However, there are some things that cannot be hidden from Chen Wuping and Liu Sanshu.
While he was drinking wine and eating vegetables, Uncle Liu said coldly: "Thousands of people's blood letters and all kinds of evidence...you asked me to do it, right?"
Chen Ze froze for a moment and responded with a smile: "I still can't hide it from my father and third uncle. It was indeed my idea."
"Is it because of Lu Qingyun?"
"If I say no, my father and third uncle don't believe it either." Chen Ze hurriedly explained: "But the more important thing to consider is that Xu Qianfang is very valuable to the palace."
"If you can persuade him to work for the palace, it will be valuable. If you can't persuade him..." Chen Wuping said calmly: "I will not spare his life."
Xu Qianqian is certainly valuable to the palace.
The first is Xu Qianqian’s personal ability. After all, he used to be the leader of the rebel army. The fact that he can pull up a team of 8,000 people proves that his leadership skills are definitely not bad. Moreover, the combat effectiveness of the Hanzhou rebel army at that time was quite powerful. Although it did not go beyond the southern eight state, but all of them are uniformly victorious!
Some of them fought against the Sui Army, and some fought against other rebels. In this case, they never lost a battle, which is enough to prove that Xu Qianfang is an extremely strategic general. If such a person can be included under his command, he will be able to win a battle. His team can quickly become a fighting force, and once such people join the team, they are often more loyal and will not betray easily.
The second is Xu Qianfang’s reputation. Unlike other rebels, when Xu Qianfang’s rebels were mobilized, the people supported him. Xu Qianfang was also regarded as a hero in the hearts of the people in the eight southern states. If such a person could join the town, The South Palace will definitely be of great benefit to the palace's reputation.
Of course, whether you join the Zhennan Palace or become the staff of the Zhennan Prince, the essence is the same.
Chen Wuping and Chen Zeben are father and son, with the same interests.
"Don't worry, father. I will definitely find a way to convince Xu Qianfang after arriving in Qingzhou."
Chen Wuping did not question it, but just raised his glass again: "I hope you can give me good news."
"yes."
Just after drinking the glass of wine, Chen Ze hesitated for a moment and said: "Father, over there at the court..."
"You don't have to worry about these things. Since I allow you to do it, I will handle the rest."
Chen Ze nodded quickly, seeing that Chen Wuping was so confident, there was a high probability that this matter would not cause too much trouble.
The court will not use this matter as an excuse. After all, the evidence of the crime has been clearly laid out for you, and the main responsible persons have gone to Qingzhou to serve their sentences. If the court still pursues the responsibility, then it will really slap itself in the face. .
It was already late at night after the banquet, and Chen Ze didn't drink much, mainly because the harvest from the peace talks this time was really huge.
It's not worth taking the risk yourself.
Chen Wuping has already granted himself a mine, and it is the Heshan Iron Mine closest to Qingzhou. It is located probably in the north of Hezhou. From now on, he can go there and ask for the mine at any time. The most important thing is that he does not have to pay!
Of course, this mine is not an unlimited mine. The mining volume is relatively small. The main reason is that the mining is relatively difficult and the quality of the mine is not good. Moreover, because the mine is located deep in the mountains, the transportation is difficult. It is extremely inconvenient. The annual ore production is about 300,000 kilograms.
Chen Ze doesn't expect anything else now, it would be nice to have it.
A series of reforms can be carried out later to increase production efficiency, and in this case it is naturally very worthwhile to invest in infrastructure.
Anyway, Chen Ze will definitely go there in person.
However, if we really want to vigorously develop, only 300,000 kilograms of iron ore will be a drop in the bucket. After all, in addition to infrastructure construction, these iron ores also need to carry out industrial construction, weapons research and development, etc.
Therefore, the news from Zhu Jiahui is also very important to Chen Ze.
Naturally, the more iron ore, the better. As long as the quantity is large enough and enough steel of relatively good quality is accumulated, artillery can be produced in a hard fight.
Guns are more casual. After all, the accuracy requirements of the parts are very high, and there is probably no way to produce them in a short time. Artillery is still more realistic.
Of course, weapon research and development has not yet entered the scope of research. The main reason is that this thing is too sensitive. Chen Ze will only plan to conduct it secretly after he is fully prepared. Not to mention that he also needs to have a large number of relevant technical talents. This all takes time to accumulate. , even if you want to do it now, you may not be able to do it.
Of course, Chen Ze did not forget about his little sister Chen Qingling. He quickly mentioned it while Chen Wuping was happy. Chen Wuping did not hesitate too much and agreed to let Chen Ze take Chen Qingling to Qingzhou. This time should not be too long. It was almost time to send Chen Qingling back. As for the specific time, it was up to Chen Ze himself.
After the banquet, Chen Ze went to find Chen Qingling. When she saw Chen Ze, the aunt started to act up again.
"I promised you to take me away as soon as the Mid-Autumn Festival is over! How long has it been! You simply don't keep your word, you despicable villain!"
Chen Ze's eyes widened: "Didn't I go to Wutong County to quell the chaos when I was in danger? How come you, a little girl, don't know the importance of the film?"
"I don't care, you have to keep your word! My things have been packed!"
"Apologise to me first. If you don't apologize, don't even think about leaving! Just stay at home!"
"Hmph! Sorry!"
"Is this the attitude of apologizing?"
"sorry."
"I can't hear you, please speak louder! You still want to go to Qingzhou if your voice is so low?"
"sorry!"
"That's pretty much it. My father has already agreed to let me take you to Qingzhou. You can stay at least ten days and a half!"
"Huh? It's only been a while?"
"If you behave well, I can let you stay for a while, but if you are disobedient, I won't let you stay for even one more hour, let alone ten days and a half month! Send you back to Hanzhou immediately!"
"Okay, okay, I will definitely be obedient! I will do whatever you ask me to do!"
"What I need is that you can't do anything I won't let you do. Under this premise, I won't object to whatever you want to do, and you absolutely can't go out privately. You must be followed by someone when you go out. You can't reveal that you are the princess, let alone bully others..."
"Okay, okay, I should all do it, I should all do it."
"Okay, I'll leave after I have two days of rest!" Chen Ze said hurriedly: "I have to visit Cao's house tomorrow. Judging from the situation, I guess I can walk in and get out lying down."
As expected.
The next day Chen Ze went to Cao's house as a guest. He drank so much that he fell unconscious and fell asleep at Cao's house.
As a result, when I woke up early the next morning, I found two geishas sleeping next to me...
