Qin Zhongzhi heard that Yu Yu said that he should prepare as soon as possible, so he no longer persuaded him, and directly handed over the bamboo slip in his hand, "This is a letter drafted by a certain party, to the king of Beiliang, you can see if it is feasible." ”

Tan Zhaoyu took it and read it carefully, and found that Qin Zhongzhi had spoken very well.

The Lu Shuihu people took the initiative to participate in the defense of the city in order to defend Beiliang, but in the end, they ended up with a broken family and a dead person. Whether this matter is the instruction of the King of Beiliang, or his envoy Fox Fake Tiger Might, in short, it can't be worse.

If the king of Beiliang didn't want to lose the hearts of the people, he shouldn't have killed the Lu Shuihu people anymore. Otherwise, who will dare to continue to serve Bei Liang in the future?

After reading it, Invite Yu said with satisfaction: "Everything that should be said is almost done." One more thing, if the King of Beiliang is still so contrary to the harmony of heaven, then the palace will no longer abide by the ten-year covenant. ”

Qin Zhongzhi was stunned, "What ten-year covenant?" ”

Tan Zhaoyu remembered that when the master questioned her, Qin Zhongzhi didn't dare to step forward, so he didn't know. Invite Yu replied indifferently: "I lied to him and told him that if he helped me, I would ensure that he would be prosperous for ten years." ”

Qin Zhongzhi snorted, "It seems that you are quite optimistic about Beiliang." ”

In troubled times, it is difficult to say whether there will be a tomorrow, let alone ten years.

Tan Yuyu continued: "But it depends on his treatment of Lu Shuihu's people." I have only been looking at Beiliang for these ten years. ”

Ordinary people like to say "bad spirits, not good spirits", Qin Zhongzhi really hopes that Tan Yuyu can crow mouth once this time. After all, if Bei Liang is destroyed, there is no harm to Qiu Chi.

Qiu Chi is also short of people. There are only a few ways to increase the population now, and it is certainly too late to live.

Other methods, one of which is to go out to plunder, even if Qiu Chi has the help of Lu Shuihu, it is still not enough to reach a fraction of the Northern Wei army. At most, you can only scrape oil from Xiqin.

Then there is the wide opening of the country, allowing displaced people who have lost their homes due to war to enter the city for resettlement. Qiu Chi can only use this method at the moment. Not only is it a bit of a waiting, but there are a lot of troubles in the follow-up.

But even so, Qin Zhongzhi still hoped that there would be more homeless people in Western Qin or Northern Liang, so that Qiu Chi could profit from it.

After agreeing on the final letter to the king of Beiliang, Fuqu Mengxun, Qin Zhongzhi told Qiu Chi about the recent situation of Yanjing in the past few months to invite Yu.

"It's been almost half a year since the last time the girl sent a message. Zhu Yuanyuan has been taking care of it before. Some time ago, when she left, she went to so-and-so's hand. However, a certain is just a gourd to draw a scoop, and the main things have been arranged before Zhu Yuanyuan leaves. Recently, Yanjing's income has risen steadily, and finally the treasury has a fixed source of money. ”

Tan Zhaoyu nodded, no business is not rich, not to mention that they are still in the salt business. Today's Qiu Chi is no longer the Qiu Chi that can still make a few loud noises when a copper is thrown down.

Invite Yu asked again: "Have you explained everything to the caravan?" ”

Qin Zhongzhi nodded: "I have already discussed it with them, so let's just say that they sold salt from the south." These caravans have been shuttling from Qiuchi to the north and south, and one or two more truckloads of salt in the cargo are not very eye-catching. It's just that businessmen make heavy profits, and if someone buys news at a high price, I'm afraid that the matter won't be hidden for long. ”

Tan Zhaoyu whispered "um", "I didn't expect to hide it for long." It's just that before the salt well is scaled, to avoid irrelevant people to stir up the situation. I also hope that everyone will know about our salt wells in the future. In this way, other caravans that do not pass through Qiu Chi will all turn away from Qiu Chi because we have salt. Even if the other countries are red-eyed, they are no longer afraid. ”

Qin Zhongzhi didn't think that Invite Yu was talking wildly, he smiled and said, "That's right." Today, the walls of the three counties have been rebuilt and reinforced. Unless the Northern Wei forces are attacked, the other countries in the north can only watch with their eyes gluttonous. As for Liu Song, I'm afraid he can't look down on us as a small salt well. ”

Speaking of the Northern Wei Dynasty, Ying Yu was curious: "How is the war between the Northern Wei Dynasty and Great Xia?" I've been on the road for the past few days, and I don't have time to pay attention to the war. ”

Qin Zhongzhi said: "It's still the same." Since the last time our grain and grass were sent to the Great Wei army, Tuoba Tao led a team of men and horses to help Xi Jin. It's a pity that Xi Jin couldn't hold out until that time, and he couldn't withstand Helianding's offensive. After losing twice in a row, he could only keep retreating. ”

Qin Zhongzhi stroked his goatee, "However, as soon as Helian Ding heard that Tuoba Tao had brought supplies, grain and grass, he began to gather his army and retreat westward, and finally retreated to Shangqi." Now Fufeng has really become an outpost of the confrontation between the Wei army and the Xia army. That princess Helian was also valued by Tuoba Tao because of this. You know...... Has she already been crowned queen? ”

Qin Zhongzhi's tone was obviously tentative, and he considered the wording, for fear of stimulating Tan Zhaoyu for a while.

Tan Yuyu was indeed a little surprised, but he was just surprised by the identity of the new queen.

"He erected Helenke? But the woman was stunningly beautiful. I couldn't help but look at it twice. But I always thought that he would choose a Xianbei clan girl. I can help him consolidate his imperial power. ”

Qin Zhongzhi said cautiously: "A certain guess, this is probably because Helian Ke has no foundation. In the future, Tuoba Tao wants to marry a woman again...... Ah, no, when you marry a new queen, you can get rid of the current Queen Helian without any worries. ”

Tan Invite Yu doesn't care about the truth or falsity of this speculation, Tuoba Tao's current behavior is more like a child who hasn't eaten grapes, willfully feeling that grapes should be sweet, and trying to climb to the shelf to eat. His preference for himself is more out of fantasies before he gets it.

Tan Yingyu once really imagined that if she and Tuoba Tao got together, she would definitely not be able to stand Tuoba Tao's ambition to dominate. And Tuoba Tao will also be annoyed and angry because Tan Invite Yu can't be attached to him willingly.

Invite Yu glanced at Qin Zhongzhi, "There's no need to be trembling like this. I'm not a duplicitous person. said that he had no intention of his throne, and naturally he would not care who he made the queen. Instead of worrying about whether I will eat this flying vinegar, it is better to quickly prepare for the auction. As soon as this matter is over, the day is almost up, and we will rush to the Xingshi Building to prepare for the election of the landlord. ”

Qin Zhongzhi hurriedly said: "The things for the auction are almost arranged. According to the girl's request, all those who intend to participate in the auction have first pledged 100,000 taels of silver as a base, so as not to let some small clans also come to fish in troubled waters. ”

Invite Yu nodded, "How many are there in the end?" But have you found out the details? ”

Qin Zhongzhi turned around and took a bamboo slip from the desk and handed it to Invite Yu: "Needless to say, the Northern Wei Dynasty and the Southern Song Dynasty, in addition to the northern countries, Northern Liang and Western Qin are also listed, although the Xia Dynasty also sent a silver deposit, but it doesn't look like it's going to shoot the jade seal, but it's more like taking this opportunity to pull an alliance." ”
