After the Marquis of Ding Yang left, the county guard sighed and said:

"General Wei is so disrespectful, if it were someone else, even a hundred heads were cut off by Taiwei Zhang."

Bai Liyan (i.e. Wei Xian) disagreed, saying:

"At the time of Duyang City, how could the Marquis of Ding Yang not want to kill me, if it weren't for Zhao Shuai's protection, Xianguo probably wouldn't have this half of the country today."

At that time, Baili Yan tried to persuade Ding Yang Hou not to storm Duyang City, but Ding Yang Hou did not listen, and used Zhao Xun to use people inappropriately, and Qi people as strategists leaked military aircraft, and wanted to kill Bai Li Yan's head. was blocked by Zhao Xun, and later changed to eighty military sticks, intending to beat Bailiyan to death, and then was blocked by Zhao Xun.

Ding Yang Hou was furious and did not dare to refute Zhao Xun's face, so he filled Baili Yan into the siege camp under Yao Sheng, and pulled him to attack the city.

From the beginning of the battle of Jiangdong to the beginning of the Marquis of Dingyang, a series of strategic mistakes were made, which led to the possibility of subduing Jiangdong Dongjun in the end, and he had to cede the land and sue for peace.

If it weren't for this, Xianguo would not have been forced under the nose by the rebels with knives now. All kinds of cause and effect relationships were laid as early as when Marquis Ding Yang lost the battle of Jiangdong.

Baili Yan was angry, and after talking to Wei Xu for a while, he checked the powerful and wealthy families who came to the county government to register their fingerprints today, and the total number was only more than 700 people, less than one-sixth of the registered people.

"Lord Wei, in terms of the official position, Lord Wei is far above my Wei, and at the same time he is Wei's predecessor, Wei is really not good to say anything, but this day today, there are less than 800 people who have gone to the county government to rub the seal, it is too much to say, and the remaining thousands of people will be in the Year of the Monkey."

"This ...... It's not that the official didn't do his best, but there was something unspeakable. ”

"Unspeakable? What is difficult to say, didn't the king make a royal decree and ask all the incumbent officials and their children and protégés to come to the county government immediately, why didn't they come. ”

Wei Xu was embarrassed and said:

"Those who didn't come and those who didn't come, as well as those who wanted to come but didn't come, are either the same party of Da Sima, or the relationship between the masses of the party, with Sima of the city government in charge, no one dares to come."

"What!" Bai Liyan was taken aback: "So many people! ”

"It's not all, some are from Xiangguo, and some people don't come when they see other people, so they don't come, and those who come are close to the king."

At this time, Bai Liyan suddenly realized that the real problem of concern finally appeared, and the Queen Mother and her party began to be anxious and suspicious because of the suspicion of the Xuanting Marquis Mansion, and Jiang Yan's death was the beginning of a series of purge campaigns by King Xian. Sima Chengfu Luan Chong's non-cooperation directly led to the aggravation of the contradiction.

Thinking of this, Bai Liyan hurriedly said:

"He's going to force the palace!"

"You can't talk nonsense."

Wei Xu is somewhat reluctant to think about this, after all, this is a big rebellion, if it spreads, Luan Chong has no objection, and it is possible that because of Bai Liyan's words, he will be forced to rebel.

At that time, killing King Xian and supporting the crown prince will still be able to get the support of the Jin State, and it is not without benefit to Luan Chong to take risks.

Just when the atmosphere was delicate, the outside of the hall came to report:

"Report to the two lords, there are royal guests outside the county government who ask to see General Wei, this is a famous post."

Bai Liyan was puzzled in her heart, how could this royal guest not be embarrassed or embarrassed every time to stir up the situation, when was this, and she still had time to ask to see herself.

"Give me the name post."

"No."

After receiving the name card handed by the messenger, he was stunned at first sight, and he almost didn't fall. The name card reads: Yu Ke Raise Envoy Captain Chi Guang

The so-called raising envoy is actually a monk's fate.

In addition to being able to replenish the spoils of war, other material supplies need to rely on the help of various factions in the world, but even so, in the face of the move, it is a huge scale of 200,300,000 or even 450,000 royal guests, and it is difficult to cope with the support of the sect alone.

Of course, since the royal guest is rarely engaged in commercial activities, and the financial resources of the imperial guest headquarters are also limited, it is necessary to send a fund-raising envoy to "turn the fate" to ask for some military expenses and grain and grass every time there is a war.

What's even more evil is that Xianguo is now almost poor as pants, and he actually has to come to the door to turn his fate, not only to come to the door to turn his fate, but also to name and say that he wants to see Bailiyan, isn't this the right time to go to King Xian, what is the use of looking for him.

Just when he was wondering, Wei Xu asked:

"General Wei has a lot to do with the royal guest."

"But it's not about money! It's useless to look for a general. ”

"But the royal guest named to see General Wei, and he still has to see him."

"If you see it, then okay, Wei will go and meet this Wei Chiguang."

Coming to the front hall of the mansion with the name post, Wei Chiguang was talking to Tang Zhao and Fang De, and the other royal guests around him were also talking to each other in groups, and the atmosphere was very normal, and he didn't feel the tense atmosphere of the enemy in Chenling.

Bai Liyan stepped in, and saw Tang Zhao and Fang De at a glance, and she was even more surprised in her heart:

"Brother Tang Zhao, Brother Fang De, why are you."

"General Wei, don't come unharmed."

Tang Zhao stood up, hugged his fists and gave a slight salute, Bai Liyan raised his hand and saluted back:

"I'm ashamed to say that the situation has become like this, and Wei is also incompetent."

"General Wei said this." Fang Dedao: "On the way here, I heard that General Wei has won many battles, which has frustrated the spirit of the Divine Power Heavenly King, and now General Wei's prestige has spread far and wide in the Central Plains, why is he so self-deprecating, it will inevitably break his own prestige." ”

Bailiyan smiled bitterly and said:

"The Xian army has been fighting hard for more than a year, and nearly half of the country has been lost, so what prestige can be said of, it is just some empty words. I don't know who is the envoy present, Wei has missed the distance, and he hopes to forgive his sins. ”

At this time, a slightly chubby and slightly short man on the right seat, with a Chinese character face, thick eyebrows, small eyes, thin lips and high nose, a bearded middle-aged man, wearing a blue coarse cloth wide and deep coat, got up and came to him, Sven gave a salute and said:

"Here is the envoy, General Wei's prestige has long been heard of below, and when I saw General Wei today, my look is really extraordinary."

Bai Liyan replied:

"Fortunately, I don't know what is the reason for the envoy to come here, why I want to find Wei."

"Oh, that's the case, recently received a letter from the imperial marshal, Jin Xuedi is showing signs of a large-scale invasion of the north, and the imperial guest hall decided to raise 150,000 soldiers to go south, so he sent a lieutenant to Xianguo and Jin to ask for food."

Bai Liyan thought to herself, this person is really here to turn into a fate. The next moment, he quietly came to the side of the seat, and said directly from the cross-legged seat:

"But Wei doesn't understand, this matter should be found by the king, why look for Wei alone, Wei is just a small pioneer, and it is useless to find Wei for the heavy matter of grain and grass. Besides, the millions of people in Beihai County of Xianguo have not even found this year's winter grain, and it is too unkind for Yuke to ask for food for this matter. ”

"General Wei's words are wrong, it is true that Xianguo is short of food, but there are two things that should not be lacking."

"What?"

"Cane sugar and silk."

"Cane sugar and silk? What do you want sugar and silk for? ”

"It's not that my royal guests need, it's that the country needs cane sugar and silk, so I am willing to help my royal guests with grain and grass, and I have to come to Xianguo to help with cane sugar and silk."

Bai Liyan was stunned by this matter, Xianguo is indeed a big producer of sugar and silk, in addition to the eldest grandson. In fact, Qi Kingdom, Yan Kingdom, Liang Kingdom, and Jin Kingdom can grow sugarcane and raise silkworms in the hot climate of the northern land, but the cane sugar in these three countries is salty and somewhat bitter, so it is not very popular, but it is suitable for medicine, and it is a nourishing magic weapon for the poor.

As for silk and other low-grade silk fabrics, the silk fabrics of Xianguo are the first-class fabrics of the Central Plains, and the price ranks first and second among silk-producing countries. Although the output of silk and Luo in Changsun is larger than that of Xianguo, the quality is extremely poor, and various countries call it water silk.

The silk of Qiguo and Yan is soft, but it is not worn. The silk texture of Liang is thick, and the quality of Xianguo silk is equally famous, the output is average, due to the use of materials, the weaving skills are exquisite, the price is higher than that of Xianguo, of course, the quality is slightly better.

As for the Jin Kingdom, the production of silk and satin is less, mainly silk cloth and Luo, and the texture of Luo is only slightly better than that of Changsun Kingdom, so it does not have a strong competitiveness, which leads to the important position of the silk fabrics of the Xian State in the Central Plains, and it is also an important reliance on the early years of the Xian Kingdom.

It was the sugar, salt, silk, and fertile land that ensured the national strength of the salty country.

But the problem is that the largest sugar squeezer in Xianguo is Xuanting in Dongyuan County, Xuantinghou's hometown, this is his industry, Xuantinghou almost started by monopolizing almost all the sugar and silk in Dongyuan County, otherwise the Xianwang who specializes in salt can marry this sugar king?

In addition, Xianguo's number one silk fabric production area, Guangxin and Dingyang are big households, followed by Jiangdong County, Guangxin Gong needless to say, and just offended Dingyang Hou, at this time he wants to bleed, where is possible.

Now he wants to let the unwieldy Xuan Tinghou give him free sugar, isn't this forcing him to jump off the building. Looking for Bailiyan, it is clear that he wants his son-in-law to force his two fathers-in-law, this big Sima Jiang Yan's matter is not over yet, and he wants to force his father-in-law to cut his flesh, where can this kind of thing come out.

"Mr. Wei Chi, if you want sugar and silk from Xianguo? Can't the eldest grandson country, the Qi country, and the Yan country? ”

"Changsun Guo didn't want to help, so he could only come to General Wei for help."

Bai Liyan heard the fire and said unceremoniously:

"I don't want to help! Then my Xianguo is easy to bully, what kind of truth is this. The countries of the Central Plains, half of the Xianguo were lost, the other princes did not save them when they saw death, and the Changsun Kingdom only lost two counties, and even the grain was not helped. ”

It's not always smooth, especially this year.

In the East China Sea and the Central Plains, except for the Jin State and the Liang State, almost all major countries were directly involved in the Black Turban Rebellion. There was no time to take care of the invasion of Jin Xuedi in the south, so the main focus of Yuke Huayuan was on the five countries of the West Sea, of which Wei Guo was the majority.

Due to the fact that there have been fewer wars in Weiguo in recent years, and the surrounding countries are all small countries, far away from the hinterland of the Central Plains, but the population is large, the market is large, and the financial resources are okay, so many luxury goods in the Central Plains have flowed to Weiguo.
