After struggling a lot, he was hungry and his energy was exhausted, so Zhuang Xun finally got up.
After eating some pastries, I took a comfortable bath and was dressed by Si Qinmi.
It was still early, so I brought some small gifts and prepared to visit Jiang Xiannuo, who had taken care of Si Qinmi, to thank her for taking care of her.
"This Mrs. Jiang is very powerful. She is a big businessman in various countries. She donated a Taoist temple to King Cheng, and was granted the title of second-grade imperial concubine by King Cheng."
Si Qinmi talked about the news she had heard. She had a keen sense of knowing the subtleties. She could tell what was true and what was false very quickly when she heard the news.
"It's quite impressive. Those who donated a Taoist temple can get this kind of reward." Zhuang Xun is no longer the novice he was before, and he has almost mastered the basic honors of official ranks.
"If you can let King Cheng make her the second-grade imperial concubine, you will know how much she donated to the gym satisfied King Cheng." Seeing that Zhuang Xun didn't understand what he meant, Si Qinmi continued.
"Her financial resources are far beyond your imagination, Mr. Lang. It's an honor for him that she likes Mr. Lang. Maybe we can do more." Si Qinmi said it directly, but it was a pity that Zhuang Xun couldn't understand.
"What to do? What more needs to be done?" Zhuang Xun was puzzled and had no idea what Si Qin Mi meant.
"No matter what the outcome of this negotiation is, Lang Jun can be managed together. Lang Jun's foundation is weak. Since Mrs. Jiang secretly wants to help, Lang Jun might as well take the initiative to ask for it." Si Qinmi crushed the words into pieces, and Zhuang Xun Finally I understand, attract investment.
"But I'm not a strange person, right? People just recommended Xiaolian on a whim. Now I'm asking for support from others. Isn't it a bit confusing?"
Looking at Si Qin Mi who lowered his head to put on the jade pendant for him, he asked the Lunzhuan King and found out that no one knew that he had imperial blood.
And apart from people like Si Qinmi who have received great favor from me, there are a few people who will support me because they have imperial blood.
"Lang Jun, so what if I ask you? Don't you think you can't make me lose face, Lang Jun?" Si Qinmi asked back, with a hint of provocation.
"Of course not, that's right. It doesn't matter if we ask for it. It's just that they may look down on our foundation and future." Zhuang Xun didn't care at all about Si Qinmi's implied motivation. He listened to her, but felt that she I'm joking to myself, I have a plan, but I have no idea at all.
"No, since she admires Langjun, Mrs. Jiang will invest more or less resources as long as Langjun requests. After all, these are just a drop in the bucket for her. Now we have nothing in Jiannan or Hebei. No matter what kind of help it is, it will be useless. need!"
Si Qinmi saw clearly that since Mrs. Jiang admired Zhuang Xun, and Zhuang Xun asked Mrs. Jiang for help, there would definitely be a response.
"But, what if she makes some demands to control us? Although I have not felt Mrs. Jiang's malice so far, I have always been taken care of by her." Zhuang Xun felt like he was being suspicious and maliciously speculating on others when he said this.
"Not to mention that we have to swallow the poisonous wine now. She is unreasonable and we just refuse." As long as it can improve his strength, especially his control over Dao County, Si Qin Mi does not mind giving up some power.
Zhuang Xun's power is too weak. Even if he arranges for his relatives and friends, it will not be able to fill the holes of the county officials. Instead of relatives and friends, it means that loyalty is difficult to guarantee. If more people can be obtained to stabilize Zhuang Xun's governance of Hebei or Jiannan Strength, Si Qin Mi doesn't mind giving up some of his power.
"That's right, I'm such a stupid person, how could I not think of all this in one day!" Zhuang Xun reacted when Si Qin Mi reminded him, and his own thinking was mechanical.
"Lang Jun, you just don't like to trouble others, but if you want to fight for the world, you have to trouble others. I remember that Lang Jun told the story of living with rare goods and visiting the thatched cottage three times." Si Qinmi hung up the jade pendant for Zhuang Xun, stood up slowly, and said: He adjusted his cuffs.
"Talents will not take the initiative to seek refuge, and support cannot come out of thin air. Lang Jun, you are a rare commodity. If you have one, you will have the foundation to compete for the Yu Kingdom. Although the hope is small, it is not impossible!" Siqin Mi said to boost Zhuang Xun's confidence.
"What the lady said is that talents are actively recruited, and support does not come out of thin air. Compared with support from unknown sources, it is better to cooperate with the kind Mrs. Jiang." Zhuang Xun accepted the lesson, and what Si Qinmi said was very interesting. It made sense, so he accepted it.
"As long as you understand, both Hebei and Jiannan Road are currently valuable to Chengguo. I hope they want Jiannan Road and leave Hebei Road to Lang Jun." Si Qinmi said happily, Zhuang The biggest advantage of consulting is that it is done by a professional person and he is not stubborn when he is wrong, except for bed matters.
"Why? Is it because Jiannan is too run-down?" Zhuang Xun had heard He Jung analyze the pros and cons of the two places, but he also wanted to hear Si Qinmi's discussion.
"No, compared to Hebei, I like Jiannan very much. The land of Jiannan Road is fertile and wild for thousands of miles. Taking into account the dangers of mountains and rivers, we can compete for the world's capital. But the biggest problem at present is, can we defend Jiannan Road? "After finishing the cuffs, I started to straighten Zhuang Xun's clothes.
"The current situation of You Kingdom is unknown, but it is obvious that they cannot accept this defeat easily, especially when King You is in an unfair position. He needs Jiannan Road to relieve domestic pressure, just like Cheng Guo has always wanted Yu. The four counties in Hebei and Youguo also have this kind of worry about Jiannan Road. After all, after passing the Lingguan, Youguo has no danger to defend." Si Qinmi frowned, but smoothed the wrinkles on Zhuang Xun's body.
"If we can revive Jiannan Road before His Majesty dies, we can use the dangers of the mountains and rivers to resist. But as you said, Lang Jun, Jiannan is already dead. It is conservatively estimated that it will take five years to recover. When you are angry, you still need help, so every bit of support is extremely important at this moment." Si Qinmi once again emphasized the importance of Mrs. Jiang.
"By guarding Jiannan Road, we can keep hope. At present, the fight between the princes of the Yu Kingdom for the throne is on the table. Only by guarding Jiannan Road can we be qualified to intervene." Si Qinmi sighed slightly, and it was difficult again. ’s start.
For example, the difference between Jiannan Road and Hebei Road is the difference between the later stage and the early stage. Jiannan Road is a place that can become richer and richer as long as it develops, while the upper limit of Hebei Road has been locked, but there are challenges in choosing Jiannan Road. There is no need to consider the risk of being attacked and killed by foreign enemies at any time in Hebei Province.
"I have no choice but to accept it. Madam, you are right. I can't let go of any chance. Do you think my father-in-law will help me?" Zhuang Xun reacted quickly and immediately focused on Li Home.
"What father-in-law? You are quick to react. This would not be good for Sister Li." Si Qinmi said hesitantly. She had also thought about this direction. She was hesitating whether to remind Zhuang Xun, but Zhuang Xun himself first Having said that, she didn't react at first, but when she reacted, she felt it was inappropriate.
"What's not so good? Since Ru Si is going to marry into the family, why don't you bring some dowry? The Li family has a big business, so isn't it normal to give something as a dowry?" Zhuang Xun became a capitalist again at this moment, and his thoughts became more flexible. , once the bottom line is lowered, there will be new ideas.
"You are really, sister Li regrets marrying you. She didn't even ask for a betrothal gift for you, but you are thinking about her dowry." Si Qinmi smiled, unable to say a word of praise in the face of Zhuang Xun's thoughts.
"She was the one who took the initiative. Look, why don't we visit Li Mansion first and ask my father-in-law for help? The only way to win the kingdom in the court is Jiannan Road." Zhuang Xun joked.
He was joking, but Si Qin Mi responded seriously.
"Absolutely not. The visit and proposal of marriage must be completed after the negotiation. General Li is currently jealous of King Cheng and is inconvenient to speak. Besides, it is very inappropriate for General Li to express his opinions on these issues because of the matter between you and Miss Li. The whole Ji already knows very well that not distinguishing between public and private matters is very harmful to people's reputations." Si Qinmi asked Zhuang Xun to give up this idea quickly and stop having such thoughts.
"I know, it's best not to have anything to do with the Li family now, right? This doesn't affect asking them for support after we get Jiannan Road. Maybe we will still be their way out." Zhuang Xun now let go of his thoughts and suddenly felt The bottom line plummeted, and I felt that marrying Li Rusi was a good profit, and I had two fishes to eat, and I also married a hidden rich woman.
"This can be a reason for you to convince your future father-in-law to help you. After dealing with this negotiation first, we can figure out how to marry your sister as your equal wife in a polite and courteous manner." Si Qin Mi solemnly asked the crown of his head, satisfied looked at Zhuang Xun.
"Okay, but shouldn't I deal with Mrs. Jiang first? How should I say my request naturally? What should I get from her, money or materials?" Zhuang Xun was thinking about how to say my request naturally. I have no money and no one. Rich woman, please help me.
"Just say it directly. The old rule is that even if she makes any excessive demands, if you kick the husband once, you will agree, and if you kick him twice, you will object." Seeing Zhuang Xun's worried look, Si Qinmi said consolingly.
She believed that Mrs. Jiang had a reason for treating Zhuang Xun favorably. No matter what the reason was, even if she knew that Zhuang Xun had imperial blood, it didn't matter. As long as she was willing to help Zhuang Xun gain a foothold in his new official position, then All other questions are non-issues.
Mrs. Jiang, who was being discussed by Zhuang and the others, was currently reading information from afar.
The plump and free stretch of her body makes her look intoxicating and graceful, especially her inadvertently exposed white skin, which reveals a bit of jade bones and icy muscles. Her noble face is graceful and gorgeous, and her smile is astonishing.
"Madam, is there any good news from Zhao State?" Lan Qiu looked at Jiang Xiannuo's smile and guessed that something good must have happened in Zhao State.
"This year's grain harvest is abundant again. This is the seventh year." Jiang Xiannuo's smile became fuller.
"Is it worthy for the queen to be so happy?" Lan Qiu still couldn't understand Jiang Xiannuo's happiness. It was just a good harvest of food. As long as the country was in good weather, it didn't seem to be difficult.
Zhao Guo's national fortune is strong, and Jiang Xiannuo is in charge. Isn't it normal to have such results?
"But this is a good harvest for seven consecutive years, and the output is increasing every year. Especially last year and this year, I did not regulate it in Zhao State. Without the help of gods, how could the harvest be possible? This means that there is another god standing behind Zhao State."
The news of a bumper grain harvest did not make Jiang Xiannuo so happy, but it was a happy event to be sure that a god would join the party, and he was also the god of agriculture.
"Congratulations, madam, the unification of Kyushu is just around the corner." Lan Qiu congratulated and said that the more gods there are, the more powerful the country is, and the greater the probability of unifying Kyushu.
"That is, apart from Zhao Guo, I can't think of anyone else who has the ability to unify the nine states." Jiang Xiannuo said proudly. It can be said that Zhao Guo was built by her, and she would certainly feel proud.
"As long as we get out of the dilemma between the two countries, as long as we get out of this predicament, the State of Zhao will come down like a tiger and occupy the entire northern Jiuzhou." Thinking about the State of Zhao after breaking the blockade, Jiang Xiannuo already has a chance to win.
"I will definitely do it, madam. Chengguo and Yuguo defeated Youguo. Do we still want to stay in Jizhou?" Lan Qiu continued to ask.
After all, the purpose of coming to Jizhou before was to prevent Youguo from getting bigger. Now that Youguo has had half of its legs broken, let alone getting bigger, it would be a blessing to be free of civil strife.
"Why are you going back to Zhao Kingdom?" Jiang Xiannuo put down the information and couldn't help but pick it up and read it.
"Aren't you going back to Zhao? Why?" Lan Qiu was puzzled.
"It's very simple. Since Huang'er can stand alone, why should I, an old woman, interfere with his decision-making? I just need to help him keep an eye on Jizhou in the backyard and wait for him to free up his hands to get it."
Jiang Xiannuo is not the kind of person who has a strong desire for power. As a practitioner, she does not have the secular desire for power. To practice, you must first cultivate your mind. A practitioner may have obsessions, but they will basically not show up in positions of power.
"Yes, His Majesty is already able to take charge of his own affairs. After all, Zhao is his country. He is the emperor who unified the nine states. It is really inappropriate to be under your wings all the time." Lan Qiu agreed.
"Then we will stay in Chengguo to maintain the situation among the three countries?" Lan Qiu guessed what he would do next.
"That's right. At present, Yu State is on the verge of subjugation, and You State is unable to unify Jizhou, even with the support of the demon clan." Jiang Xiannao analyzed.
"Now we need to suppress the country." Jiang Xiannuo thought about it and decided.
"Didn't you say, Madam, that internal strife within a country will collapse on its own? Why are you trying to suppress the country now?" Lan Qiu recalled Jiang Xiannuo's previous evaluation of the Three Kingdoms before she came.
The country of You is like a tiger and a wolf, and cannot be allowed to smell a trace of meat. The country of Yu is about to become a rotten tree, but it is not completely dead yet. If it works well, the old tree can grow new buds. The country of Cheng is stable and vain, and will be broken at the touch of a touch. Don't worry about yourself. They will all fight and collapse on their own.
"However, now there is Li Pingyuan in Chengguo. He has become famous in Jiuzhou. Even the remote Yue Kingdom in the south knows that Li Pingyuan killed the main force of You army in a half-crossed attack. If Chengguo uses this sword well, it will be very possible. First, wipe out the Yuyou two countries and unify Jizhou." Jiang Xiannuo said quietly.
"This... empress, what should I do?" Lan Qiu also panicked.
"The Ai family also wants to know."
