Chapter 244

After thinking about it for a while, he asked, "do all countries seem to buy war horses from the state of Qi? How did they buy them?"

LAN ruotang waved his hand slightly, "Taoist priest, that's different. First, all countries have their own horse farms. Second, there are checks and balances between countries. If Qi sticks all its war horses in its own hands, I'm afraid it will lead to the disaster of destroying the country. In addition, war horses are the biggest financial resource of Qi and the foundation for Qi to maintain its national strength. Therefore, Qi every year In addition, the state of Qi has strict control. Naturally, the imperial court distributes the quota to its own people. How can it give it to us? "

Niu Youdao said "Oh" and understood this routine. He also wanted to think about the ways of purchasing in various countries. Now, don't even think about it.

Looked up at the hanging map, "is there nothing around recently?"

LAN ruoting: "we and Jinzhou rely on each other and maintain a delicate balance. It's nothing for the time being. However, the development progress of our side has caused uneasiness around us."

Niu Youdao asked, "how do you say it?"

LAN ruoting pointed to the map and explained: "Although the two counties have implemented the new policy and developed rapidly, people with a clear eye know that what they attract is the surrounding financial and human resources. If they absorb the surrounding financial and human resources, they will naturally empty the surrounding areas. Jinzhou is already very dissatisfied with us. In order to maintain the balance, we have taken the initiative to block the inflow of resources in Jinzhou to alleviate Jinzhou's dissatisfaction."

"It's OK in Jinzhou. After all, the real location of the two counties is in the hinterland of Nanzhou. At present, what they really absorb is the resources of Nanzhou, which has created a lot of emptiness in Nanzhou, alarmed Zhou Shouxian and aroused the vigilance of the imperial court. After receiving the news from the capital, Zhou Shouxian has played the imperial court and asked the imperial court to allocate funds to imitate our model to compete."

Niu Youdao frowned: "so, isn't it troublesome? How can the two counties compete with the whole Nanzhou?"

"Otherwise!" Lan ruotang waved his hand and smiled. "Zhou Shouxian has no choice but to protect himself so that he can explain to the court in the future. In fact, Zhou Shouxian himself knows that Nanzhou can't copy our model, and the court won't allocate money to him."

Niu Youdao wondered, "why?"

"The reason is very simple. If the imperial court's money is allocated, the spiritual sects behind Nanzhou will have to stretch out their hands. How many can they really use Nanzhou? In addition, once Nanzhou repeats our model, it will absorb the resources of other states. Can other states agree? I'm afraid the siege on the court will also make Zhou Shouxian feel overwhelmed. In addition, other states will also stretch out their hands to the imperial court In this case, can it be so eccentric to give Nanzhou to other states? There are too many constraints within the imperial court, so it is impossible for the imperial court to allocate funds to Nanzhou. "

"If the imperial court doesn't allocate money, it's impossible for Nanzhou to implement our tax reduction and exemption model. Without tax, the cultivation sects behind it will lose their wealth. Those sects won't agree. Zhou Shouxian can't bear the pressure. If they insist, I'm afraid that Zhou Shouxian's state Shepherd will have to step down in a few days, maybe even lose his life."

"If we want to repeat our model, we must have certain conditions. Let alone others, first of all, the big environment should be allowed. Our two counties are located in a position that depends on each other with Jinzhou of Zhao state. The imperial court dare not move us lightly. If we move, it may make things bigger, so there is room for our development. There are not many princes who can have these conditions. Shao Dengyun's beizhou is one, Taking advantage of the potential of South Korea and the state of Yan, beizhou used both sides to check and 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. Shao Dengyun is not simple. He really didn't see it when he was around ningwang in his early years."

When it comes to beizhou, Niu Youdao can't help glancing at him. It seems that beizhou has also been noticed here. He can't help sighing in his heart. What's shaodengyun? Shao Pingbo, shaodengyun's son, is right!

The emperor of Shang Dynasty stared at the map with bright eyes, "There must also be a bottom line. Once the bottom line that the court can tolerate is broken, the court must sacrifice interests to let other countries contain Zhao and others, and then launch an attack on me. Therefore, the force must keep up as soon as possible. The court will not dare to act rashly unless it is strong enough to make it difficult for the court to bear the losses caused by the use of force. Cavalry is very important, otherwise once the court attacks, the army will rely on two forces You can't run with four legs. If people finish the fight and our reinforcements are still on the road, you can't fight this battle. "

Niu Youdao frowned and walked around, and the problem returned to the war horse.

He now understands why tianyumen is willing to pay for war horses. Firstly, he has money. Secondly, tianyumen must also feel the imminent threat. When tianyumen got the war horses, he must have talked about this problem.

Similarly, this urgent problem also makes Niu Youdao feel threatened. Once Zong of the Shang Dynasty is defeated, he will lose the environment for peace of mind and cultivation.

There's no way to practice at ease. Niu Youdao goes back silently with all his thoughts

North State, Assassin's office.

Shao Pingbo has moved away from Lingbo mansion. After Ruan's mother and son died, he moved back to the assassin mansion.

First, it is convenient to deal with military and political affairs. Second, it is safer to gather the protection personnel on both sides.

Since Niu Youdao made trouble here once, defense and protection have been strengthened.

After Shao Pingbo, who was less constrained, began to deal with military and political affairs, the situation in beizhou was changing vigorously, which shocked the spirit of Dachen mountain.

Dachen mountain sees Shao Pingbo's ability, understands what Shao Pingbo means to Dachen mountain, and has raised the protection measures for Shao Pingbo to the same level as Shao Dengyun.

"Eldest childe, Miss Su is here."

Shao Sansheng entered the study and gave a notice.

Shao Pingbo stopped writing, "please!"

After a while, Su Zhao in a black cloak opened his hat and showed his radiant and charming face.

"It's hard for you to run around again. Cough..." Shao Pingbo stood up and smiled, and immediately clenched his fist and coughed at his mouth.

Su Zhao looked at him and saw that the great childe, who was as rich as jade, was a little haggard, with a few silver threads on his temples, and that he was ill with a cough. He was so sad that he couldn't help frowning: "Why are you still coughing? I told you earlier that your heart and lungs are damaged and you shouldn't bother any more. Let you stop worrying and rest for a while. It's not too late to wait until you're well. If you go on like this, the best panacea can't stand your self mutilation!"

Then Huoran looked back at Shao Sansheng and angrily scolded: "how do you do as a housekeeper? Can't even people take care of you?"

Shao Sansheng was scolded by her and bowed his head. He muttered in his heart, what can I do? The eldest childe takes care of everything every day and even has less time to sleep.

"It's none of his business." Shao Pingbo waved his hand. "In the current situation of beizhou, time doesn't wait, it's really difficult to get rid of it."

Su Zhao glared and said, "if beizhou is away from you, it won't work. I didn't tell you how much a person can do no matter how capable he is. When it's time to let go, let go and learn how to use people, otherwise you'll be tired sooner or later! You can't compare people with yourself. Who can use their strengths without defects? Don't always think that this can't work and that can't work..."

Shao Ping sighed: "I know what you said, but you don't know the situation in beizhou. Yan regarded it as treason and South Korea regarded it as conspiracy. My reputation was successively corrupted by Niu Youdao. In addition, I was sandwiched between the top two and was not valued by others. There were no capable people to vote. There were too few people who could be used in government affairs. I could only recruit some learned people to exercise and hope to pick from them Some people who can play a role must be introduced if you find any available talents in the future. "

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

"Don't say that, I know. Let's get down to business." Shao Pingbo waved and sat down. After serving tea, Fang said, "the current situation in beizhou has disturbed South Korea and Yan. We must improve the deterrent force and make the two countries dare not act rashly, otherwise the two countries will join hands sooner or later, and my efforts will be destroyed. Beizhou is in urgent need of war horses. How's your side?"

Su Zhao: "there is harvest and trouble. The harvest is that the relationship established over the years should be able to raise 50000 war horses for you..."

"Good!" Shao Pingbo's spirit perked up and patted on the armrest of the chair, "50000 are enough!"

Su Zhao shook his head: "Don't be happy too early. It should be no problem to send 50000 war horses out of the state of Qi. The problem is that if you travel a long way and pass through other countries, which country can allow such a large amount of strategic military supplies to flow in vain without greedy? I've considered the way ants move, but you can't keep the horses running all the time from the state of Qi to beizhou. You can't stop and go on the road at least It will take months. It's not hundreds of horses, but tens of thousands of horses. How much manpower, material and financial resources will it cost if we can't concentrate on walking to avoid eye-catching? It's a huge trouble. "

"I've been ready for this. Come and see." Shao Pingbo got up and went to a map. When Su Zhao was close, he pointed to the map and said: "It's unrealistic to transport tens of thousands of war horses at one time, but they can be transported in batches. You see, instead of land, sea, ship, go to sea in the north of Qi, go around to the north of South Korea, and go down the river directly to the big river at the border between beizhou and South Korea. Naturally, it will be delivered to me."

Su Zhao frowned: "South Korea is not blind. Would it allow so many ships to cross the river without searching?"

Shao Pingbo: "since I have been prepared for this, naturally I have taken this into account. Over the years, I have been secretly operating the waterway of South Korea to prepare for this day. As long as the ship comes, I naturally have a way to ensure the smooth passage of the ship. As long as you can send the war horse out of Qi and let the war horse go to sea, I have a way to meet it in South Korea. You don't have to worry about this!"
