There are only two exits in and out of Wanchuan County, east and west, and in the years since it fell into the hands of Xianguo, Bailiyan has launched two geological expeditions, and there is no third way to go except for airborne. Wanchuan County covers an area of about 150,000 square kilometers, and the land is fertile and rich in minerals, so it is the best place to retreat.

Bailiyan also intended to build Wanchuan into a textile industry center in the future, so as to control the core trade sites of the Central Plains and lay the foundation for the westward expansion of the Central Plains in the future. The relocation of the capital now means that the industries of Yongxing, Lincheng, and Ruitian will all move westward, and the worst result will be abandoned, and the construction of a second industrial center and economic hub ahead of schedule has become a top priority.

At this time, the atmosphere was extremely dull, and Wei Qi knocked on the door outside the study:

"Master Hou, Mr. Jiang has arrived."

Bai Liyan retracted his attention and restrained his demeanor, signaled Zong Botai and Zhao Anling to chat first, and he went out of the house and asked Jiang Qi:

"What about the people in charge of Mr. Chiang?"

"At the side door of the West Wing."

Wei Qi immediately led Bailiyan to the side gate of the West Wing Courtyard.

This Jiang Hao is haunted, and he rarely walks through the front door when he enters and exits the minister's mansion, and always likes to go through the side door and the back door. When I was young, I was admitted to the hospital over the wall, but now that I am old, I can't climb the wall, and I still like to go off the rails.

When he saw Jiang Hao, his face was flat, and Bai Liyan didn't feel like he was in a hurry.

"It's so late, Manager Jiang is still out of the palace to work hard, but the king is urgently summoned tonight?"

"No, it's a Hongling urgent mail just sent from Liang Guo, and Liang Tianzi has died."

"Oh......"

Bai Liyan sighed lightly, but she was not surprised. After all, people in their sixties have been critically ill once before, and after a few months, it is time to go on the road early. However, as soon as Liang Tianzi died like this, the thorny question came, who would be sent to Liang to mourn.

He hurriedly asked Jiang Hao again:

"The king announced that I would go into the palace to discuss the matter of condolence?"

"Not really. It was already dark, and the king only asked the official to come and deliver the message, but did not summon the ministers into the palace, and the matter was left to be discussed tomorrow morning. The words have been brought, and the official has taken his leave. ”

"Okay, Master Jiang go slowly."

When he returned to the study, Zhao Anling asked for the news, Bai Liyan was not in a hurry to tell the two of them the news, and wanted to test Zong Botai:

"Mr. Zongbo might as well do the math and see if it can be fulfilled."

"Hehe, Master Hou doesn't want to test it, but he has doubts. Alright then, let me do the math. ”

I saw that Zong Botai was engrossed in his expression, his expression was slightly serious, and his right hand was constantly pinching the joints. If it was in the previous life, Baili Yanzhi would have thought that it must be a trick to pretend to be a god, but according to Zong Botai, pinching his fingers is actually not a mysterious technique, but a tool for calculation.

After the human index finger, middle finger, ring finger, and little finger are bent, each finger has a total of three joints, and three curved joints, the top finger end of the section is five by default, and the remaining two sections of the fingers and the three curved joints are each one by default, so that the eight fingers of a pair of hands are pictographic abacus, and the maximum value of tens of millions of units can be calculated.

The "Theory of Metaphysical Calculus" mastered by Zong Botai is a set of strict logical laws, which are supplemented by calculation methods through strictly forbidden conditions to calculate the probability of events, which can be regarded as behavioral judgments and war games, but it is still impossible to know what will happen.

Therefore, it is also necessary to use external conditional information and ongoing events as a reference to determine a specific time.

In addition, in a sense, prediction theories such as the Metaphysical Calculus need to evolve with the times. That is to say, the prediction theory has its validity in relative time and space, if it cannot develop with the times and promote the progress of the theory, it will inevitably lag behind the times, so there is modern fortune telling in most cases that the calculation is not accurate, and even the conclusion is too large and not accurate enough.

With the accumulation of experience of users, the accuracy of estimation and the predictable time span will increase significantly, which is why the old man is more deeply taught, because he has more experience, and subtly adds his own understanding to the existing logical system, making it more in line with the current era.

The decline of prediction in China is largely due to the disappearance of a large number of talents and the destruction of secretaries due to wars, diseases, and natural disasters.

In addition, the prediction theory is too mysterious, and it involves the rise and fall of the emperor and the fate of the individual.

After a while, Zong Botai's expression was much more relaxed, as if he had found the answer, he said:

"Dare to ask Hou Ye, between the priority of this matter, whether this matter is light or serious for Xianguo and Hou Ye."

"Heavy on Xianguo, light on Benhou."

"Oh......" sighed lightly, Zong Botai nodded slightly and asked, "Then is this matter related to people or things?" ”

"It is related to people, and it is related to profit."

"In this way, the matter should come from the West."

Bai Liyan raised her eyebrows and hurriedly said:

"Yes, sir, do you know what's going on?"

"The death of the Son of Heaven may be the largest, if it is not for the death of the Son of Heaven, it may be that something has happened in the Jin Kingdom."

"Oh, sir, there will be a change in the Jin Kingdom?"

Zong Botai nodded in affirmation:

"Well, maybe it's a natural disaster."

"Even if it is a natural disaster, the Jin Kingdom has generally been in good weather in the past six or seven years, and the grain harvest and storage should not cause a famine, does Mr. think that the Jin Kingdom will have internal troubles?"

"Natural disasters may not be droughts and floods, maybe they are others, and they will not cause internal troubles from this, but they will inevitably become an excuse for the Jin State to suspend the use of troops, and the situation is extremely beneficial to the Xian State and the Hou Ye. If Wei Guo excluded the Jin State, the Xian State would not have to send troops in the short term. ”

"This is also true, since I made it clear to Xihuan that I would not use troops, the Jin State has neither exerted pressure nor accelerated the deployment of troops, and it seems that I am preparing for both. Now that there are natural disasters in the country, maybe the Jin Kingdom will not send troops. ”

There is never a pie in the sky. At the beginning of the alliance between the Jin State and the Changsun State, the purpose was to unite the Sun State, and then oppress the Xian State, support the Song State, form an encirclement network against the Zhi State, and then seek strategic initiative, and at the same time use the trade advantage of the Changsun to control the North Sea to provide transportation convenience for the Jin State.

But no matter how good Uncle Kuo's calculations were, he didn't expect that the situation had changed dramatically in the past 30 years.

Now Xianguo has become the number one disaster, the momentum of defending the country is strong, the political situation of Zhiguo is unstable, and the Jin State now hopes that Zhiguo will fall the most, on the contrary, he hopes that the eldest grandson and Xianguo will attract the firepower of the defense of the country, so that the strong can fight, and the Jin State will use its geographical advantages to benefit from the fisherman.

Now that the Xian State does not send troops, and the eldest grandson does not fight, the Jin State will become the successor of the soldering iron of the defense of the country, which is not only difficult to make profits, but also may lose the fat that has been swallowed by the Qi State, and the Jin State will definitely not take risks.

Of course, the Jin State can completely threaten the Xian State to send troops by force, but the premise is that it must have this capital. forced Xianguo to join forces with Weiguo, Jin Guo is no longer Xianguo's opponent, and there is no benefit in turning his face.

Furthermore, half of the domestic economy of the Jin State depended on the digestion and export of the Xianguo market, and the Xianguo fell out, and the Xianguo did not need to use a single soldier to completely cut off trade, and within a few years, the Jin State would have to go back to 20 years ago. On the contrary, the Xian State could expand its trade with the Zhi State and give the Zhi King a new wave of blood, but in the end it was the Jin State that suffered.

Considering all the factors, the current Jin state has a request for the Xian state, which is much greater than the Xian country for the Jin state, and any political fluctuations will eventually cause damage in the Jin state. The only thing that the Jin State can do now is to bless King Xian to return to the west one day earlier, and Xihuan will completely take power, in order to plunder the economic capital and technological achievements of Bailiyan, and try every means to get rid of Yongxing City.

The next morning, the court was postponed, and a cabinet meeting was convened to discuss the mourning of the Son of Heaven. Surprisingly, Bai Liyan had tried every possible way to shirk before, and this time she offered to send an envoy to Liang Guo, which surprised the cabinet, including King Xian.

"Now in China, it is the time for Aiqing to show his skills, why does Aiqing go to Liang Country unusually?"

King Xian was puzzled, and Baili Yan said carefully:

"King Qiyu, the minister went to Liang to condolence, the focus is that the gold and silver ore delivered by Liang to our country will be delivered in the second half of the year, and it is necessary for the minister to go to the inspection in person to rest assured, this is one of them.

Second, the Liang State was the economic center of the world, and the minister also planned to further strengthen trade with the Central Plains countries and expand the trade channels of the Xian State. Third, the minister and his sister have not seen each other for many years, and now the sister is old, and it is inconvenient to come to Xian, so I have to visit the ministers. ”

"Oh......" King Xian sighed, clenched his fist and held his chin to think for a moment, his eyes looked left and right at the reaction of the prince and the others, no one objected for a long time, King Xian nodded and promised:

"Anyway, Aiqing has worked hard for the widow for many years, and the relationship between sister and brother is especially mother and son, if the widow is not allowed, it is too unkind, and the widow is allowed to play."

"Thank you, King Chengful."

Baili Yan gave a deep salute, and King Xian then said:

"Before leaving, Aiqing needs to explain in detail to all ministries and departments, and must not be chaotic."

"Please rest assured, before the minister leaves, he will explain the details."

"Well, with Aiqing's words, the widow will be relieved. In addition, it is a long way to go to Liangguo, how is Aiqing going to travel? ”

"The minister has not yet thought about this matter, and it is not too late to make arrangements after everything is properly arranged."

After discussing with Zong Botai and Zhao Anling last night, Bai Liyan considered rushing to Liang Guo in person, and the condolences would definitely not be to work him personally, gold ore is just an excuse, the real purpose is to rapidly expand the commercial market and earn more profits to feed back the domestic industrial development.

In the end, my sister Bailijuan is fifty-six this year, and he Bailiyan is also in his early forties, and at this age, there are only a few days left to live, and one more day is counted as a day.

Bailiyan is most sorry for four women in her life, one is her mother Guo, who did not have a blade Wang Yanfei to avenge her mother, the second is Ximen Yunfang, who was forced to hang herself, and the third is Wang Rui, who was robbed of the first woman in his life by King Jin, and the fourth woman is the eldest sister Bailijuan, who is the master of politics and failed to bring her anything, Bailiyan has nothing to repay for this, so she can only take this opportunity to visit her sister more.
