Chapter 666

Silence!

After thinking for a while, Yang Feng asked, "do you mean that we give up the boundary of Huai'an mansion and don't have to take it back?"

Yang Feng deliberately uses the word "us" to bind Wang Biren.

After all, after situ Zheng's death, Tian Daguang, the new head of the house, was Wang Biren's man, so Huai'an house should be the territory in Wang Biren's charge.

But later, the new head of the house became a member of the Murong family, which shows that Wang Biren abandoned the land boundary.

Yang Feng's first reaction when he heard Tu Ganglie talk about it was that it was not a general struggle, but a replacement of the interests of the upper class.

You only see the intrigues below and don't know the intrigues above. You can't really understand the development of the situation. That's why he came to ask Wang Biren for all the truth.

When Wang Boren heard his question and understood what he meant, he couldn't help laughing and said, "boy, Huai'an is an abandoned son. I gave it up myself at the beginning. You should have heard about the assassination of the great general Murong mountain."

"Yes, Mr. Xiang, everyone knows about it now in the streets."

"Yes, that event had a great impact on the current situation, which gave the Murong family a full excuse to challenge the royal family. In order to calm the anger of the Murong family, your majesty made the greatest concession, ceding the whole northwest territory to the Murong family's autonomy and making the Murong family king of Zhenxi. Now the whole Murong family can be said to have established the state of China and set up their own in the northwest The small imperial court of. It's not too much to rebel any day! "

Gently shaking the folding fan, Wang Boren's face gradually became solemn: "However, they now have such great power, but there is an additional condition in the original conditions, that is, to put the head of Huai'an mansion in the charge of the person recommended by them. Do you know why? They are now in charge of more than 30 prefectures and counties in the northwest. They don't have to hand over all the financial revenue to the imperial court. They can still see it Is Huai'an mansion such a small place? "

"Is it... For face?"

Yang Feng thought for a moment and murmured.

Wang Boren nodded faintly and said with a smile: "You can teach me. That's right. Murong mountain was assassinated and killed when he was entangled in the territory of the first Huai'an government. Therefore, it is rumored that he was stabbed to death because he fought for Huai'an government and provoked people who shouldn't be provoked. This has greatly affected the military prestige and face of the white tiger army, so Huai'an is a place of shame for them. They can only take Huai'an back As for Huai'an, a poor place, the actual benefits it can bring to them are basically minimal, a drop in the bucket. "

As he spoke, Wang Boren leaned back in his chair with a wandering face and said proudly: "Just because they liked this place so much, I decided to give it up at that time. First, the Murong family was angry at that time, and I shouldn't provoke it; second, since they attached so much importance to this broken place, I simply used it as a bargaining chip to recover the interests of at least ten prefectures from them. This deal was between me and your majesty at that time The best deal we can make with them. "

Hearing this, Yang Feng's face was as calm as water, but Ximen Zun and Tu Ganglie couldn't stop frowning.

Huai'an is their hometown, where they grew up from small to large, and they value it more than anyone else. However, they never thought that they attach so much importance to the stability and prosperity of their hometown. They hope that a government leader with both political integrity and ability can be sent to govern, at least not for one side of the disaster. In the eyes of the public, it is just a political weight for negotiation, which can be abandoned at any time.

No wonder how the old chamber of Commerce wrote to the court to impeach both situ Zheng and now the new head of the government.

Because although it is their hometown, everything is not decided by them.

They are just a group of untouchables under the rule of the imperial court and have no power to decide their fate. Even if the government leader is domineering and kills innocent people indiscriminately, they can't resist.

Resistance is rebellion, but if you don't resist, the court won't care about their life and death.

This... What world!

Ximen Zun and Yang Feng were not angry, but Yang Feng was not so excited after pondering a little. He just nodded lightly: "I see, that is to say, this place has been cut off to the Murong family. Even if something happens to the master, the next master or the Murong family can't be reversed?"

"Yang Feng, don't always have a personal mood and stare at your hometown. To tell you the truth, there is no oil and water in your hometown. At the beginning, Murong mountain kept staring at it. First, the Murong family was really short of money and couldn't give up one house and one place; second, it was a matter of face. He couldn't ignore his people dead there, otherwise it would damage his prestige. Later, the Murong family became king, and there was no shortage of money It's just a matter of face if you still stare at the military expenditure. "

Speaking of this, Wang Biren suddenly stood up and pointed to Yang Feng: "But now you're just a commoner. What face do you want? You have to take back the effort you spent in Huai'an mansion and you can do a greater cause. When you start your career and have enough capital, it's easy to take back Huai'an mansion. So I advise you not to be impulsive and work hard in the imperial capital. There are plenty of opportunities here. Don't be persistent In the broken place of Huai'an. "

"Opportunity? Xiangye means..."

"If you can get the post of president of the imperial chamber of Commerce, your majesty will look up to you!"

"President of the imperial chamber of Commerce?"

Yang Feng asked, "what's that?"

"The imperial chamber of commerce is a non-governmental organization jointly established by the chambers of Commerce of all counties of Fenglei. It is supervised by the imperial court and is responsible for the material operation and allocation of the whole empire. It can be said that if Huai'an chamber of commerce is the money bag of Huai'an, then the Imperial chamber of commerce is the money bag of Fenglei. How important do you think?"

"Fenglei's money bag?"

Yang Feng smiled and said, "I'm rich, too."

"I know you must have a lot of money behind you now, but has your money been integrated into the whole empire?"

"What does Mr. Xiang mean by this?"

"If you only have a large amount of money and keep it in a cave, it will have no impact on the whole Fenglei empire. Only by integrating them into all walks of life of the empire can you have strong control."

After taking a deep breath, Wang Boren's eyes glittered: "The scholar, farmer, artisan and merchant, though they are in the last place, but their strength is the strongest. Businessmen are responsible for the economic circulation of the whole empire. If the circulation is cut off, the whole empire will be paralyzed. So since ancient times, the imperial court has been pressing businessmen, but actually they are afraid that businessmen will hold all the industries of the Empire. Then who has the final say of the whole empire?"

"However, the empire can't leave the merchants and can only supervise. Therefore, the position of president of the Imperial General Chamber of commerce is extremely important. All forces want to occupy it. But now, this position is in the hands of the Murong family, do you understand?"

With a clear nod, Yang Feng looked at Wang Biren in surprise and praised him in his heart.

He is worthy of being the Prime Minister of the dynasty. He is really insightful.

How did he know that the future society is a capitalist society, and businessmen are really awesome.

Moreover, the imperial court will still strictly monitor every move of businessmen for fear that they will monopolize the industry.

I have to say that these imperial court officials have a long-term vision!

Thinking of this, Yang Feng suddenly stood up, bowed and hugged his fist: "thank you for your guidance, Prime Minister. Yang Feng knows what to do and leaves."

"Well, you can teach me. By the way, Yue Ying is taking a lunch break in the attic in the backyard. Would you like to see her?"

"No, let her have a good rest. I'll go and win the president of the National Chamber of Commerce now. He took my Huai'an and I took all of him, hum!"

With that, Yang Feng turned his head directly and left with two men.

Wang Boren nodded his head with a hopeful face and said secretly in his heart, I hope you really have that ability, then I'll really recognize you as a fast-moving son-in-law, ha ha.

Then, after the three left, Wang Biren hurriedly opened the box of cakes, but just opened the lid, his face drooped quickly.

"Shit, it's really just a box of ordinary cakes. Fortunately, I just treated him so warmly and gave him a tribute of imperial tea. This smelly boy was beaten by his routine, shit!"
