Chapter 1166 - Increasing Productivity
The more amiable he was, the more frightened Jiu Zhu became, especially when there was a dying man lying in front of him.
Looking down, there was a person lying between Jiuzhu and Wen Qingzhu, it was Tao Million.
It's not that Jiuzhu has never seen a dead person, but he has never seen such a person who is slowly waiting for death.
Raising his eyes and looking at the sky, there is no moon tonight, the starlight is prosperous, but unfortunately it can't compare to the brilliance of the moon.
It's dark around and there are mosquitoes.
They had been sitting cross-legged here for two hours, and Jiu Zhu really couldn't sit down: "Princess, you are still pregnant, and resting too late is not good for the child." β
"It's okay, I'll just sleep during the day." Wen Qingzhu didn't have to wait for Jiang Yuancheng's people to come, but she really didn't have any sleepiness now.
Jiuzhu opened his mouth, and finally chose to chant.
The sound of chanting sounded in front of him, and Wen Qingzhu's mood also calmed down.
Suddenly, Jiuzhu suddenly opened his eyes, looked at Wen Qingzhu's back and stared at his round eyes, raised his hand and said tremblingly: "Come, come, come!" β
Jiu Zhu got up and wanted to run, but the next second a sword was across his neck, and he suddenly knelt down and begged for mercy: "A good man spare his life!" Spare your life! β
Looking at the man in black in front of Jiu Zhu, Wen Qingzhu knew that there was someone behind him.
She asked very calmly, "Childe came here late at night, why did you do it?" β
"What about the gold?" A familiar and hoarse voice sounded behind him, and a smile suddenly appeared on Wen Qingzhu's face.
She lightly ordered: "Come, go and get the gold." β
Not far away, the green pottery patiently left, and went to get a small box of gold.
When he came to Wen Qingzhu, before he put down the box, he heard the person behind him speak again: "Wen Qingzhu!" There is a limit to my patience! β
"Really?" Wen Qingzhu was about to stand up, but a knife fell from his shoulder, and the blade of the sword gently slid off a few black hairs and fell to the ground along his shoulder.
So Wen Qingzhu didn't move anymore with great interest, but just told the people behind him the truth: "The gold is all here, so much, you can't take it away." β
"Where?" The people behind him didn't talk nonsense.
Wen Qingzhu laughed softly: "It should have taken a lot of effort for you to come in." β
Jiang Yuancheng behind him squinted slightly, and there was an iron plate fixed on his legs, which supported him to stand up.
The sword in his hand moved towards Wen Qingzhu's neck: "I don't have the patience to talk nonsense with you!" Hurry up and tell where the gold is! β
"Jiang Yuancheng, Jiang Yuancheng, it seems that you really handed over all the silver to Tao Million for safekeeping, but what I didn't expect was that he actually fell into my hands, right?" Wen Qingzhu's smile grew bigger and bigger.
From the pitch-black pupils of the nine candles opposite, she saw Jiang Yuancheng behind her who was supported by iron armor.
After sighing slightly, Wen Qingzhu slowly moved to the side, Jiang Yuancheng wanted to move his hand, but found that he couldn't move at all.
This made Jiang Yuancheng immediately shout: "Retreat!" β
Wen Qingzhu stood up and turned his head to look at Jiang Yuancheng behind him, his upper body was still the appearance of a handsome boy, but the lower half of his body was like a fake limb with iron sheets.
Seeing him like this, Wen Qingzhu was a little curious: "Who treated your leg like this?" β
Jiang Yuancheng was unwilling to escape, but the secret guards who were ambushed around quickly gathered.
The person who didn't want the bush to hold the nine candles hostage suddenly attacked Wen Qingzhu's back.
"Be careful!" Aisha rolled out from under the god case, pulling Wen Qingzhu behind her, while throwing a handful of black powder at the attacker.
Seeing this, Jiu Zhu hurriedly retreated, for fear of getting a little contaminated.
The man in black immediately retreated two steps, but it was still too late, and the poison powder stained his body.
Aisha stood up straight: "I really didn't expect the master to be alive." β
"Compared to you, a good apprentice, of course you have to live well as a teacher." There seemed to be resentment in the eyes of the man in black, and he turned and disappeared.
Wen Qingzhu looked back and saw that Jiang Yuancheng was also gone.
However, she was not worried, and walked in front of Tao Million with the help of Green Tao, and most of the poisonous powder fell on him just now.
At this time, his face quickly darkened, and his breathing became chaotic.
"It looks like there's no help." Wen Qingzhu turned around to leave, but he knew that the corner of his skirt was grabbed violently.
When he looked back, he saw that the blackness on Tao Wanwan's face was slowly fading, and he said angrily: "Save me!" I also know how to contact Xianbei! β
Wen Qingzhu's eyes froze: "You didn't lie to me?" β
"Of course, ahem!" Tao Million felt extremely uncomfortable, he desperately wanted to breathe, but he only breathed out but did not breathe.
He was unwilling to open his eyes wide, why would he die! Why!
After thinking about it, Wen Qingzhu bent down and protected his heart with a silver needle, and suddenly breathed a little easier.
Seeing that no one was caught, Aisha immediately fed Tao Million with an antidote.
"Aisha-sama, let's talk." Wen Qingzhu turned his head and walked towards the meditation room, not caring if he could catch Jiang Yuancheng, as long as he could catch up with his whereabouts this time. 16 reading
When he arrived in the meditation room, Wen Qingzhu felt a little tired, as if Aisha had opened her heart: "I can help Fu Lie this time, I have already helped, I don't know if he will believe me this time." β
"The princess and the regent......" Aisha didn't think that there would be problems in their relationship.
Wen Qingzhu straightened his body, lifted the kettle and poured two glasses of water, one was handed to Aisha, and the other was drunk by himself.
The dry throat was finally moistened, and Wen Qingzhu's eyes became clear: "You came here this time, you should want to ask about trade, right?" β
"Yes." Aisha is also very simple and has nothing to hide, "The war has made us short of food, and we can exchange our minerals and cattle and sheep for it." β
Wen Qingzhu laughed: "Lord Aisha is really direct, but this is not a way to talk about business, you should call Denton or Doghead over." β
"Denton is very busy, and the dog head said that he didn't dare to come by himself, so I came."
"Not to see Shen Yu?" Wen Qingzhu asked with a deliberate smile.
Aisha was not surprised, and said very frankly: "That's right, I like Shen Yu, but it's a pity that I'm Denton's fiancΓ©e, and we will get married in another month." β
Wen Qingzhu was puzzled: "How do I feel that Denton and Sister Shu seem to have something?" β
Aisha directly took out the account book: "The princess doesn't need to test me, what I can confirm by myself has been told the truth, as for the matter of Danton, the princess will ask him herself." β
As a result, the ledger was flipped over, Wen Qingzhu's expression was slightly condensed, and he put it down and said, "This price is not very reasonable, right?" β
"We have to feed the people." Aisha's tone became heavy, "The consequences of the war are more serious than imagined, in the past, these internal affairs were managed by my uncle, and we didn't feel anything, but now that we manage it, we know that it is really difficult." β
Aisha's appearance didn't want to fake, Wen Qingzhu felt very strange: "I remember that Sister Shuo didn't bring tens of thousands of catties of grain?" β
"The queen's is the queen's, not our Huns." As soon as Aisha's words came out, Wen Qingzhu didn't feel very good.
She frowned slightly: "Husband and wife are one, this is not the time to calculate this." β
Aisha said solemnly: "The princess may not know, now many people want to be slaves under the queen, because only her subordinates can be fed, in our Huns, the king and the queen are equal, but ...... at present"
With the tendency of queens overpowering kings? Wen Qingzhu sighed in her heart, she naturally knew the customs of the Huns.
What I didn't expect was that the tower was so clearly divided.
Looking down at the ledger in front of him, there are many kinds of grains listed on it, among which the price of coarse grains is low and large, and it seems that other grains are just a foil.
"Yes, but I have one condition, your marriage to Denton will be postponed for three months."
Aisha twisted her eyebrows: "Do you think I will marry Shen Yu?" β
Wen Qingzhu laughed: "He can be in trouble." β
"Money?" Aisha's Chinese is not very familiar, and she keeps knowing the word.
Wen Qingzhu explained: "It is he who marries you and brings you a dowry." β
Aisha suddenly said: "I see. β
After a pause, she suddenly became vigilant: "You are still worried that the queen will be bullied, right?" β
Wen Qingzhu was a little helpless: "She has thousands of soldiers and horses, who would dare to bully her, I just think, since you and Denton don't get along, there is no need to get married, why did you suddenly put marriage on the agenda?" β
After being silent for a while, Aisha said, "Denton seems to like Lu Shu. β
"This is also very good, let Denton marry the Lu family!" Wen Qingzhu almost blurted out.
Aisha instantly wrinkled her eyebrows: "No! Danton is Brother Wang's right-hand man, both civil and military, how can he join your Qi country! β
"Adults really know how to learn and put it into practice." Wen Qingzhu seemed to be a little embarrassed, "If you let Lu Shu marry the Huns, it will be a little difficult." β
Aisha's expression darkened: "It is precisely because I know that it is impossible, so Denton proposes that we get married as soon as possible and have children as soon as possible." β
Seeing that she was not too reluctant, Wen Qingzhu felt a little uncomfortable: "Don't you like Shen Yu?" Why do you want to marry Denton? β
"Because this is a marriage contract suggested by Brother Wang, ordinary women Denton can't look down on it, so I will marry him first, give him two children, and then see if Shen Yu will be rich."
Before Aisha finished speaking, Wen Qingzhu almost squirted out a mouthful of water, and after holding back for a long time, she said, "Then didn't you think that Shen Yu was unwilling?" When you and Denton get married and have children, they get married. β
Aisha said with a strange face: "If you don't want to, you don't want to, I don't have to have a husband." β
This is really good!
Wen Qingzhu sighed secretly in his heart, but he still explained carefully to Aisha: "It is not as easy for us to get married and divorced as you in Qi Kingdom, what Shen Yu wants is-"
"Princess! Don't embarrass you, I don't have to worry about my marriage! Shen Yu suddenly appeared at the door, interrupting their conversation.
He looked at the ledger on his desk and asked, "Can I come in and have a look?" β
Wen Qingzhu nodded, Shen Yu walked in quickly, looked through the account book, and immediately said with a smile: "There is just a batch of old grain over there in Jinzhou to meet your needs." β
"Is that okay for the price?" Aisha was ready to be raised, but Shen Yu came in and directly agreed to her price.
Shen Yu nodded: "That's right, the country of Qi is rich in land and resources, and there will be a large amount of old grain every year, and after the war ends this year, the soldiers will also farm, so adults don't have to worry!" Shen Yu explained simply.
Aisha was amazed: "Your soldiers still have to farm? β
Wen Qingzhu interjected: "When we are not fighting, in order to increase productivity, we will also arrange for soldiers to plant a season of wheat or other food. β
