The main reason why she came to patrol Qilin Street was to see the merchants from all walks of life doing business here, and she remembered that this street was very lively before.

After the riots, there were significantly fewer merchants coming and going from the south to the north, and even though the city gates had been restored, there were still few merchants who came here to do business.

Xiaoxiao found Ji Junxian and Chen Fatzi who came here to inspect the teahouse next to Beishi, and she also let them enter the teahouse to repair the patrol team she led.

Approaching the beginning of spring, the weather is still a little freezing, as soon as I entered the third floor of the teahouse, I was like Ji Junxian and Chen Fatzi, holding a teacup to warm my hands.

"What, is there a caravan with grain?" asked the young man straight to the point.

From Ji Junxian's eyes and eyebrows, she knew that the answer was not very good, she was now pretending to be rich and arrogant, and she was arrogant and arrogant to eat and drink with mountains of gold and silver, but she was clear in her heart, she was walking a tightrope on the cliff, and Shang Jing's grain could last for a month, and it had been half a month, and if there was no food after half a month, the entire Shang Jing would be beaten back to its original shape, and if she didn't run away, she would die.

Seeing Ji Junxian start to shake the folding fan, she wanted to roll her eyes, is it sick to shake the fan on such a cold day? But she knew that Ji Junxian was about to start talking, and sure enough, the next moment, Ji Junxian said slowly: "We sent out dozens of teams to buy grain, and those who bought back grain were all from the northern vassal states, just two, and the number was not much, and it could not maintain the consumption of the entire Shangjing at all, and the other party's asking price was still expensive, we bought it back at a high price, and then sold it to the people at a low price, and we will eventually be unable to make ends meet." ”

Xiao Xiao was surprised: "Isn't it right that there should be more grain coming back from the south, the climate in the south is suitable, and it has always been the place where corn is planted the most, and there was a major disaster in the south last year?" This is completely different from what was conceived before Xiao Yao.

Chen Yuan said: "No, before coming to Shangjing last year, there was a bumper harvest in the south, and there were no less than twenty southern vassal states that made a wish on the Ceres Festival, which was held in my Chen country, and it was impossible for the south to be a disaster year last year." ”

"I didn't hear about the disaster in Dongzhou last year, but there was no news of my flying letter asking for food. This can only show one problem, not to sell grain is not because there is no grain, but because many parties have formed a tacit understanding, tightened the granary, and vowed to force Shangjing into a desperate situation. Ji Junxian added.

Xiao Xiao nodded in agreement with Ji Junxian's analysis, well, it's not all going well, but this is not one of her methods, so she asked again: "Then I asked you to show the weapons to the envoys of various countries, what did they say?"

Chen Yuan replied: "All countries are full of praise, but no vassal states are willing to buy it. ”

"Oh?" I didn't understand, and I was a little anxious, and I hurriedly asked, "Why?"

Chen Yuan said helplessly: "Xiqin has let it go, whichever country dares to buy it, it will start a war with that country." ”

Xi Qin's technology of casting weapons has always been ahead of other countries, and now her technology is higher than that of Xi Qin, not to mention blocking the financial path of Xi Qin, and it has also created a huge threat to Xi Qin, and no country can sit back and watch other countries' weapons be more advanced than their own.

"In this way, it's not that other vassal states don't want to buy it, but they don't dare to buy it, even if they dare to buy it, such as Eastern Zhou or Southern Chu, they don't want to come out of this. Xiao Xiao said firmly, and looked at Ji Junxian again, the latter just shook the folding fan and didn't talk, but a pair of dodgy eyes obviously told Xiao Xiao, don't look at him, don't ask him, although he is the son of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, he is now a proton, and he doesn't have that power.

At this time, Qin Ying came on horseback and told him the good news that Northern Qi was willing to exchange food for weapons.

I am not surprised, I am afraid that the situation in Shangjing City is already known to the king of Northern Qi, and Northern Qi and its allies will definitely support it, but the northern countries, let them take money, mines, and people, they have no problem, but grain, hehe, if they have more food, there will not be so many people who move south.

It is not practical to rely entirely on the north for food supply.

The big guys know all this.

Chen Yuan said: "Otherwise, let's run away now and hide back in our own country." ”

Xiao Xiao scolded with a smile: "It's okay, there are always more ways than difficulties." ”

"Since the countries are unwilling to negotiate peace, don't blame me for buying and selling, then we will change the way of negotiation, they don't sell us grain, they don't let us live, that is to force us to rob. ”

"Robbing?" Ji Junxian's eyes suddenly rounded, "What are you going to rob?" Just the army composed of these homeless people in our hands, not to mention only 100,000 people, is 200,000 people, and this rabble will also give away people's heads. ”

Xiao Xiao said unhurriedly: "Mobilize the population migration of the entire Shangjing City, how many people are there? Almost a million, all the materials are taken away, where to grab it, think about that scene, like locusts crossing the border, just ask which country can withstand it?"

A few words scared Chen Yuan The teacup in his hand fell, Ji Junxian felt that the words were too scary, and the fan didn't shake anymore, so he stared at the child, how did this kid think of it, this idea seems to be fanciful, but it is not unrealizable.

Qin Ying clapped his hands and applauded, "Are we going to travel?

Xiao Yao touched Qin Ying's head, nodded and smiled: "It's not a trip, or it's going out to grab land, Qin Ying, where do you say we have something to eat?"

Qin Ying blinked, thought about it very seriously and said: "Grab Xiqin, there is the Qinchuan Plain in Xiqin, it is really a thousand miles of fertile wilderness, the people don't say that the grain is in Xiqin, let's go to Xiqin." ”

"Okay, let's go to Xiqin. He got up and led the team back to the camp.

Later, Ji Junxian reacted before yelling at the back of the departing figure: "Okay, what's good, you really listen to the words of a fool?"

Chen Yuan retracted his frightened mood and persuaded: "Just say that, do you still take it seriously? Who would listen to his scary nonsense? He doesn't have the right to want so many people to migrate." ”

And as it turned out, she really did.

The next morning, the puppet emperor who had appeared once on the enthronement ceremony came to the Linyuan Hall again.

The officials were escorted to the court early, deliberately late, and entered the court with a vigorous momentum in front of everyone's eyes with the steps of the six relatives who did not recognize them.

In front of the throne, she stopped and turned around, and the dark court clothes and the crown above her head drew a sassy arc.

Sitting, the jade steps down the mountain and shouting long live sounded.

Xiao Xiao praised herself a little narcissistically in her heart, she looked at the crown beads that were still shaking in front of her, and waited for the twelve bead threads to be completely motionless, and then she said: "Get up!"

On the side, Zhao Ping almost flashed his old waist when he heard this, this is called a flat body, what should you get up.

But when he thought of reading out the holy decree of the entire Shangjing population for a while, Zhao Ping felt that the little emperor didn't need to make too much of a fuss about this.

The ministers got up and gave Zhao Ping a look, Zhao Ping gritted his back molars, and then began to recite the holy decree.

After Zhao Ping finished reading, there were ministers below who fell to the ground and the whole city moved!

Xiao Xiao looked at a group of stunned ministers, for fear that they would not be scared to death, and added: "I have made up my mind, the countries have deceived me too much, I am not happy, no one should think about it! Then I don't talk about any martial virtues, the West Qin has the Qinchuan Plain, right, I will take people to rob it, I will build the imperial capital on the Qinchuan Plain, none of you should persuade me, whoever opens my mouth I will cut whom, I have already started to pave the road to the West Qin, and you will go home to clean up, and follow me to the west in the near future. ”
