In the noble circle of the capital, the shareholders of Xinwangfu, who was a joke last year, are no longer a joke.

Last year, the refugees who were brought in by the nobles' mansions have also been taken over by the Xinwang Mansion. Based on this, the nobles of the capital must also accept the king's favor.

What's more, the well-informed Xungui has heard that the woolen mill is now very prosperous, and the scale has been slowly expanding.

The wool products produced by Xinwang Woolen Mill have always been in short supply in the market.

Woolen products are an emerging market that Daming has never had. This market is becoming more and more prosperous under the development of the Shin Wangfu.

At that time, King Shin promised each family, and the seemingly ridiculous 1 share of the woolen mill has now really become valuable. And the value is rising.

In terms of business, the nobles of the Ming Dynasty still have a very sensitive sense of smell. The wool market developed by Zhu Youzhen has aroused their great interest.

Just rush to this, and no one among the nobles wants to go against King Xin?

Who will have trouble with money.

I didn't see it, even the Pingjiang family no longer opposed King Xin. Instead, he consciously drew a clear line with Wu Qinghou.

This time, King Xin's impeachment of Qin Ming, the garrison of Tianjin, can be regarded as a famous division. It's not a deliberate provocation.

In this way, this matter can be regarded as an internal dispute between their nobles, and it doesn't matter who wins or loses other nobles.

Anyway, when new nobles rise, there will always be old nobles who decline.

Since King Xin can bring benefits to everyone, there is no one in the capital who is on the side of Wu Qinghou.

As a veteran nobleman for decades, he can't even stand up to the king of faith who has just established a mansion, can Wu Qinghou not be depressed?

In fact, what made Wu Qinghou Li Guorui feel aggrieved the most was that he had no way to take the letter to the king.

Since Wanli passed away and Tianqi ascended the throne, Wuqing Houfu has obviously gone downhill.

Nominally, Wu Qinghou still has the title of an imperial relative, but everyone knows that the blood relationship between Wu Qinghou and the royal family is very weak.

Wan Li Ye is the grandson of Lao Wu Qinghou, and the current Apocalypse Ye has nothing to do with him Li Guorui, so he barely has a very faint bloodline!

Wu Qinghou Li Guorui may still have some confidence in the Wenchen of the Ming Dynasty, but he can be the No. 1 favorite minister of Shangxin Wang, no, he is a favorite brother. Wu Qinghou didn't have anything to do.

Now that even Xungui is not on his side, what else can he do?

The crackling handle completely smashed the things at hand, and Li Guorui still felt extremely humiliated.

What made Li Guorui feel even more humiliated was that he still had to bow to King Xin and the little hairy boy who didn't even grow his hair.

Thinking of this, Li Guorui understood Ping Jiangbo's choice, it turned out that the old fox had already seen this day.

Ping Jiangbo admitted defeat early, although he lost some face at that time, but compared with his Wuqing Houfu, Ping Jiangbo's face has not really fallen to the ground.

He spat the ground. Li Guorui finally understood where he was different from those real veteran nobles!

These old foxes!

scolded hatefully, and the depression in Wu Qinghou Li Guorui's heart became even stronger.

When the old shopkeeper Zheng Ming negotiated a deal with Battelle of the Zalut Department, the entire caravan was completely relieved.

With a big tribe like Zarut as a guarantor, the Duoyan tribe would not offend the Longmen caravan lightly.

Sure enough, the envoy of the Zalut tribe brought back a reply from the Duoyan tribe: as long as the caravan left half of the supplies as the cost of buying the road, the Duoyan tribe would no longer attack the caravan.

Although Zhang Yunyi and the others were reluctant to take out the supplies, for safety reasons, the old shopkeeper Zheng Ming still forcibly agreed.

The caravan killed and wounded so many people in the Duoyan Division, and only half of the supplies were left, which was already very cheap, okay.

What's more, the war horse that Duoyan didn't mention was a bigger wealth. Its value is far more than half of the caravan's supplies.

Why didn't the Duoyan Department mention these war horses collected by the caravan?

Is it because this is a trophy, is Duoyanbu embarrassed to mention it?

Regarding this question, the old shopkeeper Zheng Ming was still a little uneasy in his heart.

Regardless of whether the old shopkeeper Zheng Ming was at peace or uneasy, after the Duoyan Department received the supplies, he really had no intention of attacking the Longmen caravan again.

But since the Dragon Gate caravan set foot on its return journey, the real horse thieves have arrived.

Horse thieves always appear out of nowhere while the Dragon Gate caravan is on the march. With the speed of their fast horses, they launched a surprise attack on the caravan men.

Horse thieves don't chase much of a success, they often just shoot a few arrows, and they go away regardless of whether they hit or not.

In the face of this kind of horse thief, the veterans had to protect both the collected horses and the caravan, and their guards became obviously full of flaws.

The horse thieves who attacked the caravan also seemed to know the strength of the Dragon Gate caravan's defense. They never stormed the camp set up by the caravan, but only made all kinds of harassing actions around the camp.

Whenever the Longmen caravan camped, all kinds of harassment of the horse thieves really unfolded.

Horse thieves will attack the caravan's wagons and everything inside the camp with rockets.

And the people who went out of the caravan became extremely dangerous.

Horse thieves will do anything to attack people who are out and about, no matter what you do.

The caravan did not expect such an attack, and everyone was a little ill-prepared. Within a few days, the casualty rate of the Longmen caravan had skyrocketed.

You know, even after the two battles with Zarut and Duoyanbu, the Dragon Gate Caravan only suffered single-digit casualties.

When such a small casualty count came out, the entire caravan became a little proud. But only a few days later, this pride was immediately slapped in the face by the horse thief.

When faced with harassment by horse thieves, the caravan suffered more than a dozen casualties in a few days.

The pride that had just been bred receded, and the hearts of the caravan became a little panicked.

The ubiquitous harassment of horse thieves greatly demoralized the caravan.

Even the most disciplined junior team had a slight commotion.

In the face of this seemingly ubiquitous harassment, Zheng Ping finally understood the difficulties of conquering the grassland.

The most difficult thing to deal with on the steppe turned out to be not a frontal battle, but this endless harassment.

You can imagine how you would feel when you were on your way and your teammates were suddenly shot by a bow and arrow.

When you're camping, you're out fetching water, and you're always ready to get an arrow.

You just fell asleep when you were awakened by a rocket, will you be able to sleep peacefully again?

When you think that everywhere is unsafe and that you can be in danger anywhere, can you still hold on?

One day, can you hold on, two days, three days?

Under this kind of survival pressure where there are dangers everywhere and I don't know how long I can live, how can my morale not fall!

If there is no solution, even the most disciplined team will not be able to hold on for a long time.

You have to find a solution!

Seeing the increasingly depressing atmosphere in the caravan, Zheng Ping felt the urgency of form.
