The lights in the room were bright, there was a strange fragrance floating in the air, and everything seemed peaceful and quiet, but Han Mo was shocked because of these secret histories of the Qingguo royal family that Cao Yin recounted, and when he heard that Qingguo and the former prince's mother and son were buried in the fire at the same time, he was shocked, but also a little embarrassed

It seems that not only is the royal family of Yan Kingdom full of hardships, but the sinister palace of this Qingguo is not inferior to that of Yan Kingdom

Zi'er becomes a substitute, and it is inevitable to fall into this dangerous place, but compared to Shuang'er, Zi'er's scheming city is obviously much stronger, and in the inner garden of the palace, only such a person can survive with difficulty

"was burned to death one after another, and the back position was vacant, so naturally another queen had to be established" Cao Yin said slowly: "Although there were many disputes in the middle, in the end, it was this Concubine Lu who ascended the throne of the queen and became the mother of the country."

"This woman is really not simple" Han Mo sighed: "In just five years, she has been able to have the power of turning the clouds and rain in Qingguo, and she can go toe-to-toe with a figure like Shang Zhongli...... Bright"

Cao Yin said with a smile: "The so-called one person ascends to heaven, the chicken dog gets, Concubine Lu becomes the queen of Qing, the Lu clan in Hexi is naturally soaring, but the luck of the Lu businessman is really bad, his daughter became the queen, but he was killed by a serious illness, and the majesty was not put out, so he went to the king of Hades to report" paused, and continued: "It's just that the Lu family has indeed been blessed because of this, and the two elder brothers of Qinghou have all entered the court, one is the Lu Shangde we saw, the uncle of Qingguo, and the other is Lu Shangxin, These two people, known as Uncle Xiaoguo, are the main figures of the Hou Party......"

Han Mo said: "These two uncles think they have helped Qinghou a lot."

Cao Yin showed a weird smile, this weird smile appeared on his beautiful face, but it seemed to have a strange beauty, "The rise of the post-party, really want to talk about it, but Emperor Qing is a great Emperor Qing covets beauty, the world knows, this Qinghou is a generation of beauty, and there are enough means, naturally it is deeply favored by Emperor Qing This Chongren Emperor is not stingy, after Concubine Lu ascended to the position of queen, Emperor Qing's reward for the Lu family has never been broken at the beginning is to reward gold, silver and wealth, and later, It is to wantonly reward the land, the land obtained by the uncle of the big and small countries, that is tens of thousands of tilts, plus the land obtained by other clansmen of the Lu clan, if Benhou is not wrong, the land of Qingguo today, the Lu clan is already two out of ten"

Han Mo's eyes flashed with different colors, so it seems that this Emperor Qing is really a big faint monarch

The emperor of Yan was enduring humiliation and burden, thinking of recovering the land from the family step by step, this Qing Emperor was good, but he rewarded a large area of Qingguo's land to his relatives

In fact, deep in Han Mo's heart, he really had some admiration for Emperor Yan

At least Emperor Yan was an ambitious emperor, and was able to endure adversity, to endure the unbearable humiliation of an emperor, and never forgot to restore the authority of the imperial family

In the comparison of Emperor Yan, the emperor of Qingguo is really too bad

"And the Lu clan has also made full use of these lands" Cao Yin said calmly: "On these lands, there are countless manors, each manor is a stronghold of the Hou Party, they have hired a large number of strong men, cultivated the land for them, and exploited the mining resources Qingguo has a lot of land, and the Lu clan occupies two percent of the land, which is already an extremely vast large piece of land, how many strong men do you need to employ?" And how much wealth can these lands create for them? The Lu family's manor is all over the land of Qingguo, and if the strong men under its jurisdiction are gathered, it is not a small number of people who have silver, and the foundation of the Lu family has been deeply rooted in Qingguo."

Although Han Mo is a native of Yan Country, but when he heard this, he was also shocked, the Lu clan showed it like this, but Emperor Chongren let it be, this is already the appearance of the country

It's just that for Yan Guo, the more chaotic Qingguo is, the better

"Qingguo people pay attention to luxury, and the expenses required by the officials of Qingguo are more than that of my Dayan officials, but it is several times more" Cao Yin still had that weird smile on the corner of his mouth: "Especially those civil officials in Qingguo, vassal elegance is popular, but those elegant things are often the most expensive, so the officials of Qingguo, what they lack most on hand is silver, and what Qinghou does not lack in his hands is also silver...... Those who have silver and those who lack silver, eyebrows, will naturally come together very easily, Qingguo has a lot of literati, Ben Hou thinks that my Dayan Kingdom is not as good as the people of Qingguo in the way of literature, but these elegant skills are to make their backbone slowly disappear, and the officials who bend their knees to Qinghou are all over the court"

Han Mo sighed lightly: "Sitting on a large piece of land, with a solid foundation, and there are a large number of eagle dogs in the court, and the emperor behind her obeys her, it is no wonder that Qinghou can call for wind and rain in Qingguo."

Cao Yin said leisurely: "The Hexi Lu clan was originally a person in the business world, but now it has changed and become a relative of the emperor......

"Master Hou, since you have become a relative of the emperor, will the Lu family continue to engage in business?" When Han Mo heard this, he seemed to think of something, and couldn't help asking: "Of the four major merchants in Qingguo at the beginning, there are only three left now?" ”

Cao Yin said with a smile: "Since it has become a relative of the emperor, the Lu family is naturally not good at doing business on the bright side, but the business world that the Lu family in Hexi has beaten down for several generations, and naturally will not leave behind the four major merchants of Qingguo, Guan, Yun, Lu, and Tao, which are all extremely financially strong, but the Lu family and the Tao family were rivals of each other in the shopping mall, this Lu Concubine became the queen of Qing, and the fate of the Tao family is unknown, in just one year, the Tao family was rectified and bankrupt, it is said that many children of the Tao family are reduced to beggars, begging along the street This means of settling accounts after the autumn of Qinghou, It's also very straightforward."

Hearing the word "Guan" among the four major merchants, Han Mo's brows twitched slightly, and he looked at Cao Yin quietly, waiting for him to continue

He only appeared today, this handsome marquis who is cool and good at chrysanthemums, and he really knows a lot of things in his head

"It's this Guan family, and the Lu family has always been good friends, when Qinghou's father, and even with the head of the Guan family as brothers, these two families complement each other in the shopping mall, help each other, and have a great relationship The Lu family has become a relative of the emperor, so naturally they can't continue to do business on the bright side, but they have lost the business on the Guan family, and the Guan family has become the treasury of the Hou Party" Cao Yin smiled and said: "With the support of the Hou Party, this Guan family has business all over the four countries, and it can be regarded as the largest merchant today......" He smiled and blinked his eyes and looked at Han Mo," Donghai Commerce, the Guan family that provides you with goods, that is the people of the Hou Party"

Han Mo opened his mouth, the corners of his eyes jumped, but he didn't know what to say for a while

What Cao Yin said tonight was all surprising, this Guan family was a member of the post-party, which surprised Han Mo again

He knew early on that the Guan family trading house was huge and must have a strong backstage in Qingguo, and he also guessed that there must be someone in the Guan family in the government and opposition in Qingguo

It's just that he never thought that the Guan family would be supported by Qinghou in the back, nor did he expect Guan Shaohe to be a member of the Hou Party

"What about the Yun family?" Han Mo couldn't help but ask

When it comes to the "Yun" family, Han Mo's first thought is naturally Yun Canglan, but he doesn't know if Yun Canglan is a member of the Yun family, one of the four major merchants in Qingguo?

In addition, Han Mo thought of another person

When he was at the beginning of Guan Shaohe in the East China Sea, Han Mo clearly remembered that the first time he went to Guan Shaohe's Guan Trading House, he ran into another big Qing merchant who went to Guan Shaohe's Trading House to find fault

Han Mo's memory is not weak, it seems that the guy who went to the Guan trading house to find fault is also surnamed Yun, called Yun Shilan

Yun Shilan seems to be a big fat man, who had a conflict with Guan Shaohe, and later had a conflict with Du Bingyue, the female overlord of the sea, and finally was intimidated by Han Mo, the little overlord of the East China Sea, and left the East China Sea

Is there anything between Yun Shilan and Yun Canglan?

"The Yun family was in the four major merchants of Qingguo, occupying the position" Cao Yin explained: "In terms of speaking, among the four major merchants, the Yun family is the first to rise, if the information is correct, in the era of the previous dynasty, the Yun family began to do business Yun family originated from Zhongshan County, Qingguo, Zhongshan Yun is also a merchant inherited by Qingguo for more than a hundred years, deeply rooted in the business community of Qingguo, very prestigious and connected, when the Qing Dynasty Li took Qi and replaced it, this Zhongshan Yun secretly supported the Li family and provided a large amount of money to subsidize, so after the Qing Dynasty, This Yun family will naturally be valued, with the support of the imperial court, the Yun family's business will naturally become bigger" paused, and said with a smile: "Even if the Lu family handed over the business to the Guan family on the bright side, the assets of the two wealthy merchants of Guan and Lu were merged into one place, and the Yun family became the largest merchant in Beiqing, but the Yun family does not seem to be afraid, over the years, it has been able to compete with the Guan family, in the shopping mall, although the freight rate is slightly weak, but the Guan family wants to defeat the Yun family, in the current view, it is almost impossible"

"With Qinghou supporting, the Guan family can't defeat the Yun family, so it can only be said that the Yun family also has a backer in the court" Han Mo said slowly: "Qingguo can fight against Qinghou, only Shang Zhongli ...... Does that mean that the backer behind the scenes of the Yun family is the military? ”

Cao Yin said with a smile: "You can think of this, it's already good The Yun family has a close relationship with the military, in fact, more than half of the equipment and materials of the Qing □□□ side are handed over to the Yun family to raise the dispute between the military and the rear party, which spreads to all corners of the Qing country, from top to bottom, even the shopping mall can't escape."

"So Yun Canglan and the Yun family, is there also a relationship?" Han Mo finally asked the question in his heart

Cao Yin smiled and said, "Yun Canglan...... It is indeed a child of the Zhongshan Yun clan."
