Am I a scumbag?

Within half a month, both Xun Chang and Yuwen Changfeng had already packed their luggage.

They went to Luoyun not in the name of envoys, but as officials and merchants, and brought a lot of gold and silver treasures.After all, the relationship between the two countries is not deadlocked on the surface, and there is business to be done, of course? I am happy to see it.

As for doing things in private after that, that's right? Everyone depends on their ability.

While Xun Chang was taking stock of the carts and goods he had brought, he unconsciously hummed a song with magical sounds.

"Wucheng? I don't go home after working hard every day~ because I love my big summer~ I don't rest for the whole month~just? For Jiangshan Sheji~"

This "Song of Dedication" is said to have been compiled recently by officials of the Ministry of Criminal Justice.

Because Xi Xingjian interrogated the spies at Dali Temple for days and nights without holidays, everyone in Dali Temple has been exhausted and haggard recently.But because a lot of secrets were found out in the trial, they received the special reward from the emperor, and all of them were happy and pained again.

Yuwen Changfeng used to travel around the world before, but? He was used to seeing Luoyun, Kanyu, and Yinlan's imperial court officials idling and slowing down and sabotaging their work.

Now look at Xi Xingjian, and look at the various ministries of the Great Xia court—this efficiency, this standard, this enthusiasm!

The same is true for common people. During these days, Yuwen Changfeng also went to the West Market every day for breakfast in the morning, Xinghualou at noon, wine in the evening, and supper in the middle of the night.

I really saw the enthusiasm of small stall vendors who are willing to open their stalls early in the morning and close their stalls at midnight because they can make money.

It's not like when he was in Kanyu back then, there were a few sporadic people on the street in bright sunlight? It was like a ghost town.Everyone eats a black cake that is as hard as a rock at home and pays for it, and no one wants to buy a delicious breakfast!

Sure enough, the change from weak to strong in just ten years? There is a reason, from the emperor to the officials and the common people all contributed.

Yuwen Changfeng is satisfied with everything about Daxia, but he still has a few small regrets before going to Luoyun this time.

"Let's just leave again. I still haven't even seen the face of the second prince!"

"You think Zhuang Qingqu is too stingy?"

Xun Chang: "Hee hee hee."

In fact, since Yuwen Changfeng came back from Beimo, Zhuang Qingqu is not?

Or? Very? There are a series of rewards, praises, promotions and all kinds of care in name, especially? I have personally summoned Yuwen Changfeng several times?

However, every time he "summoned in person" he was alone and never saw the emperor.

Every time Yuwen Changfeng talked about wanting to see the second? The prince was reminiscing about the old days, Zhuang Qingqu put his chin on his hands and said, "Arrange for you".

Really? Will arrange.

Arranging and arranging, it is arranged to go to Luoyun Country!

"Changfeng, don't be impatient, let's just take it as Zhuang Qingqu's compliment on your appearance. After all, Ah Liang is now... Even looking at Xi Xingjian and Xu Zizhen can make his eyes twitch. Straight, Zhuang Qing Qu is sore every day, how could he let him see you?"

Really? Ten years later, Yuwen Changfeng appeared to be too handsome and uncommon, just like when Zhuang Qingqu saw him for the first time after he came back from Beimo? With that expression, Xun Chang silently knew that Yuwen Changfeng wanted to see him in the future after watching him Ah Zhao? I'm afraid it will be indefinitely.

So is Yuwen Changfeng? Helpless: "The world is unpredictable."

"Who would have thought that Zhuang Qingqu's eyes were higher than the top since he was a child, and one day he would end up hurting others???"

"When I was a child, I often thought, with his aloof appearance, I don't know what kind of wife he will marry in the future. I'm afraid it's difficult for him to fall into the eyes of a direct princess or a stunning beauty. did not expect……"

Never expected that in the end it was the prince who dominated the second prince and wouldn't let him go!

The second? The prince is of course? Excellent, smart, lively and approachable, calm and reliable, and willing to think for the common people in the world.All the companions back then especially liked to be close to him, except for Zhuang Qingqu.

Yuwen Changfeng once secretly thought about it, everyone has eyes, only Zhuang Qingqu is blind.

But he didn't expect that the man who was blind back then would recover his light one day, and when he turned around, he took everyone's second prince into his arms and hid him, refusing to show it to everyone.

How could it be so unreasonable?

At least look at it? Who came first? Okay?And Zhuang Qingqu was so blind back then, why? How did he suddenly wake up?

Xun Chang: "Changfeng, you might as well, just think of Zhuang Qingqu as the magic lin in "Xiajing?"

Yuwen Changfeng understood immediately.

The magic lin is the proudest and most unruly beast in "Xia Jing?" The first illustration in the opening chapter of "Xia Jing" is the evil spirit of the evil spirit harming the world.

However, the last illustration in the book is the big summer cat, the cat and the rabbit, sleeping on the head of the magic lin.

No one dared to provoke the haughty and unassuming beast, so the ruyigao beast dared to stretch out its paws to tease him.Molin naturally bared his fangs ferociously, until he was completely conquered and trampled under his feet by Yingru, and he became extremely well-behaved and possessive ever since.

The text of "Summer Classic" is written very clearly. Molin is definitely not? He was conquered by Yingru's cute appearance.

What is it? It can't be defeated simply.

A big black dragon failed to beat the cat, cat and rabbit? Shame, but who makes the cat, cat and rabbit invincible.Later, the big black dragon followed Yingru and pampered Yingru every day.If someone is deceived by Yingru's appearance and wants to try to bully Yingru, he must first be dealt with by the big black dragon.

……

To go to Luoyun Country, you need to take a boat, but Huadu is not far from the mouth of the sea, and you will arrive in two or three days.

Yuwen Changfeng stood at the port: "..."

Xun Chang: "What's wrong?"

Yuwen Changfeng: "This boat is so big!!!"

Xun Chang: "Very? Big?"

"Very big, so big!!! Xun Zhang, don't you pretend to me! This is not big, what is big?"

Yuwen Changfeng's heart couldn't stop beating. The last time he saw such a magnificent merchant ship was? It was? Seven or eight years ago.Is it? He left Luoyun Kingdom to take a boat to Yinlan. He was on the "Kunpeng Boat" that Luoyun Kingdom is most proud of.

Is it really called Kunpeng? It has a false name and spreads its wings tens of thousands of miles.

At that time, he still thought, when will Daxia have a ship like this.After that, for many years, he had never been in a boat as good as that of Luoyun Country in other countries.

Now I finally see it, they already have such a boat in Daxia!

Blue Wave Voyage.

Farther and farther away from the shore, Yuwen Changfeng stood on the deck: "Oh, it's a pity, it's a pity, I forgot, I have a friend who is also this time? I didn't see it!"

My friend is a foreign blond-haired and bearded businessman named Poirot. When Yuwen Changfeng was studying in Kanyu, he drank with him every day.

The wife and great-grandfather of the bearded Poirot used to travel to the Great Xia during Emperor Wu's time. After returning, the rumors of the splendid and luxurious Oriental Land of Mystery have been circulating in his family.

As a result, Poirot had a very high vision for Daxia since he was a child, and he kept thinking about coming.

When Yuwen Changfeng left Kanyu Kingdom, this Poluo just happened to inherit the huge family business, saying that he was going to come to Daxia to sell goods.

Later, he really came, and he came to the mansion to look for Yuwen Changfeng. Unfortunately, at that time?

Xun Chang patted him: "It's okay, the world is big, but I believe that we will meet again by fate!"

The corners of his eyes were crooked, looking at the blue sea, but actually there was a trace of regret in his heart.

Ever since Bei Mo met Tan Taihong, he has been investigating what this person has been doing all these years, but he has been unable to find out.

Yan Yuliang didn't remember this person at all, and couldn't ask.

I still remember that when Tan Taihong was "asked and beheaded", Ah Liang cried for several days and couldn't go to court. After many years of acting, no one doubted it. So there is no one before or after who can act as a real dog.

I think back when I was young, the second prince and Tan Taihong had always had the best relationship.

Although Tan Taihong is the same as Zhuang Qingqu? The powerful young master of a noble family, but he has a bunch of talented brothers.Unlike the Zhuang family, Zhuang Qingqu is an only son, and the attention they receive at home is completely different.

Therefore, although he is no worse than Zhuang Qingqu in literature and martial arts, he is never as aloof as Zhuang Qingqu, but he is cheerful and pure, so he gets along very well with the second prince.

If it was said who among the group of accompanying students was the best match for the second prince, it must be Tan Taihong.

Xun Chang wondered if he could count to two? The prince would join hands with a man in the future, and he would definitely guess it was? He and Tan Taihong, not Zhuang Qingqu.

But as Yuwen Changfeng said, things are unpredictable.

As for feelings, if you like it? Like it, but if you can’t let it go? You can’t let it go.There is no necessary connection between the true coming and the origin? What is the appearance or even the temperament? Whether it matches or not.

Even Zhuang Qingqu, who is as arrogant as Zhuang Qingqu, can become soft.

In Xun Chang's view, compared to Tan Taihong, Zhuang Qingqu is considered lucky.

Although the two families have kept Daxia in chaos for many years, but the end of the Zhuang family is that the whole family died for the country, and their reputation has been restored. Only by relying on their illustrious military exploits can Zhuang Qingqu become a reality in the hearts of everyone. The well-deserved king of Lan.

But Tan Taihong's ending can't "turn the merits into a crime", he can only die or disappear.

After all, the Tantai family is a notorious treasonist, even if Tantaihong did not participate in the rebellion, so are the officials and the common people? Regardless of the group, please kill him.It is the best result for Yan Yuliang to secretly send him abroad, and it is absolutely impossible to keep him by his side.

To put it bluntly, is it? There is no fate between Tan Taihong and the emperor that can stay together.

……

Ever since he learned about the balance of the Luoyun Kingdom, the frontier might be overwhelmed by the grassland cavalry army at any time, so it is easy to think about the countermeasures every day.

Despise the enemy strategically, but pay attention to the enemy tactically.What the historian Xiao Zhou taught him two days ago was simply too reasonable.

For the time being, let's take this as a test.

The ancients said that invincible foreign patients will perish forever.Luoyun was willing to pay them for such a trial, so it might not be bad.

Although the motherland is large, it will perish if it is warlike.But you need to know this? There is another sentence in the back-although the world is safe, if you forget the battle, you will be in danger.

Right now, Luoyun is trying every means to curb the rise of Daxia. Daxia can't turn things around for a while and can only accept it.This time it was a loss, but who made Daxia weak for the previous 200 years, while Luoyun has always been strong.

It is impossible for Yan Yuliang to completely break the pattern of hundreds of years in just ten years.

But it will break soon.

This time it is a defense, and after the defense is a confrontation, and after the confrontation, the counterattack is not far away.

Just be patient for now.

Zhuang Qingqu: "Don't worry, Azhao, even though Luoyun supports the northern tribes, I will guard them. The more Luoyun supports, make an appointment. By then? Swallow all the bones and there will be nothing left, and let them lose everything!"

During this period of time, King Lan often went to the Green Willow Camp for inspections.

And General Xiahoulie's troops, who were firmly on the defensive, had already been partially equipped, and the leading troops had already set out for the northern desert.

Although Yuwen Changfeng went to Luoyun, the line of Beimo Kedun was still held by his father Yu Wenhuaji.

Right now the situation in the north is? Very? Anxiety.King Chuyue is cooperating with Yingzhou and Luoyun to force Beimo Rama Khan to send troops.However, Yu Wenhuaji instigated anti-war sentiment among the people, and it will be a day if it can be delayed.

Beimo Kedun is just a weak woman from Yingzhou, who has no way to deal with the complicated situation.But once there is any change in the news, she will always be the first to spread the news, so that Daxia can deploy actions here.

Now her family has been taken to Daxia secretly, and her hometown Yingzhou has lost to them, so she can only regard herself as a member of Daxia.

Yan Yuliang naturally hopes that the old governor of Yuwen can work harder, continue to mobilize the people's power, and delay the war as late as possible.

The longer it drags on, the better it will be for Daxia.

Because here, Hu Lu's brother has already taught everyone blacksmithing in the Ministry of Industry.The heavy-forged weapon with the meteorite was already able to chop off the best refined iron weapon at the time of the last trial.

The advantages are exciting, it's just that mass production will take time.

The longer it is delayed to start the war, the more soldiers will be equipped with such invincible martial arts.

In the days when he was procrastinating for time while actively preparing for the war, what Yan Yuliang was most anxious to solve was still the shortage of military rations.

To grow by oneself, to grow desperately.

But before they are planted in the fall, they have to be bought in large quantities.

When buying, you have to be careful not to be cheated.

Even if it is urgent to burn coal, you can't go to the doctor in an emergency. The emperor is still cautious.

However, what is ridiculous is that the arrest of spies during the Lantern Festival spread like wildfire. Many people condemned Luoyun Kingdom as sinister after dinner, but at the same time, many merchants saw the fact that there might be a war and began to sell food. Price, blatantly intending to send? National calamity.

Among them, there are many who were attached to the Tantai family back then, and immediately acted accordingly after the collapse of the Tantai family.

Sure enough, in this world, in addition to being blinded by sex, the most common thing is to be blinded by profit.

Yan Yuliang felt very good.Originally, this group of people was in his little black notebook.If not? A few years before they were all big and successful, they had to rely on them to build ships and build roads. Yan Yuliang would have wanted to deal with them a long time ago.

Actually delivered to the door.

In this world, people are so different.There are people like Xi Qing who are conscientious and dedicated to serving the country, and there are people who can't hold back petty profits and will eventually eat them back.

And they are so smart, don't they understand that even if it is? When a dodder flower, you can't harm the country for your own self-interest, otherwise it will end up being a total loss?

They understand, but it's a pity they can't stand it.That is? Suicide.

Recently, there was another person who also provoked Yan Yuliang.

That's it? The blond corn seller? The bearded guy.Before Yan Yuliang, he went out of the city to look for him.

One is to ask for corn seeds, and the other is that there is a real shortage of food.He has already found out that this person is a big merchant in the Kanyu Kingdom, who has several warehouses of grain near the capital.

He said he was willing to pay a high price for it, but the blond, blue-eyed, bearded man was dishonest.

"It's a pity, the food here has already been ordered by the imperial court."

Yan Yuliang: "Really?"

Which court?Are there other courts in this Great Xia?

But after all, even domestic businessmen are driving up food prices, and foreigners naturally come from afar to make such a fuss, and they want rare goods to live in.He then went to buy seeds from him first.

It is said that the yield of maize is very high, and after a large area is planted, it will be able to solve the problem of rations for most troops in autumn.

The price of the so-called "good breed" is also very high.

However, after Yan Yuliang took it back, Hu Lu's brother who was good at farming shook his head firmly after seeing it, saying that it was definitely not a good breed.

The emperor was very angry, and the consequences were serious.And Poirot, a bearded businessman from Kanyu Kingdom, is still happily counting money.

Of course he couldn't have sold the good breed.Otherwise, Daxia will be able to grow it by himself next year, how can he live in a lot of rare goods in the future? Earn money?

Anyway, if the other party doesn't understand and can't find out, even if he finds out, he just denies and refuses to admit it, so what can he do?

Daxia is very protective of foreign traders, but how can he be arrested because of this unclear matter?

Poirot was satisfied with everything during his trip to Daxia.

The only depressing thing is that he didn't meet his old friend Yuwen Changfeng—if he met him, he would have to ask Yuwen Changfeng to pay him a bottle of good wine for what he said many years ago?!

Back then in Kanyu Country, Poirot and Yuwen Changfeng drank and chatted about Daxia.Yuwen Changfeng told him that in fact Daxia is not as powerful as he imagined.

Poirot didn't believe it: "I've heard my grandfather's grandfather's grandfather say that Daxia is an oriental fairyland where all nations come to court!"

Yuwen Changfeng was a little embarrassed: "The time of Emperor Wu was good, but after Emperor Wu... well, there are times of ups and downs, and you also know it."

So? Poirot lowered his expectations a little before his visit this time. He didn't bring all the goods he should bring, and he didn't bring a lot of precious gold, silver and jewelry for fear that he wouldn't be able to sell them.

You will regret it later!

He was going to ask Yuwen Changfeng to ask him where he was weak?

Sure enough, what his wife and grandpa said was right, Daxia people like false modesty, even if they live in the palace, they call themselves "humble houses".

This is too modest!So prosperous that he is weak?It's too undesirable to delay him from making a lot of money!

The other side is in the palace.

Although Yan Yuliang was unhappy with those businessmen, he was seriously thinking about how to teach this group of businessmen who just wanted to make a fortune without showing any conscience a good lesson.

After all, it is not good for the imperial court to come forward directly this time. If it was normal, it would be possible to catch a few leaders and kill chickens and monkeys.But right now, there must be no internal chaos during the preparations for the battle, otherwise it will be a disaster.

Domestic businessmen have to be stable, especially foreign businessmen? They must not be allowed to go out and complain that Daxia bullied them.Otherwise, if the time comes and the war becomes tight, they will be pointed at to buy food and weapons from abroad!

Zhuang Qingqu: "Azhao, you might as well leave this matter to me."

Yan Yuliang: "Okay."

He couldn't help being curious: "What is Qingqing going to do?"

King Lan lowered his eyes, smiled without saying a word.It was rare for Yan Yuliang to be betrayed by him, so he couldn't help being excited but also a little distressed.

Is this...could it be again? Want King Lan to be the bad guy, sacrifice his reputation to deal with those people, right?

A few days later, Yan Yuliang saw what Lan Wang did this time.

He really deserves to be the man he chose!

Lanlan is so good now that she has learned to be flexible and to throw the blame away.Lan Wang didn't go out in person this time at all, but asked someone to pass the news to the teacher who refused to obey the discipline and was still "being punished and grounded".

Teacher Lu: "What? The businessmen in front of the enemy dare to do this, it's really heart-wrenching!"

"The emperor's elder brother indulged them in the matter of military rations. I can't tolerate my violent temper."

Especially? That bearded man from abroad, he ate his roasted corn and chatted with him during the Lantern Festival.

Unexpectedly, he seems to be a nice person, dare to sell fake seeds to bully the emperor's brother?

"Steal them!"

……

Yan Yuliang was about to die laughing at what Lan Wang said.

Really? Brilliant.The little general Shilu is a well-known barbarian in Daxia.Everyone knows that he refused to obey the military orders in the desert and chased the king of Beimo with Qingqi. He chased him all over the place from Beimo for a month, and everyone knew that he robbed Yingzhou, and later boarded the navy's boat and robbed Kanyu. Can't control him at all.

Therefore, whatever he did did not represent the intention of the imperial court.

King Lan's move kills two birds with one stone.Shi Lv has always been disobedient to discipline, and this time he was allowed to make a fuss, and it was not easy or serious? Punish him, let him learn a lesson and behave better.

Unexpectedly, King Lan had no plans to spare, but he still lost to the face of the young general Shi.

As a young general who is not afraid of dozens of elite soldiers rushing to kill thousands of Beimo iron cavalry, Shilu brought a dozen or so elite subordinates with him when he went out, and smashed several rich grain merchants in succession. Very surprising.

However, it was smashed? After the smashing, the teacher turned back and filed a complaint, and attached a booklet with the time, place, people, and common people's testimony: "At the foot of the emperor, on the edge of the imperial city, several wealthy merchants are on the street in broad daylight. Hundreds of people bully the last general just over ten people! Fortunately, the last one is?

Yan Yuliang: "Pfft ha ha ha ha ha."

What to do, this is too funny, shameless, he likes this stuff so much!
