Another person saw Qin Shangzhi and the woman who was noble and protected by guards use some of the meals they ate together, which is surprising. The men of the rich and noble family or Xun noble family are afraid that they can't get used to this big pot of food. At first sight, the girl is the woman of the noble family, but she doesn't dislike it at all. She looks like a man who can bear hardships.

Some people have suspected that this is their great Zhou's majesty, but how can your majesty come here in person?

The emperor should sit in the golden palace and accept the worship of all officials. Even if he goes out, all officials should follow him. That's what the play book says.

Having had meals with these people and soldiers, Bai Qingyan touched his mouth with a handkerchief, looked at the soldiers and people sitting in the temporary shed for dinner, and said with Qin Shangzhi, "add some meat to your meals. If you don't eat meat, you can't do it. If you don't have enough money, just ask the Ministry of household."

Qin Shangzhi nodded, "OK!"

As soon as Qin Shangzhi's voice fell, he saw Xie Yuchang rush into the food shed with a memorial in his hand. Panting, he handed the bamboo tube to Bai Qingyan: "Your Majesty, the urgent report of Dengzhou!"

Bai Qingyan took the letter tray, opened it and poured out the letter paper

Xie Yuchang calmed down a little and breathed heavily. According to the words of the messenger just now, "there was a conflict between Dengzhou army and Tianfeng national elephant army on the border between Xiliang and Rongdi. There were 36 casualties on our side and 13 casualties on the other side. An elephant was shot blind by Dengzhou Qingqi."

Qin Shangzhi tightened his hand and turned to Bai Qingyan, who was reading the urgent newspaper carefully. His face suddenly sank: "Your Majesty..."

My uncle said in his letter that the Tianfeng Kingdom deliberately provoked this time, but less than half an hour after the accident, akexie of the Tianfeng Kingdom sent his deputy general to the Dazhou military camp to apologize, raised the head of the elephant, and sent the heads of more than 20 soldiers who came to the border with the elephant, including the dead 13 people.

Not only that, the kingdom of Tianfeng also presented a generous gift and twenty war horses, asking for forgiveness. It also said that... It can bear the pension of the dead soldiers of Dazhou, and the injured and disabled can be compensated ten times as much as that of Dazhou.

On the contrary, the attitude of the state of Tianfeng gave Da Zhou no room to hold on, and this was the first time that the elephant army of the state of Tianfeng fought against the elephant. Even the cavalry were vulnerable in front of the elephant. The soldiers were helpless even if they were brave in the face of the huge thing. If they really came to the battlefield, the elephant galloped and it was really hard to shoot in the eyes.

Bai Qingyan clenched his hand on the letter paper, and his heart suddenly became clear.

She rolled up the letter paper sent by her uncle and lit it with a candle on the black lacquer square table.

Qin Shangzhi looked at the bright and extinguished fire, reflected Bai Qingyan's cold eyes suddenly bright and dark, and tightened his palm. It also took time for the news to be sent here from Dengzhou. The alliance of several countries was proposed by Tianfeng country and Xiliang. Don't the generals of Tianfeng country know the way? Why should we do such a thing at the juncture of the alliance of several countries?

Bai Qingyan looked at the pieces of paper that were about to burn out. His eyes were full of cold. In less than half an hour, he could cut off their elephant heads, which Tianfeng country was proud of. Without hesitation, he gave them the heads of their officers and soldiers together, as well as generous gifts and 20 war horses. He handled them so crisp and neatly without even hesitation. If he had not prepared in advance, she would never believe it.

She knows... Tianfeng kingdom is trying to test Da Zhou.

The alliance of several countries was proposed by Tianfeng state, so at this time, he began to test, pushed the action above the accidental friction between the two sides, lowered his attitude, sent generous gifts and war elephants, as well as the heads of the officers and soldiers of Tianfeng state, and paid pensions. Even if Da Zhou was angry, he would not really fight, but also show that they really decided to enter the alliance.

The Tianfeng Kingdom handled it so neatly. I think... I have tried to test the strength of other countries in this way, so as to formulate the policy of attack and occupation.

The uncle's letter also said that the Tianfeng Kingdom recently collected grain and grass at a high price at the border of the great Zhou Dynasty. Many grain merchants did not allow grain to leave the Qiushan pass because Bai Qingqi blocked the Qiushan pass. Instead, they bypassed Rong Di to trade with the Tianfeng kingdom. The Tianfeng Kingdom offered very high prices and was collecting grain at all costs.

It is normal for businessmen to pursue profits.

Presumably... Some grain merchants sent grain to the state of Yan, and then sent grain to Xiliang from the state of Yan, which has not yet closed its business to Xiliang, and sold it to Xiliang at a high price.

"Where is the messenger sent by my uncle?" Bai Qingyan asked.

"The person who sent the urgent report fainted. Dr. Hong has gone to see it!" said Xie Yuchang.

"Green bamboo, pick a few people, go to Dengzhou immediately and tell your uncle... You don't have to stop the grain merchants from selling grain. Gather the grain merchants and tell them that if you want to make profits, you need to limit the amount of grain sold to Tianfeng country every day, and the grain sold to Tianfeng country will rise day by day according to the current grain price of Tianfeng country by 20 times..."

"Yes!" Shen Qingzhu is on his way to pick Bai's escort

"Miss Shen, wait!" Xie Yuchang looked at Bai Qingyan in surprise. "Your Majesty, do you mean that every day... Rises 20 times the previous day?"

"Yes! Let my uncle tell the grain merchants that only when they start to supply grain to Tianfeng country in a limited amount, and the less they give to Tianfeng country... The more room for price increase! The merchants pursue profits... Will understand what I mean!"

Tianfeng Kingdom comes from the other side of the snow mountain, and the domestic land desertification is serious. Although the grain production can maintain the domestic operation, there may be grain reserves, but it can't withstand the cost of Tianfeng expedition, and the cost of transporting grain is also very high. Tianfeng kingdom can only take it from Xiliang, or buy it from merchants of Dazhou and Yan

But whether there is grain in Xiliang must have been clear to these businessmen. Otherwise, they will not bypass Qiushan pass to transport grain to Xiliang. Goods are scarce, but less... Prices have reason to rise. Businessmen are fine!

"Miss Shen is with your majesty. I'll pick someone to deliver the letter!" Xie Yuchang saluted Bai Qing and left quickly.

Bai Qingyan got up, accompanied by Qin Shangzhi, walked along the riverbank for a while, explained to Qin Shangzhi about repairing the canal, and was supported by Shen Qingzhu and Chuntao into the carriage.

Looking at the pregnant Bai Qingyan's slimmer appearance than before, Qin Shangzhi tightened his fist on his side, stepped forward and said to Bai Qing: "Your Majesty doesn't have to worry about going to Pingyang city here. After the Tianfeng Kingdom tried to test the border between Rong and Di, it took a low attitude to make compensation. So now, what the Tianfeng Kingdom wants most is to take advantage of the situation to establish diplomatic relations with Dazhou and Dayan, and then encroach step by step. At present, it doesn't dare to mess around!"

After saying that, Qin Shangzhi felt that Bai Qingyan's mind had long been known to his heart, so he closed his lips and bowed to Bai Qingyan: "take care, your majesty!"
