It can be said that Li Cong's life here is very comfortable. This girl has also begun to wear some women's clothes brought from the earth. In fact, she herself feels that these clothes are better than the ones here.
The clothes are much more beautiful. She herself is not a fool. Of course she understands what kind of things look better and what kind of things don’t look good. For them, there is no one else now, so they just wear what they wear. Li Cong
It's a feast for the eyes. Compared with Xiao Longnu's youthfulness, the woman in front of her is like a peach. She's still very familiar. In fact, men's eyes are often attracted to such women.
Yes, those young people will be arranged at the back. Many people understand this, but sometimes they just don’t say it out loud. This is the case now. Now Li Cong is comfortable, but his grandson is
I'm not feeling very comfortable anymore. Li Li originally thought that they could breathe a sigh of relief about the prince. They just need to slowly negotiate with the prince. Who knows, but the news came out for some reason. This
Before the prince started negotiating here, the Northern Empire's court had already sent other people over to change this guy's job. They said that this guy was not good enough, so they directly replaced him with someone else.
What's going on? The secret agents of the Cao Family Trading Company also began to inquire about this matter, because the people in the Cao Family Trading Company had already formulated the steps to take action on this guy, but they did not expect that in the end it would be like this.
As a result, of course they couldn't accept it. What was going on? What did they do wrong? Could it be that the handle that the Cao Family Trading Company had in their hands was no longer useful?
Did it happen? How did they know? This is definitely a big problem. These damn guys should not be so sensitive. If they even knew this, our life would be really difficult.
.
The top management of the Cao Family Trading Company held an urgent meeting. Now they can only start some small wars in a small area. If they really go against the people of the Northern Empire in a big way, they don't have the ability to carry out a clearing campaign in the rear.
It has already begun, and it is impossible to mobilize troops in a short time. However, there are many airships, and airships can only be used for bombing. The final occupation still requires the army, and other services are in this aspect.
It's useless. Besides, this place is different from the earth. On the earth, the navy and air force can definitely make a Guo family surrender because their land area is not very large. If you want to take risks, then
It is impossible, but it is different here. If you want to bomb the entire Northern Empire at once. That is absolutely impossible. Even if some factories on the earth all produce weapons, it will not be enough.
It may be completely wasted by some resources on the earth. Now the production on the other side of the earth uses raw materials from here. Otherwise, they really can’t support this side by relying on the raw materials from that side of the earth.
For such a big war, fortunately there are still a lot of raw materials here, and the war can still continue. The people of the Cao Family Trading Company just can't let the people of the Northern Empire see that they have no way to carry out the war now.
If they find out, they will be on the edge of the cliff. How do the people of the Cao Family Trading Company do things? If the people of the Northern Empire find out about this, their previous victories will be lost.
It is not considered a victory, and it may become a laughing stock of the enemy. Such a thing must not happen. The new person from the Northern Empire is also a prince. It can be said that the relationship with Li Cong's wife is not very close.
In the past, it was useless to let a nephew like the prince play the family card. They also knew that it was useless. The people of the Cao Family Trading Company were determined to carry out the war to the end. The Northern Empire
Of course, people don't know about the prince's life experience. What they know is that the prince is no longer of any use. Even the new eunuch around him has betrayed him. How could other people do it?
Who is loyal to this guy? That is simply impossible, so they need to use another prince to replace this useless prince. This guy can't do anything, and let the Northern Empire
People are embarrassed. In fact, people in the Northern Empire don't need to worry about this problem, because they have always been embarrassed in their dealings with the Cao Family Trading Company. They are very aware of such things.
The top management of the Cao Family Trading Company has been unable to guess what happened to the Northern Empire this time. It is said that they should be soft to the people of the Cao Family Trading Company. They should not act so tough. Could it be that you just said it casually?
Can we just listen to you with just two sentences? That is simply impossible. For us, such a thing is a matter of course. Li Li can’t guess what the Northern Empire wants to do, right?
Are my expectations too high? Can a huge empire be crushed with some conspiracy? Such a thing has never happened before. I don’t know if it can happen now. I just know that there are some things that I don’t know.
It's as simple as you think, at least that's how it is now. The people in the Northern Empire are not as useless as you think. Looking at their looks, you can tell that they must know something. In fact, the current strength of the Cao Family Trading Company is not at all
It just can't stand up to scrutiny. Anyone with a brain can know that most of the troops of the Cao Family Trading Company have no way to go to the front line. Their main focus is now on their rear. Now the Cao Family Trading Company
The reserve armies have already been used, and more than 1,300 new provinces have been accepted. Even if one province needs 500,000 troops, it is a large number. This is not a small number for the current army of the Cao Family Trading Company.
It is simply a huge pressure. Originally, the people of the Cao Family Trading Company did not think of occupying so much land. In their view, being able to obtain hundreds of provinces in the Western Empire was already a good success.
Go to bed. Who knew that the people of the Western Empire were so useless? They knew how to retreat when the war started. Apart from retreating, they basically did nothing useful. Since you are all so useless, we will not do anything.
What are you talking about? If we don’t eat the meat that is served to our mouths, what will others think of us? But eating is a very simple matter, but how to digest it is not that simple. Just like now, Cao
Many people in the Cao Family Trading Company thought that the people from the Northern Empire must have discovered something, otherwise they would not have dared to be so tough. You must know that when the people from the Cao Family Trading Company took down Lucheng, all these guys
They were so scared that they wet their pants. They didn't dare to look like this. Each of them felt very uncomfortable. They could have eaten at least hundreds of provinces in the Northern Empire in one bite, but now it seemed like they would have to eat it.
To shorten this matter, the people from the Cao family business quickly collected information about the prince of the clan. They had obtained so much information about the prince before. Basically, it was of no use, and they all knew it.
It is very clear. There is nothing that can be done about this. This prince must have been tricked by someone. This guy will not be a useful person after he goes back. Even if he checks it clearly, it will not be of much use.
Because such a person is simply an unimportant person. What use is he to such a person? He just throws it away. The prince did not think that it was because of a eunuch. Now he is nothing.
Very depressed. I was still very important before.
Of course, the Northern Empire can't just get a useless prince. If this is the case, they might as well not get him. Since they are here for negotiation, then this person's ability is not comparable to that of ordinary people.
, among some royal families, there are definitely many people with abilities. These people are called ability users, just like the Prince Wanhuai who is here now, a person who looks like he is in his fifties.
The same old man, this man can be said to be one of the highest princes in the Northern Empire, and the title of prince in his family is hereditary. In other words, this man has made great contributions to the Northern Empire in the past.
If there was no such contribution, it would be absolutely impossible to have such a situation. Generally speaking, if you are a prince at the beginning, you will be a county king when your son is born, and you will become a county king when your grandson is born.
The first-class Duke, the second-class Duke when the great-grandson is born, the third-class Duke when the next generation is born, and the sixth generation when he reaches the first-class Marquis. At this time, there is no need to worry about the continuation of the title in his family.
If it falls, it will become hereditary. Therefore, the descendants of these people can get a good title, but the hereditary title of marquis is completely different from the hereditary title of prince.
Yes, according to the data provided by the military intelligence department of the Cao Family Trading Company, there are only four princes in the entire Northern Empire who are treated like this, but there are more than a dozen marquis who are treated like this. Can their status be the same?
Whether it is their own fiefdom or the army they own, they are all different. Some people say that nobles like them can be said to be the nobles among the nobles. No matter now or in the future, their titles will not be reduced. Many other
A family with a title is considered good, but you will be demoted in the future. Now it seems that your family is still OK, but what about in the future? The princes will interact with the princes. In the future, your family will
If you are a duke, you are still qualified to associate with the prince, but what if you become a marquis in the future? Do you still have the nerve to enter the prince's palace? This seems to be impossible, and they are also concerned about such things.
It is very clear, so these hereditary and replaceable titles are very valued. Another difference is that if ordinary nobles make any mistakes, the emperor will not be a little soft-hearted.
Your title will be taken away immediately. You must know that an empire also loves these dukes very much. If your titles are gone, then you will be different from some common people. This is also a very good thing.
Yes, a title brings a lot of money to the court every year. The emperor was already uncomfortable with this matter. There is no reason for me to live such an uncomfortable life as an emperor. You people
Life is so comfortable. Even if you tell such things, you would be shameless. So when a noble is living a relatively good life, that is when His Majesty the Emperor is thinking about you. In fact, His Majesty the Emperor is not thinking about you either.
Yours, I mainly care about your money.
But if the hereditary and irreplaceable prince makes any mistakes, it will be different. There is often a lot of power behind such a prince. At most, it is just some painless punishment.
It won't break your muscles and bones, which is why they have such a big list. Many people have said that as long as they are born in such a palace and don't rebel, usually nothing will happen to them.
They all know this problem clearly. If they didn't know this, their previous efforts would have been in vain. Prince Wanhuai was mainly in charge of the household department of the Northern Empire. What a big deal it was for the Cao Family Trading Company.
He is very clear about the behemoth of the Cao family. Up to now, the Northern Empire still owes a huge loan to the Cao Family Commercial Bank. If the money is repaid, the interest alone will cost hundreds of billions of silver every year. This principal amount is really not worth it.
Dare to say it. His own family also has a loan of 200 million silver from the Cao Family Commercial Bank. They all say that they, the princes, have enough money at home and there is no need to go to the Cao Family Commercial Bank for a loan. But what is going on?
, it is estimated that only they themselves know that there are often times when there is a shortage of silver in the palace. This is a normal thing. If you think that there is gold everywhere in the palace, then you can use a small room for everything.
If it's all gold, I guess they'll trade it with you. It's okay for the princes to spend their daily lives, but not for some big expenses. Prince Wanhuai's annual salary is only a few hundred thousand taels of silver.
This is a good income for a family, but in a place like the capital, the princesses go out to socialize. This night, they spend a lot more money than this. There is nothing that can be done about it. They all say that men
It represents the face of the prince's palace. In fact, it is not true. The clothes and jewelry on this woman can better represent the face of the prince's palace. If you are wearing very gorgeous clothes, it means that you are a good match for the prince's palace. There are some in your family.
It's a lot of money, but if it's a little bit shabby, a lot of people's gossips have come out. The nicer thing is that I spent a little too much in the past few years, and maybe I can't keep up now, which is not nice.
It’s just that this princess doesn’t have much future. The prince didn’t even give her the clothes on her body. Such a princess will definitely not have many opportunities in the future. It’s better not to be with such a person. Save the money.
A lot of things will happen in the future. There are really a lot of people who think like this. Each of these people are very depressed about such things. For them, this face is more important, even if
If the prince doesn't give them money to buy some of his own things, he will have to buy them for himself. Even if he uses his own money, it doesn't matter. This is not only for the prince's sake, but also for his own face.
, it is for this reason that Prince Wanhuai's family has thirty wives who have received the royal jade certificate, and there are even more wives who have not. Every month, the money given to them is worth tens of millions.
There are many places for him to get money, but there are even more places to spend money. If he doesn't get some money back, how will he live? Prince Wanhuai can play by himself, but
He is also absolutely capable. He is one of the few good people in the royal family. For such a person, he is still very good.
The imperial court of the Northern Empire still believed in their Prince Wanhuai to a certain extent. Just like now, the officials he brought were basically selected by him. It can be said that His Majesty the Emperor did not send him any orders.
Who followed the prince was not the same as when the prince came. On the surface, the prince brought all his own people, but in fact they were very clear about a few of the emperor's people. It can be said that
The prince would feel very uncomfortable if he stayed with those people, because those people were monitoring him. No matter what happened to him, the capital would know it immediately. In fact, such things are rare.
It has no effect. If the emperor really wants to do something like that, they will feel extremely helpless in the end. How could such a thing happen? For them, the occurrence of such a thing means that
There are some problems with their brains. There is really nothing wrong with their brains. They don't want such a thing to happen. Prince Wanhuai doesn't need to worry about such a thing, because he only has his own people.
, of course, this is what he thinks, there must be His Majesty the Emperor's spy, otherwise this guy will directly sell out the imperial court in exchange for some things he needs. If this is the case, I really don't know.
What should I say? Their final result will definitely be very tragic. It is obvious that Prince Wanhuai is not willing to see such a thing happen. No matter what, even if both parties keep their guesses, this negotiation
The meeting started, and it was Min De who came to discuss this matter from the Cao Family Trading Company. Prince Wanhuai's Palace Chief Shi came to meet with Minde. Don't underestimate this Prince's Palace Chief Shi who is only an eighth-rank official, but he
Having followed Prince Wanhuai for thirty years, it can be said that this guy is definitely the prince's confidant. There will definitely be a lot of things in this person's mouth, but he still doesn't dare to give gifts so blatantly. In private
It would be no problem if I could give you some small gifts or something like that. In the end, they would be very willing to do this and they would all know it clearly.
"Sir Minde's reputation is so small that even in the interior of the Northern Empire, I have heard it a lot. It is said that your mouth can hold up millions of troops. When I saw it today, it was indeed well-deserved. They all said
This is too much to say. I think it must be at least tens of millions of troops." This guy actually knows what role he is. When he was in the Northern Empire, no matter in the province below,
Still in the capital city where the powerful are gathered, this guy's mouth can be said to be very powerful. What he says to anyone he meets is what he says in front of him. He knows very well what role he plays in the Cao Family Trading Company.
In front of me, let alone him, even the prince in their family is just the same. The Southern Empire is gone, and half of the Western Empire is still left. The remaining part is also the meat of the Cao Family Trading Company.
Similarly, as long as they are happy, they may be eaten at any time. They are very clear about such things, but there are some things that can be said and some things that cannot be said. Now something like this has happened
It would be better to do less of this in the future.
"Haha, Chang Shi was joking. In this case, it's okay to tease Menzi in normal times, but it's not okay if he really says it out loud. Although Chang Shi and I didn't have any interactions in the past, we also
We hit it off right away, and we are all friends. Now it’s up to me. I don’t have anything to offer. This is just a small gesture, not a sign of respect. It’s definitely not for that or anything like that.
You understand, it is purely the feeling between us." Minde said and gave a very gorgeous little thing to Chang Shi. Everyone in the palace is greedy for money, and they usually live in splendid clothes and jade.
For them, it doesn't matter even if they accept these things. The prince has already told them before coming here. It doesn't matter if they take some ordinary gifts or something, as long as they don't sell them.
Okay, but if such a sign really appears, your heads will be taken directly. After all, He Guo's story has been spread throughout the empire, and the prince of those eunuchs is very clear about their bad roots.
, so I didn’t bring those people directly. These people who came this time have been following me all year round. They can also be said to have families. This is relatively good, even if they want to betray themselves.
, you also have to look at the situation of the people in your own family, right? Are they really trying hard to get rid of the people in their own family? If this is the case, there is really nothing to say, you can just kill them.
Chang Shi took a look at it quietly just now. Yes, it was a very good thing, and the value was not that expensive, but it was very lacking, which was only about a few hundred thousand silver. When he was in the capital, only someone asked him to make some.
Such things are only available when there are relatively big things. He didn't expect that they would be available immediately when he arrived at Cao's Trading Company. He knew very well about Cao's Trading Company's gift-giving, but he was just jealous in the past.
That's it, they don't have their own share at all. For them, they are very clear about the matter in front of them. In the past, people from the Cao Family Trading Company did not just give gifts casually. They must have also
You need to see what kind of people they are. They have very high standards for looking at people. They will only give gifts if they can use them. In the past, there were several people from the royal palace and the Cao family business in the Northern Empire.
For those who have contacts, the Cao Family Trading Company will bring them a lot of good things every month. The long history of the palace also knows them. My life is really incomparable with others. I can eat it myself.
A meal worth hundreds of dollars feels good. People eat like this every day, and I am jealous, but I can't help it. Although the prince in my family is in charge of the money and food of the household department, he has nothing to do with the Cao Family Trading Company.
There was no interaction. Previously, they asked someone to come up to explore the way, but in the end, they were directly pulled out by the prince. It had no effect at all. Of course, they would not come again, which is why they did not want to come.
One reason.
"Sir Minde, you are so polite. I have seen a lot of the world with our prince. If you have anything to say, just ask." This guy didn't show much enthusiasm after collecting the things. At this time,
He also knows how he should work. Some things are not done this way. They also have to understand some things that cannot be done. They all know that the negotiation is now at a critical moment, but the people from the Northern Empire suddenly become tough.
Get up, why, that's what Minde needs to know.
Minde drank tea and water with this guy all night, and then sent this guy back. It can be said that he didn't get any news. This old guy is definitely a talent, you can say he is an old fox, so
People like this are not easy for anyone to deal with. If such a person really gets angry, it will be his fault later. When he left, although he didn’t get any news, he still gave him
I bought ten thousand taels of silver banknotes, which can be regarded as a beginning and an end. I asked this guy to go out and wander around to see if he had any good things to bring back. He said that he should give the family members a greeting gift, so he didn't
I went out to help you select. You know the preferences of your family members. You all just take them. That's it. There is nothing else. (To be continued...)
