Li San kept sorting out the information sent by the secret guard, frowning deeper and deeper.
According to the intelligence, Cao Zhengyang's recent behavior has become more and more suspicious. Now he can basically determine that Cao's real purpose is to transfer silver.
”Fortunately, the secret guard has been keeping a special eye on Cao Zhengyang, otherwise something big will happen this time. "Li San's forehead is sweating slightly.
Although the secret guards were set up by the imperial court to collect intelligence and supervise hundreds of officials, with more and more territory and more officials, the number of secret guards is now quite limited.
Because of this reason, the secret guards gave up part of the supervision of the people, but focused on the important officials and generals of the imperial court. Even for Cao Zhengyang, they were not willing to send special personnel to watch.
After all, Cao Zhengyang is no more than a small figure compared with high-ranking officials.
But this little man is obviously going to do a big thing now.
"Cao Zhengyang has boarded the merchant ship to Dengzhou. He immediately informs the guards to arrest Cao Zhengyang and let them control all the businesses of the Cao family in the north. "Li San ordered that if no action was taken, Cao Zhengyang would run away.
"Yes."
Li three body side of the secret Guard commander should be a, immediately took three people out of the secret guard.
"Go to Jinling City immediately, and let the garrison of Jinling City intercept the silver." Li San said that according to the news from the other six states, Cao Zhengyang secretly transferred the silver from all the banks in the nearby county.
If the money came to Chu, it would have a serious impact on the industrial and commercial development in the north. Although Qingzhou bank can compete with Cao's, many businessmen still put their money into Cao's under Cao Zhengyang's deception.
One order after another, Li San gets up and goes to the palace. He wants to report this to Xiao Ming.
All the way to the palace, waiting outside the city for a while, he was asked to go in.
When he arrived at the imperial study, he saw Pang Yukun and Fiji were also there.
"The emperor, Fei Ge Lao, Pang Shoufu." Li saluted one by one.
Both Fijian and Pang Yukun are smiling when they see Li San. This once Royal servant has become the leader of the most mysterious secret guard in the state of Dayu.
It can be said that every official did not dare to offend him, for fear of being caught by the secret guards.
"Come here so soon, it seems that Cao Zhengyang has really had an accident this time." Xiao Ming said.
Li San said straightforwardly: "yes, the emperor, the lower official has found out that all the caojia banks in the counties around Qingzhou have the act of transferring silver, and Cao Zhengyang is preparing to go to Dengzhou, which is very unusual. In order to prevent accidents, the lower official has ordered the caojia banks to be sealed up and the caojia banks to be intercepted. "
" the Cao family is really dizzy. How dare they tear down the emperor's platform at this time. " Pang Yukun snorted angrily.
Fiji is always indifferent, he said: "in fact, it's not difficult to understand the nature of businessmen. Just as the emperor said, the businessmen are similar to nomads. Nomads live by water and grass, and businessmen live by money. Cao family went to the emperor to protect Cao family's foundation, but now they go to the king of Chu for Cao family's foundation. After all, they live by money The king of Chu has made a lot of noise. He has a great momentum to run the country together with businessmen. "
"What Fei Ge said is true, but the king of Chu was also in a hurry to go to a doctor. Businessmen were always short-sighted and only pursued the current huge profits. Perhaps they could achieve commercial prosperity for a period of time when they were in power, but for a long time, they would inevitably do nothing in the major affairs of the country because of the conflicts of interests between businessmen." Pang Yukun told us.
Since Xiao Ming opened the emperor's school, these officials also often went to listen in. Now they have a deeper understanding of the political system in the books, and they no longer stay in the backward feudal thoughts.
Xiao Ming lets the pen rotate in his hand. His eyes stop at Fiji and Pang Yukun. He is very satisfied with their progress.
He said: "I have to admit that the king of Chu is also a hero. In order to defeat me, he can put down everything. According to Wang Xuan, Lin'an is not as prosperous as Qingzhou. It is said that a parliament imitating the west is being formed, and the speaker of this Parliament is Cao Kun."
"It's strange that the Cao family wanted to shed blood for the king of Chu. The king of Chu could really do it. If this Council was equivalent to a Western parliament, wouldn't the king of Chu's rights also be restricted by the parliament, and would the king of Chu agree?" Fiji was surprised.
"The king of Chu knew that the emperor's next target was him. Compared with his life and power, which one would he choose? Moreover, even so, the king of Chu was still able to inherit the throne and enjoy glory and wealth forever. " Pang Yu Kun frowned.
After a pause, he continued: "the emperor is rich in the south, and the influence of the king of Chu has always been greater than that of the royal family for a long time. If there is a real war, the people will not stand on the side of the royal family. Last year, the Emperor's request to move the narrow and wide villages has not been effective. Many people do not want to come to the north. For this reason, there have been many incidents of violent resistance by the people 。 "
Li Sanwen nodded in agreement.
Xiao Ming got up and went to the map and looked south of the Yangtze River. "I really underestimated the king of Chu's ability to accept western culture. In the past two or three years, the king of Chu has made me look at it with new eyes."Fijian smiles. "The emperor, the Han people in the south, has another name, Hakka people. The origin of Hakka people began when the Qin Dynasty conquered Lingnan and merged Baiyue. After thousands of years, they have formed a stable big family. Most of these Hakka people do business with overseas people, and even live in Luzon, Malacca, Annan and other places. These countries established by the Han people once wanted to pay tribute to the state of Dayu Li family, the king of Chu, was originally from Fuzhou, but later settled down in Lin'an with Gaozu. However, the king of Chu has always been in close contact with Fuzhou and other places. "
" I used to be confused, but now I think these countries built by Han people are occupied by Westerners. " Said Pang.
Xiao Ming naturally knows Hakka people. They are indeed a group of people who are good at opening up, but even so, they can't dispel his will to unify the state of Dayu.
Now the king of Chu and the Cao family conspire to fight against the development of industry and Commerce in Qingzhou Prefecture. The purpose is to delay the development of Qingzhou Prefecture. Now he must smash the Cao family's plan.
It's just a pity for him that the king of Chu was very clever and didn't leave any criminal evidence for him to arrest. This time, it was also the Cao family's business to make trouble again. On the surface, he was still a loyal vassal, so he had no reason to send troops.
And sending troops in the name of cutting the vassal would cause a chain reaction of Huainan king, Yong king, Ruyang king and others, which he did not want to see.
