The Evil Emperor Pursues His Wife: Sheng Chong Shifei

Chapter 193 Game Reset
Chu Huaitian didn't talk nonsense to Chu Jiguan, and said directly: "The king of Guan Chu Jiguan's memory of the patriarchal clan is not clear, so he is not suitable to be the grand nominee of the clan mansion. Let's resign and return with honor. The loyal king Chu Huaizhong will take over the position of grand nominee."

"The minister obeys the order."

Seeing Chu Jiguan's hands trembling, Shangguan Qing secretly cursed that he deserved it, and then looked at another young man who had left the class to thank him, Chu Huaitian's younger brother, Chu Huaizhong, the king of loyalty.

Chu Huaizhong was a very handsome young man, he was a little older than Chu Qianhan by visual estimation, but the difference was not much.He was also the only one among the clan present who did not stand up to agree with Ma Feidu, the right servant of the Ministry of War.

People's luck is so wonderful, Chu Huaizhong just didn't stand in line, he was promoted by the clan mansion, and he was no longer an obscure clan.

After Chu Huaizhong took the decree to thank him, the other clans were visibly shaken. With Chu Jiguan leading the way, no one interrupted Shangguan Qing this time.

"The scales in people's hearts are all biased. They only want more benefits, such as money and power."

Shangguan Qing started with such a passage, and then said: "The new iron method is faster and cheaper to make iron. To completely abolish it requires the imperial court to invest a large amount of money to form an intelligence network all over the country. The money will not be less than a million gold, so that the new iron law can be banned on the surface, but what about those hidden iron factories?"

Shangguan Qing shook her head and said: "It is impossible to ban cleanliness, it will only make the court lose its advantage in this regard."

Ma Feidu immediately retorted: "I have been a guardian of Chu for 500 years, and there are loyal ministers everywhere in the world. Why do we need to temporarily form an organization to ban the new iron law, as long as the imperial court bans it."

"Do you believe this yourself?" Shangguan Qing asked back.

"I firmly believe it." Ma Feidu put on a righteous expression again.

Chu Huaitian snorted coldly, he didn't believe such praises.

Ma Feidu tactfully shut up temporarily.

Shangguan Qing continued: "Let me give you an example. In the wild, three rangers met three robbers blocking the road. They all had knives in their hands. They would not fight each other to the death. why?"

This time, before Shangguan Qing could finish speaking, Huang Jiadong jumped out and said, "A ranger doesn't kill harm for the people, why is he called a chivalrous man, what you said is impossible to happen."

"Huang Shangshu, may I ask which subject you are a Jinshi?"

"I was a Jinshi in [-], I was promoted by Emperor Xian, and I am now being used by the Holy One."

"Since you are a Jinshi, doesn't the sage book teach you that it is impolite to interrupt others?"

Shangguan Qing's words made Huang Jiadong's face red, and he said angrily: "What a sharp mouth." He wanted to use the guard to slap Shangguan Qing to death, but considering Shangguan Qing's force value, he didn't dare to do it.

No one bothered, Shangguan Qing told the previous story again, and then concluded: "They didn't fight because the other party had a knife in their hand, they were afraid of each other, and there was no blood feud, so why fight to the death."

"The same is true for the new iron law. Opening up the use of the new iron law will give full play to the imperial court's resource advantages. As long as the imperial court has enough and refined steel weapons, the outer military states will not dare to disagree. The so-called big is bigger. , This is the reason why the strong are always strong."

"Moreover, the use of the new iron law can increase the income of the court, and save the cost of banning the new iron law. The net income of millions of gold can be used to subsidize a lot of money used by the court."

"When it comes to the benefits of iron tools, it's just about farming. If farmers use iron tools, they can cultivate more land and produce more food. The people can eat enough, and the court's tax revenue will also increase. Another large amount of income that can be used by the court."

"Implementing the new iron law is beneficial and harmless, why should it be banned?"

After Shangguanqing finished speaking in one breath, Chu Huaitian was very satisfied. His original intention of building an iron factory was to strengthen the army, but he did not expect that there would be so many benefits.

Ma Feidu came out again and asked: "Since Shangguan mentioned the benefits of making farm tools, why doesn't Luantai Division produce farm tools, but make axles out of fine steel and sell them to merchants so that they can return the goods for profit? , Are merchants the most treacherous and cunning?"

Shangguan Qing did not answer the question directly, but said: "Since Ma Shilang said that the merchants are cunning, why does the Ma family in the northwest send out caravans every year to exchange deals with the barbarians? I am very worried about letting such a lowly family guard the northwest."

Without waiting for Ma Feidu to refute, Shangguan Qing turned around and said: "Your Majesty, on behalf of Ma Shilang, I request an order to forbid Northwest Huiyi and return the loyalty of the Ma family in Northwest."

"Sure." Chu Huaitian said cheerfully.

He also knew that it was impossible to forbid Hui Yi, he banned it on the surface, and the Ma family would send Hui Yi caravans in private, and the money was not enough.As Shangguan Qing said before, the scales in people's hearts are all crooked.Saying this, scaring the Ma family is also very fun.

Ma Feidu panicked, he was just a strategy against Shangguanqing.The Ma family needs to buy fine steel from Luantai Division at a low price, and it is best to get the new iron method.But years ago, Chu Huaitian was so easy to kill in the Imperial City Division and Luantai Division, no one dared to sell the secrets to the Ma family at this time, and Shangguan Qing was very strict, so they failed to succeed after several attempts.The Ma family hopes to drive away Shangguan Qing and make a fuss over the new Luantai Secretary Da Tiju.

As for Yanyin's profits, Ma's family felt that refined steel refining methods were more valuable than salt goods, so he planned this operation.

To Ma Feidu's surprise, Chu Huaitian's trust in Shangguan Qing was unbelievable. How could an emperor trust a courtier so much.

"Your Majesty can't." Wang Qiushan stood up to stop it, and many people breathed a sigh of relief.

Chu Huaitian only listened to Wang Qiushan's explanation, and then withdrew the decree.

At this point, everyone could see the emperor's support for Shangguan Qing, and they all obediently kept their mouths shut.

Walking out behind the ministers, Shangguan Wenhe once experienced the feeling of being alone, no one came to talk to him, this time he became the enemy of all the important ministers.

But Shangguan Wenhe is not worried, since he is not accepted by these people, he can cultivate a group of obedient subordinates himself, and the power of the prime minister is not a display.

It is still possible to turn over the table and start a new game.

"Xianggong walks so slowly." Just when Shangguan Wenhe was thinking, he heard someone calling him, and looked up to see Wang Qiushan waiting at the gate of the palace, obviously waiting for him.

"Wang Shangshu." Shangguan Wen and Gongshou suddenly felt moved by meeting a confidant.

"I've been waiting for a while. Tomorrow and evening, why don't you go have a drink to relieve your fatigue."

"Very good, let's go together."

"Go together."

The two walked out of the palace gate together, which was equivalent to officially announcing their alliance.
