Chapter 197

"He won't have time to bother you then! How great! How great!"

"Eh?"

Xun Cai was slightly stunned upon hearing this: "Wouldn't that be bad? Wouldn't it be too early?"

"That's right!"

Zhen Jiang, who was on the side, also echoed: "If he has to bear heavy studies at 3 years old, it would be too much!"

Usually, children start enlightenment at four or five years old, right?

"It's not early!"

Su Xuan shook his head and said: "This brat is smart! His physical development is also fast, and he is very sturdy;"

"If he doesn't receive education early, I'm worried he will grow up crooked;"

"If he really becomes a playboy by then, don't regret it!"

How could he not know his own cub?

Xun Cai and Zhen Jiang looked at each other upon hearing this and stopped talking.

Indeed, rather than waiting for him to become a playboy in the future, it is better to educate him early.

"Then everything will be done according to what you said, Husband!"

Xun Cai sighed slightly.

At the same time, she mourned for Su Ping for a second in her heart.

Cherish your few remaining happy childhood days!

The next morning.

Su Xuan rarely gathered all his civil and military officials at the General's Mansion for a meeting.

When everyone arrived, Su Xuan looked around and said: "I called you here today because I received news from Luoyang yesterday that His Majesty passed away yesterday."

"Wow!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the civil and military officials were in an uproar.

"No way?"

"He really passed away. The Lord's calculation was really accurate!"

"Then why didn't the Lord call us yesterday?"

"It's obviously out of consideration for us! Stupid!"

"..."

Everyone couldn't help but discuss.

At this time, Xi Zhicai stood up and bowed to Su Xuan: "Since that's the case, My Lord, we should also start preparing!"

"The real chaotic world is coming!"

"Not bad!"

Xun You, Tian Feng, Guo Jia, and others also nodded one after another.

"Hmm!"

Su Xuan nodded affirmatively: "Preparation is certain!"

"But it will probably be a few months before the real chaos;"

"Next, it should be the struggle between General-in-Chief He Jin and the Lord Yuan Clan against the eunuchs;"

"Luoyang will be very chaotic, but the world won't be truly chaotic yet;"

"The real chaos will only begin after the dust settles on the infighting in Luoyang!"

"However, grain, military equipment, and various materials that need to be purchased can already be purchased and collected on a large scale!"

"This is the last chance!"

"Once the real chaotic world arrives, it won't be easy to find such a good opportunity again!"

"So..."

Having said this, Su Xuan looked at Xi Zhicai, Cheng Yu, Tian Feng, Su Yu, Su Yi, and others and instructed: "This matter will be handled by Zhicai, Zhongde, Tian Yuanhao, Second Brother, and Fourth Brother!"

"Any objections?"

"No! We obey!"

Xi Zhicai and the others immediately accepted the order.

"In addition,"

At this time, Su Xuan looked at Su Yu and Su Yi: "Second Brother, Fourth Brother, next you must gradually transfer the Su Clan Trading House storefronts in various prefectures and counties, moving from the open to the hidden;"

"Try to hide them all as much as possible, developing and trading in secret, understand?"

"When the real chaotic world comes, it won't be so simple if we want to do business openly in various places!"

"If things go wrong, it is very likely that they will directly confiscate our properties in other prefectures and counties!"

"Therefore, we must prevent this from happening in advance."

He would not give the future warlords this opportunity.

He never underestimated the shamelessness of those warlords and scholar-clans.

It is stupid to hope that others will follow the rules.

"Hmm!"

Su Yu and Su Yi nodded in unison.

Su Yu said: "A few years ago, Big Brother, you gave similar instructions!"

"Therefore, the Su Clan Trading House has always been composed of two systems, open and hidden;"

"Since the time has come, it is very simple to transfer the open business to the hidden;"

"Give me three to five months, and it will be completed!"

"We should still have this much time, right?"

Su Xuan nodded affirmatively: "Naturally! It won't be a big problem to complete it before March next year!"

"Of course, the sooner it is completed, the better!"

"This is more conducive to the lurking of the secret trading house."

Business still has to be done.

If you don't do it, where will the money come from?

In the future, he will have to support hundreds of thousands of troops and govern and develop Jingzhou or even a larger territory.

There are many places where money is needed!

How much money can you earn just by relying on the consumption of the common people and scholar-clans in your own territory?

Ninety percent of the world's money is in the hands of the scholar-clans and powerful families.

"I understand! I will complete it as soon as possible!"

Su Yu breathed a sigh of relief and nodded in understanding.

In Luoyang,

It was extremely lively and tense at this time.

First, He Jin led troops to attack the imperial city, wanting to rescue his sister and nephew and support his nephew to take the throne.

And by the way, eliminate the eunuch forces.

He was unstoppable all the way, successfully broke through the imperial city, and beheaded Sun Jian Shuo, the Colonel of the Upper Army.

It was just that in the end, Zhang Rang and the others begged Empress He.

"Empress! Please save us! We concealed the news of the passing of the Son of Heaven just to protect ourselves!"

"Please, Empress, look at the care and help we gave you back then, and plead with the General-in-Chief to let us go!"

"Besides, even if not for us, for your own sake, Empress, and for Imperial Prince Bian, you should protect us!"

"After all, we eunuchs are destined to rely on imperial power;"

"Only when imperial power exists do we exist!"

"And Imperial Prince Bian is the only candidate for the new emperor;"

Having said this, Zhang Rang saw that Empress He was moved, so he struck while the iron was hot and continued: "Besides, if you really let the General-in-Chief lead troops to eliminate us eunuchs, who can you and the future new emperor rely on and command in this palace and court?"

"The General-in-Chief?"
