"Your Majesty, the army has been prepared and is just waiting for your order." Zhao Niu shouted loudly, his face filled with impatience.
"Set off!"
Yang Shu got on his horse.
The team immediately started moving, the flags fluttered in the wind, and everyone saw high fighting spirit.
"Sir, here we come!"
He Wule stopped his horse and hurried to the front of Jiangshanchuan.
Jiang Shanchuan finished the pimple soup, wiped his mouth, and stood up.
"It's really fast."
"That's fine. It saves me from being worried."
Jiang Shanchuan opened the curtain and got into the carriage.
…
…
"Your Majesty, in another thirty miles, we will reach Fenghe Mansion." Fang Zhuang said.
Yang Shu looked far away and slowed down his horse.
"Go ten miles further and rest on the spot." Yang Shu tilted his head slightly and asked Fang Zhuang to convey the order.
"Your Majesty, someone is blocking the road." Zhao Niu's soldiers came on horseback and raised their voices.
"The other party revealed his identity and said he was the governor of Gongzhou."
Yang Shu raised his eyebrows, "How many people?"
"Not many. Apparently there are only twenty-three of them. No ambush was found a hundred meters away."
Yang Shu pinched the horse's belly and walked forward, with Fang Zhuang following closely beside him.
When he reached the front of the team, Yang Shu's eyes fell on a man in regular clothes. Judging from his appearance, he was probably over forty.
"Gongzhou Prefect Jiang Shanchuan?" Yang Shu raised his voice.
"Your Majesty." Jiang Shanchuan saluted.
"With such a small number of people, I can't stop my prince. What does Jiang Taishou want?" Yang Shu rode on his horse and looked down at Jiang Shanchuan with scrutiny in his eyes.
Feeling the coercion coming from Yang Shu, Jiang Shanchuan lowered his eyes. This reputation as a playboy was indeed staged.
"What does the prince want?" Jiang Shanchuan's voice was clear and clear.
"Huining County is too small, Gongzhou is very good, and I want to be a king."
"This time we are going to attack Fenghe Mansion." Yang Shu made the plan clear.
"After taking Fenghe Mansion, will the Crown Prince treat the people kindly and strictly order the soldiers to loot the city?" Jiang Shanchuan raised his head and looked directly at Yang Shu, his eyes sharp and unyielding at all.
"This is natural." Yang Shu leaned forward slightly, "Prefect Jiang, it's your turn."
"Why did you stop me? Are you afraid that I won't be able to attack and I have a hostage in hand who can threaten the defenders?" Yang Shu raised his eyebrows, half-smiling.
Jiang Shanchuan looked serious, "Since the prince has agreed, I am willing to open the city gate and welcome the prince into the city."
Yang Shu smiled, this was what happened for a long time.
"Prefect Jiang, Gao Yi." Yang Shu's eyes showed meaning, and he was willing to give Jiang Shanchuan a good name.
Zhao Niu was dumbfounded, would he win it now?
"What are you doing standing there in a daze? Lead five thousand people and follow Governor Jiang." Yang Shu said to Zhao Niu.
Zhao Niu pulled the reins and asked his bodyguard to pass the order. His sword was sharpened in vain.
In just one day, Gongzhou fell into Yang Shu's hands.
Yang Shu was not surprised by this result. The garrison of Gongzhou was only a few thousand. Jiang Shanchuan had to go crazy to defend for the emperor.
The original garrison of Gongzhou was changed, and Yang Shu led 10,000 people back to Huining County.
"Your Majesty."
Xu Jingzhou and He Xiangshu greeted Yang Shu.
"The meeting hall has been decorated." Xu Jingzhou said.
Yang Shu nodded, "If you make a flag, there will be no heir apparent in the future. I, Yang Shu, will rebel!"
"Change Gongzhou to Qinzhou."
"The territory is still too small, so let's call ourselves king first."
“Spread the word and let people know.”
"There are too many things to explain at the moment. Let's discuss them together in the evening."
After finishing speaking, Yang Shu walked to the meeting hall, took a look around, and nodded with satisfaction.
Although it is not as big as the palace where the emperor had his early dynasty, it can still accommodate a hundred people.
In the initial stage of your career, you cannot be extravagant right from the start.
"Your Majesty..." Xu Jingzhou changed his title.
"What's the matter?" Yang Shu looked sideways at him.
"There's not much money in the treasury."
"You can't make me happy for a while." Yang Shu rubbed his head, "I'll send a team to Xishan and ask them to dig up silver mines."
Seeing that Xu Jingzhou was about to open his mouth, Yang Shu stopped him, "If it's not urgent, just save it for tonight."
My mood is already bad. If I continue to listen to it, I will probably have a heart attack.
He is also preparing to recruit troops.
After roughly explaining the matter, Yang Shu went to see Zheng Bin.
Zheng Bin was still dressed in men's clothing, and she was a little surprised to see Yang Shu.
He had just taken Gongzhou and he shouldn't have a lot to deal with, so why did he come to her?
With his eyes wandering, Zheng Bin picked up the cake and stuffed it into Yang Shu's mouth, "I have no money!"
Yang Shu's eyes twitched and his face darkened, "You have no money? You have no money!"
"The Zheng family has become the richest man in the Yan Kingdom. They make a lot of money every day, and you actually told me that you have no money!"
"Zheng Bin, believe me or not..."
"How much do you want to borrow?" Zheng Bin glanced at Yang Shu and interrupted him.
Yang Shu stretched out a finger.
Zheng Bin opened his money bag and gave Yang Shu a hundred taels of money.
"One hundred taels?" Yang Shu opened his eyes, "You're sending beggars away!"
"I said one million taels!"
"One million taels?" Zheng Bin's eyes flashed, "The first time I spoke, it was one million taels. What about the rest? How much is it? Why don't you just grab it!"
"It's not impossible." Yang Shu touched his chin, feeling very moved.
"Don't just worry about the immediate gains and losses. I'm so prosperous, can I still lose to you?" Yang Shu winked at Zheng Bin.
Zheng Bin's face was expressionless. It was not him who took the money, so of course he didn't care!
This time it was one million taels, next time it would be ten million taels. No matter how rich the Zheng family was, they could not afford to spend it like this.
"Young master?"
Yang Shu poked Zheng Bin and said, "Squeak."
Zheng Bin took the note and said, "Write it."
Yang Shu came over in person, and Zheng Bin had to give it even if he didn't want to.
"Your Majesty..."
"I forgot to tell you, Gongzhou has been changed to Qinzhou, and I have become the king. From now on, if you have anything to eat from me, you will never die of hunger."
Yang Shu looked at Zheng Bin and said with deep affection.
Zheng Bin still had a straight face, "I said I would help the king achieve great things, but the Zheng family is not the king's private treasury. The debts must be repaid, so don't default on them!"
"What do you mean?" Yang Shu wrote.
"Every time the IOU written by the king is paid, there must be a larger amount."
"In recent months, I have only borrowed money but not paid it back. I haven't even seen a single tael of silver."
"I know people who borrow money, and if they behave like this, they will most likely run away."
Yang Shu choked and raised his neck, "You actually question my character. If it's not just one million taels, I will definitely return it!"
Zheng Bin looked outside. If Gongzhou were to develop like Huining County, one million taels would not be able to sustain it for long. The money would flow out like running water every day.
Zheng Bin couldn't even imagine the expense of taking over the entire Yan Kingdom.
Yang Shu has great ambitions, which means he has to recruit troops.
One million taels was definitely just the beginning. In the next ten years, Yang Shu would not be able to get the money back even if he wanted to.
After it was done, he decided to ask her to fill the treasury for him.
On board the pirate ship!
"You look very unhappy." Yang Shu looked concerned.
Zheng Bin pursed his lips and said, "If the king were me, would you be happy?"
"I must be able to do it. In the future, when I ascend to the highest position, you will be the number one merchant in the dynasty. Who would dare to look down on you?"
Yang Shu opened his mouth and drew a big, round cake.
