Chapter 251 The wisdom of the little emperor.

Seven million taels of silver, with the use of leverage, can completely destroy any so-called clan.

Naturally, the Ming family is also included.

"Are you going to go there in person, my Lord?"

"It's natural!"

How could Fan Xian not go to such a lively scene?

What a good day! Does it seem like a good day to go collect debts?
"With the newly acquired seven million taels, we are already well-off. If you only want to deal with the Ming family, why bother with so much trouble?"

Wang Qinian asked carefully.

There were many things he didn't understand, and since he had just arrived, he had better ask for clarification before taking any action. With such a large amount of money, he had to make sure everything was done properly.

"Our enemy has never been the Jiangnan nobles, but Northern Qi!" Fan Xian said meaningfully.

Wang Qinian did not respond, but waited silently for the adult to continue.

"This amount of money is huge. If it were you, where would you take it out from?" Fan Xian did not explain, but instead asked Wang Qinian a key question.

Wang Qinian was shocked, and then he realized the most critical issue!
Silver notes are not equal to silver.

Silver notes were only used to facilitate their circulation in the market. It was said that the Imperial Master of the Northern Qi Dynasty opened a people's bank and invented anti-counterfeiting paper money, which had the tendency to completely replace silver.

But what really has power is always silver, and silver notes only exist on the basis of silver!

Seven million taels of silver are not enough to be withdrawn, judging from the current situation of the banks in Qing State. Not to mention whether there is so much cash, just using the silver notes of Northern Qi in Qing State will require a very troublesome process to transfer the cash.

"But do we need to transfer silver from the Ministry of Revenue?"

"Have you forgotten so quickly what happened in Kyoto before?" Fan Xian asked unhappily.

He didn't believe that Wang Qinian was so stupid. The reason he said this was simply to wait for Fan Xian to give an answer.

Fan Xian simply stated the pros and cons directly: "This money will be taken from Taiping Bank."

Wang Qinian shook his head in disbelief and said, "But if we transfer such a large amount of money from Taiping Bank, the other party will definitely be aware of our intentions."

Fan Xian glanced at Wang Qinian with eyes full of smiles and deep thoughts, and said slowly: "This is the strength of the little emperor of Northern Qi!"

"Since the assassination on Niulan Street, the little emperor has been slowly injecting money into Taiping Bank through dozens of secret channels. This took a long time and was not noticed by anyone. I don't know how many detours it took, but the money has been transferred to Jiangnan Taiping Bank!"

Wang Qinian was stunned.

"But Taiping Money House was opened by Li Bohua, the second disciple of Si Gu Jian from Dongyi City. Such a large sum of money can be hidden from everyone, but can it be hidden from Li Bohua?"

"Of course!"

Fan Xian explained with a smile: "Several million taels of silver is a lot, but if the target is the world's number one bank, then it won't seem so impressive."

It was difficult to explain the intricacies of finance to Wang Qinian, not to mention that the funds were injected from dozens of channels. It was possible to act deliberately and unintentionally with the purpose of deceiving Li Bohua.

Wang Qinian felt afraid for the first time.

Is this how these upper-class people fight each other?
It was really a long-term plan, and the killing was invisible. Wang Qinian was still a little bit unbelievable, and after a moment his expression became horrifying: "Niulan Street assassination? This means that this money has been transferred to Jiangnan through Taiping Money House more than two years ago? But how is this possible?"

"At that time, the Northern Qi emperor teamed up with the princess to kill you. How could he be so inconsistent and set up such a long-term plan?"

"This is also what amazes me!" A trace of vigilance and admiration flashed in Fan Xian's eyes. "At that time, Li Anke had not yet gone to Northern Qi. This means that all this was the young emperor's own idea!"

"Initially, the little emperor was just cooperating with the princess, and killing me was just a small matter. But the princess's eagerness made him discover something. After finding out my background, it was not difficult to analyze and judge that I would take over the Qing Kingdom Treasury in the future."

"Since I will take over the financial power of the inner treasury, I will be completely unable to coordinate with the princess. And in the Niulan Street incident, the little emperor also saw my potential and bet on me, which was just a gamble."

"Besides, even if he loses the bet, he won't suffer any loss. It's just that he won't be able to transfer the money in a short period of time."

"But if you win the bet, you can join forces with me and seize the marketing rights of the inner library."

"I guess it's because Li An joined Northern Qi that he changed his original plan. But since he doesn't value the previous benefits, he must have greater benefits to seek!"

"Forgive my rudeness." Wang Qinian apologized first, then said, "But more than two years ago, you were just an illegitimate child from Danzhou? Has the little emperor been so far away since then?"

"He went to great lengths to transfer the money to Jiangnan. He's not afraid of losing it all!"

"Yes, no wonder it was so easy to deal with the Cui family before. Fortunately, you noticed it. Otherwise, wouldn't we be led by Beiqi in the future?"

"Too smart is like a demon!" Fan Xian frowned and said, "It's not that I noticed all this, but I have been on guard against Li An. Since last year, Northern Qi has been very close to Dongyi City, and this Taiping Money House is so eye-catching. If it weren't for the help of the Supervisory Council and the Ministry of Revenue, I would not have noticed how this money got to Jiangnan."

Fan Xian admitted that he had underestimated the little emperor.

It seemed that the smuggling cooperation that he had proposed during his previous mission to Northern Qi must have been exactly what Northern Qi wanted.

Even if I don't agree, I'm sure that little emperor will use Li Ang or someone else to change his appearance to make me agree!
There are so many smart people in this world. Sometimes when you are playing tricks, you are actually falling into the tricks of others.

"Go and take them all out!"

This amount of money is huge, and once it is transferred to China Merchants Bank, we can close the deal.

"Get the boats ready, let's go by water!"

······
At this time, the city of Suzhou entered the busiest time of the year.

The Suzhou City Wharf was full of people in a hurry. Not only the shops on both sides, but also the officials from the South City had come here.

The wealthy businessmen from West City and the girls with red sleeves from East City would joke around from time to time to pass the difficult time.

This area is all the Ming family’s property.

The people here and the floating population are all porters and coolies who rely on the Ming family for their livelihood. Although their lives are hard, thanks to the large amount of goods coming in and out of the entire port, they also make money.

Once one has money, he or she will naturally pursue selfish desires and foster ambitions.

Gangs also emerged on the docks, not only dealing with wealthy businessmen, but also having contacts with government officials.

This also gave Xia Qifei, the leader of the water stronghold, an opportunity to take advantage of!
What was strange was that today, not only did the gang leaders pass on the message, but the Ming family's manager also came with a message: tell them to be quiet and honest in the near future, otherwise if they caused any trouble, they would be thrown into the river to feed the fish!
After the managers left, the coolies couldn't help but talk and whisper among themselves.

Who is this big shot coming to Suzhou?
Are you a little afraid of the Ming family's arrogance and the power of the water stronghold?
Until a big ship that looked like it was not easy to deal with sailed into the port.
