"But fortunately, all of us are pursuing peace, and everything can be discussed."

In the room, as this sentence was said, Ning Yi's eyes became serious, and the coldness in his eyes was even a little invisible. Lin Houxuan was stared at by him and was silent for a moment.

"The right or wrong of this battle is still worth discussing, but... what Mr. Ning wants to talk about, you might as well say bluntly. Houxuan is just a person who passes the message, but he will definitely bring Mr. Ning's words to you."

His words were soft and hard, and they could be considered neither humble nor arrogant. On the other side, Ning Yi smiled again, or expressed his approval, or seemed to be a slight sarcasm.

"That's right, I understand what Brother Lin said. Since it's a message, but Ning said next, please remember it clearly. Don't forget it when you meet Your Majesty of your country tomorrow, or if you pass it wrong. It's important. Ning explains these clearly first, and I'll forgive you."

"Mr. Ning is right, Houxuan must be cautious."

"Okay." Ning Yi stood up with a smile, paced slowly in the room, and then said after a while: "When Brother Lin entered the city, you have seen the scenery outside, right?"

"I wonder what Mr. Ning is referring to?"

"We are also very troublesome, not at all easy." Ning Yi said, "The northwest is already barren, not a wealthy land. You came here, killed people, and destroyed the land. This time, the wheat was harvested and a lot of waste wasted. The total amount could not support so many people. Now July is coming, and when winter comes, it is famine again, and people are going to die. I have taken a part of the wheat, and the rest is paid to them according to the head of the people. They can't survive this year. Some people still have surplus grains in their families, and some people can still get some food from the wilderness, or they can get over to the big houses and stop working. They feel that the land was originally theirs, and the grain is also theirs. Now we should share the food according to the previous arable land, and now we are making trouble outside. If we really divide it like this, there will be more people who starve to death. These difficulties. Brother Li saw it, right?"

"Mr. Ning's kindness." Lin Houxuan bowed his hand, somewhat confused, but also a little gloating. "But please forgive Houxuan for saying frankly. Since the Chinese army took back Yanzhou and distributed grain according to the land deed is the right way, there are few people talking and few troubles. My Xixia army came over and killed many people. Many land deeds became ownerless things and comforted the great clans. In these places, the Chinese army can also put them in their pockets with justification. It is really inappropriate for Mr. Ning to share grain according to the head, but Houxuan admires the kindness and righteousness of the heart."

As an envoy, he naturally did not dare to offend Ning Yi too much. This was also true at this time. Ning Yi leaned against the desk and smiled slightly without comment.

"Brother Lin may be very strange. If you want to negotiate, you have to hide your weaknesses. Why do I speak out in a blunt way? But in fact, Ning thought differently. This world belongs to everyone. I hope everyone has benefits. My difficulties may not become your difficulties in the future." He paused and remembered, "Oh. By the way, the Zhe family has been tentatively watching the situation in Yanzhou recently. To be honest, the Zhe family is cunning and fighting is definitely not good. I have a headache for these things."

"It's not easy to get to the Zhe family." Lin Houxuan nodded and responded.

"So to be honest, I can only make a decision from you." Ning Yi pointed two points with his fingers, his tone became colder again, and he said straight, "After Dong Zhiyuan fights, Li Ganshun returns to China, the situation is not good, I know..."

"Ning..." It seemed gentle and friendly the moment before. At this moment, Lin Houxuan wanted to speak out, but Ning Yi had no feelings in his eyes. He seemed to be looking at a dead person. With a wave of his hand, he had already continued to say it.

"Your Xixia is in the country, the Emperor's and Empress's, and the Liliang battle has not been a day or two. It is not enough to hide the power of several major tribes. It is not enough to be underestimated when Tie Yaozi and the Proton Army were there. When Dong Zhiyuan fought, Tie Yaozi was gone, and the Proton Army was broken up. It is hard to say how many deaths were. We caught more than 200 later. Li Ganshun went back this time and had a big fight. Fortunately, he still has some foundation. Within a month, you Xixia has not changed. Next, you will rely on slowly to consolidate the authority of the Li family. This process can be done in three or five years or so, I think it is hard to say whether it can be done or not."

Ning Yi tapped the table with his finger: "Now, there are 217 members of the original Constituent Army and 503 Iron Harriers. They are in Xixia, all kinds of families. These 720 Xixia brothers are what you want. As for the other 400 unlucky guys without backgrounds, I don't want to use them to discuss business with you. I will throw them into the mountains to dig coal. Even if I'm exhausted, I won't bother you... Brother Lin, this time, it's mainly for these 720 people, right?"

Lin Houxuan's face was solemn and he didn't say anything.

"Seven hundred and twenty people are a big business. Brother Lin, you came for Li Ganshun, but to be honest, I have been hesitating whether I should sell these people to the Li family, the Liang family, or other people in need."

"Mr. Ning." Lin Houxuan said, "Is this threatening me?" His eyes were cold, with a righteous attitude, and he was never threatened.

"Of course yes. Don't threaten you, what business should I do? Do you think I'm giving porridge and doing good deeds?" Ning Yi looked at him, his tone was plain, and then he continued to return to the topic, "As I said before, I took Yanzhou, and you didn't kill all the people. Now, there are more than 30,000 people in the nearby territory. In a figurative way, these are 40,000 people who eat people. If you don't feed them, they will come to eat me!"

Ning Yi smiled coldly: "Why do you think I give food to the poor but not to the rich? How can I give food to the rich in time? I give food to the rich in time? They think it is appropriate to give it to the poor, that will save his life. Brother Lin, do you think that when you go to the battlefield, can the poor fight or can the rich fight? If the food shortage in the northwest cannot be solved by the end of this autumn, I will join forces with the Zhejiazhong family and take them across Hengshan and to Yinchuan to eat you!"

Lin Houxuan frowned and stood up suddenly: "Mr. Ning, the battle you fought on Dongzhiyuan is amazing. However, after the war, how many people do you still have? If you think that if I come like this, Xixia will be afraid of you. Then try to kill Hengshan!"

"Whether you are afraid or not, you can fight or not, it is one thing. Can you take them across Hengshan? It is another thing. The Chinese army that is not mentioned. I have a village of more than 20,000 people in Luliang. I can pull out even more than 10,000 people." Ning Yi's expression was also cold, "I am a businessman and hope for peace, but if there is no way to go, I can only fight one. This road will be broken to death. But when winter comes, I will definitely leave. How do I train troops? Just look at the Chinese army. I promise that the 30,000 to 50,000 people are enough. The Zhe family will definitely be willing to take advantage of the situation."

The room was silent and passed for a moment.

"The situation is so troublesome. This is a road, but of course. I have another road to go." Ning Yi spoke calmly, then paused.

"I can give you seven hundred and twenty people, so that you can use it to calm the domestic situation, and I can also sell it to others and let others destroy your platform. Of course, if you say, you are not threatened, you don't want these more than seven hundred people. If others take these more than seven hundred people, they will never make things difficult for you. Then I will cut off their heads immediately. Let your united Xixia live a happy life. Next, we will do a big fight in winter! As long as there are enough people dead, our food problem will be solved."

Lin Houxuan was silent for a while: "I am just a person who passes the message and has no right to nod, you..."

"I'll tell you your mother!!!"

Suddenly, a loud shout was like thunder, and it exploded in the room with a majestic aura. Lin Houxuan was also a foreshadowing in advance and spoke carefully. However, as soon as he said this, he had already seen the scholar opposite him look fierce and the cold murderous aura came to his face. Ning Yi picked up something and waved it out in the bang. At this moment, Lin Houxuan felt a chill in his ear, and the heavy copper incense burner flew over his left face, and a loud bang, smashing the cabinet in the corner of the wall behind.

In an instant, pieces of paper, dust flew, and wood chips splashed. Lin Houxuan shrank his head blankly. He didn't expect that a simple sentence would lead to such consequences. Someone rushed in outside the door, but then he heard Ning Yi's words: "Go out!" In this moment, Lin Houxuan felt almost a greater sense of majesty and oppression than the Golden Palace meeting Li Qianshun.

"After a while, you will die hundreds of thousands of people. You are here to treat it as a joke. You are just a messenger. You are just a messenger. You have to say it a few times in front of me! If Li Qianshun sent you here, it is really just a message, or a dog. I will write a letter to let it take you back! How about your small country in Xixia, you are compared to the Wu Dynasty? I saw Zhou Zhe for the first time and killed him like a dog! Dong Zhiyuan, Li Qianshun ran slower, and his head was now kicked by me as a ball! Lord Lin, you are the envoy of Xixia and shoulder the heavy responsibility of a country's rise and fall, so Li Qianshun sent you here. You pretend to be dead in front of me and ignore the life and death of the people of both sides, and I immediately asked someone to chop you up."

In this sentence, Ning Yi's figure slowly sat down behind the desk. Lin Houxuan's face was as pale as paper. Then he took two deep breaths and slowly bowed: "Yes, Houxuan was hasty, but..." He calmed down, but did not dare to look at the other party's eyes again. "However, our country's dispatch of a large army this time is also a waste of money and the food is not abundant now. If you want to redeem these 720 people, Mr. Ning will not let us take care of the food and drink of everyone in Yanzhou and even the northwest, right?"

"Since I am willing to call you over, there is naturally something to talk about, specific conditions, and every piece of it. I have already prepared a copy." Ning Yi opened the table and pulled out a thick stack of manuscripts. "If you want to redeem people, according to the rules of your tribe, you must give things. That is the first batch, including food, gold and silver, and everything you should ask you to pass the hurdle first. Then there are your benefits..."

Ning Yi kept saying: "The two sides hand over the goods in one hand, and then I naturally have to find a way to solve the food problem of both sides. Why do you need wars in all the tribes of your Party? You just need all kinds of good things. Now there is no need to fight in the northwest. Your emperor's foundation is unstable. You can stabilize it by redeeming these more than 700 people? It doesn't matter. I have a way to go. You cooperate with us to do business. We open up the markets of Tubo, Dali, Jin and even the Wu Dynasty. What do you want? Books, technology, silk and porcelain, tea? There are some in the south. It was an embargo at the beginning, but now I will get it for you."

"What are you in Xixia? Your green salt is good and cheap. At that time, Wu Chao did not do salt business with you. Now I will sell it for you. How much is sold every year and at any price, you can negotiate. There is not enough food? There is always enough, I can buy it with Tubo, Dali, and Jin. To be honest, you don't understand doing business and you are bullied every year. How was Liao in the past? It forced Wu Chao to pay tribute to annual monies every year. After turning around, Wu Chao could make all the money back."

"You can't fight now. Let's join forces. Whoever you have a good relationship with in China? They will give priority to transporting good things back. If they have anything to sell, we will help sell them. As long as they make it, won't you be stable? I can guarantee you that every household has a good relationship with you, and every household has countless silks, silks, and silks. If you want to make trouble, I will let them sleep without quilts... I will write these general matters in it, so you can take a look, and don't worry that I am talking nonsense."

"... Then, you can take it back and hand it over to Li Qianshun."

Ning Yi threw the thing to him. After Lin Houxuan heard it, his eyes gradually lit up. He lowered his head and took the manuscript to read. He heard Ning Yi's voice sound again: "But first of all, you have to show your sincerity."

Lin Houxuan raised his head and looked puzzled. Ning Yi came out from behind the desk: "When you hand over the person, return Qingzhou to me first."

Lin Houxuan frowned and wanted to speak, Ning Yi waved his hand and went out of the room.

"This is nothing to talk about. Gyeongju is now a useless person. It's a pity to abandon it. Why do you take it? Go back and chat with Li Qianshun, and then fight or harmony, you choose."

Outside the room, Ning Yi's footsteps were gone.

"I'll accept it." (To be continued.)
