Chapter 137: No Solution?
"Celestial Princess, salt is the lifeblood of a country, it seems that we can only give up the desert line!" Looking at Qin Manwu, who was at a loss, Jun Buyan said helplessly.
"Smack!" Qin Manwu slapped the table hard, and said in a deep voice: "The Qinshan Salt Mine has been excavated for more than ten years, and it is obviously high-quality salt, why did it suddenly become bitter salt?"
"Hey!" Jun Buyi sighed and said, "No one would have thought that the middle and lower layers of the salt mine would contain so many impurities!"
"The most infuriating thing is Xuanyuan Heavenly Sect, we have already promised not to sell vegetables to the Orc Alliance, they are still not satisfied, and they want us to withdraw from the desert!" Qin Manwu had extreme unwillingness in his eyes.
"The responsibility for this matter is not on the eldest princess, even if you lose the desert line, the emperor will not think that you are doing things unfavorably, and others will not make a fuss about this matter...... Give up, give up!"
Qin Manwu shook his head and said, "But I have already signed an agreement with Jiang Xingchen, and I quit like this, how can I explain to others, where is the credibility of our world commercial house?"
"Didn't Jiang Xingchen already write to ask about the situation, he should also know that this matter is not humanly at all!"
Qin Manwu took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "But I'm just unwilling, we already have the upper hand in the desert, and honey and spirits have conquered several city lords, so it's time to sign an agreement with us......"
Of course, Jun Immortal is not reconciled, the desert line of the world's commercial banks has worked hard, and it is not easy to open up the situation, and it is a pity to give up like this. However, the current situation of the Great Qin Kingdom did not allow them not to compromise with Xuanyuan Heavenly Sect.
Shaking his head, the group of immortals was about to open his mouth and persuade Qin Manwu again. This matter is a foregone conclusion, and there is no way to undo it.
But at this moment, a subordinate suddenly ran over: "Eldest princess, Jiang Xingchen of the Qiankun Empire has a letter!"
"Huh?" Qin Manwu frowned: "Didn't you already explain the reason to him, why did he write again?"
With doubts, Qin Manwu took the white silk in the hands of his subordinates and opened it to watch.
"Ah!" As soon as he glanced at it twice, Qin Manwu widened his apricot eyes and let out an exclamation, a flash of surprise flashed in his eyes.
Jun Immortal came over to watch. He also involuntarily raised his eyebrows, and said in a low voice: "He asked us to send him some bitter salt from the Qinshan Salt Mine......"
Qin Manwu couldn't help but smile: "Does he have a solution?"
"It's unlikely!" Jun Immortal shook his head, that kind of bitter salt can't be eaten at all, what can Jiang Xingchen do.
"Uncle Jun, you have forgotten the magic of Jiang Xingchen. Sheep intestines, terminal illness. Snare drums. Which one is not unexpected...... Maybe he can really make the impossible possible!Uncle Jun had ever thought before, can the silk thread be absorbed by the muscles!"
"This ......" Jun Buyan was speechless for a moment.
"Even if he can't succeed, it's good to give it a try!" Qin Manwu added, and then ordered, "Uncle Jun, you go and inform the people in the desert." Let them leave nothing to their minds and move forward as if nothing had happened......"
"However, Xuanyuan Tianzong was urging too hard. If we don't sign a contract and they refuse to sell us salt, it will be bad...... I'm afraid the emperor will ...... everywhere," Jun immortalized the Dao.
"I'll go tell my father about this, and give me a few more days anyway!" Qin Manwu said in a resolute tone, and then ordered loudly: "Go to the Qinshan Salt Mine immediately and get a hundred catties of bitter salt, quickly!"
A month later, Qin Manwu and Jun Immortal didn't even sit in the carriage, two of them rode and hurried to the Qiankun Empire.
At the same time, in the imperial palace of the imperial capital, the main hall was silent, hundreds of ministers bowed and stood, the atmosphere did not dare to breathe, the depressing atmosphere made people's hearts beat faster, the Qiankun Emperor sat on the main seat, looking at the handwritten letter sent by the marshal Tang Chuxue, his face was so gloomy that he could drip water.
Once the Orc Alliance confirmed that there were no vegetables for the winter, even if the Golden Lion objected, it would not be able to prevent the entire orcs from falling to the Xuanyuan Heavenly Sect. In that case, the Qiankun Empire would not be able to stop the opponent's overwhelming attack at all.
"You ...... Who has a way to solve the vegetable problem of the Orc Alliance?" Putting down the white silk, the Emperor Qiankun looked down and asked lightly.
The hall continued to be silent, and none of the hundred officials spoke, where did they dare to respond to such a big event, once they didn't play well, it would be the result of their heads falling to the ground.
"Hmph! You are all known as the elite talents of the empire, why don't you have any ideas at all?" Emperor Qiankun's eyes narrowed, revealing a hideous sneer.
"Great Emperor!" Yuan Xixuan walked out, bowed down and said, "It is reported that Jiang Xingchen has a good relationship with the Tianxia Commercial Houses of the Great Qin Kingdom, so you might as well let him come forward and coordinate this matter through the Guò Tianxia Commercial Firms." ”
"I knew you would say that!" The marshal pursed his lips disdainfully, and said: "Jiang Xingchen has contacted the Tianxia Commercial Bank before, and the result is that there is a problem with the Qinshan Salt Mine, and now all it produces is bitter salt, which gave Xuanyuan Tianzong a chance...... Do you think that the Tianxia Commercial Bank has the ability to solve the problem of bitter salt?"
"This ......" Yuan Xixuan was speechless, if Jiang Xingchen didn't ask the reason, they would be forced to go down, and it would be your own business to do it or not...... But now that people have asked, the salt mine problem still can't be solved, so this method can no longer be used!
"Otherwise, if you look for Hengtong Trading Company, since they can get grain seeds, there should be no problem in getting vegetables in winter......," another person came out and said.
"Do you think the Hengtong Trading Company can get enough vegetables for the entire Orc Alliance to survive the winter?" Emperor Qiankun interrupted him with a cold face, and there was already some anger in his tone. There are 30 million people in the whole orc alliance, how many vegetables do you have to get, this is not food.
"Uh!" The person who spoke hurriedly lowered his head, making his ears red, the amount of food needed by the entire orc alliance, even if Hengtong Trading Bank did not smuggle, it would not be enough to transport it for a year.
At this time, the Chancellor of the Exchequer stood up and said: "For the sake of today's plan, we can only start in many ways, notify the major trading houses, try to open up the external links, and try to get more vegetables in winter!
Yuan Xixuan said: "The other three kingdoms will never be involved, and they will not be able to solve the problem of the orc alliance at all." ”
"Does the Lord Chancellor have a better idea?" asked the Chancellor rhetorically.
"This ......" Yuan Xixuan shook his head, speechless.
Seeing this, Emperor Qiankun sighed secretly. He was instructed, "Just do what the Chancellor of the Exchequer does!"
Turning his head, Emperor Qiankun said to the marshal again: "Notify the major legions, prepare for battle! Logistics supplies must be on standby at any time, in case Xuanyuan Tianzong makes any moves!"
The marshal frowned, and said in a low voice: "Emperor, logistics supplies need a large number of civilians, now is the time to be busy with farming, this year's spring plowing is delayed, and the autumn harvest time is shorter, if the harvest is delayed." I'm afraid it's ......."
"This is an unsolvable situation at all, who would have thought that the Great Qin Kingdom would have such a thing! Now that Xuanyuan Tianzong has sent the grain in the agreement, and the sheep intestines have also been taken away, there is no scruple about doing it...... Let's do this for now!"
"Yes!" replied the marshal, bowing back......
It is the complete opposite of the oppressive atmosphere of the Imperial Palace. At this time, in the Pingjun City at the forefront of the Dongxuan Kingdom, it was a different scene.
It took months of construction. The city of Pingjun has been restored to its original appearance. The walls and defenses were even stronger than before, and the reserves of various supplies were more abundant.
In the general's mansion in the center of the city, the people were full of people, lively and jubilant, dozens of subordinates shuttled back and forth with wine and food, and several tables of banquets were placed in the courtyard.
Head to the chair of the table. Xuanyuan Tianzong Elder Tong Wanshan was drinking with a black-faced man.
After draining the glass of Chinese wine in one gulp, the black-faced man laughed for a while: "Elder, this is really a godsend, such a thing actually happened in the Great Qin Kingdom." It seems that the super yuan stone vein that stretches for thousands of miles, after two hundred years, will eventually fall into the hands of our Xuanyuan Heavenly Sect!"
"Don't be too optimistic!" Tong Wanshan waved his hand and said lightly: "Before the end of the matter, no one can arbitrarily decide whether to win or lose!"
"The elder is too modest! Now that the Orc Alliance has started infighting, and there are no vegetables, it will be a matter of time before they are thrown into us! As long as you withdraw from your side, the seven legions of the Qiankun Empire will definitely be vulnerable under our joint efforts...... This time, I want to bring back the shame of the capture of Pingjun City!"
"It's still very early before the beginning of winter, at least after the autumn harvest, the orc alliance sees that there is no hope, and this matter is possible!" Tong Wanshan looked tepid.
"The matter of the Great Qin Kingdom is an unsolvable situation. The other three kingdoms are closer to us, and they won't be mixed with them at all...... Elder, you are the first to take the lead in this strategy, and you are expected to take control of the House of Elders in the future!"
Being praised by the black-faced man like this, Tong Wanshan finally couldn't suppress the pride in his heart, laughed, and drank with the big man again......
In Qingshan Village, after Jiang Xingchen sent a letter to Qin Manwu, he devoted himself to his work.
Tang Chuxue and Dingbei Hou were waiting for news, they had no intention of leaving, the old man's curiosity was even greater, and he kept pestering him to ask how to solve the problem of bitter salt, so that he didn't have a chance to use the breathing method and activate the formation.
Fortunately, he was busy, planting leeks, hooks, sesame, and sunflowers.
Leeks don't have many seeds, so you can plant them in a col. The thing is poisonous, and Jiang Xingchen specially found craftsmen to build a large circle of walls on the hillside, enclosing more than ten acres of land.
There are a lot of sesame seeds, and there are more sunflower seeds, all of which are non-energetic, but those are pollinated and fruited, Jiang Xingchen didn't know it, but fortunately they were planted together.
Seeing that Jiang Xingchen had been busy doing farm work and ignoring himself, the old man lost interest and left alone.
At this time, Jiang Xingchen had the opportunity to put the breathing method into operation, and countless heat streams poured into his mind from all over his body. (To be continued......)
