Chapter 835: Changes in Chu State

Li San kept collating the information sent by the secret guard, frowning deeper and deeper.
According to intelligence, Cao Zhengyang's recent deeds have become more suspicious, and now he can basically determine that the real purpose of the Cao family is to transfer silver.
"Fortunately, the Secret Guard has been keeping someone staring at Cao Zhengyang, otherwise something will happen this time." Li San's forehead was slightly sweaty.
Although the secret guard was established by the imperial court to collect intelligence and monitor hundreds of officials, as the country now has more and more land and more and more officials, the current manpower of the secret guard is quite stretched.
For this reason, the Secret Guard gave up part of the supervision of the people, but focused on supervising important officials and generals of the imperial court, and he was not even willing to send someone to stare at someone like Cao Zhengyang.
After all, relative to a high-ranking official, Cao Zhengyang is just a small person.
But this little man obviously has to do a big deal now.
"Cao Zhengyang has boarded the merchant ship heading for Dengzhou and immediately notified the Weishou to arrest Cao Zhengyang and let them control all of the Cao family's business in the north." Li San ordered that if no action is taken, Cao Zhengyang will run away. .
"Yes."
The secret guard commander beside Li San responded and immediately led three people out of the secret guard post.
"You go to Jinling City immediately and let the defenders of Jinling City intercept the silver." Li San said sternly. Judging by the news from the other six states, Cao Zhengyang secretly transferred the silver from all the banks in the nearby county.
If this batch of money reaches the Chu region, it will have a serious impact on the industrial and commercial development in the north. Although Qingzhou Bank can now fight against the Cao family bank, there are still many businessmen who have deposited their wealth into the Cao family under the flicker of Cao Zhengyang. Money house.
After giving orders one after another, Li San got up and went to the palace. He wanted to report this to Xiao Ming.
All the way to the palace, he was asked to enter after waiting for a while outside the city.
When he arrived at the Imperial Study Room, he saw Pang Yukun and Fiji also.
"The emperor, Fei Ge, Pang Shoufu." Li Sanyi paid a salute.
When Fiji and Pang Yukun saw Li San, both of them smiled happily. In a blink of an eye, Ding, the former royal family member, became the commander of the most mysterious institution of the Great Yu Kingdom.
It can be said that every official did not dare to offend him, for fear of being caught by the secret guard.
"Come here so soon, it seems that Cao Zhengyang really has an accident this time." Xiao Ming said.
Li San bluntly said: "Yes, the emperor and the lower officials have found out that the Cao's money houses in the counties around Qingzhou are all transferring money, and Cao Zhengyang is preparing to go to Dengzhou. This is very unusual. To prevent accidents, The lower officials have ordered the closure of Cao’s bank and the interception of Cao’s transfer of silver.
"This Cao family is really fainted, dare to demolish the emperor's platform at this time." Pang Yukun snorted angrily.
Fiji always looks indifferent, he said: "In fact, it is not difficult to understand, the nature of the merchant is just that, as the emperor said, this merchant is similar to the nomads. The nomads live by water and grass, and the merchants are driven by money. In the beginning, the Cao family went to the emperor to preserve the foundation of the Cao family, but now they also go to the king of Chu for the foundation of the Cao family. After all, the current king of Chu is not small, and it has the momentum to run the country together with businessmen."
"Old Fei Ge said that it is extremely true, but this king of Chu is also rushing to the doctor. The businessman has always been short-sighted and only pursues the current huge profits. Perhaps letting the businessman be in power can achieve commercial prosperity within a period of time, but in the long run it will inevitably be because of the businessman Conflict of interest between them has led to inaction in national affairs.
Pang Yukun said.
Since Xiao Ming opened the Tianzi Academy, they and other officials have also been in attendance from time to time. Now they have a deeper understanding of the political system in the books, and they no longer stay in the old backward feudal thinking.
Xiao Ming let the pen circle in his hand, his eyes stopped on Fiji and Pang Yukun, and he was very satisfied with their current progress.
He said: "I have to admit that King Chu is also a hero. In order to be able to defeat me, he can let go of everything. According to Wang Xuan's news, Lin'an now has a different prosperous state than Qingzhou, and it is said to imitate the West. The council is being formed, and the speaker of this council is Cao Kun."
"It's not surprising that the Cao family has to shed blood for the King of Chu. This King of Chu can really do it. If this parliament is equivalent to the Western parliament, isn't it that the rights of the King of Chu will also be restricted by the parliament? Will the King of Chu agree? ?" Fiji was surprised.
"The Golden Horde was defeated, and the king of Chu knew that the next target of the emperor was him. Compared with his life and power, which one do you think he would choose? Even so, the king of Chu could still inherit the throne and enjoy the glory and wealth forever." Pang Yukun Frowned.
After a pause, he continued: "The emperor, the south is rich, and the influence of the king of Chu has been greater than that of the royal family for a long time. If there is a war, the people will probably not stand on the side of the royal family. The relocation of the township has not worked well. Many people are unwilling to come to the north. For this reason, many people have violently resisted."
Li San nodded in agreement.
Xiao Ming got up and walked towards the map, looking towards the area south of the Yangtze River, "I really underestimated the Chu King's ability to accept Western culture. In the past two or three years, Chu King has made me look up and down."
Fiji smiled, "The emperor, the Han people in the south, has another name, the Hakka. The origin of this Hakka began when the Qin Zhengling was in the south of Baiyue, and after thousands of years, a stable family has been formed~www.mtlnovel. com~ These Hakkas mostly do business with people overseas, and even thrive in Luzon, Malacca, Annan and other places. These countries established by the Han people once wanted to pay tribute to the Great Yu Kingdom, but they have never been there in the past century. This Chu King Li was originally from Fuzhou, and later followed Gaozu to settle in Lin'an, but the Chu King has always been in close contact with Fuzhou and other places.
"Old ministers used to be puzzled before, but now I think about it, the kingdoms built by the Han people are occupied by Westerners," Pang Yukun said.
Xiao Ming naturally understands the Hakka people, they are indeed a group of people who are good at pioneering, but even so, he can't dispel his will to unify the great Yu country.
Now the king of Chu and the Cao family are conspiring to attack the development of Qingzhou Prefecture’s industry and commerce, with the goal of delaying the development of Qingzhou Prefecture. He must now crush the Cao family’s plan.
It just made him a little regretful that King Chu was very clever and did not leave any evidence for him to arrest. This time the Cao family tossed it was also a matter of the Cao family. On the surface, he was still a loyal feudal lord. He had no reason to send troops. .
However, sending troops in the name of reducing the vassal would cause a chain reaction of Huainan, Yongwang, Ruyang and others, which he did not want to see.
