Chapter 911 The Layout of the Caozhe Family
Facts have proved that no matter how thick the arm is, it can't twist the thigh.

Although Cao Wei and Zhe Yuqing found a big backer, when they got the new firearms trading rules sent by Kou Zhun, they immediately gave up.

Cao Wei rushed to the imperial study first and confessed to Yang Qi.

"Seventh brother, brother, I'm sorry, I lied to you."

Cao Wei burst into tears, standing in front of Yang Qi, choked with sobs.

How could Yang Qi be deceived by him again, he gave Cao Wei a blank look, and said angrily: "Stop acting, I was already awakened after being deceived by you once, do you think you can deceive me a second time?
What a big man, crying, looks like. "

Cao Wei stopped crying, but there were still tears rolling in his eyes.

The last time I saw Yang Qi, he was fake sad, but this time he was really sad.

Yang Qi changed the rules of the firearms transaction, which in a disguised form nearly doubled the price of Cao Wei's purchase of firearms. He felt distressed and naturally sad.

However, Yang Qi has no mercy for his sadness.

Cao Wei said sadly: "Brother Seven, can the rules of firearms trading be changed back?"

Yang Qi shook his head, "I am the king of a country, and I can speak like a king, so how can I go around like this."

"Nothing to discuss?"

Cao Wei opened his eyes wide and looked at Yang Qi.

Yang Qi hesitated for a moment, and said in a low voice: "It's not that there is no need to discuss, but there is one thing that you must confess to me."

Cao Wei nodded heavily, "You ask..."

Yang Qi carefully stared at the changes on Cao Wei's face, and asked, "How far has your Cao family's campaign against the Peacock Dynasty reached?"

Cao Wei was taken aback for a moment and hesitated.

Under the intimidation of Yang Qi's eyes, Cao Wei said frankly: "Two troops have been dispatched, and nearly 3000 people have arrived at the Maurya Dynasty. With the advantage of their firearms, they have successively captured nine cities, nearly one mansion. Stand firm.

The people of the Maurya Dynasty are gathering soldiers and horses, preparing to counterattack. According to the news that came back, there are tens of thousands of soldiers and horses assembled by the Maurya Dynasty.

Their 3000 men couldn't hold it, so they needed to send a large army there.

It is okay for a small number of people to detour, but if they make great efforts, the detour will not be worth the loss, so they have to borrow the way from the Yan Kingdom. "

"I have established a firm foothold in the Maurya Dynasty..."

Yang Qi muttered something in a low voice.

Since the Cao family was able to send more than 3000 people to reach the Maurya Dynasty by detour, and was able to seize the land of the next mansion, it shows that the Cao family has been planning the Maurya Dynasty for a long time.

The fact that the Cao family dared to send a large army in the past shows that the Cao family is confident that they can defeat the troops of the Maurya Dynasty.

The Cao family attached great importance to the Peacock Dynasty and did not hesitate to send a large army to expedition, which shows that the Cao family must have obtained a lot of benefits from the Maurya Dynasty.

The Cao family now has a huge empire, but they are still sparing no effort to expand outward.

This approach made Yang Qi feel a little startled.

After untying the shackles on his body and letting go of all shackles, the aggressiveness of Han Jiazi can be called terrifying.

Yang Qi didn't care that the Great Shu Congress established by the Cao family would fall apart due to rapid expansion.

But Yang Qi expressed support for the Cao family's aggressiveness.

With this in mind, he glanced at Cao Wei.

Cao Wei felt a little uncomfortable with Yang Qi's strange eyes.

"Since your Cao family has gained a firm foothold in the Maurya Dynasty, now you are going to send a large army there. This shows that you have plans to take the entire Maurya Dynasty for yourself.

But between the Peacock Dynasty and your Great Shu Kingdom, there is still a huge and insurmountable snow mountain.

The two places are separated, how do you manage to govern together? "

Yang Qi questioned.

Cao Wei said in a low voice: "Don't dare to lie to Seventh Brother. The two places are far apart, and there is no way to properly govern. So what my father means is that after the Maurya Dynasty is taken down, I will take care of it.

Although both places will belong to Dashu in the future, my elder brother and I will be in charge of our own affairs. "

Yang Qi nodded thoughtfully.

The Cao family's approach is a bit of enfeoffment, but it is more of division.

Cao Bin probably realized that his son was too capable to be placed in one place, so he divided the Cao family.

After his death, Cao Jia Dalang will take care of the whole thing, and Cao Wei will take care of the whole thing without interfering with each other.

The ancient aristocratic families basically did this.

It is estimated that in Cao Bin's view, no matter how capable his son is in the future, whether the Shu Kingdom is strong or the branch of the Peacock Dynasty is strong, it is his Cao family who is strong, and they must all respect him as their ancestor.

"Father-in-law came up with a good idea."

Yang Qi admired, and said again: "Since I have already issued an explicit order for the new rules for the delivery of firearms, I will not make any changes. However, I can make some exemptions in terms of customs duties, which can be regarded as a kind of compensation.

This is the biggest concession that my brother can give.

After all, at the beginning of this incident, you deceived me first, and then I hit you backhanded.

If you do something wrong, you will be punished for sure. "

Cao Wei drooped his head when he heard this, although he felt a little unwilling, but this was the best result he could achieve.

"Thank you Seventh Brother for your generosity..."

"Don't thank me, just don't scold me in your heart."

"..."

Cao Wei cupped his hands and was about to exit the imperial study.

When he walked to the door of the imperial study, he turned around suddenly, and said with a bitter face: "Seventh brother, I didn't intend to lie to you. Uncle Zhe taught me."

"understood……"

Yang Qi waved his hand and drove Cao Wei away.

Not long after Cao Wei left, Yuqing came back.

Before Zhe Yuqing entered the door, he yelled, "Qilang, uncle lied to you. But it's no wonder uncle, that brat from the Cao family taught me to do this."

When Yang Qi heard this, his face turned dark.

Cao Wei and Zhe Yuqing had two different arguments, but Yang Qi believed in Cao Wei more.

Although Cao Wei was a little cautious, he was not so dark in nature.

Zhe Yuqing is different, he is a black-hearted old fox, it is not difficult to see from the rhetoric of giving the bear skin.

After Zhe Yuqing entered the imperial study, seeing Yang Qi's dark face, he knew that he was troubled.

Immediately, he said with a bitter face: "Qilang, uncle apologized to you. Uncle regrets that he listened to the slander of the Cao family boy and deceived you. Our uncle and nephew love each other deeply. You will not blame me for such a trivial matter. Uncle."

Yang Qi really wanted to yell at Zhe Yuqing: Uncle, can we show some face.

But when the words came to his lips, he didn't shout out.

He just smiled dryly: "No..."

Zhe Yuqing immediately felt relieved, and said carelessly: "That's good... By the way, Qilang, my uncle received a document in the morning, saying that the rules of the firearms transaction have been changed. There should be no such thing as the batch of firearms we traded. Why change?"

Yang Qixiao humiliated Zhe Yuqing's face, and the corners of his mouth twitched: "Uncle, the public is public, and the private is private. The new firearms transaction regulations were decided after discussions among hundreds of officials in the court. I can't change it arbitrarily." .Your firearms have not been released from the warehouse, so we can only do so in accordance with the new regulations."

Zhe Yuqing heard the words, and exclaimed: "Qilang, you, you, aren't you a cheating uncle? Uncle is very poor, and there are only a few coffin boards left. If you scrape them all away, uncle After death, you can only be left in the wilderness."

Yang Qi rolled his eyes, and said quietly: "Uncle, the hearts of the people are not enough, the whole north has been occupied by your Zhe family, and the area is thousands of miles, far wider than my big swallow.

Do you find it interesting that you cry poor in front of me? "

Zhe Yuqing's complexion changed, and he said with a dry smile: "Qilang, what are you talking about, uncle doesn't understand what you mean. How can Dajin compare with you, Dayan?"

Yang Qi raised his hand to caress the bear skin on the seat, played with the ferocious animal head, and said with a smile: "Although this thing was hunted by uncle, uncle probably doesn't know what it is, right?"

Zhe Yuqing was taken aback for a moment, then laughed and said, "Uncle, why doesn't he know what it is. It's a white bear."

"polar bear?"

Yang Qi grinned and said: "Is it the white bear in the extreme north? Colorful divine light, is it beautiful?"

Zhe Yuqing's complexion was changing, he finally couldn't hold back anymore, and said in a heavy voice: "Have you placed people in Dajin?"

Yang Qi glanced at Zhe Yuqing, and said with a half-smile: "Could it be that uncle, you didn't put people in my country of Yan."

Zhe Yuqing coughed dryly and remained silent.

The Zheyang family was no longer a big family in the past, but now Yanran has transformed into two royal families.

It is normal for people to be deployed between countries.

Even if the relationship between the two parties is very deep.

Yang Qi smiled and said: "If I want to know what your Great Jin did in the extreme north, I don't need to go through my subordinates at all. I can guess it just by the bear skin you sent me, uncle."

Zhe Yuqing said in amazement: "Have you seen this thing?"

Zhe Yuqing was shocked, this thing was hunted by the Zhe family who spent nearly ten thousand slaves and entered the extreme north.

After it was sent to the Dajin Palace, the Zhe family searched for many people to identify it.

Some people think it is an ancient mythical beast, while others think it is a white bear.

Opinions vary, and so far there is no definite number.

Zhe Yuqing can be sure that Yang Qi has never been to the extreme north, but he actually knows this thing, which makes Zhe Yuqing not startled.

"It's the first time I've seen it, but it's been a long time since I heard it."

Yang Qi played with the bear skin in his hand, and said with a smile: "This beast is called a polar bear. As the name suggests, it is only found in the extreme north. The extreme north is bitterly cold. If a person enters, it can be said that there will be almost no life." .

To hunt this beast requires a lot of manpower and material resources.

It should be impossible for the Zhe family to send a large army to hunt this beast.

Therefore, this beast must have been bumped into by Zhejia when it expanded northwards, reached the end, and then sent soldiers and horses to explore the road again.

Am I right? "

Although Zhe Yuqing didn't want to admit it, she still nodded and said: "Exactly."

Yang Qi's words are all about this, and Zhe Yuqing's sophistry is meaningless.

Yang Qi said with a smile: "The Zhe family can reach the extreme north, and the territory is probably not expanded by a single star. Presumably, the piece of land in the northern part of the country of Yan was also captured by your Zhe family.

Uncle wants to use this way to attack Waiyunzhou, probably because he wants to connect the land together for easy management.

May I know, what is Zhejia going to do with such a big place? "

Zheyu Aiqing hesitated for a moment, and said in a deep voice: "I discussed with your uncle and decided to split up the Zhe family. Except for your brother Zhewei who is staying in Fuzhou to inherit the rule, I and your other brothers , will divide the other lands of the Great Jin Kingdom."

"Secretary system?"

"It is, but not all. After the division, apart from the usual clan sacrifices, there is no upper-lower affiliation relationship between the various lands, and there is no need to pay tribute."

"Then if one party is in trouble, all parties support? The descendants of the Zhe family, even if there are one or two useless descendants, the others can help take care of them. Help each other, support each other, and ensure the long-term stability of the Zhe family?"

Zhe Yuqing's eyes widened, and she looked at Yang Qi with an expression of disbelief.

After a while, he smiled wryly and shook his head, "I really can't hide everything about Zhejia from you."

Yang Qi spread his hands, frowned and said: "History has proved that methods similar to the enfeoffment system are unreliable. Why do you continue to use them? Who would despise power? Isn't the emperor's centralized power system bad?"

Zhe Yuqing grimaced, and said: "It's too big, the place is too big, it takes a whole year to go from one end to the other. I'm afraid it will take a long, long time before a decree is issued, and another place Only then can we know.

The local Tu people rebelled, and the court didn't know until a long time later.

Although the emperor's centralized power system can reflect the supremacy of imperial power, people's energy is always limited and they cannot manage such a large place.

Rather than being taken away by others in the future, it is better to let your descendants take it first now.

Everyone supports each other. If one party has a problem, the other parties can also help.

In this way, the Zhe family's history can be passed on for a longer time. "

Yang Qi nodded thoughtfully.

Zhe Yuqing grinned suddenly and said: "Our family has many descendants, and your uncle is urging your brothers to work hard to marry and have children. No matter how fast the land is fought, how can it compare with the speed of life?"

Yang Qi couldn't laugh or cry.

The two uncles and nephews expected the end, and did not discuss the issue of the firearms transaction.

Now that the two sides have made the topic clear.

The Zhe family occupies such a large land, and they will be despised if they are greedy for a few firearms.

After sending off Zhe Yuqing.

Yang Qi also began to think.

The Zhe family has reached the extreme north, and the Cao family has the intention of developing to the extreme west.

Yang Qi can be sure that it won't be long before the whole of Asia will be conquered by the Han family.

And Han Jiazi, who has tasted the sweetness, will never stop.

Gather the Han family sons in Asia, and then go to attack other places, it will naturally be easy to catch.

He no longer needs to worry about Han Zixiong gathering on Earth.

What Zhe Yuqing said is that no matter how fast the frontier is fought, no one can live so fast.

As long as the sons of the Han family take root overseas, they will multiply and grow as fast as possible.

The future is expected.

He just needs to beat on the sidelines, while others go astray.

For the rest of the time, Yang Qi felt that it was necessary to build the Yan Kingdom well, and to have a good chat with his brothers.

Yan Guo wants to change for the better, and his own brothers must also take good care of them.

Cao Zhe and his family have already started to plan ahead, and he should also plan ahead.

No one can guarantee that all his descendants are interested persons.

There will always be prodigals or ambitious people.

The saying that you can't be rich for three generations is the biggest proof.

After figuring this out, Yang Qi asked Chen Lin to recruit several elder brothers who came to Yanjing City for pilgrimage.
