Chapter 26: How rich is Zhao Changqing?

Emperor Wei won't really blame Xiao Yuming, after all, he is the king of Qin who came from afar to the north, and at present, even if there is no credit, there is hard work.

After Yan Ci taught him a few words, he announced that the ministers would withdraw from the main hall, leaving only Xiao Yuming still kneeling in the main hall.

After the Great Wei Emperor got up and left the dragon chair, he helped him up and said with a smile: "You, when will you be able to change your stinky problem! Either you don't say a word, or you can say something, and you can offend the entire Wei State."

If you continue like this, who will be able to tolerate you after a hundred years?"

"Your Majesty... I ......" Xiao Yuming was grateful after hearing this, and stopped talking.

Emperor Wei sighed earnestly.

That's what he wants.

In terms of the young generation of the Great Wei Jianghu, who leads the way, in addition to the people in the royal family, is Xiao Yuming, who was born in poverty.

Therefore, the Great Wei Emperor attached great importance to him.

The current Great Wei is firmly controlled by various families behind the scenes, and if you want to get rid of this situation, you must go through a cyclical process, starting with the reuse of the children of the Han family, weakening the influence of the family step by step, and finally giving them a blow to the head.

Emperor Wei did not rush to let Xiao Yuming return to the barracks, but dragged him for an aimless walk in the palace, and he gave Xiao Yuming enough permission to show his imperial grace.

For example, the sword is in the court, and you can bring a personal guard to accompany the palace.

Since the founding of the Great Wei Dynasty, only a few people have received this treatment.

It is enough to prove that he has the weight in the heart of the Great Wei Emperor.

"The matter of arranging King Qin's army outside the palace is also a last resort, and you should be able to understand my distress. Moreover, the large army stationed outside the city, in a sense, can also serve the purpose of resisting the Chu army......"

Emperor Wei told Xiao Yuming about the various benefits of stationing a large army outside the city.

The more Xiao Yuming listened, the more incredible he felt.

He felt that he suddenly didn't know the great prince.

How can people make a 180-degree change?

That's amazing, isn't it?

For example, arranging King Qin's army outside the city can not only play the role of defending Gyeonggi, but also play a better role in monitoring the enemy army.

Is this really what the eldest prince came up with?

Why don't I believe it?

Xiao Yuming said in a deep voice at this moment: "Your Majesty, the disadvantages of arranging King Qin's army outside the city are just as great, and it is very easy to be broken by the enemy army one by one.

Although what the eldest prince said makes sense, after all, he has been pampered since he was a child, and he has not experienced war, so he does not know the rapid changes on the battlefield at all!"

Emperor Dawei smiled as he walked: "You, there is another shortcoming, that is, you are too arrogant, this kid Changqing is not simple, he has been defiling himself for so many years..."

He began to tell Xiao Yuming about Zhao Changqing's affairs during this time, from using the guards to make a splash, to the few victories he had just won the day before yesterday, he told him everything in detail.

And Xiao Yuming also went from disbelief at the beginning to bewilderment and finally to admiration, "If the eldest prince really has such a literary and martial strategy as His Majesty said, then it is really my great Wei's luck." ”

His Royal Highness the Great Prince, who can say those two wise words, is definitely a soldier, and from the great victory the day before yesterday that His Majesty talked about, it can also be inferred that the Great Prince was definitely the first to anticipate the enemy at that time, and he walked ahead of the enemy at every step, completely suppressing the enemy.

This skill of using soldiers is impossible even for himself.

This kind of character is the least likely to be used as an enemy.

"Yu Ming, you also tell me that when the army of King Qin arrives in the south, there are 400,000 at least, right? What are the chances of winning the Chu army?"

Xiao Yuming followed closely and said: "Your Majesty, you have overestimated, the preliminary estimate is that there are at most 300,000 soldiers who can fight, and in some places, due to insufficient training, they do not obey discipline, and it is really difficult to fight with the enemy.

Therefore, it is estimated that there is only a 40% probability. ”

Behind the two of them was a team of the emperor's guards and one of Xiao Yuming's personal guards, and when they followed, they were all within a certain controllable distance of the two.

"Forty percent, quite a lot. Emperor Wei's voice was a little helpless, "If it weren't for Meng Haoran's mistake in making a decision, the forbidden army alone would still have 400,000, which would be enough to fight to the death with the Chu army, but in the battle of Youzhou, 400,000 elites, countless casualties and heavy losses!"

Therefore, we simply cannot afford to spend this battle! Looking at the war between the five countries, it is all the strong bullying the weak, and our Wei State is in ruins, and for the time being, it cannot be called strong, so it urgently needs to change the law to strengthen the country.

We can only swallow this shame, and when we become stronger, we will get this lost face back, do you know what I mean?"

Xiao Yuming exhaled a deep breath and said, "Actually, I have already thought about this question before I came to the capital. But in order to get the enemy army out of Wei's territory, we must first win several battles in order to gain more bargaining chips. ”

Emperor Dawei nodded when he heard this, suddenly looked at a courtyard, pointed with his finger, and said with a smile: "Look, I walked to the boss's place unconsciously, why don't you go in and have a look?"

I think there should be a lot of things to talk about between you and the eldest prince. ”

Xiao Yuming had this intention, so he said: "Then respectfully don't obey your fate." ”

Emperor Great Wei patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile: "You, you, why are you so good at speaking at this time." ”

The voice landed, and he walked towards the residence of the eldest prince.

However, there were no maids or eunuchs outside the door, which made the Great Wei Emperor very curious.

I saw a large wooden board outside the door, on which were written eight words: 'Poor health, refuse to see guests', which made him frown when he saw it.

Someone next to him tried to shout 'Your Majesty has arrived', but he stopped him and made a 'shhh

Everyone will understand.

When I entered the palace of the eldest prince, I found that there was no particularly luxurious place at all.

The whole courtyard, except for the stone table and slab under the big locust tree, etc., is estimated to be worth a little money, and there is nothing else to talk about, and it is simple like the residence of an ordinary person in the capital.

Compared to the palace of the princes, it is simply a heaven and an underground.

Emperor Dawei didn't say anything, and there seemed to be sand in his eyes.

He really hasn't been here in a long time.

It seems that he hasn't been here since the eldest was in distress when he was seven years old, right?

Even after Xiao Yuming saw the residence of the eldest prince, he felt incredible, did everyone in the royal family live such a simple life now?

He shook his head at the thought of this, apparently not.

At this moment, an old eunuch happened to pass by, and after seeing His Majesty the Emperor, he squinted his eyes, suddenly thought of his identity, and immediately panicked, and hurriedly knelt down, and was about to speak, but was stopped by the emperor.

The Great Wei Emperor asked him in a low voice, "Let me ask you, why is the residence of the Great Prince so simple, and what about the palace maids and eunuchs?"

The eunuch trembled and said, "Your Majesty, how can there be any palace maids, the old slave has been here for six or seven years, Your Highness here, plus me, there are only two eunuchs in total." ”

Emperor Wei's hand clenched firmly at this moment, "Tell me, why is the Great Prince so humble here?"

The eunuch was straightforward and fast-talking, and reported truthfully: "All the food and clothing in the palace are handled by the queen's mother, and the eldest prince has not given a tael of silver for four or five years."

If it weren't for the fact that the Zongren Mansion would give the eldest prince a sum of money every year, I am afraid that it would be difficult to maintain even the simplest life. Even so, the eldest prince will still save money every year and give us the rest of the money, and His Royal Highness has no other place to spend money except for drinking some wine.

Sometimes the eldest prince has to wear a piece of clothing for more than a month without changing it..."

At the end of the eunuch's words, his voice became quieter and quieter.

But let's be honest.

Will Zhao Changqing be able to look at the little bit of loose silver given by the queen's mother?

Make a little go a long way?

If someone with a heart follows Zhao Changqing, they will find that the money he spends every year when he goes out to play or in the capital reaches hundreds of thousands of taels.

He also quietly bought a few plots of land in Jiangnan.

He also bought a few mines in Huainan.

He also opened a lot of money houses in the east and west of the river, and he was even involved in the private salt.

By the way, I also bought a few mountains in Shudi.

I don't know what it's for, but I just bought it.

If you want to ask Zhao Changqing why he has so much money, then he can only tell you, when His Royal Highness is in vain?

At present, the perfumes, underwear, toothbrushes and other daily necessities that are popular in the capital, which one does not have the figure of His Royal Highness behind it?

Then again, the thing that really made him rich was salt.

This has to start with a businessman he inadvertently rescued when he was out playing......

You have to ask, why are you making all these things without being discovered?

So Zhao Changqing can only tell you, is your brother Dang's countless painstaking efforts over the years, the skills to live and the steady performance of Gou's spirit are all fake?

Won't His Highness train his own people?

When you go out every year, is it really just for fun?

If it weren't for the fact that this identity of mine has always been a burden, if it weren't for coming to this world and meeting two sisters and sisters who treat themselves as relatives, if it weren't for the fact that you can do a lot of things by using the identity of the Wei royal family and then cover it up...

The book has long since come to an end.

Can't even write.

Look at something.

Cough.

In fact, the reason why she has been able to develop so well in business over the years is because of Changle, after all, she is the first person in the Great Wei Kingdom to have the seal of the eldest princess!

This thing, if used properly, is worth a lot of money!

Combined with the identity of His Royal Highness's royal family, it is simply perfect.

Anyway, it's useless for Changle to ask for that seal, and he's not interested in business, so he doesn't need to use it in vain if he puts it here with His Royal Highness.

Every time Zhao Changqing talked about a business with a businessman or an official who was corrupt and took bribes, he would always threaten him not to divulge his identity, and those who cooperated with him were naturally not fools, and they knew what they could and could not say.

So over the years, I have been hiding my identity very well.

But the old eunuch who was still trembling and kneeling on the ground didn't know!

Emperor Wei doesn't know!

Xiao Yuming doesn't know either!
