Chapter 747 Love Peace, Not War

"But fortunately, what we all pursue is peace, and everything can be discussed."

In the room, as these words were spoken, Ning Yi's eyes became serious, and the icy coldness in his eyes was even a little intimidating.Lin Houxuan was stared at by him and was silent for a moment.

"The right or wrong of this battle is still debatable, but... what Mr. Ning wants to talk about, you might as well speak bluntly. Houxuan is just a messenger, but he will definitely bring Mr. Ning's words to him."

His words were soft and hard, and they were neither humble nor arrogant. On the opposite side, Ning Yi smiled again, or expressed approval, and it seemed like a slight sarcasm.

"Yes, what Brother Lin said, I also understand. Since it is a message, but what Ning said next, please remember Brother Lin clearly. When you see your majesty in the future, don't forget it, or it is wrong. It's a big deal, Ning will make it clear first, and please forgive Brother Lin."

"Mr. Ning is right, Hou Xuan must be cautious."

"Okay." Ning Yi stood up with a smile and slowly paced the room. After a while, he said, "When Brother Lin entered the city, have you seen the scene outside?"

"I don't know what Mr. Ning is referring to?"

"We are also very troublesome, it's not easy at all." Ning Yi said, "The northwest is already barren, it's not a rich land, you all come over, kill people, and damage the land. This time, you can't waste the wheat harvest. The total amount is not enough to feed so many people. Now that July is almost over, when winter comes, there will be another famine, and people will die. I take part of this wheat, and the rest will be given to them as per capita rations. They can't make it through this year. Some people still have surplus grain in their homes, and some people can get some food from the wild countryside, or they can get through it. Yes, now that we have recovered Yanzhou, we should divide the grain according to the previous cultivated land, and now there is trouble outside. If we divide it according to them, more people will starve to death. Brother Li has seen these difficulties, right?"

"Mr. Ning is benevolent and righteous." Lin Houxuan bowed his hands, somewhat doubtful in his heart, but also a little gloating, "But please forgive Houxuan. Since the Huaxia Army has taken back Yanzhou and divided the grain according to the land deed, it is the right way. There are few people who speak. There is also less trouble. My Xixia army came and killed a lot of people, and many land deeds became unowned, which appeased the big family. In these places, the Huaxia army can justifiably be put into the pocket. Mr. Ning divides the food according to the head. It's really a bit inappropriate, but Hou Xuan admires the heart of benevolence and righteousness."

He came as a messenger, and naturally he didn't dare to offend Ning Yi too much, so what he said at this time was reasonable.Ning Yi leaned against the desk and smiled noncommittally.

"Brother Lin may be very strange. Ordinary people want to negotiate, and they always hide their weaknesses. Why would I speak out. But in fact, Ning thinks differently, this world belongs to everyone, and I hope everyone can It's good, my difficulties may not become your problems in the future." He paused, then remembered, "Oh, yes, Zhejia has been testing the situation in Yanzhou recently. To be honest, The Zhe family is cunning, and it is definitely a bad idea to play, these things also give me a headache."

"It's not easy to break up the family." Lin Houxuan nodded in agreement.

"So frankly speaking, I can only make an idea from you guys." Ning Yi made a two-pointed gesture with his fingers, his tone became cold again, and he said directly, "After the Dong Zhiyuan battle, after Li Ganshun returned to China, the situation was not good, I know. …”

"Ning..." The moment before, he seemed gentle and amiable. At this moment, when I heard Ning Yi calling his emperor's name impolitely, Lin Houxuan wanted to speak, but Ning Yi's eyes were almost emotionless, looking at him. As if looking at a dead person, with a wave of his hand, the words have continued.

"In Xixia, the emperor's family, the empress's family, the battle between Li and Liang has not lasted for a day or two, and the power of Wuzang and several big tribes should not be underestimated. When the iron kite and the proton army are around, it's okay to say, In the two battles of Dong Zhiyuan, the iron kite disappeared, and the proton army was dispersed. It is hard to say how many died. We later captured more than 200. Li Qianshun went back this time. The bottom line is that within a month, your Xixia has not changed, and then you will rely on the gradual plan to consolidate the authority of the Li family. I think it is hard to say whether this process can be done in three to five years."

Ning Yi tapped the table with his fingers: "Now on my side, there are 210 seven members of the original Sub-Army, and five hundred and three iron kites. They are in Xixia, and they all have family backgrounds. These 720 Xixia brothers are you I want it. As for the other 400 unlucky people with no background, I don’t want to use it to negotiate business with you. I’ll just throw them into the mountains to dig coal, and I’ll save you from trouble... Brother Lin, this time Come here, mainly for these 720 people, right?"

Lin Houxuan looked solemn and did not speak.

"720 people is a big deal. Brother Lin, you came here for Li Qianshun, but to tell you the truth, I have been hesitating. Whether I should sell these people to the Li family or the Liang family is still in need. others."

"Mr. Ning." Lin Houxuan said, "Is this threatening me?" His eyes were cold, and he was quite righteous and awe-inspiring, and he would never be threatened.

"Of course it is. I don't threaten you. What kind of business am I talking about? Do you think I'm doing good deeds?" Ning Yi glanced at him, his tone was flat, and then returned to the topic, "As I said before, I take Down in Yanzhou, you didn’t kill all the people. Now there are more than 3 to nearly [-] people on the nearby land. To put it more vividly: these are [-] mouths that eat people. If you can’t feed them, they Come and eat me!"

Ning Yi smiled coldly: "Why do you think I give food to the poor and not to the rich? How can I give food to the icing on the cake - I give food to the rich, they think it is right, to the poor, it saves him One life. Brother Lin, do you think that when you go to the battlefield, the poor can work hard or the rich can work hard? If the food shortage in the northwest cannot be solved by the end of this fall, I will join forces with the family and take them across the Hengshan Mountains. Go to Yinchuan to eat you guys!"

Lin Houxuan frowned, and suddenly stood up: "Mr. Ning, the battle you fought on Dong Zhiyuan was amazing. However, after the war, how many of you still have, if you think that I, Xixia, will be afraid of you, Then try to kill Hengshan!"

"Whether you are afraid or not, whether you can beat them or not is one thing. Whether you can take them across Hengshan Mountain is another matter. I don't want to mention the Huaxia Army. I am in Luliang, and I have a village with more than 2 people. I can pull out 5 more people." Ning Yi's expression was equally cold, "I am in business and hope for peace, but if there is no way to go, I can only kill one. This way The road is dead and the net is broken, but when winter comes, I will definitely go. How I train soldiers, you can just look at the Huaxia Army. These [-] to [-] people, I promise, are enough. .”

The room fell silent for a moment.

"The situation is so troublesome, this is one way, but of course, I have another way to go." Ning Yi spoke calmly, then paused.

"720 people, I can give it to you, let you use it to calm the domestic situation, and I can also sell it to other people, so that other people can overthrow your platform. Of course, if you are not threatened as you said, you don't want to do this There are more than 700 people, and other people will definitely not embarrass you if they take these more than 700 people. Then I will chop off their heads immediately. Let you, the united Xixia, live a happy life. Next, we will do a big job in winter Just go to the market! As long as enough people die, our food problem can be solved.”

Lin Houxuan was silent for a while: "I'm just a messenger, I have no right to nod, you..."

"—I pass on your mother!!!"

Suddenly, a violent drink resounded in the room with a majestic aura like thunder.Lin Houxuan was also playing Taijiquan. He made a foreshadowing in advance and spoke carefully, but before he said this, he had already seen the scholar on the opposite side with a stern look and a cold murderous aura coming towards him.Ning Yi picked up something while drinking and waved it out. At this moment, Lin Houxuan only felt a chill in his ears. The heavy copper incense burner flew past his left face with a loud bang and smashed into pieces. Cabinets in the rear corner.

In an instant, pieces of paper, dust and sawdust flew, and Lin Houxuan shrank his head in a daze. He never expected that a simple sentence would lead to such consequences.Someone was already rushing in outside the door, but then he heard Ning Yi's words: "Get out!" At this moment, Lin Houxuan felt a greater sense of majesty and oppression than Li Ganshun in the Golden Palace.

"One time and one time, the matter of killing tens of thousands of people, you treat it as a trifling matter here. You are just a messenger, and you have to say it several times in front of me! If Li Qianshun sent you here just to spread the word, What’s the difference between sending you here or sending a dog! I’ll write a letter and let it go back with its mouth! You are a small country in Xixia Quer, how is it compared to Wu Dynasty!? The first time I saw Zhou Zhe, I killed him like a dog Dong Zhiyuan, Li Qianshun, run slowly, his head is being kicked by me now! Master Lin, you are the envoy of the Xixia Kingdom, and you are responsible for the rise and fall of a country, so Li Qianshun sent you here. If you pretend to be a dead dog in front of me, you and me I don’t care about the life and death of the people on both sides, so I’ll have you chopped up right away.”

In these words, Ning Yi's figure slowly sat down behind the desk.Lin Houxuan's face was as pale as paper, and then he took two deep breaths, and slowly cupped his hands: "Yes, Houxuan was careless, but..." He settled down, but did not dare to look into the other's eyes again, "But, this time, my country Sending out a large army is also a waste of money and people, and there is not enough food now. If you want to redeem these 720 people, Mr. Ning will not let us bear the food and drink of everyone in Yanzhou and even the Northwest?"

"Since I'm willing to ask you to come over, there is naturally a place to discuss, specific conditions, and I have already prepared a copy." Ning Yi opened the table and pulled out a thick stack of manuscripts. "If you want to redeem people, according to the rules of your tribe, you must give things. That is the first batch, food, gold and silver. I will have everything you need. I will let you pass the test in front of you, and you must let me first. Cross this hurdle. Then there are your benefits..."

Ning Yi kept talking: "The two sides hand over people and deliver goods, and then I will naturally find a way to solve the food problem of both of us. Why are you fighting among the various tribes of your party? It is nothing more than wanting all kinds of good things. Now there is no food in the Northwest. It’s time to fight. Your emperor’s foundation is not stable. Redeeming more than 700 people will stabilize it? It’s just a drop in the bucket? It doesn’t matter, I have a way to go. In the North Korean market, what do you want? Books? Technology? Silk porcelain? Tea? There are some in the south, which were embargoed at first, but now I will get them for you."

"What do you have in Xixia? Your green salt is of good quality and low price. Back then, the Wu Dynasty didn't do salt business with you, but now I sell it for you. You can negotiate how much you sell each year and at what price. Not enough to eat? There is always enough. Yes, buy from Tubo, Dali, and Jin Guo. To be honest, you don’t understand when doing business, you are bullied every year. What happened to the Liao Kingdom at the beginning? Get all your money back."

"You can't fight now. Let's join forces. Whoever you have a good relationship with in your country will give priority to them when you bring back good things. If they have something to sell, we will help you sell it. As long as you do it, won't you be stable? I can follow up with you. You promise that you have a good relationship with you. Every household has silk and silk, and there are countless treasures. If you want to make trouble, I will let them sleep without a quilt... These general matters, how to do it, I have written in it, you can see, Don't worry I'm just speaking in vain."

"...Then, you can take it back and give it to Li Ganshun."

Ning Yi threw the thing to him, Lin Houxuan's eyes gradually brightened after hearing it, he lowered his head and took the ordered document to read.I heard Ning Yi's voice again: "But first, you have to show your sincerity."

Lin Houxuan raised his head, his eyes were puzzled, Ning Yi came out from behind the desk: "When handing over someone, give me back Qingzhou first."

Lin Houxuan frowned and wanted to speak, but Ning Yi waved his hand and walked out of the room.

"There's nothing to talk about. Gyeongju is a tasteless thing right now. It's a pity that it's tasteless and discarded. What are you doing with it? Go back and talk to Li Ganshun, and then the war is peace. You choose—"

Outside the room, Ning Yi's footsteps disappeared.

"—I'll take it all."

　Mmmm, at the beginning of the month, ask for a guaranteed monthly pass ^_^
