Chapter 136: The Problem of the Great Qin Kingdom
"Boy, the invention of the chariot and the use of animal power are definitely enough for you to be promoted to a first-class baron! Do you want to be rewarded directly, or do you want to accumulate it like last time!" asked the Marquis of Dingbei sternly.
"This ......" Jiang Xingchen groaned slightly, of course he wanted to be like last time, accumulate and then explode, so that he could not only upgrade, but also expand his territory again.
However, after the Spring Festival song and dance performance and the food festival, he must have become a thorn in the side of the imperial management department, even if he wants to accumulate, I'm afraid it will not be easy.
"Boy, although the one-time outbreak is refreshing, but this time it is not easy, once there is no movement on our side, the imperial management department will definitely put it forward, and the major territories are waiting to be promoted! When the time comes, they will directly write to the emperor and ask for a reward for you, every qiē is reasonable, and no one can stop it......" Dingbei Hou saw Jiang Xingchen pondering, so he explained.
Jiang Xingchen frowned and said, "Since that's the case, let's wait, anyway, they will also promote me to a first-class baron!"
The Marquis of Dingbei raised his hand and patted Jiang Xingchen's head, and said, "Whoever sues you will be crowned a first-class baron, a large amount of property, a false position in the Empire, and even a name for you in the Imperial Academy...... You are only seventeen years old, saying that your qualifications are too shallow, to avoid you being anxious and arrogant, for your future development, there are big hats one by one, and it is too easy to pressure you. ”
"That's it......" Jiang Xingchen was a little helpless, how could a noble management department have so much power!
"Boy, I know what you're thinking, isn't it just to develop your territory into a town! Then you have to be promoted to a third-class viscount, and you must pass the first-class baron's level...... Even if you continue to accumulate, it will never be possible for you to upgrade two levels in a row and expand externally. Plus the administrative promotion of the territory!"
Jiang Xingchen nodded, thought about it for a moment, and frowned: "I understand! However, I still want to wait, even if the aristocratic management department mentions this matter, at least it will be after the autumn ......harvest! In addition, even if you can't achieve your goal in one step, it's okay to upgrade and expand together!"
"This kid, it's really stubborn, just go to the black ...... one way" Dingbei Hou sighed secretly. After thinking about it, Jiang Xingchen also said it reasonably. Before the autumn harvest, as long as he didn't report it, the aristocratic management department really had no excuse.
"Okay! We're going to put it off for two months...... What ...... do you have" As soon as Dingbei Hou's words were spoken, there was a knock on the door. Tang Chuxue walked in.
Tang Chuxue didn't say anything else, and immediately explained Luo Yu's matter to Jiang Xingchen. The problem with orc vegetables. The sooner it is resolved, the better. This is a major matter involving the alliance of both sides.
After Jiang Xingchen heard this, he couldn't help but secretly praise, Luo Yu doesn't look like a pure foodie, but this thing is really beautiful, it is simply leaky. Talking directly to yourself about such a big matter is not right. Tong guò imperial pressure. Not even so. It's different when she finds Tang Chuxue, her identity is enough to afford such a big event, and when it comes to the safety of the empire, Tang Chuxue is of course duty-bound.
Dingbei Hou also looked solemn when he heard it. The impact of this incident on the empire is indeed greater than that on the orc alliance! Once the orcs throw themselves into the Xuanyuan Heavenly Sect, it will be a big trouble.
"What happened to the Great Qin Kingdom?" Dingbei Hou frowned, his face gloomy.
"I'll ask! But I can't guarantee it...... In case something really goes wrong with the Great Qin Kingdom, there is really no way to sell vegetables to the orcs, then there is nothing I can do about it!"
Jiang Xingchen said, then picked up the pen and wrote a letter to Qin Manwu. He can grow vegetables himself, but there is no problem in eating them by himself, supply the orc alliance, or pull it! That has to be done by the whole empire, even if he can solve the problem of vegetable seeds, how can he explain it to the outside world, his own secret is exposed, and if he can't get it right, he will be sliced and studied.
"This matter has to be reported to the Sù Empire immediately, and the orcs can't let them throw themselves into the Xuanyuan Heavenly Sect no matter what!" said Dingbei Hou.
"Now that Jiang Xingchen has sent a letter to the World Commercial Bank, it doesn't matter, contact in advance to ask the reason, and the empire will not force it down...... I'll inform the marshal!" Tang Chuxue nodded and left the room.
"Boy, this is a good opportunity to solve this problem...... Dingbei Hou's eyes flashed.
"I know, but I also have to figure out what's going on!" Jiang Xingchen shook his head with a wry smile, and the Marquis of Dingbei actually seemed more anxious than him.
The Marquis of Dingbei understood the meaning of the emperor not being in a hurry and the eunuch was in a hurry from Jiang Xingchen's gaze, and he suddenly jumped like thunder, raised his hand and knocked it over......
The written letter was sent away overnight, and Luo Yu, who had finished talking about the matter, did not stay, thanked Jiang Xingchen, and left in a hurry.
After a bustling uproar, the whole village seemed to be calm again, but many people did not sleep in the night. Dingbei Hou, Tang Chuxue, and Jiang Xingchen were all thinking about the orc alliance, after all, this news came too suddenly, and the impact was too great.
Jiang Xingchen didn't even use the breathing method to develop the formation. First, he did have something in his heart, and second, he was also worried that the scope of affecting the vitality of the outside world was too large, which would attract the attention of the old man.
There was nothing to say all night, and early the next morning, Mo Hongxian and Zhao Danqing each led the mercenary group back to Hongyuan City, the village returned to normal, the craftsmen continued to build houses, the villagers went to work in the fields, and Jiang Xingchen began to make beehives.
Tang Chuxue and Dingbei Hou didn't leave, which made the others a little strange, they didn't know the conversation of several people last night.
Throughout the day, Jiang Xingchen made more than a dozen beehives, and then placed them on the hillside behind him with the little cat girl.
When they returned, Qin Manwu's letter finally arrived.
couldn't wait to open it, Dingbei Hou, Tang Chuxue, and the old man all came over.
"So that's the case!" Seeing the content of the letter, Dingbei Hou and Tang Chuxue immediately frowned, the letter said that there was a problem with the largest salt mine in the Great Qin Kingdom, and now the salt dug up is all bitter salt, and there is no way to eat it!
Now Xuanyuan Tianzong proposed that he could give salt to the Great Qin Empire, but asked for a large number of winter vegetables in exchange, and asked the world's commercial houses to withdraw from the desert line.
"Just this question?" Jiang Xingchen was completely different from Dingbei Hou and Tang Chuxue, and he seemed a little unimpressed.
"Oh?" Tang Chuxue raised her eyebrows and asked in surprise, "Do you have any solution?"
"Let's just supply the Great Qin Kingdom with salt, do we have to use Xuanyuan Heavenly Sect?" Jiang Xingchen said with a smile.
"That's what you came up with?" Dingbei Hou had a strange expression on his face.
"yes! what's wrong?" Jiang Xingchen asked with a wink.
"Don't you know that a small part of the salt of our Qiankun Empire is to be purchased from the Great Qin Kingdom?"
"Uh! that's it......" Jiang Xingchen was speechless for a moment, and scolded in his heart: "What do people want from Xuanyuan Tianzong, why is the Qiankun Empire poor like this, what do you want......
While wailing in his heart, Jiang Xingchen asked, "What about the Orc Alliance, and what about the other three neutral kingdoms?"
"You're usually very smart, why are you stupid now!" The old man patted Jiang Xingchen lightly on the top of his head and said with a smile: "If other countries can produce so much salt, will the Great Qin Kingdom cut off the vegetables of the Orc Alliance and trade with Xuanyuan Tianzong!"
Jiang Xingchen was a little embarrassed by the old man's education, slapped his hand away, and said loudly: "Qin Manwu sent a letter saying that the problem of the desert has not yet been finally decided, which shows that the Great Qin Kingdom has not yet reached an agreement with Xuanyuan Tianzong!"
"Hmph!" the old man sneered and said, "So what, no one can solve the problem of salt in the Great Qin Kingdom now!"
"Who said it can't be solved, isn't it just mineral salt......" Jiang Xingchen waved his hand.
"What, is there anything you can do?" the old man laughed.
"Uh!" Jiang Xingchen instantly realized that he seemed to have fallen for this old thing.
At this time, Dingbei Hou and Tang Chuxue also looked over and understood what the old man meant. Although he was skeptical that Jiang Xingchen could solve the salt problem, he had repeatedly shown magic these days, and there was almost nothing that could not be solved.
There was already a glimmer of hope, but when they heard that Jiang Xingchen was so excited by the old man that he wanted to release his bold words, the two of them suddenly showed a look of anticipation.
"What's that...... The matter of mineral salt, a little ......" Jiang Xingchen stood up, he said halfway through his words, only to remember that this is not the earth, whether the filtration method and the crystallization method have any effect, he doesn't know. If you don't say anything and let it out, you can't get it back, so it's troublesome!
"Boy!" As if seeing Jiang Xingchen's hesitation, the old man smiled and said, "Whether it succeeds or not, you have to try, this is a major matter related to the entire empire!"
Dingbei Hou also nodded and said, "If this matter can be done, this credit will be greater than your table for counting wealth!"
"Jiang Xingchen, this matter is settled! I will contact several army commanders to jointly ask the Emperor for your credit!" Tang Chuxue also said.
Jiang Xingchen was speechless for a while, I didn't say anything, I just let go of half of my words, are you like this, put all your hopes on me, do you know that I am under a lot of pressure!
Although he thinks so, it is undeniable that he has already been tempted! If this credit is achieved, and with the addition of the cocoon, it should be no problem to expand the territory a little more...... Perhaps, we can solve the population problem.
"Okay!" Jiang Xingchen nodded and said, "I'll try, but I can't guarantee it!"
"You kid try, there is generally no time when you don't succeed!" The old man said secretly in his heart, and glanced at Tang Chuxue and Dingbei Hou, both of whom showed a relieved smile.
At the same time, in the capital of the Great Qin Kingdom, Qin Manwu is still at a loss! (To be continued......
