Silver Overlord - Chapter 932

[Chapter 897]

Seven days later, at night, in the study room in the Lanzhou City Governor’s Mansion…

“I didn’t expect this kid Yan Liqiang to have some means. He resolved the run on the Zhong family’s bank just like that!” Gu, who was half lying on the soft collapsed Tong An looked at the latest issue of the “Dahan Empire Times” in his hand, and said in a nonchalant tone, “But resolve it, let’s resolve it, this time I also wanted to take the opportunity to knock on the Zhong family to make the Zhong family be honest, I really want to The Zhong family is in a hurry, and the consequences may not be easy to control, the Zhong family has a great business in the northwest, and it is not so easy to deal with…”

In front of Gu Tongan, the governor of Lanzhou, it was still the strategist who he relied on as a confidant.

“Yan Liqiang made great fanfare this time to ask the No. 1 factory in the world to deposit 10 million taels of silver into the Zhong family’s bank, and the newly opened wool trading market in Bianji, Yingwei County also allowed the Zhong family’s bank to take a stake, accounting for With 20% of the shares, everyone knows that the wool trading market will be the chicken that lays golden eggs in the future. Not only has the Zhongjia Qianzhuang invested in the market this time, but all transactions in the market are designated by cash and Zhongjia Qianzhuang. The banknotes issued, the banknotes of the banks outside the six northwestern states are now difficult to cash, and they are not easy to use. These two things are combined, and they are publicized through the “Han Empire Times”, and everyone is everywhere. You know, everyone knows that the Zhong family’s bank is rich, so the crisis of the Zhong family’s bank will naturally be resolved, and no one will run on it anymore!”

“This is 10 million taels of silver. That kid is so rich. Now in the entire Northwest, there is no one who is richer than that kid. I am afraid that all the net worth I have accumulated for so many years as an official is not as good as what one of his workshops can get. There are too many…” Gu Tongan’s tone was full of envy, jealousy and hatred.

“The No. 1 factory in the world is making a lot of money every day, as well as the big money-making business of the Manufacturing Bureau and Yunyan, all in the hands of Yan Liqiang, and now the wool of the Gulang grassland will soon be mastered by him, not to mention the northwest, in another two years , I’m afraid I won’t be able to find someone richer than him in the entire Han Empire. When he started, he attracted the jealousy of all the rich and powerful families in the northwest. Everyone followed suit. There were not many products in the northwest. The main income of the family actually depends on the rent, so the fields are very important. Now everyone knows that if you want to make money, you cannot rely on the land alone. You have to rely on factories and workshops, machines, and wool. In the past two years, there has been a trend of setting up factories and workshops. Even the countryside in Lanzhou has opened steam mills and steam sawmills one by one. Speaking of which, this trend really learned from him!”

“You said Not bad!” Gu Tongan shook the “Han Empire Times” on his hand, “Besides this, I really didn’t see that this small newspaper was so useful before, and I didn’t pay attention to it, but now I realize it. Now, this thing plays a big role at a critical moment. It is even more effective than the official announcement and the court’s newspaper. Whoever masters this can influence public opinion. As soon as this newspaper reported the good news of the Zhongjia Qianzhuang, everyone felt that There is no problem with the Zhongjia Qianzhuang. The run on the bank will disappear in an instant. It works better than anyone else. I think we have to do this in Lanzhou. We can also get a copy. In charge, it shouldn’t be difficult to find a few people, all the money spent, you can go to Steward Gu to support it…”

“Yes,

I wrote it down, this Yan Liqiang was indeed the first to open up the trend, like a newspaper with four wheels of a water fire machine. The carriages are all made by him, and each one is of great use. We can keep an eye on him in the future to see what new things he comes up with!”

“I remember when you said that, Hasn’t our craftsmanship camp already imitated the water and fire machine produced by the manufacturing bureau? I heard that it has also made a boat that can run on water. The water and fire wheels of the Manufacturing Bureau under Mao Xiaoer are now running on the river, pulling people and goods, I wonder how our craftsmen can create a water-fire machine and a water-fire wheel?”

“Cough, this… Although our craftsmanship has also imitated a water-fired machine and a water-fired wheel, but the effect is not very good. The water-fired machine has frequent failures. No matter how far you run on the water, you get down on the ground…”

“They’re all ordinary rice buckets, they just ask me for money and ask them to make something, they’re not as good as others!” Gu Tongan suddenly became angry, “They can’t compare to Yan Li. It doesn’t matter, after all, Yan Liqiang is a master craftsman, and there are not many people in the Han Empire who can match him, but can’t those rice buckets even be comparable to the craftsmen in the manufacturing bureau under Yan Liqiang? They are people from Pingxi Craftsmanship Camp. They have a fart ability. They are all craftsmen from Yizhou Craftsmanship Camp

. Sir, please calm down. This craftsmanship cannot be improved in a single day. Besides, the craftsmen in the manufacturing bureau have been taught by Yan Li, and their abilities may have already exceeded the level of the county-level artisan battalion. , and I heard that all the rules in the manufacturing bureau are different from those outside, and even the tools used are different from those outside, and now the manufacturing bureau has also absorbed a large number of top craftsmen from the northwest Gyeonggi region who have fled, and their strength has long been The present is not what it used to be, the adults asked the craftsmen of our craftsmanship camp to make the same things as the craftsmen of the manufacturing bureau for a while, I am afraid that it will be unrealistic in a short time…”

Hearing that his confidants are those craftsmen After speaking, Gu Tongan’s anger subsided a little, but he was still very angry, “Then give them a little more time, just a year, if they can’t reach the level of the Manufacturing Bureau after a year, everyone in the Lanzhou Craftsmanship Camp will wait. I don’t believe that they can’t even imitate such simple things, so what are they raising them for…”

The counselor named Yun Wu gave Gu Tongan a helpless look, and couldn’t say anything more, “This is The things in the craftsmanship camp can be put aside for a while. I see this time Qiyun County published in the “Han Empire Times” the establishment of Gulang Province and Heijie Province, as well as the recruitment methods of Wenju and Wuju. , is really worthy of the attention of adults, that Yan Liqiang has a lot of ambition, if you want to deal with him, you have to make plans early…”

“Let him toss it, I have a solution here, once and for all…” Gu Tongan’s voice suddenly became cold, a dangerous light flashed in his eyes, and a sneer appeared on his face, “I don’t believe it. I can’t find anyone else to do it…”

“Sir, this is absolutely impossible!” Yun Pu’s voice was lowered, and he quickly discouraged, “I opposed it when my lord sent someone to contact You Ming, and now I still don’t. I agree. Your lord and Yan Liqiang are both important ministers in the northwest. The dispute between the two of you is a political dispute. Then the Jinzhou court appointed Yan Liqiang as the king of the northwest. Your lord can disagree with the result or use your own methods, but if your lord uses such methods If you go to deal with Yan Liqiang, then the nature of this matter will change. Once this matter is exposed, the consequences will be unimaginable. Now, apart from the White Lotus Sect, the others…”

“You don’t need to ask about this matter, I will handle it naturally!” Gu Tongan Leng He interrupted his confidant’s words coldly, with a pointing expression on his face, “You are fine with everything, but sometimes you are not ruthless and decisive, if you can save the Northwest by killing one person, why not do it, I think The timing is right at this time. If Yan Liqiang is assassinated, the White Lotus Sect or the Shatu people will naturally be the biggest suspects. Who will suspect me, and if something happens to the yellow-haired child, the current Pingxi Palace will definitely fall apart. We can just fish in troubled waters, what’s wrong, why do we have to play with him all day like now, and care about what he does all day…”

“Sir…”

“Okay, UU reading www.sonicmtl.com I’m a little tired, I want to rest, you should step down, Yun Yu…” Gu Tongan waved his hand impatiently.

“Sir, let’s rest early…” Yun Yu looked at Gu Tongan, sighed, and could only step back and leave the study!

Seeing Gu Tongan leaving, Gu Tongan shook his head, leisurely picked up the teacup in front of him, blew lightly, took a sip of tea, and then said to himself, “Pedant, this big man In the officialdom of the empire, how can you think so cleanly, without a knife in your hand, how to be a prefect, this is what Your Majesty told me back then…”

“You are right!” An abrupt voice was so flat and indifferent. Gu Tongan’s ears rang.

Just for a moment, Gu Tongan’s hair stood up, and he instinctively wanted to scream, but just as he opened his mouth, a hand stretched out suddenly, pinched his throat and neck, and at the same time. The other hand stretched out quickly, and the thing in that hand, a round golden shimmer that was slightly smaller than a pigeon egg, had runes flowing on it, like a medicinal pill, and poured it directly into him. In his mouth, it slipped into his stomach at once…
