Chapter 823 Saltpeter Ice Making

The entire Guogong Mansion has not been adjusted much because of the arrival of Shangguan Qiuyu, and what happened in the past is still the same now.

On the surface, the Guogong Mansion is secretly calm, however, in fact, the entire Guogong Mansion has already been emptied by Shangguan Qiuyu.

Because of the existence of the system space, all this has been done quietly, and no one has found the slightest flaw at all.

When the Extraterritorial Heavenly Gate is opened, once something is impossible, Shangguan Qiuyu can completely take the soles of people's feet to smear oil and slip away.

Since Shangguan Qiuyu came to Yucheng, Yucheng, which had been calm, has been up and down because of Shangguan Qiuyu's arrival.

From time to time, there will be an inexplicable big movement, so that the entire Yucheng is disturbed and shouting is not peaceful.

Xuanyuan Jing came in a hurry this time, it was nothing more than because Shangguan Qiuyu sent someone to send a large amount of ice to the three major legions outside Yucheng two days ago, after the Ding family successfully made a large amount of ice.

Although Shangguan Qiuyu's small move did not seem to be a big deal, it was this move that made the soldiers have a good impression of him, the major general Shangguan.

Buying people's hearts sometimes does not necessarily have power and money, and many times, a small care can also make a group of soldiers swear allegiance.

At the right time, a small thing made the soldiers feel good about themselves, which was something that Shangguan Qiuyu did not expect.

However, after thinking about it for a while, Shangguan Qiuyu was relieved, for a group of low-level soldiers, they all wanted to have a good boss who could understand them.

Except for the Northern Legion, the other two legions, although Shangguan Qiuyu can't control the affairs of the other two legions now, don't forget that Shangguan Qiuyu is the grandson of Shangguan Xiong, the Duke of Zhenguo.

As a military prince, he may lead them one day in the future.

Therefore, because Shangguan Qiuyu was able to think of sending them ice cubes to relieve the heat, the soldiers of the two major legions gave them a preliminary understanding of Shangguan Qiuyu.

Although this is only a preliminary understanding, it represents far from being as simple as it seems.

You must know that now Zhenguo Gong is far away in Xichuan, and the entire Yucheng military forces, except for the Northern Legion, which is controlled by Tie Ying, will unconditionally obey Shangguan Qiuyu's words.

Who in the other two major legions will take care of him, Shangguan Qiuyu, the major general of the Shangguan family?

However, after passing this incident, everyone had a preliminary impression of him Shangguan Qiuyu.

And this initial impression will, to a certain extent, make the trust of the soldiers in Zhenguo Gong Shangguan Xiong transfer to him Shangguan Qiuyu.

In this way, as long as all the soldiers agree that he Shangguan Qiuyu can represent Shangguan Xiong, the prince of Zhenguo, it will definitely have a great effect on the prestige of Shangguan Qiuyu itself.

Of course, he is not a brainless person, although this move has the move of buying people's hearts, but he is also dividing people by buying people's hearts.

Except for the three major legions outside the city (including the Northern Legion), the other central legions stationed at the major gates of Yucheng did not reach out to them.

After all, the Central Army was stationed in Yucheng, and his back was too sensitive, and he didn't want anyone to say that he had ulterior motives for going to the official family.

The three major legions of Yucheng, no matter what, they are still subordinate to the military, and the military has always been controlled by their own cheap grandfather.

He bought people's hearts, and everyone didn't think there was any problem, after all, as long as Shangguan Qiuyu didn't have an accident, sooner or later he would inherit everything in the Zhenguo Mansion.

However, although the Central Army was still nominally under the control of the military, it was essentially sent by successive emperors, and the military had no effect on it.

Therefore, Shangguan Qiuyu was not stupid enough to touch the string of the royal family.

However, there are some things that are most afraid of favoritism, Shangguan Qiuyu's move made the officers and soldiers of the other three major legions happy, but the soldiers of the Central Legion stationed in Yucheng were very uncomfortable.

After all, everyone else has it, but they don't, and this psychological gap can be imagined.

Therefore, in order to prevent Shangguan Qiuyu from taking this opportunity to reach into the Central Legion, the royal family immediately sent Xuanyuan Jing as His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

The ice cubes needed by millions of soldiers would not be enough even if the royal ice cellar was emptied, so the royal family naturally hit him Shangguan Qiuyu with the idea.

Five hundred god-destroying bows are worth a lot of money, but compared to the future, the royal family directly controls saltpeter, the source of ice-making.

Among them, the profit is not comparable to 500 god-destroying bows, which almost increases the tax revenue for the royal family or the imperial court.

With the advent of a large number of cheap ice cubes, its wide range of uses will inevitably increase the price of saltpeter.

Even so, Shangguan Qiuyu didn't want to keep it secret to the end.

He knew that he had gradually aroused the jealousy of the royal family, and his unscrupulous means of accumulating wealth made the royal family worried.

The Shangguan family is second to none in Dayu in terms of military power and private soldier power.

If Shangguan Qiuyu's various methods of accumulating wealth are added, the royal family is deeply afraid that with the passage of time, the power of the Shangguan family will become bigger and bigger, and the strength will become stronger and stronger.

A family that wants power and power, and has soldiers, if you add countless wealth, such a family that makes the royal family unable to balance it, how can the royal family feel at ease.

Something like ice cubes that is so cheap that even ordinary people at the bottom can afford it, the royal family will never let the Shangguan family monopolize it, after all, this has too much impact.

No matter how loyal the Shangguan family is, so what?

If in the end, even the royal family can't control the family, how can people rest assured?

Moreover, Shangguan Qiuyu is not like the ancestors of the Shangguan family in the past dynasties, and his performance makes people feel that he is loyal.

At least Prince Xuanyuan Jing didn't think that Shangguan Qiuyu would be loyal to the royal family.

Shangguan Qiuyu, who put interests first, made him extremely uneasy in Xuanyuan Jing's eyes,

In addition, Shangguan Qiuyu did not grow up in Shangguan's family since he was a child, and the influence of the royal family on him can be described as minimal.

In the past, the ancestors of the Shangguan family would have a period of contact with the princes when they were young, and at the same time they were imported into the idea of loyalty to the monarch.

Therefore, this is also the reason why the ancestors of the Shangguan family have devoted themselves to the country.

As for the current Zhenguo Gong Shangguanxiong, he must have been equally loyal to the court and the royal family at the beginning.

Otherwise, there would not have been an old man who opposed his son and the Holy Maiden of Sanssouci Palace back then, which caused his son to resolutely leave the Shangguan family.

From where can it be seen that between the court and his son, the old man resolutely chose the court and chose to be loyal to the royal family.

As for why the old man would tolerate Shangguan Qiuyu acting like this, Shangguan Qiuyu said that he didn't know.

I'm afraid that this problem is only Shangguan Qiuyu's cheap grandfather, Zhenguo Gong Shangguan Xiong, who knows best in his heart.
