"Really?" This time, Cao Rui was even more surprised and couldn't close his mouth.

"What did the old man do to lie to you?" Seeing Cao Rui's reaction, Zheng Yongji smiled lightly, "Even, the old man heard that jade is not worth much at all in Myanmar, and even the locals mix these jade stones with ordinary stones to pave roads."

If Cao Shangshu doesn't believe it, you can go and inquire, it happened that a messenger came from Myanmar the day before yesterday, and I think he hasn't left Beijing yet. ”

"Thank you, Elder Ge, for telling me!" This time, Cao Rui couldn't sit still at all, hugged his fists and thanked him, and left in a hurry.

When he returned to his mansion, Cao Rui ordered someone to find the messenger who had entered Beijing from Myanmar and asked, "The old man heard that the rice in Myanmar is ripened three times a year, I don't know if it's true or not?" ”

"Nature is true!" The messenger replied, "The little man has been in Burma for half a year, and knows a little bit about the situation in Burma, where rice is not only grown three times a year. Moreover, the land is so fertile that the locals only sprinkle the seeds in the ground during the annual planting season. It is strange to say that this is the case, their yield per mu per quarter is much higher than that of Jiangnan.

Therefore, the local people will not worry about the problem of food at all, and even the rations of our Great Zhou army over there are provided by Burma. ”

Hearing this, Cao Rui's heart couldn't help but be shocked, and he asked again: "What about jade?" Is there also a wealth of jade in the local area? ”

"Yes, jade is not worth much at all in Myanmar. Before coming back, the villain was fortunate enough to pick up a few pieces on the side of the road, but he didn't think that yesterday the villain sold those pieces of jade to a jade shop, and even sold them for two taels of silver.

So the villain thought, when he returns to Myanmar, he must pick up more and come back to sell them......"

This time, Cao Rui was completely shocked. Imagine, a jade picked up casually on the side of the road can be sold for two taels of silver, so what if it is better?

I'm afraid that it will be a wealth of heaven.

After making up his mind and ordering someone to send the messenger away, Cao Rui said in his heart: "In the future, Myanmar will be the third prince, and the wealth there will naturally belong to the third prince." No, the old man must urge the officials to draw up a list of personnel transferred to Myanmar, and then send a few reliable people to the three princes to guard this earth-shattering wealth for the three princes. ”

Cao Rui can also be regarded as understanding, after this, I am afraid that the three princes will completely lose their chance to the throne. In this way, it is not impossible to be a prince, not to mention that Myanmar is still so rich?

"But who should be sent to Burma to assist the three princes?" For a while, Cao Rui was a little difficult. To say that Cao Rui has a lot of henchmen, but now that Myanmar has so much wealth, Cao Rui, who knows that wealth is moving, naturally does not believe that his henchmen and cronies will be like water in the face of Myanmar's pouring wealth.

Since outsiders dare not trust, Cao Rui can only choose from his own people.

In Cao Rui's view, only the clansmen can be relied on, and they can wholeheartedly guard the wealth of Myanmar for the three princes.

So that night, Cao Rui drew up a list of several clansmen and personally sent them to the Ministry of Officials.

At the same time, Cao Rui ordered his wife to enter the palace to meet his daughter and ventilate her daughter. Otherwise, it would be terrible for the daughter to blow a pillow wind for His Majesty and ask the emperor to change the canonization.

The yamen of the Ministry of Officials, looking at the list of several personnel submitted by Cao Rui, Chen Yiming frowned and said, "Cao Shangshu, are you a little too much?"

If it's just three or two people. The old man can still call the shots and join them, but you have more than 20 people at once, and they are all members of your Cao clan, which makes the old man embarrassed. ”

"Chen Shangshu is too worried!" Cao Rui said disapprerovitically: "Myanmar will be the fief of the three princes in the future, and if you send someone else to guard the three princes, the old man doesn't believe it, what if they are full?"

So the old man thought about it, or his own people were more reliable! ”

"Since ancient times, wealth has moved people's hearts, isn't Cao Shangshu afraid that your people will also enrich their own pockets?" Chen Yiming asked.

"The old man naturally doesn't have to worry about this problem, in fact, when he made this list, the old man thought about it, but all the people sent to Myanmar, their wives and children will stay in Luoyang, so what does the old man have to worry about?"

"Cao Shangshu is really far-sighted!" Chen Yiming said with a smile, "But the old man can't be the master of this matter, in case His Majesty asks after reading it, how do you let the old man answer?" ”

"Chen Shangshu doesn't have to worry about this, you can tell Your Majesty about the old man seeing you today, and the old man will have his own way to deal with it at that time."

"The method Cao Shangshu said won't be from Concubine Cao's side, right?"

Chen Yiming glanced at Cao Rui, saw Cao Rui smiling and silent, and said in his heart: "Sure enough! ”

"In that case, then the old man will just submit this list!" Anyway, he doesn't have to take responsibility himself, so Chen Yiming naturally doesn't have to be embarrassed.

"In this way, thank you Chen Shangshu!"

……

When Cao Rui met Chen Yiming, his wife had already entered the palace to see his daughter Concubine Cao.

At this time, Concubine Cao's mood was extremely bad, and before Mrs. Cao came, she was furious in her dormitory, and she had smashed many bottles and cans.

Although the palace maids and eunuchs have been cleaned up, the palace still looks a little messy.

Seeing that her daughter was in such a bad mood, Mrs. Cao naturally knew what her daughter was angry about, so she stepped forward and persuaded: "Niangniang, didn't the old body say you, why are you so angry?" ”

"Mother, you said that the court originally agreed to be good, and the second prince was the king of Burma, why did the emperor suddenly change his mind and set Xu'er? It must have been the little slut of the noble concubine who spoke flatteringly in front of the emperor, which made His Majesty change his mind. Speaking of this, Concubine Cao gritted her teeth a little.

"Niangniang must have wronged the noble concubine!" Mrs. Cao didn't believe that this was a noble concubine making a hindrance, "You know, the second prince was sealed in Borneo, but the old body heard that it is worse than Burma." ”

"Yes!" Hearing her mother say this, Concubine Cao thought about it again and suddenly realized that Borneo is much farther away from the Central Plains than Myanmar, and there is still a sea barrier.

"Who could that be? Could it be the queen mother? Concubine Cao went through the harem concubines in her mind one by one, and finally found that the one who was most likely to blow the pillow wind to the emperor was the queen mother of the lord of the middle palace.

Among the princes' foreign families, they are now the most beautiful of the Cao family. Concubine Cao thought to herself: "It must be that the queen mother is worried that Xu'er will take the throne of her son as the crown prince in the future, so she came up with such a bad idea." ”

Thinking about it carefully, most of the emperors rested in the queen's bedroom in the past few days of the Chinese New Year, and Concubine Cao felt more and more that this was possible......
