Who is Liu Han, Xiao Yu knows very well in his heart, the grandmaster cultivates, although he has never fought against him, he can feel that Xiao Yu is not sure to defeat him, he is still the master of the Hanhai Trading Company, with hundreds of millions of wealth, and his subordinates are full of talents, Xiao Yu has seen several of them, their cultivation is quite extraordinary, the Liu Tie who fought with him, his cultivation is only one level lower than him, he should be at the peak of the martial arts, and it is almost a chance to break through the threshold.

Such a person actually entered the forbidden army, and it was only a small team, not to mention the current Xiao Yu, even seven or eight years ago, he Xiao Yu would not look down on such a petty official.

In the minds of the warriors, if you want to enter the army, the first choice is the vassal king's guard or the tiger guard, and then the border army, the former is the imperial court high-ranking official guard, a little recommendation, it will be immediately reused; the tiger guard is famous, the people in the rivers and lakes are frightened, and the border army is a place to throw blood and make meritorious contributions, as for the forbidden army, although it is not bad, but it is the soldiers who guard the gate, although they guard the inner city and the palace city, but still can not escape the fate of the gate; the forbidden army is already like this, the city guard is not in the scope of consideration at all.

However, this is not within the choice of the grandmaster or martial artist, especially the grandmaster, the major scholar clans, competing for the network, joining those families, at least it is also the treatment of the guest secretary, compared to the family of the concubine, even if you do not join the family of the gate lord, entering the imperial court is at least a school captain to start, to be a guest in the tiger guard, compared to the forbidden army, I don't know how many times higher.

"What does this guy want to do?" Xiao Yu looked at Reina with a wry smile, Reina also frowned, he had never seen Liu Han, but he was not a stranger to Liu Han, Liu Han's think tank Lao Huang was their old acquaintance, when they were in the palace of Shaoyang County, Lao Huang revealed a lot of information about Liu Han to them, including the current scale of Hanhai Trading Company, Liu Han's cultivation, and Liu Han's cultivation, etc., although Xiao Yu and Reina could feel that Lao Huang did not tell them anything more in-depth, but this was enough for Xiao Yu to decide to cooperate with Liu Han to drive away the Cao Gang, it turned out that Lao Huang did not lie to them, Liu Han did not even go out in person, only sent a Liu Tie was enough to shock him。

Reina also smiled bitterly, Xiao Yu was worried that Liu Han would meddle in the underground world of the imperial capital, but Lao Huang told them with certainty that Liu Han was not interested in these, but he definitely wanted a piece of the Caoyun waterway, and it turned out again afterwards that Lao Huang also did not lie to them, Liu Han had no interest in what casino Qinglou, and he was not much interested in Caoyun, but he was only interested in the waterway, and asked for a piece of the pie, Xiao Yu naturally had no reason to disallow it.

"What else?" Xiao Yu couldn't figure it out, so he didn't think about it anymore, and when he saw Liu Han and asked him again in the future, he asked Shao Kuang again.

"There are several movements in the imperial court," Speaking of this, Shao Kuang frowned slightly, as if he couldn't make up his mind about the situation in the imperial court, Xiao Yu and Reina did not urge, but waited patiently, hesitated for a moment, Shao Kuang said: "The imperial court issued an order to let Ju Yu and Gu Wei go to Yangzhou to check the salt tax and reform the salt political system." After Gu Wei left, the king of Yanping County served as the branch of Cao Shangshu, and the king of Zhao entered Beijing, I estimate that the king of Zhao will replace the Yanping military account to control the clan. ”

Reina and Xiao Yu's expressions became solemn, this change was beyond their expectations, to say that the difference between Fengyulou and other underground gangs in the imperial capital is that his core class is a group of former officials, so they pay more attention to the changes in the court situation, and they are more or less supported by the government in the process of development.

"Investigate the salt tax and reform the salt administration system. Reina picked up the dossier, which also contained the full text of the transcribed holy decree, obviously Shao Kuang also attached great importance to this change, so he copied all the holy decrees, which shows that this holy decree is a clear holy decree, and everyone in the Great Jin Dynasty knows it.

"I'm afraid the focus is on the latter sentence, reforming the salt administration. Shao Kuang studied the holy decree, so he directly said his judgment: "Now the salt administration is a monopoly of the imperial court, if you want to change it, you can only let it go, the imperial court gives up the franchise, help the master, now our waterway, now it is a golden waterway." ”

"No," Reina shook his head and said: "Even if the imperial court liberalizes the salt administration and allows private operation, there will not be too many salt ships, most of the imperial capital eats salt from Hedong, and the salt in Jiangnan is mainly in Yangzhou Jingzhou, Yuzhou, Qingzhou's salt works have suffered great losses in the past few years, and the output is relatively low, even if the local area cannot be satisfied, Yangzhou's salt will go to Xuzhou Qingzhou, and Youzhou and Jizhou have always been the salt of Bohai State, besides, there are still some salt fields in Bohai County. Therefore, the carrying capacity of this waterway is not very large. ”

Reina quickly analyzed the impact on the carrying capacity of the Grand Canal after the opening of the Salt Administration, Shao Kuang nodded after being silent, and then sighed: "We still need our own fleet, helper, can we go to Jiangnan to buy some boats?" Build it by yourself, the speed is too slow." ”

After the Cao Gang withdrew from Pengcheng, Xiao Yu began to prepare for the construction of his own fleet, according to the agreement, Liu Han wanted to pay 100,000 taels of silver, Fengyulou out of 100,000 taels of silver, and Luoma Shuizhai was out of 50,000 taels of silver.

This plan was proposed by Liu Han, Xiao Yu hesitated at first, Liu Han explained to him that the three parties are cooperative relations, and the actual contribution is the most Luoma Water Village, if the Cao Gang wants to counterattack in the future, Luoma Water Village is also the first line, so Luoma Water Village has undertaken the most important work, and it is fair to pay more dividends, and the tripartite cooperation can last for a long time, otherwise after a while, the three parties will have suspicions, and then civil strife will arise.

Xiao Yu reluctantly accepted this plan, He Dong was naturally happy, Liu Han and Xiao Yu quickly took out the silver, but the silver of the Luoma Water Village was not in place, this time Rena went to Pengcheng for a purpose is to collect money, Rena only knew after arriving in Pengcheng that there was not so much money in Luoma Shuizhai, He Dong loved face, and was embarrassed to bring it up, worried that it would affect the shares of Luoma Shuizhai.

Reina knew that he couldn't help but be happy, and gave him an idea, let him borrow money from Huitong Bank, and then calculated the account for He Dong, the annual profit of the fleet, how much is the interest of Huitong Bank, if you don't borrow money, but hire other boats in Luoma Lake, how much will it cost, and finally came to the conclusion that borrowing money is ninety percent cheaper, and He Dong made up his mind to borrow money from Huitong Bank.

Although He Dong's money has not arrived, but Fengyulou and Liu Han's money has already arrived, Xiao Yu is building ships in the shipbuilding workshop in the imperial capital, there is only one shipbuilding workshop in the imperial capital, and the best shipbuilding workshop in Dajin is in Wu County, Jiangnan, so the progress of this shipbuilding is very slow, and not even one has been built so far.

"Yes, the Wu family's shipyard is mainly for ship repair, and the ships built before are not big, so the ships we want are ,.。 Xiao Yu sighed, looked at Reina and asked, "Do you think you want to send someone to Jiangnan?"

Reina thought for a moment: "I'm afraid Fang Zhen won't allow us to get a boat so easily, well, I heard that Bohai County can also build ships, let He Dong go to Bohai County to have a look, they are begging for a living on the water, they should be more familiar with boats, so simply leave this matter to them." ”

"Liu Han suggested that the three of us form a boat line, and I think this strategy is very good. Shao Kuang said that Liu Han once suggested that the three parties set up a ship shop, Xiao Yu was worried that Liu Han would take the opportunity to infiltrate the ship line and then control the fleet, so he didn't agree, now it seems that it is necessary to set up a ship shop, and these trivial matters will be handed over to the ship company in the future.

"Who will do the ship?" Xiao Yu asked rhetorically, Reina frowned slightly, he knew that Xiao Yu wanted to control the fleet in his hands, but Liu Han also wanted to meddle in the fleet, but now there was no chance, Xiao Yu joined forces with the horse water village and quietly excluded him from the fleet, leaving him only the right to pay dividends.

Shao Kuang couldn't help but sigh, and Xiao Yu said again: "The fleet should be controlled in our hands, He Dong is okay to rob the road on the water, if you really want him to run the fleet, I don't worry." Liu Han, the fleet can't let him interfere, this guy is too shrewd and very good at winning people's hearts. ”

Reina was silent, Shao Kuang opened his mouth, but looking at the expressions of Xiao Yu and Reina, he knew that the two of them had made up their minds and would not give up the ship's shopkeeper to Liu Han.

But Fengyulou does not have a suitable shopkeeper, talking about bloodshed, Fengyulou can pick out a lot of them, but if you want to run a boat company, you can't find one in Fengyulou.

Reina Shao Kuang is a literati, although he knows some accounting, but when it comes to the way of management, neither of them knows much, let alone a shipping company.

"The lesser of two evils, let He Dong send people, what do you think?" Reina finally asked, Xiao Yu sighed: "Then it is better to let Liu Han faction, He Dong has a fallen horse water village, and the shipping will still need their protection in the future, if the shopkeeper is sent by him, it will become a fallen horse water village in a few days." ”

"Otherwise, let's go outside. Shao Kuang cautiously proposed, Xiao Yu's eyes lit up, Reina nodded, and reminded: "We also need to recruit some boatmen, and in addition, draw some people from the gang to learn how to drive a boat." ”

"Well, okay," Xiao Yu nodded immediately, condensed slightly, and then made up his mind: "Let Gao Yao, the water splitter, and Song Mu, the fast arrow, be in charge, and Gao Yao will be the master." ”

Reina nodded, Shao Kuang was still calm, Xiao Yu picked up the file and looked at it and threw it on the table, looked up at Shao Kuang and asked, "Is there anything else?"

"Yes," Shao Kuang replied without hesitation, "The city guards recruit people, I mean send some people in." ”

"City Guards, send someone in?" Xiao Yu frowned: "Brothers, I'm afraid you won't do it, you don't need it, besides, isn't there our brother in the forbidden army, I think it's better to forget it." ”

"No!" Reina immediately objected: "The city guard is in charge of the outer city, and our brothers will go in, which will be good for our business, and some things can be done with half the effort." ”

Xiao Yu frowned, thought about it and said, "Then you can arrange it, the seven stars and eight generals can't go, and the rest, you arrange, Brother Lei, I'm afraid the brothers in the gang don't want to." ”

Although the city guards are the troops of the imperial court, the salary is not high, only one-fifth of the forbidden army, which is worse than the wind and rain building, and it is not so strict.

"I know. Reina smiled reassuringly.
