Chapter 193: The Secret of the Xuannu

The former minister told Li Huai what Yaoxi said simply.

Li Huai felt that she was in charge of this kind of thing, and there was no need to ask him, she was just a little curious, "Why do you have to inform the Bright Holy Court?" ”

The Imperial Minister looked at him in surprise, didn't he know?

And he explained it to him.

"Because only after the approval of the Bright Holy Court, we can sell the refined salt to the entire Western Regions, and we will have to extract at least twenty percent."

Li Huaiyi frowned, "This Bright Holy Court is too lenient, isn't this a bully?" ”

"Who's to say it isn't." The imperial minister subconsciously answered, and after reacting, he hurriedly waved his hand.

"I mean...... I didn't mean that. ”

Li Huai smiled with relief, "Don't be nervous, I'm not from the Bright Holy Court, such a Bright Holy Court, I think it's just right to change its name to the Dark Evil Court." ”

"Mr. Li, don't speak!" The Imperial Minister hurriedly stopped.

Li Huai didn't complain, but he couldn't help but think, does that mean that if the goods from Liangzhou are to be sold to the Western Regions, they also need to be approved by the Bright Holy Court?

How much protection money does this cost him?

Gradually, Li Huai developed an inner disgust for this Bright Holy Court, but in fact, he hadn't had much contact with the Bright Holy Court.

"Mr. Lee."

The Minister of the Interior, Tana Nazar, ran over and handed Li Huai a kettle and a towel.

"Mistress Amira, why are you here?" Tana Nazar asked the Imperial Minister in surprise.

"I'll speak for Your Majesty." Amira replied.

Li Huai first wiped his face and chest with a towel, then carried the towel on his shoulder, then picked up the kettle and handed over the knife embryo in his hand.

"If it's appropriate, I'll polish it for you, and then put on the handle."

Amira was surprised, "This knife was given to Tana Nazar?" ”

"Uh-huh."

Tana Nazar took the scimitar and responded.

This scimitar was different from what they used to use, and the scimitar they used to use was like a hook, and it was short.

It was designed in that shape because they were good at fighting right away, and another reason was that they couldn't smelt iron.

The arc is the best.

Now that the technology has improved, it is natural to change the shape of the knife.

This is specially designed by Li Huai for them, the blade is more than three feet long, two fingers wide, and has a slight arc.

With the addition of a two-handed hilt, the whole can reach five feet long.

This sword can be used for immediate combat, daily foot combat, and even for martial arts duels, both with one hand and both hands.

In fact, it was designed according to the 'Miao Dao' in the previous life.

Of course.

Li Huai was not unreserved, although he designed a knife shape for them and smelted qualified steel.

But this kind of tool, if they don't make technological innovation, they will never be able to mass-produce in the real sense!

Although it was only a knife embryo and no handle, Tana Nazha still easily danced a knife flower.

I just can't put it down.

"Mr. Li, thank you, I really like it." Tana Nazha handed the knife embryo back to Li Huai, looking forward to the molding.

"What kind of handle do you like? Is brass okay for handguards? ”

"I don't know, aren't all the handles the same?"

"Of course it's different, you listen to me, there is such a ......"

“……”

Amira looked at them silently for a while, and then went back to the empress, and after thinking about it.

It was only said that Li Huai forged a knife, and briefly described the appearance of the knife, as well as the situation of the sword casting workshop.

She didn't mention any of the little things that might make people think about them, and they didn't matter anyway.

That's exactly what it is.

All Yaoxi could hear were Li Huai's good words, and the more unpleasant she felt in her heart, as if she had become a big villain.

"What if...... If you really can't help it, when he's done, send him away. Yaoxi said with a voice in her head.

However, in reality, she feels that this kind of thinking is too emotional, and the empress should be unscrupulous.

Just like the emperor of Yu State, cold-blooded and ruthless!

Who said that the emperor must abandon human emotion?

Is the emperor a human being?

Yaoxi found that her brain was starting to mess up, which she had never done before, and since Li Huai came, it had become more and more difficult for her to control her cranky thoughts.

This may be because the Xuan Kingdom is too closed, and they rarely have access to the elements outside.

met such an interesting person as Li Huai.

How can you not think about it.

Yaoxi didn't notice that the people around her who had been in contact with Li Huai had become much more lively.

It's as if they've never been as cold as ice!

They're lively by nature!

"Think again."

In the end, the two voices in Yaoxi's mind reached an agreement. If you can drag it, you can't drag it out... Think of another way.

At least, keeping him now is beneficial to Xuanguo.

……

Li Huai is enthusiastic and friendly to everyone, no matter who comes to beg him, as long as he can do it, he will readily agree.

I often discuss life with them, as well as the outside world, as well as some customs and customs of the Central Plains and the Western Regions.

The network of relationships gradually spreads.

Li Huai didn't need to deliberately inquire, so he figured out the composition of Xuanguo seven or eight layers.

Although the Xuanguo claims to be a country, it actually implements the system of tribal rule, and their court structure is very simple.

An empress, and three ministers.

The Imperial Minister is equivalent to the secretary, the Minister of the Interior is equivalent to the Governor, and there is a Minister of Military Aircraft who manages all the armies of the Xuan Kingdom.

The empress and the three ministers form the core of power, forming a highly authoritarian society, and the empress is completely the same!

Those who are in charge of animal husbandry, agriculture, commerce, mineral extraction, law, and household registration...... Wait a minute.

They are all equivalent to part-time jobs, everything must be reported, although the status is very high, the actual rights are very small.

This is their court.

There are no princes and princesses in Xuanguo, and all people who do not have official positions are considered ordinary people, even if they are relatives of the three ministers, they have to live in the way of ordinary people, and there is no so-called privilege.

The only special thing is the Xuannu!

There have been a total of two Xuanguo daughters, Guli Aisha and Ruxian Aisha, both of whom can be the heirs of Xuanguo.

and has the same rights as the three ministers.

The number of girls can be increased at any time.

And it is not the empress alone who has the final say, adding or subtracting a Xuannu is the biggest thing in the Xuan Kingdom.

All the prestige people in the Xuan Kingdom need to be jointly promoted!

Li Huai didn't understand.

Guli Aisha doesn't seem to have any talent for governing the country, why did Yaoxi choose her.

Besides, Yaoxi is still so young, at least she looks young.

There is absolutely time to retrain an heir.

Why do you have to hold on to Gulia Aisha?

Although Li Huai didn't understand the reason, he knew that as long as he found a way to make Xuanguo produce a new Xuannu.

He'll be able to leave.

The point is that he doesn't know how the Xuannu came about, and they almost don't mention the birth of the Xuannu.

Li Huai only knew from them that the empress was a profession that had been passed down from generation to generation, and the representative was the Nine Heavens Xuannu!

Xuannu is the daughter of heaven!

You have to dig deeper!

this day.

Li Huai came back from the Sword Casting Workshop and was just about to go in to rest, when he arrived at the door, he smelled the smell of wine.

Lift the curtain door.

I really didn't expect it.

Yaoxi, the eldest empress, actually had time to wait for him here, and prepared a table of delicious food for him.

"Go down, all of you." Yaoxi waved his hand and commanded.

Everyone retreated, and only the two of them were left, and the lonely man and widow were alone in the room, weren't they afraid that someone would want to get into trouble?

"Mr. Li, please be seated." Yaoxi invited him to a seat, and as soon as he sat down, she naturally poured a bowl of wine.

Li Huai was not polite, he drank it when he picked it up, he was just thirsty, and after drinking, he asked, "What are you looking for me?" ”

Yaoxi took out Li Gan's reply and handed it to Li Huai for him to read for himself.

Li Huai glanced at it casually and put it aside.

The meaning is obvious.

Since Li Gan was unwilling to ransom him, she could only consider starting the second plan and letting Li Jinglong, the princess of Chang'an, redeem him.

I came to ask for his opinion.

Li Huai laughed coldly, "Do you think I will agree?" If I don't agree, you won't do it? ”

Yaoxi frowned, she heard a full of resentment, "So I came to discuss with you." ”

"What are you talking about? I have done so many things for you and your Xuanguo, I don't ask you to let me go, but please don't hurt my relatives, can you meet my one condition? Li Huai said contemptuously.

Yaoxi couldn't help but be moved, he really didn't have to say anything, he was definitely the best man she had ever seen.

Now the entire high-level of Xuanguo thinks so.

Moreover.

Guli Aisha took the initiative to go to the Tianshan Mountains, and it was really inappropriate to embarrass Li Huai for this.

Yaoxi was indeed grateful to him, so she was determined not to coerce him anymore.

She thought of a third option.

"Can you write a letter to Tianshan and ask them to send Guli Aisha back, they can teach you martial arts, I think they are familiar with you."

Li Huai was stunned, she didn't just think of this method, if she didn't think of it, why didn't she say it before?

This is the most effort-saving option.

After thinking about it, Li Huai said, "It's better to be simple, you write a letter directly to Gulia Aisha, and I will find a way to send it to Gul Aisha." ”

Yaoxi bit her lip, this ...... It's really rare to see that the empress will also have such hesitant behavior as biting her lip!

"I think it's better to forget it." She immediately took the words back.

Li Huai concluded that there was a problem here, and it was a root problem, and chased after her and asked, "Why forget it?" ”

"I know the people of the Tianshan Mountains, Gul Aisha has gone to the Tianshan Mountains, they are their people, they will not let Gul Aisha go to the Bright Holy Court." Yaoxi explained.

It's another set of rhetoric.

Li Huai thought it made sense at first, but now he doesn't think so.

"As far as I know, none of you have been to the Tianshan Mountains, how can you conclude that the Tianshan Mountains will not release people, the people of the Tianshan Mountains are really not as cautious as you say."

Yaoxi bit her lip again, and said half-timely: "In case the mountain has an excesse, I will lose Guli Aisha forever, I have already lost Ruxian Aisha, and I can't go through it again." ”

Swindler!

Like Guliaisa in the past, they are big liars full of lies!

"There's only one reason why you don't write directly to Guliaisha, because you know she doesn't want to come back." Li Huai said conclusively.
