The Prodigal Son of the Empire

And in this mansion, there are still many nobles and officials like Xiang being imprisoned.

The families of these people were confiscated, and everyone was locked up here, under strict surveillance, waiting to be released.

"How, are they still alive?"

Wang Kang asked the person in charge here, a 2000-person general named Bai Hong.

"It's okay, just clamoring to see you."

"Okay, take me to see it."

Under the guidance of Bai Hong, Wang Kang came to a courtyard. This is the place where Xiang was detained in this mansion. It was his mansion, but now it only occupies a courtyard.

"I want to see the king of war, I want to see the king of war"

As soon as I approached the gate of the courtyard, I heard someone shouting.

"What are you shouting, the master is here"

Bai Hong said: "This person is Xiang, and they call you the King of War."

Wang Kang entered the courtyard and looked at the person in front of him.

He was about the same age as Xiang Tai, he was slightly stunned when he saw Wang Kang at this moment, and then he knelt down directly.

"Warlord, please let me escape, don't kill me, I'm just a little lord, I'm not worthy of you as a model, kind, you can show mercy to ordinary civilians, can't you show mercy to me?"

Xiang Rushi had a life-saving straw.

"Little Lord?"

Wang Kang raised his eyebrows and said, "The wealth you have accumulated as a lord is much greater than that of a viscount or an earl."

What he said was the truth. When the house was confiscated, the man's wealth surprised him. The accumulation of a lord was much more than those of the high-ranking officials.

"It's yours, it's all yours."

Xiang hurriedly said: "I donate for free, as your military expenses for saving the people from fire and water."

This person is very interesting.

Wang Kang looked at him, his small eyes rolled away, all revealing shrewdness.

He seemed to know what he was going to do.

"Okay, I'll give you a chance to live, but you have to convince me, why should I keep your life?"

Wang Kangrao was very interested.

Xiang's eyes lit up and he hurriedly said: "I trust you, I sincerely trust you"

"There are many people who want to take refuge in me, and there are also many people like you."

"I have never bullied the people of the city."

Xiang said, "Although I am a nobleman, I am a nobleman with a conscience."

"Oh?"

Wang Kang asked with a smile: "You have never bullied the people, where did your wealth come from?"

"Business"

Xiang explained: "I bought top-quality silk, tea, etc. from Zhao State, as well as various products of the Fuyang family, and then sold them to the nobles of Chu State at a high price. The profit difference is quite high. I have no It is necessary to oppress the common people, all I earn is the money of the nobles.”

"I know you. I have known you for a long time. You are the young master of the Fuyang family. You are just an item from the Fuyang Chamber of Commerce. The control is strict. I can only get the goods from the Erdao Vendor, which is very expensive."

"However, it can also be sold, at least three times the profit."

This guy was very excited when he talked about it, and he seemed to have temporarily forgotten his situation.

Wang Kang also understood.

This is equivalent to being a smuggler.

Chu's special political system also made the country closed, which made foreign trade closed.

Most of the commercial activities in China are controlled by the Yulong Chamber of Commerce, one of the three major chambers of commerce in the mainland.

For example, the border between Zhao and Chu has always been tense. Whether it is the Zhao country or the Chu country, the fortifications are very strict, the trade routes are blocked, and the exchange of goods is even more difficult to develop.

And item does it.

He is just a lord, but because of this surname, he is at ease in many ways and has convenience.

This is talent.

Wang Kang made a decision, he has his own shining point.

"It's not enough"

"You need me"

"No, to be precise, you need someone like me"

Item blurted out.

"What's the explanation?"

Wang Kang became more and more interested.

Xiang explained: "I know your thoughts and plots. You want to use public opinion to overthrow Chu."

"However, there are still many nobles in Chu State, and these nobles hold a lot of wealth and strength in their hands. This is a great resistance to you, and I can solve this problem for you. Which nobles can be wooed?" Yes, which nobles must be killed."

"You can't overturn a boat of people with one shot"

Xiang continued: "Most of the country's resources are controlled by the upper class nobles, I think you can understand what I mean."

After saying that, he looked at Wang Kang nervously and added another sentence.

"Besides, there are many things. It is more effective for me to come forward than you to do so."

"interesting."

Wang Kang became more and more interested.

This man could actually see the two routes he was going to take.
