Chapter 427: The Emperor's Mentality

In fact, Shao Yi's answer to Xia Zixi's question about his next plan was just a euphemism. He estimated that he didn't need to remind Liu Xie, Liu Xie had already seen something unusual from the Shao family's frequently moving guards.

In addition, in the entire Great Liang Dynasty, those who knew about the conspiracy of King Chengjun, except for the emperor, Liu Xie and Sun Congshan, were Shao Yi.

As for those under Liu Xie, except for a few henchmen who know about some inside, the rest are all explaining what to do, as for why they do this, as long as they understand people, they won't ask more.

They do hidden errands, and the less they know, the longer they live. Those who can be supervised by the guards of the Imperial City understand this truth.

In view of these reasons, Shao Yi must take the initiative to tell Liu Xie about this, even if there is blood and rain, it will not be related to the level of whistleblowing, nor can it be related to him Shao Yi. After all, this has already happened, and he is an insider.

After Shao Yi mentioned it to Liu Xie as if he had inadvertently and said that this matter might lead to a very secret matter, and it was inconvenient for him to interfere again, and he would withdraw all the people, Liu Xie didn't ask much, so he put the people who were investigated by the imperial city guards.

I have to say that Shao Yi's luck is really good, when he happened to meet Li that day, it was the time when she sold the finished embroidery, and new embroidery work also needed to start.

That's why he quickly discovered that the clues of the Li neighbor Wang Feihu and the people on the Chengjun Wang Zhuangzi handed over the embroidery.

When the matter is handed over to Liu Xie, it will be more troublesome.

The intelligence network that Liu Xie had woven in the capital was impenetrable, but in the face of the cautious planning of King Chengjun, he stared at it for more than a month before he discovered that Wang Feihu had contact with the people in the palace of Chengjun and conducted further investigation.

On this day, the emperor listened to Qujiang's report that the pond kiln had begun to feed, although there were twists and turns, but the progress was very good.

The better news was that in the process of heating the pond kiln, the use of more powerful black gold stones, the efficiency of the glass kiln was greatly improved.

The key thing to this news is that this is a new fuel, which can be used not only in glass furnaces, but also in smelting furnaces. Once the smelting furnace was successfully tested, the imperial court could organize manpower to mine the black gold stone on a large scale.

Qu Jiang asserted that if this mineral was put into smelting, it would not only greatly increase the steel production of the Liang Dynasty, but also improve the quality of steel.

This discovery is different from the civilian industry of glass. The smelting of copper and iron, which is a project controlled by the imperial court, has many things that mark the output and quality of iron, the strength of military power, and the development of many handicrafts.

In many industries, only enough iron can allow craftsmen to make utensils without being timid, so that craftsmen can be vigorously developed and renewed.

The emperor looked at the report presented by Qu Jiang, and his mood was so comfortable.

At the beginning, I was just thinking about calculating the glass technology of the Xia family, and wanted to give more taxes to the treasury and make the living environment of more people better. I didn't expect that such a big benefit would be made, which would greatly increase the national strength and military strength.

Thinking about it again, the border garrison seized the opportunity because of the telescope, creating a good situation and deterrent effect of the border war, Emperor Qingyuan felt that the Xia woman could almost be called the auspicious Rui of the Great Liang Dynasty.

When he was in a good mood, he was asked to see by Liu Xie and told him about the Li family he had found out and all the things brought out by the Li family.

The emperor's originally cheerful face turned very blue after hearing Liu Xieyu's report.

If he had just learned that King Chengjun had the intention of rebelling, he was still very annoyed in his heart. So now, two years have passed, and every move of King Chengjun is under his control, and the emperor at this time looks at King Chengjun, and he has a feeling of watching the clown performance.

King Chengjun was struggling to plan there, thinking that he was running everything in secret. And the truth is that all of this has been fully shown in front of the eyes of his opponents.

This opponent is still the emperor who has an absolute advantage. It can be said that the current emperor has regarded the plan of King Chengjun as a daily pastime.

However, hearing that Liu Xie's report came up, it still made the emperor annoyed again.

I don't blame the emperor for being angry, King Chengjun is just planning the throne, the purpose is the throne, and the murder of the emperor is separated by a layer of window paper after all.

But the woman he arranged to train was different, if she could be successfully sent to the palace in the future, once she had the opportunity to sleep, she didn't even have to be favored, maybe she could take his life as an emperor.

If King Chengjun's plan is deeper, he can wait until this woman is favored, and then give birth to a prince, and then plot to kill the emperor's life, this throne ...... Maybe it can really be handed over to King Chengjun smoothly without bloodshed.

In either case, the woman was going to take his life without the defenses of all sides...... How can he, the client, still be a joke?

The emperor's face changed several times before he sneered: "King Chengjun's scheming is really deep enough!" ”

Then he made a big turn and asked, "How is Liu Dafu's business doing?" ”

I have to say that as a businessman who can make the emperor say his name casually, Liu Dafu is very successful.

Liu Dafu was extremely talented in business, and before he entered the glass industry, his silk and satin cloth business spread all over the six southeastern counties, and even faintly overwhelmed other time-honored brands.

It's just that because the officials of the six southeastern counties collectively suppressed the glass in Pingyang County the year before last, Liu Dafu's business was also affected. Although the Cai family and King Chengjun tried their best to keep their business, they also suffered a lot of losses.

But after nearly two years of recovery, Liu Dafu's business, in addition to the glass industry, is still suppressed by the glass company in Binh Duong County. The rest of the business has not only recovered its previous scale, but has even spread beyond the six counties in the southeast, and there is a great momentum of doing the silk business throughout the south of the Yangtze River.

It is conceivable that in time, this Liu Dafu can definitely become a rich man in the world.

Since King Chengjun is no longer worried, the emperor is very willing to let Liu Dafu give full play to his talents, and when the business is big enough, he will take over the business of King Chengjun and Liu Dafu.

At that time, the king of Chengjun and the relevant ministers were confiscated, and all the businesses of Liu Dafu were confiscated...... Emperor Qingyuan could fully imagine how full the treasury would be after receiving such a windfall.

If the net is closed now, the emperor feels a little pity, so he will ask.

Liu Xie was melancholy, someone was already plotting your life, and your old man was still thinking about the accumulation of money from a businessman thousands of miles away...... He had nothing to say.

Your old man let a wolf ambition develop, as a courtier who monitors this matter, I am very stressed, okay?

If something is negligent in the process, resulting in serious consequences, this responsibility can be said to be not enough to exonerate the blame.

Liu Xie also rectified his mood, and reported the truth: "The silk business in the six southeastern counties is now basically under the orders of Liu Dafu's Hengrui silk and satin business. There are also several weaving and dyeing workshops in Huzhou and Jiangzhou that have been bought by him, and the development momentum is very good. ”

"It's a pity to stop now." Hearing such an answer, the emperor was very sorry and entangled.
