Happiness Consist in Contentment

The two countries negotiated peace, and in the eyes of the envoys of the other four countries, the barbarian tribes had been abused by the female princes.

After two days of tossing and going, it was finally over, and everyone was satisfied.

- This trip didn't come in vain. Just seeing how the barbarian tribes were abused by the female marquis, they felt it was worth it!

And this peace negotiation made the people of Dayan country excited as if they were in the New Year: ox criticism! Princess!

The reason why it caused such a sensation is very simple. The terms of the negotiation are all pressing down on the bottom line of the barbarian tribe: it is enough to compensate countless gold and silver war horses, and they have to exchange money for all the captives.

As for Liu Fang, he spread out a price list for Tuoba Gangyou to see.

It looks like he almost vomited blood!

According to the status level, the size of the official position, the price of each level is different. The cheapest is the ordinary pawns, each costing one gold.

What does one gold mean? It means ten taels of gold, not one tael, because here, there are no gold ingots with one tael of gold, and the smallest ones are ten taels.

Therefore, what Liu Fang once said to Prince Murong Zhuo was "worth a thousand taels", not one thousand taels of gold, but ten thousand taels.

10,000 taels of gold can be enough to feed a hundred soldiers in Liucheng for a year, including their families, and their own salary can also be obtained normally, this is the meaning.

It is conceivable how much the barbarians have to pay if they want to exchange their captives.

Simply immeasurable!

But Liu Fang also said that they can accept their installment payment. If it is delayed, then she is also happy to go to the barbarian tribe.

In short, Tuoba Gangyou was afraid of her, and would rather spend money to eliminate disasters than dare to really provoke Liu Fang.

Once the peace talks are completed and the monarchs of the two countries have their national seals stamped on them, it can officially take effect.

However, the barbarian tribe was outside the western border, so Liu Fang had to **** the barbarian mission to the western border to stamp the letter.

Originally, it should be the capital of the barbarian tribe - Manjing.

But Tuoba Gangyou was really afraid that Liu Fang would take the opportunity to lead the troops to fight like this, so he flew back with a pigeon and asked Tuoba Khan to send someone to send the national seal to wait outside the western border.

When the seal is affixed, they will directly take the captives back without having to send them off specially by Liu Fang.

In this regard, Liu Fang just smiled and did not embarrass them.

When everything was settled and Liu Fang left the capital with someone, it was only her seventh day in the capital.

On the way back, Liu Fang brought a lot of things with him.

All the rewards that Emperor Qing gave her that could be taken away, including those desks in the mansion, all that could be dragged away.

Seeing her so mighty, as if the rhythm of emptying the entire mansion, everyone who came to see her off:...(ー_ー)!!

Murong Zhuo laughed so fast that his stomach hurt, and Murong Yue couldn't stop laughing.

This princess of the town country is really maverick!

Even Princess Zhaoyang of Zhenguo's eyes widened, and she pulled her sixth brother's arm and said, "Is this maiden planning to take all these things to the Western Border?"

Prince Yang was also confused, "Probably?"

But Liu Fang didn't care. She dragged these things with her three thousand sergeants and returned to the Western Border with Bi Yan.

Along with them were the barbarian embassies, as well as the Ling Guo, Zhen Guo, and Cheng Guo embassies.

As for the Qu Guo mission, they plan to stay for two more days.

Because of the lot of things, Liu Fang was walking very slowly, and she was not in a hurry.

This made everyone very strange.

Especially Tuoba Gangyou, he would come to Tuoba Yaoheng and the others from time to time, and have been discussing, what is the purpose of Liu Fang.

For their current behavior, Liu Fang did not stop them and let them go. Anyway, the barbarian mission only has more than 1,200 people left.

Of those who were missing, some were killed when Liu Fang was assassinated, some went to the Western Xinjiang, and after all kinds of tossing, they finally disappeared. Whether it was life or death, no one cared.

The Dayan Kingdom wished that all the barbarians would die, and the other missions would not mind their own business.

As for Tuoba Gangyou and the others, Liu Fang has made them no longer have the guts to scold them, so they all seem to have fewer people who can't see themselves.

This is the barbarian. It looks fierce, but in fact, it is a group of cowards, and there is no integrity at all.

After seven days, when they arrived at the north-south division, Liu Fang took everyone to the pier.

The Prince of Chengguo, Jin Manshan, walked with her, chatting and laughing, and several large ships were moored at the dock.

Everyone suddenly realized: Oh, it turns out that the eldest princess sold all her rewards to Jin Manshan!

To be precise, Liu Fang gave Jin Manshan all the things she didn't need and asked him to take them overseas and sell them in exchange for what she wanted.

In this regard, Jin Manshan is also very happy: Emperor Yanqing is generous, the rewards to Liu Fang are all good things, and if these are taken overseas, they are all treasures!

This is a big business, and he can earn a lot of commissions alone, so he is so happy!

"There is Prince Lao Chengguo

. "

Jin Manshan saluted Liu Fang with a smile on his face: "Princess eldest is polite. This time, it is I who thank the eldest princess."

Liu Fang smiled and instructed Chen Fang to take someone to load everything onto the boat.

In addition to the unsellable, Liu Fang sold everything that could be sold, leaving only some that she might use in the future, such as the very large carriage, she kept.

Later, Emperor Yanqing found out that her carriage was broken and repaired it for her.

Liu Fang accepted it very calmly.

Bi Yan watched the boxes of jewelry being carried onto the boat, and her heart was bleeding.

She had already asked Liu Fang if she wanted to keep a box or two of jewelry as a face.

Liu Fang shook his head and said, "Probably, it will take a long time for me to have the opportunity to enter Beijing."

If she doesn't go to Beijing, she won't actually use these flashy things. If she goes to Beijing, she will get better again.

Therefore, for now, it is still the most important thing to sell these things in exchange for what she needs now, and to enhance Liu Cheng's strength.

There are enough people, and things will be moved quickly.

Liu Fang and Jin Manshan bowed to each other, and then took the people away.

...

This time, Zhenguo's mission was going to go back by boat with Jin Manshan and the others.

In fact, the two countries are not too far apart.

Princess Zhaoyang looked at the three large ships behind her and said to Prince Yang, "Sixth brother, the eldest princess is so nice!"

Prince Yang smiled, "Yes!"

To be willing to sell all these things without any reservation, just to strengthen Liucheng's strength, this heroine is really a good person!

Princess Zhaoyang's eyes suddenly turned red, and she said, "Sixth brother, I think about what I will do in the future."

Prince Yang raised his eyebrows to look at her, "Oh? What are you going to do?"

Princess Zhaoyang said: "I want to go to the western border, I want to serve the eldest princess and follow her for the rest of my life!"

Prince Yang was surprised. He looked at his younger sister who was still squeamish in front of him, and said: "You have to think about it. The western border is very desolate, there is nothing delicious to eat, and there is nothing delicious to drink. It's hot to death, it's cold to death, you really decided to go?"

Princess Zhaoyang nodded and said earnestly, "Well, I'm going!"

Prince Yang was really stunned, "Bamei, are you really joking?"

Princess Zhaoyang nodded solemnly and said, "No kidding. I'm serious. When I go back this time, I'll tell my eldest brother, and then I'll go to the western border to find the eldest princess, the queen."

Prince Yang: (⊙o⊙)!

He won't be beaten to death by his big brother when he goes back, right?

?

sky!

He held his forehead and sighed: It's dead now, he's cheating himself!

What kind of monster is this ladyboy? Why did they all look like crazy when they saw her one by one?

Princess Zhaoyang ignored how her sixth brother sighed, she just looked at the direction of the western border, and said in her heart: Wait, I will definitely go!

...

After the trip, Liu Fang speeded up and rushed to the Western Xinjiang. Ten days later, they arrived in Xijiang and returned to Liucheng.

All the soldiers and civilians in the city are welcoming Liu Fang's return!

Tuoba Gangyou was in a hurry to affix a seal to the peace book, urging Liu Fang to leave quickly.

Liu Fang smiled, said a few words to the soldiers and soldiers who came to greet them, and then took them to the border of the two countries to finish the rest.

The peace agreement between the two countries was not officially established until the seal of the Great Khan of Tuoba was stamped on the agreement.

Tuoba Gangyou immediately said to Liu Fang: "Eldest Princess, shouldn't it be time for the third prince and the others to go back?"

Liu Fang smiled and nodded, "Well, good."

She waved her hand and asked people to back away, allowing Tuoba Yaoheng and the three to return to the barbarian mission.

Tuoba Yaoheng did not move, Tuoba Gangzheng, Tuoba Yaocheng did not move.

Liu Fang raised her eyebrows and looked at Tuoba Yaoheng, "What? Is there anything else for the third prince?"

Tuoba Yaoheng said: "The eldest princess seems to have forgotten something."

"Oh? What's the matter?"

"The poison on us. The eldest princess seems to have forgotten to give the antidote."

Tuoba Gangyou was shocked: "What? She also poisoned you?"

However, Liu Fang didn't care about Tuoba Gangyou's yelling, and only said to Tuoba Yaoheng indifferently: "Third prince, rest assured, the poison on your body has been cured. After all, your country's first ransom is to redeem you."

Of course, the value of these three people cannot be compared with ordinary soldiers, so Tuoba Khan is very generous.

- Even if he is not generous, Liu Fang doesn't care about others, these three must see the ransom before they are willing to let them go.

So, now that Liu Fang sees that the money and horses sent by the barbarian tribe are all right, naturally he will not embarrass them.

As for poisoning, detoxification and so on, heh, as long as she thinks about it, no one can stop her here.

Tuoba Yaoheng's pupils shrank and looked at her fixedly, as if he wanted to engrave her appearance in his heart!

"Liu Fang, I will always remember you."

Liu Fang smiled lightly and did not speak.

It's already a complete defeat, so let people talk harshly and vent, otherwise, it's easy to suffocate to death.

Seeing her unconcerned appearance, Tuoba Yaoheng was frustrated for a while, and with a cold face, Tuoba Yaohong walked towards the barbarian mission with Tuoba Gangzheng.

Before leaving, he turned his back to Liu Fang and said, "This time, I lost. Next time, I won't."

Liu Fang's smile was slightly wider: I can beat you once, and I can beat you countless times!

☆、Other types are content and happy to wear

Tuoba Gangyou glared at Liu Fang fiercely, Liu Fang raised his hand slightly and waved, so frightened that he immediately retracted his fierce gaze.

Liu Fang sneered and asked Chen Fang to collect the credentials and ransom, then turned around and took people back.

Before leaving, she also turned her back to Tuoba Gangyou and said, "Tell the third prince of your family that the prisoners who are taken away without paying the money have no cure for the poison on their bodies. If you don't want them to die, then pay the money honestly. understand?"

Don't think about redeeming people here, and prepare to come over there and fight again, Liu Fang doesn't have the time to stop with them!

Only then did Tuoba Gangyou understand why when she was in Beijing, she had to force herself to redeem people according to the roster, so she was waiting here.

He hurriedly went to Tuoba Yaoheng to discuss the matter. After Tuoba Yaoheng heard it, he closed his eyes and said, "Forget it, go back. This poison will be fine as long as you don't get lucky."

Those who resisted and fled were all killed because of the poison.

It's like he and his third uncle have always been honest, and it is impossible to see that they have been poisoned in daily life.

Moreover, when he was in the capital, it was not that he had not consulted Prince Zhen Guoyang for a pulse diagnosis, but even the other party had not diagnosed him as being poisoned. It can be seen that Liu Fang's poisoning technique has reached a certain level.

In this regard, Liu Fang said: That's because she was detoxified before you entered Beijing. Otherwise, they would have died of poisoning on the way day and night.

However, there is no need to tell Tuoba Yaoheng about this. To make him misunderstand, Liu Fang felt that it was fine.

At this point, the battle of the barbarians to attack the western border was officially ended.

Liu Fang went up to the city wall and looked at the barbarians who were leaving, tears streaming down her face.

Bi Yan was startled when she saw it. She wanted to come forward and ask, but was stopped by Chen Fang.

"Just like that, let the girl be quiet."

Bi Yan vaguely understood, stopped moving, and stood quietly by the side.

Chen Fang also stood beside him quietly.

Only he knew how much grief the girl endured to do everything that followed.

She has so much to do in a short period of time. So she had no time to cry, no time to grieve, and now, it was all settled.

She could finally cry, and cry happily!

Now, what she needs is not comfort, but silence, as long as she can stay quietly, so that she can vent all the grief she has accumulated for so long.

Liu Fang stood on the city wall and wept silently until the sun went down, and her tears were frozen on her face.

, the sadness in her heart calmed down a little.

Father, elder brother, second elder brother, have you seen it? This time, we really won, completely won!

...

Luo Zheng was waiting in front of Liu Fang's tent, and Lin Ya had already prepared hot water for her to come back.

Seeing them, Liu Fang warmed her heart, smiled slightly, and said to Luo Zheng, "Very good. You did a great job!"

Luo Zheng really did a good job of capturing the 300,000 troops borrowed by the barbarians from Xituo, completely leaving the barbarian tribe with no soldiers to use and nothing to rely on.

Luo Zheng blushed and said with a smile, "It's the girl's plan, and the subordinates can defeat them completely."

Liu Fang nodded slightly and said to him, "Go, there are still many things waiting for us."

Luo Zheng and Chen Fang saluted, "Yes, girl."

Seeing the two leave, Liu Fang turned to look at Lin Ya.

Lin Ya blushed and said to Liu Fang with a smile, "Girl, wash up first, and eat later. This time, we also cooked mutton soup."

Liu Fang smiled, "Well, good."

It's all over, really good!

...

In the next few years, Xijiang ushered in unprecedented changes.

The military is getting stronger and stronger year by year, and the people's life, thanks to Liu Fang's hard work, has finally improved: grain production has gradually increased, and some by-products have also been developed.

For example, the natural kind of firewood can be made into charcoal. It has no smoke, it is also very resistant to burning, and its firepower is also very powerful. It is deeply loved by Jin Manshan, the prince of Chengguo.

Yes, Liu Fang united Jin Manshan, Princess Zhaoyang and Ximen Linghan of Qu Guo.

One sent things from Xijiang for her to sell in exchange for anything she wanted. One became a military doctor in western Xinjiang, helped Professor Liu Fang to become a doctor, and saved the lives of injured sergeants. The last one is to go out with Guo Wei to find orphans and send them to Xijiang to increase the vitality of Xijiang.

That's right, Liu Fang finally left Guo Wei and Hongzang in Kyoto. The intention is to find out about the news for her, find suitable orphans by the way, and send them to Xijiang. A man who takes care of the industrial mansion in Kyoto for her, etc., also pays attention to the trends in Beijing for her.

In addition, the main general of the main city, the two generals of Huicheng and Liangcheng, gradually communicated with Liu Fang in private, sharing resources with each other, whether it was armament or various news.

On the surface, these three people wrote to Emperor Yanqing day by day, impeaching how domineering Liu Fang was. In fact, they are all the same as Liu Fang, they just want to fool everyone in the outside world, muffled

Make a fortune, strengthen the military in the western Xinjiang, and improve the lives of the people here.

But Emperor Yanqing, who was far away in the capital, did not know that, under his nose, before he knew it, the entire Great Yan Kingdom and the entire court were changing.

He had always thought that he was still the supreme emperor who spoke his word and was respected by all the people.

On the side of Dayanguo, Liu Fang doesn't need to worry, on the side of the barbarians, he has been very honest and obedient over the years: the ransom is paid every year, and there is absolutely no arrears.

Liu Fang naturally gave them the antidote that should be given.

However, there is another person that everyone is about to forget, and that is Liu Zhi.

When she heard Liu Fang wanted to kill her, she was still timid and afraid of death, so she ran away.

This was also expected by Liu Fang, so she would deliberately scare her and let her escape.

The purpose, in fact, is to let the barbarians capture her. In fact, this is just a bait she deliberately gave: a sister who behaves like a treason, is caught and threatened by the enemy, and then she kills her relatives righteously and kills her directly, no Does it make sense?

Even if Liu Zhi was not killed later, Liu Fang's reputation and the Liu family's reputation would not be damaged because of Liu Zhi, and they were still deeply respected by the people of Dayan.

It is precisely because Liu Fang has such a sister who lives in an enemy country that she is more and more miserable and sympathetic.

Sometimes, the more vulnerable people are, the more sympathy others will sympathize with her.

Liu Fang deliberately let Liu Zhi go for the same reason.

Of course, the most important point is that Liu Zhi is very self-righteous, and she is Liu Fang's sister. Even if the barbarian tribe thinks that she is not so valuable, they do not dare to kill her like this.

On the contrary, the smarter the person, the more they want to use Liu Zhi.

Tuoba Yaoheng is like this.

He even married Liu Zhi as his side concubine, and Liu Zhi agreed, which made Liu Fang very speechless: This sister-in-law has really read a lot of time travel novels, and she easily forgot her national hatred and family hatred and married her. The enemy who killed his father was also drunk.

As for how did she know?

Oh, it's very simple!

The most trusted slave girl around Liu Zhi was Liu Fang's.

This is also one of the most important reasons for Liu Fang to let her go: the halo of time-travelling women has always been great, and she just wanted to see if that was the case.

As it turns out, it does.

After Liu Zhi went to the barbarian tribe, he used his personal space to do a lot of incredible things, so that Tuoba Yaoheng noticed her, and then he married her as a concubine, and even

She was also willing to let her keep the female slave she rescued as her personal maid.

This is what Liu Fang wanted: a female slave who was specially sent so that she could stay by Liu Zhi's side and become the person closest to Tuoba Yaoheng, the top noble of the barbarian tribe.

Then, feel free to pass the message back.

...

When the news that Emperor Yanqing was seriously ill came from Beijing, Liu Fang was harvesting the rice before the winter moon in the army field.

Liu Feng is already thirteen years old and looks very similar to his father Liu Kuan. Under Liu Fang's guidance over the years, he has grown very fast. Now he has begun to take Chen Fang's place and work by Liu Fang's side. .

"Auntie, there is news from Beijing!"

Liu Fang got up, put down the cut rice, came over with the sickle, took the bamboo tube he handed over with one hand, and handed the sickle to him with the other, and asked at the same time, "Today's homework has been completed. ?"

Liu Feng bowed before saying, "It's done, Auntie."

After he finished speaking, he smiled at Liu Fang flatteringly.

As soon as Liu Fang saw it, he knew that he was running out and messing around again, "Are you going with Cheng Huo this time?"

Liu Feng scratched his head embarrassedly, "Auntie..."

Liu Fang rolled her eyes and said angrily, "As you wish, you are willing to go up and die anyway. Humph!"

Liu Feng was frightened by her words, so he quickly bowed and said, "Auntie, Feng'er has absolutely no intention of this! It's just that those savages are too hateful. After so many years, they still don't know how to restrain their lessons..."

However, Liu Fang interrupted him lightly, "Barbarians have always been like this. Over the years, they have paid more, and their lives have become more difficult, so they are even more deadly. Are you planning to die too?"

This year, the ransom has to be paid every year. Although the barbarian tribes dare not default, it looks like it is very difficult. It should be said that the people at the bottom have been looted by the nobles of the upper class and can't survive.

These barbarians, in groups of three or five, finally came to Dayan or Ling to loot/loot. Liu Fang basically caught them, then locked them up, fed them with medicine, and dragged them to open up wasteland for farming. How many? as much as she catches.

But this doesn't solve the fact that barbarians come to harass.

Liu Fang also knew that after seven years, the barbarian's vitality had recovered, and now it was time to do things again.

However, the current Western Xinjiang is not what it used to be. Over the years, the barbarian's ransom has been withheld by her as military expenses in the Western Xinjiang.

Although Emperor Yanqing was depressed, Liu Fang's prestige had not weakened over the years, and the reasons she gave were also

Enough, as the emperor, he can't forcefully grab these ransoms.

The most important thing is that over the years, Liu Fang has sent people to deliver supplies to various places in Dayan for disaster relief. The common people all know that when Princess Zhen Guo took the ransom from the barbarians, she was planning for the common people in the world, and every cent was spent on the common people. They naturally supported it, and Emperor Yanqing had nothing to do.

He could only watch Liu Fang helplessly, leaving these huge ransoms in a grand manner for the development of the Western Frontier.

Now that Emperor Yanqing is seriously ill, presumably the barbarians also know about it, and they will definitely take this opportunity to make trouble.

Liu Fang ignored the embarrassed Liu Feng standing on the side, she opened the bamboo tube, took out the note, read it, pondered for a moment, and said, "Feng'er, since you want to do it, auntie will let you do it this time. But, you have to remember: if you lose, you will not only lose your life, but the entire people of Western Xinjiang. Do you understand?"

With a happy face, Liu Feng saluted solemnly: "Don't worry, Auntie, Feng'er will never let you down, and will definitely guard the western border up and down!"

"Well, very good. Go, gather everyone, let's get ready for the next arrangement."

"Yes, Auntie!"
