The First Young Master of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 256 Usefulness
That's right, when Xuan Shijing knew that he couldn't be an idle dude, he set his sights even bigger. When all the dignitaries were staring at Chang'an, he had already learned to understand the whole Tang Dynasty. The grown-ups look at the Tang Dynasty, and Xuan Shijing has already set his sights on the surrounding countries. When civil servants and military generals want to forge ahead and shock the surroundings, Xuan Shijing is thinking about whether to form a fleet to open up a new world. up.

The Tang Dynasty has a vast territory. Although it is so, it has been more than a thousand years to support one generation after another. Our own resources are always limited. It is better to go to the outside world to get some back. As for these local treasures, we will give them to future generations. Keep some.

"Thank you for your teaching." Although Qiandui was confused by Xuan Shijing's words, Qiandui understood the general meaning, which is to save himself those unnecessary worries. the place is so small
Xuan Shijing waved his hand, indicating that Qiandui can go to work.

Qian Dui bowed and resigned.

Watching Qiandui go downstairs, Xuan Shijing smiled, then sat on the chair again, picked up the two letters sent by Qiandui, and opened them.

One was a message sent back by Qiandui's spy in Li Yuanjing's mansion in Chang'an, and the other was a message about the manpower in Jingzhou.

After reading it roughly, Xuan Shijing touched his chin and said with a smile: "It's really interesting, Gao Jun."

"Your subordinate is here." Gao Jun stood behind Sworn Jin and bowed his hands in salute.

"Send a few people to Jingzhou to find out about Li Yuanjing's situation there." Xuan Shijing said.

The matter of investigating Li Yuanjing cannot be investigated by local people in Jingzhou. It is better to be someone with a face. It is better to be less involved in this kind of thing. It is also considered to send the people from Jingzhou to Xiangzhou. If you really do it in Jingzhou according to the previous plan, you must arrange all the escape routes, including the people on the mountain. Some old and young people are bound to make big moves. Now it's time to send people to Xiangzhou, and return to Jingzhou after finishing this vote. I'm afraid Li Yuanjing would never have imagined that it was the people in his own fiefdom who beat him hard. hand it.

The robbed money will naturally be transported back to Chang'an by the people arranged by Chang'an. After thinking about the way, Xuan Shijing asked the Hanzhong Chamber of Commerce of Shengtang Group to go to Xiangzhou in the name of purchasing new year's goods for Chang'an Xungui. take a trip.
Cheng Mansion, Qin Mansion, Li Mansion, plus Dongshanhou Mansion, who would dare to look carefully at the new year's goods purchased by the three houses along the way?
Even Li Yuanjing would not dare to easily offend Cheng Yaojin and Li Xiaogong and others, let alone Li Xiaogong is still his uncle.

In this way, the Hou Mansion won a Xuanwu hug for nothing.

Thinking of this, Xuan Shijing couldn't help but smile.

"Yes." Gao Jun replied.

"The key point is to check whether Li Yuanjing has raised an army in Jingzhou." Xuan Shijing said indifferently.

It stands to reason that at this time, Li Yuanjing was going back to Chang'an for the New Year, so it was most appropriate to keep the money in Chang'an to buy people's hearts, but why would he want to transport it to Xiangzhou and ask for face-to-face investigation?Such a large amount of money, and it is all copper coins, has not been exchanged into other hard currencies, and it is just transported in the original way, there must be something strange in it.

If it was used as a gift, the copper coins would look too vulgar. I heard from Qiandui that Li Yuanjing also had a lot of business in the south, and the money earned from those businesses was definitely enough for his expenses in the fief. If there are some shortfalls in business, it is unreasonable. In business matters, there are few things that can be hidden from Qiandui, let alone Li Yuanjing, who is a key caretaker. Looking at the news and account books handed over by the various shopkeepers, it is enough to control any news in any place where the Hou Mansion Chamber of Commerce in Datang is. The money pile, because it means that the money pile can be empty-handed and the white wolf can take over an open stall at a very small price.

If it is said that Tang Dynasty likes Li Yuanjing the most, it is probably none other than Qiandui. Qiandui's liking for Li Yuanjing is probably more than Li Yuan's love for Li Yuanjing. Without it, Li Yuanjing is really a big fan of Qiandui Lord.

In Qiandui's impression, this Li Yuanjing is just four words, he is stupid and has a lot of money.

Of course, this also has a lot to do with the state of the Tang Dynasty in recent years. Among many Li Yuanjing's subordinates, many people have no hope for Li Yuanjing's victory, and they have begun to muddle along in doing things, so they let the money pile up. There is an opportunity to take advantage of.

Li Yuanjing's business in the south is not abnormal, so in Xuan Shijing's view, the money shipped out is most likely for the purpose of distributing military pay to the army.

The cost of raising an army cannot be supported by Li Yuanjing's income from the fiefdom and his business income. Although the business of Jubao Building in Chang'an is still booming, it is not as good under the operation of the money pile. In the past, because the money was piled up on the opposite side of Jubao Building, a gambling shop was also opened, and the mahjong made by Xuan Shijing was also introduced!
When mahjong is played, who will compete with it?

Of course, after Xuan Shijing knew about it, he got some new things for Qiandui, such as fried golden flowers, fighting the landlord, blackjack, etc., which made the gambling shop opened by Qiandui more prosperous. Only by relying on the year and regular customers to operate.

It is conceivable that once the people sent by Gao Jun find out Li Yuanjing's army, it will be another big bargaining chip for winning Li Yuanjing's bone.

What does a prince who is away from home and has a lot of soldiers under his command want to do?hunt?I'm afraid even Li Yuanjing himself wouldn't believe it.

"Young Master suspects that King Jing transported this batch of money back to pay the army?" Gao Jun said.

"That's right, this batch of money is not a small amount, plus what he earned from Jiangnan business, not only the food and salary, but also the wealth." Xuan Shijing smiled and said: "I'm looking forward to it, I don't know How will Li Yuanjing react when he finds out that this batch of money has been robbed right under his nose."

Speaking of this, Xuan Shijing suddenly thought of an idea, perhaps, things can be more interesting.

"Gao Jun, I will entrust you and Qiandui to do this matter together. You will take the caravan from Chang'an and go to Xiangzhou in person, and prepare some boxes that are exactly the same as those containing money, and put two extra stones in them. , and transport it to Xiangzhou as goods, when the time comes."

"Swap the pillars!" Gao Jun's eyes lit up: "Find an opportunity to exchange these boxes with those containing money. In this way, we can buy some time for deployment."

"That's right." Xuan Shijing smiled.
