Chapter 137 Intrigue and intrigues, talents and wealth
"Well salt!"
"That's right, it's well salt." Xiao Shunzi said: "There is a saying in the imperial city that if you ask for money in the well, you will come with your hand. This well is the salt well, and this person is the eunuch who guards Long'an Town. ”
"The father-in-law in the imperial city likes Long'an to guard the eunuch Qi Dynasty, because he will give his father-in-law a lot of money every year."
"Some people even say that Long'an guards the town, and the palm print does not change! This eunuch in Long'an Town is a fat man. ”
Xiao Shunzi said.
"Palm prints don't change? That's a bit too much! Qin Wei said.
Xiao Shunzi said: "It's not too much, except for the celebrant eunuch, the other palm print eunuchs are really not as good as the eunuchs in Long'an Town." ”
Qin Wei was thoughtful and asked, "What is the background of this Qi Dynasty?" ”
To be able to occupy such a fat gap, Qi Dynasty is definitely not an easy person, if there is no backer in the imperial city, it is absolutely impossible for him to hold this position.
"Qi Chao is the godson of Grandpa Luo!" Xiao Shunzi said.
Qin Wei was stunned.
Father-in-law Luo, that is the big man in the imperial city, among the tens of thousands of eunuchs in the imperial city, except for Gonggong Lu, he is the oldest and has the highest status.
And there are many people who have served Grandpa Luo, the queen mother, the queen, he has served.
Although the Queen Mother and the Queen have passed away for many years, Grandpa Luo is not dead.
However, Father-in-law Luo is older than Father-in-law Lu, and now he has taken a back seat and retired to retirement, but even so, no one dares to underestimate him.
"Your Highness, the Qi Dynasty has been serving as a town guard eunuch in Long'an Mansion for more than ten years." Xiao Shunzi said with a salivating face.
Long'an Mansion is located in the north of Shuzhou, and the least affected part of the Shuzhou Rebellion is the northern region, which also saved this big fat sheep from suffering.
A town guard eunuch who guards the six tributes of Long'an Mansion and also occupies a large number of salt wells, to be honest, Qin Wei is very greedy.
If you can copy this guy, it will definitely make up for the current lack of Shuzhou.
"Let Wang An go and check this Qi Dynasty!" Qin Wei chuckled.
"Oh, little one!" Xiao Shunzi said with a festive face.
……
Kyoto, Heiwangfu.
In the study, Wu Bin, who was sitting next to Qin Changping, looked at the letter in his hand and frowned.
"It's only been a few months, and the king of Xin'an County has actually done so many things in Shuzhou?"
Qin Changping leaned back in the chair, his eyes closed, the wrinkles on his face trembled slightly, and the thoughts in his heart were inextricable for a while.
After the death of the crown prince, Emperor Li first used strong means to suppress the undercurrent in the court, and then came up with a secret method to set the prince off guard.
Although the court was calm on the surface during this time, everyone knew that the peace was only temporary.
The longer the calm, the greater the energy will be stored, and when it explodes, it will be even more violent.
Now Qin Changping didn't dare to relax at all, and he tensed his mind every day, for fear that there would be a little mistake and let him fall into a situation where he would never recover.
However, he still made a mistake, he actually ignored Qin Wei who was far away in Shuzhou.
Now Qin Wei holds military power in Shuzhou, although the number of soldiers under his command is not large, but such signs make Qin Changping very uneasy.
Because in Kyoto, neither he nor Qin Changan dared to touch the military power, at least on the surface, they didn't dare.
"Lord, we can't ignore the matter of the king of Xin'an, otherwise it will be a big disaster in the future." Wu Bin said in a deep voice.
Qin Changping opened his eyes and said, "But we don't have anything he can do now." ”
Now that the Zhenwu Division has achieved initial results, especially in Kyoto and Tianzhou, the Zhenwu Division has suppressed the civil martial arts forces, so that those sects can only obediently serve the court.
And at this time, the Zhenwu Division is expanding to other states, at this juncture, Lihuang will definitely not dismantle Qin Wei's platform, after all, Lihuang still wants Zhenwusi to suppress those civil martial arts forces.
Wu Bin said thoughtfully: "The king of Xin'an County has meritorious service in establishing the Zhenwu Division, and has meritorious service in quelling the rebellion in Shuzhou, so we are naturally not good at dealing with him at this time, but~"
"What's the point to say, what does it look like?" Qin Changping said dissatisfiedly.
"Merit should be rewarded." Wu Bin said in a low voice.
"He's like this now, and he still wants a reward?" Qin Changping's brows furrowed.
Wu Bin suddenly said confidently: "The king of Xin'an County can't be rewarded, but those under his command can." ”
"Zhuge Zhengme, Tie Shou, Yuwen Chengdu, Li Ru, these people have made a lot of contributions, if the court is not rewarded, wouldn't it seem a little jealous?"
Qin Changping said: "Do you want to rise and descend secretly?" ”
Wu Bin chuckled lightly and said, "Lord Wang, the rise and descent are only one of them, and the right to elect officials of the Zhenwu Division is the most important." ”
Qin Changping's eyes suddenly lit up.
"Now the Zhenwu Division was established by the King of Xin'an County, and the inside of the Zhenwu Division is like an iron bucket, and it is almost difficult for outsiders to interfere."
"Therefore, the king of Xin'an County can use the power of the Zhenwu Division to improve his own heritage, but what if all the departments of the court can interfere with the Zhenwu Division?"
"Should the appointment and promotion of the officials of the Zhenwu Division be responsible for the Ministry of Officials, should the Ministry of Household Management be responsible for the salaries of the Zhenwu Division, and should the Zhenwu Division also be supervised by the Inspectorate?"
Wu Bin said with a smile.
Qin Changping laughed, "Yes, how can Zhenwu Si be independent outside the court?" ”
"As long as all the departments of the court can meddle in the affairs of the Zhenwu Division, then the Zhenwu Division will no longer belong to the king of Xin'an County, and without the Zhenwu Division, the foundation of the king of Xin'an will be cut off. Even if he has a little military power in Shuzhou, what can he do? Wu Bin said.
Qin Changping nodded, his expression was much more relaxed, and said: "But at this time, you still need to plan well, Your Majesty wants to use the Zhenwu Division to suppress the world's martial arts, and we can't cause chaos to Your Majesty." ”
"It's still the prince's thoughtfulness."
Wu Bin said flatteringly.
……
Three days later.
Wang An came to the courtyard where Qin Wei lived.
"Your Highness, the affairs of the Qi Dynasty have been clarified."
In the study, Wang An handed a copy of the document to Qin Wei.
Qin Wei opened it and looked at it.
In the Qi Dynasty, the eunuchs of Long'an Mansion were guarded in Long'an Mansion, and they have been in Long'an Mansion from the thirty-second year of Wude to the present.
In the past ten years, the Qi Dynasty has purchased a large number of industries in Long'an Mansion, not only in Long'an Mansion, but also in the entire northern part of Shuzhou, within the six prefectures, the Qi Dynasty has many industries.
These industries include well salt, grain, weapon forging, elixir, cloth, tea, etc., and even a copper mine and two iron mines.
The sheer number of industries and the sheer scale of the industry are simply extraordinary.
Moreover, the Qi Dynasty also recruited a large number of warriors, and there were more than a dozen caravans under his command alone, and the business spread all over several states, including Yuanzhou, Yunzhou, Tianzhou, Sizhou, Qinzhou, Liangzhou, and Kyoto.
It can be said that the business territory of the Qi Dynasty occupies half of the glass.
After Qin Wei read it, he couldn't help but exclaim: "This Qi Dynasty is really a business wizard!" ”
There are many people in this world who can make money, but there are really few people who have done business to such a level like Qi Chao.
Although those big families and powerful people are not weaker than the Qi Dynasty in business, it is the accumulation of generations, even more than ten generations, and the Qi Dynasty has only taken more than ten years to achieve such a business, which is not amazing.
Moreover, there are many masters under the command of the Qi Dynasty, although there are no innate martial artists, but there are six ninth-grade martial artists, which is far more powerful than the vast majority of sect forces.
"What's this person's style?" Qin Wei asked.
Wang Andao: "The Qi Dynasty is extremely shrewd, and he has a good reputation in the Imperial City, especially in the Anle Hall and the Jingle Hall, the Qi Dynasty will take out a lot of silver every year to fill it. ”
Qin Wei's eyes widened slightly, this guy is really good at buying people's hearts.
What is the place of Anle Hall and Jingle Hall, that is the place where eunuchs retire.
When the eunuchs in the imperial city are old, they will be placed in the Anle Hall and the Jingle Hall, and everyone will be old, and the eunuchs know that they will enter the Anle Hall and the Jingle Hall sooner or later.
The Qi Dynasty filled Anle Hall and Jingle Hall with silver money, which would definitely make all the eunuchs in the imperial city have a good impression of him.
"And what is his reputation in Long'an Mansion?" Qin Wei asked again.
"It's not good, it's not bad." Wang An thought for a while and said: "Although the Qi Dynasty has obtained a lot of money in Long'an Mansion, he has not bullied ordinary people, nor has he occupied fertile land or anything like that, but sometimes he will stabilize the price of grain in Long'an Mansion. ”
"In this Shuzhou Rebellion, although Long'an Mansion was not affected, many refugees went to Long'an Mansion, and the Qi Dynasty not only did not raise the price of grain, but set up a lot of porridge shops."
"However, the wealthy families and Jianghu forces in Long'an Mansion are very dissatisfied with him in private."
Qin Wei couldn't help but laugh, "Talent! ”
Originally, he still wanted to directly copy this Qi Dynasty, but now it seems that the method of copying the family is not easy to use.
This person has this good reputation both in the imperial city and among the people, the key is that he has also done a lot of good deeds, if Qin Wei goes to raid his home, won't he become a wicked person!
"It's no wonder that he was able to sit firmly in Long'an Mansion, this guy has crossed the golden body in Long'an Mansion!"
Wang An said in a low voice: "If His Highness wants to ask for money from him, the old slave may have a way. ”
"What's the solution?" Qin Wei asked.
Wang Andao: "Although he is the godson of Father-in-law Luo, he still has to give Father-in-law Lu's face." ”
Qin Wei understood what he meant, he wanted to borrow the name of Father-in-law Lu, after all, Wang An was Father-in-law Lu's person before, and now he is also Father-in-law Lu's person.
In the name of Gonggong Lu, it was naturally not difficult to rub some oil on Qi Chao's body, but what Qin Wei wanted was not to rub some oil.
Qin Wei shook his head slightly and said, "This king doesn't just want money, this king also needs talents like Qi Dynasty." ”
Wang An said: "It is a little difficult to get the Qi Dynasty to take refuge in His Highness. ”
Qin Wei pinched his chin and fell into deep thought.
Qi Chao has almost no weaknesses in this person, he has to rely on the mountains and backers, and he has to have a background.
Although Qin Wei is the king of the county, it is not easy to hold him.
But people have weaknesses.
The biggest weakness of the Qi Dynasty was that there was a lot of money.
Thinking of this, the corners of Qin Wei's mouth curled slightly, "It's not a good thing to have a lot of money!" ”
"Do you think Qi Chao is worried that someone is staring at him?"
"What does Your Highness mean?" Wang An was a little puzzled.
"Let the Imperial City Division keep an eye on him, and give him a vague show of the existence of the Imperial City Division." Qin Wei said.
Wang An was still puzzled.
Qin Wei explained: "Wealth can sometimes turn into a disaster, the Imperial City Division is the eyes and ears of His Majesty, and it is in charge of Gonggong Lu, you say that if the Imperial City Division is eyeing the Qi Dynasty, what will the Qi Dynasty think?" ”
Wang An's expression moved slightly, and he said, "He may feel that His Majesty or the prince is dissatisfied with him. But what does this have to do with Your Highness? ”
"Of course there is, because this king is in Shuzhou, and he can also mobilize the Imperial City Division, when he doubts His Majesty and the prince, he will also suspect this king." Qin Wei said with a smile.
Wang An's eyes lit up, "First near and then far, he will definitely come to His Highness first to dispel the doubts in his heart." ”
Qin Wei said lightly: "It depends on whether he will put this king in his eyes, if he doesn't put this king in his eyes, then he will naturally not come, but as long as he comes, then everything will be easy." ”
Qin Wei just wanted to force Qi Chao to come to Shuzhou City to find him, if he didn't come, then Qin Wei wouldn't mind being a villain.
Of course, being a wicked person doesn't have to be his own, he can let the Imperial City Division come forward and let Gonggong Lu come forward.
When the time comes, the Qi Dynasty will fall, so how can he get some cheapness, and he can even take those industries of the Qi Dynasty as his own.
"The old slave understood, and the old slave went to Long'an Mansion in person." Wang Andao.
Qin Wei nodded and said, "It's okay for you to show up." ”
