The third thunder that Jia Qiang said was no worse than the first two, and it was even more important!

At that time, the ninth prince of the Supreme Emperor, Prince Yixiang, was so powerful that the other princes had no power to fight back.

Almost everyone believes that he will become the deposed Prince Yizhong and another wise prince.

The Cao Gang had already achieved some success at that time and was planning a great development. When he met the Prince of Yixiang, Li Xiangzhi, the Ministry of Political Work, and was in charge of the Hebei Affairs Affairs. As the leader of the Cao Gang, Ding Hao naturally had to do his best!

If you want someone to give him a boat, you should give him a boat, and you should be polite to have the wealth of the Cao Gang and serve the wise king.

Afterwards, the Cao Gang did indeed develop to a certain extent.

Even though Li Xiang failed to fight for the throne later, with the Supreme Emperor there, Emperor Long'an never said that he would settle the matter...

But Ding Hao knew in his heart that Prince Yixiang was powerful back then, so there was no problem for him to serve him, but at that time, Emperor Long'an was still Prince Lian and was in the Ministry of Revenue.

The Ministry of Revenue is the head office of the Cao Gang.

He did not go to Prince Lian's mansion to show his respect, but instead ran to Prince Yixiang's mansion to show his respect...

Isn’t this a beating Prince Lian, or the face of Emperor Long'an today?

Ding Hao understood in his heart that the more noble a person is, the less willing the people below will be tolerated against the dignity!

If it weren't for this matter, how could Emperor Long'an think of Lin Ruhai's assassination to the Cao Gang?

Seeing Ding Hao's face pale and cold sweats flowing down, Jia Qiang chuckled twice and said, "You are a gang in the martial arts world who have accumulated a group of coolies to start a business, and just curry favor with the governor of the canal transportation, and just want to stand in a team to fight for the throne... Gang leader Ding, this marquis always thought that the son was a little expert who could commit suicide. It turned out that this can be passed down from you."

When Ding Hao heard this, he didn't know what to say, but just smiled bitterly.

Since ancient times, if you want to be big on this land, how can you not stand in a row?

It's a pity that he just stood in the wrong team.

If you stand in the wrong team, it is a fatal mistake, and you should have paid a fatal price!

Fortunately, the Supreme Emperor abdicated to Emperor Long'an alive, and many things will remain unchanged when the Supreme Emperor is alive.

On the one hand, Ding Hao hopes that the Supreme Emperor can live long live long and thus keep the Cao Gang safe.

On the other hand, he tried his best to strengthen the Cao Gang, hoping to develop the Cao Gang into a giant that even the court feared, and could not move easily before the death of the Supreme Emperor.

After all, the entire Shenjing City relies on the canal transportation to maintain its vitality. The canal transportation is cut off, and chaos will occur in the entire Shenjing and Dayan.

Unfortunately, the time given by God is not enough.

Even though he has tried his best to develop the Cao Gang over the years, and the number of gangs has exceeded 400,000, it is still far from enough!

Unless the Cao Gangs can exceed one million and have strong strength and two hundred thousand, it will be far from the point where the court dares not take ruthless measures.

Furthermore, because the annexation has been too fast in recent years, the internal digestion is not complete, and factions are everywhere, it is difficult to achieve the level of orders being enforced.

In short, if the court really makes up its mind to destroy the Cao Gang, the Cao Gang will not be able to escape death.

Ding Hao sighed and said, "Mr. Ning Hou, even when he talks, he is so scared that I sweated coldly and was frightened. What conditions do you have? Why not be straightforward? Anyone who can agree will have no other words. If you can't agree, I can't do anything."

Jia Qiang smiled and said, "I never be arrogant or self-righteous. You said that this marquis is using his power, so you are not wrong. But, whether the matter is true or not, you must have a clear idea of ​​whether it is true or not. Otherwise, with your status in the world, you will not be scared and be so scared. Since that's the case, I will say bluntly. If you are standing in the wrong team, this marquis will have a way to make a mistake for you and not become a death disaster. It has not been a day or two for you to enter the capital. I have already explored the foundation of this marquis. If I can do this, you should believe it?"

Ding Hao nodded and said slowly: "Ning Hou is the beloved disciple of Minister Lin and his future son-in-law. Minister Lin is the important minister of the emperor who is like a fish in water. Who doesn't know? Besides, Ning Hou is also the son-in-law of the mother's niece recognized by the Empress. The Yin family loves the evil prince, and they can't hide it from the world. With these two, Ning Hou can naturally speak in front of the emperor."

Jia Qiang shook his head and said, "It's not only that, you still haven't found out. The famous Duke of Banshan, Han Bin, who is currently the governor of Liangjiang, still owes me a favor. With these three points, if this Duke wants to do evil, it may not be difficult to protect the Ding family."

Ding Hao asked again: "What does the Marquis want?"

Jia Qiang still refused to answer, but said, "What this marquis wants is not a contradiction with how Gang Master Ding solves the problem. Gang Master Ding, don't think that the emperor is such a shallow person. His holy heart is as good as the sky, so how could he hate the Cao Gang for the sake of the past? Gang Master Ding wouldn't think that the court is full of stupid monarchs and ministers? Do you really think that they can't see that your Cao Gang gathers hundreds of thousands of people, control the canal, manage the canal, and want to control the lifeline of the capital?"

Ding Hao's old face turned pale again and said in a deep voice: "Mr. Ning, how dare the Cao Gang recognize such words? The Cao Gang are all acting under the supervision and governance of the Cao Transport Governor's Office and the River Governor's Office. How can you have such delusions?"

Jia Qiang sneered and said, "There are more than 400,000 canal workers in the Cao Gang. There are many dragons and snakes in the gang. They are domineering along the banks of the canal. They are known as the largest gang in the world. Who dares to manage the city? Does the old gang leader think that this marquis is a foolish seed that grows in a wealthy countryside, so he deceives me and doesn't understand the world? Now, the Cao Gang Gang 400,000 can't control those county corpses, and the government offices dare not control them. When the Cao Gang develops over one million people, I am afraid that even the court will be afraid of the rats! The Cao Gang's affairs can be hidden from others and the embroidered guards? I don't know how to live or die, but I think it can deceive the will of heaven?

Ding Hao, I will tell you clearly that even without the Jingling case, your Cao Gang will never be able to survive like this! Today, the sage and heroes are very talented and endured you for several years. Do you think they will continue to indulge you? A gang gathers 400,000 people, sets up a strict gang structure, and even sets up a private punishment hall, hiding swords and guns. How many people have been killed in the fight in the martial arts world? How can you be rampant in this glorious era?!"

When the Ding family father and son heard this, they felt that Jia Qiang had spread the flesh and blood on their bodies layer by layer, revealing their hearts, leaving their hidden thoughts nowhere to hide.

After speaking up, Jia Qiang took another sip of tea, moistened his throat, and said lightly: "I have explained everything I should say. Next, I will tell you what I think is the way to rescue me, which is what I want. If you want to believe me, please listen. If you don't want to believe me, I think I can't afford it, that's fine."

When the Ding family heard this, they hurriedly raised their spirits and said, "Mr. Ning, please speak!"

Jia Qiang said lightly: "The reason why the imperial court was afraid of the Cao Gang was that it believed that the Cao Gang was the only one on the canal. The Cao Gang continued to grow bigger. Once one day the strike or had some thoughts that should not have been done, it would be a disaster in an instant! Therefore, the Cao Gang had to divide some people and ships, completely separate from the Cao Gang, establish a second Cao Gang, and survive with the Cao Gang. In this way, the court could have a check and balance method, and could only be reluctant to let go."

When the Ding family father and son heard this, their faces looked ugly and looked at Jia Qiang like they had eaten a dead fly.

I have seen something ugly in my eyes, but I have never seen something ugly in my eyes!

After talking about it for a long time, this "second-generation member of the Ministry of Revenue" turned out to be targeting the Cao Gang.

The Governor of the Cao Transport and the Governor of the River were just greedy for some silver or antique calligraphy and paintings. This disciple and son-in-law of the Ministry of Revenue actually wanted to remove the Cao Gang from his skin and bones and swallow half of it!

It's outrageous!!

Seeing that the Ding family father and son looked so ugly, Jia Qiang understood it in his heart. He smiled and said, "Don't underestimate me. The Cao Gang family business is not greedy. I can't ask for a few ships, mainly to have a group of veterans, and there are also men."

As soon as this said, the Ding family father and son were frightened. Ding Chao was even more afraid and shook his head repeatedly and said, "Marty, you should let me go. I really can't afford to provoke me!"

Jia Qiang shook his head and said, "The Cao Gang seems huge, but it is actually big and unsuitable, and it is too bloated. There are too many messy hills inside, and there are more messy people. No matter how many such people are, they cannot cooperate sincerely, and they will only lead each other to make trouble. If you give this marquis, I dare not ask for it. That's why I want to start a new job. But on the canal, the people of the Cao Gang know the best about the Cao Gang. Although your son is bold and self-righteous, he is extremely smart. You have to agree to this matter, and you have to agree to it if you don't agree.

Furthermore, don’t you want to find a real way for the Cao Gang?”

Ding Chao swallowed and asked, "What, what is the real way to live?"

Jia Qiang shouted and said, "Sea Transport!"

“Sea transportation?”

The faces of the Ding father and son looked a little ugly.

If you say the words that the Cao Gang people hate to hear the most, the word "sea transportation" is definitely ranked among the top three.

In their opinion, once the maritime transportation is prospered, the canal transportation will inevitably be abolished. What else do they eat?

Jia Qiang nodded and said, "That's right, it's sea freight. Sea freight is the general trend, and there is no doubt. Nowadays, transporting one stone of rice into Beijing requires a cost of nearly two or three stones of rice. How ridiculous? The cost of sea freight is more than twice as low as that of canal. The larger the sea freight, the lower the cost! Under this general trend, who can stop the prosperity of sea freight?"

Ding Hao said in a deep voice: "The cost of shipping is low, so it must be transported to the shore! The sea is windy and dangerous, if you are not careful, the ship will be destroyed and people will die, and thousands of stones of food will sink to the bottom of the sea! Only then will you know the cost."

Jia Qiang smiled and said, "Old Gang Master Ding, you are a wise man. The canal is always calm? Is there no rules to follow? Above the rivers, it is not just cheap to transport grain every day? The same is true for the sea. As long as you understand the rules, the possibility of capsizing is extremely small!"

Seeing Ding Hao's face low, he said strangely: "I am a little confused. The sea transportation is still blank and no one takes it. Why does the Cao Gang just suppress and block it and not occupy it? Although most of you are river boats, boatmen are always more adaptable to sea life than ordinary people? The Cao Transport Pier needs a laborer, so is it not necessary for the sea transportation Pier? Besides, don't just think about fighting in the nest. Those Westerners can drive ships to Dayan thousands of miles to come to Dayan. We Dayan's boats have not thought about going to their territory merchants to visit?"

When Ding Hao heard this, he pulled the corner of his mouth and said, "Ning Hou, the little old man is just a coolie who relies on his strength to make a living. If he had such a capable person, he would not have done this job!"

Jia Qiang smiled and said, "What you said makes sense. I know you don't have this position, but I have it! I can also teach Ding Chao this position. After all, I can't go on a boat in person. Once sea transportation and sea trade emerge, it will inevitably require a large number of people. These are the future survival place for the Cao Gang. It will not be that after the Cao Gang's failure, the Cao Gang has nowhere to survive.

Actually, there is no need to be a treacherous leader. Think about it, how many people do you want to be grandsons of this Cao Gang? How many people will be given to on a canal? Why do you suffer from this? Of course, after you have a million people, you may be much better. But by then, there will be no big difference between you and the rebels who are respectful of the troops. Moreover, there are many people who are mixed with dragons and snakes in the Cao Gang, and there are not many who are thinking about the position of the Cao Gang leader? You were in the wrong team before and are now involved in the Jingling case. Will anyone attack after returning, or will they simply disobey the commander of the Cao Gang?

If the roots are rotten, you will be unable to make up for it even if you fix them. It is better to start the stove again, remove the essence, and do another job.

As long as you and your father agree, this crisis of the Cao Gang will be resolved by you.

If you don't agree, it doesn't matter. This marquis doesn't mind standing on the corpse of your Cao Gang and setting up another Cao Gang.

The Ding family disagreed, and there were also Sun families, Zhao families and Wang families in the Cao Gang.

You guys are so kind to do it!"

...

Daming Palace, in the Heart-Surviving Palace.

After hearing about the Jingling case, Empress Yin was also worried and came here to see and comfort Emperor Long'an.

After hearing what Emperor Long'an said, he was also a little shocked and said, "Is it really related to the canal transportation?"

Emperor Long'an said lightly: "It may not be all here. Assassinating Lin Ruhai can kill my right-hand man, destroy my prestige, and hit me. But with this alone, Zhao Dongshan cannot do this. Under the strict surveillance of the Embroidered Guard, how could the people behind it be simple? It just so happened that Lin Ruhai had just submitted a memorial to discuss the matter of shipping with me and military opportunities. How could there be such a coincidence in the world? If they only attack me and kill my wings, why should they wait until today?"

Queen Yin said in confusion: "Just start a shipping route, and the people in the shipping route hate this, and dare to take the blame for the world and assassinate the emperor's beloved minister?"

Emperor Long'an shook his head and said, "The Empress doesn't know how much silver the imperial court invests in the canal every year. Not to mention anything else, the rivers of the 3,000-mile canal will be repaired, and in the years without disaster, it will cost millions of taels. It also requires so many canal workers, canals, so many rivers, and officials of the canal transport yamen invest millions of taels of silver every year. This is only counted as the imperial court. The rice bought by the people in the capital is more than 30% more than Jiangnan, and every tael is 30% more expensive. How much more is it expensive for more than four million stones a year? How many people will they fatten up the expensive silver?"

After hearing this, Yin Hou understood and finally asked, "Will you save this by shipping?"

Emperor Long'an chanted and said, "It's more than that. The water transportation takes three or four months to travel by water, while the sea transportation only takes half a month to 20 days. This alone is much better than the water transportation. However, it's not too time yet, and the involvement is too wide, and I have to act carefully... Let's not mention this matter, I have to rest early tonight, I'm exhausted. Zi Tong, I'll go to your place tonight, come, please help me to read these memorable and important and ordinary ones. There are also those memorials that the supervisors and ministers ask for peace, put aside... A group of officials in the border areas have been talking about some unscrupulous things all day long to bother me, which is simply unreasonable."

Queen Yin was stunned when she heard this and hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, I am a person from the harem. How can I read the memorial?"

Emperor Long'an smiled and said, "It's not that you want you to review it, but that you just want you to help me separate it. The queen has always helped me a lot. It's okay. From now on, no one can restrain me. I'll talk to me and the queen!"

Looking at Emperor Long'an's faintly arrogant look, Queen Yin felt that this was the real emperor!

He asked the eunuch to bring a chair next to the imperial desk. Yin Hou gently opened a memorial, and his slender phoenix eyes gradually became brighter.

On the side, Emperor Long'an saw it, squinted his eyes and smiled.
