Chapter 177: A commotion caused by a party
Chenwang's Mansion.
Qin Chen, who had just finished his cultivation, learned that Feng Zhengbin was called out by Jia Xu from the Prince's Mansion, and he couldn't help but have a sense of doubt in his heart, and at the same time he was more vigilant.
Feng Zhengbin didn't want to betray himself, right?
Thinking of this, he immediately shook his head and vetoed it.
Feng Zhengbin was invited out by himself, and it was impossible for him to betray him.
can think that in his previous life, the other party was a loyal minister under Qin Lang, which made him have to doubt it again.
In his previous life, Feng Zhengbin was loyal to Qin Lang and did a lot of things for him.
Although he spoke up to Qin Lang many times in the court, Qin Lang never blamed him.
Even though the other party has surrendered to him in this life and become one of his advisors, he is still a little worried that the other party will rebel.
After all, Qin Lang was born with a unique charm, attracting countless talents to bend their waists for him.
Now that the other party has sent someone to contact him, this is tantamount to pulling the other party under his command, so as to tap his power.
"Although this king has some suspicions, for the sake of safety, it is better to observe for a while before speaking." Qin Chen muttered to himself in his heart.
Although Feng Zhengbin's every move is suspicious, there is no substantial evidence, and he can't put the hat of betrayal on the other party.
If the other party does not betray, and he puts the hat of betrayal on the other party's head, it is equivalent to chilling the other party's heart and making the other party consciously join the enemy.
Qin Chen didn't know that because of his doubts, he and Feng Zhengbin finally parted ways, and even let the other party bury their lives.
After being silent for a while, Qin Chen said to the dark corner next to him: "You go and investigate it yourself, remember, you must investigate clearly, and you must not fabricate it out of thin air." ”
"No!"
A cold response came from a dark corner.
After giving such an order, Qin Chen also raised his feet and left the attic.
At the same time, let people gather all the counselors.
Since Qin Lang had already started to do it to himself, there was no need for him to quietly touch and kill the other party.
If they quietly touched it again, before they could kill each other, Qin Lang would already kill them first.
Everyone didn't know that because of the game between the two forces, some princes had to withdraw from the stage of fighting for power, and even paid for it with their lives.
……
Yanwang Mansion.
Qin Ming, the king of Yan, who was in his own palace and was cultivating in meditation, received a letter from Jia Xu, a strategist of the Prince's Mansion, and invited Feng Zhengbin, a strategist of the Chenwang Mansion, to drink and talk in the "Tianchun Building", and immediately stopped practicing.
Although he couldn't figure out what these two were doing, their every move made him feel very uneasy, and he might even fall into the abyss at any time.
Qin Ming, who had finished his cultivation, immediately summoned his "secret guard" and asked them to investigate the specific situation and see what the hell these two guys were doing.
Don't look at them getting together openly, but it gives people the feeling of invisible huge pressure, which makes people feel a little breathless.
After waiting in the study for half an hour, a man in black with a flat face walked into the study from outside the door, and came to Qin Ming, kneeling on one knee.
"Lord Wang, my subordinates have found out why Jia Xu and Feng Zhengbin gathered in Tianchun Tower."
"Speak!" Qin Ming spoke indifferently.
"According to our investigation, these two people were just drinking and talking, and they didn't do anything, and they didn't discuss anything important."
"That's all?" Qin Ming's face was dazed for a while, and he couldn't figure out what the situation was at all.
"That's all!" The man in black nodded in response.
Hearing this answer, Qin Ming's brows couldn't help frowning, and then he fell silent.
After pondering for a long time, he spoke, "Tell this king everything they have said." ”
"No!"
The man in black didn't dare to slack off, and immediately told the original words of the two of them word for word.
After a while, after listening to the man in black in front of him, Qin Ming was completely stunned.
Why did these two people talk, they only talked to each other about some useful and useless things, and did not talk about other things at all.
"Are they just getting together?" Qin Ming's heart became more and more confused.
Now he just wants to scold the quintessence of the country.
As soon as these two guys got together, they actually made such a big move for themselves, and they made themselves vaguely uneasy.
But he was curious, how did these two guys meet? And that's how it goes.
"Do you know how these two met?" Qin Ming opened his mouth and asked the man in front of him.
He himself knew clearly about Jia Xu having sat in Feng Zhengbin and entered the imperial city, but this was not enough to prove that they knew each other.
But now they have a good conversation, which makes one have to suspect that the two of them know each other completely.
Especially through their conversations, it makes people even more suspicious that the two of them have known each other for a long time, like friends for many years.
Qin Ming didn't know that the reason why Jia Xu and Feng Zhengbin could talk was mainly because they were both ministers and had common topics and interests.
If there is no common topic, then even the best people will not be able to talk like this.
……
In the evening, at the end of the restaurant trip, Jia Xu and Feng Zhengbin said goodbye to each other, and returned to their lord's mansion in their respective vehicles.
As soon as he returned to the Prince's Mansion, Jia Xu sighed a little: "The wine in this world is really a bit scary. ”
Even if he has become a martial artist and has a strong body, he still can't control the wine in this world.
If it weren't for the "Jinyi Guard" next to him who was responsible for supporting him, then he himself might not be a staggering problem, but lying on the ground on the spot.
Knowing that Jia Xu had returned, Xun Or put down his work and quickly came to the inner hall.
Seeing Jia Xu, who was drunk and a little unclear, Xun He couldn't help but be a little stunned on his face.
How much alcohol did Jia Xu drink?
I can get drunk like this!
came to the chair next to the other party and sat down, Xun Or said, "Wenhe, do you feel better?" ”
Shaking his heavy head, Jia Xu said: "It feels okay, but this wine is a bit strong." ”
"How's that going?" Xun or asked.
Jia Xu said: "It's done!" Next, just a few more tricks are needed to make the discord meter successful. ”
"That's great!" Xun Or had a satisfied smile on his face.
If it weren't for Feng Zhengbin, they wouldn't have been able to use this divisive plan, but used other tactics to tap the strength of the other party.
Although the discord plan is a bit vicious, the two of them are in different camps, and they can't let their personal feelings become a bond, which will lead to a fiasco on their side.
Jia Xu shook his heavy head and said, "Wen Ruo, I feel that I am a little bad, please arrange to take me back to the room." ”
"Good! I'll have someone arrange for you to go back to your room. In response, Xun Or immediately summoned the two "Jinyi Guards" and asked them to take Jia Xu back to the room.
……
Time flickered, and ten days had passed in a blink of an eye.
After firing, the first batch of charcoal was finally burned.
After this batch of charcoal was burned, it was all packaged and put into the "Space Ring", and then transported to various parts of the north.
Of course, all parts of the north where charcoal is shipped are areas with relatively cold weather.
Through the transportation of the teleportation array, this charcoal was quickly sold to the people.
The people who had just received the charcoal were still full of puzzlement, but when they saw the official family operating, they didn't have many doubts in their hearts.
On the contrary, they love the benefits that come with these charcoals, especially the temperature provided by these charcoals, which is exactly what they need.
In this way, this cold winter will not have to be so cold, and they can spend it with peace of mind.
And people also learned that the production of these charcoals was conceived by the prince, and everyone shouted for it.
The bad impression of the other party in my heart was gradually replaced.
Due to the excessive demand for charcoal, Emperor Qin Tianlong had to mobilize more people to burn it, and then send it to various parts of the dynasty.
At the same time as selling charcoal, the people of the dynasty also specially instructed that when burning charcoal, the doors and windows should not be locked, and there must be a trace of gaps.
Of course, such a request was made by Qin Lang himself, and its purpose was to avoid excessive absorption of carbon dioxide, which would lead to hypoxia.
Warriors with strong physical fitness are okay and don't have to worry about excessive carbon dioxide absorption, as their bodies will self-reject these items.
And the body of the average person is different.
Since they can't excrete carbon dioxide at will, once they absorb too much, it will only be a dead share.
While preaching the method of burning charcoal, Qin Lang also walked out of the small world of the secret realm with Wang Wei and returned to the imperial city.
After returning to the imperial city, Qin Lang came to the emperor to report his work, and by the way, he told some precautions.
After listening to the work report, Qin Tianlong showed a satisfied smile on his face and said, "Since charcoal is very popular, the people praise you very much. ”
"As the crown prince of Great Qin, Erchen is willing to solve problems for the people of the dynasty." Qin Lang replied very modestly.
He had already learned about this effect from Jiang Xuan. He was also extremely happy about this.
In this way, the last bad impression of everyone on him also disappeared.
On the contrary, everyone will think that he is a prince who serves the country and the people, and everything he does thinks of the people.
Although charcoal is sold to them rather than given away, the people know that there is no such thing as a free lunch.
Moreover, the charcoal sold by the dynasty was extremely cheap, and it was not enough to shake the small treasury in their arms.
However, there are still many people who do not choose to buy charcoal, but choose to spend this winter with firewood.
How do you choose? The dynasty didn't have the idea of intervening, but just told them that if it was really cold, they could come and buy charcoal directly.
Seeing that Qin Lang knew more and more about how to be humble, Qin Tianlong was very satisfied in his heart. The direction of his son's development is also becoming more and more in the range of his expectations.
Although his son is very smart, his kindness has always been a hurdle in his heart.
Now that his kindness has been eliminated, he can be groomed to become the next monarch.
"Go back and see your aunt tomorrow."
"No!"
In response, Qin Lang stood up and took a few steps back, then turned around and left without looking back.
Waiting for Qin Lang to leave, Qin Tianlong's face gradually turned cold, and said: "Prince, the eagle eye that rules all places, let them monitor the officials everywhere at all times, once they find out that they are using charcoal as a tool to collect money, they will be directly arrested and killed on the spot, even their families will not be spared." ”
These officials are usually greedy, and he can turn a blind eye, but if he is greedy for the profits brought by this thing, then it is a different matter.
After all, this charcoal is a lifesaver for the people, and if it is greedy, it will cause many people to die this winter.
As the emperor of the dynasty, he will never allow any officials to do this, and if anyone dares to do it, then he will be his whole family, and he will not leave a single living mouth.
"Your Majesty, will such bloody methods cause the officials to tremble?" Wang Wei said with some concern.
"I'm just going to make them scared so they don't touch the charcoal." Qin Tianlong said very indifferently.
He would rather see officials everywhere hang white spirits than see the people cry this winter.
In addition, the money he allotted to the officials every year was enough for them to squander.
"No!"
In response, Wang Wei turned around and left.
As soon as he walked on the front foot, Yang Ran entered the imperial study with the back foot and stood by the emperor's side to serve.
After explaining everything that should be explained, Qin Tianlong began to correct today's recital.
As soon as he corrected a few copies, Liu Wei walked in from outside, knelt on the ground and said, "See Your Majesty." ”
"What?" After saying this, Qin Tianlong continued to correct the folds in his hand.
"Back to Your Majesty, the money from the sale of charcoal has been counted, and it is now being secretly transported to the Imperial City."
"Well done." Qin Tianlong nodded with satisfaction.
"Your Majesty, Hawkeye has just heard the news that families in various places are trying to find ways to burn charcoal, and they even spend a lot of money to buy officials from all over the country."
Hearing this, Qin Tianlong's face immediately turned cold.
Obviously, these people from this family have already angered him a little.
However, he was also a little glad that he did not let people pass on the method of burning charcoal, but waited until the coming spring.
If it is passed on at this time, those families will definitely use the power of their own families to burn charcoal on a large scale and then sell it to the people, so as to make a lot of money.
Although the money they earned had to be taxed, as long as everyone knew that those families would definitely sell charcoal to the people at a very high price.
"Let Hawkeye tell the officials everywhere that since those people from the family are willing to send them money, then accept it as much as they want, and by the way, find a way to drag them until next spring."
Liu Weidao: "Your Majesty, what should be done with the money collected by officials from various families?" ”
Qin Tianlong said: "Since those families gave it to officials from all over the country, let the officials from all over the country keep it themselves." In addition, tell the local officials that if they don't delay in collecting the money, then don't blame me for being ruthless to them. ”
If they don't collect it, it will be a waste. However, when it comes to collecting their first money, they must be dragged until next year.
At that time, he would inform the local officials about the method of charcoal burning, and they would tell the families and then the people.
"No!"
