"Hmph, that fire ceremony is too greedy, and it has invaded auspiciousness twice in three years, and now it is really self-inflicted on itself that he has been captured and killed. The auspicious move is one for revenge, the second is for demonstration, and the third is to expand the living space. Gao Jin analyzed.

"Demonstrate, to whom, isn't it lonely?" said the eldest prince with some amusement.

"During the Second War of Jichi, there were many territories eyeing the tiger, and auspiciousness was just killing chickens and monkeys, killing two birds with one stone. Gao Jindao.

"Then how to determine that auspiciousness will be reversed, is it only because of the second brother? If they really want to rebel, they don't have the strength now. ”

Zhao Shengrui did not have a good impression of Jixiang, and his energy was focused on the construction of the defense line against Hu Yue in the north, the second was on pacifying the civil strife in the three territories west of the North Xingyao River, and the third was on persuading the Chen clan and the Donghe territory to surrender.

Now that Jixiang has annexed Chiyan, the population is only more than a million, and there are not thirty but twenty in a territory like this in Great Xia, and it is true that he does not feel a real threat.

Moreover, a qualified lord should be a qualified politician, and he should understand that Wang can tolerate Jixiang's revenge on Chiyan, but he can't tolerate Jixiang's repeated expansion, so Zhao Shengrui hesitated whether to eradicate Wang's son in advance.

"The prince of the Wang family is willing to hide the second royal highness in the mansion, if he has no objection, I am afraid that it will be difficult for the people of the world to agree!" Gao Jin said.

When it comes to Zhao Yuxin, Zhao Shengrui will be easily irritable, he is really afraid that Wang Xuan will support Zhao Yuxin as the new king and fight against him in the north and south, so that even if he is the ultimate victor, the title of 'the first monarch of the Great Xia Dynasty' is also flawed, which is a pain he can't bear.

After the failure of the people in the upper wave, he followed Gao Jin's advice and cut off this path, worried that he would be taken by the mascot to his own disadvantage, but now he is like a fish in his throat, unable to swallow and spit out.

"Even if you have to deal with the auspicious leader, it may be difficult to convince the public with a single fire ceremony. ”

"That's true, not to mention that you haven't ascended the throne yet, if you retreat and retreat, it's really difficult. Gao Jindao.

"What if you wait for the world to return to your heart, and then pull out this cancer?"

"No, we must not let Jixiang grow bigger, in just two years, we can scrap the invincible Red Flame, who can predict what kind of behemoth Jixiang will grow into in another two years! Gao Jin sighed, Xiao Jixiang was able to jump into such a situation, which really impressed him.

"I can't fight and I can't fight, I can't drag it out, so what should I do?" Zhao Shengrui was a little irritable.

Gao Jin is also thinking about countermeasures, to say that the eldest prince will ascend the throne as soon as possible, and it is most appropriate to force the prince to go to the royal capital to congratulate him, and he can kill or stay.

"First of all, part of the army from the Silver Pine Collar was mixed with the Crystal Collar army, and it was spread along the boundary line between Shui and Chi to prevent the auspicious people from expanding westward, and the leaders of the Dalong Plain were also ordered to transfer troops to the border of Chen Bing Chiyan to prevent Jixiang from advancing northward. In this way, Jixiang had to shrink on the side of Dongshan and couldn't move. ”

When Zhao Shengrui heard it, although it was a defensive measure that harmed his dignity, it could also prevent the expansion of the mascot, and it was also a conservative method, and he also recognized it.

At this time, Wang Du did not know that the northern part of Chiyan was already autonomous.

"In addition, I heard that the three daughters of the Wang family are all beautiful, which can be called the moon and the moon, the country and the city, the eldest daughter has married at the beginning of the year, but these two daughters are still single!" Gao Jin suggested.

When Zhao Shengrui heard the second daughter of the Wang family, he immediately perked up, and pretended not to care: "The eldest daughter is married, it doesn't mean that the second daughter is still single, this marriage robbery is shameful." ”

As soon as Gao Jin heard it, he already understood the eldest prince's intentions, "This is also a test to test whether the prince has a rebellious heart, if he agrees to marry the second daughter into the royal capital, the two families are good for Qin and Jin, if he doesn't agree......"

I didn't say what would happen if I didn't agree, but the meaning of the words was very clear.

"In this way, it will bother Mr. Gao. Zhao Shengrui gave a salute to Gao Jin, which is not common.

Although he is not a lustful person, if he can really make this happen, who can refuse it? To put it bluntly, this is also a good thing to kill two birds with one stone.

A few days later, the news that Jixiang counterattacked Chiyan and slaughtered the fire ceremony was already well known in the aristocratic circle, and the Zhang and Liu clans' territories suddenly strengthened their defenses, because there were seven hundred auspicious soldiers stationed on the Chen border.

The war between the sun, the setting sun and the West River also stopped, and it is unknown whether it was to borrow the slope and wait for mediation, or whether it was a temporary truce and repair, but Xishan Ling was the happiest.

After nearly three months of playing, Sun's gained a lot of weight, and he finally returned to Xishan in early March.

"Have you had fun in the past few months?" asked Wang Xuan with a smile.

"Oh, this auspiciousness is good, or brother, you have the ability, when will you give us Xishan guidance." Sun sat on the chair and could no longer see the outline of the chair, wiping the sweat from his forehead from time to time.

"Your Minister of State is very good, not only the territory is well organized, but even our people take care of everything, if my brother cuts love, he will put forward a condition, let him come to Jixiang to help me. Wang Xuan's fingers tapped on the table, and he said "unintentionally".

"Haha, I've drunk the wine from my brother's cellar in the past few days, but the aftertaste is endless, and it's hard to drink it again this time. ”

The old boy quickly changed the topic, looking at it left and right, it didn't seem as harmless as it seemed, and it was like a mirror in his heart.

"Okay, I'll pack a few boxes for you and take them back, and I'll send them to you when I'm gone. Wang Xuan also stopped mentioning the matter.

"Oh, I'm so sorry, my brother can't take advantage of you in vain, in this way, there is a mineral deposit near the northern border of Xishan Ling, the color is whitish, some red, there are holes, my brother can send someone to investigate, if it is useful, I will exchange it for your wine money." ”

What Sun said was quite generous, but no one knew what kind of mineral deposit it was and how much it was worth.

"The non-ferrous metal smelter you built in Hedong is really energetic, and all the people in it are treasures, brother, you can't forget your brother if you research any good things. "It's good that Sun doesn't smile, this mouth is cracked, like a haba.

"A family doesn't talk to two families, but they share blessings and hardships. Wang Xuan said it very directly.

"Hehe, let's rest assured if we have the words of my brother, the bridge that Jixiang built for Xishan is good, the sports car above and the boat below, this!" Sun gave Wang Xuan a thumbs up, and there was a sound in his mouth, "It's a pity that we don't have many ships, and we don't have the technology to build inland river transport ships, so I'm in a hurry." ”

Wang Xuanle was happy, he used to think that this old boy was greedy for pleasure, so he didn't leave because of auspiciousness, but it turned out that he came from his own family.

"Well, there are two shipyards in Jixiang, I guess my brother knows it, and he will talk directly with that one if he likes it, and we will not interfere with normal business practices. Wang Xuandao.

"Righteous enough, let's thank you first. Sun gave Wang Xuan a thumbs up again, I don't know where this old boy learned, Wang Xuan remembered that he only gave Zhao Yuxin a comparison, could it be that the kid passed it on?

"Brother, you are generous, brother, I am not hypocritical, you see how this is, there is not a piece of land in the east of Hubei Military Port, just give it to my brother, build a pedestrian street there is no worse than the east of the river, the south is close to the West River, and there will be frequent exchanges in the future. "Sun's serious nonsense.

The bridge on the West River is auspiciously built, the business center next door is auspiciously built, and the first-class avenue leading to the lord's mansion to the northeast is also auspiciously built.

"Hehe, I understand my brother's mind, now the auspicious stall is a little big, where is there still manpower and material resources to build another pedestrian street, let's talk about it later. ”

Wang Xuan refused, Wang Du's attitude is unknown, if there is a change, these will be lost, it is better to tighten up at this time.

Sun was anxious, "Don't, I'll provide the manpower, I don't want you to pay a penny." The land of the pedestrian street is yours, and we will not take advantage of you at all. ”

"This is really limited energy, and there are not so many technical personnel to coordinate and command. Wang Xuan's face was embarrassed.

"Xishan supports 10,000 young and strong laborers, you can just eat, live, and see a doctor, I understand your style of doing things, we will pay the salary, for a year, and the loss is one hundred. ”

After Sun finished speaking, he stared at Wang Xuan, for fear that Wang Xuan would refuse again.

Wang Xuan doesn't care about money and food, but the loss of one hundred is terrible, 10,000 people are allowed to have 100 dead and injured, this grandson is really generous.

"Hey, brother, why do you bother, you love your brother so much, it's really, hey...... That's it, if I refuse again, I will really be shameless and skinless, next year, at the latest next year at the latest, do you think it's okay, brother?" Wang Xuan's face was 'embarrassed', full of 'I did this to repay your favor'.

"That's right, brother, thank you, let's leave tomorrow, time is pressing, I won't bother you, a lot of things have to be bought, farewell, farewell." ”

As he spoke, Sun Fatzi got up with difficulty, arched his hand towards Wang Xuan, and left the lord's mansion after saying 'stay'.

Wang Xuan looked at the fat body, worked hard into the carriage and returned to the study, 10,000 people to eat, drink, and sleep is not simple, where to use it is even more knowledgeable, so he had to find the cabinet of five people, after some discussion, and finally arranged it to be cut by the Xingyao River in the south.

The south side of the Xingyao River is a primeval forest, the road has been paved to the vicinity, if the trees and weeds are not cleared, not to mention the delay in the progress of road construction, everyone can not afford to lose a single hand, don't do anything, deal with fierce beasts and poisonous insects all day long.

Sun Fatzi's efficiency was good, and the first batch of 200 people arrived at Jixiangling ten days later, and then arrived with the number of 500 people per day, and the Guo family's shipping made a small profit.

The hundreds of people who were convicted of that incident at the end of 55 were also sent to the south to cut wood, and now there are about 200 people left, and their vitality is not ordinary tenacity.

After the Xishan people arrived one after another, the Ministry of Agriculture sent officials to form a logging team, and commanded everyone to start cleaning up the trees and shrubs by the river, and the more than 200 people were responsible for driving away fierce beasts and poisonous insects, and were responsible for guarding the bonfire vigil at night.

The precious timber and medicinal herbs that could not be cut down were preserved, those that could be transplanted were also transplanted, and the remaining trees were booked by the Liuyin River Shipyard, which were all excellent shipbuilding materials, and the price was not high, and both the Ministry of Agriculture and the shipyard were very satisfied.

On March 15, a letter from Wang Du made Wang Xuan disgusted for a long time, and Zhao Shengrui wanted to accept his second sister Wang Yue as a concubine!
