Chapter 746: Casting a Long Line to Catch a Big Fish

"Lu Yin?"

In the imperial study, Li Kaiyuan thought so he couldn't help nodding. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

With a bitter face, Li Kaiyuan continued: "Your Majesty, these businessmen really can't be too indulgent, businessmen are profit-seeking, and some businessmen who have no conscience dare to do anything. ”

"A scheming businessman?" Xiao Ming smiled, he said; "You're talking about the Cao family."

Li Kaiyuan seems to have endured the Cao family for a long time, and at this time, it seems that the resentment in his heart suddenly erupted, "Your Majesty, this is the Cao family, and now Cao Zhengyang actually wants to establish a business house with more than 100 businessmen, which 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's move is ill-intentioned, does the court still have to put up with him?"

Xiao Ming's eyes were a little gloomy, and he got up at this time to look at the peach blossoms that were blooming outside the window and said; "Cao Zhengyang's move is not suspected of violating the laws of the Great Chongqing Kingdom, since he has not violated the law, how should he punish the crime?"

Li Kaiyuan was stunned for a moment, and he said: "As long as the emperor says a word, ......" Speaking of this, Li Kaiyuan couldn't go on.

Xiao Ming laughed when he saw this, "You mean I can kill people at will?" If this is the case, how should the merchants and the common people of this Manchu Dynasty view me? ”

Li Kaiyuan scratched his head, he said; "It's true, it's a scary move."

"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 also know that now the Cao family is regarded as a guest of honor by the king of Chu, but now is not the time to deal with the Cao family for this king, and now this pig is not fat enough." Xiao Ming was very calm.

The Cao family had deep pockets, and now under his rule they had established seven mines, three textile mills and a fleet of ships at sea, and the Cao family was even more famous.

In addition to wanting the Cao family to establish more workshops in Liuzhou, there is also one thing that Li San found that the Cao family seems to have dealings with the missionaries, which makes him extremely vigilant.

Because he knew very well that the identity played by the missionaries of this era was not simple at all, he was ready to capture the old man and let Li San collect all the evidence before serving the Cao family.

At that time, the merchant will understand that if he gives them something, he will be able to get it back, and that it is okay to do business in peace, but there are some things that should not be thought about.

told Li Kaiyuan his thoughts, and then Li Kaiyuan was relieved.

Having said this, Xiao Ming continued; "But now, although the Cao family is not rectified, the Cao family can also be appropriately suppressed in trade, lest they make a mess of Qingzhou's commerce."

"Yes, Your Majesty, this time the lower officials will support the businessmen in the six states, and tighten up Cao Zhengyang's people, so as not to raise their tails high." Li Kaiyuan said.

Xiao Ming nodded, this is the purpose of him letting Li Kaiyuan come, in general, he wants to maintain a fight with a group of businessmen led by Cao Zhengyang, so that he can not only teach them some lessons, but also not affect the development of industry and commerce in Liuzhou.

Seeing Li Kaiyuan away, a spring thunder exploded outside, and a gentle drizzle drifted in the cloudy sky.

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

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

At this time, in the dormitory, the pothos was pacing with the crying Xiao Yi, while Zi Wan and Fei Yue'er were sitting on the chairs talking and laughing, while looking at the pothos holding Xiao Yi.

"It's all here today."

Before he arrived at the dormitory, Xiao Ming laughed out loud, he rarely encountered three people playing together.

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

"Your Majesty."

Seeing Xiao Ming, four crisp sounds sounded, and Cui Xue'er seemed to be a little uncomfortable when she entered the mansion late, and her face was flushed.

Since the pothos and aster were made nobles, they have become closer to Xiao Ming than before, after all, they have become Xiao Ming's concubines.

However, both of them are very self-conscious, never play right and wrong, do things to compete for favor, and never say who is wrong in front of him.

This made Xiao Ming very pleased.

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

Entering the dormitory, the pothos took the initiative to hug Xiao Yi to Xiao Ming's side, and at this time, Xiao Yi, who was puffing up, was looking at him with wide eyes, and his pure eyes did not contain a trace of impurities.

Seeing Xiao Ming, the little guy stretched out his calves and arms and moved, showing a smile, his mouth surging out and flowing down, and the pothos immediately took a handkerchief to wipe it when he saw this.

Looking at his son, Xiao Ming's heart warmed, the emperor is also a human being, and he also has his own seven emotions and six desires, and now, he suddenly understands Xiao Wenxuan a little.

They are all their own sons, although they have their own preferences, but they don't want to see them kill each other.

Xiao Yi is his first son, and he will not be the last, he does not want to see his son continue to fight for the throne.

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

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

Coming 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 dormitory today? ”

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

Xiao Ming nodded, and at this time he suddenly remembered that this Great Chongqing Kingdom seemed to have never added any items to entertainment in this era for so long.

Now that Fei Yue'er said this, he suddenly felt that he should also take some entertainment activities, after all, industry and commerce need to develop, and entertainment must also develop, so that they can complement each other.

Moreover, a few days ago, Yang Chengye said that foreign businessmen in Dengzhou often come to Dengzhou City to gamble, which also touched him a little.

If these foreign businessmen do not make money in vain, if they come up with some novel ways to play, they will definitely attract more businessmen to Dengzhou to have fun.

After all, gambling is not illegal in this era, and it is better to let the government standardize gambling houses than to let the people open gambling houses indiscriminately.

Thinking of this, he said to Fei Yue'er; "In that case, I'm going to give you something interesting to make sure you won't be bored for the rest of the year."

"Really? In this case, the concubines should see and learn. Fei Yue'er laughed.

Aster said: "The emperor is probably talking big, and I haven't seen the emperor and taught us anything fun all these years." ”
