Qingyang Shuo paused and continued: "Wei Tiezhu!"
"The official is here!"
"Inform the weapons shop to make a batch of sophisticated weapons as soon as possible and hand them over to General Zheng in three days!"
"yes!"
Qingyang Shuo gave the order, and the entire Yintan City became busy.
Hu Xier played another game of chess for Qingyang Shuo.
Qingyang Shuo smiled lightly and said, "Can't you bear it a little bit?"
Hu Xier snorted lightly: "I don't have any, let's play chess and play chess!"
Qingyang Shuo shook his head: "Well, Zhang Xiao is known as the most talented woman in Longyan. In the early years, you were so angry and resentful. Haha, you are not interested in going to the meeting for a while?"
Hu Xier glared at her father angrily and snorted: "If I really want to compete with her, doesn't it mean that I'm not as good as her?"
Qingyang Shuo said, holding a son in his hand, he dropped it gently and said calmly: "Baiya and his party will decide whether the young master can really become famous all over the world. Are you really not going to help?"
When Hu Xier heard about Liu Zheng, her eyes were a little dodgey: "I, I, I...who cares about his life and death? If he can't get over this hurdle, how can he be worth daddy's help?"
Qingyang Shuo laughed: "If he must do everything personally, why does he need you and me?"
Hu Xier's delicate body trembled, and she pursed her lips in thought.
Qingyang Shuo said: "This Baiya Prefecture seems to be a game that Zhang Xiao has been planning. The young master is a variable..."
He suddenly looked at Hu Xier: "What will happen if something changes that you are sure of?"
Hu Xier's pretty face changed: "Dad, are you saying that that bastard is in danger? How is this possible? Thirty thousand troops are still outside the city..."
"What if it wasn't the prefect's fault?"
"Xie'er, where is the leader of the White Cliff Army now?"
Hu Xier's face turned pale and she stood up quickly.
…
Yang Ke drank a few glasses of wine, and his face turned red. He watched him having fun with these brothers, and then sat down next to Liu Zheng and whispered: "Master, how should we solve Baiya's current predicament? Master will decide." Teach me!"
Liu Zheng was stunned for a moment, and then he realized that Yang Ke's position as the first and second strategist of the White Cliff Army was definitely not for nothing.
In fact, he had long seen the many contradictions faced by the White Cliff Army.
There are internal and external troubles, but this guy, who is known as the first think tank of the White Cliff Army, really has no solution.
As the saying goes, it takes a day to freeze three feet. The current Baiya Army has reached its current situation step by step.
Liu Zheng chuckled and said, "Although I don't know who Zhang Xiao is, looking at this woman's step-by-step corruption of ideology and then the White Cliff Army, this woman is definitely not a good person!"
"Ideology?"
Yang Ke was a little confused.
Liu Zheng nodded.
This is the ingenuity of this prefecture. During the strong period of the White Ya Army, they chose to stay away, and even became willing to be puppets, allowing the White Ya Army to become powerful. In the most serious case, the Baiya army had 70,000 soldiers, while the Taishou Mansion had only 20,000 soldiers.
However, it was obvious that Zhang Xiao had come up with an extremely ingenious method.
That is, delegate power to the Baiya Army!
Don’t you want to rule Baiya?
for you!
Including taxes for you too!
Then, city construction is also left to you!
At this time, Baiyajun, who suddenly rose from the wilderness to become the master of a city, was actually very ambitious. However, this is where they begin to fall into the abyss...
How can a bunch of reckless heroes be able to handle urban construction, military and political balance, revenue and expenditure, and the aspirations of the people?
At this time, the generosity issue mentioned before began to appear.
When the Baiya Army first gained power, it naturally benefited the people. They opened granaries, built roads and houses, and squandered the Baiya Army's money.
The people were very happy at first.
But slowly, this excessive expenditure began to give Baiya Army a headache. What will they do in this situation? Suddenly become stingy? That obviously won't work, and the people will be unhappy. This is what the so-called Dou Mien and Shengmi Enqi are talking about.
Last year you gave the people of Baiya two taels of silver per person.
This year it will be one or two, so fine. If the year is bad, forget it.
As a result, you don’t want to give us one tael next year, and you want to tax us one tael!
Can the people be willing?
At this time, if you stand up and tell them about the roads you built, the walls you built, and the cities you built, who among them will understand you?
Generosity has naturally become a bad virtue.
However, coupled with the psychological changes of the more than one hundred "heroes" of the Baiya Army, they were corrupted by luxury. Why can't they enjoy the days that come with life and death and struggle?
Get away from the masses.
What else are you playing now?
Liu Zheng chuckled and said: "Second Master, if my guess is correct, this palace must have been given to the Baiya Army by the Prefect's Mansion, right?"
Yang Ke smiled bitterly: "Young master is indeed a great talent, he hit the nail on the head! I also tried to persuade the master back then, but it was just, hey..."
Liu Zheng glanced at him and smiled without saying a word.
It seems that the inside of the Baiya Army is not monolithic.
"Sir, can we take a moment to talk?"
At this time, Yang Ke had completely lost interest in eating, drinking and enjoying, so he and Liu Zheng left here and came to the guest room prepared by Baiya Army for Liu Zheng.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he entered, Yang Ke knelt down and cried bitterly: "Sir, save my Baiya Army!"
Liu Zheng was shocked and quickly helped him up: "The second master must not do this!"
But Yang Ke couldn't afford it, shook his head and cried: "Master, Yang Ke is stupid, and there is really nothing he can do. Over the years, I have been trying to find ways to balance the relationship with the prefect's mansion and the people... But now, now... …It’s really Yang Ke’s fault!”
As he spoke, Yang Ke was already crying and heartbroken.
Liu Zheng was moved in his heart and said: "The second master is serious. Baiya Prefecture is a prosperous state and famous all over the world. Who doesn't know that it is the second master's contribution? It's just..."
Yang Ke was finally helped up by Liu Zheng and laughed at himself: "It's just that in the end, you still fell into that little girl's trap, right?"
Liu Zheng was speechless.
How to evaluate this?
Although Yang Ke has great talents, after all, he is not like him, who came back from the later generations, and he is still lacking in some far-sighted issues.
As for Zhang Xiao who engaged in such a situation...
In Liu Zheng's opinion, this was indeed a monster-level existence.
Liu Zheng didn't waste any time and said: "Second leader, no matter what, the matter is over. At least the Baiya Army still has a very solid foundation and dominance in Baiya. Although the current situation is precarious, you have to believe that the people will be easy." It's numb and forms a habit. The White Cliff Army has been established for many years, and the people's desire for change is not strong. Unless something unexpected happens again..."
Yang Ke was stunned for a while, and it took him a long time to understand what Liu Zheng meant.
Immediately I admired Liu Zheng even more.
Liu Zheng smiled bitterly and said: "So, the posture of the Baiya Army this time is very important!"
He looked at Yang Ke and said calmly: "To put it bluntly, the success of this Jockey Club will directly affect whether the people will continue to support the White Cliff Army!"
Yang Ke woke up from his dream and took a deep breath: "What the young master said is absolutely true!"
Now that Baiya Prefecture has developed towards "mercantilism". Then the common people will only care about how much benefit this Jockey Club can bring them! In other words, things have become so straightforward a long time ago - the White Cliff Army cannot make people make money, will they still support the White Cliff Army?
Liu Zheng chuckled: "So, the second boss, the most important thing is whether you can run the Jockey Club well and ensure that the racecourse is still in the hands of the Baiya Army!"
Yang Ke clasped his fists: "Young master hit the nail on the head, Yang Ke is not as good as him!"
Liu Zheng shook his head and said: "I am just a bystander. I guess that if the prefect's mansion really wants to cause some trouble, he will definitely find a way at the venue!"
He emphasized: "The security of the venue must be controlled by the Baiya Army, and the prefect's mansion must not be allowed to interfere!"
"Ah? Master, this..."
"What's wrong?"
Yang Ke raised his head and said, "Tomorrow I will take the young master to the racecourse to have a look!"
Get up the next day.
Yang Ke and Du Biao had come to visit a long time ago. Seeing Liu Zheng washing and tidying up alone, Du Biao couldn't help laughing and said: "Brother Liu, with his status, how can he not have a woman by his side, even a maid!"
Yang Ke also followed suit.
Liu Zheng smiled bitterly and said: "Brothers, please stop playing tricks on Liu Zheng. Come on, go to the racecourse quickly. I really want to see what this world-famous racecourse is like!"
Du Biao looked proud: "The number one racecourse in the world, is it a wasted reputation?"
Half an hour later, Liu Zheng realized that this world-famous racecourse was indeed worthy of its name. At this time, the three of them were standing on a small hill in a grassland. They looked up and saw a piece of grassland connected to the mountains in the distance. Looking up, they saw patches of green that could connect the sky and the earth. And on this grassland, there were countless green grasslands. Unknown big and small war horses! Some were galloping among them, some were grazing leisurely, and some were playing with each other... Liu Zheng was stunned for a moment.
He had thought that this horse farm was very big, but he never thought that it was simply a natural horse farm!
It's indescribably big, and the horses are indescribably many!
If we had to use quantity to measure, at a glance, there were probably at least 100,000 horses! Not to mention the invisible distance!
The best racecourse in the world is indeed unusual!
Du Biao was very satisfied with Liu Zheng's stunned look and laughed loudly: "How is Brother Liu?"
"This, this, this..."
Liu Zheng took a deep breath.
This Baiya Army's horse farm is even much larger than his own Silver Beach City!
Yang Ke smiled bitterly and said: "So, Mr. Liu, this horse farm is so big, how can we protect it during the horse racing meeting? Our Baiya Army only has 20,000 troops left, so we are really powerless!"
Liu Zheng was also dumbfounded.
Unexpectedly, at this moment, a white horse suddenly galloped next to it. It rushed in front of the three of them and did not want to slow down. When it almost hit Liu Zheng, the man on the horse pulled the reins and made the white horse stop. Kankan flashed past Liu Zheng.
Extremely thrilling!
"what are you doing?"
"Wei Rong, how dare you be so rude to Mr. Liu!"
Liu Zheng was startled, and Du Biao and Yang Ke also scolded angrily.
On the white horse, a young man with a face like a crown jewel stared at Liu Zheng with a playful sneer: "The second in charge, is this the Liu Zhoutong who deceives the world and steals his reputation?"
"Thirty thousand troops are approaching the White Cliff. May I ask Liu Zhoutong, what is your intention?"
Liu Zheng narrowed his eyes slightly.
It seems that the situation of the White Cliff Army is slowly developing in a bad direction.
Wei Rong laughed loudly: "By the way, this person was invited by your second boss. Could it be that he is from the second boss? He can't help but want to take the top spot?"
"you……"
"What nonsense are you talking about!"
"presumptuous!"
The two men's words of reprimand had not yet finished.
Unexpectedly, Wei Rong's eyes flashed with murderous intent, and without any reason, the riding whip was about to fall on Liu Zheng's head.
Liu Zheng suddenly cursed in his heart.
I have only been in Baiya for a few days. How many beatings will I have to endure?
