Han Bing said with a smile: "If I were those Western barbarians, I would definitely not agree to the Tianzhu people's request for peace." If there are more gains to be gained from the war, why make peace with them? ”

Yang Peng said with a smile: "This can also be said in reverse, if you can get the benefits that require a lot of sacrifice without paying a little price, why fight!" ”

Han Bing blinked in surprise and said in disbelief, "Is this possible?" Why did the Tianzhu people give away their wealth? Even if it can't be saved in the end, it will cost the enemy a terrible price! ”

Yang Peng saw Han Bing's imposing and heroic posture, and couldn't help but feel emotional, and couldn't help but admire: "Han Bing is really the husband of a young woman!" Han Bing couldn't help but feel a wave of heart, and glared at Yang Peng with disgust.

Yang Peng said with a smile: "The concept of red jade is the concept of a strong-willed and unyielding person. Tianzhu people don't think so. Alas, in fact, it's not just the Tianzhu people, aren't most of our Han Confucian scholars the same? Afraid of fighting, just want to give in for peace. However, these people do not understand a very simple truth, and not only will not only not eliminate strife, but will only make your enemies more rampant. Strength is not an excuse for cowardice, when the strength is not as good as others, but more courage to die with the enemy! Only in this way can the enemy's desires be stopped! During the Three Kingdoms period, Shu Han was weak, but it was able to compete with the powerful Wei State for so many years, and the alliance with Wu to resist Cao was certainly one of the important reasons, and the uncompromising spirit of attack is probably another important reason. ”

It's far away, let's get down to business. Yang Peng's thoughts returned to the reality in front of him from the era that seemed to be his previous life. glanced at Han Bing and said with a smile: "For cowardly people, as long as they can seek peace, even if it is temporary, they will not hesitate!" Don't they know the truth? I'm afraid not. It's just that they don't want to believe the truth. ”

Han Bing nodded thoughtfully, raised his head and said, "Big brother, judging from the current situation in Tianzhu, I'm afraid that the Crusaders are really likely to enter Delhi, the capital of Tianzhu, should we take any action?" ”

Yang Peng pondered: "What action to take?" Is it to rescue Tianzhu, or to take this opportunity to destroy Tianzhu with the Crusaders? ”

Han Bing was startled and said urgently: "How can we take advantage of the fire to rob!" ”

Yang Peng smiled: "It's not impossible to rob while the fire is hot. It's just that Tianzhu is now attached to us, and it's nothing to kill people, but you can't kill your own people! Therefore, the plan of using soldiers against Tianzhu can be abandoned! So should we rescue Tianzhu? ”

Han Bing said: "Let Tianzhu be destroyed by those Western cultists, it is definitely not a good thing for us!" Rescuing Tianzhu should be imperative! "These concubines of Yang Peng are very disgusted with those who act as robbers under the banner of religion, thinking that those guys are no different from cultists. Hehe, the concept of these women is still very reasonable to some extent.

Yang Peng smiled and asked, "How to rescue?" ”

Han Bing had obviously thought about this problem, and when he heard this, he immediately said: "It's not easy to rescue Tianzhu. At present, the situation in Tianzhu is urgent, and if we transfer troops from the interior or even from the north, it will take time for our troops to assemble, it will take time for us to travel long distances, and it will also take a long time to mobilize the grain, grass, and baggage needed for the large army to fight for war. By the time the army is transferred to Tianzhu, I'm afraid the war will already be over. And it would be too costly to deploy troops in this way. Therefore, I think that we can only mobilize troops and horses nearby, that is, I can only let Shi Liancheng transfer troops to reinforce Tianzhu. ”

Yang Peng nodded and said with a smile: "That's right." Han Bing was overjoyed when he saw that Yang Peng agreed, and hurriedly said: "Since the eldest brother thinks my idea is right, then let's convene the cabinet early tomorrow morning to pass this bill!" ”

Yang Peng smiled and waved his hand, "Don't worry, don't worry." It's all right, but there's no need to be in a hurry. Tianzhu is not in a hurry, what are we anxious about? It's true that the emperor is not in a hurry and the eunuchs are in a hurry, but we are not eunuchs! Han Bing couldn't help but smile, he already understood in his heart, and glared at Yang Peng. ……

At the same time, in Princess Tianzhu's mansion, the two princesses, Banerji and Karina, were as anxious as ants on a hot pot. It turned out that just now, a flying pigeon biography came from Delhi, it was from their father, and their father described the current situation in Tianzhu in the biography, not many words, but between the words, it was obvious that the situation was very serious, as if the sky had fallen. Although Banerjee and Karina were very sad and angry at their father's sacrifice of themselves in exchange for peace with the Ming Dynasty, they couldn't help but feel anxious when Tianzhu faced an unprecedented crisis!

Karina hurriedly said to Banerjee: "Sister, let's go and ask to see the Ming Emperor immediately!" "Although Karina and Banerjee are gifts from Tianzhu, they are also Tianzhu's envoys left in Bianliang, and their identities are different from Li Ruolan's ministers, so they can go directly to the palace to ask for a meeting. Banerjee frowned and nodded, her heart was full of worry, she was worried that the Ming Emperor would see her sister, would she throw this matter to the ministers below to deal with it like before? For example, today's situation in Zhu can be said to have reached the point of 100,000 urgency, if you can't see the emperor immediately and delay the time, the consequences are really unimaginable!

These thoughts turned in her heart, but she did not hesitate anything, and immediately beckoned her subordinates to prepare, and she herself and her sister Karina changed into gorgeous dresses. After a few moments, the two daughters left the mansion and headed for the palace, surrounded by servants. ……

At dusk, the sun is about to completely hide in the distant screen, and the earth is dark. However, the streets and alleys of Bianliang have been lit up, and they are not as lively as during the day, with smoke curling everywhere, and children holding large bowls of food outside the door while playing with their friends while eating, often forgetting to eat because of playing, which caused the annoyed mother to roar. At this time, Bianliang seems to be very calm and peaceful, but this is just an intermission before the lively nightlife, when the sun has completely set, the beautiful nightlife of Bianliang can be regarded as the real curtain.

In the back garden of the palace, Yang Peng and a beautiful woman were strolling by the lake. However, this woman is not Yang Peng's concubine, but the former Western Xia Demon Queen, and now Mrs. Hanhai, Li Ruolan.

Li Ruolan looked at the surrounding scenery and said with a smile: "Although the scenery of this palace is good, it has obviously been many years, doesn't Your Majesty plan to build a new palace?" ”

Yang Peng smiled: "I'd rather arm an army with that money!" ”

Li Ruolan pursed her lips and smiled, "Your Majesty is really a hero of the world!" Three sentences are inseparable from the army campaign! Yang Peng laughed, "In the eyes of some people, this hero is just a bloodthirsty butcher." ”

Li Ruolan said with a smile: "How can Your Majesty take the opinions of those fools and fools to heart!" Yang Peng smiled.

The two took a few steps forward. Li Ruolan said: "The thing that the concubine said to Your Majesty during the day today is actually the real estate industry!" ”

Yang Peng's heart moved, and he couldn't help but think of the real estate industry of his time. I only heard Li Ruolan say: "Recently, the concubine did a survey of the real estate industry in Bianliang and its surroundings, and found that this market is almost completely undeveloped!" There are a lot of people from all over the world who come to Bianliang, and there is a great demand for housing, but there are very few houses that can be provided on the market, and a considerable number of them are old houses! ”

Yang Peng asked puzzledly, "Why is this happening?" ”

Li Ruolan said: "This is mainly a problem that has only emerged after the land reform, except for agricultural land and original residences, all the land is owned by the imperial court. Local businessmen want to engage in the housing industry, but they can't get land, because the government has not released the land so far, so most of the houses on the market are old houses, and the prices are often prohibitively high. Your Majesty may not know that an ordinary house in a town outside Bianliang City has now reached the price of 1,000 taels of silver! ”

Yang Peng was shocked, "A thousand taels of silver? ”

Li Ruolan smiled and nodded, "Isn't it just a thousand taels of silver." ”

Yang Peng was still incredulous and asked, "Are you talking about an ordinary house, not a manor?" ”

Li Ruolan said with a smile: "Yes, the concubine is talking about an ordinary house, not a manor." If it's a manor, well, like the one on the road outside the city, it's the worst kind, and it costs 10,000 taels of silver. ”

Yang Peng stopped, already stunned, he didn't expect that the real estate price in Bianliang would be almost ten times higher than that of Taizong and Zhenzong during the Second Emperor period. It's not that he didn't know that property prices could rise, but he didn't expect them to rise so much. He originally thought that the price of real estate in Bianliang would rise by one to two times at most compared to the period of the Second Emperor, but he did not expect it to be more than ten times. looked at Li Ruolan and said, "You are talking about the price of real estate in Zhendian outside the city, so what is the price of real estate in the city?" ”

Li Ruolan said with a smile: "The price of real estate in the city is naturally higher than that outside the city. Well, an ordinary house outside the city for 1,000 taels of silver costs at least 3,000 taels of silver in the city, and a manor can be bought for 50,000 taels. Even so, the properties in the city are basically priceless. ”

Yang Peng was amazed and said with a smile: "Good guy! This house price is soaring like a rocket! Li Ruolan thought that the rocket in Yang Peng's mouth was the kind of gunpowder arrow in this era, smiled slightly, and said: "But isn't it, the concubine looks more powerful than a rocket!" But it's also inevitable. The beautiful eyes glanced at Yang Peng, revealing infinite admiration and admiration, and said: "Although Your Majesty has occupied Bianliang for only a few years, Bianliang has benefited from a number of good policies of Your Majesty, which has made the economy prosperous rapidly, which has far exceeded the level of the Second Emperor period; Coupled with the continuous victory of foreign wars, the nobles of various countries gathered in Bianliang, and His Majesty's prestige spread far and wide, and the people, envoys, and merchants from all over the world came to visit Bianliang one after another, which made Bianliang unprecedentedly prosperous. An inevitable law, if a city is infinitely prosperous, then her real estate prices will also rise with the tide, so the soaring housing prices in Bianliang are not an abnormal thing, but an inevitable trend of economic prosperity and people's livelihood. ”

Yang Peng smiled: "I feel comfortable listening to this. ”

Li Ruolan smiled and said, "The concubine is not flattering Your Majesty!" What the concubine said is the truth! Yang Peng laughed, and then thought: "I probably understand what you want to say." Nowadays, the real estate market in Bianliang and even the entire Ming Dynasty is developing rapidly, but there is no suitable norm and measure at the government level that can promote the healthy development of the real estate market. ”

Li Ruolan said slightly: "Your Majesty is wise, and this is what the concubine body means." He immediately took out a suggestion that had been prepared a long time ago and presented it to Yang Peng, and said, "Your Majesty, this is a little opinion and suggestion from the concubine, please take a look at it." ”

Yang Peng stretched out his hand to take her suggestion, and a strong body fragrance poured into his nose, and Yang Peng couldn't help but take a deep breath. I opened the report and took a closer look. Li Ruolan stood by and looked at Yang Peng.

After a long while, Yang Peng finished reading the report, thought about it with his hands behind his back, and slowly paced forward along the lake. Li Ruolan followed step by step and did not disturb Yang Peng.

At this moment, Yang Tong and Zhao Jinxi walked through a corridor in the distance surrounded by all the female officials and palace maids, talking and laughing. Zhao Jinxi suddenly saw Yang Peng strolling on the shore of the lake in the distance, his eyes lit up, and he immediately raised his finger and pointed at Yang Peng in the distance and said, "Your Majesty is there!" When the women heard this, they couldn't help but stop, looked in the direction of Zhao Jinxi's finger, and sure enough, they saw Yang Peng strolling on the shore of the lake. Immediately, I saw Li Ruolan, who was close behind Yang Peng, with a beautiful figure and a palace dress, and her posture was very amazing.

Zhao Jin is not happy, but Yang Tong is jealous. Yang Tong snorted and said angrily: "A widow who has lost a country dares to seduce Your Majesty!" It's really a toad that wants to eat swan meat! Yang Tong's face became even more ugly, and he immediately called the female guard who was responsible for protecting him and gave her an order. The female guard bowed and ran down.

Zhao Jinxi said with some concern: "Sister, is this a good job?" The maid added fuel to the fire: "What's wrong with this!" Let the women who want to know that there are some things that cannot be done! ”

Yang Peng stopped and turned around. Li Ruolan was following behind Yang Peng with her head down, not knowing what she was thinking, Yang Peng stopped, she didn't even notice it, and continued to walk forward, only to crash into Yang Peng's chest. Li Ruolan reacted, couldn't help but exclaim, and quickly took a step back, blushing and slightly blushing: "The concubine is distracted." I ask your Majesty's forgiveness for offending Your Majesty. ”

Yang Peng smiled slightly and said, "What is there to apologize for." In fact, I took advantage of it. Li Ruolan's beautiful eyes flowed, and her expression looked a little strange.

Yang Peng looked down at Li Ruolan's proposal and thought, "Your views and suggestions are very good. Not only did I not expect this, but also the Cabinet. He raised his head and said with a smile: "Tomorrow morning's court meeting, you will also come to participate and tell everyone your views." Li Ruolan was ecstatic in her heart, but her face was calm and calm, and Ying Ying bowed and said: "The concubine is ordered." ”

Yang Peng looked at Li Ruolan and said with a smile: "I didn't expect you to have such an extraordinary talent in business!" ”

Li Ruolan glanced at Yang Peng and said, "The concubine is glad that she can have such a talent and can do her best for Your Majesty!" ”

Yang Peng listened to the lingering affection behind her words, and couldn't help but smile in his heart.

Li Ruolan bowed and said, "If Your Majesty doesn't have any orders, the concubine will retire." Yang Peng nodded. Li Ruolan glanced at Yang Peng, bowed and retreated, and then left the harem along the corridor. Yang Peng turned around and continued to stroll by the lake, continuing to think about the topic just now: real estate, he actually forgot such a big head of money.

Li Ruolan came to the exit of the harem, and a female guard immediately came over to stop Li Ruolan. Li Ruolan stopped and looked at the female guard. The female guard clenched her fists and said, "Madam, Niangniang summons you." ”

Li Ruolan was a little surprised and asked, "I don't know which lady summoned her?" "The Queen." A few thoughts flashed through Li Ruolan's heart. The female guard made a gesture of please: "Madame, please." Li Ruolan had no choice but to follow the female guard towards the queen's bedroom.

After a while, Li Ruolan followed the female guard into the queen's palace. I saw that the lanterns in the palace were hung high and brightly lit, and the female guards stood on both sides of the corridor with helmets and armor, and on both sides of the gate of the dormitory in front of them, there were more than a dozen palace maids with graceful faces and good faces.

Li Ruolan followed the female guard into the main hall of the dormitory. The female guard bowed to the top and said, "Niangniang, Lady Hanhai brought it." Yang Tong waved his hand. The female guard bowed and stepped aside.

Li Ruolan took a step forward, and Ying Ying bowed: "The minister greets the queen." "The attitude is very respectful, in fact, I don't look down on this queen of the Ming Dynasty at all, thinking that she is just a mediocre woman from a low background and without any skills, if it weren't for the first time to meet Your Majesty, not to mention that the fish demon Longmen has become the imperial queen admired by thousands of people, I am afraid that it is lucky not to fall into the dust.

Yang Tong said: "Get up." ”

Li Ruolan straightened her waist, but still hung her head.

Yang Tong glanced at Li Ruolan, and saw that Li Ruolan's posture was graceful and graceful, and there was a bewitching atmosphere, even if she was also a woman, she couldn't ignore it, if a man saw it, wouldn't he go crazy? Yang Tong's expression became even more ugly. Looking at her face again, although it is not as good as Yan Ji, Luo Yanran, and Zhao Jinxi, she has a particularly seductive charm, this woman can definitely be called a fox spirit who brings disaster to the country and the people, no wonder everyone in the party calls her the queen of demons! And well deserved!

Zhao Jinxi finally spoke: "What did you talk about with Your Majesty just now?" ”

Li Ruolan said respectfully: "The concubine should be called by His Majesty to report some business matters like His Majesty." ”

Yang Tong sneered: "You can also help Your Majesty deal with state affairs!" ”

Li Ruolan couldn't help but feel on fire in her heart, and said in her heart: 'What are you, when I am the same as you?' Although he thought so in his heart, he would not say so, and still said very respectfully: "The minister is foolish, and he really can't help His Majesty!" ”

When Yang Tong heard this, he only felt very pleasant, and the anger just now couldn't help but subside a lot. said: "Regardless of whether you have the ability or not, it is your duty to discuss state affairs with Your Majesty. After a pause, he said in a warning tone: "Discuss state affairs and discuss state affairs, and do not think about it in the slightest." It is important to know that many calamities begin with the idea of non-separation. Li Ruolan couldn't hear Yang Tong's voice, sneered in her heart, but said respectfully on the surface: "Thank you for your teachings!" ”

Yang Tong said: "Thank you, you don't have to, you have to remember." Alright, it's not too early, so stay in my dormitory for the time being. When Li Ruolan heard this, she couldn't help but be shocked. At this time, Yang Tong had already raised his voice and said, "Someone! When even two female guards came to His Royal Highness, stood behind Li Ruolan, and said with fists clenched: "What do you command?" ”

Li Ruolan hurriedly said to Yang Tong: "Niangniang's good intentions, the minister's sense of guilt!" It's just that early tomorrow morning, His Majesty will summon the concubine at the court meeting to ask about some government affairs, and the minister may not be able to accept the good intentions of the mother! ”

After all, what happens next, let's see how it will be broken down next time.
