It's not yet dawn, and everyone who should know the outcome of this battle knows it. If you don’t know, you may not know in a few days.
"To attack in the east and in the west, it can be said that he has mastered the secrets of the art of war. But then again, Hu Xing is stupid enough to fall into such a simple strategy." The next day, Gongzi Xi, who received the relevant information, made a direct evaluation.
"Sir, Li Sheng once said that bystanders are clear, but those in authority are confused."
"Of course, we outsiders can support our views through various signs discovered afterwards, and prove that attacks in the east and west are bound to happen."
"For example, the mobilization of the army, such as the generals on this expedition, such as..."
"However, as an authority, we cannot make such a simple judgment. Because there is all kinds of information and all kinds of possibilities. On the battlefield, who can accurately predict the whereabouts of the enemy? That is no longer the case. Things that people can do.”
"In the beginning of this battle, Hu Xing used Dongcheng as bait. This was a conspiracy. He just wanted to make both Yancheng and Dongcheng lose."
"He himself also directly lurked in the Yanghe River. With the help of the power of Yanghe's water, it would be difficult to find him even if he borrowed treasures, unless he searched slowly inch by inch through the water. But where did Yancheng get the time and energy? So it's like this Can hide very well.”
"But what he didn't expect was that Yancheng would not attack Dongcheng!"
"Actually, Hu Xing didn't make many mistakes when he got here. But what he didn't expect was that Taoist Changkong would break through silently."
"Let alone him, even we could not have expected this. Taoist Changkong personally took action and heard that the entire Liuhe County was frozen. All transportation arteries, as well as treasuries and military camps, and the rebels were all frozen If Yancheng hadn’t always liked to extort money from them, none of these people would be alive.”
"What's even more unexpected is that in addition to the breakthrough of Taoist Changkong, a Taoist soldier appeared quietly in Yancheng. Although there was news about the selection and training of Taoist soldiers in Yancheng before, who would have thought Yancheng can succeed in one go?"
"Now is not the time to investigate the responsibility. There is no need to explore whether Yancheng has been planning something evil for a long time and was prepared in advance or whether Peng Bing is gifted. The most important thing is that with the blessing of this Taoist soldier, Peng Bing's combat effectiveness is not inferior. Yu Hu Xing."
"Under the attack of the two men, Hu Xing returned in a hurry and left in a hurry. He may still be recovering from his injuries at this moment."
"As soon as he was injured, the entire Hu family would suffer heavy losses. All counties and cities cannot stop Taoist Changkong, and it will only be a matter of time before they fall."
"So we need to set off immediately? If I lead the Taoist soldiers to set off overnight and force the march, we may be able to reach Dongjun in two days."
Hearing this, the white-bearded Jiacheng shook his head.
"Sir, it is a good thing for us to let the Hu family and Yancheng fight to the death."
"It is very difficult for the Hu family to win this battle, unless Yancheng makes a fatal mistake. The Hu family will definitely suffer heavy losses. At least the counties under its jurisdiction and the population of the entire territory will be moved away by Yancheng in a big way. With Yancheng's plundering ability , 90% of the wealth outside Liucheng will fall into their hands."
"This is a good thing, because Yancheng needs to sell the stolen goods. At this time, the young master can take the opportunity to make some money. Moreover, the young master can also take this opportunity to have the army blockade the various arteries in the east, and at the same time send an invitation to the princes, everyone Do business and help Yancheng sell stolen goods together."
Hearing this, Young Master Xi's eyes almost popped out of his head: "Is this really okay? Isn't this betrayal of the country?"
Hearing this, Jiacheng stroked his long white beard: "Master, if you don't do this business of selling stolen goods, will other nobles do it?"
"Probably." Gongzixi still understood the integrity of the nobles in the capital.
"Sir, if you control the traffic arteries, then you will be the main one in the sale of the stolen goods, and the bulk of the stolen goods will be under your control. At least, the master can sell less extraordinary resources and use more food and savages in exchange for them."
"Although food and savages are good, they are long-term developments. It will take time to turn them into strength."
"In a short period of time, Yancheng's strength will not increase too much, but will be hindered a lot. When the business is done, when the war between Yancheng and the Hu family is over, the young master will act as a savior to rescue the Hu family. By then Mrs. Hu has to spend a lot of resources to thank the young master."
"At that time, Young Master can seriously fight against Yancheng."
"So, what should I do now?"
Jiacheng stroked his beard: "What you should do most now is to visit the monarch. Go and tell the monarch that you heard that many nobles are doing business with Yancheng privately. You think this is not good. Are you planning to do business in Yancheng?" Before the war begins, we first lead Taoist soldiers and some private soldiers to guard the important roads to prevent large amounts of iron materials from flowing into Yancheng."
"Tell the monarch again that you are too young and inexperienced. Please ask the elders in the office for help."
"But if we do this, won't we raise tigers? Today, Yancheng already has a Taoist priest and a Taoist soldier. Facing such an enemy, even I am no match. Such an enemy can already become The country’s major troubles are no longer as easy to eliminate as they used to be.”
"So, the young master is going on this trip to ask for help. If the monarch does not send reinforcements for a day, young master, you will not set off for a day. Even if you go on an expedition, you will only stay a few hundred miles away. The young master personally leads the army to prevent smuggling, which is also an effort. "
"As for Yancheng, if Yancheng can really become a climate, it has already become a climate. The young master alone, even if you add your mother clan, may not be able to do anything about Yancheng."
"No matter how downcast the Hu family is, they are still one of the four great clans. If the Hu family is easily defeated by Yancheng, then Yancheng is no longer the son's trouble, it is the monarch's trouble."
A young master is a young master, and a monarch is a monarch. Obviously, this family prime minister also knows the difference very well!
"However, if Yancheng develops and grows, it will not be good after all." Gongzixi still has some conscience.
"Hey, sir, are you the king?"
"no!"
"Sir, Confucius once said that those who are in their position seek their own affairs, and those who are not in their position do not seek their own affairs. You are a general at this moment, and what you have to consider is how to fight the next war."
"The fact is that when Taoist soldiers and Taoist priests appear in Yancheng, this battle is destined to not be over in a short time, unless the monarch is willing to send experts to help. You should know better than me about the intimidation of Taoist priests. !”
Young Master nodded happily: "If a Taoist priest abandons his face and breaks the bottom line, he can disrupt the entire Chao Kingdom by himself."
"He can massacre any county based on his mood. Every county, as long as it is not prepared, will be massacred by Taoist priests in a matter of seconds. Even if you prepare in advance, you may not be able to prevent a person from using all his strength. Taoist priest."
"It is too easy for a Taoist priest to hide without leaving traces with the help of treasures. Even the priests cannot accurately find the traces of the Taoist priest. The lifespan of a Taoist priest is extremely long, possibly as long as two or three thousand years. So For a long time, the Taoist priests could run away when the situation was not good, and when they remembered, they could return to Chao Kingdom and continue to destroy a few counties, and then continue to escape from Chao Kingdom, and come back after a few years or decades, and so on. repeatedly!"
"So, when facing a Taoist priest, you must show enough respect!"
Hearing this, Jiacheng nodded affirmatively: "So, it is actually the most appropriate thing for you, Master, to preside over private smuggling."
"In this way, Yancheng can see some hope, and it will not be broken."
"This is all for the good of Chao Country!"
…
Young Master Xi was busy connecting the male and female clans, asking everyone to prepare supplies together and prepare for transactions with Yancheng.
With 80% of the entire Hu family's resources, buying low and selling high can make everyone's mouths water!
For the sake of lard, it is appropriate to launch the decisive battle later. How can the growth of Yancheng compare to the prosperity of one's own family?
This is also the difference between Yancheng and Chao Kingdom. Today's Chao Kingdom is large and strong, but it cannot be integrated together, let alone top and bottom, united as one. In today's Chao Kingdom, the monarch does not trust the Qing clan, and the Qing clan is on guard. The kings dislike each other.
As for Yancheng, compared with Chao Kingdom, which has a long history, it is still a relatively young regime, and it has not yet suffered from as many bad habits as Chao Kingdom.
The front line was busy attacking the county town, plundering resources, population, and interrogating wealth. Jiang Hua in the rear area was not idle either.
The first issue of the official newspaper was an unprecedented success. Maybe it’s because it’s more innovative, or maybe it’s because today’s Yancheng is indeed at the forefront, and many people pay attention to every move.
In the past few days, the second issue of the official newspaper is being prepared for publication.
For this reason, Jiang Hua is also running around.
Just like this moment, Jiang Hua was at an unveiling ceremony.
Jiang Hua secretly came over to take a look at the contents of the unveiling ceremony last night to make sure there were no problems, so today's unveiling ceremony was held.
"Due to the Lord's attention, we have now successfully developed a series of prospecting spells. There are a total of sixty-five spells in this series, with a wide variety of spells. They can effectively detect minerals three thousand meters deep underground. However, there are also flaws. Obviously, the prospecting range and prospecting accuracy cannot be compromised at the same time, and sometimes there will be errors..." Feng Yi sat in front and said while driving Jiang Hua.
"Uncle Master has already seen the relevant spells and gave a very high evaluation. Uncle Master said that the biggest advantage of these Taoist spells is that they are very simple to use. Even an alchemist can learn them. This is rare. This shows that you are indeed using them. Mind you."
"This time, the cabinet must make a mark." Jiang Hua said seriously.
Feng Yi continued to drive and said without looking back: "After creating the series of prospecting spells, I remembered your instructions again, my lord."
"My lord, you once said that Taoism must be brought into life and into thousands of households. Thinking of the senior alchemist who applied Taoism to iron smelting before, I feel that what I have done is not enough. So I asked my colleagues, can we go further?"
"Brother Qu told me at that time: Yes!"
"Brother Qu said at that time that we, the cabinet members, should take the initiative to help the Lord to solve problems for Yancheng. We cannot wait for the Lord to urge us to take action every time. We must be proactive and we must take the initiative to do something for Yancheng."
Listening to Feng Yi's praise, Qu Wu remained motionless and silent.
"Later, I asked Brother Qu if he could apply Taoism in the mining and iron-making process? Can a standardized process be produced directly near the mine?"
"Brother Qu told me at that time that actually the people have been trying to do this." As he said that, Feng Yi glanced at Qu Wu.
Qu Wu finally stopped keeping silent: "The minister said at that time that although our people do not know the Dharma, our people are wise. They have more say in this aspect, how to standardize, how to process, and how to make it more efficient. It’s simple and convenient, and the people have more say than just a few of us.”
"So, I said at that time, why not just go to the mines that are being mined and ask the mining people at the bottom? They have been dealing with minerals their whole lives, and they must know better than us what problems we need to face in the mining process."
"Finally, we went to investigate. We investigated more than 20 large and small mines, interviewed more than 400 front-line mining people, summarized six major needs, and restored the entire mining process using Taoism. This Once I recovered, I discovered that there are indeed many areas that can be improved using Tao methods, which can greatly improve production efficiency."
While the three of them were asking and answering questions, Feng Qingyang held up a crystal ball and recorded the scene.
These contents can be put into the second issue of the official magic weapon version.
The silk version, limited by the silk itself, has very limited content and is all text. But even so, many people rushed to copy it. Now, although it is not possible to say that every household has a copy, every street has at least one.
The magic weapon version is even more popular among Taoists and nobles.
The magic weapon version uses some small spells to refine a low-level magic weapon similar to a crystal ball. It stores a large number of projections and sounds, and it can also move.
The most important thing is that the silk version of the official newspaper makes no money!
The silk version of the official newspaper was very popular and had a wider audience, but it just didn't make any money and was a total loser.
The legal instrument version of the official newspaper is profitable. The profit of one legal instrument version is enough to cover a thousand silk official newspapers. At present, more than 6,000 copies of the magic weapon version have been sold. Not only did the cabinet not lose money, but it also made money!
However, the most evil pirated magic weapons have appeared in the black market. When it comes to making money, people in the black market are more diligent than anyone else!
Feng Qingyang felt his heart ache when he thought of those pirated magic weapons. This is all the cabinet's money, this is all my money!
This time, we must prepare a large number of magic weapon versions in advance to gain more selling points, reduce the time for pirate merchants to make pirated copies, and make as much profit as possible.
"In the end, with the help of the people and the efforts of our cabinet members, we finally have today's series of production spells. Please come and test them!"
"Okay, if it really works, the Prefect's Mansion will definitely give you a great credit!"
There were four thousand more in the evening.
