Traveling through the Prosperous Pastoral of Peasant Girls

Chapter 131 The Emperor's Candidate

"Grapes, there are too many, and it is still a big problem to move. For pear trees, you can choose to transplant them in winter when the pear trees are hibernating, preferably in early winter. When digging the tree, there is a huge mound at the root. Moisturize the roots of the tree, then cut the trunk short, plant it and take good care of it, it only needs a one-year recovery period, and it will bear fruit in the second year..."

"Let's see the timing for these pear trees. If Ruizong is pressing hard, we will send a few ships to them, and remove the seedlings before Ruizong can react. But you don't have to move all of them, pear trees. We can dig out one tree every other one or two, and we only need to remove a part, enough for the next reproduction. The grapes can only be dug out half of it!"

"You wrote to say that you saw Su Huan again?" Liu Tao talked about transplanting seedlings to Xiaoyan Country, and suddenly thought of Su Huan from Xiaoyan Country.

"That's right, Su Huan is the real queen, with that temperament, that momentum..." Jin Li not only spit, but also kept making gestures.

"..." Liu Tao pursed her lips and was speechless, squinting and looking up and down at Jin Hao.

Jin Li suddenly realized that this was the time for the vinegar jar to show its power again, and he didn't dare to touch the mold: "Ahem, is she..., hehe, she is still not as good as our Taoer!"

Liu Tao smiled contemptuously, and changed the subject: "Uncle Su went to Dayan Country, is there any danger?"

"He went there as the emperor's uncle, not to seize the throne, so what danger could there be?"

"It would be great if our business expanded to Yanchi Port. There is a new world there. I heard that there are many gold mines there, but it makes people greedy..."

"Hey, Taoer, money can never be earned, but a stable foothold is fundamental. I think Ruizong is a bit paranoid. He doesn't pay much attention to the people, but he is a bit partial to the officials under him."

"Brother Jin Yang, I only heard that Ruizong stepped up his crackdown on corrupt officials and imposed heavy taxes on merchants and ordinary people as soon as he came to power, but I haven't heard that he really raised money for officials at all levels to maintain integrity. Where did all the money go? He placed an order for you for three thousand crossbows and [-] crossbows, and he didn’t let you make the parts yourself, just as a guide. With such a huge number of weapons, It is not a reason to strengthen the country's armed forces, don't you doubt that he has other purposes?"

As soon as Liu Tao reminded him, Jin Yang's heart "thumped", yes, why didn't he hear that Ruizong really raised money for officials at all levels?Too busy these days to think of this.

"Hiss..., yes, where did the extra money collected by the court go? What happened to the hidden money? Also, if he customizes the gun and crossbow at a price lower than the normal price, I don't have any doubts. Question Is it his purpose of customizing the price significantly higher than normal? I suspect that he will use these weapons to launch a war of aggression, and there is a certain urgency. The target of the war will not be Xifan, nor Dongxiang The country can only be the Northland, and the possibility of being the Qinglang country is the greatest!"

"Since he asked you to guide their weapon making, can you defy his will?"

"Although I dare not blatantly disobey, I can play tricks behind my back and send a message to the governor of Montenegro, asking the governor to write to their king, asking him to increase the inspection of smuggled fine steel. The cargo ships from various countries that came to unload at the Liangshan Port in Daqingguo cut off the raw materials for making weapons at the source. It is estimated that there is no material, and Ruizong will have nothing to do with me... "

"Well, this is also a good idea. Not only do we not make weapons for him, but we also have to tell Brother Su to urge him, Uncle Wolf Master, to do a good job of defending the border, so as not to give the army of the Great Nation a chance to take advantage of it." .”

During that expedition to the Qinglang Kingdom, Ruizong had the idea of ​​attacking Fengcheng and killing their royal family, and incorporating the Qinglang Kingdom into the Daxiong Kingdom.It's just that the third prince launched a palace rebellion later, and after the news spread suddenly, his consummation plan was disrupted and he didn't have time to implement it.He deliberately prevented Jin Hao and the major merchants from providing life-saving food to the Qinglang Country. The reason was also to weaken the national strength and manpower of the Qinglang Country, so that it would be easier to take down the Qinglang Country later.

Several people were prepared for the war launched by Ruizong, and in order to transfer the industry cleverly to avoid taxes, they vigorously reduced the local industry, and even the shopping mall did not need to be built in a high-profile manner. Liu Tao modified the design of the shopping mall and split it into six. Medium-sized independent shops will also be sold in the future.The winery is no longer being built, but a large workshop has been built on the original site, which is also ready to be sold in the future.

In order to establish the shopping mall in Yawei Port as soon as possible, Jin Yan sent Boss Gong and the two to supervise the work in Yawei Port.

With the gradual completion of the shops and workshops for the buildings built by the Jinfu at the wharf, Jinfu's investment invitation notices have been posted all over the conspicuous places in the capital, and there are even various ports where the wharf and ships are accessible.The Golden Mansion will start auctioning new properties on August [-]th. At that time, businesses from all over the world are welcome to come and bid.

At the same time, Jinfu also announced that when the pier expires on December 3, it will no longer lease it to outsiders, but will sell eleven piers at once, each for [-] taels of silver. Interested parties You can buy it with money. In principle, the original tenants can get it first.

At this time, Su Qing wrote a letter, and to their surprise, Su Qing was embraced as the wolf lord of the Great Yan Kingdom, which was beyond everyone's expectations.

It turned out that they went to Yanchi Port, and after half a day and one night of downwind sea travel, the clipper docked at Yanchi Port the next morning.Not far from Yanchi Harbor was the military camp. Under the escort of Lao Jin and ten private soldiers, they went directly to the military camp.At this time, the military camp had been taken over by the second prince's think tank three days ago. They had obtained the seal of the marshal, but without the second prince's order, they could not give orders without permission, and could only stay in the military camp and wait for the second prince's order.As for the second prince escorting Su Hu and his son to Xianglu Island, they knew about it, but Su Hu's direct descendants in the barracks didn't know.

They entered the barracks directly, and those direct descendants couldn't see their father and son, and they even sent someone to the commander's mansion to contact them.In the past few days when they were away, the Marshal's Mansion didn't know what happened. Even the person guarding the gate was changed, no matter who they were, they were only allowed to enter but not to exit.The second prince's private army came to the camp again and took over the marshal's seal, making the soldiers at all levels who didn't know the inside story anxious like ants on a hot pot.This morning, the First Prince sent someone to take over the marshal's seal, the two sides fought, and finally the First Prince lost and withdrew.

As soon as Su Hu and his son appeared, the more than a dozen generals under him immediately had a backbone, and their morale immediately improved.Su Hu looked at these loyal generals, and briefly told the story of his family being massacred by the second prince, only to hear their enthusiasm and blood spurting.

Su Hu Suiji yelled: "Boys, first follow me to kill those gangsters and thieves who seized power. Don't be lenient, kill all of them, and my father and son will be responsible for everything that happens!"

They entered the Chinese army's tent, and the second prince's think tanks were also a little panicked because they had no news from the second prince for two or three days.In order to avoid accidents, more than a dozen masters left by the second prince guarded them in the central army tent.Their representative is Uncle Guo's younger brother, Uncle Er Guo. He and several think tanks are guessing that the eldest prince is anxious to take over the military camp, and it is possible that the old wolf lord has passed away.Several people are still researching, and Su Hu and his son have already brought people into the Chinese military tent.

Several people knew that the second prince had killed his family members, and they also knew that they were taken away from Xianglu Island. Seeing them appear, the second prince disappeared, which was a bit inexplicable.

Su Hu scolded Uncle Er Guo angrily: "What are you, dare to take my handsome position?"

"I took over the commander-in-chief at the order of the second prince. How did you come back, where is the second prince?"

The second son of Suhu said angrily: "My father and son have already wrenched off his dog's head and threw him into the sea to feed the bastard!"

"It's wrong, it's wrong, you are a big treason, come here, let me chop them up."

A dozen or so members of their private army rushed up wielding their weapons, all of them were strong men with high martial arts skills. Although Su Qing and Lao Jin stood in the inner circle of the private army of the Jin Mansion, they were still extremely scared.Lao Jin is not the same, he shouted: "Guard Marshal Suhu and the emperor's uncle, any rebels will be shot and killed!"

Twelve spears and crossbows were fired together, and more than a dozen of the second prince's private army masters had just raised their scimitars before they could react, and they died.Now only Uncle Er Guo and the four think tanks were left. Uncle Er Guo trembled in horror, and Su Hu and his son beheaded them all.

After clearing the tents of the Chinese army, Su Hu ordered people to blow the horn to gather the whole army, and led the whole army to immediately surround the palace.In the days without the Marshal, the officers and soldiers of the barracks were panicked and at a loss. Now that the Marshal has returned, they have a backbone in their hearts, and they are immediately full of energy. Only the Marshal's orders are obeyed.

At this time, the old wolf lord had let the eldest prince, who was anxious to succeed him, smother him to death with a pillow last night.He summoned all the officials in the palace, and was still preparing to accept the grand ceremony, the palace was surrounded by Su Hu's army.

The army broke through the imperial palace without any effort, Su Hu asked the cause of the old wolf lord's death, and the palace people who knew about it revealed how the eldest prince killed the old wolf lord, Su Hu, who was so angry and almost confused, shot the old man to death with an arrow. Prince.

Although the old wolf lord is the emperor, he and Su Hu are not only sworn brothers, but also the emperor and his courtiers. The two have been in an old relationship for decades. I didn't expect his eldest son to win his throne. Killed.

Although Su Hu shot the eldest prince to death, none of these ministers commented on what he did wrong. It can be seen that the impression of the eldest prince in these people's hearts is not very good.

The next step is to discuss who is the heir to the throne. According to the general rules of seniority, the third prince should be the successor.The third prince was brought up, and when everyone saw him, his mouth was crooked, his eyes were squinting and his stooped body was squinting, he seemed to be a little afraid of light, and he couldn't take over with this shape no matter what.There is also a fourth prince below, unfortunately only six years old, with serious asthma, looks short-lived, and timid, when he heard that he was asked to take over, he was so frightened that he burst into tears, unable to come up for a while The air twitched directly...
