Looking at the woman's expectant eyes and the murderous eyes of the old Taoist priests and others, Qian Wuliang laughed dryly and said:

"Well, there is no place to go anyway when it snows, so I'll just talk about it. In fact, it's very simple. According to Zhao Qi, these seemingly priceless crystal treasures are not valuable. But last time I cheated the Lu family for 400,000 yuan, and this time I cheated Kublai Khan 100,000 taels of gold. This is a huge profit. The reason why Zhao Qi clearly demanded so much gold was to dig a hole for Kublai Khan..."

"You all know that Kublai Khan is just a prince of Mongolia, and he has always been suspicious of Mengge Khan and excluded by other Mongolian nobles. He definitely doesn't have 100,000 taels of gold, and he can't get it in a short time. Zhao Qi asked us to set a scam so big purpose to provoke the conflict between Kublai Khan and the Marquis of the Central Plains..."

"No, how can these golds be related to these kings of the north?" Qian Wuliang was interrupted by the fat man before he could finish his words.

Qian Wuliang did not answer, but the old Taoist priest twisted his beard and pondered for a while, his eyes suddenly lit up and said, "I understand. Zhao Qi's purpose is to ask Kublai Khan to ask these marquises for gold?"

Qian Wuliang nodded with a smile: "Blind, you are blind, you are not blind, right, Zhao Qi means that, Kublai Khan must not have 100,000 taels of gold in his hands, but these treasures are so effective, he has to carefully consider the consequences of not paying. In order not to face a disaster in the future, he will definitely borrow money from these marquis in the north. Although he has no military power, he is nominally the governor of the southern Mo. All the marquis of the Jin Kingdom are still under his jurisdiction. Therefore, it is inevitable to find these marquis to raise 100,000 taels of gold. This is not just a dull knife to cut off the body of these marquis. If you don't give it, you will be unwilling to let Kublai Khan write a promissory note to repay the money in the future. In other words, these marquis in the north will be implicated because of this scam. Take out 100,000 taels of gold to pay for Kublai Khan..."

"Brother Wuliang, what does it mean to pay the bill?" the young Taoist priest asked in surprise.

"This is Zhao Qi's words. Paying the bill is like paying after we eat in a restaurant. At the same table, people can only treat each other. If the guests pay, they are called paying the bill!" Qian Wuliang explained with a smile.

"What a weird statement, I've never heard of it!" The woman nodded with a strange expression.

"Haha, you haven't been with Zhao Qi often, otherwise you will have endless fresh words every day. Only after spending time with him can you understand many of his words. Although it is inexplicable, it is very fun, and some words are very comfortable to say!"

"For example, what you often say to me?" the old Taoist priest curled his lips.

"Yes, don't you think it's very comfortable to say something?" Qian Wuliang nodded proudly.

"Is there anything good about it? The ignorant local buns say such vulgar words. Can't you say something so refreshing?" The old Taoist priest rolled his eyes disdainfully.

"Damn, you are a local bun, you Taoist priests are all local buns!" Qian Wuliang rolled his eyes unwillingly.

"You monks are all native buns!" The old Taoist morale continued to roll his eyes in anger.

"You Taoist priests are all fools!"

"You monks are all melon skins!"

...

"Okay, OK, you two always have to argue a few times every day before you are happy. Since we are all together, don't be Taoist monks in the future!" The woman looked at Qian Wuliang affectionately while talking.

"How can that work?"

The old Taoist priest and Qian Wuliang rolled their eyes to each other and stopped quarreling. The previously tense and dull atmosphere in the dilapidated temple became much more relaxed and lively.

"Don't argue with you two. Wuliang will say more about Zhao Qi. I feel that listening to it will benefit a lot!" The fat man also spoke to smooth things over.

"That's right, Brother Wuliang continued to talk about how Zhao Qi dug a hole for Kublai Khan!" The young Taoist priest also urged.

"What else is there to say? It's the blind man who said that we want 100,000 taels of gold. Kublai Khan didn't. He would definitely find a way to raise it. The Mongolian nobles would definitely not lend it to him. He could only borrow and ask these marquises for the marquis, and these marquises had to give it. One hundred thousand taels of gold was not a 100,000 taels of gold in the Song Dynasty. They were all coffins that these marquis had finally accumulated. They were all real gold and silver, and they could not be faked at all, and they dared not be faked. They could only take it out obediently. This would inevitably lead to resentment. Whether it was Shihou or the people, whether it was Jin or Han, whether it was taken out in the Central Plains and the North, whether it was Shihou or the people, whether it was Jin or Han, whether it was Jin or Han.

People are dissatisfied with the Mongolians. Most of the ordinary people were dissatisfied with the past. But this time Kublai Khan used to make the family fortunes of these Marquis, which would inevitably arouse the dissatisfaction of Marquis. As far as I know, many Marquis have been ready to move, and have privately prepared food, grass and weapons, and recruited many soldiers and horses in secret. However, because Mongolia is powerful, they dare not raise a blatant rebellion. But if the Mongols are more oppressed, they cannot guarantee that they will not take action. Today, they will borrow 100,000 taels of gold, and next year, they may borrow 1 million taels of gold. As long as this head starts, anyone will feel frightened..."

"Not bad, Zhao Qi's method of provoking and discord is amazing. These northern marquises are fence-bearers. After the Jin Dynasty was weak, they all surrendered to the Mongols and saved their family status. Now that the family property is not guaranteed, these people will definitely not be too willing. If someone else provokes it, they might turn their backs!" The fat man's eyes lit up and his hands were smug.

"What a vicious series of strategies, the old Taoist really doesn't believe that this was something a fifteen-year-old boy came up with a casual idea!" The old Taoist looked at the fire with a strange expression and muttered to himself.

"This is nothing. If you know that Zhao Qi has a bigger plan, you will be surprised to be unable to sleep. Everyone knows the relationship between the Mongolians and the Northern Shihou. This time I followed him, not because I fell in love with the 10% profit he wanted to give me, but because there was another deal..." Qian Wuliang shook his head and said.

"Damn, Qian Wuliang, how much else do you have to hide from us?" The fat man jumped up and pointed at Qian Wuliang's nose and shouted.

"That's right, Qian Wuliang, you can't do this. We have been in the world together for more than ten years, and we can only survive with each other. Since you defected to Zhao Qi as a dog, why did you become like this? Not only did you fool us to deceive Kublai, but you also concealed so many things about us?" The old Taoist priest hummed in dissatisfaction.

"I don't care about Kublai Khan... Is it a matter of half a penny? Zhao Qi just said that after success, I asked me to do something, and I don't have half a penny to you, so why do you have to tell you?" Qian Wuliang curled his lips angrily.

"Anyway, we don't care. You have to tell Zhao Qi all the arrangements. You can't hide them at all, otherwise we won't do this deal!" The young Taoist priest grabbed Qian Wuliang's arm.

"That's right, we were fooled to hold our heads to deceive a Mongolian prince. He was leisurely eating meat, drinking and making money in Qingyuan Mansion to pick up girls. No matter whether this matter succeeded or not, he would not lose much. If he succeeded, he would get 50,000 taels of gold. If he failed, he would only have a few worthless crystal glass. I found that he was the real big liar!" The fat man waved his fist angrily.

The old Taoist priest also had a little dark face and twitched for a few times, "Qian Wuliang, you should talk about Zhao Qi's arrangements carefully. Whether it has anything to do with us or not, it will take after the scam will be successful in the end, right?"

Qian Wuliang was silent for a moment and nodded: "Yes, everything is based on the plan after cheating 100,000 taels of gold this time. That's what he said..."

Next, Qian Wuliang explained Zhao Qi's arrangement in detail.

Zhao Qi did not remind Qian Wuliang not to tell his companions about these words. Moreover, given his trust in Qian Wuliang and his last gift of several boxes of gold and silver worth 40,000 taels of silver to him, Zhao Qi was quite confident in the group of people Qian Wuliang found.

In Zhao Qi's view, although Qian Wuliang and the old Taoist priest are people from the world, they are not only loyal, but also honest and responsible, but also not greedy for money. These are excellent qualities that people in the officialdom and the shopping mall do not have, and they are worthy of making friends and winning over.

Therefore, he asked Qian Wuliang to go to the north to find a base and train a young orphan in his teenage years in training, so as to lay the foundation for developing his strength in the future. If these things are to be successful, at least Kublai Khan must succeed first. Everything is rich. Otherwise, he only has one Xiaolongwan project, which can't support the consumption of a musket force that supports hundreds or thousands of people. Other commercial transactions such as Debang freight and tea glass are just prototypes, and it will be at least two or three years later to make money.

But if you really cheat a lot of money from Kublai Khan and borrow the enemy's money to develop your own power, this is a real profit-free deal.

Zhao Qi believes that since Qian Wuliang and the old Taoist priests and others have a close relationship, they will sooner or later know these plans.

What's more, Zhao Qi also wanted to use Qian Wuliang to pull these people into the water and become his helper.

Everything is difficult at the beginning. No matter whether these people have hidden dangers or not, they have to do it slowly before they have a chance. Time does not wait for anyone. The life span of the Song Dynasty is only ten years, so he can't wait. The faster he develops his own power, the better. As for the danger after being leaked... it is naturally borne by Qian Wuliang and others. After all, Zhao Qi hid in the safest and richest Qingyuan Mansion in the Song Dynasty. Even if the Mongols knew that he was the mastermind behind the scenes, they would never have any way to deal with him. As for Qian Wuliang and others who were exposed, they could only be at their own destiny. If they didn't keep it steady, they would not blame others for their plans and arrangements.

Therefore, Qian Wuliang said or not said this, but Qian Wuliang himself.

I said that I naturally have to bear the consequences of five liang.

Not to mention, the money of five liang has to be alone to silently support the entire plan.

But it is obvious that Qian Wuliang has already considered to bring a group of friends from the past to the world.

In the whistling cold wind, the sky and the earth are shrouded in the rolling snow of goose feathers.

The entire inner city of Yanjing City was already covered with snow, and half a foot thick of snow had accumulated on the ground.

The sky became darker and darker, and the sky and the earth slowly fell into boundless loneliness and darkness. Only the roaring cold wind poured in from the whistle around the ruined temple, and the fire was blowing brightly and dark.

A group of people sat next to the fire, listening to Qian Wuliang talking about Zhao Qi's huge plans and strange arrangements, occasionally interrupting and asking questions, explaining and telling. After that, the sky was completely dark and the wind slowly stopped, but the snow fell even harder, and it was as heavy as goose feathers. The sky and the earth slowly fell into boundless silence and tranquility. Occasionally, only the howls of wild wolves and the sound of snow crushing the branches and eaves of the houses were heard. Pupulala was extremely clear in the middle of the night.

"Okay, this is all Zhao Qi's plan. You have finished listening to everything you want to listen to. I really have no hiding it at all. But the rules are the same. After listening, I go in and out of the right ear. If anyone reveals something bad about it in the future, don't blame me for Qian Wuliang for not being merciless!"

Qian Wuliang finally finished talking, picked up the gourd and took a sip of wine and glanced at the four companions who were together day and night.

"Don't worry, this matter has not been mentioned yet, so we will never say it out. But if Zhao Qi gives you all the money?" The fat man shrugged and looked at Qian Wuliang.

"That's true!" Qian Wuliang nodded.

"I admire Zhao Qi more and more. Although I can't understand why he recruits teenagers in his teenage training, what he said makes sense. Once these children are well-obedient, they are indeed easier to manage than those heroes in the martial arts world. But how to hide so much money is still a big problem. It is not a long-term solution to put them all in Chongyang Temple, otherwise it will affect my brothers and brothers!" The old Taoist priest said with a toothache and pulling his beard.

"Take, these golds are really not a single word. Do you know if Kublai Khan will pay in the end? Also, if Zhao Qi's calculations are not accurate, Meng Ge did not hand over the military power of the eastern army to Kublai Khan. Meng Ge was not dead next year. This time we will have a waste of time!" The young Taoist priest curled his lips.

"Haha, as a liar, there are so many things to say, ten frauds and one success is success. We have been successful in Qingyuan Mansion twice in a row. In the past, who would have thought that one day we would do such a big deal? I thought that the Lu family's 400,000 yuan was our glory, but I never thought that one day we could cheat 100,000 taels of gold. If it was really successful, we would definitely leave our name in history. Well, Zhao Qi's arrangement will be discussed slowly in the future. Today I will arrange the things three days later!" Qian Wuliang laughed happily.

"Yes, let's discuss the arrangements of Lingquan Temple. This is the most critical step to fool Kublai Khan. As long as Kublai Khan takes away two crystal treasures, most of the matter will be successful. If he succeeds in the end, he will have to leave his fate!"

The old Taoist priest nodded, while a group of people surrounded the fire and began to carefully discuss the next arrangements and details.

And in the big tent of Yanjingcheng, Kublai Khan, who was already late at night, was not asleep yet.

Aide Yao Shu and several other confidants gathered together to discuss the details.

Since he arrived in Yanjing City for more than a month, he has been depressed every day. Looking at the constant sending of war reports and military information, the final battle of Mongolia's expansion seems to have nothing to do with him.

The Western battlefield is in full swing, and several princes have fought tens of thousands of miles away. In the Eastern battlefield, Dali and Goryeo all surrendered. Now there is only one Song Dynasty left, and then Japan, which is lonely overseas. If he cannot get involved in this battle to destroy the Song Dynasty, he will basically be a bystander from beginning to end.

Without military merits, how can you talk about ascending to the throne of Khan in the future to rule the hundreds of tribes?

However, just when he was extremely disappointed and upset, the two Taoist priests who suddenly came here in the wind and snow today opened a bright window for him and lit up the hottest expectations in his heart with a rare crystal treasure in the world.

Therefore, no matter whether this matter is a trap or a conspiracy, he must be very cautious and must check out the two fair Taoist magic weapons in person before making the final decision.

As for the 100,000 taels of gold that made Yao Shu worry, Kublai Khan didn't care at all.

Although he could not take out a hundred thousand taels of gold, he could not take it out, but all the marquises left by the Jin Kingdom were rich. They would definitely not dare to resist if they borrowed it for a while.

What's more, the initiative to pay is in his hands whenever he pays, and no matter how he has to drag the magic weapon to Sichuan and hand it over to Mengge, and then see if Mengge really lets him replace Tachar to command the eastern army.

Therefore, Kublai Khan had already made plans in his mind. Once Mengge Khan really ordered him to replace Tachar, he would have to pay at least half of the gold to express his sincerity at one time. As for the other half, it depends on the future development of things.

If Brother Meng really died suddenly...

Kublai Khan, sitting in the swaying candlelight, suddenly shivered for no reason.

"Prince, are you feeling uncomfortable? Why don't you go to bed early and don't suffer from the cold!" Yao Shu quickly reminded.

"It's okay, I just feel that today's things are a bit strange. Mr. Yao, you said, if those two magic weapons really have the power to stir up the secrets of heaven, what should I do in the future?"

"The prince naturally wants to promote Han rule and treat the people of all ethnic groups in the Han area well!" Yao Shu bowed.

"No, I'm asking what to do with Yun Songzi?" Kublai Khan shook his head.

"This..." Yao Shu pondered and smiled bitterly, "If things really happened one by one as Yun Songzi said, the prince naturally needs to be cautious. The matter of Tianji is illusory, and my subordinates dare not talk nonsense!"

"When Genghis Khan went west, Qiu Chuji stopped killing with one word and was respected as a god by the Great Khan. The meeting of dragons and horses left a story. If I become the Great Khan of Mongolia in the future, this matter will inevitably become a story. Will Yun Songzi be the one who came down to earth to enlighten me?" Kublai Khan touched a bunch of black beards and spoke with a serious expression.

Seeing what Kublai Khan said, Yao Shu smiled bitterly. The three religions of Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism have had struggles since ancient times. Buddhism cultivates the mind and ignores the world; Taoism cultivates nature and is free and free; Confucianism cultivates self-cultivation and governs the country and the people. Only Confucianism is in the court and the world. These Confucian disciples naturally hope that all the kings in the world respect Confucian scholars and adopts the Confucian rule of the country.

But in fact, whether in Buddhism or Taoism, kings of all dynasties were forced to win over or even favor them. Even if they talked about benevolence, righteousness, filial piety and kindness, they actually yearned for the illusory theories of immortals of Buddhism and Taoism, and they became deeper and deeper and unable to extricate themselves.

The Mongols are even more so. They not only believe in various gods, but also in the eyes of Confucian sages such as Yao Shu, the Mongols belonged to the barbarians who had not yet been civilized. Just like the Huns, they were only barbaric and cruel, without humanity or righteousness. Over the years, they only discovered a Kublai Khan from the Mongolian nobles. Even Temujin, who was respected as Genghis Khan, was extremely murderous. Many of the laws he made were barbaric and cruel and inhumane in the eyes of the Central Plains people.

Although Kublai Khan valued Confucian scholars and learned Confucian culture, he was still a Mongol in his bones, with the nature of a barbarian, and was extremely important to the revelation of the gods and the various punishments of heaven.

If the two so-called Taoist magic weapons given to Kublai Khan by Yun Songzi suddenly appeared, they would definitely benefit Kublai Khan from the future.

It seems that because of this incident, the battle between Buddhism and Taoism is likely to come to an end.

Yao Shu suddenly felt a little dazed and depressed. The Confucian disciples have worked hard to assist the king in governing the country, but their status is far less refreshing than the favored ones of the Buddhist and Taoist families.

Accompanying the king is like a tiger. It seems that high-ranking officials and generous salaries are prominent and developed, but in fact, I live every day with fear as if I walk on thin ice.

Although the disciples of Buddhism and Taoism rarely participate in the struggle between the court and the world, every time they appear, they always take the chaotic things and get many unexpected benefits. Look at the Taoist temples in the north and south, they are now magnificent and have occupies the best blessed land of beautiful mountains and rivers. Only Confucianism cannot even afford to cultivate academy. Although it has been glorious for a period of time under the leadership of Zhu Xi, it is slowly declining. Only the mountain gate of Buddhism and Taoism has become more and more brilliant and tall.

What made Yao Shu extremely worried was the 100,000 taels of gold.

Kublai Khan had no, so he could only rely on his own power to take it from the people. Moreover, Yao Shu had already had a clear look on his way, that was the many marquises in the north.

But forcing these Marquis to take out 100,000 taels of gold will probably arouse the anger and dissatisfaction of these Marquis, which will be detrimental to the future governance of the Mongols.

But he couldn't say these words.

If Kublai Khan did not allow him to raise gold to buy these two Taoist magic weapons, Kublai Khan would lose the opportunity to reach the great treasure, and all their life efforts would be in vain.

But if Kublai Khan was asked to raise this money, he would inevitably offend these marquises from the north and the Central Plains, and there would inevitably be hidden dangers in the future.
