Chapter 354: Windfall (2)

Therefore, it is necessary to prepare with two hands, one is to make a fuss about the tragic reality of Xianguo being oppressed by the Jin State, play the sad card, and the second is to use Gongsun Yue's confession to blackmail the country.

It is an indisputable fact that the ultimate purpose and intention of the Black Turban Army's southward strategy is to attack the country, so the direction of its strategy in the Xu State is to attack westward.

The second is that the current political situation of the country is that after the crown prince ascended the throne, his three brothers had different dreams in the same bed, and they all had heavy troops in their hands, forming a de facto power constraint and supporting the army. Xianguo rebelled against Sun Yue, wouldn't Wei Guo be worried about the Black Turban Army, and also planted and bought important ministers everywhere within Wei Guo? Apparently not just a matter of concern, but quite possibly a fact.

If the Xianguo is finished, the Black Turban Army will be able to draw more troops from the eastern front, advance to the west, and recruit more soldiers.

Based on realistic political interests and long-term strategic demands, there is no reason not to help the country, of course, the country is not a good stubble, and its greed is no less than that of the tiger and leopard.

This time he sent an envoy to defend the country, he would inevitably be blackmailed by him, and Xianguo had to admit it. Therefore, it is only possible to deal with the largest number of pearls of average color and to trade with them with money, so that they can get quantity, but cannot enjoy quality.

Of course, once the news of the production of pearls in Xianguo spreads in the future, Wei Guo knows that Xianguo will divide pearls into three, six, nine and other grades, and sell the most inferior ones to Wei Guo, Wei Guo will definitely be unhappy, but he doesn't know that it is a matter of the Year of the Monkey and the month of the horse, and now he can only pass the current crisis.

The two overlords of Weiguo and Zhiguo have been considered comprehensively, and the last remaining potential overlord Jin Guo is obviously a problem that cannot be bypassed.

Not to mention that the Jin State now occupies the market of the Xian State, once the pearl matter spreads, the Jin State will inevitably reach out, which is a problem that has to be faced in the future. As far as the current situation is concerned, Xianguo, as a subordinate state of the Jin State, secretly colludes with the suzerain's head to collude with a sworn enemy, which is unreasonable.

Just because it can't be said, Bai Liyan doesn't plan to say it, so she just tears her face and forgets it.

First of all, Jin Guo didn't dare to do anything if he tore his face. First, the rebels killed at the gate of the Xian country, and the Jin country did not do anything, and the second Xian army suffered heavy casualties, and the big brother of the Jin country not only did not do much, but also took the opportunity to occupy the territory of the younger brother, which is called shameless.

Third, as far as the current situation is concerned, there is almost no political consequence of tearing the face, and it is impossible for the Jin army stationed in Xianguo to withdraw, and he will not withdraw. The Jin State has occupied the market of the Xian State, and he will not withdraw.

Not to mention that it was the Jin State that lost the market by withdrawing from the Xian State, and the Xian State could still recover a certain amount of tax rights, while the Jin State would lose a lot of resources invested in the past five or six years, and the franchise rights for sugar and silk would also be lost. Of course, he can still forcibly occupy it, so the capital of the Jin Kingdom cannot be withdrawn now.

The above two points ultimately determined that not only could the Jin State not only not be able to take the Xian State, but also had to work hard to maintain the existing consumption situation.

With the strength of the Black Turban rebels, the Jin army has never eaten pork, so haven't they seen pigs run? The Xian army can also be regarded as a general, wise and brave soldiers, and in this case, the Xian army has repeatedly suffered losses, but it is the Jin army, and the Jin army can withstand several waves of the Black Turban Army.

The Xian State is over, the Jin State is not only unable to occupy the Xian State in the short term, but also drags into a protracted confrontation and consumption, even if it can occupy the Xian State in the future, all it will get is a ruin and full of devastation, and the Jin State has to bear the huge economic burden of the Xian State, which cannot be digested in the short term, and in the long term, it will not be able to draw out more economic strength and invest in the Central Plains to compete for hegemony.

Therefore, the Jin State should not be sent by the Xian State as an envoy, but with a royal guest.

First of all, the Xianguo did not send envoys to the envoys, which not only maintained the critical point of tearing the skin and not tearing the skin, but also had room to turn around in the future, so as not to tear the skin at once, and the Jin State would put a tight spell on the Xianguo in the short term.

Secondly, the secret is made by the royal guest, who can promise the benefits of the royal guest, and then make it envoy to the Jin State, in the name of raising the grain and grass of the royal guest army, and exchange the treasures for the grain and grass and other materials of the Jin State. Every one of the nations is engaged in blackmail, but he cannot but give face to the royal guest. Therefore, the actual benefits that Yuke can obtain from trading in the end are far more than the total amount of materials obtained through normal channels in Xianguo

Due to the constraints of communication and information transmission, and at this time, the Jin Kingdom did not know where the treasures of the royal guests came from, and after the royal guests got the grain and grass materials, they were divided into two, one was transported to the Qianyue Mountain defense line Yuke camp, and the other was secretly transported to the Xian country.

After the Jin Kingdom learned that it was the pearl of the Xian Kingdom, it was too late for the King of Jin to regret it, and it couldn't be done. Could it be that they still want to occupy the pearl industry in the salty country? And don't look at whose hands the technology is.

"Lord Xun." King Xian said earnestly: "Where is the imperial guest envoy Wei Chiguang now." ”

"I left more than four days ago!"

"Gone! Then send someone to the widow to chase after him. ”

"The minister commands."

"Remember, this matter should be handled quickly, and the grain must be transported back within three months, otherwise the widow will remove you from your post and give the widow to farm!"

"Wechen will never live up to the king's expectations."

Riding a horse from Xianguo to attack Zhiguo, one way to say less than half a month, to Weiguo at the fastest time also takes more than a month, coupled with the preliminary preparations, from Zhiguo to the waterway, the grain and grass materials through the Wangqin River into Suidang County, three months is already extremely fast.

Secretly finalized the matter with Xun Mu, King Xian made an appointment to meet his sister Princess Lanyuan in Bailing Garden in the afternoon.

Seeing Jiang Hai's complexion and good spirits, Princess Lan Yuan, who had been terrible recently, couldn't help but wonder:

"Brother, today's complexion is so strong, it is because he has not won the battle."

"It's so easy." King Xian pursed his lips, reached out and took the watermelon handed by the palace maid and took a bite and said, "Sister, my brother-in-law's family is quite rich, why not let him share the worries of the widow." ”

Lan Yuan frowned, and became careful in his heart:

"Brother, just say whatever you want, do whatever you want to do."

"Hehe, Mo Ruomei, who knows me." After speaking, King Xian took out a brocade box and pushed it to Lan Yuan: "Sister, look at the treasures in this to like it." ”

"What?" Lan Yuan felt more and more that the situation was wrong, just now he obviously wanted to reach out and ask for money, but now he suddenly gave a gift, obviously not doing anything kind.

Thinking in his heart, Lan Yuan stretched out his hand to take the small brocade box, opened it and looked at it, his eyes were stunned, and there were gold, silver, white, yellow, pink, and black six colors of general size in the brocade box, which was the size of a penny, even if it was the Xuanting Marquis Mansion, there were only five yellow beads of nine points in size.

Seeing this, Lan Yuan gradually smiled, closed the brocade box and put it back on the table and asked:

"Brother Wang, what do you mean?"

"My sister likes it."

"Is it possible that Brother Wang will give it to my sister for nothing."

Lan Yuan said tentatively, and King Xian was unexpectedly generous at this time:

"If my sister likes it, she will take it, and she will be regarded as a widow who rewards Fu'er with marriage money in advance."

Lan Yuan was suspicious in his heart, these six pearls are all first-class and extremely high-grade pearls, how can they be worth eight or nine thousand, more than ten thousand inches of silver, how can the eldest brother be so generous?

"Brother Wang, state affairs are getting tighter, these pearl brothers should be used for state affairs."

"Eh, that's what the widow lacks?"

King Xian's face was stricken, but Lan Yuan was even more suspicious in his heart, the treasury was empty, could he still be short of money?

"Brother Wang, what happened to the end, if you fool my sister with six orbs, I won't do it."

"Is this the kind of person the widow is?"

"What does Brother Wang mean?"

King Xian took a deep breath, finished eating the watermelon and ordered someone to bring two larger brocade boxes, and retreated.

The smaller box contains 100 first-class pearls, and the larger box contains 500 pearls of the first grade.

Princess Lan Yuan's eyes fell on the two brocade boxes and swept them twice, completely unaware that they contained pearls.

"Brother Wang, what's in here?"

"The widow asked my sister first, how much were the six orbs worth just now?"

"Yellow beads have at least 1,200 inches of silver, gold beads, black beads, and silver beads, so it's hard to say. Six orbs worth 10,000. ”

"It seems that my sister is still knowledgeable. I don't hide it from my sister, the widow is now poor and jingle, and there are only these two boxes of pearls left, sister, you look at it and make a price, so how about letting your brother-in-law share the worries of the widow. ”

"Hah!" Lan Yuan was taken aback by the thunderous empowerment, as if he didn't hear clearly, and asked again: "These are these!" ”

"Why, there can still be fake."

King Xian opened the two brocade boxes with his hand, and the white pearls were shining, and Princess Lanyuan was stunned and couldn't close her mouth.

"Brother Wang, this ......"

"There are 500 in the big box, and 100 in the small box, how about my sister make a price?"

"This ...... I can't do that. ”

Lan Yuan turned his mind and played a trick, and King Xian said at this time:

"Since my sister can't be the master, the widow might as well give Xuanting Hou a thorough explanation, these five hundred beads and a box of widows are discounted by 200,000 inches of silver, and the small box of one hundred plants is discounted by 100,000 inches of silver, a total of 300,000 inches of silver, what does my sister think."

"Why did the Hou Mansion get this money, even if you sell your brother-in-law, it is not worth 300,000 inches of silver."

"Yes, Xuan Tinghou can't take out 300,000 inches of silver, the Qiao clan should always be able to get it."

If you want Xuan Tinghou to pay 300,000 copper coins, you may have it, but you must not have 300,000 inches of silver, even if you kill him, you can't take it out.

But behind Xuanting Hou Qiao Lian was the business network of the entire Qiao clan's sugar and silk industry, and they could get 300,000 inches of silver or the equivalent of gold. At this time, it is very clear that the benefits of nepotism and blood relations are the fixed and staunchest allies of the monarch at all times.

Moreover, King Xian also calculated in his heart, the great Sima Jiang Yan has been in office for decades, and there are still more than 100,000 gold and silver in the family, and Xuanting Hou Qiaolian is also a financial tyrant, so the family will not even be able to take out 100,000 cash.

"Sister, Xianguo is in danger, the widow now only has the Marquis of Xuanting to rely on, my sister will not let the widow down."

"What are these words, Brother Wang is in trouble, the country is in danger, how can my sister stand by and watch. However, why did Brother Wang come from so many treasures, and my sister couldn't see Brother Wang's embarrassment. Brother Wang said quickly, where did these treasures come from, they will not be left by the father. ”

"Sister, this is a joke, where can my father leave it to a widow."

"Where did that come from?"

Lan Yuan chased after him, and at this time, King Xian's face was even more embarrassed:

"Hehe, my sister doesn't seem to know much about her son-in-law."

"Ah, it's him!" Lan Yuan was shocked, he couldn't believe it, and then he hurriedly asked again: "Where can he have such a huge fortune!" ”

"The widow did not believe, but now he does. I really don't hide it from my sister, General Wei ...... "King Xian approached, Lan Yuan understood and put his ear closer, and King Xian said at this time: "General Wei has offered 19,000 of these jewels this time, and the widow is now unprecedentedly rich!" ”

"......" Lan Yuanru's heart shook wildly, and he was immediately startled, thinking that his eldest brother was drunk and hallucinating, so he hurriedly said: "Brother, how can such treasures be everywhere, Brother Wang is not confused." ”

"Eh, the widow is confused, and those people in the Imperial Division are confused! Even if the widow changes, he can't change it. ”

"So is this really?"

"True, true."

King Xian patted his chest and slapped the package ticket, Princess Lan Yuan's face suddenly sank, and she asked sharply:

"What about my son-in-law!"

"In Guangxin, I guard the country for the widow."

Of course, what King Xian said was an understatement, and when he heard the news, Lan Yuan was furious, and slammed his palm on the table and shouted:

"Brother Wang, you are confused, let my son-in-law go to keep Guangxin, how can you think of it!"

"But ......" King Xian found that there was no way to refute: "But how can the widow know that he has such a huge wealth, if he gives it early, how can the widow let him go." ”

"What then!"

"This ......"

King Xian thought in a blink of an eye that Guangxin was now surrounded by water, what if Wei Xian died in Guangxin. But after thinking about it again, Guangxin is impregnable, and it should not be lost. Thinking of this, King Xian comforted himself, and then comforted his sister Lan Yuan:

"The good sister of the widow, Guangxin is solid, and General Wei is a genius at that time, Guangxin will be foolproof."

"Foolproof, foolproof, why didn't you use someone earlier. If there is a case, let my baby daughter stay alive and widow for the rest of her life, she is now crying every day to see Wei Xian, something happened, my baby daughter is not alive! ”

"Isn't this a trick of Gongsun Yue......" King Xian was also pinched to the sore spot by Princess Lan Yuan, quite embarrassed.

"Hmph, what do you say, Brother Wang, what if Wei Xian has three long and two short."

"As long as my sister can exchange gold and silver for the widow, the widow will bring General Wei intact to my sister within three months, and this will be fine."

"Three months! You conscienceless, you can't buy so many treasures for even three months! ”

"It's not that the widow can't help it, the thieves have surrounded Guangxin, and the widow now has neither soldiers to adjust, nor food and grass to use. If you want Zhao Xun to say, now that the mountains and rivers are exhausted, you don't need General Wei at this time, when to use him.

Okay, when General Wei returns victorious, can't he reward him with a lot of people. ”

"What a reuse, you can explain clearly."

"The widow gave him a doctor, gave him a brocade coat and a belt, and drove in a royal car, as long as it was not a widow's throne, the widow would give him anything." King Xian has a big package, and it seems that the rich only have money left.

Princess Lan Yuan still didn't buy it, and continued to urge:

"No, in the future, Brother Wang is not allowed to give fox spirits to Wei Xian again."

"Vixen? Oh...... Isn't it just that the widow did it? ”

"Hmph, that's pretty much it."

Seeing that Lan Yuan's anger was gone, King Xian immediately struck while the iron was hot:

"Sister, what do you think of this orb."

"Well, then, just gold and silver?"

"You can use grain and grass or Liang Guo's money to offset it, but you must not forcibly levy the people's surplus grain, increase the burden on the people, the sooner the better."
