Chapter 425 Big Event

Three days have passed since the temporary meeting. The issuance of Qin Lei’s “Three Major Project Construction Bonds” has been successfully supported by Fuxing Yamen. The two parties agreed that the Fuxing Yamen will guarantee the second and third phases of Qin Lei’s issuance of 20 million taels of silver. As a consideration, Qin Lei will pay 5% of the total face value of the Fuxing Yamen’s ticket, that is, one million taels of silver, as remuneration.

Both sides were very happy...at least when everything went well.

On the day after the meeting, the Zhuo Family Talent Rights auction was still a bidding method, and it was finally sold at a price of 55,000 taels per share. You should know that the price when he purchased a year ago was only 17,500 taels. In other words, the price of the Talent Rights in the Fuxing Yamen soared by three times.

After the incident in which Wen Mingli attempted to control the revival yamen, the entire deliberation meeting passed a supplementary resolution: if there is a right to discuss the matter, it must notify the deliberation bureau and all deliberations thirty days in advance. Within 60 days, the deliberation will be given priority to purchase the right to register and transfer the matter. Only if no one purchases it within 60 days can the outsiders be transferred.

It should be said that economic laws have their universal applicability, and mature economic organizational models also have their superiority beyond the times. As the Southern Deputies become familiar with the various rules and regulations of the deliberation conferences, the more they can understand the wonderfulness. This is an organizational form that can truly eliminate contradictions, unify their understanding, and form a joint force between all parties and factions.

The confidence of the southern gentry also increased, and the worship of the designer of all this, the young Prince Longwei, reached an unparalleled level.

So within one day, the Zhuo family's rights to be transferred were robbed and emptied. It is worth noting that all 400 rights to be spoken by small and medium-sized discussions, and the four masters did not get even a slightest bit.

Under Qin Lei's unconventional control, the four masters who had just eaten a large number of construction bonds temporarily felt full and had no appetite to eat the right to speak.

In fact, even if they were still hungry, they had no ability to eat: the Xu family had to borrow 3 million to buy bonds for ten years, totaling 5 million yuan. Now the whole family has to tighten their belts and live, so naturally they have no idea. After the Qiao family spit out another 2 million taels, they completely stopped. Although they could still maintain a corrupt life, they were really unable to get enough money to pay.

More importantly, they were really satisfied. Mr. Qiao could pat his chest and say, "My descendants of the Qiao family are worry-free!"

As for the Xu family, even though they had been bleed continuously since the 17th year of Zhaowu, they still had money. However, Xu Dancheng is an extremely smart person. How could he not understand the prince's intentions and naturally stop and never stand out.

Although the Zhuo family sold it for a good price, the right to speak was originally what they sold...

It is worth mentioning that although the Zhuo family received a redemption amount of 20 million silver, Zhuo Bingchen and Zhuo Wenzheng did not have much joy. They knew that they had too many rights to sell this time, and the deliberators also had to buy the prince's bonds, so the consideration that they could give was undoubtedly low.

Don’t forget that the general psychological price of the deliberators is between 70,000 and 80,000 taels. If anyone took out one of them earlier, it would not be impossible to sell them for 100,000 taels. But under various circumstances, the Zhuo family can only accept the result of selling at a low price.

After all, it’s still a big profit, right? After all, no one knows what the future will look like. After all, money is the one that is put in a cloth bag.

A happy transaction. If you want to say the only one who is amused and crying, it is Xu Chang's husband. The three million yuan was borrowed from Datong Money House with all his property as collateral, and the interest rate was exactly 10%...

This whole plan, full of fantasy and seamless, was all from Qin Lei alone. When he was conceiving the revival yamen, he had already laid enough foreshadowing for today's big deal. At that time... Le Buyi was still playing the flute on the mountain.

Although he didn't know how many brain cells he had murdered, the situation today was certain, and he felt that everything was worth it. From then on, the wealth of the world will be gathered into his own hands in this unprecedented way. He will also become the first ambitious man in history, not by occupying and plundering vast land, but by accumulating wealth.

More importantly, in this way, he firmly tied the south to his chariot and no longer had to worry about their betrayal. And he believed that as time goes by, more and more foreign provinces, even wealthy foreign families, will willingly join his chariot.

At that time, we will either go to glory together or turn into ashes. How can the upper and lower levels differ from evil desires?

So, in essence, Qin Lei is an absolute hooligan. As the saying goes, hooligans are educated and are not afraid of traveling all over the world.

In Qin Lei's memory, Li Shanchang would say in the future: "Build high walls, accumulate grain, and be king slowly!" This means that the struggle for hegemony is not the polo game where friendship is the best. It is not about who wins more, but about who lives longer and who can laugh to the end to be happiest.

To survive to the end, it is necessary to make a fortune in silence. For Qin Lei, his wealth is four words: "Soldiers are sophisticated and sufficient food"! Now there is enough food and money, and it is only a matter of training a elite army that can attack and defend.

So Qin Lei was undoubtedly full of confidence at this moment. He had to speed up the follow-up matters of foreign bonds and arrange the two provinces to train new troops to 28 prefectures, and then rushed back to Jingshan City to continue to train his Jingshan personal army.

After so many trials of right and wrong, he has long grown into a leader with firm will, quick thinking, far-sighted and ambitious.

As the saying goes: The sky is high and the birds fly, and the sea is wide and the fish leaps!

However, if things in the world are all satisfactory... then what do you have to do with the yamen and the army? So unhappiness is inevitable.

On May 27, the 18th year of Zhaowu, Qin Lei finally ended his arrangement in the south. Just when he was eager to fly back to Jingshan City, a piece of information from the Nanchu Intelligence Bureau completely disrupted his plan.

To put it concisely, there are six words: "The prince was detained."

To put it more complicatedly, even because the envoy of the Eastern Qi Dynasty also arrived at Shenjing City, the Qin-Chu negotiations broke down. Since the negotiations broke down, Chu State was not polite, so he simply left the prince as a guest and refused to let him back to Qin State.

In fact, he had no disgust for the Chu State's hospitality to keep the second child. But the consequences of this matter were too serious:

You should know that a tree is full of skin and a person is full of face. The crown prince of his own country has been detained. How can the Qin Kingdom, which is known as the world's number one, not furious? The reason why it is still calm now is that Qin Lei's intelligence work is already very powerful. At least he obtained this piece of intelligence that could change the current situation before the big boss in the court.

It can be foreseeable that within a month, Qi and Chu will start a new round of confrontation. But Qin Lei is sure that the two sides are just confrontation. After all, the enemy that poses the greatest threat to Qin is Dongqi, which has a thousand miles bordering it and a million armors, rather than Chu State in the south.

If you have a fever for a while and attack without distinguishing between the primary and secondary, you will most likely be attacked from both sides and will be in a dilemma. It will be truly ugly at that time.

Therefore, based on Qin Lei's judgment, Emperor Zhaowu and Taiwei Li would not fight with Nan Chu lightly, but they could not ignore the detained prince. Wu's failure to write a letter would probably send someone to negotiate.

"Well, I'm very likely this negotiator." Qin Lei concluded at last. He knew very well about Emperor Zhaowu's temper. As long as the old man had problems that were difficult to solve, he would throw them to himself as soon as he had them. He had never been exceptional for two years.

Since he had already made a judgment on the situation, the original plan could only be adjusted. He canceled his itinerary to head north, stayed honestly in Xiangyang City, waiting for Emperor Zhaowu to send his life. He was a professional soldier from the bottom of his bones, never afraid of challenges, and never escaped difficulties. After a simple thought, he decided to obey the orders he was about to receive and complete it.

He first spent three days explaining the next stage of the Jingshan Army's training outline one by one, and sorting it into a book, and ordering people to pass it on to the officers of the Jingshan Camp with a harrier eagle. At this point, he can only trust them, after all, state affairs are the most important.

While waiting for the imperial edict, he once again received a letter from the Xiangyang Prefecture's charity and the investigation has proved that there was no corruption and misappropriation in Xiangyang Prefecture, and the stroke prefect was indeed innocent. However, he was too weak and indulged in the issue of group training, and he had long heard of the large-scale corruption in the neighboring prefectures, but he did not report it to Qin Lei.

So Qin Lei first apologized to him sincerely, and then criticized his problem of "It's better to have less than more things". He almost said sternly: "Don't think that just serving you three-point land is enough. You must know that how can you finish your eggs when you collapse the nest?"

The bus Shangshu said with shame: "I understand."

Qin Lei's expression then calmed down and he said in a deep voice: "Don't feel wronged in his heart. Only when love is deep will he blame him. The Lone King has expectations for you." He felt that this was too innovating, so he swallowed the second half of the sentence "I will use yours in the future."

But the bus merchant still likes his tricks. He heard this and said excitedly: "I'm humble... I won't disappoint the prince anymore."

Qin Lei nodded and praised, "You have to stand up your chest so that you can support the backbone of the south!" He said with a smile, "From now on, the south will be divided into two parts of the government and the Fuxing Yamen. The government is responsible for managing government affairs, while the Fuxing Yamen will supervise its specific implementation. Although it will make you feel a little awkward, this is the only way to maintain long-term stability."

The bus Shangshu bowed and said, "Assume the prince's arrangement." In fact, Qin Lei was worried too much. Officials of this era were originally controlled by the aristocratic families. Now they have the opportunity to divide the world with them. How could they feel uncomfortable?

During the days of waiting, Qin Lei was also extremely busy. He had to inspect the neighboring prefecture during the day and listen to the report of the Intelligence Bureau on Nan Chu at night, so as to gain a deeper understanding of the country and all aspects. To be ashamed, he focused all his attention on Qi State, and knew almost nothing about Chu State except those on the surface.

So you must make every effort to prepare.

Six days later, Qin Lei received information from the capital. Emperor Zhaowu and Taiwei Li were indeed as expected, just ordered the entire Zhennan Army to be on guard and strengthen patrols on the river. However, there was no intention of ordering the imperial guards to go south.

Of course, the letter of nationality that strongly condemned the rogue behavior of Nan Chu and demanded gifts to send the prince out of the country has also been urgently delivered to the State of Chu by 800 miles, but it is unknown how much effect it can play.

Now the fool knows that Qin does not plan to go to war with Nanchu... If Zhennan Army could deal with Zhuli on the other side of the river, the old Marshal Boshang, who had been thinking about crossing the river, would have fought the Yangtze River long ago and liberated the entire Chu State, so how could he have spent all day drinking to drown his sorrows?

At the same time, news came from Southern Chu that Emperor Jingtai proposed conditions, requiring the Western Qin to ced thirteen prefectures south of Xiangyang Prefecture in exchange for the life of the prince.

This condition is too outrageous. Unless the prince is his father, he doesn't even have to consider it. But Nan Chu did not naively think that Emperor Zhaowu would agree to this absurd request for a son. They were just asking for a price everywhere, waiting for the Qin Dynasty to pay back the money...

Six days later, Harrier Eagle brought the latest news. His Majesty the Emperor had sent a large number of envoys to go south day and night in order to resolve the emergencies through peaceful consultations. Unsurprisingly, the envoy this time was His Highness, the wise and powerful Prince Longwei.

This was also a last resort. Originally, the ministers deserved it. But under Wen Yanbo's suppression for more than ten years, there were no other civil officials who enjoyed a lofty international reputation in the court. Now he has gone to the late emperor to report, and the five newly released Grand Secretary were extremely fresh and probably no one would buy it. For a moment, no one in the court was competent, so he had to put his mind on his son... After all, he was a prince, and his status could barely support the situation.

Waiting and waiting, almost looking through the autumn water, the mission that came towards him finally arrived in Xiangyang and met with Qin Lei, the envoy. When Wang Anting, the Grand Secretary of Xianzheng Hall, appeared in front of him with Zhou Baojun, the Minister of the Honglu Temple, appeared in the end of June.

During this long wait of more than a month, Qin Lei's mood gradually changed from burning fire to being unhurried and uneasy. Because he realized that he had almost missed the military exercise in Qiuli... You should know that this is a mission, not a war, but an international etiquette is required. There are some considerations for how many miles to go and where to rest every day.

Especially after arriving in Chu, whoever decides who should go or stop, you have to listen to others. If you drag you on the road for two or three months, you have to admit it honestly, otherwise what else can you do?

Therefore, Qin Lei estimated that it would be good to be able to arrive in Nanchu in August. The prince is now a rare item, so Nanchu could not regard him as a baton. As soon as the Qin people arrived, they handed over it. I don’t know when the mushrooms will be the end.

Therefore, he was sure that unless the State of Chu knocked the prince now, there would be no hope for the September military exercise.

In other words, his beautiful plans have all become vague, and his judgment on the future has become chaotic for the first time.

"Let's take a look!" When Shi Gan asked him about his countermeasures, Qin Lei smiled bitterly and said, "How can anything be as satisfactory?" After that, he picked up a pen and wrote a letter to the three commanders of Jingshan Camp, asking them to train their teams well and prepare for participating in the military exercises themselves:

‘…If Gu really hasn’t returned, Wen Yu will lead the three armies, with Brother Huangfu and Brother Shen Qing assisting him. I hope the three of them work together to achieve great achievements. Qin Lei is ashamed of his writing.’
