"Who have you fought with?" I asked.
"That's too many to count," Zou Tianyi said with a bitter smile. "In Nanjiang, with so many factions fighting for territory and interests, it's a constant struggle. Our Xia Yin Bank is no exception. However..."
"What do you mean, however?" I asked.
"I believe that Lin Mautsai has some issues with his approach," Zou Tianyi replied.
"Oh?" I was taken aback. "What problems does Lin Mautsai have?"
"Lin Mautsai is too conservative in his methods," Zou Tianyi answered. "We have finally established ourselves in Nanjiang, but he is overly cautious, only holding onto this small area and not daring to expand."
"What do you know?" I laughed. "Nanjiang is located in the Central Plains, surrounded by the territories of other factions. It's not easy to expand."
"Exactly," Zou Tianyi chuckled. "Lin Mautsai just lacks the courage."
"What are your thoughts then?" I asked.
"I think," Zou Tianyi replied, "that while Nanjiang is important, it's still a small area. No matter what, it can't grow too large. Therefore, we should take advantage of our current strength and quickly expand outward! At the very least, we need to take over the surrounding counties! Once we have territory and manpower, we won't be afraid of anyone!"
"Have you talked to Lin Mautsai about this?" I asked.
"I have," Zou Tianyi answered. "But Lin Mautsai doesn't listen at all."
After listening to Zou Tianyi, I laughed.
It seems that Li Dangshi is keeping Zou Tianyi around precisely because of this ambition.
If Zou Tianyi can really help Xia Yin Bank grow, it would definitely be a force that Li Dangshi could utilize.
Unfortunately, Lin Mautsai is too cautious and has wasted such an opportunity.
“Zou Tianyi,” I said with a smile, “if I let you go back now, can you help me take down Xia Yin?”
“What?” Zou Tianyi was taken aback. “My lord, are you saying...?”
“I will let you go back now,” I continued with a smile. “You will return to Xia Yin and keep an eye on its movements for me.”
“My lord means... for me to be a spy?” Zou Tianyi asked tentatively.
“No,” I shook my head. “I want you to watch over Xia Yin for me. By going back now, you will be the representative of Daxia Market stationed at Xia Yin. I need you to tell me every day what Xia Yin is doing, how much it earns, and how much it loses.”
Zou Tianyi is not foolish; he quickly understood my intention.
“My lord,” Zou Tianyi said with a smile, “you want to gradually control Xia Yin and ultimately take it over?”
“As long as you understand,” I nodded with a smile.
"Rest assured, my lord!" Zou Tianyi exclaimed excitedly. "I will definitely help you get this done!"
Of course, Zou Tianyi was excited. He was originally an ambitious person, and now with such a great opportunity, how could he not be tempted?
However, ambition alone is not enough.
"Zou Tianyi," I asked, "what are you planning to do when you go back?"
"Um..." Zou Tianyi paused. "My lord, I'm not quite sure what you mean..."
"I mean to ask you," I replied calmly, "after you return, how do you plan to monitor Xia Yin? How will you inform me of Xia Yin's movements?"
"Well..." Zou Tianyi pondered for a moment and answered, "I can first go back to Xia Yin and then find a way to infiltrate places like the casino and the smokehouse where there is a lot of profit, helping my lord steal the account books!"
