Happy life in the world of film and television

Chapter 984 Sun Erniang? Goodbye Tang Ying, salt merchant Ma Dechang

"Liangshan bandits?" Zhao Jian's expression changed and he asked, "Are you telling the truth?"

"Didn't you see it?" Jiang Chen pointed in the distance.

Zhao Jian turned around and saw silence in the distance.

"It will appear right away." Jiang Chen said.

Soon, a group of people appeared in the sight of Jiang Chen and others.

"They are really Liangshan bandits. There are at least a thousand of them." Zhao Jian's expression changed.

"Get ready to fight." Jiang Chen said.

"Fight?" Zhao Jian looked at Jiang Chen in shock.

Although Jiang Chen defeated Gongsun Sheng and others just now, can they defeat thousands of Liangshan bandits?

"Princess, this is war, it's child's play to me." Jiang Chen got on his horse and faced the Liangshan bandits.

Yuan Jin'er, Song Yinzhang and Cheng Ruoyu followed closely behind.

"Whoosh!"

"Doesn't this mean that Song Jiang's plot has begun?"

Wang Ying's plot flashed through Jiang Chen's mind.

Before he could resist, the arrow shot into his chest.

"Wang Ying is now with the Liangshan bandits?"

Wang Ying groaned and fell off the horse.

"Who is coming?" Jiang Chen held the Tianlong City Breaking Halberd in his hand and looked at the person coming.

"you wanna die."

He is also a character in the 11th edition of "Water Margin".

Bai Pingting and Hu Sanniang still stayed by Zhao Jian's side according to the previous arrangement.

On her head are three righteous crowns, gold rings and jade diamonds; on her body are flowers robes, brocade woven with flowers. The armor is covered with thousands of fire dragon scales, and the belt is covered with a red agate belt. Riding a rouge-smeared horse is like a dragon, and it makes a vermilion painted pole and a square halberd. The small school behind them is all red-clad and red-armored.

"Tell me, can I kill you with one arrow?" Jiang Chen drew his bow and arrow, pointing at Lu Fang from a distance.

"Master of Duiying Village?"

In the play, he is nicknamed Xiao Wenhou and is a native of Tanzhou. He was originally the leader of Duiying Village. When he was fighting with Guo Sheng, he was separated by Hua Rong with an arrow, so he went to Liangshan. When Liangshan gathered in Yiyi, he became one of the 108 generals, ranking 54th. He was appointed to the local star, and his duty was to guard the heroic generals of the Chinese army and horse army. He died in Wulongling during the expedition to Fangla and was awarded the title of Yijielang.

"It seems that because of my appearance, the plot of this integrated world of film and television has changed somewhat."

"I am from the imperial court." Jiang Chen said.

"Kill, who are you?" Wang Ying asked.

"Little Lu Bu?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Chen picked up the Overlord's bow, opened the bow and nocked an arrow, and shot out an arrow.

"who are you?"

He is none other than Wang Ying.

"That's it? You want to deal with Grandpa You..." Before Wang Ying finished speaking, there was fear in his eyes.

A sneer appeared at the corner of Jiang Chen's mouth.

In the play, he is nicknamed Short-footed Tiger, a Lianghuai surname, from the Che family, and was originally the leader of the second village of Qingfeng Mountain. Because he rescued Song Jiang and made a big fuss in Qingzhou, he went to Liangshan to join the gang. He attacked Zhujiazhuang three times and then married Hu Sanniang. When Liangshan gathered in Yiyi, he became one of the 108 generals, ranking 58th. He was assigned to "Diweixing" and his duty was to be the leader of the cavalry army who was responsible for the investigation within the three armies. He died in Muzhou during the expedition to Fangla and was named Yijielang.

"You mean Gongsun Sheng? Of course he was killed by me." Jiang Chen recognized the person.

"Commander Wang..."

"Take a step forward and die." Jiang Chen said coldly.

"You." A chill flashed in Lu Fang's eyes.

The arrow turned into a stream of light and shot towards Wang Ying.

"People from the imperial court?" Wang Ying's eyes swept over Jiang Chen and others, and he suddenly burst into laughter: "Are you from the imperial court? Boy, the girl next to you is quite beautiful. Let me, Wang Ying, play with you today. Just play.”

"A little thief like you deserves to know my identity?" Jiang Chen said coldly.

"It seems that the Liangshan bandits have united with many people from the village this time."

Jiang Chen took a closer look and saw that it was Lu Fang.

The faces of the Liangshan bandits behind Wang Ying changed greatly.

……

"This is crazy..." Zhao Jian murmured.

"Who are you?" A figure ran out from among the Liangshan bandits: "Where is brother Gongsun?"

A horse flew out.

Jiang Chen looked at Lu Fang.

If these Liangshan bandits were in the First World, they might have been wiped out thousands of times.

He doesn't even care about Lu Bu, but what does he care about little Lu Bu?

"shield."

Lu Fang shouted loudly.

Several soldiers came to Lu Fang and formed a shield formation.

"That's it?" Jiang Chen used his inner strength and shot out an arrow.

Whoosh!

The arrow shot into the iron shield and killed a bandit behind the iron shield.

Whoosh!Whoosh!Whoosh!

Jiang Chen shot out arrows.

Nine arrows killed nine bandits holding iron shields.

"It's your turn next." Jiang Chen shot an arrow at Lu Fang.

"It's not that easy to kill me." Lu Fang tried his best to resist and dodge, but he was still hit in the shoulder blade by an arrow.

"Kill me." Lu Fang was furious.

"kill."

Lu Fang's men rushed towards Jiang Chen.

"kill?"

Jiang Chen flew out on his horse and killed him.

"die."

The Tianlong Breaking City Halberd turned into streaks of cold light.

Wherever it passed, flesh and blood flew everywhere.

"kill."

Yuan Jin'er and three others followed closely behind.

Although Yuan Jin'er and the others are not as brave as Jiang Chen, there is no single enemy for these thieves.

"Isn't this too awesome?"

"What method is this?"

Zhao Jian and Hu Sanniang were shocked again.

They never thought that one person could be so powerful.

"Bai Pingting, although your young master is powerful, he is still a human being." Zhao Jian said to Bai Pingting.

"Is the princess worried?" Bai Pingting asked.

"If Duke Yongguo is not our opponent, we people..." Zhao Jian did not continue, but the meaning was obvious.

"Princess, don't worry." In the second world, apart from Li Biyun, Jiang Chen is considered invincible. Don't say that what we are dealing with now is just some bandits. Even if it is a regular army, it is not a problem for Jiang Chen to kill a thousand people by himself.

Zhao Jian glanced at Bai Pingting.

Only then did she realize that Bai Pingting, Jiang Chen's maid, was not simple either.

Is it as powerful as Yuan Jin'er and others?

at this time.

Da da da!

The sound of horse hooves came.

"Is he from the Imperial City Department?" Zhao Jian said.

"Princess Princess, if you know them, go and get in touch with them. Let them take these birthday plans back with them," Bai Pingting said.

Zhao Jian glanced at Bai Pingting and nodded.

……

With the arrival of the elite from the Imperial City Division, and the frightened Liangshan bandits who were killed by Jiang Chen, the bandits fled in a hurry.

"Commander Gu, thank you for coming in time." Jiang Chen came to Gu Qianfan.

"Dong Yongguo." Gu Qianfan saluted.

"Commander Gu, are you clear about your birthday?" Jiang Chen asked.

"It's clear, there's nothing missing." Gu Qianfan didn't expect Jiang Chen to help them find the birthday card. He thought Jiang Chen was here to snatch the birthday card.

"Nothing less will be fine. Commander Gu, I'll leave the rest of the birthday plan to you. I'm going back to Kaifeng Mansion," Jiang Chen said.

"Is Duke Yongguo going back to Kaifeng Mansion now?" Gu Qianfan asked.

"Of course." Jiang Chen nodded: "Commander Gu, today I killed a lot of Liangshan bandits. Those Liangshan bandits will definitely not give up. You have to be careful next time. If necessary, you can fight with Wei Yuanhou Liang Yi cooperates."

"Dong Yongguo, I know it well." Gu Qianfan said.

"That's good." Jiang Chen smiled, turned and left.

After a while, Jiang Chen left with Zhao Jian, Hu Sanniang, Yuan Jin'er and others.

……

"What's in front of you?" Jiang Chen asked.

"Sir, Mengzhou is ahead," Hu Sanniang said.

"Mengzhou?" Jiang Chen nodded.

"Yong... Mr. Jiang, there is a small shop in front. Let's go and have something to eat?" Zhao Jian was originally called Mr. Yong Guo, but after parting ways with Gu Qianfan, Jiang Chen asked her to call him Mr. Jiang.

"Okay." Jiang Chen nodded.

After a while, Jiang Chen and others came to a small shop.

"What would you like to eat, sir?"

A woman came out of the shop.

When Jiang Chen saw this woman, his expression changed slightly.

Almost at the same time, the system prompt sounded.

"Sign in."

Jiang Chen thought silently in his heart.

[Congratulations to the host, you signed in successfully and obtained the Iron Buddha Riding Training Card. 】

"Iron Buddha Riding Training Card?"

"That's not bad."

There are only eight Iron Buddha Cavalry training cards in the system space now. They will need to be used when adding Star Cavalry. Jiang Chen naturally wants to sign in and get a few of them.

Jiang Chen looked at the signing hostess.

Sun Erniang, a character in "Wu Song".

In the play, she is nicknamed Mother Yaksha, the daughter of Shanyaksha Sun Yuan, the wife of Caiyuanzi Zhang Qing, and one of the three female generals of Liangshanbo.

She and her husband Zhang Qing originally opened a black shop at the foot of the big tree cross slope in Mengzhou. On the way to visit Mengzhou, Wu Song had a drink in his hotel. She was drugged with sweat in the wine, but Wu Song saw through it and knocked her to the ground. Just when Zhang Qing hurried back, he found out it was Wu Song. The couple accompanied him to apologize and entertained him warmly. Zhang Qing also became sworn brothers with Wu Song. After Wu Song killed Zhang Doujian and others in Yuanyang Tower, she helped Wu Song disguise himself as a traveler and defect to Erlong Mountain. Soon she and Zhang Qing also joined the gang. When the Three Mountains gathered together to fight against Qingzhou, they returned to Liangshan together. They served as leaders to inquire about information and invite guests. They also opened a hotel to act as eyes and ears for the village. They often participated in battles and fought with the army. Sometimes they even disguised themselves as civilian women and sneaked into enemy camps to cooperate with the rebels. Military action. After Liang Shanbo's entire gang was recruited, she was killed by Du Wei with a flying knife when Fangla was conquered to attack Qingxi County. He was posthumously named "Jingde Junjun".

"Sun Erniang?"

"I didn't expect it to be her."

Jiang Chen frowned and said, "We were just passing by."

Jiang Chen didn't like Sun Erniang and didn't want to have more contact with her. Although he unexpectedly signed in, he just wanted to leave.

Zhao Jian glanced at Jiang Chen in confusion.

"drive."

Jiang Chen drove the horse and drove away.

Yuan Jin'er's four daughters followed closely behind without saying a word.

"Mr. Jiang, what's going on with you?" Zhao Jian asked as he followed Jiang Chen.

"I just want to hurry up." Jiang Chen said.

"Hurry up and hurry up?" Zhao Jian didn't believe it.

"Yes, just hurry up and hurry up." Jiang Chen nodded.

"On your way?" Zhao Jian didn't believe it.

However, Jiang Chen didn't say much.

It was surprising that Sun Erniang could sign in. He didn't want to have contact with Sun Erniang. As for killing Sun Erniang?

Jiang Chen didn't want to do these things if it had nothing to do with him.

An hour later, Jiang Chen and others arrived in Mengzhou.

"Let's take a rest and go to Kaifeng Mansion tomorrow." Jiang Chen said.

"Okay." The girls nodded.

"Princess, have you been to Mengzhou?" Jiang Chen asked.

"I haven't been here before," Zhao Jian said, "but I know Mengzhou Jiedushi."

"Do you know Mengzhou Jiedushi?" Jiang Chen glanced at Zhao Jian.

"I met him when I was in Kaifeng Mansion." Zhao Jian said.

"The princess?"

Just then, a voice came.

Jiang Chen turned around and saw a young master.

"It's him?"

A flash of surprise flashed in Jiang Chen's eyes.

Because this young master is none other than Fan Yu.

Fan Yu in "Changfeng Crossing".

In the play, he is the son of Fan Xuan, the governor of Youzhou. Because Fan Xuan loosened his discipline on Fan Yu, Fan Yu developed a character of eating, drinking and having fun. Fan Yu has no working experience at the grassroots level, and because of his noble birth, he is arrogant and does not understand the world. He thinks that using his power to suppress others can convince everyone. After becoming the crown prince, Fan Yu became even more arrogant and arrogant because of Luo Zishang's deliberate distortion of teachings and Xifeng's seduction, and stabbed Gu Jiusi and his party in the back.

"In the play, Fan Yu is the son of Fan Xuan, the governor of Youzhou."

"Now the Jiedushi of Youzhou has become the Jiedushi of Mengzhou?"

"Is this the change in the world of film and television integration?"

Jiang Chen thought about the plot about Fan Yu.

"Master Fan." Zhao Jian said.

"Why did the princess come to Mengzhou?" Fan Yu walked over.

"Just passing by," Zhao Jian said.

"Passing by? Who is this?" Fan Yu looked at Jiang Chen.

"I am Jiang Chen, a friend of the princess." Jiang Chen replied.

"It turns out to be Mr. Jiang." Fan Yu felt that the name Jiang Chen was familiar, but he didn't think much about it and just said: "Princess, you came to Mengzhou, why don't you let me fulfill my friendship as a landlord."

"This..." Zhao Jian looked at Jiang Chen.

"Mr. Fan, we have to hurry and I'm afraid we can't stay in Mengzhou longer." Jiang Chen said.

"Can't you stay longer?" Fan Yu looked at Jiang Chen with a cold expression.

"Yes." Jiang Chen saw the jealousy in Fan Yu's eyes. It was obvious that Fan Yu was jealous of him being with Zhao Jian.

This reminded Jiang Chen of the situation in the play.

In the play, Fan Yu is Fan Xuan's only son. For Fan Yu, Fan Xuan has made far-reaching plans. In order for him to secure his position more firmly, Fan Xuan cultivated talents, abandoned villains, and planned all escape routes for Fan Yu. I thought this would be foolproof, but Fan Xuan didn't know it until his death. In fact, the most fundamental reason why Fan Yu couldn't support the wall was not Luo Zishang's instigation, but his father, who had far-reaching plans.

Fan Yugang appeared at the gambling table in Lanxiaofang. At that time, Fan Yu was tricked by Lady Xifeng and lost in six rounds of vaulting. In order to recover from the loss, Zhou Ye asked Gu Jiusi for help, hoping that Gu Jiusi could help Fan Yu win back the bet. That was the first time Gu Jiusi and Fan Yu met, but because of Zhou Ye's request, Gu Jiusi risked his life and fortune to continue the horse vaulting bet with Xifeng.

Fortunately, Liu Yuru arrived in time and set up a trap with Gu Jiusi to make Xifeng retreat and defeat Xifeng's inner defense. Otherwise, Fan Yu would have fallen into Luo Zishang's conspiracy due to gambling debts. During the gambling game, Yuru and Zhou Ye saw Lady Xifeng's extraordinary skills and both persuaded Gu Jiusi to give up. Only Fan Yu anxiously held Zhou Ye's hand, fearing that giving up would incur his father's abuse.

It can be said that Fan Yu was a person who did not dare to take risks at the beginning, had a thief's heart but not the courage, and only dared to hide behind Zhou Ye when he did something wrong.

This was also Luo Zishang's first plot against Fan Yu. He wanted to take control of Youzhou through the bet between Xifeng and Fan Yu, but it was a pity that Jiusi reversed the situation.

Later, Luo Zishang formed an alliance with Wang Shanquan and slaughtered Zhangzhou with blood. The Gu family fled to Youzhou. In order to gain the protection of Fan Xuan, the governor of Youzhou, the Gu family donated all their property in exchange for Gu Jiusi becoming a government servant. When Gu Jiusi was a government servant in Youzhou, because he was from a rich family, he was always squeezed out and made things difficult for him by the government officials. Despite this, Gu Jiusi still tried his best to win the approval of the officials.

But at this moment, Fan Yu found out about Gu Jiusi's previous trouble. He actually punished all the government officials indiscriminately for carrying sacks as a warning to the government officials. For this reason, Jiusi was beaten with a sack by the officer! Fan Yu is not only afraid to take risks, but also acts recklessly and likes to bully others. This shows that he is narrow-minded and easily provoked by others.

After Fan Xuan became emperor, Fan Yu always wanted to show his ability to his father, and proposed in court to investigate the case of treasury losses. Fan Xuan knew that this case involved the interests of many people, and he also knew how much obstacles he would encounter, so he declined Fan Yu's request and handed the case over to Jiusi for investigation, which disappointed Fan Yu. Later, when I heard Fan Xuan praising Gu Jiusi's ability due to the bank case, his feelings of jealousy and hatred filled the screen.

"Jealousy, without a heart, can hardly achieve great things."

"In Changfengdu, the emperor's power fell aside, and the military governors from all sides competed for hegemony in the world."

"Now that "Changfengdu" is integrated into the Song Dynasty, I don't know what will happen."

"Will the rights of these Jiedushi envoys be increased in the future?"

Guesses flashed through Jiang Chen's mind.

"Mr. Jiang, do you want to make the decision for the princess?" Fan Yu asked.

"I am not making the decision for the princess, but the princess must listen to me this time." Jiang Chen said.

"Is this different?" Fan Yu said.

"Of course it's different. This is what Prince Zhao meant. If Mr. Fan has any objections, he should go to Prince Zhao." Jiang Chen said.

"..." Fan Yu.

"Princess, let's go." Jiang Chen said to Zhao Jian.

"Okay." Zhao Jian could tell at a glance what kind of person Fan Yu was. Relatively speaking, she was more willing to stay with Jiang Chen.

……

The next day, Jiang Chen and others returned to Kaifeng Mansion.

"Dong Yongguo, aren't you going into the city?" Zhao Jian asked.

"What are you doing in the city? I will return to Hezhong Mansion in a moment." Jiang Chen said.

"Go back to Hezhong Mansion later?" Zhao Jian thought Jiang Chen would meet Emperor Cheng Zhao.

"Yes." Jiang Chen nodded.

"Dong Yongguo, I think your Majesty will definitely summon you because of your birthday." Zhao Jian said.

"It is my duty to retrieve the birthday card, so there is no need to disturb His Majesty." Jiang Chen said.

"Dong Yongguo, I don't know anything about the court affairs, so I'll take my leave now." Zhao Jian did not continue. After all, her status as a princess did not allow her to say too much in this regard.

"Princess, go slowly." Jiang Chen looked at Zhao Jian with a smile and said, "I think we will meet again soon."

Zhao Jian's heart trembled.

Jiang Chen was talking about concubinage.

Does Jiang Chen really want to...

Although Jiang Chen is the Duke of Yongguo at a young age, holds the Jiang family's army, and holds a high position of power, how can she, Zhao Jian, the dignified princess, be a concubine?

After Zhao Jian left, Jiang Chen took the girls back to Jingxiu Villa.

"Hu Sanniang, take a rest at Jingxiu Villa, and then go to Hezhong Mansion with Song Yinzhang." Jiang Chen said to Hu Sanniang.

As long as Hu Sanniang goes to Hezhong Mansion, then when training the Star Cavalry, Hu Sanniang can be added to it. After all, Hu Sanniang is different from ordinary soldiers.

"Okay." Hu Sanniang nodded.

Song Yinzhang understood what Jiang Chen meant and had no objection. After all, she was not the same person she was before.

After arranging for Hu Sanniang to go down to rest, Jiang Chen found Qiu Yan.

"Husband, this is what happened during this period..." Qiu Yan recounted what happened in Kaifeng Mansion in the past few days.

Although the birthday plan happened, in Kaifeng Mansion, due to the night banquet plan and the court party disputes, the situation in the court was even more strange.

"Qiu Yan, we should add fuel to the fire." Jiang Chen said.

"What are you going to do, husband?" Qiu Yan asked.

"I want to support Qin Siyuan." Jiang Chen said.

"In the name of the Duke of Yongguo, do you publicly support Qin Siyuan?" Qiu Yan understood what Jiang Chen meant.

"Yes." Jiang Chen nodded.

Qin Siyuan is the main war faction, and supporting Qin Siyuan can promote the Song Dynasty's Northern Expedition.

As for other things, we can only talk about it after the Northern Expedition of the Song Dynasty.

What's more, the Song Dynasty's Northern Expedition required the preparation of various supplies, and the Jiang family could definitely make money in this area. As for the court not acknowledging its account? That's impossible, after all, the Jiang family is the Yongguo Duke's mansion.

Moreover, even if there is no real money, you can still get other benefits. "Okay, I will make arrangements next." Qiu Yan said.

"Wait a minute and I'll give you a handwritten letter." Jiang Chen said.

"Okay." Qiu Yan nodded, and then said: "Husband, I am going to let Qiu Min go to Hezhong Mansion to have a look."

"Okay, well, Hu Sanniang will also go to Hezhong Mansion next, and I will arrange for Song Yinzhang to take her there. If Qiu Min wants to go too, then let's go together. In terms of security, you arrange Jin Yiwei." Jiang Chen said.

"Okay." Qiu Yan nodded.

"I'm going to Tianyou Capital first." Jiang Chen said.

"Yeah." Qiu Yan nodded.

……

Tianyou Capital.

After arriving in Tianyou capital, Jiang Chen disguised himself as Chu Rang and began to handle Tianyou's government affairs.

Tianyou and Beimang in the north are mortal enemies, but Beimang has strong soldiers and horses, and Tianyou has never been an opponent. Therefore, both the father of Chu Jiuli and others and Chu Rang are afraid of Beimang.

Although the Tiansheng Dynasty was powerful, it was separated from Tianyou by mountains. Although the territories were connected, they were only connected by small roads.

After Chu Rang became the emperor, his attitude towards Tianyou did not change.

However, Jiang Chen is not Chu Rang, so even if he is pretending to be Chu Rang, he has made adjustments to Tianyou's policies.

In the imperial study room of the palace, Jiang Chen met with the ministers one after another.

"I have met His Majesty."

At this time, Lu Yunqi arrived.

"Have you found Chu Jiuling?" Jiang Chen asked.

"Your Majesty, no." Lu Yunqi replied.

"Trash." Jiang Chen looked at Lu Yunqi coldly and said, "I haven't found Chu Jiuling, what are you doing here?"

"Your Majesty, I want to marry the eldest princess." Lu Yunqi said.

"Marrying the eldest princess?" Jiang Chen's eyes narrowed.

The eldest princess is Chu Jiuli.

Is Lu Yunqi impatient?

wrong.

Lu Yunqi saw Chu Rang kill the late emperor.

And Lu Yunqi has Wude Si in his hands.

From Chu Rang's memory, he knew that Chu Rang didn't know if Lu Yunqi had the secret hand to kill the king. In addition, he needed Lu Yunqi's Wude Division to eradicate dissidents, so he married Chu Jiuling to Lu Yunqi.

In Chu Rang's eyes, Chu Jiuling and Chu Jiuli were his bargaining chips.

Of course, Chu Rang is also arranging for people to enter Wudesi, hoping to marry Lu Yunqi instead, but now Wudesi is run like an iron barrel by Lu Yunqi, and he can't get involved at all.

"Yes." Lu Yunqi said.

"If you find Chu Jiuling, will you also marry Chu Jiuli?" Jiang Chen asked.

"Yes." Lu Yunqi replied.

"Let me think about it." Jiang Chen knew that Lu Yunqi was forcing him. Now that his throne was unstable, Lu Yunqi had plenty of bargaining chips.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Lu Yunqi saluted.

"Go down." Jiang Chen wanted to kill Lu Yunqi, but he also knew that now was not the time.

"Yes." Lu Yunqi left the imperial study.

Jiang Chen looked at Lu Yunqi's back with a faint look in his eyes.

"If it weren't for the fact that there are still two days to train the Jin Yiwei, we would have killed Lu Yunqi now."

"However, some things can be arranged."

Chu Rang's identity will not last long, so Jiang Chen must maximize the Jiang family's interests in Tianyou within a limited time.

……

Tianyou Capital Jiang Mansion.

"Xin'er, how about Tan Lingyin?" Jiang Chen asked.

"I have already sent people to contact Tan Lingyin, who came from a business family. She is a little smart and can be cultivated." Feng Xin'er said.

"Tan Lingyin's weakness is her younger brother. In addition, she is from Tianyou, so she is more suitable to be the spokesperson than us." Jiang Chen said.

"Yeah." Feng Xin'er responded.

"By the way, how is the investigation of Tianyou's sea trade business?" Jiang Chen asked.

"Although Tianyou has not closed the country, sea trade is only organized by private organizations..." Feng Xin'er explained the situation of Tianyou's sea trade business.

"I didn't expect that Tianyou and Song Guo were only slightly better." Jiang Chen was also a little surprised.

"Husband, if we want to develop sea trade, we can only develop it ourselves." Feng Xin'er said.

"Well, although we have family teleportation talismans on several continents, the family teleportation talisman only facilitates our people and does not have a big impact on trade. Therefore, sea trade still needs to develop." Jiang Chen said.

The fleet that left Baiyu Island only reached the Eastern Han Dynasty mainland, but made millions of taels of silver.

For this kind of sea trade, you only need to arrange the transfer of goods.

"Yes." Feng Xin'er nodded: "Now I have arranged to recruit crew members."

"When the fleet is formed, we will first arrange the sea trade between Tianyou and Beimang." Jiang Chen asked about the situation in the southern sea area of ​​​​Tianyou.

"There is very little information about the waters south of Tianyou, and we don't have enough people to investigate now. Husband, is there any relevant information in the palace?" Feng Xin'er asked.

"No, in the palace, southern Tianyou is only described as a wilderness." Jiang Chen replied.

"There is a continent in the south of Tianyou, but I didn't expect it to be a wild land." Feng Xin'er sighed with emotion.

"Unexpectedly, due to the limitations of communication equipment and transportation, these are difficult to find." Jiang Chen said.

Feng Xin'er nodded.

In the third world, she was just like everyone else.

Now that I have seen three worlds, my vision has broadened.

"Husband."

Dugu Prajna, Dugu Mantuo and Li Weiyang are back.

"Thank you, madam, for your hard work." Jiang Chen greeted the three Dugu Prajna ladies with a smile.

"It's not hard, just dealing with some things." Dugu Prajna said.

"Now that Universal Bank has opened in Tianyou Capital, I don't know how to promote it next." Dugu Mantuo said.

"This is easy. As Chu Rang, I cooperate with the Jiang family's Universal Bank and use the treasury to exchange Universal Bank banknotes." Jiang Chen said.

"If this is the case, will it cause a big disturbance?" Dugu Mantuo asked.

"As long as the scale is controlled within a certain range, there will be no problem. Moreover, by issuing banknotes, we can start to collect wealth for the Jiang family." Jiang Chen said.

"Yeah, I didn't expect that this money could be played like this." Dugu Mantuo felt that he had less experience before. However, it is precisely because she has seen a lot of things with Jiang Chen that she will slowly change now.

"This is financial means. Mastering a country's finance means mastering the lifeblood of a country. Mantuo, if you are interested in this aspect, you can learn from Chen Xin, Song Ziyan, and Andy. In the future, in the first world , I can arrange a professional teacher for you." Jiang Chen said.

"Well, I'm interested." Dugu Mantuo likes money, so he is interested in finance.

……

February 14th, Eastern Han Dynasty, Luoyang City, Deyang Palace.

"There has been no movement from those aristocratic families during this period?" Jiang Chen asked Zhao Rong, the commander of the Jinyi Guards.

"Yes." Zhao Rong nodded.

"Where are those Yellow Turban Army?" Jiang Chen asked.

"The Yellow Turban Army is only a hundred miles away from Hulao Pass." Zhao Rong said.

"Baili?"

Jiang Chen took a deep breath and said: "It seems that the Yellow Turban Army has made rapid progress during this period. Zhao Rong, go down and call Xun Yu over."

"Yes." Zhao Rong responded and left Deyang Hall.

Half an hour later, Xun Yu came.

"I have met your Majesty."

"Wen Ruo, how much food does Luoyang have now?" Jiang Chen asked.

"To answer your Majesty's question, Luoyang only has one million shi now." Xun Yu said.

"Only one million stones left?" Jiang Chen's face darkened.

"Yes." Xun Yu responded and said: "General Zhengbei went out to take away some of the food and grass, and Cao Cao went to fight the Baibo Army..."

"It's only February now, Wen Ruo, do you have any way to get food?" Jiang Chen asked.

Although one million dan sounds like a lot, to supply hundreds of thousands of troops and suppress the Yellow Turban Army, this million dan of food is simply not enough.

"Your Majesty, I am already thinking of a way." Xun Yu said.

"Wen Ruo, I want to farm." Jiang Chen said.

"Tuntian?"

"Yes." Jiang Chen explained the farming system again.

The farming system was a system in which governments of successive dynasties after the Han Dynasty used soldiers and landless peasants to cultivate wasteland in order to obtain military supplies or tax grains. There are three types of military villages, civilian villages and commercial villages. Farming began in the Western Regions during the reign of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, and was a military camp. In the play, in the first year of Jian'an, Cao Cao adopted the suggestions of Zao Zhi and Han Hao and recruited farmers to work in Xuchang. He obtained millions of dendrobium grains that year. Later, it was extended to various states and counties, and Dian Nong officials recruited people to farm and build villages for the people. The people who live in the fields are exempted from military service and corvee service and are called "the people who live in the fields".

Jiang Chen took out Cao Cao's farming system.

"Now the Yellow Turban Army is raging in Qingzhou, Yanzhou and other places, and there are many uninhabited lands. I am going to use these to farm." Jiang Chen said.

"Your Majesty wants to send troops to the Yellow Turban Army?" Xun Yu asked.

"The Yellow Turban Army is approaching every step of the way and we have to send troops. However, most of the Yellow Turban Army are landless farmers, and most of them cannot survive. Therefore, I am going to collect them and farm on the spot." Jiang Chen said.

"Your Majesty, the lands in Qingzhou and Yanzhou all have owners," Xun Yu said.

"If there is a master, why was it defeated by the Yellow Turban Army?" Jiang Chen understood what Xun Yu meant, but he originally targeted the wealthy families. "Wen Ruo, next you prepare grain."

"Your Majesty, if we don't have cattle, we can't cultivate the fields." Xun Yu said.

"General Zhengbei went to get the cattle." Jiang Chen said.

"..." Xun Yu.

Didn't Lu Bu send troops to defeat the Huns? Is it for the Huns’ cattle?

is it possible?

Although the Huns are not as good as Xianbei.

But it was impossible to seize the cattle from the Xiongnu.

Half an hour later, Jiang Chen ordered Zhang Liao to be the general to conquer the east, leading 20,000 soldiers and horses from Shesheng and Huben to Yanzhou to attack the Yellow Turban Army.

Jiang Chen's order to Zhang Liao was to remove the chief culprit and recruit the Yellow Turban Army.

In Jiang Chen's view, these Yellow Turbans are troublesome labor force.

Whether it is farming or working in a workshop, it is the most suitable.

For this reason, Jiang Chen mobilized hundreds of Jinyi guards and asked them to assist Zhang Liao in recruiting the Yellow Turban Army.

……

"I have met Your Majesty." Tang Ying saluted.

"Queen, there is no need to be polite." Jiang Chen extended his hand to Tang Ying.

"Your Majesty." Tang Ying came to Jiang Chen's side.

"Queen, you are getting more and more beautiful." After Tang Ying was trained as a plum blossom guard, although she still had the youthfulness of a girl, she had a different flavor.

"Your Majesty." Tang Ying felt a little embarrassed when Jiang Chen looked at her.

Jiang Chen hugged Tang Ying and said, "Let me take a good look."

"Your Majesty, I, I can serve you." Tang Ying said.

"We have to wait until you are eighteen years old. But..." Jiang Chen was also helpless. He was under eighteen years old and was too old (mainly because he knew 404).

"But what?" Tang Ying asked.

"However, I can take you to other places and let you grow up quickly." Jiang Chen said.

"Other places?" Tang Ying looked at Jiang Chen puzzled.

"You will know later." Jiang Chen said.

"Your Majesty, do you have any secrets?" Tang Ying asked.

"Well. I have a big secret, do you want to know?" Jiang Chen asked.

"Your Majesty wants to tell me, I will listen." Tang Ying replied.

"You really make me happy. By the way, I still have some skills here. You can practice them." Jiang Chen said.

"What technique?" Tang Ying asked.

"Listen." Jiang Chen said.

Although Tang Ying and Fu Shou participated in the Plum Blossom Internal Guard training, Jiang Chen taught them the basic breathing skills before they trained.

Because in Jiang Chen's opinion, Tang Ying and the others are the same as Shi Yi and others.

……

In the mainland of the Qing Dynasty, Jiang Ning Mansion.

"Want me to meet the salt merchant?" Jiang Chen looked at Wang Hui and others.

"Yes, the most profitable industry in the Qing Continent is salt. This is the relevant information..." Wang Hui handed Jiang Chen a piece of information, and then said: "The Qing Continent is different from other places. We are women, so it is a bit inconvenient. , if we come forward, we will be looked down upon.”

At this point, Wang Hui was also helpless.

After all, this is the custom in the Qing mainland.

She couldn't change even if she wanted to.

"Ma Dechang, the Yangzhou salt merchant, is in Jiangning Mansion now, so..." Wang Hui didn't say the next words, but the meaning was already obvious.

"Okay, I'll go meet Ma Dechang, who I've worked with." Jiang Chen nodded and said, "Send someone over with my greeting card later."

"In what name?" Wang Hui asked.

"In the name of the head of the Jiang family." Jiang Chen knew that salt merchants and the court were closely related, so he didn't want to use Yinzhen's name.

……

Restaurant.

"He is Ma Dechang." Nanya came as Jiang Chen's maid and introduced him after seeing Ma Dechang.

"Is he Ma Dechang?" Jiang Chen recognized it.

This Ma Dechang is the Ma Dechang in "The Salt Merchant of the Qing Dynasty".

In "The Salt Merchants of the Qing Dynasty", the salt merchants in Yangzhou were originally the four major merchants. In fact, they are the four major general agents of the government's salt and iron franchise. The general dealer is responsible for managing Yinhan (the agency's area). Then, relying on the salt quota issued by the government, that is, the official salt quota issued by the government, the general merchant sells the official salt from the government to the secondary agents designated for the quota, and of course, including its own directly operated stores.

The price of official salt was originally only a few cents. However, according to different circumstances, the general dealer can adjust the price at its own discretion. Therefore, sometimes, even official salt can be sold for dozens of yuan. Therefore, during the period when Yantie was under the government, being a salt merchant was a golden job. If you become a general merchant, such profit margins are simply unimaginable.

Because of this, the salt merchants in Yangzhou spend money like water. The children played games with gold marbles and threw gold foil in the river. Laozi, on the other hand, used Yanshan ginseng to feed chickens, wrap...slim...horses, and build...slim...West Lake.

In the play, the four major merchants in Yangzhou are Xiao, Wang, Ma Jia and Bao Jia.

However, Wang Chaozong himself is the son-in-law of the Xiao family, and at the same time, Mr. Xiao is too old. Therefore, in fact, Wang Chaozong is the first of the four major merchants, and at the same time, Yangzhou City is actually the three major merchants. Ma Dechang, who ranked second, has always coveted the position of salt merchant chief executive. Because his grandfather was originally a salt official in Lianghuai, but during the battle between salt merchants, he committed suicide due to failure. Therefore, Ma Dechang always wanted to be a salt merchant, wear a yellow jacket, and win back the favor for his grandfather.

Therefore, the relationship between Ma Dechang and Wang Chaozong is actually a matter of incompatibility in face and heart. Because in Wang Chaozong's words, "Ma Dechang has hatred in his heart, so he cannot be of the same mind as the salt merchant."

Ma Dechang's opportunity to become the boss of the general merchant finally came when Emperor Qianlong was about to tour the south. Because in the Jianghuai area, it has been raining for days. Without sunlight, salt fields in various places would not be able to produce salt. However, the yamen responsible for collecting the salt tax still did what they should do, which led to great public dissatisfaction among the salt workers.

In this case, Wang Chaozong's nephew took the lead in making trouble. As a result, not only was he arrested, but he was later set free by the Lianghuai Salt Administration Akzan. The purpose is very clear, which is to make Wang Chaozong a puppet in Akzan's hands. With Wang Chaozong too busy to take care of himself, Ma Dechang decided to take action. First, they took advantage of the news about the plague and spread the rumor that only bathing with salt can prevent the plague. The purpose is to attract people to hoard salt.

At the same time, Ma Dechang packed up all his family assets and bought a large amount of inventory from other salt merchants. Then while hoarding salt, he started selling salt. As a result, the price of salt began to rise like a rocket. The highest price has risen to nearly 100 yuan. But demand still exceeds supply, because people think life is more important.

When the entire salt industry was about to collapse, Wang Chaozong and Akzhan took action.

Wang Chaozong was originally the chief salt merchant. In fact, he had more inventory in his hands. When he started taking action, he aimed at Ma Dechang's price and lowered his price.

From the current financial perspective, one is short and the other is long. At this time, whichever banker is stronger and has more bullets will determine which way the wind will turn. When everything was almost settled, Akzan, as the administrator of the imperial court, gave Ma Dechang a fatal blow. The government directly issued a document announcing that the use of salt to fight the epidemic was a rumor, and specified the price for the official salt sales.

Ma Dechang fell short in the end, but the common people who grabbed salt at high prices still contributed countless profits to the salt merchants. It doesn't matter whether the profit is in the hands of Ma Dechang or Wang Chaozong. The salt merchants overall made a lot of money, and that was the most important thing.

As a result, Akzan continued to take action, and the emperor's donations for the southern tour were obtained. At this time, the salt merchants who had already made a lot of money were willing to donate their losses for the emperor.

"The Story of Yanxi Palace has already been integrated into this integrated world of film and television. It is not surprising that "The Salt Merchant of the Qing Dynasty" is integrated into this integrated world of film and television."

"In the mainland of the Qing Dynasty, no, even in all countries in the second and third world, salt is the most profitable."

"In the Ming Dynasty, salt tax accounted for more than one-third of the national fiscal revenue, and by the Qing Dynasty, it reached an exaggerated three-quarters. It can be said to be the lifeblood of the national economy."

Jiang Chen understood that this was why Wang Hui and others were interested in the salt market.

"Master Ma." Jiang Chen walked over.

"Are you Jiang Chen?" Ma Dechang looked at Jiang Chen.

"Yes, I am Jiang Chen."

Jiang Chen and Ma Dechangli started chatting.

Ma Dechang looks to be in his forties, and I don't know if the plot has started yet.

The plot of "The Salt Merchant of the Qing Dynasty" begins in the 41st year of Qianlong's reign.

It is now the forty-fifth year of Kangxi's reign.

"It seems that we can only know after going to Yangzhou and understanding the specific situation."

Thinking in his mind, the chat between Jiang Chen and Ma Dechang continued.

"Master Ma, this is the gift I prepared for you." Jiang Chen took a box from Nanya and handed it to Ma Dechang.

"This is it?" Ma Dechang opened the box.

I found the God of Wealth carved in agate.

"Master Ma, I wish you prosperity." Jiang Chen said with a smile.

"You're welcome, Mr. Jiang." Ma Dechang laughed.

This agate carved God of Wealth is worth a fortune at a glance.

"Mr. Jiang, why are you here this time..." Ma Dechang asked.

"Master Ma, this is the first time for our Jiang family to come to Jiangning Mansion, so we want to get some salt." Jiang Chen said.

"Yan Yin?" Ma Dechang narrowed his eyes.

"Yes." Jiang Chen nodded.

The Qing Dynasty imitated the Ming Dynasty to control salt through "Yan Yin", which was a salt sales certificate issued by the imperial court (stipulating the purchased salt field, sales area, sales quantity, etc.). The imperial court sold the salt to salt merchants at a price of 1.5 taels per salt to obtain salt tax. In addition to paying the normal salt tax, salt merchants in the Qing Dynasty also had a special responsibility - to serve as a "cash machine" for the court and the emperor. During every year and festival, one had to pay tribute to honor the emperor, and during every war, disaster, and the emperor's tour, one had to "donate" silver to support the court. As the expenses of the court and the emperor increased, especially when Qianlong began to create a "prosperous age", even wealthy salt merchants could not afford it.

In order to continue to "grow wool" and cope with the expansion of market demand due to population growth, in the eleventh year of Qianlong's reign, the emperor agreed to Ji Qing's petition for the Lianghuai Salt Policy and provided salt in advance. Salt merchants can advance salt sales for the next year to expand sales, meet market supply and increase their "donation" capacity.

For the accrued salt tax, the Lianghuai Salt Administration not only levied the usual salt tax of 1.5 taels per salt, but also collected additional accrued interest from salt merchants, that is, "remaining profit silver" (about 2.1 taels per salt) for "handling errands and tributes." (When the court or emperor comes to apportion money, the money will come out of this first).

Because "The Salt Merchants of the Qing Dynasty" is integrated into this integrated world of film and television, some policies of the Qianlong period are also integrated into it due to the needs of the plot.

Jiang Chen took the salt to prepare for the secret salt.

After all, private salt is the most profitable.

"How much does Mr. Jiang want?" Ma Dechang asked.

"One hundred thousand." Jiang Chen replied.

In the late Ming Dynasty, each salt guide could carry three to four hundred kilograms of salt. However, when the Qing Dynasty entered the customs, reforms began. In order to facilitate management, each salt guide was limited to two hundred kilograms of salt. Now in this integrated world of film and television, 1.6 million shōtiki are issued a year.

"Mr. Jiang, you are joking." Ma Dechang shook his head.

"Master Ma, one hundred thousand salt quotes is not a lot, right?" Jiang Chen said.

"Mr. Jiang, if you want salt quotes, I can give you 10,000 salt quotes a year." Ma Dechang said.

"Ten thousand?"

Jiang Chen shook his head.

Ten thousand pieces of salt, two million kilograms of salt?

The price of delivering a pound of salt is about 10 yuan.

Even if it sells for 80 cents, how much money can be made from two million catties?

"Mr. Jiang, no more," Ma Dechang said.

"That's fine, our Jiang family is in the bank business anyway." Jiang Chen smiled and said, "Master Ma, I hope you can take care of our business in the future."

If the Yangzhou salt merchants' money could be allowed to enter Huanyu Bank, even if it was only 1%, Huanyu Bank would have a firm foothold in the mainland of the Qing Dynasty.

"Qianzhuang?" Ma Dechang asked: "Mr. Jiang, I wonder what kind of bank it is?"

"Huanyu Bank." Jiang Chen said.

"Is it the Universal Bank that just opened in Jiangning Mansion?" Ma Dechang's eyes narrowed.

"Yes, has Master Ma heard of it?" Jiang Chen asked.

"Mr. Jiang, I heard that the hosts of Universal Bank are just women?" Ma Dechang said.

"That's my wife."

Jiang Chen smiled and said: "Huanyu Bank is one of our Jiang family's industries, but it is not the most important industry. Therefore, under normal circumstances, it is managed by several of my wives."

"Really?" Ma Dechang's eyes were dark.

"Master Ma, do you know who the big boss of Huanyu Bank is..." Jiang Chen smiled mysteriously and whispered.
