After Qin Xuan left, Qin Zhao returned to the Qianyuan Hall alone and studied the [Great Xia Emperor List] again.

"Time is running out." He sighed.

"Now that the court has almost been rectified, the power of the six ministries is about to be closed, and then those hidden forces must all be uprooted."

With only thirty years left, he didn't have time to spend much energy on the inside.

Training, developing, pioneering, expanding, and improving the quality of the people is what we need to really spend great efforts on.

The Canglan Realm is an excellent training ground for the human race, and the countless alien races outside of Great Xia are wild monsters who brush up experience for the army in his eyes.

After cultivating an invincible army and raising the self-confidence of the people of Great Xia to the peak, the existence of the upper realm can be announced and preparations for real wars in the future.

But this road is not easy. Thirty years is not only not long, but very short.

You have to know how long the upper realm has existed. For countless years, the Canglan world has been regarded as a breeding farm. The human race is congenitally insufficient, how easy is it to overtake in corners?

If it weren't for the fact that he had the accumulation of modern knowledge and the existence of the [Luck Gold List], Qin Zhao might not dare to speak out against it, at least he would have passed the next Upper Realm first.

Even if you want to split the human race first, you will not hesitate to do so.

After gathering his aimless thoughts, he continued to analyze the current situation.

"After this incident in Donghai County, the other princes are no longer much of a threat. Moreover, the Zhou family is very familiar with current affairs, and it is enough to wait for the Tui En Order to slowly take effect, so there is no need to continue to target them.

"The key is still those folk school forces.

"Doctors and celebrities are all good to say, and what they are asking for is nothing more than a 'name'. When the [Tianxia School Palace] is completed and the people of the Legalists become famous all over the world, I believe that these people will inevitably come to join and write books.

"There are also farmers, although the individual luck of the people in this school is relatively low, there are quite a few of them, and they are exactly what I need at the moment, so it is worth paying attention to."

While thinking, he picked up the pen and recorded it on the brocade silk.

"As for the Organ City, someone has been sent to keep an eye on it just now, and they should be able to be found out soon.

"The rest are the Earth Alliance, the Ghost Valley, the Heavenly Master Dao, and the Lingyan Pavilion......

"The whereabouts of the people in the Ghost Valley are mysterious, and Zi doesn't know the specific situation. But they have a limited lifespan, and they are likely to jump out on their own, so there is no need to worry. ”

Qin Zhao narrowed his eyes slightly, "Lingyan Pavilion, Qin Wuwu ......"

"Your Majesty, the head of the household is still waiting in the Zhangtai Palace."

Just as he was thinking about the meaning of Lingyan Pavilion's existence, a guard suddenly came to report it.

"Oh?" Qin Zhao was stunned for a moment, "Zifei is here, didn't he just leave." ”

But he didn't have anything to do at this time, since the other party had come over to discuss something important, Qin Zhao put down his pen and got up and went to Zhangtai Palace.

After arriving, Zifei was waiting outside the hall.

Seeing him coming, he hurriedly bowed down and saluted, "Participate in Your Majesty." ”

"I told you, it doesn't have to be like this in private, just go in and wait." Qin Zhao walked into the hall with a smile, "What's the matter, you just came back to the city to look for me?" ”

Zifei was silent about his kind words, and got down to business: "Back to Your Majesty, just now an envoy from the Jucheng Chamber of Commerce in the capital went to my house. There's a lot at stake, so I'm here to let you know. ”

Qin Zhao was a little surprised at first when he heard this, and then turned to smile and said, "Jucheng Chamber of Commerce? The reaction was quite fast, did they figure out how to die? ”

"......" Zifei's expression froze, and for a while he couldn't tell whether His Majesty the Emperor was serious or joking.

"They didn't say this, they just expressed their confession of sin and wanted to exchange money for forgiveness."

"Interesting, so what are they going to do?"

"It's all on this letter, please look at it, Your Majesty." As he spoke, he took out a brocade silk from his bosom and presented it with both hands.

Holding the brocade silk, until now Zifei still has a sense of horror in his heart - the content in it is too exaggerated.

Although I had heard Emperor Xia say that the Earth Alliance was rich and rivaled, I realized that my imagination was still too narrow when I looked at it today.

Qin Zhao casually took the brocade silk and browsed it.

Soon, his face was also full of surprise, and he couldn't even suppress the tone of his voice and raised it slightly, "Twelve million stone grain?!" ”

As he spoke, he looked at it carefully several times to make sure that he was not mistaken.

Then his eyes turned cold, and his face was full of murder, "What a bold man!" ”

Zi Fei lowered his head when he heard this, not daring to look at Qin Zhao's expression.

In this letter, in addition to expressing his confession, he also said that he would offer him all kinds of money and food to contribute to the construction of Great Xia.

The amount of food and the like was actually fine, but the amount of food really made Qin Zhao a little nervous.

Exactly 12 million stones!

What is this concept?

You must know that a Chehou is only a thousand stones a year!

In the whole of Great Xia, the annual grain output is only more than 300 million, and considering this year's disaster, it is more than 200 million!

A mere chamber of commerce can actually take out 12 million stone of grain at one time, which is by no means something that can be hoarded overnight!

Of course, although it was presented in the name of the Jucheng Chamber of Commerce, fools know that this is by no means the work of one family.

"Ground! Alliance!! Qin Zhao almost gritted his teeth and said these two words.

This year, the weather is not good, and the people of Daxia are cutting back on food and clothing because of the drought, but these merchants are thinking about hoarding Juqi and how not to make him angry.

After he slowly calmed down, he looked at Zifei and asked, "What do you think of this Jucheng Chamber of Commerce?" ”

"During this period of time, Wechen counted the situation of all parties in the national population tax field, and also learned about the situation of some local chambers of commerce." Zifei lowered his head and replied, still not daring to look directly into the emperor's cold eyes.

Qin Zhao nodded and did not interrupt. He believed that it was impossible for Zifei to ignore the special group of merchants.

"In fact, the Jucheng Chamber of Commerce is still very disciplined, and their current principal is a woman named Zhou Yang. This person is the widow of the Zhou family in Nanyang County, and is given the surname of her husband. And his dead husband was the former principal of the Jucheng Chamber of Commerce. ”

"Widow?" Qin Zhao was stunned for a moment.

He didn't have any special thoughts about the surviving, but he just thought it was a bit unusual for a widow to become the head of the Chamber of Commerce.

Since even the surname is with her deceased husband, it is conceivable that this Zhou Yang's original family may not be strong, at least it must be inferior to the Zhou family of Nanyang County.

In this case, it is not easy to control the Chamber of Commerce step by step.

However, now is not the time to consider this person's background, Qin Zhao asked again, "You said they are very disciplined?" ”

"That's true." Zifei nodded affirmatively, "Their family is engaged in the cinnabar and mercury business, and they control a large number of cinnabar mines and mercury mines in their hands, so they rarely do anything to compete with the people. As for buying land and the like, I never touch it. ”

"That's interesting...... Qin Zhao muttered to himself, "Zifei, why did you say that you were asking for guilt in the name of this Jucheng Chamber of Commerce, instead of in the name of the 'Earth Alliance'?" ”

When Zi Fei heard this, a little understanding appeared on his face, and he raised his head and glanced at him, a smile crossed the corner of his mouth.

Qin Zhao also laughed at this time, "Hehe, it seems that the interior of this 'Earth Alliance' is not monolithic." I'm afraid that the alliance leader can't control it. ”

"Your Majesty, what should we do next?" Zifei didn't refute, obviously he thought so too.

"Since the alliance leader can't handle it, then let's go and help him. 12 million stone grains is really a lot of money. With these grains, you can end a lot of boring games early. ”

After thinking for a moment, Qin Zhao said to Zifei again: "Tell them to let the leader of the Earth Alliance come to Beijing to see me in person!" By the way, I sent me the heads of the businessmen who danced the most. If they can't handle it themselves, then I'll take it myself! ”

Looking at the cold light in the emperor's eyes, Zifei couldn't help but feel a slight chill in his heart.

Only then did he realize that he thought he knew His Majesty, but in fact it was not the case at all.

A tiger is a tiger after all, don't think that if you close your mouth, you will change to a vegetarian diet.

Maybe it's just because the meat in front of you is not to taste.

Qin Zhao didn't expect Zifei to think so much at this time, and continued to say coldly: "The left and right are just a group of businessmen, even if they are rich and rival the country, what is the use?" Why, you still want to become the new Lu Xiangguo?! ”
