Sun changed the subject and said in a low voice: "Priest Su, you should pay attention to Shanghou Rongjun from now on, he has some opinions about you"
Su Ze smiled and said, "Oh, I don't remember, when did I offend him? If it was because of the grudge between him and Deputy Governor Yuan, that would be so funny. I am doing my best for the country, not for the Yuan family, not for the Yuan family. For the Kong family!"
Speaking of this, Su Ze also felt a little angry.
Kong Zhang was unhappy with him, and Su Ze knew it. That's entirely because of Yuan En. Because of those things that Su Ze "informed", Yuan En achieved great military exploits. And it was strange that Kong Zhang, who had always been at odds with him, felt comfortable. As a knowledgeable person about those equipment, Su Ze was naturally angered.
Damn it, if you, Kong Zhang, are unhappy, just go find trouble with Yuan En. Coming here to vent your anger on me, what the hell is that? Is it possible to treat me as a soft persimmon?
Sun smiled slightly, shook his head and said: "Master Priest, the conflict between Kong Zhang and Yuan En is only a small factor. The main problem is that your [Rendao Food Group] blocks their way"
Then, he began to explain.
It turns out that the Kong family is the largest military food supplier in the empire. The military food they supply accounts for almost 70% of all the food required by the army.
But Su Ze’s [Rendao Food Group] burst out of nowhere and grabbed a large share of the market. So far, the Kong family's market share has shrunk by one-third, and this is only a few months ago. If it continues to unfold, I don’t know what it will look like.
It is better to destroy someone's wealth than to kill their parents.
The Kong family was naturally very angry, but because of Su Ze's status, he and the emperor paid more attention to him. They didn't dare to make any drastic moves, but it was impossible to expect them to look good on Su Ze.
"What? You said that food merchants such as Guixiang Garden and Qingyun Garden are all owned by the Kong family?" Su Ze was stunned.
Sun nodded and said: "Yes, that's rightthe proprietors behind these well-known food manufacturers are all the Kong family"
"Then why don't they know the brand name of the Kong family? How come the Yunye Kong family is also the grandfather"
Su Ze couldn't help but wonder. It’s not like he didn’t do some research before setting up the Rendao Food Group. Especially for major peers, such as well-known food merchants such as Guixiangyuan and Qingyunyuan, he has investigated all of them. But the apparent proprietors of these businesses were just minor nobles, and they couldn't be seen to be related to the Kong family.
Sun said with a sarcastic face: "Haha, the chief priest doesn't know something The Confucius family has always been like this, they are used to being hypocritical. On the surface, they claim to be the ancestor of Confucianism, and they pay more attention to justice than profit, but behind the scenes, as long as It’s a matter of making money, so what can’t they do? These food merchants on the surface are just their agents.”
He went on to say a lot of bad things about the Kong family.
"I see" Su Ze nodded.
I couldn’t help but feel depressed. I didn’t expect to offend the Kong family unintentionally. However, he didn't regret such a thing. This is just normal business competition. If you don't want to offend others, you have no choice but to make no money. But how is this possible?
"Hmph, I never thought that the Kong family is so hypocritical" Later, after hearing about the bad things about the Kong family, Su Ze couldn't help but sigh.
He was thinking of the Confucius Mansion on Earth. The Yunye Confucius of this world is similar to the Qufu Confucius of the earth. They are both so-called after Confucius.
"However, anyone who knows a little bit about history will know what a bird's egg thing this Qufu Kong Mansion is. The performance of this family in history has put Confucius' face beyond the solar system. If Confucius knew better, he would definitely crawl out of the grave and beat these unscrupulous descendants to death.
????????? That’s all the things in their hometown where they were domineering, taking advantage of others, and living in a land of fish and meat. In history, no matter where the invader was, whether it was the Jurchens, Mongols, Manchus, or Japan as long as they invaded the country and took advantage. This group of shameless people immediately wiped their faces and jumped ship to join the enemy.
During the Anti-Japanese War, Chairman Chiang may have known about the "excellent" traditions of this family, so he took the head of the family away early. Otherwise, I'm afraid it wouldn't be as simple as inviting a few Japanese war criminals to a banquet, and embarrassing things would happen. For example, a congratulatory statement to celebrate Japan's conquest of Nanjing is not an exaggeration. Because historically, they have done this kind of thing more than once. Family origins.
Of course, the Yunye Kong family in this world is not that shameless, and of course it may be that they don’t have that chance. Because the Han Empire here has been very strong since the founding of the country. It is not as unlucky as the Earth Kingdom,This time we encountered the disaster of destroying our country.
"However, although they have not done any big shameless things, they have done a lot of second-level bad things. For example, there are countless things like plundering, fish and meat land, etc.
Of course, these things have nothing to do with Su Ze. He doesn’t want to be a savior, nor is he the kind of passionate young man who only has a sense of justice in his mind. Besides, even if he wanted to uphold justice, he didn't have the ability.
You must know that the terrifying power of the Yunye Kong family in this world is far from comparable to that of the Qufu Kong family on earth. The two are not of the same order of magnitude at all.
Because the Yunye Kong family's family status is "Shang Duke", or "Guo Gong". They have their own principality - Yunye Principality.
Yes, it is a country, a quite complete country!
Although the Yunye Principality belongs to the Han Empire, it is basically a highly separatist country. It has independent internal political power and judicial power, and also has its own army, but it is subject to certain restrictions on religion and diplomacy.
This principality is located in the northeast of Yangzhou in the Han Empire, at the junction with the Elf Empire. It covers an area of ??more than 35,000 miles, about the same size as Hainan Island. The population is about 4.5 million people.
The Rongjun Shanghou Kongzhang who became Su Ze’s neighbor was a branch of their family.
"Master officiant, there is one more thing. I must let you know that the main purpose of Kong Zhang's move to Yizhou this time is to be crowned king in the future" Sun smiled and dropped another bombshell.
"What? Make the king?" Su Ze was stunned and said, "They want to make the king, what does it have to do with me?"
Sun smiled and explained: "Haha, of course it does matter If they want to be crowned king, the original territory of Yunye Kingdom is obviously not enough. The Black Cherry Forest area in the west of Yizhou is their first choice. And yours Where is the territory? Do you think there will be any conflicts? One mountain cannot accommodate two tigers. Where is the church headquarters of His Highness Siming? Do you think they will have a good sleep?"
"" Hearing this, Su Ze couldn't help but have a headache.
The current twenty ranks of nobles in the Han Empire, and the higher ranks are basically direct blood descendants or side branches of the true gods. In addition, although the title of the Han Empire was called the twentieth rank, the highest title was "Shang Duke", or "Guo Gong".
But above this, there is also a first-level title. Therefore, the de facto title of the empire is actually 21st degree.
The rank above the twenty ranks is the "King's rank".
There are two types of "royal titles". One is the "prince" named by the princes. This kind of royal title has no title and cannot be hereditary, so it is an empty sign. The other type is the "vassal king", which is a king who owns a large number of fiefdoms, officially establishes a vassal state, and is isolated in the south. This is equivalent to the vassal kings in the Warring States Period.
The power of the "vassal king" is extremely great. As long as it is his own territory, it can be said that he is no different from the emperor.
However, one must be a "direct blood descendant of a true god", and must be a true god with a level of divine power or above, in order to be qualified to obtain the title of "vassal king". Of course, just having bloodline is not enough, you also need to have enough merit. But if you don’t have blood, you won’t be able to become a “vassal king” even if you have extraordinary achievements.
The Han Dynasty on earth is "no one will be king unless he is Liu", but the Han Empire here is "no king unless he is descended from God".
In addition, the lowest title requirement for Jianguo is Marquis, but if you are a non-god noble, you are not qualified to found Jianguo
There are more than fifty true gods in the current Chinese divine system, and there are more than fifty families with direct descendants of the gods. These direct divine families are all great nobles, at least all are marquises, and they are marquises who have established marquises.
The current Han Empire consists of one kingdom, fifteen principalities, and more than thirty princely states.
The current public family of Yunye Kong is a principality, and they also want to move up a step and become a kingdom.
After Sun left, Su Ze discussed it with several subordinates.
"My lord, I feel that the Sun family seems to be trying to sow discord between us and the Kong family" Wu Nai expressed his opinion first.
Although he is a samurai, he is not the kind of fool who only has muscles in his brain.
Su Ze nodded: "Of course I can see that too. However, what he said is true. If the Kong family wants to grab territory, they will definitely not be kind to us."
"Classmate Su Ze is not a young boy. In addition, after entering the golden elixir stage, his intelligence has soared. How can he not see the reason for Sun's obvious instigation?
But provocation is provocation, but the fact is that it is just that. If the Kong family wants to control the western part of Yizhou, Su Ze and the Siming Church will be a stone that cannot be bypassed. Although they dare not use drastic measures openly,?But there will certainly be many stabbings and stumbling blocks in the back.
Shui Yi, the steward, said worriedly: "My lord, the backstage of the Kong family is a real god"
Su Ze said coldly: "I know that the Yunye Kong family is a direct descendant of the gods, but it's fine if they don't offend me, but if they offend me, I won't give them face. I can Not so easy to bully" {Piaotia Literature www.piaotia.net thanks all book friends for their support, your support is our greatest motivation}
