What to do?

Cold!

Yang Qi didn't have a clue at all now, but he couldn't tell She Saihua the truth.

Reporting good news to his parents and not bad news, this is what a son should do.

"Mother, don't worry, the child has a countermeasure in his heart, and he will never be coerced by Xiao Zhuo again in the future."

She Saihua let out a sigh of relief, and a happy smile appeared on her face, "Then you can rest assured that you are a mother." ”

Yang Qi instructed Cao Lin: "Lin'er, you go and prepare a table of good wine and food, and then let someone help your mother arrange a place to live." ”

She Saihua stopped with a smile, "Don't be so troublesome, my mother won't stay here for too long, rest for one night today, and leave tomorrow." ”

Yang Qi was stunned and said, "Why don't you stay for two more days?" ”

She Saihua sighed lightly: "Your father is old and stubborn, he is alone in Fuxing Mansion, and he is not at ease for his mother." Only Wei Niang in the house can barely persuade him. If he took advantage of his mother's absence and sneaked to Liaoguo to find Shiro to work hard, it would be terrible. ”

For a moment, Yang Qi couldn't laugh or cry.

He didn't expect that Lao Yang, who was cold in the past, would still have such a skinny side.

Yang Qi smiled and said, "Mother, you can stay in the house for two more days." The day after tomorrow is the Buddha's birthday, and the temples in the city are very lively. You are an old believer in Buddhism, so you should take this opportunity to check it out. ”

"Buddha's birthday?"

She Saihua was obviously stunned, clapped her hands, and said with a wry smile: "As soon as my mother was in a hurry, she forgot about it." If you hadn't reminded me, I would have missed the Buddha's birthday. Mother listens to you, stay in the house for a few more days. ”

"That's good!"

Cao Lin arranged a table of sumptuous meals, and Yang Qi accompanied She Saihua to eat some.

Then settled She Saihua and lived in the house.

In the next three days, Yang Qi and Cao Lin accompanied She Saihua to take a good turn in Datong Mansion.

Three days later, after the Buddha's birthday, Yang Qi sent She Saihua away, and as soon as he returned to the house, he saw Peng Pai hurriedly entering the study.

"Young master, it's not good!"

As soon as Peng Pai entered the study, he shouted anxiously.

Yang Qi frowned and said, "What's going on again?" It can't be that Xiao Zhuo's slut who asked people to send me a letter and let me help her fight Da Song, right? ”

Peng Pai shook his head, "This matter has nothing to do with the Great Song Dynasty. It was a message from someone from Dengzhou. The Liao State has sealed the sea, and it is not allowed to enter but not to leave. ”

"Seal the sea? Are you allowed to enter or not to go out? ”

Yang Qi was obviously stunned.

Peng Pai explained: "The Liao State blocked the coast adjacent to the Liao State, and only ships loaded with goods were allowed to enter the Liao State, but ships loaded with goods were not allowed to leave the Liao State. If the merchants wanted to get out of the Liao Kingdom, they had to go out empty.

Now those merchants who do business with the Liao people in Dengzhou can't hold on. Many of them have already left Dengzhou and began to carry goods to Liao to do business.

Wang Mingcheng was very anxious, he sent someone to send a letter quickly, please have an idea, young master. ”

"Haha...... Hahaha......"

Yang Qi suddenly burst out laughing.

This made Peng Pai a little confused.

"Young master, if the Liao State does this, our plan to monopolize the commerce of the Liao State has been destroyed by the Liao State. You still have the heart to laugh. ”

Yang Qi said excitedly: "I not only want to laugh, but also laugh out loud." I was worried that I didn't have a chance to get justice from Xiao Zhuo, but I didn't expect it to be delivered to the door so soon. It's just wonderful. ”

Peng Pai was stunned and said, "Is this a good thing? ”

Yang Qi said firmly: "It's not only a good thing, it's also a great thing." ”

Peng Pai shook his head suspiciously, indicating that he didn't understand.

Yang Qi explained: "Tell me, what is rich in Liao? ”

Peng Pai hesitated for a moment, and said tentatively: "Cattle and sheep fur? ”

"What else?"

"The rest seems to be gone! Similar to salt and iron, what Liao produces is far from enough for its own use. So it won't be taken out for trading. ”

"So what?"

"So what?"

Yang Qi glared at Peng Pai fiercely, and scolded in a low voice: "Use your pig brain, you are allowed to enter but not out, which means that we can import goods to Liao Country infinitely and earn a large amount of gold and silver from Liao State." And the furs that are abundant in the Liao State cannot be transported out of the Liao State under their strict orders.

In other words, we can make a lot of money from Liao, but Liaoguo can't make money back from us. ”

Peng Pai's eyes lit up, but soon dimmed again, "Young master, but Wang Mingcheng also said that the Liao State has set up many checkpoints along the coast, and many heavy taxes have to be collected.

The merchants under our command have passed, and the money they have earned is afraid that they will be treated as a heavy tax by the Liao State again. ”

Yang Qi was not only not angry, but even happier, "And this good thing?" ”

"Huh?!"

Peng Pai looked stunned and looked at Yang Qi in confusion.

Yang Qi didn't bother to take care of him, and said to himself with a smile, "Liaoguo is disgusted that the price is not expensive enough!" Hey, hey, hey......"

As the saying goes, there are policies and countermeasures.

The purpose of the Liao State to collect heavy taxes was to collect money from merchants.

But what about merchants?

Just sit back and wait to die?

Merchants are the most cunning of people.

The Liao State set up a pass and collected heavy taxes, and it seems that the Liao court obtained enough wealth from the merchants, but in fact?

The fact that the merchants were helpless against the Liao court did not mean that they were helpless against the people of the Liao State.

In order to make enough profits, the merchants would sell the goods they brought to the Liao State for more expensive prices.

In order to meet the huge profits he obtained, as well as the heavy taxes required by the Liao court.

In the end, the Liao court only used merchants to gather wool on the common people.

That is to say, under this policy, although the treasury of Liao is rich, the people of Liao will become very poor and poor.

The people of Liao have been squeezed by Yang Qi for a year, and they are already very poor.

What will the people of Liao do when they are squeezed and have nothing?

Yang Qi can say with certainty that the people of Liao at that time must not be too friendly.

Yang Qi smiled proudly and instructed Peng Pai: "You go and send someone to tell Wang Mingcheng and ask him to organize the merchants and start delivering goods to the Liao State." Let him remember two points, not to make a loss-making transaction. The higher the tax in Liao, the higher the price of the things we send over.

At the same time, he was reminded that he must transport those things that are shelf-stable and long-lasting. ”

Peng Pai nodded and said in a deep voice: "Young Master, your orders, the merchants of the Southern Kingdom will listen to it, and the merchants who are attached to the Qian Bank of the Southern Kingdom will also listen to it." However, there are still many merchants who are not attached to the Southern Money Bank, and they may not listen to you for the sake of profit. ”

Yang Qiwan smiled, "You don't have to worry about this matter, I have my own countermeasures." ”

Peng Pai left Yang Qi's study in confusion.

He wanted to know what method Yang Qi used to make those merchants obedient.

But Yang Qi was reluctant to say it, and he couldn't force it.

Peng Pai left.

Yang Qi pondered for a long time, picked up his pen, wrote a long letter, sealed it, and found Cao Lin with the letter.

Cao Lin seems to be very busy, it is about to be spring, and many greenhouses outside Datong Mansion are going to be removed, and she needs to arrange this matter.

"Lin'er?"

Yang Qi snorted lightly.

Cao Lin ignored him.

Yang Qi helplessly came to Cao Lin's side.

Cao Lin found out that Yang Qi had arrived, "Why did Lang Jun suddenly come to the concubine?" ”

Yang Qi smiled and said, "Let your subordinates send a letter to me." ”

Cao Lin said suspiciously: "Why is the letter so important, and you want to come and order the concubine in person?" ”

Yang Qi shook his head, "It's best if you don't know about this matter." ”

Yang Qi handed the letter to Cao Lin, Cao Lin nodded, and tapped the table with his hand, and a woman in red appeared in front of the two.

Yang Qi instructed: "Send the letter to Dengzhou and hand it over to a person named Luoye." ”

The woman in red nodded, took the letter, and exited the room.

Cao Lin looked at Yang Qi curiously, his eyes were crooked like the moon, and he asked with a smile, "Lang Jun has thought of a way to deal with Empress Dowager Xiao?" ”

Yang Qi pinched Cao Lin's face and said with a smile: "I can't hide anything from you." However, this solution is not something I came up with. ”

"What's that?"

"Hahaha......"

Yang Qilang laughed loudly, "It was sent by Xiao Zhuo." ”

Cao Lin frowned, looking puzzled.

Yang Qi didn't explain much, "You'll know sooner or later, you don't have to be in a hurry, it won't work if you say it." ”

Yang Qi was coerced by Xiao Ju and gave up his plan to send troops to Liao.

In turn, Yang Qi took advantage of the weakness in Xiao Zhuo's policies and dug a huge hole for Xiao Zhuo.

Xiao Zhuo didn't know anything about it.

……

Inside the capital city.

Empress Dowager Xiao is discussing with the Manchu civil and military about sending troops.

At this time, the chamberlain hurried into the temple, holding a sealed letter in his hand.

"Queen Mother, this is a letter sent by Yang Yansi."

The chamberlain respectfully held the letter in front of Empress Dowager Xiao.

When the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty heard the letter from Yang Yansi, they immediately stopped discussing the matter of sending troops, and looked at the Empress Dowager Xiao with their necks raised one by one.

They were very angry about Yang Yansi's sudden letter to Empress Dowager Xiao.

Under the watchful eyes of the Empress Dowager Xiao, she opened the envelope.

Took out the letter inside.

Unfolded it, she was stunned.

For a moment, her face was covered with frost, and it seemed that she might go berserk at any time.

The Manchu Dynasty Wenwu was even more curious, and stretched his neck to see what kind of letter could make Empress Dowager Xiao angry to this point.

In the limelight.

The frost on Empress Dowager Xiao's face suddenly subsided, replaced by a hearty laugh, "Hahaha......"

Empress Dowager Xiao looked at the puzzled expressions of the Manchu Dynasty Wenwu and said with a smile: "Zhuqing, this time my Da Liao used troops against the Song State, so I can give it a go." Yang Yansi has promised not to interfere in this battle. ”

Empress Dowager Xiao picked up the letter paper and said with a smile: "This palace knows that Zhu Qing must be very curious, why is this palace so sure that Yang Yansi will not interfere in this battle. The answer is in the hands of Hongu, just one word. ”

Empress Dowager Xiao unfolded the letter paper and let the officials see the big characters on it clearly.

As a result, the civil and military officials in the entire hall were stunned.

A look of disbelief.

"Presumptuous!"

"Yang Yansi is tired of life!"

Han Derang and Yelu Hugo roared with blue faces.

can make Han Derang and Yelu Hugo angry at the same time, which is enough to prove that the word written by Yang Qi is not ordinary.

I saw a big character written on the snow-white paper.

'! ’

Such an insulting word was given by Yang Qi to Empress Dowager Xiao.

It was full of insults and insults.

Dare to send such a word to a big man who controls the power of an empire.

It is enough to see how bold and arrogant Yang Qi is.

On the contrary, Empress Dowager Xiao didn't seem to be angry at all at this word full of insults.

Instead, she was still comforting Han Derang and Brother Yelu Xiu, "Han Aiqing, Brother Xiu, you don't have to be angry. Han Aiqing is quite accomplished in calligraphy, you should be able to feel from this word that Yang Yansi was full of helplessness and anger when he wrote this word.

This just shows that he has no choice but to use this word to humiliate this palace in order to vent his dissatisfaction. ”

Empress Dowager Xiao looked at the Manchu Dynasty civil and military, "Before that, the palace sent someone to send a letter to Yang Yansi, and used a trick to make Yang Yansi throw a mouse trap and dare not participate in this Song-Liao battle." Now through this word, the palace can clearly know that Yang Yansi will not participate in the battle of Song Liao this time.

Because, the threat of this palace worked. ”

Empress Dowager Xiao said again: "As for this word, this palace thinks it's very good. The main palace will order someone to frame it and hang it on the main hall. This palace wants all of you to remember the demeanor of this heir. This palace also wants Yang Yansi to know the amount of energy in this palace's chest. ”

"Queen Mother Shengming!"

"The Queen Mother is mighty!"

"God bless Da Liao!"

“……”

A group of civil and military officials began to pat themselves on the back.

Yelu Hugo's face darkened: "It's not appropriate to hang this word on the main hall......"

Han Derang nodded, agreeing with Yelu Hugo's statement.

Empress Dowager Xiao shook her head, she put away the smile on her face, looked at everyone indifferently, and said softly: "This palace not only wants all of you to remember the demeanor of the heir immortals, but this palace also wants you to remember that there is an arrogant person who is insulting the mother of the country of Da Liao."

He is insulting the palace, and even more so insulting the entire Great Liao.

Hongu hopes that one day, you will be able to come to Hongu with the heads of arrogant people.

This palace hopes that one day, no one in the whole world will dare to say this word to anyone in my Daliao. ”

Empress Dowager Xiao looked at the hundred officials with cold eyes, and said solemnly: "This palace remembers that in the history books of the Song people, this emperor of the Tang Dynasty is recorded. At that time, someone invaded the territory of the Tang Dynasty and killed a citizen of the Tang Dynasty.

This Tang Emperor sent tens of thousands of troops and wiped out their entire tribe in order to comfort the spirits of the people in the sky under his rule.

This palace hopes that one day, I Da Liao, too! ”

"Huh~"

The Manchu civil and military fell to their knees.

Tragic and enthusiastic shouted: "The ministers obey the orders of the Queen Mother, are willing to die for Da Liao, and are willing to dominate the world." ”

Han Derang also knelt on the ground and gritted his teeth and roared, "One day, the old minister will definitely take off the head of that thief and send it to the Queen Mother." ”

Brother Yelu Xiu, the king of the Southern Courtyard who did not kneel, also knelt down at the knees of the Empress Dowager Xiao, and said solemnly: "This king will definitely break through the Song Kingdom, destroy the Yang family, and let me dominate the world." ”

The mother of a country dared to accept such a shameful humiliation, so as to inspire the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty.

She is enough to get the respect of the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty.

Empress Dowager Xiao nodded with satisfaction, "Very good!" You have such ambitions, and this palace is very relieved. ”
