Mansion.

This is a rare and luxurious mansion in Jiangnan.

People were coming and going inside, and many people were going in and out, each busy with their own business.

The owner of this mansion was originally a Mongolian noble, but now it belongs to Chen Youliang.

Chen Youliang likes it here very much.

To say he likes it does not mean that Chen Youliang loves glory and wealth. The level of luxury in this mansion that once belonged to a Mongolian nobleman is naturally unusual, but Chen Youliang is not an ordinary man.

Especially after going through Shen Wansan's somewhat sweet and inhumane test, Chen Youliang didn't have much feelings about it after passing the test. After all, the time he stayed in Shen Wansan's mansion made Chen Youliang truly realize the so-called glory. What does wealth look like?

In his opinion, even the rumored emperor's palace could not compare to Shen Wansan in terms of luxury.

Money is like dung.

Women are like clothes.

This is the answer he got after passing the test.

He, Chen Youliang, will not have any problems because of these two points, which will enable him to maintain the most rational state under temptation.

He likes this place because he led his army to conquer this city.

right!

He actually led the army to defeat it, although the resistance was weak.

Instead of looking down on the wind like before, even Chen Youliang himself almost thought he was hallucinating.

Here, Chen Youliang can truly realize the fruits of his labor.

Only when you work hard and gain something, can you be happy.

The situation that horrified other people and forces in the world did not make Chen Youliang happy. He also experienced the horror, which was a true sense of being unable to control oneself.

This is Anhui.

certainly.

Now it still belongs to Jiangnan (Anhui was separated from Jiangnan during the Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty, and was divided into Anhui and Jiangsu at that time).

Watching the people coming and going in the mansion, Chen Youliang looked serious. After taking care of his official duties, he turned his attention to the guard who had been guarding him and was also regarded as a general in his army - Zhao Pu win.

This is a tall man.

The most standard military personnel.

He is an expert at marching and fighting, and his military skills are of a very high level.

Naturally, Chen Youliang did not recruit such a talent.

As an elder from a beggar gang, Chen Youliang rarely had the opportunity to meet such a person. This Zhao Pusheng was given to him by Shen Wansan.

It doesn't matter if he is a guard or a general.

Chen Youliang knew very well that Zhao Pu was one of the candidates Shen Wansan used to control him.

As for whether there were other people in the army or around him, Chen Youliang didn't want to know.

Sometimes, when Chen Youliang wakes up, he feels like he has been in a strange place.

There are strangers all around.

Many times, Chen Youliang experienced for the first time a loneliness and loneliness that was difficult to describe in words.

He had heard that masters were lonely, but he, Chen Youliang, was not a master. At this moment, he also felt the illusion of being overwhelmed by the cold.

The source of all this is a life beyond one's control.

There were all kinds of emotions in his heart, but there was no word of regret.

On the contrary, he worked harder and had a deeper desire to fight.

He doesn't want to be a mere puppet.

As smart as Chen Youliang, he has already discovered some of these problems, and now he is using a casual attitude to investigate, analyze, and learn about the situation while dealing with political affairs.

Because Chen Youliang had a vague feeling that the word puppet might not only apply to one person.

Maybe a dynasty is also possible.

Vaguely, Chen Youliang felt the horror of money.

People can change.

His eyes fell on Zhao Pusheng, but Chen Youliang was thinking of another person.

What is Shen Wansan doing now?

"..."

Shen Wansan was fiddling with the abacus, burying his head in a pile of papers and calculating accounts amidst the crackling sound.

Is it a loss?

Or make money?

After training Chen Youliang to become the spokesperson of the Qinglong Society for Hegemony, when he officially entered the fight for hegemony, he found that his business was not at a loss.

Business...

Upfront investment is required.

He, Shen Wansan, is not a short-sighted person, he focuses on the rewards he brings to himself in the end.

And more importantly, after Shen Wansan discovered that he could dominate the world by promoting others, it became easier for him to control the Qinglong Society. The Qinglong Society is too big, and people's hearts have long been corrupted by money. People's minds have changed. Let the person who is the leader know that this huge team is not easy to lead.

Even though he, Shen Wansan, is now the leader of the Qinglong Society, he actually does not have a complete grasp of the power of the Qinglong Society. What he has the deepest control over is the part that belongs to him and the two-thirds that remain within the territory of China. power, the remaining one-third is beyond his control.

Not to mention those caring people who had left the land of China with their treasures.

Even if Shen Wansan wants to collect and recover this part of the things now, he is still facing huge difficulties. According to his understanding, a small group of traitors in the Qinglong Society once took a boat to the West and went to the ocean. Deep down, I don’t know where it is hidden.

Over the years, he, Shen Wansan, has never bothered to pay attention to the Jianghu battles in China. After arranging some chess pieces undercover in many sects as in the past, he focused part of his attention on this. Of course, the biggest target is still the legendary on the man in.

It's just that many times the legend is too far away from him, and more of his energy is focused on another point.

So Shen Wansan secretly trained countless skilled craftsmen over the years.

Forged sword.

shipbuilding.

Mechanical manufacturing.

Wait, these are all his goals.

It wasn't until Yueyuan and the legend appeared again that Shen Wansan returned from overseas and focused all his attention on the land of China.

This really started to push his plan forward.

"Then what is he doing now?"

Shen Wansan put down the account book he had calculated and picked up the collected intelligence. His eyes were full of confusion: "The Mongols have entered a decline and are declining. The prairie fire is already burning. It doesn't take much effort to defeat them." They all rushed to the depths of the desert to eat sand."

"The rest are internal issues."

"Well..."

"Jiqing was captured by the Mingjiao army Zhu Yuanzhang and renamed Yingtian? So close?"

"It seems that the war between us is not far away."

While muttering to himself, Shen Wansan seemed to have thought of something after some speculation. After immersing himself in writing a letter again, he called his men in and gave instructions.

"Here comes someone."

"Send this letter to Zhang Shicheng."

"Tell him that I, Shen Wansan, will charge interest."

Although it is a waste that has not completely passed the test he once set, it can still be used.

"But what is that person doing now?"

…

Yingtian.

Military camp, outside the big tent.

Zhu Yuanzhang, Xu Da and Ma Dajiao were far away from each other, and they had separated their troops several miles away for this time.

The three of them were all dumbfounded at this moment as they watched the movement in the big tent not far ahead after the leader Yue Yuan walked in. The whole big tent shook, and even the earth seemed to be shaking.

What happened there?

The three of them didn't dare to ask, let alone say anything. Even after looking at it for a few times, they all withdrew their gaze.

At this moment, all three of them are disabled.

He is blind.

It's deaf.
