CHAPTER XXXVI

Quietly looking at Yun Zhilan in front of him, he unexpectedly thought of the situation when he first saw this swordsman in the palace many years ago. At that time, he was just a fledgling young man who had just stepped onto the political stage of the Three Kingdoms, and Yun Zhilan, the head disciple of the Sword Mansion, was already famous all over the world and was the real master of the Dongyi City Mission.

Six years have passed, Fan Xian has become one of the top people in the world, and Yun Zhilan even wants to worship in front of him and show his allegiance.

Fan Xian didn't know what Sigu Jian had arranged before his death, how to convince Yun Zhilan, who was a diehard, but he could sense that Yun Zhilan's attitude was not too pretentious, he knew very well these strong men who were constantly seeking in martial arts, once they decided on something, it would be difficult to regret it.

But he heard Yun Zhilan's sentence very clearly, and heard the words twelve swords. Fan Xian's eyes narrowed slightly, and he looked at him calmly and said, "Twelve swords...... If the sword heart of everyone Yunyun is not there, how can I control these twelve swords?"

Without waiting for Yun Zhilan to reply, he had already stood up, solemnly helped the head of the Sword Mansion up, and said sincerely: "I know that the Yun family will never believe me because of the last words of the Sword Saint, and I don't need you to believe me, but if this is a deal, I need the strength of the Sword House, and the Sword House also needs my protection, but if you are not there, how can I hold these twelve swords tightly?"

Yun Zhilan didn't have a smile on his face, and said indifferently: "The family teacher naturally prepares a way to reassure Lord Xiao Fan. ”

After saying this, Yun Zhilan turned around and left. actually didn't give Fan Xian the slightest opportunity to exchange feelings and win over Jian Xindi.

Fan Xian stood in the room as if he had lost something. Thinking about what kind of affairs the sword had arranged for Yun Zhilan, it was only a moment's work. He guessed that although Sigu Sword had to make a big bet on his own land, he always needed someone to check and balance him. Watch yourself, monitor yourself.

Cloud Waves. It is the person who is free from the alliance of interests, with his prestige in the hearts of the disciples of the Sword Lu, if Fan Xian will act in the future. The damage to the interests of Dongyi City was too great, and he gave an order, only afraid of the twelve swords that Fan Xian nominally owned, in an instant. There will only be the pitiful lonely one left.

......

......

After Yun Zhilan, it was the second disciple of Jianlu who entered the room. Fan Xian looked at the middle-aged man quietly and found that the other party's appearance was ordinary. There is no protrusion between the eyebrows and eyes. Even the sword intent contained in his body was also deeply wrapped in the depths. Wearing a slightly thick cotton robe. It's not like a powerful swordsman, but more like a butler-like figure.

After the senior brother came, he was the second senior brother. Fan Xiandi smiled bitterly in his heart, looked around at the sword, and directly pushed himself to the fire, and the disciples of the sword house seemed to have accepted his will. Take turns reporting to yourself.

Fan Xian glanced at the small brown urn beside him with his spare eyes. There was a trace of melancholy in his eyes, a generation of sword saints. It turned into a jar of ashes at hand.

His hand stroked lightly over the small urn. It seems that you can still feel the slight warmth of the ashes of the sword around you. With the movement of his fingers. The vision of the second senior brother, who is like a housekeeper, has also changed. But immediately became calm and waved his hand. Several disciples of the third generation of Jianlu came in with a few boxes.

Fan Xian raised his head. Smiled and asked, "Could it be that this is the inheritance of the Sword Saint?"

The second senior brother smiled. didn't say anything, until all the boxes were placed in Fan Xian's house, and then he said softly: "I have a real estate in Jianlu." Of course it won't be like that. Here are just some of the properties that can be used temporarily. The master said that you need the silver now, and I will bring it to you. There are also some accounts. I think you must be interested. So I moved here on my own initiative. ”

Fan Xian was slightly surprised. Quietly looking at this housekeeper as a master of the Sword Mansion, of course he would not despise this second senior brother, on the contrary, among the thirteen disciples of the Sword Mansion, he had always thought that this second senior brother was very noteworthy. Regardless of the infighting between Yun Zhilan and Wang Shisanlang, this second senior brother can always remain neutral without being implicated, and Sigu Jian has always let him stay outside the sword house, so he knows that this person has won the trust of Sigu Jiandi.

Silver. Fan Xian squinted at him and asked, "Thank you for your hard work, I don't know what these accounts are related to." ”

The second disciple of Jianlu said in a harmonious voice: "It has something to do with Taiping Qianzhuang." ”

When Fan Xian heard this, he could no longer sit on top of the low collapse, Huo Ran got up, stared at the second disciple for a long time without speaking, and finally couldn't help laughing self-deprecatingly, and said in an admiring tone: "I didn't expect it, I don't think anyone would think of it...... It turned out that the owner of the largest money bank in the world turned out to be a ...... A strong man hidden in the sword house. ”

Taiping Qian Zhuang, the world's first money bank! What a huge industry the Qing Guoming family was back then, but to some extent, it also depended on the support of the Taiping money bank, since this money village was in existence, it was the world's largest and most reputable money bank, there was no one, and in the past few decades, no other money bank has ever been able to threaten its status.

Even a few years ago, Fan Xian and the little emperor of Northern Qi secretly joined forces, and then used the old officials sent by his father to take care of them, and gave birth to a deformed and spoiled China Merchants Money Village, but in front of Taiping Qian Zhuang, he still looked like a child who was not well developed.

It holds the right to produce and sell in the inner treasury and two smuggling channels, a Qinglou Alliance, plus one

Fan Xian of the money village is undoubtedly the richest person in the world.

But he knew that although he had a lot of silver in his hand, it was still not enough compared to Taiping Qianzhuang!

Because this Taiping Money Village is deeply rooted in mainland commerce, all the giant businessmen are deeply related to it, and if the Taiping Money Village really exerts its strength, it can mobilize the land and silver, which can reach a jaw-dropping level.

Fan Xian is not an ordinary powerful official, he has a commercial and social economy in his previous life, and he also deals with merchants in this life, so he knows more than ordinary people the terrible strength of Taiping Qianzhuang and the effect that this Qianzhuang can play.

In the past, he also asked the Supervision Yuan to investigate the secret bottom of Taiping Qianzhuang. It's just that every time I find a lot. The clue came to an abrupt end. Of course. This world's No. 1 money village, since it originated in Dongyi City, naturally has something to do with Jianlu. At the very least, there must be Sigu Sword behind it. But Fan Xian never thought of it. The world's first Taiping money village. It is a real estate industry in Jianlu!

And the owner of Taiping Qianzhuang. It's the second disciple of Jianludi!

Fan Xian looked at the owner of the Taiping Money Village in a daze. Infinite complex emotions welled up in my heart. At this time, he knew that Sigu Jian was a big gamble before he died. How many chips have been pressed down, and how much strength has been added to themselves.

The twelve swords are terrifying, and the control of Dongyi City is terrifying. But the real horror is that it is the boxes of accounts that are sent into the house at this time.

Taiping money village accounts.

Fan Xian took a deep breath. Looking at the second disciple of Jianlu, he saluted in admiration. Harmony asked, "I don't know Mr. Da's name yet." ”

This respect. It's not to respect the identity of the other party's Jianlu disciple. The realm of the Jiupin powerhouse, but the status of the owner of the other party's Taiping Qian Village, the most respectable thing in the world is, of course, the strength, and the hands control half of the people in the world. Without a doubt, the most respectable.

At least that's what Fan Xian thinks.

"Li Bohua. "This second disciple of Jianlu, the owner of Taiping Qianzhuang. I was not surprised by Fan's idle attitude. He said gently: "I have been in charge of Taiping Qianzhuang for sixteen years. ”

Fan Xian was silent for a moment, not knowing what kind of attitude to use to talk to this person. According to the meaning of the sword. This person should be used for his own use. is a big man with Taiping Qianzhuang. Can it really be used for oneself?

Then he thought about something. The pupils of his eyes gradually shrankβ€”with the strength of the land in his hands. Merchants Bank. Coupled with the faint control of countless merchants and people, Taiping Qianzhuang, such a strength. It should be possible to fight against something.

It's a bottom-up confrontation.

Li Bohua looked at Fan Xian's expression. Knowing what he was thinking, he said slowly: "Taiping Qianzhuang lends money to the world. But if the situation is difficult. I'm afraid that those foreign loans will not be recovered. But ......"

But the book came out. Fan Xian looked at him. Waiting for him to say a word.

"The silver ticket flies all over the world, but the silver root is always in Dongyi City. Li Bohua did not hide in front of Fan Xian, "If Lord Xiao Fan can gather these forces together, he can indeed affect many things." If you want to make the world chaotic. It's not that hard. ”

Only those who have the strength to speak have the confidence. Fan Xian only learned today that it turned out that among the thirteen disciples of the Sword House.

The most powerful person is not the most authoritative Yun Zhilan, nor is he the thirteen lang with the most infinite prospects in the realm. It is Li Bohua who holds the most silver and two places.

"It's a big gift. Fan Xian had calmed down from his previous shock. Said slowly: "If Dongyi City asks too much. I still can't do it. It must be stated in advance. ”

"This is already your real estate sir. Li Bohua looked at him with a smile. Unlike ordinary martial arts masters, this is an invisible oligarch in the mainland business world. At a glance, I could see that Fan was cautious. He said in harmony: "Master's will." I didn't ask you to do anything, I guess you've already agreed. I'm just executing. ”

Fan Xiandi's brows furrowed, and he laughed at himself: "I have been smashed once in my life by the gold basin that fell from the world. Are you going to be smashed a second time today?"

"I don't know what you need silver for, but I have it. After Li Bohua was silent for a long time, he suddenly said: "Of course, as far as I am concerned, I would like to put forward a condition to you. ”

Fan Xian looked at him quietly, and said after a moment: "You have the qualifications and strength to put forward any conditions. ”

Li Bohua got up slowly and said: "Taiping Qianzhuang, it was the land industry of the city lord of Dongyi City before, and then it was the private real estate of Jianlu, I have been bothering in it for sixteen years, and the money village is getting bigger and bigger, but please remember that the money in the village is not only the silver in the bank, but also the silver deposited by all the merchants in Dongyi City, and even the silver deposited by countless people in Nanqing in the Northern Qi Dynasty. ”

"It's nature. ”

"I mean, the Taiping Money, in fact, the money village of the Dongyi people, is their silver root, their earth root. Li Bohua looked at him quietly, and said word by word: "You only have half of the Dongyi people's blood, I want to remind you that we are obedient, only nominally, we don't want to become Yanjing people, Jiangnan people, Weizhou people, we just want to be Dongyi people." ”

"Let's just say it. Fan Xian squinted at him.

"You can't garrison troops. Li Bohua frowned. Said softly.

As soon as this statement came out. The corners of Fan Xian's lips curled slightly.

Whispered, "You're smart. Of course I know, this is a big matter for the Juggernaut, and I can't give in. ”

Then he frowned and said, "You also have to be considerate of me." I have done my best to convince the thousands of people in Qingguo. ”

Li Bohua also laughed, the previous statement was just a means of negotiation, and he sincerely said his real request.

"If you have to garrison troops. I hope it's the black ride. Li Bohua looked at Fan Xian and said calmly: "Nothing else." ”

Fan Xian shook his head: "The total number of black horsemen is only a thousand, and Your Majesty will not agree." ”

"That's the old genus of the Great Prince, and it's best for the Great Prince to come here in person. Li Bohua no longer gave in, and said: "Now the vassal states have begun to move. The people's hearts also began to be in turmoil.

After the funeral, Ruoqingjun entered strongly. I'm afraid it will cause a lot of backlash. The situation is in chaos, how can we solve this problem?"

"Could it be that the Black Cavalry or the original Western Army entered Dongyi City. Won't there be such a problem?"

Li Bohua smiled and said: "The master of the black cavalry is you, and the master of the Western Army is His Royal Highness...... And all the people of Dongyi City know it. You are a descendant of Miss Ye's family, and Your Highness is the son of Aunt Ning. ”

Fan Xian frowned slightly, not knowing what key effect this had on the stability of the situation in Dongyi City.

"It depends on people's hearts. Li Bohua said softly: "We have been in Dongyi City for more than 20 years. Out of the two most famous women. One is Lingtang. to this day. The merchants of Dongyi City also regarded the old Ye family as the pride of Dongyi City, and the other was Aunt Ning. A pitiful female prisoner in Dongyi City. In the end, she became a princess in a foreign land...... It may seem strange to you. But in fact, it is, the people of Dongyi City. I never think it's a humiliation, I just think it's a rare honor. ”

Fan Xian was silent. It was natural to think of it. In the previous life, those Chinese girls who became Nordic princesses and became the wives of huge wealth. It seems that people's emotions were not resistant at that time. On the contrary, there is some secret joy, which has nothing to do with worshipping foreign countries. Probably just a kind of eccentric joy that Xuanguo flattered abroad.

"It's because the status of Miss Ye and Aunt Ning in the hearts of Dongyi City people has not changed. Li Bohua looked at him and said, "So you are still the eldest prince." In the hearts of many merchants and ordinary people, in fact, it is half of the Dongyi people, if one of the two of you is stationed here, the mood of the people will be more convenient. ”

Fan Xian was silent for a long time and said: "What you said makes sense, and I can try to convince His Majesty the Emperor with these words, presumably His Majesty also wants a complete Dongyi City, not a city where the rebels are everywhere and shed blood." ”

"Thank you. After Li Bohua said this, he bowed deeply and prepared to retreat.

The specific matters of Dongyi Castle's claim to be a vassal land, such as whether to pay tribute every year or be directly included in the Kyoto tax system, are still being discussed by officials at all levels. And above these affairs, of course, it is the most important garrison matter, Li Bohua brought Taiping Qianzhuang to sprinkle today, and abandoned the box and sprinkled away, but the burden on Fan Xian's shoulders was heavier.

"Please wait. Fan Xian suddenly opened his mouth to leave a guest, at this time, there was no way to completely eliminate the shock in his heart, he really didn't understand, why Sigu Jian decided to gamble on himself before he died, and these disciples of Jianlu Di didn't ask about the details, didn't ask the reason, so heroically and even recklessly moved out of Dongyi City.

They don't know the past like Si Gu Jian, they know the indelible deep chasm between Fan Xian and the emperor, why should they believe Fan Xian.

"We just believe in the wisdom of the Master. Li Bohua looked at him and smiled and said, "I think you also know that Shizun has never been an idiot. ”

Fan Xian was silent, then laughed and said, "I think you have invested so many things, there must be some way to supervise me." ”

"Of course it won't be Yun Zhilan. Fan Xian squinted and thought about it, and said slowly: "The City Lord's Mansion is going to be re-established, Yun Zhilan is the best choice, he is outside the Sword Mansion, watching coldly, and will check and balance me from the general trend...... But where are your checks and balances on me personally? You should know that I'm not a person to be controlled. ”

"We are not sure that we will be able to control Lord Fan. Li Bohua said calmly: "So we just followed the master to make a big gamble in the world, of course, if Lord Xiao Fan betrayed his treachery and swallowed my Dongyi City into his stomach with his backhand, it would not surprise us, after all, you are a Qing person, the illegitimate son of Emperor Qing, and the life and death of Dongyi City will not be so important in your heart." ”

"Now that you've thought of this, why do you dare to bet. ”

"We don't have any other power in Dongyi City, we just have money, and we have ...... Sword. Li Bohua smiled and walked out of the quiet room.

Then a sword walked into the ashram.

The tired Wang Shisanlang's face was pale, and after he looked at Fan Xian and was silent for a long time, he said in a very low voice: "From today on, I will follow you every day, if you are treacherous, I will kill you." ”

"Can you kill me?" Fan Xian sighed and shook his head.

Wang Shisanlang stared at him stubbornly and said, "If I read you wrong...... If you can't kill it, you have to kill it. ”
