With Lin Ke's death, the whole world instantly became turbulent.
Everyone has a premonition that a changing era is coming. The entire Kyushu saw the former imperial court, which seemed to have run out of energy.
Xinyuan Kingdom welcomed an extremely mysterious person today.
No one thought that this person would appear here.
Du Taiping!
In the secret room, Jiang Tianzi bowed and shouted respectfully: "Teacher."
Du Taiping was his teacher, something few people knew. Jiang Tianqi was once just a small bureaucrat, but later he became a disciple of Du Taiping, and then he was able to rise through the ranks, and finally became a feudal official and the governor of Beizhou.
Du Taiping's vision of taking a long-term view to catch the big fish has never been bad. He accumulates strength at the most appropriate time and rebels at the most appropriate time. Everything is at the right time.
This Beizhou was originally just Du Taiping's second-hand preparation. The first-hand preparation was to assist Xun Shitian in ascending to the throne, then manipulate Xun Shitian to become the son-emperor, and finally use cannibalization to gradually replace him and reduce risks. That's why there are all princelings in the court, but Du Taiping is the only one who wants to protect the eighth prince. Is it really a potential stock? no.
He just firmly believes that the world will eventually have a surname of Du.
But Xun Shitian didn't live up to expectations. He didn't expect that his life was so short, and he died young due to Li Zhendao. That's why Du Taiping completely broke out his second-hand preparations and the Beizhou Rebellion after Xun Shizhen died.
Du Taiping sat on the chair and reprimanded: "Why are you so stupid? Li Zhen said everywhere that he actually took away ten tons of gold in a trade. I have accumulated so many years of strength, He actually emptied more than half of his money in one go."
Jiang Tianqi sighed: "Teacher, I really underestimated Li Zhen's strength."
"Oh, it's too late to say anything now. I didn't expect that he would end up without a single soldier and cause our Xinyuan Kingdom such heavy losses. The remedy plan was quite timely and was agreed upon in time. Although it was Ten tons of gold were lost, but in the end he was not allowed to destroy the foundation of the New Yuan Kingdom."
Du Taiping also had a deep look of worry in his eyes. I really underestimated Li Zhen.
The young champion who was so angry on Ba Bridge that he beheaded his sister-in-law has now grown to such an extent. If I had known earlier, I shouldn't have kept him in the first place and shouldn't have worried so much. We should have tried our best to kill him in the first place instead of driving him out of Balong City.
It's useless to say anything about regret now. Du Taiping is definitely a qualified politician. He will not delay his great ambition for the sake of the love of his children and his own personal relationship.
"The top priority now is no longer Li Zhen."
"Students know that it is the Wang San Sword Club."
"What is the Wang San Dao Department? How do you do intelligence work?"
Du Taiping sighed: "Where did Wang Sandao come from so much energy? It's the Taiping Group. This Xun Shifei is so scheming. Even I only knew about the existence of the Taiping Group last week. He traveled to Kyushu , I just thought he was making friends with grassroots officials, who would have thought. Traveling was a surface job, which made us all think that he was secretly making friends with grassroots officials, but in fact, making friends with grassroots officials was also a surface job, and what he was really doing secretly was Organize a Taiping Regiment. What’s wrong with this world? Even the prince has been plotting rebellion for so long.”
Du Taiping wished he could hang his head and stand firm. He originally thought that he had hidden deep enough and secretly planned a rebellion.
But who would have thought, what a coincidence. The prince was also planning a rebellion.
Everyone thought that the prince was just fighting in politics and racking his brains to ascend the throne. Who would have thought that what he planned was not to ascend the throne but to rebel.
Everyone met and went together, what else could Du Taiping say? I'm just full of bitterness, I was born at the wrong time...
Originally, it was a sure thing that he would change his government, but he met so many colleagues. And Li Zhen from Dongzhou is also a country of his own. What's going on in this world
Du Taiping really wanted to scold his mother. If I had missed these two young people for more than ten years in the morning, my rebellion would have been successful. How could he be born at such an untimely time
"Hey, Xiao Jiang, our top priority now is no longer to stabilize the Xinyuan Kingdom. I originally thought that there was only one Wang Sandao, so I wouldn't rush to fight for the world, let them fight first, and we would reap the benefits. But now look We can’t come because we don’t know how many back-ups the Taiping Regiment has or how powerful it is. Now that Lin Ke of the imperial court is dead, the imperial court has no ability to resist at all. This is not okay.”
Du Taiping looked up to the sky and sighed: "If it continues to be stable, Xun Shifei has completely defeated the imperial court and completely changed the world. Then there will only be a small area like Beizhou left in the entire Kyushu. By then, when Xun Shifei has stabilized the world, The Xinyuan Kingdom is at a loss for what to do."
"Now what?"
"beat!"
Du Taiping's eyes were fierce: "We have to fight too. While fighting, we must cooperate with the court and support the court at the critical moment. We cannot let the court be defeated so quickly. Only by standing on three pillars can we have a chance. If we are monolithic, The Xinyuan Kingdom may become the shortest-lived dynasty in the history of Kyushu. Expanding territory is now the top priority."
"Where to expand?"
"Knock down the neighboring Northeastern states first. Wang Sandao has occupied two states. We cannot fall behind. We must be impregnable. Although we don't know how powerful the Taiping Regiment is now, if we can have a little more strength, we can't miss it. .”
Jiang Tianqi lowered his feet and tapped his chest, almost crying: "I have no money. Now that the Xinyuan Kingdom has just been established, it already needs a lot of money. Li Zhen cut out a piece of our flesh with a knife, and we have no money to fight."
Du Taiping said solemnly: "I heard that Li Zhen wants to establish a money bank? Can he save money or borrow money? You and Li Zhen should discuss it and see if you can lend money to Xinyuan Kingdom."
Jiang Tianqi was completely impressed by his teacher's whimsical idea. Borrowing money to fight? A country borrows money from a group of businessmen to fight a war
Jiang Tianqi said: "This... is this a war, a loan?"
Du Taiping said solemnly: "Didn't the money bank he opened just mean that we can borrow money? We just borrow more. Why not? I want to see if Li Zhen dares to lend to me Xinyuan Kingdom .”
“…”
In Laoshan, Li Zhen almost laughed like crazy when he read the letter Jiang Tianqi wrote to him.
The seven members of the consortium, as well as Jia Liping and Ding Zhenzhen, the two current financial leaders, were all laughing.
"I'm laughing so hard. This is the first time in history. Borrowing money to fight a war."
"Hahaha, I don't know what Jiang Tianqi is thinking."
"This is urging us to quickly set up money banks and open them all over the Xinyuan Kingdom. It makes me laugh. We are planning when to open the money bank without alerting the Xinyuan Kingdom. He urged us to drive quickly."
"Sure enough, Master Li is right. The first most profitable job is printing money, and the second is making revolution."
"But, do you want to borrow it or not?"
“…”
Li Zhen smiled all over his face and waved his hand: "Borrow. Why not borrow? I am worried that the development of the money bank will be slow, and I have to slowly accumulate credibility. This Xinyuan Kingdom immediately sent it to us to make a hit. Why not borrow?" It’s okay to sell iron even if it’s broken.”
“…”
