Just do what he said, Qiu Xiaoming immediately united the wealthy businessmen and the powerful people in the DPRK and China.

You know, apart from those rich merchants, which minister in the DPRK and China does not have one or two shops in his hands?

Therefore, as soon as Qiu Xiaoming came out in the name of resisting Su Le, many wealthy merchants and ministers united together, ready to resist Su Le and continue to enter other businesses.

"Your Majesty, the lord of Sule is a business genius, and now the lord of Sule has also made a great contribution to the northern country, but in this way, those of us who are not as smart as her will suffer, don't you know, since the lord of Sule has been doing business in the north, how many rich businessmen have closed down, and many people have become ordinary people because of the lord of Sule, which is also a loss to our northern country, so Weichen suggested that the business of the lord of Sule be restricted, and no more than three stores should be opened in each place, otherwise she will open a whole street and a whole street, and those rich businessmen will be completely replaced by her sooner or later, at that time, the livelihood of the entire northern country is probably only her Sule county lord alone。 ”

The minister who admonished him actually said that, just to let Emperor Zhao restrain Su Le, and not let Su Le 'drive them out', but he didn't want to, as soon as his words came out, Emperor Zhao thought deeply.

For the minister's words are not unreasonable.

If the business opportunities of the entire northern country are in the hands of Su Le, then wouldn't Su Le have the 'power of life and death'? If she is unhappy and closes all the shops at once, then the northern country will fall into a crisis of people's livelihood.

After all, everyone has to eat and wear, if these are all in Su Le's hands......

Emperor Zhao was secretly frightened in his heart, so he summoned Zhao Chaoyang immediately and discussed with him in private.

"Chaoyang, what do you think of this?" Emperor Zhao asked.

Zhao Chaoyang: "Father, the reason why those ministers said that is probably because they are worried about the damage to their own interests, after all, they all have their own shops in their hands, and Su Le's talent also makes them afraid, so what they say may not be true, even if it is true, Sister Le's own business kingdom, she has spent money and effort, and she has no reason to joke about her own shop, so Sister Le should not have such a vicious mind." ”

"But I'm not afraid of ten thousand, I'm afraid of what if, what if one day she is unhappy and really does such a thing?" Although Emperor Zhao didn't quite believe that Su Le would do that, people were like this sometimes, and they would always want to control what they were worried about, otherwise they would feel uneasy.

Zhao Chaoyang stroked his chin, thought for a while, and said: "Father, how about this, since those ministers admonished and said that they should let Sister Le restrict the opening of shops, since this is the case, then we can limit it, but the words of three seem to be a little less, and they can be added to five, in the same place, one person has five stores, which is not much, but it is not too much, it is a reasonable request, so it will not refute Sister Le's face too much." ”

Emperor Zhao nodded: "Okay, I'll leave this matter to you." ”

At this time, hearing Zhao Chaoyang's words, Su Le raised his eyebrows lazily, his eyes were smiling, and he didn't seem to have any unhappy emotions.

"Sister Le, I know that this matter has made you feel a little wronged, but the ministers admonished Your Majesty, and Your Majesty can't ignore the feelings of the ministers, otherwise you will lose the hearts of the ministers, in that case, it is easy to cause the ministers to rebel, which is not what Your Majesty wants to see. ”

Su Le smiled faintly: "Okay, I don't blame you, five is five, it doesn't matter." ”

Hearing this, Zhao Chaoyang finally smiled: "That's good, I hope Sister Le won't blame us for this." ”

"Don't worry! ”

After getting Su Le's affirmation, Zhao Chaoyang left with confidence, and it was not until Zhao Chaoyang left that Hua Rong said: "Girl, it seems that what you said is right, next, we may not be able to move an inch." ”

"The wind will block the water and cover the earth, and our business is not too ambitious, but whether it can become a boutique in the eyes of people. ”

Hua Rong: "Yes, it's good that your goal was not like this from the beginning, otherwise you would have been interrupted by them." ”

Su Le smiled slightly: "Putting all your eggs in one basket is something that only stupid people do, do you think your girl looks like a stupid person? The food court is just a bait I threw out, buying the house on East Street, and it is just a dormitory for my slaves, they think too much." ”

Hearing this, Hua Rong burst out laughing: "Girl, it's obvious that you are the one who induces people to make everyone think that you are opening a business on East Street." ”

It turned out that Su Le's plan from the beginning was not to open a whole clothing store, and the deliberate intention of opening a store was also to confuse her opponent and let her opponent make a move first, so that she could make a move.

No, as soon as those rich businessmen heard that Su Le had another move, they were so afraid that they joined forces to suppress it, and they even stabbed Emperor Zhao about it.

But unfortunately, what they didn't know was that this was in Su Le's hands, because Su Le didn't plan to open clothing stores together, after all, opening them together didn't have much effect, and only by spreading them out could they really spread their business.

And Emperor Zhao gave her such a restriction, but Su Le could expand it very well, and it would not be hindered.

At this time, Qiu Xiaoming, Mrs. Qiu and the others didn't know Su Le's plan, so they thought that they had succeeded, and at this time, they all showed smiling faces and were triumphant.

"I'll just say, how can she be a Su Le to fight against the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty, although I am only the county commander of Beicheng, but no matter how I say it, there are bureaucrats I know above, and I don't give them any benefits every year, besides, they are now worried about how to deal with Su Le, I mention this, they naturally know how to do it, and they don't need me to do it myself, madam, you have a wonderful trick!"

In the end, Qiu Xiaoming looked at his wife appreciatively.

Mrs. Qiu chuckled proudly: "Of course, you don't look at your wife who was also a talented girl in Beicheng back then, this little trick can still be figured out, but it's ......"

"But?"

"Husband, although there are ministers in this matter, it seems that it has nothing to do with us, but Biaozi has offended Su Le after all, and we still have to do superficial work on this matter, but it really can't work, so we have to be tough. ”

Qiu Xiaoming nodded: "That's right, then I'll take Biaozi to Xianghuang Mansion for a while, and see what Su Le's reaction is." ”

"Well, go ahead!" said Lady Qiu.

Xianghuang Mansion.

Su Le stared at the sudden arrival of the Beicheng County Order, and she smiled coldly: "Lord Qiu, I already know your intentions, but what I want to say is that your brother-in-law is not an ordinary arrogance!

"No, no, no, Lord Sule, you misunderstood, Sanbiaozi just drank some wine that day, and he lost his words after drinking, he is actually not like this on weekdays. ”

Qiu Xiaoming hurriedly denied it, and the three biaozi on the side also immediately shook their heads: "Yes, Lord Sule, that was a pure misunderstanding, really, the grass people drank too much wine that day, so they did such a foolish thing, so, as soon as the people sober up, we will quickly apologize." ”

Su Le glanced at them coldly, and said sarcastically: "Do I look like a stupid person? In Beicheng, who doesn't know what kind of person San Biaozi is? Do you need me to send someone to check it? So don't pretend to be crazy and stupid in front of me, I Su Le don't eat this." ”

"Lord Su Le, according to what you say, are you not going to forgive my brother-in-law?" Qiu Xiaoming's tone cooled down a lot, and his expression no longer trembled.

Looking at his changes, Su Le elegantly hooked his red lips: "Do you have anything worthy of my forgiveness?"

A gangster, a dog official, neither of them is a good thing, such a person, Su Le really can't think of anything worthy of his forgiveness.

So although he didn't really want to deal with them, Su Le didn't want to make these villains feel better, at least he had to scare them and make them restrain a little.

But Su Le didn't know that these people in front of him had already made plans, if it didn't work soft, then it would be hard.

Although Qiu Xiaoming's official authority is not big, he is also a parent official, and he is also a parent official of the imperial city like Beicheng, so he must have some killers who can do things for him, naturally, if he really wants to make trouble, Qiu Xiaoming is not too afraid.

No, hearing Su Le's unrelenting tone, Qiu Xiaoming stopped pretending: "Since this is the case, I hope that the county lord of Su Le will not regret today's matter." ”

After that, Qiu Xiaoming left with Sanbiaozi.

It wasn't until he walked out of Xianghuang Mansion that Qiu Xiaoming said coldly: "Hmph, isn't it just a woman, if it weren't for Your Majesty's favor, she would be nothing." ”

"Brother-in-law, it seems that this little lady is not going to let me go, so what should we do next?" asked San Biaozi.

"If you hadn't caused this, would I need to be so quiet?" Qiu Xiaoming glared at him fiercely, but despite this, he still said: "It's just a woman, could it be that my Qiu Xiaoming can't fight a woman?" If that's the case, then my county order will be in vain." ”

The county order, although this official position is not big, but it is the position that can abuse power and get benefits, as long as you take the money to stuff the mouth above, the people below are not at his kneading?

So for this official position, Qiu Xiaoming has always been very satisfied.

Although Su Le's identity is relatively special, fortunately, not everyone likes people like Su Le, at least those ministers and wealthy businessmen don't like it.

Because Su Le blocked their way to wealth as soon as he came, how could they like it.

So even if he wants to be an opponent for Su Le, Qiu Xiaoming doesn't have any pressure, as long as he curries favor with the ministers above, he believes that even if Su Le dies, he won't be able to involve himself.

Because Nanguo said that Su Le could go back at any time, and did not restrict Su Le's entry and exit, Su Le even stated that he would not return to Nanguo now, so he asked Zhao Chaoyang to withdraw the Praetorian Guards.

Of course, Zhao Chaoyang didn't agree at the beginning, but Su Le repeatedly asked, and said that they followed him so that they had no freedom, so Zhao Chaoyang had to withdraw the people.

"Hey, it's a good day, it's freedom when no one is watching. Su Le stretched out, in a very good mood.

"Girl, there is news from the south that King Wu has woken up. ”

Su Le shrugged his shoulders, not too surprised: "As long as his illness is not mistaken, it is normal to wake up!"

"Also, Yu Pian said that the clothing supply shop over there was ready, and she asked when we could do it here. ”

"Right now, let her side do it too. Su Le replied, and as she spoke, she asked again, "By the way, what about Chen'er, why haven't you seen him all day today?"

"The little boy is playing with Xiao Han!"

Xiao Han is the grandson of the old man Yan, because Su Le wants to buy the old house of the old man Yan, and promised to treat him, and promised to give them a new house, but the new house has not yet been chosen, Su Le asked them to live in Xianghuang Mansion temporarily, and they can also be treated nearby.

No, Old Man Yan's grandson Xiaohan and Su Chen have played, the two of them are like brothers, they have a good time, they don't want Su Le's mother.

Hearing Hua Rong's words, Su Le smiled helplessly: "This stinky boy." ”

"Since Chen'er and Xiao Han have a good time, you talk to Old Man Yan and ask him if he is willing to let Xiao Han stay in Xianghuang Mansion to be a scholar for Chen'er, if he is willing, they will live in Xianghuang Mansion in the future! ”

"Okay, go back and ask. ”

For Su Le's proposal, Old Man Yan was still a little hesitant at first, but thinking that he was an old man, he didn't know how many years he would live, if Xiao Han became Su Chen's scholar, he would have a support in the future, and even if he left, he would not be bullied, so after thinking about it, Old Man Yan agreed.

Su Chen was naturally very happy when he heard that Xiao Han could play with him in the future.

"Mother, Chen'er will have someone to play with you in the future, then you will do things after you go out, and I won't be bored at home. Su Chen happily circled around Su Le.

Su Le stroked his head with some distress: "Well, it was my mother who didn't think about it before, and it was my mother who made you feel bored, so let Xiao Han play with you in the future!"

"Xiao Han, treat this place as your home in the future, if Chen'er bullies you, you tell me, and I will clean up this kid for you. Su Le turned to Xiao Han and said.

Hearing this, before Xiao Han could speak, Su Chen had already said: "Mother, I won't bully Xiao Han!"

"Yes, yes, my family is the most well-behaved. Su Le smiled.

......

The Praetorian Guards around Su Le withdrew, which also gave some small opportunities, so Qiu Xiaoming was also waiting for Su Le to be alone......

It's just that Qiu Xiaoming hasn't waited for this opportunity, but Su Le suddenly received a news that Yu Pian was assassinated in the south and was seriously injured.

"Bastard!" Su Le was angry, Yu Mercy was her person, and to do it to Yu Mercy was to do it to her, of course, these were not the point, the point was that someone did it to her Su Le's people, which made her very unhappy.

Hua Rong: "It seems that the situation in the south and the north is the same, whether it is the north or the south, there are people who don't want the girl's business kingdom to become stronger, and they have begun to interfere." ”

Su Le's brows furrowed: "Youlian is seriously injured now, I have to go to the southern country, it's just ......"

If she leaves, she will inevitably alarm Emperor Zhao, so what reason should she leave, and she can still get Emperor Zhao to allow it?

Su Le thought about it again and again, but he couldn't think of a reason to make Emperor Zhao let him go, and in the end, Su Le could only say this: "Since you can't leave clearly, you can only go quietly in secret." ”

Hearing this, Hua Rong immediately exclaimed: "How can this be done? If you leave and are discovered by Emperor Zhao, what will Emperor Zhao think? Maybe there will be trouble again." ”

Now that he has finally balanced this uneasy energy, if Su Le makes any more moves, presumably Emperor Zhao will not believe Su Le's words in the future.

So you can't leave in secret.

"This doesn't work, that doesn't work, what should I do? Could it be that I will let You Pian suffer in the southern country? And since those people have already done it, and You Pian is not dead now, it doesn't mean that they will not let Yu Pian die in the future, they can assassinate Yu Pian once and do it a second time. And this is what Su Le is really worried about.

You Lian has been following Su Le for several years, and Su Le also has a sisterly affection for Yu Lian, so knowing that You Lian is in danger now, how could she be indifferent.

"Girl, Hua Rong knows that you are in a hurry, but it's useless to be anxious now! unless you can come up with something to reassure Emperor Zhao, ......"

"Wait, what did you just say?" Su Le interrupted Hua Rong's words.

Hua Rong was stunned for a moment and said, "It's useless for you to be in a hurry." ”

"Not this sentence, the next sentence. ”

"You can come up with something that reassures Emperor Zhao. ”

"Yes, that's it. Su Le smiled: "I can't leave secretly, it's nothing more than worrying about Emperor Zhao's heart, so it's better to leave openly, but I always have to have things and things that reassure him, otherwise he will worry that I won't go back." ”

"yes, you didn't already know that. Hua Rong looked at Su Le with some doubts, because these had been analyzed a long time ago.

"I have a reason to reassure him. ”

"What reason?"

Su Le squinted slightly, and said a little helplessly: "Chen'er, he is the son I care about the most, if I want to leave, I can only hand over Chen'er to Emperor Zhao, so that Emperor Zhao won't worry that I won't return to the northern country." ”

"What? you, do you mean to let the little boy become Emperor Zhao's proton?" Hua Rong was shocked, because she never expected Su Le to say such a thing.

Hearing this, Su Le didn't answer, but turned around and walked towards Su Chen's courtyard.

Walking into the yard, at this time, Su Chen and Xiaohan were playing a grid game in the yard, and when they saw Su Le coming, Su Le ran over: "Mother!"

"Chen'er, my mother has something to discuss with you. Su Le pulled Su Chen aside and sat down.

Su Chen didn't know what Su Le wanted to say to him, so he just looked at her silently, waiting for her to speak.

Su Le didn't know how much Su Chen could understand, but she told him her thoughts as much as she could, of course, she didn't say anything too complicated, she just said that Yu Pian was seriously injured in the southern country, and she had to go to the southern country, but Emperor Zhao would not let her go, except for Su Chen to stay in the northern country.

Hearing that he was going to be separated from his mother, Su Chen frowned his little face, not very happy, but when he heard that Yulian was seriously injured, Su Chen still said very sensibly: "Mother, Chen'er knows, Sister Youpian is injured, you have to save her, but the north and the south are hostile, you can't leave casually, so Chen'er has to be a proton in the north, so you can leave, right?"

Su Le's heart twitched when he heard this sentence: "Chen'er ......"

"Mother, don't say it, Chen'er is eight years old, you understand, you can go with confidence! Chen'er goes to Uncle Chaoyang, Uncle Chaoyang will protect Chen'er, you can rest assured, Chen'er is waiting for you to come back." Although Su Chen seems innocent and cute, he is a smart person, and he is no longer the little milk baby who was ignorant of everything three years ago, so he also understands Su Le's difficulties, and he also knows that Su Le doesn't really want himself.

"Chen'er!" Su Le hugged him, his eyes moistened: "By the way, my mother is not strong enough to take you with me, but my mother promised you that this is the first and last time, and my mother will never let you stay here by yourself in the future." ”

After that, Su Le took Su Chen to Chaoyang Palace.

Seeing Su Le and Su Chen's arrival, Zhao Chaoyang was also very happy, but when he heard that Su Le was going to the south, Zhao Chaoyang lowered his eyebrows: "Sister Le, you should know that the south country and our north country are hostile relations, so I can't let you leave." ”

Su Le ignored his words, she just said, "Do you know who I care about the most?"

Hearing this, Zhao Chaoyang smiled slightly, and then patted Su Chen's little head: "Of course it's this kid, otherwise there can be anyone." ”

Su Le is famous for spoiling Su Chen, anyone who is disrespectful to Su Chen or bullies him, Su Le will not agree, you must know that when Zhao Chaoyang first met Su Le, at that time, Su Le had just returned to the dynasty, but he still came back with Su Chen, a child with an unknown father, and publicly admitted it, which shows the importance of Su Chen to Su Le.

So if you say who Su Le cares about, Su Chen must be the best candidate.

Su Le: "I'll hand him over to you, but you have to promise me that when I come back, he won't be missing a single hair." ”

Zhao Chaoyang was stunned for a moment, and then seemed to understand something: "You, you don't want him to ......"

The last words, Zhao Chaoyang didn't say it, but the meaning was very clear, Su Le nodded: "Yes, let Chen'er stay, this is in exchange for me to leave the northern country temporarily." ”

"Aren't you worried about what's going to happen to Chen'er here?"

"I'm worried, so I can only come to you, I can't trust others. Su Le said sincerely.

If there is anyone else in the north who can make her more reassured, then this person must be Zhao Chaoyang, before Su Le returned to the north, Su Le had people observe Zhao Chaoyang.

Zhao Chaoyang is a kinder person, and he is more favored by Emperor Zhao, so Su Le is more relieved to hand over Su Chen to him.

Hearing this, Zhao Chaoyang could only smile and say: "My sister said that, what else can I say, since my sister can trust Chaoyang, then Chaoyang also believes in my sister once, you can go! I will also take care of Chen'er, but I hope you can come back as soon as possible, otherwise it will be difficult for me to explain to my father and emperor after a long time." ”

"Okay, I got it!"

This was the first time Su Le had separated from Su Chen, Su Le was reluctant and had countless worries, but she knew that she had to go to the southern country.

The situation in the south was a bit grim, Su Le had to go in person, and more importantly, she was injured, and Su Le couldn't ignore it, so this time, she made the most undesirable decision.

"Girl, don't worry! The little boy is close to the moon and the sinking fish, and the smiling fourth and fifth senior brothers are also secretly protecting the little boy, nothing will happen. Hua Rong said soothingly.

What Su Le cares about most is Su Chen, but now he wants Su Le to leave Su Chen alone in the northern country, how can Su Le feel at ease, naturally, along the way, Su Le has been dull and silent.

Hearing this, Su Le sighed: "I'm really a failure as a mother, I used to pretend to be crazy and stupid, and Chen'er followed me to suffer, although Chen'er has lived a comfortable life in Purple Valley in the past few years, but now it's ......"
