Need for a Guard

The reason why Xiao Yan agreed to Shi Yue's army expansion plan was entirely because he wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to fight the autumn wind, and he had a very subtle wishful thinking.

Now the plum blossom rebels have reached the verge of making a decision, and it is imminent to expand the army to cope with the complicated situation.

Another point, although Xiao Yan surrendered Tian Fen, if he wanted to firmly control him, he had to suppress him with extraordinary strength. If his military strength was not as good as Tian Fen, would he still be able to tie this wolf?Wolves are the most immoral, but they are soft, bully and fearful. They can't be lambs, they want to be tigers, and they can firmly suppress Tian Fen.

If you want to suppress Tian Fen, you don't need to talk about it, you need to show your strength.

Military expansion is a hard power.

But what does military expansion entail?Need money, a lot of money, at present, Shi Yue is in foreign debts, Tian Fen's worth is at most 200 million taels, including homesteads and so on - what can this little money do?It is enough to search for flowers and ask willows, but there is absolutely no hope of expanding the army.

Who is the ultimate beneficiary of the idea of ​​military expansion?Of course it was the scheming Xiao Yan.

As long as the army is expanded, it can not only fight against Shi Yue, but also suppress Tian Fen. More importantly, it can accumulate forces and be ready to go. As long as the time is right, it can steal Dayan Jiangshan.

Xiao Yan has the strength to expand the army. [

For so many years, he has been plundering gold and silver non-stop. The largest firm in the capital, Jiyunhao, is his property, which involves all kinds of industries, all of which are under Xiao Yan's "manipulation". With huge profits, Xiao Yan used his influence to extend his tentacles to every corner, so how could he not make money?

In terms of real strength, Jiyunhao's financial resources must surpass those of Kong, Meng, Xun, and Hanzhong, but Jiyunhao deliberately kept a low profile, and Xiao Yan used his power to reduce or exempt Jiyunhao's taxes. The real financial resources of the Jiyun were calculated, so the existence of such a behemoth was unknown to outsiders.

This outsider is naturally an idler, and Kang Shanzhen, Bai Mochou, Shi Yue, Tian Fen and others are well aware of it.

Xiao Yan returned to the mansion and discussed his thoughts with Cheng Ye. Unexpectedly, they coincided with Cheng Ye. Xiao Yan smiled: "After decades of patience, I finally have the opportunity to blatantly expand the army. Didn't Shi Yue give it to us?" A big gift?"

Cheng Ye hastily complimented: "It's still my father-in-law who manages well. The real financial resources of our Jiyun House are definitely more than any of the four big giants in the south of the Yangtze River. It's not a piece of cake to use the money to raise soldiers, it's just Tian Fen..."

"he?"

Xiao Yan snorted coldly: "He's a wolf, let's ignore him, it's his ability to find money to expand the army, if he doesn't have the ability, then he will be obediently chained by me."

Cheng Ye said: "Father-in-law is really skilled."

Xiao Yan laughed triumphantly, took a sip of the fragrant tea leisurely, and said, "Has Liu Dong's family from the Jiyun come? Let's discuss this matter in a long-term way."

Cheng Ye said: "I have already sent someone to invite him, he will come in a while."

Xiao Yan nodded: "After a while, you will post the notice on the expansion of the Jiumen City Guards. If there are too many, you dare not say it. It will not be difficult to expand the army by another 1 people."

"Father-in-law is a good handiworker, my son-in-law will do it now." Cheng Ye hurried out, thinking with joy in his heart, Jiumen City Guard now has 5000 people, and if the army is expanded by 1 people, it will be 5000 people. With a huge army in hand, it is also awe-inspiring.

"This old thief Xiao Yan must be very happy, right?"

Bai Mochou crossed her legs and sipped the tea leisurely, "This bald man is waiting for the day when the army expands! He has a lot of money, so I don't know that the Jiyun is his property? Hmph, Tian is the one who suffers." Burned, this guy has 1 people in his hands, he can compete with Cheng Ye, wait for the Nine Gates City Guard to expand its army, and become a giant, Tian Fen will become a chicken rib, besides humiliating Xiao Yan, what other way out? "

Hearing what Bai Mochou said was interesting, Shi Yue chuckled: "My lord uncle, it's not necessarily true, Tian Fen might take the opportunity to defect to the Mongols, who can say for sure?"

"En, not bad!" Bai Mochou put the teacup heavily, and said cautiously: "This matter has to be guarded against, and..."

Bai Mochou frowned and said, "Is there any future for your military expansion plan? In the end, don't let the bamboo basket go to waste! If you can't raise money, it's a small thing to lose face, and it's a confidant to make Xiao Yan bigger." Big trouble."

"What are you afraid of?" Shi Yue smiled slightly: "I have Gewuyuan in my hand, and if I use it a little bit, I will be able to make a lot of money. Don't worry, my uncle. Besides, don't be afraid of Xiao Yan's expansion of the army. The more the better. That's what it means to marry someone."

Bai Mochou asked doubtfully, "How do you say that?"

Shi Yue knocked on the table, said: "Master Uncle, have you forgotten this wonderful move by the little playboy?"

"That's right! That's right, that's right." Bai Mochou suddenly realized, and laughed loudly: "Shi San, you are still clever, with the demeanor of a wise man like me back then."

Shi Yue hurriedly complimented him, thinking: You were known as a hooligan when you were young, when did you become a wise man?

Xiao Yan posted a notice to recruit troops, and of course Shi Yue was unwilling to lag behind, and spread the news of his subordinates' army expansion, but Tian Fen was the only one who panicked like an overheated ant.

Tian Fen couldn't guess what Shi Yue had planned to expand the army, but he could guess that Xiao Yan must have the ability to expand the Nine Gates City Guards, and he also guessed that Xiao Yan would take the opportunity to expand the army vigorously to expand the Nine Gates City Guards .

In this way, he is the one who suffers the most.

He has no money in his hands, and it is impossible to ask Xiao Yan for help. He thinks that he can barely treat Xiao Yan as an equal when he cooperates with Xiao Yan now, but as long as the Jiumen City Guard succeeds in expanding the army, he will only be reduced to Xiao Yan's pawn.

"I will never be reconciled!"

Tian Fen's heart skipped a beat: I don't have money, I can grab it.

In order to achieve his goal, Tian Fen vowed not to give up. In the name of security checks, he swept across the capital in one day, arrested many big shopkeepers and second shopkeepers of many companies, and punished them under clever names. To extort money, whoever gives the money will be let go.

For a while, the people in the capital were panicked, and they were all afraid of an imminent disaster.

Naturally, Bai Mochou, Shi Yue, Zhang Zheng and the others would not allow Tian Fen to do anything wrong and announce Tian Fen's evil deeds to the public in the early court.

Yan Jing's face darkened: "Vice Envoy Tian, ​​is there such a thing?"

Tian Fen spoke eloquently, and said: "These businessmen are involved in fraud, extortion, tax evasion, fights, disregard for human life and other evil deeds. I am here to maintain the law and order of the capital, but it has nothing to do with making money. The quality of Prime Minister Xiao As a person, I can also testify for me."

Xiao Yan smiled slightly, glanced at Tian Fen, and said, "Vice Envoy Tian's words are wrong!"

As soon as this remark came out, everyone was shocked, Tian Fen blushed, but only Bai Mochou and Shi Yue looked calm and breezy, as if they had expected it.
