Xiao Rui nodded and said, "If nothing else, I should be able to transfer some soldiers and horses." Dashang should have no time to take care of it now, but once the new Dazan takes the position. In order to show his strength, the new Dazan will also take this opportunity to send troops to Ba Province. It is likely that 100,000 soldiers and horses will come to us. Where can we have only 350,000 soldiers and horses? ”

Qin Mingyue shook the fan on the side, thinking in her heart, in her previous life, there was no such war. That's right. In his previous life, he didn't come to Ba Province, and he didn't have that assassination, so the Shui family was naturally safe and sound. There was no excuse for the big merchants to send troops.

However, for the war she caused, Qin Mingyue did not regret it at all. Not to mention anything else, this formation in Ba Province, from the current indications, it is likely that the Shui family colluded with a part of the Yun family and secretly brought the people from the Great Shang Wumen over and arranged it.

Thinking of the power of the various divisions of the Twelve Heavens Great Array. Some directly endanger the emperor's heirs, and some directly harm the people. Such a criminal thing, even if the big merchants don't send troops, Qin Mingyue wants to seek justice. No one can hurt the people of Da Zhou, and they are still at large.

After listening to Xiao Rui's words, he thought that it would not be long before 100,000 soldiers and horses would come to Ba Province, and the expressions of Governor Wang and Li Tingshi became solemn.

The two of them looked at Qin Mingyue in unison. However, seeing Qin Mingyue combing a simple bun on her head, swaying with red gold and jade, wearing a casual dress with Nasha Tuanhua, like an ordinary aristocratic girl, shaking a fan, and drinking tea without expression, they didn't know what was going on, and suddenly their hearts calmed down.

After seeing Qin Mingyue's miracles, how could the two of them still not believe in Qin Mingyue's divination ability? If this battle is dangerous, then Qin Mingyue can still be so good at tidying up?

Xiao Rui said: "Although I expect that the big merchants will not have time to take care of him in the short term, you can't take it lightly. First of all, we must prepare the grain and grass. Don't let me bring men and horses with me, and there will be no food or grass. This matter will be handed over to Governor Wang. Come to think of it, do you still have some family backgrounds in Pakistan? ”

Wang Meiren said with a bitter face: "Although Ba Province is a remote province, there is still a little family fund. However, these are not enough for an army of 100,000 to eat and drink. ”

Xiao Rui waved his hand and said: "Go back, I will gather the gentry of Ba Province and ask them to give out some grain and grass on credit first, and the rest of the seven great families had better be generous, and when I come back from the capital, I will naturally bring real money to everyone." In this way, the grain accumulated in Ba Province was also bought and exchanged for silver, isn't it? The transportation in Ba Province is not convenient, although the wind and rain have been smooth in the past few years, and the grain has not been harvested, but it is difficult for everyone's grain to be transported out, and it is impossible to make money, so it is better to sell it to our army, just exchange it for gold and silver for them, so that they can buy what they want. ”

"In this way, there is less grain and grass in the inventory of Ba Province, and there is more silver in the market. Is the market still booming? The market is booming, but how much can the province pay taxes? So, there is nothing to fight a war. On the contrary, you can get some benefits from it. ”

Li Baichuan glanced at Wang Meiren and said: "When the army advances, some roads will definitely be built, and the supply of grain and grass will also be repaired." The roads in Pakistan are not good, if you get a few good roads, or take this opportunity to clean up the river, is it not a good thing? ”

Wang Meiren smiled bitterly and said: "I also understand these truths, but once there is a war, it is not the people of Ba Province who die?" ”

Xiao Rui's face turned cold: "If you fight, you will definitely die." But is it not their own problem that the people of Ba Province have suffered such a thing? I have been in the Great Zhou Dynasty for 200 years, and I have always preached that Taoism is the state religion. Wumen is a cult, and the laws of the Great Zhou Dynasty clearly write that anyone who believes in Wumen is a crime and must be punished. The other provinces are abiding by it well. Why is it that Ba Province blatantly believes in witchcraft? ”

"There is even a family like the Shui family, which has dominated Ba Province for hundreds of years and has always regarded itself as a lackey of Wumen? Shouldn't this be a lesson? ”

"Is this still the land of my Great Zhou? Is it still a king here? ”

Wang Meiren opened her mouth and said nothing.

Qin Mingyue on the side made a voice at this time: "Okay, come to think of it, these Wang Governors will figure it out." The question now is not whether we want to go to war or not. The question now is that even if we don't want to fight, will Da Zhou regress? Can the water family bow their heads? It's been almost a month since the incident, did the Shui family admit their mistake? ”

Wang Meiren did not say anything. Li Baichuan said in a deep voice: "Scholars are like this, always thinking about retreat, don't think about it, what does it mean to retreat?" It is always said that you want to move people with virtue, can people be moved by virtue? It's been almost a thousand years, Daxia, Dashang, Dayu, which year didn't they all come to deduct the edge? ”

Wang Meiren glanced at Li Baichuan and had nothing to say.

Qin Mingyue said: "What Li Tingshi said is very right. Well, that's it. By the way, Governor Wang, I heard that the Taoism of our Daomen has been carried out, what is the situation now? ”

Wang Meiren hurriedly said: "Back to Miss Mingyue, at present, four Daomen primary schools have been opened in Dujiang City, and there are already twelve Daomen primary schools in the cities and villages outside Dujiang City. Originally, there weren't many people who went to school. Later, it was said that it was advocated by Miss Mingyue, and in addition, the Bai family forced the people of the Baifeng clan to go to Daomen Primary School, so, slowly, more and more people went to school, and later, there was even a matter of several people competing for a degree. There is no way, the government and the Bai family work together to assure the people that more and more Daomen primary schools will be built, and everyone can have them, so that it can be solved. ”

Qin Mingyue smiled and said, "Well, it's good." The upstream of Dujiang City was rebuilt with a dam, as well as the construction of a wharf, and how about the construction of flower beds? ”

Wang Meiren hurriedly said: "This progress is very fast, with the full support of the government and the Bai family, the big gentry in Dujiang City are also enthusiastically supporting, and the guidance of the master sent by the Star Picking Tower, it is now half completed." It will take about another month to complete it all. However, the upstream embankment will still take a little longer, and it is estimated that it will take another two months. ”

Qin Mingyue counted the time and said, "Well, that's right, this can basically complete the project before the big war." ”

Wang Meiren nodded hurriedly. Qin Mingyue and Xiao Rui then asked a lot more about the situation. Among them, Xiao Ruiduo asked about the reaction of other families in Ba Province.

The other families in the province have basically maintained a neutral attitude. Because these families don't have much contact with the Shui family, their territories are not connected, and they don't move around much on weekdays, so there is basically no marriage. However, the Bai family, the Yun family, and the Gu family are very active, because they can get a territory.

Qin Mingyue couldn't help but think, it was still the wealth that moved people's hearts.
