Chapter 10021 Catch a turtle in an urn!
Paying attention to whether the young Yingjie is fake, thinking about how to kill himself is true, he said things against his heart seriously, his official position was promoted, and his face became thicker and thicker.
It is so difficult for the Li family and the Chen family to come to this point, and some lies should not be debunked.
Seeing that he was willing to be the face of this assassin to share his worries, Li Yi decided to save some face for him.
Chen Chong didn't continue the topic anymore, sat down opposite him, and asked, "Your purpose this time is the King of Shu?" ”
Li Yi shook his head and said, "You can say the opposite, it should be the purpose of the King of Shu." ”
"The result is the same." Chen Chong looked at him and said: "They want to attack Yongxian, the purpose is you, your purpose is also them, and the traitors they planted in Shuzhou, they are not your opponents, but if the two sides start to fight, the first to suffer is the people of Yongxian, and you choose to be at the end of the year, if you can't control it, something big will happen." ”
"Catching turtles in urns, closing the door and beating dogs, what big deal can be?"
"Catch turtles in urns, close the door and beat dogs?" Chen Chong looked at him, shook his head and said, "Since you have already made arrangements, I won't say more." ”
He changed the subject and said: "Regarding the lifting of the curfew, the opening of commerce, the attraction of businessmen from the two countries to live in the country, the reduction of tariffs, and the reduction of some agricultural taxes, there are still some details that need to be discussed before they are officially implemented......
……
"One hundred thousand taels?" Fang Yu looked at the purple-clothed man, frowned and asked, "Did they really say that?" ”
They can take out 100,000 taels, but this money is not a small amount for them, the Holy Sect needs silver to expand its followers and plan an action, although if this operation is successful, he can earn it back with interest, but now he needs to think about it well if he goes out 100,000 taels at once.
The purple-clothed envoy nodded and said, "Yes, they said that 100,000 taels of silver should not be less, otherwise, our sincerity is not enough, and there is no need to talk about cooperation anymore......
Fang Yu hesitated, and a voice came from the side.
The King of Shu came over and said disapprerovingly: "Isn't it just 100,000 taels of silver, they will give it to them if they want, then Li Yi is rich, and after the matter is completed, there will be ten times and a hundred times the reward, ......what are you worried about?"
Fang Yu pondered for a moment, gritted his teeth and said, "Then give them 100,000 taels......
He looked down again, a trace of doubt appeared on his face, and muttered: "Why can't two hundred and fifty people, two hundred and sixty people can't do it, and ten more people are just that, is there a difference?" ”
"It's just ten people, it doesn't matter if there are more or less, don't care about these details......" King Shu shook his head and asked, "What else did they say?" ”
Fang Yu continued to look down and said, "They said that they should choose to start at the time of the New Year's Festival, at that time, the other party's vigilance was not high, and it was the easiest to get it, and they also found the most hidden and safe route......
"That's a good idea." The King of Shu nodded and said, "Those bald heads are not stupid, we also just took advantage of this time to prepare well, and show me the route......
Fang Yu handed him a marked map.
The King of Shu looked at it, nodded and said: "Yes, take this road, almost all the way is in the mountains, there is no way through the village, although it is a little difficult, but it is hidden enough, out of the mountain is directly opposite the West City Gate, the West City Gate is the most dilapidated, and the guard force is also the weakest, if someone should join forces inside, open the city gate in advance, we can drive straight into the ......"
Seeing this, the King of Shu slapped the table violently and said with a smile: "These bald heads know a lot about the armament of Yongxian County, and it seems that they are not looking for the wrong person!" ”
Behind him, a man nodded approvingly.
In the two days before the New Year's Festival, everyone was preparing for the New Year, and even the guards guarding the city were also absent-minded, which was the time when vigilance was at its lowest......
Even His Royal Highness the King of Shu praised the route chosen, and he couldn't be wrong when he thought about it.
Those bald heads are really worthy of reading the bandits, they are thoughtful, insightful, and very caring and thoughtful......
……
Shuzhou is the last populated place in the west of Jingguo.
In the hearts of the people of Jingguo, Shuzhou represents remoteness and poverty, because it is located at the junction of Jingguo and Qi, people who don't know Shuzhou will always feel unstable living here, as if Qi will call at any time.
In fact, this is completely unfounded.
Shuzhou is adjacent to the land of chaos, the mountains are infinite, even though it borders the Qi country, but if the Qi country wants to use this place as a breakthrough to attack Jingguo, the inconvenient transportation can drag the entire army down.
This is also the reason why although Shuzhou and Qi are adjacent to each other, for decades, there have only been bandits and no military disasters.
It is precisely for this reason that the city wall of Shuzhou does not need to be built as high or thick as it is, two zhang high is enough, and the government will not use extra money to repair the city wall, because it is completely unnecessary.
Yongxian, west city wall.
The city wall in the west of Yongxian County is already very dilapidated, of course, this is only from the outside, the city wall is rammed layer by layer with black soil or loess, it is still very strong and durable.
The old man didn't understand what his uncle was doing here with him today, this place was dilapidated, except for the mottled city walls and low houses, there was nothing to see, let alone anything fun.
Li Yi picked up a branch and wrote and drew on the ground.
Lao Fang looked at it for a while, and finally couldn't help asking, "Uncle, what are you painting?" ”
Li Yi pointed around and said, "You say, how about building a few shops here?" ”
The old man looked left and right, and then he understood what Li Yi was drawing, and then squatted down carefully to look at it, shook his head and said: "Even if you want to open a shop and build a workshop, there is no need to build a house as high as the city wall, and besides, these shops are surrounded in a circle, which looks like an urn, and it is not good-looking......
Li Yi threw away the branch and said: "You don't understand, this is called a business district, a business district, a business district, you can't form a circle......"
My uncle is rich, so he can toss it no matter what, he doesn't care, and asks casually: "When will it be built, I'll arrange manpower." ”
"It starts now, it must be completed within three months, and the store will open during the New Year."
The old man was surprised: "So urgent? ”
"Difficult?"
"It's not that difficult." Lao Fang shook his head and said, "Just find more people and spend more money, I'll arrange it, and within two months, I will ensure that the task is completed." ”
Li Yi nodded and said, "It's okay to spend more money, just finish it early." ”
"It's good if you're happy......"
Lao Fang shook his head, he didn't know what a business district was, but he was sure that his uncle only knew some miscellaneous art of war, and he didn't know what Wengcheng was at all.
Urn City, as the name suggests------ is a city like an urn.
A small city was built in a circle around the city gates, built as high as the city walls, and only those important cities did this, so that when a strong enemy invaded, as long as the two gates were closed, the enemy could be trapped, forming a "turtle in the urn......
When the time comes, whether to choose to ambush soldiers in the city, or let the archers put cold arrows on the city walls, pour boiling oil, and throw stones, it all depends on the mood......
Shuzhou is not a strategic place, what is my uncle doing with so much effort to build an urn city, is he still worried that the Qi army will cross the mountains and mountains and attack from here?
There is an urn, but there are no turtles......
