Chapter 531: Encountering Old Acquaintances
Nearly 100 people ate dumplings, and Su Xiaoluo took more than an hour to finish the wrapping, and left some meat filling for the animals!
After the New Year, he continued to hurry, entering the territory of Xiyu, the more he walked to the capital, the higher the temperature, and Su Xiaoluo had a feeling of being in the tropics.
Shang Tingyuan was too hot, Su Xiaoluo found some wild flowers to help her weave a wreath, the little girl knew that her mother didn't like her boasting, so she turned her head and asked Shang Yi and Xiao Gudong, "Good-looking?" ”
"It's very good-looking, the county lord is like a little fairy!" Xiao Gudong's eyes were full of Shang Tianyuan, forgetting that Su Xiaoluo was still by his side!
Shang Yi nodded naturally, the appearance of their father and daughter was there, do you still need to praise it? People who say they are not good-looking either have eye problems or are jealous, and daughters-in-law are a different matter!
"Praise her with all your might, and indulge her. One day there is a better looking person than Qingqing, she will definitely feel that she has fallen from the sky to the ground, and she will not be able to stand it! Su Xiaoluo warned everyone.
Shang Yi thought about his daughter-in-law's words and felt that it made sense, so he let his daughter look at herself: "Qingqing, you are very good-looking, but the world is very big, there must be people who are better looking than us, if we meet such a person, we must accept it calmly!" ”
Shang Tianyuan tilted his head and thought for a while: "Let's play together!" ”
"Look, my daughter is very open-minded, and she wants to invite the other party to play, so you will worry about it." Shang Yi was very satisfied with her daughter's answer.
Su Xiaoluo wants to say that a woman's jealousy is unimaginable for men, and she also hopes that her daughter will be open-minded, but I hope that she is worried about the sky!
The group walked for two more days to reach the capital of Xiyu, and Shang Yi took out the letter written by Ji Yunyou and entered the palace to meet Emperor Xiyu.
Su Xiaoluo asked people to buy some food and daily necessities, thinking that Shang Yi would come back from the palace, they would stay here for one night and leave, hoping to enter the territory of Qifeng before the Chinese New Year's Eve, and then they would find a place to celebrate the New Year, and they could leave home on the third day of junior high school!
As soon as he thought of the princess's mansion, Su Xiaoluo hated to grow a pair of wings and fly back immediately!
"Daughter-in-law, I met Tuo Lei in the palace, and he must invite us to the Five Kings' Mansion as guests!" The new emperor of Xiyu is ruthless enough, he only gave Tuo Lei the title of king, not even a title, and now Tuo Lei, who is even having difficulty walking, looks like he accepts his fate, but I don't know if he has accepted such a fate in his heart.
"How did you meet him?" This luck is too bad, Su Xiaoluo really doesn't want to deal with Tuo Lei and Princess Xinya.
It's not that I'm afraid of them, but I don't know how long this delay will take, and I don't know if I can rush back to Qifeng before the year.
"I refused Tuo Lei's separate invitation, only promised that the emperor would attend the palace banquet, before the palace banquet I will talk to him about the gold mine, for the sake of the gold mine, he will not work with Tuo Lei to embarrass us.
On the way back, I heard that Xinya's temperament has changed a lot now, and I don't know how to completely change her appearance, and several generals in Xiyu are her ministers under her skirt, and I think she is the one we should worry about. "If there is another way, Shang Yi really doesn't want to leave Xiyu.
"No, we'll mine that gold mine ourselves, and we'll leave tomorrow after the banquet!" Su Xiaoluo didn't want to deal with Tuo Lei and Xinya either.
When Shang Yi went to see Emperor Xiyu, he saw a rather bewitching beauty beside him, and he took one look and started to talk about business without a second look.
Emperor Xiyu didn't expect Shang Yi to actually take the mining rights of the part of the gold mine in Sang Zhu's hands, and he also found someone to talk to Sang Zhu, but unfortunately he couldn't negotiate.
Xiyu has already started digging for gold here, but the reserves are not as much as expected, the closer they get to Yika, the more gold, the Xiyu people have long had the idea of occupying the entire gold mine, but they didn't expect Shang Yi to send the opportunity to the eyes.
"Doesn't Shang Xiang want to mine it himself?" It was still far away from Qifeng, and Emperor Xiyu was sure that Shang Yi wanted to sell the gold mining rights, rather than hire someone to mine it himself.
"In front of the emperor, Shang will not go around the corner, this is far away from Qifeng, and if we want to mine gold, we have to invest several times the manpower and material resources.
To be honest, Shang has no interest in mining gold, and if he can exchange it for what he wants, Shang is willing to give up this mining right. ”
Emperor Xiyu asked Shang Yi to state his conditions.
"First, during the Xiyu period, the emperor wants to ensure the safety of our family and the people and animals brought with us."
Emperor Xiyu sneered in his heart, it seems that Shang Yi and his wife have a feud with Tuo Lei and Xinya is a real thing, not a rumor, Shang Yi is afraid that the two of them will attack them, so he talked to himself about opening a gold mine before the banquet, this person has calculated every step of the way, and his mind is indeed delicate!
Shang Xiang continued!
"The second thing, Shang can do without gold and silver, you draw a place five times the size of the gold mine on the border between the two countries, and it will be owned by Qifeng forever.
Or exchange it for cotton and cattle and sheep at a discount, and see which one is more convenient in Xiyu! ”
Emperor Xiyu asked Shang Yi at what price he had obtained the gold mining rights.
Shang Yi converted those compensation into silver and reported it to Emperor Xiyu, facing the same number as the Book of Heaven, Emperor Xiyu was silent, these silver were almost enough to buy the entire gold mine, he couldn't give this price, and it was impossible to exchange items of the same price.
"I think it's better for Shang Xiang to mine it himself!"
Shang Yi was not surprised by this answer: "According to the data of my people's detection, the reserves of this gold mine on the Yika side are at least three times that of Xiyu. Shang Mou, who had also read the contract you had drawn up, could expand another ten miles according to the above agreement, and the gold in the ground could not be lost at once when it reached the place where you measured, how much gold could be mined in ten miles, the emperor knew better than me in his heart, are you sure to give up? ”
The temptation of the gold mine was too great, and Emperor Xiyu didn't want to give up this opportunity, but Shang Yi's price was too high, and he didn't want to pay so much silver.
To put it bluntly, he wanted gold mines, but he didn't want to take so much silver.
Shang Yi guessed his thoughts, and pretended not to see it, if there was a gold mine, I believed that if Tuo Lei and Princess Xinya wanted to embarrass their husband and wife, Emperor Xiyu would not stand idly by, and there was a handwritten letter written by Ji Yunyou!
After Shang Yi left, the bewitching woman turned out from behind the screen: "It seems that Shang Yi also has things to worry about and fear, I really don't know what is good about that Su Xiaoluo, let him never forget it, and chase from Qifeng to Yika." ”
"Why do you still miss him, do you want him to be your colt?" Emperor Xiyu asked the woman beside him.
"Is that okay?" The woman's eyes flashed, and Emperor Xiyu looked out noncommittally, Shang Yi was not so easy to manipulate.
It is said that his wife still has the ability to resist beasts, Emperor Xiyu doesn't want to provoke these two people, and he doesn't even get a good deal with Sang Chay, he doesn't think that Tuo Lei and Xinya can take advantage of anything.
