"If you think about it, our current territory seems to be very large, but the only ones that can actually control it in our hands are Chicheng, Yexian and those horse farms. The hundreds of thousands of troops of Wang Gan in Xinzhou are still raging, and the three counties of Yunbei are even more disobedient to the rule of Chicheng. Seeing that the attitude of his subordinates had changed, Qin Wang's tone also softened.

"But general, if you give up so much power to that Li Mingzhi, is Akagi still our Akagi? Is the Tea Horse Market still our Tea Horse Market? Although he accepted Qin Wang's statement, Yang Xuan still felt aggrieved.

"Hehe, if you take refuge in others, you naturally want people to see your loyalty and usefulness, right? I handed over the rights, and as for what the people below do, then I can't control it. This kind of thing, our Yin County Order is an expert, so Li Mingzhi will hand it over to you to deal with, okay? As long as the army and tax power are in our hands, the tea and horse market will still be ours. Qin Forget looked at Yin Xian and said happily.

Qin Forget has always known how to make good use of people, Yin Xian was born as a small official, he has done this kind of thing all his life, and he has done this kind of thing all his life, and it is better to hand over Li Mingzhi to him to deal with.

Sure enough, Yin Xian also laughed when he heard Qin Yu say this, "Hehe, don't be so nervous, this matter is not so troublesome." As far as I know, Li Mingzhi is a very important person for Li Chengan, and he has always been the same to them. This big man is powerful, but he may not be clear about the messy pickles in the yamen. ”

"Hey, I said Lao Yin, don't be pretentious, if you have something to say, say it quickly, see that everyone is in a hurry." Yang Xuan couldn't stand it anymore and urged.

"Come on, General Yang, don't worry." Yin Xian smiled again, "Didn't he Li Mingzhi want all the rights?" Okay, give it all to him. Financial power, let's give him a fake account book, the real situation, and don't reveal it to him at all. Human rights, he arranges whoever he likes to come in, anyway, we will supply his people up and down, and we won't let him do anything. Civil rights, hehe, will the people of Akagi take care of him? The military power is still in our hands, and without these four most critical rights, I see how he Li Mingzhi will make trouble. ”

After Yin Xian finished speaking, Yang Xuan and the others were dumbfounded and elated. Doing so is like killing people with a blunt knife, what kind of person with a good temper can stand being raised as a pig by others?

"Haha, Lao Yin, it turns out that your old boy didn't do anything before, right?" Yang Xuan listened happily and patted Yin Xian's shoulder and said unabashedly.

Yin Xian couldn't cry or laugh when he heard Yang Xuan say this, the key was that Yang Xuan couldn't afford to provoke him, so he could only smile bitterly.

The others also applauded, and they were ready to teach Li Mingzhi a lesson.

"Okay, okay, sure enough, Yin Xian still has a way." Qin Forget put away his smile, "Since you have a plan, then let it go according to your ideas, but you must be prepared in advance, just like the fake account book you said, you must not let people see the flaws, Li Mingzhi is not a fool, after suffering a few losses, he will naturally send someone who is good at this aspect to deal with you." ”

"The general can rest assured, Yin Xian will live up to his mission." Yin Xian is also in the right way.

"That's good, besides, if you toss Li Mingzhi, I won't be able to stay in Chicheng, otherwise Li Mingzhi won't annoy me to death? Yang Xuan, you go back and prepare, we will rush to Xinzhou in three days, Wang Gan has been making a fuss for a long time, it's time to get out. Our first and second leaders in Akagi are not there, which also makes Li Mingzhi want to cry. ”

"Yes!" As soon as he heard that Qin Forget was going to do something to the king of Xinzhou, Yang Xuan was excited, he was finally going to fight, it was still a big battle, and he had been waiting for this day for a long time.

"Well, the Chicheng army does not bring a single soldier, and Liu Jian has 30,000 soldiers, which is enough. In addition, once the curtain came down on those three counties, Wang Ping and Ding Chen immediately led their respective armies into Chen County to help the wind and deter Xiaoxiao. Jin Yan went to the three counties, and the prime minister did all the affairs of the three counties! ”

"Yes!" Wang Ping and Ding Chen immediately got up and took the order with a bang.

That Jin Yan, who had been snubbed by Qin Forget for a long time, was not here, he was still struggling in the pasture, if he knew that Qin Forget had given him such an important position, he didn't know how happy he would be.

Qin Wang's reuse of Jin Yan is not without reason, although Jin Yan is talented, but he is too arrogant, and Qin Forget has been grinding off his edges and corners. After sending him to the nursery for a year and a few months on the ranch, Jin Yan became a lot more mellow.

This guy not only manages the ranch in an orderly manner and cleans up the Khitan people properly, but also formulates a set of etiquette norms. The etiquette formulated by Jin Yan is almost the same as that of the Great Yan Court, except that the servile etiquette such as kneeling is abolished, which is very popular with Qin Wang.

Finalizing the way to deal with Li Mingzhi, the second thing Qin Forget wanted to see was Jin Cheng and Chen Wan'er.

During this period of time, Qin Wang's nearly two million stone of grain from Huang Ling, Huang Jinshan, and Xiao Ding had been consumed by the rapidly growing population. The entire Chicheng and Ye counties are now no less than 400,000 people, and the key is that they are still carrying out extremely heavy work, and the consumption of food is a terrifying number for the two counties. In just one month, Akagi will consume more than 200,000 koku of grain, which is still very economical.

However, Qin forgot that he did not have a grain production area, and completely relied on buying from outside. So in the past six months, whether Qin forgot to blackmail, or rent out warehouses and warehouses, half of the millions of silver he obtained were used by him to purchase goods, and the other half was used to buy grain. Even so, the war preparation food in Qin Wang's hand was only 500,000 stones.

Qin Forget decided to recover Xinzhou and the three counties, so how much more population would he have to add? Qin forgot not to know, he only knew that he was short of food, and he lacked countless food.

So these two people must be seen, if they don't arrange everything, if they don't know what they know, he doesn't feel at ease to go to New State.

"Two, how is it, our goods in Akagi are quite well prepared?" At the dining table, Qin Forget asked while eating coarse yellow rice.

On the dinner table, there was a large pot of coarse rice, and occasionally a few moldy green dots could be seen. A plate of fried dried fish and two plates of wild vegetables, this is Qin Wang's dinner, or is it that he has been in poor health recently, so he made it to nourish his body, the same as before, there is not much change.

"Forget my brother, our life in Akagi is getting better and better, you don't need to treat yourself like this." Chen Wan'er looked at Qin Wang's thin little face distressedly, and poured the snow-white rice from her bowl into Qin Wang's bowl.

This is because Jin Cheng and Chen Wan'er are coming, and Qin Forget specially ordered the kitchen to do it. Qin Forget knew that unlike him, these two had been clothed and fed all their lives, and even when they were at their most depressed, they had never eaten what he ate every day, and he was willing to make an exception for the two of them.

"I know you have a big appetite, I've eaten it, help my eldest brother share some of it." Jin Cheng also poured his own rice into Qin Wang's bowl.

Qin Forget smiled slightly, took a mouthful of white rice and put it in his mouth, and chewed it carefully for a while, "Fragrant, really fragrant, I told myself that unless the people of Chicheng can eat such rice."

, I will only eat it, this bite is a small reward for my efforts in the past six months. ”

After saying that, Qin forgot to put down his chopsticks and stopped taking a bite.

Chen Wan'er and Jin Cheng glanced at each other, and they both smiled helplessly, but they both knew that Qin was stubborn, and they didn't persuade him anymore.

"Now our chamber of commerce has expanded by more than thirty people, and there are a total of eighty-three people so far. With the joint efforts of everyone, more than one million stone of various goods have been accumulated, of which tea, silk, porcelain, and lacquerware account for the vast majority. Jin Cheng took over the topic just now and said.

"Although our total amount is not much, we can't compare with the five majors, but we have a wide variety of goods, and we have goods from all countries in the world, and we also have a certain competitiveness." Chen Wan'er added.

"A million stones...... Not less. Akagi's monthly income is only 50,000 taels, and half of it has to be used to buy food, so it's hard for you. What about grain? How much food is already on the way? ”

Jincheng is in charge of the Qi Chu Chamber of Commerce, and most of the grain in the world is in the two countries, especially the Chu State, because the climate is suitable, the soil is fertile, and the rice is harvested twice a year in many places, as if it is the granary of the world.

Jin Cheng pondered, "There are almost 100,000 stones. ”

"100,000 stones?" Qin Wang's brows furrowed, "Don't hide it from the two of you, I am ready to take back Xinzhou and the three counties, in addition to the war preparation grain, with the grain in our hands that is only 500,000 stones, it is very likely that we will not be able to hold it." ”

Hearing Qin Wang's words, both of them were shocked, it seemed that this was going to be a war. Jincheng felt bitter in his heart, with Akagi's family background, there are still so many projects and people to resettle, and it has always been beyond his means, it is really difficult to support a war, or what he is most afraid of now is also a war.

Qin Forget has brought in 10 million taels of silver, which is indeed a lot to say, a lot of scary, but during this period of time, it has been spent almost unknowingly. Jin Cheng once calculated that they would spend nearly 100,000 taels of silver almost a day, which made Jin Cheng tremble.

Chen Wan'er didn't think about this, she knew that as long as there was a battle, Qin Forget would definitely go in person, war meant danger and death, she really didn't want Qin Forget to take risks. What I thought in my heart was unconsciously expressed on my face.

Qin Wang's expressions were all in his eyes, especially Chen Wan'er, who moved him even more. It's just that he is also helpless, if possible, he is not willing to start a war now, but Wang Gan does not give him a choice.

Wang Gan is not stupid, and he can clearly see the huge benefits that the tea and horse market will bring. For him, the best way to get a piece of the tea and horse market or simply monopolize the tea and horse market is to break the drinking horse county where Liu Jian's water master is located, only in this way can he control the water master camp and his dream can be realized. Therefore, in the three months since he entered Xinzhou, he has been storming Yuma County, and the closer to the Mid-Autumn Festival, the more fierce the offensive becomes. Liu Jian sent a letter a few days ago, saying that if he kept it like this, he was afraid that he would really not be able to hold it.

"I don't want to do this either, it's just that Wang Gan's offensive is becoming more and more fierce, and Liu Jian is really hard to support in Yuma County, and he has only defended but not attacked, and his morale has dropped greatly. If this continues, I'm afraid that Yinma County will not be guaranteed, and the camp of the water division will not be guaranteed. This battle has to be fought, so don't buy goods, just buy all the grain. Qin Forget said with a wry smile.

"Well, the general must have the general's reason, and I will send a message to the chamber of commerce under my command after I go back." Hearing Qin Forget say this, Jin Cheng didn't say anything more.

"Then be careful yourself." Chen Wan'er didn't talk nonsense, but said to Qin Forget worriedly.
