There is a space man in the village [Rebirth]

Huo Chengyi did not expect that the effect of the "Soldier's Family Pension Shed" was far better than he imagined.

He originally just wanted to use this to let the Huo family and the Shangmeng win a reputation among the people, so that in the future, if there is a situation of killing donkeys, there will be a guarantee, a protection that makes the emperor worry about it.

But I really didn't expect that the people's admiration for their Huo family and the business alliance in the end was beyond expectations.

This is a good thing and a bad thing.

It is good for the common people to protect them, but if they support them too much, the emperor will be afraid of them if they make great achievements.

The reason why the Seventh Prince was able to become the new emperor so smoothly was not the result of years of reputation management among the people.

For this reason, Huo Chengyi was both happy and worried.

At this point, there is nothing he can do. He can only try his best to let the people below bring the court to publicize when they are fighting for the reputation of the Shangmeng.

Fortunately, the new emperor is busy with the war and the exchange of blood among the courtiers and has no time to take care of him.

The battle of Zhao Lu continued.

With a steady stream of military backup support, the Zhao army had no worries, had sufficient morale, and captured Lu State one city after another like a broken bamboo.

The Seventh Prince had obviously been preparing for this battle for many years, and Zhao Jun didn't feel like he was struggling because the battle line was stretched.Jamie Da

Every time a city is captured, the imperial court will immediately send a civil servant to follow in the past to preside over the construction of the town and control the situation, so as to prevent the people from rioting and clean up the mess after the war.

Huo Chengyi knew all the news about the state of Lu clearly through wireless telegrams.

I have to admit that the Seventh Prince is really a born emperor, with great ambitions and even more resolute methods.

The battle between Zhao and Lu lasted for three years. Three years later, Zhao Junbing came to the capital of the Lu Kingdom, the Emperor Lu hanged himself in his bedroom, and the rest of the Lu officials surrendered.

Since then, the war has been settled, the seven countries have become six countries, and Nanlu has become history.

"Good news, good news, our Zhao army has won, and Nanlu has surrendered!"

The results of the war were announced to the world, and the people of Zhao State fell into joy and tears filled their eyes.

The end of the war will bring beautiful peace, and the bloody men who went on the expedition will also go home and reunite.

"This battle is finally over..."

After the battle was over, the entire Huo family and members of the business alliance collapsed on the chairs and gasped for breath.

In the past few years, the soldiers on the front line have fought bloody battles, and they are also working desperately to deliver military supplies. Everyone is as busy as a top, half dead from exhaustion.

Now that the battle is over, I can finally breathe a sigh of relief. If I continue to be tired, people in their business alliance may die suddenly!

But although it was tiring, it was worth it. The business alliance made great efforts in the Zhaolu battle, and now His Majesty will definitely reward them.

"Chairman, taking down Lu State and our business alliance is considered a great achievement. How do you think His Majesty will reward us?"

Silver merchants are not rare, but status is something that merchants dream of.

Members of the business alliance are looking forward to it.

"This support operation has worked hard for everyone. I will try my best to seek benefits from His Majesty, but I hope that members of our business alliance will remember the principle that greed is not enough to swallow elephants, and that step by step development is our ultimate goal... "

"The original intention of establishing the business alliance was to hope that merchants from all over the world would unite and help each other. The foundation of the business alliance is still shallow. I hope that the business alliance can exist forever instead of disappearing with the change of dynasties."

When everyone was in full swing and happy, Huo Chengyi had to be a black face and pour cold water to prevent the members of the business alliance from getting carried away.

In the past few years, under his leadership, the business alliance has developed like a tiger and has a bright future.

But if everyone is too complacent and ignores the emperor's heart, then everything will be nothing but a mirror image.

His intention of setting up the business alliance is just to have more bargaining chips to make his family live better, and to protect his Xiaobai and his two sons.

He just wants to use the business alliance as a protective umbrella, not a sharp blade to seize power.

As long as this original intention remains unchanged, then no matter how many dynasties change, the business alliance will always be a business alliance. Why bother to throw watermelons and pick sesame seeds for the power of one dynasty.

Of course, not everyone has this kind of forward-looking and long-term thinking.

Power is a temptation that most people in ancient and modern times cannot refuse. Therefore, although the members of the business alliance dare not speak, they are more or less dissatisfied and do not understand.

"I know that everyone can't understand and agree with these words now, so out of humane considerations, I will give you two choices. You can choose the word rich or honor yourself, or it will be the same as before. Give me an answer in three days."

Huo Chengyi didn't explain much to everyone what he thought in his heart.

Even if his ideas and ideas are spoken out, these people may not necessarily understand them, and if they understand them, they may not necessarily agree with him.

But everything is not absolute, power may be powerful, but if you do it to the extreme, how do you know that nothing can surpass power?

Another most important reason is that the foundation of the business alliance is too shallow, and it must move forward steadily...

The three days are an opportunity for the members of the business alliance to choose their lives, and it is also the time for the business alliance to screen the crew.

The business alliance does not need members with different ideas, and usually resolves it as soon as possible.

People's hearts are different, Huo Chengyi couldn't help sighing when he received the reply three days later.

One-third of the members of the business alliance could not refuse the temptation of power and chose to disembark halfway.

In fact, this result is not unexpected. Scholars, farmers, businessmen, and ancient people valued status far more than modern people.

Water flows to low places, people go to high places, no one is to blame.

But that's okay, these people are gone, and the rest are absolutely loyal to the business alliance. Anyway, the business alliance is now limited to the country of Zhao, and the people sent to other countries are slaves from the valley.

These people who the business alliance chooses to leave now have no impact on him.

Half a month after sorting out the list in hand and reporting the result of the battle report to the world, Huo Chengyi went to the capital alone with the father-in-law who delivered the decree.

……

When the Seventh Prince ascended the throne, the ceremony was held very hastily because of the Lu State.

Therefore, the celebration of subjugating the state of Lu this time was very grand, and it could be regarded as compensation for the new emperor's hasty accession to the throne, and the Ministry of Rites flattered the new emperor.

After three years of busy work, the entire state of Zhao, whether it is the officials in the court or the generals, is in the hands of the new emperor, and the power can be said to be strong.

All the rights are in his hands, and the Seventh Prince no longer has to hide his work like before.

During the war, the hidden forces in his hands have slowly emerged, so besides Huo Chengyi, there are many people who were not well-known before but actually worked for him when he came to Beijing this time.

It's quite unusual for Huo Chengyi to get together with these people.

There are all kinds of people in it, but without exception, they all have special skills, presumably they are the staff talents that Huang Qi has recruited through visiting the people for many years.

Diving has been hidden for many years, and now the new emperor's power is stable, and it is also a good day for them, the behind-the-scenes heroes.

Therefore, when they get together, everyone has a gratifying smile on their faces. Even if they don't know each other, they talk to each other in a harmonious way.

Huo Chengyi has always been good at talking, and he has contributed the most among the staff this time, so he gets along very well with everyone. When he reached the foot of the capital, he was already comparable to several brothers.

Gathering them together so blatantly, it seems that the Seventh Prince is still trustworthy and did not directly kill the donkey.

However, whether the reward for being called into the palace this time can be satisfactory is open to question.

Huo Chengyi pondered.

On the night of entering the palace, he was indeed summoned to the imperial study alone.Jamie Da

I haven't seen him for a few years, and the Seventh Prince seems to be a bit older. Also, those in power have a lot to worry about. In the past few years, there are internal and external troubles. It is not normal for Huang Qi not to work hard and grow a few gray hairs.

"It's good to be young, look at you kid, you haven't changed at all in the past few years..."

The Seventh Prince's voice was still as gentle as ever, but it was a bit more majestic than an emperor.

Huo Chengyi grinned, still unscrupulous in the past, flattering.

"Your Majesty, my son is seven years old, how can he not be old? Just wait, next year I will grow two white hairs for you."

Jamie Da

"Are you seven years old? I heard that your husband gave birth to twins for you. He is very smart, especially the toddler brother, Yuxue is cute. She is the same age as my little prince. It is a blessing to grow up..."

Huang Qi was dressed in a dragon robe, stroking his beard and smiling like a neighbor's grandfather.

After the words fell, Huo Chengyi's heart sank for a moment, secretly thinking that this old fox wanted to catch his Bao'er's attention!

His support to the imperial court in the past few years can only be roughly estimated by others, but Huang Qi is very clear, and he can see the accounts clearly.

Those numbers are enough to make the other party look at him seriously.

Now that the war is over, anyway, he will have two results: one is to be won over, and the other is to die as a cunning rabbit.

Marriage is a means used by the powerful to win over and cooperate.

If ordinary people knew that the emperor wanted to get married, they would be happy to call their ancestors for blessings, but Huo Chengyi was different, he knew that the rich and powerful were hard to mix.

Moreover, in ancient times, there were three wives and four concubines, and the emperor's family regarded marriage as a benefit, so he was reluctant to let his Baoer be wronged after getting married in the future.

Regarding his family members, Huo Chengyi has always had a tough temper.

"Your Majesty, I appreciate your kindness, but I hope you can understand the villain's thoughts as a father. I just want our two children to be safe and happy in the future, and I don't ask for great honor."

"I know your temperament, this matter is casual, you can let it go if you don't want to. It's just that you have made great achievements in the battle of Zhaolu this time, and I have to reward you well..."

Huang Qi's smile remained unchanged.

"Small people like to do business to earn money. Your Majesty, you are happy with any kid, but if you are bold, you want to ask for some benefits for the members of the business alliance. I hope your majesty will be accommodating."

"you say……"

"First, for this support, the merchants of the business alliance have made great efforts, and people are going to the high ground. Some members of the business alliance want to serve His Majesty, and please think about it."

"Secondly, scholars, farmers, businessmen, and merchants have been looked down upon since ancient times, so I hope that His Majesty will give more convenience to merchants in the future. We are the people of Zhao State, and we are also serving our country."

These two requirements are not excessive.

And after this incident, as long as the Seventh Prince is not confused, he can deeply understand the importance of merchants to the country, and he will definitely not suppress the development of merchants with class.

"Okay, I agree. In addition, I will not break my promise to you at the beginning. In addition, you will be granted the title of third-class earl again, which can be hereditary, and the fiefdom of Haichang County. Are you satisfied?"

A title of title is a powerful family, but having a fief means paying tribute to the court every year.

Haichang County is notoriously poor and remote.

At the beginning, it was agreed that his children and grandchildren would not be allowed to enter the officialdom, so it was clear that he would be kept in captivity to cut off his flesh...

"Old man, you are an old fox!"

Huo Chengyi couldn't hold back his temper and swearing.

"Each each other."

Huang Qi stroked the beard on his chin and smiled triumphantly.

Huo Chengyi immediately stared angrily and unrulyly, and then retreated angrily.

After returning to the rest room and closing the door, someone showed a treacherous expression, and leisurely sent a telegram to Xiaobai at home, reporting the good news.

A wise man is sure to miss something, Huang Qi, this old fox, just wait for him!
