Zhang Jie and Ji Kang were arranged by Zhou Kong to sit in the front hall of the atrium, and under Ji Kang's turn of attacking, they had already obtained the news of Bailiyan's intention to send troops from Zhang Jie's mouth, and the price was that the eldest grandson cut the land, but I don't know how much he was going to cut, and what Bailiyan's asking price was.

When he was young, Bailiyan came slowly, and the two of them got up and stepped forward:

"The envoy came to the door uninvited to beg for mercy, and I hope that Hou Haihan will be Yongxing."

"Zhang Envoy said seriously, the door of Benhou's mansion is always open to the people of the world, and you are welcome to visit at any time, if you want to say begging for mercy, you can see outside, hehaha......"

Bai Liyan's laughter was frank, but when it came to the ears of Ji Kang and Zhang Jie, this laughter was not so pleasant, it should be said to be harsh, as if the heart was trembling, and there was a faint feeling of numbness.

After the three of them were seated, Bai Liyan asked Ji Kang first:

"The young marquis came here and didn't know what advice he had."

Ji Kang didn't plan to come, but King Ran Xian hit a soft nail, so he had to bite the bullet and find Bailiyan again. Then this morning Liang Guo sent an urgent mail to Chenling, the smallpox epidemic spread wildly, only in Jinye, in two months, the death toll soared to more than 1,100 people, more than 5,000 people were infected, making people panic, and the Son of Heaven Ji Tao has even announced the suspension of the dynasty until the smallpox epidemic ends.

Ji Kang truthfully stated that Bai Liyan's attitude was still cold:

"Last year, I warned the Son of Heaven, but it turned out to be a deaf ear, and if I took strict precautions at that time, I would not be so passive. And today, with the epidemic and the outbreak, it is difficult to suppress it. What is the use of the young marquis saying these things to Benhou, can Benhou still bring the dead people back to life. ”

"No one can do anything wrong unless he is a saint or a sage, and no one would have expected smallpox to be so powerful. The matter has come to this point, and I hope that Yongxing Hou will reach out to help my country quell smallpox and survive this catastrophe. The medicine of Xianguo, my country can buy it with a lot of money, and it will never let Yongxinghou suffer. ”

Bai Liyan disdained it and said coldly:

"Hmph, my Xianguo is not enough, how can I sell it to Liang Guo, your country can make do with the cow rash pulp and inoculate it yourself."

"But I heard that the method of extracting pulp from cow rash will kill one person for every 30,000 people, and the pure medicine extracted by Yicaotang will kill one person in 150,000 people, a difference of five times, what if there is a flash mistake that hurts the life of the Son of Heaven."

"There's nothing Ben Hou can do. The life of the Son of Heaven is fate, and the life of the people of my Xianguo is not fate. This is the end of the matter, and there is no need to mention it again. ”

"Yes!"

Bai Liyan's face darkened decisively, and Ji Kang had no choice but to swallow it back as soon as he spoke, and he was angry in his heart. In his opinion, Baili Yanming's refusal was really blackmail, and he wanted the lion to open his mouth to ask for more benefits.

After a short time, Bai Liyan and Zhang Jie said:

"Lord Zhang, I heard that there have been sporadic smallpox in your country recently, your country should take precautions, in case this disease is prevalent, and the guards take advantage of the situation to cover up and kill, your country's favor will not be easy to help."

"Hehe, Yongxing Hou rest assured, there are many cattle in my country, my king learned about smallpox, and he is mobilizing cattle in celebrities, and there is no big problem in a short time."

"Oh...... That's good, hehe. ”

The Central Plains has five major cattle-producing countries, Weiguo, Xuguo, Songguo, and Changsun Kingdom, among which Weiguo, Xuguo, and Song Kingdom benefit from a large area of grassland in the south and the pastoral area of Qianyue Mountain, so they can graze in large quantities. However, the body size of the cattle breed is only two-fifths of that of the Central Plains cattle, so although there are many cattle in the Changsun Kingdom, the meat production is not much.

In addition, there are also large pastures in the southern part of the land of Zhiguo and Jin, which are basically self-sufficient, and can also supply for export, Xianguo has the right to graze in the territory of Qianyue Mountain, and can also start grazing in large quantities after seizing the four counties, but due to the late grazing time, the population is still inferior to Wei, Xu, and Song Dong, millions of horses, cattle and sheep.

In addition, due to the hot climate of Changsun Country, their cattle are more susceptible to cowpox, and the cowpox extracted by Bailiyan from Gudappa Cattle Farm is a dairy cow imported from Changsun Country, and the incidence of cowpox is generally much higher. The cattle climate in the southern highlands is colder and the air is dryer, and the incidence of cowpox is significantly lower.

However, Liang is not a big cattle producer, and although its own production capacity meets the basic demand for cultivated land, the overall per capita ownership is small.

Zhang Jie's revelation of this information, on the one hand, is pretending to be calm, and with the virtue of the eldest grandson and the current situation, it is unlikely that smallpox will be the first priority.

On the other hand, he didn't say that he was wrong, there are many cattle in the eldest grandson country, and there are more cattle with cowpox, which is obviously said to Ji Kang, and the implication is that I have cows with cowpox here, "You want it, but it's not for nothing."

Although the total amount of cowpox in cattle is not much, cowpox can be infected and regenerated, and more cattle can be infected with cowpox through artificial inoculation and infection, so as to increase the cowpox population and solve some sub-needs.

Bai Liyan pretended to be recognized, not intending to expose Zhang Jie's tricks, he then said:

"Envoy Zhang came today, if it is still for arms, Ben Hou may not be able to do anything."

"Hehe, Marquis Yongxing, rest assured, this envoy will definitely satisfy Your Excellency and King Xian by coming here today."

"Oh, why doesn't Ben Hou understand." Bailiyan pretended to be puzzled, but in Ji Kang's opinion, it was a contrived image.

The next carved Zhang Jie took out a wooden letter from his arms, the wooden letter is a tool for private or unofficial secret communication, the shape is mostly flat, the length is half of the iron letter and bronze letter, and it can also be sealed with wax and fire paint.

"This is a handwritten letter that my king's envoy has passed on to your Excellency, and the Marquis of Yongxing will know it when he reads it."

"Yes, Wei Qi, bring the wooden letter."

"No!"

Wei Qi stepped forward to take the wooden letter and handed it to Bai Liyan, confirming that the secret letter was intact, Bai Li Yan picked up the seal and took out two silk books, the handwriting was indeed the handwriting of Cao Yan, the lord of the eldest grandson.

At the beginning of the content, I didn't forget to waste some pen and ink to praise King Xian and his exploits, and the following content is really ridiculous.

Cao Yan agreed to exchange one city territory in northern Sangbei and two city territories in southern Sangnan in exchange for Xianguo sending troops, but Xianguo wanted to recognize that Changsun State would seize the two counties of Weiguo in the future.

That is, three plots of land for more than fifteen plots of land, five times the profit. When it comes to business, he Bailiyan has never seen such a brazen person.

In addition, the full text does not mention the content of Xianguo's claim for the land of the country, that is, if the Xianguo obtains the land of the country, the eldest grandson will not recognize it, or he still wants to use this condition to bargain with the country. Although Bailiyan has no intention of seizing the land of the country, this bargaining chip must still be had, and without this bargaining chip, it will be difficult to make an offer at the negotiation table.

Although it is indeed shameless, Bailiyan still has to agree, otherwise this play will not be able to sing.

He happily put away the silk book, his eyes swept over Ji Kang, only to see that he pulled back his neck suddenly, pretending to be calm, thinking that he must have stretched his neck just now, and he wished to take the silk book to see it clearly.

"The eldest grandson is really a big hand, and Ben Hou is very satisfied with the content of this silk book, but it seems that there is something missing in it."

Bai Liyan hinted that Zhang Jiebu was saying:

"As long as King Xian is satisfied, everything is easy to discuss."

"Oh......" Bailiyan nodded with her short beard.

Zhang Jie's implication is that as long as King Xian approves of this transaction, the Xian State's claim for the land of the Wei State can be properly recognized by the Changsun State, but to what extent it is recognized depends on the attitude of the King of Xian.

The implication is that if King Xian is not satisfied with the three pieces of land sold by the eldest grandson and continues to ask for the land of the eldest grandson, then the bottom line of the eldest grandson's claim for the land of the defense of the country will be further tightened, and Zhang Jie should still have a secret letter with him, which can be taken out at any time to meet the request of the king of Xian.

Thinking through this layer, Bai Liyan continued:

"The eldest grandson is so sincere, if Benhou doesn't help with all his might, it seems that it won't work. It's just that this matter is very important, and now that Lord Taiwei is critically ill, Ben Hou needs some time to thread the needle, and I hope that Zhang Envoy will wait a few days? ”

"This ......" Zhang Jie's face was embarrassed, where could he wait a few more days, he hated that Xianguo would send troops immediately.

Seeing Zhang Jie's embarrassed face, Bai Liyan comforted him and said:

"Envoy Zhang, please rest assured, material and financial resources can be mobilized first, and manpower will not be hindered a few days later."

Zhang Jie was overjoyed when he heard the news, and he was grateful:

"Yongxing Hou keeps his promise and does what he says, he is grateful, and he will repay Your Excellency for his great kindness in the future."

"Hehaha...... Zhang Envoy said seriously, in fact, if your country had been able to do this as early as possible, and did not reject Ben Hou for those things outside his body, Ben Hou would have been able to see death and not save him. Speaking of which, the trade between the two countries was originally a mutually beneficial move, but why bother if it had to be like this. ”

"Yes, yes, what the Marquis of Yongxing said is very true, this envoy will keep it in mind, and he will definitely truthfully pass it on to my king."

No matter how flattering Zhang Jie's mouth was, Bai Liyan believed that the eldest grandson had already hated him for a big hole. Once this villain achieves his will, he will definitely be even more rampant in the future.

After agreeing with Zhang Jie, he immediately said goodbye and returned to the pavilion, most likely to send the news back to China.

Ji Kang still had no intention of leaving, and when Zhang Jie retreated, Bailiyan reined in his joy and issued an eviction order:

"Ben Hou still has official business, please forgive Ben Hou for being rude."

After finishing speaking, Bailiyan stood up and wanted to leave, Ji Kang's eyes were stunned, he never thought that someone would sit on a cold bench for him, let alone be driven away by the next guest order. He got up and hurriedly said:

"I hope that the Marquis of Yongxing will reach out to help, Ji Kang is here to thank you!"

Ji Kang leaned over and made a big salute, Bai Liyan glanced at him coldly, and said disdainfully:

"You can also use cattle to resist this disease, but the Son of Heaven has to ask for the medicine of our country, is the Son of Heaven so selfish, does it not cause the people of our country to die, forgive Benhou for being powerless, please go back to the young marquis!"

After finishing speaking, Baili Yantou did not go back, leaving Ji Kang alone and bent over and stood stiffly in place, his heart was turbulent and he couldn't calm down for a long time.

In his opinion, Bai Liyan's move was ruthless and unjust, it was tantamount to a slap in his Ji Kang's face, this kind of shame has never been seen in this life, even though Bai Liyan has a life-saving grace for him, but from this time on, there is only hatred.

However, the deep-seated reason is, in the final analysis, the ignorance and ignorance of the people in the current world, and Bailiyan cannot and cannot make everyone understand that what he did is a broad road, on the contrary, what he does intensifies the contradictions of existing political interest groups.

Therefore, it is impossible to let Ji Kang, and even the people of the world, clearly understand the nature of the world they are facing, and there is no way to talk about basic science, health and epidemic prevention.

Ji Kang's hatred is not so much hatred for Bailiyan's ruthlessness, unrighteousness and mercenary, but hate the essence of this world.

He is still stuck in the existing historical atmosphere, while Xianguo is moving towards a completely different path, the two are not at the same ideological level at all, and the development of things is also fundamentally different. What seems to Bailiyan is commonplace, but in the eyes of the world, it is a deviant move.
