Chapter 439 Trembling

In the East China Sea, five warships cut through the wind and waves, and they were the five warships responsible for escorting Gongsun Wushang.

Gongsun Wushang stood on the side of the boat, watching the coastline gradually receding, and was filled with emotions for a moment. There are too many emotions and too complicated, Gongsun Wushang doesn't know what kind of feelings he has at this moment.

Are you proud? have! Now he serves as the Minister of Justice in the powerful and vigorous Shang Kingdom, and he has a first-class official residence. He has personally created the legal system that is now praised by the Shang Kingdom. This pride is needless to say.

Are you moved? There are too! Li Xian used five warships to escort him, this is an unimaginable honor! Just this time, it was enough for Gongsun Wushang to benefit from it for the rest of his life.

But in addition to these, there is also an indescribable melancholy.

It is impossible for him to return to Liu country forever, Gongsun Wushang is very clear. Whether it is Li Xian's kindness to know you, or Liu Guo's current environment, etc., he is not allowed to go back. Moreover, "a good horse never turns back" is applicable to almost any self-respecting talent.

What's more, the great etiquette presented by Liu Guo to receive him this time made Gongsun Wushang a target of public criticism. When he returned to Liu Guo, he would definitely die without knowing how he died!

But Liu Guo is his motherland after all, and he still has his relatives and friends there.

"The most is the hatred of people! The most is the worries of wanderers!" Gongsun Wushang said with emotion, leaning on the railing and looking into the distance.

Suddenly, Gongsun Wushang found a plane flying from the seaside of Liu State. Now Gongsun Wushang is also a master in the Nascent Soul stage, and he can easily see the approaching plane very easily.

Naturally, the plane also spotted five warships. Liu Guo Prime Minister Han Yuanchang flew out of the plane and shouted from a distance: "Liu Guo Prime Minister Han Yuanchang is visiting Minister Gongsun Wushang!"

"What a strange name!" For some reason, seeing Han Yuanchang chasing after him, this idea was the first thing that flashed through Gongsun Wushang's mind. Then, Gongsun Wushang replied, "What orders does Prime Minister Han have?"

"Liu Guo wants to buy the current five warships. I wonder if we can negotiate?"

"Ah..." Gongsun Wushang was very surprised, but thinking of the national policy of the Shang Kingdom, Gongsun Wushang did not refuse, "Please go to the deck. I will ask Commander Gao Shirong first."

This time escorting Gongsun Wushang was Gao Shirong, the second deputy commander of the navy, whose status was slightly lower than that of Hao Youcai.

However, asking a naval commander to sell the warship he just fell in love with, what is the result...Gongsun Wushang was scolded out of the command room by Gao Shirong.

Seeing this, Han Yuanchang no longer cared about the negotiating rule of not revealing the bottom line, and said directly: "We are willing to exchange the current five warships with Ziyan County in the southwest!"

"Ziyan County?" Gongsun Wushang's eyes widened immediately.

As a native Liu Guoren, Gongsun Wushang knew the specialness of Ziyan County very well. In the past, Ziyan County was a barren land, because it was close to the sea, and the south was close to Bian State (Bian Bian), which was known for its chaos. Ziyan County was sparsely populated.

However, Ziyan County has a special product - underground turbidity! Ziyan County Ziyan County got its name because there is too much underground turbidity here, and a large amount of underground turbidity evaporates, making this place look like a demon realm.

Although it looks very beautiful, the purple air is lingering, which is very similar to the legendary phenomenon of purple air rising eastward, but what rises here is the volatilized underground turbid air. For cultivators, Ziyan County is a jedi for cultivation.

But Ziyan County is very big, with a radius of more than 300 li. And today, when the Kingdom of Shang has mastered underground turbid gas, that is, the method of oil refining, Ziyan County is a treasure land!

It has long been no secret that the Kingdom of Shang was able to refine underground turbid air. That's why Liu Guo used this place to trade with Shang Kingdom.

When this price was brought up, Gongsun Wushang's heart skipped a beat!

But unfortunately, Gongsun Wushang could only spread his hands: "This matter is too big, I'm afraid I have to report to the virtuous king. And this is not within my jurisdiction, so I'm sorry I can't do anything about it."

Han Yuanchang didn't give up, "Minister Gongsun can think clearly, maybe after half a day, we will change our minds."

"I agree!" At this time, Gao Shirong, the second deputy commander of the navy, nodded, "but I can only sell you one 10,000-ton ship and three 5,000-ton ship.

We have to drive away the remaining 10,000-ton ship. These are the latest warships, and they are also our active warships, so the quality goes without saying.

Agreed, let's trade now. Disagree, I can't be too risky. "

As a qualified vice-marshal of the navy, Gao Shirong obviously knows "Ziyan County" very well.

Han Yuanchang was overjoyed when he heard that, but he agreed immediately without hesitation. This made Gao Shirong regret it - the price he gave was too high, and he would be laughed at when he went back. However, what was said was splashed out. The Kingdom of Shang attached great importance to business reputation, and he could not easily go back on what he promised.

Both parties vowed that the transaction would be completed quickly.

Even though such a hasty deal did not have the state's endorsement, it was just a "private deal between courtiers". Gao Shirong and Gongsun Wushang were not afraid of Liu Guo's repentance, and the Shang Kingdom had the confidence to protect their own interests.

As for Han Yuanchang, he was even less worried. After the oath was completed, the four warships stopped in place, waiting for Liu Guo's acceptance; besides, Shang Kingdom's business reputation was absolutely trustworthy.

For Gongsun Wushang, there was only one 10,000-ton warship, and he returned to the Kingdom of Shang with all the soldiers and an agreement.

…………

As time passed, information from all parties continued to gather at the Anyang City Lord's Mansion.

"Qi Prime Minister He Zhiguo successfully purchased Guangling County in the summer after his envoy. Shangguan Guang's family entered Qi State and continued to serve as generals. However, the former Wang family and the puppet emperor controlled by the Wang family were expelled. Only three Jiaozi, a million taels of gold, wandered with his own wealth and a few family members.

That's a lot of information! "

Li Xian squeezed his chin, looking at the news a little lost in thought.

Xu Ren looked at Li Xian's mischievous appearance, and couldn't help but asked with a smile: "You don't mean to wipe out the Wang family, do you?"

"How is that possible! I just want to inform the mercenary group and ask the mercenary group from Nanyang County to visit on behalf of Shang Kingdom."

"Then what?"

"Then...the mercenary group are all rough men, they should be impulsive. Haha..."

At this time, Li Yuanming said very seriously: "The weeds need to be eradicated. I have already notified the association, and the association will pass on the news to the mercenary group. It is estimated that the wealth carried by the Wang family is at least five million taels of gold. Enough to drive the mercenary group crazy."

I didn't want Xu Ren to see Li Yuanming like this, and suddenly frowned, "Li Yuanming, you can't do this!"

"Then what should we do? Are we going to let the Wang family go? Don't forget, the first step in the young master's rise is to kill Wang Ming with a stick.

The relationship between us and the Wang family is the same as the relationship between the Zhang family and the Yuan family in the Xiao Kingdom.

So, the Wang family, don't let it go! "

Yuan Yong was involved, so he could only express: "The Wang family really cannot let it go."

But after a short pause, Yuan Yong said again: "It is not so easy to completely eliminate a family that has developed for hundreds of years. These families are not only deeply rooted, but also hide a lot! The distribution is extremely wide!

We should first let them go and show generosity appropriately, let them develop freely, and let them reveal their hidden strength to the surface little by little. Then, it can be destroyed in one fell swoop with the force of thunder. Just like destroying Cuiyan Lake before. "

But as soon as Yuan Yong finished speaking, Yan Ze'an also spoke, with the same attitude as Xu Ren: "This matter cannot be done like this! Of course the Wang family cannot be let go, but more important than the Wang family is our reputation.

As a virtuous king respected by thousands of people, if possible, his hands should not be stained with blood. This is the iron law of being a king.

Throughout history, almost all kings who have made achievements have always been pure and bright, even if their subordinates killed people like hemp.

Not killing people with your own hands, not avenging personal revenge, is the bottom line of being a promising monarch. "

Next to him, Chen Jinbing joked: "It is not a gentleman not to take revenge!"

This sentence is the most suitable for Chen Jinbing to say on the spot. Being able to stay with Li Xian as the captain of the bodyguard is not something anyone can do!

Yan Ze'an looked at Chen Jinbing, then looked around, and said three words lightly: "Zhao Guoshan!"

Zhao Guoshan, once the governor of Luliang County, surrendered to Li Xian, but in the end he still did not escape the fate of death. But Li Xian killed Zhao Guoshan, on the surface, it was completely "for business reasons"; but if you look deeper, Zhao Guoshan was designed by Li Yuanming. And the most fundamental reason is because of the four words "cutting the grass and eradicating the root", the root of which still comes from Li Xian.

Of course, the death of Zhao Guoshan and his son is also a big reason.

When Yan Ze'an mentioned Zhao Guoshan, his meaning was very clear: As a king, revenge is of course due, but don't do it too ugly, so many people are staring at you.

Image is what a king needs to maintain most carefully and at all costs.

As a king, of course there are many things to do; but no matter what you do, you must remember one thing - your hands must be clean! In the position of a king, people all over the country, even foreigners, will look at the king with the most critical eyes!

After Yan Ze'an finished speaking, Xu Ren nodded slightly and said: "The Wang family can't let it go, but we can't act too hastily. My suggestion is that we take the initiative to express our goodwill to the Wang family and are willing to accept the current Wang family.

This has two advantages.

First, the Wang family has just been expelled by Qi State, but we take them in. This will make the young master's image brighter.

Second, the Wang family can be completely monitored, but with a little movement, we can easily extinguish it. "

Li Xian thought for a while and said, "The Wang family probably won't accept it!"

Xu Ren smiled confidently: "No, the Wang family will definitely accept it. Because the Wang family has nowhere to go! At least for the time being, the Wang family has nowhere to go. Coming to the Kingdom of Shang to develop industry and commerce is a feasible way.

As for the Wang family, what they need is this excess. In particular, our business group here not only has a bright future and a bright future for money, but also owns private soldiers and supports mercenary groups.

With these reasons, the Wang family will definitely accept our kindness. "

Li Xian still has a little doubt: "What if the Wang family develops?"

"How is it possible!" Li Yuanming finally spoke, and at the critical moment, Li Yuanming showed his wisdom, "Whether it is taxes, patents, or even quality inspections, they can restrict the Wang family.

Besides, I don't think the Wang family will be honest citizens! "

Li Xian thought for a while, and finally nodded, "Then I will send someone to convey goodwill to the Wang family."

"Don't be too proactive!" Li Yuanming stopped immediately, "We don't want to be too proactive in this matter. It's better to convey the information through the mercenary group. Just posting a small task in the Adventure and Mercenary Association is enough.

The more casual and careless we are, the more at ease the Wang family will be. And when we convey information, it is enough to just express welcome, without mentioning any conditions, let alone making any guarantees.

If we behave casually, the Wang family will think that we are just putting on a show, so they will take the initiative to bite the hook instead. "

"Okay, let's do this!" Li Xian followed good advice, although he didn't know whether Li Yuanming's suggestion was good or evil.

After discussing this, I received news from the sea that the five warships escorting Gongsun Wushang had been sold and four were exchanged for Liu Guo's Ziyan County.

This is a good thing, in fact, the five warships were originally "showcases for sale". Being able to switch to a place like Ziyan County is definitely a fortune. Not to mention, warships, Liu Guo will inevitably purchase consumables such as artillery shells in the future, and he will make money in the future.

Surprises came one after another, and finally, when the sun was setting, Zhang Hongtao came to report: "Your Majesty, everything is ready!"
