I just didn’t expect that Chu Ximo would wait until now to speak out about what he knew a few years ago.yyls
"Ah Mo, I don't want to give it to you unless it's a last resort. You know what it will be like once it comes in use. I don't want to see a river of blood one day."
For Yan Shiqing, it was okay to use that thing against external enemies, but now that Chu Ximo wanted it from her, it was obviously to prepare for a future war with Shu Zuoxiang.
It would be great if we were fighting a war without gunpowder, but what if we were really fighting each other?
Don't be afraid of ten thousand, just be afraid of what happens.
Once there is a war, it is a civil war, and those who die in the end are basically the people of Chu.
She really doesn't want that day to come!
Chu Ximo was interested in her and knew her nature, so he understood her concerns.
Hearing this, he stopped, held her hand, and said face to face: "I know, and I promise you, I will definitely not use it as long as I can."
Yan Shiqing looked at him deeply and sighed: "Let me think about it first!"
Although Yan Shiqing said this, she actually made up her mind that the method would eventually be given.
Not for anything else, just for their great Chu royal family.
No matter in any era, the advancement of weapons represents the strength of a country.
Not to mention, most of Da Chu's troops are in the hands of A Mo.
It was only fitting to put something in his hands.
He and the prince, one is the king, governs the country; the other is the minister, protects the country.
Nowadays, Da Chu is facing internal and external troubles. It is his and every citizen’s responsibility to protect Da Chu.
Even though they have signed a hundred-year friendship treaty with Hongwu Kingdom, Hongwu Kingdom itself is not stable internally.
Not to mention that the fact that Prince Qi Lie is not the biological son of Emperor Dexuan has not yet been exposed, as far as he is concerned, he has not yet been able to stand up.
Under such circumstances, if Qi Yan is allowed to ascend to power, according to his ambition, it will be a matter of time before he fights Da Chu.
Moreover, once Emperor Dexuan knew that he did not have the blood of the Qi family, his life or death would be unknown, and the throne would inevitably fall into the hands of Qi Yan.
After hearing what she said, Chu Ximo felt relieved and did not rush her, but nodded slightly.
The topic ended here. Chu Ximo was reluctant to part with the rare time the two of them got together. He changed the subject and said: "When Zhai sent a message to Xiaowa earlier, Xiaowa replied that the countess is leaving because you are worried about the left prime minister and others.
Is she bewitched?"
"Well, I just want her to avoid it. Yesterday Xiangtao met Yan Xuezhi and said that Yan Xuezhi said that a bug was put into her body. I didn't see it with my own eyes, so I can't completely guarantee that it was a poison, but it's better to be more prepared.
Wrong. I'll go there with Lu Lan tomorrow to take a look. If we can confirm it, it means they have so many Gu at the moment that they don't care about one or two."
What Chu Ximo hates most right now is Gu, because that sinister thing controlled his father and brother, which brought Da Chu to such a situation.
In his opinion, those things should not exist, not to mention many, even one of them is not allowed.
Until now, he has not found out who raised the Gu in Dachu, and who got it from the southern border of Hongwu Kingdom?
I just know that that person is related to Shu Zuoxiang and is used by him.
"Is there anything you need me to do?"
"Yes, yes, but don't you want to go out to investigate the gold mine?"
"The second uncle has passed by. As soon as he knows, he will definitely ask someone to check. I don't want to go, but I want to take the time to go to Chuyan Town. In the past two days, there has been news that Chuyan Town will
The amount of salt produced in the town so far is 30% less than in previous years. I always feel that there is something wrong, and I want to go there in person and have a secret visit."
Yan Shiqing was surprised when she heard that the quantity was reduced by one-third. Then she turned her eyes and asked doubtfully: "Amo, what do you mean, do you suspect someone has tampered with you over there?"
"Well! I checked the salt production in Chuyan Town in the past thirty years. In the past ten years, the salt production has been less and less year by year. If it were a little less, it would be reasonable, but in just half a year, it was 30%. It is really
It shouldn’t be.”
"Ah Mo, are the well salt mines in Dachu only located in Chuyan Town or are there other places? How long have the well salt mines in Chuyan Town been mined?"
Yan Shiqing actually doesn't know how long well salt can be mined in one place, but she does know a little bit about modern Zigong well salt.
It seems that it has been producing well salt since ancient times, and it is also famous in modern times.
As for the situation in Chu Yan Town in Da Chu, she really didn't know much about it, so she asked this question.
"I don't know exactly how long the Chu Salt Town has been producing salt, but it must have been there for hundreds of years. Except for the Chu Salt Town, salt-producing wells have been found in other places in Da Chu, and the output is very small.
."
"So, does the salt consumed by the people of Chu all come from Chu Salt Town? Or is it actually connected with the sea salt of Hongwu Kingdom?"
"I don't know if it happened before, but since I can remember, our country, Da Chu, has had no interaction with the Hongwu Kingdom. Of course, except for wars, the salt that the people of Da Chu eat is all produced in Chu Salt Town.
I have a Yandao Yamen in Dachu. Since the well salt in other places can be ignored, the people from the Yandao Yamen are mainly stationed in Chuyan Town. But this time I think there should be a problem with the Yandao Yamen. Someone must have been corrupted.
, we don’t know exactly how many people participated.”
When Chu Ximo said this, he frowned, and then snorted coldly, "The Yandao Yamen is under the control of the governor. If they are really greedy, they are just those few people. But in my opinion, even if they are greedy, they are not that big."
They are brave enough to eat 30% of the food in one bite. There must be someone supporting a governor. Judging from the current situation in the court, there are only a few of them. Huh, after I found out everything, I chopped off their claws.
"
Yan Shiqing knew clearly that if it was really corruption, then this matter must involve Prime Minister Shu Zuo. In this way, the local governor is also his person.
It seems that he has really worked hard to gain military power over the years.
First it was General Weiyuan of Funing Town, then her mother's good uncle Luo Jintao, and now he is the governor of Chuyan Town (the governor is one of the local military and political officials and holds military power).
If this continues, if nothing happens, his wings will be full within three to five years.
By that time, the emperor's heart-eating poison had subsided, and the prince had become addicted to the love poison and obeyed the crown prince's orders in everything. Even if he ascended the throne, he would have no interest in government affairs.
He, Shuzuo Xiangwen, had the support of the ministers in the court, and Wu had his own troops. Even if he wanted to ascend the throne, it would be easy.
After sorting out these things, Yan Shiqing also knew the importance of the matter, so she said: "Then you go about your business, I don't have any big things here, I can handle it by myself. Otherwise, there is Princess Anle, what should I check,
Just ask her. Besides, my uncle Jiang Yunjing is also in the capital, so I believe he will be happy to cooperate with me."
