Dress as a villain

The Huayin people found that the Lord of the Nine Jin Dynasty seemed to be different from Anshan. Although she needed coal mines, she did not force people. Instead, she paid two buckets of rice a month to hire people to dig coal and transport it to Jinghua Prefecture.

At the beginning, many Huayin people resisted fiercely, but they couldn't stand it. Some people secretly went to help workers in order to survive. At night, helpers had rice to cook to feed their families.The will to live cannot deceive oneself.

Many people started digging at night to avoid acquaintances.Later, I found out that everyone was doing the same thing, so everyone just let go.Anyway, the Huayin people still have a third of the power in the coal mine.

There is still money to pay for the coal dug, which is better than the treatment of the Huns.Even if his own people collect the mines, they may not be as generous as Jinghua Mansion.

A month's salary is two buckets of rice, and one bucket of rice is eighteen catties, which is equivalent to thirty catties.In addition, low-priced sweet potatoes from Lu State were continuously transported to Huayin State by Huayin merchants.

The people in Huayin tasted the taste of sweet potatoes, and every household bought a hundred catties, and they could survive at least one month.

Huayin merchants are a group that Si Qitong specially asked Ma Hong to gather. She knows very well that if she wants to get through the people's livelihood as soon as possible and make people's livelihood stable, she must rely on the power of merchants.So she personally wrote an IOU to the Huayin merchants to let them enter the Lu country for trade. Sweet potatoes for money, sell them to make money.Merchants from the state of Lu bought wildly, but they failed to control it well, causing the price of sweet potatoes to fall below the bottom line.Even lost money.

Now that Huayin State is buying sweet potatoes from Lu State, the Lord of Lu State took the opportunity to make a fortune.

Huayin merchants tasted the sweetness of cooperating with the new owner, and naturally began to stand quietly.I don't want to cater to Huayin's old nobles any more to restore the country.

Although businessmen made a lot of money in the late Jin Dynasty, they could not do business at all without any government influence, let alone transnational business.Moreover, the lord of a country escorted them in transnational business, a full sense of security, and [-]% of the profits made the business class completely rely on Si Qitong.

Si Qitong specially opened up the middle and lower levels of circulation, and achieved great results in a short period of time. Later, she appointed a large number of low-level officials who took refuge in her. With a little promotion, she won the support of many people.

The interests of the upper, middle and lower classes in Huayin began to diverge enormously.The Huayin gentry kept hands and feet in private, but they were not afraid for the time being.

There are also many spies sent by Si Qitong to Huayin Kingdom.

In just half a month, Huayin Kingdom was not oppressed like the day the Hu Huns entered the pass.On the contrary, it was a little better than usual.

Because of the pressure of trade and transportation, the state of Lu supported it. The Lord of the state of Lu wrote an account book for this and handed it over to Si Qitong.

Seeing the maintenance cost as high as one million taels, Si Qitong couldn't help but sigh: "I need money."

Xie Lanzhi glanced at the young couple next to her from time to time, except that An Yi was a little melancholy and had to accept it, Ah Zi could see it.

"There is never enough money to be made, so don't worry." Xie Lanzhi said, "All the large coal mines discovered now have been excavated, and there are only those that have not been developed in time, which is enough for us to develop for a while."

Si Qitong nodded, she looked at Anyi with a dejected look: "Anyi."

Anyi raised his head and looked at her complicatedly.

Si Qitong said: "[-]% of the Huayin country's coal mining rights will be returned to you, and the Beifu and the main palace will also be returned to you at the same time."

Facing her generous behavior, An Yi couldn't help but said: "Sister, since you have occupied Huayin Kingdom, if you let me go back, wouldn't it be letting the tiger go back to the mountain?"

"Since you have confessed your heart to me, I will let you go." Si Qitong said, "From now on, you are no longer the king, but King An."

"Owns the right to mine coal mines, and the military power belongs to the palace."

Anyi was silent for a while, then she shook her head: "No, since you have occupied Huayin Kingdom, don't give those people any more hope."

As she spoke, she glanced at her beloved wife and held Ah Zi's hand: "I once decided to govern the country well and protect Ah Zi, but then I found that I couldn't control the gentry at all."

"I'll dismiss that idea."

Si Qitong said: "If you are worried about this, I will send someone to protect you."

"Huayin Kingdom needs someone to maintain order."

Anyi still wanted to refuse. She felt that since she chose to attack Huayin Kingdom, she shouldn't do so again.Let alone her, the people under my sister's hands may not agree.

Xie Lanzhi also began to persuade her: "Anyi, Huayin Kingdom needs to maintain order now, and the royal family must come forward to do it."

"If you're worried that you'll be used or that you won't be able to control the people below, you don't have to worry about it."

As long as life is good, no one in Huayin Country will resist on a large scale to the end.Moreover, the blame for Huayin's destruction of the country should not be the fault of An Yi, but the fault of the late old lord.

Even if there is a record left in the history, the new Jin army is not the introduction office of Anyi, but Hu Xiong.Hu Xiong and the old master are the real culprits.

On the contrary, An Yi's war of restoration of the country can still be famous in the history, but it's a pity that the duration is too short.

Anyi didn't want to sit in that position no matter what. The ideal she had established before to become a ruler who worked hard to rule had long since been shattered.

Because the reality is always cruel, she is just lucky but not capable enough.

Ah Zi said: "Sister, it's fine if An Yi doesn't want to."

"Please take back the order."

"Since Anyi is unwilling, you can go to Jiujin. I will reward you with Lin City, so that you can maintain your current life as the lord of the city." Si Qitong did not continue to stay in Anyi.

Anyi breathed a sigh of relief, even though she wanted to leave for Jiujin immediately, she didn't want to stay in Huayin to add to the sadness.But Huayin Kingdom needed her now, and she couldn't leave for a while.

An Yi didn't want to stay in the government, so Si Qitong had to choose a puppet leader from Anyi's brothers and sisters.

This time, Si Qitong will not even open up the coal mining rights.

Xie Lanzhi secretly speculates about the plot direction of Little Phoenix. Huayin destroys the country in name and is controlled by Little Phoenix. The next step is to support the puppet regime and control Huayin Kingdom.

It seems that there is no plan to destroy the Huayin country, so it has to be done step by step.

Hu Xiong's camp, Apoqi died in battle.Anshan retreated, and Aqina was bound to leave the mountain.

Then the next direction is to continue to tug-of-war with Hu Xiong.

Aqina may make the first move in the country next time.

There will definitely be no big battles in the plot after Little Phoenix. The strength of the new army has already gained a reputation. Although it is not as public as Xie's side, Xiaoguo will definitely not dare to provoke her.So if there is another war, it will be a big war.

Anyi stayed in the county office for a while, and suddenly said: "Sister, if there is nothing else, I want to take Ah Zi out to get some air."

Si Qitong nodded.Wait for their young couple to go out hand in hand.

Si Qitong walked up to Xie Lanzhi, hugged her waist with both hands, and buried himself in Xie Lanzhi's arms.

Xie Lanzhi felt her emotions.She said, "Are you blaming yourself?"

"It doesn't have to be." Si Qitong said: "If you were in control of Huayin Kingdom, I would do the same."

Xie Lanzhi clearly felt that she was duplicity, she clearly cared about the opinions of Anyi and his wife, after all, Anyi was the royal family of Huayin, and suddenly one day they said to destroy the country, it was impossible for them not to have any resentment in their hearts.

Just now, Anyi deliberately went out because he wanted to be calm and calm, and he didn't want to face the status quo of Huayin Kingdom.

Xie Lanzhi patted her on the back to comfort her: "You will have many choices in the future."

"If I were the lord of Huayin, I would choose to fight you to the end. How would you decide? Break Huayin and kill me as a prisoner?"

As soon as these words came out, Si Qitong quickly raised her head, even if it was a hypothetical, she didn't want to hear it.

She shook her head quickly: "No, I won't."

"But you will still attack the Huayin Kingdom, won't you?" Xie Lanzhi said: "Instead of spending time trying to please the Huayin gentry, making them fall for you because of their interests, it may not be completely loyal to you."

"It's better to directly smash their foundations and break their beliefs. Re-establish a new order, and I believe that the new order you establish will be more sympathetic to the people."

"Fu Feng, if you want peace, first use martial arts to stop fighting."

Peace in the world is always what people want, but in troubled times, peace has become a luxury and everyone's wishful thinking, and the people at the bottom will only sacrifice their lives for the rulers to fight for fame and wealth.So since they all have the same fate, why not choose a benevolent master who can promise their future? !

"Little Phoenix."

Si Qitong came out of her arms, her originally disappointed expression gradually faded, Xie Lanzhi saw this, a slight smile appeared on the corner of her lips.

Yes, that's it, little Phoenix.Don't have any hesitation and pity.You are an emperor, not just an ordinary emperor, but Emperor Wu who opened up a territory and re-established a country.

You are not the first emperor to unify the world, but you are the most special and kindest emperor.

And kindness only needs to be reserved for your people.

Xie Lanzhi gently placed a kiss on her forehead, and when she moved away, she could not forget: "I still remember the days I spent with you in Chenxiang Mansion, although you were still on guard against me at that time, but you treated me in the carriage When I showed trust, I can still see it now."

Who would have thought that the little phoenix, once like a restless frightened bird, could really spread its wings and fly high.And the height of the flight has already exceeded her imagination.

She thought that if she started handling government affairs in Lanzhang Palace and had begun to show her independence, then in Jinghua Mansion, she would have already become a teacher.

"There is no one in the world who can reassure me more than you." Xie Lanzhi said in a low voice, "I also need a peaceful and prosperous world. I don't want to spend my whole life on the battlefield."

Her loss of internal strength once made her feel panicked.

And her panic faintly affected her little Phoenix.

It would be hard for her to believe that Little Phoenix had no intention of showing her strength in this battle against Huayin.

Xiao Fenghuang's eagerness to show her strength is to tell her that it doesn't matter if she doesn't fight, and she can rely on her.This time she has been able to protect herself by herself.

Si Qitong puffed up her cheeks quietly, and acted coquettishly a few times: "Then, can I already become the adult in your eyes?"

"It's just as simple as an adult?" Seeing that she did so much, Xie Lanzhi just wanted to show her adult side in front of her.

She was a little moved and said: "Little Phoenix is ​​already an excellent ruler of a country."

"Even if I don't admit it, if you ask people outside, they will definitely say hello."

"No. I just want you to say hello to me." Si Qitong immediately said: "I don't care what others say, I just want you to say hello to me, very good, very good."

"No matter how good it is, I just want to hear from you."

Xie Lanzhi patted her on the back again, and said softly, "Okay, okay. Then how many times should I say it?"

She hugged her, kissed her again and said: "My Fu Feng has become an adult who can take care of herself. Not only has she grown into an adult, she is also a benevolent lord in the eyes of thousands of people."

"She learned how to make money, learn how to produce, and how to break into the enemy's country to gain control of power. If the people underneath hide a little bit, her Xiwei will not let them go."

"With her own body and strength, she called on the world's talented people to invest in troubled times to build a homeland, and worked hard. Thousands of people are looking forward to it."

Si Qitong listened quietly to the sweet words in her mouth, the deeper his eyes became, the more nostalgic they became, and finally turned into a deep obsession.Her hands were tightly clasped on the belt of the man's black clothes, as if she wanted to rub her into her heart.Pack it up and never let it out again.Let her good only belong to you.

No one in this world is entitled to enjoy the goodness of Laneige.Everything about her belongs to Si Qitong.

An Yi and Ah Zi were holding hands, walking aimlessly, with a group of new recruits following behind her, and the group of people stopped three meters behind her.

Anyi asked them to leave, but also ordered them to leave.

Until Ah Zi said: "This general, please help me bring a sentence to my sister."

The word "sister" is very heavy, clearly reminding them that even if they are down and out, they still have a deep affection for their master and sister, which is an incomparable affection for subordinates.

Sure enough, the new recruits withdrew one after another.

An Yi then breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Anyway, there is no difference, you will be followed wherever you go."

Ah Zi said: "I know you are unwilling, and you also know your own strength, so it's better to let go early."

"Don't you think you are young and can still exercise your abilities?"

Anyi seemed a little guilty when she was right. She touched her head and said, "I do have this kind of thought. I wonder if I can govern Huayin Kingdom well?"

"Maybe I can ask my sister to teach me. I don't believe in the Huayin gentry."

"But my sister's actions let me see the situation in Huayin Kingdom. Even if the Hu Huns are defeated, there will still be a bunch of wolfish and ambitious people desperately trying to seize power."

Speaking of her desolate face: "Even if I temporarily suppress them, I can't fight against a group of people by myself. They can paralyze me, and then they will obey."

The Huayin gentry was like that when the Hu Huns were in it, but it was because of multiple foreign enemies that allowed them to share the same hatred.Now there are no foreign enemies, so naturally they all want to replace the Huns to exercise power like wolves and tigers.At that time, it will be the same whether she is the king or not.What's more, her sister told her that the Huayin gentry did not agree with Ah Zi.

Thinking of this, Anyi held Ah Zi's hand tightly, and said affectionately: "After thinking so much, I was once blinded by the glory of restoring the country, thinking that I was the proud son of heaven, so heaven helped me."

"But now I'm sober, and I've found my true heart."

"It turns out that what I have always wanted most is you. I want to protect you, and I want you not to be wronged, so that you can become the mother of the country who is under one person and above ten thousand people. No one will dare to bully you then."

"But those are just wishful thinking on my part."

The Huayin gentry and her were not of the same mind, and even had the idea of ​​setting up another queen.

AhZi's eyes turned red: "You don't blame me? I actually guessed that my sister was going to send troops to Huayin, but I still didn't tell you."

"It's better if you don't tell. If you tell, I might fight with my sister just based on my mood just after winning the battle." An Yi felt that he was not the only one who was deeply affected by the fate of the country. No one stopped the war, everyone shouted to fight, and it was put down within ten days.

One or one day to finish, nine days to maintain order.She felt ashamed to spread the word.

Ah Zi and Anyi confided their hearts to each other, they didn't notice the secret agent lurking in the tree at all, even if the army left, the secret agent would not leave them half a step.After all, Anyi is still unfavorable to His Highness, and the spies will deal with it if necessary.

Now that the spies heard that the trash king wanted to stay out of the matter, it was a good thing, and the spies no longer followed them.

The two people in the county office are also tender.

Xie Lanzhi's recent unlucky depression was also dispelled by a certain woman's coquettishness. When she left the yamen, the flock of birds slammed on her body as if they were stepping on her.

Although she was covered in bird droppings, her mentality was different.

Seeing that she was being tricked at the door again, Si Qi Tong was wondering if she should sit under a canopy so that his wife and husband would not be soiled.But I thought that if there was no bird droppings, it might be the turn of the awning. If the awning collapsed, the wife would be crushed.Seems more serious.

She had to give up.

After Xie Lanzhi went out, she took the initiative to find Anyi, intending to chat with her.So they asked people to send Ah Zi to the Hui county government office.

Anyi looked at Xie Lanzhi awkwardly, she also remembered that her sister had not finished the mission she had given her.So even more awkward.

Xie Lanzhi couldn't see her being coy about the old Gong, she immediately shouted: "Is there anything you can't say directly? Don't you think I'm a brother-in-law?"

Anyi was very surprised, she froze for a moment and then nodded: "Then, I can be your brother-in-law...."

"Huh?" Xie Lanzhi had already heard about the mission given by Little Phoenix, and she wanted An Yi to be her friend.As a result, Anyi has been lingering outside, with low self-esteem, not daring to come forward.

She felt the need to give her a hand.

Xie Lanzhi was about to take the initiative to say, let's make friends!Don't be jabbering.

Immediately she heard that An Yi plucked up her courage and said to her: "Sister...Wife, I, can I be your follower!?"

Xie Lanzhi: "..."

That's all you can do, kid?

She said: "Yes."

Anyi's eyes lit up in an instant. This was a step she mustered up her courage to take forward. She never expected that the marshal would actually agree.

"Then can the marshal teach me martial arts?"

Xie Lanzhi felt that it was necessary to dissuade her, so she walked to a stone mill about a hundred kilograms, lifted it up, and threw it to the ground, asking her to lift it up and put it back.

Anyi immediately rolled up his sleeves and walked to the stone mill, bent down, and hugged the stone with all his strength, he could only lift an inch, when the big tree behind him broke down, and then the three-meter-high big pine tree collapsed in the middle, with thick leaves Submerge them both.

"No, it's not good!"

A newly recruited army shouted in horror: "Marshal and Lord An were hit by a tree!"

Oh my God, this An Guozhu really took the courage of the bear, and dared to join the Marshal!Doesn't she know that the marshal is in bad luck recently, and those who are close to the marshal are either killed or injured.

After that, more than a dozen people from the new Jin army came, hurriedly lifted trees, felled trees, and pulled people.Fishing out the Lord of Anyi who had a big bag on the back of his head, Anyi passed out and was sent to the county government.

Although Xie Lanzhi has no internal strength, she still has brute force and a healthy body.

She dug herself out, just turned around, stepped on the beehive on the tree, stepped on the juice, and then hundreds of aggressive bees buzzed out.

Hundreds of bees directly took Xie Lanzhi and a dozen new recruits.

The screams of people frightened the birds and insects in the forest.

"Ah ah ah ah ah!"

"Marshal, Marshal, stay away from us!"

"do not come!"

"Please don't come close!!"
