Chapter 921

~5 min read 816 words

Qin Mu had his own plans.

The porcelain firing cooperation was far from as simple as it looked on the surface.

Besides these things entrusted to Xin Qiji, there was actually a deeper intention.

In this cooperation, Great Qin was to occupy ninety percent of the profits!

This was actually a hint.

The Great Tang craftsmen participating in the porcelain firing project would definitely be dissatisfied with this unbalanced profit distribution.

Why should Great Qin earn so much?

Why is Great Tang's manpower not worth money?

The civil and military officials were moved to tears.

After the problem, they would reflect on why they could not be Great Qin people? To enjoy better treatment?

This is the key!

The porcelain firing project was a converter that turned Great Tang people into Great Qin people.

As long as it stood there, it would forever prick the self-esteem of the Great Tang people!

Xin Qiji withdrew.

Yue Fei stepped out of the ranks and reported.

"Your Majesty, I have already transferred Niu Gao to lead ten thousand elites to listen to the orders under Lord Shen Wansan."

This was the matter of establishing the June Alliance.

Although Qin Mu did not personally control every detail, he also gave quite a few instructions.

There is a gold mine in June Mountain, a situation not many people know about.

Even those who know do not know the scale of the gold mine.

In fact, since the Western Han Dynasty, people have been panning for gold here.

But the scale has always been very small, and few people know about it.

Qin Mu, however, knew that the gold mine in June Mountain was actually huge in scale. At least letting fifty thousand people pan for gold at the same time would not be a problem.

Scale is very important!

In this entire plan, it is the key among keys!

"Too few people were given! But let it be; for the lack of manpower, let Shen Wansan find a way himself.

If there are too many soldiers in the army, the June Alliance will lose some of its martial arts world atmosphere, which is unfavorable for establishing prestige in the martial arts world."

Yue Fei's heart was shaken.

The Emperor's two short sentences contained very complex considerations.

He thought several layers more than him!

One cannot help but admire him!

"Your Majesty, the June Alliance is newly established, and I feel I cannot exert much effort. Is there anything else you need me to do?"

"Yes!"

Qin Mu also had high hopes for this June Alliance.

It might become the anchor for the stability of the entire West!

"The climate of June Mountain is not something ordinary people can endure.

You must prepare more cotton clothes, stoves, and coal; before the Mid-Autumn Festival, you must equip at least fifty thousand people's worth!

Also, grain, prepare enough grain for fifty thousand people to eat for half a year!"

Most of the people in the Central Plains have never seen a white disaster.

They do not know the despair of encountering a white disaster in a bitter cold place!

Thousands of miles of snow, even wild beasts freeze to death. People trapped inside cannot walk out and can only sit and eat until the supply is exhausted.

Every time a white disaster occurs, the number of people who freeze or starve to death is not small!

Qin Mu was a little worried that Yue Fei's preparations would be insufficient.

Therefore, he specifically exhorted him again.

"I understand; I will definitely arrange the logistics and supplies sufficiently!"

Yue Fei's insight was not as good as Qin Mu's, but he was also a meticulous and cautious great general.

Otherwise, he would not have achieved the glorious reputation that has been passed down through the ages!

"Your Majesty, there is one more thing. General Qi Jiguang from Liaodong wrote to say that recently, there has been a fortune-teller spouting nonsense, persuading him to split the land and govern himself, and to declare himself king! General Qi suspects that someone is secretly instigating this behind the scenes!"

If it were just a fortune-teller trying to fool people for money and occasionally spouting nonsense out of self-cleverness, that would be one thing.

If someone is secretly instigating it, this matter would be relatively serious.

Because it is absolutely impossible that there is only this one fortune-teller!

Qin Mu took it to heart as soon as he heard it.

"Write back to Qi Jiguang and tell him to play along, first pretending to show ambition for self-reliance. This will hook out the enemy's further intentions!"

"This..."

Yue Fei was completely stunned upon receiving this order.

Since ancient times, what monarchs fear most is local high-ranking officials having the ambition to be self-reliant after gathering both military and political power.

Right now, it is clear that Qi Jiguang is like this.
