"Who will Your Highness borrow?"

Fang Yuan was surprised and invited Li Ke to sit down.

"Xue Bowu!"

"I want to be the vanguard of this king's army!"

Li Ke sat down and said in a deep voice.

Xue Bowu has already made a name for himself.

Although there are not many people who pay attention, those who know know that he is powerful.

He was a fierce general who could boost the morale of the soldiers on the battlefield.

"No problem, I'll inform Xue Bowu when I get back."

Fang Yuan did not refuse, and directly agreed.

can let Xue Bowu go to the battlefield, that is an affirmation of Xue Bowu.

If there is a war to fight, then there is a chance to rise, which is in line with Fang Yuan's expectations for Xue Bowu.

"Thank you, when this king returns triumphantly, I will invite Fang Shilang to drink."

Li Ke nodded in satisfaction.

Get up and get ready to leave.

That look was full of confidence.

As if the rebellion in Shandong was nothing in his eyes.

"Greetings to Your Highness."

Fang Yuan did not retain.

Get up and see him off.

Looking at the back of Li Ke leaving, Fang Yuan was a little worried.

Hebei's problems cannot be resolved violently, otherwise the imperial court's control over Hebei will become even lower.

And Li Ke came to borrow Xue Bowu, feeling that he wanted to violently subdue Hebei.

But after thinking about it, Fang Yuan felt that this matter should not be considered by him.

The emperor and the princes of the court had their ideas.

Since it was decided to let Li Ke go on the expedition, they had their ideas.

As for Xue Bowu, he is just a pioneer, and he listens to Li Ke's orders.

If Xue Bowu kills all sides on the battlefield, it will also be at the mercy of Li Ke's orders.

Just turn around and tell Xue Bowu.

After confirming that the grain and grass were correct, Fang Yuan did not stay in the household department anymore, but returned to the Fang Mansion and found the Xue family sisters and brothers.

"On the battlefield again?"

Xue Jiaoyan has an opinion.

This has just returned from Lingnan and is about to go to Hebei.

It's just a small titled general, and he doesn't have any power at all.

I don't know, I think Xue Bowu is such a powerful general.

"This expedition, when I come back, I should be a real power person."

"To go or not, you brothers and sisters decide."

Fang Yuan didn't force it.

But according to Xue Bowu's military exploits, he will have a certain amount of real power when he returns.

"Let's go then."

"Bowu, what do you think?"

Xue Jiaoyan's tone changed suddenly.

She won't stop anything that can make her brother rise.

Although he is worried about Xue Bowu's safety, he must pay if he wants to get it.

"Go!"

"I love war!"

Xue Bowu nodded heavily.

A longing for war welled up in his eyes.

He used to like to be with people, but now he likes to kill.

Naturally, it is not innocent people who are killed, but the kind of people who go to the battlefield.

"On this expedition, I have something to tell you, you must remember it."

Fang Yuan bowed his head and said in a deep voice.

"What's the matter, you say."

Xue Bowu scratched his head, but his eyes became serious.

He had always listened to Fang Yuan's words.

Not only him, but also Xue Jiaoyan.

Although most of Xue Jiaoyan has her own ideas, in fact, she is just talking.

"This time I went to the battlefield, I didn't face the enemy."

"So every time you appear, you have to ask the King of Shu if he can kill people in front of someone."

Fang Yuan admonished.

It's big or small.

If Li Ke really wants to subdue Hebei by violence.

Then the situation in Hebei may become more complicated and will be impeached by the ministers of the imperial court.

At that time, Li Ke is likely to protect himself and push Xue Bowu or others out.

Therefore, in order not to become a scapegoat, you must ask for advice before going to war.

"Okay."

Xue Bowu had no doubts and nodded heavily.

But Xue Jiaoyan was puzzled and asked Fang Yuan why.

"In order not to be a scapegoat!"

"In short, remember my words and carry out my words!"

Fang Yuan once again told Xue Bowu that he must do so.

"I know."

Xue Bowu nodded heavily.

"Remember!"

Xue Jiaoyan also advised.

She panicked when she heard that she might be a scapegoat.

So he also told Xue Bowu to be careful and reminded Xue Bowu to be careful.

After Fang Yuan explained the situation, he stopped bothering their siblings and left their courtyard.

It's just that it didn't take long for Xue Rengui to find Fang Yuan.

"Master, I want to go to war too."

Xue Rengui looked at Xue Bowu with blank eyes.

He didn't want to go to the battlefield before, because he felt that it didn't matter if he went to the battlefield, he would definitely have to do coolies.

And there were few wars, so I didn't think about fighting with my own strength.

Now seeing Xue Bowu slowly become a pioneer from a stunned young man, he is envious.

"You're also on the battlefield, so who will protect me from now on?"

Fang Yuan said with a smile.

There must be one left between Xue Rengui and Xue Bowu.

Both of them are very strong, and they have to keep one as a bodyguard.

And there is another point, that is, Xue Rengui has not completely integrated into the Fang Mansion yet.

"This. Aren't there a lot of people in Fangfu? ”

Xue Rengui said curtly.

He was unwilling to just be Fang Yuan's bodyguard.

I also want to become a general like Xue Rengui.

"Then next time."

"Next time, if you have the chance, you will go again."

Fang Yuan thought for a while and said.

"Okay, okay."

Xue Rengui nodded again and again and left happily.

Two days have passed, and the army to quell the chaos is ready.

Under Li Ke's order, 50,000 troops were dispatched and marched towards Hebei.

Compared with the farewell of the Lingnan Rebellion in the front, almost no people went out of the city gate to see them off this time.

With such a contrast, it can be seen that even the people of Chang'an City feel that the people of Hebei are not wrong.

But no matter what, the 50,000-strong army is dispatched, and the day of quelling the chaos is just around the corner.

After the army was dispatched, Fang Yuan didn't pay any more attention.

He still has a lot to do.

In addition to the official ones, there are also private ones.

A private matter is not really a private matter, but a matter of the Octagon Group.

There's also the matter of the bank.

There are still two kinds of banknotes in Chang'an City.

One is the Tang Dynasty banknotes printed by Huaxia Qianzhuang.

One is the Seven Star banknotes printed by the Seven Star Bank.

Today, it is the Seven Star banknotes that dominate the market.

Moreover, the Seven Star banknotes have gone out of Chang'an City and promoted to more places.

The Datang treasure banknotes are not only in Chang'an City, but only circulating around Chang'an City.

In this regard, Fang Yuan did not want to implement it, but Li Shimin disagreed, and reached some kind of agreement with the five surnames and Qiwang.

In this regard, Fang Yuan could only slow down first.

However, one night, Huaxia Qianzhuang suddenly caught fire.

The raging fire scorched, and the entire Huaxia money village was in flames.

Obviously, Huaxia Qianzhuang has changed the red brick and cement construction, and there will be no such a big fire.

But the fire was still so big that from the time it was discovered to the time it was extinguished, everything inside was burned.

The banknotes in the Huaxia Money House were burned.

This is a huge blow to Fang Yuan and Li Shimin.

Looking at the Huaxia Money Village, which had been burned, Fang Yuan's face was ugly.

"My lord, it's not like a normal fire!"

"There are some flammable materials on the ground, which seem to be man-made!"

Luo Zheng said in a deep voice.

He is the official of the Chang'an County Ya, and he will come to check without Fang Yuan calling him.

When he checked it carefully, he found that the fire in Huaxia Qian Zhuang was not simple, it seemed to be artificially made.

"Can you find out who did it?"

Fang Yuan's eyes were cold, and he said in a deep voice.

Damn, someone dares to burn money.

This is not only a slap in the face, but also a slap in the face of the emperor.

Who had the courage to escape unharmed?

"It's hard!"

"All traces are burned."

Luo Zheng pondered for a moment and said in a deep voice.

It is impossible to find the murderer.

But he did not dare to assert it, only to say that it was difficult.

"No matter how hard it is, you try to find it."

Fang Yuan said in a deep voice.

He heard the meaning of Luo Zheng's words.

But if you can't find it, you have to look for it, and you have to look for it in death.

"Yes."

Luo Zheng is stubborn.

"I'll go to the palace, and you'll see if there are any clues."

Fang Yuan turned to leave.

Li Shimin should have known about the fire in Huaxia Qianzhuang.

But even if he knew, Fang Yuan, as the person in charge, had to talk to him.

Or Li Shimin can find it, or guess who the murderer is.

"Yes."

Luo Zheng Gong said yes.

With the hands of the people, he entered the burned money house again.

Not long after, Fang Yuan entered the palace overnight.

Li Shimin has not slept yet, and is working in the imperial study.

Seeing Fang Yuan's arrival, he was obviously not surprised.

"Your Majesty, Huaxia Qianzhuang caught fire and suffered heavy losses."

"Tens of millions of Datang treasure banknotes were burned due to fire."

Fang Yuan said in a deep voice.

If it weren't for Fang Yuan's money, a random misfire would be a fortune.

"The money is burned, and it is printed back."

"But who burned it, is there a clue?"

Li Shimin said in a deep voice.

He already knew about the fire in Huaxia Qianzhuang, so he hadn't slept so late, and it was Fang Yuan who was waiting.

"It's okay to print it back, but it loses manpower and material resources, and it's also a big loss."

"The clues haven't been found yet, they've all been burned, maybe you can't find the clues, does Your Majesty have a guess?"

Fang Yuan said in a deep voice.

The money was burned, and it was indeed possible to print it back.

However, the loss of manpower and material resources is a large expense.

"Except for the five surnames and seven hopes, I can't think of anyone else."

Li Shimin said in a deep voice.

He was very irritable, and he felt that the five surnames and seven wang made a move.

If they make a move, then they must not show weakness.

But if there is no evidence, what if you make a mistake if you assert it without evidence?

It was not an ordinary person, but five surnames and seven hopes, and their energy was amazing, and they couldn't easily break with them.

"That's what I thought, too."

Fang Yuan said in a deep voice.

He also thought of the five surnames and seven hopes.

So let Luo Zheng find it too.

"You go back first, and then I'll think about it."

Li Shimin waved his hand and said.

The Hebei rebellion had just occurred on the front foot, and now Huaxia Qianzhuang is on fire.

These two things happened so coincidentally, it can't be that the five surnames and seven wangs are secretly playing ghosts, right?

Thinking of this, Li Shimin suddenly had a thought: Is the Lingnan Rebellion also secretly controlled by the five surnames and seven hopes?

"The minister retired."

Fang Yuan saluted and left.

Without a clue, it is impossible to determine who it is.

Whether it is five surnames and seven hopes, whether you dare to turn your face with them or not, it is up to Li Shimin to consider.

This night is destined to be a night that many people can't sleep.

The next day, the fire in Huaxia Qianzhuang spread throughout Chang'an City.

It immediately caused a lot of movement, and the negative news about Huaxia Qian Zhuang was overwhelming.

"The security of Huaxia Money Village is too poor."

"Can we still take out the money we have in Huaxia Bank?"

"In the future, will we dare to deposit money in Huaxia Bank?"

There was a lot of talk.

Some people even went to the door of the money bank and asked for money.

How could a money village that had been burned to black charcoal have money to withdraw?

Fortunately, Lu Xia, who is in charge of Huaxia Qianzhuang, can speak well and ensure that the money will arrive within two days, and it will be deposited and withdrawn with them.

This did not make things bigger, and the discussion calmed down a little.

With Green Summer guarding, Fang Yuan naturally went to work normally.

But when he was at work, Fang Yuan suddenly received a message.

Seven Star Money announced that they would issue banknotes in all provinces within the territory of Datang.

As soon as the news came out, it shook the whole city, and the big guys couldn't sit still.

Li Shimin summoned Fang Yuan into the palace for the first time.

"It's them, it's right!"

"They burned our bank, and then used this opportunity to issue banknotes and occupy all parts of Datang."

"Fang Yuan, how many banknotes do we have, and we will also release our banknotes in Datang City."

Li Shimin said angrily.

He had reached an agreement with Cui Runyu that they would not expand a larger scope for the time being, and let the banknotes circulate on their own for a period of time.

Now the Huaxia money bank is on fire, and the banknotes inside are burned, and then they use this opportunity to break the contract and release the banknotes throughout the country to occupy more markets.

"Now there are people who want to withdraw money, and our existing paper money can only be left in Chang'an City first."

"If you want to expand externally, it is very difficult in a short period of time, let alone expand thirteen channels at once."

Fang Yuan shook his head and said.

The opportunity that the other party took advantage of was too appropriate.

It's almost impossible to keep up with them.

It can only be said that one step behind, one step behind.

"There's no other way?"

Li Shimin roared.

He didn't want to lose to the five surnamed Qiwang.

"Or Your Majesty will find a way to burn down the Seven Star Money House."

"Or Your Majesty will intercept the banknotes they are transporting to other provinces."

Fang Yuan thought for a moment and said in a deep voice.

This is a shady trick, but who told them to burn down Huaxia Qianzhuang too?

After the news of the promotion of paper money was told by the five surnames and seven hopes, there was no doubt that they were the murderers who burned the Huaxia Money Village.

It's too much of a coincidence, they came prepared, probably because they thought Li Shimin didn't dare to do anything.

"Burn down the Seven Star Bank?"

"Could their money not be there?"

Li Shimin frowned and said in a deep voice.

This is not impossible, and it is necessary to treat others in the way of others.

But Seven Star Money Village also went too far, and Huaxia Money Village just caught fire.

Normally, they don't put banknotes in the bank.

"Then intercept the banknotes they are transporting to other provinces."

Fang Yuan said in a deep voice.

The suggestion has already been given, and it is Li Shimin's business whether to adopt it or not.

"Is there any other way?"

"Is it true that the Datang treasure banknote can't be printed?"

Li Shimin's brows furrowed into Sichuan characters.

Intercepting the banknotes of the five surnames and seven hopes is a real rupture.

Hebei is in rebellion, and now is not a good time to break with the five surnames and seven hopes.

The best way is for Fang Yuan to print a large number of banknotes and compete with them.

"Nope."

"It takes time to make banknotes, and it can't be fast."

Fang Yuan shook his head and said.

Banknotes require technologies such as defense, and they are not so easy to manufacture.

When the words fell, Li Shimin fell into deep thought.
