Someone saw Qin Shangzhi and the woman who was all noble and had a guard and used some of the food they ate together. This was surprising. The men from wealthy families or noble families were probably not used to it.
The girl saw this big pot of food as a noble woman, but she didn't dislike her at all, as if she could endure hardships.
Some people already suspect that this is His Majesty from their Great Zhou, but they also think how could His Majesty come here in person?
The emperor should have sat in the golden hall to accept worship from all officials. Even if he went out, he should have followed him. This is how the script was sung in that play.
Having used food with these people and soldiers, Bai Qingyan dipped his mouth with a veil, looked at the soldiers and people sitting in the temporary shed for dinner, and said to Qin Shangzhi: "Give me food to everyone."
If you add some meat, you can’t live without eating meat. If you don’t have enough money, just ask the Ministry of Revenue.”
Qin Shangzhi nodded: "Okay!"
As soon as Qin Shangzhi finished speaking, he saw Xie Yuchang rushing into the dining shed with the report in his hand, panting and handing the bamboo tube that delivered the letter to Bai Qingyan: "Your Majesty, Dengzhou's urgent report!"
Bai Qingyan took the letter tube, took it apart and poured out the letter paper...
Xie Yuchang calmed down his heavy breathing slightly, and according to the words of the sender just now, "At the border between Xiliang and Rongdi, the Dengzhou army clashed with the Tianfeng Kingdom Elephant Army. Our side suffered a total of 36 casualties, and the other side was killed and injured.
There were thirteen people in total, and an elephant was shot blinded by Dengzhou Light Cavalry."
Qin Shangzhi tightened his palms and turned to Bai Qingyan, who was carefully reading the urgent report and his face suddenly fell down: "Your Majesty..."
In the letter, the uncle said that this time was a deliberately provoking by Tianfeng Kingdom, but less than half an hour after the accident, Tianfeng Kingdom Akshay sent his deputy general to the Great Zhou army camp to apologize and put the head of the war elephant.
Not only did he carry it over, he also sent the heads of more than 20 soldiers who came to the border with war elephants to provoke, including the thirteen dead people.
Not only that, Tianfeng Kingdom also gave a generous gift, and twenty war horses, asking for forgiveness, and said... they could bear the pension for the dead soldiers of the Great Zhou Dynasty. The injured and disabled people could be ten times as long as the Great Zhou Dynasty.
Pension compensation.
The attitude of Tianfeng Kingdom made the Great Zhou have no room to hold on. This is the first time that the elephant army of Tianfeng Kingdom fought against each other in the Great Zhou Dynasty. Even the cavalry was vulnerable to the elephant, and the soldiers faced that
The giant creature is helpless even if it is brave. If it really arrives on the battlefield, the elephant will run wildly and it will be difficult to shoot.
Bai Qingyan's hand holding the letter paper tightened, and his heart suddenly became clear.
She rolled up the letter paper she sent from her uncle and lit it with candles on the black painted square table.
Qin Shangzhi looked at the clearly extinct fire, reflecting Bai Qingyan's cold eyes lightly and darkly, tightening his palms, and lowering his eyes to meditate. It may take time for the news to be sent here from Dengzhou.
The alliances of several countries were proposed by Tianfeng Kingdom and Xiliang. Don’t the generals of Tianfeng Kingdom know? Why do you do such a thing at the entrance of several countries?
Bai Qingyan looked at the almost burned piece of paper, and his eyes were full of coldness. In less than half an hour, he could cut off the head of the war elephant that Tianfeng Kingdom was proud of, and without hesitation, he put them on.
The soldiers were given the heads, as well as generous gifts and twenty war horses. They handled them so neatly that they did not even hesitate at all. If they had not prepared in advance, she would never believe it.
She knew... Tianfeng Kingdom was taking action to test the Great Zhou.
Several national alliances were proposed by Tianfeng Kingdom, so at this time, we took a test and pushed the action to the unexpected friction between the two sides. We lowered our posture and gave generous gifts, war elephants, and the soldiers of Tianfeng Kingdom, and we also wanted to
Even if Da Zhou was angry, he wouldn't really fight, and it would still show that they were sincerely determined to establish an alliance.
Tianfeng Kingdom handled it so neatly, I think... I have used this method to test the strength of other countries and make a plan to conquer.
The uncle also said in his letter that the Tianfeng Kingdom recently collected grain and grass at a high price on the border of the Great Peripheral. Many grain merchants blocked Qiushan Pass because Bai Qingqi blocked Qiushan Pass and did not allow food to leave Qiushan Pass. They turned around to trade with Rongdi and Tianfeng Kingdom.
Fengguo's bid was extremely high, and he was collecting food at all costs.
It is normal for a businessman to pursue profits.
I guess... there were also grain merchants who delivered the grain to Yan State, and then sent the grain to Xiliang from Yan State, which had not closed the business road to Xiliang, and sold it to Xiliang at a high price.
"Where is the person sent by my uncle to deliver the letter?" Bai Qingyan asked.
"I fainted when I reported it to the person in an emergency. Doctor Hong has already come over to see it!" Xie Yuchang said.
"Qingzhu, pick a few people, go to Dengzhou immediately and tell my uncle... there is no need to stop the grain merchants from selling grain. Summon the grain merchants and tell them that if they want to make profits, they need to limit the amount of grain sold to Tianfeng Kingdom every day.
And any grain sold to Tianfeng Kingdom will increase by 20 times the current price of the grain collected by Tianfeng Kingdom..."
"Yes!" Shen Qingzhu was about to pick the guards of the Bai family to go...
"Miss Shen, wait!" Xie Yuchang looked at Bai Qingyan in surprise, "Your Majesty, what do you mean is the daily... twenty times the day before?"
"Yes! Let my uncle tell the grain merchants that only when they start to supply food to Tianfeng Kingdom in limited quantities, and the fewer they give to Tianfeng Kingdom...there is the room for price increase! The merchants are pursuing profits...will understand what I said
What it means!”
Tianfeng Kingdom comes from the other end of the snow-capped mountain, and the land in China is severely desertified. Although the grain output can maintain domestic operation and may also have food stored, it cannot withstand the cost of Tianfeng Kingdom's expedition, and the cost of transporting grain is extremely high.
The Tianfeng Kingdom can only be bought from Xiliang, or bought from merchants from Dazhou and Yan Kingdoms...
But if there is any grain in Xiliang, these merchants must have known this a long time ago, otherwise they would not have bypassed Qiushan Pass to transport grain to Xiliang. The food is rare and expensive, and there is less...there is a reason for the price to rise, and the merchants are very smart.
Now!
"Miss Shen is with Your Majesty, I'll pick someone to deliver the letter!" Xie Yuchang said good words and deeds to Bai Qing and left quickly.
Bai Qingyan stood up, accompanied by Qin Shangzhi, walked along the river embankment for a while, and explained the canal repair to Qin Shangzhi, and was then helped by Shen Qingzhu and Chuntao onto the carriage.
Seeing the pregnant Bai Qingyan's appearance of slimmer than before, Qin Shangzhi tightened his fists and stepped forward and said to Bai Qingyan: "Your Majesty, don't worry, Tianfeng Kingdom is in Rongdi
After the border test was taken, he lowered his attitude to compensate, so what Feng Kingdom wants most today is to take advantage of the situation to gain a foothold, establish diplomatic relations with the Great Zhou and the Great Yan, and then erode step by step. At present, he dare not do anything randomly.
!”
After saying that, Qin Shangzhi felt that Bai Qingyan's mind had probably already understood it, so he pursed his lips and bowed to Bai Qingyan: "Take care!"
