"Roading?"

In the imperial study, Li Kaiyuan agreed and nodded.

With a bitter face, Li Kaiyuan continued: "Your Majesty, these merchants cannot be too indulged. Merchants are seeking profits, and some merchants with no conscience dare to do anything. The officials thought that they would take this opportunity to lead some merchants with ulterior motives."

"A businessman with ulterior motives?" Xiao Ming smiled and said, "You are talking about the Cao family."

Li Kaiyuan seemed to have been insinating the Cao family for a long time, and at this moment, he seemed to have a sudden resentment in his heart, "Your Majesty, it's this Cao family. Now Cao Zhengyang wants to establish a business with more than 100 merchants. This is clearly against the Chamber of Commerce."

"Li San has told me about this." Xiao Ming said lightly.

Seeing Xiao Ming looking calm, he said, "Your Majesty, Cao Zhengyang's move is ulterior motives. Does the court still have to endure him?"

Xiao Ming's eyes were a little gloomy. At this time, he stood up and looked at the blooming peach blossoms outside the window and said, "Cao Zhengyang's move is not suspected of violating the laws of the Great Yu Kingdom. Since he has not violated the laws, how should he be punished?"

Li Kaiyuan was stunned for a moment, and he said, "Just as long as the emperor says..." Speaking of this, Li Kaiyuan couldn't continue.

Seeing this, Xiao Ming laughed, "You mean I can kill people at will? If so, how should the civil and military officials in the court view me?"

Lee Kaiyuan scratched his head and said, "Indeed, this move will make people panic."

"That's it. There is no need to kill people. It is easy for me to destroy the Cao family. I know the Cao family better than you, and I also know that the Cao family is regarded as a guest of honor by the King of Chu. However, for me, it is not the time to deal with the Cao family. The pig is not fat enough now." Xiao Ming was very calm.

The Cao family has strong financial resources and has now established seven mines under his rule, three textile workshops and a sea fleet, and the Cao family money house is even more famous.

In addition to letting the Cao family build more workshops in the six prefectures, he also found that the Cao family seemed to have contact with the missionaries, which made him extremely alert.

Because he knew very well that the identity of the missionaries of this era was not simple at all, he was going to play hard to get, asking Li San to collect all the evidence before taking the Cao family in one fell swoop.

At that time, the businessman will understand that he can also get the things he gives them back and do business safely, but don’t think about some things.

He told Li Kaiyuan what he thought, and then Li Kaiyuan felt at ease.

After talking about this, Xiao Ming continued, "But although the Cao family is not regulated now, the Cao family can be properly suppressed in trade so that they will not mess up Qingzhou's commerce."

"Yes, the emperor, this time the officials will support the merchants in the six states and tighten the people of Cao Zhengyang to avoid them raising their tails." Li Kaiyuan said.

Xiao Ming nodded. This was his purpose of asking Li Kaiyuan to come. Overall, he wanted to fight with a group of merchants led by Cao Zhengyang without breaking the situation. This would not only teach them some lessons, but also not affect the development of industry and commerce in the six states.

When Li Kaiyuan was sent away, a spring thunder sounded outside, and drizzled in the dark clouds.

In a blink of an eye, Qingzhou entered spring from winter.

Qian Dafu held up an umbrella for Xiao Ming at this time, and the two returned to the bedroom from the imperial study room.

At this time, in the bedroom, Luluo was walking with the crying Xiao Yi, while Zi Yuan and Fei Yueer were sitting on the chair and laughing while staring at Luluo holding Xiao Yi.

“I came today.”

Before he arrived at the bedroom, Xiao Ming laughed out loud. He rarely encountered three people playing together.

However, when he entered the bedroom, he found that there was a Cui Xueer sitting behind the door.

"emperor."

Seeing Xiao Ming, four crisp sounds sounded. Cui Xueer seemed to be a little uncomfortable when she entered the mansion, and her face turned red.

Since Luluo and Ziyuan were conferred a nobleman, they are closer to Xiao Ming than before. After all, they have become Xiao Ming's concubines.

However, both of them knew the right and wrong, never spread rumors and compete for favor, and never said anyone's fault in front of him.

This made Xiao Ming very pleased.

In this era, sometimes he could not choose, but since the situation was done, he could only accept his own backyard.

After entering the bedroom, Luluo took the initiative to carry Xiao Yi to Xiao Ming. At this time, Xiao Yi, who was flirty, was looking at him with his big eyes open, with his pure eyes without any impurities.

Seeing Xiao Ming, the little guy stretched his calves and his arms moved, showing a smile, and the water from his mouth gushed out. Seeing this, Luluo immediately took a handkerchief to wipe it.

Looking at his son, Xiao Ming felt warm in his heart. The emperor was also a human being and had his own emotions and desires. Now, he suddenly understood Xiao Wenxuan.

They are all their own sons. Although they each have their own preferences, they are unwilling to see them kill each other.

Xiao Yi was his first son, nor would he be the last one. He didn't want to see his son continue fighting for the throne.

So he secretly made a decision, a decision that would not allow the feudal dynasty to continue to cycle.

"Your Majesty, what are you thinking?" Fei Yueer suddenly asked when she saw Xiao Ming in a daze.

Come to his senses, Xiao Ming smiled, "It's just some government affairs." He paused for a moment, and continued, "By the way, why are you all here in this bedroom today?"

Fei Yue'er said: "It's always a bit boring to be bored in the middle of the road all day long, so I asked them to come over and talk."

Xiao Ming nodded, and at this moment he suddenly remembered that the Great Yu Kingdom had never added any projects to this era for so long.

Now that Fei Yue'er said this, he suddenly felt that he should take out some entertainment activities. After all, industry and commerce need to develop, and entertainment also need to develop, so that they can complement each other.

Moreover, a few days ago, Yang Chengye reported that foreign merchants in Dengzhou often came to Dengzhou to gather gambling, which also touched him a little.

These foreign merchants do not make money in vain. If they come up with some novel ways of playing, they will definitely attract more merchants to Dengzhou for fun.

After all, gambling is not illegal in this era. Instead of letting the public open gambling shops randomly, it is better to let the government office standardize gambling shops.

Thinking of this, he said to Fei Yue'er, "Since that's the case, I will give you something interesting to ensure that you won't be bored in the next period of time."

"Is that true? Since that's the case, I will have to see it." Fei Yue'er laughed.
