Muskets, artillery, new models and new styles are constantly appearing in the hands of the craftsmen. For example, the hand cannon-like musket, the flare cannon, the bamboo barrel containing gunpowder, turned into a disposable bazooka, is really a rocket, because of the arrows inserted in it, so the inspiration is tied to the arrows, the gunpowder is ignited, and a row of arrows is fired.

Fixed the explosives package on the bed, put Mitsubishi nails in the clay pot, and even proposed to let people carry gunpowder on their backs, light it and fly up to the city, Xin Hao was found by Zou Yu after killing two prisoners, and called it off.

Let the craftsman supervise as many experiments as possible, of course, for the sake of safety, the initial test models are used in prisoners, even if they are blown up and there is an accident, they are still prisoners. After a period of freshness, Zou Yu didn't guard it every day.

"You mean Dou Jiande wants to get married? Is this true or false, could it be a suspicious plan? Zou Yu asked Pei Shiqing.

"Back to Prime Minister, this matter was facilitated by Shiju's cousin, and it was his nephew Pei Xuanji who sent the envoy, just to let his subordinates tell you that this matter is true, Dou Jiande is worried about your revenge, and at the same time, he is also trying to win over an ally." Pei Shiqing, a handsome middle-aged man, replied with a smile.

"Fear of retaliation? Our army, but not moving, this is also afraid? ”

Zou Yu still believes Pei Shiqing's words, after all, the Pei family has invested in himself early on, and it is Pei Shiju who makes the decision. The key is that Pei Shiju's ability is very good, from the time Pei Shiqing came over, he deliberately learned that he had most of his credit for running the Western Regions, fighting Tuyuhun, and designing to split the Turks.

"It turned out to be the strategy of Wenxi County Prince! I don't know what the county government recommends? Zou Yu asked with a slightly moved face.

"Back to the prince, my cousin is just a suggestion, how to make a specific decision is up to the prince!" Pei Shiqing said respectfully.

"Hmm!" Zou Yu nodded slightly, motioning for him to continue.

"My cousin suggested accepting Dou Jiande's marriage! Dou Jiande has no ambitions and no determination to dominate the world, so now the prince accepts Dou Jiande's daughter, and it will be convenient to accept his power in the future! Pei Shiqing said.

"Let me think about it!" Zou Yu frowned and said.

He also knows that marriage is a good means, but there is always something awkward in his life with a person who has never met and has a little emotional foundation, and now there are four at home and outside. It turned out that I was very envious, envious of other people's three wives and four concubines, there were really too many, only to know that there were more women, and they were also on top!

Zou Yu didn't consult with anyone else, because the result of the discussion went without saying that he knew that he must have persuaded him to accept the marriage.

The next day, Zou Yu called Pei Shiqing again, and said with a straight face: "Tell Dou Jiande's people that marriage is okay, but it's not this king, it's Luo Cheng, the son of Luo Yi, the governor of Youzhou!" As a condition, I can sell weapons to Hebei! In addition, a mutual market was established in Youzhou, and salt, glass, woolen clothes, coal, canned fruits, and canned fish and meat could be sold to them. ”

Zou Yu made a decision after thinking about it overnight, to support Dou Jiande, Dou Jiande couldn't beat Li Yuan, but now his strength has been greatly damaged, and he is definitely not an opponent, so support it.

After the year, the output of many things increased, and it was better to find a larger buyer and sell them to Dou Jiande than to sell them to Li Yuan.

As for why Luo Cheng, because Luo Yi guards Youzhou, and the mutual market is also established in Youzhou, there is a layer of marriage relationship, which also makes Dou Jiande more assured.

"My subordinates understand!" Pei Shiqing naturally understood his own forces, and after thinking about it slightly, he understood Zou Yu's intentions, and immediately nodded and said.

"Well, take the sample as a return gift, let them bring some back, and there is a shortage of people in the imperial court, so ask if there are any school-age young people in each family who are willing to go out." Zou Yu said with a smile.

"Whoa!" Pei Shiqing understood that this was Zou Yu's reciprocation, and asked them if the Pei family had anyone who was willing to be an official, but Pei Shiqing also knew that Zou Yu had to be pragmatic in employing people, otherwise it would be a false position, so he just agreed.

Since it was Pei Xuanji who came, Zou Yu still set up a banquet for face, and Li Xiuning, who had stayed in Jinyang and did not go home, was also present, which made Zou Yu a little headache. After all, if you don't want to turn your face with Li Yuan, you can't arrest her.

Li Xiuning knew that the person who came was Pei Xuanji, and she was also deeply surprised, in her impression, except for the family in the area occupied by Zou Yu, there was no one in the rest of the place, and she took the initiative to take the initiative, looking at Pei Shiqing who talked and introduced Pei Xuanji, Li Xiuning couldn't help but think more.

The strength of the Pei family is not small, now think about it carefully, Pei Shiqing, Pei Renji and his son, plus the visiting Pei Xuanji, does this indicate that the Pei family has planned to take refuge in Jinyang.

The Pei family, the Xue family, and the two great families in Hedong, who seem to be famous now, have all arrived in Jinyang, which is not a good thing, Li Xiuning was secretly anxious, but there was no way.

Without waiting for them to leave, another group of envoys arrived in Jinyang, unexpectedly, this group of envoys was not Wang Shichong's people, nor was it Turkic, but the only daughter of Xiao Mo in Jiangnan, Xiao Yuexian, who had the title of the first beauty in Jiangnan.

There were also envoys from Goguryeo, Silla, and Baekje, which made Li Xiuning and Pei Xuanji quite surprised, after all, it took several parties to kill and live in the first half of the year.

The fact that the envoys of the three parties did not go to Chang'an or Luoyang is more telling and shows that the three countries of the peninsula believe that Jinyang is the orthodoxy of the Central Plains.

Xiao Yuexian is tall, especially the long legs looming in the skirt, which makes people can't help but want to take a peek; The skin is fair, delicate, gentle with aura, a typical Jiangnan girl, as soon as Wu Nong's soft words are spoken, Zou Yu reminds Zou Yu of the Empress Dowager Xiao who moved back to Jinyang.

In this era of no cosmetics, women in the north, even if they are beautiful, their skin is much worse than that of women in the south, and as soon as Xiao Yuexian came, even the heroic Li Xiuning flashed a look of jealousy in her eyes.

Zou Yu treated everyone equally, set up a banquet to entertain everyone, and then received the envoys separately.

"Miss Xiao has worked hard all the way!"

"Yuexian, thank you Prime Minister for your hospitality!"

"I don't know if Miss Xiao is thousands of miles away and came to Jinyang, what's the matter?" After the politeness, Zou Yu asked.

"Yuexian wants to reach an agreement with the prime minister, you and me, to conduct business dealings!" Xiao Yuexian said with a salute.

"I've always been very much in favor of business dealings, I don't know what Miss Xiao wants to trade?" Knowing Xiao Miao's condition for a long time, Zou Yu asked while thinking in his mind.

"Gangnam's unique tea, silk! I can sell it to you in large quantities! Xiao Yuexian said slightly nervously.

Originally, her plan was to trade in Liaodong, and the best trading object was the three countries of the peninsula, where did she know that when she inquired in Liaodong, she learned that half of Goguryeo's land had been lost, and Silla Baekje was also poor, and she could buy it, but the number was not large, and the best trading object became the Jinyang court, and she couldn't help but be very interested in Zou Yu, so she simply came to Jinyang.

"Silk, tea, should not be sold, right? Whether it is Guanzhong or other places, it can be sold, how did Miss Xiao remember to run so far? Zou Yu asked puzzled.

"The silk tea in the south of the Yangtze River is indeed not worried about selling, but there are many pirates in the Nanyang, and there are very few Hu merchants, and the biggest sales channel is to go to the Western Regions in Guanzhong! It's just that today's prime minister of the world also knows that it is difficult to have a stable road! And I want to open up a new business route! Xiao Yuexian explained.

"Well, it's true, in the troubled times, there is no place to be stable, and Miss Xiao is very right to choose us to trade. Don't know what you want? Zou Yu agreed.

Goguryeo, Silla, and Baekje are reluctant to trade with Xiao Yuexian, one of the biggest reasons is that they don't want to offend Zou Yu because of silk tea, after all, what they want more is weapons.

"Liaodong's leather goods, war horses, these are what I want, it's really not good, gold, silver can also be." Xiao Yuexian said.

"Hehe, Miss Xiao has a good eye, but the south of the Yangtze River is hot and humid, and I am afraid that only the best leather goods can be sold! As for the war horse, don't think about it. There are many wealthy merchants in Jiangnan, and if they want to come to gold, silver must be very popular. Zou Yu said with a smile.

"The prime minister said that Jiangnan is rich, and the sales of ordinary things are really bad, and the little girl can't think of those things being popular for a while!" Xiao Yuexian nodded and said.

"What does Miss Xiao think of Jinyang?" Zou Yu asked.

"It's super expected, I can't imagine it! Could it be that the prime minister is willing to sell these items? Xiao Yuexian asked unexpectedly.

"Hehe, cement is not for sale, because we don't have enough, but glass products, Miss Xiao is willing, you can buy some back, as well as Jinyang's white paper, leather goods, wool clothes, perfume, toilet water, mosquito coils, these things should be very popular!" Zou Yu said with a smile.

"Glass, that's it! What is white paper and leather goods? Perfume and toilet water turned out to be in Jinyang! These are certainly good! Xiao Yuexian's face was full of surprise and said in surprise.

Zou Yu was not surprised by Xiao Yuexian's reaction, because the output was limited in the past, and there were not many sold to other places, so many people did not know that this was produced in Jinyang, and the price outside was not low.

"Hehe, I'll ask people to list all the items on sale, everyone can visit first, and then decide which ones are enough to buy, and decide the number of transactions!" Zou Yu said with a smile.

"It's a good feeling! Thank you, Lord Wang! Xiao Yuexian said overjoyed.

"If Miss Xiao can really trade in large quantities, the place can choose Jiangnan, your ship is too small, and it is too dangerous to take the sea route!" Zou Yu continued.

"It's... Of course, there is no problem with this, if it is traded in Jiangnan, the little woman can come forward and contact the rest of the people to ensure the amount that the prime minister needs! Xiao Yuexian couldn't help it, and said with a little trembling excitement.

"There's no problem, it's decided, in the whole Jiangnan, I only recognize Miss Xiao, when the number and price of goods are fixed on my side, how much you sell, you earn." Zou Yu nodded and said.

"The little woman thanked the prime minister, this really helped a lot!" Xiao Yuexian got up and said politely.

"Miss Xiao doesn't need to be polite, I heard that the Queen Mother is Miss Xiao's own family, Miss Xiao can go and visit." Zou Yu said calmly.

"The Empress Dowager is my grandmother's generation, thank the prime minister again, and the little woman will retire!" Xiao Yuexian was stunned for a moment and replied.

"Hmm." Zou Yu smiled and sent Xiao Yuexian away, and after she left, she glanced down and secretly glad that she didn't make a fool of her!

In the face of this kind of goddess-level character, even he hardened slightly to show respect! The key is that this kind of Jiangnan woman's grace makes men involuntarily have a feeling of wanting to have kneading, taking it with them, and caring for them at any time.

After receiving Xiao Yuexian, as for the envoys of the three countries of the peninsula, they were not so polite, they just asked casually, and then asked them to participate in the commodity display together the next day, and the items that were pleasant were proposed for trading.

As for Xiao Yuexian, she followed the guards to the residence of the Empress Dowager Xiao, because of the Empress Dowager Xiao's return, the original Jinyang Palace was given to her to live in, and Concubine Wei simply moved into another palace that Zou Yu had renovated, which was originally intended to be used as an office area. As a pragmatic person, the palace occupies too much land and is completely unnecessary, just like the White House in the future, leaving enough for royal use, part of the office, and the rest can be open to the common people to visit.

"Xiao family, Xiao Yuexian, see the Empress Dowager!" In the palace, Xiao Yuexian met the legendary grandmother of her family.

"Xiao Yuexian! Are you Xiao Miao's daughter? Although Empress Dowager Xiao is asking, her tone is very certain, after all, Xiao Miao's claim to be the emperor is not small, and no one in the world does not know, not to mention the only daughter Xiao Yuexian, as well as the title of the first beauty in Jiangnan.

"Back to the Empress Dowager, yes!" Xiao Yuexian replied respectfully. She still admires this grandmother very much.

"Well, yes, she deserves the title of the first beauty in Jiangnan." Empress Dowager Xiao stepped forward and pulled Xiao Yuexian, nodded with a smile and exclaimed, it was rare to see the juniors of her family, which made her feel a lot better.

"Grandma has won the prize, it's far worse than you coming to the Moon Immortal!" Xiao Yuexian took advantage of the situation to support the Empress Dowager Xiao and smiled sweetly.

"The little mouth is so sweet! Grandma's old man! Empress Dowager Xiao said with a smile, then pulled Xiao Yuexian to sit down and asked, "Why did you come to Jinyang?" Could it be that he is married? Why didn't the old woman hear the wind? ”

"No, grandma, Yuexian came here to discuss business." Xiao Yuexian's face flushed, and she quickly explained.

"Business? Well, Jinyang does have its own uniqueness! Many things have never been seen before! Empress Dowager Xiao nodded slightly and said affirmatively.

"Grandma, you think so too, that's great!" Xiao Yuexian said happily.

"Jinyang! To be honest, I don't know the old woman anymore. This Zou Changfeng's ability is not small, no wonder His Majesty valued it so much back then! Empress Dowager Xiao looked into the distance and sighed.

"Grandma, you... You..."Xiao Yuexian looked at Empress Dowager Xiao in surprise.

"You want to say, why didn't Grandma seize power?" Empress Dowager Xiao asked with a smile.
