Chapter 1062

Someone saw Qin Shangzhi and the woman who was full of dignity and protected by guards eating some of the meals they ate together. This big pot of food, the girl looked like a woman from a noble family, but she didn't dislike it at all, she seemed to be able to endure hardships.

Some people already suspect that this is their Majesty of the Great Zhou Dynasty, but how could His Majesty come here in person?

The emperor should sit in the golden palace and accept the worship of all the officials. Even if he goes out, he should be followed by all the officials. That's how it is sung in the playbooks.

Having eaten meals with these common people and soldiers, Bai Qingyan dipped his mouth with a handkerchief, glanced at the soldiers and common people who were eating in the temporary shed, and said to Qin Shangzhi: "The meal will be given to the big guys. Add some meat, how can you live without meat, if you don’t have enough money, just ask the household department.”

Qin Shangzhi nodded: "Okay!"

As soon as Qin Shangzhi finished speaking, he saw Xie Yuchang rushing into the dining shed with a report in his hand, panting and handing the bamboo tube to send the letter to Bai Qing, saying: "Your Majesty, there is an urgent report from Dengzhou!"

Bai Qingyan took the letter box, opened it and poured out the letter paper...

Xie Yuchang calmed down his heavy breathing, and conveyed according to the messenger's words just now: "At the border between Xiliang and Rongdi, the Dengzhou Army clashed with the Tianfeng National Elephant Army. Thirty-six people were killed or injured on our side, and thirty-six people were killed or injured on the other side. There were thirteen people in total, and an elephant was shot blind by Dengzhou Qingqi."

Qin Shangzhi's palms tightened, and he turned to look at Bai Qing, who was reading the urgent report carefully, and his face suddenly sank, and said: "Your Majesty..."

The uncle said in the letter that Tianfeng Kingdom deliberately provoked this time, but less than half an hour after the accident, Tianfeng Kingdom Akexie sent his deputy to the Dazhou military camp to apologize, and took the head of the war elephant Not only did they bring it over, but they also sent the heads of more than 20 soldiers who brought war elephants to the border to provoke, including the thirteen people who died.

Not only that, Tianfeng Kingdom also sent generous gifts, and twenty war horses, begging for forgiveness, and said... It can bear the pension of the dead soldiers of the Great Zhou, and the wounded and disabled can pay ten times the amount of the Great Zhou Kingdom. pension compensation.

On the contrary, the attitude of Tianfeng Kingdom gave Da Zhou no room to hold on, and this was the first time Da Zhou fought against Tianfeng Kingdom's elephant army. Even the cavalry were vulnerable to elephants. No matter how brave the monster is, it is helpless, and if it really comes to the battlefield, the elephant will run wildly, and it is really difficult to hit the eyes.

Bai Qingyan tightened her hand holding the letter paper, and her heart suddenly became clear.

She rolled up the letter paper sent by her uncle and lit it with a candle on the black lacquered square table.

Qin Shangzhi looked at the flickering flames, and reflected Bai Qingyan's cold eyes flickeringly, his palms tightened, and he lowered his eyes to meditate. It might take time for the news to arrive here from Dengzhou. And the Alliance of Several Nations was proposed by Tianfeng Kingdom and Xiliang, didn't the generals of Tianfeng Kingdom know about it? And why do such a thing at the gateway of several alliances?

Bai Qingyan looked at the pieces of paper that were almost burnt, his eyes were full of coldness, within half an hour he was able to cut off the head of their war elephant, which Tianfeng Kingdom was proud of, without hesitation. The heads of the soldiers were presented together, as well as generous gifts and twenty war horses. The handling was so crisp and neat, without even the slightest hesitation. If it was said that this was not prepared in advance, she would never believe it.

She knew... Tianfeng Kingdom was trying to test Da Zhou.

The Alliance of Several Nations was proposed by Tianfeng Kingdom, so at this time, it is time to test it out, pushing this action above the unexpected friction between the two sides, and lowering its stance to send generous gifts, war elephants and the heads of Tianfeng Kingdom soldiers. Compensation for pensions, even if Da Zhou was annoyed, it would not really cause a fight, and it could also show that they were sincerely committed to an alliance.

The Tianfeng Kingdom handled it so neatly, thinking about it...it used this method to test the strength of other countries before, so that they could draw up a strategy for attacking and conquering.

The uncle's letter also said that Tianfeng Kingdom recently collected grain and grass at high prices on the border of Dazhou. Many grain merchants, because Bai Qingqi blocked Qiushan Pass and did not allow grain to leave Qiushan Pass, turned to detour Rongdi to trade with Tianfeng Kingdom. Fengguo's bid was extremely high, and he was collecting food regardless of the cost.

It is normal for businessmen to seek profit.

Presumably... some grain merchants also sent grain to Yan State, and then sent grain to Xiliang from Yan State, which had not yet closed commercial roads to Xiliang, and sold it to Xiliang at a high price.

"Where is the person uncle sent to deliver the letter?" Bai Qingyan asked.

"When the urgent report was delivered, the person passed out. Dr. Hong has already gone to read it!" Xie Yuchang said.

"Qingzhu, pick a few people, go to Dengzhou immediately, and tell uncle... there is no need to stop the grain merchants from selling grain, gather the grain merchants, and tell them that if they want to make a profit, they need to limit the amount of grain sold to Tianfeng Kingdom every day, Moreover, all the grain sold to Tianfeng Kingdom will increase day by day according to the current price of twenty times the grain received by Tianfeng Kingdom..."

"Yes!" Shen Qingzhu was ordered to pick the guards of the Bai family to go...

"Miss Shen, wait!" Xie Yuchang looked at Bai Qingyan in surprise, "Your Majesty, do you mean that every day... the increase is twenty times that of the previous day?"

"Yes! Let my uncle tell the grain merchants just like that, only when they start to supply grain to Tianfeng country in a limited amount, and the less they supply to Tianfeng country...the more room for price increase! Merchants are looking for profit...will understand what I said the meaning of!"

Tianfeng Kingdom came from the other side of the snow-capped mountains, and the land in the country is seriously desertified. Although the food production can maintain the domestic operation, and there may be food in stock, but it cannot withstand the expense of Tianfeng Kingdom's expedition, and the cost of transporting the food is extremely high. Tianfeng Kingdom can only get it from Xiliang, or buy it from merchants in Da Zhou and Yan Kingdom...

But these merchants must have known whether there is any grain in Xiliang, otherwise they would not have bypassed Qiushan Pass to transport grain to Xiliang. It's on!

"Miss Shen is with Your Majesty, I'll pick someone to deliver the letter!" Xie Yuchang said and saluted Bai Qing, and left quickly.

Bai Qingyan got up, and accompanied by Qin Shangzhi, walked along the embankment for a while, and explained to Qin Shangzhi about building the canal, and was helped into the carriage by Shen Qingzhu and Chuntao.

Seeing that the pregnant Bai Qingyan looked slimmer than before, Qin Shangzhi clenched his fists on his side, stepped forward and said to Bai Qing: "Your Majesty, don't worry about going to Pingyang City. Tianfeng Kingdom is in Rongdi. After testing the border, he lowered his stance and compensated, so what Fengguo wants most today is to take advantage of the situation to gain a firm foothold, establish diplomatic relations with Da Zhou and Dayan, and then gradually erode it. !"

After finishing speaking, Qin Shangzhi felt that with Bai Qingyan's mind, he might have understood it long ago, so he pursed his lips and bowed to Bai Qingyan: "Your Majesty, take care!"

The first change, continue to ask for monthly tickets la la la la la!
