Zheng Yuanxuan took the tea handed over by Cui Junsu and continued: "I don't know how your family is, although my Zheng family is a famous family, there are many people who have a big family and a big meal, not to mention, the juniors in each room and branch can't hold up tens of thousands of dollars in their monthly odd flowers and monthly cases." ”

"It's pretty much the same, my Cui clan is the same, the cost is huge." Boling's Cui Dunli smiled and agreed.

Zheng Yuanxuan turned his head to look at Cui Junsu: "Junsu, is the household rich?" ”

"You've always asked." Cui Junsu did not answer, although he is a member of the five surnames and seven hopes, these big officials have their own ethics, and it is impossible for outsiders to know the internal situation of the household department.

Zheng Yuanxuan said again: "Then the old man asked another question, can the expenses of the Northern Expedition be taken out in time." ”

Cui Junsu thought for a while and thought that this question was not taboo, so he replied: "No, not only can't, but also dare not move the treasury at all, this year's expenses for repairing rivers, tuntian, and canals are all large amounts." And early next year, the saint's New Year will begin, and there will be a big sacrifice, so this money must be kept enough. ”

"So, where did the money come from?"

"You've always asked, I've also thought about it, half of this money is supported by the Westport Shipping Division. Liu Mu was in a hurry to scrape together money and hurry to Lingnan because he was afraid that Lingnan would break off the gang, and the other half would ......" Cui Junsu himself suddenly laughed: "Admire, admire." ”

Zheng Yuanxuan is also an old courtier of the Four Dynasties, he didn't understand anything, and said at the moment: "It was made by Liu Juma empty-handed clouds and rain." But this hole can't be filled, and he doesn't need to use him to get these millions in Chang'an. ”

"Yes!" Cui Junsu nodded very seriously.

"The quota of the Donggang Shipping Division is 10 million, and there are the interests of our families in this Donggang Shipping Division, as well as the interests of the household department, and the royal ones, as well as his willow horses. Of course, we have to wait for this benefit to be distributed to us, and the old man estimated that Liu Juma wanted to help the saint raise enough money to destroy Jieli. ”

"This money, I, Qinghe Cui, am willing to wait."

"I, Zheng, am willing too."

The five surnames and seven hopes have expressed their stance that they can invest in Donggang to distribute profits later, and it is a good thing for everyone to destroy Jieli.

After all, they are all on the boat of Datang, and the destruction of Jieli represents the stability of the north, so Datang will be fine, and the wealthy families will also be good.

Zheng Yuanxuan is worthy of being a thousand-year-old fox, there are no more than ten people in Datang who can be sharper than him, and Liu Mu and the Tang Emperor were seen through by him in an instant, but this is a conspiracy, and he can't find a reason to hinder Liu Mu.

Talk on both sides.

Lingnan, Fanggang.

Twenty ships were full of coins, and the big ship docked at the port, and boxes and boxes of coins were slid from the ship to the dock, and then boxes and boxes were loaded and transported to Jiaozhou City.

Feng Ang stood on the dock with his hands behind his back and watched the coins go down, and he was surrounded by the patriarchs of several major clans in Lingnan.

Among them are also the patriarchs of the Gu and Miao tribes, and these people represent the power of Tusi.

The patriarch of the Yu clan took a deep breath: "Yue Guogong, you should go to Chang'an once, and enter Chang'an in the name of giving gifts to the new saint in the New Year." ”

"Yes, you should go." Feng Ang nodded slightly.

"There is a saying, I rely on the old to sell the old and say a word."

"You always have something to say." Feng Ang was very polite to these elders.

"This Xigang Shipping Division was originally called a business, but these things we do are not capable of being a business, conquering cities and enslaving the barbarians. The place we occupy is not only the territory of the ancient Jiaozhi County of the Han Dynasty, but also the place north of Funan and Zhenla, and we occupy as much as 700 miles. ”

Feng Ang also let out a long breath: "I'm also a little scared, this is a suspicion of ripping the ground." That's why I agreed with my brother Liu in the letter, and asked Quanzhou to consider the establishment again, and we should not stick to the place to the south of the Cham to prevent villains in the court. ”

"Not enough."

"What advice do you have?"

"This Xigang Shipping Division, from top to bottom, except for a few skilled craftsmen and a few chief accountants sent here by Liu Juma, are all from our Lingnan. I, this old guy, fought with the Central Plains before the Sui Dynasty established the country, and then fought with the former Sui, and I know you Han people, so when you go to Chang'an, you will say that we are not manpowered, and let Chang'an send troops and officials to us. ”

"This ......" Feng Ang hesitated a little.

The patriarch of the Gu clan said again: "Is this Xigang Bosi yours?" ”

"It's not." Feng Ang replied quickly.

"This is the Tang Emperor's, not to mention that we are contributing people and money. There is no emperor behind this, can we do it? Is it capable? Can you pile up a mountain of coins? ”

Feng Ang turned around and bowed: "Thank you for the teachings of the elders." ”

"It's a big deal." The patriarch of the Servant clan also hurriedly returned the salute.

Feng Ang said: "Whether the saint sends someone over or not, what you always said is right, we must have an attitude. ”

"That's it. Don't worry, that Liu Horse is not an ordinary person, he will not let the person who sends some people to make trouble, if he can come, he will be a cadre. ”

"Well, now that the coin has arrived, let's start moving immediately according to what we discussed."

"Okay, let's do it separately." As soon as the patriarch of the Gu clan spoke, everyone behind him hugged his fists and left immediately.

Feng Ang is not a cool official, so the Westport Shipping Division is very popular at the moment.

Even if it had already been calculated from Jiaozhou, it had gone west for 700 miles and occupied some of the border areas of Funan, but it did not cause a big backlash.

The benefits given to the local indigenous people are much better than the original life of the indigenous people.

Therefore, no one from Funan went to the palace to report.

Feng Ang returned to his yamen in Fanggang, he had not had time to rest, and there were still many official duties that he needed to personally approve.

Not long after, Feng Zhidai came in and put a list on Feng An's desk: "Father, we are in trouble. ”

"What kind of trouble." Feng Ang didn't look at the list, and continued to be busy with his official business.

Feng Zhidai said: "Ninety percent of the ships loaded this time are coins, and then some porcelain. I heard that there are still a batch of ships that will load some silk in several prefectures in the south of the Yangtze River, but it is my fault that I did not report our needs. ”

Feng Ang looked at the list at this time, the usual list was a thick book, but this time it was a simple two-page paper.

Coins are divided into standard money, steel money, and large money. The big money is a big copper coin weighing five coins, this kind of new money printed on the Zhenguan Tang money, although next year to the Zhenguan year, the year name has been set, and it is normal to print the new emperor's year name on the money.

There are only a few varieties of silk, and it is very easy to write and understand.

"Okay, what do we need?" Feng Ang put down the list and asked.

"The authors demanded that the first thing they received was grain, then cloth, and finally money. And they ask for money and demand that there is a place in the market where they can spend money, and our daily goods are in short supply, and the gap is only handed over to people here is fifty boats of goods. ”
