Chapter 1064: Suppression and alienation
When Zhao Hongrun said these four words in his mouth, about 70% of the guests in the hall suddenly subconsciously held their breath and their heartbeats also started to be beating violently.
For example, "Tao Ji, the Ministry of War, the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Rites, Zhou Yu, and other officials in the court came to the banquet this time to express their support for the thoughts of King Qing Zhao Hongxin, or whether King Qing Zhao Hongxuan attempted to use today to reach an agreement with the power of the princes and princes present to attack King Yong Hongyu, these are just the addition of this banquet.
What is the real main course? That is the interest division of the fat meat "Hedong Si Ling".
Whether one can control the four cities of Beiqu, Fenyin, Pi and Puban will determine the huge profits in Hexi in the future - Hexi Qiang and Hu, which are foreign tribes with a scale of no less than that of the Yinrong of Sanchuan. This means that the tribes of Sanchuan own how many livestock they have, and the Qiang and Hu of Hexi also own how many livestock they have.
How many livestock do the tribes of Sanchuan have?
The Chuanluo Alliance alone has a flock of millions of sheep, not including the "Zhi Tribe", "Jie Tribe", "Ling Tribe" and the "Wuxu Tribe" where the royal court is located.
Moreover, livestock is only one aspect of this wealth, and there is another huge profit that cannot be ignored: slaves.
In fact, the Wei State has always avoided slaves and slave labor, but it is undeniable that using slaves and slave labor is much more cost-effective than hiring civilians in the country.
If you hire a civilian in your country, you not only have to pay wages on a normal basis, but you have to pay pensions if you suffer a work-related injury, otherwise you will be targeted by the Ministry of Justice and the Censor; but if you hire a slave, just be full. Even if the slave workers die for various reasons, you don’t have to worry about pensions.
For this reason, the major projects in Wei State presided over by the Ministry of Works are actually slave work as the main labor force. Otherwise, it will be entirely dependent on hiring civilians or requisitioning prisoners (prisoners), so how can we meet the huge labor gap in Wei State?
You should know that a certain Highness, King Su, will soon jointly launch an unprecedented "century-year project" with the Ministry of Works - to build a national official road, so that all major roads can be connected to the beams, and comprehensively improve the road conditions of the Wei State.
What is the "Ten-Year Project of Bolangsha River Port" and the "Five-Year Project of Liangluqunqu" and this "Centenary Project" must be nothing more than a witch.
Therefore, it is conceivable how serious the labor gap in Wei State is, or just talking about the gap in slave labor.
In this case, plundering the people of Qiang and Hu in Hexi became the second source of profit for profits in the domestic nobles of Wei, besides looting the huge livestock in Hexi.
Even some people are ready to fight this and are impatient - when a certain King Su went to Sanchuan, those people missed this bloody opportunity to make profits, and now, the fat lamb of Hexi Qiang and Hu appeared again, how could they miss it?
As the saying goes, profit is ignorant. Under the temptation of huge profits, many princes and nobles in Wei State once again heard the news and joined forces to join forces. If a certain prince Su blocked their way to make money again, then they would not hesitate to repeat the events of the Sanchuan trade in the first place and unite to force the prince Su to compromise.
King Qing Zhao Hongxin was the spokesperson they found after being politely rejected by King Yong Hongyu. For the huge profits of the Hexi land, they will spare no effort to support King Qing Zhao Hongxin, bring down King Yong, and make King Su surrender.
But unexpectedly, King Su Zhao Hongrun today told the matter out in front of everyone, which made the kings and princes present feel a little confused and confused before they could predict it.
"What does King Su... mean?"
Many kings and princes present could not see through it, so that within a dozen breaths, the hall was still very quiet, and the needle could be heard.
However, Zhao Hongrun ignored these people and poured a glass of wine for himself and sipped it one by one.
Seeing this, King Qing Zhao Hongxin frowned, after thinking for a while, he smiled and said, "How come Hongrun suddenly mentioned this?"
Hearing this, Zhao Hongrun turned his head and looked at King Qing Hongxin, and said with a smile: "Brother Five Kings, I don't know. When I was in Fenyin, I heard that there were restless guys in China who tried to unite and threaten me, and force me to compromise on this..."
"Yes, is this happening?" King Qing Zhao Hongxin said embarrassedly.
At this time, Zhao Hongrun stared at King Qing and whispered: "It is said that Brother Five Kings is also involved?"
"..." King Hongxin of Qing opened his mouth, but before he could speak, he suddenly saw Zhao Hongrun laughing: "Of course, I believe that the fifth brother must have nothing to do with this matter. After all, if you and my brother are in a fight, why should you get the opposite? My father said that I have a bad temper, and I admit that I can't stand some people asking or asking, and just pick up meat from my bowl and eat it... I think so, I will take what I give you; don't stretch out my hand if I don't give you... This is good for each other. Otherwise, I would rather smash the bowl in my hand than chop these guys with the bowl!"
Listening to Zhao Hongrunyi's words, King Qing's face twitched and made a gesture that seemed to be trying to take it out several times, but in the end he still endured it and laughed dryly.
I have to say that at this moment, King Qing Hongxin felt very angry. He would not hear Zhao Hongrun's warning like a slander.
For a moment, King Qing Hongxin wanted to stand up, kicked the desk in front of him, grabbed the neck of the eighth brother beside him, and scolded him angrily.
But reason told him that as long as he dared to have an attack, the eighth brother around him would probably have a case faster than him. The other party was clearly here to find fault and demonstrate today!
『…』
King Qing Hongxin looked back at the twenty people behind Zhao Hongrun.
He naturally recognized the nine generals including Wei Jiao. Yan Mo and Zhao Hongxin, the deputy general of Yanling Army, also recognized them, and knew that they were a general with both wisdom and courage.
The remaining ten Yanling soldiers, all of whom were strong and powerful, with a tiger-backed and bear-beared waist, saw these ten soldiers standing straight, with cold expressions like dead men, and their faces, arms and other exposed skin were more or less streaked scars as thick as fingers, like centipedes.
Judging from the armor on their bodies, these ten Yanling soldiers should be all 500 generals, that is, the brave soldiers who charge on the front line of the battlefield every time they are in war - such brave soldiers who are born and die may be stronger than the pampered sect guards.
Seeing these people holding the hilts in their hands, expressionless, even though King Qing Hongxin believed in his heart that Zhao Hongrun would never dare to call these people here to commit crimes, he was still a little scared in his heart.
"Brother Five Kings, do you think this is the reason?"
Zhao Hongrun turned his head and looked at King Qing and Hongxin, completely seeing the color change of the latter's face.
At this moment, in a corner that Zhao Hongrun could not see, King Qing clenched his fists tightly, but he still forced a smile on his face and said in agreement: "Yes, what Hongrun said is very..."
Hearing this, Zhao Hongrun changed his mind and suddenly stared at King Qing with a blank expression: "Since Brother Fifth King also agrees with the truth I am talking about, why do you still have to build momentum to force me?"
King Qing Hongxin's expression changed suddenly when he heard this. When he thought Zhao Hongrun was about to break up with him, he saw the latter laughing and said, "Just just kidding, why do you have this expression for Brother Five?... I have heard of those hearsays. I believe that this matter must have nothing to do with Brother Five, right?"
King Qing Hongxin opened his mouth and couldn't react. After a while, he said, "Damn, of course... How could it be unfavorable to Hongrun for brother?"
"As long as it's not Brother Five." Zhao Hongrun breathed a sigh of relief, then glanced at the many guests in the hall, and said with a chuckle: "I believe Brother Five Kings must have nothing to do with this matter. I guess Brother Five Kings must have been instigated by some people!... Brother Five Kings, wait a moment, I guess among these people, there must be people who want to alienate you and my brotherly relationship."
As he said that, without waiting for King Qing Hongxin to react, he stared at the many princes present with a cold expression and said lightly: "Why don't you all speak?... As far as I know, don't you all want to talk about the "Four Orders of Hedong"? Why not speak it openly in front of me?!"
However, in response to Zhao Hongrun, there was still a silence.
Seeing this, Zhao Hongrun chuckled and said, "Everyone, don't say that I didn't give you a chance...If you want to talk about the Four Orders of Hedong, then, the King of Japan will talk to you today. If you miss today, there will be no chance..."
Hearing this, the guests present looked at each other.
Suddenly, a bearded nobleman who seemed to be in his thirties or forties asked calmly: "I don't know how to talk about it?"
Hearing this, Zhao Hongrun's eyes immediately turned to the man and asked, "Who are you?"
I saw the man sitting in it and bowing to Zhao Hongrun, and bowing humbly, saying, "Little Hou Nai Yuanling Uncle Feng."
"Oh." Zhao Hongrun nodded suddenly, looked at the other party and said lightly: "It turns out to be the Marquis of Yuanling... Beiqu, Fenyin, Pi, Puban, these four cities, which one does Junhou like?"
"This Zhao Run...what does he mean?"
When Mr. Feng heard this, Yuan Ling was stunned and did not reply immediately. Instead, he guessed the meaning of Zhao Hongrun's words in his heart.
However, Zhao Hongrun seemed a little impatient and frowned and said, "Marquis Yuanling, I am still waiting."
Seeing this, Uncle Feng, the Marquis of Yuanling, quickly apologized and said, "Your Highness, how dare you ask for it? But the Marquis has a nephew who is familiar with military books and skilled in martial arts. He hopes to recommend it to King Su... The Marquis believes that this son will not disappoint His Highness, and will definitely be the lieutenant of the garrison."
"Oh." Zhao Hongrun nodded and asked, "What is the name of Junhou's nephew?"
"Called is Chen Zhi." I don't know what I thought of, but Uncle Feng, the face of Yuanling Hou, showed a smile and said quickly.
"Oh." Zhao Hongrun nodded in a clear way and asked again: "Dare you ask Junhou, what kind of Junhou's nephew has Junhou's nephew, and what achievements are?"
"This." Uncle Feng, the Marquis of Yuanling, hesitated for a moment, shook his head and said, "For the time being... there is no more."
Hearing this, Zhao Hongrun showed a embarrassed expression and shook his head and said, "This is not easy to deal with. There is no military merit or no achievements. I don't think my nephew is a suitable candidate. What's more..." Speaking of this, a little sarcastic sarcastic sarcastic sarcastic sarcastic sarcastic sarcastic sarcastic sarcastic sarcastic sarcastic sarcastic sarcastic sarcastic sarcastic sarcastic sarcastic sarcastic sarcastic sarcastic sarcastic sarcastic sarcastic sarcastic sarcastic sarcastic sarcastic sarcastic sarcastic sarcastic sarcastic sarcastic sarcastic sarcastic sarcastic sarcastic sarcastic sarcastic sarcastic sarcastic sarcastic sarcastic sarcastic sarcastic sarcastic sarcastic sarcastic sarcastic sarcastic sarcastic sarcastic sarcastic sarcastic sarcastic sarcastic sarcastic sarcastic sarcastic sarcastic sarcastic sarcastic sarcastic sarcastic sarcastic sarcastic sarcastic sarcastic sarcastic sarcastic sarcastic sarcastic sarcastic sarcastic sarcastic sarcastic sarcastic sarcastic sarcastic sarcastic sarcastic sarcastic sarcastic sarcastic sarcastic sarcastic sarcastic sarcastic sarcastic sarcastic s
Such naked ridicule made Uncle Feng's expression suddenly sink: "What does Your Highness Su mean by this? Does Your Highness Su want to humiliate the little Hou?"
"You misunderstood." Zhao Hongrun shook his head and said seriously: "I am not saying that you are not qualified. I am saying that most people in the hall do not have this qualification!"
