Aspirations for Nation and Beauty: Chapter 71 The way out

"Another emperor? Well, that's true. Look at the current state of the empire. His Majesty the Emperor has ordered that the imperial capital not leave the capital. Even Jinzhong is in chaos. In a word of mouth, the imperial central government can't control the local situation at all. The General Administration said that the General Administration of Military Affairs and the General Administration of Internal Affairs were ineffective in suppressing and suppressing bandits. The problem is the power and responsibility of the internal affairs department. The General Administration of the Interior said that the local security agencies are on the verge of paralysis and cannot undertake heavy security affairs at all. If it can’t be managed, I think the empire is dying, no wonder Li Wufeng is so arrogant, just like that, what can the empire use to restrain Li Wufeng?” Shaking her head, the tall and slender young woman was wearing a rusty red cloud brocade dress, her twin peaks were protruding, her waist was round buttocks, her fingers were like Onion, but the words are as sharp as a knife, without mercy.

"Elder sister is merciful. His Majesty the Emperor is still in power right now, and my father has been hesitating about it. Don't you add to his worries by counting like this now? Besides, Jinzhong is not the emperor. Your Majesty can solve it. How can people stabilize the people without food? Li Wufeng sent some food to the imperial capital, but firstly, this batch of food is for more than five million people in the imperial capital. Refugees from Cangzhou/Heishan/Longquan, which are quite difficult, will flock to them again. At that time, how will the empire deal with it? The batch of food in western Xinjiang has already made the empire's financial resources empty and complaining." Hua, who looks a little younger Believe that the young woman does not agree with the view of the tall young woman.

"Hmph, after all, it's all caused by the food problem. This Li Wufeng is the real big winner. A big risk and speculation at the beginning of the year allowed him to take advantage of it. Not only did he earn money from the empire, He paid a large sum of money, and made the people from all over the world feel grateful to him. It can be said that he has gained both fame and fortune. Everyone was caught off guard by the sudden drought, but Li Wufeng was lucky. Second sister, do you think this Li Wufeng? Is it really the right man?" Although the young Hongluo woman is naturally Shi Yayin, the daughter of Shi's patriarch, despite her seemingly careless words, she is actually very shrewd, especially at critical moments, with a keen political sense. Even her father Shi Yunyao She should be consulted on many important issues, but it is a pity that it was a big mistake to marry into Situ Mingzhi's family at the beginning. Situ Mingzhi's mistake caused his family to decline rapidly in the imperial capital, and made Shi Yayin's position and weight in the upper class of the empire drop considerably. At least, in the words of his father Shi Yunyao, if Shi Yayin can marry into the royal family, she will definitely become a qualified queen.

The decline of her husband's family caused Shi Yayin to lose a stage where she could showcase her talents, and she developed into a long-term separation from her already weak and incompetent husband. One faction's affairs, and the Shi family, which has been dealing with Situ Lang and Situ Tai, has been the first choice of Situ Lang and Situ Tai. The Shi family was immediately in a dangerous situation.

Everyone knows Situ Tai's character, and the Shi family should know the fate of betraying him. Everyone in Xuexuan is worried, but the changes in the general situation are beyond the control of martial arts sects like the Shi family. The Shi family including Shi Yayin and everyone in Ting Xuexuan know that as long as Situ Lang and Situ Tai reach an agreement, only I am afraid that the throne will change hands immediately, and the fate of the Shi family is doomed. Thinking of this, Shi Yayin shudders.

The only way to change the dangerous situation the Shi family is currently in is to prevent Situ Tai from ascension to the throne, or to find a backer who is strong enough to make Situ Tai fearful. Reversing the crisis of the Shi family. It is beyond the Shi family's ability to prevent Situ Tai from ascension to the throne. The practical way is to find a reliable backer, and now the only ones who may be able to influence Situ Tai are Situ Biao and Li Wufeng.

Situ Biao currently controls the entire Five Lakes, and his strength is expanding rapidly, which has already posed a challenge to Situ Tai's path to the throne. However, Situ Biao's current power in the imperial capital is quite weak. Putting himself under Situ Biao's command at this time, once Situ Tai and Situ Biao turned against each other over the matter of the throne, it is very likely that Situ Tai, who entered the imperial capital first, would immediately uproot Ting Xuexuan's faction, and the Shi family would also suffer disaster. But now it is necessary for the Shi family to evacuate the imperial capital in advance, not to mention that the top and bottom of the faction will not agree, even Shi Yayin feels that it is a pity that Ting Xuexuan's century-old foundation in the imperial capital will be destroyed in one go. After leaving the imperial capital, Ting Xue Xuan also lost the foundation of his existence. To Situ Biao, how much value is such an ordinary Jianghu sect? This is also what the three sisters Shi Yayin and her father Shi Yunyao have been hesitant about.

Although Shi Yayin lowered her voice, she still surprised her younger sister, Shi Yafu, who was standing by. Fortunately, the two daughters deliberately retreated to a corner where there was no one while they were talking. I came to take a peek, but seeing the two sisters talking in secret, no one came to bother me.

"Sister, you can't talk nonsense. Although the battle for the throne has gradually surfaced, it is after all being carried out in the Situ family's own family. , although Li Wufeng has some strength, how can he make the people of the empire obey him in terms of his status? Even if the people don’t agree with it, how can you dare to dream of the Ninth Five-Year Lord? In my opinion, even if Li Wufeng had the heart, he would not have the guts.”

Compared with his elder sister, marrying Shi Yafu into the Miao family is a **** deliberately arranged by Shi Yunyao among the upper nobles and business forces in the imperial capital. They also gradually changed their style of work to business families, but the aristocratic habits are still much stronger than those emerging business forces in the south of the Yangtze River and the East China Sea. However, relying on the support of the central government of the empire, the Miao family used the privileges of the nobility to almost occupy the northern part of the empire except for the government-owned iron mines. All the iron ore and copper mines in the empire have not only become the leading mining merchants in the empire, but also the number one smelting merchants in the empire. A considerable proportion of the orders for weapons, armor and ordnance of the empire are controlled by the Miao family, making the Miao family a well-deserved leader among the five major families of the empire. The first family.

However, the power of the Miao family has been greatly weakened since the rise of the Taiping Sect. Most of the main mines and smelting bases of the Miao family are in Beiyuan, Heshuo and Yanyun areas, among which Lulong/Qinghe Yunzhong and Hejian The three prefectures are not only the main mines of the Miao family, but also the mining, metallurgy and foundry base of the Miao family. The so-called Taiping Rebellious Party Assets Nationalization Act will take all the public and private mines and smelters in Lulong and Hejian that were once controlled by the Taiping Sect into the Xijiang Dadu Protectorate, except for a few mines with low reserves and small scale. Except for the smelting plant in the local government being auctioned off, all the huge assets of the Miao family in these two places disappeared, while the assets of Qinghe Mansion were taken by the Kaman people, and the mines and smelting and foundry of Yunzhong Mansion The field was also ransacked by the Taiping people and the Puer people in turn, leaving only ruins. At this time, the Miao family has fallen into a great predicament. All four bases have changed hands or been destroyed, losing mines and smelting and casting bases. The Miao family only has the fine processing workshop in the imperial capital, but there is no source of raw materials and rough billets, so the finishing workshop can only be closed~IndoMTL.com~ Lost privileges and relying on the Miao family seems to have to face the end of sitting and eating.

Naturally, there is nothing to be done about the Miao family of the Kamanians and Poole people, but for the Li Wufeng Miao family who promoted the so-called nationalization bill, they can be said to hate it to the bone but hold a sliver of hope, because Xijiang is implementing the so-called nationalization bill At that time, he did not close the door. He only said that if there is definite evidence that the small and medium-sized mines are privately owned, they can be resolved through legal proceedings. Such ambiguous words with tails make the Miao family, which is already in a desperate situation, look like a drowning person. Seeing a glimmer of hope for survival, the Xijiang Legal Affairs Office and the Trial Court immediately became the focus of the Miao family's research.

And due to the sharp decline of the Miao family's strength, Situ Tai, who had always been inseparable with the Miao family, and his relationship with the Miao family became cold. After seeing that he could not extract more economic benefits, Situ Tai also turned his attention Gradually moving away from the Miao family, this made the Miao family feel the coldness of the world for the first time. As a member of the Miao family, Shi Yafu can naturally appreciate the huge changes in the middle.

"Do you have the heart or the guts?" Asked coldly, the tall young woman stared at her younger sister and shook her head slowly: "I'm not sure, but second sister, you think Situ Tai is fine, Situ Biao That's okay, who will be the first target they want to fight for to replace His Majesty the current Emperor? It is Li Wufeng! As you said, due to material opinions and public opinion, Li Wufeng may not dare to sit on the throne for the time being, but in fact he has The power he possesses determines the fate of the throne. If he supports Situ Tai, then there will be no suspense in the battle for the throne. If he supports Situ Biao, Situ Biao will wake up laughing even if he sleeps, and Situ Tai will not have much chance either. , and if Li Wufeng supports His Majesty the current emperor, I am afraid that the throne will still be seated by the current Majesty."
