Bringing the farm to another world

Chapter 14648 Advice (Part )

"Your Majesty, the prince wants to see you." Decai bowed to Zuoqiu Wen and said. Zuoqiu Wen was reading a report. When he heard Decai's report, he said without raising his head, "Let him in." Decai responded and then invited Zuoqiu Zheng into Zuoqiu Wen's study.

Zuoqiu Zheng bowed to Zuoqiu Wen and said, "Greetings to the Emperor, may the Emperor be well and safe." Zuoqiu Wen waved his hand and said, "Get up and sit down." Zuoqiu Zheng responded and then sat down. Then Zuoqiu Wen handed a report in his hand to Zuoqiu Wen and said, "Take a look at this." Although it was called a report, it was actually in the form of a memorial. Zuoqiu Zheng responded and took the memorial.

Zuo Qiuzheng was stunned when he saw the content above, because it was about wanting to trade goods with Zhan Yuanxing. He saw that the person who submitted the memorial was from a middle-class family. Zuo Qiuzheng recalled and found that this family did not seem to have participated in the battle against Zhan Yuanxing. He put down the memorial and said, "Father, is this a test?"

Zuo Qiuwen couldn't help but smile when he heard him say that, and then said: "Not bad, you have improved. I can tell at a glance that it is a test. However, this is a test, hahahaha, isn't it interesting? Those guys still refuse to give up against Yuan Xing, what do you think?"

Zuo Qiuzheng said: "We have already made arrangements for the trade with Zhan Yuan Star. We will station some large cargo ships outside Zhan Yuan Star, and then send people to contact the people on Zhan Yuan Star to trade, and we will not irritate the people on Zhan Yuan Star."

Zuoqiu Wen nodded and said, "Okay, as long as you are prepared." After that, he threw the memorial aside. Then he turned to Zuoqiu Zheng and said, "What's the matter with you coming here today?" Zuoqiu Wen was very curious about what Zuoqiu Zheng came to see him about.

Zuo Qiuzheng said, "Father, this is what happened. Yesterday I welcomed Zhao Hai and wanted to ask him how we should develop next. I wanted to see what he was capable of. He made a suggestion. He suggested that I strongly support those people who were sent out, let them develop, cultivate them into new families, and then let them fight against those old families. We, the royal family, will mediate in the middle. If one of their sides becomes stronger, we will attack that side, so that they are in a state of balance. He also said that the development of the empire is a bit biased. Now we have reached a balance with those big families, which is wrong. We need to introduce a force and the three parties reach a balance. Only then will the empire be truly stable."

Zuo Qiuzheng looked at Zuo Qiuwen after he finished speaking, and Zuo Qiuwen was stunned when he heard his words. Then his face changed and he continued, "Tell me in detail." Zuo Qiuzheng responded and told Zuo Qiuwen in detail what Zhao Hai said last night.

Zuo Qiuwen couldn't help but stand up after hearing what Zuo Qiuzheng said, stomping his feet in the room and saying, "Not bad, he can actually think of these things, it's really good, this Zhao Hai is really capable, I really didn't expect that he could actually think of this."

Zuoqiu Zheng also stood up at this time and looked at Zuoqiu Wen. Zuoqiu Wen glanced at Zuoqiu Zheng and then said, "Sit down." After that, he also sat down. Zuoqiu Zheng also sat down. Then Zuoqiu Wen said, "In fact, I originally had this plan. Otherwise, I would not have sent them out. They have indeed developed very well in recent years, but they have not yet formed a force."

Zuo Qiuzheng was stunned for a moment, then he nodded and said, "I see, father is very thoughtful and far-sighted, I have never thought of this."

Zuo Qiuwen said in a deep voice: "This is also a method I have come up with over the years. I originally thought that one day in the future, I would tell you this method. If I fail to do it, I will let you continue to do it. But I didn't expect that Zhao Hai would tell you directly. This Zhao Hai is really amazing, and his strength is definitely not simple, amazing."

Zuoqiu Zheng lowered his head and said nothing. Zuoqiu Wen continued, "Now, all the important positions in the court are controlled by those big families. The strength of those big families is indeed very strong. Even if I want to move them, it is difficult. If I don't move them, there will be no way to vacate those important positions in the court. If the important positions in the court are not vacant, there will be no way to transfer those people who are sent out. If they can't be transferred back, there will be no way to have greater power, and there will be no way to fight against those big families. So this is also a difficult problem. If this problem is not solved, it will be really difficult for them to have the power to fight against those big families." When Zuoqiu Zheng heard what Zuoqiu Wen said, he was also stunned for a moment, and then he immediately said, "I see, kid, I understand."

Zuo Qiuwen smiled and said, "Why don't you talk to Zhao Hai about this matter today and see if he has any ideas. He is indeed a very capable person. You should use him well. If you use him well, he will definitely be a great help to you in the future."

Zuoqiu Zheng responded, and Zuoqiu Wen waved his hand and asked him to go back. Zuoqiu Zheng saluted to Zuoqiu Wen and turned away. After Zuoqiu Zheng left, Zuoqiu Wen breathed a sigh of relief and then said, "Zheng'er is really lucky to have met such a genius. This Zhao Hai is indeed very capable. With him helping Zheng'er, I can rest assured. It seems that Zheng'er will not take too many detours. However, this person must be kept an eye on. If you find anything abnormal about him, tell me immediately." He seemed to be talking to himself, but Decai responded immediately. He knew that Zuoqiu Zheng was talking to him. He did have someone under him who could watch Zhao Hai. In fact, Zuoqiu Wen had some shady things that were done by Decai's men. And Decai's men had a special name, called the Imperial Horse Supervisor.

The Imperial Stables is an institution that has existed for many years. According to legend, it was designed by the royal family when the royal family had not yet left the planet and was still using cold weapons. This institution was an army directly under the royal family and led by eunuchs. However, with the development of the times, it was gradually reduced to a name. But no one knew that this institution had always been preserved in the royal family of the Star Empire. On the surface, this institution helped the royal family and managed the royal gardens, and helped the royal family raise some rare birds and animals that were tributed from other planets. But no one knew that it was actually a secret service agency that was specifically responsible for surveillance, reconnaissance, and assassination tasks for the royal family. It was a very powerful agency that was directly under the royal family, and even many outsiders didn't know about it.

The eunuchs around each generation of emperors are the ones who are in charge of this agency, so the eunuchs around the emperor are the most loyal people. If the emperor dies suddenly one day and does not tell the successor the secret of the Imperial Stables, the eunuchs around the emperor will tell the new emperor the secret. If the emperor and the eunuchs around him are all dead, then the people in the Imperial Stables will also find a way to tell the new emperor about this matter. So over the years, this inheritance has never been broken, and few people know about this. The main reason is that all the people in the Imperial Stables are the most loyal to the royal family. They have no self. From the moment they were born, they have been taught only one thing, that is, they must be ready to die for the royal family at any time. Therefore, no one in the Imperial Stables has ever betrayed the royal family over the years. They can be said to be the deepest poison needle hidden in the hands of the royal family.

On the other side, Zuo Qiu Zheng had already returned to the mansion. After he changed his clothes and entered the study, he called Zhao Hai to the study. As soon as Zhao Hai arrived at the study, Zuo Qiu Zheng looked at Zhao Hai and said, "Sir, I am very curious about what you said yesterday about training those people who were sent out. I would like to hear you talk about it in detail." After that, he looked at Zhao Hai, waiting for Zhao Hai to continue.

Zhao Hai said in a deep voice: "Your Highness, I have said everything I should have said yesterday, and now I have nothing more to say." Zhao Hai would of course not say much, because he had indeed said everything he should have said, and he also knew that Zuoqiu Zheng had gone to the palace. He guessed that Zuoqiu Zheng must have told Zuoqiu Wen about this matter, and what Zuoqiu Zheng was asking now might also be what Zuoqiu Wen asked, so he dared not say anything more, he didn't know what Zuoqiu Wen's attitude towards this matter was.

Zuo Qiuzheng looked at Zhao Hai, and then said in a deep voice: "Sir, do you really have nothing to say? Or do you not understand the situation of the empire, so you dare not say it?" When he said this, he kept looking at Zhao Hai, waiting for Zhao Hai's answer.

Zhao Hai was stunned, then he glanced at Zuo Qiuzheng, and then said: "I really don't know much about the situation in the empire. Your Highness should also know that I have not been in the empire for a long time. The reason why I dared to give you those suggestions before was only based on my observations these days. If your Highness thinks that what I said is wrong, please don't accept it. I am too arrogant."

Zuo Qiuzheng waved his hand and said, "No, it's not your fault. The reason why I asked you if you know about the empire is just to say that if you know about the empire, then you can definitely give me a suggestion. Now I will tell you about the situation in the empire. The method you proposed before to deal with the major families is actually very good. I also want to use it, but now there is a problem, that is, the major families already have their own positions in the court, and their family members can live for a long time because of their training, and they stand in that position, whether it is me or my father, it is not easy to take them down. If they cannot be taken down, then those people who are sent out will have no position. If they have no position, they will not have enough status to confront those big families, so this situation is very troublesome. Even if I want to use the method you mentioned, there is no way to use it. After all, you also know that if you rashly take those big families from their positions, it will be very troublesome. How about it? In this situation, how should I break the deadlock?" Zuo Qiuzheng looked at Zhao Hai. He wanted to hear what Zhao Hai would say. He was really looking forward to it.

Zhao Hai listened to Zuo Qiuzheng's words, he pondered for a moment, then said: "Your Highness, in fact, this situation is very unfavorable to the development of the empire, because the empire can be said to have become a class-based society. In other words, the superiors will always be the superiors, and the people below will never be able to make a breakthrough. This is a major hidden danger."
