Qin Mingyue took a sip of tea and continued: "With the medicine for a beautiful face, plus the fact that I gave her a few grandmothers who specially trained her and taught her charm, she and Huaichun have the temperament and look even more beautiful than when they were young. has become a peerless beauty, although it is not as good as Su Liuli back then, but this attracts men, especially between the bed, it is already too much better than Su Liuli. Such a peerless stunner, how can it not attract the hearts of big businessmen? ”

"With beauty as a weapon, Qin Mingzhu still has one shortcoming, that is, IQ. She's just so stupid. How else any good concubine can defeat her? That's not a problem for me either. I found a few old ladies who were born in the palace for her, but they are much stronger than those in the big business. also prepared a few staff members for her, and with these staff members to give her advice, she can deal with the nobles of the big merchants, win over, attack, divide, and finally gain a firm foothold in the big merchants. ”

"In addition to beauty and wisdom, I also provided her with a large amount of money, not all at once, but every six months in the future, we will have people send a large number of medicinal herbs, antiques, silks, gold and silver utensils, and all kinds of jewelry to the great merchants. With the support of these financial resources, Qin Mingzhu, the lady of Mixiang, can gradually establish her own power in Dashang, influence the political situation of Dashang, and make Dashang never participate in our war. ”

"At the beginning, I promised them two masters and servants, and after the war between Great Zhou and Great Xia ended, if the great merchants were dragged and did not participate in the war, then the two of them would be considered meritorious. You can choose to return to Da Zhou, or you can choose to stay in Da Shang. If I go back to Da Zhou, I will give Qin Mingzhu a share of Pillow Xia Island, which is a profit of five or six hundred thousand taels of silver a year, which is enough for her to be extravagant for a lifetime. Huaichun and I will also give her an inheritance of one million taels of silver, give her the identity of a widow of a Jiangnan family, let a Jiangnan family shelter her, she can raise a few children and be an old feudal monarch. ”

"If they leave the big merchants and continue to help us hold back the big merchants when we fight against Da Yu, then I will give Qin Mingzhu a hundred percent of the shares of Fenglan Island, so that Qin Mingzhu can have an income of more than one million taels every year, and he can be as luxurious as he wants. Huaichun, when the time comes, I can also give her an inheritance of two million taels of silver. They can live a better life. ”

"In addition to these, I also promised that when the time comes, I will hand over Niu Xian and his concubine to the two of them. This is a trivial matter, and when the time comes, the smart Niu family will not disobey my will. is just a second son, a good concubine who can't be on the stage, what can it be worth? ”

Dongqu nodded and said, "The National Teacher is thoughtful. ”

Qin Mingyue said: "I also hope that the eldest sister can do this well and have a good old age in the future." ”

Dongqu smiled and said, "Qiu Ge and I are both little maids who came out with Huaichun. The love of the year is still there. We also hope that Huaichun will have a good ending in the future. ”

Qin Mingyue said: "It will definitely be." Okay, let's not talk about that. Now you can show me the battle report from the northwest. ”

Dongqu put away his smile and hurriedly went over to get the battle report.

This is only a few months, and Xiao Rui's army has already won one victory after another, and now it has taken the three provinces of Great Xia.

Qin Mingyue began to bury her head in official business.

In the next few months, Qin Mingyue returned from Ba Province. When I arrived in the capital, I just rested for half a month, and then I began to set off for Jin Province again. On the border of Jin Province, she secretly met with one of Dayu's ministers, gave each other a lot of gifts, and reached an agreement that Dayu would not interfere in the war between Daxia and Dazhou this time.

After doing this, when Qin Mingyue returned to the capital, it was already autumn.

Qin Mingyue didn't care about resting, she directly took her people to the front line of Great Zhou and Great Xia. This time, she didn't bring Luo'er and Lord Anfu. After all, the front line is too dangerous.

Qin Mingyue hurried along the way, but while she was in a hurry, she didn't forget that every time she went to a big city, she would release the image of the Xuangui Jade Plate to promote it.

In this way, before the winter came, Qin Mingyue rushed to the front line of the Great Zhou and Great Xia battles.

Qin Mingyue met the generalissimo Xiao Rui, who commanded the battle, and when the two husbands and wives met, they naturally wanted to say goodbye.

The next day, Qin Mingyue participated in Xiao Rui's military meeting and handled official business with Xiao Rui.

In the evening, after being busy, Qin Mingyue and Xiao Rui drank tea after dinner, and in the tent, a brazier was lit, which could resist the severe cold in the northwest a little.

Qin Mingyue asked, "Xiao Rui, there will be another big battle soon." This time, if we win, we can take two more provinces of Great Xia, and in that case, we will only be one province away from the royal capital of Great Xia. Will there still be no movement in the witch gate? ”

Xiao Rui said: "I have captured some of the noble captives of Great Xia, and they have people who know that the Wumen has been tragically destroyed and cannot fight for long distances, so the Wumen is preparing to attack us near the royal capital of Great Xia." I have already discussed it with Senior Brother, and when the time comes, he will come forward again. ”

Qin Mingyue nodded.

At this time, as soon as the Xuan Turtle Jade Plate moved, the huge figure of the Xuan Turtle came out and said: "Xiao Rui, I have already calculated, this time the big battle, your Great Zhou side will definitely win." This time, you have taken down two more provinces, and at least two or three million people will be taken prisoner. In the past, your captives were sent to overseas islands such as Pillow Kasumi Island and Kazelan Island. Can it be sent directly to the Jade Plate World now? There was still some money left over from this to send the captives. ”

That's a good idea. Xiao Rui and Qin Mingyue's eyes lit up. Qin Mingyue said, "Lord Xuangui, you have a good idea. It's just that these people of Great Xia, army prisoners and the like, they are not from our Great Zhou after all, and there are some problems with their loyalty, if they go to the Jade Plate World, will they make trouble? ”

The turtle sighed and said, "You don't know what happened back then. In fact, the people of the Three Kingdoms of Wumen are also the people of the Central Plains, but thousands of years ago, Daomen and Wumen competed, and in the end, Wumen failed, and the people of Wumen took a large number of people who believed in Wumen and migrated to the place of the current Three Kingdoms. In fact, the Dangxiang, Qiang, Tubo, Shanjung, Inurong, Uighur and many other ethnic groups living in the Three Kingdoms were defeated and subdued or driven farther west by the people of the Wumen Three Kingdoms. ”

"Therefore, ethnically speaking, in fact, the race of the Three Kingdoms of Wumen is the same as that of the Great Zhou. It's just that thousands of years have passed, and everyone's living habits are still affected by the local water and soil, customs, dressing, and rules are a little different. ”

It turned out that this was the case, Qin Mingyue showed a natural expression, as if she had seen it in the classics, it was indeed like this.
