Chapter 300 Huitong Cabinet Shop, Sixteenth Generation Family
Suzhou, Huitong Cabinet.
The surprise in Li Xuan's eyes was quickly replaced by gloom.
In the memories of An Rongxiang and Wen Bingyan, the money model Tianyin Sect got from unknown sources was also stored in Suzhou.
Huitong Cabinet Shop in Suzhou.
"Captain!" Li Xuan stared at Liu Ji and asked seriously: "It was your own choice to store this money at Huitong Cabinet in Suzhou, or was it induced by someone?"
"Of course it's your own choice." Liu Ji raised his eyebrows slightly, looked at Li Xuan, and said seriously: "The prince may have just arrived in Wuyue not long ago, so he didn't know something. This Huitong Cabinet Shop was originally made by Suzhou merchants who imitated Shanxi merchants.
Every family of the 16th Wuyue family had a large amount of gold and silver stored in Huitong Cabinet. Therefore, the large and small aristocratic families, business houses, and even merchants from the north all had their storage in it. However, it was just like
Just as Wu Yue did not allow Shanxi merchant cabinet shops to enter, it is also difficult for Wu Yue cabinet shops to enter Shandong and Shanxi, let alone Guanxi."
Li Xuan nodded, local protectionism is very prevalent everywhere.
"I'm afraid all of the 16th Wuyue family are members of Huitong Cabinet, right?" Li Xuan suddenly spoke, and Liu Ji immediately replied: "That's true. In fact, it's not just the 16th Wuyue family, but also the kings of Yue and Cao, but they
It's all in name only, and the one who really controls these is actually in the palace."
"I see." Li Xuan suddenly understood why the money mold existed in Huitong Cabinet Shop in Suzhou and not elsewhere.
The 16th Wuyue family all participated in money-making affairs to varying degrees, but this was allowed by the palace, but everything had to be done under supervision.
This place is Suzhou and Huitong Cabinet.
"King Cao!" Li Xuan sighed in her heart.
This time, because when he arrived in the southeast, Li Ming, the governor of Suzhou, King Cao, was still in Luoyang, the sacred capital, so Li Xuan did not visit Suzhou.
On the other hand, he was also worried that someone would attack him in Suzhou, so he simply went straight from Changzhou to Hangzhou without stopping at other places in between.
Now that the background of Huitong Cabinet Shop has been exposed in front of Li Xuan, the origin of Qian Mo can generally be explained clearly.
…
"Then except for you personally, do other people in the Tianyin Sect also have deposits in Huitong Cabinet?" At this point, Li Xuan showed a hint of a meaningful smile on her lips: "What I mean is,
Is it the same personal money as you?"
"There must be some, but these are everyone's deepest secrets. You won't tell others at all, and I have no way of knowing." A wry smile appeared on Liu Ji's face.
Only he and his son Liu Ji in the entire Liu family knew about this last resort to save their lives, and no third person in the entire Tianyin Sect knew about it.
Of course, someone might guess something, just like Liu Ji guessed that others would do the same thing.
But as you may have guessed, it is not that easy to withdraw the money inside.
"Tell me about the procedure for withdrawing money?" Li Xuan sat down on the chair in the study and looked at Liu Ji calmly.
Liu Ji stood on the side, raised his hands to Li Xuan and said: "There are two types of deposits: explicit deposits and covert deposits. If deposited openly, the handling fee will be slightly lower, but the procedures are complicated, and some require not only tokens, but also hidden deposits.
Handwriting, password, and some people even request in advance that they must come in person to withdraw the money. In this way, a portrait is left in advance. If you deposit it secretly, the handling fee will be higher, but the procedure will be much simpler, and you do not need to be the person.
Come and pick it up, even if it is agreed in advance, no password or handwriting is required, just a token is enough."
Li Xuan nodded understandingly. The secret method was more secretive. The procedures for the shop seemed to be simplified, but the risks were greater.
These things are equivalent to bearer deposits for future generations.
As for what this thing can be used for, that's all something he knows very well.
"You should be keeping a secret deposit here, right?" Li Xuan looked sideways at Liu Ji and whispered: "There will be no chance that someone will withdraw the money and be unable to withdraw it, or that someone will be targeted as soon as he withdraws the money.
.”
Liu Ji hesitated for a moment, but still said sincerely: "The villain really wants to eliminate this possibility, but the prince knows in his heart that he can only rely on himself for this kind of thing."
"How much is it approximately?" Li Xuan asked very directly.
"It's not a lot, 50,000 guan in cash, as well as two big houses in Xuzhou and a hundred acres of land." Liu Ji handed over to Li Xuan and said in a deep voice: "I know that the prince does not like these things, but this is already a small thing.
All the private wealth that people can take out."
"Xuzhou, the captain really chose a good place!" Li Xuan took a deep look at Liu Ji, then waved her hand and said: "Put the things in the hands of the captain first. If your son can survive this time,
, it won’t be too late for the captain to hand it over to me. If something happens to my son, maybe the captain can take a chance and make meritorious service. If he goes to Xuzhou in the future, he may not be unable to continue his incense."
Li Xuan stood up, patted Liu Ji's shoulder hard, and then walked out of the door.
Outside the study, Qianniu Guards and Nanchang Prefecture Guards Lin San were standing. Li Xuan raised his head and looked in the direction of the stone castle, where the sounds of fighting and fighting had gradually stopped.
Li Xuan raised his head and looked at the sun. It was already approaching dusk, and before he knew it, the day had passed.
"Your Majesty!" Liu Ji's voice sounded behind Li Xuan. Li Xuan turned around, looked at Liu Ji and asked, "The captain has thought clearly!"
"I don't know!" Liu Ji looked a little sad and said to Li Xuan, "Please give me a few more days to think about it."
What to consider, of course, is to consider whether to completely fall out with the Tianyin Sect.
"Okay, I don't mind." Li Xuan said calmly: "In a few days, the captain will understand more clearly how desperate the Tianyin Sect's uprising is this time."
People like Liu Ji were not optimistic that the Tianyin Sect's uprising would succeed from the beginning, otherwise he would not have prepared a retreat in advance.
The reason why he persisted was because there was no other good way.
After all, more avenues have been occupied by all parties, so there are no opportunities left for him.
Now Li Xuan gave him another way, but Li Xuan only mentioned it casually without giving any clear guarantee, and Liu Ji also did not agree at all.
Because no matter what Liu Ji's final choice was, Liu Ji had to die.
…
Five trebuchets were parked at the entrance of the stone courtyard, and two huge manholes were placed high on the edge of the stone courtyard. Thick smoke kept rising from the stone houses deep in the stone courtyard, but no one rushed out.
.
"Have all the underground passages outside been blocked?" Li Xuan turned her head and looked at Qiu Zhenmu.
Qiu Zhenmu nodded immediately and said: "Everything has been blocked. I even sent people to fill it with water. They have no way to escape, so they are forced to come back here and hold on."
"It seems that you have learned all of my little tricks." Li Xuan looked at Qiu Zhenmu and Zhou Shen with some humor.
These two people had only been with him for a month or two, but they were deeply influenced by him, and they deeply remembered the essence of various asymmetric strikes in their hearts.
"We still lack a lot, and I hope the prince will give you more advice." Qiu Zhenmu and Zhou Shen both handed over to Li Xuan with sincere expressions.
Li Xuan waved her hands lightly and said with a smile: "It doesn't matter, as long as you follow me for one day, you can learn all the passages that I know."
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Qiu Zhenmu and Zhou Shen raised their hands to Li Xuan at the same time.
Although the command and combat capabilities of the two of them in the army are far superior to Li Xuan, they are not as good as Li Xuan in some battles under special circumstances.
Of course, Li Xuan also has his own shortcomings. If he is prepared in advance and makes targeted arrangements, he will be successful. However, he does not have much confidence in winning in a sudden encounter. At this time, he can only rely on Qiu Zhenmu.
and Zhou Shen.
…
"Why don't you, Your Majesty, try to recruit the believers inside? Maybe some of them are willing to surrender?" Liu Ji suddenly spoke at this time.
Li Xuan shook his head and said: "No need, I have tried it in Dongyang City before. Even if my parents were there, even if my family members turned against each other, only one or two people surrendered in the end. I have never done this.
What's more, some of them may not be willing to see others surrender."
"Your Majesty really has a thorough understanding of the Tianyin Sect, and I admire you." Liu Ji looked at Li Xuan and raised his hands with emotion.
The Tianyin Sect has very strict control over the internal belief in the Tianyin Goddess. The closer one is to the core of the sect, the more pious the belief in the Tianyin Goddess becomes.
Whether it is the Tianyin elite in Dongyang City or the people in Shiyuan now, they are all such people.
And the more people gather, the less likely they are to surrender.
After a long time, the smoke in the stone house gradually dissipated. Li Xuan waved his hand, and a large group of Qianniu Guards immediately jumped in from the wall.
Soon, someone among them came out again and raised their hands to Li Xuan: "Report to the prince, everyone inside is dead."
Li Xuan nodded and climbed over the wall without any hesitation.
At this time, there were already a pile of corpses lying on the ground in the stone courtyard.
Most of these people committed suicide, but a few had their throats directly swiped with a knife.
"It's still the old way. Regardless of whether there is a secret passage or not, flood it with water first, and if so, use poisonous smoke..." Li Xuan waved her hand and said, "It's all old work. You are more familiar with it than I am... Right
Okay, let's divide the copper coins in this stone village among our brothers. However, things like money orders and land deeds have to be handed over to the accounting office. It's not easy to deal with these things. We might as well hand them over to the state government. When the time comes, please ask me.
Prime Minister Gu County and Governor Wang rewarded the brothers with some land, and as for how to deal with this land, it is everyone's own business."
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Many Qianniu Guards present looked shocked at the same time.
They followed Li Xuan all the way from Luoyang to Wuzhou in order to make meritorious deeds and gain wealth.
When she was in Yangzhou and Hangzhou, Li Xuan couldn't get too many rewards, so she could only lead them to make meritorious deeds.
Now that we have arrived in Wuzhou, we naturally have to give them some care as much as possible as permitted by law.
After saying this, Li Xuan turned around fiercely and looked at Liu Ji: "Captain, do you think that when the news here reaches the state city, Wuzhou Hall Master Fang Yunxiu will come directly to kill him. After all, he is here now.
Dongyang and the stronghold of Shangxi Gold Mine."
Liu Ji looked shocked, and a look of horror immediately appeared on his face.
Is Li Xuan starting to plot against others again?
