"Got a candidate?"

Su Yingtong said what Lu Xi was going to go to under the corridor, and finally said: "Lu Xi doesn't know too much, an orphan girl, is a person who grew up under the corridor, Master Na will not be too protective of her, her own experience is already more twists and turns, let's do something more, even if Master Na wants to check, I can't find anything, that is, I want to send someone who can take charge of things and some ability to escort her, everything must be taken care of, who do you think is appropriate?" ”

Gong Jingyu put down his chopsticks, and thought about it, Su Yingtong's construction was indeed very insightful, if he could start from Master Na to get close to the Liu family, it would be more secretive and much easier to act.

"It's not so fast to ask Gao Lifeng to ask someone, he is in South China now, I just sent someone to the border a few days ago, and there is a suitable person in Kyoto."

Su Yingtong grasped his point, "Send someone to the border?" ”

Sure enough, his little princess is very smart. Gong Jingyu explained: "When I recaptured the city at the border, although I used the geographical advantage to suppress Zefeng, but if Zefeng's soldiers want to fight a protracted war, we are still at a disadvantage, the soldiers have exhausted their energy, and the delay in the arrival of reinforcements also has an impact on them, after temporarily repelling Zefeng's army, I rearranged the defense to strengthen the border defense, but Zefeng's army has been retreating to Zefeng, I sent spies to check, there is indeed no sign of sending troops again, and the news also came back in Zefeng's eyes, and the night sky gave an order, Collect troops. ”

"Why is he?"

"I also didn't know, the border guards have not had any special news back, I just sent someone to disguise the caravan to Zefeng through Shan Ping, along the way you can contact the Zheng family's caravan, learn about the other party's situation, go to Zefeng can also learn some information with Zefeng's merchants, although the merchants are not to be seen by the world, but it is undeniable that the group of merchants really has a very strong ability, a large part of the news in my hands is from such a group, businessmen almost use commercial means to virtually capture a region or even a country, If this group has power again, it will indeed be a threat to the imperial court. ”

Hearing Gong Jingyu say this, Su Yingtong made a new discovery, it turned out that Gong Jingyu was not unwelcome to businessmen, and he could also see the promotion of businessmen to society, but because of his special status, he was more worried that such a group would be difficult to control if the imperial court grew stronger.

And he wasn't wrong.

Su Yingtong put down the chopsticks, and simply asked people to come in and collect the dishes and chopsticks, she made flower tea for Gong Jingyu, and said: "The imperial court has always suppressed merchants, but there are many big officials who are friends and enemies with businessmen, on the surface, they are acting impartially, but in fact, as long as they have enough money, they can still open the door to businessmen, so there is a corruption case in South China." If the river embankment hadn't collapsed at this sensitive time, and the rumors like the heavens were going to die from somewhere that inspired the people, this case would not have been taken seriously at all, let alone give the emperor the opportunity to hand over this difficult errand to you. ”

There was a deep appreciation in Gong Jingyu's eyes, he looked at Su Yingtong, and did not hesitate to praise: "You also think that this incident is too coincidental?" ”

Su Yingtong smiled, "It's indeed a coincidence, but now we don't have time to figure out the reason behind this, since the emperor has given an order, we can only solve the problem in front of us first, Xianggong, what do you think?" ”

Gong Jingyu raised her eyebrows, she was very good at throwing questions, "As you think, break into the family in South China, find out the evidence of collusion with the local prefect He Xun, I'm afraid it's impossible, if you really count the entire imperial court, it is estimated that most of the people will not be spared, but in recent years, the Liu family has become more and more arrogant, and the people still say that the Liu family is rich and rivals the country, of course these words will not be comfortable when they reach the ears of the emperor, the emperor just wants to take this opportunity for me to suppress the Liu family, and by the way, he severely punished several officials, and the right is just to kill chickens and monkeys." "The world is the world with the surname Gong, how can the Liu family be rich and rival the country?

"The Liu family has been in business for generations, knowing themselves and knowing their opponents, the most effective way is, of course, to start with their industry, but their business name has had a lot of influence throughout the country over the years, and they are also inextricably linked with people in the court, so I am afraid it is not easy to start."

Hearing Gong Jingyu say this, Su Yingtong became interested, she sat next to Gong Jingyu and asked him, "Actually, what do you really think of businessmen?" ”

Gong Jingyu looked at her, wondering how she could have such a question?

Su Yingtong said: "The ruler suppresses the businessman, but he thinks that the businessman does not produce and makes huge profits, causing social instability, but have you ever thought about what kind of effect will be caused by suppressing the development of businessmen all the time?" ”

Gong Jingyu's eyes flashed: "I want to hear it in detail." ”

"The country I used to live in has a history of 5,000 years, I don't know how many dynasties have changed before it has developed into a socialist society, there are many rich and powerful countries in history, such as the Tang Dynasty, I don't know how many times stronger than Xiling, but in the end it is still impossible to avoid the destruction of the country...... There are too many such examples, prosperity must decline, this is almost a law, it stands to reason that the prosperity of Xiling has not yet arrived, but Gong Yilin...... Seriously, he is not a good emperor, he is acting like this now, although the Liu family has a certain relationship, and it is so strong that the imperial court is taboo, but I still don't agree with suppressing businessmen too much, without businessmen to promote social exchanges, such a country will slowly fall behind in stability and become a vulnerable power. I mean, if we can, we can slowly erode the Liu family's business in South China, as long as we damage their foundation, it will only be a matter of time before they fall, but will Gong Yilin be even more taboo about our palace? ”

Gong Jingyu was shocked by Su Yingtong's words, he carefully asked her about the examples of the death of the country in history, the more he listened, the more frightened he became, he knew that it was difficult to defend the country, but he didn't know that it was so difficult!

"I can understand, not necessarily the emperor can understand." Qiyuan's suspicion is getting heavier and heavier.

This is also what Su Yingtong is worried about, "Actually, it's good that you can understand, Gong Yilin...... He grew up in such an environment, he just wants to hold all the power in his hands, as long as he is still in his control, he will rest assured, of course, he can't take care of this, he may not realize such a problem at all, it is true that someone needs to advise, and that person cannot be you. ”

Gong Jingyu smiled bitterly: "Tong'er, your requirements are too high, if you want the emperor to let businessmen run rampant in his world like that, he is afraid that he will not allow it at all." ”

"What about Mingjian Villa, why is it okay? Is it just because weapons are provided to the imperial court every year? "In fact, these things should be handed over to the departments under the imperial court, rather than delegating power to civil society organizations.

Gong Jingyu just looked at her and didn't refute.

Su Yingtong reacted: "Could it be that he has long had the idea of suppressing Mingjian Villa?" (To be continued.) )
