How many years have you been waiting for this day?
He looked at the young master in front of him with mixed feelings!
The baby who was still an infant in the past has now grown into a towering tree. The late emperor has a spirit in heaven!
Master Zhang said: "Young Master, why did you suddenly make up your mind?" As a veteran of the Three Dynasties, he must ask the Young Master clearly about his every step. He does not want the Young Master to fall into the abyss!
Liu Mizhou said calmly: "I suddenly figured it out!"
Master Zhang sighed with emotion, "It's a pity that it's not too late. I wish you had figured it out earlier! At that time, the heroes were divided and we took advantage of the chaos to start an uprising. We have a great chance of winning!"
Liu Miezhou said: "The odds of winning are now high." You don't want Mr. Zhang to know that he decided to start the uprising in order to avenge his wife! Every word he says must show his strong self-confidence!
Master Zhang said: "Now that the world has been settled, the Song family's cavalry has almost wiped out the world. It will be very difficult for us to start an uprising now! But don't worry, young master, we have never given up on the great cause of restoring the country over the years. We have been secretly training soldiers and horses
, you can bring out five thousand cavalry and twenty thousand infantry at any time!"
Liu Miezhou's eyes flashed and he said: "Five thousand cavalry... is not much, but it is better than nothing!" If the five thousand cavalry are used well, they can play a big role! It is said that one of the adopted sons of the Demon Lord is
With five thousand soldiers and horses, he once caused a great disturbance in Western Shu and turned the world upside down!
Mr. Zhang agreed: "Yes, people eat what horses feed, which is a lot of expense! It is really not easy to support these soldiers!"
"You have worked hard all these years!"
"It's not hard work! Our lives were given by the late emperor, so what's the hard work? What I'm most worried about now is that the soldiers and horses of the Song Dynasty are now stationed in the whole territory of Shu. We must take every precaution when doing things! In addition,
These soldiers are checking the details of all the businesses. Once they discover the business like ours, they will probably
A huge sum of money!" When the Shu Dynasty was not destroyed, the officials from all over the country turned a blind eye to some shady business for the sake of Liu Mizhou, but now the Shu Dynasty has been merged into the Song Dynasty.
, some military dignitaries will definitely take the opportunity to "share the fruits" and dare not openly grab it, but they will definitely not let go of some industries in the gray area!
They may not necessarily eat them all alive, but they will definitely not be able to escape after eating a large portion!
The business Mr. Zhang is talking about is naturally the salt and iron business monopolized by the imperial court! If you want to recruit troops and expand your strength, you cannot do without money! There is an incredible amount of money!
How to make huge amounts of money, of course, is a huge profit industry!
What industry is hugely profitable?
Nothing more than two kinds!
One is the industry monopolized by the imperial court!
One is an industry operated by private monopoly!
Mr. Zhang once considered monopolizing private industries, such as tea, silk, and porcelain, but later he found that it was impossible!
The consumption of tea, silk, and porcelain by ordinary people is too small! Those who can really afford it are the rich!
There are few target customers, but there are many merchants in one industry. As the saying goes, there are more wolves than meat! Moreover, those merchants have the background of the imperial court. No matter whether they use fair competition or shady means, they cannot effectively suppress their opponents!
The competition is extremely cruel and you basically don’t make any money!
So everyone decided to take the risk and start getting involved in the business monopolized by the imperial court!
Once they made it, they immediately tasted the sweetness!
The consumption of salt is simply beyond imagination! There is no household in Shu that does not need salt. This has nothing to do with poverty or wealth, it is what people need! With such a huge demand market, bargaining is not allowed, and the profit margin during this period is absolutely
Tempting!
In addition, they can suppress their competitors as much as they want! Because selling illegal salt is a capital crime, not many people dare to do it. The few salt lords who dare to do it are openly suppressed by senior officials like Mr. Zhang, which is simply a joy! The only one
A powerful lord with the surname Wei secretly relied on a military commander from the imperial court to back him up. He was also accused of treason by Mr. Zhang and was thrown into prison.
No future trouble! After all, Mr. Zhang is not fighting alone! Back then, they were a group of people who came to Shu with hundreds of millions of assets and worked deeply in the government and the public of Shu for nearly thirty years. How could these upstarts be able to
Shocking? It turns out that the reason why I didn't move you is because the benefits are not big enough and I am not willing to spend a lot of money to get you! Now the benefits are so big, why don't I kill you and let you grab your own business?
In addition to selling private salt, he also sells iron tools and war horses!
They imported war horses from Khitan and sold them to the former Southern Tang, Southern Han, Wuyue, including the Song Dynasty. They also purchased ironware from the Song Dynasty and other dynasties and sold them to Khitan and other countries to earn the price difference!
Nowadays, these dynasties in the Central Plains have basically been annexed by the Song Dynasty. The demand for iron tools and war horses has obviously dropped than before, but they have taken precautions to open up the Xixia market in advance, and have even established contacts with the countries in the Western Regions. The business network has begun to be completed.
!
Now that the Song Dynasty court has begun to rule Shu, it is said that one dynasty is an emperor and one courtier. The officials in the government are all Song people. Facing these new dignitaries, they have to consider the issue of reorganizing their management! I just don’t know what the appetite of these Song Dynasty officials is.
Big or small!
Liu Miezhou said: "It doesn't matter if you pay a large sum of money! Eat as much as you want and spit it out in the end! By the way, I heard that the situation in Northern Han Dynasty is unstable now?"
Master Zhang was startled, but unexpectedly he said: "There is also a new king over there who has ascended the throne, and his position is indeed unstable! Why do you ask this?"
Liu Miezhou's eyes shone with a strange light, and he said solemnly: "They are also members of my Liu family, I think..."
Master Zhang immediately shook his head and said: "No! If you go to Northern Han, you will never come back!"
Liu Mizhou frowned and said, "Why?"
Master Zhang said sincerely: "Don't you understand the principle that a mountain cannot tolerate two tigers?! If you go to Beihan, even a fool will know what you are going to do, and they will never give you a chance to leave alive!"
Liu Mizhou pondered: "If that's the case, I should go! If they have a solid foundation, what are they afraid of me for? This just shows that their hearts are unstable and their foundation is not solid! They have been looking forward to my bloodline orthodoxy!
"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Master Zhang said worriedly: "But after all, it is the territory laid down by our ancestors! What's more important is that we now have Khitan support behind us!"
Liu Mizhou thought it didn't matter, and said proudly: "The Khitan's support is just to use Han to control Han. He doesn't care who the Han in the Northern Han palace is! If the emperor of Northern Han is replaced by me, they will definitely Turn around and support me, do you believe it?"
Mr. Zhang recalled the past.
In the third year of Qianyou's reign, Liu Chengyou, Emperor Yin of the Later Han Dynasty, was suspicious of the general Guo Wei and slaughtered all his family members who had stayed in the capital. He also sent experts to assassinate Guo Wei who was leading troops to fight outside! He never thought that the assassin had been greatly favored by Guo Wei and actually took matters into his own hands. The whole story was revealed to Guo Wei! According to some people later, it was said that Guo Wei had no ambition to be the emperor, but was forced to rebel by Emperor Yin of the Han Dynasty!
Guo Wei finally raised troops in Yedu. On November 21 of the same year, Emperor Yin was killed, and Guo Wei proclaimed himself emperor and established the Later Zhou Dynasty.
The younger brother of Liu Zhiyuan, the founder of the Later Han Dynasty, and the governor of Hedong Province, Taiyuan Yin Liu Chong learned the news and immediately took control of the twelve states of Hedong and proclaimed himself emperor. He still used the Qianyou reign name of the Later Han Dynasty. Because there was also the Liu Han regime in Lingnan at that time, to distinguish it, people called it respectively For the Southern Han Dynasty and the Northern Han Dynasty.
Now that the Southern Han Dynasty has been destroyed, the Northern Han Dynasty seems to have further established the orthodox status of the Han royal family!
"Young Master, the current emperor of the Northern Han Dynasty is called Liu Jiyuan, so he should be your equal!"
"Humph, what kind of peer? He is Liu Jun's adopted son. He has no bloodline from my Liu family at all. With such an identity, he dares to steal the throne of my Liu family?"
"What did you say? He is Liu Jun's adopted son? How did you know that?"
"I have a friend who is the deputy commander-in-chief of the Imperial City Division of the Song Dynasty. Can his source of information be false?"
Once he and Feng Jiuxiao were chatting about the relationship between the Southern Han and Northern Han Dynasties, and they accidentally mentioned something about Liu Jun, the emperor of the Northern Han Dynasty at that time. The reason why he mentioned him was because Liu Jun was very unlucky and had no heirs! He actually had no heirs. I have a nephew named Liu Jien and an adopted son named Liu Jiyuan.
It is said that Liu Jun died at the hands of Liancheng, who actually served as emperor for a short period of time in the Northern Han Dynasty.
Later Liancheng died and Liu Jien succeeded him as emperor.
Unexpectedly, Liu Jien died in just a few days.
But now for Liu Mizhou, everything is just right!
"I don't believe it. How can an adopted son from a side branch compete for the throne of the Han Dynasty with my orthodox bloodline?"
Master Zhang pondered for a moment, "If the news is true, then our chances of winning will be even greater! Without further ado, I will contact Master Li and the others!"
Liu Miezhou said: "You first inform everyone to gather at the border of Northern Han Dynasty and wait for my order to enter the city at any time! At that time, we will use Jinyang as the land of dragon prosperity and conquer the world!"
Master Zhang said: "Young Master, do you mean to go into the city yourself?"
Liu Miezhou said: "It is easy for me to sneak in alone. When the time comes, I will act according to the opportunity and kill a few city guards with ease! Don't forget, I am one of the top ten masters in the world of Shu!"
Mr. Zhang did not dare to disagree: "The son of a rich man cannot sit down in court. How can you take risks now that you have a body of ten thousand gold?"
Liu Miezhou showed determination on his face, "If you don't succeed, you will be benevolent! Stop trying to persuade me!" But he was thinking in his heart: If I can't even save my wife, then how can I have the dignity to live in this world?
Mr. Zhang thought for a while and felt that he really didn't know how to refute, so he said: "Okay, we will split up and wait for your order! Then the secret communication method between us will be implemented as previously agreed?"
Liu Miezhou said: "Okay!"
"There are quite a lot of those symbols, young master, do you still remember them?"
"Well, remember. Don't worry, as long as I see those symbols, I will know what they mean, and I have been practicing drawing symbols to ensure that you can also understand what I draw!
"Okay, then I'll take action first!"
"Um!"
The sun rose in the east, and the sky was bright. The gate of the Song Dynasty Palace opened, and Li Tianjun, dressed in brocade clothes, hurriedly walked out, holding the testimony in his hand, ready to go straight to the Jin Palace. Before midnight, five imperial doctors came to rush for him.
He confessed. If he didn't, life would be worse than death. This Li Tianjun is simply inhuman and his methods are too cruel!
In fact, after the first round of torture to extract confessions, more than 40 imperial doctors stood firm, and not one of them confessed!
But when Li Tianjun said that he would go back and forth for dozens of rounds tonight, the five imperial doctors confessed on the spot! If they didn't confess, they might not be able to survive tonight, and being fucked by Li Tianjun would make life worse than death!
They are afraid of death, they are afraid of pain, and they are even more afraid of death!
When Zhao Guangyi saw that there were actually five confessions, he couldn't believe it!
He knew that someone would definitely confess, and he believed in Li Tianjun's methods. But he didn't expect that five people would confess. This shows how vicious Li Tianjun's methods are! But if this knife is used well, it can have an immeasurable effect.
function!
“Well done!”
"Thank you for the compliment, Your Highness!"
"Although those five imperial doctors have all admitted that they were negligent in dispensing medicine, they definitely have no malicious intent, so put them in jail and let them go after a few years!"
"Your Highness is truly a benevolent and righteous king!"
"Stop talking nonsense!"
"yes!"
"By the way, if I don't kill these five people, will others think I'm weak? If I don't even kill the murderer who killed the emperor, will it inspire others' courage? Will it cause other people to misunderstand and cause unnecessary problems?
The trouble?"
"Your Highness, I feel that these five people cannot be let go! Only by killing them can we maintain His Highness's authority!"
"But I can't do it!"
"Your Highness, don't you still have me here?" Li Tianjun bowed and lowered his voice.
Zhao Guangyi was very satisfied with his performance, but he remained calm and said calmly: "If you take action, doesn't it mean that the Imperial City Secretary has taken action? Or will there be millions of misunderstandings?"
Li Tianjun whispered: "Your Highness, I said I would handle it, but I didn't say I would handle it as the Imperial City Secretary."
"Oh?" Zhao Guangyi's eyes flashed, "Then in whose name are you doing it?"
There was a hint of cunning in Li Tianjun's eyes, "Of course only bandits can do this kind of thing."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Zhao Guangyi did not ask any more questions and nodded.
The five imperial doctors were exiled home, and then sent to rob and kill them on the way, again passing the blame on to the bandits.
What a great idea, there’s a reward!
On the top of Shushan Mountain, a rising sun is about to rise from the horizon.
Eight people stood on the edge of the cliff, admiring the sunrise together.
Feng Jiuxiao said: "Let's go down the mountain after watching the sunrise! Go to Qinghai Lake!"
Zeng Yong and others replied one after another: "Okay! Okay! Okay!"
At this time, on an official road leading to the north, Liu Mizhou was riding a big maroon horse, looking very leisurely.
The morning sun has not yet shown its face, the air is a bit cool in the morning, and there are almost no pedestrians on the road.
When we arrived in Chengdu again, the gatekeepers were all Song troops, and many people knew him. He was a friend of the deputy commander-in-chief Sifeng of the imperial city, a master with four swords hanging from his waist. He accompanied the army on the westward expedition and helped General Wang defeat the enemy.
Chengdu, who doesn’t know this?
So Liu Mizhou crossed the city easily.
By the time General Wang found out, Liu Mizhou had already left for a while.
Wang Quanbin immediately scolded several city guards!
What a great opportunity it was to deepen our relationship with Deputy Commander Feng's brother, and it was wasted like this!
At this time, he had been regretting that he had missed the opportunity to entertain Liu Mizhou, but he still didn't know that several important things happened last night.
First, several imperial doctors made mistakes in dispensing medicine, which led to the death of Emperor Song. He would receive this news in two days.
The second is that Mr. Liu he missed, his true identity is the royal family of the Later Han Dynasty. He had decided last night to launch the great cause of restoring the country. He will receive this news in a month or a few months.
Third, the deputy envoy whom he admires most has decided to go to Qinghai Lake last night. Qinghai Lake is the territory of Tubo. Tubo is also a strong enemy of the Song Dynasty. He will also get this news soon.
