Qian Chuwan looked at Song Jingrong's absent-minded look, curled up the corner of his mouth, and left without waiting for Song Jingrong to answer.
…
Concubine Qian's bedroom.
"Master, Chu Wan has already provoked a conflict between Song Jingrong and the Nangong family as agreed."
Liu Xiangchen sat in a high position and glanced at Qian Chuwan lightly, and said: "You have done a good job. Once the matter is completed, I will give you the antidote. I can grant you whatever you want."
Qian Chuwan smiled and said: "What I want is very simple. What I want is to go to Tianqi. I wonder if the head of the family can help me do it."
Liu Xiangchen never expected that the place Qian Chuwan wanted to go to after regaining his freedom would be Tianqi.
"Why do you want to go to Tianqi."
"The only empress in the entire continent right now is Liu Qingge. I think I can truly display my talents with Liu Qingge." Qian Chuwan said without hesitation.
"Don't you want to become an official, Queen? You are indeed very interesting."
"Why does a woman have to depend on a man? What I want to do, I can completely rely on myself, not on a man. It's simply a fantasy."
Liu Xiangchen's own life experience is not much different from Qian Chuwan's. They were both born as commoners, but he was lucky enough to meet Liu Fufeng, and even more lucky that he had several chances to do it again.
This life was the longest he had ever met Liu Qingge. No matter how hard he tried in his previous lives, Liu Qingge ended up marrying Feng Yu. He even suspected that Liu Qingge in this life was also reborn, because In this life, Liu Qingge unexpectedly chose to cancel the engagement.
"I will help you, as long as you are loyal enough to Brother Liu," Liu Xiangchen said.
Qian Chuwan's lips curled up: "It's a deal."
"It's a deal."
After receiving Liu Xiangchen's promise, Qian Chuwan was extremely happy and relaxed. She had not felt so comfortable after having acupuncture for many years.
From being a concubine to now, she seems to have fulfilled all her dreams.
After all, she just wanted to live. She really didn't know why as a woman, her way out was so difficult, why the concubine still had a chance to give it a try, but as a concubine, she could only be used as a tool for marriage, humble. alive.
When she first met Liu Xiangchen, Qian Chuwan thought she had been redeemed, but her redemption was just a struggle until she married Song Jingrong.
She naively thought that she finally had a chance to get ahead, but who knew that she would end up in another abyss?
…
Apocalypse, the Royal Palace.
Shangguan Xizhi said: "Your Majesty heard that Western Shu wants to learn from our reforms and allow women to serve as officials."
Liu Qingge's expression was indifferent after hearing this: "The foundation of Xishu is smaller than that of Zhongzhou, and there are not many talents. Now that our Tianqi is gaining momentum, I am afraid that we will attract more talents to our Tianqi. The one with the greatest impact will first be Xishu is relatively closest to us."
"Now is the time when there are people in Western Shu. The exodus of Bei Mo has directly greatly reduced Song Jingrong's power. All men have been drafted into the army. Everything is in need of talents. The loss of a large number of talents makes it difficult for Western Shu to continue. If Western Shu The successful reform of Shu from now on will pose a powerful threat to us." Shangguan Xizhi analyzed.
"Xizhi, your analysis is not unreasonable, but unlike us, their economy is not as developed as ours, and there is no tax. All the money is for living expenses. How long do you think their free medical care and education can last? Not to mention promoting female education and using female officials." The most important reason why Liu Qingge felt that the matter in Xishu was just a trivial matter and would not achieve anything was because Xishu had no money.
Shangguan Xizhi frowned and said: "If the Feng King helps us, then Xi Shu's urgent need will definitely be solved. After all, the Feng King's territory has been the land with the most stable tax revenue for so many years."
"Xizhi, can't you see? The Feng King didn't try his best to help at all. If the Feng King really had the same heart as Song Jingrong, why worry about not being able to capture Zhongzhou? The reason why he couldn't capture it for a long time gave Song Jingshu some breathing space. The main reason for the opportunity is that there is a rift between Feng Wang and Song Jingrong."
"Of course I can understand this, but now King Feng and Song Jingshu are just grasshoppers in the same boat. If Xishu is really in trouble, they can't stand idly by for a long time."
Liu Qingge sneered and said: "It is indeed impossible for the Wind King to stand by and watch, but taking advantage of the situation and taking advantage of it is not a bad idea."
Shangguan Xizhi listened to the irony in Liu Qingge's words, smiled lightly and said: "It would be great if this is true. If King Feng doesn't take advantage of the situation, it will be difficult for Western Shu to become chaotic."
"If you want Western Shu to collapse, firstly, there is a conflict between the Nangong family and Song Jingrong, and secondly, the Feng King will take advantage of the situation. If these two are combined, Western Shu will collapse on its own."
"Your Majesty, if Western Shu dies, it will not be of any benefit to our Tianqi. The only strong one is Zhongzhou. If Zhongzhou takes this opportunity to capture Xishu, then the entire Zhongzhou will have the experience to free up us."
"So we still have to prepare on two fronts. The first-hand preparation is to respond to the successful reform of Xishu. The second-hand preparation is to prepare for Zhongzhou to annex Xishu. Xi Zhi and Mr. Lin, this matter has been left to you two for a long time. "
"Yes." They both responded in unison.
After everyone left, only Qingshu stayed. She took the secret report and said: "Your Majesty, according to the secret report, Song Jingrong has already had a conflict with the Nangong family."
Liu Qingge was surprised. She had thought that the Nangong family would oppose it. After all, the people who were most opposed to the implementation of free education and free medical care were the Nangong family. Unexpectedly, this time when women’s education was promoted and women were encouraged to join the court as officials, the Nangong family would still The first to object.
"Song Jingrong's reform is not impossible, but how to implement it. The biggest obstacle currently seems to be the Nangong family. Without the support of the Nangong family, this reform is nothing but empty talk. For the men who have just implemented it, There is no money for education, let alone promoting female education.”
"I don't dare to speculate, but according to all the intelligence analysis, the conflict between Song Jingrong and the Nangong family has been brewing for a long time. If someone is interested in adding fuel to the fire at this time, I believe the conflict between the two will get out of control. .”
"I don't care if it's out of control. The key point is to ensure that our immigration policy can be implemented smoothly. Only by attracting more immigrants to our Tianqi can we form a healthy talent attraction. The first point is about housing. Subsidies, the next one is to provide money, and the last one is supported employment.”
Qingshu nodded in agreement: "Now our Tianqi salary is the highest among all countries. I believe that this high amount of revenge will have a fatal new attraction for all countries."
"After all, we are an island country, and we are extremely lacking in both talent and resources."
