"Mr. Zhang, there are a total of 110,000 taels of silver. I will send them to the camp in your city later!" Zhao Qingsong smiled and said to Zhang Qingyun: "Xiliang City is really getting stronger day by day. In the past, it was only six or seven times a month.
The goods worth ten thousand taels have now reached 110,000 taels. If Xiliang City officially unifies the area around Xuanshui Lake, the volume of goods in one month may reach 200,000 taels!"
Zhang Qingyun took a sip of tea and said: "The more goods we transport, the more you will earn, right? Look at the goods of that chamber of commerce in the town now, which are more goods than the goods of your Qingye Xuan.
Maybe after we incorporate the entire area around Xuanshui Lake into Xiliang City, you will be the only chamber of commerce left in this town!"
There are many small factions around Xuanshui Lake, nearly a hundred of them. These factions are the main source of supplies for most chambers of commerce in the town. In cities in the north and south of the wilderness, their main product is yuan ore.
The value of the Yuan Mine is more precious than the things here in Xuanshui Lake, but mosquito meat is still a piece of meat no matter how small it is. Moreover, as long as the supplies on the Xuanshui Lake side are done well, the annual income will not be less than that of a Yuan Mine.
.
Relying on his relationship with Xiliang City, Zhao Qingsong has now become the supervisor of Qingye Xuan in the town. In the eyes of these chambers of commerce, as long as you can make the chamber of commerce make money, it is not a problem for you to be promoted quickly.
Xiliang City can give Qingye Xuan a lot of things, such as spiritual bamboos, medicinal materials, spiritual fish...etc., as long as there is something around Xuanshui Lake, Xiliang City will have it!
Every month, Xiliang City transports a large amount of silver from the town. No one knows what Xiliang City needs so much silver for, and no one cares about it. It has nothing to do with them anyway.
Some small forces are still looking forward to the expansion of Xiliang City and annexing them into Xiliang City.
They will not take the initiative to go there, but they will not resist if Xiliang is annexed. They only want an identity of Xiliang.
Zhang Qingyun had just returned to the small town compound after the transaction when he received news from the north that the Qing army had retreated and Xiliang City had occupied one Yuan mine and one iron mine. He became much more stable, with a look on his face.
He couldn't help but smile.
Charlie had just returned from a large shopping trip when she saw Zhang Qingyun smiling from the bottom of his heart with a confused look on his face: "Manager Zhang, what can make you smile so happily!"
"The army has won!" Zhang Qingyun laughed and said: "My Lord defeated the main force of the Qing Army and captured a Yuan Mine and an Iron Mine.
Starting today, our Xiliang army will officially intervene in the wilderness!"
"Did you really grab it?" That's what the Yuan Mine is called in the East, and in the West it's called the Magic Crystal Mine. Charlie knows the value of the crystal mine very well. In their Western world, only the top forces own this mineral vein.
She also used crystals to practice, which was three or four times faster than usual!
After Xiliang City has such a magic crystal mine, with the training speed of the big men in Xiliang City, the strength of the Xiliang army will be greatly improved.
There are crystal mines to assist in training, monsters in the dark world to train soldiers, and an iron ore that can be mined to create weapons.
The era of the Xiliang army has really arrived!
"Let's go back to Xiliang City!"
....
Xiliangcheng
Li Xiang lay on the armchair, basking in the sun as much as he could. He ate and slept in the open air every day on the loess land. He didn't feel anything at the time. After he rested, he felt really tired.
Li Jin, who had been staying in Xiliang City, was thrown to Yuankuang as a guard, leaving Li Jin with 3,000 Xiliang headquarters soldiers and 6,000 new soldiers.
Ji Mo and Lou Fan soldiers are sent back to Beixuan City, where they will receive the training methods of Xiliang City soldiers.
Ji Mo and Lou Fan soldiers are both good at cultivation, but they don't know how to cooperate on the battlefield. After the training is completed, they will join forces with the soldiers of the Seventh Legion to form the Seventh Legion of Xiliang City.
"Lord, this is what you want!" The guard soldier brought a book and put it on the table.
Daqianji!
Li Xiang picked it up and read it with gusto. This was a book he bought the last time he went to a small town. The book records the customs and customs of most places in Daqian. Such a book cost the price of an archer. Come down.
There were better books in the Imperial Capital, but unfortunately he didn't realize the importance of those books at the time. Now he can only buy a few books and read them, and wait for a chance to pick up a few when he comes to the Imperial Capital in the future.
It is really pleasant to bask in the sun and look at it. The fatigue on your body goes away, and you are immersed in the world of books.
He will not move again for the next month. He will go back and forth between Xiliang City and Juhu City. He thought that at the end of winter, Xiliang City would be able to enter the next era. Unfortunately, he thought too much!
Just when the sky collapsed yesterday, the population of Xiliang City met the conditions for upgrading. The town center was being upgraded. Chen Huaihe was in Xiliang City receiving the upgrade of Xiliang City. He had been preparing for this moment for a long time.
After this upgrade, the military system of Xiliang City has come to the forefront. Before, there were only three arms, swordsmen, archers and spearmen. Xiliang City relied on these three arms to stand firm outside the Northwest Pass. After the upgrade, Wait for the Xiliang soldiers to complete their transformation and upgrade to a higher-level unit.
Li Xiang felt that the area outside the Northwest Pass should also be unified!
After the army is upgraded, wherever the tens of thousands of troops are placed, Li Xiang has no fear of Xuantian Sect, and there is a top master in Beixuan City who owes him a favor, Qingsong Laodao.
The power of the sect behind Qingsong Old Taoist is not necessarily worse than that of Xuantian Sect. He does not need Qingsong Old Taoist to take action, he only needs the other party to show his face.
Xuantian Sect cannot take action, Li Xiang does not think Qingjun is his opponent!
When Xiliang City moved, there was a lot of excitement outside the Northwest Pass. Xiliang City remained motionless, but outside the Northwest Pass, no force started a fight. Everyone seemed to have changed their temper.
After Zhang Qingyun took Xia Li back to Xiliang City to stay for a while, he took Xia Li back to Qingzhu Village. Li Yi was in charge and Zhang Qingyun was in charge. It was Zhang Qingyun's job to annex the surrounding forces of Qingzhu Village.
Time passed little by little. It was peaceful outside the Northwest Pass, but it was different over there in Daqian. The ferocious beasts moved south, massacres occurred on the grassland, and the development of the White Lotus Sect in the south made the Daqian court full of quarrels every day. There were also battles between various factions. It's out in the open.
Some people advocate going south to quell the White Lotus Rebellion first, while others advocate solving the livelihood problems of the civilians in the North first...
The old emperor began to lose control of the court. He looked at the people below and realized that if he had been ten years ago, no, five years ago, he would have solved the problem.
He was really tired now. The cold winter had made his already weak body even more weak.
Looking at the row of generals, most of those people were the same age as him. Now he has gray hair, but those people still have black hair. This is a choice.
"Quiet!" The emperor made a small voice, and the ministers who were arguing endlessly below suddenly fell silent. Everyone looked at the old man on the throne.
The emperor looked at the white-haired old man who was the first general and said: "Captain, who should the White Lotus Sect send to the south?"
After the emperor finished speaking, everyone in the civil servant group looked at the person who was ranked first among the generals.
The old man was also a little surprised. He thought for a moment and said, "Any of the five major generals can do it!"
"Five generals!" The old emperor looked at the middle-aged man in second place: "Li Zhen, how about you go?"
Just as the middle-aged man was about to stand up, a middle-aged man stood up from among the civil servants: "Your Majesty, the southwest battlefield has just been stabilized. Changing generals before a battle is a taboo for military strategists, for fear of something big happening!"
Several civil servants from behind also stood up and echoed. When Li Zhen saw those civil servants, a trace of helplessness flashed in his eyes. The old emperor chuckled: "Changing generals on the battlefield, fear of big trouble? I ask you, how many counties have been lost in the south?"
"The four counties have lost the most land since the founding of Daqian. Even when the Northern Barbarians moved south, Daqian had never lost so much land!"
The few ministers who spoke suddenly did not dare to say anything. The people who went south were selected by them. They all obviously had some talents, but for some reason they could not defeat the remnants of the White Lotus Sect.
"Your Majesty, calm down!" The Taiwei stood up and said, "The southwest battlefield is adjacent to the demon tribe. Behind the White Lotus Sect stands the demon tribe. Now the southwest battlefield is no longer a battle between me and the White Lotus Sect, but between me and the demon tribe. battle!"
"Report!"
At this moment, a man carrying several banners strode from outside. No one stopped him along the way. He rushed into the hall and knelt on the ground: "Your Majesty, the grassland people have rebelled and re-established the Khanate!"
"What?"
The entire hall was like a stone falling on the calm lake. The generals were interviewed solemnly. They had mentioned the rebellion on the grassland to the emperor before, but he didn't listen.
The rebellion of the grassland people may not be a bad thing for them. For several generations, the emperors have been vigorously suppressing their military generals and re-employing civilian officials. Although the rebellion between the north and the south this time is a bit serious, the roots of Daqian are not rotten yet, so they can take advantage of this opportunity. , reorganize it, those forces in the arena should also be pruned!
Over the thousands of years since the Great Qian Dynasty, there have been several troughs, but after the troughs, it will return to its peak.
As generals who have been with Daqian since its establishment, no one understands the power of the Daqian royal family better than them. The royal family dominates the entire world. Each emperor has countless heirs. There are only a few who may compete for the throne. The rest Where have they all gone?
The royal family has the best and most resources in the world. No one knows how many masters the Daqian royal family hides. How could a dynasty that has been in existence for thousands of years exist for so long without any trump cards?
The generals were quietly waiting for the old emperor's orders. Many of the civil servants looked pale. Some of them had sworn that the grassland would not rebel, but now!
The White Lotus Sect in the southwest pales in comparison to the grassland people in the north!
A terrifying aura arose from the old emperor. Emperor Daqian was not only the emperor, but also the number one master. However, this number one master would not survive for too long.
"Order Lieutenant Chi Jing to go south to pacify the White Lotus Sect, and Li Zhen to go north to stabilize the situation for me!" The old emperor issued two orders in one breath, and his whole body became extremely weak: "Let the prince come back!"
The generals looked at the old emperor above. He was responsible for the power of a country. When a country is prosperous, people are strong. But when a country is weak, something has happened...
.....
"Mom, brother has sent something again, lots and lots of things!" Li Ya trotted to the small yard. Ever since she received the news from Li Xiang, Li Ya was looking forward to news from her brother. After a few months, she finally received the news again.
Already.
There was a lot of supplies sent back this time, as well as a large amount of yuan stones. As long as there were supplies outside the Northwest Pass, Li Xiang sent back some.
There was a long queue outside the yard of Li Ya and her daughter. Large boxes of supplies were placed in the yard. Fortunately, the yard was big enough.
Li Zhen rode back and frowned when he saw a long queue in the distance: "What is this?"
The servant guarding the gate ran over and said, "It was a gift from someone from the Fish and Dragon Chamber of Commerce. It was said to be from Mr. Li, Miss Li Ya and brother!"
"Li Xiang?" Li Zhen frowned and strode to the study: "How is Li Xiang doing now?"
A dark figure stood up: "Master Li Xiang, now the lord of Xiliang City!"
Li Zhen frowned: "What is the Lord of Xiliang City? And what is Xiliang City?"
"Xiliang City is located beyond Xuanshui Lake outside the Northwest Pass, in the forest of ferocious beasts. It was built the year before last when Master Li entered the cold winter outside the Pass!"
"Master Li is the lord of Xiliang City. Xiliang City has been expanding since its establishment. Master Li first defeated Hei Hu, a disciple of the Yixing Sect, and merged Black Tiger's city into it. Then he attacked the White Lotus Sect and
The White Lotus Sect took control of the territory outside the pass.
Later, he fought with the Xuantian Sect in Xuanzhai outside the Pass, killing thousands of people, and a member of the Ouyang family of the Xuantian Sect was killed on the spot!"
"Xiliang City now occupies a county, holds a Yuan mine and two iron mines. The population in the city has exceeded 150,000, and it has 40,000 to 50,000 soldiers. Its strength should reach the first-class level!"
"Huh?" Li Zhen couldn't believe it. The shadow seemed to sense Li Zhen's disbelief and continued: "Mr. Li Xianggong accidentally ate a genius treasure outside the Northwest Pass. Now Mr. Li is more than nine feet tall.
He was extremely powerful and wielded a weapon called Fangtian Painted Halberd. He was invincible on the battlefield. Because he killed too many enemies, he was nicknamed "Slaughter" by outsiders in the Northwest Pass!
Each of his officers is eight feet tall, burly and powerful. The Xiliang Army that has been formed has no rivals outside the Northwest Pass for the time being. It defeated the young army of Lord Zhou Hangjie some time ago!"
"This is certain information, and there are some unconfirmed information. Mr. Li is very likely to find a way to the Western world. Someone once saw a Western woman following Mr. Li. The Western woman looked very respectful.
It can be ruled out that the young master is being controlled. Xiliang City, controlled by Mr. Li Xiang, sells a large amount of materials in exchange for silver every month because it is related to the Western world!"
Li Zhen felt his head hurt: "So, my son is now a successful man outside the Northwest Pass? Do you know who is standing behind him? The Yulong Gang?"
The black shadow shook his head: "We still don't know the forces behind the young master. The Great Wall Legion and the young master should have a cooperative relationship. The Yulong Gang only came into contact later."
"Continue to investigate for me!" Li Zhen rubbed his temples: "And pay attention to the East Palace!"
