Chapter 141: Something Went Wrong?
Half a month later, Jingguo retired.
Why did Jing Guo withdraw without a notice, and he withdrew silently. The Huya Army withdrew towards Jingcheng, and all kinds of military goods, grain and grass were no longer transported, and there were all kinds of signs that Jingguo would not fight with Cai Guo on the surface.
Li Yunxiang said lightly in the court, saying that Cai Guo compensated some silver taels, and his apology was more sincere. Considering that they are all vassal states of Southern Chu and are brothers and friends, this war will not be fought. Li Yunxiang did not say the specific amount of compensation, but the important ministers in the court knew that the news naturally spread inevitably.
How can such a thing be hidden?
In just a few days, the news spread throughout Nanchu, but it was all discussed in private and would not spread to the people. Cai Lu and Cai Guo suddenly became the objects of ridicule of the Southern Chu clan and the major vassal states, and they were casually frightened by Jing Guo, so they lost five billion taels of silver, Cai Lu was too cowardly, right?
The news of Cai Lu's loan from the Purple Dragon Palace did not spread, but many big clans and major vassal states knew about it. Cai Guo is so poor that the officials can't pay it, and the people in the country are not able to make a living, how can Cai Guo come up with five billion taels of silver, then he can only borrow it. The Southern Chu Dynasty did not give money here, and the major vassal states did not borrow, so Cai Guo could only borrow from the Purple Dragon Palace or other super powers.
Cai Guo is abolished!
This is a fact recognized by the major vassal states, and the Cai State has been in a state of collapse for at least ten years. If the Cai State is not handled well, there may be chaos, the foundation of the Cai family will be ruined, and it is not impossible to change the dynasty.
The officials on Jingguo's side are overjoyed, and Jingguo is also poor now. If it weren't for the last time Li Yunyi got some money from the major vassal states, it is estimated that many officials and the army would not be able to send out the money. Cai Guo gave five billion, although it is not a huge wealth, at least it can make Jingguo's treasury less embarrassed.
The money was delivered more than ten days later, and it was a check from the largest money bank in Southern Chu, which could be exchanged at any time. Not long after the money entered the treasury, Li Yunxiang approved a batch of silver, and directly spent one billion taels with a wave of his hand, and these billion taels were given to a yamen, Heilongtai.
With such a large expenditure, how could it be concealed from the ministers?
At that moment, a group of old ministers went to kneel outside King Jing's palace again, asking Li Yunxiang to take back his fate. Now that Cai Guo has fallen down, Jing Guo is currently not at war. Heilongtai is not much use for the time being, what is needed most now is to restore the people's livelihood, these five billion many officials have calculated how to use it, and now they go to a fifth in one go, or give Heilongtai a yamen, how can you let those officials agree?
Li Yunxiang once again embodied his tyrant temperament, and asked the Imperial Forest Army to throw those officials out directly, and if they quarreled again, they would be imprisoned. He also released a sentence that the money was earned by him, and he could use it however he wanted. Didn't you oppose war in the first place, and if you didn't go to war, would you make money?
Li Yunxiang's words made a group of ministers speechless, and they did not continue to advise. Li Yunxiang was completely unreasonable, and it was useless to die at the gate of the palace. They accepted their fate, anyway, Li Yunxiang will do whatever he wants in the future, and it will be the Li family's country that will be defeated, not theirs.
Heilongtai received a huge sum of money, and Wu Jian began to recruit troops on a large scale. Chen Zheng, as the titular chief, is now becoming hot. However, it is worth mentioning that Chen Zheng's cultivation of evil skills failed, but Ding Yu and Long Cheng succeeded.
Chen Zheng's original combat power was barely comparable to the ninth grade, but after his cultivation failed, his combat power was very weak, and he had no true qi in his body, so he could only rely on his physical body, and his combat power was maintained at about three or four grades at most. Li Yunyi did not remove Chen Zheng from his position, and the head of the Black Dragon Platform did not need too strong combat power, not to mention that Chen Zheng was just a shield for Wu Zheng.
As the first Conglong hero to follow him up, it is impossible for Li Yunyi to do something like a cunning rabbit and a dead lackey, so that he can continue to work in Heilongtai. Chen Zheng was very grateful and worked harder.
Long Cheng and Ding Yu both successfully cultivated evil skills, and the two of them were very excited. Xiong Jun's current combat power is barely comparable to that of a grandmaster, and after a few months of cultivation, he is no different from an ordinary grandmaster. They saw hope, if they could continue to become stronger, they could all become masters of horizontal refining, and their combat power was comparable to that of a grandmaster, and they could follow Li Yunyi to conquer the world in the future. They cultivated more and more hard, and in addition to the whole army, they were cultivating day and night.
Wu Jian was the busiest during this time, the entire Southern Chu was running all over the place, the Tianjing Pavilion that sold weapons and the Miaoqu Pavilion that did the rabbit business were opened one after another, and now there are four vassal states opened. The business is naturally surprisingly good, and the weapons of the Tianjing Pavilion are all divine weapons, and the price is very expensive, and the supply exceeds demand.
The Fun Pavilion has become the favorite of ladies from all over the world, and behind each Fun Pavilion there are the shadows of the magnates of various countries. Most of the shares have been given away, and Miaoqu Pavilion has made money every day, but it has gone into the pockets of the powerful people of various countries. This is also something that has not been done, if there is no powerful behind it, this wonderful pavilion will be smashed within a few days of opening.
Two months later!
Wu Jian came back, not all the Tianjing Pavilion and Miaoqu Pavilion of the vassal states had been completed, but he received an important news, he needed to communicate with Li Yunyi in person to facilitate the layout later.
"Brother Yi, I received news ten days ago that there was friction on the border between Tengguo and Hengguo. ”
Wu Jian went straight to the point, he said: "In addition, I received news that the price of grain in Dongqi has been rising in the past two months, although the increase is not high, but there is a problem with the continuous rise. There is also news that the Great Zhou Dynasty and North Vietnam have been in constant friction recently, and there have been obvious military movements within the Great Zhou Dynasty, and the troops on the eastern front have mobilized 500,000 troops to go to the northern front. ”
"Hmm!"
Li Yunyi stared at the map on the wall for a while, nodded and said: "It's very clear, the Great Zhou and the Eastern Qi should have secretly reached an agreement, the Great Zhou will make a move against North Vietnam, and the Eastern Qi will make a move against Southern Chu, and a full-scale war will break out in half a year at most." ”
Wu Jian raised his eyebrows slightly and said, "So sure?"
"Hmm!"
Li Yunyi smiled, but did not give an explanation. The reason why he was so sure was that in his previous life, during this time period, Dongshenzhou had entered a period of great chaos. Although his butterfly fanning has changed some things in this life, it has not changed the general trend.
The pattern of the five dynasties of Eastern Shenzhou has existed for more than 300 years, and the Great Zhou Dynasty has always wanted to restore the glory of the past and regain its domination of the world. More than 300 years ago, the four major dynasties did not destroy the Great Zhou, and the Great Zhou accumulated more than 300 years of strength. He was bent on destroying the four dynasties and regaining his domination of the world.
This is the general trend of East Shenzhou, and it is not something that Li Yunyi, a reborn butterfly, can change.
"So what's going to happen now?"
Seeing that Li Yunyi had been silent, Wu Jian asked, "Do you want to remind Chu Yuge?" Nan Chu is not prepared at all, and I am afraid that he will be caught off guard when the time comes. Nanchu was destroyed, and Jingguo couldn't be saved. ”
"Reminder?
Li Yunyi sneered twice and said: "Southern Chu is not chaotic, how can we take advantage of the chaos to rise? Don't worry, the national strength of Southern Chu is not weak, and there is Sima Yue Ram Qiu in the army, which cannot be destroyed in a short time." As long as there is a protracted war, it is the national strength that will be fought in the end, and if Dongqi and Nanchu are one-on-one, it is not certain who will win and who will lose. However, in the battle more than ten years ago, the bear was broken and collapsed, and Nanchu is now led by a sick lion, and it is difficult to win, but it is almost impossible to destroy Nanchu if you think about it. ”
"Then I understand!"
Wu Jian nodded and said: "During this time, I have already laid out Dongqi and Da Zhou, I will pay attention to Hengguo, and I will pass on the news to you as soon as possible." ”
"It's not just Dongqi!"
Li Yunyi pointed to the map and said: "The Western Jin Dynasty will also send people over, the Western Jin Dynasty is located in the west, with poor mountains and bad waters. They were poor, but their army was strong, like a pack of hungry wolves. If Southern Chu and Eastern Qi go to war, maybe they will come to take a bite. ”
"Big Brother ......"
Wu Jian said with a sad face: "There are only so many people in Heilongtai, although some people have been recruited, it takes time to cultivate and train. Now you want me to lay out so many places at once, how can I have the time and manpower?"
"The layout of the major vassal states is suspended!"
Li Yunyi ordered: "Now focus on the Great Zhou Eastern Qi and Western Jin Dynasty, the next big war is an opportunity for the rise of our Jingguo, so we must get the information as soon as possible, so as to make an early layout and survive in this big wave." ”
"Okay!"
Wu Jian thought for a while and said, "Then I'll make arrangements, how are you preparing in the country? I see that you haven't promoted the rest of the army?
"Of course not enough!"
Li Yunyi explained: "In fact, I can improve some of it, but I don't dare to improve it now. Nan Chu estimates that there are a lot of spies buried in us, and now we can't make much action ourselves, as long as the big war is together, Nan Chu can't take care of us, we can play how we want. During this time, you have the layout of the Great Zhou Eastern Qi and Western Jin Dynasty, and you have the opportunity to buy a batch of medicinal materials, and it doesn't matter if the remaining four billion are spent. ”
"Rub, so ruthless?"
Wu Jian glanced at his lips and said: "The country is in ruins, so you don't even spend money to restore the people's livelihood? And it's about to be a big war, and all the money is spent, so what will you pay when the time comes?"
"Huh!"
Li Yunyi smiled confidently: "As long as you have enough strength, money will never matter." Jingguo has no money, Nanchu has money, and the major princes have money. Don't worry, when the big war is over, someone will take the initiative to send money over. As for the issue of people's livelihood, there is about to be a big war, so can they still take care of the people's livelihood? If Jingguo is finished, their life will be even more miserable. ”
"Okay!"
Wu Jian patted his ass and stood up, and said, "Master has a day off, and I will work again tomorrow." I've been running outside all this time, and I haven't been happy for two months. ”
"That's right......"
Wu Jian suddenly remembered something, glanced at Li Yunyi suspiciously, and asked, "Brother Yi'er, your leg has been healed for a while, hasn't it? Why don't you see your lucky woman? Could it be your thing... Something went wrong?"
Li Yunyi's face sank, and he said angrily: "Get out!"
