I did evil in the feudal land, but I was called a virtuous king

That afternoon, shopkeeper Tian and others sent all the silver they brought to the Ping An Chamber of Commerce, and left with the goods contentedly.

This time the goods they took away included spirits and soap, and some other things.

Because they didn't have enough money, what they took away this time was a loan certificate from Ping An Bank!

Li An gave Princess Le Yao enough face and didn't let them leave any collateral.

Princess Le Yao is a majestic princess of a country, so she can't not repay the loan she owes herself, can she?

If he really dared to blackmail his own money, he would have to bring someone to the door to demand the account!

……

It's night, Beijing.

At midnight, the gates of the capital were closed tightly, and soldiers were patrolling the walls.

Suddenly there was a rush of hoofbeats.

The soldiers hurriedly looked into the distance.

Not long after, a horse galloped forward with a soldier on its back.

"It's eight hundred miles in a hurry, open the city gate!"

The city gate opened, and everyone found that the soldier was lying on the horse's back covered in blood, and he had only one breath.

"Call the military doctor!"

The soldier on horseback exhausted his last bit of strength, handed over the letter in his hand to others, and said weakly: "The 30 troops of the Rong tribe are approaching Fengyang Pass, and Fengyang Pass is in danger!"

After the words fell, the soldier's hands dropped heavily.

……

The palace, the imperial study.

"Your Majesty, there is an urgent message from the northern border, and the Rong people are calling!"

Not long after, several ministers surrounded the imperial study with anxious faces, arguing fiercely about something.

"I beg your Majesty boldly to send troops to Fengyang Pass." A minister knelt on the ground.

"Your Majesty, you must not start a war. Once a war starts, it will waste people and money, and there will be countless casualties." Another minister said sharply.

"The Rong people have reached Fengyang Pass, now we are not going to fight, but the war has already broken out!" The former glared at the latter angrily.

The latter continued, not to be outdone, "Your Majesty, we can send people to lobby for peace talks. If it can be resolved through other means, we must not proceed rashly!"

"Everyone is calling and making peace talks, peace talks are a fart!" The former also had a bad temper and yelled directly.

"Hmph, you military generals know how to fight and kill all day long. You know that fighting wastes people's money and wastes money. It consumes the treasury and the fortune of our country!"

"Enough!" The old emperor roared with a sullen face.

"Sending someone to ask for peace before the war started, wouldn't the children of the Rong tribe underestimate my majesty?" The old emperor's eyes were cold.

"The minister of the Ministry of War listens to the order."

"The minister is here."

"Deploying 30 elite troops to aid Fengyang Pass, we will definitely drive the children of the Rong tribe back wherever they came from!"

"The minister takes orders!"

The Minister of the Ministry of War got up and was about to go down to dispatch troops, when another urgent letter came from [-] li: "Your Majesty, Fengyang Pass has been lost!"

The old emperor's eyes widened, his eyes full of disbelief.

After a while, the old emperor roared with a gloomy face: "In less than an hour, why did Fengyang Pass fall? What does the guard do for food?"

"Your Majesty, the guard at the Fengyang Gate saw that the Rong people were approaching menacingly, and after losing tens of thousands of guards, he abandoned the gate and fled."

"Bang~" The old emperor slammed his fist on the table and roared angrily, "Waste, a bunch of waste!"

"The minister of the Ministry of War listened to the order and sent 30 elite soldiers to the northern border as soon as possible. We must take back Fengyang Pass."

……

The news of the army of the Rong tribe spreading across Dahua in an instant.

Li An sat in the yard, looking at the information Liu Qing brought back for him.

"Yiyi, the world is going to be chaotic." Li An sighed a long time.

Why can't you let yourself travel to a peaceful and prosperous age?

He just wants to travel around the mountains and play in the water and wine.

After speaking, Li An stood up.

Liu Yiyi obediently followed behind Li An.

The two went directly to Beichen Academy and found Wang Hu in Wuyuan.

Wang Hu was teaching a group of boys how to box and kick. When he saw Li An appearing, he happily moved over.

"My lord, you are here."

Li An nodded to Wang Hu, and Wang Hu instantly understood, "My lord, please come to the house."

Inside the house, Li An handed over the information brought back by Liu Qing to Wang Hu.

Wang Hu was illiterate, scratching his head in embarrassment: "My lord, you forgot, I am illiterate."

Li An gave Wang Hu a blank look, and asked Liu Yiyi to tell Wang Hu the contents of the letter.

After listening, Wang Hu also stood up indignantly: "Fengyang Pass was lost in less than an hour. It is not too much for the Fengyang Pass guard to punish his nine clans."

Li An nodded, and heaved a long sigh: "Now the government and the public, including the army, are all descendants of aristocratic families.

These people have no ambitions and no skills, and they only go to the army to make money by plating gold. This kind of situation will happen again in the future. "

"Old Wang, from today onwards, you will no longer be teaching in the martial arts academy."

"Yes." Wang Hu nodded respectfully, and looked at Li An solemnly: "Is the prince planning to let his subordinates lead troops to help the northern border?"

"Huh?" Li An frowned and looked at Wang Hu in confusion: "Even if this king wants to go to the northern border to regain the lost land, the people in the court may not think highly of our troops."

"My Dahua also has millions of soldiers. The front line will not collapse too quickly. You go to recruit troops now, we have to prepare in advance."

"My lord, how many soldiers and horses are we recruiting this time?"

"As many recruits as there are, remember to act in secrecy, the world will soon be chaotic, and there will be no more moths."

"Yes!"

After Wang Hu left, Li An was still sitting in the room, and he felt a little lucky in his heart.

Fortunately, there was no war when he first traveled here, and he has accumulated enough wealth in the past few years.

Now Li An only needs to be prepared, and the soldiers will come to cover up the water and the earth.

Chapter 116 Another one

As time passed day by day, Li An sent most of the workers to collect iron ore and make weapons.

Some of the weapons made by Li An were sent to the capital, and sent by the Ministry of War to support the front line.

The rest is piled up in Ang Li's warehouse.

When the Rong tribe invaded, some people were happy while others were worried. Li Xu and Li Fu were very happy to see this situation.

Although the frontline battlefield is filled with dead and dying people every day, they can also use the excuse of preparing for war to continue to expand their power.

At the same time, Anlin City.

He Wei has not been idle recently. Although the restaurant and the auction house were burned down, he still asked people to sell the two buildings immediately.

It is decorated according to the style of the original Ping An Restaurant and Ping An Auction House.

On the first day of the restaurant's opening, there were a large number of people cheering for it. Once they tasted the food, they couldn't explain it in words. No one went there the next day.

It's not that the chef He Wei hired is too hip, but that the food culture in this society is not developed.

The dishes here are really not as good as those cooked by the cooks taught by Li An.

After eating delicacies from mountains and seas, how can you swallow the chaff?

Coupled with the high fees, the fool only went to his restaurant for consumption.

The restaurant couldn't make any money, so He Wei pinned his hopes on the auction house. For this reason, he sent all the rare treasures that others gave him to the auction house.

But on the day of the auction, the crowd was empty.

Everyone in Anlin City believed that the previous fire was the punishment of God caused by the auction, so no one dared to go even if Hewei's auction got any rare treasures.

For fear of offending the gods in the sky.

Frustrated one after another, why did he hate Li Wan'er even more, and by the way, he also hated the people behind Li Wan'er behind the scenes.

When people are unlucky, drinking cold water will stuff their teeth.

Originally, He Wei kept the soap in his house and engaged in hunger marketing, and he copied a piece of soap to more than a thousand taels.

But recently there have been a lot of soaps on the market, and they only sell for 100 taels.

He Wei didn't care at first, he knew that someone was deliberately lowering the market price of soap, and he guessed it was Princess Le Yao.

Thinking that Princess Le Yao didn't have much soap in her hands, and when she sold out, she would continue to drive up the price.

But after a few days, more and more soaps were flowing out on the market, so why panic.

Could it be that Princess Le Yao can get a steady stream of soap?

In this case, the hundreds of bars of soap in my warehouse will rot in my hands?

I bought these soaps at a unit price of 500 taels, and if they are all rotten in my hands, I will die?

Although he didn't care about this little money, but when he thought of Li Wan'er, he changed his mind.

Killing and punishing one's heart, this is proper killing and punishing one's heart!

……

"The person who went to Dahua to inquire about the news is back?" He Wei looked at his subordinate with a sullen face.

The subordinate lowered his head, a little flustered, "No news has come back yet."

"Continue to send people to Dahua, and I must find out Li Wan'er's details!"

"Yes!"

Another group of light and strong men put on their outfits and set off from Anlin City to Qingshui County.

……

Iron Mine in Qingshui County.

The person He Wei sent to inquire about the news swung his round pickaxe and chiseled vigorously, sweating all over the floor.

He Wei sent them to Dahua to inquire about the news, but by coincidence, they happened to meet Li An who was vigorously mining.

These people of unknown origin were directly thrown on the carriage and sent to mining without any accident.

There is no fixed time limit for mining this time, and it is unknown when they can go back.

In this mine, apart from the unknown spies sent by He Wei, there were also bandits captured by Ang Li from the bandits in several nearby counties.

The people in southern Xinjiang have their own jobs, and Li An, who is in short supply, extends his claws to the surrounding counties.

Li An is the only fief king in the entire Southern Territory, and the sheriffs of other counties have long heard of Li An's vicious reputation.

Li An wanted to send people to suppress the bandits on their territory, but they didn't dare to let a fart go, they organized Fubing Xiangyong to cooperate with Li An to suppress the bandits.

Even the prisoners in the cell were packed up by Li An and taken away to mine.

……

"My lord, there is new news from the capital." Liu Qing stood in front of Li An respectfully, and handed a piece of paper to Li An.

Li An opened the letter to check, frowning.

The 30 elite soldiers sent by the imperial court confronted the Rong people head-on, but were instantly dispersed by the Rong people's iron cavalry, causing heavy casualties.

In this battle, Dahua suffered a disastrous defeat and its morale was low.
