On this day, Yuan Tiangang was watching his son finish an article " Huang Ting Jing " written by Youjun in small regular script. His family came to report that someone was visiting, but he refused to give his name and insisted on seeing him in person. When he went out, he saw that it was Huangzhuang Zhuangtou, whom he had only met once. His heart skipped a beat. Didn't Lao Dong have some bad news?
When Zhuangtou saw him, he asked to go to a secret room with a rather mysterious expression to tell him something important. He couldn't guess what happened to Zhuangtou, but he was surprised. It could be said that they had nothing to do with each other.
Yuan Tiangang led Zhuangtou to the study and told him that this was the secret room and no one could hear them. Zhuangtou knelt down, even if he knelt three times and kowtowed nine times, Yuan Tiangang couldn't hold him back and kept calling him "Master". He was horrified and amused, thinking the man was crazy. After Zhuangtou kowtowed, he stood up, still hunched over and said, "My old master passed away. He called me before he died and asked me to serve you in the future. You will be my new master."
He understood somewhat. It turns out that the old emperor Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty (Yuan Tiangang's biological father) sent him to serve him, but he didn't need it? Now that people are here, they can be accommodated at home. Anyway, there is only one more person to eat with. Unexpectedly, Zhuangtou said something earth-shattering again.
It turns out that as early as the ninth year of Kaihuang (AD 589), that is, at the end of the year when Yuan Tiangang went to Chang'an , Yang Jian called Zhuangtou and told him to do a very confidential thing. He secretly bought some manor houses and shops in various places, and told him not to let anyone know about it, otherwise the lives of his whole family would be in danger.
He spent a year buying some manors and shops in several provinces. After he came back to resume his duties, the emperor was very satisfied and told him to continue. He bought many manors and shops, mainly shops, including gold shops, banks, pledge shops, silk and satin shops, etc. He even bought several ranches in Longshang, forming a network across the country, starting from Jiaoguang in the south and ending in Guangzhou in the north. As far as Liaodong, the sea in the east, and Shuomo in the west, this network covers almost all of it, but it becomes denser inland and sparse as it expands outward.
"How much does this cost?" Yuan Tiangang was stunned by such a large amount of money. This was simply an invisible empire, with no army and no government offices.
"Of course I spent a lot of money. But the old slave has a detailed account book and will show it to the master. Since the old master paid tribute in 1995, the old master has never touched the money and property in several manors of the Duke's mansion. One point, all the livestock accumulated over the past twenty years have been turned into manors and shops in various places in this way. This is also the old master's instructions, and there is an imperial edict written by him. Now only one of the few manors next to the capital is left. "It's empty airs."
The last time the father and son met (actually, it was also their first real meeting), Yang Jian once told Yuan Tiangang that he had made some arrangements for him. He never dared to think that such an arrangement would be possible. It's not unusual to be generous, but the painstaking efforts are convincing and touching.
There is no child in the world who does not love his parents. It is because he cannot let go of the resentment in his heart. Yuan Tiangang could not let go of the death of his mother Su Rui.
Yuan Tiangang looked at the dense red dots marked on the large map spread out on the table. These red dots were the manors, shops, and ranches. He realized that these were not just properties, but an escape route all over the world. The emperor made this arrangement because he was afraid that the matter would be exposed and the queen would send people to hunt him down, just like when he was born, the queen sent people to hunt down the mother and son. Although Yang Jian is the supreme king in the world, he cannot guarantee that the queen will not murder her behind her back. He also knew that he was getting old and that death was something he could not resist. He also had to think about what would happen after his death and be prepared.
He suddenly glanced at the village head a few times and smiled slightly, but he was thinking in his heart: These shops and estates are all handled by this person, and the money flows in and out of him alone, and no one knows why this person is doing it. Come and tell yourself why not stay by yourself. After all, the emperor is dead and the person who knows about it is gone.
When Zhuangtou saw his expression, he guessed what he was thinking and said with a smile: "Master is suspicious that I can hide this huge fortune, why not hide it? In fact, I can't hide it. I understand, the old master, even the queen, The current emperor is on guard against him. He is the person closest to him besides his master. Although I have followed my master all my life and have always been loyal, how could the old master not be on guard against me? God knows what methods the old master uses to guard against me. So, Master, don’t think too much, not to mention that the old slave and his family have received the old master’s immense kindness, and they will never dare to betray their hearts. Even if they think about it, they don’t have the courage. The day I dare to think about this, that day will be the day when the old slave and his family will be shattered. Old slave It's like a mirror in my heart."
Yuan Tiangang nodded. This is possible. Emperor Daxing was best at controlling and controlling his ministers. He may not be called a valiant and strategist, but no emperor in the past dynasties could match him in controlling his subordinates. Even Yang Su, who was arrogant and bold, felt like a mouse when he saw a cat, and his legs trembled when he saw the emperor. As for being wary of everyone, he is even better at using unknown means to make them spy on each other. He couldn't guess what means Emperor Daxing would use to guard against the village head, but he did believe that if the village head dared to deceive his heart and wanted to hide this property, as he said, his whole family would be killed immediately. If he was destroyed, someone would come to contact him. Without a complete plan, Emperor Daxing would never entrust such an important matter involving sky-high property to one person.
"There is also an account here. The old master gave the old slave a mint. The old slave handed over some of the money produced by the mint in ten years to the treasury. The rest was broken into parts by the old slave and transferred to The money is about 10 million guan in various places. Plus the shops, manors and so on, the total value is about 20 million guan. "
"Twenty million guan?" Yuan Tiangang was shocked again.
"Small is a bit too little." The manor thought he was too little and scratched his bald head, "The manor's annual output is not too much. It costs a lot for people to eat horse chews. The Mint makes a lot of money every year." Some money must be handed over, otherwise it will be difficult for the old master to deal with it. The old slave also spent all his efforts to get so much? How many tens of millions of treasury can the total income be? "Yuan Tiangang was so shocked that his body felt numb.
"You can tell me if you don't mind it being too little. I really don't know how much the treasury takes in every year, and I don't care. I just know that if I buy these shops and manors for you, my master, my annual income is around one million." Zhuangtou became proud again, "What's more important is that the current emperor will not know about this."
After a long conversation, Yuan Tiangang learned Zhuangtou's name, Wu Tuwan. Judging from the name, it should be a branch of the Tuoba tribe. He is over seventy years old, but he is physically strong and energetic.
For three days in a row, Yuan Tiangang had a secret conversation with him in the study. Wu Tuwan has been staying at home since he came to the village. He eats and drinks in Yuan Tiangang's study every day and only talks to Yuan Tiangang, as if he is afraid that others will know that he is here. Yuan Tiangang didn't think too deeply, thinking that he was just cautious by nature.
When he went to the study on the fourth day, Utumaru was dead. He had poisoned himself. He left a suicide note, which said that he had completed the task assigned by his old master and was going underground to see his old master again. He also asked Yuan Tiangang not to send his coffin back to Beijing, but to bury it nearby, and his soul should accompany his new master after his death.
Yuan Tiangang was so sad that he didn’t know if this was the last part of the whole plan, so he also sealed the mouth of the only insider. Utumaru may be afraid that if he is alive and caught by Imagami, he will tell everything under torture. In fact, this doesn’t have to be the case.
He asked people to quietly buy a coffin, put Wutuwan in it, and pretended that an old family member died suddenly of illness, and no one noticed. He found a place with good geomantic omen on a mountainside near Panlong Peak and buried Wu Tuwan. There was only one line written on the tombstone: Tomb of a martyr of the Sui Dynasty. no name.
After Utumaru was buried, he set off to various places.The shops and manors purchased by Utumaru were all run by people, and they were left with seals and seals, telling them that only those with the right seals were their owners. He just wanted to take these shops, estates, etc. into his own hands.
If Yang Jian were still alive, he would definitely not accept these if given to him. However, if he doesn't want them now, who else can he return them to? Return it to brother Jinshang? Or leave it outside? Moreover, the most attractive thing about this system to him is this network. He has always imagined using the power of Chang'an Mansion to verify the Jiao Yanshou system, and predicting all the possible cases in a place through the hexagram. His ability has improved again, but it is a pity that he has been unable to borrow any power since then. If he mobilizes such a large amount of manpower and material resources on his own, and if he has to do this often, he will have more than enough ambition but not enough power! Now that a ready-made network has been delivered to him, he does not want these huge fortunes, but uses this network to collect information, verify and run into Jiao Yanshou's system. The temptation is irresistible.
He started another two-year journey and went to every place. According to the address and information Utumaru left for him, he found every shop, every manor, and even those ranches, and used the seal to seal the talisman. Take these things into your own hands. Of course, these shops, manors, and ranches all have owner names, but there is only one real owner, and that is him. These shops all belong to him directly, and they have no knowledge of, let alone contact with, each other.
This is a fugitive network. What Yang Jian imagined was that after the queen or his successor knew Yuan Tiangang's life experience, they would hunt him down everywhere. Yuan Tiangang can escape everywhere along this network. Even if most of the network is discovered and cracked, Yuan Tiangang will still have a hiding place. His original idea was to set up a Cunning Rabbit Three Cave for Yuan Tiangang. Later, it developed into not just three caves, but three thousand caves.
This is also the lesson Su Rui's death taught him too hard, so he must definitely avoid it a second time. When he discovered that this plan could perfectly transfer all the property of the Duke's Mansion to Yuan Tiangang's hands, he became even more enthusiastic. He gave several sons Tongshan and mint furnaces, but could not give Yuan Tiangang a share, so he placed a mint under the supervision of Wu Tuwan and asked him to guard and steal. He also transferred part of the money and dispersed it into the system. But no matter what huge wealth this network contains, its original intention and main function is still a fugitive network.
After he took these industries into his hands, he imitated the Jingfang system and incorporated these industries. In this way, he could easily calculate what had happened and what was about to happen in various places. He also changed a set of management and control techniques. This network is no longer a piece of loose sand, but a flexible system that can be commanded like an arm. In this regard, no one can surpass him.
He began to really direct these industries. Every year, he gave instructions to the shops and manor, telling them what goods to buy in the store and what crops to plant in the manor. As a result, profits doubled for anyone who followed his instructions. Every year when the bills were sent to him, he would check them. If there were some errors, whether he wanted to hide some money or things or he had made a miscalculation, he would write down the correct bills and send them back to these people. Sometimes he would have an idea and figure out some things about the people in charge of shops and manors, and write them out jokingly in letters. These little magic tricks scare these people to death. The master is not a human, but a god. They say there are gods three feet above the ground, and the master is everywhere! No matter what these people do, they feel that the master's eyes are staring at their backs. After that, no one dares to deceive him, let alone betray him. People have this kind of mentality. They can rebel against their parents, teachers, and even dare to rebel and kill the emperor when pressed, but no one dares to disrespect the gods, let alone betray them.
Qian Yuan Tiangang no longer has to worry about building a stargazing tower. Even if he wants to build ten more, he will not find it difficult. Of course he wouldn't do that. After he came back, he was no longer occupied by anyone except for believers, and he devoted all his energy to studying Jiao Yanshou's system.He suddenly had a bold idea to combine the Jiao Yanshou system and the Jingfang system, so that he could not only calculate the affairs of one place, but even the world affairs while sitting at home. Now he has a nationwide network to provide him with the information he needs, which he can use to verify and adjust.
It was the wealth empire left by Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty Yang Jian to Yuan Tiangang, which allowed Yuan Tiangang to build the sky-high price of the Star Observation Tower, and also gave Yuan Tiangang the strength to perfectly combine the Jiao Yanshou system and the Jingfang system, and became his son Yuan Tiangang is famous all over the world and will be remembered for generations. Without the Empire of Wealth, there would be no Dragon Viewing from the Star Observation Tower by Yuan Tiangang, nor would there be the world's most wonderful book "Tui Bei Tu" written by Yuan Tiangang and his apprentice Li Chunfeng .
