Chapter 171 Sending Letters
Whether it was Siyue Hall or his Qianlong Hall, the gambling houses they opened and the large amounts of gambling money they used basically came from the gold notes of the Iron Blood Alliance.

Because of this, Situ Wanli was well aware of the horror of the Iron Blood Alliance. The apparent power of a country's royal family could control a country, but the power behind it was naturally not something that any princes or generals could challenge.

It was at this time that Situ Wanli truly understood where Han Yu's confidence came from in challenging Ji Wuye head-on and killing the prince.

"The Fourth Young Master has said so much. If Wanli backs down again, it will not be pretty. I just don't know what the Fourth Young Master wants Wanli to do."

Han Yu paced a few steps.

"Among the various schools of thought, the Taoists are detached from the world, the Mohists love all and do not attack, the Confucians cultivate themselves and manage their families, the military strategists join the army, the Legalists reform, the philosophists are good at debate, the doctors provide relief, the yin and yang are mysterious, and the agriculturalists are good at maneuvering."

Han Yu smiled at Situ Wanli and said, "The land of the Nong family benefits all things. There are 100,000 disciples, most of whom are upright and chivalrous. There are many masters in the sect, and there are many wandering knights and hermits, which is no less than the famous Confucianism and Mohism in the world today."

Facing Han Yu's flattery, Situ Wanli just smiled. Family members know their own business, and farmers are just like that, mostly poor and destitute, and cannot compare to Confucianists and Mohists.

"The Fourth Young Master wants to use Wanli to get the Nong family to help the Fourth Young Master fight with Yemu Ji Wuye for the Tangxi Sword Workshop in Xiping?"

Han Yu remained calm and said, "If the farmers can help me take over Xiping Tangxi Sword Workshop, I can promise that 10% of the weapons produced by Tangxi Sword Workshop every year will belong to the farmers."

Situ Wanli's heart skipped a beat. He never expected Han Yu to be so courageous.

Han Yu smiled in his heart when he saw Situ Wanli was stunned.

Even if only 10% of the weapons produced by Tangxi Sword Workshop were produced annually, it would be enough to equip hundreds of people. He had been looking for the Nong family for a long time, which was also the fundamental reason for his friendship with Situ Wanli a few years ago. The Nong family's headquarters was in Daze Mountain in the land of Qi and Lu, thousands of miles away from Han, so he was not worried about aiding the enemy.

The most important thing is that he is extremely short of experts. He has many people at his disposal, but there is no top expert, which makes him always feel uneasy.

Although it only takes a thousand fully armed soldiers to surround and kill a top master, that is on the surface. On the dark side, a top master is enough to assassinate most of the princes of various countries.

Combined with the intelligence he gathered, Blood-Cloaked Marquis Ji Wuye was indeed a top master. Even if he was only in the lower tier among the top masters, he was not something his adopted son could resist.

It is true that he and Ye Mu are cooperating, but he knows better than anyone what Ye Mu is. As long as he shows weakness and lacks power, he will be completely wiped out by Ye Mu.

Compared with in-depth cooperation with Yemu, he believes that cooperation with the Mohist School, one of the various schools of thought in the underworld, is a better choice.

Not only can it provide experts, but it can also increase one's influence, especially some talents, which are even more rare.

If he had not been able to come into contact with Confucianism and Mohism, and if the Legalists had not secretly respected Han Fei, he would have definitely chosen Confucianism and Mohism without hesitation, especially Mohism.

Unfortunately, after the Mohist School was divided into three parts, they were either in Chu, Qi, or Qin, leaving him with nothing but envy.

Situ Wanli came back to his senses and became a little excited.

If the cooperation with Cheng Jiao allows him to take the position of the leader of Siyue Hall within two years, then with Han Yu as a link, he is confident that he will take the position of the leader of Siyue Hall after the new year. No matter what era, there are always some things that cannot be bought with money, such as the weapons promised by Han Yu, which are not only swords, but also hard currencies such as armor, bows and crossbows.

But reason told him that good things don't come easy.

"What does the Fourth Young Master want? The Farmer Family has 100,000 disciples. If the Fourth Young Master is short of manpower, you can just tell Wanli."

Han Yu shook his head slightly: "I have no shortage of manpower, but I lack top masters. Master Situ should know what a top master can do, right?"

Situ Wanli took a breath. He didn't expect Han Yu to say that he was a top master. He really thought this thing was cabbage! As far as he knew, the top masters of the Nong family were only three of the six elders who had just entered the Six Sages' Tomb. The chivalrous leader Tian Guang, according to rumors in the hall, the head of Lieshan Hall Tian Meng and the head of Chiyou Hall Tian Hu could enter the ranks of top masters in one or two years. There were also Chen Sheng and Wu Kuang from Kuiwei Hall. They had the strength of first-class masters at a young age and were expected to enter the top ranks within ten years.

Even if the entire farm was searched thoroughly, there would be no more than five top masters.

How could such a powerful master come to work for Han Yu, especially since Han Yu was just a prince of the royal family and not a crown prince, even if he was in charge of the Iron Blood Alliance of Korea and even if he had 10% of the weapons and armor produced annually by Tangxi Sword Workshop?

"I'm afraid this will disappoint the Fourth Young Master. The Farmer's Hero Leader is very busy and may not be able to do what you wish."

Situ Wanli knew his own limitations and thought it was humiliating to ask the chief elder of the Farmers' Clan to help a young master.

Han Yu was not disappointed and said with a smile: "It's okay. I am not asking the hero to do things for me. I just need him to come and help me at the critical moment. I hope that Master Situ can deliver a letter for me and help me speak well of him in front of the farmer's hero."

He naturally understood that it would be very difficult to get the chief farmer to help him, but he had to take things step by step. If he could borrow some top-notch experts before that, he would be satisfied.

Situ Wanli naturally would not refuse this easy task.

After taking the letter that Han Yu had prepared long ago, he stood up and said goodbye.

Han Yu watched Situ Wanli leave and whispered instructions to Han Qiancheng.

"Su Feng, the deputy commander of the West Gate Guard, colluded with Baiyue Tianze and was executed immediately."

Han Qiancheng clasped his fists and retreated, understanding that his adoptive father wanted to clean up the mess for Situ Wanli, or in other words, to curry favor with him.

Situ Wanli took a carriage to Qianlongtang's base in Xinzheng, and Tian Mi reported calmly.

"Master, Tianze has been placed, and the spices used for tracking have been applied to the cash box."

Situ Wanli nodded: "You did a good job, no wonder Chang'an Jun was fascinated and used by you."

Tian Mi suppressed her speechlessness and smiled reservedly, "Tian Mi did not charm Master Cheng Jiao, let alone use him."

Situ Wanli did not comment, but asked: "Where is Zhu Zhong?"

Tian Mi was stunned, not knowing why Situ Wanli asked that bootlicker.

"He went back to the farm to deliver a letter to Tian Meng, the head of Lieshan Hall, on my behalf."

Situ Wanli frowned slightly, and he was also ready to let Zhu Zhong deliver the letter.

"Why did you ask him to go back to the farm to deliver the letter? Don't you know that he is the adopted son of Zhu, the head of Shennong Hall? I was entrusted by the elder brother of the Zhu family to help Zhu Zhong accumulate some experience. How are you going to explain this to the elder brother of the Zhu family?"

Tian Mi's heart tightened, and she said in a weak and pitiful voice: "Master, you misunderstood. I didn't ask him to deliver the letter. He took the initiative to ask to help me."

Situ Wanli sighed in his heart, another young man who was bewitched and used by Tian Mi. But it was okay, such a Tian Mi was indeed worth his bet on her, maybe she could give him some unexpected surprises.

He is not interested in women, and Tian Mi's methods of dealing with men are of little use to him.
