After joking for a while and getting back to business, Zhao Hanzhang said solemnly: "We will have money soon, but we still need to buy food. Now only Jiangnan and Shu can buy food."
Ji Yuan said: "Is your Majesty afraid that King Langya will obstruct us and we will not be able to buy food from Jiangnan?"
Zhao Hanzhang nodded.
Ming Yu said: "We can find a way from Jingzhou. Wang Jishi has been operating in Jingzhou for a year, so he should have a way."
Ji Yuan also said: "Jiangnan is not monolithic. King Langya used to operate in Xuzhou. He brought a large number of people to Jiangnan to take advantage of the interests of the Jiangnan nobles. There are not many people who sincerely obey."
In recent years, a large number of nobles from the north have migrated south. After arriving in the south of the Yangtze River, they scattered everywhere and worked on their own, but they could not compete with the local nobles.
After King Langya fled to Jianye, Director Wang suggested that he contact all the gentry who migrated from the north, and at the same time establish a good relationship with the local gentry in the south of the Yangtze River and merge them into one.
With the efforts of Director Wang, they did form a team to unite the scattered northern nobles. At the same time, he used the prestige of the northern nobles to hold various banquets to make friends with the southern nobles. After Zhao Hanzhang and Shi Le Xiongnu
At the time of the war, the southern nobles were already leaning towards King Langya, and Director Wang was about to succeed.
Then Shi Le surrendered, and Zhao Hanzhang took control of Shi's army. The Jiangnan nobles immediately started to wait and see again, and their attitude towards King Langya was neither far nor near. They had agreed to expel Zhao Hu's caravan and Xinqian together, but now they stopped
action, everyone once again assumed that Zhao Hu's caravan was walking in Jiangnan.
After Zhao Hanzhang defeated the Xiongnu, returned to the court, and a "letter with the people" spread throughout the world, half of the gentry in Jiangnan looked alienated from King Langya, and the half who were willing to get close to him mostly did it because of Wang's guidance.
In terms of face, but after finding out that Director Wang and King Langya had also separated, there were only a few nobles who were still willing to stay by his side.
Therefore, Ji Yuan believed that Jiangnan had great potential.
He said: "In addition to Wang Yifeng, the caravan of the Seventh Prince can also be used. His caravan has traveled to the south of the Yangtze River several times. Many nobles in Jiangnan know that if they are interested, they might express it through the caravan of the Seventh Prince."
Zhao Hanzhang pondered, "There is also Yuan Li, he is also in Jiangnan."
Ming Yu: "A three-pronged approach requires urging them. Not to mention Youzhou, Jizhou and Bingzhou need to provide disaster relief. People are starving to death every day, and even the army does not have much food and grass."
Zhao Hanzhang nodded and was about to speak when Ji Yuan already said, "I'll contact Yuan Li."
The intelligence department has always been in charge of Ji Yuan, and Yuan Li is now under Ji Yuan. Apart from Ji Yuan, only Zhao Hanzhang knows these things, so he can contact Yuan Li directly.
When Ming Yu heard this, he immediately said: "I will draft the documents, count the money and send it to Jingzhou."
Ji Yuan smiled at Zhao Hanzhang and said: "The Seventh Master has a labor minister there."
Zhao Hanzhang: ...So the relationship between her and her seventh uncle is always like killing each other and... loving each other.
Zhao Hanzhang opened her mouth and decided that she loved her seventh uncle at this moment.
Zhao Hu's heart had been hurting since he moved the money out of the warehouse, so he lay down at home to recuperate.
The so-called recuperation is to lie on the soft couch in the pavilion, while the maid beside him gently shakes the banana fan, and two maids serve him to eat fruits and tea, while there are actors performing on the stage not far away.
This was what Zhao Hanzhang saw when she came to visit the patient with a bag of snacks. She couldn't help but pause for a moment, with a look of envy in her eyes.
When Zhao Hu saw her coming, he frowned and asked, "Didn't I pay you the money? Why are you here?"
Zhao Hanzhang raised the cake in his hand and said, "I'm here to visit the patient."
She stepped forward and said: "Seventh uncle, don't worry, I'm not here to urge the rest to count the money."
Zhao Hu's brows twitched and she felt a little guilty, so she didn't stop her anymore. Instead, she leaned directly on the couch and turned to watch the actor play the piano.
Zhao Hanzhang handed the snacks to a maid who was putting melons and fruits on him and asked her to put out the snacks. Then she lifted up her robe and knelt on the mat, looking at him.
Zhao Hu felt a little uncomfortable, but after enduring it, he stood up under her gaze and waved his hands impatiently, letting the actors and servants go down.
It happened that the maid brought the snacks. Zhao Hu glanced at it and said with slight disgust, "Are you too stingy? You only brought a bag of osmanthus cake when you came to visit?"
Zhao Hanzhang: "Fifth uncle said that you like to eat sweet-scented osmanthus cake."
Zhao Hu: "How can you believe your fifth uncle's memory? Osmanthus cake was something I liked to eat when I was a child. Since I became an adult, I no longer like to eat this sweet and greasy thing."
Zhao Hanzhang:......
She pushed the plate towards him and said with a smile: "Really? I think it is difficult to change a person's taste. Why don't you give it a try? Maybe you can get back the feeling you had when you were a child."
Now it was Zhao Hu's turn to be speechless. He asked directly: "Can you just tell me what you want from me?"
Zhao Hanzhang raised his eyelids and looked at him, and Zhao Hu felt his heart pounding loudly. This feeling was the same as when he was skipping class when he was a child and fell into his husband's hand.
This made Zhao Hu's face look very ugly. Before she could speak, he reached out to stop her and started to talk a lot, "Do you know how much money I paid yesterday? One thousand two million eight hundred and seventy-eight thousand." Qiansi, if you think this is not enough, then you can ask people to arrest me today. Anyway, I don’t need money, but my life.”
Zhao Hanzhang: "...Seventh Uncle, you are not a person who loves money more than your life. Okay, I know you didn't report the actual amount. I didn't come to you today for the remaining miscellaneous money. I have other things." thing."
Upon hearing this, Zhao Hu exhaled and his pounding heart calmed down. He lazily lay back on the couch and asked, "What's the matter? My heart hurts now. I don't want to worry about anything."
Zhao Hanzhang asked: "Don't you want to hear about making money?"
Zhao Hu snorted and said: "That's not money earned for me, it's money earned for you. I have to pay taxes, and after the money is put into the treasury, I have to pay the money again. It's double money. What in the world?" Is there any truth to this?"
"Calling min money has become a routine in the Han Dynasty, and it was still there in the Cao and Wei Dynasties. Even if the seventh uncle has not experienced it, he should have heard it mentioned in the family, right?"
"My family is not a businessman, nor is it a loan shark. What does this money have to do with me?" Zhao Hu said: "Only you, regardless of whether you eat meat or vegetables, will collect everyone's money."
A lot of resentment.
Zhao Hanzhang just smiled and did not take it seriously, but asked: "Since you are not interested in making money, you are always interested in losing money, right? Your caravans and shops in Jiangnan total nearly ten million. Got the money?"
Zhao Hu was shocked and immediately sat up, "What are you doing? Threatening me?"
Zhao Hanzhang sighed: "Seventh uncle, after so many years, why don't you understand me? Am I the kind of person who can threaten others?"
Zhao Hu snorted coldly in his heart. In order to calculate the money two days ago, she threatened her in front of Zhao Song. In just a few days, she turned around and forgot?
"You also know that Jiangnan is now in the hands of King Langya. He is now targeting me. Many noble families in Jiangnan support him. At this time, aren't your caravans and shops in Jiangnan a target?"
Zhao Hu was stunned and said, "Is this an unreasonable disaster?"
Zhao Hanzhang sneered and said: "Then don't forget who you rely on to have a place in Jiangnan. You can't think of me only when bad things happen. Just forget about the things I've done that are good for you, right?"
Zhao Hu paused for a moment, and then asked: "So what do you mean, you want me to withdraw from Jiangnan Asset Preservation?"
"Why retreat?" Zhao Hanzhang said: "The more they want to suppress you, the more I will help you up. There are so many nobles in Jiangnan, why can't there be no one who thinks favorably of me?"
Zhao Hu slapped his thigh and said, "That's right, we will fight them!"
He will crush all the stumbling blocks on his way to making money and grind them into the soil.
