Chapter Seventy-Two: Stealing Half a Day's Leisure

It's winter again, and the scorching sun and torrential rain sweep across the land of Kyushu.

The stargazing supervisors of various countries unanimously determined that this abnormal weather was related to the cross-border demon in the news from Sanxian Mountain.

The pace of Beidi's invasion finally slowed down temporarily with the mud that swept Kyushu, at this time, the Great Yan Kingdom had lost a small part of the territory in the north, and how many victims were in dire straits, but no one knew it.

The iron cavalry that had defended Qin and Zhao in the south also mobilized more than half of them to go to the north, but no one could say when the muddy weather would pass, and both sides were trapped in this quagmire.

There are several things mentioned in the letters of the Seven Highnesses that are written every month.

The first is that Lord Ying Wuyu went to Hojing since he called, and there has been no news for half a year, but his master, Yan Shiqing, one of the legendary two sword saints of Great Qin, passed a message to King Qin, mentioning that Lord Ying Wuyu was seriously injured and was recuperating in Hojing, but he did not say much about the specific situation.

The second is that he went to the north to investigate the assassination of King Yan's brother, and Jin Jia was sent back by Vitex Leaf, which also eliminated the misunderstanding between the two countries, at least on the surface. Xi was trapped in an ancient secret realm, although there was no danger to his life, he couldn't get out in a short time.

The third is the stirrup that Xu Ao offered at Sunset Pass, and now it has been equipped with half of the elite cavalry of Great Qin. In training, the 'killed' ratio of undressed cavalry to redressed cavalry is as high as five to one, that is, five former elite cavalry can fight out a redressed elite cavalry. The king of Qin therefore rewarded Yingyi with a cavalry of 100,000 men. Therefore, Yingyi also divided one of the thousand-person teams as Xu Ao's personal soldiers, which was the largest personal soldier team brought by the students since the establishment of the Yanwutang.

The last one is the news about the seedless watermelon that Xu Ao is waiting for dividends. The first batch of seedless watermelons was ripened a month ago, but no one dared to try the first bite of this seedless watermelon that had never been seen before, so several death row prisoners in the prison became the first batch of people in the Kyushu world to taste seedless watermelon. Now the seedless watermelon has been fried to the point of one or two gold in Xianyang City, remember, it is sold by one, and the size of the melon depends on the meaning of the black man next to Yingyi, for a while, this taciturn black man has become the most popular person in Xianyang City.

In the first month, Yingyi's several melon fields brought him a profit of more than 3,000 taels of gold. So Yingyi took out 1,000 taels of it and bought dozens of acres of land outside Xianyang City, intending to specialize in cultivating seedless watermelons. In this regard, King Qin adopted an attitude of indifference. It's just that after Ying Yijin offered a few seedless watermelons, he was rewarded with a sword and a hundred pairs of slaves. The sword was given by the King of Qin, and Yingyi naturally gave it to Xu Ao, so he ordered someone to build a sword and bring it with the letter.

Xu Ao is also almost desperate for the business acumen of these people. Why seedless watermelons can be sold so expensive, isn't it because they are scarce? If the scale of production is expanded, how can it be possible to sell one or two gold at a sky-high price. So, Xu Ao reprimanded his business vision in his reply to Yingyi. And explained to him what is called brand value and what is called image promotion.

So in a recent letter, Yingyi said that only the first few small melon fields can grow seedless watermelons. The rest of the melon fields are used to grow ordinary watermelons. In addition, on several private occasions, Lord Zongzheng, Uncle Guo, Lord Prime Minister, and Lord Taiwei were full of praise for the Seventh Highness. What benefits Yingyi gave them, the letter didn't say. Yingyi bought a shop in the market of Xianyang City, and the melon character on the original most common store signage was replaced by a signboard plaque that no one had ever seen before, and the plaque read: The melon of the Seven Princes. The store arranged dozens of beautiful female slaves of various ethnic groups wearing their own national costumes, although most of the people who came to buy melons were housekeepers and other characters, but after all, they could talk to the head of the house, and engage in more novel gimmicks, and some of them could be passed on to the ears of the head of the house. This brand image, it's out.

Sure enough, recently this melon has risen to the point of three taels of gold.

As a result, Xu Ao's dividends also reached the level of Xu Hu's jaw-dropping.

You must know that the princes of King Qin, who have not yet reached the crown, are only a dozen taels of silver a month, which is converted into gold, which is more than one or two points and less than two taels, and Xu Ao's monthly dividend is now six or seven hundred princes' monthly salary.

In the past few months, Xu Ao and others have not only gained a lot of fat and height, but also said to have increased their strength.

It's just that the degree of this increase is estimated to be inversely proportional to the degree of weight gain.

That sword, Xu Ao didn't need it, so he gave it to the son of the uncle, that sword with a hero, so that the gentle son brother couldn't close his mouth happily, and for a while, he was a little closer to Xu Ao.

Xu Ao spent a few hundred taels of gold to buy some gifts for Lord Taiwei's nephew, but he ate a closed door. made Xu Ao a little stupid.

So those gifts were divided by Xu Hu and others.

The sisters and brothers of the Iron and Blood Road, Xu Ao also quietly stuffed a dozen taels of silver to them, and asked their sisters and brothers to inquire about the people in the Iron and Blood Road, what kind of difficulties can be solved by money, after all, he lives in the settlement of the Iron and Blood Road, and he is a neighbor, and he can help a little bit.

The captain talked to Xu Aoshen once, and he didn't care about him anymore. After all, the illegitimate son of the Xu family in Qianhe County and the people of the Seventh Highness are two completely different things.

It's just that this matter was mentioned in the secret report to King Qin every month. It is said that King Qin just smiled and put it aside, thinking that it would be fine.

On the twentieth winter of this year, Taiwei personally went to the Yanwu Hall to pass on the message of the King of Qin.

On the second day, the 10-15-year-old students of the Yanwutang were divided into two groups and rushed to the border with the army. All the way to the west, all the way to the north.
