Great Wei Overlord

Chapter 1092 Guo Jing's Ambition

Chapter 1102 Guo Jing's Ambition
The beacon fire lasted for three days, and the family letter was worth ten thousand gold.Guo Jing has no family members anymore, if there is one, there are only Ran Ming, the adoptive father, and Wang Zhilei, the adoptive mother.

Unfortunately, Ran Ming never wrote letters to his sons, not even his own son, let alone Guo Jing, his adopted son.

On the march three days ago, Guo Jing received a letter from Yecheng.

Ran Jingwen wrote more than a dozen sheets of small script for Guo Jing.This letter, in fact, can be said to be Ran Jingwen's diary, such as when she made tea one day, embroidered some flowers, or teased the palace lady and other trivial matters, and repeatedly asked Guo Jing "do you miss me" and so on.

Under Ran Ming's training, Ran Jingwen can be said to be hated by Xie Daoyun. Poetry, poetry, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, Ran Jingwen has ten senses and nine senses and none, but it is full of vernacular that makes people laugh. Guo Jing read it with gusto .

Thoughts are like wine, with a mellow and long-lasting fragrance, Guo Jing secretly vowed that he must make enough meritorious service to become the general of the Wei State, and then marry Ran Jingwen as his wife, and become the golden sword son-in-law of the Wei State.

However, the reality is very cruel. A small major is really not worthy of the princess of Wei State.

"Wait, I will definitely become the golden sword consort of Great Wei!"

The staff officer of the 26th Division immediately became angry when he found that Guo Jing's spirit was wandering away from the Nine Heavens.Can he not be angry?I've been talking for half a day.

However, Guo Jing observed Kemu City carefully, and said: "I have a way to break through the city, that is, go up the cliff from the north in the middle of the night!"

The staff officer said: "There is no need to think about this method. This cliff is as high as a hundred feet, and the Qin army will pour water on it at night. When the water is poured on the cliff, it will freeze like a mirror. It is impossible to go up."

Guo Jing laughed dumbly and said, "If you can't go up, it doesn't mean I can't go up!"

How could Guo Jing forget that Ran Ming told him about Huang Rong taking Guo Jing to the Bald Wood Peak?

Everyone has ideals. Ran Ming's ideal is to build a prosperous and strong country, where everyone has clothes to wear, everyone has food to eat, and everyone is self-reliant and no longer subject to external humiliation.Wang Meng also has a dream, which is to break the privileges of the gentry family and make the gentry family a historical term.With regard to the goal of weakening and suppressing the elites of the gentry, Ran Ming and Wang Meng have the same attitude and ideals.

After being exposed, the fledgling Wei Li couldn't resist the persecution of the royal secret guard's torturers.Not to mention that Wei Li is a fledgling, even an experienced dead soldier, in fact, he can't stand the royal guard's forced confession.Although Wei Li, as a low-level character, knows very little news in the "organization".But it is enough to know one thing, that is, there has been an organization determined to overthrow the Great Wei Ran Dynasty in Wei State.

Although Ran Ming and Wang Meng had been waiting for the counterattack of the noble family, but after hearing Wei Li's confession, Wang Meng broke out in a cold sweat.Conspiracy to sabotage such things is terrible. The more prosperous a country is, the more afraid it is of this kind of means, because you cannot guard against it.But once this kind of conspiracy is allowed to succeed, the consequences will be very huge.

Fortunately, only eleven officials died this time. If Wei Li hadn't succeeded in poisoning the baggage, if Wei Li hadn't succeeded in poisoning them, their corpses would be scattered all over the place.Wang Meng immediately thought that once the "organization" took action, it would definitely not be an isolated action. I am afraid that there will be corresponding sabotage activities in the future.

Wang Meng didn't dare to be careless, and immediately strengthened the management of the luggage and internal personnel, strengthened patrols and light and dark posts, to ensure that there were no problems with the Anxi official team, and at the same time he sent the most urgent farewell report to Ran Ming.

When Ran Ming got the news from Wang Meng, there had just been a heavy snowfall in Yecheng, but after seeing the secret report, Ran Ming still couldn't help but want to swear.More than 600 years ago, he actually faced the possibility of a terrible terrorist attack all over the country.

However, Ran Ming received the news too late. The "organization" has already begun to sabotage.First of all, rumors are flying everywhere.

"Anxi was flooded by the enemy's seven armies in Yibohai. As a result, more than [-] Anxi army soldiers had no bones left, and the entire army was wiped out."

There is no market for rumors created out of thin air. After all, the people are not fools, and they also have the wisdom to distinguish right from wrong.If there are no real rumors, in fact, the court will easily refute the rumors, so as to minimize the impact.It is true that there is no wind, no waves, no roots, no grass, if it is a half-true rumor, it will be the most deadly.

When the rumor of "Anxi's entire army was annihilated" came out, it immediately pushed the cabinet to the forefront.After all, Liu Ke died and injured more than 28 people in the Battle of Stone City, and more than [-]% of them were guards and partners of the Central Asia Development Company.At that time, in order to appease the anger of the Central Asia Development Company, Ran Ming tilted towards the Central Asia Development Company in terms of mining resources in Chuzhou.Even though the state of Wei had almost no private involvement in the gold, silver and copper mining industry, it issued a total of [-] licenses.Although the Central Asia Development Company's personal guards and employees suffered heavy losses, the Central Asia Development Company has indeed made a lot of money. It is well known to the world how much profit the Golden Road has since the opening of the entire Silk Road.

As for the ordinary guards and fellows who were killed or disabled in battle, Wei Guoranming also adopted the same treatment as that of soldiers killed or disabled in battle.More than 4 copies of death notices were issued.Once these family members who received the death notice flocked to Yecheng, they sought an explanation from the imperial court.Then the cabinet will be hard to argue with.After all, the common people don't know whether the soldiers who died in battle were from the Anxi Army system. Even if half of the [-] family members of the martyrs appear, they can still confirm this rumor. This is clearly the rhythm of killing the cabinet.

When Wang Jian heard the news, he was frightened and led the cabinet ministers to the palace to plead guilty to Ran Ming.

However, Ran Ming, who was sitting high on the throne, said calmly: "Wang Aiqing don't need to panic, the sky won't fall down, so don't be impatient. Not one of the more than [-] death notices issued by the cabinet will appear on the Yecheng!"

"This... this... how... is this possible!" Wang Jian and the others looked at each other, feeling that Ran Ming's words were too incredible.The policy of the State of Wei has indeed caused heavy losses to the elites of the gentry, and those who have successfully transformed will naturally make a lot of money, but many gentry have suffered heavy losses.Although the Taiyuan Wang family is not as famous as the Langya Wang family, there is absolutely no reason for the "organization" to bypass the Taiyuan Wang family. In fact, Wang Jian has heard about the "organization" for a long time, but in Wang Jian's view, the "organization" is nothing but A group of whimsical so-called "celebrities" fiddled with something.As a lineage of scholars, Wang Jian saw that they did not cause any substantial harm to the court of Wei State, so he did not attack.

"It's actually very simple." Ran Ming said seriously, "Because there are no eternal enemies in this world, only eternal interests."

To put it plainly, governing the country is like being a cook. It is difficult to agree with everyone. No matter what policy is formulated, there are those who gain benefits and those who lose interests.It hurts whoever the needle pricks.Now Ran Ming is deeply irritated by the noble family, if the noble family does not make a sound, in Ran Ming's view, that would be a strange thing.However, Ran Ming has been looking forward to this time, when the elites of the gentry can start an "uprising" like the end of the Sui Dynasty, and then Ran Ming can solve the problem of the aristocrats in the simplest and most brutal way.However, the elite of the gentry has always remained silent.

Similarly, in this world, there is no absolute loyalty. The so-called loyalty is because there are not enough bargaining chips for betrayal.Ran Ming believed very much that no matter how hard the imperial court suppressed the noble families in Wei State, as long as they had the support of the general public, any rebellion would be futile.

Wang Jian was also stunned for a moment. At this time, the treasurer Xie An said: "Your Majesty, the rumors should be refuted at this moment!"

Ran Ming said, "What's the cabinet's opinion?"

Wang Jiandao: "Although it is rumors and rumors, it is easy to cause panic in the world, but the mouth of the people is better than Fangchuan, and there is nothing I can do!"

Although the prime minister of the cabinet has a high position and power, let alone the prime minister, even the emperor is not omnipotent. Many things can only be thought about, but cannot be done.Wang Jian can have the power to use the army, but he can't use the army to stop the mouths of all the people.

Ran Ming said: "An Shi seems to have a plan in his chest. Could it be that he has a good idea?"

"Uh..." At this time, Xie An was a foreign relative, so the way to deal with politics was to protect himself wisely. In the face of national policies and guidelines, he easily kept silent.But now that Ran Ming asked him a question, he could only show shame and say: "I am stupid!"

Ran Ming was surprised and said, "Isn't even Anshi helpless?"

The cabinet ministers all showed guilt. It's not that they don't know, but they have no way to deal with the rumors. In fact, it is not difficult to find the source and cut off the head of the leader. That's it.The key is that the source of these rumors are only famous people in the field. Although these people usually talk unforgivingly, their morals are very noble.Cao Cao killed a Bianrang, but Yanzhou and the whole state rebelled.Even if Ni Heng insulted Cao Cao in public, Cao Cao could not kill him.

Because to put it in a bad way, the celebrities in ancient times and the well-known big Vs in later generations are all pissy and mad dogs.The more they care about him, the more they work hard, lest the world will not be chaotic.But once you kill them, you will be in trouble.

Ran Ming sighed and said: "Come back, gentlemen, this is the end of the matter, and you can do whatever you are busy with!"

After the cabinet ministers left, Ran Ming rushed to his servant You Yi and said, "Decree to Zhang Xun, the head of the Huaxia Chamber of Commerce, and see you at the Hall of Supreme Harmony!"

Now the Huaxia High League Association is the first to inquire about the official position of the regular servant of Sanqi in the province. Not too big, they can control the government.When Zhang Xun, the regular servant of Sanqi, learned that Ran Ming wanted to see him, he immediately asked his lower body to pull out the imperial white horse. Ran Ming had once rewarded him with the privilege of walking horses in the palace, which Zhang Xun usually does not need, but at this time he knew that Ran Ming had Looking for him urgently, how dare he delay?Immediately rode the horse and whipped into the palace.

In fact, at this time, the veterans of the Huaxia Business Alliance each have a huge consortium under their command. Without wealth of hundreds of millions of gold, they can't even enter the threshold.Youdao is a good businessman.The national husband's father is a member of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference. He is a serious cadre.

When more than twenty elders arrived at the Hall of Supreme Harmony, the dinner set by Ran Ming had already begun.Almost all of these elders had friendship with Ran Ming, and they were not polite. They ate and drank what they wanted.After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, the eunuch sang, "His Majesty the Emperor is here!"

These veterans of the Huaxia Business Alliance, who were originally drunk and chatting, immediately seemed to change their faces, full of energy, and did not look drunk at all.

"See His Majesty the Emperor, Sheng Gongan!"

"My dear ones, you are free from courtesy!" Ran Ming said straight to the point: "Today I have invited you here to discuss a major matter!"

Zhang Xun knew that the matter was not simple, so he said solemnly: "Please give orders to Your Majesty, how dare your servants refuse to follow?"

Ran Ming said: "I want you to kill the Central Asia Development Company."

As soon as the words came out, everyone was shocked.Zhang Xun has never been a timid person. He has never been rich, and now he is a regular servant of the provincial cavalry. This is a high-ranking official of the third rank.Although not as good as Lu Buwei, Zhang Xun is already a very successful businessman compared to the merchants among all living beings.Ran Ming said: "After the matter is completed, the Central Asia Development Company will be reorganized, and all the stores and resources of the Central Asia Development Company will belong to you!"

Zhang Xun took a deep breath, his chest swelled high, and he couldn't let it out for a long time, almost suffocating to death.

The Central Asia Development Company is one of the four behemoths under the Huaxia Business Alliance of Wei State, and belongs to the super consortium.Second only to Zhongnan Development Company and Nanyang Development Company, Ocean Trade Development Company.If Zhongnan Development Company has five wealthy families as its main shareholders, Nanyang Development Company and Yuanyang Development Company belong to the Jiangbei and Jiangnan gentry's industries.Of course, these four companies all have shares of Ran Ming.However, the Central Asia Development Company is a powerful and powerful industry in the northwest gentry.

Ran Ming and the Central Asia Development Company had a good honeymoon period of cooperation. However, as the Central Asia Company penetrated into the Western Regions and gradually became stronger, they, the rich Northwest families who made money, were a little bit swayed.Hundreds of thousands of horse bandits, sand bandits, and some tribes along the Silk Road are almost all controlled by the Central Asian Development Corporation, either openly or secretly.The drastic changes in Beiting, in fact, the Royal Secret Service Western Regions Battalion was almost wiped out, which is the credit of the Central Asia Development Company.Of course, Yuwen was also secretly supported by the Central Asia Development Company.

Although there was no problem to be found on the surface, the Central Asia Development Company did not know that Yu Wenyi, who was an enemy of Ran Ming on the surface, was actually Ran Ming's partner.Yu Wenyi took the benefits of the Central Asia Development Company here, and was afraid that the Central Asia Development Company would be sold in a blink of an eye.

The transformation of the Central Asia Development Company made Ran Ming feel a great shame, which was a naked betrayal.A group of uncooked white-eyed wolves.Liu Ke dared to use a knife to kill more than [-] private soldiers and key employees of the Central Asia Development Company in Stone City, because he had figured out Ran Ming's attitude towards the Central Asia Development Company.

It is very normal for a country to rebel, just like there will always be one or two yellow leaves on a leafy tree.Therefore, people often say that Xiejiabao tree has occasional yellow leaves, and green horses and horses, small flaws are inevitable.Ran Ming is the emperor of the Wei Kingdom. As an emperor, in the face of such a betrayal, there is actually no need to take such drastic measures.

However, Ran Ming's habitual thinking as a mafia boss still tenaciously occupied his heart, so he would not be like an emperor who would tolerate any betrayal without raising the flag to rebel.But Ran Ming is different, he absolutely does not allow this to happen.The emergence of a country within a country is absolutely not allowed.

Ran Ming said coldly: "How about it? Dare you do it?"

"Dare not to obey orders!" Zhang Xun and the elders hurriedly expressed their views.Who would have a grudge against money?Who would think too much money?The resources owned by the Central Asia Development Corporation, to be honest, these veterans really didn’t take a fancy to them. After all, the resources in the Indochina Peninsula, the Nanyang Islands, and the southern region of the Gupta Empire are more abundant than those in Central Asia (oil, evil spirits, etc.) There is no mining technology for the time being).The gold mines on Jinzhou (Mancijia) of Nanyang Development Corporation can mine as many as one million taels every year.As for the spices that are all over the mountains and fields that are used as firewood in the local area, it is money to transport them to Dawei.

However, the Central Asia Company has a golden road. Whether it is silk or porcelain, it can be sold at a high price equal to the weight of gold when it is transported to Rome. The Silk Road is simply a golden road flowing with gold.This is where the Huaxia Business Alliance is really tempted.

Just after Ran Ming reached a cooperation agreement with the Huaxia Business Alliance, Ran Ming began to order the royal special guards and hire navy troops to spread even more outrageous rumors in Wei Guoda.

"Have you heard? Not only our Anxi army of the great Wei Dynasty was wiped out, but Zhenxi was also beaten badly. I heard that Chang'an has already fallen!"

"It's not just that Chang'an is lost. I heard that all the three states in Central and South China have rebelled, and a million rebels are about to cross the Yangtze River!"

"Our Great Wei will always be defeated in every battle, it seems that the sky is about to change!"

A man with the appearance of a scholar is still talking loudly: "The current emperor has great ambitions and strives for governance. He has done a good job in the past few years. There is a saying that although a country is large, it will die if it is warlike. Your Majesty does not want to rest with the people, but willfully provokes Start a war, blindly start a war and expand the territory, how can the great Wei survive?" Maybe he was tired of talking, so he shouted loudly: "Barman, barman, two catties of cooked meat, a dime of good wine, hurry up, Grandpa is starving to death!"

However, at this moment, the bartender came up and said, "I'm sorry, sir, our shop has sold out of wine and meat today!"

The scholar frowned and said, "Then let's serve up all the food and drink!"
