The important officials of the Ming Dynasty gathered in Yixin Pavilion. Cao Yun was imprisoned by the Emperor of Qi and then was inexplicably robbed and disappeared. This was a huge event for Qi, but for the Ming Dynasty, it also could affect the implementation of the national strategy.

"I agree with Your Majesty's opinion!" Quan Yun said: "You can't expect Cao Yun to really gather those wealthy families to fight against the Emperor of Qi. If this person really had this ambition, he would not have taken the initiative to retreat from the position of the commander of Qi when his reputation was rising. I prefer that this time Cao Yun was arrested and imprisoned was a double act between him and Emperor of Qi, with the purpose of luring those wealthy families to take the bait. Now it seems that they have succeeded. When these wealthy families were complacent because of the disaster, they had actually begun to fall into the trap of the Qi court."

The kitten nodded and said, "Cao Yun is very famous among the Qi army. If this is really a strategy, we can imagine that one Qi army after another will enter Luoyang by joining Cao Yun. But in fact, these troops did not rebel with Cao Yun, but helped Cao Yun eliminate these wealthy families. The Emperor of Qi did not want to fight a lasting battle with the wealthy families, but wanted to make a contribution to one battle."

"It's this." Qin Feng agreed with the two of them, "Cao Yun may not agree with Cao Tiancheng's approach, but when Cao Tiancheng is determined to act alone, he will once again give in and actively cooperate with Cao Tiancheng to complete what the other party wants to do. This person has been immersed in the army for many years and knows that if there are two voices in a group, then for this group, it is the beginning of a situation where the situation is lost to the abyss and is doomed."

Fang Dazhi was very depressed: "Your Majesty, so, since Cao Yun entered the Ming Dynasty, everything we did has become useless, then Cao Yun was afraid that he would watch our efforts as a monkey show. This is really annoying."

Qin Feng laughed: "You can't say that, we have gained a lot. Cao Tiancheng once again appointed Cao Yun to wipe out wealthy families. It is certain that when the wealthy families are destroyed, Cao Yun's reputation will reach its peak again. When a minister's reputation is much higher than his emperor, can this emperor still sit still? So, this is Cao Yun's last performance, let's wait and see the curtain call of this master of military arts in the world. He will never have time to come out of the mountain in his life."

After a moment of pause, Qin Feng continued: "And because of our intervention, the wealthy families have made up their minds to do a big vote. Their power cannot be seen. More importantly, the power of the wealthy families has penetrated into all aspects of Qi. It can be said that most of the elites in Qi are composed of these people. You can think about it. The reform of a country almost captures the elites in the country. What kind of situation should it be? As Cao Tiancheng hoped, he obtained a picture that can be painted at will.

The white paper is wiped, but there is a lack of corresponding talents. It is really possible that the paintings made on this piece of paper will be a masterpiece or a child’s graffiti? Everyone, at the beginning of our country, there were a shortage of officials. Those who have a few words can come out to be an official. I think everyone will not forget the experience of being an official? Even now, after years of hard work and recruiting talents everywhere, we are still struggling everywhere. An official often has to do several officials’ affairs, and they are as tired as dogs. You will not forget this feeling, right?"

Everyone laughed when they said something. Who did not come through that most difficult period? Over the years, with the stability of the Ming Dynasty regime, more scholars have begun to work. Schools opened in various parts of the Ming Dynasty have also begun to deliver talents in batches, which has been alleviated. However, the shortage of people in governments at all levels is still an indisputable fact.

"If they really fight, they will fight hard, then that's good!" Fang Dazhi said with emotion: "Then we'll get a big advantage."

"Don't think about good things." Qin Feng said: "Our opponents are all great men of a generation, and no one is a fool. It is rare for a guy like Cao Tiancheng who dares to cut off the abscesses on his body without caring about his large amount of blood loss. But he has a great military master like Cao Yun and a repair master like Tian Fen, which seems to be able to reduce the losses to a bearable range. Even so, we have taken a big advantage. At least, we have won enough time to completely surpass them from national strength. There are not many shortcuts to take in the journey of unifying the world."

"Your Majesty, can we support those wealthy families so that they can last longer? I think the longer they fight, will we benefit more?" asked Geng Jingming, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue.

"No, on the contrary, we must completely cut off our support for wealthy families, except for Zhou Jiyun." Qin Feng said decisively: "Cao Yun is a terrible person. Once he takes action, I don't recognize how long those people can last. No matter how much money is spent, it will be a waste of water."

"Those big families still have huge deposits in Changlong Bank in our Ming Dynasty." Geng Mingming said: "Once they really make trouble, they will probably withdraw these funds for military expenses."

"No!" Qin Feng said: "Tell Changlong Bank, no matter what excuses they use, I can't give them a penny. This money can play a greater role after our Ming Dynasty. If you give it to them, you won't be left with one."

Geng Jingming had a little tooth pain: "Your Majesty, this is a blow to the reputation of Changlong Bank. They are relying on credibility to absorb such huge deposits."

"I think it's easy to find excuses. When the wealthy families in Qi are defeated one by one, don't they still leave their descendants in our Ming Dynasty? The money will eventually be returned to these people. At that time, the world will only praise them for their trustworthiness and not bullying."

"What if they want to use this money to buy our ordnance?"

"Of course, I won't sell it either!" Qin Feng shook his head, "Tian Kang, you can also use your channels to reveal this matter to Qi Guo. It would be better to sell them. Of course, if you can get some benefits, it would be better."

"Your Majesty, I will do my best to do it." Tian Kang said.

"In the Qi State, Cao Tiancheng will definitely successfully eliminate all the power of wealthy families, but outside, we must ensure the existence of Zhou Jiyun. As long as this person exists for a day, he will restrain a large number of troops from Qi State. In Jinghu, he will send a letter and try his best to stop Bian Wushuang from taking advantage of this moment to attack Zhou Jiyun. If he has this idea, he might as well do something in Jiangnan. Jiang is much better than a Kunling County, and he will not pick up sesame seeds and throw watermelons."

"After the Qi army in Hengduan Mountain withdraws, it will inevitably be the main force to attack Kunling County. This is a test for Kunling County. Kitten, have our people arrived?"

"Your Majesty, the 5,000 studs led by Guan Ning and Yu Hong have arrived in Kunling County, and the overall dressing has been completed in Kunling County. They are wearing Qi army uniforms and holding weapons from our Ming Dynasty. Zhou Jiyun has deployed them in the direction of Luzhou." said the kitten.

Qin Feng smiled: "It seems that Zhou Jiyun is going to deal with Tuobayan in Hengduan Mountain himself. Oh, by the way, is Tuobayan the one who commands the Qi army in Hengduan Mountains this time to retreat?"

"Your Majesty, this is not clear at this moment. Tuobayan is Guo Xiancheng's niece and the main general of Hengduan Mountains. He will most likely be the commander of the attack on Kunling County." Tian Kang blinked his eyes and said.

There are not many people in this room who know Tuobayan’s true identity.

"It's great that they can see a real chapter." Qin Feng narrowed his eyes and said with a smile: "If Zhou Jiyun suffers a loss, he will rely more on us. Where can we send our domestic veterans continuously? Zhou Jiyun is a good general, and Yue Kaishan is a good veteran in the management area. I like it very much."

The people in the room laughed happily again. When Kunling County leaked a crack in the door towards Daming, the door could only be completely open in front of the Ming people. In the end, this place would become a paradise for the Ming people.

The complete inclusion of Kunling County controlled by Zhou Jiyun into the Ming system was not only a powerful weapon for the Ming Dynasty to ultimately attack Qi, but also a powerful chess piece used by Qin Feng to curb Bian Wushuang.

"Your Majesty, I think the Eagle's Nest should be prepared in advance." Jin Jingnan smacked his lips, "It is inevitable that Cao Tiancheng would start a massacre after destroying those wealthy families. We might as well think of some ways to rescue some of them and bring them to Kunling County. If these families are destroyed, they will inevitably be the vanguards of the anti-Qi army in the future. Maybe they are more enthusiastic than us. The local forces of the wealthy families are mixed. Cao Tiancheng can kill all these sects, but it is impossible to kill all the people in those places. When we counterattack Qi in the future, it would be very good to have such a leading party."

"Leading the Way?" Qin Feng laughed: "This word is used very appropriately. Tian Kang, if you do this, of course, the people you save need to be selected. It is best for those who are well-known and respected in the local area, but have no experience in military and political affairs. Such people can be used by me after being rescued, but will not cause us too much trouble."
