Seeing that Bailiyan avoided talking about sensitive content, Gongliang Xiu Dragonfly drank two sips of liquor and said:

"In the past two years, the Xianguo new currency has flowed into the Zhiguo country and is very popular with businessmen, and my king is considering also casting gold and silver treasures, but the craftsmen imitate it, but the color is far inferior to the Xianguo new coin, I wonder if Yongxing Hou can teach a lesson or two?"

"King Zhi won't also learn from the Jin Kingdom, take the Xianguo new coins and return to the furnace to refine and think of gold and silver."

"Yongxing Hou don't misunderstand, my king has countless treasures, how can he spend a lot of money on the gold and silver of the new coin. And I heard that in order to refine new coins and gold and silver, the Jin Kingdom also lost the capital, but is there such a thing? ”

"It is true, and Ben Hou can also tell the Gongliang doctor that in the future, other countries will use gold and silver to cast copper coins, and Ben Hou can also refine the gold and silver, and the cost of fire consumption is very low. Therefore, if other countries mint copper coins with gold and silver on another day, there will only be fewer and fewer in the end, and more and more of our country. ”

"And this thing!" Gongliang Xiu was taken aback, and unexpectedly fell into the trap of Baili Yan.

Gongliangxiu knew very well that if the precious metals in the gold and silver coins minted in copper coins could be extracted far below the value of the currency, and then used to mint their own currency, the final result would be that the Xianguo currency would completely occupy the Central Plains coin market, and at the same time, an astonishing amount of gold and silver could be extracted.

In other words, if the Gongliang clan can obtain this method, they can also secretly accumulate strength. And what Bai Liyan wants is for Gongliang Xiu to think here, and Gongliang Xiu also knows very well that Bai Liyan is not throwing out this topic now, not out of good intentions, it is obvious that Bai Liyan will not easily tell him the method of refining money.

After thinking for a moment, Gongliang Xiu said tentatively:

"It's good business."

"What, Dr. Gongliang also wants a piece of the pie?"

"The treasures of the year have been divided, does Master Hou still mind such a business?"

"Hehe......" Bai Liyan smiled lightly, and then said: "You and I are friends in trouble, as long as the good and virtuous brother has what he needs, this little help, Ben Hou can still do it." ”

"Well, it's a deal!"

"It's a deal!"

Gongliangxiu still did not mention the rebellion, but everything was in preparation for the rebellion.

Eating hot pot and shabu cattle and sheep, the wine is fragrant, and the content of the conversation gradually enters the deep water.

The news that the King of Jin was about to pass through Chenling to go to the Changsun National League, Gongliangxiu had already heard about it, but what could really be counted to the level of Zong Botai and Zhao Anling, Bailiyan didn't do it, Tao Yong and others naturally couldn't do it, but Gongliangxiu did it.

"Yongxing Hou, this time King Xian sold 400,000 catties of pig iron, 200,000 catties of steel ingots, 50,000 pieces of steel blades, 200,000 pieces of cotton cloth, 100,000 catties of soap, and porcelain glass to my king at a very low price, it won't be really King Xian's generosity."

"Naturally, my king shows his sincerity in order to make a good ambition to the country, what's wrong."

"Hehe, if it is a show of goodwill, why bother to escort the navy of my Zhiguo, why doesn't the king of Xian send the navy to escort me to my territory."

"Don't hide it from the good brothers, our navy is no longer glorious now, only 5,000 people, and I have to patrol and protect the transportation in various places, so I can only bother the Zhiguo navy to do it for me."

"No, I heard that the King of Jin wants to borrow the Dao Ling, and go to the Changsun National Alliance through Beihai County, I'm afraid it's not so easy."

"Eh, borrowing the way is borrowing the way, and when he can still meet the princes of the world, he will destroy our country. At most, it is to play prestige in front of my king, and to grow his own ambition. ”

"Hehe..."Gongliang Xiu sneered, put down the chopsticks in his hand, changed his position and approached Bailiyan, looked back and forth for a long time and said, "You don't hide it from me, but King Zhi wants to force the alliance under the city of King Xian?" ”

Bailiyan pretended to be surprised:

"Gongliang Doctor Hugh is talking nonsense, how can the King of Jin force the alliance under my city, not to mention that Xianguo is the alliance of the Jin State, how can there be any more forced alliance, wouldn't it be laughed at by the people of the world."

"Not necessarily. This time, King Xian and Tao Ji are secret deals, if my expectations are good, it must be the King of Jin who is fighting Yongxing City. ”

"No way, no way." Bai Liyan categorically denied: "Yongxing City is inland, and his Jin army occupies this place, so why not be surrounded by my lions." ”

"Also hide from me, the Xianguo naval army has been useless, Yongxing City is close to the Yongxing River, the King of Jin only needs to promise the benefits of Changsun Kingdom, Changsun Kingdom will send warships from the North Sea into the inland waterway into the Yongxing River, at that time the two countries will be attacked by land and water, grain, grass and food and clothing are worry-free, can advance and retreat, plus Changsun Country artillery is powerful, Xianguo has no Yongxing City, no amount of iron can not make artillery.

If my prediction is correct, the king of Jin passed through the tomb in the name of going to the Changsun Alliance, and he must have made a secret agreement with the eldest grandson, and the place of the alliance was chosen in Xianguo, and the Jin State used the northern army to advance westward as a bait, so that the Changsun State promised to change the alliance to Xianguo, so it was justified for the Jin State to ask for Yongxing City.

Therefore, you colluded with the King of Xian, in the name of a huge amount of goods, and took advantage of the delay in the transmission of information to lead the sailors of our Zhijun to enter Yongxing City during the alliance, creating the illusion that our Zhiguo supported the Xianguo, so as to block the Jin Kingdom. It's really a good plan, I really think that no one in the world can know. ”

Gongliang Xiu is said to be the head of the Tao, Bailiyan pretended to cover up and said:

"Gongliang and virtuous brother are really kind-hearted, my king's scheming has been seen through by the virtuous brother, so he must not be able to hide it from Tao Da Sima."

"Hmph, Yan Gongzi knows that Tao Yanyan can guess the mystery. Hurry up, you Xianguo Yongxing City Iron Production is at the bottom, I think King Jin will never make such a big move for the sake of petty profits. Moreover, this time the raw wrought iron totaled 600,000 catties, and Xianguo was able to produce iron again, and it could save such a huge amount in just a few years. Moreover, in the past, the transactions between Xianguo and my Zhiguo were all secret transactions, and it was difficult for the outside world to know the amount, so I am afraid that there are a lot of iron products in Xianguo.

Let's say, Yongxing City Iron Production is at the bottom. ”

Bai Liyan's face was pale, and he said:

"This is the core secret of our Xian country, how can I tell outsiders."

"Then Yan Gongzi is not afraid to inform my king of this plan in the future?"

Bai Liyan pretended to compromise and said:

"Alas...... You don't believe it. ”

"With the ability of Yan Gongzi, Yongxing City's iron production is less than 500,000 catties, is there any?" Gongliangxiu asked.

"It's no secret, Yongxing City's iron production reached as much as 1.3 million catties at the end of last year, and more this year."

"What!" Gongliang Xiu stared in shock, stunned for a long time at a loss.

Seeing that he was surprised, Bai Liyan didn't understand and said:

"I know that the good brother will not believe it."

Gongliang Xiu hurriedly said:

"Yan Gongzi is serious?"

"Of course it's true, it's hard to be fake. 600,000 catties of raw wrought iron, with the power of your country, you can't save it for ten years. ”

"So, King Jin has found out the secret of Yongxing?"

"No, I didn't. However, Xihuan's secret agents are everywhere, and Ben Hou has tried his best to hide 1.3 million catties of iron production. Therefore, I think that most of the Jin Kingdom guessed that my Yongxing City iron production was three or four hundred thousand catties, which was twice as much, so I was greedy and wanted to take it. ”

"Since the king of Jin has the heart of forcible seizure, he will be heavy-handed, how can it be that my Zhiguo naval army can suppress it. Yan Gongzi shouldn't just lead my water army, but there are other helpers? ”

"Of course, how can we pin all our hopes on Zhijun, naturally we have to take a multi-pronged approach. However, the stakes are very high, and I forgive Benhou for not telling the truth. ”

"If you don't say it, I think you Yan Gongzi must have another way to break this difficult situation."

"Don't be busy shirking it yet, Ben Hou has another thing to ask for."

Gongliang Xiu's eyes lit up when he heard the news, and he was busy sarcastically:

"Yan Gongzi can also have a time to ask for someone?"

"Eh, no one is perfect, how can Ben Hou be all-encompassing."

"Tell me, what?"

"After the virtuous brother returns to Zhiguo, before the alliance, the news of Yongxing City's iron production of 1.3 million jin can be leaked to Xu, Wei and other countries."

Gongliangxiu saw through Bailiyan's strategy at a glance, and did not shy away from making noise:

"I see, Yongxing Hou wants to make a big move, so that King Jin will not dare to act rashly."

"Those who know me, the virtuous brother, in fact, this matter is also profitable for the Gongliang clan."

"Oh, what a benefit, how can I not see it below?"

"Tao Yong is far from being counted in the city of Xiandi, so he easily agreed to my king to send a naval army to Yongxing City to receive goods, but afterwards King Zhi learned the news that the Zhi army was used by my Xianguo, and he must be suspected of helping me in it, so this time King Zhi sent a naval army to receive the goods, Brother Gongliang should do the opposite, and vigorously oppose Tao Yong, and afterwards Tao Yong fell into a trap, and your Gongliang's loyalty can not be seen by the sun and the moon?"

Bai Liyan patted Gongliangxiu on the shoulder and said, with meaning in his eyes, Gongliangxiu laughed and said:

"Hehaha, Yan Gongzi is a good man in the city......"

"Brother Than, Ben Hou is ashamed of himself, come, continue to ......"

In terms of scheming, Gongliang Xiu is better than Bailiyan by one or even two, if there is no help from Zhao Anling and Zong Botai, Gongliang Xiu alone can turn the princes and countries around. If he does not die ten years later, there will be no suspense for the Gongliang clan to stand on its own, and neither the Zhi King nor the Tao clan will be his opponents.

Moreover, Gongliangxiu's elder brother Gongliangchen is still an all-rounder with excellent martial arts and martial arts, even if his ability is equal to Bailiyan, Zhiwang and Tao are not his opponents.

In the final analysis, it was Li Lingzhi who was blinded by interests, it was the Tao family's eagerness to seize power and secretly instigated, and King Zhi only thought about the private treasures of the Gongliang clan, but he didn't want to think about the fact that the Gongliang clan had not rebelled for decades with heavy troops, and the treasures accumulated in the hands of the family were still small, where could the family be in danger and ignore the interests of the country for the sake of treasure.

Tao Yong and King Xian had secret talks for two days, until the end of December to finalize the agreement, King Xian sent a promise to go to Zhiguo with Tao Yong's cronies, and handed over the secret agreement to King Zhi, only to wait for both sides to sign the secret agreement, this secret agreement took effect immediately.

According to the customs and practices of the Central Plains, the New Year is not on the 30th day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, but on the first day of the first lunar month. On the contrary, the Chinese New Year's Eve has a habit similar to *** teaching Ramadan, which is called the New Year Pass in the original era.

On the thirtieth day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, you can not eat, only eat water and rice soup to satisfy your stomach, to taste the hardships of the turn of the year, and stay until the first day of the first month to eat and drink the sea.

Of course, for ordinary people, they don't eat for a day or two, but for the powerful, they will be hungry and panic if they don't eat a meal, and the custom of "keeping the New Year" is still very necessary.
