[Comprehensive] Feasibility report on the restoration of the country

In the dead of night, when Qiao Feng was visiting the coin workshop at night, Murong Fu was arranging for Bao BuTong his future work. "You are going to the capital, and you are called the teacher's housekeeper, but the teacher is careless and informal, and you have to arrange for him every communication. Remember to be careful in everything, and don't offend people who shouldn't be offended."

Bao BuTong answered yes with a low eyebrow, and said again: "My lord, the so-called gentleman is magnanimous, and the villain is more respectable. If it is a gentleman, it doesn't matter if you offend it; if it is a villain, the bachelor is now occupying the position of the right minister. It's a crime."

Bao BuTong was so awake, Murong Fu immediately smiled. "Brother Bao San is so transparent, it proves that he didn't choose the wrong person for the reinstatement. However, there is a gentleman's way to deal with a gentleman, and a villain's way to deal with a villain. I have handed over the "Bianjing Times" to Huang Tingjian, you don't have to Excuse me. After you go to the capital, gather people to run another newspaper, and let me keep an eye on the two parties of Luo and Shuo, and write about their romantic history!" This arrangement by Murong Fu can be described as ruthless. As far as I am concerned, if my reputation is ruined by the affair of stealing incense and jade, I will undoubtedly completely lose the foundation of gaining a foothold in the court.

Bao BuTong obviously realized the viciousness of this move, so he folded his fan and shouted loudly: "My lord, this plan is very good! This plan is very good! False words and hearsay, the custody taught them to burn their heads and make a big mistake!" Sacred Heart. Where is the time to seek the bad luck of the bachelor?"

"If the court confronts each other, these rumors alone will not be enough. At that time, Brother Bao must know how to make good use of our property in the capital." Murong Fu finally instructed.

Seeing Murong Fu's gloomy expression, Bao BuTong immediately thought of the words "heaven and earth", and nodded in understanding.

After chatting about the business, Murong Fu rubbed his eyebrows casually and buried himself in his work again.Bao BuTong should have bowed and resigned, but seeing Murong Fu staying up all night for several days in a row, he finally couldn't help persuading him: "My lord, you should take care of your health even though the business is important."

Murong Fu gave a "hmm" without raising his head, and said casually, "Understood. Arrange for me a quarter of an hour tomorrow morning, and I will meet Qiao Feng."

In Bao BuTong's heart, Qiao Feng, the head of the beggar gang, was still regarded as Murong Fu's friend, but it was of no help to Murong's business.Hearing that Murong Fu was going to take time to meet Qiao Feng, Bao BuTong couldn't help but said: "Master, you will sign alliance contracts with eighteen companies tomorrow, what are you doing seeing Qiao Feng?"

Murong Fu raised his head from the work of reviewing the terms of the contract, and said in a deep voice: "Eighteen firms are just the beginning, there is a vast market overseas, and my Murong's business will grow bigger and bigger in the future."

Bao differently smiled triumphantly, and echoed, "It's only natural."

"After the market is revitalized, trade will become more prosperous. Rivers, lakes and seas extend in all directions, as long as there is a boat, you can go anywhere. But if you go by land, you will pass customs and cards all the way..."

"The gatekeepers are mostly tricky and greedy, and there are many thieves and thieves on the road. It's time to use the beggars' gang!" Bao Budong has been immersed in shopping malls for a long time, and Murong Fu reminded him of the deep meaning. "Small and medium-sized merchants lack contacts, and borrowing the power of the beggar gang can control costs." The beggar gang has [-] members, and they are familiar with many people, and they have friendships from all religions. It is obviously more time-saving and labor-saving to incorporate the beggar gang than to start a new one for Murong Fu.

"That's exactly the reason." Murong Fu smiled lightly, and said to himself: The underworld should do some business that is suitable for the underworld, such as a freight security company.

Unexpectedly, this suggestion was put in front of Qiao Feng, but Qiao Feng mercilessly beat him back.Facing Murong Fu's expression of not disappointing, Qiao Feng pondered for a while, and suddenly said seriously: "Your brother's method is indeed refreshing, but if it is established with the intention of my brother... Shunfeng Escort, in the future, my brother will be a member of my gang of beggars. Food and clothing, parents. As time goes on, the disciples of the beggar gang probably only know the younger brother, but they don't know me as the leader of the gang?"

Qiao Feng's statement was really not like his usual behavior, so Murong Fu froze on the spot and couldn't react.After a long time, Fang Fang came back to his senses, and said with a somewhat hesitant and somewhat apologetic expression: "It's my younger brother who didn't think carefully, let me think about this matter carefully."

"I don't think so." Qiao Feng didn't go down the donkey, but said coldly. "It is better to maintain the status quo than to further divide the clean clothes and dirty clothes factions for a small profit."

If something is abnormal, it must be a demon.Murong Fu finally sensed that something was wrong, and immediately looked at Qiao Feng with probing eyes.

After an unknown amount of time, Qiao Feng was the first to be defeated in this confrontation.He turned his head to avoid Murong Fu's sharp eyes, and said in a deep voice: "Murong, I saw your coin workshop."

"So that's what it is," Murong Fu nodded silently, "That's how it is... Thank you Brother Qiao for your guidance, I will remind Brother Mai to strengthen his defense."

"Murong, don't you want to explain something?" Qiao Feng had always been straight-hearted, seeing Murong Fu deliberately avoiding this matter, he finally frowned. "Coining privately is a serious crime of beheading and abandoning the market!"

"Nowadays there is a money shortage in the market. I'm not afraid that brother Qiao will make fun of me. My brother's salary last month was only a few wine bags. If you don't find a way to save some private money, you will not be able to survive this day. "Murong Fu let out a long sigh in a sad tone, as if he would be unable to uncover the pot tomorrow.

Qiao Feng laughed back out of breath, and almost squeezed out a sentence: "Private money saved up in a warehouse?"

"There is always room to spend money in business, so you can't think of a way until you're in a hurry." Murong Fu said casually.The minting technology of the Song Dynasty was the highest in the world, and both the common people of the Song Dynasty and other ethnic groups in other countries had the habit of accumulating official coins of the Song Dynasty.As time goes by, a money shortage naturally arises.With the shortage of money, the court was unable to solve it, and economic development was also affected.If the economy stagnates, the court's taxes will be reduced. In order to maintain expenses, they can only choose to increase taxes, which further increases the burden on the people.Murong Fu occupied several mines overseas. In order to break the vicious circle mentioned above, minting coins became an inevitable choice.As for the warehouse full of private money that Qiao Feng saw, it was the reserve fund that Murong Fu bought for the convenience of buying and selling and setting up a bank.

Qiao Feng didn't understand these financial methods, but he knew that Murong Fu's actions had put him in a more dangerous situation.He believes that with Murong Fu's intelligence, he will not fail to understand the key points.Seeing that Murong Fu was still laughing and laughing without restraint, Qiao Feng was furious, and immediately slapped the table vigorously.Hearing a crisp "click", the red sandalwood desk in front of Murong Fu, weighing about ten kilograms, broke into two pieces immediately, and the pen, ink and documents on the desk spilled all over the floor. "Murong Fu!" Qiao Feng roared instantly, staring at him murderously.

"What's the matter?" Bao BuTong rushed into the door after hearing the commotion. "My lord, what happened?"

Murong Fu was still sitting in his seat, but at this moment, his expression finally became serious. "Brother Qiao, you might as well speak up if you have something to say."

Qiao Feng was silent for a while, and finally said exhaustedly: "I have seen your strength in the past few days. You have a dock for your own use, and you can transport goods and grain; The quality of the production supervised by the imperial court is better; your business is already astounding, and the profits you earn every year can’t be spent in ten lifetimes, but you are still minting coins privately; the population of Shanghai is no less than [-] today, and there will only be more in the future. You With money, food, people, and even weapons, Murong, what do you want to do?"

"Brother Qiao thinks what I want to do?" Murong Fu interjected, unwilling to answer this question directly.

Qiao Feng's throat rolled twice, and he was also unwilling to say those two words.He turned his head and looked out of the window, a red sun was slowly rising, the bright sunlight poured into the room from the window, colorfully sprinkled all over Murong Fu's body and added a layer of golden light around him, like a Buddha.Qiao Feng never forgot: Back then at the border, everyone was killing people, only Murong Fu was saving people. "Murong, don't disappoint the bachelor and me."

Murong Fu still avoided answering, and asked instead: "What did I do to disappoint you? Shouldn't I be in business? Shouldn't I be doing such a big business? Capital pursues profit, and once it starts, I can't control it. Should we stop now?"

"I remember, I remember what you said." Qiao Feng turned around and stared at Murong Fu closely, saying every word. "If capital has a 50.00% profit, it will take risks; if it has a [-]% profit, it will dare to trample on all laws in the world; if it has a [-]% profit, it will dare to commit any crime, even risking being The danger of being hanged. But I always thought that it was a mistake made by people who are deluded by interests. Are you? Murong, are you such an idiot? Are you going to... plot rebellion?"

Bao BuTong had ulterior motives, and when he heard the word "rebellion", the alarm immediately rang in his heart, and he couldn't help but shouted: "Master!" The veins on the back of his right hand, which was holding the fan, were bulging, and his feet were not aligned. Eight is the figure before the shot.As long as Murong Fu gives an order, he will violently take Qiao Feng's life.

But Qiao Feng didn't notice this at all, he still looked at Murong Fu frankly, waiting for his answer.

Murong Fu also didn't have the idea of ​​murdering people to silence them. He gave Bao Tong a calm look, and said to Qiao Feng: "It turns out that if you have money and food, and someone has weapons, you should rebel. Chief Qiao, are you too arrogant?" Are you looking at my ability, or are you underestimating my character?"

"It is precisely because I have never underestimated your ability that I am even more worried!" Qiao Feng fixed his eyes on Murong Fu without blinking, and the muscles on his back unconsciously tensed slightly, like a cheetah ready to go. "Each of the eighteen merchants is a wealthy shopping mall hero, but only you, only you can unite them. You are good at the way of merchants and goods, and you are even better at managing power. There are bachelors to support you, and there are With silver bullets opening the way and steel knives in your hands, once the eighteen merchants join forces, all the southeast roads will be under your control. I am afraid that even the imperial soldiers can be used by you. But you are not satisfied, you still have to go The west side. I have little knowledge, so I don’t know what business can be done to tie the people and officials from all the roads in the west to your chariot. But I know that no matter whether it is the official family or the imperial court, they can accommodate countless wealthy people. Merchants, there is absolutely no room for a Murong Fu who has such a huge power! Murong, once your power shakes the government and the public, how will you deal with yourself? For the sake of loyalty, die to thank the world? Or do nothing, just raise the flag Conspiracy to add a yellow robe?"

As for Murong Fu, he completely relaxed at this moment.I saw him looking up at Qiao Feng, and said vaguely: "If there really is a day, will brother Qiao fight for the country?"

"Murong, don't you understand that if that day comes, you will be an enemy of the world! Your friend, your teacher, Zhong Jinglue, Su Xueshi, which one of them is not loyal to the court? At that time, How do you want them to deal with themselves?" Qiao Feng should have been angry because Murong Fu was not taught.But for some reason, he calmed down strangely at this moment. "Murong, what kind of answer do you want from me? So far, I still regard you as my best brother, and I don't want you to die. So, do you want people to die?"

Qiao Feng didn't know that his answer was enough to satisfy Murong Fu.Murong Fu broke his face and smiled, and said in a brisk tone: "The west side is remote and the roads are not smooth. I can't think of any other way besides farming and mulberry for a living. And the matter of immigration is not the hard work of one or two generations. It's hard to see the effect. Didn't Brother Qiao ever think that I went to Xiping not to tap another source of income or weave another power, but to spend money?"

Qiao Feng was startled for a moment, before answering after a while: "Military merit?"

"That's right." Murong Fu got up and pointed to the map behind him, "From Xiping to Lanzhou to Qingzhou, the line of defense that the late emperor hadn't completed back then, I plan to spend a million guns to actually build it, so as to destroy it slightly Xia Guo laid the foundation. With this great achievement, the teacher can stay in the position of Zaizhi for ten years, or even longer, until I enter the political affairs hall. I don’t want chaotic officials and thieves, and Zaizhi the world is more suitable for me.”

Murong Fu had this ambition, Qiao Feng was immediately relieved.It's just that when he heard Murong Fu talking about military affairs, he got a toothache, and immediately hummed and said: "Murong, the war of destroying the country is by no means a trivial matter, and we should also listen to some strategic opinions. Including this line of defense..."

Murong Fu obviously knew that he was only a military enthusiast at best, not a strategist by any means.Since Qiao Feng had mentioned this point, he immediately replied politely: "How to fight this battle, I will naturally follow some strategic arrangements. The mistakes made by the late Emperor, I will never repeat the same mistakes."

With Murong Fu's guarantee, Qiao Feng immediately smiled heartily, cupped his hands and said: "Those who are able will work harder, and I will entrust the matter of the Shunfeng Escort to my virtuous brother!" Previously, Qiao Feng didn't want Murong Fu to go astray, so he refused According to his wish.Seeing that Murong Fu acted in his own way now, Qiao Feng naturally had to keep his promise to help him.

Murong Fu stared at Qiao Feng for a while, then suddenly gave a "tsk", and said with disgust on his face: "I think it's better to forget it. If it is for a little profit to make the clean clothes and dirty clothes more divided, isn't it my fault?" guilt?"

"Brother Yu is so talented, Brother Yu believes that you will be able to arrange it properly." Qiao Feng smiled apologetically.

"You believe..." Murong Fu repeated these three words in a low voice, and the memories of the past and Qiao Feng came flooding back at this moment.Only then did he suddenly realize that since they met, Qiao Feng had always believed in him, no matter what decision he made. "Brother Qiao, do you believe everything I say?"

"Of course!" Qiao Feng met Murong Fu's gaze and replied extremely firmly. "Maybe there are some things that you can see but I can't. But as long as you say it, I will believe you!"

"Good brother!" Murong Fu patted Qiao Feng's broad shoulders vigorously, the shoulders were so thick and reliable, as if he could bear no matter how heavy a burden was placed on him.

"Brother Bao," Murong Fu looked at Bao BuTong again, and ordered seriously. "Next time Brother Qiao asks me if I have the intention of treason, remember to prepare three hundred knives and axes to wait outside the account!"

"...Yes." Bao BuTong didn't know whether Murong Fu's sentence was true or not, so he had a very difficult time answering it.

And Qiao Feng, who was standing beside Murong Fu, laughed loudly when he heard the words.

The author has something to say:

Murong: You ask me why I cast private money?Because I am poor!

Qiao Feng: ...
