Chapter 756
Bai Qingyan leaned in front of the soft couch on the window lattice of the cloud courtyard, watched the news from ahead, and lit the letter paper.
She narrowed her eyes and stared at the blue flames that devoured the paper, and remained silent for a while.
Sending the epidemic disease to Daliang was an idea discussed by the crown prince and Fang Lao. I hope that after Daliang is infected with the epidemic disease, he can bow his head to the state of Jin because of the prescription for curing the epidemic disease.
Qin Shangzhi has already gone to Guanghe Canal to preside over the construction of the canal. The Prince’s Mansion did not have Qin Shangzhi’s help to persuade him. blight?
At the end of July in the seventeenth year of Xuanjia, Bai Qingyan finally received a letter from her third sister, Bai Jintong, which made her worry about Bai Jintong finally settle down.
Bai Jintong is now walking in Xiliang under the pseudonym Cui Fengnian. She said... She traveled all the way from Guanping to Haikou, crossed the sea, sold many rare items from the Jin Kingdom to those foreigners, and bought rare items from foreigners at low prices. Unexpectedly, I lost my way at sea and groped all the way to a place called Tianfeng Kingdom. Later, after exploration, I found that Tianfeng Kingdom was behind the snow mountain behind Rongdi that no one could climb over.
That snow mountain stretches endlessly, starting from the front of Daliang and Rong Di Manhuang, and stretching all the way to the border of Xiliang. Originally, they all thought that the big snow mountain behind Rong Di was the end of the sky. They never thought about the stretch after the snow mountain. In the middle of the desert land behind the canyon tens of miles away, there is actually another country.
Tianfeng Kingdom's weapons are almost indestructible, and the weapons she brought were not opponents at all. After asking about it later, I found out... Tianfeng Kingdom has a secret method for refining weapons, and it needs to add something called toner.
This time when Bai Jintong sent a letter back, he also asked someone to bring back the toner and a blacksmith from Tianfeng Kingdom to let Bai Qingyan see if it could be used, but they had never been in touch with the language of Tianfeng Kingdom, so they might not be able to understand it. Can only rely on gestures.
Bai Jintong also said in the letter that the items she sold in Xiliang were very popular because Xiliang nobles had never seen them before. Less noble.
She also mentioned the Empress of Xiliang in her letter, saying that the Empress of Xiliang's move to promote poor families was not only among the civil servants, but also the generals. An army that imitated the Tiger Eagle Battalion of the Bai Family Army has not yet been verified, but presumably this matter is not groundless, she will find out whether any soldiers from the Tiger Eagle Battalion in Xiliang have been captured and surrendered to Xiliang.
Since the last battle between Xiliang and Jin State Wengshan, Bai Qingyan burned and killed 100,000 elite soldiers, which severely damaged the vitality of Xiliang, which was able to compete with Jin State. Vow to revitalize Xiliang.
In the new decree issued by the empress of Xiliang, it is required that men must separate their families after they get married, because Xiliang and Jin usually recruit soldiers according to each household, so the source of soldiers in Xiliang has expanded, and many young men who have reached the age of 14 They were all conscripted into the army, and Xiliang was eager to make a move and wanted to take advantage of the current chaos between Wei and Yan, Jin and Daliang, and Rong and Di to revitalize its military power.
Bai Jintong told Bai Qingyan that he had to guard against it.
Bai Jintong knew that the state of Jin was in the middle of a war with the state of Liang, and guessed that the eldest sister might have the intention of destroying Liang, and that the royal family of the Jin Dynasty was unvirtuous, and there was an epidemic in the two cities, and the state of Jin might not be able to divide its troops to stop Xiliang. Since the growth of Xiliang cannot be stopped by war, Bai Jintong wants to imitate Guan Zhong and use business methods to contain the people's livelihood in Xiliang, but... he can only try it, not sure if it is safe, and it will require a lot of money and Bai Qingyan's cooperation.
This time when Bai Jintong sent a letter back, Chen Qingsheng also brought a jade pendant, which was for Chuntao, and asked Bai Qingyan to deliver it on her behalf.
After reading Bai Jintong's letter, Bai Qingyan was determined.
Bai Jintong wanted to imitate Guan Zhong's method of dealing with the state of Lu in the past, gradually weaken Xiliang, contain and control Xiliang.
When Duke Huan of Qi was in power, the national power of Qi State was far less powerful than that of Lu State. Guan Zhong offered a plan to let Duke Huan of Qi wear only the clothes and accessories made by Lu State. The country's production of Lu Jin was respected, and Guan Zhong ordered that no more weaving of clothes and silk production in the country was allowed, and he sent a large number of merchants to the State of Lu...to buy up all the cloth and fabrics of the State of Lu, which made the State of Lu profitable, and publicized among the people that Lu Xi sent Selling in Qi State can make huge profits.
Seeing this, the people of Lu State moved upon hearing the benefits, abandoned their old business, gave up farming, and tried to profit from Lu Jin.
Later, Guan Zhong sent people to spread the news one after another, leading the people of Lu to give up farming, which made the fertile land go to waste. Qi suddenly stopped buying Lu fabrics and cloth, which made Lu fall into the embarrassing situation of no food to eat, so he had to submit to Qi. country.
Bai Qingyan rubbed her fingers, drooping her eyes in meditation...
Now it is not impossible for Bai Jintong to imitate Guan Zhong. If the Great Yan can conquer the Great Wei, the Jin can destroy the Liang, and Xiliang begs for food...the only choice is the Jin and the Great Yan. The Yan is not as deep as the Jin, After subduing the fertile soil of Nanyan, they slowed down a little bit, even if they could give Xiliang not many.
But right now the difficulty lies in money!
If there is silver in the treasury, the prince will definitely be close to the emperor's Jiuchongtai.
This matter needs to be put aside for a while, and we can talk about it later when Bai Jintong finds out the situation in Xiliang.
She told Nanny Tong: "Mommy, you send someone to call Shanru back, I have something to see him."
"Yes!" Tong Nanny responded, and went out to send someone to call Zeng Shanru.
Bai Qingyan glanced at the toner that Bai Jintong brought back, and the recipe for making iron with toner. Just as Chuntao asked Chuntao to put away the recipe for making iron with toner, she heard that Lu Ping was coming. The gatekeeper woman outside the yard reported.
"Chuntao, go and invite Uncle Ping in..." Bai Qing straightened her clothes and turned to look out the window.
Not long after, Chuntao came in with Lu Ping, who was walking like a breeze. Lu Ping saluted through the screen and said, "Miss, the guard named Yueshi next to Mr. Xiao was alone and on his own. Damn, shouting Doctor Hong, the subordinates have ordered Yueshi to be placed in the wing room, and let Doctor Hong go and have a look!"
Bai Qingyan's hand on the table suddenly tightened, could it be that something happened to Xiao Rongyan? !
"Is there a way to temporarily wake up Yue Shi..." Bai Qingyan stopped talking, got up and said, "I'll go and see."
You have to know what happened to Xiao Rongyan.
"Miss, you are still 'sick'. If you go to the front yard, it is easy to be told to the prince. Don't worry, my subordinates have explained to Dr. Hong. If there is any news, someone will report it immediately!" Lu Ping hastily road.
Bai Qingyan's palms tightened. The news she got was that Lord Dayan Nine defeated Xiliang in Long'an, forcing Xiliang's army to retreat.
