Chapter 1932 Stirring
Yang Qiu, a member of the Yang family, was very uncomfortable. These guys didn’t like him so much in the past. They didn’t want to care about this matter, but when they saw Yang Zhao, they thought of themselves. How can I say that I am also a member of the Yang family. If the Yang family is gone, it will not do me any good. In the past, the thing I wanted the most was that the Yang family suddenly perished. People are very strange animals. At that time, I thought so, but now that the Yang family is going to perish, I have nothing to be happy about, and I am still a little worried. When I heard him say that the imperial army has arrived, I panicked even more. 【】
The army of the Northern Empire is divided into three types, one is the Emperor's Forbidden Army, this part is also the most powerful people in combat, these people are generally in the capital, of course, if something happens, they will also come out People from Beijing, where they go, it indicates that something will happen. When they arrive in Yandong Province, the weather in Yandong Province is probably about to change. The most powerful person in Yandong Province is the Yang family. They should be Chong Seeing the Yang family passing by, Yang Qiu felt a little upset. The entire Yang family was loyal to the emperor, and now that such a result has happened, it is impossible to say that they are not discouraged.
"What he said has never been told to me, but I think the Yang family seems to have no other way out now. This time the court is increasing our taxes, and our Yang family can solve this matter through some other operations. In the past, but next time, what if they make other more excessive demands, such as dividing our fiefs? I think this situation will happen. After all, the court is very vigilant against the big nobles. If it doesn’t happen now, it will happen after a while. Now we still have some ability. If they weaken for a period of time, I don’t think we have the ability to do these things. This period of time should be It's an opportunity, if we miss it, we might lose everything." Yang Qiu looked at the problem very accurately, in fact, Yang Zhao also saw this step, but they still didn't want to believe it in their hearts , They don't believe that the imperial court will be so disregarding the kindness of years ago. The Yang family is a hardcore court. Looking at it now, power is what the emperor needs most.
"Oh, this matter can't be resolved in a short while. I think it will be very troublesome in the future. I will go back and arrange this matter, Qiu'er... you can go back and have a look when you have time." Yang Zhao knew that he Maybe he is not qualified to say this, but the Yang family is really in a dangerous situation now. If they can't get all allies, they may really be doomed. Yang Qiu must be pulled back.
Yang Qiu didn't say anything or express anything, he just went out, Yang Zhao also went out under the leadership of the housekeeper, he had to seize all the time, it would be great if the court could give him a month.
banking system, earth
This is the place where Li Cong was born, but everything here may be very strange to Li Cong now. Relying on the large number of spacecraft produced by energy groups, the earth now can be compared with the past after more than ten years of development. It's different, the total population of the earth has dropped to 4 billion people, of course, this is not a plague or war on the earth,
Instead, the energy group will pull hundreds of millions of people to Mars every year. Now Mars has become a second earth. Mars has been transformed by the energy group to be almost the same as the atmospheric environment on the earth. Li Yin can be said to have contributed a lot.
At present, the industry on the earth is doing its best to manufacture such a relatively backward thing as airships. The workers on the earth don’t know what to say. I don’t know how many times this kind of thing is backward. Now private people have airplanes. However, it accounts for a considerable proportion. Things like airships can only be seen in history textbooks, and there are no such things in other places. But now the three production lines of the energy group are going all out. The production of this thing must be done at a speed of 100 ships per day. People who produce this thing feel that the production of this thing is really too big, with a length of nearly 1,000 meters. Isn’t this kind of thing too big? On the earth, such a thing is indeed a bit big, but where Li Cong is, this scale is nothing, because it is much, much larger than on the earth.
"What exactly is Dad going to do? Why does he need to forge steel equipment? I really don't know what he is going to do. He even needs some machines for making swords. This really gives me a headache. Cold weapons have long since disappeared on the earth. , I really don’t know where I can get those things for him.” Although Li Yin is still the crown prince of the empire, everyone knows that the crown prince has supervised the country since the day the empire was established, and their emperor is in outer space. After exploring, they haven't seen their emperor for a long time. People miss their emperor very much, but the emperor has his own affairs, doesn't he?
"Hehe, Uncle has always thought differently from us. We used to think about how to get this world, but now, this world is very simple for us. The earth has become We have set a starting point for us, and we have more other pursuits. His side should be relatively backward. I think uncle wants to establish his own power there, but he doesn't want the people there to experience it once. As you know about the industrial revolution, as long as people have gone through the industrial revolution, their thinking may be different from before. This is the case on the earth. If there was no such industrial revolution in the eighteenth century *Maybe the earth is still in the original feudal era, and my uncle may also have the same idea, and we don’t know the specific situation there
, it is better not to think so much. "Richard Liang is now the prime minister of the empire. He and Li Yin are cousins, and the cooperation is also very pleasant. The point is that this guy does not have any power. Such a person is the best helper.
"People in my family say that even though I am my father's son, my brother and I may not understand my father as well as my cousin. In fact, I really want to go to my father's place to see what the world he lives in is like. Just judging from the information, it’s really not enough.” Li Yin thought of the place his father told him, and his heart surged, his younger brother Li Er had already established a huge empire on the rty planet. Well, his life there should be much better than his own, but he is better than the two of them because he has high technology here, and theirs is still very old.
"Aren't you in a hurry? Now it's different from before. In the past, we fantasized that we could hold the whole earth in our own hands. Now it's only a long time before that time. You don't know how to be satisfied. We We are about to start our next step of work. Now the Mars transformation plan is basically completed, and our hundreds of research teams have already started the research on Mars. The next goal is the moon. According to our calculations, the moon It can also be transformed into a habitable planet, but it costs a lot of money and manpower, even the money of our empire is not enough, it seems that the gold sent back by His Majesty the Emperor will be used." Richard Liang said that the gold that Li Cong obtained in some places was sent back through the teleportation array. If there is no such money, it is estimated that the transformation of Mars can only stay on paper now, not the same as now. Now there are nearly 3 billion people living on Mars, Li Yin often doesn't want to rely on his father, but now it can only be like that.
"Just use it. If you get the money, it will rust if you don't use it. I also want to see that our moon can quickly become our next goal. If my father comes back, it should be helpful to our efforts." He’s sure of it.” Li Yin looked outside and said, the air outside is much better than before, there is no polluting energy on the earth, clean energy is flooding the entire earth, the earth has entered It's a very good virtuous circle, but Li Yin feels that he can't keep up with his father more and more. He seems to be a mortal, but his father is already a god.
Now the god in Li Yin's heart is standing in the yard of his home. He is not standing there stupidly, but because a person he doesn't want to meet has come to the yard. This person is Tuoba Yuanye. This guy can say Li Cong is the only person who can be regarded as a friend in the Tuoba family. Although other people are very close to Li Cong, they are not to the extent of friends. After the prince strangled the members of the Tuoba clan together with the Magicians Guild, the Tuoba clan seemed to have disappeared from this world. Unexpectedly, Tuoba Yuanye actually arrived at his home, and it was already far away from that thing after being locked up. It's been half a year, Tuoba Yuanye came to him at this time, probably not because of that matter, that matter was also because of your Tuoba clan's wrongdoing, if you didn't want to seek Lao Tzu's assets, Lao Tzu would not deal with you Yes, you have already sold all the things to Lao Tzu, and if you want to just scoop them back, it is not such a glorious thing to tell anyone.
"I haven't seen you for a while, Mr. Cao is more elegant than before. I have been told how powerful Mr. Cao is all the way. I am afraid that my old friend Mr. Cao has already forgotten." Right?" Tuoba Yuanye didn't have any intention of blaming, he still looked the same, even the tone of his speech was the same as before, as if nothing happened in the middle.
"It's a great pleasure to have friends from afar. Mr. Tuoba is willing to come to my house. This is a great face for me. Mr. Tuoba, please come inside." Li Cong made a gesture of invitation. At that time, he definitely didn't dare to do that. Tuoba Yuanye was a ninth-level fighter, but now he is definitely not Li Cong's opponent. No matter what kind of thoughts this person has, it is impossible to do anything to him, and Li Cong felt that if he wanted to kill himself, he would never come to him directly. In fact, assassination might be easier for them to achieve their goal.
"Mr. Tuoba? Hehe, this title is too far away. If I haven't lost my mind, you used to call me Brother Mop. What's wrong? Now that the Tuoba family is gone, I don't deserve you Master Cao? You didn’t even say a word of brother?” Tuoba Yuanye said with a smile, Li Cong saw the sincerity in this guy’s eyes, Tuoba Yuanye is a person who understands things, he understands that Li Cong Under what circumstances did that decision be made? It’s not Li Cong’s fault. Tuoba Yuanye was very dissatisfied with Tuoba’s original policy, but he didn’t have the ability to stop it. He could only endure it. Well, he also warned those people not to provoke Li Cong easily, otherwise they may suffer the loss. It is a pity that there was no market for his words at that time. In their view, Li Cong was a businessman. No matter how capable they are, they can take care of this matter by dispatching two ninth-level fighters casually, but it was because of their underestimation of the enemy that they caused immeasurable losses.
"Come in, Brother Mop." Li Cong said sincerely. At that time, Li Cong was indeed angry with this guy. Of course, this was also because Tuoba didn't pay attention to things. Sincerely came, I don't have so much meaning to say, people say he is my brother, if I am still so hypocritical, it is not our character.
"Brother, since we are brothers, let's talk directly." Li Cong didn't let the other servants in, but let Gu Xin personally bring in the tea and then went out, "I want to know why brother came to me at this time What happened, I don’t know if this request is too much?” Li Cong said, indeed, his mind is very good, but he never thought why Tuoba Yuanye would come here.
"Hehe, you may not believe me if I say it. I was expelled from the Tuoba clan. Now the Tuoba clan has started civil strife. Part of it is my elder brother Tuobagui, and the other part is the young and strong faction. Both of them want They tried to win me over, but in the end, no one joined me. They just told me to leave, saying that I was unwelcome. I spent more than half of my time in the Warcraft Mountains, but recently I was tired. So I found you, and you can give me a quiet place." Tuoba Yuanye said very simply, and told what happened during this period of time in a few words, but Li Cong knew that he It will definitely be difficult for a period of time. The family who fought for him all his life has lost a lot, and in the end, his family does not need him anymore. Such a thing is not very comfortable for anyone.
Li Cong took a serious look at Tuoba Yuanye again, and Li Cong saw disappointment in his eyes. Tuoba Yuanye was really disappointed with Tuoba, otherwise he wouldn't have come to him, he Have self-respect.
"I don't care whether I believe it or not, but I don't think you care anymore. What I can tell you now is that this will be your home from now on. Since you are my brother, mine will be yours from now on." Li Cong Said, Li Cong's words touched Tuoba Yuanye's heart very much, his whole life was entrusted to the Tuoba family, once upon a time he thought that the Tuoba family was a promising family, and would be like some great families in history The family has gone on to glory. Indeed, when Tuoba occupied one-tenth of the Western Empire, the Tuoba clan really didn't have any internal struggles. Even if there was a little bit of it, it would definitely not be put on the table. Everything came to the point when the Tuoba family was forced to rebel. First, the losses were heavy. Tens of millions of family members directly became tens of thousands. In addition, the loss of Tuoba's property is even more huge. Although some of Tuoba's core assets have been sold off, which was mainly realized with the help of Li Cong, it is indisputable that the loss exceeds two-thirds. The fact is that the most important thing is that after the Tuoba clan entered the Warcraft Mountains, there was no opportunity for development at all, and the Tuoba clan could only hang out with some monsters every day, which made the top management of the Tuoba clan hardly know what to say alright.
The older generation can still remember why the Tuoba clan entered the Warcraft Mountains. It can be said that they are cautious, but the young people don't remember this at all. They think that the reason for such mistakes is because of these old people If it wasn't for their random rebellion, maybe things wouldn't be like this. Some of them even wanted to tell those in power, as long as they explained it to the emperor at that time, maybe this matter It can pass, even if it cannot be explained, it is possible to give up part of the power, at least the Tuoba clan does not need to live in the Warcraft Mountains now, all this is a good idea, the conflict between the younger generation and the old people is increasing Intensified, the future fate of the Tuoba family can be imagined, if there is no internal unity, there may be nothing.
"Thank you. I'll just hang around with you in the future. If there's anything you need to do, just ask me to do it. I'm not the kind of guy who doesn't do anything." Tuoba Yuanye said with a smile, but Li Cong I also felt a lot of helplessness from this guy's mouth, bowing my head to my former enemy, this feeling is really bad, although Tuoba Yuanye himself is a ninth-level fighter, But he knows that there is no place for him in the vastness of the world now. If those so-called friends before the Western Empire saw him, they would definitely report this matter to the Empire immediately. When the time comes, what is waiting for him can be imagined even with his feet. What was the situation, Li Cong knew from his appearance that he needed to be given some time, and Li Cong went out after arranging a place for him to live, so that a self-respecting person can say this to the maximum.
"Master, is this person looking for someone to watch?" Gu Xin was still a little worried about Tuoba Yuanye, and Gu Xin's own body was also transformed by Li Cong's elixir, although he was only a sixth-level fighter, But he can also feel that this guy is not ordinary. Many times, such a person has won the trust of the young master. This is the most dangerous thing. Who knows what they will do.
"Hehe, as long as a person like him agrees to be with us, such a person doesn't need us to have any worries. Such a person doesn't need anyone to look at him, give him half a month to rest, half a month Give him a makeover in a month, and leave the rest to me, by the way, is there any news from the black potion master?" In fact, Li Cong has been most worried about this black potion master recently. The problem is that these guys are the most deadly outlaws. The reason why they found out was because of Li Cong's relationship. Then two important people died here, and Xiaohu also went to rest because of the fight. It can be said that this paragraph Time is when Li Cong is at his weakest here. Li Cong is already under surveillance around the entire city. If there is any disturbance, he will quickly retreat. To fight against those lunatics is simply courting death, and his combat effectiveness has already been exposed. Well, if the black magic pharmacist came to take revenge on Li Cong, he would definitely be well-prepared. By then, Li Cong must have escaped death. We can't ask others not to take revenge on us, so the preparation work has to be rented.
"Master, they seem to have disappeared. Our news can be said to spread the fastest in the entire continent. According to the latest intelligence we analyze, there are two possibilities. One is that they are afraid, and the two important figures died. Those who dare not come out, the other is that they may not know that these two guys are dead. If it is the second one, we can speculate that their location is located in the Eastern Empire or the Southern Empire, because the Western Empire and the Northern Empire are already two countries. It's getting worse, even a child knows about the Black Magic Apothecary, and now the two empires haven't set off." Gu Xin told Li Cong about the analysis of the following intelligence agencies, not to mention, they This analysis makes sense. Li Cong has dealt with black magic pharmacists before. The first one is impossible. Black magic pharmacists are all lunatics, and they can't just ignore this matter.
"Just keep looking for news about this. You have to follow up on the Yang family's affairs. Let Wu Liu be in charge of the investigation. He is better at this than you. What you are better than him is The water in the capital was mixed. In the Western Empire, I saw that a rising force like us must make the whole society mess up if it wants to get its own things. If it is so simple to do things, it is impossible in peaceful times Yes." Li Cong said with a smile, indeed, if one is so stable, it is absolutely impossible for Li Cong to develop rapidly, he first started in the Northern Empire, but in fact, this There is nothing remarkable about the Northern Empire at all, but the entire Western Empire is doing very well. The current situation of the Western Empire is the best. Li Cong can almost enter the top 20 of the Western Empire. If it develops normally, it will take at least hundreds of years.
"Yes, young master, we have basically inquired about the eldest lady. That scholar is indeed a very good person, but he feels a little bit out of reach for our Cao family." Gu Xin was about to leave when he suddenly thought I just received a report about Miss Cao's family. Although Miss Cao's family is a widow, she is the object of many people's concern in the provincial capital, regardless of her color or family background. My own development at the expense of my sister's happiness had already had an unhappy start in the past, and now I can't repeat the same mistakes.
"Hehe, these two people's work is too smudged, you just keep following, don't let the lady know." Li Cong said with a smile, he himself would never interfere with Cao Yan'er's love life.
The capital, the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and the Metropolitan Procuratorate are the places where a group of censors stay. Their usual work is to chat here and get news or intelligence from everyone. It is said that they don't need to get any evidence at all, as long as they think it is necessary, they can report to the emperor, so don't look at their official ranks are not very high, but each of them is Those who have a lot of rights, of course, they are also the easiest targets for the rich and powerful to use. Most of them are bookish, and even if the rich and powerful want to use them, they will not simply use them , They were all allowed to enter that pocket voluntarily, as if it was the recent incident of the Yang family, that is, they fell into the emperor's trap one by one, and thus started such an action against the Yang family.
For the Yang family, what kind of idea the emperor really has is what people like them have begun to ponder. The Yang family is not just as simple as controlling a province. The wives or concubines of the princes and grandchildren, although the Yang family does not have much influence in the court, they are quite capable in the harem. It is said that the vestibule and the harem are absolutely separate, and the front cannot control the back The matter behind it has nothing to do with the front, but in fact it is not the same thing. The harem and the vestibule will always have some connection, just like today. Originally, more than a dozen censors were already in contact. Alright, I'm going to jointly impeach the supporters when I go to court later. A month ago, the emperor's forbidden army had already arrived in Yandong Province. If they attacked, they would soon be able to scoop up the Yang family. The court What he hesitates is whether it will be a little troublesome to treat heroes like this, what will the common people say in the future, what will the soldiers on the front line say, these are some things that are not very easy to explain.
Now the Metropolitan Procuratorate is no longer as excited as it was a while ago. After a long time, people in the Metropolitan Procuratorate have their own ideas. Some people have already started to impeach other big Nobles, as for why it became like this, it is necessary to ask them about their recent income. After Yang Zhao went back, he talked about these issues with the people of the Yang family, and they all agreed with this question, good guy Yes, he came with a large sum of money. One of the censors gave money to each other. At the beginning, the senior censor knew that it was not someone else who was going to deal with the Yang family. This was what the emperor had to do. How many brains do they have and dare to confront the emperor? That's impossible, but the Yang family didn't give money and started playing with things like kidnapping. As a last resort, they had to start participating in other big nobles. Although this matter has just begun, the procuratorate has already done so. It made this matter worse. Not only did the chief eunuchs in the palace just leave, it was also because of a small matter that His Majesty ordered them to be reprimanded by His Majesty, and it seemed that he was also dissatisfied with them.
"Hu Decai, are you full of food? The Marquis of Artai is where you can talk nonsense. What do you mean? Come on, don't listen to some people talking nonsense, this is going to be said in the court." After suppressing it for a full month, this is not one of the censors who finally started a war when everyone was here in the morning .
"Billante, this matter has nothing to do with you, right? By the way, I forgot, it seems that you collect millions of silver from the Marquis of Artest every year, and sing praises to the Marquis of Artest every year. This I must have my own real evidence for the matter. I think everyone here should be clear about how the Marquis Artest did things. You just scooped up his money. It’s better not to meddle in other things. "This man named Bilente is obviously not a good person. Both of them were born in the imperial examination, which means that both of them have no background, so they have no scruples about speaking. The people in this room It quickly turned into two factions. One faction said that the other party was randomly participating in the minister. If this caused a storm, it would definitely not be a trivial matter. It’s just about righteousness, we didn’t seek any self-interest for ourselves, and we all want to serve the empire well, so we can’t stop talking.
The Metropolitan Procuratorate has been making trouble all morning, and in the afternoon, a large number of memorials were sent to the palace. The emperor in the palace also had a terrible headache. The people of the Metropolitan Procuratorate can say that there is nothing wrong with it. No matter how they write their memorials, there is no problem. , When you don’t want to read their memorials, you can even ask the eunuchs to throw them into the wastebasket directly, because they are all people who can play tricks. Why does the emperor attach importance to civil servants and despise military officials? He just doesn’t want the status of military officials If it's too high, civil servants can't make a fuss about anything. Isn't it said that a gentleman uses his mouth but not his hands? But that's right, but the emperor can control the killing of the pen with the pen. If he really draws the sword to kill the emperor, the emperor can't control it. At that time, it will be too late to regret it.
There are more than 30 minutes of memorials here, and none of them are repeated. Damn, more than 30 nobles, large and small, with fiefdoms are all in the ranks of their impeachment. The emperor wants to deal with them one by one. He never thought about it. If you deal with them in groups like this, you must know that one of these big nobles naturally has no way to fight against the central government, but if they are pushed into a hurry and form an alliance, it will be a big deal. The policy of these nobles was also ill-considered. Now that there are so many great nobles in the empire, the emperor understands a little bit, and he is a bit radical.
"Come here, pass on the decree, and let all the nobles above stand up and defend themselves, and see if they have any rebuttals to what the censor said? It must be sent to these great nobles urgently within eight hundred miles." The emperor thought Liao wanted to say with a smile, it seems that the Yang family also has a master, the emperor guessed in his heart that this must have been done by the Yang family, I can’t scoop your Yang family into surgery, but the first step is The thing to do was originally to conscript high-ranking sailors from the Yang family, but now it seems that all the more than 30 nobles have to fight for it. The family has several billions of silver every year, and the total may be quite a lot more coming.
Li Cong also received a notice from the imperial court. Li Cong can only say that he admires the emperor's decision. He really didn't expect that the emperor's brain is not so easy to use. He quickly thought of such a method. Your emperor has already come down to inquire, how dare those big nobles do such nonsense, each and every one of them will definitely explain to themselves well, of course, they will definitely say that they want to abolish their own army and increase income. The ratio of taxes and so on, the emperor will be able to handle this matter without flying a single soldier, and these big nobles will definitely do that, because if one does that, if the others don't, they will worry about the emperor Look at yourself, no one will be that bald bird, no one is a fool these days, the emperor's brain is really beyond what ordinary people can think of, and I originally wanted to use the hands of the Yang family to take this Things got a bit muddy. I didn't expect to be suppressed by a memorial from the emperor, which even made the society more stable. I really made a mistake this time, but it was all two months later. something happened.
In order to eliminate the scruples in the emperor's heart after hearing the news, the Yang family immediately announced an order to keep the troops left behind by the emperor, and they were willing to hand over the remaining extra troops to the emperor's leadership. They would continue to pay military expenses for these troops every year. The Yang family was the first to take the lead. Originally, the emperor wanted to give a little hint to a weak noble here, but now basically there is no need to do that. It is very good for the Yang family to do this. Knowing how to do this matter, it can be said that the emperor is still very satisfied with the Yang family. Although things did not develop according to the emperor's wishes, it was better than what the emperor wanted to do.
The most regretful people are probably Li Cong and the Yang family. Li Cong came up with such an idea to make the entire empire more chaotic, but he got nothing. The Yang family sold all their needs. I found that I don't need to be so cautious, and the emperor doesn't know how to manage his own business affairs, but now there is no regret medicine, and the two of them can only find a place to be depressed.
In fact, the current development speed of Cao's Commercial Bank is already very fast, but Li Cong's success has been too fast these years. This guy doesn't have a good attitude at all. No matter what he does, he hopes to do it quickly. Done well, who knows that some things will be so haste makes waste. This is absolutely possible, and Li Cong can only use his own heart to take a good look at the next development of the Cao Family Chamber of Commerce.
At present, the airship industry must be established quickly. At present, Li Cong has a total of 1,027 airships that have been put into official flights, and 455 of them are doing business in the Warcraft Mountains. Their The profit is also the highest, followed by those long-distance airships. In the short term, there are only routes from the Western Empire. Because of the relationship with the black potion master, Li Cong has already approved the expansion plan in the Western Empire. The whole plan lasted six months. After six months, Li Cong's airship can fly to any county in the Western Empire. In fact, this is the credit of the black magic pharmacist. If it weren't for him, this matter would not be so fast.
The whole plan needs to add 1556 airships, and all of them have been delivered now. The only thing that is not easy to handle is the driver. Although it is a fool-like operating system, the staff on it needs at least three to six Months of training, this is the biggest stumbling block for Li Cong, otherwise, such a scale would have been achieved long ago. There are quite a few people who can drive airships, but there are not many people who can drive airships well. How many, since the airship was built until now, only a small part of it has had some problems, and they are all small problems without fatalities. If there are major problems due to safety issues, it will be a huge blow to the airship in the future , as long as people think this matter is a very unsafe thing, it is estimated that no one will continue to waste their energy on this thing.
Li Cong's flight students have reached a record 4,000 people. Although the number is larger, there is no relaxation in the assessment and practice. They have to go through all the procedures before they can board them. Dreaming of the airship, becoming an airship pilot has become the motto of most people here. rs! ~!
