"Your Majesty, as far as I know, a few months ago, several great families in Jiangnan brought dozens of large wooden boxes to Beijing, using more than 20 large carriages, but did not take these boxes with them on the return trip.
Based on the weight of the boxes, your subordinates speculated that they were filled with gold and silver."
Reported by Cao Zhengchun.
The gold and silver loaded on the 20 carriages, in boxes, were at least tens of thousands of taels per box. If it was gold, the value would be even higher.
Even Emperor Wu could not hide his excitement, as he was in urgent need of funds.
"Which house did these boxes end up in?"
Emperor Wu asked.
"The East Factory and the house of Zhang Daxueshi!"
The answer was revealed.
"Plop!"
With a muffled sound, someone fell to his knees.
Cao Zhengchun almost swore, as Zhu Wusi's blow was fatal to him.
The Emperor was furious at the moment. Those noble families were slaughtered. Although the direct target was Su Chen, those who secretly protected him could not get away with it easily.
Betraying the country for personal gain, whose kingdom are you betraying?
"Your Majesty, I am innocent! I have never touched that memorial."
Cao Zhengchun hurriedly explained.
Cao Zhengchun knew very well which things should be held tightly and which things could be put aside temporarily.
His first task was not to evade responsibility, but to try to reduce the responsibility to the minimum.
"The emperor's uncle said that the Jiangnan noble family sent you a few boxes. Is this true?"
The Emperor asked.
"It is true that several families in Jiangnan sent me some boxes and crates. They claim that they are local specialties. I have not opened them yet. I will send someone to present those specialties to the emperor immediately."
Cao Zhengchun responded, trying to get away with it.
When everyone heard this, they all knew that this was a perfunctory answer, which was simply speechless.
Not to mention the heavy weight of those boxes, just talking about taking money to do things, no one is an ignorant child.
However, Emperor Wu did not seem to delve into it, and only nodded slightly in approval.
As for Zhang Daxueshi, he would naturally be dealt with by the Six Gates, the Shenhou Mansion and the Jinyiwei. After all, the Zhang family is only a branch of Jinling, and Zhang Daxueshi has limited power in Beijing.
"What a wandering figure!"
Emperor Wu glanced at Zhu Wushi and Zhuge Zhengwo, and was obviously very dissatisfied with Su Chen's rebellious behavior and wanted to get rid of him.
Su Chen was also worried about this matter earlier and thought about it repeatedly.
But later he figured it out - in this martial arts world, his second uncle is the demon god Su Zhong, and he is the top master in the martial arts world, what is there to be afraid of?
On the contrary, the emperor is probably more afraid of death.
Therefore, he does not need to worry about anything. As long as he is still alive, no one dares to touch his Bashu Su family.
What's more, after Su Hao took the Chizhu, he will be promoted to a grandmaster in no time.
Su Chenxue is young but has deep internal strength. With the help of the power of the Chizhu, he will surely become a first-class master, and everything will go smoothly.
In this case, what else does he have to worry about? Even ifYes, does Emperor Wu really dare to perish together with his enemies?
"Your Majesty, we can't deal with him. Even the hidden master in the palace may not be able to compete with him.
What's more, he has the support of the Bashu Su family behind him."
"The Bashu Su family?"
Emperor Wu certainly knew the influence of this family. With a thousand-year family business and generations of virtue, their position in Bashu is very important.
A slight move will win the hearts of the people of Bashu, and even if an uprising occurs, it is very likely that tens of thousands of people will respond.
However, Emperor Wu paid more attention to what Zhu Wusi mentioned before, that they could not match Su Chen, and even the master guarding the palace had less than a 90% chance of winning.
This "90%"
is undoubtedly a statement to save the face of the master.
"Is this person really so tyrannical?"
Emperor Wu asked again.
"He can travel thirty miles on the waves. Even if there are 100,000 imperial guards and 3,000 elite Jinyiwei, it is difficult to stop him.
Besides, he is still young. Once he hides and practices for another seven or eight years, then..."
If Su Chen cannot be completely eradicated at once, he will become an indelible nightmare for the royal family. Even for him as an emperor, he may be beheaded in his sleep.
"What a young hero of the Su family, his reputation is well-deserved!"
The bloody case in Jiangnan shocked the whole country, but Su Chen did not choose to hide, and there was no need to hide his whereabouts.
Everyone is not stupid, and they can lock his figure with a little investigation.
But the key is that without evidence, who can do anything to him? Even if there is evidence, what can be done?
Colluding with Japanese pirates, the evidence is overwhelming, and he deserves to die!
"Old Duke, are you really going to meet him?"
This square-faced guard leader was once a brave and combative vanguard general. Now his cultivation has reached the peak of horizontal training and he has a high status in the Xu family.
Even so, facing the mysterious young man of the Su family, the guard leader still couldn't help showing a trace of worry.
Martial arts master! Especially the "unparalleled sword light" of the Su family, facing such a unique skill, the defense of ordinary horizontal training masters is as fragile as thin paper.
The old Duke is the direct descendant of the Xu family and the spiritual pillar of the family. Even the powerful Zhongshan King Xu Longhu has to be respectful in front of him.
The Xu family once had two shining stars, kings and dukes standing side by side, and powerful all over the world.
At first, the old Duke did not pay special attention to the group of heroes who fought against the Japanese pirates. After all, the Xu family has guarded the border for generations, and thousands of warriors under their command have sacrificed their lives for the country every year. This honor is enough to make them stand out from the crowd.
Their contributions are equal and equally great.
However, even the old Duke could not help but be moved by the strength that Su Chen showed overnight.
After further understanding the situation, he praised Su Chen even more and regarded him as a rare general.
It is difficult to find a good general, but it is easy to get thousands of troops, but it is difficult to find a general.
Especially the young man who is favored by this old general will definitely be a pillar of the country in the future.
"Haha, this young man is actually very easy to get along with.
MoreThe Su family of Bashu has accumulated good deeds for thousands of years. Although this young man is resolute, the Su family is far superior to those aristocratic families with only a scholarly heritage in terms of moral education. It is not as dangerous as you think. "
"But..."
"There is no but. Believe me, I will not be wrong in judging people. ”
The old man smiled confidently. He knew that the Su family was more respected in his heart than those Jiangnan families.
The Xu family was a military family, and the Su family was a Jianghu family.
In the eyes of the old man, the two families were of equal status.
One family defended the border for generations, and the other family benefited Sichuan and Shu for generations, unlike some Jiangnan families who sucked the marrow and bones and were greedy.
Su Chen was able to stand up and defend the town of Kezhou when the heroes retreated, showing his unswerving sense of responsibility and spirit of responsibility.
Otherwise, those Jianghu knights would often only "kill the enemy but not deal with the aftermath", which was not their strong point.
Miss Shangguan, from now on, this place is fully entrusted to you. I give it to you. I believe you can manage it properly.
Regarding the gold and silver treasures, I have informed the Wan family and the Hua family that they will all be used to expand the treasure ship fleet, leaving only about 300,000 taels of silver for you to dispatch and use.
The turmoil in Kezhou Town is about to come to an end.
By punishing a group of people, it is enough to make the families in Jiangnan feel timid. I believe they dare not have any improper thoughts about Kezhou Town.
As for the real gold and silver, Su Chen did not hesitate to invest it in the lucrative maritime trade. This is a wise move to snowball wealth.
A total of about 15 million taels of gold and silver, enough to build at least 150 top-class treasure ships.
Compared to the luxurious lineup of Zheng He's voyage to the West, this is even better.
At that time, most of them were large Fu ships, and real treasure ships were rare.
And now, the number of treasure ships we are about to have is close to 200. Once they are made public, it will surely shock the court.
This is part of Su Chen's careful planning!
Even in the alliance information that Emperor Wu learned, there were only 20 treasure ships, and the share allocated to him was exactly the rights and interests corresponding to those 20 treasure ships.
The remaining more than 100 ships were distributed as follows:
The Su family, the Hua family, and the Wan family each got 10%, because this was a joint operation of the three families, and people Both physical and material resources have been invested;
Kezhou Town has a 10% share, and those martial artists also get 10%, but this is limited to profit sharing, they have no actual operating rights, and the three families have the right to adjust this part of the rights and interests at any time;
The remaining 50% is regarded as a public welfare reserve.
After all, this wealth comes from improper means, and we cannot justifiably divide it up.
Whether it is to build water conservancy projects or to provide disaster relief to the people, with the strength of our three families, as long as we don’t do something like Shen Wansan’s feat of losing everything, no one in Jiuzhou can compete with us.
Besides, the Hua family and the Wan family have always been kind and generous, and now it is a good opportunity to reap the fruits of others’ labor, which not only benefits them, but also canWin the praise of the people of Jiuzhou.
If you are too greedy, you will not only attract countless attention, but Su Chen himself will not let it go easily.
After seeing Su Chen's strength and deterrence, everyone is more unwilling to be his enemy.
"Does Su Shaoxia really intend to invest all the huge money in the construction of the treasure ship? Is it too much?"
"Why is it too much? I'm afraid that in the eyes of Miss Shangguan, this investment is not enough."
Shangguan Haitang may not have fully understood the huge benefits contained in it.
Within three years, the invested funds will not only be able to pay back, but the annual income will continue to rise.
0 ···Request flowers· ···
With such an explanation, coupled with the successful cases of the Hua family, the Wan family and the Jiangnan family, many people may believe it at once.
However, Shangguan Haitang is not like that. The more Su Chen elaborated, the more unbelievable she felt.
"Young Master Su, you seem to be quite keen on making money?"
"Why not? Although my martial arts are unique in the nine provinces, if I want to truly benefit the people, my strength alone is limited.
Just imagine, even if only 50% of the annual profit is used for local construction, it can build a 100-mile long dike, establish hundreds of private schools, and purchase food in southern Xinjiang that can feed millions of people for a year..."
Su Chen's words made Shangguan Haitang fall into deep thought.
These charitable actions that are common in later generations are at most the level of repairing bridges, repairing roads, providing relief to disaster victims, and providing porridge to relieve hunger in this era.
"Young Master Su is kind and righteous, which is admirable!"
"I admire Miss Shangguan's talent very much.
After the situation in Kezhou Town is completely stable, I am afraid I will need to ask Miss Shangguan to come out again.
After all, there are very few people who are worthy of my complete trust, especially when it comes to money, people's hearts are fickle."
Su Chen has absolute trust in Shangguan Haitang's talent.
Her feminine delicacy combined with her masculine decisiveness makes her a capable manager.
Before leaving, Su Chen gave Shangguan Haitang a handwritten version of the "Five Absolute Divine Skills" secret book.
Money does not have much appeal to her, but considering that Shangguan Haitang's martial arts are complicated, although she is far better than Princess Yunluo, it is inevitable that she will distract her attention.
....... 0 0
This "Five Absolute Divine Skills" is the key to helping her refine and sublimate her martial arts and enter the ranks of top masters.
Before the old Duke arrived, Su Chen had quietly left Kezhou Town with Liu Sheng Piao Xu.
At this moment, after a fierce killing, no one in Jiangnan dared to intervene in this matter.
I thought that my reputation as a "killer god" had spread among the families in Jiangnan, and I wondered if they would send experts to secretly kill me.
Thinking of this, Su Chen's mouth suddenly raised slightly, and he actually looked forward to such an encounter in his heart.
"Miss Piao Xu, you have been very good to me during this period."I will remember your care."
Su Chen was not a cold person. He could truly feel the care from the heart, not just the superficial feelings.
He firmly believed that no one in the world could act so flawlessly under his almost god-like insight.
Besides, Liu Sheng Piao Xu was indeed outstanding.
Regardless of her young age, she had the strength of a top master. Her appearance alone was enough to rank among the most beautiful in Kyushu.
She wore an elegant Japanese kimono, which was slightly unique in China, but not out of place.
And this kimono was worn by Liu Sheng Piao Xu. She looked even more charming and gentle, with a quiet and gentle temperament.
She had a slender figure, and even if she was wrapped in a loose and gorgeous kimono, it was still difficult to hide her slender waist and slender and straight legs, which made her even more eye-catching.
Standing behind Su Chen, she was only a head shorter than him. With her long black hair, elegant swan neck, delicate and flawless facial features, icy skin, and shy expression, she was charming and pure, making people unforgettable at first sight.
Even Liu Yiyi, Li Zhaoyang and others who had met before, Liu Sheng Piaoxu was slightly better in appearance.
"Piaoxu did this voluntarily."
"Voluntary, but I have nothing to repay you. ”
Su Chen’s words made Liu Sheng Piao Xu’s cheeks flushed, her heart beat fast, and her charming peach blossom eyes added a bit of affection and shyness.
Is this a love talk?
At this time, Su Chen took out a secret book and a pearl from his arms, and said calmly:
“Miss Piao Xu, I don’t have many things suitable for women. Here is a martial arts secret book and a martial arts treasure, the Hanpo Pearl. I hope they can add a little protection for you.”
“Piao Xu can’t be collected!”
Liu Sheng Piao Xu’s response interrupted the original subtle atmosphere, making the air a little quiet and realistic.
“Miss Piao Xu, don’t misunderstand. You took good care of me before, but I have complicated affairs in Kezhou Town and can’t repay you.
This secret book is called "Cause and Effect Transformation Secret", which is a Buddhist method, specially designed for women to defend themselves.
Stay with me, the world is unpredictable, and we don't know when we will face danger. You don't want me to be distracted by missing you, right?
As for this Hanpo Pearl, it is the only treasure suitable for women to wear. It has the effect of maintaining youth and helping to cultivate internal strength. ”
Keep youth forever? Even though Liu Sheng Piaoxu, as a warrior, has long been indifferent to life and death, he stared at the pearl with mysterious power in Su Chen's hand in disbelief.
