In the capital, Qin Feng was happily receiving his future son-in-law. Overall, this young man named Xu Jia was quite satisfied with him. At least when he knew nothing about it, he was suddenly taken to the palace by Xiaowen. The boy was not scared to fall down. Although his legs were trembling and his face turned a little pale when he met with Qin Feng and his wife, overall, he was still considered a Chinese rule.

This is already very good.

Overall, this family dinner was very pleasant. Even if Xu Jia was placed in the time and space of Qin Feng’s past, he was considered a promising young man. He was doing the kind of venture capital, which required great courage and precise vision. Without courage, he naturally could not do this. So far, this kid has done a good job and has supported the entire family at a young age. More importantly, Qin Feng found that Xu Jia and his daughter were like-minded. The two were considered to be in the same way as the finance department. They had a common language and got along well.

The only person who picked Xu Jia was Qin Wu, or he felt that his sister was about to leave him. At the banquet, he repeatedly made things difficult for this brother-in-law. However, Xu Jia had many years of experience in the mall and had a lot of experience. He did not find an excuse to attack Xiao Wu. In the end, he could only deal with him with wine.

At this level, Xu Jia did not pass by it safely. He drank until he was drunk and finally fell into the palace. Finally, Xiao Wu was scolded by Xiao Wen and ran away embarrassedly. He was about to leave Yuejing City. His new task was to go to the navy to experience it, mainly to stay in Huludao to supervise the manufacturing of warships and transport materials for the upcoming warfare.

Through the capital, there was joy in the upper and lower parts, but in the distant capital of Qi, Chang'an, it was shrouded in a miserable mist. Tuobayan defeated the Hengduan Mountains and even died in battle. The reinforcements led by Yan Xiaoyi, who set out from Cangzhou, immediately stopped moving forward and turned back to the house after receiving the news. Tuobayan and Sun Yang died in battle, and Guangyang had no leader. When the army led by He Weiping arrived at Guangyang City, they took the last stronghold of Qi in the Hengduan Mountains without any effort.

At this point, the Hengduan Mountains were completely owned by the Ming army, and the gateway to attack Cangzhou was opened. Without the protection of the Hengduan Mountains, Cangzhou spread out to the plains and had almost no danger to defend. Under the threat of tens of thousands of troops of the Hulao New Army under He Weiping's rule, he was already in danger.

Tuobayan was also the highest-level general who died in Qi since the official confrontation between the Ming and Qi sides.

Although the two countries have not officially started war, Qi has suffered heavy losses. First, the navy army was destroyed, and the navy commander Ning Zeyuan died in battle, and now it is Tuobayan. Compared with Ning Ze, Tuobayan has a higher status and more powerful position, and has a greater influence on Qi. His death completely ignited Cao Yun's anger.

"Severe all relationships with the Ming people and enter a wartime state." In the hall, Cao Yun roared angrily: "Fight, fight, only victory can wash away our shame."

The war must be started on the Ming Dynasty as soon as possible. Since this year, a consensus has been reached between the Qi court. The Ming people's development was too rapid. For Qi, the Ming Kingdom was simply a monster. At the beginning, everyone felt that with the vast territory of Qi and the countless people, as long as they sorted out the domestic affairs, defeating the Ming people was just a matter of turning their hands. It is necessary to know that Qi was already familiar with such things. In the past two hundred years after the collapse of the Tang Dynasty, Qi had been doing the same to fight against the other three with the power of one family, and suppressing the other three was too breathless.

Although the Ming Dynasty unified Yue, Chu and Qin, its territory was still those, and the population, after more than ten years of chaos, had withered even more. Ten years were far from enough to recover.

But their wishful thinking was completely shattered under the rapid development of the Ming Dynasty. The development model of the Ming Dynasty had exceeded their imagination.

Countless new technologies have exploded, and the inventions and applications of various machinery have greatly made up for the shortcomings of the Ming people. So far, Qi has been horrified to find that the Ming people have left Qi behind the national strength.

On the most prosperous streets of Chang'an, when you look up, you can see that all the goods produced by the Ming Dynasty are all included. These goods are transported from thousands of miles away, and they are even cheaper than those produced by the Qi State. The Ming Dynasty's merchants poured into the Ming Dynasty have already run the merchants of Qi State into a place without any standing cone.

One business is facing bankruptcy, and a large number of people have abandoned the land they had dreamed of and become refugees. The things that Qi State now exported to the Ming State have no worthwhile products except the most basic means of production.

When the gold and silver hard currency of Qi rushed to Ming like a flood that broke the dike, Qi's economy was shaking. Although Qi was careful to guard against the Ming Dynasty's financial attack from the beginning, the road was one foot higher and the demon was one foot higher. The embankment they built was still broken by the Ming people effortlessly.

"All commercial transactions with the Ming Dynasty were cancelled, and the imperial court established a monopoly department. All goods related to national economy and people's livelihood were sold by the state. The rest of the people, etc., operated without authorization, and killed Wuhe!"

"Trade privately with the Ming people and kill!"

"Kill any wise commodity!"

The killing orders echoed in the hall, and the officials who attended the court all looked solemn. The battle between Ming and Qi can be said to have begun from this time.

Xian Bisong, Guo Xiancheng and other generals were all worshipped as if they were back to the court. As soon as the court meeting dispersed, everyone was ready to return to their respective stations. For Guo Xiancheng, everyone could only hurriedly clasp their fists and say a word of mercy.

Tuobayan is Guo Xiancheng's niece. I believe that Haosu is everywhere in Guo's mansion at this time.

A few days later, the area of ​​Changzhu, Taoyuan County, on the border between the Ming and Qi countries, had become extremely cold from the prosperous place in the past. The merchants of Qi began to retreat on a large scale with a sad mood. For them, the beginning of the war means that their good days are over. The issuance of various monopoly orders by the Qi court can almost be said to have killed most of their business. In the future, they can only become lackeys under the various monopoly departments of the court. Not to mention their hard work, not to make money, but to be afraid that they will have their lives to worry about. The policies during the war are unusual. If human life is really like grass, if it is a little unhappy, it will be impossible to kill you.

But for the merchants of the Ming Dynasty, they were overjoyed. Compared with other ethnic groups in the Ming Dynasty, the merchants were more eager to start a war against Qi immediately. It was strange that these merchants were more optimistic about the prospects for the victory of the Ming and Qi battle than officials and army. They were eager for the huge market of Qi. Once Qi was conquered, the vast territory of Qi would be released to them. This was almost a virgin land that they had not developed yet. It was imagined that there was much wealth to be discovered.

Putting aside the future prospects, even now is also a good opportunity for them to get rich.

Unlike Qi State, during the war, the logistics of the Ming State was sold to merchants, and even the transportation of weapons was carried out by special contractors.

When the war begins, they have more business opportunities, and they have more opportunities to make a fortune as they advance behind the army. This is the most valuable experience that the merchants of the Ming Dynasty gained in the more than ten years of war career of the Ming Dynasty.

This is the difference between people's opinions. It's like two people were sent to a barbaric place to sell shoes. One person thinks that the people here have no habit of wearing shoes at all, and there is no prospect here at all, but the other person thinks that this is a godsend opportunity. As long as these people's habit of wearing shoes is cultivated, a huge market will appear.

In the eyes of most people, the places where wars have been destroyed and people are living in poverty, so where can there be money to make? But in the eyes of these businessmen of the Republic of China, the battlefield is full of gold, and you can earn a lot of wealth without any effort.

No one was more eager for war than the merchants of the Ming Dynasty. During the peace of the Ming Dynasty, they even organized armed merchant ships overseas to take the initiative to seek war.

Changzhu was the forefront of the war. When the merchants quickly evacuated, the army quickly moved in. Fuyuan Battalion was the first to enter Changzhu. The builders happily brought a large number of machinery and materials into the site. The original design of Changzhu was aimed at building a large number of houses in a targeted manner. What they had to do now is to connect these steel and cement structures. After completing this work, a solid city appeared.

With cement and concrete, this work is easier to complete. Almost overnight, the original roads and gaps between houses were filled with molds. The construction team, which was constructed day and night, quickly built the defense system of Changzhu with the help of various machinery.

Just when Changzhu was busy, Fan Chang packed up his salute and prepared to set off for Yuejing. He had received a transfer order from the Ministry of War. From now on, he was no longer the deputy general of Fuyuan Camp, but was transferred to the King of Qi and served as the commander of the King of Qi.

In the eyes of others, this is the rhythm of Fan Chang's success. Who is the King of Qi? His Majesty's eldest son, the future Emperor of Ming Dynasty, and serving as the commander of His Highness the King of Qi, means that a general's position in the future will not be able to escape. But in Fan Chang's view, when the Ming Qi battle that he had been looking forward to day and night was about to begin, he became a deserter.
