"Do you think I don't know what Li Cheng'an's idea is? He can't wait to kill you as soon as possible, and I am clear about everything in the edict prison, and the family actually put their hands into my edict prison, if they don't get rid of it, I can't sleep and eat! In fact, what you said is right, even if you handed over the steelmaking law to the imperial court before, it would fall into their hands. Cao Ziwen gritted his teeth and said.

Qin was speechless, he had already suffered a loss, he didn't dare to talk nonsense anymore.

"I won't kill you this time, but don't think that this matter is over, I heard that the weapons and armor produced by you in Chicheng are sharp, the weapons and equipment of the Imperial Forest Army, 40,000 people in the four towns of Youzhou and 30,000 cavalry are all provided by you." After saying so much, Cao Ziwen finally said his purpose.

Shameless!

When Qin Forget heard this, he scolded in his heart. The weapons and equipment of 90,000 people are provided by Akagi, so Akagi doesn't want to do anything else, just build it for the imperial court.

"It's Your Majesty, the last general is commanded." But he didn't dare to bargain, Cao Ziwen was still angry, and disobeying him at this time was simply looking for death. After saying this, Qin Wang's heart was dripping blood.

"That's right, get up." Sure enough, when he got what he wanted, Cao Ziwen's face softened completely, "I don't want the formula, if I want it, it will be taken away by those families, and then my army will have no advantage." I'm going to start business in a month, what do you think about this? ”

"Your Majesty wants to take your time or make a big move?" Qin Forget asked rhetorically.

"All walks of life must implement it." Cao Ziwen said in a deep voice, "In the past, you suggested that I take my time, but you have also seen the energy of the family, and they will not give me time to let me take my time, so I will take them by surprise." Qin Forget, your weapons and equipment must be delivered within a month, with them, those families must have some scruples. ”

"Yes, the Admiral understands." Qin Forget nodded, "If you want to make a big move, you will first start with the Li family's grain industry and the Wen family's cloth industry, which are their economic pillars." Defeat them, and no one will dare to stand in the way of His Majesty. ”

"But in this way, they will definitely change the price of grain and cloth too high, and it will definitely be the common people who will suffer, and I am afraid that I will provoke a civil uprising at that time." Food and cloth are directly related to people's livelihood, and Cao Ziwen's worries are not unreasonable.

"If they really dare to do this, the last general will have a way to make them bankrupt!" Qin Wang smiled coldly, "Your Majesty doesn't know, I also have a lot of grain merchants and cloth merchants under my command, they dare to raise the price of grain, and the last general will ask them to bring grain and cloth over, and the price of grain and cloth can be leveled overnight." Once the price of grain and cloth is calmed down, Li Chengan and Wen Man will definitely not be reconciled, and they will be able to guess what means they will take, Your Majesty, please ask Your Majesty to solve the official matter. What is in business is the end of the future. Our goal is to completely squeeze out the business of the Li family and the Wen family, once they lose the market, it is equivalent to cutting off their right-hand men, which is called drawing wages from the bottom of the kettle. ”

"Wonderful, wonderful!" Cao Ziwen clapped his hands happily, "Over the years, grain and cloth have been monopolized by them, and these two pieces of land cannot be splashed by the water they operate, so I forced them to have an accident this time." ”

"Your Majesty, once this is done, Li Chengan and Wen Man will definitely jump over the wall with those family dogs, and we still have to be fully prepared. Especially militarily, if they make a move, we must have the ability to suppress them. ”

"Don't worry about this, I'm ready for anything." Cao Ziwen said confidently, "Dare to do it with me, I will make them regret it!" ”

Hearing Cao Ziwen's words, Qin Forget was slightly suspicious in his heart. It doesn't look like he's lying, but with the weak power of the royal family today, who gave him the confidence? Cao Ziwen no

would be stupid enough to think that with the 90,000 horses in Youzhou, he could block the nearly 200,000 troops under the command of Li Chengan and Wen Man.

But Cao Ziwen didn't want to say more, and Qin Forget didn't want to inquire much.

"Well, that's pretty much it. You're not in good health, so go back and rest early. Seeing Qin Wang's tired face, Cao Ziwen finally wanted to let him go, "The Imperial Forest Army of your Zhuangwu General's Mansion will not withdraw, let them protect your safety." ”

Qin Forget was silent, knowing that he couldn't refuse this. The matter of the steelmaking law still aroused Cao Ziwen's jealousy of him, and those people were not so much protective as surveillance. This is where Li Cheng'an is clever, even if he can't kill Qin Wang, he must make Qin Wang lose Cao Ziwen's trust.

It's been a few days since the carriage yard reopened, and more than 200 people on the high observation deck are frantically cheering for the wagons they bet on. Most of them are the sons and daughters of major families, and since there was a carriage yard, this place has become their favorite place to come.

In addition to exciting carriage races, there are restaurants, brothels, various shops, and more than a dozen casinos controlled by Qin Wang. It can be said that what a city should have, it has here. Such a place is like the largest gold cave, and these gentlemen often don't go home for more than ten days and spend a lot of money here.

After inspecting the carriage yard, Qin Forget sat in Luo Zhong's study, thinking about what Cao Ziwen told him today.

"General, I'm sorry, my subordinates didn't help me with such a big matter this time?" Looking at Qin Forget in contemplation, Luo Zhong said guiltily.

"The water in Youzhou is deep, and you can't do anything as you should." Qin Forget was still closing his eyes and pondering, "Luo Zhong, don't be so extreme, you can't work hard when you don't have to work hard, you almost got rid of what happened last time." ”

"I'm sorry general, my subordinates panicked at the time, I heard that you were being abused like this, and I just want to save you as soon as possible." Luo Zhong hurriedly apologized.

"Well, it's good to know." Qin Forget couldn't bear to scold him, "Inform Chicheng and strictly investigate who leaked the secret, and he will not be spared." Tell Dong Zhuang that I don't want this to happen a second time, and he knows how to do it. Also, let Akagi send 30,000 sets of weapons and equipment, we were blackmailed by the emperor. In addition, let Jincheng and Mrs. Chen buy as much food and cloth as possible, and try to transport them to Chicheng in the past month. The details are in the letter, and reliable people are sent to send them. ”

"Yes, my subordinates will do it immediately!" Luo Zhong couldn't help nodding, "But general, just let the Li family go this time?" The subordinates are unwilling! ”

"Spare it? How is it possible, in a month, let's wait and see. Qin Forget smiled coldly, "By the way, I heard that someone came to make trouble last time, and I found it out, who did it?" ”

"I found out clearly, Li Chengan's grandson Li Jie did it, this kid took a fancy to our carriage yard and wanted to take it for himself. He designed to kill a gentleman of the Hong family, and then planted it for us. ”

"Li Jie?" Qin Forget has an impression of this person, last time he did something to Sister Bai Qing, he was slapped twice by Bai Yi in public, which also made Qin Forget make trouble in the Li Mansion in a rage, but he didn't expect to come out to be a demon again.

"Because the general hadn't come out at that time, his subordinates didn't move him. This kid still thinks we don't know, and he fights in the field every day, general, do you want to? Luo Zhong asked.

"You must move, but how to move is very particular, go, take me to see him."

Coming to the field, the carriage race was coming to an end, and Li Jie was laughing happily with a group of gentlemen, obviously winning a lot. Qin Forget and Luo Zhong hid in the corner, observing the movement over there.

"Li Dashao, today my brother touched your light and won three times in a row

, made a lot of money, why don't we play again? A gentleman beside Li Jie happily put away a plate of gold and proposed.

"Yes, Li Dashao, play a few more." Li Jie's side has more or less earned hundreds of taels or even thousands of taels of gold, and their interest is high, and they all hope to play a few more.

"Yes, Li Dashao, you are the god of gambling, you will win every game, and you will definitely make money by betting with you." The gentleman who had just spoken spoke again.

Hearing him say this, everyone sought after Li Jie, which made him very proud.

"Okay, let's play again. Lao Tzu will buy that Tianzi No. 1 car! Bet 500 taels of gold! ”

The carriages in the carriage yard are divided into four grades according to their performance and achievements, and each level is divided into five numbers. Of course, the higher the rank, the lower the odds, and the lower the rank, the higher the odds. This race is a car race between Tianzi No. 1 and Tianzi No. 5, Li Jie's gameplay is also decent, but cars with poor grades do not necessarily lose, the track is too thrilling, anything can happen. There was once a car with Xuanzi No. 3 that won the car with Tianzi No. 5.

Hearing what a few people said, Qin Forget glanced at Luo Zhong. Luo Zhong nodded clearly and went down to make arrangements.

As soon as the two carriages set off, the Tianzi No. 1 car gave full play to its own performance, far away from the distance of the Tianzi No. 5 car more than ten zhang, and those gentlemen were excited to see that they were about to make money again.

It's a pity that just when passing the corner, the royal hand of the Tianzi No. 1 car couldn't slow down, and a side roll fell off the track, directly announcing failure.

"Hey! It's really fucking unlucky, can't that Mide drink too much? Seeing that there was an accident in the Tianzi No. 1 car, the gentleman just now slapped the railing in front of him in annoyance and scolded.

"Okay Xu Shao, gambling, there are always winners and losers." Li Jie's face didn't change much, "It's a restart." ”

The crowd didn't believe in evil, and blocked a few more handfuls, but under Qin Wang's instructions, how could they win, and they lost a lot after a while.

"Li Shao, let's stop here today, let's go back to the words." That Xu Shao looked at Li Jie and proposed.

"Shut up, Lao Tzu started horse racing at the age of thirteen, relying on luck? If you don't want to play, you can leave, Lao Tzu will play by himself. With so many brothers watching, of course Li Jie didn't want to just leave in such a gloomy way, he had already lost his red eyes, and scolded that Xu Shao loudly.

"Come on, Lao Tzu continue to bet!" After speaking, he greeted Xiao Er and said loudly.

"Young Master Li, I don't know how much you want to bet?" The guy in the field asked with a smiling face. But his eyes couldn't help but look at the empty tray next to Li Jie.

"Look at what, Lao Tzu bet on this!" Li Jie didn't know what this little second thought again, so he pulled off a jade pendant on his waist and slapped it in Xiao Er's tray.

That jade pendant is a priceless treasure at a glance, round and jade, without a trace of impurities.

"This, this, Young Master Li, the villain is clumsy, and he can't see his value. Wait, the villain called the shopkeeper to come and slap his eyes! Xiao Er said cautiously.

"Who is impatient to wait for you to come over, this is the high-quality Hetian jade that Lao Tzu has been carrying, even if it is three hundred taels of gold." Seeing that the game was about to start, Li Jie shouted impatiently.

Sure enough, he was a loser, and the jade pendant worth thousands of taels of gold was only pawned by him for three hundred taels of gold. Seeing this, the other gentlemen had to tear off all kinds of precious jewelry on their bodies and hand them over to Xiao Er's tray, and started another game.

The result was the same, another loss. Now they really have nothing but clothes.
