Chapter 556: New York New Town
Zong Xin's arrival also made Murong Yanchao hesitate, Zong Xin had created too many myths, which were beyond the scope of an ordinary person. What if Zong Xin still has a way to relieve Guo Wei this time?
Murong Yanchao thought again, what else could he do? Anyway, he and his eldest brother Liu Chong echoed left and right, no matter whether Guo Wei could solve this temporary crisis or not, the soldiers were most afraid of being attacked by the enemy, as long as they held Xu Zhou and Wei Zhou, they could attack Guo Wei casually, and sooner or later they could kill him.
No hurry, nothing rushed. Murong Yanchao knew Zong Xin's criticism, he died of cold and starvation, Zong Xin has not missed anything so far, as long as he ensures that the warm territory in the south of his body will never die in this way.
"It's okay, this monk can't do anything, if the general trend is destined today, no matter how powerful he is, what can he do, everyone has their own part, and after defeating Guo Wei, everyone can be added to the ranks. Murong Yanchao's words made these soldiers innumerable, since ancient times, interests have been the most driving thing, they are willing to follow Murong Yanchao to defeat Guo Wei, as long as Murong Yanchao wins this victory, as long as the living people can enjoy this glory and get a piece of the pie.
Zong Xin turned around and walked back, and it didn't take long for the group of people who were following him to appear, and everyone understood what Zong Xin was trying to do.
"Xianggong, why are you provoking Murong Yanchao?"
Zong Xin said: "I thought that this grandson would fight with me, if this is the case, I will kill him directly, which will save trouble." As a result, this grandson was so temperamental that he did not dare to come down from the castle tower, and if I rushed there, I might not be able to beat him. ”
The demon said: "If you fight directly, can you beat it?"
"Of course not, my skill is not as high as Murong Yan, isn't it you? If he is carried away by anger and sees me coming alone, he rushes over to fight with me. All of you are on it together, and it is not difficult to get his life. Murong Yanchao was really suspicious by nature, and he didn't have much confidence in his own strength, so he didn't dare to come down. ”
Dugu Xingyue said depressedly: "Since we have been preparing for this for a long time, why are we not allowed to follow? If we are really obedient and don't follow, he will come down to fight you again, what will you do then?"
"I've come to get to know you, and the more I tell you not to come with me, the more you'll come secretly. If even I didn't find out about your existence, Murong Yanchao wouldn't find out either. Zong Xin said: "You have to follow with the mentality of avoiding me, so that you can make a sneak attack on Murong Yanchao, otherwise he can see the clue." ”
Everyone understood that Zongxin had really taken advantage of his curiosity. However, the demon and Dugu Xingyue didn't quite understand, with Zongxin's character, it was impossible for him to do such a boring thing. deliberately lured Murong Yanchao to go down to the city to duel with him, knowing that the other party might not come down, what was the use of him coming?
Zongxin is by no means a speculator, this person has exhausted his calculations, and he must have other ideas when he comes here.
The demon said: "Xianggong, you are not here to lure Murong Yanchao to duel with you, right, but you only chatted a few words, and you didn't set him up, then the matter is very simple, you are here to determine something." From what I know of you, Murong Yanchao will die if he goes down to the city to duel with you, if he doesn't go down to the city to duel with you...... He would die another way. ”
The people who knew Zongxin all nodded, what the demon said was very reasonable, he had known Zongxin for so long, and his opponents were almost all like this, either according to Zongxin's script, or according to Zongxin's hidden script. So although Zongxin only came to show his face, he must have his thoughts.
Zong Xin nodded and said, "It's still the eldest wife who understands me, I'm just here to confirm Murong Yanchao's jealousy of me, and what is it...... Check to see if his personality has changed. It had been determined just now that even if he had absolute confidence, he would not dare to fight me alone. In fact, Murong Yanchao knows very well, his skills are higher than mine, if he fights, I am not his opponent, I came alone and everyone saw it, there was no ambush around, he still didn't dare to clash with me head-on, this person is suspicious by nature, and cautious, I must be sure that his character is still like this, otherwise this battle may not be able to win. ”
Fan said: "Little brother, how do you say this?"
"I have instilled in Murong Yanchao several years ago that he will die of cold and starvation, and today I remind this matter again, Murong Yanchao has lingering palpitations when the weather is cold and the earth is freezing. Zong Xin said with a smile: "When the time comes, I will make some more points, the weather suddenly becomes colder, much colder than before, Murong Yanchao will definitely be so frightened that he hides in the room and does not dare to go out." The brother-in-law is not going to defeat Murong Yanchao this time, but he is just delaying the time, delaying until the Khitan retreats and the Northern Han is lonely, and the father-in-law will rush to Xuzhou to reinforce the army, and that is the time to send troops. ”
Fan Zhen nodded and said, "You...... You had already calculated that Murong Yanchao would die of cold and starvation?"
Tianya said depressedly: "Don't be too surprised...... I'm more surprised than you. If my master wasn't so powerful, how could my father bear to let me, the only son, sleep with a monk all day long?
"That's the same, Your Royal Highness the Third Hard. "Even if Fan Zhen is Zongxin's brother-in-law, he is just a courtier, and he really doesn't dare to straighten up and speak in front of Tianya.
Soon the group returned to Fan's Mansion and went back to their rooms to sleep. At this time, Zong Xin had already set up a set, and there was almost nothing else to do, and after playing with his little nephew in Fan Mansion for a few days, Fan Zhen also had a first glimpse of the Jiuyang Yimai Method.
At this point, it's almost over, Fan Zhen's next step is to cultivate by himself, and others can't help much, because although the Nine Seals Yi Pulse Method is powerful, it is not difficult to learn as long as someone teaches it, and this is only an internal strength heart method, and it has no power.
Lei Fang also officially accepted Xiangxiang as an apprentice, Li is a wet nurse in the Fan Mansion, and she only needs her to take care of the little master, because she is the mother of Lei Fang's disciples, so Li's treatment is also very good, and you can see your daughter every day, the two mothers and daughters are very grateful to Zongxin and Tianya, and their lives now are many times better than before.
After Zong Xin and his party left Xuzhou, this time they didn't dare to go to Datang again, so they drove directly to Yandao. The road was full of wreckage after the war, and although Li Jing won a great victory in this battle, he also paid a lot of price. Fortunately, the state of Chu was destroyed, and now Li Jing has obtained a large area of the state of Chu.
At this time, the Southern Han Dynasty, Jing Nan, and Wu Yue could only surrender to the feet of a madman like Li Jing of the Tang Dynasty, and they didn't dare to make a mistake at all. As long as Li Jing doesn't attack them, he is lucky.
Li Jing also planned to recuperate for a while, after all, the long-term war had made the treasury empty, and if it weren't for the twenty percent of Zongxin's Yandao income, he wouldn't dare to fight the Chu State at all. If it weren't for the tragic death of Ma Xi, the king of Yue, and Ma Cun, the king of Chu, on Mount Tai, and the civil strife in Chu, I am afraid that it would not be so easy to defeat the country of Chu. These two points are all given by Zongxin, Li Jing is really sorry, Guo Wei actually accepted Zongxin as a colt first, otherwise he would have this idea.
Zong Xin and his entourage stopped and stopped and did not hurry to hurry, passed through the Chu border, and finally entered the Southern Han Dynasty. In fact, Yandao belongs to the territory of the Southern Han Dynasty, but Zongxin bought the entire island, and this island belongs to Zongxin, although it is within the territory of the Southern Han Dynasty, it has been separated.
At the beginning, this was just a small island that no one wanted, and Zong Xinken paid a lot of money to buy this island, which also made Liu Sheng, the king of Nanping, smile from ear to ear.
Liu Sheng, the king of Nanping, did not participate in the sharing of the salt island, but the salt was exported by the Southern Han Dynasty, and the collection of taxes was naturally indispensable, although the king of Nanping did not share, and made a windfall with taxes alone, so there was no control over the salt island of the master of Zongxin, anyway, he fully supported the great cause of the master of Zongxin, and the bandits and robbers around him had already been swept away by Liu Sheng, and the troops of the Lei Wangfu were also here to restrain the buyers' evil intentions.
Liu Sheng is a very smart person, if he were to be a narrow-minded emperor, he would definitely be jealous of Zongxin's business on his own territory, regret selling the island to Zongxin, and try every means to take back the island, so as to start his own salt business, wouldn't it be more profitable?
But Liu Sheng didn't think so, because no one except Zong Xin could directly conjure salt from the seawater, and Zong Xin kept this technology strictly secret, and no one else could spy on the mystery at all. If Liu Sheng gets in the way, he is afraid that Zongxin will be so angry that he will directly destroy the salt island, so as to change another place to continue to produce salt, which will not have any impact on Zongxin, but the economy of the Southern Han Dynasty will be pulled back a lot.
Liu Sheng was open-minded and figured out this problem, so instead of preventing Zongxin from taking profits in his own territory, he gave it his full support. Because of this move, the economy of the Southern Han Dynasty was much more prosperous than before, and Liu Sheng smiled from ear to ear just to collect taxes, not only did not increase the salt tax, but reduced the salt tax, so that these merchants could earn more profits, so the merchants liked to go to Yandao to buy salt.
This move made the national strength and financial strength of the Southern Han Dynasty soar rapidly, coupled with Li Jing's attack on Chu, many people of the Chu State fled to the Southern Han, the Southern Han was originally vast and sparsely populated, as long as all the refugees were accepted, and distributed relief food and seeds, the land was distributed to these disaster victims, so that they could grow food and build houses, the Southern Han Dynasty, which had been at the lowest end, rose rapidly, and the national strength made Li Jing not easily move him.
Of course, Li Jing also has other ideas, pigs are to be fattened and then killed. Hannan is located in the tropical coastal area, and the water source is abundant, in some places the grain is three crops a year, and the seafood resources are abundant, and it is not too late to attack after the Southern Han Dynasty becomes rich.
This move of the Southern Han Dynasty had a great impact on the world, not only Li Jing, but also Wu Yuezhongxun Wang Qianliang who was most affected. The situation of Wu Yue and the Southern Han Dynasty was originally similar, the coastal tropical areas, salt production as the main industry, grain planting as a sideline, salt production was originally the most important economic pillar of Wu Yue and the Southern Han Dynasty, but it is a pity that Zongxin's salt island was born, the Southern Han Dynasty took a big advantage, and Wu Yue lost the most important economic pillar, and the national strength was weak.
