Half a month passed, and Murong Fu pondered alone how to develop Murong Villa, and had a vague framework in his heart.

Murong Fu didn't learn much about history in his previous life, and he didn't know much about politics, but he knew very well that if he wanted to dominate the world, the most important thing was naturally money, followed by talent and martial arts. Therefore, the first priority now is to develop financial routes.

Murong Fu asked the servant to invite the four ministers to come to the meeting, and after a while, the four people entered the living room one after another, Murong Fu looked at the four people, Deng Baichuan was still the same, dressed like a Taoist priest;

Gong Yeqian was a burly man, with thick eyebrows and a square face, and an honest face; Bao was thin and tall, and looked a little vicious; while Feng Bo was dressed in a brown robe and looked like a monkey with a sharp beak.

The four of them saluted together and said, "Childe!"

"Sit down, they are all their own brothers, don't be so polite in the future!" In fact, except for Deng Baichuan, the other three people are usually not so formal, only when Deng Baichuan is there, he seems to be quite polite.

"Then how can it be done, the prince is the royal family of Dayan, and as a courtier, it is already a transgression to not be a courtier. Deng Baichuan retorted with a serious face.

"The Murong clan has settled in the Central Plains for so many years, marrying a Han as a wife, and the Xianbei bloodline may have been diluted to the point that there is not much left. Murong Fu said secretly in his heart, but he couldn't say this, and asked in his mouth: "How much money does the Murong family have now?"

Among the four people, they were in charge of money and food, and after a deep sigh, they said: "There are about one million taels of gold, five million taels of silver, and one million stones of grain." ”

Murong Fu was a little surprised, there were so many, although he didn't quite understand how much the stone unit was, but there were tens of millions casually, and they were all very rich.

But after thinking about it, the Murong family is determined to restore the country, and the ancestors must have some savings, and it is normal to have more money and food.

In fact, Murong Fu has never seen much of the world, and it took so many years to save this bit of belongings, you must know that the rich landlords of the Song Dynasty did not have a few million taels of gold and silver.

"Where does the Murong family's income come from?"

The four of them were a little surprised, how could Gongzi care about these problems today, but there was no doubt about him, Bao Wei continued:

"Nearly 100,000 acres of fertile land around Taihu Lake are under the name of the Murong family, with an annual output of 200,000 stones, which is converted into 300,000 taels of silver, plus 500,000 taels of industries from all over the south of the Yangtze River. ”

Murong Fu was puzzled in his heart, his annual income was not small, how could he have saved so much for so many years, so he asked, "What are the expenses?"

Bao replied: "It is mainly used for disaster relief. ”

"Disaster relief?" Murong Fu looked puzzled, even if he wanted to win the hearts of the people, it was not yet time, wouldn't it be more appropriate to raise his arms and shout "The prince will have a kind of Xiangning" before disaster relief.

Bao Wei seemed to see through his thoughts, and continued:

"Mainly because of the Song Dynasty, the Murong family occupies the entire Taihu Lake, and it is impossible to say it without giving an explanation, and the lord of the Wang family is an official in the imperial court, which has given the Murong family a lot of convenience, and the Murong family can't do it if they don't say it. ”

Only then did Murong Fu remember that the Murong family and the Wang family were in-laws, and it seemed that there was a grandfather who was an official in the Song Court. "I see, what kind of industry does the Murong family have except for the fertile land of Taihu Lake?"

"Mainly inns, restaurants and cloth villages, there are currently more than 100 inns and restaurants distributed all over the south of the Yangtze River, there is only one cloth village, but there are more than 70 shops. In addition, there are more than a dozen jewelry businesses, and several ......"

Murong Fu couldn't help pouting when he listened to it, he despised the Murong family for not having any business acumen, what kind of money could be made by relying on these industries, it was estimated that he might not be able to return to the country if he saved for another hundred years.

"Then how many people does the Murong family have?"

Bao Wei looked at Deng Baichuan, and Deng Baichuan said:

"If you are a confidant, those who know martial arts are basically in Zhuangzi, there are about 300 people in total, and most of those who don't know martial arts are operating industries in various places, adding up to more than 500 people, and a few hundred servants of Yanziwu, old and young, are also loyal. ”

"If you raise troops, the 3,000 farmers in Taihu Lake can draw 5,000 strong men, and these farmers are all descendants of Dayan, and there is no problem with loyalty. Some small sects in Shandong, Jiangnan and other places also listened to the orders of the Murong family, and there were tens of thousands of people when they were gathered. ”

Murong Fu was still a little surprised, he thought that the Murong family had no soldiers, but he didn't expect that there were 5,000 soldiers around, but it was still too few. After thinking about it, he said, "There are a few things for you to do now. ”

The four of them said in unison: "Childe, please speak!"

"First, Brother Deng, you take your henchmen and go to Jiangnan, Huainan and other areas where the Song and Jin are fighting, and collect the displaced people and disaster victims between the ages of fifteen and thirty. Bring to ......"

Murong Fu choked suddenly, he was not familiar with the nearby terrain at all, and he hadn't even visited the Swallow Dock yet, but after thinking about it, he continued: "Bring it to the Swallow Dock, is there a problem?"

"No problem!"

"The second thing, the third brother Bao and the fourth brother Feng, the two of you will go to all parts of the Song Kingdom together to search for orphans under the age of fourteen, as long as they are able-bodied, regardless of men and women, bring them to Yanziwu! ”

Murong Fu groaned and said, "In this way, send it in batches, every three months, one of you will find it, and one of you will escort it." Questions?"

Feng Bo asked suspiciously: "Childe, Brother Deng can form an army when he is looking for young and middle-aged people, what is the use of us looking for those orphans? At least ten years to raise them?"

Bao is different but flexible, and said with a smile: "No, no, no, son, this is to cultivate a good general in the future." ”

Murong Fu nodded with a smile, and then said, "Second Brother Gongye, you go and secretly gather all the craftsmen near Taihu Lake and Suzhou to Yanziwu." ”

Gongye Qian took a breath of cool air and said, "Childe wants to build a large number of buildings?"

"That's right, when the third brother Bao and they send someone over, the current house will definitely not be enough to live in, besides, Swallow Dock is our base camp, and it must be built well. ”

Gongye Qian seemed to be a little excited: "Okay, Childe!"

"The fourth thing is to recall the principals of the industries in various places, and arrange for trusted henchmen to secretly acquire Qinglou gambling houses, at least to ensure that there is at least one Qinglou or gambling house in each town. Well, for now, let's implement it in various parts of Jiangnan. ”

Deng Baichuan was taken aback, "Son, our Murong family is a member of the Great Yan Imperial Family, a famous family, how can we do this kind of business!"

Murong Fu didn't expect Deng Baichuan to be so pedantic, so he said: "Now that the upright and troubled times are coming, the storm is about to rise, it is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for my Dayan, so I don't need to be confined to these small sections." ”

"But......" Deng Baichuan wanted to say something more.

Bao Bu smiled: "Don't be, just listen to the son." ”

turned to Murong Fu and said, "Childe, we haven't done this before, and we don't have the right people." ”

Murong Fu thought for a while and said, "It doesn't matter, whether you can make a profit or not is secondary, and the most important thing is confidentiality." ”

Bao Wei nodded and said, "Okay." ”

Murong Fu looked at Deng Baichuan and the four of them, and said solemnly: "You must be quiet about looking for people, don't invite other beggars to help disciples, especially don't attract the attention of the imperial court!"

He can't be careless, it's not a big deal to invite beggars to help the disciples, Taihu Lake is too close to Lin'an Mansion, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is the foot of the Son of Heaven, if he leaks any news to attract the attention of the imperial court, the Murong family will be wiped out in an instant.

The four of them said in unison, "Obey!"

Murong Fu nodded and said: "If you have money, you can withdraw it yourself, by the way, from this year onwards, all the grain produced by the fertile fields of Taihu Lake will be saved, and it will not be converted into cash." ”

Deng Baichuan was surprised: "But there is no place to put so much food!"

"Let's put it in the hands of the farmers for the time being, okay, let's go separately!"

When the four of them left, they were still a little puzzled, and they didn't understand that this was Murong Fu's plan to accumulate grain and delay his claim to the king.
