After interpenetrating with Lord Hou, he became addicted to house fighting

Chapter 375

Rong An's expression changed several times, "So, the Queen Mother's plan is really big!"

Rong Zhan shook his head and sighed, "She wanted to contact the surrounding countries to support her, so she sent someone to steal the privacy of the royal houses of each country.

"And the private affairs of high-ranking officials. Including all kinds of gossip."

Rong An couldn't help being stunned, "She... She has such a means, and she used it to do such a thing?"

Shouldn't we take the opportunity to steal military and political secrets and find loopholes for major events?

Rong Zhan laughed: "Master Hou thinks the Queen Mother has lofty aspirations? You are wrong! Her purpose is only limited to the territory of Dazhou!

"As long as she has an obedient emperor under her command, as long as she can secure her position, and as long as the Chen family can prosper, she is willing to cede part of the country in exchange!"

"Short-sighted!" Rong An couldn't help cursing, "Disaster for the country and the people!"

Empress Dowager Chen grasped the privacy of others, grabbed them by the braids, just to threaten them to help her when necessary!

Rong Zhan sighed, "So such a person is absolutely impossible to achieve what he wants."

This time, Rong An finally understood why the three of the Chu family were imprisoned in Cishan.

Thinking of this, I can't help asking: "How about the iron ore reserves in Cishan?"

Rong Zhan shook his head, "Cishan didn't fall under the Queen Mother's control from the very beginning.

"About 50 years ago, a direct descendant of the Chen family came here to be an official. He found out that someone was mining privately and thought it was profitable, so he discussed with the owner of the family.

"Slowly taking Cishan into my hands, at first it was just making a small fuss to make a profit.

"Later, the Empress Dowager gave birth to the idea of ​​cultivating a new emperor, and the Chen family began to re-plan.

"Cishan occupies a large area, and the central part should have been hollowed out. After more than [-] years of operation, it should not be underestimated."

Rong An frowned, "Zhan Lao, with your ability, you can't know the internal situation?"

Rong Zhan shook his head, "Don't talk about me, even the three members of the Chu family who have personally entered Cishan can't tell the whole picture.

"Basically, Chu Daru and his brothers could not leave the courtyard where they were confined, but Chu Zhiwen was able to, but every time he was taken away, he was blindfolded.

"The Chen family has worked hard for 50 years, and almost all the villagers within a hundred miles around Cishan are under their control. We can save people with a lot of trouble, but we need to plan carefully if we want to break Cishan."

"How are the villagers controlled by them?" Rong An was puzzled.

Rong Zhan explained: "Where did the Chen family get so many people to mine iron ore and smelt iron?
"Of course we can search for talents everywhere, but those who really do the hard work have to hire local people.

"The wages paid by the mine far exceed the income from farming, so most of the local young and strong volunteered to work spontaneously, and most of the people who stayed to farm were the old, the weak, women and children.

"And those young and strong wages were not brought home by themselves.

"Often once they entered Cishan, they never went out again, their wages were settled every three months, and someone sent them home.

"I can still send a book home in half a year.

"Because the wages are considerable, even if the family misses them, they are not willing to go back.

"Once there is a change, these laborers who entered the mountain will become hostages to threaten their families.

"Master Hou, no matter how brave you are, it's still hard for you to attack the weak, old, weak, women and children, right?"

Rong An clenched his fists and his face was gloomy.

The queen mother, the Chen family, is too hard-working!
