Section 91 Alarm
readx;
And the trouble brought to Wufeng is not only this, after seeing the benefits brought to the Northwest after being engaged to Princess Anne, the important members in the Northwest Political Axe System hit the idea of Haritina, the daughter of the King of Loulan and known as the Pearl of Loulan. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info In their opinion, since the marriage with Princess Anne can close the relationship between the two parties, then the Western Regions can do the same, a marriage can solve the relationship between the Western Regions and the Northwest Central that has plagued the Northwest for a long time, even if that Haritsyna looks like a saltless mother-in-law, as the lord of Wufeng, should also take into account the overall situation, not to mention that this Haritina was born with the beauty of the country and is known as the Mulan of the Western Regions, such a beautiful thing is naturally the best.
This marriage was highly praised by political officials such as Su Qin and Wang Zongxi, as well as Cui Wenxiu and Hu Yanqiu of the military, and Halichena's brother, the prince of Loulan, Khalid, who was studying at Northwest University, fully supported this marriage, and in his eyes this marriage can improve the embarrassing position of the current Loulan Kingdom in the Western Regions and in the eyes of the Northwest, and may even make the Loulan Kingdom, which has been somewhat faded, regain its former glory.
It's just that although Wu Feng is a little tempted by Haritina's beauty, he didn't think about including her as a concubine candidate at all, a princess Anne has already given him a headache, if he adds such a Mulan from the Western Regions who wants to put himself and death at any time, then wouldn't his personal private life be immersed in deep trouble? So he resolutely rejected everyone's proposal, but the stubborn subordinates didn't seem to plan to stop there, and still persistent in lobbying their lord through various means, which made Wu Feng very annoyed.
Seeing that it was a little cold for his own reasons, Wu Feng was also secretly thinking about how to resolve this deadlock, he didn't want such a meeting to end in this kind of scene.
"Yutang, I want you to go to Yanjing for me, I don't know if you are willing?" Creating suspense to resolve embarrassing situations has always made Wu Feng's good tricks, especially according to the other party's preferences and concerns, so that the mystery can often receive miraculous results, and this time is no exception.
"Oh?" Situ Yutang's unhappy mood was immediately driven away by the other party's sudden request, and his attention suddenly focused on the question raised by the other party, "Go to Yanjing, what's the important thing?"
"In view of the current rise in grain prices in Yanjing, and the phenomenon of food shortage in Yanjing, His Majesty the Emperor has issued an edict asking Guanxi and Northwest China to provide grain to ensure that the people of Yanjing have sufficient food supply. However, the amount of grain that His Majesty the Emperor requested was too large, and the price was too low, and the imperial decree on the establishment of the Western Xinjiang Protectorate had not been issued. "No Blade said slowly.
It is no secret that the empire and even the eastern continent have suffered a large-scale disaster, the grain harvest has failed, and there has been a food shortage in the entire empire, although the grain prices in the northwest and Kansai have also risen sharply, but at least there can be food supply in the two places, and some other areas of the empire have no market, due to the fear that the drought will continue to spread, many grain merchants will hoard grain, and the administrative measures taken by the imperial center to stabilize grain prices have not played much role in the grain merchants who have strong backers behind them, and the large sale of the empire's strategic reserve grain at the beginning of the year also made Situ Lang regret beating his chest, but the matter has come to this, if there is no countermeasure, the hearts of the people of Yanjing will fluctuate, and most of the soldiers under his command came from Yanjing City and the surrounding areas, just afraid that it would endanger his rule, Situ Lang had to seek assistance, and the northwest and Kansai naturally became the best emergency targets.
Of course, Situ Yutang knew about Wufeng's grain speculation at the beginning of the year, and at that time she even despised Wufeng's baseless speculation, thinking that the other party was gambling with the already insufficient finances, and she also roughly knew that the northwest had obtained a sum of money from Inde'an, but she didn't think that this could be speculative gambling like some vulgar nouveau riche showing off, but later the facts made her have to admit that her fiancé's luck was too good, and even this kind of speculation could succeed.
But she did not expect that the losers in this gambling and speculative war actually included her brother, His Majesty the Emperor of the Empire, who had lost a large amount of strategic reserves, had to bow his head and ask for the assistance of his vassals. He hoped to be able to buy back the grain at a slightly higher price than the original price that it had been sold to the northwest, which of course was not acceptable to Wufeng, who was now three times the original price, and even if Wufeng could make some concessions, it was impossible for him to be so generous.
"What are your plans?" After a pause, Situ Yutang finally asked.
"Your brother wants to buy it at the price of ten gold coins per quintal, and now the market price in Kansai is sixteen gold coins per quintal, but I have explicitly prohibited the outflow of grain, and the price of grain in Yanjing should be above twenty gold coins per quintal, and I think that at least the price should be the same as the price in Kansai, so that I can have an explanation below. The grain merchants of Kansai and the Northwestern region have already lodged with the Legal Affairs Department through the Chamber of Commerce, arguing that the temporary decree prohibiting the export of grain violates the norms of freedom of commercial circulation and are demanding that it be repealed. If I sell my grain cheaply now, I will be condemned from all sides. Seeing that the other party's mood had eased, Wu Feng deliberately approached the other party, grabbed the other party's willow waist casually, and strolled forward.
Stiffened, Situ Yutang still didn't push away the other party's big hand after all, but just like Shanfa's infinitely hot palm pressed on the waist of only one layer of silk clothes, it gave Situ Yutang an indescribable subtle feeling at this time, with the movement of his footsteps and the friction of his body, the feeling of crispness and numbness seemed to spread from his waist to his whole body, which even affected her thinking and judgment.
"Wufeng, don't you have the concept of the center of the empire in your heart anymore? I am the daughter of the Situ family, and I am also your rightful fiancée, and my brother is also thinking about the people of Yanjing, do you have to deal with my brother for these few gold coins?" Situ Yutang lowered his head slightly, and asked with some sentimentality.
Situ Yutang's words made Wufeng unable to find the right words to deal with for a while, if he said that he didn't care about the gold coin, then he could only return this batch of grain to Situ Lang at parity, if he said that he cared, it would hurt the relationship between the two of them, and he hesitated for a moment before replying: "Yutang, if you really think that I return this batch of grain to your brother at a low price, it is to preserve the affection between the two of us, then I have no objection." I also know that Situ Yuan and Situ Lang have a good relationship with you, but I can tell you clearly, I am afraid that even if your two brothers receive the support of my batch of food, it will be difficult to maintain them for a long time, and it is not a good thing to threaten them for a longer time. It's just that this is your Situ family's housework, and I don't want to talk too much about it. ”
As if he heard something in his fiancé's words, Situ Yutang raised his beautiful Danfeng eyes and asked suspiciously, "Wufeng, what do you mean by this?"
"Yutang, the situation has changed, you can't indulge in the glory of the empire, you can probably see a little bit of the current situation, His Majesty the Emperor's rule is now limited to a corner of Yanjing, although on the surface there are still four or five hundred thousand troops in hand, but how many of the four or five hundred thousand troops are capable of fighting tough battles? And according to my observation, the Praetorian Guard Legion is only afraid and may not be really controlled in the hands of His Majesty. As for His Royal Highness the King of Chu, who is more closely related to you, with all due respect, if the Milanese do not send troops to help him, I am afraid that within three months he will become a prisoner of His Highness. Even with the help of the Milanese, the victory or defeat is also in the number of five or five, and it is more likely that the surname will plunge the prosperous Jiangnan into a war, but it is a pity that the essence of the empire for hundreds of years is concentrated in Jiangnan, if it is destroyed in vain, it is really an irreparable huge loss for our Tang people. Wu Feng turned around, grabbed the other party's slender hand with both hands, and stared at the other party's beautiful face with a pair of deep eyes.
A touch of horror swept across Situ Yutang's cheeks, and she seemed to hear the hidden meaning in Wufeng: "Wufeng, do you mean that my seventh brother and ninth brother will be in danger?"
"There may not be much danger to their personal safety, but if they want to maintain their current power, they are afraid that it is very likely. I know that you have always disliked your eldest brother, but the strength of your eldest brother is indeed not something that your seventh brother and ninth brother can compete with, and no army in the empire can resist the combat effectiveness of the first and second legions, and it is only a matter of time before Jiangnan falls, and once Jiangnan falls, His Majesty the Emperor does not have the financial support of Jiangnan, so how can he maintain his rule? The Wuhu region is actually already the world of your sixth brother Situ Biao, and Situ Jun is also a grasshopper after the autumn will not be able to reach it for a few days. But the war within our Tang people continues like this, it will only give outsiders an opportunity to take advantage of, the longer the civil war is fought, the more tragic it becomes, the happier the foreigners around us will be, I hope you can occupy the height of the entire Tang people to look at the problem, don't be like your thirteenth sister who claims to be a superman of wisdom, I think her knowledge is very short-sighted. Wu Feng's voice became a little low, but it was more convincing, and his gaze became extremely deep, looking at the east from afar, with a complex and indescribable look on his face.
