Suzhou, Yangcheng

Yun Yao walked in the courtyard with a big belly, and Dr. Meng and Yan Niang accompanied her to talk.

When I walked into the garden and wanted to rest, I saw Qi Bao Vase and Qi Bao Box coming over in full swing.

The two of them didn't care about the heat, they didn't even wipe their sweat, they sat on the big stone in the garden, Yun Yao saw it and quickly asked the girl to take a cool handkerchief and hand it to the two.

"What's going on?" Yun Yao asked with a smile: "What do you do on a hot day, the eighth sister is better, and the sixth sister's belly is not small, so she should have a better life." ”

Qi Baobox wiped his sweat and said with anger on his face: "Isn't it angry, I just got a letter from Chang'an City, His Majesty actually ceded Yanzhou to Beiliang, our family heard the news and stayed in the house for a long time and didn't come out, I spent a long time to persuade him to come out, this time, it was a good temper, no way, I had to call the fourth brother and the sixth brother-in-law to persuade me, and the sixth sister and I came to hide and be quiet." ”

"Ceding Yanzhou?" Yun Yao was shocked when she heard this: "How many people are there in Yanzhou, how can they say that they will be cut?" 陛xià也...... It's too mediocre. ”

"Not really." Qi Bao was extremely angry, stomped his feet and said: "Grandma Xie got the letter and knelt at the gate of the palace to ask His Majesty to think twice, and asked for his life to take Xie Jiaerlang to fight on the battlefield, but His Majesty did not agree, for this reason, Grandma Xie almost died at the gate of the palace." ”

The more Qi Baohua spoke, the more angry he became, and he couldn't control his strength in a fit of anger, and smashed a good stone.

Yun Yao was far away from her, and saw that the stone she had carefully selected in the shape of a stool was destroyed like this. couldn't help complaining: "You are really, even if you are angry, you shouldn't be angry like this, and you can't even care about being a double person." I don't want to think about it, what if I use my strength to get old and hurt the baby in my belly? Tell me how to explain to my brother-in-law. ”

As soon as Yun Yao complained like this, Qi Baobox hurriedly held Qi Baohua and persuaded her to sit down, raised his head and smiled at Yun Yao: "Sixth sister is also angry, sister-in-law, don't blame her." ”

"No matter how angry you are, you have to take it easy." Yun Yao instructed again, and sat down with the strength of Peony. Tell Peony to serve tea, pour water, and bring snacks and fruits.

After Peony left, Doctor Meng and Yan Niang looked at Yun Yao as if they had something to say to the Qi family sisters. Just find an excuse to leave.

Yun Yao and the Qi family sisters were left in the entire garden, and Yun Yao smiled bitterly and said: "Our long-lived master wants to come out one by one, and the forbidden army that has been made so far is paper armor, how can he resist the Beiliang Iron Cavalry." He must have ceded Yanzhou because he was scared, and there was no way to do it. ”

"Isn't it His Majesty's mediocrity and incompetence that makes Da Zhou like this? Where did you think the momentum of Taizu and Taizong went? At that time, the Northern Liang forced by our Great Zhou had no way to retreat, forcing them to cede the land and pay compensation, and now, a year is as weak as a year, not only to call the minister Nagong but also to cede the land and pay compensation, and if it goes on like this, I am afraid that the Great Zhou is not far from the death of the country. ”

Qi Bao was angry in his heart. The babbling goes on and on.

Qi Baobox also had a lot of opinions about Emperor Chengping's cession of Yanzhou, and he did not stop Qi Baohua, occasionally inserting two sentences. is also expressing her dissatisfaction.

It's just that she is also the daughter-in-law of Emperor Chengping in the end, and it is very difficult to scold Emperor Chengping.

Yun Yao sat on the side and watched, and when these two people were almost venting, then she said: "What can we do if we are angry, we are just women in the back house." There is no way to do anything about these political affairs of the former dynasty, not to mention us. What about the gentlemen in the family? ”

In a word, the Qi treasure bottle and the Qi treasure box were also deflated.

Yun Yao saw the listlessness of these two people, and said with a smile: "It's not that there are no good things at all, just now the second sister wrote that she found an iron mine and a copper mine in Shuzhou, but it is a rich mine, and it can be mined to smelt iron and copper." ”

"That's a good thing." Qi Baobox's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he had already put aside the affairs of Yanzhou, and thought about the matter carefully in his heart.

Yun Yao didn't have as many eyes as Qi Baobox, he only said that Xiao Zhi was looking for iron ore, and if he could mine it to smelt iron tools, he would also be able to get some benefits for the people under his rule, and he was very happy from the bottom of his heart.

Qi Baohua, this girl, is only interested in cooking, and she really doesn't know much about politics and economics, she just smiled when she heard it, and didn't express her opinion.

Yun Yao saw that Qi Baobox was thinking about things, so she pulled Qi Baohua and spoke, and the two talked about food for a while, and then talked about the child in their stomachs, and they were very lively.

This Qi treasure box thought about it for about half an hour, and finally straightened things out, she didn't care about anything else, got up and said to Yun Yao: "Fourth sister-in-law, I'll go back first." ”

Yun Yao smiled: "You slow down, don't worry." ”

Qi Baobox nodded and left in a hurry.

Qi Baohua raised his eyebrows: "I don't know what I'm busy with all day long, I just came here and has to leave, and she left me here, I will definitely talk about her when I change my mind." ”

Yun Yao smiled: "Don't blame her, she is not easy, King Anjun is not invited to meet, the eighth has to help him think more, think more about the way back, plus Princess Pingyang died so miserably, King Anjun has always wanted to avenge Princess Pingyang, but he doesn't know poetry and books, and his martial arts are not very good, so this burden is also on the eighth child, speaking of which, the eighth is the most tired of your sisters." ”

Qi Baohua was silent when he said this, and said for a long time before he said: "If it is possible, who is willing to ask her to marry the prince?" It's really easy to be a royal daughter-in-law, isn't it impossible. ”

"Be considerate and considerate of her." Yun Yao squeezed Qi Baohua's hand.

Qi Baohua smiled bitterly: "I don't feel sorry for her." ”

Don't say how the two sisters-in-law are, just say that Qi Baobox had an idea and hurried back to the county king's mansion.

When I entered the door, I saw Han Xin, Qi Jing and Yu Long sitting in the house discussing things, and when they saw Qi Baobox coming back, the three of them made a www.biquge.info of fun, but Qi Baobox did not dodge, but went over generously: "What are you discussing?" ”

They are all very close relatives, and the three of them didn't hide it from her, Han Xin said with a stiff face: "Now that Yanzhou is ceded, I don't know which state Ming'er ceded again, Beiliang threatened a little, and my father was scared into a turtle with a shrunken head, and in the long run, the country will not be a country, I am discussing with the fourth brother and the sixth brother-in-law what we should do in Suzhou." ”

As soon as Qi Baobox heard this, he quickly sat down, reached out and knocked on the attention of the three on the table, and smiled confidently: "I was about to talk about this when I came back." ”

She said while looking at Han Xin: "Ye has always wanted to avenge his sister, but, now that Beiliang is strong, revenge is not so easy, I think, my father is becoming more and more mediocre now, today I want strange stones, tomorrow the whole army, the day after tomorrow to cut the land, sooner or later the people will have to make the people's grievances boiling, it is said that the people in many places will not be able to live, this is a good opportunity for us in Suzhou, it depends on whether the master has the courage." ”

"Will the plan be released?" As soon as Han Xin heard this, he hurriedly asked.

Qi Baobox said solemnly: "We produce salt in Suzhou, and now the fourth brother has asked someone to cook the salt of several warehouses, and it will be shipped to various places to sell in a few days, and at that time, we will not lack silver in our hands, plus these days we have sheared wool and spun yarn and woven blankets, and roasted all kinds of dried meat and fruits, which have sold a lot of money, so in a few years, Suzhou will inevitably be richer than Jiangnan." ”

That's right, the three of them all agreed, and they all listened to Qi Baobox say what she had in mind.

Qi Baobox continued: "Suzhou is already a fierce people, let's treat the people well, and exchange the benefits of salt and iron for peace on the side of Xidi, which will definitely win the hearts of the people. ”

"Nourishing ......"

Han Xin didn't expect Qi Baobox's ambition to be so big, and he was shocked when he heard this.

Yu Long was also frightened, and looked at Qi Baobox in a daze, he really couldn't imagine that her little girl had a bigger mind than a man.

However, Qi Jing was not surprised to learn about Qi Bao Box.

Hearing these words, Qi Jing already understood the meaning of Qi Baobox: "What you mean is to take wool and tea and salt to stabilize Xidi'an, and slowly infiltrate, so that they can't do without our tea and salt in Suzhou, and their wool and beef products will also have to be transported out through Suzhou, slowly, choking Xidi's throat, so that Xidi, whether it is the king or the people, will not dare to go against Suzhou." ”

Qi Baobox nodded, Qi Jing smiled and continued: "Xidi is stable, we can develop ourselves, we can settle the people to accumulate grain and soldiers, and after the development and growth, Suzhou can become the same as the vassal states of the Great Zhou, that is, His Majesty Xià also ordered the king of Fudoan." ”

Qi Baobox continued to nod.

Yu Long became more and more frightened, but Han Xin came back to his senses and thought about it carefully, and finally nodded: "What don't I dare, I originally had nothing, and now with your help, and the soldiers and civilians of Suzhou, I am out of the way, and no matter what my reputation will be in the future, after all, I can't leave the good Suzhou at the mercy of that faint king." ”

Han Xin immediately made up his mind, and the next thing was easy to do.

Qi Baobox said: "The fourth sister-in-law said that the second sister sent a letter, Shuzhou found iron ore and copper ore, iron ore can be used as all kinds of weapons, copper ore can make money, so, we don't have to rely on the court anymore, we can be completely self-reliant, I thought, let's take advantage of the more iron and more copper ore to transport over, secretly refine weapons, and wait for the future to control Xidi, if the master has the heart to forge ahead, we can attack Beiliang to avenge Sister Pingyang." ”

"We, do we really want to do this?"

At this time, Yu Long came back to his senses, and he still didn't believe that the three bold ones discussed self-reliance.

"If you're scared, you can go back." Qi Baobox glanced at him: "Your Majesty has passed a day by day, and I am getting more and more confused, if we don't think of a way, I don't know when Suzhou will fall into the hands of others, how much effort we have spent, how many ways to think of how many ways to stabilize the governance of Suzhou, and see that Suzhou will one day become rich in the world, you are willing to do so many things to govern Suzhou well?" ”

Yu Long was full of feelings when he said this, thought about it, slapped the table and stood up: "Godmother, the master is not scared, isn't it just self-reliance, do it." ”

"Okay." Qi Jing cheered: "It's a gentleman." (To be continued.) )
