After Xuanwei left, Mu Qinxue said weakly: "My grandfather is very serious in the military, but outside of the military, well... if there are any unexpected words or deeds, you have to bear with me?"
Liang Xiao was stunned: "What is the specific way to surprise someone?"
"Anyway, it's... very unexpected~"
Liang Xiao smiled half-heartedly, looking at Mu Qinxue's squirming appearance.
Didn't this girl realize that she was quite unexpected?
When Mu Qinxue met Liang Xiao's gaze, she couldn't help but blush, and said no more.
However, the old Marquis Ding was indeed worthy of his respect.
The reason why Youzhou Biejia Gongyangte did not dare to be too rampant was because Marquis Dingguo personally led troops to guard Jixian, the capital of Youzhou.
Otherwise, if he kills Gong Yangte's beloved son Gong Yanglei, there is no way that the other party will not come to Yanzhou to cause trouble.
Youzhou, Ji County, in the courtyard south of the northern military camp.
Mu Lingxiao looked at the official document in hand with excitement on his face.
The woman sitting opposite her was gentle and charming, with a smile on her face and eyes, looking at Mu Lingxiao lovingly, she was so beautiful and soft.
Aqi, the most talented woman in Liaodong.
"Madam! Our future brother-in-law has a lot of trouble. Yanzhou is so chaotic, and he has to bring things back to order!" Mu Lingxiao slammed the table, blushing with excitement.
"Oh, I have heard that the Marquis of Lanling is already recognized as the Immortal Poet of the Great Zhou Dynasty at a young age." A Qi said politely, but in fact he looked unconcerned.
"However, Xiaoxue marrying such a man must be a match made in heaven." Speaking of Mu Qinxue, Aqi immediately cheered up, his eyes full of tenderness, like a loving mother.
Mu Lingxiao, on the other hand, was originally in high spirits, but now his eyes had turned into dead fish eyes: "It must be Liang Xiao's misfortune. My sister has perfectly inherited my grandma, she is extremely powerful, and she also has violent tendencies, but she just hides them well..."
But soon, he met the gaze of his beloved wife.
Her eyes were gentle, but they made Mu Lingxiao feel on pins and needles.
"Xiaoxue is so cute~" Aqi said seriously.
"Is it cute?" Mu Lingxiao frowned.
"Isn't it cute?" Aqi asked back, leaning slightly closer.
Mu Lingxiao's expression changed, and she nodded like a chicken pecking rice: "Cute! My sister is the cutest..."
A Qi finally smiled happily, and thousands of flowers bloomed, but they couldn't match her beauty.
At noon, a Guanlong caravan also came to visit the prefect's mansion.
Qin Baili learned that the other party was appointed by the Guanlong nobles, and immediately sent someone to notify Liang Xiao.
Liang Xiao was in the yard, listening to Mu Qinxue playing the piano with the girls. He was very comfortable. When he suddenly received a notice, he could only regretfully stop and rush to the lobby.
In the lobby, the caravan representative Chang Feng and others were quite anxious.
When Liang Xiao entered, Chang Feng immediately stood up and said anxiously: "Marquis Lanling, on behalf of the Guanlong Chang family, the Lin family, and the Wang family, I am here to visit. I hope to talk to you about Yanzhou business."
After Liang Xiao invited the other party to sit down, he asked for details.
The Guanlong nobles, represented by the three strongest families, this time represented by Chang Feng of the Chang family, were fully responsible for trade matters.
The Guanlong nobles hoped to expand business in Yanzhou and operate it legally, but it did not involve rice, salt, and iron. At the same time, they were willing to sell some ordinary military horses to Yanzhou.
There are also horse farms to the west of Guanlong, which are rich in military horses, but they are not easily sold outside. They even buy high-quality horses from horse dealers in the Western Regions.
Liang Xiao successively obtained tens of thousands of military horses from horse dealers in the Western Regions, but this does not mean that there is no shortage of military horses in the Great Zhou Dynasty.
On the contrary, twice as many war horses are needed, preferably heavy war horses.
Many of the horses and horses of the Zhou imperial court and the Bashu army were purchased from the Guanlong area.
It can be said that the Guanlong nobles are willing to sell their military horses, which is a great deal of face.
It may be the first time that someone comes to sell military horses on his own initiative, so it is of great significance.
Because the buyers are not only the Zhou Dynasty and Bashu, but the number of military horses is limited. Selling to Yanzhou means that other buyers will purchase less...
"Mr. Chang, please stay here for a moment. I need to discuss this matter with my colleagues."
After Liang Xiao left Chang Feng behind, he summoned everyone to the side hall to inquire.
"Why do you think Guanlong took the initiative to sell military horses? Is it because the number of military horses is overflowing, or..."
Lin Xiu was the first to speak: "Guanlong's military horses have never been overflowing. After all, the imperial court's annual demand is not small. If there are no horse merchants in the Western Regions, it may not be enough for the Guanlong nobles to supply the imperial court."
"I also think that this is the Guanlong noble's initiative to show their goodwill. The other party seems to have expected that Marquis Lanling wants to form a cavalry. After all, you have acquired many good horses from the Western Regions. This kind of thing cannot be hidden." Qin Xun agreed. , and speculated, "I believe that Marquis Lanling also suspects that the horses of the rebel rangers in northern Hebei may have been provided by Guanlong nobles and horse dealers in the Western Regions."
Qin Baili glanced at Qin Xun meaningfully and said: "It's not impossible! In short, the Guanlong nobles took the initiative to sell horses, which is beneficial to Lanlinghou. After all, the initiative lies in Lanlinghou's hands."
"But I recently purchased a lot of military horses for the imperial court. It cost a lot to buy back farmland. Purchasing these military horses again will put a lot of pressure on the imperial court."
Qin Xun reminded: "If the Marquis of Dingguo also supports this matter, there will be no problem. It is urgent to fight against the Beihu. After all, the Shanyu of the Beihu proclaims himself emperor, and he must go south to invade our country in order to establish authority among the Beihu tribes."
Everyone looked at Qin Xun approvingly, and all expressed their agreement.
Liang Xiao glanced at Qin Xun and said with a smile, "That makes sense."
After everyone came back, Liang Xiao said to Chang Feng: "How many of these military horses are there? Can they be kept for Yanzhou?"
"Four thousand horses are available for cavalry, but there are still 3,500 horses left at Guanlong Racecourse, which can be reserved for Marquis Lanling!" Chang Feng answered with a very strong tone in the last sentence for emphasis.
Liang Xiao nodded and said: "If there is no problem with the five hundred horses, Yanzhou will take it. The other three thousand five hundred horses will wait for approval from the superiors. In addition, Yanzhou welcomes you to invest in industry, revitalize the economy, and achieve mutual benefit. "
Chang Feng finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Liang Xiao asked again: "I wonder who in Guanlong proposed to trade with me in Yanzhou?"
Chang Feng said bluntly: "Young master of the Lin family, Lin Shi!"
Everyone was stunned.
The Guanlong Lin family is the main think tank among the Guanlong nobles.
After sending Chang Feng away, Lin Xiu said happily: "Congratulations to the Marquis of Lanling! Guanlong took the initiative to engage in trade and is bound to our interests in Yanzhou. This is an excellent signal. Either there is a situation in Guanlong itself, or Beihu is attacking Guanlong." The pressure in the Long area has increased sharply!"
Liang Xiao smiled and nodded, thoughtfully.
Guanlong is quite far away from Yanzhou, and he cannot understand the local situation in real time.
None of the other party's business projects involve the vitality of the people, so they are obviously sincere.
At the moment, it is still necessary to make good friends with the Guanlong nobles and concentrate on dealing with Beihu and domestic rebels.
The land of Bashu.
The young heroes sent by the Guanlong nobles to support the Gongsun family have been in Shu for many days.
