Going to Beijing to save his father, all the powerful officials in the city are vying to be his fath

Qiao Haomin was in a coma and his men were injured. When they rested and entered the country of Wu, they could not find any trace of Su Qin.

The State of Wu provided convenient passage for passing merchants, but it was only for passing through. After paying taxes, they could leave the State of Wu and could not stay for too long. Those who wanted to live in the State of Wu, like Su Qin and others, had to be introduced and guaranteed by a Wu person.

Qiao Haomin and his friends had no introducer, and no one was willing to guarantee them. No matter how much money they spent, they could not stay in Wu. They had no choice but to head east and leave Wu.

However, when they arrived at the border between Wu and Yu, they heard that a caravan very similar to the Wuning Marquis's caravan had already left Wu. Qiao Haomin thought that Su Qin had returned to Yu. Although he followed her all the way, he did not find out what Su Qin was going to do, so he had no choice but to follow her. However, they did not return to the capital, but found a small town to stay temporarily and would go back after they completely captured King Liang.

He didn't know that Su Qin was making every effort to incite civil unrest in Ukraine, and no one knew what Su Qin was doing. The first person to notice that something was wrong was Qu Bhudan.

Because he followed Su Qin as an interpreter every day, he could naturally hear different things from Su Qin's words. He realized that some of Su Qin's words were inflammatory. Those originally dissatisfied people and slaves became even more dissatisfied after hearing her words, and even felt hatred.

After he realized something was wrong, he asked Su Qin seriously, "Miss Zeng, what exactly do you want to do? I know you are all smart people who can do great things, but this is not the Yu Kingdom. It is not a place for you to fool around. If something goes wrong, it will not be a small matter. Even you will not be spared."

Facing Qu Bhutan's questioning, Su Qin replied calmly, "Did I do anything? I just told them what the outside world is like, some things they didn't know. Is there anything wrong with that?"

Qu Bhutan certainly knew that what she said was true. He had been doing business abroad for many years and of course knew that Ukraine was different from other countries and that the people of Ukraine lived a harder life.

But when he comes back, he will not tell the people in Ukraine about what is happening in the outside world. This is the consensus of every businessman who can leave Ukraine to do business.

Because they knew that they could do business outside because the leaders and nobles needed goods from the outside world, and they relied on the nobles for their livelihood. If they told other people and slaves about what was happening in the outside world, causing dissatisfaction and slave rebellion, then they would lose the environment on which they depended for survival.

To be honest, they are also a class that enslaves slaves, because they need many slaves to hunt precious and novel prey for them regardless of their lives. If there are no slaves, they are unwilling to risk their lives and go into the mountains, and this business cannot be done.

With this idea in mind, no one wanted to break this balance, so the lower-class people and slaves of the Ukrainian state were kept in the dark.

Now that Su Qin wanted to break this balance, Qu Bhutan felt a little flustered. For the first time, he expressed dissatisfaction with Su Qin: "Miss Zeng, this is our country's business, not yours. The chief kept you here to help us farm. Don't do unnecessary things. Otherwise, if something goes wrong, no one can save you. Not even the Marquis of Wuning can break into Wu Kingdom and rescue you."

Su Qin's expression also turned a bit colder. "I did stay here to help you farm, but you haven't thought about why I should help you and what benefits I can get. Qu Bhutan, we are all businessmen. You should understand that everyone in this world is motivated by profit. If there is no profit, why would I waste my time and energy helping you farm?"

Qu Bhudan frowned and asked, "What do you want? I can help you get it from the leader."

Su Qin chuckled: "You? Do you think you have the qualifications to appear before your leader without me?"

Qu Bhutan felt a little embarrassed. Indeed, he was just a businessman, and his status in the country of Wu was higher than that of a slave. If it weren't for Su Qin and the others, not only the leader but even their village chief wouldn't have even looked at him.

He couldn't help but soften his tone and advised, "Miss Zeng, I'm doing this for your own good. I don't want you to get into trouble and endanger your life."

Su Qin replied coldly, "You don't have to worry about that. I'm responsible for my own safety. Just think about whether you want to live like this forever, giving all the money you earn and the crops you grow to the nobles while you work so hard to earn a living."

Qu Bhutan certainly didn't want to. He had seen so much of the world and had seen how wealthy the merchants in other countries lived. Although the status of merchants in other countries was not high, they could spend money however they wanted, eat whatever they wanted, and be covered in silk, satin, gold, silver and jade. They lived even better than their nobles.

He also wanted to live such a life, but what could he do? He didn't dare to resist. If he didn't resist, he would still have food to eat, but if he resisted, his whole family would die.

He said to Su Qin with a bitter face, "Miss Zeng, I understand what you mean, but what can we do? You incited those slaves, do you think they can turn the tide on their own? The leader has an army of over 100,000. If anyone dares to resist, the entire village will be slaughtered as a sacrifice."

Although the entire Wu Kingdom is a nation of soldiers, that is during wartime. In normal times, they don't even have weapons. The strongest and most elite men in the village are selected by the nobles and sent to the military camp to protect the nobles' safety. Those soldiers are well-fed and will not betray the people who feed them.

Su Qin smiled slightly: "I said, everything in this world is for profit. No one will betray anyone. It just depends on whether the profit is big enough."

Looking at Su Qin's confident expression, Qu Bhudan felt a hint of anticipation rising in his heart: "Miss Zeng, do you have a way to change the current situation in Uganda?"

Su Qin shook her head: "This is your country, you need to change it yourself, I can't do anything about it, and I won't interfere."

The time is not right yet. The conflict in Wu State has not been fully intensified. She also has to go back to Yu State to have a good discussion with Zhao Liangchen and Wuning Hou. With the few people they have now, they can't do anything.

So she wouldn't say too much to Qu Bhudan.

Qu Bhudan's face was full of disappointment, then he laughed at himself. How could he pin his hopes on a little girl? No matter how smart Su Qin was, she was just a girl. How could she possibly solve the problems that had existed in Ukraine for so many years?

Time passed slowly, summer turned to autumn, and although the Ukrainian people complained, they had become accustomed to obedience under the high-pressure suppression and reclaimed all the terraces.

The caravan that Su Qin sent back to Yu State to deliver goods also returned with new goods and seeds.

He helped them plant crops suitable for autumn planting. Before the cold weather came, Su Qin took the caravan to Yiwu State and purchased a large amount of goods before preparing to return to Yu State.

During the few months that Su Qin stayed in Wu State, the situation in the entire Shangjing City had become extremely tense. Prince Liang and the Emperor had completely fallen out, and the two sides stood on opposite sides.

Prince Liang spared no effort every day to publicize the emperor's incompetence and inhumanity.

Because Prince Liang did not get what he wanted in the previous disaster relief work, his people not only failed to ruin the emperor's reputation in Chanzhou, but the emperor vigorously promoted the planting of sweet potatoes and achieved a good harvest, which prevented millions of Chanzhou disaster victims from starving and instead made the emperor's reputation better.

Therefore, the people do not believe what King Liang said to discredit the emperor, and the incompetent emperor will not let the victims have enough to eat.

As for whether the emperor is humane or not, it has nothing to do with the people. As long as they can live a good life, it doesn’t matter to them even if the emperor is a eunuch.

Not all the ministers in the court stood on the side of Prince Liang. With the help of Grand Tutor Yan and Grand Preceptor, there were still many officials who recognized the emperor's ability.

In their view, it was not a big deal if the emperor was unable to have children. There had been emperors without heirs since ancient times. It would be enough to adopt one from the royal family.

However, if the emperor is replaced temporarily, the problems that will arise will be greater than the emperor having no heir.

So King Liang's plan progressed very slowly.

He didn't want to wait any longer before rebelling in the name of not wanting an heirless emperor to destroy the foundation laid by his ancestors.
