Wu Yue is rich, Ye Hua knows about this, but there is so much silver deposited, it makes him quite surprised, where does the silver come from, it won't fall from the sky, right?

Not to mention, Zhao Er worked hard, he told the master that Wu Yue's silver came from Lingnan, and it is said that silver has been widely used in transactions in Lingnan, not only large-scale transactions between merchants, but also for daily trading.

Ye Hua was taken aback, the common use of silver, isn't it a matter after the Ming Dynasty, how can it be now? It seems that Lingnan does not produce silver, where did it come from?

Ye Hua used his brains, since the Sui and Tang dynasties, many bearded people have crossed the ocean and come to the Central Plains to do business, they have rich gold and silver reserves, and it is impossible to carry heavy copper when they sail in the ocean.

Hundreds of thousands of bearded merchants gathered in Lingnan to purchase materials and trade exchanges, so they naturally brought gold and silver with them.

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

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

Between the Southern Han Dynasty and Wu Yue, there was a common interest, that is, to resist the pressure of the Southern Tang Dynasty, and they traded frequently with each other, and Wu Yue's silk grain sold well in Lingnan.

Over the past few decades, Wu Yue's treasury has accumulated a lot of silver, so it is not surprising at all!

"Master, let's do a vote!" Zhao Er's eyes were red, when this kid was in Youzhou, he killed and looted, and did all kinds of evil, obviously, he didn't have any burden to rob Wu Yue's money.

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

"What's that?"

"Is it whether you can grab it!" After Ye Hua finished speaking, he threw off his big stride and went directly to Ren Tianxing, and he had to find an expert to solve professional matters.

After Ren Tianxing listened, he told Ye Hua very seriously, no, absolutely not!

According to normal reason, Wu Yue sent New Year's coins to the Southern Tang Dynasty, and it was okay to take the land route, so why take the risk of taking the Yangtze River? Although it is convenient to ship by sea, Ren Tianxing occupies the mouth of the Yangtze River, and the passing ships can escape his eyes?

Loaded with a lot of silver, aren't you waiting for this big thief to rob it? Wu Yue is stupid, even if Nantang is so stupid?

"So I think it's a trap, a trap to lure me into sending troops, and I guess the two countries want to join forces and kill me!" Ren Tianxing said: "The surname Ren has not yet agreed to be a courtier of the Great Zhou, I am greedy for money, but I am not stupid enough to fall into the net." ”

This guy is really a bachelor, he keeps shaking his head, and he doesn't agree.

Ye Hua pondered for a moment, "Ren Shipowner, you must know that I have captured Youzhou in the Great Zhou, and we have a siege weapon in our hands!" ”

Ren Tianxing jumped up in shock, his voice trembled, "Master Hou means to give me your treasure for the siege!" ”

"That's right, a bed crossbow, with gunpowder, can still blast through the walls, let alone wooden ships. If you're willing to help, I'll give you thirty bed crossbows! ”

"Send?" Ren Tianxing's eyes rolled, and he smiled: "Let's buy it!" But I want to see the goods, I don't want it! ”

In the afternoon of the same day, Ye Hua asked Ren Tianxing to take him to the shooting range, and when he came back, this One Piece King was completely drooping, he was really convinced, and even a little lucky.

Fortunately, Lao Tzu was smart and came to join Ye Hua, otherwise he would have killed them with the artifact in Ye Hua's hand, just like playing. Find you with a compass first, then use the bed crossbow to blast, no one can escape!

But at this moment, Ren Tianxing smiled, because the unlucky people became Wu Yue and Nantang! You want to clean up Lao Tzu, and Lao Tzu will let you kick you to the iron plate!

Ren Tianxing quickly sent a message to his subordinates, transferred the strongest warship, put the bed crossbow on the ship for testing, three days passed, thirty bed crossbows were all installed, Ren Tianxing stood at the bow of the ship, laughed loudly, that is called a proud one, it is completely an artifact in hand, the appearance of the world.

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

After finishing speaking, Ren Tianxing and his subordinates left Haizhou, bypassed the coast controlled by the Southern Tang Dynasty, and went directly to Jinghai, which is located north of the mouth of the Yangtze River.

After sending Ren Tianxing away, Ye Hua estimated that he still couldn't deal with the two countries just by relying on a group of pirates, so Da Zhou had to take action.

There is no need to fight, as long as 10,000 people are mobilized, they will go south from Yancheng and go straight to Xinghua and Taizhou.

It just happens to be able to connect with the pirates of the Silent Sea, echoing each other from afar.

Ye Hua is quite confident, don't care how Li Hongji shows his teeth and claws, let him confront Da Zhou head-on, he doesn't have the courage yet.

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

Ye Hua called Li Yu, and when he was comfortable, the literati were useful, Ye Hua found two bamboo boards very perfunctorily, gave Li Yu as a musical instrument, and asked him to sing and sing.

Li Yu understands some of Ye Hua's bad taste, he likes to ravage and torture, and let others do things that violate their conscience, such as Li Xianggong was forced to mint counterfeit coins, and he was like this, he was made to be a ghost or a ghost, not to mention becoming an embroidered messenger, but also to act as a singing actor, it is really too bullying!

However, Li Yu also knows that it is useless to confront Ye Hua, the more fierce you fight, even at the cost of forcing each other to the death, Ye Hua can always find more ways to make you submit.

still take Li Gu as an example, not 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 has his own plans, he sang two verses to Ye Hua, and asked casually: "Master Hou, everyone in the world likes money, but I think that gold weighs on my hands, silver is stupid and white, copper coins stink, and I can't eat or drink, what's the use?" ”

Ye Hua smiled and said, "Li Yu, what do you think power is?" ”

"This ...... I do not know! ”

"Power is the ability for me to force you to do things you don't like, like sing me songs without paying."

Li Yu frowned and thought about it, and followed Ye Hua's words, "If you pay the reward, it will be a deal that you are willing to make?" ”

"That's right!"

Ye Hua said: "Power is to force you to do things, and money is to make you do things willingly...... In short, it's all about doing things, so money is also a kind of power...... Just as profit is the interest of commodities, interest is the profit of money, money is power, power is money, the inheritance of money, and the transmission of power from one generation to the next are the root causes of injustice......"

Ye Hua stopped his mouth in time and didn't continue, but these were enough to make Li Yu feel upside down!

These are the words, which are worth just two paragraphs, uh no, ten paragraphs!

What does it mean to listen to your words, it is better than reading 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.

"Master Hou, the next official has come to see you." The person who spoke was none other than Lu Duoxun, the third envoy, this guy was not in the capital, so he had nothing to do and went to Chuzhou to make a fuss?

"Master Hou, that's the case, I heard that you are going to attack Wu Yue's treasury silver?"

Ye Hua sat up with his arm support, and said in a deep voice: "Lu Xianggong, you just manage the money for the imperial court, why do you care about these things?" ”

Lu Duoxun smiled, "Hou Ye, that's the case, this year's autumn harvest is a certain bumper yield, in order to prevent the grain from hurting the peasants, I gave His Majesty a note, to let Chang Ping buy the people's grain, one is to maintain the stability of grain prices, and the other is to enrich the treasury, what does Hou Ye think?" ”

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

Lu Duoxun showed a look of embarrassment, "Master Hou, you also know that the treasury is not rich, and there is a lack of cash, our territory in the Great Zhou, especially in Kaifeng, there is a slight shortage of money, those Buddha statues have been cast with copper coins, but it is still not enough, I just became the third envoy, I don't know how expensive firewood and rice are not at home, one word: it's really difficult!" ”

He chattered and kept talking, Ye Hua suddenly leaned over and forced his eyes on Lu Duoxun, "I said Lu Xianggong, let's put it simply, are you eyeing this money?" ”

"That's right!" Lu Duoxun's face was slightly red, "I don't hide it from Hou Ye, I am going to use this silver as a reserve, issue some silver coins, and survive the difficulties in autumn and winter, Hou Ye, Xia Guan has always been clear about Hou Ye's heart and bearing, and I have to ask Hou Ye for this matter!" ”

"Wait!"

Ye Hua stopped Lu Duoxun, "When did I promise you?" ”

"Master Hou, this is a good thing for the benefit of the country and the people?" Ludosun exclaimed.

"You are doing things that benefit the country and the people, and I pass through the southeast and develop the water division, is it harming the people?" Ye Hua's voice raised an octave and asked, "The main force of this robbery is Ren Tianxing, who got the money and didn't give it to them, is it reasonable?" How do you let me recruit them, how can I win them? ”

Being questioned continuously by Ye Hua, Lu Duoxun suddenly grinned, "Master Hou, I have already thought about it." As he spoke, he asked someone to bring a box, and when he opened it, it was full of officials and letters.

"Master Hou, these are all blanks, just fill in the name. Ren Tianxing and the others are just water thieves, if they become officials of the Great Zhou, but the ancestral tomb is smoking, they will definitely be willing! ”

"Phew!"

Before Lu Duosun could finish speaking, he was smacked by Ye Hua.

Grandma, are all the thieves in the world as stupid as Song Jiang? For the sake of a black yarn hat, he forced his brothers to die, when Ye Hua first watched the Water Margin, he couldn't figure it out, the people of Liangshan defeated the Liao Kingdom, and they didn't lose a single one, how could they conquer Fang La, and they died so much? Later, Ye Hua figured it out, his grandmother's, if she didn't die so much, how could the court dare to seal the official? Song Jiang also figured it out, so he worked hard and consumed all his brothers, and he returned home!

Ren Tianxing is not a thief like Song Jiang, he doesn't plan to completely take refuge in Da Zhou now, Ye Hua said sharply: "Lu Xianggong, you can do whatever you want, just don't fight the idea of this money!" ”

Lu Duosun pondered for a moment and said with a wry smile: "Master Hou, if I had another way, I wouldn't come!" ”
