"Your Highness, this is for Chai Lingwu in Cangzhou. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info," Wang Shijie said solemnly.

Xiao Ming frowned, he thought that this was an ordinary horse smuggling, but Wang Shijie pointed out that there was a problem with Chai Lingwu, thinking that this Chai Lingwu was the son-in-law of the Qin family.

However, what he really cares about now is not the fight between the Wang family and the Qin family, but the matter of the smuggling of horses by the King of Wei. If so, this person is a ticking time bomb and must be replaced.

This is by no means what Xiao Ming thinks too much, the position of Cangzhou Thorn History is very important, and now the battle for the throne in Dayu is becoming more and more fierce, according to his judgment, if the crown prince is deposed, it will inevitably cause some turmoil at that time.

At that time, anyone could be his enemy.

Therefore, it is not important for the King of Wei to smuggle horses through the merchants of Cangzhou, the Great Chongqing State lacks horses, and many other powerful people in the Great Chongqing Kingdom buy horses from the grassland in private, and the King of Wei is not a special case, and he himself also wants to smuggle horses from the grassland to buy cavalry.

And Chai Lingwu did not go through himself, but secretly communicated directly with King Wei in private, which is a problem.

I have to say that this time Wang Chengchou really caught Xiao Ming's death hole, and no vassal king can tolerate a person who eats inside and outside.

"Your Highness?" Seeing that Xiao Ming was deep in thought, Wang Shijie reminded him again.

Xiao Ming came back to his senses, "Thank you Shijie for reminding me, this king doesn't know that there are such evil intentions in Cangzhou's important land, and this king has his own plans for this matter, and he will give the Wang family a credit." “

"Your Highness is polite, as a citizen of His Highness's fiefdom, he should think about what His Highness thinks." Wang Shijie said with a smile, extremely proud in his heart, now he wants to see how the Qin family takes over.

In order to squeeze foreign merchants, the Wang family, the Sun family, the Wei family, and the Qin family jointly bought Chang'an's soap, perfume, and the right to operate in Zuiqingzhou, of course, they could take it, and a large part of it was other merchants who gave Xiao Ming face.

But although the four companies are doing business together, the contradictions inside still cannot be reconciled, and Li Kaiyuan told him that because of the question of who has more goods and who has less, the four families often argue.

Seeing Wang Shijie away, Xiao Ming called Pang Yukun to the palace and told him about it.

Pang Yukun pondered for a long time and said, "Your Highness, the opportunity to clear the foundation of the local wealthy clan from the official mansion has come. “

"Pang Changenvoy and I thought about it together, but if Chai Lingwu is won, who can be the assassin of Cangzhou." Xiao Ming said.

"If His Highness believes in the lower officials, I can recommend a few people, they are all from poor families, although they are famous, but the officialdom is dark, hey......"

Xiao Ming understood what Pang Yukun meant, that is, these people did not pass the survey when they were surveyed, and now they do not have a half-official position.

Compared with these four, Xiao Ming believes in Pang Yukun more, even if these people form friends with Pang Yukun in the future, it will only be officialdom, but the four families have people in the six states who occupy important military and political positions, which is what Xiao Ming is afraid of.

It is precisely because of this that he will tolerate the four families so much.

And if he rashly clears up the power of the four families in the official government, the four families will inevitably rebound, and the fiefdom will definitely be in chaos at that time, and now that the Wang family and the Qin family are fighting each other, he can use this opportunity to take out these officials in important positions.

At the same time, it can also exacerbate the conflict between the two families.

"Although Pang Changshi recommended it, this king is now eager to seek talents, and I only hope that there will be people who can give advice to this king, and I have endured it for five years, just to get rid of the four evils of this fiefdom." Xiao Ming gritted his teeth and said.

Pang Yukun nodded, "Since that's the case, I'll send a letter and ask them to come to Qingzhou." ”

"Well, Chai Lingwu's matter is put on hold for the time being, and as soon as they arrive, this king will order Lu Fei to take Chai Lingwu down." Xiao Ming said.

"Captain Lu is out of the horse?" Pang Yukun was a little surprised.

"Cangzhou was lost three years ago, and they all fled because the guards abandoned the city, and now there is no news of Cangzhou's smuggling of horses, whether it is Chai Lingwu or Cangzhou Governor Yuan Tao."

"Your Highness means that the two of them are fornicating?" Pang Yukun's face changed.

"Exactly." Xiao Ming said that this is a barbaric era, and it is also a very stream. The age of hooligans.

He couldn't help but beware of Chai Lingwu and Yuan Tao jumping over the wall and rebelling when they learned that they were going to cut off their heads, and if they colluded with the barbarians again at that time and led the barbarians into the country, he would be completely finished.

Pang Yukun thought for a while and understood, he said: "Your Highness is far-reaching, and your subordinates admire it. “

Xiao Ming was happy and said, "Pang Changshi will praise me." ”

"No, the scholar should be impressed every other day, and he is talking about His Royal Highness, and the lower official has retired." Pang Yukun smiled bitterly.

At this time, twilight had already shrouded the palace, and the family was lighting the red lanterns in the palace one by one.

In the past, the silver in the palace was embarrassed, and Xiao Ming didn't dare to waste it, so the palace was always dark, and now he asked Aster to buy a lantern, placed a candle in it, and inserted a bamboo pole along the road to hang the lantern.

In this way, the style of the palace has finally been raised.

At the same time, it also gave him a sense of security, no way, he was afraid of the dark, and in this way, the security was also high, if an assassin came in, the guards of the palace could see it at a glance.

Turning around and going back to the dormitory, the green pothos had already prepared hot water for Xiao Ming, and he took a shower and went back to rest.

At this time, there is no longer the chill of winter, and the air seems to have a hint of warmth of spring.

Xiao Ming is afraid of the dark and the cold, thinking that spring is coming, there is always some expectation in his heart.

At that time, you can go out to the spring, go fishing, and enjoy the pristine scenery.

So half-dreaming and half-thinking all night, the next day, Xiao Ming took a morning class in the school in the morning, briefly taught the periodic table, and went to the instrument division in the afternoon.

"Your Highness, what kind of armor?" As soon as he arrived at the Equipment Division, Chen Qi asked anxiously.

He didn't get a good night's sleep that night.

"Plate Armor!" Xiao Ming said.

As a plate armor that was eliminated by firearms as soon as it appeared, it has not existed for a long time in history, but its combination of protection and mobility is excellent, especially for soldiers armed with swords, a soldier wearing plate armor is a nightmare.

Because this armor is almost all-round defense against slashing.

Now Xiao Ming wants to make this kind of armor, of course, not to defend against firearms, because in the era of firearms, armor is not needed.

These plate armor were only used to deal with the army and barbarian cavalry in Dayu, because of the excellent protection of the plate armor, it could effectively resist swords and bows and arrows.

"Plate armor?" Chen Qi looked dazed.

"But before we can do that, we need one more thing, a hydraulic hammer." Xiao Ming said, this is the reason why he chose plate armor, scale armor, armor these things are very troublesome to manufacture, and he has to equip his army with all the equipment I don't know what year and month.

But as long as the hydraulic forging hammer is produced, he can mass-produce plate armor and equip the army on a large scale, after all, steel is his advantage.
