Chapter 1791 Kirin Plan!
Looking at Chen Changsheng's confident look, the prince hesitated for a moment, and finally picked up the jade slip on the table.
When he saw the contents of the jade slip, he was quickly attracted.
Chen Changsheng did not urge him, but just drank his tea slowly and waited for the prince to finish reading the jade slip.
"call!"
A quarter of an hour later, the Crown Prince breathed a sigh of relief and said, "The Imperial Master's idea is truly ingenious, but isn't it a bit of a waste of talent to waste such talent on such matters?"
In response to the prince's words, Chen Changsheng put down his teacup and spoke.
"The Kirin Project is indeed just a simple business plan."
"But I think Your Highness shouldn't take it so lightly. As the saying goes, the best strategy is to defeat the enemy's plans. To defeat the enemy without fighting is the best strategy."
Hearing this, the prince laughed.
"National Master, you are not trying to use business methods to make the Duke admit defeat, are you?"
"Yes, that's what I thought!"
Chen Changsheng interrupted the prince and said seriously, "Tie Yunpeng is so arrogant that even His Majesty can't do anything to him for a while."
"In addition to his powerful cultivation, he also holds half of the military power of the Song Dynasty."
"As long as you have this thing in your hand, Your Majesty will never be able to touch him."
"So if we want to defeat Tie Yunpeng, we must remove his military power."
Hearing this, the Crown Prince frowned and said, "Of course I understand this principle, but what does this plan have to do with removing his military power?"
“It matters. It matters a lot!”
"As the saying goes, before troops move, food and fodder must go first. The total supply of supplies is absolutely the most important thing in controlling military power."
"No matter how capable Te Yunpeng is, he only has a few dozen trusted subordinates."
"It's impossible that millions of troops are loyal to him alone."
"As the saying goes, an emperor has no hungry soldiers. Without money and food, how can he command so many troops?"
Hearing this, the prince immediately became interested.
"National Master, could you please explain in detail?"
Seeing that the prince's interest had been aroused, Chen Changsheng spoke slowly.
"The troops under the command of the Duke of Zhenguo are ostensibly supplied by the imperial court."
"But in reality, the money and food provided by the court is very limited and can only sustain some daily training."
"Tie Yunpeng saw this opportunity and recruited a lot of people."
"Because as long as you join Tie Yunpeng, you will have an endless supply of resources and money."
"It is precisely because of this trick that Tie Yunpeng is able to keep the people in the army loyal to him."
"And the money in Tie Yunpeng's hands naturally couldn't have come out of thin air. Baitong Chamber of Commerce is his biggest source of money."
"As long as the Baitong Chamber of Commerce can be destroyed, he will lose a very important support."
"Once all his support and emotions are eliminated, then Tie Yunpeng will no longer be a threat."
Looking at Chen Changsheng who was talking so eloquently, the Crown Prince narrowed his eyes and said, "Master Imperial Master, are you really so sure?"
Facing the prince's "doubt", Chen Changsheng said with a slight smile on his face.
"Half a year ago, I declared that I would wipe out the banditry in the world."
"Your Highness, you don't think that I am doing this to plead for the sake of the world, do you?"
"Looking around the world, Tie Yunpeng is in control of over 70% of the banditry."
"The existence of these bandit dens is not only where Tie Yunpeng stationed his troops, but also the secret to ensuring the Baitong Chamber of Commerce's continued financial success."
"As long as these bandits are around, the Baitong Chamber of Commerce will always be the only one in power."
"If we want to deal with Tie Yunpeng, the Baitong Chamber of Commerce must disappear. If we want the Baitong Chamber of Commerce to disappear, the bandit problem in the Song Dynasty must be solved."
After receiving Chen Changsheng's answer, the prince hesitated and said, "There's nothing wrong with this plan, but..."
"Your Highness, the little money the escort agency earns is really too little."
"If you agree to the Kirin Project, I can give you half of the profits."
"Half percent?"
Hearing the conditions offered by Chen Changsheng, the prince laughed and said, "The Imperial Master doesn't seem like a petty person, so why is he so stingy when it comes to dividing the money?"
"Your Highness, it's not that I'm stingy, it's just that there are many people waiting to get a piece of the pie in this plan."
"Half of the profits will naturally be handed over to His Majesty, because without His Majesty's approval, this matter cannot be done, and I don't want to become the next Tie Yunpeng."
"It's reasonable for Father to take half, but what about the remaining half?"
"Of the remaining 50%, 30% will be distributed to officials throughout the country. County officials should be in charge now. If they pretend to obey but secretly disobey, it will be difficult to implement the Qilin Plan."
"As for the remaining 20%, half is your Highness's, and the other 15% is mine."
Regarding the allocation amount given by Chen Changsheng, the prince smacked his lips and said, "You take 15% and I take 50%. Isn't this a bit..."
"Your Highness!"
Chen Changsheng stood up and held the prince's hand, saying meaningfully, "The half I just gave you was taken from my original share."
"To put it simply, this is His Highness's private vault."
"In addition, among the 30% distributed to officials throughout the country, Your Highness will also receive a share."
"While the Kirin Project will bring in a lot of money, the costs involved are also enormous."
"The 15% I earn not only has to keep the program running, but also to support my family. There's really not much left."
Facing Chen Changsheng's "sincere" eyes, the prince nodded slightly and said, "Okay, I'll go back and think about this matter and give you an accurate answer in a few days."
"As for the Ministry of War, I believe you won't let me down."
"Don't worry, Your Highness. I will definitely give you a satisfactory result regarding the Ministry of War."
After saying this, the prince bowed and left.
Chen Changsheng stood there and watched the prince leave.
After the prince left, Xing Piaopiao came out from the back hall and said.
"Sir, is this how you bigwigs discuss and make decisions?"
“It doesn’t feel like anything special.”
Xing Piaopiao smacked her lips and said something.
Hearing this, Chen Changsheng said calmly, "You didn't understand what was going on. That means you're not smart enough."
"If a smart person were here, he would be able to tell from what he just said that His Majesty is going to take action against the Crown Prince."
"Furthermore, your Majesty's dissatisfaction with the Crown Prince and Grand Tutor Pang has almost reached its limit."
"what?"
Hearing this, Xing Piaopiao was dumbfounded.
"No, how can you tell from these words that Your Majesty is dissatisfied with the Crown Prince?"
"I am the sword in His Majesty's hand and His Majesty's current spokesperson. Whatever I want to do is basically what His Majesty wants to do."
"The Escort Association is controlled by Grand Tutor Pang. In other words, Grand Tutor Pang controls an elite army."
"Your Majesty is very dissatisfied with this army, so he gave up the position of the Minister of War."
After getting this answer, Xing Piaopiao felt even more dizzy.
"Since His Majesty is dissatisfied, why did he give up his position in the Ministry of War?"
"And His Majesty never mentioned this matter."
