Being praised by Liu Quan, Bai Mufeng was encouraged, his back straightened a lot, and his face also showed a bit of brilliance. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info he smiled at Liu Quan: "Thank you Emperor Liu for your praise, the villain doesn't dare." ”

Liu Quan said: "Alas, you deserve the praise, why don't you dare? What else, you go on!"

Bai Mufeng said: "Yes." The villain also thinks that although there are not many traveling merchants like the villain, they are not few. Now that there is war everywhere and prices are soaring, we must get some things from them as soon as possible...... If we can have money and goods, at least we will have more confidence, and we can also give those who support us some support...... For example, these soldiers who were released to work in the farm, do we say that if we ask them to give us food, they will give it? ”

Han Feng nodded and said, "That's right, this is also a way." After that, he looked at Liu Quan again: between the two of them, they both knew in their hearts that the general Zhang left with a large amount of gold in order to choke this pass, but fortunately, he could not take the gold mine with him. As for the gold mine itself, Luo Xing had already led his troops to see it, the mining area was very deep, and now it was night, so he didn't go because he was afraid of danger under the mine, but sent people to guard it outside.

However, after all, the matter of this gold mine was not yet for Bai Mufeng to know, Han Feng thought for a moment and asked, "Bai Gongzi, can you contact these traveling merchants?" I have heard people in business say that merchants have their own guilds. ”

Bai Mufeng's face was embarrassed, and he said, "There will be a guild, but ...... The villain is just a low-end businessman, even if he contacts those merchants, he is afraid that people will not pay attention to the villain. ”

Han Feng smiled and said, "It's okay, you don't have to use your own name, you can use the name of the Western Dynasty to deal with them." ”

"Really?" Bai Mufeng was half surprised and half delighted, he saw the force of the Western Dynasty along the way, and also knew that the battle Fengzhou seemed to have a large number of Rongqi soldiers, but in fact, it was still relying on the Tianma of the Western Dynasty, if he could be linked to the Western Dynasty, then it was really possible to become the family's Zhongxing force in the future - it's just that this relationship can never be taken off again, and if you make a mistake, you may fall into the bottomless abyss.

Mingxi saw Bai Mufeng's doubts and said with a smile: "You can think slowly, don't be in a hurry." If you really want to, you call yourself a person from the Western Dynasty, and you don't have to fully reveal your original identity, which will not have much impact on the Bai family. ”

Bai Mufeng smiled: "Yes, the villain understands." ”

Liu Quan said on the side: "Tut-tut, this room is full of people from your Western Dynasty, and I have become a side drum beater, and I can't get any benefits." ”

Han Feng said with a smile: "The eight characters haven't been skimmed yet, what kind of sour thing are you committing? Besides, now that you and I are united, how can this grain and grass come without your benefits?"

A few people talked and laughed, and gradually diverted the topic, and after chatting for half an hour, Du Lun first spoke on the grounds of sleepiness, and left with Bai Mufeng by the way.

As soon as Bai Mufeng left, several people became serious again, and finally put the focus of the topic back on the gold mine.

Han Feng said: "Liu Quan, let's have a good rest in the city these days, and tomorrow you and I will go to the mine to see what is left, and what we can use." ”

Liu Quan said: "That's what I mean, but Bai Mufeng is beyond my expectations, I thought that he could be a reselling vendor at most, but now it seems that he is up to the task!"

Han Feng said, "Do you want him to compete with the Tan clan you told you?" I'm afraid that the existing strength in our hands alone is still not enough. ”

Liu Quan nodded, shook his head again, and said: "There are less than eight gold mines in the world, and you now have two in your hands, the one in Fengguan Mangcheng is nominally yours, but in fact, it is in the hands of Manghou, that is, the Tan family, so there is only this one." This place, not much, but less is not a lot, as long as it is used rationally and gives a fatal blow to the weakest point of the Tan family, it will definitely succeed. Right now, according to my opinion, in less than three days, Zhang Boyuan will come back to someone to negotiate with us, how are you going to deal with it, have you ever thought about what they will talk to you?"

Han Feng said: "If I think correctly, Zhang Boyuan naturally represents the tongue of the Tan family. You said that the Tan clan opposed the emperor of the Zhan Dynasty because he wanted to reduce taxes, so he came to me and naturally hoped that I would come to power with the assistance of Marquis Mang, and that I would be able to raise taxes, or at least keep them unchanged. I originally thought that the taxes were all received from the treasury and had nothing to do with these people, but I once remembered that there was a cloud in the history books that the great grandfather of the Zhan Dynasty met a strange person at the beginning of the founding of the country. ”

Li Ji had been listening to them talk about these gold and silver things on the side, and he was already bored, and when he heard Han Feng finally tell the story, he was busy cheering up his spirit, and urged repeatedly: "What strange person?"

Han Feng smiled warmly: "Actually, it's not a history book, but a different chronicle, and all the legends recorded in it are folk legends. At that time, not long after Taizu started the incident, he encountered the problem of lack of soldiers and food. He was trapped in a small town next to Jiangliu Mountain, and originally thought that the general trend was gone, but then a merchant came and said that he would teach him to make a business without capital. At that time, Taizu was very puzzled, and there were many warlords who asked why the man had caused trouble, but he chose himself. The man said that the business relies on the sword to go sideways, and he does not dare to take risks, and where can he get benefits. Taizu asked him what he wanted to do. The man smiled and said that he paid for Taizu to buy soldiers, horses, grain and grass, and paid to fund Taizu to send troops to start an incident, but the money was not given for nothing, and after the matter was completed, Taizu was asked to use the national tax revenue to slowly repay it year after year. The money he asked for was actually not much, so Taizu naturally agreed. This one is called "The Country of Man", I thought it was the people who made something out of nothing, but now that I think about it, most of that person is the ancestor of the Tan family!"

Mingxi sighed and said, "It turns out that there really is such a story, it seems that my guess is completely correct." It's just that now that I think about it, I'm afraid that the rebellion of the righteous marquis two hundred years ago, and even the battle for succession more than a hundred years ago, there is the presence of the Tan family. ”

Liu Quan said: "Of course. How long can a debt be repaid? It's almost over, and the court no longer asks them to borrow it, so what do you want people to do? So once in a hundred years, you can borrow and repay, and it's not difficult to borrow again!"

Han Feng bowed his head and said, "Then what Zhang Boyuan will talk to us about, it is already very clear." But how are we going to deal with it? If we don't want his gold, he will naturally go to someone else, won't he help the enemy?"
