Seeing Qiu Yuling's listening with relish, Lin Luoyao was a little helpless, but she was embarrassed to disturb her when she saw her appearance.

continued his analysis, "And after that, it is Tianyu Gongzi's family that is dominant, and Yong Wang Ye is conceited, although the Lianhua Club is quite powerful, but he only limited the main sphere of influence of the Lianhua Society to the northwest Guanzhong, this is not that Yong Wang Ye does not want to control the martial arts, but he does not have so much capital, because if the power of the Lianhua Club is expanded, it is equivalent to opening his mind, and all the Lianhua will be gathered in the Guanzhong, which is like clenching his fists." ”

"And the gun shot the first bird, King Yong himself is a prince who splits the territory and seals the territory, and he is not trusted by the emperor, if he is blatantly involved in the power of the rivers and lakes, then even if he is really as the legend says, he is the emperor's biological son, presumably the emperor will not tolerate him. ”

"And the same is true of the Tianying Society, in recent years, the Tianying Society has been in full swing, and the power alone has already surpassed the two families of the Lianhua Society and the Zhongzhou Alliance, and I have not been idle these days, in addition to making friends with those seniors and the sons and ladies of the family, I also inquired about the specific distribution of the three forces now. ”

"The main sphere of influence of the Zhongzhou League is the land of the Central Plains and Yanzhao, of course, the actual territory of control is only Zhongzhou. And the Zhongzhou League is not so carefree. Sister-in-law, do you know why the emperor wants to crown your brother-in-law as the Marquis of Bianliang?"

Qiu Yuling shook her head, but she tried to guess: "Is it because the power of the Zhongzhou League is mainly in Zhongzhou?

Lin Luoyao nodded and said, "Sister-in-law, you are only half right, and the other is generally the Zhongzhou League, which can share a lot of silver for the imperial court." ”

Qiu Yuling didn't quite understand, so she asked: "Silver? What kind of silver?" Although I heard my sister say that the Zhongzhou League has to pay a lot of tribute to the imperial court and officials every year, this is not a share. ”

Lin Luoyao said: "That's not what I'm talking about, the Yellow River has been flooded since ancient times, sister-in-law should know." ”

Qiu Yuling nodded and said: "I know this, as long as the Yellow River is flooded, many people will suffer." ”

Lin Luoyao said: "Yes, in all dynasties, the Yellow River is a headache, every year the imperial court takes out countless silver to dredge the river and build the Yellow River embankment, and the money of the imperial court is not inexhaustible, and there is not so much surplus money in the treasury. And repairing the ditches of the Yellow River is a large expense. ”

"It is impossible for the imperial court to ask the local people for silver directly, so won't the imperial court become a bandit, and the Zhongzhou League is different, the Jianghu forces have different status, they can use their own methods to collect money, and those squires and rich families are also willing to give the silver to these Jianghu forces for their own interests or some other things. So as to get certain benefits, such as just like our home. ”

"I heard my grandfather and father say that every year, my family pays millions of taels of silver to officials at all levels and the forces of the rivers and lakes, most of which are given to officials at all levels and the Tianying Society, the Zhongzhou League, the Three Sympathy Societies, and other forces in the rivers and lakes, because my family is in business, and the caravan needs to be escorted, and the escort caravan cannot rely on a few dart masters alone, it needs the cooperation of these rivers and lakes and even the government forces. ”

"Our family's caravan to the Western Regions will be harassed by bandits every time they go out of the customs or before they return, but after building a good relationship with silver, every time they arrive in my Ming Dynasty, King Yong will send elite cavalry soldiers to protect my family's caravan. On the waterway of the Yangtze River, some people from the 12 chain docks were needed to escort the boats. On the territory of the Jiangnan Tianying Society, the people of the Tianying Society are needed to escort them. ”

"In this way, the caravan will be safer, and my family will be able to make money every day. And most of the forces in the rivers and lakes of the alliance use this method to collect money. And the imperial court also took a fancy to this, so he named your brother-in-law the Marquis of Bianliang, because Kaifeng City is nominally your brother-in-law's fiefdom, and he also eats the food of 3,000 people in Kaifeng. This also saved the imperial court a big trouble. ”

This also greatly weakened the strength of the Zhongzhou League, simply put, the Zhongzhou League is like a lion, only give the lion a piece of meat every day, so that the lion can not starve to death, and the lion also has the strength to hurt people for the master. ”

"And Tianying will also be like this, because in recent years, Tianying will be in full swing, and it has also become a thorn in the side of the imperial court, and at this time, the imperial court needs the Zhongzhou League to balance the Tianying Society, but Tianyu Gongzi is even more slippery, he and Ben did not let the imperial court have this opportunity, I feel that he deliberately gave the position of the leader of the alliance to others, closed his door in Xizi Villa, and lost his blade to Zhu Yunchang. ”

"First, it's to protect Mingzhe's life, so that the court won't pay more attention to him, and secondly, he doesn't give the court this opportunity.net The third is the best place for him to make this move. ”

Speaking of this, Lin Luoyao suddenly sold Guanzi, Qiu Yuling was listening quietly and tastefully, where could he listen to half a sentence.

Qiu Yuling asked, "Sister-in-law, tell me quickly, what is this third?"

Lin Luoyao said: "Uh...... This ......" Lin Luoyao pointed to her shoulder, Qiu Yuling saw what she meant, so she smiled slightly, moved the wooden stool behind her, sat down by herself, and began to rub Lin Luoyao's shoulders.

Lin Luoyao enjoyed it very much, Qiu Yuling pinched her shoulders for her, there was such a beautiful woman waiting for her, there were no regrets in this life, but unfortunately, she was also a woman, if she was a man, she would definitely chase Qiu Yuling, a gentle and quiet girl. It is a great fortune to be able to marry such a wife.

Seeing that Qiu Yuling was so obedient, Lin Luoyao no longer sold Guanzi, so she said: "This third point is the best, Tianying will have three sisters-in-law, you should know." ”

Qiu Yuling rubbed Lin Luoyao's shoulders and said, "I know, I heard my sister say this, they are Brother Tianyu's Tianying Hall, Fang Alliance Lord's Qinglong Hall, and Martial Hall Master's Sihai Hall. Each of these three congregations has its own duties. ”

Lin Luoyao said: "Yes, but according to what I learned from the mouths of those seniors, the Tianying Three Halls are not as harmonious as they seem. These three halls are constantly fighting openly and secretly, but they are unanimous to the outside world. And Tianyu Gongzi gave up the position of the alliance leader to Fang Longxiao, just to get rid of Fang Longxiao with the hands of the imperial court. Even if you can't get rid of him, you can weaken him with the help of the court's hand. ”

"And if the Tianying Society suffers any losses in his hands, then it is the responsibility of him, the leader of the alliance, and he will lose his prestige in the eyes of the helmsman of the alliance. And Tianyu Gongzi happened to throw this nerve-wracking thing directly to Fang Longxiao. ”
