At the same time, Uncle Fang, Fang Dan, father and son had already returned to the mansion to get the news of Xihuan, and Uncle Fang rushed to the prince's mansion non-stop.

Ji Jinsheng poured out what Bai Liyan said in detail, and Uncle Fang thought about it carefully and felt that it was very profitable:

"This is a good thing, niece, hurry up and send someone back to tell your eldest brother, this matter can only be sooner, not later, and you will definitely suffer when it is over."

"According to what my uncle said, this matter is indeed profitable."

"Hey, of course it's profitable. The Manchu Dynasty is full of human spirits, and today it is surprisingly unanimous that it is still stupid to suffer losses. ”

"Then I asked my uncle, and my uncle could see which prince would do this short thing."

"Well, my niece suspects that this is the work of the nations?"

Fang Bo asked stupidly, and Ji Jinsheng answered:

"One or two are enough, now there are five or six out of ten pounds of gold and silver on the market, and there are tens of millions of gold and silver in the Central Plains, which is definitely not something that one person or a handful of people can do, there must be princes who do evil from it, intending to seek huge profits from the Xian country."

"If so, it's like ah, why didn't I think of it." Fang Bo's eyes rolled, pacing back and forth in small steps, thinking for a long time, asked Xihuan: "Niece, I remember that Zhiguo also got a sum of gold and silver from the south back then. ”

"Well, there's such a thing. What did my uncle think? ”

"Niece, you think, Zhiguo has a lot of gold and silver in his hands, and he must be used for a long time, so he can't pit himself. Let's talk about Xianguo, Xianguo is now clearly suffering a big loss, obviously it can't be a bitter meat trick, and our king is even more impossible. Therefore, the three countries east of the Central Plains, no, the four countries, and the Song kingdom are even more impossible, and the four countries will not be the initiators.

Then Yan, Zhao, Chen, and Qi were small and widowed, and they had no such national strength, and Xu was now half-disabled, and without the gold and silver mines of Ziyuan County, it could not use a large amount of gold and silver for large-scale goods transactions, not to mention that in just three or four years, five or six out of ten gold and silver in the Central Plains were short of two.

In this way, only the eldest grandson, the Liang State, the Wei State and the West Sea Barbarians remain. I think that the barbarians of the West Sea are sitting on mountains of gold and silver, separated by 108,000 miles, and there is no need to harm the Central Plains, and they can't do it. Then there are only three families: the eldest grandson, Liang Guo, and Wei Guo. Speaking of this, Uncle Fang looked at Ji Jinsheng and asked, "General Ji, is it possible for the eldest grandson to take revenge on Xianguo with a grudge?" ”

"He has this heart, but it doesn't seem to be the exact news from the eldest grandson, on the contrary, according to the recent news, the shortage of two catties in the country of the eldest grandson deteriorated faster, and the shortage of two catties in the country of Xian was caused by the introduction of the country of the eldest grandson, I think the country of the eldest grandson should not be the initiator."

"So it's a patriotic country!"

Uncle Fang affirmed, Xihuan, Ji Jinsheng, and Gu Chen were surprised, and Gu Chen hurriedly said:

"Yin Yangjun, Xianguo gave Weiguo three and a half counties for nothing, no matter how shameless Weiguo is, En will take revenge too quickly!"

"Hey, you old idiot."

Uncle Fang said, Gu Chen swallowed his saliva and rolled his eyes, but he had to pinch his nose and keep silent, then Uncle Fang continued:

"Then Weiguo is a wolf, you give wolf meat to eat, can the wolf let go of this meat on your body."

"Xianguo is not easy to mess with." Xihuan said, and then said: "Baili Yan is quite powerful in using troops, and Wei Guo is not afraid of Baili Yan raising troops to fight." ”

"My stupid niece, this Weiguo is a leopard in the countryside, relying on the dog beating stick in his hand, he entered the city, and when he saw the houses of big families and the beautiful women, he dared to masturbate, he didn't care if you were the second uncle or the old cousin.

Your uncle knows very well that he can't even sell his own people, and he can't do anything. Not to mention far away, let's just say that in recent years, the total price of goods exported from Xianguo to Weiguo has been calculated in tens of millions, and the total price of gold and silver flowing from Weiguo to Xianguo is not 2 million, but 17.8 million yuan.

If you don't do it, it's holding back your strength, waiting for the collapse of Xianguo, and then it's more convenient to do it. In my opinion, this patriotic country is about to eat people. ”

"But Weiguo has only been eastward for five or six years, accounting for more than ten counties, can it be relieved in five or six years?"

Xihuan questioned, and Ji Jinsheng answered:

"There is one thing Your Highness may not know, after the eastward advance of the country, it has to be attached to the rebels to help, and in many places to imitate the Xianguo, the rebels are organized into a large number of tuntian, and also imitate the cocoon chariot, and the production has increased significantly. In addition, the land of Weiguo is fertile, the climate is pleasant, suitable for raising some cattle and sheep, and a large number of salty ironware, farm tools and other commodities have been purchased, and they have been well managed in recent years.

If the Xianguo loses huge sums of money in the present, tomorrow, and the next three years, it is conservatively estimated that the annual loss of 300,000 or 400,000 gold and silver is considered to be small, and if the loss of copper coins is added, there will be seven or eight million, and three years will be enough to take the Xianguo half of the emptiness, and then send troops again, the Xianguo is afraid that it will be finished. ”

"Is it so serious? General Ji is not alarmist. ”

Xihuan was skeptical, and Ji Jinsheng said solemnly:

"It's not alarmist from subordinates, it's possible, and I'm afraid this battle is inevitable."

"Why is it inevitable to fight?"

Xihuan asked, and Uncle Fang answered:

"Once the Xianguo implements the shortage of enough and the price of goods rises, whoever retains enough gold and silver in his hand will benefit. And Wei Guo secretly hacked the gold and silver for one and two coins, and most of the gold and silver in his hands were short of two catties, so why not spend more money to buy commercial goods from the market.

The bad situation that has been imported into the Central Plains will be exported back to Weiguo through commercial goods, and the unlucky one will be Weiguo, and Weiguo will not be able to settle accounts with Xianguo. ”

"What Yin Yangjun said is good." Ji Jinsheng affirmed: "No matter what happens to Xianguo, the defense of the country will eventually send troops to attack. However, in the opinion of his subordinates, the Xian country has the Sishui River as a barrier, and the mainland is far away from the Sishui River, even if there is a unicorn now, it is very convenient to transport grain and grass, but the road is still too far away, and the battle line is too long to be conducive to a long war, so most of the defenders will not take the initiative to attack the Xian country, but lure out the main force of the Xian army to annihilate it.

From this point of view, Wei Guo should have other plans, and as for how to plan, it is not easy for his subordinates to guess. ”

"In that case, according to General Ji's words, what should I do in the Jin Kingdom?"

"The subordinates think that Bailiyan now has the help of the Ligong faction and the royal guests, and with the talent of Bailiyan's commander, if he wants to lose a big defeat, his subordinates really can't think of anyone who can be more powerful than him, not to mention that Xianguo is not stronger than it used to be, and the firearms are extremely powerful, and the frontal battle is not very sure of winning the country."

"Then since there is no chance of winning for the defense of the country, and Bailiyan is not sitting still now, why does the defense of the country dare to provoke."

"Didn't His Highness discover Liang Guo?"

"Liang Guo!" Xihuan frowned and was shocked: "General Ji is saying that there is also a share of Liang Guo." ”

"If there is no acquiescence of Liang Guo, Liang Guo is the closest to Wei Guo, why Liang Guo has not had any news so far."

"Yes, Jin Sheng has a point." Fang Bo affirmed, and then said: "This Liang State originally had a favorable geographical advantage, occupying the sea and land points from the North Sea to the West Sea, and the land route, which was originally the largest commercial market in the Central Plains, after the rebels invaded the Liang State, they began to go downhill all the way. If you want to say that there is no acquiescence from Liang Guo, I don't believe it. ”

"So how does that happen?" Xihuan asked Ji Jinsheng.

"It's hard to say. And even if we know about it, we must not talk about it, and Your Highness must be cautious. Although the Liang State is small, it is nominally a suzerainty after all, and after the Black Turban Rebellion, it has gained a county, and its prestige is higher than it has been in the past two hundred years.

At present, Sun State has been reduced to a vassal of Liang State, and it is only a matter of time before it is annexed by Liang State, Sun State is destroyed, Liang State will have five counties, and Yan State will definitely become the next prince annexed by Liang State. At that time, Liang Guo asked for the defense of the country, and he must agree to the conditions of the defense of the country. ”

"I really didn't expect that Liang Guo would have such a city. But if Weiguo becomes bigger, what is the benefit to Liang. Isn't the Son of Heaven afraid of being destroyed by the Patriotic Nation? ”

"Your Highness, of course, Liang Guo is also afraid that Wei Guo will become bigger, so Liang Guo will not explicitly conspire with him, but will only acquiesce. Taking a step back, the Central Plains Kingdoms, Jin, and Xian are the most ferocious in battle, and the three kingdoms of defending the country eastward are cold in their lips and teeth, and there will be a death battle with the defense of the country. At that time, the defense of the country and the three kingdoms contended, most of them were defeated, and the Liang State took advantage of the situation to mediate the war, who could not give face to the Son of Heaven. ”

"Is that Weiguo a fool, can't he see such a flaw?"

"Your Royal Highness the Princess, that's why the subordinates said that the result of Liang Guo's participation in the cooperation will be unpredictable. Wei Guo has endured the West Sea for many years, if it weren't for his old scheming, he would have been caught between Sun and Xu and lost the country. He couldn't see the sinister intentions of the Liang State to provoke the princes to fight viciously and make a profit, so he would attack the Xian State first with a short and short strategy, and only in this way would the Liang State be profitable, so he would acquiesce to it.

If the treasury is depleted and internal troubles arise one after another, resulting in the arrears of military salaries and the people's hearts will fluctuate, the Xian army will die without a fight, which is also a drawback of the military salary system. At that time, the Xian army will be finished, the eldest grandson's combat strength will be weak, and he will be defeated by the defense of the country, and the eastward advance of the defense will be difficult to stop.

Our Jin Kingdom does not have the Xian State as a barrier, and in a few decades, the patriotic soldiers will be directed at our country. ”

"What about Zhiguo, why didn't General Ji say Zhiguo?" Xihuan asked.

"The discord between the Gongliang clan and the king of Zhi is becoming more and more obvious, if the Gongliang clan rebels, if the king of Zhi sends troops, the defense of the country will wait for the internal friction of the Zhiguo, and the vitality of the Zhiguo will be greatly injured, and then the Zhiguo will be attacked. If the Gongliang clan does not rebel, Weiguo will win over the Gongliang clan and anger Zhiguo, and Zhiguo will be very passive.

Therefore, the current situation is treacherous, and the subordinates are worried that the war will fall in the next two years, no matter what, the Xianguo cannot be finished, the Xianguo is finished, and the Changsun Kingdom is by no means an opponent of the defense of the country. ”

"It just doesn't make sense!" Xihuan scolded, and his anger jumped on his face: "Although the battle on the battlefield is still glorious, it is really shameful to use such dirty methods to plague the Central Plains and defend the country!" ”

"Oh, my niece, no one in this business is a fuel-efficient lamp. Or hurry up and write to your eldest brother, let him hurry up, and then continue to drag, the wealth is small, and after a few decades, I will be paid for by others, I am ashamed to be a grandfather to my children and grandchildren, and I will not be blind to death. ”

"Okay, I'll send a letter to Brother Wang immediately, General Ji and uncle, you two go to Ma Zhongning, explain the stakes to him, and be sure to move Brother Wang to deal with it as soon as possible."

"No!"

Xihuan now thinks more about neither the Jin Kingdom nor the Xian Kingdom, but how to sit firmly on the queen and let his son sit on the throne smoothly and dominate the world, of course, I don't want to see the sinister situation of me being a fish and a man.
