Section 2274: Make a Game

Many times, many things are not as simple as you think. Just like now, the militia has been established smoothly. Of course, the construction of the Eastern Empire is faster, mainly because of the financial situation of the Eastern Empire. Better yet, His Majesty's private expedition team discovered a huge gold mine on the sea. His Majesty the Emperor himself took out 1.5 billion gold, which is 15 billion silver when converted into silver. His Majesty the Emperor said that this money can All of it was used to aid the construction of the militia in the entire empire. Now the militia is in a preliminary stage, so there are not so many. At the beginning, the money was already all the emergency funds. I feel that His Majesty the Emperor is much better than the people from the other two empires. At least he is not a shopkeeper who throws his hands away. If the people from the other two empires were replaced, they might really do such a thing. Well, when they do things, they don't think so much. They just think about what they will get after the establishment of the militia. After taking action, officials from all over the country have received another job, which is to spend all their spare time monitoring the militia. Every move of the militia needs to be reported to the above. In fact, this is also normal. The main reason is that the militia can be said to be the second force besides the imperial army. If this cannot be completely controlled by oneself, it is estimated that the two emperors will sleep at night No, they are not fools. I know how many ambitious people there are in the country. In the past, even if they had that kind of thought, they would not have that opportunity, but now it is different. I have created such an opportunity for them. At the same time, I have to guard against those ambitious people in the country. My life is really hard. In fact, there is no way to do this. Since I want to be the emperor, then all of this It's all something you have to bear. If you don't have that ability. Don't come to be the emperor as soon as possible. It is better to let someone else be the emperor. Just like what I said now, there is nothing wrong with being honest. Many people in the militia are quite dissatisfied with this. We formed an army to defend our country. We contribute money and efforts to produce people, but what have we gained in the end? The seat of the boss is all your royal family members, it can be said that we have nothing. That's not enough, you have sent so many people to monitor us, why can't we see you come to help us when we have no money to develop? But now that we have just achieved such a small amount of results, you have come out to do such a thing. Many scholars feel that the empire has gone too far in this matter, but they are all eroded by the idea of ​​​​loyalty to the emperor, so no one They will feel that this matter should be said, and they all have such thoughts in their hearts. They read books to laugh at the empire. This empire belongs to the emperor, so as long as they do things for the emperor, they are serving the empire. It is because of this kind of thinking that they obey the orders issued by the top of the empire, and they don't want the militia they proposed to become the weapon of some ambitious people. This is something they don't want to see.

Compared with them, the practices of the Eastern Empire are much gentler. The emperors of the Eastern Empire are not fools, but they are much more covert than the emperors of the Western Empire and the Northern Empire. They did not directly order local officials They came out to do this, but the government paid so much money, can't they send one or two officials to see how the money is used, of course,

They don't all go to see money, they also have other things, for example, they will do some things they like, look at some constructions in the barracks, watch some activities of the soldiers, talk to the soldiers To put it bluntly, they are looking for information, but they have their own reasons. How can they know so many things if they don't visit them? What if all the money is taken away by the generals, and the soldiers of the Eastern Empire also like these people who come down to check, and they will give the soldiers a little benefit from time to time, those careerists below Although you want to oppose this, there is no other reason. Of course, you can push out the money and tell the empire directly that we have enough money here, and there is no need for people from the empire to come in. This kind of words is relatively tough. If this is the case, the people of the empire will naturally have no excuse to go in, but this is also the most dangerous part of the people. The empire will let more people come to watch you. They don't want this. If this kind of development continues, no one would hope that there will be some unstable factors within their empire, but an organization as huge as the militia cannot always wait for the people from Cao's Commercial Bank to attack before it can be effective. So the Ministry of War of the Eastern Empire formulated a plan. Didn’t the troops of the Cao’s House of Merchant have just begun to station, and the militia members could be allowed to conflict with them? If so, wouldn’t it be possible for the militia members to have something Doing it, at the same time, it will also let the people of the Cao's Commercial Bank deal with these things, at least not let them continue to develop so happily. This is not in the interests of the empire. Everyone feels that this method is good. Anyway, the militia It was made to fight against the people of Cao's House of Commerce. Right now, this matter is the first thing to do, and a series of things will happen in the future. At that time, these things will be more fun, and this will not happen. They will also do very good things, but how to handle this matter is still a very serious matter, we must carefully grasp the scale, and we must make the two of them quarrel because of this matter, but this The scale must still be limited, and now the people of Cao's House of Commerce like to sign some contracts with people from the three empires every now and then. This is a very terrible thing. You must know that every contract can be said to be bloody, and it will cause you to suffer huge losses, so you don't want to let your side confront the people of Cao's Commercial Bank head-on, because the people on your side They really don't have that ability, and it's better to be honest, otherwise, if a huge war starts like that, they can't bear it. Who doesn't know that the military power of Cao's House is developing rapidly , Their other empires, even the Eastern Empire, don't have much strength to develop their military now. Now we can only put this matter down first. It's better to be honest, and it's better not to mess around.

After three or four days of research, the ministers of the Eastern Emperor's Ministry finally chose a place where their forces were basically in balance with those of the Cao Family Firm. This place was located in the southeast of the Eastern Empire. . It is about 120km away from the county town occupied by Cao's House. The distance to the nearest city controlled by the court of the Eastern Empire is about 80km. But because of the roads pruned by Cao's House of Commerce, there is a close relationship with the city of Cao's House of Commerce. After all, Cao's House of Commerce has more rare things. The reason why their city develops so fast is because the people here deliver the goods from Cao's House of Firm to them for sale, and about one-tenth of the customers in the entire empire buy from these people. , In fact, there is no way to do this. Any businessman wants such a thing as direct trading with Cao's Commercial Bank, but Cao's Commercial Bank stipulates that they must reach a certain level before they can directly trade with them. At this time, You need these partners to be more powerful, especially when it comes to funds. If your funds are not good, the people from Cao’s House will never have anything to do with you, although money can’t represent anything in this world Yes, but money can indeed do a lot of things, many things weapons can't do, but money can do it, this is to choose your own partner, and it may be your own comrade-in-arms in the future, so Cao Cao People in a commercial firm naturally have to be extra careful, and will not randomly find someone to do it. Because this city is in such a position, it can be said that it is a place with a very developed economy, but the public security is not very good. The main reason is that this is a place where no one cares. The people of the Cao’s Commercial Bank here are all under the management of the highest institution here, and the people of the Eastern Empire are under the management of the government, but most of them The common people don't like to go to the yamen of the Eastern Empire to do business, because they feel that it is too inconvenient there, and most of them have to go to Cao's business to do business, but this matter also needs to be classified. People from a commercial firm can be the head of the household for you, but if you have a registered permanent residence, you can’t. This kind of thing is not so easy to solve. After all, this is a society ruled by law. I chose this city because it can be said to be a relatively neutral city. In the city, no matter what happens, it can be grasped, and there will be no big storms over there, and it is the same here, and it is because of these reasons that everyone here does things very well. They are positive, and they all know that they may be the first front to fight against the people of Cao's House, so they are all ready at almost the same time. After receiving the provocative order from above, the members of the militia I couldn't sit still anymore. If their chief hadn't pulled me over, I guess those of them who haven't had this ghost training for a few days will have a friendly battle with the people from Cao's House. If it's true, then At the beginning, it is estimated that these people may all be killed. Such a thing will not work. The militia here is the painstaking effort of the three major local families. For the local famous families, as long as they really match up, this matter has nothing to do with other people, it is the matter of both of them, and they must be able to do such a thing .

Today is exactly a big noon. Although the sun is very bright, many people here feel very cold. If there is a thermometer, you can see that the temperature here is already below zero. At twelve o'clock noon, the garrison of Cao's Commercial Bank and the militia will come here to patrol. This is also the only one in the whole city where the army of Cao's Commercial Bank and the militia have direct contact. As long as the people of Cao's Commercial Bank go anywhere No matter whether it is the members of the militia or some other organizations, they hope that they can have a relationship with such a business firm, but Li Cong doesn't have so much time to greet these people one by one. He still has his own work to do. This work is not ordinary, and he needs to think a lot about himself. The militia members have come to two activists in the past two days. These two guys came from morning to I haven’t closed my mouth now. The things I talk about are basically caused by the Cao’s business. It’s not that their employees are not doing well here, or that what they did is too much. They said It has been a long time, but it is a pity that these ordinary people are obviously not willing to take care of these things. They probably have their own affairs. It's okay to let them come and listen to this, but if you want to make trouble together, then I'm sorry, if you are all regular troops. This thing might work out. But speaking of which, you are all a mob. There is nothing good about this matter, "Damn, what the hell is going on with these bastards. How many times have I told them that the thing they said must never be done, and told us to find Cao It is not a question of how much money is involved in the business of the family business. If this matter really rages, the brothers will lose their heads. Although they joined the militia at the beginning to serve the empire on the surface, but in fact It's not that we need the little wages they give us. There's no need to lose our heads for such a little money. Damn it." A small leader of the militia said that these people were assigned by the superiors to take care of them, and all their actions in the barracks were approved, and they couldn't say anything indiscriminately, even if they wanted to complain The words can only be said in the corner, otherwise it will be a question of talking about the superior, and then their lives will not be very easy. The deputy captain next to him also whispered, "Brother, wait I think something will happen later, this matter is not a trivial matter, we brothers had better not get involved in this matter, if something really happens, we can't keep our heads, we can all They belong to some small people. I think these people are not small. They come to make trouble. The garrison of Cao's House is different from us. We are a mob, although there are many more people than others. But it’s really noisy, hehe, we probably won’t be able to make it through a rendezvous.” The captain nodded when he heard this, they are both veterans, so naturally they wouldn’t fall for such a thing Yes, both of them understand how difficult this matter is. If they really get into trouble, just see how these little bastards deal with it. What they don't know is that they just want to make more people here die. .

Speaking of it, those stunned youths would do such things, and some more powerful people would never do such things. They all knew that they were just a small character, and there would be no other gains at all. It is because of the current situation that these people have seen the future fight one by one, and they are doomed to fail. Those who participate are all those who have no ability, and basically those who have ability will not go. How can man possibly beat those people? What about the people from Cao's House who are like wolves and tigers? It's just farting, the weather today is very good, the whole county is the same as other days, it has started to be alive early, and none of these people feel that there is anything wrong today , in fact, what’s the matter with ordinary people, just live their lives if they have nothing to do, those big things have nothing to do with us, many people don’t care much about these things, in their opinion, they can do whatever they like So, as long as it doesn’t interfere with my life, it’s already 8 o’clock in the morning. Before this time, the members of the militia would start morning exercises, but now none of them have the original voice. The common people around all curled their lips in disdain, but what they said was pleasant. They trained with people from Cao's House, and even the time was the same. This **** is lying, who doesn't know that you people are going to The ones who dawdled just went there for the one tael of silver and food and housing. Of course, it’s not bad for only one-third of a month. After all, many people in this world can’t get it in a month. As for a tael of silver, speaking of them, this thing is similar to a part-time job, and they have to be there only four days a month. Other times, they just let things go, and they can forget about things when they have nothing to do. They are very clear about such things. These people are not very active in doing things one by one. As for the officers who are found out, they basically look like this Yes, the training is just pretending. Today, the members of the militia are in the rooms of their base, and many people are listening to a person giving a speech there. That guy is saying impassionedly at the moment, "In the past What does our empire look like? It is definitely very powerful, but look at what our empire has become now? Almost like the Southern Empire, it has become a subsidiary of the Cao Family Firm. Look at our usual You know what you do. We have no other way at all. The army is already rotten. We are all good men. We will do what others dare not do. We will go out from today We have started to publicize to our common people. We want to publicize that they are boycotting all the industries of Cao’s House of Commerce everywhere. As long as we can do this well, the foundation of Cao’s House of Trade will basically be gone, and they It’s different from the empire. The empire has taxes, and there will be income no matter what, but the Cao’s business has no income, so their army will not be able to persist, and in the end they will have no income. The ability to attack has been improved. In the past, direct military confrontation with our empire has also been done. Not only our empire, but other empires have also done it, but they have all failed. What we are going to do now is considered Everyone should understand the most important thing." The guy said loudly.

The people below are only the people in the row in front who listen very seriously, because these people are the so-called more loyal people. There will always be some such passionate people in this militia, and they feel This person's analysis is very correct. The people of the Cao's House probably relied on their strong economic strength to build such a powerful navy and army. Even their airships were developed because of this. People seem to have found the gate of life of Cao's business. In fact, many people have seen where the gate of life of Cao's business is, but these things are not so easy to get. I can see it, but how to ban it? These are things that the Cao's Commercial Bank can prohibit them from, but they have no way to impose any decent economic sanctions on the Cao's Commercial Bank. The most important thing that the Cao's Commercial Bank has is food, and this person can't help but eat food. The food from others is very expensive, that is, the ones made by Cao's Commercial Bank are relatively cheap. No one will go to others to buy high-priced food for the sake of patriotism. Besides, the food from others is not as good as Cao's. The taste here is good, and the other one is those so-called mercenaries. When they do things, they also want to maximize their own interests. It can be directly exchanged for the bank notes of Cao's Commercial Bank, which can be used in the whole mainland, no matter where you are, such a thing is of course very good, and some other trading houses do not have such a thing. That's right, they are all using some tickets from Cao's House. These people have already determined what they are going to do today. Today happens to be a temple fair in their city. There will be many people there. They These more than a thousand people are going to expose the "evil deeds" of Cao's firm at the temple fair. Such things will also bring a lot of effects to the common people. Of course, all of this is foreseen by them. What will really happen at that time, this is not something we can consider, it is better to be honest, it is better not to be so violent in the end, these people can be regarded as practical actions, and they are already preparing After going out, the Cao’s House of Commerce is not very clear about all this. After all, there are so many activities of the militia, and it’s impossible for me to keep watching. Besides, the people of Cao’s House of Commerce are going to do something at the temple fair today. Yes, for example, donating some things to many people, giving some clothes to the homeless, these are all good deeds, and they must be done to make their own signs. This is what Li Cong left behind at the beginning Only in this way will people in the society feel that this is a conscientious enterprise. Don’t big families often do such things, but they do it twice and the rest is not so much Just do it, and these people also have very good thoughts in their minds. Anyway, these things can’t be done all the time, it’s good to just do it once or twice to look good, but the people in Cao’s Commercial Bank can persist. Of course, the money spent is definitely not a small amount, but However, it has gained a good reputation among the common people. The money spent is definitely very valuable. Many people also think this is good, but some people feel that they are just for show, but success can be regarded as A very good thing. Just hot eyes.

This temple fair is quite famous in the local area. Some people in the entire county city are going to come here. Of course, ordinary people in the city can come here, but those who are far away may not necessarily come here. Those from other counties and towns also come here from rich people. After all, the transportation fee may not be a small amount. But the people of Cao's House of Commerce took advantage of this. For example, there were carriages of Cao's House of Trade before the seven counties under the county seat. Cao's House of Trade stipulated that there would be ten people during the temple fair. Come for free. That’s all for the top ten every day, and if you come to the temple fair for the rest, you can bring the shopping coupons of Cao’s Commercial Bank. I got it here, I have never encountered such a thing before, these people are not fools, of course they are willing to come and see, this kind of thing only happens once in several years, if this happens once If so, you can have a good talk with those people in your hometown, and you will have the capital to brag, right? Anyway, you need to buy food and so on, so why not make it right? Sooner or later, you have to buy such things. It’s not bad to take this opportunity to go to the city to see, a series of People are very good at doing things, and they all know what the Cao's firm is trying to do. The people from these militias came here today to talk about the economic harm of the Cao's firm. There are at least 100,000 people here. Damn, how could so many people come here all of a sudden? These people don’t know what to say about them. They don’t even understand this truth very well. But this is already a glimpse of the propaganda war on the earth. Many people surrounded it, and a guy stood on the stage and said loudly, "Fellow folks, the reason why our militia was established is to prevent Cao's firm from attacking You don’t know about our invasion. In the occupied area of ​​Cao’s House, those people are living in dire straits. Their lives are not ordinary hardships. They want to be able to eat enough every day. Don’t think that the Cao’s House of Commerce is giving you a little favor now, so you feel that they are good to you. In fact, these are some incorrect things. These people are not what they are in front of them in normal times Yes, they are double-faced in everything they do, and they are trying to win you over, but once they enter the scope of their rule, these people will lose their conscience. The former Southern Empire was very powerful, except for us The Eastern Empire and the others are considered good, but now look at what they have become, they are almost becoming affiliated with Cao's House of Commerce. This is definitely not alarmist. The empire carried out a series of road construction plans. Many people there were taken away for free, and they were given a little food every day. It is said that tens of thousands of people were killed or injured every day. Their roads were good, but that They were all piled up with human blood..." These people are just talking nonsense here, and these people among the people have never been to the Southern Empire, and they all heard about the same thing. The common people basically love the people of the Cao's House of Commerce. After all, their life in the empire is pretty good. After the Cao's House of Commerce came, they were not very comfortable.

However, as the Cao's House of Commerce began to take root in the Eastern Empire, these people also knew how great the Cao's House of Commerce was to them, and each of these people felt that their lives were really getting better , but when they heard how Cao's House of Merchant treated some of their common people, my good fellow, these people are all excited at this time, the person who spoke saw that this was about to succeed, At this time, as long as you take the lead, you can immediately follow others to fight with the people of Cao's Commercial Bank, and you can directly smash the property of Cao's Commercial Bank to nothing, but will such a thing happen? ? There are still many people who can see clearly the little tricks of the militia, and there is no need for people from Cao's House to come forward. There will be a few sensible people among the common people, no, there is a retired soldier who stood up to speak, and this guy said, "Why is what you said different from what I encountered? You must know that I was in Cao Cao at the beginning. I stayed there for a long time because our empire was defeated. Although they didn't treat me very well, they couldn't be said to be very bad. They asked me to work for them because I had time. Although I am a little tired. But it is not as difficult as you said, and they all pay me according to the number of days, which is a little more than those who work here. Of course. I can’t talk to Cao’s House But compared with the coolies in our empire, it is still very good." After this guy finished speaking, several people immediately echoed him. After all, Cao's House is already a big force in the Eastern Empire, and there are quite a few people who eat with them. Now these few people want to talk about this matter. The members of the militia cannot be allowed to vilify the Cao's House of Commerce so much. If the common people are disgusted with the Cao's House of Commerce, this matter will really be difficult to talk about. There will really be a lot of things that will happen, and they all know that right now Regarding this matter, the two sides immediately started arguing. A good temple fair made them look like this. The two sides were very reasonable at the beginning, basically they would not do anything, even if they did it The words were all very cryptic, but just when they were fighting against each other, a guy from the militia was screaming fiercely, and a crossbow arrow came from nowhere and shot the guy to death. A big thing happened this day. You must know that it’s okay to die one or several people on the battlefield, because that place will harvest people’s lives, but it’s not on the battlefield now. In the military camp at the rear, many people would feel uncomfortable when something like this happened, and they are not fools. It seems that someone is making a fool of this matter, and some important people hurried away. Are you kidding? Oh, the people from the Cao’s House will never kill the people from the militia on such an occasion. They are originally two opposing organizations. Unless all the people in the Cao’s House are crazy, otherwise they will never let If such a thing happened, they would not do such a thing. Besides, there are no military personnel from Cao's house here, so how could there be anyone? Even if you want to kill someone, there is no need to use the serial crossbow in your hand to kill someone on such an occasion. This matter can be said to be full of loopholes, but there is no problem. The militia will not consider these things now. What matters is how to erupt this incident. As for what this incident will look like, this is not a question we need to consider.

"Brothers, have you seen it? These are the people from Cao's House of Commerce. They are all insidious villains. Today, the brothers of our militia died like that. Can we bear it? That is impossible, if If we can endure this kind of thing, we will not be men anymore. This must have been premeditated by the people of Cao's House, brothers, fight with them and avenge our brothers." These are some young people , are also some bloody people, as long as they come out with such a small amount, other people will follow. This is young people, young people who are prone to impulsiveness, many people will do this, they A swarm of swarms rushed towards the place where the Cao's Commercial Bank was giving alms. There were some guys from the Cao's Commercial Bank. They had no power to fight against the thousands of members of the militia, and they were immediately beaten. He has a bruised nose and a swollen face, but the people on their side dare not kill people. After all, this is an illegal thing. The imperial court signed a snack jurisdiction with the Cao's House of Firm. It is said that if the people of the Cao's House of Trade break the law, it is not under the control of the people of the Eastern Empire. , they will take it back by themselves, and I will give you an explanation at that time, but this is simply impossible. If they take it back, there will be nothing wrong with it. It will be their own who will suffer at that time. But I know it very clearly, so there is no need to use such a method to do anything to us, and we will not believe such a thing, you are all immature, dozens of Cao's business The guy was so beaten that he couldn't stand up, which is not bad, when the people in our Cao's firm don't have an army, don't they? Immediately, a platoon of about 150 people in full armor came over, and they picked up their chain crossbows. As stated above, as long as their lives are in danger, they can use force. , what kind of things like the Eastern Empire's militia, as long as they don't come to provoke us, then it has nothing to do with us, but if they come to provoke us, we will definitely let you all know how big you are making this matter. They came by running, especially the neat pace when they ran, looking at the weapons in their hands, good guy, this is not on the same level as my own, these things of mine seem to be like fire sticks, this How can things fight against others? Some members of the militia feel a little bit dead at this time, should they leave earlier? But if he left so early, wouldn't it be difficult to talk about things after that? I'm still a member of the militia? That's impossible, those people won't let me go, but if they don't leave, look at the matter in front of them, can this be settled by themselves? These people have already lined up. If their chief said something casually, the chain crossbow would really come over. Although they have never been on the battlefield, they also know the troops of Cao's House To deal with them, the regular army of the Eastern Empire can also kill thousands of people, not to mention their mob of more than a thousand people. At this time, the local army of the Eastern Empire also walked over in neat steps. The militiamen at this time I was relieved, but these people didn't seem to be in the scope of the preparation. What happened to these people in the army, and who did they come here to help? Seeing how they look like a very neutral look? Isn't it here to help us? (To be continued..)
