The prince is five and a half years old, and he is reclaiming land and becoming a group favorite.

Gu Yufan crossed his arms and watched Ling Changshi's movements and fell into silence. After a while, he said, "Have you received any news from Li Yanping?"

Regarding Li Yanping, Gu Yufan thought he knew a little bit about him.

Li Yanping failed to buy salt, so he should have contacted him as soon as possible.

Ling Changshi and others shook their heads: "I have not received the news."

Although Li Yanping was a businessman, because his sister was favored in the palace and he controlled an important place like Mobei, he had always been somewhat arrogant.

Every time something happened, he discussed it directly with His Highness and never contacted them alone.

King Chu was not surprised when he saw everyone shaking their heads. He tapped the table with his hand: "Li Yanping is afraid that something happened."

Li Yanping is an extremely filial person, and his parents are both in his fief. Unless something happened to him, it would be impossible not to send him news.

After venting all his violence, Gu Yufan's chaotic mind gradually became clear and he finally discovered something was wrong.

He stood up suddenly and repeated in an aggravated tone: "There must be something wrong with Li Yanping!"

He just didn't know what happened, but he didn't even have time to send him a message!

But regardless of whether Li Yanping is dead or alive, his disappearance means that they have lost control of Mobei!

Gu Yufan thought for a while, pointed to one of his staff and said: "Jiang Ningqi, pack your things immediately and go to Mobei, find your contact person, and find out what is going on in Mobei now, whether Li Yanping is dead or alive."

He lowered his eyes slightly, and after a while he said again: "If Li Yanping is gone, you take over Li Ji Trading Company, find a way to contact Quanzhou, and you must try your best to suppress the Wen family."

Jiang Ningqi took half a step forward and wanted to say something, but before he could speak, Gu Yufan continued: "The Wen family has been developing for more than a year, and it is definitely not that easy to deal with. It's up to you, whether it is overtly or covertly, we must To destroy it!”

Only by completely destroying the Wen family can his Liji Trading Company have a chance to make a comeback.

If something happens to Li Ji Trading Company, for Gu Yufan, it will not just be as simple as losing control of Mobei, but also the money he needs most!

There will be a battle between him and Gu Yuchen sooner or later, but the Mobei Army has not yet been fully taken under his command. It can be said that except for a hundred thousand naval troops, he has almost no troops at his disposal.

If he had to go head-to-head with Gu Yuchen at this time, he would only lose!

He had already planned to double the navy, and the money spent on raising the army was a bottomless pit!

The exposure of the Huizhou Salt Farm and the decline in profits of Mobei Trading Company have already caused him a lot of losses.

Therefore, he must use extremely tough methods to snatch back the market in Mobei!

Jiang Ningqi looked a little ugly.

He was a staff member. Although he did not serve in the imperial court, he studied hard and was a scholar.

Now he has to be sent by His Highness to do business as a merchant. How is this possible!

He subconsciously wanted to refuse: "Your Highness, minister..."

Before he could say the rest of the words, he was pulled hard by Ling Changshi. When he looked up, he saw him shaking his head slightly at him.

Jiang Ningqi suddenly broke into a cold sweat.

Gu Yufan didn't seem to notice: "In addition to suppressing the Wen clan, we must also bring back the Mobei Army. Tell Bai Jiwu that I have given him two years! If he can't control it a year ago, The Mobei Army is at my disposal, so let’s replace the position of the general of the Mobei Army with someone else!” He has given Bai Jiwu a lot of money in the past two years, but once the money is sent, he must see some results.

He's not a victim who doesn't expect anything in return!

Jiang Ningqi lowered his eyes and thought for a while: "If I remember correctly, Bai Jiwu just communicated with His Highness through letters some time ago, saying that the morale of the Mobei Army is currently unstable. Not only are the soldiers not convinced, but also those who were originally not convinced by him. The generals have all united to deal with him during this time."

Gu Yufan naturally knew this, but he was more inclined to believe that Bai Jiwu was taking the opportunity to ask for money.

He raised his hand to interrupt Jiang Ningqi's words, and said in an unquestionable tone: "If he still can't convince the public after two years, it means that he is indeed not suitable for this position."

Jiang Ningqi glanced at Ling Changshi without any trace, and understood that His Highness was anxious and wanted to finally force Bai Jiwu.

Although he is not a military commander, he also knows how simple the minds of those warriors are.

Many of them have followed Huo Qiyuan for many years. No matter how the court believes that Huo Qiyuan has committed a crime, they only recognize Huo Qiyuan in their hearts. It is normal for Bai Jiwu to have difficulty conquering everyone.

He wanted to give a few reminders, but seeing His Highness King Chu's expression extremely ugly, he lowered his eyes and stepped back again.

Gu Yufan didn't know what Jiang Ningqi was thinking at this moment, and even if he knew, he wouldn't care, because there was an unreasonable sense of urgency in his heart, urging himself not to wait any longer!

Gu Yufan originally thought that if the water flows slowly, if it doesn't work in two or three years, then in six or seven years, even with money, he can bring all the Mobei Army to his side.

But who would have thought that such an accident would happen to Gu Yuzhi!

Time is too short. Huo Qiyuan is still suffering in the Xinliang Iron Mine. Those warriors will not submit if they are not willing to submit. As long as he can get half of the military power of the Mobei Army, the chance of success will be much greater!

He had planned to go to war with Gu Yuchen as soon as he got half of the Mobei Army's military power!

Gu Yufan thought for a while and looked at Ling Changshi: "Ling Changshi thinks which salt field will the Wen family go to?"

Ling Changshi thought for a while and said, "It should be Linzhou."

The salt field in Linzhou is the first salt field after leaving Beijing. Generally, several northern state capitals go to Linzhou to get salt.

Gu Yufan shook his head and said, "I think they will come to Huizhou."

If Wen's was just an ordinary trading firm, it would definitely choose Linzhou, but Wen's boss is Gu Yuzhi.

Gu Yufan leaned back slightly, looking particularly relaxed: "Gu Yuchen transferred the people from Jiangnan to Xinliang, and I asked someone to investigate. The few people following Xiao Liu were all Gu Yuchen's staff before. "

When he thought of this, the feeling of being deeply deceived suddenly emerged in Gu Yufan's heart.

No wonder Gu Yuchen, a treacherous villain, insisted on sending Xiao Liu to Mobei last year even if he was threatened by the censor to commit suicide by hitting a pillar.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, he placed his men openly in Mobei, and when he was unaware, he removed his power bit by bit!

When he thought of this, the violence that Gu Yufan had finally suppressed slowly rose again, and his eyes were filled with murderous intent.

He raised his eyes and looked at Jiang Ningqi, and said word by word, his tone was cruel and bloodthirsty: "I will give you another task. I will kill all the followers around Xiao Liu, whether they are Chang Shi or Dian Yi..."

He emphasized: "Leave no one behind!"
