Chapter 449 Fishing
At the same time, Jiang Tangtang was also listening to someone report the news about Mu Yuchong and his group.
Mu Yuchong might never have dreamed that the moment their ship arrived at the port, someone was secretly watching their every move.
And none of the things he sent people to gather information and track people today escaped Jiang Tangtang's eyes.
Although we haven't figured out the identities and status of these people in Dayao, we know they are not good people based on their sneaky behavior.
Yuan San asked, "Your Majesty, are you going to deal with them?"
"Not for now. Send someone to keep an eye on them. Be careful to stay hidden and don't let anyone discover you."
She had to keep these people for fishing.
Although she implemented the new policy forcefully this time, the major families were very disgusted with it.
He has been hiding in the dark, looking for opportunities to cause trouble.
In fact, it was not this new policy that made the aristocratic families dissatisfied. She had already aroused public anger when she promoted public ownership of land earlier.
Many noble families who suffered heavy losses wanted to skin her alive and eat her flesh, and they also wanted to seize every opportunity to push her off the throne.
But these people are not only like rats in the gutter, they like to hide in the dark and act in secret. They are also like loaches, slippery and difficult to catch.
Just as Jiang Tangtang had expected, Mu Yuchong and his group soon attracted the attention of those aristocratic families.
In fact, the aristocratic families who were dissatisfied with Jiang Tangtang's repeated implementation of new policies, which seriously damaged their interests, did not just pay attention to Mu Yuchong and his group.
At this time, in a hidden house in Lingnan, the dim room was full of people.
"If you ask me, we should send someone over to contact them right now. If you're like this, afraid of wolves in front and tigers behind, what can you accomplish in the end? You deserve to be bullied by a woman."
Mr. Hu said angrily, shaking his beard.
The public ownership of land that Jiang Tangtang had previously implemented caused the Hu family to bleed heavily, and Mr. Hu simply hated Jiang Tangtang to death.
He was still brooding over the failure of his previous attempt to unite the noble families to prevent Jiang Tangtang from ascending the throne.
In the past two years, he has been looking for new opportunities, but the empress Jiang Tangtang does not play by the rules, making many of his plans useless.
Now that he finally saw some hope, the aristocratic families that he had joined forces with were timid, which really annoyed him.
Fourth Master Pei said, "Master Hu, if you act rashly without knowing the other party's identity, it will only bring us harm and no benefit."
"How can we find out the other party's identity if we don't send someone to contact them?" Master Hu glared at Master Pei Si. "I think your Pei family is just standing there making sarcastic remarks without feeling any pain even if the flesh hasn't been cut into their own flesh."
"Master Hu, what you said is wrong. Why didn't my Pei family suffer any loss? So much land, it can be confiscated at will.
"It would have been fine if they had distributed it to the common people before, but now they are also distributing it to the common people outside. This woman has long hair and little knowledge, she should be at home taking care of her husband and children. How can she be so ridiculous?"
"Your Pei family's younger generations have been thriving in business in Lingnan. I believe your Pei family is no worse off than before. Even though you've lost your land, these assets in Lingnan are enough for your Pei family to pass down for generations."
Fourth Master Pei's face turned as black as coal. "Master Hu, you shouldn't be like this. You know in your heart that the one who is doing well in business in Lingnan is the eldest wife, and has nothing to do with us, the fourth wife."
Seeing that the two were about to quarrel, Qu Xiujie stood up and said, "Alright, alright, stop arguing. I'll send someone over to investigate and see who the other party is."
At the Qionghai Wharf in Lingnan, Mu Yuchong was very excited about his subordinates' proposal.
If we could directly kill the emperor of Damin, and then wait until Damin was leaderless, then taking over Damin would naturally be the best option.
But when he thought of the contents of the secret letter, he hesitated again.
The subordinates did not know the contents of the secret letter and only thought that Jiang Tangtang was arrogant and would come up with such an idea, but his heart was full of speculations.
She traveled without guards, so she must have had someone to rely on. Otherwise, even the most arrogant person wouldn't joke about their own life.
What's more, Jiang Tangtang is the emperor of a country. If she is an arrogant fool, he doesn't think she can become the emperor.
After Mu Yuchong pondered for a while, he asked Imperial Master Qiu again, "Imperial Master, can you see the true form of the Empress now?"
When he first received the secret letter, he went to ask the imperial teacher whether the Empress of Damin was really the brother of an immortal and whether she really had any magical powers.
But at that time, the imperial teacher said that the stars in the sky were blocked and could not be calculated for the time being.
Master Qiu shook his head slightly, "Perhaps if I see the real person, I can get a glimpse of it."
Mu Yuchong is ambitious and wants to obtain the vast land of Daming, but his ambition does not stop there.
If the other party really has the secret of eternal youth and immortality, then he must get it.
He pondered for a moment and then said, "I'll have someone arrange it."
On this side, before Mu Yuchong had time to send someone to inquire about Jiang Tangtang's whereabouts and let Master Qiu get closer to find out the truth, someone came up to him on his own initiative.
Qu Xiujie said that he sent someone to test the background of Mu Yuchong and his group, but in the end he was still worried and came here himself.
The aristocratic families and officials of the old dynasty on Qu Xiujie's side want to overthrow Jiang Tangtang, and Mu Yuchong's target is also Jiang Tangtang.
After testing each other many times, although the two sides still could not fully trust each other, they finally joined forces.

In addition to paying attention to the progress of firearms research and development, Jiang Tangtang is most concerned about the implementation of the new policy these days.
In fact, attracting people from other countries is only her first step.
There are many more benefits to encourage childbirth.
Although Lingnan is full of vitality, many places in Daming have not yet recovered.
Even the once bustling capital now seemed somewhat deserted. There were still wastelands surrounding the capital. If this was the case in the capital, the more remote areas were, the more barren land there was.
The reason why Lingnan was so prosperous was that it was protected by her and Lu Shiyan at that time, so it did not suffer much from the war, and various disasters that followed were also dealt with in a timely manner.
Lingnan was less affected and was the first to implement various new policies such as public ownership of land. Various industrial pilot projects were also carried out in Lingnan.
Only then did Lingnan become prosperous and people lived and worked in peace and contentment.
At the end of last year, Jiang Tangtang asked officials from all over the country to conduct a census of the local population.
I found that the current population of Damin is too small.
Not only are there few middle-aged people, there are also few newborns.
If this continues, it will be very detrimental to the development of the people.
This is why she insisted on implementing the new policy.
But simply importing manpower from other countries is obviously not enough.
