In addition to the pills he developed that are popular among people, Li Wei is also very good at treating a series of diseases. Many dignitaries have regained their lives under his treatment... ···········

Because Li Wei is very important, many people are looking for him for medical treatment. For this reason, Dadongsheng Company specially sent a memorial to Ye Mingsheng half a month ago, saying that the market prospect of drugs is very broad. In order to satisfy the market, the company According to the demand, I am going to ask several experts in this field to study a new drug, so I ask Ye Mingsheng for permission to recruit Li Wei to study it.

In order to make money at that time, Ye Mingsheng agreed without much thought at the time. He never thought that the current situation would happen!

Seeing Ye Mingsheng not speaking, An Miaoyi was also a little anxious. Since she had talked with Xiao Ruolan before, she knew that An Tianyu had some problems and could not be dealt with. Xiao Ruolan was still a virgin, so An Miaoyi was very anxious for the inheritance of the family. She immediately prepared to find Li Wei and ask the expert to give her brother a good treatment. However, she did not expect that Li Weiren was not in the medical school now, but in Dadongsheng Company.

An Miaoyi found Dadongsheng Company without much thought. However, now is the most critical moment for new drug research, and Li Wei is the main force in the research of new drugs. If he leaves, the development progress of new drugs will be put on hold, and Dadongsheng He still had Ye Mingsheng's approval document in his hand, so even when facing An Miaoyi, Dadongsheng took out the approval document and declined An Miaoyi's request.

Although An Miaoyi was a little angry after being rejected, she had no good way to deal with Ye Mingsheng's approval. She could only ask Ye Mingsheng to come here... ·········

Wiping the tears on her cheeks, An Miaoyi whispered to Ye Mingsheng

"The doctors at the medical school all say that the sooner this disease is cured, the better. Tian Yu has been waiting for a long time. I have been dreaming these days. I dreamed that my father told me to take good care of Tian Yu and keep a The An family cannot be cut off by its bloodline!"

At the end of the sentence, An Miaoyi's expression became more and more sad, and her eyes became moist. Seeing that An Miaoyi had said this, Ye Mingsheng didn't say anything. He stood up and lit the kerosene lamp. Under the illumination of the kerosene lamp, Ye Mingsheng finished writing. He stamped his seal on the approval slip, handed it to An Miaoyi and said with a smile:

"Miaoyi, your brother is my brother. If there is anything I can do to help, I will do my best. You can call the medical school and I will inform the following!"

Listening to Ye Mingsheng's words, An Miaoyi's beautiful eyes also showed a touch of emotion, and she took the initiative to kiss Ye Mingsheng's face with her red lips. Looking at the charming lady in front of her, Ye Mingsheng's sleepiness slowly dissipated. ···············

Licheng, Caofu

At this moment, Cao Changping opened his eyes and felt aches and pains all over his body. He secretly sighed in his heart that he was getting old. The next second, he hit the snowy hill next to him with his hand, and with two crisp sounds, two The delicate concubine woke up next to Cao Changping. Cao Changping, who was in a bad mood, cursed coldly:

"Get out!"

Seeing Cao Changping, who was still lively and lively last night, now putting up his pants and not recognizing anyone, the eyes of the two concubines were filled with sadness, but feeling Cao Changping's cold attitude, they could only lower their heads and hold their own clothes and left the room.

Watching the two concubines leave, Cao Changping suddenly sighed. Because of the peace talks with the Fengwu Army, the whole Qi Army had been quarreling in the past few days. As the boss, he had begun to feel a little uncontrollable. The situation was over. He was worried about this matter and hadn't slept well for several days. There was really no other way last night. He could only call two concubines to vent his anger. This was considered to be a sleepless night. The best sleep in a month.

Although it was already midnight and the sun had risen high, Cao Changping didn't want to get up or leave the room at this time, because he knew that once he walked out of the room, all those bad things would find him!

The Fengwu Army asked him to pay compensation for defeat, the lower-level soldiers asked for military pay, and the high-level generals asked him for money to redeem their relatives, friends, and nephews. In short, it was just two words - money!

But where could Mr. Cao find so much money?······················

He originally still had five hundred thousand taels of silver in his bank account. He received Qilu's taxes in advance and got it next year. This amount of money is neither too small nor too much. If he had saved a little money, it would be almost the same. It can support it until next year, when taxes will be collected one year in advance next year. Although it is a bit ugly, it can at least ensure the general operation of the entire Qi Army system!

But as the saying goes, when the cannon is fired, gold is worth ten thousand taels. The departure cost of the 30,000 Qi army is one hundred thousand taels of silver, and the cost of their battle in Hebei and Henan is not small. The war has been fought for less than a month. Cao Changping lost half of his silver. Even if he did not pay compensation, provide compensation, or redeem prisoners of war, he would not be able to last until next year with only the more than 200,000 taels of silver left.

Although Qilu was once a wealthy province of the Great Zhou Dynasty, its vitality was severely damaged by the continuous peasant uprisings in the past few years. In the past ten years, its population has lost millions. Although Cao Cao suppressed the peasant uprisings, He has a lot of skills, but when it comes to economics and people's livelihood, he has a dark eye and only knows how to impose heavy taxes and pressure.

Nowadays, the people of Qilu don't have much money anymore, and those wealthy squires, landlords, and aristocratic families are the basis of Cao's rule. To tax others for money is tantamount to destroying the Great Wall and digging their own graves. Today Collect the money, you may be killed in your sleep tomorrow...

Therefore, this matter fell into an endless loop, making Cao Changping irritated every day. The only solution for now was to collect the tax two years in advance. Yes, after several of Cao Changping's masters put it together, they told Cao Changping to If you want to solve the current financial dilemma, it is no longer enough to collect money one year in advance. It is barely enough to collect money two years in advance!

However, collecting taxes for two years in advance sounds very simple, but if things were really that simple, then Cao Changping would not be as distressed as now. Although Cao was a military general, he was not very good at managing people's livelihood. I understand, but after all, he has climbed up from the grassroots level with blood and fire, and he is not a piece of trash who can't eat minced meat!

Cao Changping knew very well that although no large-scale peasant uprisings had broken out in Qilu in recent years, sporadic small-scale uprisings had never stopped. They were just brutally suppressed by him. Financial problems started when Cao Changping took office. It has existed since the first day. If collecting taxes in advance was really a good idea, Cao Changping would have collected taxes ten years in advance instead of only collecting taxes one year in advance like now.

Although Cao Changping is a big boss, facts have told him that collecting taxes in advance is like drinking poison to quench his thirst. Although it will bring him a lot of money, it will also bring a large number of uprisings and riots that threaten his rule. Cao Changping knows this. Only then did I take advantage of the situation and did not dare to collect taxes in advance easily...

But things are different now. After the disastrous defeat on the battlefield in Hebei and Henan, the injured and killed soldiers were unable to receive pensions and began to make trouble. This was like a fuse, igniting the Qi army's soldiers' lack of pay for the Qi army. Cheng Feng's dissatisfaction, according to the reports of the soldiers below, the Qi Army camp is now like a powder keg, which may explode at any time.

Cao Changping was also very anxious about this situation. He knew that once the gunpowder barrel exploded, he would be blown to pieces first, so he immediately transferred tens of thousands of taels of silver from the bank to temporarily hold on to the brothers below. angry and promised to resolve the issue of arrears of wages and pensions as soon as possible.

Although the mood of the soldiers at the bottom has stabilized, in the face of the high-level demands to redeem prisoners of war and pay compensation from the Fengwu Army, Cao Changping is more than capable!

Cao Changping, who was lying on the boat, looked sad. Although he realized that the only way to go was to collect taxes in advance, he really didn't want to do that!

Because once he does this, it means that Cao Changping and the Qi army are heading for a slow death. The next time and energy will be devoted to suppressing the peasant uprising in Qilu, and they will have no time to take into account the situation outside Qilu. In troubled times, it is like sailing against the current. Advancing leads to retreat, not to mention that the Qilu where Cao Changping is located has Ye Mingsheng in the north and Xu Zhaojie in the south. These two people are like wolves and tigers. If they are not careful, they may tear him into pieces... ·······

Just when Cao Changping still couldn't make up his mind. There was a knock on the door. The knock on the door immediately disrupted Cao Changping's thinking. The Chief Envoy of Qilu, who was lying on the bed, immediately cursed angrily:

"What are you knocking on, you son of a bitch?"

Hearing Cao Changping's scolding, the attendant outside the door was quiet for a few seconds, and then whispered:

"Commander, General Yin Biao, General Meng Qingxing, General Wang He, and more than a dozen people came to the house, clamoring to see you!"

When Cao Changping heard this situation, he immediately had a bad feeling in his heart. Yin Biao, Meng Qingxing, and Wang He were all veteran generals of the Qi Army, and these people had one thing in common, that is, they all had relatives, friends, and nephews. They were captured by the Fengwu Army in the Battle of Hebei and Yu. Today, they gathered together to find themselves. Most likely, they came to force him to marry him, demanding money to redeem him, and to hand over Duan Yanfeng to the Fengwu Army.

Thinking of this, Cao Changping couldn't help but have a headache. Compared with money, Duan Yanfeng's problem was something he was even more unwilling to face. It was related to his majesty and face. If the money was gone, he could still make more, but once the majesty was gone, It will make the soldiers below lose their sense of awe, and it will be really difficult to stand up again!

After pondering for a while, Cao Changping knew that he could not agree to the request of his subordinates. In this case, it would be better not to meet him. He immediately ordered the attendant outside the door:

"Tell them that I suffered from the cold last night and cannot see the guests, and ask them to come back another day. We are actively negotiating with the Fengwu Army. The matter of redeeming prisoners of war will make progress soon. Let them wait patiently and don't be anxious. I Cao Changping will not give up on these brothers..."

"yes!"

After a cup of tea, in front of the main hall of Cao's mansion, the dozen or so Qi army generals who came together learned of Cao Changping's order. Although they were dissatisfied with Cao Changping's failure to hand over Duan Yanfeng, they were dissatisfied with Cao Changping's statement about redeeming prisoners of war. Everyone was still very satisfied. In addition, Cao Changping had accumulated power in the Qi army for many years, so most of them chose to leave.

Only a tall, middle-aged man with a sinewy face stayed in Cao's Mansion for a long time. Seeing that Cao Changping really had no intention of receiving him, he slowly left. However, he did not immediately leave Cao's Mansion. He returned to his magnificent home, but walked around the city several times before arriving at the Sun Mansion, and walked in through the small door of the Sun Mansion in a very secretive manner.

Looking at Yin Biao walking into the room, Sun Jing'an smiled slightly and poured him a cup of tea. Yin Biao, who had been friends for decades, was not polite to Sun Jing'an and sat down on the chair next to Sun Jing'an. He drank the tea that Sun Jing'an poured for him very boldly. Looking at Yin Biao's cow drink, Sun Jing'an couldn't help but shook his head. His tea was all good tea shipped from the south of the Yangtze River. It was given to a rough man like Yin Biao to drink. What a shame.

After drinking the tea, Yin Biao sat on the chair and fell into silence. Sun Jing'an did not urge him to taste the tea slowly. This lasted for nearly a quarter of an hour before Yin Biao seemed to have made up his mind and raised his head to look at Sun Jing'an. He asked in a deep voice:

"Fengwu Army is really willing to hand over Qilu to you and me?"

Hearing Yin Biao's inquiry, Sun Jing'an smiled slightly. He knew that Yin Biao was tempted, and immediately poured Yin Biao another cup of tea and said slowly:

"The Fengwu Army is very powerful, but not as powerful as you think..."

As soon as these words came out, a flash of doubt flashed in Yin Biao's eyes. He didn't know what Sun Jing'an meant by his words. Sun Jing'an didn't give in and said directly:

"In this battle between Hebei and Henan, the Fengwu Army indeed won a complete victory and took the Central Plains into their hands. However, with the intervention of our Qi Army and the Anqing Army, the Fengwu Army's battle was not as they expected. So smooth, if the Gao family and his son were not stupid enough to rush out and fight the Fengwu Army, the situation in Jiyu would have continued to be a stalemate!"

"Although I don't know the casualties of Fengwu Army, if my guess is correct, the casualties of Fengwu Army this time are not small!"

"How can you see it?" Yin Biao asked in confusion;

According to the information he collected, many of the battles fought by the Fengwu Army in Hebei and Henan were great victories, and they did not suffer heavy casualties. Therefore, he did not know how Sun Jingan could tell that the Fengwu Army suffered a lot of casualties... ·····················
