On the wedding night, the villain husband cried and his eyes turned red
Chapter 175 A great victory and expansion of territory
Potatoes, spirits, meat, these things with poppy juice added were sold to Suiu Country at low prices. Looking at the increasing sales, Wen Yidi felt reassured and worried at the same time.
"Master, don't worry. After all, the content of poppy grass in this food and drink is limited. Even if those people are addicted, they will feel uncomfortable for a few days if they stop suddenly. They can still quit by gritting their teeth."
After Sixi reported her account to Wen Yidi, she quickly spoke a few words of comfort. He knew that his master had always hated poppies. Now that the master is allowed to do business related to poppies, the master will definitely feel uncomfortable.
Wen Yidi waved his hand, signaling Sixi to step back. When he was the only one left in the room, Wen Yidi took out his account book and started writing seriously. When a shocking number appeared on the paper, he took a deep breath, tore off what he had just written, and burned it cleanly on the candlelight.
It's time to notify Xu Shihuan and General Guan to close the net.
Since that day, the prices of goods sold by the Meng people have skyrocketed, reaching an unacceptable level. Upon seeing this, the soldiers and a small number of people from the Siwu Kingdom clashed with the Meng Kingdom merchants.
"The price of your stuff is too outrageous..."
“The price is clearly marked, you can buy it if you want to, and no one will force you if you don’t want to buy it.”
The Meng countryman explained stiffly, holding the sword beside him calmly, ready to take action at any time. Seeing that the Meng people came well prepared, the Suwu people hesitated again and again, but still had no impulse. They stayed in a stalemate for a while and then left.
The danger was eliminated, and the Meng people took a long breath, secretly amazed in their hearts. Everything that happened now was actually within that person's expectation.
The person who contacted him was a man who looked young. He spoke in Meng Mandarin, which was not fluent, but the expression on his face was calm and composed, which made people feel at ease.
The Meng people didn't know that the person he was interacting with was not a man at all, but a woman. She is not a speculative businessman, but Xu Shihuan, the general magistrate of Mengzhou in the Wanhua Kingdom.
Soon, the soldiers and people of Suwu Kingdom discovered that something seemed wrong with their condition. It obviously looks the same, but when I eat it, I feel like something is missing, which makes me feel terribly uncomfortable.
They wanted to find the Mengguo businessman, but suddenly found that there was no trace of that man. At the same time, many vendors doing casual business found them and said that they had the same "good goods" in their hands.
However, the price is higher than before. The goods they took from the Meng Kingdom merchants were at the previous price, and they would naturally have to add a few percent more when selling them again.
The white money went into Xu Shihuan's pocket like running water. She divided the money into three parts, and left one part for the Guan family army to settle those soldiers who were "killed" on the battlefield.
The other portion was left for Wen Yidi. During the period of leaving Yong'an City, Wen Yidi successively selected a group of capable and thoughtful shopkeepers, and a group of them had vague intentions of leaving the Wen family and setting up their own business.
Xu Shihuan kept the last portion for himself. With this money, she was able to get along like a fish in water in Mengzhou. The prefect of Mengzhou didn't want to meddle in other people's business, but now he found out that there was money to be taken, so he usually turned a blind eye.
The people of Mengzhou are not rich in life. Xu Shihuan left the work of extracting poppies to the poor people. You know, many years ago, poppy grass was something only wealthy families could enjoy.
Common people like them, let alone understanding the addictive properties of poppy grass, have never even seen it. Xu Shihuan did not intend to hide the use of poppies by the soldiers of the Suwu Kingdom. On the contrary, she wants to be above board.
Xu Shihuan had already written a memorial and explained to the emperor the situation of the war between the two countries. In the memorial, she described the soldiers of the Suwu Kingdom as extremely brave and fearless of life and death, vaguely revealing that the Guan family's army was difficult to resist.
After making enough preparations, Xu Shihuan came up with the idea of using poppies to poison the enemy. She would send people to quietly sprinkle the extracted poppies into the upper reaches of the Suiwu Kingdom, polluting their water sources.
It won't be long before enemy troops become addicted to poppy grass. If the supply of poppies is cut off at this time, they will be weak and in unbearable pain, and will have no strength to resist in battle.
However, the sale of this poppy grass is prohibited in Wanhua Kingdom. If you want to poison the enemy, you have to quickly find someone to plant and extract it. If the emperor thinks this method is feasible, he will have to allocate a sum of money to Xu Shihuan.
These days, the emperor has been stunned by the news of defeat. After reading Xu Shihuan's memorial, he decisively agreed without thinking too much.
However, when he was dialing the money, he hesitated for a long time, and in the end he only got 10,000 taels. However, for Xu Shihuan, these 10,000 taels were considered a windfall.
The poor people in Mengzhou have all participated in the work of growing opium grass and extracting its juice. Because Xu Tongsuan repeatedly emphasized that the juice was poisonous, no one wanted to take advantage of the poppy grass.
A few months passed like this. Seeing that the time was ripe, Xu Shihuan ordered all the poppies to be destroyed and completely stopped the trade between the Meng people and the traders from the Siwu country.
As the stocks in the hands of Suwu soldiers were exhausted, the symptoms of opium addiction gradually appeared in the military camp. From the nearby people, to the soldiers in the army, to the generals of Suwu Kingdom, most of them had similar symptoms.
Just when the army was in chaos, Guan Jiajun suddenly launched an attack. The once formidable army was now vulnerable.
Many people in the Wanhua Kingdom's army were newly recruited and were terribly afraid of going to the battlefield. But at this moment, each of them transformed into a brave god of war and chopped off the head of an enemy soldier in three or two strokes.
"Who said people from Suwu country are strong and strong? In my opinion, they are not as good as those white-faced scholars."
This victory gave them great confidence. Many people even began to suspect that they had taken the wrong path before. He shouldn't have struggled with the imperial examination, but should have joined the army as early as possible.
The king of Suiwu didn't know what happened in the army, how could he become so vulnerable. The soldiers of Wanhua Kingdom did not know what happened to the enemy, and they turned out to be at the mercy of others.
General Guan Lao was not in a hurry to celebrate the victory. Instead, he pursued the victory and set foot directly on the territory of Suwu Kingdom. They went all the way north and killed the enemy without leaving any trace behind.
When they stopped, they found that they had crossed the border for more than a hundred miles. This also means that the territory of Wanhua Kingdom has expanded further north. Soon, the people of their Wanhua Kingdom will be living in this land.
When the news reached the palace, the emperor was so surprised that he could not say a word. Since he ascended the throne, the territory of Wanhua Kingdom has not expanded one point. Let me ask, which emperor did not have the dream of unifying the world when he was young.
But he never expected that at this age and under such circumstances, Guan Jiajun not only won, but also won extremely beautifully.
