Chapter 175: The earth creates man, and man creates the land

However, Liu Xiang has also been quite depressed recently, and a series of wealthy businessmen have been killed in Lingnan with their entire family, which makes Liu Xiang heartbroken.

Of course, Liu Xiang was heartbroken not because he did not save the rich businessman, but because he did not get his wealth back.

After all, according to the law of the Ming Dynasty, if the whole family is killed, the wealth will be returned to the court by default.

If this can be recovered, it will be a large amount of wealth that can be used to develop Lingnan.

"Check!"

"Cooperate with Jinyiwei and conduct a comprehensive and thorough investigation!"

Liu Xiang said.

"Your Excellency."

"We have been conducting a thorough investigation for two days in a row, and all the murderers who were directly involved in the murder are still alive."

"However, most of those belongings were lost, and it seems that they transported them through special channels."

The subordinate reported.

"Well, have the arrested people interrogated?"

Liu asked his subordinates.

"Yes, but those people seem to have been poisoned in some way, and they have no memory of what happened."

The subordinate replied.

"Huh?"

"Why isn't it just a lethal poison?"

Liu Xiang was stunned.

"No, sir."

"Then the poison on their bodies was taken before the incident, as if they were drunk, and they were able to be guided to act during that time, but they have no memory."

"Those people have everything, there are no clues at all, and the most important evidence that Jin Yiwei interrogated is that these people had drunk or drunk tea with people before their memories disappeared, and then the people who drank were all recruited."

The subordinate explained.

"Then have you checked the restaurant and tea shop where they drink wine and tea?"

Liu Xiang asked again.

"Oh no, they don't have any problems."

"Even... Some restaurants are still British mansions behind them. ”

The subordinate lowered his voice.

"Alright, then you don't need to check them out."

"What about the scene where they were drinking tea and drinking? Have you checked it? ”

Liu Xiang rubbed his eyebrows.

"I can't check it, when those people left, they looked like they were drunk normally, so the restaurant and tea shop were cleaned up directly."

The subordinate replied.

"Is that so?"

Liu Xiang said, his eyes flashing.

British Mansion.

"It's a clever method, guiding others to complete everything for themselves in a poisonous way, and staying out of the whole process."

Xiao Han's eyes narrowed slightly.

"What do you think?"

Zhu Biao asked at Xiao Han.

"It should still be done by the remnants of Hu Weiyong."

"In addition to them, ordinary wealthy families or wealthy businessmen can have such a big hand."

"Moreover, if I remember correctly, the poison that can achieve this effect is very rare and valuable, Hu Weiyong's remnants, who are wanted by the whole Ming Dynasty, where did they get the money to make this kind of thing."

"It seems that there are third parties involved, and their existence makes Hu Weiyong's remnants more generous."

"I really didn't expect that when our Hu Xiangguo was alive, he almost made such a force according to Jinyiwei, which really added a lot of trouble."

Xiao Han shook his head slightly.

"This time, the rich businessmen in Jiangnan have suffered a lot of losses, and there are already several who have been directly killed."

"I'm afraid your plans will all be affected."

"By the way, do you think this is a rich businessman who colluded with Hu Weiyong's remnants to seize the market?"

Zhu Biao said to Xiao Han.

"It seems that Daming economics has not been studied in vain."

"But not this time, I read the information they sent back repeatedly, and the other rich businessmen in the local area seemed to be quite slow to react, until the news of the death of those rich businessmen was in an uproar before they reacted to divide the market."

"It seems that there is no plan for this situation to arise at all."

"Obviously, these are the ones who took advantage of it later, not the ones who actually did it."

Xiao Han shook his head and gave Zhu Biao an explanation.

"So, what do we do?"

Zhu Biao asked at Xiao Han.

"What to do, what to do, everything is business as usual, don't act rashly and lead the snake out of the hole."

Xiao Han of the British Mansion and Liu Xiang, who was far away in Panyu City, said the same thing almost at the same time.

Lancang Kingdom.

In the past two days, King Faon has also noticed that the whole kingdom is becoming more and more wrong, and among the various clans, there are often foreign merchants walking around.

In the case of the Lancang Kingdom, the transportation cannot be good, and in normal times, except for the national capital, there are basically no merchants coming from other places.

But during this time, there were surprisingly many of these merchants, if it was just that, it would be nothing, but then the various clans began to disobey the royal orders of King Faang, and even openly wanted to unite other clans.

is old, the old diseases are repeated, the soil on King Faang's body is equivalent to being buried in his eyes, and he is powerless in the face of the gradually chaotic situation in the Lancang Kingdom, and even sent troops to suppress some clans, which was done by the crown prince Mo Sentai.

"Alas!"

"Is it true that the building will collapse and the country will crack?"

King Faon raised his head and let out a long sigh of helplessness.

Just yesterday, a fierce conflict broke out between the two clans, and finally it came to the point of fighting each other.

What's even more terrifying is that the weapons of the two clans are quite sophisticated, even the mercy army under the command of King Faon cannot compare.

At this time, King Faang realized that at some point, a large number of weapons had been imported into his Lancang Kingdom through merchants.

"Ava and Yue Guo, or Dayuan and Daming."

King Faon was silent for a long time as he looked at the fragments of armor that his soldiers had brought back.

"Dad, what should I do?"

"Do you want the child to take the Mercy Army and directly temper them!"

Mosentai gritted his teeth.

"The current Mercy Army, I'm afraid it may not be their opponent."

"Moreover, there are definitely not only these two companies that have been supported by external weapons, and it is difficult to completely suppress them."

"Order the Mercy Army, guard the royal capital, and once their conflict spreads, the royal capital must be defended by me no matter what!"

Faon said with a wry smile.

Faced with the clans under his command that had become extremely fierce, King Faang had no choice but to choose to mess up, let these people fight first, and when their strength was almost consumed, then let the mercy army attack from the royal capital.

If... At that time, the Mercy Army could still control the royal capital.

The conflict between the two clans, like the fuse of everything, saw that the Mercy Army did not make any moves, these clans finally saw the weakness of the Mercy Army, and a large number of clans immediately joined in.

The three families of Meng, Cui, and Yun formed a pro-Ava Eastern clan alliance.

The four families of Lu, Qiu, Li, and He formed the pro-Yue Western clan position.

Most of the two sides have a feud with each other, and they also express different demands because of the different directions from which the weapons support comes from.

The three eastern tribes asked to take refuge in the more powerful Ava Dynasty, while the four western tribes wanted to serve the Yue Kingdom, which had the Ming Dynasty as the backstage.

New hatred and old hatred, besides, the two sides have obtained more efficient killing weapons, and the enemies are naturally very angry when they see each other, and there is almost no need for any communication, and they are swords against each other.

Jinling City.

British Mansion.

"Hahaha!"

"Feng Xue, sure enough, the money from selling equipment is fast."

"There are hundreds of large and small tribes in Lancang, and we have directly earned hundreds of thousands of taels of money in this wave, which has given our Ming finances a breather."

"Moreover, because it is the first time that someone has done the business of weapons and equipment in the past, the other party seems quite curious, and he didn't bargain much, so he collected all the old armor, spears, broadswords and broken cannons that we sent over."

Zhu Biao rubbed his hands and calculated the account for Xiao Han.

"Well, it's a good start, when they're almost done, go again, this time give them more guns, so that they are willing to continue to buy."

"When they have to worry about a copper plate in rags, our plan will be almost completed."

Xiao Han said with a smile.

"So, how much money do we have to make?"

Zhu Biao's eyes lit up.

"It's not much."

"However, after all, the Lancang Kingdom has been integrated by King Faang for decades, there are no major wars, and there are still some accumulations, and a few million taels should still be able to be taken out."

"But it doesn't matter, which tribe in the Lancang Kingdom doesn't have a few mountains, so let them give us the mountains."

Xiao Han said.

"What's the use of those hills?"

Zhu Biao was slightly stunned.

"This guy will not move, and if you take the land, you can build an industry around those hills, and directly arrange for the army to enter in the name of guards."

"Moreover, like our Daming paper industry, it belongs to the kind of industry that has a great impact on the surrounding area, these days, I have cut down thousands of trees in Tianfu, and it is easy to cut and want to grow back, but it will take years."

"In particular, those paper merchants in Jiangnan who are still alive are also preparing to build paper production lines, and after a long time, our Daming trees may not be enough."

Xiao Han said to Zhu Biao.

"Huh?"

"When the tree is cut down, isn't it just right to open the ground and plant crops?"

Zhu Biao was slightly stunned.

"The problem is that our farmland is not small now, and when this large number of fields are opened, it is easy for the people to cultivate the land to be insufficient, and there are too many fields, and in the end I am afraid that all of them will become traded commodities, which is also a great waste."

Xiao Han shook his head and said.

"There are many people in the land, and there are many people in the land, how can there be more arable land."

Zhu Biao didn't untie his mouth.

"But it's true to take the opportunity to send our Ming army, as long as our Ming army passes, I'm not afraid that those arrogant big clans won't serve our Daming."

"At that time, we will cut down all the trees on their mountains, and it can be regarded as making more mountains than nothing."

Zhu Biao then nodded again.

"By the way, what happened to Hu Weiyong's remnants who were tracked down in Lingnan? Since this day, we have deliberately lured the snake out of the hole, did they make any moves? ”

Zhu Biao asked Xiao Han again.

"They seem to have left our territory."

"As for the specific location, because it is a general escape to survive, we still need to trace the traces for stable tracking, so that we can have a chance to catch all of them."

Xiao Han said.
