Unparalleled Concubine - v2 Chapter 1150

   Chapter 1150 Partnering to do business

   In the next few days, under Zhao Fang’s investigation, thousands of clans in the capital were implicated in this case of assassinating the Grand Master, and most of them were executed by Yulin Wei.

The matter has reached this scale, obviously it has exceeded the number of Ji Lin’s series, but as Li Xin’s brother-in-law, the newly appointed Yulin Zhonglang will spare no effort to track down Zhao Fang, but everything that has something to do with the case will be borrowed by him. Take the prison with the seal of the emperor.

   In just a few days, the imperial clans in the capital have already mentioned Zhao Fang and their expressions have changed.

   Finally, Li Xin greeted Zhao Fang and signaled him to stop here.

After this incident, although there are still tens of thousands of clans in the capital, no one dares to say anything about the imperial court. After leaving Yonglefang, he fled far away.

   There are also some distant branches of the royal family. The clans who do not have much industrial status other than the surname Ji, simply tried to escape from the capital, changed their names and changed their surnames, and no longer had the same surname as the emperor.

   For these actions, Li Xin did not stop them and let them escape.

  The Ji family who changed their surname is not the Ji family anymore.

On the fifth day of the assassination case, Li Xin held a banquet at the Jing’an Marquis Mansion and invited all the three giants from the southwest to his home.

  This banquet was set in the backyard of the Jinganhou mansion. There were only four low tables and four futons in total, which meant that only the four of them were eligible to eat this meal.

   It is more like a meeting than a banquet.

   Zhao Jia and the other three arrived early, sitting neatly behind the low table and waiting for Li Xin.

  After this assassination case, the relationship between the three of them and Li Xin has become a little rusty. Of course, this is not a good thing, but it is not all a bad thing.

  In the past, Li Xin and the three of them had a relationship of superiors and subordinates, but more of a relationship between friends and brothers. Li Xin talked to the three of them, most of the time in a soft and gentle voice, discussing slowly.

   But after this incident, the friendship between them became estranged, and the relationship between superiors and subordinates became much clearer. The former four people were like partners, but now they finally feel a little “monarch and minister”.

The three of them sat beside the low table and waited quietly for a stick of incense before they saw Li Xin in a blue robe approaching. The three of them quickly stood up and bowed to Li Xin: “My subordinate… Governor.”

  Li Xin walked to his low table and sat down, then waved to the three people: “You’re welcome, sit down and talk.”

   The three silently bowed their heads and sat down respectfully.

After Li Xin sat down, he first took a sip of the hot tea on the table, then glanced at the three of them, and asked lightly, “In the past few days, many people have died in the imperial clan in the capital, and the whole Yonglefang can smell it. A faint smell of blood, are you satisfied?”

  Li Shuo and Mu Ying were drinking tea at first, but when they heard the words, they stopped and put down the teacup in their hands, looking embarrassed.

Only Zhao Jia finished drinking the tea in his hand, and said quietly: “These rebels from the clan, intending to assassinate the Grand Governor and the Young Master, are really sinful, but fortunately they didn’t hurt the Grand Governor, otherwise it would be no exaggeration for them to die. In my opinion, the Grand Governor is still somewhat merciful…”

  Li Xin closed his eyes slightly and said slowly: “Forget it, I can’t tell you about this kind of thing with Brother You’an. I’m not calling you here today to discuss the matters of these clans.”

   All three secretly breathed a sigh of relief, bowed their heads to Li Xin and said, “That’s what the Governor ordered.”

   Li Xin looked at Zhao Jia and asked, “Are both the Ministry of Personnel and the Ministry of War under our control?”

   Zhao Jia hurriedly bowed his head and said with a smile: “Not only these two, but the Sixth Division and Jiuqing can now be said to be our people. Whatever the commander-in-chief has instructed, let me know, and my subordinates can go back to the Shangshu Desk to do it later.”

Li Xin nodded and said silently: “The Ji family’s clan is all over the world, these people in the capital are not convinced, and the local clan will not be convinced. In the past six months, Li Shuo has suppressed many local uprisings, most of which are The local clan is taking the lead.”

“In order to prevent the chaos of these clans all over the world, I plan to send officials at the level of Lieutenant Colonel and Lieutenant Colonel Longwuwei Shenwuwei to the localities through the Ministry of Personnel and the Ministry of War to be local military officers or military generals, as long as they are well controlled The local army does not need to be afraid of troubles in the clans of various places.”

   Hearing Li Xin’s words, Zhao Jia hurriedly lowered his head and said, “There is no problem with this, the Ministry of Personnel and the Ministry of War can cooperate, but…”

   He looked at Li Shuo and Mu Ying and said bravely, “It’s just from the two generals, I’m afraid…”

Although Zhao Jia’s words did not explain, the meaning of the words was very clear. Longwuwei and Shenwuwei were the Hanzhou Army and the Southwest Army in the past. Local officers, if these two generals are in a bad mood and want to rebel one day, they may cause a lot of trouble as long as they wave their arms.

Li Xin’s face was expressionless: “Not everyone came from Longwuwei and Shenwuwei, and some people can also be transferred from the forbidden army. In addition to the direct appointment of the imperial court, a group of generals can also be promoted locally. “

   Zhao Jia nodded and said, “So, starting from tomorrow, my subordinates will discuss this matter with the two generals and General Hou.”

   At this time, Zhao Jia and the other three giants in the southwest had unstoppable smiles on their faces.

The Grand Governor of his own family is finally going to completely encroach on the power of Dajin. Once the people of the Southwest Group, or Li Xin’s people become the officers and generals of the prefectures of Dajin, the clans in those places will not be born. If something goes wrong, then…it will be a logical change of dynasty.

  Li Xin took the initiative to bring up this matter, which means that the world will change surnames, it is only a matter of time.

  Li Xin nodded and continued: “One more thing, it will be more troublesome.”

He glanced at the three people in front of him and said, “The recipe for gunpowder has always been a top secret in the southwest, but this thing was still found by Emperor Yuan Zhao. Not only did he get it out, but he also used Ji Lin’s hand , spread out.”

   “It won’t be long before gunpowder is no secret.”

Governor Li said quietly: “This kind of thing cannot be completely banned by the power of the imperial court. It can only be done from the source, and the imperial court needs to issue a ban. From today, saltpeter and iron ore have the same status, and people are not allowed to privately If someone trades saltpeter in large quantities, the local government will immediately arrest them, and the crime will be judged according to the seriousness of the circumstances.”

   Speaking of this, Li Xin said coldly: “If you trade more than one stone of saltpeter, you can be judged as a crime, and if you trade more than ten stones, you can be judged on death.”

   This kind of policy matter also needs to be handled by the Shang Shutai. Zhao Jia lowered his head and said respectfully: “My subordinates will order them tomorrow, and Dali Temple will be able to promulgate relevant laws and regulations in a few days.”

   Next, Li Xin discussed some specific matters with these three people. For example, Shenwuwei would be responsible for suppressing rebels in the Gyeonggi area, and when to counterattack Xianbei in the north, etc.

   The four of them sat together and talked for about an hour or two before the banquet finally disbanded.

  Li Xin stood up, glanced at the three people, and said slowly: “I have known the three at least for more than ten years. Let’s do things together, it’s like doing business together.”

   Governor Li took a deep breath and continued: “Now that the business is bigger, you will have some careful thoughts of your own. This is understandable. I can understand you, but you must remember one thing.”

   Li Xin looked around the three of them, his voice a little cold: “Even if we do business together, I am the big one.”

   “This time with the Ji family, I can turn a blind eye or do as you wish, but this kind of thing can only be the last time, if this kind of thing happens next time…”

   Governor Li put his hands on his back and turned to leave.

   “Then our business can’t go on.”
