Chapter 551: The Messenger Arrives, and the Strong Man Is Difficult (II)
Wang Mang listened to Mandra's difficulties, and silently weighed it in his heart, considering the impact of the natural disaster in history on the Dawan region.
"Anyway, you came in person, and you have met Da Shan Yu, then I have to give you another face. In this way, I don't want silver, and the grain is four million deniers.
This is my final bottom line, and it must not be less. I can probably also see that the weather is still going to be smooth in the past two years. As long as you seize this time and vigorously call on the people to plant, you can still quickly make up the shortfall, which is enough to deal with all kinds of disasters that I don't know if there will be in the future. If not, then you can go back and prepare for a big fight with me. ”
"Four million deniers?" Mandelola looked at Wang Mang's unchangeable attitude, gritted her teeth and said, "Okay, I promised you this for my majesty." Lord Wang, tell me when you plan to marry Princess Xiuying, so I can go back and prepare. ”
Wang Mang said: "Of course, the sooner the better, it's best to send Shi Xiuying to me tomorrow." Of course, you won't be able to deliver it tomorrow. All in all, it has to be fast. This woman, if I don't teach her a lesson for a day, my heart will be unstable. ”
"Teach her a lesson? I'm afraid you didn't want to take her for yourself a long time ago, right? Mandrola muttered secretly, thinking that Murong Xiao's statement was very reasonable, and Wang Mang must like Shi Xiuying. But for the sake of face, it's hard to say it directly.
In his opinion, Wang Mang caught Shi Xiuying, and he didn't abuse him at all, and he still treated him like a princess. He deeply thought that Wang Mang definitely fell in love with Shi Xiuying.
"Lord Wang, since you have said so, then I will definitely send her here as soon as possible. But do I send it directly here, or do I send it to Weiwuguan? ”
"Send it here, I guess I'll be here for the last month or two."
"Okay, in that case, I'll go back first. Today, a month later, I promise to send the princess and the grain, as well as Murong Xiao. ”
"It's easy to say, you go back, I still have to take care of my sister-in-law, so I won't send you." Wang Mang waved his hand.
"Free of charge!" Mandrola Road.
When he walked out of the room, Wang Jingyan said: "Xianggong, your bamboo pole is a bit excessive. Not to mention the sparse population of Dawan country, the area is also small. Now asking them to take out four million deniers of grain at one time is indeed difficult for some strong people. ”
Wang Mang said: "Although it is difficult for the strongmen, they can still cope with it." I sent someone to inquire about the situation in Dawan. According to the intelligence, the surplus grain after the compensation was enough to survive a year without a harvest. If after he goes back, let King Dawan increase his efforts to make up for the shortfall, then they will not be broken. ”
"If they refuse your terms, do you really want to send troops?"
"Of course!" Wang Mang frowned and said: "Dawan Kingdom has accumulated a lot of savings in recent years, and it is far from enough for us to accumulate wealth and rice grain in the past two years. Therefore, if they do not agree to my terms, I will definitely send troops to rob them. Da Dan over there, in fact, I also want to grab a little over, but they have strong troops, and I can't help them for the time being, so I use my armor to change. ”
"What a robber you are! People have worked hard to accumulate things for several years, and you moved most of them at once, so you are really not a good person. ”
"What's the solution? If I don't use some means, our people in Kyushu will suffer. That's the case, and that's all I can do. Of course, I didn't say I was a good person. ”
Shangguan Ningxuan said: "Xianggong, we didn't sleep well all night last night, and now that things are arranged, you can also come and lie down for a while, and take care of your spirits first." I expect that in the next day or two, there should be nothing wrong. ”
"Good!" Wang Mang pulled Wang Jingyan and lay on the bed together.
Shangguan Ningxuan leaned on Wang Mang's left side and fell asleep quietly.
Although Wang Jingyan was also relatively sleepy, her sleepiness had not yet reached its peak, she leaned on Wang Mang's right arm and murmured: "Xianggong, if Li Ming and the others don't find any useful news, what are you going to do?"
Also, if that Wind Sword Lord leads other masters to kill again, how can we resist it? Your sword can only block three calamities after breaking the seal. If they keep filling with human lives, I'm afraid we still won't be able to stop it, right? ”
Wang Mang said: "The restrictions of the Heavenly Sealing Sword, only we know, where do outsiders know this?" Besides, the reason why the Lord of the Wind Sword was able to get close to me last night was purely because you two little goblins fascinated me. Now, as long as he is within ten miles of me, I will be able to find out immediately.
When Ning Xuan's injury was completely recovered, my energy was also recuperated. When the time comes, I will use the ability of the Fengtian Sword to communicate with the Great Dao to find these Ji family members. I don't believe it, can they still hide from my sword? ”
"Then why don't you communicate with the Sword Detective now? The sooner we find them, the sooner we can rest assured. ”
"Their range of activities is so wide that I don't have a clue to investigate, and it's not a problem. It was only when I had identified a general location that I was able to find them out at once.
Besides, I'm not a martial arts master, my mental strength is not strong, and I can't communicate continuously. Only the Lord of the Nine Swords carries the Nine Swords with him, and the person with King Ji's strong blood, I can easily sense it. Those people of the Ji family who are not rich in blood, even with the help of the Heaven Sealing Sword, it is more troublesome for me to find them.
Only when Ning Xuan's injuries are completely healed, and then I join forces with her, with the help of her spiritual power and the power of the sword, can I find it to a greater extent. It is said that the people who came to the Ji family were also unlucky, and they met such a nemesis as me. If it's anyone else, where would I still have such a means.
Originally, I had planned not to trouble them recently, but they were so ignorant that they had to trouble me, and it seemed that I couldn't do it even if I didn't want to teach them a lesson. Jingyan, let's not talk too much, let's sleep. After a few days, everything will be decided. ”
Wang Jingyan nodded, feeling much more at ease: "You have such means, but I am completely relieved." You hold me tighter. ”
When Wang Mang heard this, he hugged Wang Jingyan tighter, almost making her breathing a little short. However, Wang Jingyan feels that this is very down-to-earth and very safe.
For Shangguan Ningxuan, Wang Mang didn't dare to hug her too tightly, after all, she was still injured and couldn't mess around.
In the county office of the city lord's mansion, Li Ming carefully interrogated the suspects one by one.
What did the ancestor do, how long has he been in Dingxiguan, who has he been in contact with recently, and even what he has eaten in the past few days, what time do he usually go to bed at night, these questions Li Ming asked several times.
When he didn't find any flaws and was in line with Wang Mang's speculation, he released these suspects one by one and removed them from suspicion.
Of course, for those inn guys, Li Ming sent his shrewd henchmen to follow secretly.
