"In the past, I often heard people say that the people were hungry and hungry, but the wealthy families still spent time and wine. Ordinary people could not take off their pots. However, the rope used to string money in the cellars of the aristocratic families rotted because they were left for too long. This is by no means the right way."

Chen Zhi's words made Tong Hai feel terrified, thinking that this mansion was planning to plunder the property hidden in the cellars of those aristocratic families.

After hesitating for a moment, Tong Hai carefully reminded: "After all, the Youzhou clan has been passed down for many years, and their relationships are entangled, like an old tree planted in the roots. I heard that they have contact with the top families in the heart of the Central Plains. Most of the clans have served in the court. If the lord is too forced too much, I'm afraid..." He dared not say it too clearly afterwards, otherwise it would be a bit reprimanded.

Chen Zhi was stunned when he heard this, and then he understood, shook his head and said, "You are misunderstanding. I didn't want to plunder the money of these aristocratic families. That would be too domineering. I did it in Dai County before, the Zheng family and the Liu family acted too much. Not only did I take my life, but I also colluded with outsiders. With such a handle, I overturned the two families. There was nothing to say about the other families, but I could do it like this. It was also that Dai County was small and relatively barren. The real big family either disappeared or moved its foundation south. The original Wei family was barely counted, but now it has been ruined. Therefore, there was not much rebound, but Youzhou was different. If you want the aristocratic families to surrender, the comprehensive strength needed is too strong and it is not cost-effective at all."

"It's because my subordinates are worried too much." Tong Hai felt relieved when he heard this. Just as Chen Zhi said, he was worried because of the two examples of the Zheng family and the Liu family in Daijun. Since Chen Zhi had no such plan, he just thought too much.

But Chen Zhi suddenly talked about the luxury of aristocratic families and the miserable public health. Is it just a simple feeling that it doesn’t look like it no matter how you look at it?

Tong Hai thinks that he is better at understanding his lord, and he is definitely not a person who feels nothing. What he says must have a reason.

Sure enough, Chen Zhi followed and said, "That means that instead of putting the money in the cellar of aristocratic families, it is better to let them be extravagant. Whether it is to buy Daijun paper, Daikang porcelain, or even just simply spend the whole life and wine, it means that these copper plates and silver are useful, especially Daijun paper and Daikang porcelain, which are produced in Daijun. In addition to a few families, there are many ordinary helpers in the workshops that can make profits from it..."

Hearing this, Tong Hai suddenly remembered that not long ago, Chen Zhi mentioned that to build a new batch of workshops in Dai County, the scope of the area involved is no longer simply papermaking, porcelain, and also textiles, picking and other industries. I believe that according to previous experience, these things will become fine products, be praised by Luoyang, and then become the focus of the pursuit of the Youzhou family.

"So that's the case. With such means, as long as our production becomes more and more abundant, the Youzhou family can be sought after and purchased, so that they can take out all the money..." As he said that, Tong Hai couldn't continue, because he realized that in this way, most of the money would probably fall into the hands of the mansion in front of him through the luxury purchase of the aristocratic family.

After all, whether it is Daijun paper or Dai kiln ceramics, the real master behind the scenes is Chen Zhi. Even if the cost of the use was not disclosed, Tong Hai, as the backbone of the Secret Spies Department, still knows a little bit about it. Knowing that the cost of paper and porcelain is getting lower and lower, the profits are rising rapidly. Cooperating with Daijun's mines, iron houses, etc., it can be said that it is making money every day. It is conceivable how much money it will accumulate in the future.

"Next, I will draw some people from the secret spy department to make a statistics on the flow of money in Youzhou," Looking at Tong Hai with an uncertain expression, Chen Zhi suddenly made a proposal, "The fashion among aristocratic families, and what kind of items each family tends to buy, you need to understand. You can pay attention to this aspect first. In the future, you may be in charge of this matter."

This immediately made Tong Hai put aside all kinds of thoughts and felt joy in his heart. He knew that Chen Zhi was deliberately cultivating himself, but then he felt another move in his heart and felt worried.

He noticed what Chen Zhi said in his words, saying that he wanted to draw some people from the secret spy department, so was it just a temporary transfer, or was it going to draw personnel and set up another yamen?

If it is the former, it would be okay, but if it is the latter, Tong Hai, as a student brought out by Su Liao, has divided the power of the spy department and formed his own system. The human relationship issues involved are a bit complicated, making people hesitate.

As his thoughts rolled, Tong Hai was wondering if he was asking a few questions, but considering that Chen Zhi did not say anything to death, this matter was just an idea, so he didn't want to be too reckless, so he was hesitant.

At this time, a messenger suddenly came over and interrupted Tong Hai's thoughts. But he was very tactful and took his leave.

Chen Zhi did not stop him. After waiting for the person to leave, he turned to ask about the purpose of the messenger's visit.

"The city of Tunzhen is peaceful and there is no movement. Wei Xiong is quite familiar with military intelligence. He sent spies to him or her, or it is difficult to convey the news."

Hearing this reward, Chen Zhi nodded and ordered the army to patrol, pay attention to the movements around him and prevent the enemy from attacking the barracks at night.

……………………

At the same time, among the low walls of Tun Town, there was a crowd of people in the city, but they were eager to try.

"Hao Shuai! We have already made the assembly, so we will wait for your order!"

A strong man stood in front of Wei Xiong and reported to him about the gathering, with a warlike look on his face.

Wei Xiong nodded, then took a step forward, walked with a meteor, and soon came to a high platform, then raised a torch.

The fire rose, and he was like a bright star in an instant, attracting everyone's gaze.

"My sons! The enemy is coming and besieged this city. We are struggling to break through the siege. Although we have prisoners in our hands, it is difficult to shake the heart of Chen. If the city is broken, they will be gained by the person, and the fate will be worrying. Most of the prisoners who fall into the hands of Chen will be demoted to slaves, filled in the mines, and worked hard until death. Are you willing?"

"I don't want to!"

"How can this be done!"

"Never be a slave!"

There were uneven screams, and about two thousand people gathered here, all of whom were brave in the army. Although this shout was not neat, it also seemed quite imposing. If Chen Zhi had not camped in the distance, he would have probably heard it with the wind.

Seeing that morale was available, Wei Xiong waved the torch in his hand, and asked everyone to focus their attention again to stop everyone from seeking war. Wei Xiong then said: "If the attack is successful, it will seriously damage the enemy, and may rob the important people. They can also retreat and leave Guangning voluntarily. If not, they will retreat to the city and wait for the order of Shanyu. Then Chen will not want to break up with our troops, and we will be undefeated!"

These words instantly mobilized the morale of the army, and they all asked for battle!

Wei Xiong knew that he could not delay, otherwise Chen Zhi would get the news, and the situation would become passive, so he waved his torch and shouted!
Chapter completed!
