Iron Dynasty

Road guide?

In the imperial study, Li Kaiyuan agreed and nodded.

With a bitter face, Li Kaiyuan continued: Your Majesty, these businessmen can't be too indulgent, businessmen seek profit, and some businessmen without conscience dare to do anything, and the lower official thinks that this time is the way to rectify some ulterior motives. merchants.

A businessman with ulterior motives? Xiao Ming smiled, he said; You are talking about the Cao family.

Li Kaiyuan seemed to have endured the Cao family for a long time. At this time, his resentment seemed to burst out. Your Majesty, this is the Cao family. Now Cao Zhengyang wants to set up a business with more than 100 merchants. This is clearly against the chamber of commerce.

Li San has already told me about this. Xiao Ming said lightly.

Seeing Xiao Ming's indifferent face, he said, Your Majesty, Cao Zhengyang has ulterior motives, does the court still have to endure him?

Xiao Ming's eyes were a little gloomy. At this time, he got up and looked at the peach blossoms that were blooming outside the window and said, Cao Zhengyang's actions are not suspected of violating the laws of the Great Yu Kingdom. Since he did not violate the laws, how should he be punished?

Li Kaiyuan was stunned for a moment, and he said: As long as the emperor has a word... When it came to this, Li Kaiyuan couldn't continue.

Xiao Ming laughed when he saw this, You mean that I can kill people at will? If so, how should the merchants and the common people view me?

Li Kaiyuan scratched his head, he said; Indeed, this move will make people panic.

That's it, there is no need to kill people, but it is easy for me to destroy the Cao family. I know the Cao family better than you, and I know that the Cao family is now honored by the king of Chu, but for me, it is not to deal with Cao now. At home, the pig is not fat enough now. Xiao Ming was very calm.

The Cao family has strong financial resources. Today, under his rule, seven mines have been established, three textile mills and a fleet at sea. The Cao family bank is even more famous.

In addition to wanting the Cao family to build more workshops in the six states, Li San found that the Cao family and the missionaries seemed to have contacts, which made him extremely vigilant.

Because he knew very well that the role of a missionary in this era was not simple at all, so he was ready to play hard to catch, and let Li San collect all the evidence before taking the Cao family into a pot.

At that time, businessmen will understand that if he gives them something, he can also get it back, and it is okay to do business safely, but there are some things that should not be thought about.

After telling Li Kaiyuan what he thought, Li Kaiyuan felt at ease.

Having said this, Xiao Ming continued; But although the Cao family is not being rectified now, we can appropriately suppress the Cao family in terms of trade, lest they make a mess of Qingzhou's business.

Yes, Your Majesty, this time, the lower officials will support the merchants in the six states, and tighten up on Cao Zhengyang's people, lest they lift their tails up. Li Kaiyuan said.

Xiao Ming nodded, this is the purpose of letting Li Kaiyuan come. In general, he wants to keep fighting with a group of businessmen headed by Cao Zhengyang, so that he can teach them some lessons, but also can not be defeated. It will affect the development of industry and commerce in the six states.

When Li Kaiyuan was sent away, there was a spring thunder outside, and there was a drizzle in the cloudy sky.

In a blink of an eye, Qingzhou has entered spring from winter.

At this time, Qian Dafu held up an umbrella for Xiao Ming, and the two returned to the bedroom from the imperial study.

At this time, in the bedroom, Luluo was pacing with Xiao Yi who was crying, while Ziyuan and Fei Yueer sat on the chairs, talking and laughing, while watching Luluo who was hugging Xiao Yi.

Today is complete.

Before he got to the bedroom, Xiao Ming laughed out loud, but he rarely encountered the three of them playing together.

However, when he entered the dormitory, he found that there was still a Cui Xue'er sitting behind the door.

emperor.

Seeing Xiao Ming, four crisp voices rang out. Cui Xueer seemed to be a little uncomfortable when she entered the house late, and her face flushed red.

Luluo and Ziwan have become more intimate with Xiao Ming than ever since they were named nobles. After all, they have become Xiao Ming's concubine.

However, the two of them are very self-aware, never gossip and fight for favor, and never say who's wrong in front of him.

This made Xiao Ming very pleased.

In this era, sometimes he can't choose, but now that the boat is done, he can only accept his own backyard.

Entering the bedroom, Luluo took the initiative to hug Xiao Yi to Xiao Ming's side. At this time, the puffed Xiao Yi was looking at him with wide eyes, pure eyes without a trace of impurities.

Seeing Xiao Ming, the little guy stretched out his calf and arms and moved, showing a smile, his mouth gushing out, Luluo immediately wiped it with a handkerchief.

Looking at his son, Xiao Ming's heart warmed. Emperors are also human beings and have their own emotions. Now, he suddenly understands Xiao Wenxuan.

They are all their own sons. Although they have their own preferences, they do not want to see them kill each other.

Xiao Yi is his first son, and he won't be the last. He doesn't want to see his son continue to fight for the throne.

So he secretly made a decision, a decision that would not let the feudal dynasty continue to circulate.

Your Majesty, what are you thinking? Fei Yue'er suddenly asked when Xiao Ming was in a daze.

When he came back to his senses, Xiao Ming smiled, It's just some government affairs. After a pause, he continued; By the way, why are you all in this bedroom today?

Fei Yue'er said: It's always a little boring to be bored in the row all day long, so the concubine asked them to come and talk.

Xiao Ming nodded. At this time, he suddenly remembered that the Great Yu Kingdom has never added any items to entertainment in this era for so long.

Now that Fei Yueer said this, he suddenly felt that some entertainment activities should also be used. After all, industry and commerce need to develop, and entertainment must also develop, so that they can complement each other.

Moreover, Yang Chengye reported a few days ago that foreign businessmen from Dengzhou often came to Dengzhou to gamble, which made him a little touched.

The money of these foreign merchants is not profitable. If they come up with some novel ways to play, they will definitely attract more merchants to Dengzhou to play.

After all, gambling is not illegal in this era. Instead of letting people open casinos randomly, it is better to let government officials standardize casinos.

Thinking of this, he said to Fei Yue'er; Since this is the case, I will give you an interesting thing to ensure that you will not be bored for a while.

Really? Since that's the case, the concubine needs to see and experience. Fei Yue'er laughed.

Aster said: The emperor is probably talking big. I haven't seen the emperor for all these years and didn't teach us anything fun.
