Li Fang glanced at Yan Buzhi strangely, and then laughed: "Sir, please come in."

Although Yan Buzhi could see the doubt and disdain in the other party's eyes, he was not angry, but was happy.

At least Li Fang is willing to listen to his plan, which is enough.

Then several people came to the inner hall of Li Fang's house and started discussions.

Li Fang cupped his hands and said, "Although I have some financial resources, I really don't know what business you are talking about?"

Being so straightforward saved Yan Buzhi a lot of thinking and he said directly: "Do you want to get involved in the mining business?"

Um? !

Li Fang was stunned for a moment and said in surprise: "Does your Excellency know where the mine is?"

"No minerals have been discovered in Hushan City since ancient times, but there is an iron mine in Madian County, which is closest to Hushan City." Yan Buzhi said calmly.

Li Fang had a dark face: "Your Excellency, you won't say that the mine is under your control, right?"

"Not now, but soon."

Li Fang suppressed his anger. Not to mention that the minerals in Madian County were under the jurisdiction of the local county government. Even the Ma family who opened the mine was not something he could deal with except a mere member of his family.

Although his family has a relationship with the prefect, this friendship is not used for robbery. He is afraid that the prefect will have someone kill him before he takes action.

After considering various factors, Li Fang only felt that Yan in front of him was talking nonsense to fool him, and he couldn't help but get angry and said:

"Could it be that the adults are here to entertain the little old man?"

"Madian County will be robbed by bandits within ten days." Yan Buzhi said calmly.

After saying that, Yan Buzhi stood up and laughed: "In ten days, I will come back to Yuanwai to discuss this matter."

Li Fang's face was dark, and he didn't know where the other party's confidence came from.

After they left, Li Fang received a reply from his servants and realized that this Yan Wan was actually a mud-legged man. He was just chosen by the county magistrate to join the army, and he was just a temporary centurion? !

"Damn it, wasting my time!" Li Fang was extremely angry and felt that he was being fooled.

But for Jia Zhen's sake, he couldn't go directly to question her.

After leaving Li's house, the younger brother Wang Er next to him asked: "Brother, how do you know that Madian County will be looted?"

"Guess."

"Guess?"

The three younger brothers looked at Yan Buzhi with strange expressions, as if their elder brother was talking in his sleep.

They don't know if there are bandits outside Madian County, but the defense force in a place like the mine is definitely not weak. What kind of bandits can defeat Madian County?

Madian County was originally built at the foot of the mine. Whenever someone attacked, everyone would go directly to the mine to hide. With the advantage of geographical location, it is easy to defend but difficult to attack. Which bandit would not dare to attack without the foresight?

Yan Buzhi laughed: "Just wait."

A few days later, Jia Zhen also heard about it.

He didn't know how Yan Wan dared to say that someone would attack Madian County, but out of curiosity, seeing that they had been doing nothing for the past few days but looking very calm, Jia Zhen turned her head and found Yan Buzhi Chatted.

"Brother Yan."

"Brother Minhe."

The two met before. Jia Zhen sat at the wine table and asked: "Brother Yan, are you really not in a hurry? What if you haven't gathered people to prepare to wipe out the bandits outside the city?"

Yan Buzhi said calmly: "I have no power and no money, how can I recruit people?"

Jia Zhen looked embarrassed: "This..."

"But brother Minhe, don't worry about it. I, Yan Fu, am not a pretentious person. Since you are here, you must have got news about Li Yuan's family, right?"

Jia Zhen nodded: "Brother Yan, why did he know that Madian County would be robbed by bandits? He didn't say whether he would go or not. He just said that the Ma family in charge of the mine in Madian County was not someone to be trifled with. He kept many private people under his command. Soldiers are not something anyone can touch."

Yan laughed in vain: "Brother Minhe, have you forgotten the Hutoushan bandits outside the city?"

"What's the meaning?"

"I've heard of this group of bandits. Although they rob people on the road, they have no intention of harming anyone. Since a few years ago, they have deliberately hijacked some caravans carrying large amounts of precious goods. But they succeed every time. , don’t you think it’s strange that you just made such a name?”

Jia Zhen frowned and thought of a possibility: "You mean someone is secretly supporting them?"

"That's right, the protection ability of the large caravan is not bad, how could it be completely eliminated by a group of mountain bandits. Even if there is a problem here, not many people know the real reason. But Brother Minhe might as well think about it carefully, this In this area, where is the best place to start?”

Jia Zhen's eyes widened: "If you want to put it that way, Madian County is indeed a good place."

There are iron mines, which means that armaments can be built, and the terrain is advantageous there. As long as a few hundred people are deployed, there is no fear of siege by thousands of soldiers.

But this means that several nearby counties, including Hushan City, have an unknown force that is preparing to rebel? !

"This news...how did Brother Yan know about it?!" Jia Zhen looked at Yan Buzhi seriously.

"intuition."

"ah?"

You have no evidence for co-authorship? !

Jia Zhen thought for a while and asked: "Even if this is true, what does it have to do with you?"

"It has nothing to do with me, but it has something to do with the prefect. If someone really rebels here, will Hushan City be spared? Will we have to send troops to suppress the rebellion? If I want to take the first step in this situation, money is indispensable Support, that’s why I went to see Mr. Li.”

Jia Zhen was stunned for a moment and looked at Yan Buzhi in surprise.

Indeed, if someone really rebelled, the governor would be furious and would definitely force the surrounding counties to send troops to suppress the rebellion. When the fighting started, Hushan City would have to contribute manpower.

Yan Wang went to Li Yuanwai in advance. First, Li Yuanwai had a relationship with the governor, and second, if Yan Wang could get support to form a team, he would have made contributions in suppressing the rebellion....

After a while, Li Yuanwai got the mining rights of the mine, Yan Wang got fame, status and military power, and Jia Xiu and him could also get the governor's praise!

The premise is.....

"Are you really confident that you can take down the rebels?" Jia Zhen asked.

"So it depends on whether you dare to bet on me. At least Brother Minhe knows my strength." Yan Buji smiled.

Jia Zhen's eyes turned and he understood what Yan Buji meant.

He was waiting for Madian County to become chaotic, so that he could be his lobbyist and persuade Li Yuanwai to pay money to help him form a team to suppress the rebellion!

"Or you can say that the mine is very profitable. Why not bring in all the wealthy families nearby and make the people in our area rich first, led by Mr. Li." Yan Buji said with a smile.

Jia Zhen took a deep breath.

This plan... is really powerful. ,

If Yan Wang can really get the credit, then the interests of all of them will be tied together. At that time, Yan Wang will not be afraid of these wealthy families turning against him. Instead, he will have stable support to support his ambitions!
