The Grand Void – Becoming a Dragon

King Chen was ordered to come here to rule the sixteen mansions of Huai'an.

In fact, he was ordered to come, there are four things, and each thing has a time limit.

First, within half a year, waterways will be dug, dredged, and connected to the sixteen prefectures in Huai'an, eliminating the floods of the past years. Moreover, it will be connected to Huaiyin and Huaibei to eliminate the frequent water shortages and droughts in the two places.

The second is to implement the new policy, as an experiment in the sixteenth government of Huai'an. If the new law is feasible and can make Huai'an better than before, it will be implemented and spread throughout the territory of the Dongsheng Dynasty.

Third, in the south of Huai'an, war horses were secretly raised.

Fourth, among the sixteen prefectures in Huai'an, there are three prefectures. A special ore was found, which can be smelted with another ore in Huaiyin to make it harder, especially better than the refined iron of the Dongsheng Dynasty.

Therefore, based on Huai'an, a military workshop should be established to refine ores and forge weapons and armor.

"Raise horses and forge weapons. Could it be that you want to use this to create elite cavalry?"

Zhuang Ming said slowly: "Secretly prepared war horses, and secretly forged weapons that are better than the swords and armor used by the current army. If we look at the joint implementation of the New Deal, this emperor has great courage... However, he chose People who are afraid of some problems."

Judging from the signs of this king with a different surname, Zhuang Ming can conclude that this person has great ambitions.

At present, they are only collecting money and using power for personal gain, but as long as there is an opportunity, they may not rebel.

Zhuang Ming didn't want to care about whether or not King Chen had the intention of treason, he just thought about how to make King Chen stop staring at himself.

If you can use this to find evidence and accuse King Chen, it would be the best to use the powerful officials who are hostile to King Chen in the court to be charged with treason!

Even, falsification of evidence may not be impossible.

But none of this happened overnight.

And the Zhuang's business was sealed up, and it couldn't last too long.

"Strong medicine is needed for serious illness, time is running out, don't blame Zhuang Ming for being cruel."

Zhuang Ming knocked on the table, and said slowly: "Shuang Ling, invite Bai Lao for me, ask Bai Lao to come, then tell Bai Lao, and tell Lu He, Liu He, Bai Qing, Yue Yang and others to come and see you together."

Suddenly, Frost Spirit's clear voice came from outside.

"Okay, son."

——

An hour later.

All the people called by Zhuang Ming have come.

"Young master." Everyone gave a salute.

"There is no need to be too polite." Zhuang Ming said: "All of you are my most trusted confidantes. I have called you here this time. It is just a secret matter for you to handle."

Speaking of this, Zhuang Ming paused again, and said: "This matter is related to the life and death of Zhuang's business, if it can be done, this calamity will be over, but if it can't be done, not only Zhuang's business will collapse, but we will wait for it." It's heinous."

"To be honest, at this moment, even if Zhuang's firm collapses like this, you can get out of it, and it may not hurt yourself."

"But after being assigned by me, after doing this, your life and death can only be tied to the Zhuang's business."

"If Zhuang's business is born, you will live."

"If Zhuang's business falls, you will die."

"I don't force this matter. If you don't agree, you only need to stay in Qianlong Villa within half a month. After half a month, you can leave on your own. After that, you must keep your mouth shut."

"Of course, if you agree, life and death are unpredictable."

Zhuang Ming looked at the people in front of him and said calmly.

In his heart, the few people he summoned can be regarded as confidantes, the most trusted companions.

This matter is outrageous and violates the laws of the Dongsheng Dynasty. Therefore, those who do these things must have the belief that they will live and die with him.

Therefore, Zhuang Ming will not force it, because he dare not use it if he cannot trust it.

The atmosphere in the room froze for a moment.

Immediately, I saw everyone salute as much as possible.

Bai Lao, Lu He, Liu He, Bai Qing, Yue Yang, etc. all bowed their hands in salute.

"It's all up to the young master's orders." Lu He said.

"This old slave is getting old, and for the sake of Zhuang's firm, even if he loses his old life, he is willing to do his best." Bai Lao replied.

"The young master chose us as the most trustworthy people. If we don't die, how can we repay the young master's trust?" Bai Qing said with a hey.

"We are all alone, with no worries, so why not die?" Liu He said with a light smile, "We are martial arts practitioners, who have been born and died, licking blood with the edge of a knife, and have long since lost fear..."

"Yue Yang and his younger brother Yue Ting are able to live to this day, it is the son's blessing." Yue Yang lowered his head slightly, and said in a calm tone: "Now even if he lost his life, he also earned a few more years."

"Thank you everyone!"

Zhuang Ming looked solemn, and bowed his hands in return.

There are quite a few capable people in Zhuang's firm, but the few people he picked can be regarded as his right-hand man.

When Frost Spirit summoned people just now, he had already considered the scope of selection.

One must have sufficient capacity.

Second, it must be trustworthy.

The third is to be alone, without worries.

Even though he had expected this response in his heart, but at this moment, Zhuang Ming was a little excited, and said softly in his heart: "I really saw the right person."

——

"Young master."

Bai Qing took a step forward and said, "The current catastrophe of Zhuang's business originated from King Chen. Is this outrageous thing meant to assassinate him? I'll do it, and I'll cut off his dog's head!"

Zhuang Ming couldn't help laughing, and said: "The imperial court just sent a prince who was in charge of Huai'an, and he was assassinated in a blink of an eye. Is this a challenge to the court's majesty, or an open rebellion? If he is assassinated, the imperial court will be furious. Thoroughly investigate the matter." We can't just kill the officials sent by the capital one by one? We are just attached to a small firm in the territory of the Dongsheng Dynasty, and we only make some money. How can we compete with the entire Dongsheng Dynasty? There is no plot to become king, and the background of gathering crowds to rebel..."

Bai Qing was taken aback for a moment, scratched his head, and asked embarrassingly, "What does that young master mean?"

Zhuang Ming said plainly: "We dare not openly rebel and embarrass the court, but secretly, it is still feasible to add obstacles to this prince. Of course, even if it is only to add obstacles to this prince, once it is investigated, it is also a violation of Dongsheng Dynasty. The law requires decapitation, therefore, when making trouble for this King Chen, one must do things cleanly and not leave any tails behind, otherwise, leaving a handle would be a heinous crime..."

After he finished speaking, he took out a few sheets of rice paper, which were filled with densely packed words.

Following Zhuang Ming's instructions, several people stepped forward and got one or two cards each.

"King Chen has been in the sixteen mansions of Huai'an for many days, but a few days ago, there was no sound. It was not until this morning that he took action against our Zhuang's firm and suppressed it with the power of the government like a thunderbolt."

Zhuang Ming said: "But what was he doing in Huai'an a few days ago? He just arrived here for the first time and needs to be familiar with the situation in Huai'an? Moreover, according to the news that Lu He sent back before, King Chen accompanied more than 200 people. There were about eighty guards, and the remaining one hundred and twenty people were unknown and their whereabouts were mysterious. Moreover, after King Chen came to Fengcheng, they all left Fengcheng on the same day, scattered everywhere, and disappeared... and There are not many guards around King Chen, and the rest are going to protect these unknown people."

Lu He whispered: "It can be seen from this that King Chen's request to come here is definitely not for the Zhuang's firm, but for another reason."

Zhuang Ming nodded and said: "I also said before that King Chen thinks very highly of himself, and he will not take me as a merchant in his eyes at all. He came to Huai'an mainly because of other important matters... And, if you are a caring person, Those who are well-informed, if they inquire about his reason for coming, perhaps in the end, they just think that King Chen came to take revenge on Zhuang's business firm, and the destruction of my Zhuang's business firm became his reason for coming to Huai'an on the face of it. his true intentions."

Bai Qing clicked his tongue secretly, and couldn't help but click his tongue: "Mother! The intrigue is so complicated! It's still easy for me to practice martial arts. If any bastard provokes us, just cut it in half with a knife..."

Including Zhuang Ming, everyone looked at Bai Qing.

Bai Qing shrunk his neck, and then said awkwardly: "It's a pity that the prince has his back to the court. We can't kill him casually. In the end, we still have to rely on the son's scheme."

Zhuang Ming looked as usual, and said: "If you can move mountains and fill seas, crush everything, and sweep away millions of troops, then you don't need to play any tricks. Looking at the entire Dongsheng Dynasty, you can do whatever you want, let alone kill you!" Prince, even if you kill the emperor, it will not be a problem."

The emperor is the supreme person of the Dongsheng Dynasty, the highest person in power, this statement is already treasonous.

In the past, Zhuang Ming would not speak like this.

However, the few people at present are all confidantes, and they are willing to live and die with Zhuang's business, so there is no need to hide it.

But at this time, Bai Lao asked again: "My lord, now..."

Zhuang Ming said: "I have received specific information from Mr. Zhao, and what you have in your hands is the plan I formulated based on the information."

Lu He hesitated: "Master Zhao..."

Zhuang Ming said: "One wins and one loses and one loses. He dare not betray me. Moreover, even if his news is not true, I am prepared, and everything is written on it."

When everyone heard the words, Fang exhaled.

Liu He couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "Young master's plan is always thoughtful, I'm the one who thought too much."

Bai Qing looked down, clicked his tongue secretly, and thought, "So complicated? So ruthless?"

Zhuang Ming said solemnly: "What you are asked to do and where you are responsible are different, so be careful."

After a pause, he continued: "You are my confidantes, and in the Zhuang's firm, there are also confidants under your command, but you must remember that when selecting personnel, you must choose trustworthy ones who can keep their mouths shut and are willing to die. Yes, it’s best to be as unencumbered as you are.”

All the people present were all awe-inspiring, so they all saluted together, and replied in a deep voice: "I would like to follow the order of the young master."

Zhuang Ming nodded and said: "Then let's go, the Zhuang's business has been sealed up, and the loss is huge every day, so there is no delay... But between you, the responsibility is different, and the specific time to do it is also different. I have already written all the details on paper, so you have to read them carefully!"
