Shuangfeike from all over the world

"Brother, are you awake?" Xie Ce lay on the bed and looked at Wei Nan who was in a drowsy sleep. He knew that he might not be able to hear him because of his energy-dispelling poison, but he still wanted to tell him about his pressure.

"The Dongyi people have never been able to fight back, and the hundreds of thousands of troops have huge expenses for food, grass, and military supplies; Li Manzi also needs a lot of money to deploy the national garrison; and the implementation of the New Deal, agricultural production...everywhere opened their mouths and asked me for money... ...Your father really left me nothing but a pile of mess, it's all ruined!"

In the court hall today, the courtiers were arguing and arguing, but in the end it was about one issue: money.

Xie Ce's new policy has been implemented for a long time. The ministers also discussed the establishment of an official chamber of commerce, that is, the government will set up an official chamber of commerce. The government will only charge membership fees and provide free policy support and convenience to members of the chamber of commerce; Participating in providing this kind of convenience can be converted into an official chamber of commerce after negotiation with the government.

The government regularly organizes trade activities between different chambers of commerce, and the government maintains order.This not only reduces the cost and risk of traders acting alone, but also promotes trade between various places.

After the implementation of this policy, the fiscal revenue of the states and counties has gradually increased, the tax pressure on farmers has been reduced, and Daqi is slowly returning to life.However, the Lingshan battlefield consumed a lot of money, the treasury still had no money, and the ministries of the imperial court still fought each other for money.

"I've never been so worried about money in my life. Brother, look, am I so worried that my hair is turning gray?" Xie Ce stared at Wei Nan's slightly closed eyes and said to himself.

He buried his head between Wei Nan's neck and gently rubbed his face against Wei Nan's skin to comfort himself.

"Hmm... what did you say?"

Wei Nan was woken up by Xie Ce. He was not really awake yet, and he didn't hear what Xie Ce said in a drowsy state. He just felt that he was in a low mood, so he tried to open his eyes while putting his hand on Xie Ce. Gently comfort him on the back.

"I said, your father left me a court that was so poor that I couldn't get rid of it...Brother, I am not satisfied with this gift!" Xie Ce lightly gnawed on Wei Nan's collarbone.

"Not satisfied, do you still want to unsubscribe?" Wei Nan worked hard for a long time, and finally opened his eyelids. Seeing Xie Ce's frustrated face, he guessed that he was worried about the emptiness of the treasury.

"Who said I want to retire? I want people, I don't want this broken country!" Xie Ce closed his eyes, greedy for Wei Nan's breath, and said in a low voice: "I really want to dig him out, and then return this broken throne!" Give it to him, and I will take you away..."

"What nonsense are you talking about again! What are you thinking about every day?" Wei Nan frowned and blamed, "Your New Deal and the official chamber of commerce have been pushed down for a while, isn't the effect very good? How can you eat it with one bite?" A fat doll?"

"But Cao Jingqiu is urging me to raise money and food for her again... I really have no choice! If she keeps urging me, I will have to sell myself to see how much food I can get together?" Xie Ce looked at Wei Nan resentfully, "Do you want to buy it? Mr. Wei?"

"Don't buy it! Why do you buy it? Buy it to work, you can't do any work, and you have to spare a bowl of dry rice for every meal; kill it and eat the meat, there is no meat, it's all bones!" Wei Wei Nan seemed to regard this man as an animal, touched Xie Ce's buttocks, and said with a smirk.

"You still want to eat people! Can't you keep the bed warmer? I can also cure diseases and save people, and open a medical clinic can support you!" Xie Ce bit Wei Nan's Adam's apple and said angrily.

"Tsk, are you a dog? You bite people at every turn!" Wei Nan patted his butt, "You don't have to sell yourself. When I was sober, I already had an idea. I wanted to figure it out. I will tell you the details later, if you are so worried now, I will tell you first."

Next, Wei Nan explained his method to Xie Ce in detail:

The conflict between Dongyi people and Daqi has existed for hundreds of years, and the two sides have never stopped fighting.The fundamental reason is that the barren land north of Lingshan is barren, and the Dongyi people do not do production and live on nomads.

The paper, textiles, and rice grains of the Central Plains people are all rare items in the eyes of the Dongyi people.But because the hatred between the two countries is too deep to be counted, the official trade has not been opened, and the materials that the Dongyi people want are all smuggled/smuggled from the east by crossing the blockade.

Although the Dongyi people have been harassing the Lingshan border for so many years, they have never invaded on such a large scale like this time.It must be because Daqi has never been as chaotic and weak as he is now in hundreds of years.

The Dongyi people felt that if Fan Xiaojiu hadn't taken advantage of Fan Xiaojiu's assassination of the head of the Northeast Camp to forcibly break through the blockade, they would have no chance of taking control of the Central Plains after Daqi became stronger.

But the long and protracted war consumes a lot of energy, Daqi can't hold on, and Dongyi people can't live well.Dongyi was originally a poor country, and their iron cavalry was strong only because the wasteland was rich in war horses.

"If we don't completely beat the Dongyi people to the ground this time, I'm afraid they will continue to harass them in the future. So I thought of an immature solution: pretending to have peace talks with the Dongyi people, exchanging our supplies for their horses, They must be very interested. We can take advantage of the opportunity of the peace talks to take their khan and the leaders of the eight tribes together. Without the commander, the remaining remnants and stragglers will be easy to deal with." Wei Nan said.

After listening to Xie Ce, he thought for a while and said, "This method is feasible, but we need to carefully plan the details."

Wei Nan yawned, and said: "During this time, I sent several groups of spies pretending to be smugglers to sneak into the northeast wasteland from the east sea route, while inquiring about Dongyi's domestic situation, while spreading the effects of Daqi's New Deal, to Dongyi. People create the illusion that Daqi is capable of fighting a protracted war."

"The Dongyi people are more short of food and grass than us, otherwise they would not have invaded so frantically. If the war lasts for a long time and cannot sustain the consumption of food and grass, there will be complaints in the Eight Parts, and some people will retreat. At this time we Some people will instigate it again, and they will definitely propose peace talks with Daqi and exchange horses with us for supplies. As long as some of them make this suggestion, many people will definitely be ready to move."

"Well, as long as they want peace talks, the initiative is in our hands. Then we can take the lead, agree to the peace talks, and then slowly destroy them." Xie Ce nodded.

He pondered for a moment, and then said: "But after they agreed to peace talks, how can we wipe out their Khan and the leaders of the eight tribes together?"

Wei Nan could hardly keep his eyelids closed anymore, he frowned and said, "This is what I hadn't thought about...you give me the needle at dawn...let's discuss it..." As soon as the words fell, the others Just passed out.

It has been more than four months since he was injured, and his body is almost recovered, but Xie Ce still dare not give him acupuncture every day, for fear of hurting Wei Nan's root.

He stretched his arm under Wei Nan's neck, hugged Wei Nan into his arms, held his hand and took his pulse carefully, and whispered in a low voice: "Sleep...have a good rest..."

He was by Wei Nan's side every day, this man was still awake and lethargic every day, when did he send people to the Northeast wasteland, and when did he plan all this, Xie Ce didn't know at all.

Presumably during this period of time, Wei Nan cherished that poor waking time very much. When he was sober, he not only had to deal with various things reported by the hidden guards, but also took time to think about the frontline war.

Xie Ce gave Wei Nan the pulse, and fell into a dilemma: Wei Nan has fully recovered, and under Xie Ce's meticulous and considerate care, his physical condition is better than before; The pain in the heart and the huge consumption of the body, Xie Ce always feels distressed.

"Brother, what should I do to you? What should I do?" Xie Ce was caught in a tangle, whispering while hugging the person in his arms.

On the second day, he gave Wei Nan a poison-sealing needle and went to court.He was also absent-minded in the court today, listening to the courtiers talking, but thinking about whether to give Wei Nan a daily sealing needle.

"His Royal Highness was absent-minded when answering the wrong question. Could it be that he didn't sleep well last night?" Li Jingze couldn't stand Xie Ce's bewildered stare, and asked him questions regardless of his face.

"Listen to me! Taifu Li is talking about Li Sima's embezzlement/corruption of military pay. This is an extraordinary period, and anything that dares to hinder the frontline war is unbearable! Don't say that he is greedy for a thousand taels of silver, even if it is one tael. He should also be severely punished! Kill one to warn others! With him as an example, who dares to take the idea of ​​money and food at the front line!"

Xie Ce looked at the courtiers and said, "Since the Gu Jian Kingdom, I have been very tolerant to everyone. As long as the courtiers are willing to continue to serve Da Qi, even if they have done something wrong to Da Qi or Gu, Gu will not blame the past. Could it be In this way, you think that Gu is weak and can be deceived? Then you are wrong! Gu advises those who are ready to move, put away your dark thoughts."

After Xie Ce finished speaking, he left without looking back.Leaving Li Jingze and a group of ministers of civil and military affairs staring at each other.

"Ah! It's a bandit who can't change his temperament! He doesn't know the art of the emperor at all, and he's still as straight as a bamboo pole! In the future, I will have a lot to worry about!" Li Jingze shook his head, and while he was worried about Xie Ce, he ordered the Secretary of the Ministry of Punishment, Li Sima was dealt with severely according to corruption and dereliction of duty; he also ordered Chen Ganze, the minister of the Ministry of war, to temporarily take over the post of Minister of the Ministry of war until a new minister of the Ministry of war was elected.

Xie Ce was hesitating whether to give Wei Nan daily needles or not, while walking towards Wenwu Hall.Before he finished hesitating, a storm came.

When he walked into the side hall, he didn't see the man comfortably leaning on the couch reading a book and drinking tea as usual.Before he opened his mouth to ask, Wang Fatty trotted in and said cautiously: "His Royal Highness, not long after you left, His Royal Highness Ming Ming got angry for some reason, saying that he was going back to the Ming Palace. I asked him when he would come back. I wanted to send a carriage to pick him up, but he didn't answer and left without looking back."

"Boss, why did you offend him?" Wang Fatty forgot the address he had just changed when he got nervous.

Xie Ce's heart tightened, and he quickly asked, "Who has he seen since I left?"

"No! He stayed alone all the time, no one came in." Fatty Wang scratched his head, "Sanya and I were the only ones who went in. Sanya went in to clean up the room, and I added two pots of tea for him..."

Xie Ce didn't wait for him to finish his chatter before turning around and leaving.He couldn't wait for Wang Pang to get him a carriage, so he directly rode a horse and headed for Ming Palace.

He had just come down to the court, and he was wearing a princely costume that was very eye-catching. When the people on both sides of the road saw him coming on horseback, they all gave way to both sides of the road. Before they had time to kneel down and salute him, Xie Ce had already ridden away.

He didn't wait for anyone to notify him, and just broke in.The old housekeeper followed behind him and shouted out of breath: "His Royal Highness, it is inconvenient for His Royal Highness to see His Royal Highness at this time, you..."

"What's inconvenient to see? Uncle Zhang, stop chasing me, you can't stop me!" Xie Ce rushed into the courtyard without turning his head.

"Well, if you're not allowed to go, you have to go...wait to be scolded!" The old housekeeper shook his head, looked at Xie Ce's back, stopped following, and waited at the gate of the small courtyard.

The plum trees in the garden have long since disappeared, leaving only the greenery in the garden.Under the gazebo, Wei Nan was sitting on a stone bench with a cold face.Xie Ce rushed in, Wei Nan acted as if he hadn't seen him at all, poured a glass of wine on his own, and drank it with his head raised.

On the stone table in front of him were two wine glasses and a pair of nameless daggers.

"Brother, what's wrong with you?" Xie Ce paused, startled by Wei Nan's abnormal behavior.

thank you all!
