(About the update: I really don’t have much time to write. My health is not good this year, and my wife is not allowed to stay up late. Secondly, I am the only one in the department now, and I have to do everything. I try to write as much as possible, and each chapter has 4K

Yes, you can save it up and read it again. I’m really sorry! I also read the book reviews and was very emotional. In fact, I also know that those who can post book reviews and complain about slow updates are those who like Fu Song Dynasty. But

I still have to say a few words about Sanniangzi’s future. Why is Liao not a good place for her? Yelujun is not comparable to Luo Gang in terms of talent or martial arts, so he is worthy of Sanniangzi.

Let's live it! In addition, from our current perspective, the Liao Kingdom is not considered orthodox in China, but at that time, the struggle between Song and Liao for unification continued until the end of the Liao Kingdom! However, later we determined that the Song Dynasty was Chinese orthodox, but

At that time, there was no such statement, so everyone still had preconceptions. Earlier, I also wrote a special chapter about the Huayi debate between Sanniangzi and Yelujun! It’s just that I didn’t write it too deeply because of my own level.

Tian Yi is now the commander of Qianzhou and joins the army.

In the past, this position was insignificant because Qianzhou only controlled two counties: Pengshui and Qianjiang.

But now this position is very popular.

Because the Si Hu in Qianzhou joined the army, he also controlled the accounts of the Qianzhou Chamber of Commerce.

Young Tian Yi was able to obtain this position mostly because Tian's strength was recognized by all forces in the federation. Sizhou Tian was worthy of this position.

However, Tian Yi's ability in the more than a year since he took office has impressed everyone. At first, everyone was worried that the former dandy could not understand the accounts, make random accounts, even enrich himself, or fail to act impartially.

One force was biased towards his Tian family, but as time went by, everyone became more and more satisfied with this Sihu joining the army.

The accounts are clear and transactions can be seen at a glance. More importantly, his work efficiency is so high that many people are stunned. Moreover, his own new set of accounting methods and accounting methods have now spread not only in Qianzhou

Later, even many big businessmen from the Southern Federation sent their core disciples to study.

After more than a year, Tian Yi's position in the federation has become unshakable.

Only Tian Yi knows the inside story here.

The reason why I am where I am today is all because of Xiao Cheng's help. A series of new financial methods such as new accounting methods and accounting methods all came from Xiao Cheng.

I am just a porter.

Xiao Cheng did not allow Tian Yi to say that he had taught Tian Yi these things. Instead, he publicly praised Tian Yi on many occasions as a talented and capable official, who might become the prime minister of the imperial court in the future.

Xiao Cheng's praise confirmed Tian Yi's extraordinary ability in finance.

This actually made Tian let go of most of his thoughts.

As Xiao Cheng quickly integrated the forces in Qianzhou, and the strength of the Qianzhou Business Federation was also growing rapidly, as more and more people joined in, like the Tian family, the Yang family became a little uneasy. Many of them came from the south.

The merchants are so powerful that even the Tian and Yang families are afraid of them.

The greater the power of the Qianzhou Chamber of Commerce, the greater the influence of Tian Yi, who controls the association's finances. Will Xiao Cheng encourage Tian Yilai to seek to seize the Tian family's power so that others can better control it?

Tian's family is an issue that Tian Chou has to consider.

Because from all aspects, as time went by, Tian Yi admired Xiao Cheng so much that at the family meeting, he even asked Tian to cooperate with Xiao Cheng in all aspects.

To put it bluntly, Tian Yi’s idea is to seek refuge with Xiao Cheng.

Tian Chou was a little unhappy at this.

He is willing to be Xiao Cheng's ally, but does not want to be his subordinate.

The Xiao family is powerful now, but the Sizhou Tian family is not bad either.

Therefore, Tian Chou would not hand over the Tian family to Tian Yi, even if Tian Yi showed quite strong abilities.

If you give it to him, he might change hands and give it to the Xiao family.

Xiao Cheng's statement undoubtedly gave Tian Chou a reassurance. After such a long period of contact and understanding, Tian Chou knew very well that Xiao Dianping never did things without aim.

Turning over and dismounting, Tian Yi walked toward the gate with some annoyance. During this period, because Xiao Cheng was using troops against the Luodian Ghost Kingdom, he joined the army as a commander and was extremely busy. He basically didn't go home and stayed in the Yamen.

For example, the deployment of various materials used in the military cannot be ignored. If something goes wrong at one point, it may lead to big trouble.

Although he had the experience of defeating the Wang family in Bangzhou before, this time he dealt with the Luodian Ghost Kingdom, both in scale and time. This was a test for him, and Tian Yi didn't want to mess it up.

It's just that I haven't been back for a few days, and my concubine sent people to call her again and again today, which made the colleagues in the yamen laugh. It was really annoying, and it seemed that she needed to be repaired.

If you continue to be proud of your favor, don't blame yourself for being ruthless.

Tian Yi was stunned as he pushed the door open.

He saw a few familiar faces, they were the guards of his eldest brother Tian Chou.

My heart skipped a beat, big brother is here? Otherwise, why would these people appear here?

He came as soon as he came, why did he do it so mysteriously? He even asked his concubine to send someone to call him.

Tian Yi felt a little resentful in his heart.

Walking into the house, sure enough, at a glance, I saw my eldest brother sitting in the hall with a heavy heart, drinking tea, and my concubine was waiting on him like a little girl. When I saw Tian Yi come back, I felt like I had been granted amnesty.

"Brother, what happened in Sizhou?" Tian Yi sat down next to Tian Chou and said with some dissatisfaction: "You don't even know that I am very busy!"

Tian Chou glanced at Tian Yi, and he saw that people's mentality changes with their status and importance!

Like in the past, this boy Tian Yi was so casual in front of him. He would stand in a disciplined manner even if he didn't ask him to sit down. But now, in front of him, Tian Yi is already very casual.

"It's not that something happened in Sizhou, but that something big happened in your family!" Tian Chou shook his head and said, "Yang Qing is here too. Yang Quan will come to your place in a while, and Yang Qing will come in among his entourage.

, our two families need to discuss it carefully."

Tian Yi was horrified, and the battle his eldest brother put out gave him a feeling of trepidation.

"Didn't you say last time that King Jing's rebellion would not affect the Xiao family? Is Xiao Ding's strength enough to silence everyone?" Tian Yi asked.

"Yes, I said that. The imperial court's imprisonment of Xiao Yu was actually just a way to force Xiao Ding to hand over military power." Tian Chou said: "But the problem is, Xiao Yu died in Zhao Prison.

, and it is said that he died extremely miserably, and I heard that the court used severe punishment!"

"How is this possible? Are those people in the court deceived by lard?" Tian Yi jumped up.

"I don't know what's going on specifically," Tian Chou said, "but I know that the imperial court's special envoy power has reached Fengjie. Maybe Li Fang, the Kuizhou Road transfer envoy, will come to our family soon. Li Fang knows very well.

If we want to deal with Xiao Cheng, our two families must cooperate with him."

Tian Yi's eyelids twitched, he looked at Tian Chou and remained silent for a long time.

"Don't look at me like this. Let's discuss what we are going to do. Otherwise, I won't come to Pengshui quietly. Fortunately, Xiao Cheng is not here. When the discussion comes to a result,

I will leave tonight." Tian Chou waved his hand. "Let's wait until Yang Qing and the others arrive!"

Tian Yi stopped talking, but silently pondered what changes this incident would bring to Qianzhou.

There is no doubt that Qianzhou will usher in earth-shaking changes.

Xiao Yu died in the hands of the imperial court, and Xiao Cheng would never let it go.

After more than a year of contact, Tian Yi knew Xiao Cheng's temperament very well.

And what is Xiao Cheng’s strength now?

Tian Yi's heart skipped a beat.

Yang Qing came very quickly, Tian Yi came in, and just as he said these words to Tian Chou, Yang Quan and his people appeared at Tian Yi's home. Just looking at Yang Quan's face, Tian Yi knew that Yang Quan also

Understand the inner relationship.

"Xiao Dingyuan is far in the northwest, and his influence on us is minimal. In the past, we just wanted to use the power of the Xiao family to expand our influence." Yang Qing glanced at a few people and spoke first: "Now the situation has changed. We

The two families must think carefully about how to be more beneficial to the family? You two can be regarded as Xiao Cheng's confidants, so you said it politely, if we want to cooperate with Li Fang to take down Xiao Cheng, we have to pay

At what cost?”

Tian Yi glanced at his eldest brother and suddenly laughed: "Uncle Yang, why don't you ask how big the loss will be if we abandon Xiao Cheng?"

"Financial losses are not within the scope of consideration this time." Yang Qing shook his head.

Tian Yi took a deep breath and said: "Uncle Yang, eldest brother, since the family values ​​my and Brother Yang's opinions, then I want to say that in this incident, we have two choices. The first one,

Firmly support Xiao Cheng and sternly reject the imperial court. The second one is to shirk the imperial court and the two do not help each other."

Tian Chou said: "Why is there no option to help the court win Xiao Cheng?"

"If this is the option for the family, congratulations to brother, there is a high probability that the Tian family will perish in your hands." Tian Yi smiled, ignoring Tian Chou's somewhat angry look and said: "Brother Yang, I know the Federation better than you do.

You know the Federation’s financial resources better than I do, do you think I’m wrong in what I said?”

"No!" Yang Quan said calmly: "I told my father at home, but he didn't believe it. At present, the actual army controlled by the Commercial Federation is about 10,000 people. Five thousand of them are in the Tianwu Army, and 3,000 are in the Tianwu Army.

One of them is the Xiang Army controlled by Han Yu, and the other two thousand or so people are the Tiannan Army."

"Isn't the Tiannan Army Wang Wenzheng?"

Yang Quan chuckled: "Wang Wenzheng has become a puppet a long time ago. The Tiannan Army now only listens to the orders of one person, and that is Xiao Cheng."

"Xiao Cheng controls the army by using the Business Federation. In such a state, how many people in the Federation will support him?" Yang Qing asked.

"Father, the Federation of Commerce is Xiao Cheng, and Xiao Cheng is the Federation of Commerce!" Yang Quan shook his head and said: "You should know this. Li Fang is cunning and wants us to pull chestnuts from the fire for him. Once the Tian and Yang families,

If we send out troops, we will inevitably suffer a huge defeat. Even if we take ten thousand steps back, even if the imperial army sends troops to Jinghu Road, Yizhou Road or even Guangxi, it will probably end in a lose-lose outcome. By then, they will have no idea how many casualties the imperial troops and horses will have.

It doesn’t matter, once the Yang Tian family loses a large number of soldiers and horses, I think everyone knows what will happen next!”

Tian Chou and Yang Qing looked at each other.

"Li Fang has become a master in old age. I'm afraid he is plotting not only Xiao Cheng, but also us, right? The transformation of Qianzhou from native land to native land has been basically completed, and the two Yangtian families will also lose their autonomy by then.
To be continued...
