This time, Qin Yun kicked Yang Yong firmly several times to prevent him from losing his memory.
Of course, for the person involved, Yang Yong, this fully reflected the prince's love for him. In the current chaos, let alone ducks, even rats may not be able to catch a few.
Today, the roads leading from Poyang Pass to Cangzhou and to the southeast of the imperial court are often attacked by the Iron Wolf King's army.
Especially Tito, who had one of his ears knocked off by Qin Yun, led his cavalry to plunder everywhere all day long.
The imperial court urgently mobilized troops from the south of the Yangtze River to garrison Cangzhou. As for supplies at Poyang Pass, on the one hand it could only rely on the people who had been trampled by the war, and on the other hand it had to ask for help from the aristocratic families in western Sichuan.
As soon as Qin Yung arrived, someone from the Liu family in western Sichuan came to visit him, and he was also an old acquaintance, Liu Zaishi, the owner of the Liu family restaurant and one of the eight pillars of Prince Gong.
Qin Yun didn't expect that he not only escaped the war, but also escaped the purge!
In the living room, Liu Zaishi said very sadly.
"Your Highness Ninth, the common people were blind that day and failed to recognize His Highness, please accept the common people's respect!"
Qin Yun said with a smile: "The head of the Liu family is here. It's hard to reveal his identity that day. It seems that I deceived Liu Jiazhu first."
Liu Zaishi: "Your Majesty's words have made Mr. Liu very panicked. To be honest with you, I came here after receiving the news from Prince Li and asked Your Majesty to give me a way out."
Qin Yun suddenly realized: "Master Liu, what is the meaning of this statement?"
Liu Zaishi returned the 10,000 taels of introduction fee that Qin Yun had given him in full, and then took out a thick stack of banknotes. Qin Yun visually estimated that it was no less than 500,000.
"These are some of my thoughts, and I hope the prince will accept them. Our Liu family is different from other aristocratic families in western Sichuan. The Liu family took root in Luochuan City thirty years ago, so the rebel king attacked Luochuan for the sake of thousands of Liu family's descendants. I have no choice but to treat him like a snake."
"Now that Master Wang has returned, I am very happy. However, there are always some unscrupulous people in the city who say that I, the Liu family, are one and the same with the rebels. I am really unjust!"
Qin Yun squinted his eyes and watched Liu Zaishi's performance quietly.
In fact, it doesn't matter whether they are wronged or not. What is important is that the imperial court is in crisis now, and I am afraid it is unable to take care of this at all. The main reason is that although the Liu family claims to have nothing to do with the Western Sichuan family.
But this is just for outsiders to hear.
At first, he pretended to be a member of the Yun family, but Liu Zaishi's attitude didn't seem like he had anything to do with it.
In fact, the Liu family is likely to be the representative promoted by the Western Sichuan family. As for why they came to find me? Maybe it's not just the relationship between King Li and Prince Li.
Just when Qin Yun was preparing for further analysis, Yang Yong came in in a hurry.
"Your Highness, Marshal Ji Qing is having a night banquet with the West Sichuan family at the City Lord's Mansion. The Marshal has sent someone to ask Your Highness to be there!"
Qin Yun waved his hand: "Okay, I understand, you can go down first!"
Yang Yong bowed his hands and stepped back. Qin Yun looked at Liu Zaishi with a half-smile.
"Master Liu, just tell me what you need me to do for you!"
Liu Zaishi paused: "Please help the Liu family, Your Majesty! If Your Majesty can save someone Liu this time, the Liu family will do everything for Your Majesty!"
Qin Yun smiled: "That's not necessary. When the flood came, it was all mud and sand. When the flood receded, there were still a few people who were shining brightly! The Liu family has always accumulated good fortune. Even if they don't find me, it will probably be fine."
"So, if the Liu family has something to say, you might as well speak up!"
Liu Zaishi paused but asked tentatively: "Prince Li has some wine. It is said that the brewing method was passed down from the prince. Mr. Liu does not dare to overstep, so I beg the prince to let Mr. Liu sell the liquor on his behalf." .”
Qin Yun squinted his eyes. As expected, businessmen have the sharpest sense of smell.
Naturally, Qin Yun cannot put all his eggs in one basket. After all, the World Chamber of Commerce involves various forces. Even if he captures Bai Wanqing, he may not be able to completely control the World Chamber of Commerce.
Therefore, it is crucial to cultivate one's own business territory. Even though he can easily earn tens or millions of taels now, in fact, this money is only small money and unstable.
For example, to form a cavalry, a qualified war horse would cost at least one hundred taels, and the supporting armor and various training costs would add up to at least three to four hundred taels. This does not include the cavalry's food and salary...
This is a lot of money, and one million taels would be enough to drop into the cavalry team.
This is also related to the fact that the more Daxia strengthens the northern front in recent years, the poorer it becomes.
After all, Daxia cannot have natural livestock pastures and elite cavalry troops like the nomads!
In this era, the cavalry represents the truth in a sense!
At the very least, before Master Lu Ban designed and manufactured machine guns, the cavalry would be ruthless characters on this continent.
Qin Yun also wants cavalry. After all, who wouldn't want to lead a group of heavily armored warriors into the enemy camp!
But what about money? It is better to expect the three melons and two dates from the court than to dig out a golden doll from the ground.
To put it bluntly, if the old emperor cheats and refuses to give him the position of prince, then he must have money to rebel!
Now, Qiongzhou Island is slowly getting on the right track, and money is needed to expand production.
As for the Liu family, they seem to be a good partner, but with Qin Yun's character, he must investigate carefully first.
After making up his mind, Qin Yun said with a smile: "Master Liu, you can buy this wine from King Li and then sell it. The Jiuli Tribe will share the profit with me, but it will not only be sold to the Liu family, but also to the Liu family. Let’s see how you perform, Master Liu!”
Liu Zaishi was overjoyed: "Your Highness, don't worry, our Liu family has been doing business for generations. Whether we go to the desert in the west, to southern Yunnan, or to be the chieftains of the southern barbarians, our Liu family's footprints can be found everywhere in the south of the Yangtze River."
"Your Highness, please believe in my sincerity, but in addition, I also want to represent soap and another product!"
"Oh? What product?"
Liu Zaishi smiled and said: "Your Highness, the pesticides used in Yaowang Mountain were a highlight. The most feared thing about this kind of food is insect pests. If we can kill some insect pests, the food harvest will definitely be a bumper harvest!"
Qin Yun was suddenly awakened by Liu Zaishi.
The terrain of Western Sichuan in Daxia is very similar to that of Shu in the previous life. There are large plains and abundant water resources. The only pity is that there is no Dujiangyan Yuzui Ao here, and even the Luochuan City area is constantly flooded.
If we can solve the flood problem, promote pesticides, and reform rice and wheat planting technology, Luochuan Prefecture can be used as the real rear area, and it is not impossible to dominate the world!
However, this has to be done slowly.
Qin Yun smiled: "The issue of pesticides is not convenient now. I will study it carefully when I return to the capital. But now you can send people to collect various varieties of rice, both wild and domestic. Then the fields are marked according to the batch planting.”
Liu Zaishi didn't know why: "Your Highness, what is this?"
Qin Yun smiled and said: "If you agree to this condition of my king, I will give you the exclusive right to sell Li wine and pesticides!"
Liu Zaishi was not stupid, so he naturally agreed to this condition without hesitation.
"Your Highness, you can rest assured that Cao Min will complete the task strictly in accordance with His Highness's requirements."
Qin Yun continued: "One more thing, you send people to conduct a detailed survey along the major rivers in Luochuan, especially those rivers that are prone to flooding, and draw a river map."
Liu Zaishi paused: "Your Highness, do you want to improve water conservancy?"
Qin Yundao said: "That's right. If the flood in Luochuan is not eliminated, the people of Luochuan will not be able to live a peaceful life."
Liu Zaishi: "The grassroots people know a person. This person was a Jinshi in the former dynasty. Later, because he was tired of officialdom, he resigned and returned to his hometown. Over the years, he has been visiting various places in Luochuan for the purpose of controlling floods in Luochuan."
"If Your Highness can take this person under his command, he will definitely be able to accomplish something!"
Qin Yun's heart moved: "What is this person's name?"
Liu Zaishi: "This person's surname is Xu Dan, whose name is Jiang. However, he was killed by a traitor and had a lot of criticism against the court. It may be difficult for Your Highness to ask him to come out!"
Qin Yun: "If this person is really capable, why don't I bend my back and take a second look? You go and make preparations, and I will personally visit him early tomorrow morning!"
Liu Zaishi cupped his hands: "No!"
