Chapter 521

Seeing Feng Ji shouting the final reserve price of 90,000 yuan, 1.5 million stones, Bai Mo's face finally fell completely. He knelt down from the mat and said coldly: "It seems that there is no need to continue talking!" After putting these words, Bai Mo turned around and brushed his sleeves. Zhou Guanfu glared at Feng Ji with murderous aura, Guan Zhong took a look and followed him.

Feng Ji, Guan Zhong stood up, grabbed Chen Ping and asked, "Trial Master, what does the Prime Minister mean?"

Chen Ping shook his head and said, "I also advise you to do not do things too well, say goodbye."

Watching Chen Ping's figure go away, Guan Zhong turned his head and said to Feng Ji, "Brother Feng, Bai Mo will not be angry and embarrassed. Just use force on us, right? If this is the case, we will be helpless."

"No." Feng Ji waved his hand and said indifferently, "Although Bai Mo said that he hated businessmen's skills and did not want to bargain with us, this guy is actually smart. Don't look at him showing a cold face and not wanting to continue talking, in fact, this is the most clever bargaining skill. He is forcing us to make concessions."

Guan Zhong said: "What should we do now? We can afford to wait, but can't we wait for food?"

Feng Liang said: "Don't worry, brother Guan Zhong, we can't afford to wait, Bai Mo can't afford to wait. He is still waiting to repay the borrowed grain from Han and Zhao, so he won't wait too long."

Chen Ping quickly caught up with Bai Mo and asked, "Tao Shi, how to deal with this matter?"

Before Bai Mo answered, Zhou Guanfu said, "Prime Minister, why not lead the troops to conquer them? These two guys actually dared to dominate the market in the Guanzhong Dadi period. Have you turned against them?"

"You should not do anything random when you win." Bai Mo hurriedly stopped Zhou Guanfu and said to Chen Ping, "Tai Shi, 90,000,000 yuan of 1.5 million stones are too far from our bottom line. In today's situation, if you continue to talk, you may not have any good results, so I decided to hang them for a few days first. I will wait until they come to the door to talk."

Chen Ping nodded slightly and said, "But they may not ask for a visit."

"They will." Bai Mo looked back at the dense ships on the Sanjiangkou Water Village and said thoughtfully. "This grain ship is parked on the water surface, with a very heavy tide, and it will definitely become moldy after a long time."

Xiangzhuang was surrounded by Bishu and Bailixian and was strolling on the left bank of Yingshui. Looking around, many villages on both sides of Yingshui have recovered their vitality. Not only are the sound of chickens and dogs, but there are also smoke curling up. On the ridges of roads on both sides of Yingshui, there are farmers turning over the ground without fear of the cold. Sometimes there are peasant women who come to deliver food, and behind their butts are three or two slapped children.

"King, the changes in Yingchuan County are so great." Bailixian sighed sincerely, "More than half a year ago, Yingchuan County was still in a depressed state, but now? There are many pedestrians in the village, and there are also roads. At first glance, it is no less than the countryside of Jiangdong counties."

Xiang Zhuang was in a good mood and said with a smile: "This is all your contribution to Ziliang. If you hadn't offered a good idea to let the bandits join the household registration, even if we could move all the millions of people in Jiangdong, it would be difficult for the five counties in Wei to develop. At least three years, it would be impossible to send money and grain to Taicang."

Bailixian hurriedly said, "This, I definitely don't dare to take credit for it."

Xiang Zhuang smiled and said, "Ziliang, do you know how many bandits have borrowed them now?"

Bailixian replied: "Master, I think there should be at least more than 50,000 people?"

"Fifty thousand?" Xiang Zhuang shook his head and laughed, "Ziliang, you have always made perfect plans, but this time he miscalculated. Gao Chu just returned that it was said that the borrowed bandits from the five counties of Wei had exceeded 300,000. If even their wives, children, and young people, the total number of people was more than 500,000!"

"What, more than 500,000?" Bailixian was really surprised this time.

Bi Shu was also a little surprised and asked: "Didn't the Han army who fled to Wei's territory only have more than 100,000 defeated soldiers?"

Xiang Zhuang said: "The Han army who fled here did have only more than 100,000 defeated soldiers, but in addition to the defeated soldiers of the Han army, there were also the defeated soldiers of the Huainan army and the defeated soldiers of the Qi army who escaped from Huainan. In addition, in previous years, the people who escaped into the mountains and forests because they could not bear Peng Yue's exploitation, they lost more than 300,000 strong men. When I first saw this number, I was surprised."

Baili Xian said: "So, with the original registered households, the population of Wei has exceeded one million?"

"To be precise, it is more than 1.2 million." Xiang Zhuang nodded and said, "However, if the five counties in Wei are truly developed and become the center of the entire Chu State, they have to continue to immigrate. I estimate that at least two million people have to be moved from all over the country. With a population base of three million, it is probably almost the same."

The five counties in Wei are Henan, which are later generations. Henan has a fertile land of thousands of miles, and is irrigated and convenient. Hebei has always been the heart of the Huaxia people. As long as there is no civil strife in the dynasty, the population of these two places will account for at least more than half of the country's total population. Xiangzhuang also built Henan as the strategic base of the future Great Chu Empire.

Just as he was talking, Jin Xiang suddenly protected Qu Bucai and rushed over.

"King, I just received a letter from Fei Ge from Guanzhong." Seeing the ceremony, Qu Bucai delivered a secret letter.

After reading the secret letter, Xiang Zhuang handed it to Bi Shu. After reading it, Bi Shu handed it to Bailixian. The secret letter was sent by the Yimu Ya Liyang branch. After Chen Ping formed the Black Ice Platform, he strengthened his control over Xianyang, especially when Chen Ping used eagles to patrol the city, and the carrier pigeons were repeatedly caught. The Yimu Ya had no choice but to move the branch to Liyang.

What the secret letter said is naturally about the food dominance.

Baili Xian said: "Master, Bai Mo's move is probably to force Feng, Guan, right?"

"That's natural." Xiang Zhuang suddenly showed a hint of cunning in his eyes, and turned his head to instruct Qu Bucai, "Old Qu, immediately send a letter to Anyi and Handan, and report this to King Han Xin and King Zhao Zhang Ao."

Qu Bucai took Nuo away, but Bai Lixian said, "King, Bai Mo may not surrender to the pressure of King Han and King Zhao."

Xiang Zhuang waved his hands and smiled trepidly: "Of course Bai Mo would not succumb to King Han. Under the pressure of King Zhao, I have no such extravagant hope. Haha, the reason why I want to implicate this matter in front of King Han was to make this matter a dead end."

Bishu, Bailixian couldn't help but look at each other when he heard this, but he only saw a confused look in the other person's eyes.

The cunning look in Xiang Zhuang's eyes became more and more intense, and he said with a smile: "Learn from the sword, Ziliang, think about it. If under the intervention of King Han and King Zhao, this matter will be acceptable to all parties. Then when Bai Mo wants to change his mind, will he have to consider the consequences?"

Bishu, Bailixian looked at each other, but still didn't know what was said.

Seeing the two of them confused, Xiang Zhuang felt unprecedented joy in his heart. He couldn't help but look forward to the day when Bai Mo was defeated.

A distinguished guest came to Anyi, and General Jie Fu personally accompanied him to the palace to meet King Han Xin.

This distinguished guest was nothing else, but was Zhaosheqimai, the younger brother of the Northern Diao King Zhaoshe, also known as Qimai. In this ancient times when current affairs and information were extremely underdeveloped, it was difficult for others to understand the secret connection between Qimai and Chu. In fact, even in Chu, only a few important civil and military officials knew the true background of Qimai.

King Han Xin reconciled Fu naturally could not know that Qi Mai was a spy from Chu.

However, the Northern Diao tribe had good friends with Chu and had already established the king of Han Xin with the help of Chu. However, this did not affect the exchanges between the Northern Diao Kingdom and South Korea. Although South Korea and Chu were in a hostile camp, the Northern Diao Kingdom had not yet joined the alliance led by Chu, right?

More importantly, we buy horses that we can sell in urgent need in Korea.

After the guest of honor gave a greeting, King Han Xin of Han asked directly: "How many horses can sir?"

Qi Mai smiled and asked without answering, "Haha, but I don't know how many horses does King Han want?"

King Han Xin's eyes suddenly lit up. After seeing the Chu cavalry and the Han cavalry's power, he dreamed of building an iron cavalry that was not inferior to the Chu and Han cavalry, but he just couldn't find enough war horses.

When King Han Xin was about to have in-depth exchanges with Qi Mai, an eunuch came in quickly and said a few words in his ear. King Han Xin's face suddenly showed a look of embarrassment. He waved his hand and turned away from the eunuch, and then ordered Jie Fu: "Jie Fu, you talk with the gentleman first. I have some urgent tasks, come when I go."

After saying that, before Jie Fu could react, Qi Mai stood up and left the seat and hurried away.

Qi Mai was stunned, but Jie Fu quickly revenges for a smile and says, "Sir, let's continue talking."

Not mentioning Jie Fu and Qi Mai for now, he said that King Han Xin hurried back to the harem and asked the eunuch who was accompanying him as he walked: "Fother Feng is fine this morning, why is he going to die suddenly?"

"King, I don't know this servant." The eunuch smiled bitterly.

As he gradually approached Feng Fei's bedroom, he heard a crying sound: "Don't stop me, don't stop me, let me die, you let me die, I don't want to live anymore, I don't want to live anymore, wuwu..."

As soon as he entered the door, King Han Xin of Han saw Feng Feng struggling to put his long jade neck into the Bailian ring. Several palace maids were blocking her desperately. When King Han Xin of Han Xin of Han was anxious, he rushed forward and robbed Concubine Feng and hugged him, saying, "What's wrong with you, beloved concubine?! Who bullies you? Tell me, I'll vent my anger."

"King, your king." Feng Miaonu hugged King Han Xin's thick neck and said in tears, "Half a month ago, the price of grain in Guanzhong plummeted, and my brother spent some money to buy a batch of grain. Unexpectedly, Bai Mo was traitorous in Sanjiangkou. The food was about to get moldy, and my brother was about to lose all his money, but I was afraid he would not be able to survive. I didn't want to live anymore..."!~!
