It was obviously a large open space, but as soon as Zhao Zhen changed hands, he made ten times more profit.

But the biggest winner is not Zhao Zhen, but Tianci Bank.

When Zhao Zhen was acquiring land in Youzhou, Tianci Bank was also acquiring it.

When Zhao Zhen sold the fields in Youzhou for ten times the price, no one in the civil and military circles of the Song Dynasty paid any attention to him.

They knew that the largest landowner in Youzhou was Zhao Zhen.

So I wanted to wait until Zhao Zhen couldn't stand it any longer and took the initiative to lower the price.

But they didn't expect that Zhao Zhen sold the land in Youzhou at ten times the price. They refused to take it, but Tianci Bank took it all.

Then within half a year, it was sold for twenty times the price.

Wen and Wu of the Song Dynasty still wanted to wait.

But businessmen poured into Youzhou in one fell swoop, raising land prices to twenty-five times.

The civil and military officials of the Song Dynasty could no longer bear it and started buying land one after another.

Tianci Bank, which had amassed a large amount of land, naturally made a fortune accordingly.

So angry that Zhao Zhen almost made plans to choose a new capital.

In the end, Zhao Zhen did not choose another new capital.

The reason for this is that Kou Hui is pregnant.

For the sake of his imperial grandson, Zhao Zhen pinched his nose and admitted that the child's grandmother had robbed him of his money.

There was no change in the Song Dynasty, and there was no change in the Qing Dynasty.

Except for the construction of Qingdu, there were almost no changes in other places during the Qing Dynasty.

It's just that there are fewer criminals. They either died on the way to build roads, or were sent to Beihai Mansion to dig coal and forge steel.

In addition, there are more crops. In addition to the original crops, there are also many more crops with high yields.

Such as potatoes, sweet potatoes, pumpkins, etc.

There are no changes in Beihaifu, Xiyang, Dongyang, Liuqiu, Dongtianzhu, Xitianzhu and other places outside Qing Dynasty.

On the western battlefield, Zhu Neng, Li Zhaoliang, Gargamel, Seljuks and the Roman Empire were in a stalemate for two years.

Gao Weizhao of Yanshan Prefecture, with the help of the Song Dynasty, regained a firm foothold in Yanshan Prefecture.

From a superficial perspective, nothing has changed at all.

But looking from behind the scenes, there have been some changes.

The Dongyang Zhong family, the Liuqiu Cao family, and the Dongtianzhu Cao family sent people to North America for the second time, and returned to their respective families again, taking a group of slaves with them and leaving in a hurry.

Liu Heng did some calculations in his spare time and found that the three families brought a total of 130,000 people to North America and other places.

Thirteen thousand people were equipped with weapons.

It looks vicious.

But all this has nothing to do with Kou Ji.

Kou Ji didn't even want to leave the house.

But an unexpected person comes to visit, leaving Kou Ji unable to go out.

When Kou Ji saw him, he was being carried. He was so thin that only a handful of bones were left, and he was so weak that he seemed ready to die at any time.

Kou Ji looked at the old man lying in front of him and sighed, "Why do you bother?"

Cao Li, who was lying on the recliner with only half a breath left, stared at Kou Ji and chuckled: "I'm afraid that if I don't come, I'll never see you again."

Kou Ji sighed and said, "Then there's no need to come here in person. Send a letter and I'll go see you."

Cao Li grinned and said, "You are the young master and I am the old servant. How can the young master go to see the old servant in person?"

Kou Ji said bluntly: "Why do you belittle yourself so much? You are now the leader of a country. Even the Emperor of the Song Dynasty who dominated the world would not dare to call you a servant."

Cao Li shook his head and said: "The Cao family is what it is today because of you. You don't care about past kindness, but the Cao family has to remember. Everyone in the Cao family owes you their lives."

Kou Ji shook his head and said, "I told you before, I'll pay it back."

Cao Li laughed and said: "Is it so easy to repay the grace of saving my life?"

Kou Ji rolled his eyes and said, "You old guy, stop playing the emotional card in front of me. You risked your life to come to see me, just because you want to gain some wealth for your children and grandchildren before you die.

Say it.

Whatever you want, as long as it's not too much, I can agree to it."

Cao Liang was not ambiguous. He understood Kou Ji's character and told the truth.

More importantly, you can't pretend in front of Kou Ji.

As long as you dare to pretend, Kou Ji will dare to break up with you.

"Can that overseas land leave a place for the Cao family to settle down?"

Kou Ji was stunned for a moment, "Your Cao family has now begun to dominate and rule the country above. I should beg you to give me, the Kou family, a place to stay."

Cao Li shook his head and said, "The Cao family doesn't have that ability. Everything the Cao family is doing now is just paving the way for you."

Kou Ji pondered: "How can we see it?"

Cao Li smiled and said: "Intuition..."

Kou Ji laughed and said, "Is that thing accurate?"

Cao Li said bluntly: "I think it's accurate."

Kou Ji shook his head and smiled: "I don't think so. Otherwise, you wouldn't have been rescued by me in the first place."

Cao Li sighed secretly, "Are you going to agree?"

Kou Ji smiled and said: "If it's not mine, how can I make the decision? Besides, when you say that, aren't you a little pessimistic?"

Cao Li sighed with emotion: "Sooner or later, that place will be yours, and sooner or later it will be your decision. The reason why I asked to come is not because I am too pessimistic, but because the descendants of the Cao family are incompetent."

Kou Ji stared at Cao Li without saying anything.

Cao Lili said frankly: "My Cao family is not good at planning. I am not good at planning, and my descendants are even worse than me. Some of them can't even practice martial arts well."

The only thing the Cao family can take advantage of now is life.

The Cao family can risk their lives to fight."

Kou Ji smiled and said: "As long as you work hard, you will always gain something."

Cao Li shook his head, "If you only work hard, you can only sacrifice your life. If you do anything else, you will not only lose your life, but you may even lose all your money."

At this point, Cao Li stared at Kou Ji and said solemnly: "As long as you nod, the lives of the Cao family's children will be yours from now on. Whoever you need will die, as long as you can reward the Cao family with a meal."

eat."

Kou Ji frowned at first, and then raised his brows, "Why bother? You are also the master of a country, so it is inappropriate to say such things."

Cao Li stared at Kou Ji and said in a deep voice: "This is all the Cao family has now."

Kou Ji sighed, "I remember I warned Cao Zhan at that time, but you didn't seem to listen? Why are you looking for me again now?"

Cao Li sighed: "I was blinded by lard before and broke off my relationship with you. If I want to pick up our relationship again, I have to pay the price.

The Cao family will send 100,000 people overseas one after another.

One hundred thousand people will help you clear some obstacles and lay a foundation for you to gain a foothold.

This is the price for the Cao family to regain their friendship."

Cao Li made it clear that there was no need for Kou Ji to hide it. He said bluntly: "You should know that I am not a heartless person. Even though the Cao family and I, the Kou family, no longer have any affection.

When my Kou family's troops go overseas, they will not take over the property that your Cao family has worked hard for.

I'm not going to bully a group of juniors.

The world is so big that just a few of us can’t divide it all.”

Cao Li smiled bitterly and said: "The Liuqiu Cao family and the Dongyang Zhong family are both ambitious people. I can trust you, but I can't trust them.

When the overseas land is really divided, they will not share it with my Cao family."

Kou Ji asked: "So you want me to help you?"

Cao Li's expression became even more bitter, "Are you saying that you are not willing to take my Cao family with you?"

Kou Ji said frankly: "There is no way to reunite a broken mirror. I can only help them for your sake. You can send more disciples to Qingguo to study. I believe that one day, your Cao family will no longer have to bow their heads."

Please ask anyone."

Cao Li nodded, "I understand..."

Kou Ji sighed: "To be honest, I thought you would use your broken body to ask me for firearms, but I didn't expect that you didn't ask for firearms, and instead asked me to help the Cao family."

Cao Li said with emotion: "You always speak the truth. If you said you would teach us how to forge firearms, then you will definitely give it to us.

Before this, no matter how much we ask, we will never get it.”
