I'm playing tricks in Daqin

"what……"

Baili Ruyi was taken aback, and her pretty eyes once again focused on the two weird shapes on the paper. Now that she could see the two weird shapes clearly, she couldn't help thinking about how such a tiny bit of fabric could cover them up. Woolen cloth?

But...but, if you wear it on your body, it's really seductive. I'm afraid there isn't any man in the world who can withstand the temptation. It's no wonder they don't go crazy.

But think about it, scholars die for those who know themselves, and women look for those who please them. If she wears such an extremely flirtatious little thing for the man she loves, it must... must... Slowly, her pretty face emerges The blushing red clouds, the amorous glances in the eyes, are so soul-stirring.

124 chapters of a love poem

Li Wei smiled and said: "This is the best care for the body, so you have to use the softest and thinnest fabric, and it would be even better if you could embroider it with exquisite lace. Hehe, there is only one in the world. It is a small gift from me to Patriarch Baili."

"Master..."

Baili Ruyi, who was extremely shy, rolled her eyes at him, with a soul-stirring feeling of spring in her brows, that long-lost feeling seemed to surge deep in her body.

Li Wei rubbed his hands and giggled, "What I said is true. If you don't believe me, try making one yourself. I dare say, Patriarch, if you wear it on your body, it must be... definitely... good."

"You... ouch..."

Baili Ruyi seemed to want to get something, but didn't want to be tripped by something. She cried out in surprise and fell to the side. Li Wei stretched out his hand in time to support him.

Wen Xiang nephrite embraced her arms, Li Wei was not polite at all, and with a little effort in his arms, he tightly hugged that soft and boneless waist.

"Master...don't do this...let go...ah..."

Baili Ruyi exclaimed, and instinctively twisted her tender body to struggle, not so much as a struggle, but as a deliberate tease, at least, Li Wei felt like this, twisting and turning like this, which normal man would it be? The fire has to be big.

Sensing the obvious change in him, Baili Ruyi groaned, and wrapped Li Wei tightly like octopus.

In the hall, all kinds of provocative voices sounded... When Li Wei, whose hands and feet were weak, slipped out of the courtyard where Baili Ruyi lived alone, it was already noon the next day, and he walked back to his guest room , when he was about to open the door, he happened to meet Xiao Xiaoxiao who came out of another room.

"Have you eaten? I just went for a walk...hehe..."

Feeling guilty, he let out a haha, hurried into his guest room, yawned, and fell on the bed, intending to catch up on some sleep.

After tossing and tossing for a whole night, Superman really couldn't take it anymore. Baili Ruyi has been a widow for many years. Once he lets go, he is no longer a licentious word. up.

Li Wei has just practiced the Nine Suns Divine Art not long ago, and is still in the stage of foundation building. Although he is born with a strong capital, he still feels overwhelmed. Baili Ruyi's fighting power is several times more fierce than Kong Rongqinger, Zhuang Xier, Zhongli Shengnan and the four combined .

Li Wei fell into a dizzy sleep this time, and slept until the sun was about to set before waking up, and washed his face in a hurry before going to the banquet.

Tonight's banquet is still held in Baili Ruyi's courtyard, but unlike last night, only Baili Ruyi and Li Wei, Qing'er, Xiao Xiaoxiao, Wuyou and others are present, and several members of Baili's The elders also came to sit and accompany.

"On behalf of the Baili family, I would like to thank the young master for his kindness and offer a toast to the young master."

Baili Ruyi picked up the wine glass and toasted Li Wei with a smile on her face. Her watery eyes were still captivating, but there was more ambiguity than usual.

Sitting next to Qinger, Xiao Xiaoxiao looked at Qinger, and then at Baili Ruyi. For some reason, she had a strange feeling in her heart. She felt that Baili Ruyi seemed a little different today. Well, she couldn't speak again.

"Sister Ruyi's toast, how dare Baoyu refuse to drink?"

Li Wei grinned, remembering the madness of last night, he couldn't help but feel a wave in his heart, Sister Ruyi is really a natural beauty, she specializes in seducing men's souls, she really answered the sentence "Death under the peony flower, even being a ghost is romantic"

what.

Xiao Xiaoxiaoliu frowned slightly again, she figured it out, Baili Ruyi flirted with Young Master Li, it was clearly a little ambiguous, which made her feel a little uncomfortable, and couldn't help but give birth to a bit of resentment.

Well, you are flirtatious, I don't care about you if you hook up everywhere, but it's fine if you hook up with other good girls, but you go to hook up with a widow, and she is still a widow who has the notoriety of Kefu, how can she feel so bad?

The capital of the Jin Empire, Xijing, Marshal's Mansion.

Mingzhu rested her cheeks in her hands, staring at the scenery outside the window in a trance, her pretty face was a little erratic, appearing preoccupied.

Since Jiayue's separation, she and Young Master Li have been in correspondence with each other, most of which are about ordinary interesting and anecdotal stories, and occasionally comment on current political affairs, etc., and her unique insights are often right on target, which greatly admires Mingzhu.

The correspondence between the two of them didn't mention their children's personal relationship, and it felt like a gentleman's friendship. In the letter, Young Master Li didn't even call her little lady, but called her Brother Ming.

These days, Mingzhu has become used to receiving two letters from him every month and replying them in time. Moreover, the time is quite punctual, mostly the first letter at the beginning of the month and the second letter at the end of the month, the difference is only two or three days.

But today is already the middle of the month, and she hasn't received his first letter until now, which makes her somewhat uncomfortable, and feels like something is missing in her heart?Is he too busy?Or was the messenger delayed on the way?Or... for some other reason?

Mingzhu stared blankly at the scenery outside the window, her whole person seemed a little lazy, her mind was always distracted, even if she had something to do, she didn't bother to deal with it.

"Little lady, little lady, here comes a letter from Li Langjun."

The personal maid Zhen'er yelled loudly, holding up a letter in her hand, and ran in like a whirlwind.

Mingzhu stood up abruptly, grabbed the letter, and said angrily, "Why are you shouting so loudly, do you want people in the whole continent to hear it?"

Zhen'er stuck out her tongue playfully, made a grimace, and said with a smile: "Little lady, what did Li Langjun say this time?"

Mingzhu rolled her eyes, opened the envelope and read, looking at the familiar thin book with hard pen, the corners of her lips curled up slightly, revealing a happy smile.

However, very quickly, a stunned look first slowly appeared on her pretty face, and then slowly became full of moving blush, looking a little shy.

This time, in addition to the normal polite words, a certain person also mentioned one thing in the letter, saying that he fell in love with a certain little lady, and because of this, he didn't think about eating and drinking, but he didn't know what the other party was thinking, so he didn't dare Confession, I can only be bored in my mind, lovesick alone, very uncomfortable, and at the end of the letter, I also attached a poem written for that little lady to describe the pain of lovesickness in my heart.

I live on the right side of the Nujiang River, and you live on the left side of the Nujiang River.

I miss you every day and don't see you, and drink the water of the Nu River together.

When will the water rest, and when will the hatred be over.

I only wish that the king's heart resembles my heart, and I will never let go of love.

Mingzhu chanted in a low voice repeatedly, her smooth jade cheeks were full of touching blush.

This poem melts love into water, uses water to express love, the love is endless, the words are as clear as words, simple and fresh, yet tortuous and euphemistic, implicit and deep, making people unable to help themselves.

"Little lady, little lady."

"Ah...what's the matter?"

Mingzhu was immersed in the artistic conception of the poem, her thoughts were a little confused, when she heard Zhener's untimely call, she couldn't help but glared at her.

"Little lady, His Royal Highness, please see me."

Zhen'er quickly explained that at such a time, the little lady should not be disturbed, but the presence of His Royal Highness is not something she can stop.

Mingzhu Liu frowned slightly, her pretty face turned cold, and she said coldly: "Just say that I'm not feeling well, and I've already fallen asleep."

She looked at the letter in her hand and let out a low sigh. This mood was ruined so well, alas...

Chapter 125 Invisible War

Li Wei lived in Baili's Mansion in Jingnan for a few days, and enjoyed Baili Ruyi's infinite tenderness and style comfortably. When he returned, his steps were a bit vain.

When this guy was triumphant, he couldn't help sighing, everyone said that Ruanxiang is the tomb of heroes, but there are still countless men in the world who would rather go through fire and water and die drunk in Ruanxiang without frowning.

Returning to Jiayue City a few days ago, Daddy Cheap is still arguing with the envoys sent by the imperial court one after another. No matter what these envoys say, he insists on this. Some of them were so angry that they vomited blood.

Some hardliners found a distant relative of the Lan family from nowhere, raised the banner of revenge, recruited troops in Chang'an, formed the Lan family's volunteer army, and prepared to take back Hongfeng Province.

Some counselors in the Li family's think tank suggested sending a dead man to kill the Lan family's nephew, but Li Wei and Tian Ce Wu You, the left and right military advisers, opposed it.

The so-called Lan's Volunteer Army is just a mob, and it can't make a big difference at all. The trouble is only its supporters behind the scenes. It is obvious that Chang'an is instigating it.

Li Wei suppressed this matter, but let Ding Xi, the commander of the inner guard, send some secret spies to infiltrate the Lan's Volunteer Army to wait for orders. Perhaps in the future, this Lan's Volunteer Army may become an excuse for him to enter Chang'an.

Some people in Chang'an also suggested that Lan's nephew should be made the prefect of Hongfeng Province, and forcefully enter Hongfeng Province to see if Li Shi is really defiant and dares to kill the court officials?However, this proposal was suppressed by the King of Qin, not to mention what kind of reaction Jiayue Li would have on this matter, even if the prefect of Hongfeng was really granted, and the Jiayue garrison opened the city to let people in, but there are really people who dare Entering the Red Maple Realm?

The court's condemnation of Jiayue's Li family continued, and the two sides continued to argue, while Li Wei developed his strength silently. After the war, Hongfeng Province not only did not panic and decline, on the contrary, it developed better than Lan Yuntong. Even better, this is entirely due to Li's preferential policies such as tax reduction and exemption, as well as a large amount of financial support.

The thoughts of the common people are very simple and simple, whoever feeds them well and dresses them warmly is a good official and emperor, and they will support whoever, Hongfeng Province's people's hearts are so stable that the envoy sent by Chang'an is speechless.

Li Wei is currently concerned about the mining of mineral deposits besides smelting the military. When the first batch of iron ore was transferred from mountain to mountain, fell from the top of the mountain, and was transported to the Wujiacun smelter, he Only then did I breathe a sigh of relief.

Half a month later, when the first batch of copper ore arrived at the smelter, Li Wei immediately ordered the blacksmith to step up refining, and at the same time quietly called Wu You into the study.

The reason why Li Wei launched the war against Hongfeng in advance was because he took a fancy to the mines in Shuanghugang in the Qiyun Mountain Range. Needless to say, the usefulness of iron ores goes without saying. There is only one mine in Jiayue Province, which has been mined for many years, and the reserves are not much. Most of them rely on buying from foreign countries or other provinces. In the continent with extremely backward technology, the price of iron ore is too high, and it is still under the control of people. It is not as safe as mining by yourself.

In fact, the mines in Shuanghugang also contain a large amount of copper ore and a small amount of silver. Silver is hard currency. After copper is cast, it is a large amount of money in circulation. Finding a copper mine is equivalent to holding a money printing machine in your hand.

He wants to mint money, but what he mints are inferior coins that are mixed with other metal components and are easy to shatter and chip. Then he will throw a large amount of money into the enemy country, buy a large amount of food and other materials, disrupt the economy of the enemy country, and enrich the treasury. Prepare carefully for the next coming war, the so-called currency war.

The effect of the currency war is very, very slow, and the effect will not be seen in a short period of time. It may take two or three years, but the effect of the damage is very huge, which can cause currency devaluation, skyrocketing prices, panic among people, and social unrest. Caused serious dissatisfaction among the people against those in power.

Si Wuyou couldn't help taking a deep breath. This so-called currency war is really terrible. The young master's plan is sinister enough, not much worse than the family plan. No wonder the young master not only did not let Tian Ce Wen Zishan and other confidants participate this time, Don't even let them know, to put it a little bit viciously, it hurts the harmony of nature.

He couldn't help feeling a little uneasy, but also a little excited. The young master entrusted him with such an important matter alone, which is the complete trust and reuse of him. Moreover, although this matter is not visible, the rewards are rich. As long as you are not too greedy, the young master will not blame you.

Li Wei patted him on the shoulder, and said earnestly: "Old witch, this matter is too important. I don't feel relieved to leave it to others. After much deliberation, I can only leave it to you."

Wu You was so moved that his eyes turned red, his chest straightened up, and he said excitedly: "Young master, please rest assured, this subordinate will definitely handle this matter safely."

Early the next morning, according to the plan, he quietly selected a [-]-man team and several experienced craftsmen from the army, and secretly minted bad coins in a farm outside Hongfeng City. A secret stronghold of secret agents, basically all of them are their own people.

In order to show his loyalty, Wu You invited several people from Li Wei's guard to serve as the leading officers. The cleverness of these guys made Li Wei angry and funny, but he still agreed to his request.

After finding enough manpower and choosing a good place, the copper ingots refined by the Wujiazhuang Smelter were transported secretly and stored in the warehouse of the farm. Mint bad coins.

When the minted bad coins reach a certain amount, they will be packed and transported away, and a team of fully armed guards will be in charge of escorting them. Afterwards, these wooden boxes full of bad coins will be stored in the No. [-] warehouse of the Universal Chamber of Commerce headquarters, and dispatched The guards are on guard, and no one can enter without the young master's command arrow.

Most of these bad coins were put into the Tang Empire through the caravans of the Universal Chamber of Commerce to purchase a large amount of food, cloth, iron ore and other materials. Pay bad coins by the amount, and pay a certain amount of handling fee to Bailishi.

For Bailishi, this business is a no-cost business, only earning but not losing, the premise is to use Bailishi's reputation as a guarantee. The relationship between Baili Ruyi and Li Wei is already the highest among the elder members of Bailishi. It's a semi-open secret. Moreover, if someone had plotted against him, he wouldn't have had to spend so much effort to save Bailishi who was facing a desperate situation.

Therefore, the elders of Bailishi are not worried at all that Li Wei will cheat people. If he has to be said to be ambitious, then his ambition should be Baili Ruyi. Baili's embrace of Young Master Li's thigh has only advantages and no disadvantages, so no one said that Baili Ruyi was wrong.

Currency war is an invisible war. If Li Wei didn't say it, no one would know its harm. For Bailishi, they are doing business in a serious way to make money. How could they think of this?

Moreover, the aristocratic family has always put the family's interests first, and the family's interests come first, followed by state affairs, and world affairs come last.

When a large amount of bad money was thrown into the Tang Empire through various channels, and all kinds of material resources were continuously transported back to Jiayue City, Li Weizhi grinned very happily.

Chapter 126 Chang'an Journey

Li Wei is not in a hurry for the release of bad coins. He usually mixes two or three hundred bad coins in a drop of money, and puts them out bit by bit, and then patiently waits for the danger of the currency war to emerge slowly. come out.

Anyway, Li Wei is not in a hurry. Qingchuan Province has not yet been annexed, the Qin Empire has not yet been fully controlled, and its strength is strong enough to launch a national war. He will not attack the Tang Empire for the time being. , and then develop, or continue to develop.

The division of labor between the father and son is detailed. The cheap father sits in Jiayue and is responsible for managing the government affairs of the provincial government and wrangling with the envoys from Chang'an. Think tank, this guy is almost a hands-off shopkeeper now, throwing almost all the big and small things to his subordinates, and he is so leisurely that he has nothing to do.

Li Wei, who is bored in every way, would go shopping occasionally, and sometimes flirt with good girls from good families, hook up with beautiful young women and other absurd things.

Now Xiao Xiaoxiao, who has almost become his personal bodyguard, can't get used to it and has no choice but to sulk in his heart, who is he?

Secondly, if this kind of stealing incense and jade is an ordinary person, they will be stigmatized as prostitutes and other infamy, and in the end they will either be detained as officials or soaked in pig cages, but the young master has the aura of celebrities on his head. It's not called adultery, it's an elegant and interesting story that people talk about.

Don't you see, the majestic Hongfeng famous person, Wen Zishan, who is a lot of age, often hangs around the brothel, singing the wind and moonlight with his arms around Fentou, even burying his whole face in Fentou's towering chest, or arching his whole head Into the skirt of the fan head, this is the so-called celebrity.

This kind of phenomenon is reasonable and legal in mainland China. Li Wei doesn't want to comment on this absurdity. Anyway, the feeling of being a celebrity is really good and refreshing at this time.

Just as Dad Cheap was still arguing with the envoys from Chang'an, Prince Qin Yonghua suddenly fell ill and died suddenly. King Qin Shizheng was so sad that he vomited blood and fainted on the spot.

When Li Wei received the handwritten letter from Mr. Cheap, his whole face was wrinkled like a bitter gourd. Mr. Cheap actually asked him to go to Chang'an to mourn the dead ghost prince on behalf of Jiayue Li. Didn't this push him into the fire pit?Tian Ce smiled and said, "Young master, please rest assured that even if Chang'an wants to do something, they don't dare to do so. Just be careful and watch out for their tricks."

He analyzed a lot for Li Wei. Among the three major provinces of the Qin Empire, the Jiayue Li family is the most powerful. In the past, the King of Qin did not dare to blatantly force it. Now the Li family has annexed Hongfeng Province, and its strength has become The times have skyrocketed. If the court wants to do something, it must consider the serious consequences. Secondly, the more it is at this time, the more the court dare not do anything.

Furthermore, the imperial court is not monolithic. It is divided into factions. There are five princes of the imperial party and the princeling party. The left servant shoots Sima Lang and other ministers. They hold real power. In addition, there are several big families behind them. The wind-driven wall faction can be ignored.

In addition, among the civil and military officials, there are also officials from the three provinces of Li Lankong, such as the imperial envoy Xiang Wendong, who is the spokesperson of Li Gang stationed in Chang'an.

However, those people dared not come, and it is possible to play tricks. They still have to be careful of assassins and dead soldiers, like the Lan's Volunteer Army.

Going to Chang'an to express condolences here is to show that the Li family is still loyal to the Qin Dynasty, at least in form.

Secondly, there may be some unexpected things happen, and if you grasp it well, you can use it to make things bigger and distract the court's attention, so that they don't have much thought to pay attention to Li's annexation of Hongfeng Province. one thing.

In order to ensure the safety of his trip, the army will gather in the two cities of Anping and Chongyang, assuming that they can attack at any time. This is mainly to put pressure on Chang'an, and they can also support him to return safely at any time.

Prior to this, Ding Xi, the commander of the inner guard, had been ordered by the old guard Li Gang to send a large number of secret agents of the inner guard to sneak into Chang'an to inquire about the news and secretly protect him along the way.

Li Wei had no choice but to order Bei Gongchun, the leader of the special forces, to lead a team to Anping City first. 500 people stayed in the city to wait for orders, and the other 500 people sneaked to Chang'an first. , Wu You, the right army master, and 300 personal guards, under the escort of [-] tiger and leopard cavalry, headed for Chang'an mightily.

For the sake of the so-called righteousness, Li Wei felt that it was not worthwhile to work so hard and spend a lot of money. However, in this continent, it is really troublesome to lack this stuff.

At the same time when Li Wei led the crowd to Anping City, the army stationed in Hongfeng was mobilized on a large scale. Due to the huge pressure, Chang'an had to send more troops to garrison Yiyun and Yunluo cities. The prefect of Qingchuan, Kong Ning, also hastily recruited young and strong men to form a new army to strengthen the defense of Yulin Pass. The defense of the two cities of Gucheng and Jincheng bordering the Tang Empire is probably the reason why it is said that one move can affect the whole body.

Li Wei led [-] tiger and leopard cavalry to leave the customs in a mighty manner, which not only caused panic among the people in Chang'an, but also made the court extremely nervous. Before that, there was a Red Maple Lan clan blocking and suppressing it. Now, the Li clan has annexed the entire Hongfeng Province , A direct threat to the safety of Chang'an.

The old governor, Li Gang, has stationed heavy troops in Anping and Chongyang. If something happens to Li Wei, the army will surely reach Chang'an. Can the ministers not worry?

As a last resort, the imperial court sent a thousand feather guards to meet and guard Li Wei to ensure his safety.

On the way to Chang'an, along the way, internal guards and secret agents kept sending back news. It is said that the Lan's Volunteer Army, which is still recruiting troops, is ready to move, and some people even offered a huge bonus of 1000 taels of gold just to buy Li Wei. head.

For a while, assassins gathered in Chang'an, which made the court very nervous. If something happened to Li Wei in Chang'an, it would be a big trouble. For a while, the officers and soldiers quickly dispatched the whole city, and all the snakes and rats in the city hid in other places to avoid the limelight. Yes, there were also some assassins of unknown origin who were caught by the officers and soldiers, who were torn to death, and finally died under random knives.

After this disturbance, those rangers who roamed the rivers and lakes did not dare to step into Chang'an City, and it also brought a lot of trouble to the lurking internal guards and secret agents. Fortunately, the imperial envoy Xiang Wendong was his own, and he had him to protect him. Only then did the disaster of innocence be avoided.

Hearing these news, Li Wei couldn't help being overjoyed. Before he arrived in Chang'an, Chang'an has already become like this?
