Monument Yangmen

Chapter 445
After entering the mansion, Yang Qi recruited Yang Hong who stayed in the mansion to help Yang Qi.

"Uncle Hong, turn around and go down to Zhuangzi to have a look. This time, he died in the house of the soldiers in Yang's house, and each family will give some money. Our Yang family can't let people shed blood and cry for us."

Yang Hong wondered: "Master Qi, the master sent people to distribute the pensions to the family of Zhuangzi Shangfu soldiers. For those who were unwilling to ask for pensions, the master directly recruited them into the mansion and became servants or soldiers.

Moreover, in order to treat you, the master sold a lot of his family property.There is no money left at home. "

Yang Qi froze for a moment, looking at the empty main hall of the Yang Mansion.

He thought that Lao Yang moved all his things to Daizhou, but he didn't expect to sell them off.

Will the Yang family run out of money?
Yang Fu may do it, but Cao Lin won't.

The money Cao Lin currently holds is enough to organize a war against the Liao Kingdom.

Presumably, Cao Lin didn't get his permission, so she didn't dare to add money to Yang's mansion easily.

Yang Qi gave a wry smile, and asked, "How much did my father send to the families of those soldiers in the village?"

Yang Hong raised two fingers and said, "20 taels per family..."

"not enough."

Yang Qi sighed, and said, "I'll fix a book in a while, and you can take it to the newly opened Nanguo Money Bank in Bianjing City for 1 taels. Each family will send 100 taels there. Also tell them that they are willing to live in Daizhou Yes, the manor can give them travel expenses and hire guards for them. Those who don’t want to go, each household can get [-] mu of fertile land from the village of Yang Manor.”

I have to admit that Xie Tao is actually a genius in the business field.

Under his management, the Hong Kong-Macau Terminal in the southern country has gradually become a place similar to a maritime trade center.

Many business travelers who pass through the southern country like to dock their ships there.

Some businessmen from the Song Dynasty directly moved to the Hong Kong and Macau ports, where they did business with foreign businessmen.

Then after the delivery is completed, the goods will be shipped to Dasong.

Of course, the commercial law of the Southern Kingdom played a vital role in this.

In short, relying on the capital reserves on the Hong Kong and Macau terminals.

After obtaining Yang Qi's consent, Xie Tao opened the Nanguo money bank out of the country.

So far, there are two Nanguo Banks abroad.

One is Bianjing City in the Song Dynasty.

The other is in Youzhou City in Liao Kingdom.

Yang Hong exclaimed in surprise: "Seventh Lord, just give the money, why are you still distributing the property of the mansion. This is a prodigal family, the master will definitely not agree."

Hearing Yang Hong's exclamation, Yang Qi said angrily: "Prodigal is a fine tradition handed down by our old Yang family. Back then, my father gave the Yinlin Erzhou to Liu Zhiyuan, the king of the Northern Han Dynasty. I will give some now. Tian Chan, what's the matter?"

Yang Qi said so, but in fact he was cutting off Lao Yang's back.

Lao Yang thought about going back to Bianjing in the future, so he kept all the properties of the Yang family in Bianjing.

Yang Qi felt that Lao Yang's approach was a bit sloppy, so he simply cut off Lao Yang's retreat.

Yang Hong didn't understand what Yang Qi was thinking in his heart.

He saw Yang Qi talking about the prodigal so grandly, he seemed to strangle Yang Qi to death.

In this era when the land is regarded as a treasure, those who sell the land for no reason are all prodigal sons.

"I don't feel sorry for selling my father's land..."

The corner of Yang Hong's mouth twitched and he sighed.

Yang Qi widened his eyes immediately, and shouted: "I am the biggest in Yang's mansion now, and I have the final say. Why don't you go quickly? Get the land deed and go to Nanguo Bank to get the money, which also needs to be mortgaged. By the way, the land deed and house deed of the mansion are also I took it and turned it into silver. Recently, I have important things to do, so I will continue to use the money."

"Prodigal!"

Yang Hong wailed, covered his face and walked away.

Yang Qi sat in the main hall of Yang Mansion, with a bright smile on his face.

Although Yang Hong felt distressed, he still followed Yang Qi's instructions.

The property of the Yang Mansion, together with the land deeds and house deeds of the Yang Mansion, was mortgaged from the Nanguo Money Bank for a total of 15 taels of silver.

The land properties of the Yang Mansion add up to 10 taels.

Tianbo Yang's House mortgaged 5 taels of silver.

In the early Song Dynasty, houses in Bianjing were not expensive.

If this was placed in the Renzong or Yingzong period.

This house of the Yang family is worth a million taels.

In exchange for money.

Yang Hong followed Yang Qi's instructions and went to Yang's village to distribute money from door to door.

Almost all the families of the soldiers who participated in the defense of the Yang Mansion received a considerable amount of silver.

Everyone was elated after receiving the huge amount of silver distributed by the Yang family for the second time.

When Yang Hong proposed to let everyone move to Daizhou.

The people in Zhuangzi immediately divided into two factions.

A group of people have already gotten used to the prosperity of Bianjing city, and they don't want to leave again.

Another group headed by Wang Gui chose to be loyal to Lao Yang.

From Yang Hong's words, they heard that Lao Yang wanted to settle in Daizhou, so they agreed to move to Daizhou without saying a word.

With Wang Gui at the head, Yang Hong will not be in charge of the relocation work later on.

Wang Gui took almost everything on his shoulders.

Yang Qi asked Yang Hong to send 1 taels of silver to Wang Gui for them to use on the road.

Wang Gui was also polite and accepted it directly.

The traces of the Yang family in Bianjing City were quietly erased by Yang Qi.

When Yang Qi moved out of Tianbo Yang's Mansion.

This Tianbo Yang Mansion will also fall into the hands of Nanguo Bank in name.

And the Yang family's series of actions naturally attracted the attention of interested people.

this afternoon.

Cao Bin hurried to the Yang Mansion in a sedan chair.

As soon as he entered the door, he didn't bother to sit down. Cao Bin pointed to Yang Qi's nose and asked, "Good son-in-law, tell me, what kind of medicine do you sell in this gourd?"

Yang Qi asked Cao Bin to sit down, ordered someone to serve a cup of fragrant tea, and said with a smile: "Old Taishan, are you asking this question on behalf of His Majesty, or on behalf of yourself?"

Cao Bin sat down angrily, took a sip of fragrant tea, and moistened his throat.

Cao Bin said angrily, "On behalf of His Majesty, I also represent myself."

Yang Qi sat up straight, smiled and said: "If you represent His Majesty, then I will tell you. My Yang family will not play with you. I plan to take my wife and children and live in seclusion in Daizhou. If you represent yourself, then Let me tell you, I plan to start a strategy in the Northwest. A major event is approaching, and I don't want the Yang family to be buried in this event."

Cao Bin frowned, and asked in a deep voice, "How do you say that?"

Yang Qi drank his tea disorganized and said with a soft smile: "Can't you see that His Majesty's tolerance for generals has reached the limit?"

Cao Bin was pinching the tea bowl, his fingers turning blue, "Of course I can see that. This time, His Majesty did not stop the destruction of the Fu family and the Dang family, but instead contributed to it behind the scenes. From this, it can be seen that His Majesty hates us generals for not dying."

"So, His Majesty is likely to prepare a big show in order to destroy the generals. Once the big show starts, there will be countless generals who will fall because of this."

Yang Qi's words were light and airy.

Hearing it in Cao Bin's ears was like a firecracker exploding.

Cao Bin asked impatiently: "What big show? When do you think His Majesty will start this big show?"

Yang Qi thought about it carefully, and pondered: "I can't tell you what big show it is now. But I can tell you when it will start. Originally, this big play will take five years. However, it seems to be ahead of schedule now, and I guess it will be shortened." It's been three years.

Three years later, when the second prince was established as the crown prince, it was the beginning of this big drama. "

Cao Bin breathed a sigh of relief, grinned and said, "There are still three years left, so the old man can rest assured. The old man is planning something about Dali recently. There are already some clues. Would you like to help the old man to look into it?"

Yang Qi smiled and said, "Yes, but I have two conditions."

Cao Bin glared immediately, and said in a low voice, "You still make terms with your father-in-law?"

Yang Qi looked sideways and stared at Cao Bin with a smile, "I don't have to ask for any conditions, as long as you agree, after taking Dali, your Cao family is willing to listen to me."

Cao Bin immediately turned his face, "That's not okay. After taking Dali, my Cao family will still be at your disposal. What good is there for me to plot Dali? Our Cao family is now in the Song Dynasty, and we are the number one general. Old man Take the risk to go crazy with your kid, but in the end you end up being the number one general of Fanbang. What is the old man trying to do?
Use a big one for a small one?Are you stupid as an old man? "

Yang Qi wasn't angry either, he still smiled and said: "Then you have to promise me two conditions."

Cao Bin's eyes flickered, hesitantly said: "Tell me about your conditions first."

Yang Qi put his arms around his chest, nodded and said: "First, Cao Wei's first son, and Cao Qi's first son, must be sent to me, and I will teach them.

Second, from today onwards, your Cao family, as well as the generals who are vassals under your Cao family, must support Zhao Defang's ascension. "

Cao Bin stood up abruptly, and said with a look of astonishment: "Are you crazy for supporting Zhao Defang? This is against His Majesty. Once His Majesty finds out about this, the old man's head will be lost. Cao's family is full, and we must Follow the old man and go down to Jiuquan together."

Yang Qi shrugged and said with a smile: "Risks and rewards go hand in hand. Don't you want to be a righteous king of Dali? Once Zhao Defang takes power, you will sit in Dali and claim the title of a legitimate king of Dali. It's easy."

Do you want your descendants to sit on the throne of King Dali in the future, but bear someone else's surname? "

Yang Qi's words hit Cao Bin's weakness.

People like Cao Bin who have experienced the wars of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms have the most adventurous spirit.

He doesn't mind taking risks as long as it's profitable.

The premise is that this benefit is worth his risk.

Yang Qi struck while the iron was hot, and said: "I am not asking you to support Zhao Defang as the leader now, but to support Zhao Defang as the leader when the time is right. Cao Lin is my wife, and you are her father. I will not harm you." Your family is ruined."

Cao Bin's eyeballs were rolling around in his sockets, and he asked in a deep voice, "Is it related to the big drama you are talking about when you pushed Zhao Defang to the top?"

Yang Qi nodded.

Cao Bin narrowed his eyes, trying his best to guess what the drama Yang Qi was talking about.

It's a pity that after guessing for a long time, I couldn't guess a little clue.

After a while, he said solemnly: "If you can support Zhao Defang's ascension while preserving the Cao family, I can agree."

Yang Qi nodded in satisfaction, and said, "Then let's talk about Dali."

Cao Bin was silent for a while, then suddenly asked: "Can the old man know why you want Shiro and Hachiro's sons to train them yourself?"

Yang Qi grinned, and said calmly: "I said it was a whim, and I'm embarrassing you, do you believe me?"

Cao Bin said with a dark face, "Are you stupid as an old man?"

What Yang Qi said was the truth, but Cao Bin didn't believe it.

After negotiating the conditions, Yang Qi and Cao Bin started to plan matters related to Dali.

With the current state of the Song Dynasty with strong troops and many generals, it is obviously easy to conquer a Dali.

Coupled with the fact that Cao Bin, a commander-in-chief, led the army, the conquest of Dali was even easier.

All that's missing now is an excuse.

The rebellion of Wang Xiaobo and others has all been suppressed by Hu Yanzan and returned to Shuzhong, and it has been effectively controlled now.

Hastily threw out a reason for Wang Xiaobo's collusion with Dali's rebellion to the court.

It is very likely that the imperial court will ask Hu Yanzan to teach Dali a lesson after he suppresses the rebellion of Wang Xiaobo and others.

At that time, Cao Bin really had nothing to do.

Therefore, a good excuse must be found to allow Cao Bin to dispatch troops smoothly.

Weng and son-in-law discussed for a long time.

Finally, it was decided that troops from the Southern Kingdom would be dispatched from Yongzhou, bypassing the mountains, sneaking into Shuzhong, pretending to be Dali soldiers and horses, and helping Wang Xiaobo.

Cao Bin took the opportunity to lead his troops to the expedition.

Yang Qi can take this opportunity to bring the hundreds of thousands of refugees in Wang Xiaobo's hands into Nanguo's command.

Kill two birds with one stone.

Weng and son-in-law discussed it.

It's not been five days.

An urgent letter from eight hundred miles from the middle of Sichuan was delivered to Zhao Guangyi's desk.

For Dali's provocation.

Zhao Guangyi was furious.

A little Dali provoked Wang Xiaobo and others to rebel.

All of a sudden, three prefectures and eighteen states were involved.

Nearly 10 people were killed in this rebellion.

As a result, the court's tax revenue was reduced by [-]%.

How could Zhao Guangyi not be angry?
Zhao Guangyi, who was inspired to become an emperor comparable to the emperor of Qin, Han and Wu through the ages, immediately held a grand court meeting after he got the [-]-mile rush.

In this big court meeting.

The military generals came forward to challenge the fight one after another, and the civil officials also stood up to fight in order to maintain their face because of the corruption of Shuzhong officials.

Cao Bin and Gao Huaide challenged each other several times.

In the end, Zhao Guangyi appointed Cao Bin as the Marshal of the Army and Horses, commanding 20 imperial troops, [-] Xiang troops, and [-] civilian husbands, and sent troops to conquer Dali.

Moreover, Shen Lun, who had just recovered from his illness, was selected as the supervisor of the army.

three days later.

Cao Bin gathered his soldiers and horses, led his conquest army, and held a huge swearing-in meeting in front of Nanxun Gate.

At the swearing-in meeting.

Zhao Guangyi made a speech in person, promised many benefits, inspired the soldiers, and rushed towards Dali screaming.

And Yang Qi, the pusher behind the scenes, hid in a corner of the city wall, sitting and watching the [-] forbidden troops marching towards Dali mightily.

From beginning to end, the smile on his face never stopped.
