Power and Empire Chapter 3176: Yelü’s War Loan

At the end of autumn, the weather has gradually cooled down. Even on Dijing West Road, there are large yellow leaves, swaying in the deserted autumn breeze. This is a harbinger of the coming winter. In the northern grassland, the grassland The wars between the ministries and the cold people have entered a calming period with the snowy weather. The winter on the grassland is enough to freeze the iron armor and the skin together. Even the grassland people who are hard to fight have to choose a truce in the winter. The wind and snow from the north have approached the mountains of Yanzhou. According to the report from Yanzhou, the temperature in the prairie is already ten degrees below zero, and it is even worse in the north. In previous years, it was not seen until after October. I saw the snow flakes in September this year. Even Yanzhou guarding Yueshan felt that this was a rare wonder in a century. He hurriedly came to Dijing West Road to see the emperor, and at the same time applied for the allocation of more winter supplies

"Dijing West Road has just experienced turmoil and business is dying, and it is also a gap in itself, so Yanzhou still find a solution by yourself"

The fat man put down the report in his hand and rolled his eyes at the imperial governor Yue Shan who had come from Yanzhou. This guy really dared to run to him and cry for poverty. The first two months he said he would repair the Yanzhou barrier, from himself. One million gold was taken away, but the Yanzhou barrier was not repaired intact. On the contrary, Yanzhou, which was already a hollow population, had an extra population of more than 30,000 out of thin air. It was said that repairing the Yanzhou barrier required labor. I’m in the south, and I didn’t pursue it too much. Who knows that in the past one month, the population of 30,000 has become 50,000, but now it’s okay, 80,000 have all come out, think about my 1 million imperial gold, but this guy has turned it into With the population, the fat man couldn’t help but feel distressed. Now this guy shamelessly said in front of him that he would allocate enough food and supplies for 300,000 people for the winter. He really knew nothing about it.

"Your Majesty, Yanzhou is not another place, there is almost no place where you can cultivate, and it is September now, even if it is too late to cultivate"

Yue Shan’s miserable look, he also knew that it was impossible to hide the emperor with military expenditures to buy population, but he did not regret that the grassland army broke Yanzhou at the time, and the 300,000 Yanzhou army might die, or Tens of thousands of people were captured by the prairie people. These people in Yanzhou became slaves. It is okay to buy them back from the prairie people. It was only after buying them that they found out that the number suddenly increased. Ten thousand people, the food needed in this winter will be a big problem, because the northern part of Central Biya is mostly occupied by steppe people, who do not grow food. After more than a year, the fields are already full of weeds. You can only buy food from the central and southern parts of Central and Biya. The incident on West Dijing Road in the previous period directly frightened the Kumia family who controlled the northern commercial roads, and caused the commercial roads to the north to be temporarily stopped. Now Yueshan Even if you want to buy food, you can’t transport it to Yanzhou. You can only rely on the military route. However, to use the military route, the emperor’s consent must be required. If you bite the bullet, Yueshan has to come to the emperor, just open your mouth. The ration of 300,000 people is nothing more than trying to divert the emperor’s attention, even if the emperor reduces the ration to one-third, the entire Yanzhou will be saved

Fatty asked Yueshan about the situation of the northern grassland. He knew that although the northern grassland is still fighting on a small scale, the three-legged situation is faintly formed. On the one hand, the cold people who have moved in from the cold area are in the north of the grassland. On the other hand, the various ministries of the Northern Grassland, which have not been suppressed by the royal court, formed an alliance to resist the cold people, while the third party is an empire that has famously said that it will not interfere in grassland affairs. It is within a hundred miles north of Yanzhou. Both the cold people and the prairie people keep tacitly avoiding, because this belongs to the empire's area of ​​influence, this is a reality that does not need to be public. Although the empire has clearly stated that it will not intervene in the prairie fight, no one will be stupid. It is believed that an extremely powerful empire will allow others to sleep peacefully by their side, stay away from the empire, and cherish life. This is a consensus recognized by both the cold people and the prairie people, and because both sides deliberately avoided it, this area has become The most prosperous trade area in the southern part of the North Grassland, merchants from the cold regions, prairie merchants, imperial merchants, and Dongbo people gather in this area.

"Since there is such an advantage, why not integrate it"

The fat man rolled his eyes, staring at Yueshan, thinking of the background of the Yanzhou native of the other party, his heart couldn't help but urged, the Emperor Jingxi Road was cleaned, although three of the four major forces were uprooted and these The control of the trade route was regained, but the Kumia clan who got rid of it still controlled the trade route to the north, and the trade route to the north was the top priority of the empire’s trade routes in the Central and Biya region. He was originally fat. I still feel a little bit distressed. I can see Yueshan now, thinking that Yanzhou is the throat to the north, and the business road to the north will pass through Yanzhou. I can’t help but grin at the corner of my mouth, "You can’t give you food, but I can point you to one. Ming Road, the caravan going to the grassland from Central and Bahia must pass through Yanzhou, and when I was in the north of Yanzhou, I saw the grassland people set up a market by themselves. Since you are taking advantage of Yanzhou, why don’t you know how to set up a market? Now the North Grassland and the cold people are fighting like a raging fire, and the Royal Court of Yelu is also attacking Dongbo. Regardless of which side, there is an urgent need for large quantities of supplies. You are standing on the Baoshan but don’t know it. Come to me and cry out for poverty. Can you blame others?

Yue Shan's eyes were straight when he heard. He is a soldier, not a businessman, but when he fled to the northern wilderness, he also presided over the Yue Valley. After the emperor’s call, he suddenly felt open and deeply moved sigh. "My Majesty said, I don’t know if Yueshan Mountain is indeed standing on Baoshan Mountain. I have always thought that Yanzhou is barren, but I didn’t expect that Yanzhou is also the throat passage between China and the northern grasslands. This unique geographical advantage , Itself is the largest capital of Yanzhou. If a trade fair is set up in Yanzhou, it will definitely be able to make a lot of money from caravans. The winter food for tens of thousands of people is really nothing."

"If this is the case, then go back early. This winter, pay more attention to the north." For the report of Yueshan's request for the allocation of supplies, the fat man turned it into an authorization to allow Yueshan to open the market in Yanzhou North in a few words. This means that although the empire did not finally take back the northward business road, but with the control of Yanzhou North, it can be regarded as bringing most of the northward business road under the control of the empire. Yanzhou, which has a thousand-year barrier, will become a China-Beijing The largest trade distribution center in northern Asia, a large number of commodities and weapons from the empire will flow into the prairie from here, and a large number of cattle, sheep, livestock and horses will flow from the prairie to the Dijing West Road area,

Yueshan was dismissed, but the troubles also followed. I thought that Yelv Qiyeguang would not return until the end of September. Who knew it was only in the first ten days of September, Yelv Qiyeguang came back radiantly, Beibei The battle of the grassland defeated the Northern Palace in one fell swoop. This queen of the Yelu Palace proved the power of the Yelu Family and realized the counterattack of the Yelu Family against the North Palace, and the subsequent advance to the Dongbo area was also devastating. The Dongbo people who fought were disintegrated and forced the Dongbo royal family to come forward to negotiate. After all, the prairie people are a faction of the strong. Yelu Qiyeguang proved that he is the strongest in the prairie with a series of victories. I went out of the city for fifty li to meet, and the fame of Yelu Qiyeguang also reached its peak,

"How does it feel like the mountain collapsed and the ground cracked?"

The fat man looked at the servant Queen Yelu, his face was funny

"What nonsense, even your majesty, you should maintain a certain amount of awe for the longevity sky" Yelu Qiyeguang's pretty face is very serious, a trace of horror flashes in his eyes, a look of distress,

Don’t look at Yelu Qiyeguang’s face with a big victory and a domineering attitude. In fact, according to Dongbo’s intelligence, Yelu Qiyeguang was scared back. The large earthquake in Dongbo area spread more than 100 miles. , The time to die is just the moment before the Yelu army is about to take down Linggu Mountain, the important town of Dongbo. Since Linggu Mountain has the word "mountain" in its name, it is enough to show that this important town is built on the mountain. After three days of fierce attack in front of this important town, and the loss of the five thousand team, it was considered that the outer wall of Linggushan was broken. It was the most tragic battle after the attack on Dongbo. Who knows that it is about to be captured. For a moment, the ground shook and the mountain shook, and huge cracks spread out on the Linggu Mountain like a spider web. The half wall of Linggu Mountain collapsed like it was hollowed out, not only burying all the Dongbo defenders inside, but Thousands of people were buried in the Yelu family who attacked the mountain.

This scene frightened all the Yelu army, and even Yelu Qiyeguang was stupid. The prairie people believed in gods, and the big earthquake naturally changed the mountain **** in their eyes. Mountain withdrawal

"His Royal Highness, this is the will of Changshengtian warning us"

"Can't fight anymore, Changshengtian is angry." Various rumors, the morale of the Yelu army vented to the end, and the increasingly cold weather made the Yelu family no longer able to attack the mountain and mobilized the Beijin University. It has been three months since the grassland. The army has struggled to fight against the northern grassland. The king's court has been wounded. The attack on Dongbo is also a lot of battle damage. In the end, it finally hit Linggu Mountain in one breath, but it was met with the wrath of the mountain god. Under the overall situation of returning to the army, Yelu Qiyeguang can only temporarily return the army to the Imperial Capital area for repair. The first thing after returning is to find a fat man. Who calls the fat man known as the longevity walker on the ground?

"Did I really provoke the unhappiness of Changshengtian? In the final analysis, I am just a Dongbo person, but I defeated the North King Court, destroyed the King Court, and declared that the King Court will never be established again. Zero point Reading..."

Yelü Qiyeguang's big twinkling eyes, a rare trace of trepidation in her eyes, her pitiful look makes people feel distressed. It can be seen that the King of Destruction still has considerable pressure in her heart. After all, the royal court system has lasted for thousands of years in the northern grassland, and it is already a kind of sacredness, but now it has been extinguished by myself

"Since the longevity sky has allowed you to defeat the North King Court, then you are the choice of the longevity sky"

The fat man aroused Yelu Qiyeguang’s white chin, and said in a deep voice, explaining to the prairie people what crustal movement is. It’s just boring to find yourself. Yelu Qiyeguang grew up in the grassland, and his devotion to Changshengtian has been deeply rooted in his bones. ,

"Then why did something like that happen, you know what a terrible sight that was, the whole mountain collapsed, the ground cracked, the river flowed back... I even felt the sky was shaking" Yelu Qi Ye Guang asked with breathlessness in his chest when he talked about the scene that day.

"The earth is cracking, the sky is shaking, and the big change in Dongbo's land is a sign of Dongbo's change of master. You should be happy!" When the fat guy is talking about the level of wearing a **** stick, even if he is not a movie king. The award-nominated ones were used to cheat Yelu Qiyeguang. Sure enough, under the enlightenment of the fat man, Yelu Qiyeguang finally recovered some gods in his eyes. He hesitated and gritted his teeth. "Your Majesty meant to say , This is not a bad omen, but a good omen?"

"Of course it's a good omen, and it's a good omen!" The corner of the fat man's mouth smiled hard

"Haha, I know that Changshengtian will not blame me. I am such a good person. I have always treated others tolerantly and destroyed the king's court. I did not do it. Changshengtian should be held accountable. Looking for that talent, "Yelü Qiyeguang smiled on his face, prayed to Changshengtian in his mouth, and heard that the fat man almost fainted. This kind of murderer also has the face to be kind to others. What is longevity and naive must be investigated, and he must also be looking for that person. ! Just about to refute a few words, I saw Yelu Qiyeguang looking at herself with a twisted face. The fat man suddenly felt bad and hurriedly coughed. "Oh, I think I'm going to the Imperial Bank today, so I won't accompany you here anymore. !"

"Your Majesty is going to the Imperial Bank, that's just right, I want to go too" Yelu Qiyeguang, with bright eyes, quickly took out a stack of scrolls from his tall chest, shy of a beautiful and dazzling smile. Coming up, the soft and warm beauty confidant plunged into the fat man’s nose. The fat man didn’t know what was written on the stack of scrolls. He only heard a silver bell and laughed, "Since your majesty thinks my Yelu’s family is the best of the future. Lord, then please help me with this."

"What's this?" The fat man stared a bit~IndoMTL.com~ but it can scare Yelu Qiyeguang there,

"Of course it’s a loan. My Yelv family went north in order to win the cooperation of various ministries. I have exhausted my family background. I wanted to get some back from the East, but I encountered the wrath of Changshengtian. As the sovereign nation, shouldn’t I help a little? "Yelü Qiyeguang glanced at him, pursing her lips and smiled. "My Yelu family is willing to use 60% of the Dongbo royal family's property as collateral to borrow 2 million imperial gold from the Imperial Bank."

"Dongbo Royal Family?" The fat man took a deep breath. "Have you landed the capital of Dongbo Royal Family?"

"No, but believe me, it won’t be too long. The empire will definitely not lose!" Yelu Qiye’s pretty face blushed a little, and smiled sweetly." As far as I know, the Dongbo royal family controls With the largest gold mine in Dongbo, the wealth of the royal family has been amazing for hundreds of years. This is like a bet. Two million imperial golds are a bet on 60% of Dongbo royal wealth. If it weren’t for my eagerness Funds are needed to buy food and supplies for winter operations. If you want to take 80% of the two million gold, don’t even think about it."

"You can think of this way, I really underestimated you!" The fat man looked at Yelu Qiyeguang with twinkling eyes. Isn't this the war loan from the capital predators of later generations? Even the Imperial Bank. I didn’t open this business, but I was able to make this woman think of it

"Don't take a loan, hurry up" Yelu Qiyeguang has a stubborn face

"Two million gold is impossible. In poor places like Dongbo, one million gold will die. And I want to send someone to supervise the army. I want 80% of the royal family’s property and the gold mine. Fifty percent" The fat man took those papers, sighed, and said, she is indeed a smart woman. If the Dongbo royal family is really so wealthy and there are gold mines in hand, the consequences of the Yelv family's monopoly will be very serious. Seriously, on the contrary, this is how to pull the empire into the water, and the interests are evenly distributed, which is the long-term way for Yelu’s parentsrw
