Douluo ice demon Yuhao

The Sun and Moon Empire, the Ming capital, the imperial city, and the cabinet.

Three months have passed since the new emperor defeated Xu Tianran and ascended the throne. Not far from the original royal palace, there are several more solemn buildings.

These buildings are the offices of the cabinet, and they have been officially completed. The one in the middle is the current cabinet chief minister Jing Hongchen. Being able to live in such an important place shows that he has a high position.

Without special circumstances or the new emperor's permission, no outsider except Kong Lao could break into the cabinet and disturb the work, not even in the worship hall.

At this moment, in this Hongchen Pavilion, there are only two people, Jing Hongchen, the chief minister of the cabinet, and Huo Yuhao.

The new emperor's identity has always been closed to the outside world. He only goes to court two or three days a month, and almost all court affairs are handled by the cabinet. Huo Yuhao himself talks to Jing Hongchen regularly. He is in control of the big things and has completely controlled the small things.

Delegated power to the cabinet.

Of course, the situation in the Sun and Moon Empire has long been stable. Except for the joint establishment of Ming Dou City with Xingluo Tianhun, there will be no major events. There is no war. With the prosperity of the Sun and Moon Empire, it is simply a prosperous era of singing and dancing.

"Master Hongchen Hall, Mingdu has been peaceful recently, right?" Huo Yuhao's tone was relatively relaxed.

Although Jing Hongchen has become the first assistant, he still calls him the master of the hall.

"There are still so many ministers who oppose me, but it just won't make a difference." Jing Hongchen sneered. Most of the cabinet members are from Mingdetang. Ye Yulin was also sent to build Mingdou College. He did not ignore the opponents at all.

Keep it in mind.

Huo Yuhao smiled and said: "That's okay. I said, Master Hongchen, this will be the investment with the greatest return you have ever made."

Jing Hongchen smiled calmly and took a sip of tea: "It's just that I have more control over the court, but I have less control over Mingde Hall and the academy. Although they are basically handed over to Jiayi, he takes care of many things.

If you can't make up your mind, you can only ask me for advice."

"Many people from Mingdetang have been transferred to the cabinet, and the progress of many studies there has slowed down."

As he said this, Jing Hongchen looked sad. The conflict between power and research made it difficult for him to balance.

"Does Mingdetang have any important plans now?" Huo Yuhao asked, "How is the research progress on the Gundam...humanoid soul guide?"

Jing Hongchen replied eloquently: "The highest plan of Mingdetang has always been the political mission assigned by the emperor, including those war soul tools including Plan No. 1."

"Plan No. 1 has made great progress and can be said to be basically completed. However, except for Plan No. 1, the progress is not very satisfactory."

Huo Yuhao waved his hand directly: "We don't need those outdated war soul guidance devices. Tell Lin Jiayi to ask Mingdetang to temporarily suspend those plans and concentrate all scientific research efforts on developing the soul guidance satellite for me."

Mingdetang has already had the concept of soul guidance satellite, but has not yet started to study it.

However, in Huo Yuhao's view, the soul guidance satellite is much more important than those bombs, cannons and even Gundams. The importance of information is not inferior to the large caliber and power. Huo Yuhao understands this deeply.

"This is Mingdetang's new plan zero, let them go ahead and do it."

Jing Hongchen nodded, but soon frowned: "But if you want to study soul guidance satellites, the one who is best at high-altitude soul guidance satellites is..."

Before he finished speaking, Huo Yuhao knew that he was referring to Star Douluo Ye Yulin.

"That's why I arranged for Mr. Xuan to go to Mingdou with him." Huo Yuhao seemed to have expected this.

"Huh?" Jing Hongchen squinted his eyes, a light flashed in his eyes. He already understood Huo Yuhao's intention and stopped asking any more questions.

He took another sip of tea, changed the subject and said, "You want Zi Wen to make connections there and develop further cooperation with the Jiubao Glazed Sect. Winning them over may not be a problem, but Mingde Hall will have to hemorrhage a lot of money."

Huo Yuhao asked: "What advice does Master Hongchen have?"

Jing Hongchen frowned and said: "The Jiubao Glazed Sect has also been a regular customer of Mingde Hall for many years. They have spent a lot of gold soul coins on soul guides. But if they become the exclusive dealer of Mingde Hall, what is involved?

The amount is not as simple as a few hundred million."

"If the price is too high, it won't be such a strong inducement; if it's too low, it will inevitably cede Mingdetang's own interests."

"What's more, how can you guarantee that they are exclusive?"

Jing Hongchen smiled disdainfully: "When the Ming Dynasty strictly controlled the export of rare metals and soul tools, there were many smugglers. Now that you have opened up the export, those underground forces will probably be very happy."

No matter what the ban is, there are always people who choose to ignore it in the face of huge interests.

Huo Yuhao said indifferently: "Master Hongchen Hall, you have to take a long-term view. Only by taking a long-term view can you catch big fish. What's more, you are already the chief minister of the cabinet and have the right to interfere with all the material warehouses in Mingdu. Why bother with Mingde Hall itself?"

What about your income?”

"As for those underground forces..."

Huo Yuhao's eyes suddenly shot out a cold light.

"Forget about those small fish and shrimps, but it's time for the Ordinary League and the Aodu Chamber of Commerce to go down and keep company with the Xishui League."

The three major underground forces in Mingdu, the Pingfan League and the Aodu Chamber of Commerce are still engaged in shady activities in the underground of Mingdu.

Naturally, Huo Yuhao would not let them go, but he was still considering ways to minimize the impact.

Although the original industries of the Xishui League were absorbed by the Northern League, there was nothing they could do. He planned to leave this matter to Jing Hongchen.

"Are you sure? These two underground forces are not small. They involve too many ministers and several princes."

"To uproot them, it's not as simple as killing two alliance leaders. If the trouble gets bigger, Mr. Kong will never sit idly by."

Mentioning the underground forces, even Jing Hongchen couldn't help but show a solemn expression.

"There is darkness wherever there are people, but Mingdu does not need a place darker than the Imperial City." Huo Yuhao said coldly, "Master Hongchen Hall, please remind you and some people, for the sake of the beauty of Mingdu

For the sake of tomorrow and your own personal safety, it’s best to wash your hands as soon as possible.”

He will definitely deal with these two underground forces. No matter who is the protective umbrella behind them, they will die together with the Sun and Moon Xu family.

He believed that Jing Hongchen was happy to do this in order to further strengthen the status of the Hongchen family.

Jing Hongchen thought for a long time and nodded solemnly.

He finally brought the topic back to Mingdou Academy: "Speaking of which, Ye Yulin and I are old rivals. He will definitely lead his students to participate in the next continental youth soul master competition."

Huo Yuhao smiled and said: "With competition, there is motivation for progress. This is a good thing. Does the Master of Hongchen Hall have a sense of crisis?"

Jing Hongchen snorted and smiled: "A newly established college, no matter how much resources it invests, it will not be a rival to Sun Moon College."

Huo Yuhao stood up and finally gave him a confident smile.

"Then let's wait and see."

He doesn't care much about the ranking in the competition. As long as he goes all out and leaves no regrets, that's enough.

However, in addition to the talents recommended by the three major empires, the first freshmen of Mingdou Academy also have special targets that he must include.

And Dou Ling Empire is his next destination.
