Chapter 110 – Intrigue

Xiaobai didn't stay in a daze for a long time. In fact, he, a mere human being, reacted more quickly than the monsters and dignitaries present, and immediately mobilized all his thoughts and began to organize the draft.

Things like the political situation seem to be treacherous, but at some special times it depends on the emperor's whim.Looking at it now, the emperor's "whim" thought was far beyond everyone's imagination.

Even though the emperor didn't express his meaning clearly, the implication was quite clear. It's not hard to guess that the emperor wanted to take advantage of the Fenggou Mountain Rebellion to completely change the management system of the mining area.After all, it is a system that has been passed down for many years, which will give everyone an illusion that this system will continue endlessly.In the face of such a sudden change, I am afraid that no one can come up with a reform plan.

Xiaobai didn't have mature ideas either.

However, that doesn't mean he never thought about it.Even though he hid his ambitions tightly so that no one would find out, in private, he still couldn't restrain his unconstrained imagination, no matter it was a matter that should be considered as it should be, or something that should not be meddled in rebellion, he All thought through.

So even if the idea is not fully formed, it has a general direction.

Xiaobai realized that such a good opportunity would be difficult to meet again in this life.While making his brain run fast, he weighed his words carefully, and said slowly, "I don't know if the emperor has been to Fenghook Mountain, but after seeing it with my own eyes this time, I found that the environment there is really difficult. In terms of food and clothing, absentees can hardly guarantee the minimum living conditions.”

Although what Xiaobai said was the truth, it was this kind of truth that turned into invisible slaps, from the emperor to the courtiers, and a series of "crackling" slaps were slapped on their faces.

In the stiff atmosphere, Xiaobai seemed to be suddenly aware that he had said something he shouldn't have said. He rushed to the bottom of the stairs in two steps in three steps. He knelt down with his knees straight without hesitation. Kowtowing, the forehead just hit the corner of the first step, and just by hearing the movement, I knew it was not a normal pain.

When Xiaobai knelt down, the brothers couldn't stay out of it, and they also knelt down in unison, performing a scene of sincerity and fear.

Xi Ran lowered her eyelids and glanced, knowing that the other party was deliberately using bitter tricks.

However, there seems to be no necessary causal relationship between tricks and whether they can be seen through and whether they will be tricked in the end.Xi Ran clearly knew that the other party would never say the wrong thing because of a moment of anxiety, he was just pretending.However, the loud bang of "boom" still made his heart beat uncontrollably.

Xiaobai's bitter plan is not aimed at others, but the only one who will feel sorry for him.

Xiaobai touched his forehead to the ground, and his voice was unavoidably muffled when he spoke, "I don't mean anything else, and I don't want to blame anyone. The difficult conditions of Fenggou Mountain have nothing to do with any managers. It's all because of the poor natural conditions. , the weather is harsh, and the land is so barren that almost no grass grows, so the absentees who stay here all the year round will live in hardship, so they can't better serve the monsters."

"There is no other meaning", this sentence is actually another form of expression of "there is no silver 300 taels here".But this damned Bai Zi came to make amends later, sounded very logical, all the ministers suppressed their unhappiness, and stared at the figure kneeling under the steps with pale faces.

Xiran felt a headache, but he didn't know what caused his discomfort at the moment, the invisible force on his shoulders?Or is it someone's ignorance?

At this point, Xiran certainly understands that Xiaobai is definitely not the kind of easy-to-manipulate object, expecting him to obey his words, it is better to expect the sharp sword hanging above the heads of the monsters to disappear suddenly.

However, Xi Ran had no other choice.

The urgency of time is of course one aspect. In addition, it is really not easy to find a second person with a rebellious spirit among human beings.It's no wonder that most monsters are full of contempt for Baizi. They are a group of tamed sheep. No matter whether their master shaves off their wool or simply kills them for meat, the sheep will just accept it. They never thought that one day Able to crush its former owner to death with its own hoof.Even the so-called Fenggoushan rebellion was nothing more than passive sabotage. If it was more intense, it would temporarily imprison the monsters in charge of management. So far, the rebels have not seen blood.

I don't know if it's hundreds of years of accumulation, and finally created a Xiaobai. Even if he is still far from meeting the requirements, Xi Ran can only make do with it.

In addition to these two reasons, if there is anything to be found, it is selfishness.

"You don't need to explain in trepidation, I just ask what you think about the management of the mining area, and you can just tell the truth." Xi Ran looked down from above, and could only see the top of Xiaobai's head and the unyielding hard straight line on his chin .The respectful prostration and kneeling are just his way of judging the situation. This unyielding temperament is the true portrayal.

Xiaobai finally raised his head, the heavy kowtow just now was not just thunder and rain, he was really ruthless to himself, he actually made an inch-long gash, with thin blood lines winding On his face, Leng seemed to tear apart his good looks.

It's not so bad anymore, Xi Ran doesn't know what to say to him.Knowing that Xiaobai is deliberately using himself as a bargaining chip to press on, but he still has no choice but to take another step back, "No matter what you say later, I forgive you."

In this way, Xiaobai, who won the gold medal for avoiding death, was finally able to ascertain the emperor's intention - he had decided to fulfill his long-cherished desire.Xiaobai suppressed his wild horse-like excitement, and articulated the following words clearly, without a sense of categorization, "Please allow the emperor to let us humans manage the mining area!"

There was an uproar.

Whether it's the deliberately high dome or the majestic red pillar of the beast, they all trembled three times in the excitement of the crowd. It seemed that this magnificent palace might collapse at any time, smashing the monsters and humans below together into patties.

More than one courtier showed his claws, and the whole hall reflected the bright cold light, and the sharp-edged nails rubbed back and forth, making teeth-stinging sounds.

He is provocative!This damn baizi was out-and-out provocative!Let Baizi manage the mining area, not only encroaching on the interests of the monsters, but also stepping on the heads of the monsters, domineering!

Fortunately, Xiran had the foresight to say "Forgive your innocence" in advance. With the emperor's sanction in front, the courtiers can't take the lead in launching troubles. Otherwise, there will be no more generals in the hall. It was some torn flesh and blood.

The emperor waved his hand, and a gust of air rolled out from his wide sleeves, sweeping over every courtier.As if welcoming a warm spring breeze, everyone's hair tips and belts fluttered gently.However, everyone knew that this cold breeze could turn into a killer move to harvest their lives at any time, and all changes were within the emperor's thought.

Xiaobai could clearly feel the killing intent coming from all around him. Even if his will was a little weak, he might end up dying today. Foaming at the mouth and passing out would be nothing. Even under the pressure, it is not impossible for him to become a dementia on the spot.

Suddenly, the stress is gone.A thin wind lifted the ends of his hair that hung on his shoulders, and there was an indescribable soothing power.

This time, without any prompting or urging from anyone, Xiaobai has been able to speak smoothly, no longer the loud and loud voice that caused the audience's unhappiness just now, he still keeps speaking clearly, but it is also appropriate to bring a little pleading flavor, "Including Fenghook Mountain, the conditions in almost all the mining areas are very bad. The monsters and adults are all rich, and it is really not suitable to stay in such a place. On the contrary, we humans are numerous and cheap as ants. Leave the mining area to our own management. And we will never keep the mined ores privately, and will definitely give them all.”

Hearing this, Xiran understood why this guy would rather bring the topic to the natural environment of Fenggou Mountain at the risk of saying the wrong thing just now. He was setting the stage for this moment, leaving everyone present with a deep impression. The next "bad, bleak, not worth going" impression.

Xi Ran asked, "According to what you mean, do you hope that all mining areas will be managed by humans?"

Really big ambition!

Xiaobai understood the principle of step-by-step, and quickly denied it, "No, Your Majesty. This is just my immature opinion. Whether it will work or not will only be determined after I have tried it. I have been to Fenghook Mountain. The environment here is special. As long as you guard the mountain pass, you can control everything inside. There is really no need for the monsters to go to the mountain to patrol at any time. Why don't you try it from Fenghook Mountain. If we humans can't even manage a small mining area, we really won't survive In addition, if you want to kill or cut, let the emperor deal with it."

In fact, the management method of Fenghook Mountain is not too different from what Xiaobai said. There are guard posts for monsters at the mountain pass, and under normal circumstances, monsters who call themselves noble are not willing to go to the ravine to blow cold wind.If they entered the mountain, it was all on a whim, and every time they would bring countless nightmares to the residents of the mining area.

Xiaobai knows that he can't fight for too many things right now, but at least he can get a little bit of peace, even if the peace can only be in a corner, but as long as the monsters completely forget this corner, for humans, eating chaff and swallowing vegetables is also a big deal. happy.

As for the future development, we have to wait for the opportunity.

Maybe it's because Bai Zi's request is not too much. Even though the concept of "mining autonomy" sounds sensational, but after careful consideration of the details, it seems that there is no place to go beyond.As for the mined ores, I believe these Baizi will hand in all of them honestly, because this group is not only humble, but also stupid. Even if a lot of ores are handed over to them, they still don't know how to use them.

In any case, this "General White" has solid military achievements on his back. According to the usual practice, the emperor must reward him with something. If he doesn't do it, he will be promoted again, or he will be given some more troops.None of the monsters and dignitaries are willing to see this happen, especially in some families there are still young members who have not inherited the family and have not been canonized by the emperor. At that time, these young monsters will not want to treat a white man Bend your knees and call him "My lord" respectfully?

In comparison, the self-government of the mining area is just a name, and all the benefits are still owned by the monsters.It couldn't have been better.

Among the monsters, the real dignitaries headed by the four major families have always dealt with earth-shattering events, including the Lou family. Although they would also intervene in the affairs of the mining area, they never really cared about it.In one matter, the four major families are not even familiar with Sang Mu'an and others.

Something doesn't seem right?Sang Muan was beating the drum in his heart.But if you think about it carefully, you can't figure out where the flaw is in a short time.Normally, Sang Mu'an might say a few words for the sake of Jiangshan Sheji, but today he is used to being a mute, and he really doesn't plan to say so much until he has a thorough analysis.

Afterwards, Sang Mu'an comforted himself - anyway, he only chose Fenggou Mountain as a pilot site, and the autonomous model of the mining area could not become the cornerstone of overthrowing the monster in a short period of time.He might as well take this time to think carefully, if he can really find out that General Bai's malicious intentions, the Emperor Shangzuo might become a hero to save the crisis.At that time, it is impossible for General Bai to have any military exploits to rely on. Isn't killing him the same as crushing a bug?

Xi Ran scanned the audience.He was very clear from the beginning that this "reward" would only arouse everyone's reaction in the first place, and as long as Xiao Bai could resist the initial pressure, there would be no voices of opposition in the future.

Although he had to admit that he was the promoter behind the whole incident, Xi Ran was still tormented by indecision all the time.However, he is the emperor. Once he chooses a path, even if the road ahead is full of thorns, he must go to the end step by step.

"Xiaobai, since this is your idea, let Fenghook Mountain be managed by you. I have no other requirements, but the quarry in Fenghook Mountain has many uses. During your management period, I don't want the stone Mine production cuts."

"Yes." At this time, too much promise is empty talk, Xiaobai just answered one word emphatically.

Of course, the expressions on the faces of the ministers were still far from happy, between confusion and dissatisfaction, but after all there were no voices of opposition.This matter is so settled.

Xiaobai pleaded again logically, "Your Majesty, there are not many crops that can be grown in Fenghook Mountain. If possible, I would like to go to the market to choose some drought-resistant seeds and take them back for trial planting. If I can guarantee self-sufficiency in rations, I will It can save the dynasty the trouble of allocating food."

It sounds like this is already a trivial request, and the emperor has already promised that the general Bai will manage everything in Fenggou Mountain. These trivial matters do not need to be reported to the emperor in person.Unexpectedly, Bai Zi, who was an official for the first time, could think of everything in detail.The food of the dynasty will not need to be wasted on those baizi in the future. For this future, most of the courtiers are still happy to see it.

However, Xiran found a little bit of deliberation behind the other party's thoughtful consideration.Compared with agreeing to "mine autonomy", it was just to purchase some seeds, but the emperor took a longer time to think about it.Even at the end, he didn't give a definite answer.

Xiran walked down the steps step by step, her long clothes dragging out the bright brilliance of Liuxia.But this touch of Liuxia paused next to Xiaobai, Xiran's voice was neither high nor low, piercing into Xiaobai's ears accurately, "You, come with me alone."
