What Chen Zhengtai wanted to conspire was obviously an extremely confidential transaction.

But if you want to keep a secret, it is not so easy!

Any problem at any link may lead to unpredictable results.

There is Lou Shide in Baekje. Lou Shide is a smart person and will never make a name for himself.

As for Changsun Chong, Chen Zhengtai was a little suspicious. After all, this guy is from the Changsun family. Can he trust him completely?

Here, the Chen family is mainly the Chen family. The Chen family has a great advantage. Regardless of their abilities, they are reliable and absolutely reliable.

After all, people in this era must be born by clinging to the family, prospering and losing together. The betrayal of the family means that this person has died socially and all social relations systems have been cut off. In the end, they can only become refugees, and life is worse than death.

Uncle San is interested in any business, after all... who would think that the money is too much?

Now the Chen family is encouraging everyone to have more children on a large scale. Why? There is too much money and so much resources, so how can I say that?

Now that Chen Zhengde has been married, the future prospects of this family are unlimited. Although the other party's family... Although it is not as good as the five surnames and seven sects in the county, it is considered to be from a famous family. At least the place outside the pass of the Xiping Ju family is still very loud. Moreover, the Duke of the State was also named. The Chen family and the giant clan of Gaochang were married, which greatly consolidated the Chen family's control over Gaochang.

The third uncle was happy and had no thoughts anymore, so he hoped that the family would have more surplus.

But Chen Zhengtai was still keeping a secret and didn't say it thoroughly, which made the third uncle smell a trace of something that was not easy to detect.

His nose has always been very smart. If even Chen Zhengtai keeps it secret, then it must be a big deal and it must be profitable. As long as things are done, there will be amazing profits.

Therefore, the third uncle tactfully did not continue to ask questions, but Chen Zhengtai had already gone to the study.

This time, Chen Zhengtai followed Li Shimin back to Chang'an first, but Wu Yu had not returned yet. The study was quiet, but only people took care of it.

Chen Zhengtai sat upright in front of the desk in this study, pondered for a moment, then compiled two letters, and then said, "Come, come."

A female clerk came in and said respectfully: "What are your instructions?"

When Chen Zhengtai looked up, he couldn't help but realize the female clerk.

In the past, in this study, he was used to serving Wu Zi, but now he is a little uncomfortable.

Chen Zhengtai immediately smiled and said, "Send this letter to Tianjin and Baekje quickly."

"Here."

……………………

Tianjin.

Where the three rivers converge, a water village has already risen. Lou Shide's responsibility is to build a water village here and train a navy.

Today, the scale of the navy is getting bigger and bigger, with more than a hundred ships, all of which are large ships that can cross the vast ocean.

Lou Shide patrols the sea almost every year. Of course, his main destination is Baekje, Japan, and the pirates in the nearby waters were almost wiped out. In Tianjin, a large number of merchants also appeared. They transported their goods to this point and then went to sea by merchant ships. With the protection of the navy, the continuous supply of goods was transported from Tianjin to all parts of the world.

Even so, the Tang Dynasty still did not value the navy.

This is understandable. After all, there are too many things to deal with in the three provinces. The Tang Dynasty has a vast territory and really can't develop much interest in the vast ocean. As long as there is no accident overseas.

Lou Shide finally looked forward to Chen Zhengtai's handwritten letter. After reading the contents of the letter, he looked stern and frowned involuntarily.

He paced back and forth with the letter thoughtfully. After a while, he suddenly shouted: "Come, come..."

A lieutenant hurried in: "What are the general's instructions?"

Lou Shide was confused and said in his mouth: "In half a month, dozens of ships will arrive in Tianjin. The cargo of these dozens of ships has the mark of Chen. If the other party takes out the Chen ticket, the soldiers will not be allowed to inspect and release them directly. When changing the ship to sea, you must bring people with you to protect your left and right, and see the goods delivered to Shanghai ships with your own eyes! And... make sure that all the feet of transporting the goods are reliable. All the goods have seals. If someone secretly unboxes, they will be engaged in military law."

After hearing this, the captain felt a stern. He knew very well that Lou Shide valued this matter so much, so this matter was absolutely extraordinary. Leaving this matter to himself was obviously due to Lou Shide's trust in him, so the captain nodded cautiously and said, "Here."

Lou Shide said again: "From the future...every month, such ships will come. You must do this matter well. If there is any mistake, you will only ask."

The captain said solemnly: "Don't worry, General."

Lou Shide nodded, his face looked a little better. He had been paying attention to this captain for a long time. He was the first group of seafarers at that time. He had no complicated relationships or backgrounds, and he was also smart and down-to-earth, which made people feel at ease.

But after the explanation, Lou Shide rubbed his temples, showing a bit of caution.

Obviously, he still had worries in his heart!

He still doesn't understand...What is Your Highness going to do?

Doesn’t Your Highness know that these things violate the national laws of the Tang Dynasty?

You know, if this matter is leaked, even if it is not a family search and annihilation, it will be enough to behead him!

The more I think about it, the more I feel Lou Shide feels incredible.

If it were someone else, he would never dare to take such a huge relationship. Taking such a huge risk to do such a thing is too great. Once it is leaked, he will have to finish it.

But the other party is Chen Zhengtai...

Lou Shide knew very well that everything he had today came from Chen's family, and he could not refuse these things that Chen had told him.

So the only thing to consider now is how to prevent the news from being leaked.

Lou Shide sat for a long time and pondered for a long time, and finally decided to compile two letters, one of which was a reply to Chen Zhengtai. He did not ask too much, but said that the matter had been done and there would be no mistake. Please be careful.

Another letter was written to Changsun Chong.

In fact, he was patrolling the entire Baekje, Tianjin and other areas in the waters. He often needed to stay in Baekje and met Changsun Chong frequently. After being tempered during this period of time in Baekje, this former young man has gradually become able to stand alone and become more mature and steady.

However... this fact was too confidential. He thought about it for a long time and felt that it would be necessary to transfer through Changsun Chong's route.

Yan Yan is also the largest anti-Tang figure in Baekje. He believes that Baekje can only ensure his status by being close to Goguryeo.

The Supervisory Office immediately found out a lot of his affairs. First, a newspaper under the Incheon Chamber of Commerce, which is the most popular Baekje Daily in Baekje, conducted a large report. Then, the Supervisory Office personally sent people to Yan Yan's residence and found a large amount of gold and IOUs. After obtaining enough evidence, the Supervisory Office, together with more than 70 ministers and county magistrates from Baekje, submitted a memorial, and counted more than 20 crimes in Yan Yan.

In the end... Yan Yan was imprisoned. When discussing the crime, the Baekje King originally hoped that Yan Yan's official position would be dismissed, but the Supervisory Office believed that he should act impartially and should serve as a warning to others and eventually beheaded.

Suddenly, Baekje was in a state of solemnity.

Nowadays, many ministers have gone to Incheon, which is more diligent than going to the king.

The county magistrates in many places are almost proud of having letters with Changsun Chong, and many of their views on the court have negotiated with Incheon first.

I heard that Baekje was very dissatisfied with this.

But so what?

After all, no matter how dissatisfied, it is better than becoming a prisoner. At the beginning of the month, Changsun Chong visited the Baekje King. The Baekje King still showed great etiquette and treated him. In front of all the officials, he pulled Changsun Chong to express his gratitude to the imperial envoy of the Tang Dynasty.

Everything was harmonious, not as rumored in the market. King Chengri of Baekje drank in the palace and scolded the Tang envoy.

Baekje Daily also reported this incident in large quantities, believing that this is a new chapter in the relationship between the Tang Dynasty and Baekje, and a model for the harmonious coexistence between the superior countries and the vassal states.

However... what Changsun Chong is most interested in now is to design a new system for Baekje. He hopes to increase Baekje's prime ministerial power and reduce excessive interference with the imperial court by the royal power.

Changsun Chong had a careful discussion with the president of the Chamber of Commerce, and the president of the Chamber of Commerce was happy to see it.

After all, the king was continued by blood, which was an uncontrollable existence. They naturally believed that Baekje was his private property, so they would have more or less resistance to the Tang Dynasty.

But the heads of Baekje are obviously different. They are the leaders of all officials. Whether they can finally get the right to govern all officials is the result of a game between all parties. Such people are often more obedient and try their best to cooperate with Incheon. They will also greatly respect Incheon's suggestions in the promotion of many officials.

The most important thing is... In Incheon, a Lingyin can be destroyed, but it is difficult to replace a Baekje king.

The former can only rely on the supervision of the daily newspaper and the Supervision Bureau to put huge pressure on it. The latter is not without the possibility of forcing it to abdicate, but the price it pays is too high.

Now, in Baekje Daily, the daily report is about the benefits of the current ruler's administration, but there is a bit of sarcasm about Baekje King. A large number of secrets about Baekje Palace have been leaked for some reason, so that the subjects of Baekje's country have a bit of ridiculous and funny feeling about this Baekje King, who is originally a god-respecting King.

When people begin to become increasingly disrespectful to the palace, the royal power collapses.

The King of Baekje was obviously furious about this, and the ministers of the court and royal family were even more anxious.

In contrast, the head of Baekje and the officials were surprisingly silent.

Obviously... Although the large number of secrets in the daily newspapers were exposed, which made King Baekje very embarrassed, this greatly strengthened the power of Lingyin and all officials.

In this supervisory authority, a large amount of information can be collected from various channels almost every day, including secrets from the palace, various information from all officials in Baekje, and their various tendencies.

Some information and information are sealed directly and may not be visible in the whole life, but some information is thrown out in advance to achieve a certain deterrent effect.

Changsun Chong is now becoming more and more adept at his responsibilities.

Some people even say that Changsun Chong is the real king of Baekje. Of course... this is just some rumors in the market, just laugh it off. After all,... he will never really come to the front desk.

After the You Yin Yan was destroyed, the new You Yin candidate was sent over to Baekje. The Supervision Office identified the candidate. A few days later, the former Minister of Revenue Shi personally arrived in Incheon and had a detailed discussion with Changsun Chong. When this person returned to the capital, the You Yin's appointment was issued through the palace.

Changsun Chong was very satisfied with his current situation.

So much so that in the letters he had with his father Changsun Wuji, he would talk about his thoughts when he was alone in Baekje.

This also made Changsun Wuji feel relieved and signaled that he would do a good job in Baekje. After hard work, he would recall him to Chang'an sooner or later.

But... Just when Changsun Chong planned to continue to surprise Baekje King and let the daily newspaper create a huge scandal for Baekje King.

At this time... a letter temporarily stabilized the political situation of Baekje.

To be precise, there are two letters, one from Chen Zhengtai from Chang'an and the other from Lou Shide.

Changsun Chong probably read both letters.

Then, he sat upright and frowned gently.

A clerk had long presented him with tea made from tea brought from Tianjin.

Changsun Chong only subconsciously sipped the tea, looking thoughtful and magical.

At this time, he was no longer the first chick he had ever been, and now he had a little more stability than others.

This was learned from Baekje. People outside called him the Baekje King Hidden King. He dealt with the officials and nobles of Baekje every day. To ensure that these people respect the Tang Dynasty, Changsun Chong's words and deeds must be majestic.

After a while, he put down his letters, took a deep breath, and immediately burned the two letters.

After seeing the letters burned to ashes, he said: "Come here, make arrangements. After three days, I will turn off all unnecessary arrangements. I will go to the port to patrol."

The clerk who came in said in surprise: "Ming Gong, the ports are bustling now. If Ming Gong goes, I'm afraid..."
