Wu Yue was rich, Ye Hua knew about this, but he was quite surprised with so much money. Where did the money come from? It couldn’t have fallen from the sky, right?

It’s true that Zhao Er put in a hard work. He told his master that Wu Yue’s silver came from Lingnan. It is said that silver has been widely used in transactions in Lingnan. Not only large-scale transactions between merchants, but also in daily transactions.

Ye Hua was shocked. Isn’t it a common use of silver after the Ming Dynasty? Why is it now? It seems that Lingnan does not produce silver, so where did it get it?

Ye Hua used his brains. Since the Sui and Tang Dynasties, many bearded men have traveled across the ocean to do business in the Central Plains. They have rich gold and silver reserves, and they cannot carry heavy copper when sailing in the ocean.

Hundreds of thousands of bearded merchants gathered in Lingnan to purchase supplies and trade, so they naturally brought gold and silver over.

Therefore, since the Tang and Song dynasties, Lingnan gradually used silver for trade.

Of course, decades ago, Huang Chao killed them all, but the people were gone, but the money was left behind... The Lingnan area is now under the control of the Southern Han Dynasty and is also a small separatist court.

The common interest between the Southern Han and Wu and Yue was to fight against the pressure of the Southern Tang Dynasty. They traded frequently, and the silk grains of Wu and Yue were sold well in Lingnan.

Over the past few decades, Wu Yue's treasury has accumulated a considerable amount of silver, and it is no surprise at all!

"Master, let's do it!" Zhao Er's eyes turned red. When this kid was in Youzhou, he killed and robbed him and did everything he wanted. Obviously, he had no burden to steal Wu Yue's money.

Ye Hua thought for a while, "The problem now is not robbery."

"What is that?"

"Can you get it?" After Ye Hua said that, he took a big step and went straight to Ren Tianxing. He had to find professional matters to solve.

After listening to it, Ren Tianxing told Ye Hua very seriously that no, absolutely no!

According to normal principles, Wu Yue gave Nan Tang New Year's tribute and just took the land route. Why did you risk going to the Yangtze River? Although shipping is convenient, Ren Tianxing occupied the estuary of the Yangtze River. Can passing ships escape his eyes?

Pretending to be full of money, wouldn’t you wait for this big thief to rob it? It’s okay if Wu Yue is stupid, but Nan Tang will be so stupid?

"So I think this is a trap, a trap that lured me to send troops. I guess the two countries want to join forces and kill me!" Ren Tianxing said: "The Ren surname has not promised to be a minister of the Great Zhou Dynasty. It is true that I am greedy for money, but I am not so stupid as to fall into the trap."

This guy is really a bachelor, he keeps shaking his head and refuses to agree.

Ye Hua pondered for a moment, "Ren, the ship owner, I believe you know that I am a great Zhou to conquer Youzhou, and I look down on you. We have a powerful weapon in our hands!"

Ren Tianxing jumped up in shock, his voice trembled, "Mr. Marquis means giving you treasures to attack the city, give me!"

"That's right, the bed crossbow, with gunpowder, can even be blown away by the city wall, let alone wooden ships. As long as you are willing to help, I will give you thirty bed crossbows!"

"Give it?" Ren Tianxing's eyes rolled and said with a silly smile: "It's better to buy it! But I want to see the goods, but I don't want it if it's not good!"

That afternoon, Ye Hua asked someone to take Ren Tianxing to the shooting range. When he came back, the One Piece completely bowed his head. He was really convinced and even had a little bit of gratitude.

Fortunately, I am smart and come over to Ye Hua, otherwise I would kill them with the magic weapon in Ye Hua's hand, just like playing. I first use a compass to find you, and then use the crossbow to bombard you with the bed, and no one can escape!

But at this moment, Ren Tianxing laughed because the unlucky people turned into Wu Yue and Nan Tang! You want to deal with me, I will let you kick me to the ironclad!

Ren Tianxing quickly sent someone to send a letter to his subordinates, transferred the strongest warship, and placed the bed crossbow on the boat for testing. Three days passed, and all thirty bed crossbows were installed. Ren Tianxing stood at the bow of the ship and laughed loudly. He was so proud that he was completely in his hand, and I looked like I had in the world.

"Don't worry, the villain will definitely bring the money back to the marquis when he goes, even if I buy the money for these bed crossbows."

After saying that, Ren Tianxing and his men left Haizhou, bypassed the coast controlled by Nan Tang, and went directly to Jinghai, north of the Yangtze River Estuary.

After seeing Ren Tianxing off, Ye Hua estimated that he could not deal with the two countries by relying on a group of pirates, so the Great Zhou had to take action.

There is no need to fight. Just mobilize 10,000 people, head south from Yancheng, and head straight to Xinghua and Taizhou. With this team here, the Southern Tang Dynasty dare not act rashly.

It just so happened to be connected with Jinghai's pirates and echoed each other from afar.

Ye Hua is quite confident. Don’t bother with Li Hongji and let him confront Da Zhou head-on, and he doesn’t have the courage to do so.

So everything is under control, and it feels really good.

Ye Hua called Li Yu, and when he was comfortable, the literati became useful. Ye Hua perfunctorily found two bamboo boards and used them as musical instruments for Li Yu, so that he could sing on the qualities.

Li Yu knew some of the evil things about Ye Hua, so he liked torture and let others do things that go against his conscience. For example, Li Xianggong was forced to cast counterfeit coins, and he was the same. He was made to be neither human nor ghost, and he became an embroidered messenger, but he also had to act as a singing actor. It was so bullying!

However, Li Yu also knew that confrontation with Ye Hua was useless. The more you compete, the more you even tried to force each other to death. Ye Hua could always find more ways to make you submit.

Let’s take Li Gu as an example, and just step by step, he was taken to the ditch by Ye Hua.

So it's better to swallow your anger. Of course, Li Yu also had his own plans. He sang two passages for Ye Hua and asked casually: "Marty, everyone in the world likes money, but I think gold is silly, silver is silly, copper is fishy, ​​and can't be eaten or drunk. What's the use?"

Ye Hua smiled and said, "Li Yu, why are you power?"

"This...I don't know!"

"Power is to force you to do things you don't like, such as singing a song for me, and you don't have to pay."

Li Yu frowned and thought, following Ye Hua's words, "If you pay, that's a deal that you want to do?"

"That's right!"

Ye Hua said: "Power is to force you to do things, and money is to make you willing to do things... In short, it is all about doing things, so money is also a kind of power... Just like profit is the interest of goods, interest is the profit of money, money is power, and power is also money. The inheritance of money is also the transmission of power from one generation to the next, which is the root cause of unfairness..."

Ye Hua held his mouth in time and did not continue to talk, but that was enough to make Li Yu feel overturned!

Those words are worth the two paragraphs just now, uh no, it’s ten paragraphs!

What does listening to your words mean? It is better to read for ten years. Li Yu hurriedly picked up the bamboo board, cleared his throat, and prepared to continue singing.

At this moment, someone came with a spring breeze on his face.

"Marty, the official is here to see you." The person who spoke was Lu Duosun, the commander of the Sansi. This guy was not in the capital, so he ran to Chuzhou to join in the fun?

"Marty, this is the case. I heard you are going to attack Wu Yue's Treasury Silver?"

Ye Hua sat up with his arms, pondered and said, "Mr. Lu, just manage your finances for the court. Why do you care about these things?"

Lu Duosun smiled and said, "Mr. Marquis, this is the case. This autumn harvest will definitely be a good harvest. In order to prevent low grain from hurting farmers, I gave His Majesty a letter to him, asking Changping Warehouse to purchase the people's grain. First, to maintain the stability of grain prices, and second, to enrich the national treasury. What does the Marquis think?"

Ye Hua said: "Of course this is a good thing, just do it."

Lu Duoxun showed a hint of embarrassment, "Marty, you also know that the national treasury is not abundant and there is even less cash. There is a slight shortage of money in our Great Zhou, especially Kaifeng. The Buddha statues have been molten copper coins, but they are still not enough. I just became the Sansi Envoy. If I don’t take charge of the family, I don’t know that the firewood and rice are expensive. One word: It’s really difficult!"

He was nagging and kept talking. Ye Hua suddenly leaned over and stared at Lu Duosun, "I'm talking about Mr. Lu, just say it, are you eyeing this money?"

"That's right!" Lu Duoxun's face turned slightly red, "I don't hide it from the Marquis. I plan to use this silver as a reserve to issue some silver to survive the difficulties of autumn and winter. The Marquis and the Minister have always known the Marquis's mind and demeanor. I also want to ask the Marquis for this matter!"

"etc!"

Ye Hua stopped Lu Duosun, "When will I promise you?"

"Marty, is this a good thing that benefits the country and the people?" Lu Duosun shouted strangely.

"That's a matter that benefits the country and the people. I'm managing the Southeast and developing the navy is just a harm to the people?" Ye Hua's voice raised his octave and asked: "The main force in this robbery is Ren Tianxing. Is it reasonable to not give it to them after getting the money? How do you ask me to surrender and win people's hearts?"

After being questioned continuously by Ye Hua, Lu Duosun suddenly grinned, "Marty, I have already thought about it." He said, and asked someone to bring a box. After opening it, it was full of officials who reported to him and sent him a letter.

"Marty, these are all blank, just fill in the name. Ren Tianxing and others are just water thieves. If they become officials of the Great Zhou Dynasty, they will definitely be willing to smoke from the ancestral grave!"

"Pooh!"

Before Lu Duosun finished speaking, Ye Hua spat hard.

Grandma, are all the thieves in the world so stupid as Song Jiang? For a black hat, they forced their brothers to die. When Ye Hua first looked at Water Margin, he couldn't figure it out. Liangshan defeated the Liao Kingdom without losing one. How could he conquer Fang La? So many died? Later, Ye Hua figured it out. If his grandma doesn't die, how dare the court be appointed as an official? Song Jiang also figured it out, so he fought hard and consumed all his brothers. He returned home in glory!

Ren Tianxing is not a thief like Song Jiang. He has not planned to completely surrender to the Great Zhou Dynasty yet. Ye Hua sternly said: "Mr. Lu, you can do whatever you want, just don't make the money!"
Chapter completed!
