There's a Space Man in the Village [Rebirth]

Chapter 138

Huo Chengyi did not expect that the effect of the 'compensation shelter for the families of soldiers' was far better than he imagined.

He originally just wanted to use this to make the Huo family and the business alliance gain a reputation among the common people, so that in the future, in the event of a situation where they would kill a donkey, there would also be a guarantee, a protection that would make the emperor worry.

But I really didn't expect that in the end, the people's admiration for their Huo family and the business alliance was beyond expectations.

This is a good thing and a bad thing.

It is naturally good for the people to protect them, but if they support them too much, the emperor will be afraid of the emperor.

The reason why the Seventh Prince was able to become the new emperor so smoothly was not the result of years of business reputation in the private sector.

For this reason, Huo Chengyi was both happy and worried.

There is nothing he can do now. He can only try to let the following people bring publicity to the court when they are fighting for the reputation of the business alliance, and must not let the emperor mistakenly think that he has evil intentions.

Fortunately, the new emperor is busy with the war and the exchange of blood among the courtiers and has no time to control him.

The battle of Zhao Lu continued.

With a steady stream of military reserve support, Zhao Jun has no worries, and is full of morale, and it is like a broken bamboo to capture one city after another in the Kingdom of Lu.

The Seventh Prince had obviously been preparing for this battle for many years, and even with the lengthening of the battle lines, Zhao Jun did not feel that he was struggling. Every time Jamida

captured a city, the imperial court would immediately send a civil servant to follow the past to preside over the construction and control of the town, in order to prevent the people from rioting and clean up the mess after the war.

Huo Chengyi knew all the news of the state of Lu through wireless telegraphy.

I have to admit that the Seventh Prince is really a born emperor, with great ambition and even more resolute means.

The battle of Zhao Lu lasted for three years. Three years later, the army of Zhao army came to the capital of the capital of the state of Lu, the emperor of Lu hanged himself in the palace, and the rest of the officials of the state of Lu surrendered.

Since then, the seven kingdoms have become six, and Nanlu has become history.

"Good news, our Zhao army has won, and Nanlu has surrendered!" The

results of the war were announced to the world, and the entire Zhao country fell into jubilation, tears welling up in their eyes.

The end of the war will bring good peace, and the hot-blooded men of the expedition will also return home for reunion.

"This battle is finally over..."

After the battle was over, the entire Huo family and the members of the business alliance lay down on the chairs and gasped.

In the past few years, the soldiers on the front line have fought bloody battles. They are also working hard to deliver military supplies. Everyone is busy like a top, and they are half tired.

Now that the battle is over, I can finally breathe a sigh of relief. If I get tired again, the people in their business alliance will die suddenly!

However, although it is tiring, it is also worthwhile. In the battle of Zhao Lu, their business alliance has made great efforts, and now His Majesty will definitely reward them.

"Chairman, we have made a great contribution to conquering the Lu Kingdom and our business alliance. How do you think Your Majesty will reward us?"

Silver merchants are not uncommon, and status is what merchants dream of.

The members of the business alliance are looking forward to it.

"This support operation has worked hard for everyone, and I will try my best to win benefits from Your Majesty, but I hope that members of our business alliance will remember the truth that greed is not enough to swallow an elephant, and step-by-step development is our ultimate goal... "

The original intention of the establishment of the business alliance was to hope that the world's businessmen would unite and help each other. The foundation of the business alliance is still shallow. I hope that the business alliance can exist forever, rather than disappearing with the change of dynasties."

When everyone was in full swing and happy, Huo Chengyi had to throw a pot of cold water on the black face to prevent the members of the business alliance from getting carried away.

In recent years, under his leadership, the business alliance has developed like a tiger and has a bright future.

But if everyone is too complacent and ignores the heart of the emperor, then everything is just a mirror image.

His intention to set up a business alliance was just to have a bigger bargaining chip to make life better for his family and to protect his little white and his two sons.

He just wants to make the business alliance an umbrella, not a sharp blade for power.

As long as this original intention remains unchanged, no matter how many dynasties change, the business alliance will always be a business alliance. Why bother throwing watermelons and picking up sesame seeds for the power of a dynasty.

Of course, this kind of forward thinking is not for everyone.

Power is a temptation that most people in the past and present cannot refuse. Therefore, although the members of the business alliance dare not speak, they are still somewhat dissatisfied and incomprehensible.

"I know that everyone can't understand and agree with these words now, so out of humane considerations, I will give you two choices. You can choose the word wealth and honor, or the same as before, and give me the answer in three days.

" What Huo Chengyi thought in his heart didn't explain too much to everyone.

Even if he said those ideas and ideas, these people may not understand, and if they understand, they may not necessarily agree with him.

But everything is not absolute, and the power is strong, but if you do it to the extreme, how can you know that nothing can surpass the power?

Another most important reason is that the foundation of the business alliance is too shallow, and it must move forward steadily...

The three-day time is to give the members of the business alliance a chance to choose life, and it is also the time for the business alliance to screen the crew.

Business alliances do not need members with different ideas, and they should be resolved as soon as possible.

People's hearts are different, and Huo Chengyi sighed after receiving the reply three days later.

One-third of the people in the business alliance could not resist the temptation of power and chose to disembark halfway.

In fact, this result is not unexpected. Scholars, farmers, industry and commerce, the ancient people respected status far more than modern people.

Water flows to low places, people go to high places, no one is to blame.

But that's okay, these people are gone, and the rest are absolutely loyal to the business alliance. Anyway, the business alliance is now limited to Zhao, and the people sent to the rest of the countries are all slaves in the valley.

Now the people that Shangmeng chose to leave have no influence on him.

Half a month after sorting out the list in hand and reporting the results of the battle report to the world, Huo Chengyi went to the capital alone with the father-in-law who passed the decree.

...

When the Seventh Prince ascended the throne, the ceremony was held very hastily because of the state of Lu.

Therefore, the celebration of conquering the state of Lu this time was very grand, and it was considered to make up for the hasty enthronement of the new emperor, and the Ministry of Rites to please the new emperor.

After three years of busy work, the entire Zhao Kingdom, whether it is a court official or a military general, is in the hands of the new emperor, and his power is solid.

All the rights are in his hands, and the Seventh Prince no longer has to hide things like he did before.

During the war, secret forces in his hands had slowly emerged, so this time, besides Huo Chengyi, there were many people who were not known before, but actually worked for him.

It was quite unusual for Huo Chengyi to get together with these people.

There are all kinds of people in it, but without exception, they all have special skills. It must be the staff of Huang Qi who has been visiting the people for many years.

Diving has been hidden for many years, and now the power of the new emperor is stable, and it is also a good day for these behind-the-scenes heroes.

Therefore, when they got together, everyone had a gratifying smile on their faces. Even if they didn't know each other, they chatted with each other very harmoniously.

Huo Chengyi has always been good at negotiating. In addition, he has done the most credit among his staff, so he gets along very well with everyone. When he walked to the foot of the capital, he was already commensurate with several brothers.

Gathering them together so blatantly, it seems that the Seventh Prince is still trustworthy and did not directly kill the donkey.

However, whether the reward for being summoned to the palace this time can be satisfactory is open to question.

Huo Chengyi pondered.

On the night he entered the palace, he was indeed summoned to the imperial study alone. Jamie

hasn't seen each other for a few years, and the seventh prince seems to be getting older. Also, there are many things that those in power have to worry about. In the past few years, it is not normal for Huang Qi not to work hard and have a few gray hairs.

"Young is good, look at you boy, it really hasn't changed at all over the past few years..." The

Seventh Prince's voice was still as warm as always, but with a little more majesty of an emperor.

Huo Chengyi grinned, still as sloppy as he used to be, flattering.

"Your Majesty, my son is seven years old, how can he not grow old? You wait, next year I will give you two white hairs to see."

Jamie

, "I'm seven years old? I heard that your husband gave birth to you. For twins, he is very smart, especially the younger brother, Yuxue is cute, the same age as my little emperor, it is a blessing to grow up..."

Huang Qi was dressed in a dragon robe, stroked his beard and smiled as kindly as the grandfather next door.

Huo Chengyi's heart sank when the words fell, and he secretly thought that this old fox wanted to hit his Baoer's attention!

In recent years, his support to the court can only be estimated by others, but Huang Qi is clear and the account book is real.

Those numbers are enough to make the other party look at him strictly.

Now that the war is over, anyway, he has two results: one is to be won over, and the other is to cook the cunning rabbit to death.

And marriage is a means used by the powerful to win over and cooperate.

If ordinary people knew that the emperor was interested in marrying, they would be happy to call their ancestors for blessing, but Huo Chengyi was different. He knew that power and wealth were difficult to mix.

Moreover, there were three wives and four concubines in ancient times, and the family of the emperor regarded marriage as a benefit, so he couldn't bear to be wronged after his Baoer got married in the future.

In his family, Huo Chengyi has always had a tough temper.

"Your Majesty, your kindness is well understood, but I hope you can understand the villain's thoughts as a father. I only want our children to be safe and happy in the future, and I don't ask for great honors."

"I know your temperament, this matter. Casually, if you don't want to, stop. It's just that you have made great achievements in the battle of Zhao Lu, and I must reward you well..."

Huang Qi's smile did not change.

"The villain likes to do business to make money. Your Majesty, you are happy, but the boy is bold and wants to ask for some benefits for the members of the business alliance, and I hope Your Majesty will accommodate."

"You said..."

"First, this support, The merchants of the business alliance have all made great efforts, and people go to high places. Some members of the business alliance want to serve your majesty, and please consider it for your majesty."

"Second, scholars, peasants, industry and commerce, people in the world have looked down on merchants since ancient times, so I hope that Your Majesty can give more convenience to those who practice business in the future. We are the commoners of Zhao State, and we also serve the country."

These two requirements are not excessive.

And after this incident, as long as the seven princes are not confused, they can deeply understand the importance of merchants to the country, and they will no longer suppress the development of merchants based on class.

"Okay, I agree. Besides, I will not break my promise that I promised you at the beginning. Besides, I will make you a third-class earl, but it can be hereditary and the fief of Haichang County. Are you satisfied?

" It is a powerful family, but having a fief means paying tribute to the court every year.

Haichang County is notoriously backcountry and backcountry.

At the beginning, he promised that his children and grandchildren would not be allowed to enter the officialdom. This made it clear that he was raised in captivity to cut meat...

"Old man, you are an old fox!"

Huo Chengyi couldn't hold back his anger.

"Each each other."

Huang Qi stroked the beard on his chin and smiled successfully.

Huo Chengyi immediately glared at him in a very angry and unruly manner, and then backed off in annoyance.

After returning to the rest room and closing the door, a certain person showed a treacherous expression and sent a telegram to Xiaobai at home to report the good news.

A wise man must be at a loss, Huang Qi, the old fox, wait for him!
