"Your Highness, if you offend the King of Wei this time, you are not afraid of chaos in the world in the future. Will the King of Wei send troops to attack Your Highness?"

At the southern gate of Qingzhou, a group of officials in Qingzhou watched King Wei's sedan chair disappear at the end of the official road. Qian Dafu asked at this time.

"Good question, if you don't offend the King of Wei this time, will he not attack me in the future? People in the world say that the King of Wei is as timid as a mouse. From this matter, this third emperor uncle is not only not timid, but also extremely shrewd. I'm afraid that many people will be deceived by him, including his father." Xiao Ming said.

"Your Highness means that the King of Wei has been secretly accumulating strength to wait for the opportunity?" Qian Dafu said.

"I'm afraid this is true. The war horses that the King of Wei bought in recent years far exceeded his father's promise to him. He secretly intercepted and killed other chambers of commerce who bought horses on the grasslands by other vassal kings. His ambition was not small, and he was so attracted to the Huyantuo tribe like this, which was not as simple as buying horses. I'm worried..." Xiao Ming frowned.

"What are you worried about?"

"I'm just guessing this, just take a step, let's take a look. The most important thing now is our own affairs in the fiefdom. The four great tribes must be castrated." Xiao Ming said firmly.

Now he wants to completely control the military and political affairs of the fief and use slaves to earn enough war capital. It is precisely because of this that he asked the King of Wei for 100,000 slaves.

The purpose of these slaves was to provide artificial power. The number of these 100,000 slaves was not large, but the labor force it brought was comparable to thousands of hydraulic forging hammers. In the present time when machinery was far from popular, these slaves were crucial to his industrial development.

As for why he doesn’t want 300,000, 500,000, or 1 million, it’s very simple. He can’t afford to be able to afford it even if he wants it.

Even so, he still asked for two million stones of food, which was enough for 100,000 slaves to eat for half a year.

As for why he didn't impeach the King of Wei, it was very simple. The King of Wei, who was anxious, would be the first to vent his anger. Moreover, even if he was punished and the King of Wei was imprisoned, he would not be able to take any advantage of the Wei land, and would only benefit his brothers and younger brothers.

Instead of doing this, it is better to make some pure benefits.

At this time at the Tuojiang Wharf, the King of Wei got on the boat surrounded by his personal guards. He looked back at Qingzhou City. The King of Wei sneered: "Xiao Ming, I can still get what I can give you. I can still get back what I can. Wait, I will ask you to give it back ten times."

At this time, a young man in white walked to the side of the King of Wei and respectfully shouted, "Uncle the Third Emperor."

When the King of Wei saw the young man, the anger on his face suddenly dissipated, and he showed a doting look. He said, "Yu'er, your body is weak, why are you coming out? Why don't you go back and rest quickly."

The young man smiled and said, "Uncle Sanhuang, if I don't come out and walk around again, I'm going to get moldy. Since I'm in Qingzhou, how can I go to the city to take a look?"

"You went to Qingzhou City?" The King of Wei said in surprise.

The young man nodded, "I also went to the workshop area outside Qingzhou City, but the guards there are so tight that it is difficult for outsiders to enter."

Cao Yu said at this time: "Your Highness, what's the problem? Five thousand soldiers are enough to pacify Qingzhou City. I will lead people to open the way for Your Highness!"

"General Cao must not be reckless." The young man looked serious, "Although King Qi is weak, he is a prince after all, and beating a dog depends on his master, let alone he is the prince."

When the King of Wei heard this, he looked at the young man sadly and said, "Yu'er, in my eyes, Xiao Wenxuan has never been the emperor of the Great Yu Kingdom, and those princes are not the princes of the Great Yu Kingdom. The throne belonged to your father, and you are the prince of the Great Yu Kingdom."

"The third emperor, the success of the king, the defeat of the enemy, this is a battle for imperial power. Why do you have to be obsessed with it? Now the real enemy of the Great Yu Kingdom is the barbarians. They are the most powerful enemies of the Han people in thousands of years. If my father was still alive, he would not be willing to see brothers kill each other." The young man in white advised.

"Yu'er, your idea is still too naive. For so long since you interacted with the Huyantuo tribe, from all aspects, the barbarians are now a dynasty with national strength not as weak as the Dayu Kingdom. But now you look at the Dayu Kingdom. There are many vassal kings, each fighting on their own, and a bunch of scattered sand. The aristocratic clans control the government and the local tyrants separatist the country. If the Dayu Kingdom cannot work together, how can they resist the barbarian cavalry?" King Wei said loudly.

After pausing, the King of Wei continued, "I think about it. The only thing that can eliminate the aristocratic families is not politics, but war, a thorough purge."

The young man in white was silent for a long time, and finally sighed, "Uncle Sanhuang, your words are exactly the same as my father's words back then. It's just that you and I will say this. Don't say it to outsiders, otherwise it would be a group of people to attack him, and my father is the lesson of the past."

The King of Wei looked at the rolling river water, his eyes wide and he didn't know what he was thinking.

It seemed that he didn't want to mention such a heavy topic anymore. The young man in white suddenly laughed and said, "Uncle the Third Emperor, this King of Qi is interesting. I saw a lot of interesting things in Qingzhou City, such as the Chamber of Commerce, Patent Office, and the army that farmed the land. This King of Qi is really different."

"It's different. He just blackmailed me 100,000 slaves and 2 million stones of food. Although my Wei land is rich, there are quite a lot of these things."

The young man in white was even more interested. "I didn't expect that the Third Emperor's Uncle also suffered a loss in his hands. However, when you take these transactions, you don't have to worry about the secret letter being exposed. After all, he was accomplice."

"Well, it's precisely because of this that I promised him. I even scared him. However, this kid has changed a lot. He actually said that although the Qingzhou soldiers are weak, they dare to fight. Haha, they are bloody. I began to like this kid a little. "The King of Wei laughed.

The young man in white smiled and said, "In my opinion, this King of Qi is different from other princes. Maybe he can bring us other different things."

King Wei smiled and his face gradually became colder, "But no matter what, he is our wayblocking stone. Now he is still useful to us, but if one day the wars face each other, we cannot show mercy."

The young man in white nodded. He looked at Qingzhou City. The huge fleet began to move slowly, but he always felt that this King of Qi would be their future rival in the future.

On the shore, a cavalry galloped south. He passed the order of the King of Wei to mobilize slaves to the Wei territory. Hundreds of thousands of slaves gathered from various cities in the Wei territory to Jinling, and took a boat to head towards Qingzhou in batches.

On the tenth day after the King of Wei left, the first batch of slaves and grain arrived in Qingzhou, with a total of 10,000 people and 500,000 stones of grain.
