The couple looked at the rapidly growing origin tree, but they were speechless for a while.

After a long time, at last, when the tree had grown to the thickness of the hug and the height of ten feet, it finally stopped growing. The whirlpool in the lake quickly disappeared and soon calmed down.

"Lang Jun, this is growing so fast"

Xun Ying pointed to the Origin Tree, not knowing what to say, and her face was a little tangled.

Li Zheng was not surprised, he quickly came back to his senses, laughed, pinched his daughter-in-law Ruyu's face, and said with a smile: "This is just a sprout, and for the long life of the origin tree, it is just a sapling." This origin tree is very useful, and it will come here for morning exercise in the future, which is good for the body. ”

"Oh"

Xun Ying's face was still puzzled.

"Okay Xiaoying, the role of this tree, you will gradually understand it in the future." As he spoke, Li Zheng flipped his palm, and another ball of light appeared in his palm.

"This is again" Xun Ying was already tired and couldn't be surprised.

Li Zheng smiled: "Look" said and threw the light cluster onto the trunk of the Origin Tree. Then, as if it had met muddy water, the light quickly dissolved into it.

Choosing to integrate the spirit of the number jù into the Origin Tree was a decision made by Li Zheng after some mature thinking.

Although it takes too long for the Origin Tree to grow, its strength is undeniable. Combining the Spirit of the Number Jù with the Origin Tree naturally has the greatest potential.

Anyway, I can't be sure how long it will take for the Spirit of Counting Jù to hatch, and I don't know when it will come in handy, so let's just choose the best direction for it.

After handling a qiē properly, Li Zheng took his daughter-in-law and returned to the mansion.

For Li Zheng, the Origin Tree and the Spirit of Numbers are useless for the time being, but Li Zheng believes that one day they will be of absolutely powerful use. After all, there's a biological growth accelerator in the meadow, isn't it?

Of course, even with two-thirds of the shorter growth time, it would still take hundreds of thousands of years for the Origin Tree to mature. Maybe even this kind of primary growth accelerator will play a much less role for a powerful creature like the Origin Tree. But after all, there is a secret shop, and you may not know when you will swipe out another high-level, ultimate accelerator.

As for the special purpose of the spirit of the number jù, Li Zheng is already planning to establish a number center in his heart to store all kinds of data and information, and be fully prepared. Once the Spirit of Counting Jù hatches, all the information it has collected can be stored in it immediately, and it can be used immediately

Chang'an, Xiangguo Mansion.

Dong Zhuo's figure is already very bloated, and he is no longer as strong and strong as he used to be. However, in just one year, Dong Zhuo has become like this, which shows how much the environment has changed people.

Eat and drink, have nothing to do with women, kill people to find excitement, don't be too happy.

In fact, the physical change is nothing, the real change is still inside. Maybe Dong Zhuo was born brutal, but if it had been a year ago, he would have shrewdly restrained this inner thing. But now, he doesn't need to be restrained anymore.

The huge power that he has begun to lose.

If you are a little unsatisfactory, you can kill people at every turn. In the entire Xiangguo Mansion, I don't know how many little girls and maids have died in an unknown way. The ministers of the DPRK and China are like snakes and scorpions to him.

Although people are getting more and more stupid, Dong Zhuo is not stupid to be able to go from a humble martial artist to this point. It's just that he subconsciously thinks that no one can restrain him now, so he will be unscrupulous.

But in this world, there are still some people who are still worried about him all the time, like a fish in their throats.

Like, the general who borders the west!

Dong Zhuo Pangshuo's body sat upright on the main seat, squinting slightly, looking at the scribe standing tall under the hall, without saying a word, he kept seeing the scribe's heart cold, and then said gently: "Li Zhengxi called you to come and do business with Xiangguo?" ”

"Exactly!"

The scribe's heart was slightly relieved, and he said, "My lord wants to make a big deal with Xiangguo. ”

"What kind of big deal?" Dong Zhuo didn't seem to care at all, and his words were very casual.

"Weapons, armor, and food." The scribe replied.

"Oh?" Dong Zhuo grinned: "Is there such a thing as a difference between the prime minister and the country?" ”

"Haha," the scribe smiled, but his heart gradually tightened: "I'm afraid Dong Xiangguo has never seen our Liangzhou armor, right?" It's not a big talk, in the whole world, there is no place that can compare with our Liangzhou! ”

After a pause, the scribe continued: "With all due respect, Dong Xiangguo, you hold the Han court, but the place you can really control is only in Guanzhong, and if the edict is not out of Guanzhong, how can you be worthy of Dong Xiangguo's status?!" The Kanto group of ugly people are shouting outside Hangu Pass, doesn't Dong Xiangguo want to teach them a lesson? But there are many ugly soldiers and horses in the Kwantung group, and if Dong Xiangguo wants to destroy them, he needs more soldiers. To recruit more soldiers, you need more armor and food. Now that Guanzhong is in a depression, I am afraid it will be difficult to meet the needs of Dong Xiangguo. ”

Dong Zhuo listened and didn't say a word, as if he had closed his eyes.

After a long time, he said: "So, what does Li Zhengxi want?" ”

When the scribe heard this, he knew that he had already moved Dong Zhuo, so he smiled and said, "First, population. Second, books! ”

"Population book" Dong Zhuo chewed for a moment, but said: "Li Zhengxi has gotten a lot of people from my Guanzhong during this period of time, isn't he still satisfied?" Furthermore, I also need a population, a land for farming, and a source of soldiers, so this condition cannot be agreed to. As for books, you can. ”

"Dong Xiangguo is wise." The scribe complimented, but said, "But the population in the Guanzhong can not move, can't the Kanto people not move?" Xiangguo can send troops to Kanto, plunder the population, and then use it to trade with my lord! ”

When Dong Zhuo heard this, he couldn't help but move in his heart.

This is completely a business without capital, robbing the population of the Kwantung region, exchanging it for armor and food from Li Zheng's hands, and indirectly weakening the strength of the Kwantung princes, this is simply killing two birds with one stone, and I couldn't help but nod for a while.

Dong Zhuo said: "I heard that Li Zhengxi also received a letter from Qiao Mao, so I wanted to ask, why did Li Zhengxi not send troops to the east to crusade against the Xiangguo, but instead sold the soldiers and grain of the Xiangguo?" ”

"Haha" Hearing this, the scribe laughed loudly and said, "My lord is similar to Xiangguo, and he also looks down on the Kanto group of ugliness. Moreover, I don't hide it from Dong Xiangguo, compared with entering Guanzhong in the east, my father-in-law is more interested in expanding the territory. ”

"Oh?" Dong Zhuo grinned: "I didn't expect Li Zhengxi's ambitions to be so ambitious?!" ”

"That's nature." The scribe said proudly: "My lord has fair Qianghu, all of which are in Liangzhou, but to the west there is the Western Regions, which was also the territory of the Han Dynasty, and to the north there is a large grassland, where there are millions of people, and there are countless cattle, sheep and horses. ”

Dong Zhuo nodded slowly and said, "Okay, this deal should be done." However, your armor still needs to be tested, it is not strong enough and not sharp enough, and you don't want it. As for the specific price, you will talk to Li Su later, and after the negotiation is completed, you will inform this Xiangguo. ”

After speaking, Dong Zhuo got up slowly, and slowly walked out of the lobby with a strong military general who was more than nine feet tall, had a sharp face, and looked like a wolf.

As a result, there were only two people left in the room. One is a scribe, and the other is Li Su, who once met Li Zheng.

Next, it is necessary to test the strength of the armor.

Although the sample looked very old, and there were even some flaws and chips on the blade, after some testing, Li Su was satisfied.

In Li Su's opinion, unless it is a divine weapon, an ordinary blade is completely inferior to the sample brought by this scribe, and even then the product is already very old.

After that, the price is negotiated.

It was the same price as Zhou Lin proposed to the Han clan - ten young and strong people in exchange for a weapon or armor, or twenty young and strong women, or thirty underage children, or fifty old and weak people. Grain was exchanged for five people per stone, both old and weak.

Li Zheng can not want the Huns to be old and weak, but the Han people are old and weak, Li Zheng wants.

At the same time, there are all the books collected by the Han court, which are packaged and exchanged for two thousand sets of armor. And Dong Zhuo can continue to collect books, and when he reaches a certain number, he still packs them in exchange.

Finally, the scribe also put forward a condition.

When Dong Zhuo's army plundered the population and returned, try not to lose it, and the food needed in it will be provided by Liangzhou.

If the population taken over by Liangzhou is dying, then the deal will be terminated.

It can be regarded as a restriction on Dong Zhuo, lest the army under Dong Zhuo's command come out of chaos and plunder a hundred people, and when it comes to Li Zheng's hands, there are only ten. In this way, it goes against Li Zheng's original intention.

exchanging population with Dong Zhuo is not only to enrich Liangzhou, but also to try to help some compatriots. After all, at a time when the Central Plains was in turmoil and famine, Liangzhou was the real paradise.

After negotiating the price, Li Su and the scribe met with Dong Zhuo again, explained it in detail, and after obtaining Dong Zhuo's consent, they immediately prepared to start trading.

Dong Zhuo was also generous, and even promised to deliver the books first.

This made the scribe very happy, and he promised to transport the armor as much as possible. And agreed on the place of trade in the future, and set it at Chencang. Dong Zhuo transported the population and books to Chencang, and then Li Zheng transported grain and armor to Chencang, and the two sides exchanged.

This transaction is related to the growth of Dong Zhuo's strength, so Dong Zhuo is very concerned. After the agreement, he immediately sent people to the inner palace to empty the books in the palace's Yan Pavilion, Guangnai, and secret rooms, and then moved the Taishi and Doctor's books under Taichang to the bottom.

A total of more than 30,000 bamboo slips were obtained, and it took 300 carriages to fit them!
