Two top-grade Yuan Stones, even if Wang Mang was already used to seeing big scenes, he couldn't help but be shocked at this moment.

According to the market price, a top-grade yuan stone is worth 10 million taels of gold, but the problem is that you can't buy a top-grade yuan stone with 10 million taels of gold, and it is simply a priceless thing.

Wang Mang looked at Li Zheng deeply, Li Zheng's face was indifferent, and he didn't seem to see the shocked look that flashed on Wang Mang's face before.

"What do you want?" Wang Mang asked straight to the point, giving such a heavy salute, if there is no considerable request, it is absolutely impossible.

"Your Majesty, the villain used to be mainly engaged in the salt and iron business in the original South Korea, and this salt and iron business has always been governmental, but now the Korean room is gone, but the villain's business does not know if it can continue to be done. Li Zhengdao.

Wang Mang's expression remained unchanged, he also knew about the richest man in South Korea, this person was indeed an official businessman in a sense, and the business he did was the salt and iron business controlled by the imperial court in previous dynasties, and even Wang Mang knew that through the salt and iron business, Li Zheng also controlled the transportation business of several waterways, and he was really making money every day.

Now that South Korea is gone, South Korea's salt and iron official business naturally fell into Wang Mang's hands, Wang Mang has no one to do this, including the previous Qin State's business is not operated by Wang Mang, and now Li Zheng took the initiative to find Wang Mang to continue to do South Korea's salt and iron business, and offered such a big gift, Wang Mang pondered for a moment and agreed.

"Thank you, Your Majesty. When Li Zheng heard Wang Mang's promise, he was immediately overjoyed, and then his face was embarrassed: "Your Majesty, the villain still has a reluctant request......

Here it comes!

Wang Mang already knew that Li Zheng was not just looking for himself for the salt and iron business, although the salt and iron business made money, but most of them were also fortunate money, and there was a lot of water in it, after all, this business had to go on, and there were indispensable dots along the way, and there may not be many that could be dealt with in the end, as long as the salt and iron business, 10 million taels of gold would be enough, plus two superb yuan stones, that is, the salt and iron business of the Qin State would also be done, and it was estimated that it would be difficult to return to the original cost in more than ten years.

After all, after receiving money from others, Wang Mang couldn't drive people directly, so he said: "In front of me, there is no reluctant invitation, and if you have something to say, you can say it directly." ”

"Your Majesty, the villain knows that His Majesty has mastered a tunnel leading from Shouyang Mountain to Hedong County of Qinguo, and through this tunnel, the direct distance between Qin and Han can be greatly shortened, and the villain dares to ask His Majesty to hand over the operation of this tunnel to the villain. Li Zheng said cautiously.

At first, the Koreans didn't know why the Qin people suddenly went deep into the interior of Korea, but after a long time, many of the Koreans knew that there was a tunnel in Shouyang Mountain to Hedong County of the Qin State, speaking of which, this road was discovered by South Korea first, and even sent some people to the Qin State to make trouble, but it was unlucky that the Qin people found out, not only all the people sent to the Qin State were gone, but even the Qin people also sent troops to attack Korea through the tunnel.

To a certain extent, this tunnel is indeed a complete connection between Qin and Han, and even through this road to South Korea is much closer than from Hangu Pass, from the commercial value, this tunnel can completely revitalize the economy of western Korea and the eastern part of Qin, and the value brought is immeasurable, but to say that this tunnel is worth two superb yuan stones, Wang Mang does not believe it.

"Just the right to operate this tunnel?" Wang Mang said lightly.

"Yes, it's the right to operate this tunnel. Li Zheng saw that Wang Mang seemed to have disbelief on his face, and continued: "The villain does not hide it from His Majesty, Your Majesty may think that although this road is valuable, it is not too valuable, but the villain does not think so. ”

As he spoke, Li Zheng's gaze fell on a map on Wang Mang's side, and said: "Your Majesty, from the map, Shouyang City and Hedong County are connected together by tunnels, and above this tunnel are dense forests, and even more endless mountain ranges, endless mountains that few people have stepped into since the thousand-year-old holy war. ”

Seeing that Wang Mang was a little serious on his face, Li Zheng continued: "The mountain range that has not been developed for thousands of years, Your Majesty, this means countless wealth, the villain just wants to reach the middle of the Endless Forest through this tunnel, and then dig a hole from the ground up, directly through the vast forest, and enter the interior of the Endless Forest. ”

"That doesn't convince me. Wang Mang said.

Li Zheng's expression darkened, sighed, and said: "Until now, the villain has to tell the truth, there is indeed endless wealth in the Endless Forest, but the most important thing is that one of the ancestors of my Li family died in the middle of the Endless Forest, and that ancestor has something as important as my Li family, and the villain wants to find the ancestor through this tunnel to recover the ancestral things, hoping that His Majesty will be fulfilled." ”

As he spoke, Li Zheng knelt directly towards Wang Mang.

Wang Mang was silent for a long time and said, "Yes." ”

"Thank you, Lord Ron. Li Zhenghuan kowtowed happily, he was still thinking about what reason to continue to make up, but he didn't expect Wang Mang to agree directly.

After Li Zheng left, Bai Qi said: "Your Majesty, what this person said is not credible. ”

"I know it's not credible, but people come to the door with heavy gifts, it can be said that they are sincere, and I can't detain people for unfounded reasons. Wang Mang said.

"Do you want to send someone to follow him and see who he comes into contact with?" Bai Qi said.

"No need, this person is scheming and won't show his flaws so easily, even if he does, that's just what he wants to show us, and the real things will not be revealed. Wang Mang said: "This person's intelligence is not weak, I think about it now, as early as when he recognized me in Qingdefang, I am afraid that he was ready to deal with me one day." ”

"Your Majesty will not think too highly of him. Bai Qi said.

"Sometimes it's not a bad thing to look up to other people. Wang Mang said meaningfully: "But the biggest surprise that this person gave me today was not 10 million gold or this superb Yuan Stone, but the matter of Qingdefang, I really didn't expect that Fang Xizhi would be Zhang Jian's person, or that these two people would have such a secret relationship, it was really a big gossip, so I couldn't help but want to find someone to share." ”

"Your Majesty wants?" raised his eyebrows.

"Send someone to arrest Zhang Jian, and I will ask him personally what I have done to make him turn his back on me like this. Wang Mang had a smile on his face, but everyone who heard Wang Mang's order knew that Zhang Jian, the former official of the Ministry of Shangshu who was extremely favored by the elders of several dynasties, was afraid that this time it would be difficult to escape.

Li Lan came in with Bao Xi at this time, Wang Mang couldn't help but be taken aback when he saw Bao Xi, and he didn't know what Shangguan Wan'er was going to do when he asked Bao Xi to come over at this time.

In front of outsiders, Bao Xi did a good job of etiquette for Wang Mang, Wang Mang knew that Bao Xi must have a reason for looking for him, Bai Case waved everyone away, and said, "What did the Queen Mother let you do with me?"

Bao Xi took out a letter with a faint expression, waved it casually, and fell into Wang Mang's hand, saying: "This is what the Queen Mother asked me to tell you, you can open it and see." ”

Wang Mang opened the letter with some doubts, and was soon attracted by the content of the letter, after reading the letter, it instantly turned to ashes, Wang Mang's eyebrows jumped, I don't know what means Shangguan Wan'er used to do this, and then looked at Bao Xi and said: "What is said in this letter is true?"

"I don't know, I didn't read it. Bao Xi shook her head.

Wang Mang looked at Bao Xi's cold appearance, knowing that Bao Xi was not lying, Bao Xi's identity was very problematic, but Shangguan Wan'er was the most trusting, and a big reason for this was Bao Xi's temperament, the whole person was a piece of ice from the outside to the inside, what feelings can you expect a piece of ice to have, since there is no emotion, naturally there is nothing that can make Bao Xi's cold heart interested, so Bao Xi will naturally feel at ease.

"You came this time, does the Queen Mother have any other explanations for you?" Wang Mang said.

"The Queen Mother knew that Her Majesty was going to Yiqu, so let me go all the way. Bao Xi said: "The Queen Mother has some arrangements in Yiqu Country, and these arrangements have been handed over to me by the Queen Mother, and I will give Your Majesty some help when I go to Yiqu, to be precise, the Queen Mother will give Your Majesty some help." ”

"It's enough for me to go to Yiqu alone. Wang Mang said.

"Nope. Bao Xi shook his head and said: "Yiqu is not simple, Yiqu can always be established between Qin and Zhao, not only because Qin and Zhao want to keep Yiqu as a strategic buffer, but also for other reasons, some people keep Yiqu." ”

"Then no one is guarding Yiqu now?" Wang Mang's expression froze, he really didn't think that a small Yiqu would have someone behind him.

"Yes, but it doesn't matter. Bao Xi said.

Wang Mang heard Bao Xi say this, and knew that the person in Baoyi Canal was afraid that something was wrong, and he didn't want to ask much about this matter, anyway, he would always know what he should know, so he would arrange someone to arrange Bao Xi to stay, but Bao Xi did not leave, but said: "According to the instructions of the Queen Mother, I will always follow Your Majesty and never leave." ”

"You also follow me for changing clothes and bathing?" Wang Mang said coldly.

Bao Xi's expression was as indifferent as snow, and he said coldly: "I will stay at the door of His Majesty's changing clothes and bathing place." ”

"Whatever you want. Wang Mang knew that there was no reason to talk about this person, anyway, this Bao Xi was a master, and with her watching from the side, he could be less vigilant and guarded.

Three days later, a group of people appeared in Hancheng, Wang Mang got the news, his expression was shocked, and he knew that the person he was waiting for had finally arrived.

Continental Alliance, after Wang Mang dealt with the matter of Hancheng, he never left, that is, he was waiting for the people of the Continental Alliance, Qin and South Korea are both constituent countries of the Continental Alliance, and they are also important powers within the Continental Alliance, although the contradiction between Qin and South Korea was provoked by South Korea, but in the end it was Qin that won the final victory, during the war between Qin and Han, the Continental Alliance never replied, that was only because the Continental Alliance did not prevent South Korea from using troops against Qin before, and now it is naturally embarrassed to prevent Qin from using troops against South Korea, and the Continental Alliance did not expect that the final result of the war was that South Korea was destroyed by Qin。

After the news that South Korea was eaten by the Qin State was transmitted back to the Continental Alliance, the people of the Continental Alliance were all taken aback, and several deacons who stayed behind every day were even shocked by the news for a long time and did not come back to their senses, and then immediately informed the upper echelons of the alliance of the news, and the upper echelons of the alliance were also shocked。

Tan Jian entered Hancheng with a group of adults, looking at the Qin army stationed in Hancheng, his face was full of sighs, thinking back to when he first met Wang Mang, Wang Mang was just a fledgling emperor of Qin, and almost no one in the countries looked down on him, and a master of the Continental Alliance like him only had a little respect on his face, and it was only a long time before people not only cultivated to the peak of the gods, but also led the well-known weak country of Qin to rise all the way, and now even South Korea has been swallowed, which is really shocking.

"Tan Jian, I remember that you once went to the Qin Kingdom and met with that Qin Emperor, in your opinion, this Qin Emperor is willing to withdraw from Korea?" a middle-aged man said lightly.

"Uncle Shi, it is estimated that it is difficult. Tan Jian shook his head, he felt empathy, if he was Wang Mang, it would be impossible for him to spit out the fat that had swallowed his mouth again, he felt that the elders of the alliance were thinking too simply.

Qin will definitely be an ally of the Continental Alliance, the people of the Continental Alliance are looking for it, Wang Mang immediately ordered people to greet them according to the highest standard, and he waited in the original hall of Han Yu, Han Yu and a group of Korean clans stood quietly in the hall, looking at Wang Mang with a look of fear, most of the Korean clans have been moved to Qin by Wang Mang, but they have been staying still, and they don't know what it means, so they always have some drums in their hearts.

"The special envoy of the Continental Alliance has arrived!" Li Lan shouted to make everyone's eyes in the hall solemn, and Wang Mang also raised his head to look outside the hall.

A group of more than a dozen people came outside the hall, Wang Mang noticed Tan Jian at the end of the group, and nodded slightly, after all, although Tan Jian did not take the initiative back then, he indirectly helped him, and he had to remember the feelings of others.

After the envoys of the Continental Alliance entered the hall, they looked at Wang Mang with a faint face, and Wang Mang also looked at the people of the Continental Alliance with a faint face, all waiting for each other's salute, but they just stared at each other for half an hour, but they finally found that the other party was waiting for each other to salute, Wang Mang smiled inexplicably and said: " I have always been grateful for the great righteousness of the Continental Alliance to help the weak and save the people from fire and water, but unfortunately I have never been able to visit the Alliance, but today I can see your envoys but I have also counted some wishes......"

Cough!

Li Lan coughed and said on the side: "Your Majesty, there is only one envoy. ”

Wang Mang looked stunned for a moment, and looked at the people of the Continental Alliance: "I still thought that you were all special envoys of the alliance, forgive me, forgive me, I don't know who the envoys are?"

Wang Mang said as he seemed to look towards the crowd, but he never looked at the person standing in the middle with a blue face, and this person was the alliance's envoy Han Li.

Han Li's eyes were full of anger, he now glared at Han Yu and the other Korean clans fiercely, and then said proudly: "This seat, the alliance's envoy Han Li, has been ordered by the alliance to ask about the crime, Qin Emperor Wang Mang, are you guilty?"
