"Why didn't your highness inform you early when you come back? Oh, it's really damn." Wang Ke heard that Qin Shaoyou arrived at Shence Mansion and hurried out. He saw Qin Shaoyou, who had not seen him for a long time but was whiter than before, and quickly saluted.
Hell, Your Highness is slightly fatter than before, and her skin color is better. Your Highness is leading the troops to "fight" at Hangu Pass. As the commander, even if you are not dark and thin, since you are controlling your troops in front, you cannot be white and fat.
Wang Ju complained in his heart that Qin Shaoyou had prepared for his return to Luoyang. The canal was already connected, so His Highness must make a difference.
Qin Shaoyou smiled and nodded at him: "Get in and say,"
Wang Ju and he entered the Shence Mansion's duty room one after another. Qin Shaoyou sat down. Wang Ju was going to ask someone to pour tea, but Qin Shaoyou waved his hand: "No need, let's talk about serious things."
Wang Ju is not polite. He and Qin Shaoyou have had a lot of tacit understanding, so some politeness can be avoided. Wang Ju smiled and said, "Your Highness is coming back this time, probably for the affairs of the governors."
The affairs of the governors...
In the past two years, Shence Mansion has done a lot of things.
On the one hand, it was to fight against Wei. Since the defeat of the seven-town coalition forces, the world has responded to the call of the second prince and raised the banner of fighting against Wei. Of course... it is impossible to rely on these people to do anything. These people are very smart and will never give out money and food. As for the army and horses, they are tempted. However, it is obvious that it is not easy to pull out hair from them. If they really want to send troops, they must get greater benefits.
So these governors are just nominally trying to fight Wei, but in fact they don’t have much effect. But at least... they can make Qin Shaoyou worry-free.
Of course, in addition to this, the Shence Mansion has obviously done a lot of work. In addition to developing the canal, it is also training troops. More than 50,000 strong men have been recruited in the seven towns. Other towns have also recruited as many as 60,000. These new soldiers have entered the Five Military Camps of Weizhou and practiced day and night. Now they are quite good. Now, Qin Shaoyou has a total of nearly 300,000 soldiers and horses of the Five Military Camps. This number is quite extraordinary. In a vague way, Qin Shaoyou has one of the three parts of the world, with a armor of 300,000. After digesting the southern towns, the states now occupy 80,000 states, with a total population of more than 400 counties, with a population of more than 8 million, and is arrogant.
It can even be said that Qin Shaoyou is almost equivalent to any prince now, even if all princes unite, he is barely equal to Qin Shaoyou.
His Highness, King of Wei, is no longer the name of a vassal king. It is also a symbol of power and strength.
In addition to training, it is the development of commerce. The princes of various towns supported the fight against Wei, which was that they could no longer be enemies with Qin Shaoyou on the surface. Since they could not be enemies, there was a lot of room for improvement in Shence Mansion. Since everyone was making an appointment to fight against Wei, everyone should sit down and talk. Since we are allies and respected by His Highness the Second Prince, then you can't always make things difficult for my merchants.
Although the towns still maintain the tax on the level, at least it is difficult to make things difficult for merchants in Kanto to even ban them.
It is also because of this that the originally closed market opened up suddenly and the market demand was strong. On the one hand, it was being widely created and on the other hand, the demand increased. In addition, with the development of Kanto, its domestic demand is strong, and even the demand brought about by the expansion of military and horses. Under the favorable benefits of these four levels, this huge demand has caused Kanto's industry and commerce to grow wildly, among which the production of cloth increased by three times, while ceramics became more prosperous, as much as four times. The growth of steel has increased the most due to the large-scale expansion of the army and the strong demand for agricultural tools in southern towns, reaching seven times.
This is almost a crazy era. Under this strong demand, as long as a person who is unwilling to be lonely, he takes his own land and house to mortgage his money house, or raises some money from his relatives and friends to build a kiln, as long as you can recruit people and purchase some improved production tools, constantly train steel and produce a lot of production, there is no need to sell it everywhere, and you will be sold out.
It is precisely because of this that countless people are jealous and have hot ears, and newly opened kilns are everywhere, and labor is recruiting everywhere.
Even because of insufficient employment, the members of the council in the meeting hall even went crazy to introduce laws to encourage women to go to work, and even more and more female workers began to increase. Just this... they still felt that there was insufficient and complaining about artificial sounds everywhere.
The whole of Kanto is filled with this kind of fanatical and restless atmosphere. People who get rich overnight keep creating one myth after another, and inspiring batches of people to jump into it without hesitation.
Of course, if Qin Shaoyou cannot control this kind of fanaticism, or if there is no source of energy to continuously develop more markets and create more demand in the future, once demand declines, it may cause big problems. But he also understood that it is this endless fanaticism that has made Kanto's strength grow like a snowball, even to a terrifying level.
Now... Qin Shaoyou didn't care about any hidden dangers. What he wanted to borrow was just like this.
Wang Ju hit the nail on the head and directly revealed Qin Shaoyou's real purpose. Qin Shaoyou couldn't help laughing: "Yes, I'm back this time, just to solve the problem of the governors of each town once and for all. Are there any preparations here in Shence Mansion?"
Wang Yu looked at Qin Shaoyou deeply and then said, "Your Highness, the senators of the Shence Mansion have made several plans. Of course, they are just putting them on the shelf now, just waiting for your highness to take action, but... the most important thing at the moment is the second prince."
Qin Shaoyou said lightly: "This is easy. The second prince must not cause trouble for me. Since he is back, it is better to meet him. Mr. Wang, please accompany me to see you."
Wang Ju seemed to have been ready to move, so he hurriedly said, "Yes." He thought about it and added another sentence: "The second prince has been a little unwilling to be lonely recently."
"Is that true?" Qin Shaoyou pursed his lips and had already grown up: "No need to delay. Let's leave now."
…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………
Li Chongfu was almost equivalent to being confined. The Longmen Palace's imperial guards have become increasingly strict. Wang Ju has been seen several times, and Li Chongfu has become increasingly annoying about Wang Ju.
In the past, he thought Wang Ju was a loyal minister.
Yes, who dares to say that Wang Ju is not a loyal minister? Thinking about the beginning, he was furious and assassinated Wu Sansi. It was precisely because of this risky assassination that Wu Zetian determined to make Li Xian the crown prince. It can be said that at least Wang Ju could spare his life for the sake of the Tang Dynasty.
In addition, there is also Yang Jiong. In order to support the Li family, the Yang family even followed Li Jingye to launch a rebellion.
Even Duke E, Li Chongfu was heartbroken when he thought of Duke E. The ancestor of Duke E. Yuchi Gong was a founding hero of the Tang Dynasty, and the Wei family rebelled. He was the first to escape with his family. Now... let alone, this guy is talking about business and chatting and laughing with a certain congressman. Occasionally, he sent some messy things in, and even sang, all of which were messy things. Li Chongfu felt vulgar and Duke E changed. He became even less aware of himself.
Li Chongfu felt a great crisis, but every time he wanted to go out and walk around, he was stopped by the guards and kept saying for the safety of His Highness. Humph, these people... are just Qin Shaoyou's lackeys, it's really ridiculous!
His Highness, King of Wei, finally came back.
Li Chongfu hasn't seen him for two years. Now when he heard that King Wei asked for a meeting, his heart skipped a beat. No matter how hard he felt to be close to Qin Shaoyou, he felt a little fear in his heart.
In the past, if he might have made some use of Qin Shaoyou, now he feels that he is being used by others.
He had to barely act like a noble man. In any case, he felt that he could not hide his emotions in front of Qin Shaoyou, so he still cheered up and wanted to have a good time to meet this "Cao Cao".
"Cao Cao" then made it up in front of Li Chongfu.
Behind this "Cao Cao" still let Li Chongfu see the annoying Wang Ju.
Wang Ju looked at him with a smile, as if his eyes could see Li Chongfu's heart, which made Li Chongfu feel very uncomfortable. When Qin Shaoyou saluted him, Li Chongfu came to his senses and said with a smile: "Ah... King Wei is finally back. King Wei is fighting outside. It's really hard. I... I..." His words were a little incoherent, and in the end he had to calm down and continue, "I heard that Your Highness has just arrived? Oh, it's really hard."
Qin Shaoyou smiled, and then everyone sat down. Li Chongfu naturally asked about the battle situation at Hangu Pass, and Qin Shaoyou reluctantly answered a few words.
In fact, Li Chongfu no longer cared about what Hangu Pass was like. Anyway, he only knew that Qin Shaoyou stopped and had no plans to attack Guanzhong.
After a while of greeting, Qin Shaoyou said, "Your Highness, Hangu Pass has not been able to capture it for a long time. Although the towns have attacked Wei, the real efforts are not enough for me. Now our army is obviously not supported on the front line of Hangu Pass. If we continue to fight, we are afraid that there will be a danger of success or failure."
Li Chongfu was stunned for a moment, a little dumbfounded.
By the way... you didn't fight well at all? Where did you come from the danger of success or failure?
However, he had no room for refutation of such a thing. Qin Shaoyou was the head coach. Of course, he said whatever he said was. Li Chongfu had to show his worry and couldn't help but say, "Oh? If so, what can you do?"
Qin Shaoyou said: "After all, I am weak in power, so I think the most important thing at the moment is to let all the towns of Wei be twisted into a rope. Only by uniting together can there be hope of breaking the barrier."
Li Chongfu still didn't understand what Qin Shaoyou meant: "You are right, I guess King Wei has a solution."
"The solution is not without it. In fact, it is very simple. It is nothing more than to unite the twenty-five princes in the capital. Your Highness should issue an edict to ask the governors to come to Luoyang to negotiate the matter. In addition, they should also reorganize their troops. What do you think?"
Li Chongfu took a deep breath.
This guy named Qin has a very big appetite.
I called the governors to Luoyang, so I was not here to discuss anything, it was clearly here to be hostages.
As for the reorganization of their military horses, they were even more naked, and they obviously wanted to swallow the towns in one bite.
You, Qin Shaoyou, have a big appetite and actually want to take it all.
Li Chongfu shuddered, and a terrible thought popped up in his mind.
I must never agree to Qin Shaoyou. If I issued an edict, I would give Qin Shaoyou a title. What is the reason why I can still be respected by Qin Shaoyou now? Of course, it is because I still have the appeal to the princes. As long as the princes are still there, these people can also be used as flags to check and balance Qin Shaoyou. Qin Shaoyou dare not be arrogant, but once the princes are gone?
Qin Shaoyou now has one of the three parts of the world. If he annexes twenty-five towns, it means that all the prefectures and counties in the world except Guanzhong will be included in his pocket. At this time, it will be even more difficult to break through Guanzhong.
Qin Shaoyou is simply trying to eliminate dissidents in the name of trying to defeat Wei and constantly strengthen himself.
When Qin Shaoyou can completely control the towns, does he still need himself?
Now I can still give him the title of righteousness. Once he controls the towns, he will become a stumbling block for him and a roadblock.
Thinking of this, Li Chongfu shivered. Qin Shaoyou was going to destroy the world. Now that I think about it carefully, the Wei family may not be hateful. At least the Wei family cannot control every county in the world. Although they have controlled the temple, they are also afraid that once the Tang Dynasty is destroyed, they will be opposed by the people of the world. Qin Shaoyou is obviously much more terrifying than the Wei family, because once Qin Shaoyou controls the towns, then the Tang Dynasty has nothing to do with the destruction or not.
If you do this, how can you be worthy of your ancestors?
Li Chongfu said almost without hesitation: "This matter...is not easy... It is better to make a long-term plan. You have just returned to Luoyang and have a hard time traveling. Let's take a break. I will think about it again."
