It is not an exaggeration to say that Baili Yanxin Hei is really exaggerated, in recent years, the Hongchun profits that Xuanting Hou Fuguang has taken away from the department store is not an exaggeration to say that the total price is not one million silver, seven or eight hundred thousand, which does not count the indirect and marginal profits generated by channel fees and low-cost purchases.

And a feudal monarch has been exploiting for more than ten years, and he can't get a running water of 50,000 silver, Xuanting Houfu easily does not rob, steal, exploit, or squeeze, sits at home and counts the silver, and does not see a penny less.

Baili Yan thought about it, Lord Qiao and Jiang Rong were not the same, Jiang Rong didn't care about money, what she cared about was how to live happily for a few more nights. Lord Qiao cares more about money, obviously with one more powerful lady, the benefits of the Xuanting Marquis Mansion and the interest groups behind it may be less than half a point.

Lan Yuan's mother and daughter cried while walking on the road out of the palace, crying even more, and they were specially selected to have many people and many civil and military officials, so there was no need to publicize it, and all kinds of gossip spread quickly.

However, after leaving the palace and getting in the car, the tears of the mother and daughter were like screwing on the faucet:

"Mother, I won't go back to the Hou Mansion for this daughter."

"It's not good, after all, it's not good to run back to my parents' house." Lan Yuan persuaded.

"It's okay, the swallows are very greedy, and they don't have to wait for their daughters at night. After a few days of drying him, he will have to come to the door and ask his daughter to go back, and you will see the mother. ”

"Having said that, but the limelight is tight at the moment, in case Yan Gongzi goes to Jiangdong in a hurry, what should I do if I really leave you in my mother's house." Lan Yuan said worriedly.

"No, there's Sister Rong. If Yanzi dares to dry her daughter, Sister Rong will take her daughter back. ”

"Oh...... In this way, the mother is relieved. Let your father and Cheng'er talk to him another day, and you must not start this way. ”

Although Jiang Rong and Lord Qiao have their own family interests, they have been well water for more than ten years, and they have been safe and sound.

First, Jiang Rong is tolerant and tolerant, and second, the situation in Guangxin is not good, and the Xuanting Marquis Mansion is definitely not to be offended.

Thirdly, the county lord of Qiao has many eyes and is proficient in the way of management, Jiang Rong is careful and sees far, the two of them are born to look at each other, plus Xiao Er is balanced from it, the three women join forces to make great interests together, and each takes what he needs, so naturally there is no contradiction of sharing the cake on the spot, and the more the share, the smaller the contradiction.

Now Bailiyan has hurt the common interests of Jiang Rong and Lord Qiao, and Jiang Rong can't leave Lord Qiao in her mother's house to fight alone.

After Lan Yuan's mother and daughter left, Bai Liyan became more and more depressed, she had been busy with state affairs and wars for many years, and she rarely took care of the affairs in the backyard, and Jiang Rong had been in charge, but she didn't feel that there was any problem.

Now that the Yongxing Marquis Mansion is in full swing, the family interest groups represented by the female dependents, especially Jiang Rong and Qiao County Lord, have begun to take shape.

Not to mention the Xuanting Houfu for its own use, the sugar merchants, silk merchants, and tea merchants in Dongyuan are now only the Xuanting Houfu Mansion, and the channels and commodities of the department store have greatly promoted the development and circulation of the three major industries, and have formed a bond of interests that cannot be separated, and has the momentum of overpowering the salt owl.

And Guangxin is like a lame leg, the territory is getting bigger and bigger, the economic disk is getting smaller and smaller, and if it is not supported, it will inevitably form a pattern of Xuanting dominating one side in the future.

In addition, after the salt lord represented by Luhou got involved in alkali production, its financial resources rose sharply, but the internal differentiation became increasingly obvious.

The Luhou Salt Lord, led by King Xian, controlled the production of caustic soda and was able to open up another source of wealth. The other faction of salt lords led by the crown prince colluded with the old aristocratic forces of Jiangdong and Suidang, and used the salt industry to seek benefits from the Jin State, and colluded closely with the Jin State.

It took more than ten years of painstaking efforts to eliminate the accumulated evils, implement the new policy and advocate enlightenment, and eliminate and suppress a large number of potential aristocratic harms, but now it is to press down the gourd and float the scoop, eliminate a wave of elites, and a new wave of stronger and more professional upstart forces have sprung up, and it is also a huge interest network that Bailiyan has single-handedly supported.

Now that Fang Bo has entered the court, the struggle between the court is bound to be more fierce in the future, and Bailiyan has to start thinking about the political pattern and economic center of the post-Xianwang era, and at the same time, the crisis is becoming more and more urgent, and the time has reached the point where it cannot be delayed.

In the afternoon of the same day, Bai Liyan drank tea in Gao Xun, an ancient pavilion on the bank of the Fenglin River, and focused on the pacification and relief of the court situation and the newly occupied land.

Changshi is the secretary of the prime minister, and now that the position of the prime minister is vacant, Changshi has become the secretary and close minister of King Xian, and it is a normal procedure for some things to be handled by direct officials without asking for them in person.

Under the system of feudal monarchy, the monarch did not do everything himself, especially in the Bronze Age, when productivity was low and the princes were divided, the things that the monarch needed to care about were far less than those of the dynasty under the centralized imperial system.

It is a commonplace unspoken rule that trivial and trivial government affairs are handled by officials at all levels, according to the instructions of the higher-level officials, in accordance with the existing laws and regulations, and even directly under the jurisdiction of local nobles.

In most cases, the monarch only makes programmatic decisions, and rarely cares about all the details, such as Qin Shi Huang, Yongzheng and other workaholics, who care about everything in every detail, and they have to die of exhaustion.

In the next few days, under Jiang Rong's instigation, there was a cold war in all the rooms of the Hou Mansion, and no one dared to stay overnight in Bailiyan without Jiang Rong's permission.

At the same time, news from all walks of life followed, Shentong went north to Sangnan, soon the grain and grass were cut off, and he was defeated without a fight, and tens of thousands of people in his headquarters fell into a desperate situation and scattered without a fight, and Shentong himself only took a few thousand people to continue to flee westward, and the more he fled, the fewer the troops were, and from time to time he was attacked and harassed by the rout, and the situation was very miserable.

At the same time, Shen Duchi secretly set fire to the middle of the river, burned the crops, and burned millions of acres of winter wheat within a few days, and the attack on Wanchuan was just around the corner.

The situation on the eastern front was reversed, and the rebels everywhere were looking for the wind to surrender, Gongsun Yue stopped continuing to advance westward after receiving an urgent order from Baili Yan, and turned to the defense, but released the news that the Xian army had food to the west, so as to encourage the population to move eastward, and at the same time ordered Huang Che to speed up the transportation of grain to Gongsun Yue's army in order to absorb more people.

After the two armies of Lei Ting and Shengyan broke up at the end of November, at the beginning of December, some of the rebels who could not escape escaped escaped into Yuanshan, Dekang, Ganfu, Shangguan and other counties, either harassing and plundering, or surrendering, causing great hidden dangers, but at the same time, the bad influence on the eldest grandson began to appear.

Suichang, Fangling, Qingtian, Shutian, Sangnan and other counties were in turmoil, military disasters were rampant, bandits were rampant, and natural disasters were encountered, which made the land of the five counties worse.

However, the Changsun Kingdom has always had the vice of being arrogant and arrogant, even when he was too busy to take care of himself, he never mentioned the treacherous deeds of bribing the rebels, and vowed to send troops to attack the Xianguo and seek "justice" to set the record straight.

So since December, the envoy of the eldest grandson has been making a lot of noise in the palace almost every day, without any regard for his ugliness, just like asking for candy for a spoiled child, and under the blessing word in front of your house if he doesn't give candy.

And the arrogant and arrogant face at the beginning also changed, and he accused Xianguo of despicability and shamelessness with righteous words, but there were few real responders, even Ma Zhongning, the envoy of the Jin State, had to pinch his nose and remain silent.

Soon after Bailiyan entered the tomb, Xihuan stepped up the intelligence collection work, and the queen mother's secret letter came twice, the first only said that she tried her best, and the second one was separated by more than half a month, and her tone has changed greatly.

The news that Bailiyan had hit the rebels and burned the grain and grass returned to the Jin State, and the Jin State was shaken by the government and the opposition, and earlier there was news that the Xian State had obtained 50,000 war horses.

On December 20, Zhou Kong and Su Hong led the army to cross the Yongxing River through Ruitian, and Zhou Kong was called to rush to the city at dusk on the twenty-first day, and Bailiyan went out of the south gate to meet him on the official road and entered the city.

"General Zhou's saddle horse has worked hard all the way, and Ben Hou has come to welcome the general into the city."

Zhou Kong was in a hurry, and when he saw Bailiyan with a smile on his face, he was even more angry:

"What is the good way to let General Ben come to Lingling!"

"The king heard the good name of General Zhou and wanted to see General Zhou's demeanor."

Zhou Kong listened to the other voices in the words, and asked busily:

"This general doesn't know him, he doesn't know the general, many new generals, why do you want to see the general first, say, is it you playing some tricks to harm me."

"General Zhou, don't misunderstand." Bai Liyan urged him to immediately approach Zhou Kong, and whispered to her: "I am not the lord of the two-room county in my family, relying on the rich and powerful, saying that the general is ugly, and strongly opposing Benhou marrying the general as his wife, and also sued the king, the king does not allow Benhou to marry you, so I want to see the general." ”

Zhou Kong raised his thick eyebrows when he heard the news, and he was angry.

She can't see anyone backsliding, especially Bailiyan, who is treacherous, she thinks that Bailiyan will either tease her, or regret it, so she moved out of King Xian as a shield.

Thinking of this, Zhou Kong sank his face:

"You are a dignified Marquis of Yongxing, and you can't even control the lady of the two rooms, and you have to ask the permission of King Xian, and the general sees that you are enough for the marquis."

"General Zhou only knows that the man's three wives and four concubines have suffered the woman in order to be happy, where does he know the suffering of the man with three wives and four concubines. My lady Guangxin county lord holds a male soldier in her hand, and the fourth lady Xuanting county lord has a lot of wealth, which is something that I, the marquis of Yongxing, can easily offend. ”

"It turns out that you are not invulnerable and have no weakness!" Zhou Kong said sarcastically, and then said, "Go, enter the city." ”

"Then where are you going to stay tonight, for the sake of safety, you should stay at the inn."

Bailiyan said against his will, so he was difficult. Zhou Kong retorted when he heard the news:

"What do you say, would you be one of those casual people! The dignified husband has a promise, don't you want to drive the general away! ”

"There is no such thing, Ben Hou has a sincere world, isn't this worrying about the lady in my family."

"Hmph, you don't dare."

Zhou Kong's personality should be strong, the greater the external force, the stronger the rebound, give him a shot of strength before entering the city, and then let her clean up the thieves after entering the mansion.

At this time, there are still more than three miles of road from the Lingling, across the city wall, the lights in the night can be seen in the extreme distance, bright as the stars, seeing this grand scene, Zhou Kong and others swept away the previous nervousness, and there was a bit of yearning in their eyes.
