After pondering for a while, he asked again: "It seems that all the countries have purchased war horses from the Qi country, right?

Lan Ruoting waved his hand slightly, "Master Dao, that's different." Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoFirst of all, countries have some of their own horse farms, and secondly, between countries, check and balance each other, if Qi is stuck in their own hands, I am afraid that it will invite the disaster of destroying the country, and the countries will definitely join forces to besiege, plus the war horse is the biggest financial road of Qi State, and it is also the foundation of Qi State to maintain national strength, so Qi State will release a certain quota to sell to countries every year, which can basically ensure that the old and weak horses of all countries are eliminated, in addition to the strict control of Qi State. And the quota allocated to Yan Guo, the imperial court naturally allocates it to its own people, how can it be given to us?"

Niu Youdao said "oh", understood this routine, and he also wanted to think about the way of procurement by various countries, but now it seems that he can't even think about it.

Looking up at the hanging map, "Nothing has happened around lately, right?"

Lan Ruoting: "Our side and Jinzhou rely on each other, maintaining a delicate balance, and there is nothing to do for the time being." However, the development progress of our side still caused some uneasiness in the surrounding area. ”

Niu Youdao asked: "How to say?"

Lan Ruoting pointed to the map and explained: "Although the two counties have implemented the new policy and developed rapidly, anyone with a discerning eye knows that it is the surrounding financial and human resources that are attracted, and if the surrounding financial resources and manpower are absorbed, they will naturally empty the surrounding areas." In order to maintain the balance and not be broken, our side took the initiative to block the inflow of resources from the Golden State side to alleviate the dissatisfaction of the Golden State. ”

"It's okay over there in Jinzhou, after all, the real location of the two counties is in the hinterland of Nanzhou, and what is really absorbing is the resources of Nanzhou, which has caused the emptiness of many places in Nanzhou, which made Zhou Shouxian panic and aroused the vigilance of the imperial court. After receiving the news from the capital, Zhou Shouxian has already played the imperial court, asking the imperial court to allocate funds, and is ready to imitate the model of our side to contend with. ”

Niu Youdao frowned: "In this way, wouldn't it be troublesome?

"Otherwise!" Lan Ruoting waved his hand and smiled, "Zhou Shouxian also has no choice, he is just using this to protect himself, in case he has an explanation for the court in the future." In fact, Zhou Shouxian himself knew in his heart that Nanzhou could not copy our model, and the imperial court would not allocate funds to him. ”

Niu Youdao wondered, "Why?"

"The reason is very simple, the money of the imperial court is allocated, and the cultivation sect behind Nanzhou will inevitably reach out, and how much can really be used on Nanzhou? In addition, if other states also extended their hands to the imperial court, if they gave Nanzhou but not other states, could they be so partial? There were too many constraints within the imperial court, so it was impossible for the imperial court to allocate funds to Nanzhou. ”

"The imperial court does not allocate money, it is impossible for Nanzhou to implement our model of tax reduction and exemption, without taxes, the cultivation sects behind it will be cut off from the financial route, those sects will not agree, Zhou Shouxian can't bear the pressure, if he does it hard, I'm afraid that Zhou Shouxian's state pastor will have to step down in a few days, maybe even his life will have to be lost." ”

"If you want to repeat our model, you must occupy certain conditions, not to mention the rest, first of all, the general environment must allow. The location of our two counties is dependent on each other with Zhao State and Jinzhou, and the imperial court does not dare to move us easily, and it is possible to make things bigger if we move, so we have room for development. There are not many princes who can have this condition, and Shao Dengyun's Beizhou is counted as one, and Beizhou took advantage of the power of Korea and Yan to use the two sides to balance each other and offset the threat, so that he could breathe in the middle. ”

"Now the development model of Beizhou is actually similar to ours, this Shao Dengyun is not simple, when he was by King Ning's side in the early years, he really didn't see it. ”

Speaking of Beizhou, Niu Youdao couldn't help but glance at him, it seemed that he had also noticed Beizhou here, and he couldn't help but sigh secretly in his heart, what Shao Dengyun is not simple, it is Shao Dengyun's son Shao Pingbo!

Shang Chaozong stared at the map with blazing eyes, "This also has to have a bottom line, once the bottom line that the imperial court can tolerate, the imperial court will inevitably sacrifice its interests to let other countries contain Zhao and others, and then brazenly attack me." Therefore, the armed forces must keep up as soon as possible, and only when they are so strong that it is difficult for the imperial court to bear the losses caused by the use of force, will the imperial court not dare to act rashly. The cavalry is very important, otherwise once the imperial court attacks, the army will not be able to run on four legs on two legs, and if the people are finished fighting, our reinforcements are still on the way, there is no way to fight this battle. ”

Niu Youdao frowned, went around in a circle, and the problem returned to the war horse.

He now understands why Tianyumen is willing to pay for war horses, first of all, he has money in his hands, and secondly, Tianyumen must have also felt this imminent threat, and he must have talked about this problem when he asked Tianyumen to get war horses.

Similarly, this imminent problem also made Niu Youdao feel threatened, once the Shang Dynasty Sect was defeated, he would also lose this safe cultivation environment.

There is no way to cultivate with peace of mind, Niu Youdao went back silently with a stomach full of thoughts......

North State, Thorn History.

Shao Pingbo had already moved out of Lingbo Mansion, and after the death of Ruan's mother and son, he moved back to the Assassin's Mansion.

First of all, it is convenient to deal with military and political affairs, and secondly, it is safer to concentrate the manpower of protection on both sides.

Since Niu Youdao was troubled here, the defense has been strengthened.

After Shao Pingbo, who was less restrained, began to let go of military and political affairs, the situation in Beizhou can be said to be changing vigorously, which lifted the spirit of Dachan Mountain.

Dachan Mountain saw Shao Pingbo's ability, understood what Shao Pingbo meant to Dachan Mountain, and raised the protection measures for Shao Pingbo to the same level as Shao Dengyun.

"Eldest son, Miss Su is here. ”

Shao Sansheng entered the study and announced.

Shao Pingbo put down his pen, "Please!"

After a while, Su Zhao, who was wearing a black cloak, entered and lifted his hat, revealing a radiant and charming face.

"It's hard work to make you run around again. Ahem..."Shao Pingbo stood up and laughed, then clenched his fists and coughed again.

Su Zhao looked at him, and saw that this eldest son who was as rich as jade was a little haggard, and a few silver threads were added to his temples, and he saw that he was coughing, which made people sad, and couldn't help frowning: "Why are you still coughing?" I told you a long time ago, your heart and lungs are damaged, and it is not appropriate to work anymore, so you don't waste your mind, rest in peace for a while, and it's not too late to talk about anything when your body is better." If you go on like this, no amount of panacea will be able to prevent you from harming yourself!"

Then Huo Ran looked back at Shao Sansheng and scolded angrily: "What do you do as a housekeeper, don't you even know how to take care of people?"

Shao Sanxing bowed his head when he was scolded by her, and muttered in his heart, what can I do, the eldest prince has a lot of opportunities, and he doesn't even have time to sleep.

"It's none of his business. Shao Pingbo waved his hand, "The current situation in Beizhou, time waits for no one, and it is really difficult to get rid of it." ”

Su Zhao glared and said: "Beizhou can't turn around without you? It's not that I said you, no matter how strong a person's ability is, how much can he do? When it's time to let go, you must let go, and you must learn to use people, otherwise if you go on like this, sooner or later you will be tired to death! You, you can't compare people with yourself, who can have no flaws, use people to their strengths, don't always feel that this is not good, that is not good..."

Shao Pingbo sighed: "I know what you said, but you are not unclear about the situation in Beizhou, Yan is regarded as treason, South Korea is regarded as a bad plot, and my reputation has been corrupted one after another by that Niu Youdao, plus I am sandwiched between the two powerhouses, and I am not favored, how can there be any capable people to vote, there are too few people who can be used in government affairs, I can only recruit some well-educated people to put down and exercise, hoping to pick out some people who can play a party from among them, and what available talents you find in the future must be introduced." ”

Su Zhao really didn't know what to say about him, but he was distressed to see him like this.

"Don't talk about it, I know it in my heart. Let's get down to business. Shao Pingbo waved his hand and sat down, and after serving tea, Fang said: "The current situation in Beizhou has made South Korea and Yan uneasy, and the deterrent force must be improved, so that the two countries dare not act rashly, otherwise the two countries will join forces sooner or later to deal with it, and my hard work will be ruined." Beizhou is in urgent need of war horses, how are you doing there?"

Su Zhao: "There are gains, there are troubles, the harvest is that the relationship that has been opened up over the years, if you operate it, you should be able to raise 50,000 war horses for you..."

"Okay!" Shao Pingbo perked up and slapped the arm of the chair, "Fifty thousand horses are enough!"

Su Zhao shook his head: "Don't be too happy, 50,000 war horses should be no problem to send out of Qi country, the problem is a long journey, passing through other countries, which country can let such a large amount of strategic military needs flow through in vain without being greedy? This is not a few hundred, but tens of thousands of horses, and it is not enough to walk in a concentrated way to avoid attracting attention, and how much manpower, material and financial resources will be consumed? This is a huge trouble. ”

"I've been prepared for this, you can come and see. Shao Pingbo got up, walked to a map, waited for Su Zhao to get close, pointed to the map and said: "It is not realistic to transport tens of thousands of war horses at one time, but they can be transported in batches." You see, instead of taking the land route, taking the sea route, transporting it by boat, going to the sea in the north of Qi country, going around to the north of Korea, and going down the river from this river, you can go directly to the big river at the junction of Beizhou and South Korea, and naturally it was sent to me. ”

Su Zhao frowned: "South Korea is not blind here, how can it let so many ships cross the river without searching?"

Shao Pingbo: "Since I have been prepared, I have naturally taken this into account, all these years, I have been secretly operating the waterway in South Korea, just to prepare for this day, as long as the ship comes, I naturally have a way to ensure that the ship is unimpeded." As long as you can find a way to send the war horse out of Qi and let the war horse go to sea, I will have a way to pick it up on the Korean side, and you don't need to worry about that!"
