Chapter 722
"So...... President, what are we supposed to do this time? Are we going to leave this person here completely?"
There was a hint of murder in Lan Zhanhe's words, although he was just a businessman, and he was a businessman who was not very strong. But the temperament that has been exercised over the years is not comparable to ordinary people.
This Murong Zijin should not be counted against Qin Yue.
If it was someone else, then perhaps for the sake of the other party being the prince of Beiyan, Lan Zhanhe would treat it as if he didn't see it in line with the principle of making money with harmony.
But if the other party is Qin Yue, then it will be completely different. Now that the Shadow Chamber of Commerce can have its current scale, it is completely inseparable from Qin Yue's support, if Qin Yue's support is cut off, then the Shadow Chamber of Commerce will go downhill in a very short period of time.
Lan Zhanhe had already calculated the outcome that would appear, and he would only have two paths to choose from at that time.
One of them is naturally to go to the imperial court, and all the chambers of commerce under his command will become the minions of the imperial court. The advantage is that it can ensure the integrity of the Shadow Chamber of Commerce, and the disadvantage is that his authority in the Shadow Chamber of Commerce will gradually be replaced by those in the court.
Another is to operate by themselves, with the current scale of the Shadow Chamber of Commerce, coupled with the "collusion between officials and businessmen", their Shadow Chamber of Commerce should be able to last for a while. But after a long time, the lack of liquidity and foundation of the Shadow Chamber of Commerce will be exposed.
Needless to say, the rest of the world is naturally not going to let go of this opportunity.
When the time comes, they will rush up like wolves and completely dismember the Shadow Chamber of Commerce. When the time comes, there will still be nothing left in his hands.
It was not easy for him to go from the second shopkeeper of the Lan family to this point, and he had already tasted the taste of money, and it was absolutely impossible for him to give up.
At this time, Qin Yue, as the president of the Chamber of Commerce, was definitely a closer existence than his own father.
Of course, Qin Yue absolutely didn't know about this matter. If he knew, he would only think that this guy was disgusting enough.
"Since this guy still dares to come, then stay completely. Qin Yue frowned and said, "I remember that the intelligence shows that this guy is in Guiyang County on the edge of Guilin County, how is the defense over there?"
To be honest, Qin Yue was also very annoyed by such a fly that only knew how to buzz all day long. Since there is a chance this time, then we must slap it directly to death, and no longer give this guy any chance to turn over.
"The defense of that place is not very good, it used to be a stronghold of Northern Yan. And it's a very small stronghold, so small that Lieutenant Langya didn't bother to pull it out before. "Now...... He has completely fallen out of favor in Beiyan. All the forces of Northern Yan in Western Qin, he can only use a part of his mother clan. ”
"In other words, if we want to make a move......" Qin Yue felt that something was wrong.
This Murong Zijin shouldn't be so idiotic, he has already provoked the people of Western Qin like this, and he dares to come over? Isn't he afraid that he will be directly chopped into meat by the angry Langya Duwei?
"Maybe it's because he has confidence in his identity, even if Captain Langya catches him, he doesn't dare to kill him. ”
Rail said helplessly, this person really thinks too highly of himself. Although he said that he had not been in the guards for too long, he thought that he knew something about Lieutenant Langya.
Captain Langya is not a person who will be threatened by others casually. If anyone dares to threaten him, then be prepared to be the first to be killed. Now it is estimated that the killers who assassinated the six princes of Northern Yan are already on the way.
It's just that the sixth prince of Beiyan hasn't realized the danger of his situation yet, and he is probably still planning the next plan.
Qin Yue touched his chin, if his estimation was correct, it should be in the past two days.
Now there is such a big mess in the Western Qin court, and these rebels are not doing well, that is, they will directly attack the Yellow Dragon, subvert the rule of the entire Western Qin, or directly destroy the winners.
In this case, other people may be able to sit still, and those who are in the DPRK and China may also be able to sit still. But the one on the throne can't sit still, and the current two people, Xue Tianhan and Wan Qin, must also be unable to sit still.
These two must be looking for all the forces that can unite in order to keep the throne.
There is no doubt that the Shadow Chamber of Commerce, which has no position and is even extremely close to the imperial court, is definitely a major target for wooing. But knowing that so far, Qin Yue still hasn't received any news of wooing, which is a bit strange.
It is absolutely impossible to say that the court can sit still.
If the imperial court could sit still, then the garrison forces around the three counties of Hejian would not have been mobilized so frequently.
The current transfer is because the king of Hejian County has already unknowingly infiltrated all the defenders of the capital near the three counties of Hejian. This is a change of guard plan out of desperation.
Otherwise, whoever is full of food and lasts to change the guard all day long, all the people walking on these roads are all white flowers.
"How much silver do we have in our hands?" Qin Yue asked directly.
This battle is also an opportunity for the Shadow Chamber of Commerce. In the past, the Shadow Chamber of Commerce was not on the stage because of its late start. But this time is different, this time, the Shadow Chamber of Commerce is already deeply rooted, and now with this war, it is enough to completely rise and be promoted to a first-class power.
If you want to rely on a chamber of commerce to fight against the family, although it is difficult, as long as you have money, you can say anything.
"Now the Chamber of Commerce has about 4 billion taels of silver and 60 million taels of gold in its hands. ”
Lan Zhanhe looked extremely proud, of course, this is not to say that he himself earns much. Most of these coins are leftovers for their own use.
Being able to develop a Shadow Chamber of Commerce to the current scale, and with so much money left, his ability can be seen.
Qin Yue was also a little surprised, he didn't expect to be able to leave so much silver. But that's fine, since there is so much silver in his hand, it is also more convenient for him to talk to Xue Tianhan later.
"Is the chairman going to fight the idea of the imperial court this time?" Liang Qingge frowned.
The current Shadow Chamber of Commerce is doing extremely well, even if the three counties of Hejian and the shops in the southwest region have been lost, they are still making a profit. And it can be said that the profitability of the entire Shadow Chamber of Commerce is now more than that of the second and third chambers of Commerce in Xiqin combined.
In such a situation, it is basically impossible for the Shadow Chamber of Commerce to use silver.
As for the outside of the territory, that place, there has always been only the export of spirit stones from the domain to the outside, and I have never seen anyone asking for gold and silver.
Qin Yue asked at this time how much silver was still in the Shadow Chamber of Commerce, and there was only one possibility, that is, it was to give blood transfusion to the imperial court. Although the imperial court now says that it will not fall behind in the face of the rebels, how long can it hold out if it does not fall behind?
Even if the iron army of Western Qin, the defense is really the best in the world. Even if the Guanglin Army can really be invincible in the world, even if the forbidden army can really dominate Guanzhong. But all of this is based on food.
The rebels, either the Southern Tang Dynasty or the Western Song Dynasty, can be calmly extinguished in any place.
But now, the situation is different, the Southern Tang Dynasty and the Western Song Dynasty have made it clear that they are going to join forces this time. And now the king of Hejian County is coming out again, and the most important thing is that he will temporarily change the general at this time in the middle of the week.
If you don't change generals in the middle of the week, then there will naturally be no problem. The generals on both sides have their own tacit understanding, and they will not easily make mistakes.
But the problem lies in the problem of the current generals of the Middle Zhou Dynasty changing generals, you must know that the hatred of the generals of the Central Zhou Dynasty for the Guanglin Army of the Western Qin is not small. There are three fires for the new official to take office, if one of the fires does not burn on the head of the Guanglin army, I am afraid that the position under the ass of this new general will not be stable.
In the middle of the Zhou Dynasty, the Western Qin Dynasty in its own interior, plus the Western Song Dynasty and the Southern Tang Dynasty, the four places made trouble, even if the bottom plate of the Western Qin court was hard, it could not withstand it.
At least, the granary is not able to withstand it. An army without food is just a plate of scattered sand. It is simply impossible to gather strength against these people. Therefore, Qin Yue estimated that it would not be long before Xue Tianhan would ask the Shadow Chamber of Commerce to borrow money and food.
"When the time comes, the imperial court will not be able to deal with the invasions and rebellions in so many places, and it will definitely find a way to raise funds from the people. ”
Qin Yue said very calmly, but after he finished speaking, the others were not calm. Because there is no doubt about it, it is to ask these people below to take the money.
The court took the money...... Will it be repaid after that? In most cases, it will not be repaid, and these IOUs have never been repaid. Those families, at most, allowed the imperial court to use other things for conversion and repayment.
The current imperial court basically pays off the debts caused by the rebellion of the previous six kings every year. In the past two years, the debt has just been repaid, and at this time, it has encountered natural disasters, which can be said to be continuous disasters.
In this case, who would dare to lend the money in their hands to the imperial court. said to be borrowed, but in fact, it is half given away and half robbed.
"President, if the Imperial Court asks us to borrow money, how should we respond? At this time, Liang Qingge was also panicked.
After all, it's not just the Western Qin that is going to have a war, but the Western Song Dynasty is also going to have a war. Moreover, on the Western Qin side, there is no precedent for asking merchants to borrow, but there is already one on the Western Song side, and the amount is not small each time.
Now that the bluestone firm is completely spread out in the Western Song Dynasty, as an industry in the Western Qin, when the time comes, Cheng Qing's old bastard may have to peel off a layer of their skin.
"Don't panic, that Cheng Qing Cheng Zhizhou is also our person. In fact, he is an outer disciple of the Demon Evil Hall, and he has a certain friendship with the Demon Demon Hall. Qin Yue said directly.
The matter of Chenzhou had already been troubled once, and he didn't want to continue to make trouble a second time. This kind of thing is extremely detrimental to the development of the Bluestone Merchant and the Shadow Chamber of Commerce. So after killing Chen Zhou, he directly took action against the officialdom of the Western Song Dynasty.
This Cheng Qing, who came to power this time, can be regarded as a capable leader under the Demon Demon Sect.
With such a relationship, even if Cheng Qing does not directly shelter the bluestone firm, he can do it equally. At the very least, the money can be divided equally.
And Qin Yue's purpose is simply that as long as they do it equally.
He had known for a long time that the court of the Western Song Dynasty slaughtered these big merchants as sheep. It's because I knew it for a long time, so I have psychological defense.
The bluestone firm has a small vault in private, and the silver in these small vaults is specially designed to deal with this situation. Qin Yue's only request was that those officials and masters should not treat themselves as a fat sheep, and then catch one of their own sheep and gather wool to death.
"But, President, what are we asking for when we take out so much silver?"
At this time, Lan Zhanhe asked. He is not opposed to cooperating with the imperial court, but he does not think that the current Western Qin court has anything that can be converted into such a large sum of money. Of course, the right to pay taxes is excepted, but that thing is the money bag of the imperial court, and it cannot be moved.
So what is Qin Yue calculating about the imperial court now?
Qin Yue just had a smile on his face, but he didn't say anything. If they say that they are eyeing the coinage right of the imperial court, I am afraid that they still don't know what such a thing as coinage is.
To be honest, this coinage right is naturally related to Beiyan.
After all, it was the Beiyan side that first reported that there was something about the coinage right, because there were a lot of silver mines in that place in Beiyan, and there were a lot of metals mixed in the silver ingots minted by each family, which led to the confusion of the currency system. In the end, the court of Northern Yan and the Murong royal family had to come forward to determine the right to mint the coinage and the amount of silver in the coinage.
Naturally, Western Qin does not have as many silver mines as Northern Yan, so the silver ingots of each family are basically the same.
But Qin Yue is eyeing this coinage, of course, he wants to let the court use it first.
"What happened to the molds I asked the people below to find before?I remember that I laid them out a long time ago, haven't you done it yet?" Qin Yue stared at Chen Haishan and asked directly.
"This, naturally, has been done a long time ago. I just don't know what the president is going to do with these things. Chen Haishan said.
He was in charge of this thing, because the largest treasury of the Shadow Chamber of Commerce was now in his hands. As long as there is no warrant from him, no one else can even touch the money.
Rail, as well as Lan Zhanhe and Liang Qingge, were all stunned, because they didn't know about this matter. You must know that they are the first-class existence of the Chamber of Commerce, and Chen Haishan and the like are basically ranked second.
