People in the early Tang Dynasty: I compete with Wu Zhao for the throne

Chapter 300 Huitong Cabinet Workshop, the Sixteenth Family
Suzhou, Huitong Cabinet.

The surprise in Li Xuan's eyes was quickly replaced by gloom.

In the memories of An Rongxiang and Wen Bingyan, the Qianmo that Tianyin Sect got from no one knew where was also stored in Suzhou by them.

Huitong Cabinet in Suzhou.

"Captain!" Li Xuan stared at Liu Ji, and asked earnestly, "You store this money in the Huitong Cabinet in Suzhou. Is it your choice, or was someone induced?"

"Of course it's your choice." Liu Ji raised his eyebrows slightly, looked at Li Xuan, and said seriously: "My lord may have just come to Wuyue not long ago, so I don't know. This Huitong cabinet shop was originally made by Suzhou merchants imitating the methods of Shanxi merchants. The sixteen aristocratic families of Wu and Yue all stored a large amount of gold and silver in the Huitong cabinet, so the big and small families, business names, and even merchants in the North that were associated with them all stored in it. However, just like Just as Wuyue did not allow Jin merchants to enter, it is also difficult for Wuyue cabinets to enter Shandong and Shanxi, let alone Kansai."

Li Xuan nodded, local protectionism prevails everywhere.

"This sixteenth family of Wuyue, I'm afraid they all hold members of Huitong Cabinet?" Li Xuan said suddenly, and Liu Ji immediately replied: "That's true, in fact, not only the sixteenth family of Wuyue, but also King Yue and King Cao, but they It's all in name, and the one who really controls these things is actually in the palace."

"So that's how it is." Li Xuan suddenly understood why Qian Mo was stored in the Huitong Cabinet in Suzhou instead of other places.

Wuyue's sixteen families all participated in the evil money affairs to varying degrees, but this was allowed by the palace, but everything must be carried out under supervision.

This place is Suzhou, which is Huitong Cabinet Workshop.

"King Cao!" Li Xuan sighed inwardly.

This time because when he arrived in the southeast, Li Ming, the governor of Suzhou, Cao Wang, was still in Luoyang, the capital of God, so Li Xuan did not visit Suzhou.

On the other hand, he was also worried that someone would attack him in Suzhou, so he simply went straight from Changzhou to Hangzhou without stopping in other places.

Now that the background of Huitong Cabinet is exposed in front of Li Xuan, the origin of Qian Mo can be explained clearly
……

"Then besides you, do other members of the Tianyin Sect also have deposits in the Huitong Cabinet?" At this point, Li Xuan showed a hint of a smile: "What I mean is, Is it personal money like yours?"

"There must be, but these are the deepest secrets of everyone, and they are not easily told to others, and I have no way of knowing." Liu Ji showed a wry smile on his face.

Only he and his son Liu Ji knew about this last life-saving retreat in the entire Liu family, and no third person in the entire Tianyin Sect would know about it.

Of course, someone might guess something, just like Liu Ji guessed that others would do the same.

It's just that I guessed it, and it's not that easy to withdraw the money inside.

"Tell me about the procedure for withdrawing money?" Li Xuan sat down on the chair in the study, looking at Liu Ji calmly.

Standing on the side, Liu Ji cupped his hands to Li Xuan and said, "There are two kinds of deposits: open deposit and secret deposit. If it is open deposit, the handling fee is slightly lower, but the procedure is complicated. Some not only need tokens, Handwriting, passwords, and some people even ask in advance to withdraw the money in person. If they leave a portrait in advance, if they are secretly stored, the handling fee will be higher, but the procedures should be simplified and no need for the person himself Come to pick it up, even if it is agreed in advance, no password and handwriting are needed, just a token is enough."

Li Xuan nodded knowingly, the method of secret storage should be more secretive, and the counter shop seems to simplify the procedures, but the risk it bears is greater.

These things are equivalent to the bearer deposits of later generations.

As for what this thing can be used for, it is all well-known.

"Should you have a secret deposit here?" Li Xuan looked sideways at Liu Ji, and said in a low voice: "There is no such thing as someone going to withdraw the money and not being able to withdraw it, or in other words, just as soon as the money is withdrawn, someone will stare at you." .”

Liu Ji slightly hesitated, but still said sincerely: "The villain really wants this possibility, but the prince knows in his heart that this kind of thing can only be done by himself."

"Approximately how much?" Li Xuan asked very directly.

"Not a lot, [-] guan in cash, and two mansions in Xuzhou and a hundred acres of land." Liu Ji cupped his hands to Li Xuan, and said in a deep voice: "I know that the prince doesn't like these things, but this is already a small All the private wealth that a person can come up with."

"Xuzhou, the captain really chose a good place!" Li Xuan took a deep look at Liu Ji, then waved his hand and said, "Put the things in the captain's hands first, if your son can survive this time It won’t be too late for the captain to hand it over to the king, and if your son has any misfortune, maybe the captain can still fight for the crime and make meritorious service, and if he goes to Xuzhou in the future, it may not be impossible to continue the incense.”

Li Xuan stood up, patted Liu Ji's shoulder vigorously, and then walked out the door.

Outside the study, Qianniuwei and Nanchangfuwei Linsan were standing. Li Xuan looked up to the direction of the stone castle, where the sounds of fighting and fighting had gradually stopped.

Raising her head, Li Xuan looked at the sun, and it was almost dusk, and before she knew it, a day had passed.

"My lord!" Liu Ji's voice sounded behind Li Xuan, Li Xuan turned around, looked at Liu Ji and asked, "The captain has thought clearly!"

"I don't know!" Liu Ji's expression was a little sad, and he said to Li Xuan, "Please give me more time to think about it in the next few days."

What to consider, of course, is to consider whether to completely turn against the Tianyin Sect.

"Okay, I don't mind." Li Xuan said lightly: "After a few days, the captain will understand even more how desperate the Tianyin Sect's uprising this time is."

People like Liu Ji were not optimistic about the success of the Tianyin Sect's uprising from the very beginning, otherwise he would not have prepared to retreat in advance.

The reason why he has persisted is because there is no other good way.

After all, more avenues have been taken by all parties, so there are no opportunities left for him.

Now Li Xuan gave him another way, but Li Xuan just mentioned it casually and didn't give any clear guarantee, and Liu Ji also didn't agree at all.

Because no matter what choice Liu Ji made in the end, Liu Ji must die.

……

Five trebuchets were parked at the entrance of the stone courtyard, and two huge well rails were placed high on the edge of the stone courtyard. Thick smoke kept coming out of the stone houses in the depths of the stone courtyard, but no one rushed out. .

"Have the underground tunnels outside been blocked?" Li Xuan looked sideways at Qiu Zhenmu.

Qiu Zhenmu nodded immediately, and said: "It's all blocked, and the humble official has even sent people to fill it with water. They have no way to escape, so they are forced to come back here and stick to it."

"It seems that you have learned all of my little tricks." Li Xuan looked at Qiu Zhenmu and Zhou Shen with some amusement.

These two people had only been with him for a month or two, but they were deeply influenced by him, and they deeply remembered the essence of various asymmetrical strikes in their hearts.

"I still lack a lot, and I hope the prince will give me more advice." Qiu Zhenmu and Zhou Shen bowed their hands to Li Xuan at the same time, with sincere expressions.

Li Xuan waved her hands lightly, and said with a smile: "It's okay, as long as you follow me for a day, you can learn all the book passages I know."

"Thank you, my lord!" Qiu Zhenmu and Zhou Shen cupped their hands at Li Xuan at the same time.

Although their command and combat capabilities in the army are far superior to Li Xuan's, they are not as good as Li Xuan in some special environment battles.

Of course, Li Xuan also has his own shortcomings. Let him prepare in advance and make targeted arrangements. Naturally, there will be no disadvantages, but for the sudden encounter, he has no certainty of victory. At this time, he can only rely on Qiu Zhenmu And Zhou Shen.

……

"My lord, why don't you try to recruit the believers inside, maybe some of them are willing to surrender?" Liu Ji said suddenly at this moment.

Li Xuan shook her head and said: "No need, I tried it in Dongyang City before, even if there were parents, even if the family members turned against each other, and finally surrendered, but only one or two people, I have never done this How delusional, what's more, some of them may not be willing to see others come out."

"My lord really has a thorough understanding of Tianyin Sect, I admire you." Liu Ji looked at Li Xuan and cupped his hands emotionally.

The Tianyin Sect has very strict control over the belief in the Tianyin Goddess internally. The closer to the core of the religion, the more devout the belief in the Tianyin Goddess.

Whether it is the Tianyin elite in Dongyang City, or these people in the stone courtyard now, they are all like this.

And the bigger the crowd, the less likely they are to want to defect.

After a long time, the smoke in the stone house gradually dissipated. With a wave of Li Xuan's hand, a large group of Qianniuwei jumped in from the wall.

Soon, some of them re-emerged and bowed their hands to Li Xuan: "Report to the lord, everyone inside is dead."

Li Xuan nodded, and turned over the wall without the slightest hesitation.

At this time, a pile of corpses were already lying on the ground in the stone courtyard.

Most of these people committed suicide, but there were also a small number of people who directly wiped their throats with a knife.

"It's still the old way, whether there is a secret way or not, first flood it with water, if there is one, then use poisonous smoke..." Li Xuan waved his hand and said: "It's an old job, you are more familiar with it than this king... Yes Alright, let's share the copper coins in the Shizhuang with the brothers themselves, but things like bills of exchange and land deeds have to be handed over to the cashier. Gu Xiancheng and Wang Cishi rewarded the brothers with some land, as for how to deal with the land, it is everyone's own business."

"Thank you, my lord." The expressions of many Qianniuwei present were shocked at the same time.

They followed Li Xuan all the way from Luoyang to Wuzhou in order to make meritorious service and get rich.

When they were in Yangzhou and Hangzhou, Li Xuan couldn't hold too many rewards, so he could only lead them to make meritorious deeds.

Now that they are in Wuzhou, it is natural to try to take care of them as far as the law allows.

After saying this, Li Xuan turned around sharply, and looked at Liu Ji: "Captain, do you think that when the news of this place reaches Zhoucheng, Fang Yunxiu, the master of Wuzhou Hall, will come over directly, after all, he is now Dongyang, and the stronghold of Shangxi Gold Mine."

Liu Ji was startled, and a look of horror appeared on his face.

Is Li Xuan going to start plotting against others again?
