Liu Deng's rise is indeed very fast. In less than a year, he has swept away tens of millions of wealth.
Just when everyone thought the Kingdom of Wu was about to decline, King Wu came up with the new industry of papermaking.
Moreover, in just a few months, some people have begun to predict that King Wu's income this time has exceeded 10 million.
Their original sales channel changed from selling salt to selling paper. Compared with the current price of green salt, paper is the real profit-making product!
Except for those who had interests related to Liu Deng, the remaining courtiers began to have their minds filled with excitement, including the newly rising upstarts.
On the other hand, this is Wu Wang Liu Bi, who is deeply entrenched in the court and has intricate power. If he chooses this way, he may still have to struggle.
But if the copper coins of hundreds of carriages are added, the weight of King Wu suddenly seems to be heavier...
After all, the industry that Liu Deng can bring out is nothing more than selling salt.
But the problem is that the cake in Liu Deng's hand has basically been divided up. This makes it difficult for many people who have not received the cake to make the choice of helping Liu Deng or offending the King of Wu. A favorable decision for Liu Deng.
"Your Highness, in my humble opinion, should we reconsider this meeting? The power of the other princes should be enough. There is no need for us to get involved at this time..."
Although Liu Xian has now started posting messages door to door, Li Haomin is still ready to make one last effort with him!
After all, at this time, everything is happening in a hurry. Even if Liu Xian doesn't interfere, the other princes will take notice!
Liu Deng had cut off huge chunks of fat from these people before, but now that he had the opportunity to add insult to injury, they were all eager to step on him one by one!
"There is no need to say anything more about this matter. I would not be a man if I did not avenge this! And that bastard Liu Qi, how dare you humiliate me like this just because he is the prince!"
When he said this, Liu Xian almost went berserk. Only one night had passed, and this matter had now become a laughing stock in Chang'an City!
"Your Highness! A little impatience can ruin a big plan. Our matter this time is related to the safety of His Highness!"
Li Haomin was really speechless. Why is this good noble son now just like those stupid men in the mountains, ignoring everything?
"Sir, the prince has made up his mind about this matter. If sir is not willing to help me, Liu Xian has nothing to say!"
As soon as Liu Xian said these words, Li Haomin was shocked. Is this guy crazy?
...
The atmosphere became weird for a moment. Li Haomin had been recruited with great difficulty. Now he didn't even say a few words. What does this guy mean by doing something like this at this time?
"Sir, please forgive me, Liu Xian made a mistake in this matter!"
Fortunately, Liu Xian reacted immediately. Now there was only one person around him who could help him make decisions. If he forced him away at this time, wouldn't he be asking for trouble for himself?
"Your Highness, if you insist on doing this, then Your Highness cannot personally participate in this matter. You only need to let our people wave the flag and shout, and let others take the lead!"
Li Haomin also took a deep breath. He would die for his confidant. He could not join another master just because Liu Xian said something wrong. At this time, he simply stated his bottom line.
Liu Xian cannot go into battle in person now. After all, his main task this time is to make friends with powerful people, and then strive to send the youngest son of Chu King Liu Wu to Mrs. Shen.
Wu and Chu have always been on good terms. If King Chu's son can be pushed to Mrs. Shen's side, then at least the status of a vassal king will not be lost. Now there are fewer and fewer places in various places that can be enfeoffed.
It is most likely to be south of the original Suiyang Kingdom and north of Changsha Kingdom!
In this case, they only need to recruit the King of Changsha to join the group. If there are changes in the future, they will only need ten months to take control of Chang'an!
Although Chen Sheng and Wu Guang were defeated back then, the saying that princes and generals should rather be in love was deeply rooted in the hearts of the people!
Although King Wu is not a descendant of Emperor Gaozu, his father and himself followed Liu Bang to conquer the world back then!
Why can Liu Bang's descendants secure the position of emperor, but they can only be princes?
To put it nicely, they are also of the Tian family's blood, guarding the four sides for the imperial court, but in reality? It's just to send them away.
In this way, from time to time, under the banner of loyalty to the emperor and patriotism, some people continue to try to cut flesh from the bodies of these princes and kingdoms!
The territory in their hands was created by themselves with one knife and one shot!
This is to be passed down to future generations, why should it be given to them for free?
In fact, Li Haomin still didn't understand the reason why Liu Xian always wanted to get rid of him quickly, but Liu Bi still kept giving him opportunities after repeated defeats.
That's because Liu Deng's appearance broke the balance!
Before Liu Deng appeared, although the King of Liang was powerful, generally speaking, the power of the two sides was fairly balanced.
Therefore, the imperial court has not dared to make any moves. However, after the inexplicable rise of Liu Deng, he directly and greatly weakened the power of the Seven Kingdoms.
It also destroyed the salt-making industry dominated by Wu Chu in one fell swoop. Chu State was better off, and its own domestic salt could still be sold to those Dongou people.
However, Wu State was different. The entire salt production industry of Wu State collapsed directly, and there was no way to compete with Liu Deng.
If Liu Xian and the others had not saved their lives and turned the salt-making workshop into a paper-making workshop in time, the entire Wu Kingdom would have suffered a massive decline.
However, papermaking is only a separate industry after all, and many of the derivative industries in Wu that were originally dependent on the salt industry were almost completely destroyed.
Although Guangling City is still prosperous, in just a few months, more than a dozen buildings have suddenly appeared. This is just a microcosm of the entire Wu Kingdom.
Throughout the Kingdom of Wu, due to the demise of the salt-making industry, countless people were implicated and could not afford the exorbitant taxes stipulated by the King of Wu, so they had to sell their sons and daughters.
In less than half a year, the number of lowly people in the entire Wu Kingdom increased sharply by more than 50,000!
What's even more dangerous is that the court's attitude has suddenly become tougher. Even Liu Qi, who has always been good-tempered, actually rejected Liu Xian this time!
This is what scares Liu Xian the most. Liu Deng must suppress it. Otherwise, I am afraid that one day, Liu Deng will send several princes and kings to hell!
