Chapter 547 Xinzhou New City
The arrival of Zong Xin also made Murong Yanchao hesitate. Zong Xin had created too many myths, which were beyond the scope of an ordinary person.What if Zong Xin still has a way to rescue Guo Wei this time?
Murong Yanchao thought again, what else can I do?Anyway, he and his eldest brother Liu Chong agreed. Regardless of whether Guo Wei could resolve this crisis, military strategists were most afraid of being attacked from both sides. As long as they controlled Xuzhou and Weizhou, they could launch an attack on Guo Wei at will, and sooner or later they would kill him.

No rush, no rush for anything.Murong Yanchao knew Zong Xin's criticism that he died of cold and starvation, Zong Xin has not missed anything so far, as long as he guarantees that he is in this warm place in the south, he will never die in this way.

"It's okay. This monk can't do anything. Now the world has been determined. No matter how powerful he is, there is nothing he can do. Everyone should play their part. After defeating Guo Wei, everyone can be promoted to a higher position." Murong Yan Chao's words gave these soldiers countless confidence. Since ancient times, interests are the most powerful thing that drives people's hearts. They are willing to follow Murong Yanchao to defeat Guo Wei. As long as Murong Yanchao wins this victory, everyone alive will be able to enjoy this glory. You can also get a piece of it.

Zong Xin turned around and walked back. Not long after walking, the group of people following him appeared. Everyone understood what Zong Xin wanted to do.

"Sir, why are you going to provoke Murong Yanchao?"

Zong Dao: "I thought this grandson would fight with me. If that's the case, I'll kill him directly, which will save trouble. But this grandson is so bad-tempered that he dare not come down from the tower. If I rush If you go there, you may not be able to beat him."

Yaoyao said: "If you fight directly, can you beat it?"

"Of course not. My skill is not as high as Murong Yan's. Isn't it because of you? If he is overwhelmed by anger and sees me coming alone, rush to fight with me. All of you want to kill him." It's not difficult. Murong Yanchao is indeed suspicious by nature, and he doesn't have much confidence in his own strength, so he didn't dare to come down."

Dugu Xingyue said depressedly: "Since we have prepared for this long ago, why are we not allowed to follow? If we are really obedient and refuse to follow, and he comes down to fight you again, what will you do then?"

"I've come to get to know you. The more I tell you not to follow, the more you will come secretly. If I don't even discover your existence, Murong Yanchao will definitely not." Zong said: "You have to use Dodge my mentality and follow, so that you can attack Murong Yanchao sneakily, otherwise he will be able to see the clue."

Everyone understood that Zong Xin really took advantage of his curiosity.But Yaoyao and Dugu Xingyue didn't quite understand it. With Zong Xin's character, he would never do such a boring thing.Deliberately lured Murong Yanchao to go down to the city to fight with him, knowing that the other party might not come down, what's the use of him coming?

Zong Xin is by no means a speculator. This person must have other ideas when he came here.

Yaoyao said: "Ms. sir, you are definitely not here to lure Murong Yanchao into a duel with you, right? But you only chatted for a few words and did not set a trap on him. Then the matter is very simple. You are here to make sure Something. From what I know about you, if Murong Yanchao goes down to the city to duel with you, he will die. If he doesn’t go down to the city to duel with you...he will die in another way."

Those who knew Zong Xin all nodded. What Yaoyao said made sense. After knowing Zong Xin for so long, almost all his opponents were like this. They either died according to Zong Xin's script, or they died according to Zong Xin's hidden script.So although Zong Xin only came to show his face, he must have other ideas.

Zong Xin nodded and said: "It's still the eldest wife who knows me well. I just came to confirm Murong Yanchao's fear of me, and also...to confirm whether his personality has changed. It has been confirmed just now, even if he has absolute confidence. , and dare not fight me alone. In fact, Murong Yanchao is very clear that his skill is higher than mine. If we fight, I will not be his opponent. Everyone will see me coming alone. There is no ambush around , He still doesn’t dare to confront me head-on, he is suspicious and cautious by nature, I have to make sure his character is still like this, otherwise this battle may not be victorious.”

Fan Zhi asked: "Brother, how do you say this?"

"I have instilled in Murong Yanchao several years ago that he would die of freezing and starving, and today I reminded him of this matter again. Murong Yanchao has lingering fears about the freezing weather." Zong Xin said with a smile: "At that time, I will make some reminders. The weather suddenly turned cold, much colder than before. Murong Yanchao will definitely be too scared to hide in the room and dare not go out. Brother-in-law is not trying to defeat Murong Yanchao this time, but just delaying time , Delay until the Khitan retreats, when the Northern Han Dynasty is lonely, the father-in-law will rush to Xuzhou for reinforcements, and that is the time to send troops."

Fan Zhi nodded and said, "You...were preparing for it several years ago? Did you already know that Murong Yanchao would die of cold and hunger?"

Tian Ya said dejectedly: "Don't be too surprised...I'm more surprised than you. If my master wasn't so powerful, how could the emperor have the heart to let me, the only son, live and sleep with a monk all day long? Isn't it just to learn skills from the master? ?"

"That's true, Your Majesty has worked hard." Even though Fan Zhi is Zong Xin's brother-in-law, he is only a courtier, and he really dare not stand up straight and speak in front of Tian Ya.

Soon the group returned to Fan's mansion and went to sleep in their respective rooms.At this time, Zong Xin had already laid the trap and had almost nothing else to do. After spending a few days playing with his little nephew in the Fan Mansion, Fan Zhi also got his first glimpse of the Nine Yang Changing Meridian method.

So far, it's almost the same, Fan Zhi's next step is to practice by himself, and other people can't help much, because although the Jiuyin Yimai method is powerful, it is not difficult to learn as long as someone teaches it, and it is just a kind of inner strength method , and has no power.

Lei Fang also formally accepts Xiang Xiang as his disciple. Shi Li works as a nanny in Fan's mansion, and she only needs her to take care of the young master. Because she is the mother of Lei Fang's apprentice, Li Shi is treated very well, and she can see her every day Daughter, the two mothers and daughters are very grateful to Zong Xin and Tian Ya, their lives are now much better than before.

After Zong Xin and his party left Xuzhou, they dared not go to Datang again this time, and drove directly to Yandao.The road was full of wreckage from the war. Although Li Jing won the battle, he paid a lot.Fortunately, the state of Chu was destroyed, and now Li Jing has obtained a large area of ​​the state of Chu.

At this time, the Southern Han Dynasty, Jingnan, and Wuyue could only submit to the feet of lunatics like Li Jing of the Tang Dynasty, and they dared not make mistakes at all.As long as Li Jing doesn't attack them, it's lucky.

Li Jing also planned to rest and recuperate for the time being. After all, the treasury had been emptied by years of fighting. If it weren't for Zongxin's [-]% income from Yandao, he would not have dared to fight Chu.If it weren't for the tragic death of Yue Wang Ma Xi and Chu Wang Ma Cun on Mount Tai, and the internal strife in Chu, I am afraid that it would not be so easy to take down the country of Chu.These two points are all thanks to Zongxin. Li Jing really regrets that Guo Wei accepted Zongxin as his son-in-law first, or else he would have thought this way himself.

Zong Xin and his group stopped and went and did not rush on their way. They crossed Chu and crossed the boundary, and finally entered the Southern Han Dynasty.In fact, Yandao belongs to the territory of the Southern Han Dynasty, but Zongxin bought the entire island. This island belongs to Zongxin. Although it is in the territory of the Southern Han Dynasty, it has been separated.

Back then it was just a small island that no one wanted, and Zong Xin was willing to pay a big price to buy this island, which made Nanping Wang Liu Sheng laugh from ear to ear.

Nanping King Liu Sheng did not participate in the division of Salt Island, but the salt was exported from the Southern Han Dynasty, and taxation was naturally indispensable. Although Nanping King did not get a division, he made a huge fortune from taxation alone, so he did not have any influence on Master Zongxin's Salt Island. Any control is to fully support Master Zong Xin's great cause. Liu Sheng has long wiped out all the bandits and robbers around him. The troops of Prince Lei's Mansion are here just to restrain the evil intentions of buyers.

Liu Sheng is considered a very smart man. If he were a narrow-minded emperor, he would definitely be jealous of Zong Xin doing business in his territory, regret selling the island to Zong Xin, and try every means to take back the island so that he can do it himself Isn't it more profitable to start a salt business?
But Liu Sheng didn't think so, because no one except Zong Xin knew the technology of directly changing salt from seawater, and Zong Xin kept this technology strictly confidential, and no one else could pry into the mystery.If Liu Sheng interfered with it, Zongxin would be so angry that he would directly destroy Yandao and continue to produce salt in another place. This would have no impact on Zongxin, but the economy of the Southern Han Dynasty would be pulled back a lot. .

Liu Sheng was open-minded and figured out this problem, so instead of stopping Zong Xin from making profits in his own territory, he fully supported it.Because of this move, the economy of Southern Han Dynasty was much more prosperous than before. Liu Sheng laughed from ear to ear just collecting taxes. Instead of increasing the salt tax, he reduced the salt tax, allowing these merchants to earn more profits, so the merchants We all like to go to Salt Island to buy salt.

This action made the national power and financial resources of the Southern Han Dynasty soar. Coupled with Li Jing's attack on Chu, many people from the Chu Kingdom fled to the Southern Han Dynasty. The Southern Han Dynasty was originally sparsely populated. As long as the refugees were all accepted, and the disaster relief food was distributed And seeds, distribute the land to these victims, and let them grow food and build houses. The Southern Han Dynasty, which had always been at the lowest end, rose rapidly, and Li Jing would not move him easily because of the strength of the country.

Of course, Li Jing also has other ideas, the pigs just need to be fattened before being killed.Hannan is located in a tropical coastal area, and has abundant water sources. In some places, food is harvested three times a year, and seafood resources are abundant. It will not be too late to attack Nanhan after it becomes rich.

This move of the Southern Han Dynasty had a great impact on the world, not only Li Jing, but also Wu Yue Zhongxun Wang Qian Zhen who was most affected.The situation in Wuyue and the Southern Han Dynasty was originally similar. In coastal tropical areas, salt production was the main industry and grain growing was a sideline. Salt production was originally the most important economic pillar for Wuyue and the Southern Han Dynasty. Unfortunately, Zongxin’s Salt Island was born. , the Southern Han Dynasty took a big advantage, but Wu Yue lost the most important economic pillar because of this, and his national strength was greatly weakened.
