Chapter 69: Unparalleled Wisdom! Shocked the audience
“My plan is divided into four steps.”
"The first step is to pour money on the sky."
"The second step is to kill two soldiers with one peach."
"The third step is to drive the tiger and swallow the wolf."
"The fourth step is to go against the will of heaven."
"As long as these four steps are completed, not only will the Riven Valley be safe and sound, but the fallen leaves can also be recaptured."
When everyone heard these four steps, they still felt in a fog. They felt that the crisis in front of them was unsolvable, and even had no way to go.
Yun Zhonghe smiled and said, "You all think that the crisis is unsolvable. It's just for one reason. You want to defend. You want to overcome the crisis, and you always want to keep the Silver Salt Well."
Leng Bi said: "Is this abnormal? The Silver Salt Well is the core lifeline of our Riven Valley. The annual income is as low as 400,000 taels and 500,000 taels high as 500,000 taels, accounting for about 500,000 taels of the entire Riven Valley's income. Of course, we want to keep the Silver Salt Well."
Yun Zhonghe couldn't help but smack his tongue.
The silver salt farm is really huge, and its annual income exceeds 400,000 taels?
Although the salt price is very high in this world, when the market is good, the appearance price will not exceed six cents. When the market is bad, it will only cost three cents per pound.
One tael of silver is exchanged for about one thousand ounces, and a yearly income of 500,000 taels will be produced. Wouldn’t it be necessary to produce tens of thousands of tons of salt?
Of course, this is nothing to modern salt fields. There are hundreds of thousands of tons and million tons of salt fields abound every year.
But in this era, the salt field of this scale is very amazing.
According to Leng Bi, Liefeng Valley earns nearly one million taels of silver every year. As a land of vassals with a population of 400,000, it is really a rich man.
But whether it is Jing Er or Jing Zhongyue, they are the losers.
Look at the luxury of Jing Zhongyue's life, and then look at how many troops are there in Liefeng Valley? The income of nearly one million taels of silver is probably not much left every year.
But in a word, the silver salt well is the economic lifeline of Riven Valley.
Once the silver salt well is lost, the Riven Valley will lose most of its wealth, and it will basically be considered a waste.
Yun Zhonghe said: "Let's deduce what will happen next?"
"First of all, we have to face huge compensation. The current number is nearly two thousand people dead, and this number will continue to rise. Those who die are not only workers in the Yanjing, but also officials of the Alliance of the Princes, merchants, merchants of the Daying Empire, the Southern Zhou Empire, and the Xiliang Kingdom. The pension for salt workers will not be very high, but the compensation for those merchants and officials will be very amazing."
"So this compensation may exceed one million and a half taels of silver."
Jing Zhongyue's beautiful face twitched slightly, and she had calculated it in her heart, even more accurate than the numbers calculated by Yun Zhonghe.
Yun Zhonghe guessed correctly. She was a loser. Although she was rich in Liefeng Valley, she really didn't have much money left every year.
"We have to pay more than this money. The salt we produce is mixed with poisonous salt and eaten to death. Of course, this was done by the Mo family colluding with an insider. Although the appearance of poisonous salt is not much different from salt. However, there have been clues in the report, and it has been twice. The dogs patrolling the salt mine died suddenly and died strangely. We have to guess whether this was accidentally eaten by poisonous salt. The people from the Jinyishu have discovered it, but they have not attracted enough attention. Chu Zhaoran has an unshirkable responsibility for this."
At this time, Yun Zhonghe did not forget Yin Churan.
"What will happen if our salt is killed by eating people? Not only the salt in the silver salt well, but also the salt in the Lantian Salt Field can't be sold."
I have said before that Lifeng Valley lacks farming and cannot afford to eat, so I made a fortune by selling salt.
Therefore, the entire Liefeng Valley relies on two core territories, one is the silver territorial and the other is the Lantian territorial, both of which are large salt producers.
The salt produced in Liefeng Valley is consuming so much that people will definitely be in panic. How could the salt merchants dare to buy the salt produced by the Jing family?
"So for a long time, we couldn't sell a grain of salt in Riven Valley. Even the salt that had been sold would be returned, and the money we received would have to be returned, and even compensation would be required. This is another large sum of silver."
"Conservatively estimated that the two compensations combined should exceed 1.8 million taels. And our financial resources will be cut off for a long time."
"Master, do we have so much money in our warehouse?" Yun Zhonghe asked.
Jing Zhongyue said very alone: "No."
Yun Zhonghe said: "Is it much different?"
Jing Zhongyue said: "Yes, it's a lot different."
Yun Zhonghe was shocked. The income of nearly one million taels per year was not even worth one million taels.
You father and daughter are really a waste of money.
Yun Zhonghe said: "Our first step is to raise about 1.8 million taels of silver in the shortest time to compensate the silver tragedy. We will get this money within two months."
Leng Bi said: "This is as difficult as climbing to the sky."
Jing Zhongyue said: "It is impossible to get this money within two months. At this time, no one is willing to borrow it. So... I don't plan to pay this money, why do you want me to accompany me?"
Yun Zhonghe was shocked?
My moon, if you say so confidently, you can say it? I don’t have money, but I just won’t pay.
Is your unparalleled face so thick? At most, you have a small face.
"No, lord, you have to pay." Yun Zhonghe said: "This money must be paid, otherwise the next plan will not be easy to implement, and this money is not worth mentioning to our goal."
Jing Zhongyue said: "Aotian, I don't care about silver and money. But I really can't take out this money, and it's even more impossible to take it out in a short period of time."
Yun Zhonghe said, "Then I'll pay for how much money is missing."
As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked.
Mr. Yun Aotian, is all the money you have on you combined, more than ten taels?
Leng Bi said: "Yun Aotian, how much money do you have in total?"
Yun Zhonghe took out his pocket and finally found three cents, which could buy about five buns.
When it comes to bragging or you are awesome, if you have three cents in your mouth, you dare to brag about a million taels of silver.
Millions of taels of silver would be billions of dollars.
Jing Zhongyue said: "Okay, we can calculate it in two months. We can raise nearly 2 million taels of silver to pay this compensation."
When he said this, Jing Zhongyue's beautiful little mouth took a breath.
It can be seen that she had almost no hope for this matter and could never believe that Yun Zhonghe could earn astronomical silver in two months. (Don't worry, don't make mirrors or glass)
"What's next?" Jing Zhongyue asked.
Yun Zhonghe said: "Even if we lose this money, the Alliance of the Princes will directly send troops to Baiyin Corps in the name of investigation, or even to Lantian Corps, directly control the core of our lifeline. Then we will impose unprecedented sanctions on us and block out food."
Leng Bi said: "It has developed to this point, and we are already finished with Riven Valley. We have lost nearly two million taels of silver, and we can't sell a piece of salt. The two core territories are occupied, and the people in the territory are out of food. The army collapses, the people collapse, and the century-old foundation of Riven Valley is directly destroyed."
That's right, it's true.
Once the army that developed into the alliance of princes forcibly garrisoned the Baiyin Ling and Lantian Ling, and blocked and sanctioned, the Riven Valley was completely destroyed.
"So, the situation must not develop to this point." Yun Zhonghe said: "It must be stopped."
Leng Bi said: "In order to occupy the fallen leaves, the Mo family will definitely make the situation develop to this point, completely dismember our Riven Valley and destroy the Jing family."
Yun Zhonghe said: "According to your idea, how do you want to stop it?"
Leng Bidao: "Send troops and start a war."
Yun Zhonghe said: "Will we use our family's troops to fight against more than a dozen coalition forces of princes? That's a way to die."
Leng Bi said: "Then what do you think you will do?"
Yun Zhonghe said: "It's very simple! Throw out the silver salt well."
Leng Bidao: "Check it out?"
"Yes!" Yun Zhonghe said.
As soon as these words came out, everyone's faces changed drastically.
This silver salt well is the economic lifeline of Riven Valley. Five or sixty percent of the annual income depends on this salt field. If you throw it out directly, it is not a self-cutting arm, but an amputation below the waist.
Yun Zhonghe said: "This is the most core and most important second step in my strategy: kill two soldiers with one peach and discord between tigers and wolves!"
At this time, the Left Bank military advisor said: "The tiger is the Dan Tai family, and the wolf is the Mo family."
"Yes! Let's first dedicate the silver salt field to the Mo family, and then to the Dan Tai family." Yun Zhonghe said: "The root of our crisis lies in the Dan Tai family. Once the Dan Tai family and the Mo family join forces, we can't resist it at all. So the core of our breakthrough is to alienate these two families."
"We can't bear to leave the child and can't trap the wolf, and we can't bear to leave the wife and can't trap the hooligan." Yun Zhonghe said: "We just throw the silver salt field out, and the whole game of chess will be alive, right?"
The military advisor of the Left Bank nodded and said, "Yes, the silver salt farm produces 500,000 taels of silver every year. What the Mo family lacks is money, and they will definitely not be able to withstand this temptation."
Yun Zhonghe said: "Once the Mo family gets the silver salt field, he will not only not fan the flames, but will take the initiative to put out the fire. They will try every means to calm the silver tragedy, so that the silver salt field will not become a hot potato and they can eat it smoothly."
"At that time, the Mo family will try hard to prevent the army of the Alliance of Princes from forcibly entering the Silver Corps. They will also take the initiative to clear our grievances about producing poisonous salt, and will make the truth clear, because only in this way can the salt in the Silver Salt Field be sold."
"In this way, we will at least survive the crisis in front of us, and will not suffer more severe sanctions, and will not be sent to the alliance of princes."
Yun Zhonghe said: "If the Mo family has food, if they get the silver salt farm, it will be like there are 500,000 taels of silver every year, and they have money and food. This is the foundation of hegemony. In addition, he has the vassal of Qiushui City, and we show our intention to depend on it, will his power suddenly expand and soar into the sky? Will the Mo family develop ambitions and want to be on an equal footing with the Dan Tai family?"
There is no doubt that no one is unwilling to be the queen. The head of the Mo family is also a hero of a generation, full of ambitions.
Any prince, once he has money and food, will definitely have troops and horses, and will definitely want to become the overlord.
If we just keep our true feelings, the Mo family would not be so aggressive.
"The hegemony of the Mo family appears. Will the Dan Tai family, the first prince, be full of fear of the Mo family? Because this is to seize his overlord position, this is a plan of separation." Yun Zhonghe said: "However, on the day when the Mo family officially handed over the Baiyin Mine, when the Mo family felt that they were about to reach the peak of their lives, we transformed and presented the Baiyin Salt Field to the Dan Tai family, and proposed to the Dan Tai family as a betrothal gift, so that Jing Wubian would marry Dan Tai Fuping. On this day, the Mo family would fall from heaven to hell."
想到这一幕,众人爽得汗毛都竖起来.
但是很快,冷碧表示了质疑.
"This peach killing two men sounds very good, but it is actually very difficult to do. The Mo family is very cunning and does not show eagles without seeing rabbits. We must sign a treaty for them when we dedicate the Silver Salt Farm, just like signing a loan agreement fifty years ago." Leng Bi said: "Once the treaty is signed, we cannot break the contract, and we can no longer dedicate the Silver Salt Farm to the Dantai family."
The treaty of the Lost Leaf-leading treaty fifty years ago was really a century-long pain for the Jing family.
"Yes, you must sign a contract and rent the Silver Salt Farm to the Mo family for fifty years." Yun Zhonghe said: "This secret agreement must be signed, but when the treaty takes effect, on the day when the silver Salt Farm is officially handed over, this treaty will automatically be wiped out, as if it has not been signed, so naturally there is no need to comply with it."
Leng Bi said: "How is this possible? When signing a contract, Mo would stipulate what kind of pen and ink and paper to use, and no hands or feet could move. And once the contract was signed, they would perfectly keep the contract and put it in the strongest box. This box would be placed in the safest and most secret place, and it would be completely impossible to steal and destroy it."
