Chapter 443 Zhao Yao's Warning

In fact, Zheng Kuan and Zhao Quan are two people with completely different personalities.

It is also two people who have not had any intersection until now.

They are two people who cannot be compared in the same breath!

But Xiao Mo still saw the same thing in these two people.

For example, Zhao Quan is the ruler of the world and has great power in his hands; while Zheng Kuan has always been in charge of the Zheng clan, and he can also be regarded as a figure who dominates one side.

What's more, Zhao Quan's character is a bit cowardly, which can be seen from four years ago when he was frightened by the Liao army and asked for peace!

And what about Zheng Kuan?

It's almost the same. When facing Xiao Mo a few days ago, Zheng Kuan also compromised, willing to be an obedient businessman under Xiao Mo!

That's why Xiao Mo asked Zheng Kuan.

And Zheng Kuan's answer made Xiao Mo very satisfied!
That's right, from Xiao Mo's point of view, Zhao Quan really didn't want to retreat, he wanted to fight!
To put it bluntly, he just wanted to fight for his own reputation after death.

Zhao Quan is the emperor and the king, so he naturally doesn't want to be scolded as a soft-head by the posterity after his death, saying that he is afraid of the Liao Kingdom!
It's just that Xiu Zhi said, Zhao Quan has been silent, so Xiao Mo is not sure if his guess is true!

If the guess is true, then why didn't Zhao Quan stand up and support Li Zhun at this time?

Instead, he left all the pressure on Li Zhun alone!

Xiao Mo couldn't figure it out, so he didn't bother to think about it.

Anyway, I am not in my position now, and I don't plan for politics...

Instead of worrying uselessly here, it's better to take care of the things in front of you, such as... Zheng Kuan's matter!
Xiao Mo asked Zheng Kuan: "Is Mr. Zheng planning to relocate all the Zheng clan to Yizhou?"

Zheng Kuan nodded when he heard the words, and said: "His Royal Highness has already issued an order for this matter, of course this old man must obey..."

Xiao Modao: "It's fine to move the whole family, but Mr. Zheng, what is the order from the imperial court to Fujian this time? How many people will be brought, how many troops, and how many people will be relocated. Surely there must be a clear explanation?"

"I have this too!" Zheng Kuan said, took out the imperial decree, and handed it to Xiao Mo.

Seeing that Zheng Kuan was willing to show him the imperial decree, Xiao Mo nodded in satisfaction, but he didn't go to pick it up, he just said: "Don't look at it, I just remind Mr. Zheng, remember to bring some merchants there, on Yizhou Island, You can also do business!"

As the saying goes, merchants who sell goods, if there are no merchants, where can the goods come from?

So Xiao Mo asked Zheng Broadband businessman to go over!

Zheng Kuan pondered for a while when he heard the words, and then said: "I understand, thank you for your words! I will leave now and go to Fujian to prepare for the migration!"

Xiao Mo said: "That's very good. After arriving in Yizhou, Mr. Zheng must remember to 'treat the barbarians kindly and encourage farmers and merchants'! Also, Xiao Mo will send someone over to deal with the shipping department in the future!"

After the confession, Zheng Kuan left Shen County with his servants and went to Fujian.

After seeing off Zheng Kuan, Xiao Mo asked Xiu Zhiming: "Did the prince read my blueprint?"

The blueprint Xiao Mo mentioned was actually the blueprint of the gunboat. Xiao Mo only drew a rough outline. As long as he wanted Zhao Ziji to propose this idea, he then made a paragraph of explanation, citing the power of the explosives at the station in Cangshan to describe it. The gunboat is awesome!
Xiu Zhiming said: "Have seen it, how dare you fail to handle what Ziheng told you?"

"What did the prince say?"

"It is said that it has been handed over to the Ministry of War..."

Xiao Mo frowned upon hearing this, and then said: "What did Shangshu Cao say?"

Xiu Zhiming said: "It's still under review, Cao Shangshu means that he wants to see the cannon on Ziheng's blueprint!"

"Is that so?" Xiao Mo pondered for a moment, then said: "It seems that Cao Shangshu is worried about me..."

Xiu Zhiming heard the words and said with a smile: "It's no wonder that the things drawn on Ziheng's drawings are really a bit of fantasy... How can those cannons be installed on the ship?"

Xiao Mo said: "The boat is on water and land, why can't it be loaded?"

Asked by Xiao Mo that he didn't know what to say, Xiu Zhiming shook his head and smiled, "Why is Ziheng angry at me, you are angry, just find the person who made you angry!"

"That person is Cao Shangshu!" Xiao Mo glanced at Xiu Zhiming, and then said, "Can I find him?"

After finishing speaking, Xiao Mo sighed, and then left the study somewhat depressed.

If Cao Shangshu refuses to approve the production of running ships, Xiao Mo has nothing to do.

After all, all the ship divisions in the world are still in the hands of the Ministry of War!There is nothing the Ministry of War can do if it does not let go!
When he came to the backyard, Xiao Mo was stunned by the sight in front of him.

I saw Zhao Yao and Yunxue sitting in front of the chessboard, fighting with relish, and around the chessboard, the female family members I added gathered around, watching the two play chess intently!

Zhao Yao and Yun Xue playing chess?
Xiao Mo became interested, and then took a closer look, only to find that Zhao Yao and Yun Xue were actually...

Gobang!
When did they learn it?

Xiao Mo's mood of being affected by the affairs of the Ministry of War and the Shipping Department was immediately forgotten, and he also concentrated on watching Zhao Yao and Yun Xue play chess!

Zhao Yao had a smile on her face, seeing Xiao Mo coming, her eyes lit up, and then the corners of her mouth slightly turned up, and she dropped a piece on the chessboard.

"Oh...Princess Anping is going to win!"

Mingyu yelled first, because on the chessboard, four connected sunspots had formed, and Yunxue had already lost this chess game!

Yun Xue had no choice but to throw the white stones in her hand on the chessboard, and said, "Your sister is really good. After a while, all the sisters in the family have been taught a lesson by you!"

Zhao Yao tilted her head and smiled, "It's not over yet, there's still one person who hasn't learned a lesson!"

After finishing speaking, Zhao Yao pointed her finger at Xiao Mo.

"Ziheng?" Yun Xue realized Xiao Mo was standing behind her, she stood up and said, "Come on, Ziheng, this girl is so arrogant, she actually used the backgammon you invented to bully our sisters!"

"That's right!" Zhao Yao looked at Xiao Mo and laughed, then said with a look of begging for abuse and insult: "Come and teach me a lesson!"

Xiao Mo was speechless, just now he looked at the chess played by Zhao Yao and Yun Xue, this girl's head is made of something, she is very good at playing chess, he is not good at backgammon, maybe she will not be good at playing chess Will be abused by Zhao Yao...

So Xiao Mo hesitated, and then said: "No more..."

However, facing the dozen or so women in the Xiao family, how could Xiao Mo have the final say?
So Xiao Mo was pushed on the chair opposite to Zhao Yao, and then Zhao Yao changed the black chess to Xiao Mo's body, and said disdainfully: "Let you go first..."

This stinky girl, after winning Yunxue and the others, her tail went up to the sky, and she even let her black child start to play chess first!
Xiao Mo stroked his chin and thought about it, he felt that he couldn't bear it anymore, he had to teach this girl a lesson, otherwise, how could he establish prestige at home?
So Xiao Mo began to rack his brains, thinking about the flying knives in backgammon, so that Zhao Yao could fall into his trap.

After thinking about it, Xiao Mo's eyes suddenly lit up, and then he smiled and placed a sunspot on the star position in the center of the chessboard.

Usually backgammon occupies the center of the board at first, so Xiao Mo's way of playing naturally did not attract Zhao Yao's attention, she leaned against Xiao Mo with a white piece.

Next, Xiao Mo didn't connect the sunspots, but flew directly to the corner, just like playing Go.

Zhao Yao still relied on the black chess to play, and the white chess stuck to the black chess forever.

In this way, Xiao Mo flew all over the chessboard, and after the black chess circled around the four star positions, it returned to the center of the chessboard, connecting to the side of the first black chess piece.

Zhao Yao continued to block, not giving Xiao Mo a chance!
In this way, the two of them worked together, Xiao Mo finally ushered in a chance.

Seeing that the six herringbone pieces of black chess were about to form, Zhao Yao noticed it and cut it off!
Xiao Mo let out a long sigh. In the last chess game, the board was densely filled with black and white chess pieces, but no one had five pieces in a row!

So no one wins and no one loses.

"It's boring..." Xiao Mo looked at Zhao Yao and said, "It's no wonder you win if you're so blocked!"

Zhao Yao smiled smugly, and then said, "Didn't you win too?"

"That's true..." Xiao Mo stood up slowly, intending to walk away.

But Zhao Yao said: "Wait a minute, you are a great talent, and you are the first mover, but you can't win against a weak girl like me, isn't that a bit unreasonable?"

"What do you mean?" Xiao Mo didn't understand what Zhao Yao meant.

"Fool Heng!" Yun Xue covered her mouth and smiled, "What An Ping means is that if you took the upper hand but couldn't beat her, then you lost..."

"Isn't it?" Xiao Mo asked: "It should be a tie, how did she beat me?"

After all, Xiao Mo looked around at the girls, but tragically found that no one was helping him.

Yu Niang smiled and said, "Ziheng, you just admit it!"

Yang Yanqi also said: "That's right, at least you haven't been killed by Princess Anping yet..."

"We all lost miserably..." Xie Yunjing said aggrievedly.

"You really all lost?" Xiao Mo didn't believe it, and then asked: "Mingyu, you lost too?"

Mingyu was the best backgammon among all the girls before Zhao Yao and Yunxue came to Xiao's house, so Xiao Mo asked her a special question.

But obviously, Mingyu lost because Mingyu nodded!

"Genius!" Xiao Mo was surprised, and gave Zhao Yao a thumbs up.

Zhao Yao replied: "Then you gave in?"

Xiao Mo said: "I am convinced, aunt, I am completely convinced!"

Xiao Mo's words drew laughter from all the girls!
And Zhao Yao took advantage of the laughter of the girls, and gave Xiao Mo a warning look.

Xiao Mo was scared by Zhao Yao, so he had to wink at her, signaling her not to worry.

After dinner, because of the arrival of Yun Xue and Zhao Yao, the girls naturally couldn't go back to the room so quickly, they all gathered around the yard and chatted miscellaneously, and because Xiao Mo was hiding his and Zhao Yao's affairs in his heart, After repeated warnings from Zhao Yao, they finally decided to have a showdown with Yun Xue!
