The princess and the colt who had been on their honeymoon had not returned for more than a month, but Gan Lei had returned. Situ Pan then sent someone to call Feng Ziying to discuss the matter, and asked him to take Jia Cong over to Rongguo Mansion. Jia Cong didn't dare to slack off, and honestly packed up a half-new Confucian robe. Situ Pan valued him and let him sit next to Feng Ziying; Most of the others also know him, and they know that he is loved by Situ Pan, and they all greet him with a smile.

Earlier, a female mountaineer reported to the official, saying that a few days ago, a lot of soldiers and horses suddenly came to the foot of their mountain, and it didn't sound like a Yanguo accent; The county ordered the county to enter Beijing quickly and report to King Yan. King Yan was shocked, and ordered Gan Lei, the commander of the Royal Forest Army, to lead the army to check, and sure enough, there were soldiers and horses stationed from nowhere, and the man had fled. Gan Lei only regarded it as a training soldier, pursued all the way, and a few days ago he could be regarded as capturing all the enemy soldiers alive. Co-authored Zhong Wei and others guessed wrong. These are not the people of the king of Chu, but the people of the king of Jin. They wanted to capture Princess Jian'an near the capital, first plant it to Wu State, and then use this woman as a hostage to ask for ransom from Rongguo Mansion and Lu State, and finally send it to Chu State to be killed, pretending to be the King of Chu as the mastermind to disturb these countries.

Jia Cong's teeth were cold when he heard this: "What a vicious mind!" Princess Jian'an is also his niece. ”

Situ Pan asked, "Do you have any ideas about your family's affairs?" ”

Jia Cong muttered quietly: "It doesn't seem to be your family's business." Feng Ziying glared at him. Jia Cong held his cheeks and thought for a long time, and suddenly understood that this was the Yanwang Mansion, so he hurriedly put down his hand and sat upright. Situ Pan looked at him funny. Jia Cong touched the back of his head and sold a cute, and said, "I have an idea, but it's quite troublesome, or I should listen to your adults first." ”

Situ Pan looked down, and a general said: "The king of Jin has sent troops to the capital, and my country should raise troops to fight back." ”

Gan Lei said: "Didn't you let the last general be caught? ”

The general said: "His heart can be punished!" Jia Cong rolled his eyes.

Situ Pan kept looking at him and said, "What about Cong'er?" ”

Jia Cong said: "It's easy to fight the Jin Kingdom. After the fight, can you occupy the land of the Jin Kingdom? Wouldn't it be in vain not to occupy it? How do you calculate the money and food spent? If you occupy it, won't you provoke all the kings of the world to attack it? You think others will listen to us reason? Although they were the first to do it, after all, this matter is hidden, and we can't tell us if they are lying. ”

Situ Pan said: "Since you think it's inappropriate, let's hear about your troublesome ideas." ”

Jia Cong knew that he was waiting, and he didn't sell it anymore. "The king of Jin, the villain also. It is a fool to use the way of a gentleman to deal with villains, it is easy to suffer losses with the way of a samurai, and it is best to use the way of a scoundrel. The plan of discord is good, but it is miserable if it fails. King Jin is a person who is not easy to watch out for when the world is not divided, and it is very easy to deal with when the world is divided. He waved his finger and said, "He's sneaky, we're in the bright light." Didn't all the kings have envoys in Beijing? Individually, each envoy was invited to see the prisoners of war, and a few spies from the King of Jin were brought in—if not, a few were trained temporarily. The princes of each family will immediately check in detail whether they have spies from the Jin Kingdom, and send spies to the Jin Kingdom. Whether it succeeds or not, they are all wary of the Jin Kingdom, and it will be difficult for them to get accomplices in the future. In the fall, we will make this clear to the world. ”

Someone below asked, "Why don't you just tell the world this time?" ”

"I want to give the princes some time." Jia Cong smiled and said, "Otherwise, King Jin will withdraw all the spies." ”

Situ Pan coughed: "This is the end?" ”

"Of course not!" Jia Cong said, "Because the Jin State caused chaos to the Yan State and intended to plant and provoke the rebellion of the three kingdoms of Yan, Wu and Chu, the Yan State united with Wu and Chu to impose economic sanctions on the Jin State. Although the country of Lu is small, it can also be piggybacked. ”

Situ Pan was slightly shocked, and all the staff and ministers clapped their hands and said "good". Although they didn't know what economic sanctions were, Jia Cong's words obviously had quietly pushed Yan Guo to the position of hegemon. I just don't know if King Wu is willing or not. Situ Pan asked indifferently: "What economic sanctions?" ”

"For example, don't buy things from the Jin Kingdom." Jia Cong said, "But you can sell things to them." To be honest, this move is the best for Wu Guo. Wu's industry is developing rapidly, things are of good quality and cheap, and you can play dumping with them - I will go to Wu to go around and explain to King Wu what dumping is. ”

Situ Pan said: "This matter is difficult, where do the people know what is Jin on the street." ”

"It doesn't matter if the people sanction just one thing; What matters is official sanctions. The king of Jin and his mother's family, his wife's family, and important confidants and ministers all have many Zhuangzi shops, which are found in the capital, Wuchu, Luzhou, and Ping'an Prefecture. Jia Cong squeezed his eyes and said, "The business district management office of Ping'an Prefecture has a directory. A staff member surnamed Luo sneered, and Situ Pan also had a smile on his face. Jia Cong continued, "These people account for more than sixty percent of the wealth of the Jin Kingdom, maybe seventy percent of them." The four kingdoms of Yan, Wu, Chulu, and Lu can separately increase taxes on these Zhuangzi shops, and I will try to persuade Uncle Wang Teng to add Liangguang. Situ Pan smiled.

An official below was about to open his mouth, but the man next to him stepped on him vigorously and shook his head slightly. The man hesitated for a moment, and then Jia Cong spoke again: "King Wu is okay, after all, he has money; The king of Chu is much poorer, and if he can't keep it, he will directly raid those shops to vent his anger. If other princes are greedy to play Taiping boxing, raise taxes in the name of righteousness and bravery, or take advantage of it in the name of 'hello to the shopkeeper, I am the chief manager of the palace, I see that your shop is good, it is better to give it to me'," he slapped, "We can't control it~~"

Situ Pan laughed and pointed at him: "You kid! Feng Ziying sat beside him and twisted his cheeks.

Fang Cai's foot-stepping whispered to the trampled one: "Don't fight with him." He can convince Wang Ziteng, and he can also take King Lu, who has such a great achievement? The man was stunned for a moment, and honestly shut up.

Jia Cong laughed a few more times: "The ancients said, if a dog bites a person, a person can't also bite a dog, but he can give a dog a stick." If one stick is not enough, you can add an extra stick. ”

Feng Ziying was smiling on her face, and she was still shouting: "Don't talk nonsense!" ”

Situ Pan smiled: "Ziying, let him speak." Then he asked, "What other sticks does Cong'er have?" ”

Jia Cong grimaced at Feng Ziying, turned his head to Situ Pan and said, "Aren't they just officers and soldiers pretending to be bandits?" He's, won't we? specially picked on corrupt officials and corrupt officials, got a lot of money, and the people also boasted of 'doing the right thing for heaven', and by the way, they picked some strong men to collect them. ”

Situ Pan said: "Corrupt officials and corrupt officials cannot be cured. Once robbed, they will intensify their efforts to loot the people's fat and ointment next time. ”

"That's good! The king of Jin lost money outside, and he had to raise taxes. There will also be capable people under the King of Jin, and they will definitely stop them when they see this situation. It's just that if you don't raise taxes, King Jin is tight~~ The loyal people will be disheartened. He sat down solemnly and beckoned, "Welcome to Yan Guo." Then there was a laugh. Jia Cong also said with a smile, "With the addition of corrupt officials and a layer of exploitation, the people of the Jin Kingdom will not be able to survive." Welcome to Yanguo. Losing money, running away from talents, and reducing the population, the Jin Kingdom will be greatly damaged. ”

Feng Ziying said: "It's just that we have to prevent the Jin State from sending people to our country to pretend to be bandits and rob." ”

Gan Lei said: "Lord Feng, don't worry, the last general and others are not eating rice." ”

Situ Pan nodded: "Hard-working generals." ”

All the generals clasped their fists together: "Die for the prince!" ”

A staff member, Mr. Luo, said: "Speaking of robbery, the King of Liao made an alliance with Russia and went to fight against Western Prussia together. He said with a smile, "It's just that I don't know how the Liao King fooled the Russian lords, they didn't help Russia fight, but they just borrowed Russia's way to go to the West to rob." ”

An old gentleman sitting at the bottom said: "It is because of the King of Liao that the people of our dynasty have a bad reputation over there now, just like the widows." ”

Jia Cong high-fived and smiled: "Well done!" Does the old gentleman know that Western people's money was originally stolen from the Americas? Black eats black. ”

Feng Ziying continued: "Yesterday, I just got the news that Qin Sangu sent back from Qiongzhou. ”

Jia Cong blinked: "Huh? "She has clearly abducted my fifth uncle, okay...... Who is the messenger?

"Huo Sheng has gathered soldiers and horses and ships to conquer Australia." The crowd was in an uproar. Australia is different from Dongying Goryeo, it is too big, not much smaller than the whole country added to our country.

Jia Cong sighed: "I said how he never occupied the small Nanyang countries, and ran away after grabbing the money." He dislikes those island countries. ”

Situ Pan raised his eyebrows: "He walks in front every time." He was the first to hit Dongying. ”

"Hmm." Jia Cong nodded, "Run away when you're done." Think he's actually very wise. He is different from the princes, he has no territory in his hands - even if Qiongzhou is counted, Qiongzhou is also a desert island, small, birds do not lay eggs, and there are few people at all. If he founded a country in Qiongzhou, Uncle Wang would not be able to turn a blind eye even if he wanted to. ”

A staff member said: "Since the division of the world, when the tax money from the treasury is paid, the prince Teng, the governor of Liangguang, has never stopped, and Qiongzhou has never paid a penny. ”

The corners of Situ Pan's mouth curled up again: The treasury is already in his own hands, and Wang Ziteng is really paying taxes to Yan State. Although he must have left a lot of himself, it is always a surrendering attitude. Nai Dao: "Isn't his money also given by the treasury?" The ministers laughed.

Jia Cong laughed for a while, and then said, "Dongying is really the first one he hits. But at that time, he joined forces with King Chen to rob, he was a minister, King Chen was the prince, and Dongying couldn't take his turn. Later, King Chen did not know what kind of illness he contracted and returned to China, and King Wu had already sent Wei Ruoxing to Dongying, and later there were Liu Tong and General Feng Tang of Lu State. Although Dongying is now divided into three genera, which one is not a solid backing? Even if Huo Sheng migrated the entire population of Qiongzhou, how much could he fill in? Will Wang Ziteng give it to others? In the end, it was not to make wedding clothes for Yan Wu Liu. Therefore, he didn't want Dongying or the rest of the small islands in the South Seas, just money. ”

Situ Pan pondered: "He has a lot of ambitions, and Australia is huge. ”

Jia Cong said: "Australia doesn't have much population, and they are all savages, so you don't need to fight, just go over." ”

Situ Pan was stunned: "What? ”

Jia Cong said again: "There is no immigrant population in Australia at this time, only some Western officials and thieves...... Ah, pirates, have built some strongholds, in order to rob the population and money of the savages, and the Westerners have not yet immigrated. I can destroy any * team I go to, and so can Huo Sheng. He didn't have to bother to kill the natives of Australia, because there were too few, and Australia's territory was too big, so it was good to avoid it when he first went. No prince grabbed land with him, he just moved people over to open up the wasteland and breed. Well, Australia is an empty land, and whoever occupies it owns whom. ”

Feng Ziying said: "I remember that your last chart said that this place was accessible to the Western England. ”

"That's right, that's what the other country said." Jia Cong blinked, "What they say, just forget it?" Huo Shengfei said that it was his, and Ying Li had the ability to rob it! They're still at war with France. When they finished fighting, Huo Sheng also moved a lot of people over. ”

Feng Ziying said: "Where did Huo Sheng get so many people. ”

Jia Cong said: "Even if he moves the entire Qiongzhou over, it is cost-effective, and he can establish a country over there." It doesn't take long for the population to reproduce. The difference between Australia and Dongying is that no one robs him! ”

Situ Pan frowned: "Why don't Westerners immigrate over?" ”

"Because most of the land is barren." Jia Cong said, "There are not many water sources, and there are many wild beasts. It is hot in winter and cold in summer, and when it is hot, you can boil it in a basin of water under the sun. Compared with the vast and fertile land of North America, the people of the West do not want to go to Australia. And no one. Both North and South America have populations and countries, and Westerners destroy other countries and occupy other people's territory. Australia is a wasteland, there are no houses, fields, roads, bridges, anything, just building a house and opening up the wasteland, these two things have been extremely laborious, just in the past, you have to live in caves to hunt for food. In fact, most of the small island countries in the South China Sea are also poor. Since they are all barren, of course it is better to choose the big one. ”

"I see." Situ Pan nodded and said, "For Huo Sheng, it is the most suitable place. ”

Jia Cong said: "There is no detailed sea chart circulating in that place, Huo Sheng must have sent someone to investigate it in the past few years, otherwise he would not even be able to find the port." It took a bit of thought. ”

Feng Ziying said: "I'm afraid he made that idea many years ago." ”

"No, it won't." Jia Cong unconsciously held his chin again, "My brother Baoyu is very familiar with him, and I knew him when I was a child, and he is not a very ambitious person." I think it should start with him falling out with King Chen. That fight is good friends with King Chen, and if the world is not divided, he should help King Chen win the heir. After a trip to Dongying, Huo Sheng found that he was blind before. King Chen is not only a silver-like pewter spearhead, but also does not listen to the persuasion of others, so he has the heart to become self-reliant. ”

An official said: "Since that place is big, why don't you take it for the prince?" Can't my Dayan beat Huo Sheng's little boy? ”

Situ Pan asked Gan Lei: "Twenty years later, General Gan may win over Huo Sheng?" ”

Gan Lei said: "Huo Sheng is just a stinky child, where is the opponent of the last general." ”

"Then let Huo Sheng help the lonely king open up the wasteland and build a house first." Situ Pan said, "It's not too late to collect it in the future." Jia Cong laughed.

Situ Pan then said to everyone: "Now Dongying's side has been settled. Since there is another vast and fertile land, the Westerners are fighting a civil war, and the King of Liao has nothing to do to rob and play, we should also send troops to North America. ”

Jia Cong immediately applauded. The heart said, hey, the older generation still lacks the pioneering spirit of ideas. If it weren't for Huo Sheng's stimulation, I said that I had dried my tongue, and this prince might not be able to make up his mind~~
