One hundred iron cloth shirts, each priced at one hundred and fifty inches of silver, sold to An Taihou, one hundred pieces were fifteen thousand, and one hundred swords were sold at a price of thirty inches of silver each, totaling eighteen thousand inches of silver, and the purchasing power was equivalent to twenty or twenty-two thousand copper coins, and in actual conditions, a little more grain and grass materials could be purchased.

For more than half a year, the deserted village has successively saved a lot, there are 40,000 or 50,000 copper coins, more than 10,000 yuan of silver, excluding other materials, it seems that it is still quite considerable, in fact, as soon as the war starts, the bereavement payment for the dead is a large expenditure, as little as 10 copper coins, and as much as 350 yuan, at least to make up for the cultivation output of a laborer for two or three years, in order to morally say more.

Therefore, at the end of the year, the funds required for the production of raw materials, labor costs and development are removed, and the actual book profit is not much.

However, the imperial court was in financial distress, and there was no hope for bereavement benefits, and at the time of survival, countless war dead were numerous, and large-scale tax cuts were unrealistic, so the families of military martyrs basically did not receive any actual preferential treatment.

Even Zhao Xun took 20,000 copper coins from the deserted village in August this year, and 3,000 yuan of silver per inch in case of emergency, and after tossing it several times, Bailiyan (that is, Wei Xian) was almost bankrupt, if it weren't for Ding Su going south and relying on the rear market of the Jin Kingdom to sell special products, he would definitely be bankrupt now

Sent Su Hong and the guards away, Bailiyan rode to Yongtai Gate, and after showing his tooth card, he saw King Xian who was enjoying the music in the Baihua Pavilion of the Imperial Garden. Jiang Hai must have known that he was coming, and he had already prepared his words:

"The widow's General Wei really did not disappoint the widow, and the widow was deeply relieved that he had won three battles and three victories. Today, I will give you the position of a guard, a Jin secretary, a reward of five gold collars, a thousand pieces of money, five pieces of silk, a piece of white jade, and two beautiful maids to encourage. ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Baili Yan bowed and said, "The king, the last general has already been married, and the two of them also ask the king to take back their fate." ”

King Xian stood up, motioned for the musician to stand back, and approached Bailiyan and laughed:

"I think I'm a civil and military doctor of the Manchu Dynasty in Xianguo, who is not a wife and concubine, a group of maidservants, beautiful women, and only Zhao Qing and General Wei's homes are as flat as white walls, and there is nothing. The widow rewarded General Wei with two beautiful maids, and it could also make General Wei sincerely afraid, whether the widow's reward was less, or General Wei felt ashamed to abandon the widow. ”

"The last general will not dare, the last general will be deeply favored by the king, how dare he turn his back on the king."

"Then why don't you give it to the widow?"

Jiang Hai asked, Bai Liyan thought to herself that these two women might not be able to retreat today:

"The king, the last general has only one Yicaotang in the Lingling, and it is difficult to go back on weekdays and January, and it is useless to raise a beautiful maid, and it is often a long time to destroy flowers, and the face is old, and the appearance of the two is wrong, and the king is the last general."

"Oh, it seems that General Wei will really pity the fragrance and cherish the jade, and he is still a good breed with affection and righteousness. But General Wei has made great contributions to the widows, and he is about to build a new city, when General Wei moves to the new city, how can he do it if there is no one to serve him at home, General Wei, do you say? ”

"This ...... Could it be that the king has already decided to build a new city? ”

"Exactly, next month, the widow will transfer 100,000 people and 100,000 garrisons, build a new city in Guantang Canal, prepare to build iron mines and smelt iron in Changqu, and General Wei will be the new minister, and the governor will have full authority to implement the new policy after the establishment of the new city.

The widow has ordered Zhao Xun, the new city must be built before the spring ploughing, as for General Wei's new policy, the Black Turban Army may be difficult to repel for a year or two, General Wei wants to let the widow see the effect of the new deal within three years, what does General Wei think. ”

"Please be the king's heart, strengthen the wall and clear the wilderness and replace the government with business, and the effect will be seen within three years."

"Very good, even so, General Wei is busy with official business, and the widow rewards two beautiful maids who are driven by the general, but the general can refuse."

"The last general will obey."

Seeing Bailiyan's red face, King Xian laughed.

After a while, the musician and dancer played the dance music again, and the eunuch came with two graceful and graceful women, dressed in pink and neon clothes, Jiang Hai pointed to the woman, and said very casually:

"You two will be with General Wei from today onwards, you can understand."

"No!" The two daughters said in unison, and then squatted down to Bailiyan and saluted: "I've seen General Wei." ”

"Oh, oh......" Bai Liyan blushed, nodding or shaking her head, extremely embarrassed.

These two women are at most seventeen years old, and they are graceful and beautiful, and it is really difficult for people to control the impulse under their crotches.

After a short while, King Xian asked the two women to step aside and continued to say to Bai Liyan:

"General Wei, I guess Marquis An Taihou has already told you."

"The king is talking about the method of making ice?"

"General Wei is well-informed, so he must not be stingy."

Jiang Hai said this in person, which made Bai Liyan's heart extremely unhappy.

A woman's personal rights are sold at will like a plaything, as a general of the king, his own things are still items that King Xian can sell at will, for his own desires, King Xian can squander the rights in his hands without a bottom line, so what is he in the eyes of King Xian, is it when Jin Guo only needs to name names, his own head can also be exchanged for Jiang Hai's betrayal.

Bai Liyan didn't dare to continue to think about it, the more he thought about it, the more he thought about it, the answer was yes, and he even doubted whether he had voted for the wrong master again.

Since ancient times, the monarch wants the minister to die, the minister has to die, the father wants the son to die, the son has to die, Jiang Hai's bottom line is giving full play to the realm of the king's death. At this time, even though his heart was turned upside down, he couldn't have a seizure on his face.

Bai Liyan remained silent, and after thinking for a while, she said calmly:

"The king, in the end, the general thinks that it is the way for the country to survive with small profits for big profits, and it is understandable. The method of making ice is a small technique, if it can be exchanged for greater benefits for the Xian country, how can the end be stingy. But I don't know what benefits Antai Hou Ji will use in exchange for the method of making ice at the end of the general, so that the king can agree to this matter. ”

"So, General Wei thinks that the widow is doing the right thing?"

"It depends on what the king gets from Liang Guo."

General Na Wei thought that the title of "county king" could be worth this deal. ”

"It's worth it, it's worth ......," Baili Yan said against his will.

Previously, it was expected that An Taihou would take the method of making ice with empty gloves, but now it seems that the false name of a "county king" is more valuable than a technique in Jiang Hai's eyes.

Nowadays, the highest title is the Son of Heaven of Liang State, and there is no title of emperor now, under the Son of Heaven is the king, under the king are the princes, and under the princes is the prince of the kingdom.

The title of the prince of the kingdom has now disappeared, and the lowest titles in the East Sea, West Sea, and North Sea are also the princes. Among the princes, there are nine ranks, from low to high, they are the Western Marquis, the Eastern Marquis, the Southern Marquis, the Northern Marquis, the Zuo Marquis, the Youhou Marquis, the Chenhou Marquis, the Qin Marquis, and the Princes. The kings are divided into six grades, from low to high, they are the vassal king, the Li king, the county king, the Ping king, the Central Plains king, and the Ding king.

The canonization of the king of the Liang State is more special, theoretically all the vassal states are still the feudal states of the Liang State, the coronation of the king and the cutting of the Liang State have the power of life and death, and the countries are often able to see each other and break the blood flow for a king's name.

Among the six kings, the vassal kings and the liwang were theoretically not recognized by the Liang State as self-reliant, let alone the titles of the princes.

And the Jin feudal prince means that the Liang State recognized the independence and administrative autonomy of the feudal king. Before this, all the Xian kings of the previous dynasties were left kings, and they were never promoted to county kings. Of course, only in theory, in practice they are all self-reliant princes

The significance of the king of the county is that he used troops to expand his territory abroad, and the Liang State no longer intervened by edicts, and obtained the legal right to start war. If it is a vassal king or a king, the Liang State can issue an edict to condemn it at any time, and the countries with ulterior motives will make a big fuss and take the opportunity to send troops to seek benefits, which is also the political maneuver of the Liang State to maintain its existing interests.

King Ping is above the king of the county, only a level of sealing, which has little practical significance, and the greatest political significance lies in the legitimacy of being promoted to the king of the Central Plains after seizing the hegemony.

If the king of the county seizes the hegemony of the Central Plains, it needs to be promoted to two levels, which violates the etiquette law and regulations, and the countries will not recognize it, and if they do not recognize it, there will be room for continued development and negotiation, which is not conducive to the hegemony of the hegemon, and it is also a political trick used by the Liang State to balance the countries.

Although in Bai Liyan's view, these false names are meaningless, in reality, political false names are often the direct trigger for war. At least for the time being, the ban also has some political role.

Since Zhiguo defeated Sun Guo, Zhiguo has won the title of King of the Central Plains for decades and has not wavered, after the defeat of Sun Guo, he was reduced to the king, and the national strength has been slumped since then.

The six kings are the most expensive, second only to the king of the Son of Heaven, since the collapse of the Liang Dynasty, there has not been a title of the king of Ding, the title of the king of Ding, the title of Ding both means Zen, even if there is a king of the Central Plains, Liang Tianzi has to be anxious about the tea and rice without thinking about three meals tasteless, not to mention a king of Ding.

King Xian got the title of the king of the county, in his eyes, he was already worthy of his ancestors, worthy of the people, and in the eyes of Bailiyan, he was just a worthless fart. The title of the king of the country is only the king of the domain, and he can also bully the head of the kingdom of the king who leaves the king, if it is really useful, wouldn't the number of the king of the black turban army be more effective.

Even if you think so in your heart, you must not reflect it on your face at this moment.

When I walked out of the imperial garden, it was already dusk, and the two women followed Bai Liyan slowly, and their graceful posture was very sultry.
