That night, Prince Zheng, the uncle of Wang, was the east.

In addition to Fulin, there are also Yue Le, the prince of An County, who is proud of his youth, and there are still only a few people.

After three rounds of wine, five flavors of dishes.

Jirgalang asked for tea and took a break.

"Your Majesty, your Majesty insists on building a new army of 100,000, and he will be unable to stop him. Instead of disobeying and causing the emperor to be angry, it is better to follow the flow and consolidate the imperial power... What do you think of?"

Fan Wencheng said worriedly: "The court suddenly lost Yangzhou, Huai'an and other places to pay heavy taxes, which made the financial resources that were originally short of money. How easy was it to build a 100,000 army when it was short of money?"

Hong Chengchou said expressionlessly: "Silver is second. What Hong is most worried about is that more than half of the money for building a new army of 100,000 will go to Hangzhou Prefecture in the end... Uncle, sir, the emperor may not know it, but we must understand one thing in our hearts: silver can be made, but we cannot ruin the pot of our meal."

Chen Mingxia remained silent.

Qian Qianyi nodded and said, "What Grand Secretary Hong said is that peace talks between the two countries are about balance and confrontation. To lose all our dynasty, to support the enemy, is no different from seeking death... Others don't know, but we know that the connection between Shanxi merchants led by the eight imperial merchants and the south has almost reached an unscrupulous level..."

Chen Mingxia frowned and retorted at Qian Qianyi: "As far as Chen knows, Lord Qian has invested a lot in the Jiangnan Chamber of Commerce, right?"

Qian Qianyi said calmly: "Qian does not deny his investment in the Jiangnan Chamber of Commerce... But it is not a secret that Lord Chen and Tang Ruowang and Wei Kuangguo secretly colluded to use muskets and cannons to fill military weapons surveillance with red firearms, right?"

The two of them made Jirgalang, Fan Wencheng and Hong Chengchou look ashen.

Hong Chengchou said sternly: "The country is in danger and the government is ineffective. You two are still biting each other... Do you want to have an internal strife?"

Fan Wencheng also said: "It's all grasshoppers tied to a rope. You can't run away or you can't run away... We have to think clearly. If the Qing Dynasty really falls, no one can fall into it!"

Jirgalang suddenly raised his head and beat him up, "My Lords, we have to decide one thing first, that is, how to organize the 100,000 new army, and where does the insufficient silver come from? According to the emperor's intention, if you really want to confiscate all the property of the official family, it will inevitably cause turmoil and will also cause you and me to fall into the world's criticism... According to my king's wishes, choose a few ignorant responses... that's it."

Fan Wencheng said: "Fan agrees."

Hong Chengchou thought for a while and said, "I agree too."

Qian Qianyi glared at Chen Mingxia and said, "What Uncle Wang said is very true."

Chen Mingxia glared at Qian Qianyi and asked, "What the king said about choosing a few ignorant responses... How should I choose? According to Chen's opinion, Guangdong General Li Chengdong raised his troops and respected himself, colluded with court officials, and was aware of the intention of rebellion. If such a rebellious minister is not punished, how can he convince the people and how can he inspire the soldiers of Fujian and Guangdong?"

Jiergalang narrowed his eyes and looked at Chen Mingxia, then turned his head to scan Hong, and Fan and the others glanced at him, "What do you think of the two great scholars?"

Hong Chengchou's eyes flashed and said, "What Lord Chen said is reasonable, but... Li Chengdong is far away in Guangdong. In the past, he just listened to the tune but not the propaganda. How easy is it to punish him?"

Fan Wencheng suddenly smiled and said, "It's not impossible?"

Hong Chengchou immediately supported the actor and said, "Do you dare to ask Mr. Fan what good ideas do you have?"

"In the battle of Changting, the Western Army's attack on Tingzhou has been delayed by Jinhua Guards. Why not order Li Chengdong to go to Fuzhou and send a message to Wu Zheng, and the Jinhua Guards detain Li Chengdong and then transfer it to the capital to kill the chicken to warn the monkey!"

"This..." Hong Chengchou pondered, "But after all, the enemy chief Li Dingguo sent his daughter to Hangzhou Prefecture, and Wu Zheng might not be willing to do so?"

Fan Wencheng said sneered: "My Mr. Hengjiu, don't forget that Jinhua Guard has fought fiercely with the Daxi Army in Changting... Besides, the emperor wants to build a 100,000 new army, so the muskets and cannons must not be purchased from him? This is not a small amount! In exchange for seizing Li Chengdong, it is just a mere effort."

Hong Chengchou thought for a while and said, "But didn't you just say that this is to support the enemy?"

Fan Wencheng laughed, "I wonder Mr. Hengjiu, when the battle of the East Fan sea, the francavity of the French army did not take any advantage. Instead, Wu Zheng recruited the Zheng family navy. How could the emperor's 100,000 new army be supplied by the Hongfan in the short term?"

After hearing this, Hong Chengchou was stunned.

Fan Wencheng continued: "Since the emperor has decided to build a new army, even if he knows that he has to do it... Fan is worried at this time that Wu Zheng should be able to guess this, and it is not clear that the price is on the ground."

These words silenced everyone.

Qian Qianyi suddenly said, "Why... the wool comes out of the sheep and starts at the Jiangnan Chamber of Commerce?"

As soon as these words were spoken, even Jirgalang shook his head and said repeatedly: "It's not appropriate, it's not appropriate..."

Fan Wencheng and Hong Chengchou said with a gloomy face: "Where is this Xiang Zhuang Jian, Lord Qian?"

This is not a joke. You must know that, not to mention Fan Wencheng, Hong Chengchou each invested two or three million shares in the Jiangnan Chamber of Commerce. Just like Jiergalang, he bet five million taels at the Jiangnan Chamber of Commerce.

When the two dynasties are fighting, they will still make money, and this is the current situation.

How could Qian Qianyi touch this brow? He himself had 300,000 yuan. Seeing that several people misunderstood his meaning, Qian Qianyi hurriedly explained: "King Uncle, the officials misunderstood. Qian said, "What Qian meant was to check the collusion between the eight royal merchants and the south side when rectifying the Jiangnan Chamber of Commerce..."

"Absurd!" Chen Mingxia, who had been silent, spoke out, "The Shanxi merchants have always had the act of subsidizing the court, and now the court has signed a peace agreement with the Jianxin Dynasty, and trade transactions are not illegal... I dare to ask Lord Qian, what is the name for verifying the eight imperial merchants and convicting them?"

Qian Qianyi said calmly: "The court and Jianxin Dynasty signed a peace agreement, but the ban on ore and other raw materials has never been removed... What's wrong with this verification?"

As soon as these words were spoken, Chen Mingxia was speechless.

Indeed, in the Second Battle of Jiangbei, Dorgon did issue a ban on trade. As the situation reversed, the two sides quit. Although commerce had returned to normal, in fact, the ban on the court had not been removed.

The reason is that this ban was resisted by merchants from the beginning, especially the Shanxi merchants, who gathered crowds outside the imperial city gate to petition.

At that time, even Dorgon could not withstand this pressure and had to go south early to launch an attack. As a result, his ban was destroyed in name only.

Therefore, by the time of peace talks between the two dynasties, this ban was long gone and was not included in the negotiations at all. Moreover, the daily needs of grain, silk, etc. in the north must be transported from Yangzhou, Huaian and other prefectures, especially the fresh items such as guns and cannons and the "Han robes" of the Jiangnan Weaving Department, which are urgently needed by the north, so there is no blockade.

But facts belong to facts and bans belong to bans. If you really want to take them seriously, it is just like Qian Qianyi said, with names to follow.

Jirgalang glanced at Hong and Fan and the others, "What do you think of the two great scholars?"

Hong and Fan looked at each other and said in unison: "This plan... may be a try."
