Chapter 755: Lost Confidence Izumo Monarch!

In the palace of the new capital of Izumo Province, in the face of the king's question, Izumo Baiguan whispered, and he was also extremely puzzled in his heart, and he couldn't figure it out.

Izumo Province looked at Xi Guo to accept merchants from all over the world, commercial activities flourished, day by day to make money, siphon the world's wealth, long envious, thinking of riding the Xi country's free ride, the development of business and trade, but due to the increasingly bad relations between the two countries, the exchanges between the two sides are also shrinking day by day.

Although there is still trade between Xi and Izumo country, but the scale is not large, it is a small fight, generally the small caravan of Xi country enters Izumo country to do business, and no one in the big caravan dares to offend the Xi country government and go to that Izumo country to do business.

To put it bluntly, Izumo Province wants to get in the car, but Hee Country doesn't take them to play.

However, at the beginning of this year, the situation was reversed, and large and small caravans of Hei Province entered Izumo Province one after another to do business, bringing prosperity to Izumo Province, and in these months, the collection of commercial taxes (including customs duties and city taxes) tripled compared to the same period in previous years, greatly enriching the treasury of Izumo Treasury.

For this astonishing change, the hundred officials in the hall were shocked by three points, and three points were surprised, but they were more vigilant.

The head of the Izumo Kingdom, Yun Zhongzuru, saw the name of the country and asked himself, so he said, "The king, what the intentions of the Xi country are, there is no way to know.

However, according to the minister's investigation, the reason why the merchants of the Xi Kingdom entered the Xi Kingdom in a big way this time was because several large caravans under the command of the Xi King's Palace entered Izumo, and they dumped a large number of ceramics, tea, paper, fine brocade silk, grain, furniture, and salt, and at the same time, they bought heaven and earth treasures, jade, raw silk, iron ore, timber, leather goods, and mountain goods.

The value of Xiguo's commodities is much higher than that of Izumo, and the merchants of Xiguo continue to make their profits on energy, and it is unknown whether the king and Xiyun Marquis have ulterior motives, but if it is about trading, Xiguo's behavior is normal and profitable, and they naturally flock to it!"

What Yun Zhonghe said was very pertinent, and Izumo Bo and the ministers in the palace nodded again and again.

"Well, according to the current situation, it's true, Xiguo didn't expose any intentions, they made a lot of money in my Izumo, and we Izumo can also profit from it, and the two sides are mutually beneficial, but the lonely heart is still a little unsteady, this son is not very old, but his mind is very deep, far-sighted, and strategic, and he always feels that Xiyun Hou is calculating something. ”

Izumo is suspicious by nature, although there is no evidence, but his intuition tells him that things are not simple: "Ladies and gentlemen, you said that Xiyun Hou suddenly showed favor to us Izumo, what did he want from us?"

Yun Zhonghe frowned and thought deeply, but did not answer, in fact, he was also a little curious in his heart why Xiyun Hou showed favor to Izumo, which obviously did not look like Xiyun Hou's style.

"The king, the prime minister, from the minister's point of view, the Marquis of Xiyun is indeed showing favor to us. In the hall, a minister stood up with a determined face.

Izumo Bo was a little interested: "Oh~ Why did Aiqing say this?"

The minister looked flattering and saluted: "King, in recent years, after the great king and the country's hard work, innovation and restructuring, Izumo country has a new look, the national strength is thriving, the country's fortunes are prosperous, these changes in the southern wilderness countries are obvious to all, Xi country is the main lineage of the Xi family, the heritage is profound, there must be a high and profound hope of the arts, at a glance I can see that our Izumo country is about to enter the list of Hou countries, this is the change of policy. ”

Seeing the Izumo Kingdom and the Crane in the clouds nodding frequently, the minister was greatly encouraged and gushed: "If we wait for Izumo Kingdom to be officially promoted to the rank of Hou State, then Xi Kingdom will be attacked by us and Chu State on both sides, and be trapped in a corner of the Southern Wilderness.

"That's right! Aiqing's eyes are like torches, why didn't Lone think of this, Izumo Guo's fortunes have risen sharply, [Linghe Yuwei] is about to be promoted to the rank of the five-grade elite master, and then we will be the fifth overlord of the Southern Wilderness!" Izumo Bo slapped his thigh, his face was full of redness, and he was very excited: "Yes, Xiguo is afraid, hahahaha, he is showing goodwill to Lone, and wants Lone to reconcile with him!"

For more than a year, Izumo Bo and the Minister of the Kingdom, Yunzhong Crane Junchen, first moved the capital, moved away from the place where Izumo's old nobles were entrenched, and then made drastic reforms in the new capital, first reorganizing the army by thunderous means, especially the elite division of the town country [Lingzuru Yuwei] After undergoing a major blood change, it was firmly in the hands of Izumo Bo.

After taking control of the power of the army, Izumo began a series of land reforms, slave reforms, and feudal feudal system reforms, and implemented the "Gentleman's Ze, Fifth Dynasty and Beheaded", selecting a large number of talents, and encouraging agricultural work......

It can be said that the reform of Izumo Province was very successful, and the Minister of the Kingdom, Yunzhong Tsuru, used his extraordinary talent and skill to push Izumo, who had been trapped in one province for several generations, to a new peak.

With strength in his hands, he naturally has the confidence to speak and do things, thinking about the prospects of Izumo Country, Izumo Bo was convinced of the words of this flattering minister, and the previous confusion was gone, and the whole person was a little fluttering, and he was complacent, as if he had choked the throat of Xiguo's fate:

"Ladies and gentlemen, tell me, do we want to reconcile with the Xi Kingdom, or will we continue to join forces with the Chu State to suppress the Xi Kingdom, and let the Xiyun Marquis spit out the territory that he ate before?"

"What the king said is very true, now it is Xiguo who is begging for us, looking up to me Izumo snort, we must not let go of Xiguo easily, if Xiyun Hou is not sincere enough, we will unite with Chu State to sanction him, and the two elite divisions of the five grades will be overwhelmed, even if they have two gods and strong people in charge, they have to beg for mercy!"

"That's right, we must not give up on this, we must teach Xiguo a lesson..."

"Eh, harmony makes money, in my opinion, we can take the opportunity to ask Xiguo for benefits......"

In the main hall of the Izumo Palace, the monarchs and ministers all climaxed, and their minds were full of thoughts about how Izumo Kingdom would be beautiful in the future, and how Hee Kingdom would bow to Izumo... One by one, the spit flew and I was excited.

Minister Yun Zhonghe was silent, although he also agreed with Xiguo's statement that he intended to ease relations, but he was not so optimistic.

Izumo Kingdom's successful promotion to the rank of Hou State is only a matter of self-preservation, and if you want to suppress Xi Guo with this and force Xi Yunhou to bow his head, it is wishful thinking.

Thinking of this, the only sober-minded minister Yun Zhonghe came out and poured a basin of cold water on the full palace monarchs and ministers in the carnival: "Great King, the strength of Xiguo should not be underestimated, and the potential is endless, after I was promoted to Hou Guo, I joined forces with Chu State to suppress Xiguo for a while, but it will be difficult to say in the future, when the situation is reversed again, things will not be easy to do, at present, if Xiyun Marquis intends to reconcile, in the opinion of the minister, we might as well push the boat and send a messenger to Xiguo, break the ice and say that it is good......"

When Izumo Bo heard this, he was immediately unhappy, and waved his hand again and again, iron-clad: "How could Lone take the initiative to send a messenger to show goodwill to Xiguo, there is no such thing, don't say that Izumo has the upper hand at this moment, even if it is the end of the road, Lone would rather die than bow to him Yao Yun Boy!"
