Chapter 43: The Road to Rivalry is Narrow

February is the National Day of the Great Qin Empire, and because it coincides with the Spring Festival, the entire 20 days of the month are a time of celebration, and during these 20 days, even the poorest people will try their best to make themselves and their families better.

During this period, the empire would open warehouses to release grain, so that those who could not eat enough could drink a month's worth of porridge, and on National Day, which was already Chinese New Year's Eve, a certain amount of meat and vegetables would be distributed.

There are nearly 400 million people in the empire, and there are as many as 10 million people in need of relief, so every year at this time, Zhisu Neishi and Shaofu will be very tormented, the former is the Minister of Agriculture of the Great Qin Empire, and the latter is the Minister of Finance of the Great Qin Empire.

The importance of his identity is definitely not inferior to that of the military and the founder, and his majesty the emperor will not care about the two of them, but in the days of February, once anything goes wrong, then His Majesty the emperor, who was slapped in the face, can only sprinkle his anger on the two, and he will be fined and beaten at the worst, and his head will be lost at the worst.

So this is a high-interest, high-risk errand, with the Great Qin Empire suffering a heavy blow ten years ago, the three princes and nine kings seem to have changed their flavor overnight, the new Taiwei is busy eliminating dissidents all day long, constantly suppressing the Zhang family in the army, supporting his own people, and the prime minister looks like he has nothing to do with himself, but in the end he still shows his stuffing above the court.

The Imperial Historian is recognized as the grass on the wall, which side is strong and which side is down. But he is in charge of the supervision of all local officials in the world, and his power is the largest in the locality, so even if he knows that he is a competent wall grass and is notoriously unresolute, His Majesty the Emperor and the anti-bone boy still try their best to win him over.

The three princes above are all messed up like this, how good are the people who can go straight down?

Open the warehouse to put grain, and now the granary is full of rats who have to cry out when they go in, the imperial finances? In addition to the inner treasury that came out of the royal independence, the outer treasury is now the general of the Shaofu Lord's own house, and he doesn't even know how much he can save!

But why do they dare to so arrogantly loot the people's fat and ointment and embezzle public funds?

The answer, of course, is that there are people behind him, there is the Taiwei and the prime minister, who turn a blind eye to the two bigwigs, and there is a business group called the "Ocean Chamber of Commerce" that shoots at every critical moment, and will be quietly made up for the deficit that the two adults have nothing to do.

That's why this Ocean Chamber of Commerce dares to act so arrogantly, because the two chief officials of the empire's agricultural merchants all rely on them to save their lives...

No, it's the time of the year again, and the head of the Zhang branch of the Great Qin Empire Branch of the Ocean Chamber of Commerce lit up batch after batch of cargo ships and began to directly deliver various materials from the four countries in the east to the empire itself.

······

"Young master, big guy, you must be interested!" On the Caribbean island, the blood shark rubbed its hands excitedly in front of Tang Ling.

"Which unlucky bastard makes you so happy?" Yesterday just completed the experiment of two new equipment, Tang Ling rarely chose to take a vacation to relax today, but was disturbed by the blood shark, Tang Ling decided, if the other party's answer could not satisfy him later, let this guy run naked on the shore for an hour today!

"Ocean Chamber of Commerce! These guys seem to have been frantically transporting a lot of supplies to the mainland of the empire every year for the past ten years, and they have also deliberately bypassed Polly Island and used a special shipping lane. ”

"Blood Shark, go back and ask Aunt Nine to increase your quota of two jars of wine every month!"

"Huh? Thank you, young master! "Blood Shark is a little stupid, it's a wine from Treasure Boat Island! It's a world of difference from those inferior products outside, and a report gets a total of ten catties of two jars per month, but this guy is very happy!

But at the same time, the smart blood shark also knew that such a reaction just showed how interested the young master was in the Ocean Chamber of Commerce.

He hasn't forgotten how he himself fell into the hands of the young master, and from his own point of view, he doesn't have much resentment towards the Ocean Chamber of Commerce now, on the contrary, if it weren't for them, how could he have the opportunity to become a member of Treasure Boat Island?

However, that doesn't mean he's going to thank the other person. He told himself that he must show more performance this time, this is a good time to increase the impression score!

After being a pirate for so many years, the blood shark naturally has its own way, and after half a day's effort, the blood shark figured out the general location of the secret channel of the Ocean Chamber of Commerce.

Immediately afterwards, in the remaining half a day, all the treasure ships on Treasure Island were recovered, led by Tang Wan'er and Shadow Dance, most of the high-level combat power of Treasure Island included pilots in ten squads, and nearly five hundred people rushed to the Caribbean Island at the fastest speed in dozens of powered warships.

Tang Ling, the sea power of the Ocean Chamber of Commerce, had already been like thunder, so in order to deal with them, he used sixty or seventy percent of the combat power he had, and it was still the scale of the elite.

"Young Master, are you sure you really want to do it?" On the third day, Tang Ling and Tang Wan'er and the others met, but Ying Wu asked as soon as they met.

"Tell me what you know!" Tang Ling said lightly, things are getting more and more interesting!

“······”

"In the past ten years, according to my investigation, our Zhisu Neishi and Lord Shaofu are blatantly stealing the country's wealth, and all they have not been discovered, that is, with the support of this Ocean Chamber of Commerce, they can still find a way to make up for this month's use, so the Ocean Chamber of Commerce must fill the treasury and grain depot within twenty days!"

"As eager as they are, if we do something to the Ocean Chamber of Commerce, the empire is likely to be in turmoil..."

After listening to Ying Wu's words, Tang Ling only felt that this was a very strange logic, but it reflected a very sad situation.

"Shadow Guard, it is the existence of secretly maintaining the stability of the empire, but now I think it is better for Shadow Guard not to exist!" As soon as Tang Ling's words fell, before Ying Wu could respond, surging spiritual power burst out from Tang Ling's body.

"Let me ask you, can there be such a thing as the Ocean Chamber of Commerce with an imperial account? But a group of foreign moths, when will the shadow guards worry about whether they will be able to cooperate with the ministers of the court and the central government to act within 20 days, deceive the emperor and deceive the people of the world? ”

“······”

"How did Great Qin build the country? When will a Great Qin person be afraid of fighting? ”

"Turmoil? If it goes on like this, it will perish! ”

"Don't tell me what shadow guards are going to do in the dark, if that's the case, what were you doing ten years ago? Tell me? ”

Tang Ling's voice slowly sank from the high-pitched voice, and when he reached the middle, it seemed to be a statement, but at the end, he suddenly raised his tone, turning an angry youth-style patriotic young man... Well, the role of patriotism in his childhood is vividly portrayed, and in order to make his actions righteous, Tang Ling also soared back to his acting skills.

Tang Ling's words were not vivid enough, but they also ruthlessly tore something, leaving Ying Wu speechless.

"Come on, all the members of the original shadow guard have been taken, and they are not allowed to leave the Caribbean island until we return, Hai Xiaofei will take twenty people to stay, but if there is the slightest movement, fire!"

At this time, Tang Ling's face was full of anger, and his mighty mental power made it difficult for people to come forward to intercede, not to mention that most of the people present recognized Tang Ling's speech, so no one came forward. This is a somewhat shameless guy who, for his own actions, yelled at a delicate beauty.

Because for Tang Ling, he knew that these people were like unfamiliar Wang, maybe the young team members could still be saved, but like Shadow Dance, even if Emperor Qin said that she wanted her to recognize herself as the master, serve herself from now on, and protect herself. But what if Emperor Qin ordered her to kill herself? What will the other party do? Tang Ling could guess with his toes, no matter what Emperor Qin thought, anyway, in his opinion, this was more like a person who was sent to spy on him, and a beating was necessary.

This is a dangerous world, and Tang Ling is a person who has the potential that a pirate should have, afraid of death, wants to make hair, likes to enjoy, does not like to be restrained, worships force, etc., etc. Perhaps, the people of this world are pirates...

Tang Ling knew that Emperor Qin would definitely have high hopes for himself with Tang Lingyun's efforts after learning about him, but the lessons of the dynasties and the thoughts of the kings were only known to them, and when they were obedient, they had to protect themselves, if they were not obedient? Hehe···

There is an aphorism in ancient times: Accompanying the king is like accompanying the tiger!

What's more, Tang Ling didn't have a companion yet, and the relationship between him and Emperor Qin was just Tang Lingyun, pale and a little weak.

Originated from the debt to the Tang family's mother and daughter?

Yes, there is absolutely this, but in the face of national interests and even safety, how much weight can my sister and niece have? Out of family affection, perhaps Emperor Qin was reluctant to hurt their mother and daughter again, but this does not seem to include Tang Ling, just like Tang Mingguang back then...

Thank? Grateful? Emperor Qin definitely has it in his heart, but that's a fart! Now Tang Mingguang hasn't even come back with the body, and there is nothing left when the person dies, so Tang Ling doesn't want to die!

It's like Tang Lingyun didn't even tell her daughter, but she told him all this in the first correspondence without reservation. Tang Ling realized that it was a woman with intelligence that was not inferior to that of a master's spiritual power, and the matter between her husband and her brother was no longer ready to be investigated, but as a mother, Tang Lingyun never wanted to see what happened to her daughter again!

So Tang Ling understood, so Tang Ling understood, so Tang Ling began to strengthen himself day and night and develop himself, so Tang Ling must hunt the Ocean Chamber of Commerce today at the risk of possibly turning against Emperor Qin.

First, the goods of the Ocean Chamber of Commerce are very useful for Tang Ling's next development. Second, he wanted to muddy the local waters, this matter was actually what Emperor Qin wanted to do but never dared to do, but Tang Ling had no scruples, as long as this could help Tang Lingyun, he didn't mind making a move!

The third and most important point is that it is a follow-up to the first point, fighting wars and developing all need money, Tang Ling has a lot of ways to make a lot of money, but the existence of the Ocean Chamber of Commerce is an incomparably huge obstacle, since it is an obstacle, it must be eradicated!
