Bureau after a year, everyone in the Lanzhou Craftsman Battalion and others will all ask for punishment and punishment, I don't believe that they can't even imitate such simple things, what are they going to do......"

The strategist named Yun Zhu glanced at Gu Tongan a little helplessly, and couldn't say anything more, "The things in this craftsman camp can be put aside for a while, I think this time Qi Yun County's publication in the "Han Imperial Times" about the establishment of Gulang Province and Black Capricorn Province, as well as the recruitment of talents and martial arts, is really worthy of the attention of adults, that Yan Liqiang is not small, if you want to deal with him, you have to make plans as soon as possible......"

"Let him toss around, I have a way here, once and for all......" Gu Tongan's voice suddenly became cold, his eyes flashed with a dangerous light, and a sneer appeared on his face, "I don't believe that I can't find anyone else to do it......"

"My lord, this matter must not be done!" Yun Zhuo's voice was lowered suddenly, and he hurriedly dissuaded," I opposed it when my lord sent someone to contact the underworld before, and now I still don't approve of it, my lord and Yan Liqiang are both important ministers in the northwest, and the dispute between the two of you is a political dispute, so the Jinju court appointed Yan Liqiang as the king of the northwest, and my lord can disagree with this result, and he can also use his own means, but if the lord uses such means to deal with Yan Liqiang, then the nature of this matter will change, once this matter is revealed, the consequences are unimaginable, and now except for the White Lotus Sect, other ......"

"You don't need to ask about this matter, I will naturally deal with it!" Gu Tong'an coldly interrupted the words of his confidant and strategist, with a pointing expression on his face, " It's good for Yun to beat you, but sometimes it's not ruthless and decisive, if you can save the northwest by killing one person, why not, I think the timing is right at this time, if Yan Liqiang is assassinated, the suspicion of the White Lotus Sect or the Shatu people is naturally the greatest, who will suspect me, and as soon as something happens to that yellow-haired child, the current Pingxi Wangfu must fall apart, and then we can just fish in troubled waters, what's wrong, why bother playing with him all day long like now, and care about what he has done all day long......"

"Adult ......"

"Okay, I'm a little tired and want to rest, Yun beat you down......" Gu Tongan waved his hand impatiently.

"Then the adults should rest early......" Yun Zhu looked at Gu Tong'an, sighed, and could only retreat and leave the study!

Seeing Gu Tongan leave, Gu Tongan shook his head, leisurely picked up the teacup in front of him, blew it gently, took a sip of tea, and then said to himself, "Pedanc, the officialdom of the Han Empire, where is there such a clean thing you think, without a knife in your hand, how to make a history of assassination, this is what Your Majesty said to me back then......"

"You're right!" An abrupt voice rang in Gu Tong'an's ears so flat.

Just in an instant, the hairs on Gu Tong'an's body stood up, and he instinctively wanted to scream, but as soon as he opened his mouth, one hand suddenly stretched out, pinching his throat and neck, and at the same time, the other hand quickly stretched over, and the thing he was holding in that hand, a round golden one that was slightly smaller than a pigeon's egg, and something with runes flowing on it, like an elixir, was poured directly into his mouth, and it slid into his stomach at once......
