514 Dilemma

Xiong Wuliang is at ease.

Although Yingdu is large, there is no mansion of the dignified Quyang Marquis - fortunately, Xiong Wuliang is not very demanding, so he casually enclosed a piece of land and built three or five temporary houses, and it became the temporary palace of the most popular Quyang Marquis in Chu State.

Qu Yuan, Zhaohua, Le Yi, Shen Dao and others all stayed in this temporary palace, correcting and correcting the recital day and night.

A small temporary residence has become the center of power in the Chu State.

Dense folds and papers, flowing in and out from here...... Sent to every corner of the thousand-mile territory of the Chu State.

Ahem, this has nothing to do with the lazy Quyang Hou.

At this moment, Xiong Wuliang was boredly rummaging through a bundle of old bamboo slips that were a little moldyβ€”this was one of the surviving classics after the fire in Yingdu, and the content was not important, but it was just a record of the anecdotes of a certain former king of the Chu State.

In addition, there are some collected local chronicles, travelogues and other trivial things, which have a stale smell and have obviously not been read for many years.

Fortunately, it is still well preserved, and the handwriting is still clear.

'There are strange beasts in Bashu, with black and white fur, a strong appearance, and infinite strength...... He likes to eat gold and iron, his voice is like thunder, and he lives in the bamboo forest...... Xiong Wuliang held a travelogue left by a certain prince of Chu many years ago, and pondered it for a long time......

Riding a horse, isn't this a national treasure of a mythical beast?

Xiong Wuliang couldn't cry or laugh......

However, a reading of these texts is more or less useful - the ancestors who liked to travel the world seem to have discovered crude oil deposits in a mountain forest somewhere: '...... The color is black and bright, its quality is viscous, and the surrounding grass does not grow......

It's a pity that the specific location can't be determined, otherwise this travelogue would really be worth a thousand gold.

There is not much entertainment in this era, and looking at these travelogues can be regarded as a rare fun thing to pass the time...... Xiong Wuliang put away the bamboo slip in his hand, rubbed his somewhat sour eyes, and let out a long sigh.

Recently, Yingzhuo's little girl is very cold.

Probably because of Xiong Wuliang's actions in front of Wuguan, this 'dignified princess of Qin' was a little unbearable......

It stands to reason that between the current state of Chu and the state of Qin, it can be called a sea of blood feud...... But Xiong Wuliang believes that this really has nothing to do with Ying Zhuo - and when the latter was in Xianyang, he did not hesitate to risk his life for himself and threatened Wei Ran with a sword......

Every time Xiong Wuliang thinks of this, his heart warms.

If you have a wife like this, what more can a husband ask for?

The ceremony for the big wedding is still being prepared...... It stands to reason that Ying Zhuo should be waiting in Xianyang at this time, and Xiong Wuliang used a full guard of honor to pick her up from Qin with great fanfare.

The world makes people - Ying Zhuo is now in the Chu State, and recalling the process, Xiong Wuliang almost 'robbed' her with soldiers.

With a positive thought in his heart, Ying Zhuo is here - today's Ying Zhuo is dressed in a red and white Chudi witch dress, her hair is coiled up, and she is tied with a thin red ribbon to make a smooth braid, and she has an uncarved Qin-made iron sword on her left waist, and a string of jade on her right waist...... What a handsome son-in-law!

"Eat." Ying Zhuo took out two warm cakes from his arms and threw them to Xiong Wuliang with an expressionless face, concise and to the point.

Xiong Wuliang stretched out his hand and grabbed the pancake steadily: "Thank you, warm the bed." ”

"You ......" Ying Zhuo was angry for a while, looking at this lazy-looking kid, and wanted to give him a kick.

Obviously, in the array of the army, this Qu Yanghou can still put on a majestic appearance...... Why is it that in private, it is such a muddy look that can't support the wall?

Xiong Wuliang knew that she was arrogant and thin-skinned, so he laughed twice and ate big......

It's been a long time since I've been back to the fiefdom, and to be honest, Xiong Wuliang still misses Xiaoyi a little......

Facing Yingzhuo, he still thinks about Xiaoyi...... I'm such a scumbag stepping on a horse!

I don't know how to face her when we meet again-no matter what, the betrayal of the cheap old man will never be forgiven by the Chu State no matter what.

This is also the trouble after the beginning of spring next year.

It's almost winter...... There are too many troubles, and it's not the turn to be sad for the time being.

……

Xiong Wuliang was thinking of this, and he heard a series of hurried footsteps...... Listening to this heavy and hurried footsteps, Xiong Wuliang's good mood came to an abrupt end, and he almost hid his face and wanted to escape.

Qu Yuan's old face leaned in from outside the door: "Meet the lord." ”

Xiong Wuliang's eyes were sloppy...... Don't think about it, this new Great Chu Lingyin is here to ask for money again.

Sure enough, Qu Yuan coughed lightly: "Lord, the money and grain in the account are only enough for half a month." ”

"If you can't get any more money and food...... I'm afraid something big is going to happen! ”

Xiong Wuliang asked, "What do you suggest?" ”

Qu Yuan said solemnly: "In the opinion of the ministers, the first thing to do is to reduce the relief for refugees - if you can't get money and food, you can only deduct their money and food, or even give up some people by region......"

This is the next policy, if it weren't for the fact that there was no way, Qu Yuan would not have made such a suggestion.

Now the order is quite stable, but this is not the credit of the Quyang New Army and the Xiao Cavalry Army - in the huge Huainan Plain, how can 20,000 soldiers take care of it?

It's just that the refugees now believe in Xiong Wuliang's credibility and believe in the words released by Qu Yanghou - the money and food are enough, and the materials are honestly received, which is enough to survive the winter - so there is no chaos.

Once the money and food are deducted...... When the refugees lose their confidence, they immediately become agitated. robbing each other, and even attacking and killing the government......

The consequences are unimaginable!

Qu Yuan continued to say in a deep voice: "Time is pressing, if you don't act decisively, I'm afraid it's too late-"

"The nobles and ministers of the country should have surplus food at home."

"Ask them for or borrow ......"

Qu Yuan's voice became quieter and quieter, and he obviously thought that these nobles would not honestly contribute their pockets......

The resistance of the world!

……

Generally speaking, when Qu Yuan was looking for Xiong Wuliang, Ying Zhuo would hide out.

Today, Ying Zhuo's movements were a little slower, but he happened to hear Qu Yuan's words, on his white face, the corners of his beautiful mouth twitched slightly, and he smiled half-teasingly: "Qu Lingyin is calculating well, those moths are so easy to loosen their mouths?" ”

Qu Yuan nodded approvingly, then looked at Xiong Wuliang, and the fierce light in his eyes flashed: "Lord...... If they don't cooperate, it's better to rob the troops! ”

Horse-ridden.

If I ask you for money, it's to save your face!

Since I have given you face, you have to give me face...... If you don't give me face, I don't have to save face for you!

The state of Chu is weakened, and the 20,000 parts under Xiong Wuliang are a strong force enough to suppress the whole country!

Dare not pay?

Fuck him!

……

Xiong Wuliang furrowed his eyebrows.

Although the political IQ of our Quyang Hou has never been high, he also knows that Qu Yuan's strategy is actually the next policy.

First of all, although the ministers of the Chu State are now nervous and resistant to Xiong Wuliang, they still maintain the peace on the surface - once they really tear their faces openly, with the number and strength of the nobles of the Chu State, the consequences are really serious.

It's not that you can't beat it – it's that the impact is too bad.

Moreover, the nobles of the Chu State have deep roots, even if Xiong Wuliang has an absolute advantage in military strength, it is not easy to completely eliminate these nobles.

What's more, once force is used, the situation in Chu State, which is already in a serious situation due to the refugee problem and is anxious, will become more complicated.

Secondly, robbing does not necessarily get many things - as long as those nobles dig a pit in the suburbs and hide the treasure, Xiong Wuliang will be able to find it in his life.

Especially the most important food at the moment - as long as the fire goes down, it can keep Xiong Wuliang busy for half a day and offend almost all the nobles, and he still gets nothing.
