Guan Fangyi appeared beside him, "is there a war?"

Niu Youdao: "For the current strength of tianyumen, it's hard to eat Nanzhou, but as long as we win Nanzhou, the cultivation sect of tianyumen will enter another level. Peng Youzai will become the most influential leader in the history of tianyumen. Unless his successor has greater success, it's hard to deny Peng Youzai's achievements. Nanzhou may be occupied by the descendants of Peng's family for a long time, For Peng Youzai, it is imperative to give consideration to both public and private affairs! For the Shang Dynasty, Nanzhou is a necessary springboard for strength expansion and stepping onto a bigger stage. Tianyumen can't help it, and so can the Shang Dynasty. "

Guan Fangyi sighed, "with the war, some people can do what they want, but I don't know how many people are going to break their families and die."

"In this troubled world, sigh that this is meaningless. Go and have a look." Niu Youdao raised his finger and pointed to the direction of the craftsman's camp. They floated down the mountain together.

At the foot of the mountain, he met Yuan Feng and others riding horses. Niu Youdao stretched out his hand to stop them and asked for two mounts.

Now the emperor of the Shang Dynasty has a large number of war horses on hand, and hundreds of horses are reserved for the people here. It is just right for Yuan Gang and others. They take the initiative to take care of them, and their staff run in on the horse for a long time.

When they turned over and got on the horse, Niu Youdao took a look at yuandahu and Gu for years. He didn't ask about the two old men who lacked arms and legs, since they were brought by Yuan Gang.

He and Guan Fangyi just found a walking tool without galloping. They rode slowly out of the valley.

Guan Fangyi's skirt is floating, her hand-held round fan is on horseback, and her eyes look left and right, natural and unrestrained.

When they arrived at the craftsman's camp, the horse was thrown to the guard. The two people went inside to visit. They saw bundles of knives and guns smeared with oil and rust, and bundles of war armour, which were being loaded and escorted out one after another.

The air smelled of fireworks, and carpenters were assembling riprap carts for the siege.

Bang! The sudden noise from behind the mountain attracted two people to go and have a look.

After arriving at the mountain, I saw a row of siege crossbows arranged. The craftsman was testing. A refined steel spear was put into the shooting slot. Several people worked together to pull the pedal and put it on the string. As a craftsman waved a wooden mallet and smashed the machine spring, the spear roared out in an instant, hitting the shooting point painted with paint on the opposite stone wall.

The gravel fell, and the trembling spear was inserted into the stone wall, which was really powerful.

Guan Fangyi's eyelids jumped and said, "when the army is fighting, this thing poses the greatest threat to friars. Friars with accomplishments below the golden elixir can't carry it at all."

……

Yanjing, the same flavor of the new year is getting stronger and stronger. Whether it is poor or rich, it will pass the new year.

Zhou Shouxian, the governor of Nanzhou Prefecture, knelt down, his forehead on the ground and sobbed at the big Sikong child Mo sitting behind the case.

The car pulled the horse and pulled the gift to send the new year. When it comes to the sad place, I can't help crying.

Tong Mo sighed, "brother Zhou, not so. Get up quickly."

Zhou Shouxian looked up, choked, and pointed to the door. "Xiangye, the five counties in Nanzhou, has been preparing for a long time. He has hoarded a large number of grain, grass and swords. He has been preparing all day. The knife has been sharpened and the arrow is on the string. He is ready to wave his troops north to annex Nanzhou. The lower officials are trembling and walking on thin ice all day. If the imperial court doesn't send troops for reinforcements, it's too late to regret!"

There is no way to get here. Before coming here, I went to the Imperial Palace and begged the emperor. However, the emperor was obviously afraid that the war would cause civil strife in the state of Yan and would be taken advantage of by foreign enemies. At that time, the whole state of Yan was in danger and had been hesitant.

His daughter is the emperor's favorite imperial concubine. He can become a pastor in Nanzhou, and his daughter has also made a lot of efforts. However, this time, his daughter has repeatedly persuaded the emperor to send troops for him, which has angered the emperor and failed to see the emperor for many days.

For him, the current position of Nanzhou animal husbandry is to roast him on the fire.

Tong Mo knew that the situation was critical, but he comforted: "brother Zhou, it's not as serious as you think. There are Xiaoyao palace, Zijin cave and Lingjian mountain. The lower five counties of Nanzhou dare not act rashly."

Zhou Shouxian: "if you make heavy profits, the three factions may not let go!"

Tong Mo: "don't worry, neither I nor your majesty will sit idly by. I will communicate with the three factions."

……

Yunshan Wuhai Xiaoyao palace looks like a fairyland from a distance.

At the foot of Xiaoyao palace mountain, dozens of riders galloped out of the valley, ran up the official road and went all the way.

This line is the people of Zhenling courtyard and Feihua Pavilion, the two major sects behind Nanzhou. The new year is approaching, and it is the gateway to pay tribute to Xiaoyao palace. Jin Wuguang, the leader of Zhenling courtyard, and Cao yu'er, the leader of Feihua Pavilion, personally led people to offer a confession.

There's no way. Xiaoyao palace, Zijin cave and Lingjian mountain are the three largest sects in the whole state of Yan. These three sects are shrouded in the sky of the state of Yan. The state of Yan is the sphere of influence of these three sects. All the spiritual sects in the state of Yan make a living within the sphere of influence of these three sects. It's impossible to sit on one side without the permission of these three sects.

All the sects in the territory of Yan should pay tribute to the three sects, otherwise they will be worried about extermination.

Not only the state of Yan, this is basically the case in the seven countries. There are several such strong sects in each country. They have a place in the ethereal Pavilion and enjoy the worship of other sects in the country.

Some sects are not qualified to pay tribute to the three sects, such as Liuxian sect.

On top of the forces similar to the three factions, there are the nine supremacies.

The nine Supreme masters are really above all sentient beings. The nine Supreme masters do not accept anyone's sacrifice or favor, but control all the banks in the world. There is only one bank in the world, called Tianxia bank, which is spread all over the world, across the secular and spiritual circles.

Except for the world bank, no other bank is allowed in the world.

For example, the gold tickets commonly used in the world are also jointly printed by the nine Supreme leaders, and other money tickets are not allowed to appear.

I'm afraid the people who are most in need of money in the world are the nine supremacies. There's no way. People can print money directly and control the money flow of people all over the world.

And the places where the practitioners can do business are also under the control of the nine Supreme masters

When the people who came to Zhenling courtyard and Feihua Pavilion went away, another group of people appeared in the nearby mountain forest. It was the tianyumen disciples who avoided hiding for a while.

Peng stared at the direction of the two people, waved his hand, led the disciples to break into the opposite mountain and went straight to Xiaoyao palace

The yuyuqiong tower, with its colorful flowers, is a beautiful place to entertain guests.

Two elders of Xiaoyao palace accompanied the palace leader long Xiu. Peng youyou was the only guest. Other tianyumen disciples are not qualified to come here.

It was also because Peng came to offer a confession that the three met. At the end of the new year, leaders of all factions gathered to visit. Long Xiu appeared at the regular meeting to meet leaders of all factions and ask about local conditions.

Peng gave a stack of gold tickets in his hands and put them on the table of two elders sitting side by side. Then he returned to the opposite place and sat down.

The eyes of long Xiu and the two elders fell on the stack of gold tickets. According to the rules, a county should pay 50000 gold coins.

Fifty thousand say more or less. More or less, for Xiaoyao palace, 50000 gold coins are really nothing. That's a lot less, because 50000 gold coins are not small for the financial resources of a county. After all, there are people's livelihood to take into account in each county. If it's dry, where will it be squeezed in the future?

Besides, the local forces and sects should also share the benefits. It can't be said that the Xiaoyao palace alone.

What's more, each county pays more than Xiaoyao palace, Zijin cave and Lingjian mountain, as well as the taxes of the imperial court.

No one can squeeze too much from the counties, otherwise he will smash his own field regardless of the long term.

There are hundreds of counties in the whole kingdom of Yan, with 50000 gold coins for each county. A little makes a lot. Not to mention other inputs of Xiaoyao palace, just the tribute of each faction can nourish the Xiaoyao palace.

After calculation, the five counties of tianyumen will offer 250000 gold coins, while tianyumen will offer 50000 more and 300000 gold coins as agreed. However, looking at the thickness of the stack of gold tickets in front of us, it is far more than 300000.

After counting, an elder said to long Xiu, "one million!"

Long Xiu, who has quite an extraordinary and refined temperament, looked at Peng again. "There's 700000 more, leader Peng, please explain."

Peng said again: "palace leader, it's just tianyumen's intention. I hope you can accept it."

Long Xiu: "what do you mean? I heard that the lower five counties in Nanzhou are making preparations to annex the upper six counties. Before that, Zhenling courtyard and Feihua Pavilion were still denouncing tianyumen for plotting against us. Please preside over justice in Xiaoyao palace. Were you right by Zhenling courtyard and Feihua pavilion? Did you suddenly take out these money to buy Xiaoyao palace?"

Peng Zaizhi: "the palace master is serious. How can I buy Xiaoyao palace with only a million gold coins? If I do, I will be overkill. But then again, tianyumen really wants to guard Xiaoyao palace. I hope the palace master can complete it."

Long Xiu: "the ambition is not small. Can't the lower five counties of Nanzhou meet your appetite for tianyumen?"

Peng Youzai said: "I dare not hide my sincerity or tell lies in front of the palace master. Tianyumen wants to replace the territory of Zhenling courtyard and Feihua Pavilion because tianyumen thinks it can do better than the two factions."

Long Xiu: "what better way?"

Peng Youzai said: "for the eleven counties in Nanzhou, if you give them to the two factions, you can only pay 550000 yuan a year. If you give them to tianyumen, tianyumen can pay one million yuan a year!"

Long Xiu: "do you think if Zhenling courtyard and Feihua Pavilion can sit in the eleven counties of Nanzhou, they can't give 1 million tribute a year?"

Peng again: "Of course they can, but what they take out is different from what tianyumen takes out. If they take out one million yuan, the three major tribute sects will cost three million yuan. Their own sects will have to spend money, and the local governments will also have to spend money. If they take out this amount, they will do their best to fish for Nanzhou. In the long run, Nanzhou will collapse. But tianyumen is different. If the palace leader has the opportunity, he can pay attention to Qingshan county and Guangyi County, tianyumen is willing to make profits to manage people's livelihood, and turn Qingshan and Guangyi counties from a pool of stagnant water into living water. The business exchanges of various countries are gathered, the people are healthy and rich, and their tax revenue is several times that of other counties, which is one of them! "

"Second, money is small, and the stability of the state of Yan is great. The state of Zhao is on the side, eyeing the state of Yan, and has long wanted to annex it. Only because of the restraint of the princes within the state of Zhao, haiwuji is just unable to take care of the East for the time being. However, haiwuji is a generation who makes great efforts to govern, and is gradually disintegrating the princes within the state of Zhao. Once it is allowed to achieve its goal, the next step must be to focus on the fat meat of the state of Yan."
