Jiubian recruits troops every year and fights every year. How much food and grass are consumed in a day?

Horses, armor, weapons, elixirs... even if you have mountains of gold and silver, it's all for nothing.

The imperial court alone could not support it, so Tongbao Bank was established.

Although Yujiazhuang's business is not as big as Mr. Luo's, it still has a lot of interactions with the border.

Some news may be heard earlier than the people of Qianhu."

Butler Lan bowed his head and said.

"What exactly do you want to say?"

Meng Changhe put aside his contempt. He had never taken the other party seriously in the past and only wanted to seize the good business of Yujiazhuang in Wannian County.

Now after a long conversation, I have to look up to this person.

"Let me put it more bluntly, Jiubian is eroding.

Shuofeng Pass after Governor Tan Wenying left, the Juman City in Liaodong...

Except for Zhaoyao Mountain in Zongpingnan, many military towns have begun to live on empty pay.

Killing good people and taking credit for their merits is not uncommon.

If the saint does not come to court, he will last for another three years at most.

Each prefecture, state, and border will have different thoughts.

The prince cannot be suppressed, there are three princes under him, they are three hidden dragons, destined to compete for the throne!"

Butler Lan’s every word is like a sharp sword.

"Master Qianhu, it's useless for you to follow the rules of Black Dragon Terrace. If the saint doesn't come out of seclusion, Governor Ying won't be able to come back.

It is better to find a way out early and choose a good leader."

The burning murderous intention in Meng Changhe's chest suddenly dissipated. He clenched his knuckles, thought carefully, and felt that it made sense.

Whether it is the crown prince ascending to the throne, or the vassal king succeeding in seizing the legitimate son.

Nothing is possible without the support of one person.

Duke Liang!

"You are right, the advantages of clinging to the Duke outweigh the disadvantages.

Only by killing Ji Yuan can we avoid future troubles forever.

The more popular this mud-legged guy is and the greater his future, the more disadvantageous it will be to me!"

Meng Changhe breathed a sigh of relief. The Duke's Mansion is like a towering tree. Only by hugging it can you climb higher.

Maybe he can also use this to get rid of the Jin Dao Yan Mansion and get rid of his...father-in-law.

"Butler Lan, why are you wasting so much time talking?"

Meng Changhe asked calmly.

This man can serve as a servant and become the steward of Yujiazhuang, the largest wealthy family in Wannian County.

And then to take over the power, it is not a wasted reputation, but indeed has some means and insight.

"My nephew was promoted by Mr. Qianhu and became a hundred households. I am very grateful."

Butler Lan had a smile on his face, lowered his posture, and said in a low voice:

"Recently, there is indeed something that needs to be asked of Mr. Qianhu.

In addition to the dyeing shop and cloth shop, Yujiazhuang also has a medicinal herb business.

We often purchase goods from outside Shuofeng Pass. Although the land outside of Huawai is bitterly cold, various exotic flowers and plants also grow..."

Meng Changhe felt relieved, frowned and said:

"Your goods were impounded?"

Butler Lan smiled bitterly:

"A batch of red copper, heavy iron worth three hundred thousand taels, as well as arowana and seven-leaf mushrooms used to refine great elixirs... are all being held at Shuofeng Pass.

Those damn alien barbarians went crazy for some reason and rushed through the barrier!

It makes me unable to get off the tiger and unable to turn around."

Meng Changhe's eyelids twitched and he refused directly:

"Citizens from other countries invade the border. This is a major military and national matter. I can't help you."

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince convened the cabinet and held nine small court meetings in three days.

It’s for Shuofeng Pass!

If you get involved at this time, you are seeking death!

"Master Qianhu, please save me!

Three hundred thousand taels, if the goods are gone and the capital cannot be recovered, Yujiazhuang will also collapse!

Besides..."

Butler Lan paused for a moment, looking like a dagger, and said:

"In order to avoid being exploited by the sergeants, I flew the flag of Beiya! I used my nephew's token and the name of Mr. Qianhu!"

Meng Changhe stood up suddenly, and his five fingers that were originally loosened stretched out like electricity, shaking the flower hall.

"Lan Laoer, you are so brave, you dare to use the name of the imperial court!

Want to kill me? I will kill you first!"

He grabbed Butler Lan's neck and lifted it up. With just a little force, he could unscrew the head.

"Meng Qianhu, please calm down and spare my uncle once!"

The young man in Feiyu uniform knelt down and begged.

"Lan Lao Er, how do you want to defend yourself?"

Meng Changhe really couldn't help but feel the murderous intention.

No matter how leaderless Black Dragon Terrace is.

The two commanders of the North and South Yamen will always take care of some things.

Once any clues are found, they will be sent to jail!

"One hundred and fifty thousand taels of silver! A blood-transforming pill!

Buy my life, and also buy Yujiazhuang’s life!”

Butler Lan's face turned red from holding it in, and he was almost strangled to death, so he spoke with difficulty.

"It seems you were really pushed into a hurry."

Meng Changhe was originally like a ferocious tiger that chooses people to devour, but after hearing the price given by Butler Lan, his eyes flickered, and then he loosened his fingers and threw him away.

"If this business fails, you will be held accountable by Yujiazhuang and you will not be able to save your life.

After losing three hundred thousand taels of silver, Yujiazhuang's vitality was severely damaged and it began to decline.

Okay, I’ll show my kindness for a moment, but after it’s done, I want this number.”

Two fingers!

That’s two hundred thousand taels!

"Master Qianhu, the lion opens his mouth..."

Butler Lan rolled out of the flower hall and barely stood up, as if he still wanted to bargain.

"Money or life, it's your choice."

Meng Changhe leaned back into his seat again, feeling a sense of satisfaction at having great power.

"Okay! I am willing to establish a written document!"

Butler Lan lowered his head and thought for a long time, and finally said harshly.

"Smart people do smart things.

No matter how much money you have, you won’t be able to enjoy it if your life is gone.

Don’t worry, I will send an official document saying that there are spies from Beiya in your caravan and ask Shuofeng Pass to let them leave.”

Meng Changhe laughed loudly and relaxed.

There are really good things going on tonight. First, the Duke of Liang wants to take action against Ji Yuan.

Then he earned two hundred thousand taels for free, plus a blood-transforming pill!

With this money, why can't you worry about breaking through the realm?

"Thank you... Mr. Chihu."
