0023 Cunning and cunning

"Well, that's good. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info”

Chen Xi was very satisfied with what the system presented to him in front of him.

"Raise the title of Yuezhou Taishou from a second-class baron to a second-class viscount."

The order of titles is in the order of duke, marquis, earl, son, and male, and the last two viscounts and barons, each of which is divided into five ranks.

Therefore, although Yuezhou Taishou was promoted from baron to viscount in title, he only rose one title, but in terms of level, he was promoted from second-class baron to first-class baron, fifth-class viscount, fourth-class viscount, third-class viscount, until the second-class viscount, a total of five levels.

So, why is it that Chen Xi is obviously giving others a knighthood, but Chen Xi himself seems very satisfied?

Because Chen Xi, as the emperor, of course will not do loss-making business.

"In this way, the army of King Qin of Yuezhou has increased from 60,000 to 80,000." Chen Xi said contentedly.

"Well, for Yuezhou, which has a small population, 80,000 troops is already very high." System Channel.

"That's right, not only King Qin's troops, but also Yuezhou Taishou's loyalty to me has increased from the original 43 to 62, which shows that for these smaller states and counties, the promotion of the title is still very attractive to them.

As for the number of troops, we have expanded from 250,000 to 280,000 now, and although the Jingshi Wangcheng is prosperous, if I recruit too many soldiers, it will directly affect my prestige.

Therefore, I want to let the princes share the burden of conscription for me, and as for what they want, I will give everything I can. ”

"Very good, you, the emperor, are becoming more and more stable, you can not only strengthen yourself, but also weaken the enemy, I believe that your opponent should be able to feel uneasy now, otherwise it would be really stupid."

"Report, there's a secret report coming."

Chen Xi took the secret report and quickly browsed it.

"Today is really a happy event, and there is good news over there in Ning Feixuan."

Ning Feixuan's convoy, when it was less than three days away from Yuzhou, was intercepted by Huizhou, and all the cotton transported was also robbed by Huizhou's people.

At this moment, the people of Yuzhou, who were already excited, couldn't sit still.

Because all the people of Yuzhou originally thought that the cotton could arrive in Yuzhou smoothly this time, but it was robbed again, resulting in a strong psychological gap.

Moreover, the people of Huizhou robbed the cotton very close to Yuzhou City, which was simply a slap in the face to the door.

I can't bear it, I can't bear it!

The people of Yuzhou gradually began to gather, at first it was only a scattered gathering, and as a result, people from different places slowly gathered in one place - the state capital.

All the excited crowd gradually gathered into a torrent, shouting slogans and came to the door of the state capital to petition.

"What to do? What should I do now? ”

Yuan Sen panicked now, if he allowed the angry people to wander in front of the state capital, it would be like piling up a pile of dry firewood in front of his own house.

If you encounter a trace of Mars, it is likely to bring a devastating disaster.

Yuan Sen hurriedly convened the civil and military forces of the whole city to discuss countermeasures.

At this moment, although Chen Xi was in the Jingshi Wangcheng thousands of miles away, he had already predicted the outcome of Yuan Sen's state capital meeting.

"Yuan Sen should have been driven to a dead end this time, and no matter how reluctant he is in the next step, he will be the enemy of Huizhou." The system says.

"That's right, if he only caused the anger of the people of Yuzhou before, then he still has room to maneuver.

Although the people were angry, it was not so easy to gather, because the soldiers of Yuzhou could disperse them at any time.

But now the situation is different, the cotton is being robbed again, not only hurting the lives of the people.

The most important thing is that Yuan Sen's own cronies are no longer able to support it.

In this way, who will drive the crowd in front of the state capital for Yuan Sen? ”

Chen Xi said confidently.

Sure enough, Yuan Sen's state capital meeting was exactly the same as Chen Xi expected.

First of all, all the military attachés excused themselves for various reasons and were unable to carry out the task of going out into the streets to disperse the crowd.

Then, all the civil officials also began to discuss, even those who persuaded Yuan Sen to endure before, this time they also began to persuade Yuan Sen to give Huizhou a little color.

Of course, Yuan Sen knew that what his officials said was right, but after all, he knew that once he really had a head-on conflict with Huizhou, Yu Tianhua was afraid that he would not be able to explain.

Therefore, after thinking about it again and again, Yuan Sen made such a decision.

5,000 elite soldiers from Yuzhou were sent to escort the cotton convoy to ensure that the cotton would not be robbed by Huizhou again, and at the same time issued a statement demanding that Huizhou return the stolen cotton.

After Chen Xi learned the news through Ning Feixuan's secret report, he couldn't help but secretly sigh at Yuan Sen's cunning.

Yuan Sen was able to stabilize his mind when faced with such a difficult problem and knew what he should do most.

The people outside the gate of the state capital petitioned with great enthusiasm, and they demanded that Yushu immediately start a war with Huizhou.

But Yuan Sen knew that if he wanted the people to leave the state capital, he did not have to meet the demands of the people.

As long as the cotton can be transported smoothly to Yuzhou, it will be able to ensure the profits of the owners of the large textile workshops and the large dyeing workshops.

And when their income is stable, they will naturally obey Yuan Sen's orders and begin to let the gathered people go home and do whatever they want to do through soft and hard methods.

Therefore, Yuan Sen's move was a good move, not only avoiding a head-on conflict with Huizhou, but also stabilizing the situation in Yuzhou, this old fox still had two moves. ”

The system clarified Yuan Sen's purpose for Chen Xi in detail.

"Okay, since the old fox has made a move, then we will see the move." After Chen Xi learned about the cunning of his opponent, not only was he not disappointed, but he became more excited because of the challenge.

Chen Xi quickly thought of a plan, wrote a secret message, and passed it to Ning Feixuan, who was in Yuzhou.

At this time, Chen Xi and Ning Feixuan were not so much the relationship between the monarch and the minister, but the relationship between the brain and the siblings was more accurate.

Therefore, all of Ning Feixuan's actions can also be regarded as Chen Xi's actions.

Next, what Chen Xi wanted Ning Feixuan to do was to stand still.

Stop the rumors about walking in Yuzhou, and do not deliberately stir up tensions with Huizhou in the process of transporting cotton and buying cotton.

There was only one thing that Chen Xi wanted Ning Feixuan to do - to find out the temperament and temperament of the general soldiers of the five thousand soldiers.

Ning Feixuan began to do what Chen Xi told him to do.

At first, he wanted to use money to get close to the chief soldier, but it turned out that the chief soldier did not like to be greedy.

Then as he got along every day, Ning Feixuan even found that there was a sense of arrogance in this chief soldier.

Ning Feixuan inquired around in the army again, and finally got important information.

This general soldier was promoted entirely by his own hard work and some minor military exploits.

Therefore, he will instinctively look down on those who are opportunistic and go around camping.

After Ning Feixuan got this information, he didn't dare to delay for a moment, and secretly reported it to Chen Xi.

Chen Xi looked at the secret report and snapped his fingers and said,

"Good, so let's do it next."
