To be fair, after reading the history books of Zhao State, Su Heng had to admit that the current Zhao King He Jian is a guy who pretends to be a pig and eats a tiger, and has extremely good political skills. He ascended the throne at the age of 14. What can he do except be a puppet when facing the gentry and capital upstarts who control everything in the country?

In order to humiliate the new king, the gentry and capital upstarts of that period arranged for him were just poor girls from the bottom of Zhao State. They looked just a good-looking person, not ugly, and were also considered generous.

In contrast, the marriage partners of the gentry families and capital upstart families were either large families in the Zhao State or married gentry and powerful people in the three northwest provinces of Da Shang.

The gentry and wealthy families in Yunbian, Liangxi and Liangdong provinces in the northwest of the Great Shang Empire took benefits from Zhao State to control various mineral veins, and mostly cooperated with the gentry and capital upstarts here.

Why should He Jian make a counter-suggestion for a new king who even leaves the palace to play with it?

A puppet who ascended the throne at the age of fourteen has been disguising himself as a pig and eating a tiger for the first five years, but how old is he? He was able to hide the old foxes of Zhao State without the spies around him?

This is simply a miracle.

The most important thing for this person to do the subsequent operation is to choose a capital upstart group. A wealthy businessman who was not conspicuous when he saw it, but actually had a strong hidden power behind him. As Ya's father, he has always been timid and supported Ya's father in various things.

However, that Asian father, the rich businessman, was just a marginal figure in the interests of Zhao State...

On the surface, he was not strong, just a rich man who occupied several iron ore and copper ores. In fact, behind this rich man represented the Great Shang Empire, in addition to the three provinces of Yunbian, Liangxi and Liangdong, another province in the north bank province.

The State of Zhao is the island country with the largest number of gold, silver, gems, iron and copper veins among the ocean countries!

Especially copper!

In the past, copper mines were coin mines, which could be used directly as copper coins. In the present era, due to firearm technical problems, bronze cannons were often the strongest for casting cannons.

What does your island country with the most copper mines represent?

Not only the three northwestern provinces of Da Shang who wanted to annex and invade the interests here? The Tang Empire adhered to the ancient Jiuzhou pattern, and no matter how large the territory was, it was only Jiuzhou.

The Da Shang system is a provincial system. The entire Tianzhou continent has an area similar to that of the continents occupied by the Tang Dynasty, but there are more than 30 provinces here.

The three northwestern provinces have always been within Zhao's interests, and it doesn't matter how they compete. But if there are any gentry and powerful people from other provinces want to intervene, then work together to fight.

Other provinces outside the three northwestern provinces alliance were too interested in Zhao State, but they failed to make trouble again and again, and they just stood outside and coveted.

They are secretly choosing representatives and preparing to act.

Then, for some reason, the interest plate behind this representative was discovered by the teenager He Jian, and he supported him with various super strength and respect...

No matter what, He Jian is a king, an open and upright king, and a puppet king, and also has a reputation.

After getting some local rich man whom He Jian fooled, he began to fight for power and profit step by step, and wanted to seize the interests of the gentry and tyrants in the North Bank Province who supported him behind his back.

The most important thing in the five years before He Jian ascended the throne was that the local rich man rose step by step, and it was also the process of the rise of the powerful people in the North Bank province outside the three provinces. It was this process. He Jian silently developed outstanding strength.

In the fifth year of his ascension to the throne, he made his voice for the first time.

He actually secretly pulled out a powerful force loyal to He Jian, that is, the 5,000 powerful army trained by the powerful tyrants of the North Bank Province, was turned against by He Jian and became a powerful force loyal to the royal family.

When the local rich man Yafu almost vomited blood, the powerful people in the North Bank Province were almost angry, He Jian directly confronted other gentry and powerful people, as well as the powerful people in the Yunbian, Liangxi and Liangdong of the Great Shang Dynasty. Behind Yafu was Beiban Province.

Now, a local rich man, the rich man from North Bank Province, was completely destroyed.

The same goes for the words: Yunbian, Liangxi and Liangdong provinces, no matter how internal competition is, they are united to the outside world. They are united, that is, the power of the three provinces, bringing together more than 70% of the gentry and capital forces of Zhao State to fight the last little bit.

It took less than a year to kill a rich man. The North Bank Province could not lose all the rice.

In their minds, what the hell is He Jian mastering the 5,000 troops? As long as he gets the scum in North Bank Province, he is still afraid that he will not be able to play with this guy who just turned 19?

The truth is, they really can't play!

After the North Bank and the local rich man were finished, He Jian not only developed the army into 7,000, but also brought representatives of the gentry and powerful provinces from the Da Shang and Yunxia provinces again.

The three provinces are divided by clouds, above and below the clouds, divided by clouds and mountains, famous mountain ranges in Dashang, and the west and east of Liang are the boundary of Liangshui.

Are the gentry and powerful people in the two provinces on the Yunshang and Yunshang representing stupid? They are not stupid. He Jian is very brave and directly married the strongest families in the two provinces. All the ones they marry are named as the official concubines, and even directly made a will. If he dies, the sons of the women who married these families will be king.

It doesn't matter how you divide it at that time, it's all yours. He has lived enough puppet life and would rather give Zhao State to Yun Shang and Yun Xia than to take advantage of the gentry of the three northwest provinces who treat him as puppets.

He was even willing to leave Zhao State and go to those two provinces to live in the house of his father-in-law, and was willing to let the literati sent by Lao Zhang people share all the official positions in Zhao State.

As the cost reaches this point, even with the precedent of North Bank Province suffering losses, the leaders of the gentry and powerful provinces could not sit still.

Such a good script, if you don’t follow it, you will lose money!

They took it and sent family elites to become officials, daughters and others to marry. After the marriage, they took He Jian to Da Shang.

Then the three provinces of Yunbian, Liangxi and Liangdong were completely out of breath. In those years, they almost had a bloody scalp in Zhao.

When they fought almost, they found that He Jian was gone. He didn't know when he ran away from the control of the gentry and wealthy clans and appeared in Chaoge. He wanted to destroy the royal family and was only willing to be a rich man and requested that Zhao State become a new province of the Da Shang Dynasty.

The big bosses of the five provinces were all confused. At that time, the Shang emperor Zhao Yu was so happy that he almost laughed out loud. The Shang emperor began to fight with the gentry and powerful people in the five provinces.

As they were torn, Emperor Shang was furious and severely punished the original gentry and wealthy families of the five provinces. In the end, he had to pinch his nose and grant He Jian a title for him to take office in the south of Da Shang.

How could Zhao Yu not know that He Jian wanted to be possessed by others, but he was also a knife? However, Zhao Yu in Zhao's territory was too great, and at that time, he could not resist the temptation and ended up. As a result, he dealt with the powerful people of the five provinces in a bad way and suffered a loss. However, the powerful people of the five provinces contacted more gentry and powerful people, and the nobles of the five provinces would instinctively weaken the imperial power, but Zhao Yu was unable to become an gentry and was eventually unable to become an gentry and powerful thing.

The matter was not done, and he had no good expression on He Jian's side. He couldn't resist He Jian's journey to take office and ran away again. When he went back, he pulled out a 10,000 army loyal to him in the State of Zhao. Faced with the extremely weak and blood-deficient gentry and powerful provinces, as well as the local gentry and capital upstarts in Zhao... He woke up blood and slaughtered.

The Emperor Shang was furious again and sent troops into Zhao State to teach He Jian a lesson. He couldn't stand it. Zhao State was full of mountains. He Jian was exiled for several years and still survived.

After these years, the gentry and powerful people in the three provinces of Da Shang Yunbian, Liangxi and Liangdong have almost recovered. The main reason is that the old generation of the previous generation of wealthy families is gone? New wealthy families will soon emerge.

But Zhao State was also troubled and was not very good. Before this incident, Zhao State actually had a population of tens of millions. It was only after He Jian succeeded to the throne that it declined to the top millions, killing and injured millions.
