"Then Mr. Lao will plan for me. If this king succeeds, he will be the prime minister of the new dynasty. As long as I am here, my husband will be there!"
Liu Bi gritted his teeth and finally made up his mind.
"Don't worry, Your Majesty. Your Majesty, now you have what everyone expects. If your Majesty's big event comes true this time, I would also like to thank Liu Deng for this brat's reckless behavior!"
Seeing Liu Bi finally making up his mind, Yang Sheng was overjoyed.
"Liu Deng! If I ever rule the world one day, I will cut this kid into pieces to vent my hatred!"
When Liu Deng is mentioned, Liu Bi's teeth itch with hatred. Ever since Liu Deng came to power, the successive attacks have caused Liu Bi to suffer heavy losses.
Until now, Liu Bi has not calmed down, and the situation in the entire Wu Kingdom has taken a turn for the worse. Wu's salt production industry has almost disappeared.
Sitting on a rich bay, but now, they lose thirty cents for every pound of salt they produce...
Liu Bi and the others were all salivating over Liu Deng's salt-making skills.
But so far, hundreds of people have been folded in and out, but no useful clues have been obtained.
The papermaking technique that I finally figured out was improved by that kid and then spread all over the world.
It only takes tens of thousands of dollars to obtain a complete set of papermaking technology and equipment, and the worst paper produced is still one level better than the paper produced in Wu State.
This caused the entire Wu State's papermaking industry to plummet, and the price of paper plummeted all the way. From the original price of fifty guan to one dollar, as of yesterday, the price of paper on the market in Suiyang has fallen below 100 yuan!
The situation in Guangling is even worse. Those merchants who hoard large amounts of paper can only cut their flesh.
It is said that the Xu family, which has suffered the most, has sold out the money for one dollar and five hundred cents today.
Luxuries that were originally only available to princes and noble families have now entered the homes of ordinary people.
Even among the elementary school students popping up all over the country, the children from well-off families have already practiced on paper as soon as they started learning to write.
In just a few months, Liu Bi had smashed millions of dollars into the renovated workshops, and now they have all come to a standstill.
The entire Wu Kingdom is barely surviving by smelting copper and casting money. It is already mid-May.
If it were in previous years, the annual income of Wu State's treasury at this time should have exceeded ten million yuan.
But this year, until now, the total income of the entire Wu Kingdom is less than 3 million yuan.
How could Liu Bi not hate Liu Deng?
After all, the reason why his country of Wu was reduced to what it is today was all thanks to Liu Deng.
"Isn't the man named Li Haomin still in Chang'an City? Send someone to give him a message. He can use the money at his disposal and let him take care of it. This time, Liu Deng cannot let Liu Deng take it easy. Pass!"
The more Liu Bi thought about it, the angrier he became. He suddenly thought of Li Haomin and lowered his voice and said to Yang Sheng.
"No! Just don't worry, Your Majesty. I heard about something a few days ago. I will send him a letter after I write it down. As long as he operates well and has Liu Deng in charge, there will be no way out of Chang'an City!"
Thinking of the repeated humiliation he had suffered in Jinyang City, Yang Sheng now also hated Liu Deng deeply.
"oh?"
Hearing what he said was so mysterious, Liu Bi said in confusion.
"Just a few days ago, someone was in the carriage waiting for Zhou Cheng..."
Although Yang Sheng's voice became softer and softer when he talked about it later, Wu Wang Liu Bi felt as if he had been given a shot of chicken blood all of a sudden, and his whole body became excited instantly.
"Is this true?"
Liu Bi asked excitedly.
"It's absolutely true! Don't worry, Your Majesty. As long as we threaten you, we are not afraid that Marquis Jing will not agree! Since he dares to do such a thing and help us get rid of Liu Deng, what does it matter?"
Yang Sheng said with a sinister smile.
"Sir, you are indeed full of clever ideas, so I'll leave this matter to you, sir!"
Liu Bi was really surprised and happy. If Liu Deng could be killed directly, the country would be leaderless, and it would be much easier to take advantage of the situation.
…
——————————
Liu Deng did not expect that in less than a year, he would go to Chang'an for the third time.
However, compared with the relaxation of the previous two times, this time the atmosphere along the way became extremely heavy.
Except for Liu Deng, almost no one in the entire convoy dared to make any sound.
None of the accompanying guards dared to breathe loudly.
Du Ziteng's mood was even more heavy. He even sat on the horse with his head drooped, looking lifeless.
Liu Deng was secretly amused. Without this chatterbox, the journey would have been much quieter.
But he also knew in his heart that Du Ziteng was worried that his murder of Liu Sui would be exposed and there would be no way to end it.
He could understand this, but whether it was public or private, it was impossible for Liu Deng to see him die.
Otherwise, who else would dare to serve him?
Just when Liu Deng was about to forgive him, the motorcade suddenly stopped.
"what happened?"
Liu Deng asked with some confusion.
"Reporting to your Majesty, someone is lying on the official road, blocking the way. Otherwise, you can go and take a look..."
Du Ziteng's voice was full of weirdness.
"Can't you even handle such a small matter?"
Liu Deng frowned and got out of the carriage, and glanced at Du Ziteng with some displeasure.
"Your Majesty, you will know at a glance..."
Du Ziteng also felt depressed for a while.
Liu Deng was full of doubts. He didn't know what this guy was doing. As he was walking, he suddenly smelled a familiar smell...
The same foot odor, the same sweat odor, the same sloppy appearance, the same jasper gourd...
Coupled with that rogue look, everything seemed so familiar that Liu Deng's expression suddenly became weird.
"You brat, where's my wine? If I can't get this jar of wine today, none of you will be able to leave!"
The old man suddenly became arrogant and pointed at Liu Deng with the jade gourd in his hand.
Liu Deng also didn't expect that this old guy would chase him all the way here because of a bottle of wine. This place is almost to the border of Chang'an. I really don't know what he did in these short few days. Chased here.
"This is because you are old. I have been waiting for you in Jinyang City for so long. We had promised you that we would not wait for you within ten days!"
Liu Deng rolled his eyes and suddenly became interested.
