The reborn worthy minister is difficult to do

The Empress is holding a scarlet red post, and it's not right to let it go now, or not to let it go.The small list of betrothal gifts was suddenly heavy in her hands.

Although she knew in her heart that Yaoguo must have come prepared this time, she couldn't refute it.

How can you refute?It was because of their rudeness first, Yaoguo was at best treating him in the same way as he did.

This prince of Yao Kingdom is not easy to fool, this is also a master who cannibalize people without spit out bones.

Although the Empress of the Kingdom of Jin was full of complaints, her expression never changed.She calmly opened the red post carefully, her face became more and more ugly as she turned it over.

Originally, if Dayao Country asked to send troops to help Dayao Country attack Yue Country, she could reject Dayao Country just like Yuwen Tiancheng who rejected Yue Country just now.

Neutrality has been the consistent style of the Kingdom of Jin for hundreds of years.

However, the matter of the Great Yao Kingdom was not mentioned at all. Although the Great Yao Kingdom did not propose the matter of soldiers, it made another request that the Empress could not refute, nor could she readily agree to.

Dayao Kingdom wants to buy Jinjia Iron Mine in Jin Kingdom at a low price.

The country of Jin has many mountains and mountains, and there are many Jinshan iron mines in the mountains. Among them, the country of Jin has a kind of iron ore with high hardness that is unique in the whole continent, which is the Jinjia iron mine.

Jinjia iron ore is light in density, but extremely strong in toughness.This kind of iron ore is useless to make weapons, but if it is made into a battle armor, it is a defensive battle armor like gold silk soft armor.

This kind of battle armor is worn on the body, not to mention light, and invulnerable to swords.Not only can you wield your sword like a dance on the battlefield, but you are not afraid of the enemy's open and hidden arrows.

Dayao Kingdom and Yue Kingdom also asked for purchases many times, and Jin Kingdom sold them to them at sky-high prices.

Due to the high price, in these two countries, only generals with aloof status can own a battle armor made of gold armor and iron.

But the country of Jin is different. The country of Jin is remote and has a small population. The total number of soldiers in the whole country is only 100 million.

In Dayao Kingdom alone, there are 80 soldiers in Xiguan, 30 in Beiguan, 30 in Plains, and 20 in South and East. There are a total of 180 million troops, almost twice that of Jin.

The military strength of the Yue Kingdom is similar to that of the Dayao Kingdom. Even so, the Dayao Kingdom and the Yue Kingdom dare not send troops to the Jin Kingdom easily.

Firstly, the Kingdom of Jin was easy to defend but difficult to attack, and it was very difficult to break through. It was because of this golden armor.

Only the generals in Yue Kingdom and Dayao Kingdom can get such a battle armor, but Jin Kingdom is different, almost all the soldiers are wearing such a battle armor.

The strength is tyrannical, unstoppable, it is really a hard bone.

That's why even the belligerent Yue Kingdom is also shy away from the Jin Kingdom. They always covet the Jinjia Iron Mine in the Jin Kingdom, but they stare blankly afterwards.

The empress frowned, staring at the big words on the red post: buy a hundred thousand stones of gold armor and iron at a low price.

One hundred thousand stone? !He also dares to speak!

Dayao Kingdom is really opening its mouth! 20 shi, sixty jin for one shi, 20 shi is 1000 two million jin, one jin of iron smelting in Jinjia Iron Mine can produce about 1000 taels of Jinjia Iron, 720 two million jin of Jinjia Iron Mine [-] million Jinjiatie can be extracted.

The gold-armored iron is light and convenient to make into a battle armor, and it only costs about six or seven catties for a body. The 720 million catties of gold-clad iron can make more than 100 million pieces of gold-clad battle armor!

Seeing the empress's hesitation, Li Haochen made persistent efforts, "Your Majesty, our Dayao Kingdom trades the safety of 200 million people in Beiguan and the hope of the entire Dayao Kingdom in exchange for a mere 20 stones of Jinjia Iron Mine in your country, isn't Your Majesty still willing? "

"If you are not willing, Your Majesty can completely return our Great General Zhenbei to our Dayao Kingdom. Anyway, the two of you are not married yet, and there is still a chance to save everything. If you are married, if you want to choose to reconcile or divorce Wife, our Dayao Kingdom will still welcome General Gongsun back to the country."

The Empress of the Kingdom of Jin pursed her lips, and snorted, "Your Highness, don't be so angry with me. Although the Jinjia Iron Mine is a dead thing, it will take a long time to make up 20 shi."

"Although this request is difficult, I will still try my best to fulfill it. I agreed to this matter because this matter did not directly require us from the Kingdom of Jin to intervene in the wars and disputes outside the Kingdom of Jin. It was just as His Highness said, Make up for the belated dowry for the Queen."

"If your country values ​​the Queen so much and treats me with such courtesy, how can I refute the Queen's face?"

Forced to agree, the scene where the empress wants to speak is brighter.

Hey, the Empress let out a long breath in her heart, turned her head and smiled slightly at Xu Ci, "After chatting with His Highness the Crown Prince for so long, I forgot that Xu Xianma is still by my side. Xu Xianma, let the tea get cold, come on, I'm here Added for you."

Xu Ci hurriedly raised his teacup, "Your Majesty is very flattered, thank you for your kindness."

The Empress chuckled, Li Haochen was too difficult to deal with, and it was much more comfortable to face Xu Xianma.

Xu Ci please took a sip of tea, put the teacup lightly on the table, folded his hands on his lap, put his legs together, and sat upright and generous.

Seeing this, the Empress directly picked up Xu Ci's hand that was closer to her, and rubbed it in her own, "Xu Xianma, as a man, you have fairer and more delicate hands than a woman's. It's really rare."

"I have a younger brother who is also handsome. If he meets Xu Xianma, he will definitely like him very much. Why don't Xu Xianma stay in the palace tonight, how about meeting my younger brother?"

"Your Majesty's kind invitation." Xu Ci smiled slightly, showing a strange smile, "I shouldn't refuse, but I have been feeling cold recently, and I'm always afraid of giving it to His Royal Highness. Come to pay a visit, and when the time comes, please Your Majesty not to keep the minister out of the palace gate."

Having said all of this, it's hard for the Empress of the Kingdom of Jin to keep Xu Ci.

But she didn't let go of Xu Ci's hand, she sighed regretfully, and then the Empress looked at Li Haochen.

I saw that Li Haochen's face was already icy, holding a teacup tightly in his hands, he was afraid that the next teacup would be broken into several pieces just like the teacup in the hands of the Empress of the Kingdom of Jin before.

Finally, the empress let go of Xu Ci's hand slowly, showing a charming smile, "Jin Jia Iron Mine is not as abundant as ordinary iron mines for our country of Jin. But looking for Jin Jia Iron Mine It will take a lot of work, so our country cannot provide the 20 stone Jinjia iron ore to your country in a short time."

Li Haochen put down the wine glass he was holding in his hand, and pondered: "There must be a bottom line, how many stones can your country provide each year?"

"[-] shi per year, okay?" the empress thought for a while and replied.

Li Haochen shook his head without thinking, "No, [-] a year is too little, at least [-], it can't be lower, I know your Jin Kingdom's annual output, Your Majesty don't lie to me."

Fifty thousand is exactly their yearly output, the Empress bit her lip, seeing that she couldn't coax Li Haochen, she gritted her teeth and said, "Okay! Fifty thousand is fifty thousand."

After discussing this matter, Li Haochen stood up and said goodbye.

The Empress of the Kingdom of Jin was given a headache for a while by him, wishing that he would leave as soon as possible.

As soon as Li Haochen left, the Empress of the Kingdom of Jin said to the eunuchs accompanying her, "I feel unwell, and I won't see anyone today!" After saying that, she flicked her sleeves and strode away.

Gongsun Tuo only sent Li Haochen and the others to the gate of the palace, and stopped seeing each other off.

He had already placed them in a royal courtyard not far from the Lihuang Palace. He ordered someone to clean up this courtyard as early as a month ago, just to accommodate Li Haochen and others.

People from other countries who came to congratulate each other also had their own accommodations, but they were different from each other according to their relatives and estrangements. Most of them were arranged in post houses.

After seeing off Li Haochen and the others, Gongsun Tuo turned around abruptly, and walked towards the bedroom of the Empress of the Kingdom of Jin without looking back.

She actually learned how to tease people in front of him. He will teach her a lesson this time.

When Li Haochen came to the Royal Courtyard, they each found a few rooms to live in.Li Haochen and Li Haosheng had a harmonious appearance, and both of them were distinguished, so they were naturally living in two hospitals.

Several other people chose a few adjacent yards and settled down.

They have been away for nearly 20 days, plus a few days of delay in Dayao Kingdom, now there are only six days left before the wedding of the Empress of Jin Kingdom and Gongsun Tuo.

In the past six days, Li Haochen still wanted to look around, but this time he couldn't come in vain.

The Kingdom of Jin is closed and has little contact with neighboring countries.This is actually somewhat similar to Snow Country.However, although the Snow Country does not like to communicate with other countries, it has precious treasures and cannot protect itself. In the end, it has to cling to the wings of the Great Yao Country to survive intact.

Unlike the Kingdom of Jin, the Kingdom of Jin is fully capable of self-protection.

Because Li Haocheng lived next door, Li Haochen was not too close to Xu Ci.

After several days of exhaustion, the group cleaned up at night and then took a rest early.

The next day, just after dawn, Xu Ci received a biography from the eunuch in the palace. The eunuch did not pass the biography on behalf of the empress, but came by the order of Jun, the only prince of the Kingdom of Jin.

The royal family of the Kingdom of Jin invited Xu Ci to be a guest over and over again, but it was hard for Xu Ci to refuse.

Seeing this, Li Haochen also nodded in agreement.In the Jin Kingdom Palace, it is very safe, he is very relieved, "You go, it happens that Gu is going to take a car to look around this Lingzhou today, I guess it will take a day to go out."

"Oh," Xu Ci pursed his lips, a little disappointed, "I wanted to go out with His Royal Highness, but now I don't have this chance."

Seeing this, Li Haochen's eyes slightly bent and revealed a doting smile. He pinched Xu Ci's earlobe and chuckled, "If the relationship lasts for a long time, how can it be day and night. Little guy, if you are so clingy to loneliness, you are not afraid of loneliness." annoyed."

Seeing that there was no one around, Xu Ci tiptoed resolutely, and lightly bit the tip of Li Haochen's nose, "Even if Your Highness is annoyed, Xiao Ci will follow, follow, Your Highness will get used to it."

Li Haochen had no choice but to take Xu Ci the most, "If there is something interesting along the way, can Gu buy it for you?"

"Who cares about something interesting? I only care about the things His Highness the Crown Prince gave, not because of the things themselves. My name is Aiwujiwu, you know, Your Highness the Crown Prince."

Xu Ci put his hand into Li Haochen's wide sleeves, and walked up Li Haochen's powerful and strong arms all the way, provocative, seductive, and seductively full of Li Haochen's chest.

Li Haochen froze, and grabbed Xu Ci's arm that was getting more and more aggressive with his other hand.

Xu Ci refused, bit his lip and stared at Li Haochen with black and white wet eyes, the hand hidden under the coat of His Highness the Crown Prince continued to move.

Through the obscene clothes, Xu Ci touched a small bump on Li Haochen's. As soon as he touched it, he spun and rubbed it a few times, until he was relieved, and then slowly pulled out his arm again.

After finishing these, Xu Ci showed a smile, "Then Your Highness, the next official will follow the waiting father-in-law into the palace."

Being aroused by Xu Ci, Li Haochen wished he could be executed on the spot, but seeing Xu Ci's appearance after his treacherous plan succeeded, he felt cute and funny again, "Go, go, stay away from loneliness." Gu has to rush back to put out the fire.

Xu Ci looked at Li Haochen's protruding hem, giggled non-stop, turned his head with his hands behind his back, raised his head and walked happily away.

Li Haochen smiled helplessly, and immediately gave up the idea of ​​going out now. He turned around and walked back to the house, closed the door and did something that he couldn't tell others.

After about a stick of incense, Li Haochen walked out of the room again, ready to take Mo Ye to take a tour of the beautiful scenery of Lingzhou, the capital of the Kingdom of Jin.

Just as I got into the car, I heard a call from behind, "Brother Huang, do you want to go out for a tour?"

Li Haochen turned his head and saw Li Haocheng wearing a dark purple robe, wearing beautiful jade on his waist, standing facing the wind.

"Exactly." Li Haochen nodded lightly.

Li Haocheng's eyes lit up when he heard the words, "It's just right, my younger brother also has this intention, I wonder if I can go with the emperor brother."

Li Haochen went out today just to get a glimpse of the customs and habits of the people of the Kingdom of Jin. Taking Li Haocheng with him was just an extra person in the car, so it didn't matter at all.

He shrugged and pointed to the carriage, "If you don't mind the Fourth Emperor, please take my carriage together."

The national style of the Jin Kingdom is not much different from that of the Dayao Kingdom. After walking around Lingzhou, Mo Ye was not idle.

Mo Ye disguised himself as an ordinary-looking groom again this time, and set up the carriage steadily and evenly along the way.

Every time Li Haochen got out of the car, he would chat with a few passers-by to learn about the folk customs of the Kingdom of Jin.

He asked the Kingdom of Jin for 20 stones of Jinjia iron ore, not just for the battle armor. The Kingdom of Jin is rich in iron ore, but it is a closed country and never has any transactions with other countries.

Now he wants to rely on the 20 shi Jinjia Iron Mine to slowly dig out a trading channel in the impenetrable country of Jin Kingdom. Four years is enough.

Dayao country has many soldiers and horses, and it is a country that uses iron, but Dayao country does not have enough iron mines. The weapons used by soldiers are often used and then recast.

But this matter is not a long-term solution. If a narrow trading channel can be opened up with Jin Guo, they don't need to worry too much about the iron ore they need.

After walking around Lingzhou, Li Haochen asked a passerby for the location of the iron mines in the suburbs.Li Haochen came here just for the iron mine, so he naturally wanted to see this iron mine.

After thinking about it, Li Haochen ordered Mo Ye to drive to the suburbs.
