Chapter 498: An army of ghosts that are good at everything!
Before that, Yao Yun mentioned that he could mobilize 300,000 ghost soldiers and ghost generals. Although everyone had no doubts, they couldn't help but feel a little nervous.
Ghosts have perverse and violent personalities and are extremely difficult to control. Although the senior officials of the Xi Kingdom know that their king is good at controlling ghosts, they are still worried. Therefore, the Xi Kingdom caravan spends a lot of money to buy slaves abroad these days. At the same time, the two elites of the Xi Kingdom
The divisions [Yu Shenjun] and [Fenghuang Division] will also go deep into the wilderness from time to time, conquer the barbarian tribes, and collect them as prisoners of war and slaves.
Because of these considerations, the second elder Wu Tong immediately thought that the king placed his hope on the "labor problem" on the Youxi clan.
However, Yao Yun shook his head.
"Second Elder, the ghost soldiers and ghost generals are enough to develop the land on both sides of the Chishui River. Well, at least the early stage of farming and city construction work is not a problem. As for the Youxi clan people brought by Mr. Jimo, it will take a month at the earliest, and several months if it is slow.
It’s possible, but we can’t wait!”
After hearing this, the second elder Wu Tong and the others nodded in agreement.
Soon, everyone started a heated discussion on how to recruit the Youxi clan members who were about to go to Xi Kingdom. Everyone's views were generally optimistic.
The bald-headed dragon was the most excited. His mind was filled with the touching scene of the Youxi clan members crying and begging to hug Xiguo's lap. At the same time, the picture of the deflated, angry, and crazy Master Jimo appeared vividly in front of his eyes, which made the bald-headed dragon unable to stop.
The more I talk about it, the more excited I get!
Wu Tong and Long Erye are more reserved and reserved, but the smiles at the corners of their mouths prove their mood, which is quite elated!
As for plundering the population and plundering the fortune of the Tiger Kingdom, everyone selectively ignored Tiger Lord's thunderous wrath. No matter how deeply offended he was, it did not affect the depth of Tiger Lord's breakthrough. The Xi Kingdom has the virtuous Bird Phoenix Emperor, and Tiger Lord
Who can do anything!
Although the Deniao Fenghuang will not fight for Xiguo or Yao Yun, if such an old man bullies the young, the Feng Huanghuang will not stand idly by.
Everyone was chatting happily, and the scene was extremely lively for a while, but not long after, Sun Muyue came hand in hand with Hu Yi, the manager of the Xiguo caravan, and heard that there was something important to report.
"Your Majesty, the Izumo Kingdom has united with the Mexican Kingdom and the Shanyuan Kingdom to impose sanctions on our country and strictly blockade slaves, food and other goods entering and exiting the Xi Kingdom. This move by the three countries intends to undermine our country's reclamation of wasteland, construction of cities, and arable land on the Chishui River. This is a matter of great concern.
It is so important that I dare not delay, so I will report it to you specifically!"
Although the three great uncles joined forces to deal with Xi State, which was a very important matter, Sun Muyue, the Prime Minister of the country, still remained calm and calm, with the demeanor of a country's Prime Minister.
When Yao Yun and Wu Tong heard this, everyone was immediately shocked, but after thinking about it carefully, everyone felt relieved.
The miraculous rise of the Xi Kingdom is really astonishing, and the pressure and worries it brings to neighboring countries are increasing day by day. It is reasonable for these countries to join forces to suppress and contain the Xi Kingdom.
After the fertile soil and fertile fields on both sides of the Chishui River are developed, how much development Xi State can achieve is not only visible to Xi State, but also to the surrounding countries who pay close attention to Xi State!
Because Xi State has the Virtuous Bird Phoenix Emperor sitting in charge and Xi State's stalls are not large, other countries do not dare to send troops to attack and use force to suppress Xi State, but it is normal to use small means.
Yao Yun was not too surprised. The only thing that made him a little bit sad was that the Mo Kingdom and the Shanyuan Kingdom were also involved. Before that, the Xi Kingdom had a good relationship with these two uncles, and there had never been any serious entanglements between the two sides.
However, in the end everyone went to the opposite side.
It has nothing to do with right or wrong or friendship, it is purely a matter of political stance.
Yao Yun didn't feel resentful because of this, but simply felt a little regretful and emotional.
In this case, when the Xi Kingdom becomes stronger in the future, you will be the first to be destroyed!
Yao Yun sighed secretly in his heart, and then his expression returned to normal. There was no anger, no tension, and no worry. He looked at Sun Muyue and Hu Yi in the hall calmly.
"What's the specific situation?" Yao Yun asked.
"General Manager Hu Yi knows better about this matter. Hu Yi, please report it to the king!"
"Yes, Your Majesty the Prime Minister!" Hu Yi first saluted Sun Muyue, and then bowed to Yao Yun: "Let me tell you, Your Majesty, the situation is not good, not only for our Xi Kingdom's caravans, but also for foreign caravans. Once
When it was discovered that slaves, grain and other goods had entered the Xi Kingdom, the three great uncles forcibly detained them and refused to allow them to cross the border. All the slaves I had purchased in the Dongyi vassal states were detained by the three great uncles!"
The bald dragon frowned: "These three countries are really not human beings. They actually acted like road bullies! Your Majesty, we sent out troops to attack, but the Izumo Kingdom can't defeat it, but the Mo Kingdom and the Shanyuan Kingdom are not our opponents now. We won't teach them a lesson."
, we really can’t be bullied when we are weak!”
Before Yao Yun could speak, Erye Long retorted: "Brother, don't be reckless. If the three countries attack at the same time, they will definitely be in the same boat. If we rush to send troops, we will not get any benefits at that time!"
Wu Tong also nodded: "Second Master's words are reasonable. We cannot act rashly. Izumo and other countries have seized the goods of caravans from various places. This violates the alliance made by the countries in the Southern Wilderness. We can ask the three countries of Chu, Yue and Wu to come forward.
"
Sun Muyue shook her head: "Teacher, you don't know. Although the three great uncles seized the caravan goods, the other party did not rob them. Instead, they purchased slaves, grain and other goods at a fair price. The other party took advantage of the loopholes in the covenant. I'm afraid the Chu State
The other countries will not come forward, after all, they are also afraid of the rise of our Xi country."
"This..." Wu Tong, Bald Long and others were at a loss for words, and some couldn't laugh or cry. It would be bad for the Xi Kingdom to become stronger. It was feared by people everywhere, not just in the Southern Wilderness, but I'm afraid the one in the Imperial Capital was no exception.
.
Yao Yun had just been quietly listening to the discussion. When he saw everyone stuck, he immediately smiled and said: "Xiang Zuo, what is the current grain storage of Xi State? If the three uncles get stuck in our necks, our country's food can survive for a year."
Year and a half."
"Replying to your Majesty, according to your instructions, not a single stone of grain from the Xi Kingdom was purchased this year. In addition, we also purchased some grain from other countries a few days ago. Now the granary is full, enough to last for a year and a half. The only pity is that
Without the ability to purchase slaves, our Chishui River development plan may be affected!"
The bald dragon immediately said: "No problem, the prince has 300,000 ghost soldiers and ghost generals in his hands. Why worry about our country of Xi not having manpower? I thought the matter was so urgent. It turns out that the three countries jointly sanctioned this little thing, and it was difficult at all.
Don’t live in our country of Xi!”
Sun Muyue: "Mr. Long, what you said makes sense. However, the three hundred thousand ghost soldiers are excellent coolies for building cities, but cultivating the land is a bit difficult. Besides, the ghosts are perverse and violent, so I'm afraid no one can control them."
When Yao Yun heard Sun Muyue's words, he felt a little funny in his heart. The ghost soldiers and ghost generals under his command are very obedient. They are easier to control than the most obedient people. They are good at building cities and farming fields, and they work hard without complaining!
"Prime Minister, there is no need to worry, the ghost soldiers and ghosts under Gu's command can handle all tasks!"
