Because Qinzhou and Linyuan had been fighting for several years, Ning Guzhou had already had Linyuan's map drawn.
He unfolded the map and found the place where he dug out the black soil, and the corners of his lips curled up slightly.
Tang Miaoxin knew that he was looking for water, so she asked, "How is it?"
Ning Guzhou smiled: "There is a river less than twenty miles away from here. The grass grows well here, so there should be no shortage of water."
"With fertile land and water sources, Qinzhou's future food supply will be secure."
He was obviously thinking much more than Tang Miaoxin. He immediately called the guard at the door in: "Go and find Mr. Cheng."
Cheng Lixue is following up on the peace talks with Linyuan, so this matter can also be left to Cheng Lixue.
Cheng Lixue came over quickly. He originally wanted to chat a few words, but as soon as he came in, he felt that the atmosphere was not right, so he bowed and said, "What orders does King Qin have?"
Tang Miaoxin glanced at Cheng Lixue, this guy really knows how to read people's faces and knows when to do what.
Except for the failure of provoking her, no matter who he is in front of, if he wants to be serious, he will really be serious.
Ning Guzhou said directly: "Send another letter of credence to Linyuan."
Cheng Lixue was a little surprised: "Does the prince want to add any conditions?"
Ning Guzhou pointed to a large area of land belonging to Linyuan on the map and said: "Compensate all the land south of the Liao River and west of Atu Mountain in Linyuan to Qinzhou."
Cheng Lixue looked at the large piece of land and was startled: "My lord, are you serious?"
Ning Guzhou looked at him and said, "Do you think this king is joking?"
Of course Cheng Lixue could see that he was not joking, but this matter was really big.
After all, the conditions Ning Guzhou offered before had already made the Linyuan people want to go crazy.
Even a Linyuan person would not be able to accept the idea of ceding their land at this time.
Cheng Lixue asked Ning Guzhou: "Why does the prince suddenly want this place?"
Before Ning Guzhou could speak, Tang Miaoxin pointed to the black soil next to him and said, "That's what the prince dug there."
Cheng Lixue saw the black soil when he came in, but he didn't pay much attention just now, thinking it was Tang Miaoxin trying to plant something.
After hearing Tang Miaoxin's words, when he looked at the land, his eyes straightened.
As a time traveler, he knows very well what black land means.
He looked at the map carefully and found that a large area bordered Qinzhou. It was not difficult for Qinzhou to control this area.
He couldn't help but laugh: "This is God blessing Qinzhou! Congratulations, Your Majesty!"
The corners of Ning Guzhou's lips raised slightly, and Cheng Lixue flattered Tang Miaoxin again: "Your Highness is the prince's lucky star."
"If it weren't for His Highness, the prince would not have brought back this black soil, let alone discovered this matter."
Ning Guzhou previously only wanted to scare the people of Linyuan, but did not want the land of Linyuan.
Because in their understanding, although everyone in Linyuan is good at bow and horse, there is nothing here except pasture.
Qinzhou's young people are limited, and they don't want to pay a high price to guard land of little use in order to satisfy the men's ambition to expand the territory.
Because of his childhood experience, Ning Guzhou has always been very pragmatic in these matters and only does things that are good for himself.
Now that he knows that Linyuan has fertile land, Linyuan has a completely different meaning to him.
Linyuan like this is worthy of him sending troops to garrison.
He could build another city there and encourage the people to open up wasteland and farm.
He looked at Tang Miaoxin with tenderness in his eyes: "Miaoxin is indeed my lucky star."
Tang Miaoxin looked at Cheng Lixue and said, "Although you usually can't say a few nice words, today's words are what I really like."
All three of them laughed.
If you want to negotiate with Linyuan to get this land, you need to make some changes to what you originally negotiated with Linyuan, otherwise the Linyuan people will really go crazy.
How to change it is also a technical task and requires some means.
Tang Miaoxin has always known that Cheng Lixue is essentially shameless, and he is extremely good at this kind of thing.
She then said: "Master Cheng, I will leave this matter to you."
"I know that with your intelligence, this matter will be completed well."
Cheng Lixue knew that although there would be some resistance to this matter, it was not too difficult. After all, they had just won a battle.
The current Linyuan peace talks were originally taking advantage of the situation.
He smiled and said: "Don't worry, Your Highness, just leave this matter to me."
If this matter is negotiated, it will definitely go down in history!
He didn't have any big pursuits after time travel, he just wanted to leave his name in history.
Cheng Lixue then asked Ning Guzhou: "What if the Linyuan people are dissatisfied and want to resist?"
Ning Guzhou's eyes showed his own domineering look: "Of course, I will beat them until they surrender. If necessary, I can use fighting to support fighting."
Cheng Lixue was completely relieved after hearing his words, and Ning Guzhou had made up his mind.
He bowed and said, "Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will definitely live up to my command."
Tang Miaoxin laughed when she heard what he said. He didn't mind and left happily.
While he was walking very fast and thinking about the problem, he accidentally tripped on the threshold and almost fell down.
Cheng Lixue apologized for herself with some embarrassment: "It was an accident!"
When he saw Tang Miaoxin looking at him with a joking expression, he laughed and walked away quickly.
Tang Miaoxin said to Ning Guzhou: "His heart is darkened by fame and wealth, so there is no way he can deserve the title of a great scholar in the world!"
Ning Guzhou had a different view than her: "He likes fame and wealth, but he also has his own bottom line."
"If he had no bottom line, he would not leave Dayan. There will always be good things in this life. It doesn't matter if he likes these things."
"On the contrary, I am afraid of those officials who have no desires and seek nothing, and are waiting to die. People with ability and ambition are always particularly respected."
Tang Miaoxin asked with a smile: "Do you call Cheng Lixue an ambitious person?"
Ning Guzhou nodded: "Of course, it's just that his ambition is more realistic. I think it's pretty good."
Tang Miaoxin felt that Ning Guzhou was doing a better job of hiring people than she was, so she said from the bottom of her heart: "I think you are more suitable to be the emperor than me."
"I'm used to being idle, and I don't have the patience to deal with these trivial and annoying things."
Ning Guzhou gently held her hand and said, "No matter what position you and I will sit in in the future, I will always be by your side."
The corners of Tang Miaoxin's lips rose. She thought of another thing and said, "Let Cheng Lixue talk about it first."
"It's best if we can reach an agreement. If we can't reach an agreement, I have ways to deal with the matter."
Ning Guzhou knew that she was always resourceful and clever when it came to dealing with people, and he was ashamed of her.
