"Boy! The invention of the car and the use of animal power are definitely enough for you to improve the first-class baron! Do you want to directly reward or accumulate it like last time!" Dingbei Hou asked seriously.
"This..." Jiang Xingchen pondered for a moment. Of course, he wanted to explode after accumulation, just like last time. In this way, he could not only upgrade but also expand his territory again.
However, after the two events of the New Year singing and dancing performances and the food festival, I must have become a thorn in the side of the imperial management department. Even if I want to accumulate, it may not be easy.
"Boy! Although it's easy to explode at one time, this time it's not easy. Once there is no movement here, the imperial management department will definitely propose that all major territories are waiting to be promoted! Then they will directly write to the Emperor and ask you for rewards. Everything is reasonable and no one can stop it..." Seeing Jiang Xingchen pondering, Dingbei Hou explained.
Jiang Xingchen frowned and said, "Since that's the case, let's wait a little longer. Anyway, they will also promote me to a first-class baron by then!"
Dingbei Hou raised his hand and patted Jiang Xingchen on the head, saying, "Who told you that they would grant you a first-class baron, a large number of wealth, a false position in the Empire, or even a name for you at the Imperial Academy... You are only seventeen years old, saying that you have too little qualifications to avoid you being anxious and arrogant. For your future development, there are many big hats, and it is too easy to suppress you."
"That's how..." Jiang Xingchen was a little helpless. How could a noble management department have such great power!
"Boy, I know what you are thinking. Isn't it just to develop your territory into a small town? Then you have to be promoted to the third-class viscount, you must go through the first-class baron... Even if you continue to accumulate, you will never be able to upgrade to two levels, expand your territory outside, and improve your territory administration!"
Jiang Xingchen nodded, thought for a moment, frowned and said, "I understand! However, I still think about waiting. Even if the noble management department mentions this matter, at least it will take until after the autumn harvest! Let's just hurry before the autumn harvest... In addition, even if we cannot achieve our goal in one step, we can upgrade and expand together!"
"This kid is really stubborn. Just walk all the way to the dark..." Dingbei Hou sighed inwardly, and then thought, Jiang Xingchen was right. Before the autumn harvest, he would just not report it. There was no excuse for the noble management department.
"Okay! Let's just drag it for two months... what do you have..." As soon as Dingbei Hou said something, the door knocked, and Tang Chuxue walked in.
Tang Chuxue didn't say anything else, and immediately explained Luo Yu's affairs to Jiang Xingchen. The problem of orc vegetables is solved earlier, the better. This is a major event involving the alliance between the two sides.
After hearing this, Jiang Xingchen couldn't help but say a secret praise. Although Luo Yu was a pure foodie, he was really beautiful and was completely flawless. It was injustice to talk to herself about such a big thing. It was even more impossible to use the imperial pressure. It would be different if she found Tang Chuxue. Her identity was enough to bear such big things. When it comes to the safety of the empire, Tang Chuxue was of course obliged to do so.
Dingbei Hou had heard of it and looked solemn. The impact of this incident on the empire is indeed greater than that on the Orc Alliance! Once the orcs defect to Xuanyuan Tianzong, it would be a big trouble.
"What happened to the Great Qin Kingdom?" Dingbei Hou frowned and his face was gloomy.
"I'll ask! But I can't guarantee... If something really happened to the Qin Kingdom and I really couldn't sell it to orc vegetables, then I'm also powerless!"
As Jiang Xingchen said, he picked up a pen and wrote a letter to Qin Manwu. He could grow vegetables himself, but he had no problem with eating it himself. He should just serve the Orc Alliance! That would take the whole empire to move. Even if he could solve the problem of vegetable seeds, how could he explain it to the outside world? If he secretly exposed himself, he would be sliced and studied if he didn't do it well.
"You have to tell the empire immediately about this matter, and no matter what, you cannot let them go to Xuanyuan Tianzong!" said Dingbei Hou.
"Now Jiang Xingchen has sent a letter to the Tianxia Commercial Bank, so it doesn't matter. Contact us in advance to find out the reason, and the empire will not force down... I will notify the Marshal!" Tang Chuxue nodded and left the house.
"Boy! This time it's a good opportunity to solve this problem..." A light flashed in Dingbei Hou's eyes.
"I know! But I have to figure out what's going on!" Jiang Xingchen smiled bitterly and shook his head. Dingbei Hou seemed even more anxious than him.
The Marquis of Dingbei easily understood the meaning of the emperor not being anxious from Jiang Xingchen's eyes. He was immediately furious and raised his hand and knocked it over...
The letter he wrote was sent away overnight. Luo Yu did not stop after talking about the matter. He thanked Jiang Xingchen and left in a hurry.
After a bustling noise, the entire mountain village seemed to have returned to peace, but many people did not sleep in the dark night. Dingbei Hou, Tang Chuxue, and Jiang Xingchen were all thinking about the orc alliance. After all, this news came too suddenly and the impact was too great.
Jiang Xingchen did not even use the breathing method to develop the formation. First, he did have something to do in his mind, and secondly, he was worried that the range of influence on the outside world's vitality would attract the attention of the old man and the others.
There was nothing to say all night. The next morning, Mo Hongxian and Zhao Danqing each led the mercenary group back to Hongyuan City. The village returned to normal. The craftsmen continued to build houses, the villagers went to the fields to work, and Jiang Xingchen began to make beehives.
Tang Chuxue and Dingbei Hou did not leave, which made the others a little strange. They didn't know what the conversation was last night.
For a whole day, Jiang Xingchen made more than a dozen beehives and placed them with the kitten girl on the hillside behind.
When they returned, Qin Manwu's letter finally arrived.
I couldn't wait to open it, and Dingbei Hou, Tang Chuxue, and the old man all came over.
"So that's how it is!" Seeing the content of the letter, Dingbei Hou and Tang Chuxue immediately frowned. The letter said that there was a problem with the largest salt mine in the Great Qin Kingdom. The salt dug out now is all bitter salt and cannot be eaten at all!
Now Xuanyuan Tianzong proposed that he could give the Qin Empire salt, but he demanded that a large number of winter vegetables be exchanged, and asked the world's trading firm to withdraw from the desert line.
"Just this question?" Jiang Xingchen was completely different from Dingbei Hou and Tang Chuxue, and seemed a little dissatisfied.
"Oh?" Tang Chuxue raised his eyebrows and asked in surprise: "Do you have any solution?"
"We just need to supply salt to the Great Qin Kingdom! Do we have to use Xuanyuan Tianzong?" Jiang Xingchen said with a smile.
"Is this what you thought of?" Dingbei Hou had a strange expression on his face.
"Yes! What's wrong?" Jiang Xingchen asked with a blink of an eye.
"Don't you know that a small part of the salt in our Qiankun Empire is to be purchased from the Great Qin Kingdom?"
"Uh! That's it..." Jiang Xingchen was speechless and cursed in his heart: "The Xuanyuan Tianzong wants whatever he wants, why is the Qiankun Empire so poor? There's nothing he wants..."
While wailing in his heart, Jiang Xingchen asked, "Where is the orc alliance, where are the other three neutral kingdoms?"
"You are usually very smart, why are you stupid now?" The old man gently patted Jiang Xingchen's head and smiled: "If other countries can produce so much salt, will the Great Qin Kingdom cut off the vegetables from the Orc Alliance? Will the deal with Xuanyuan Tianzong?"
Jiang Xingchen was so embarrassed that he was so educated by the old man that he could not hold back. He slapped his hand off and said loudly: "Qin Manwu wrote that the World Commerce Bank had not made a final decision on the desert issue. This shows that the Great Qin Kingdom has not reached an agreement with Xuanyuan Tianzong!"
"Hmph!" the old man sneered: "So what? No one can solve the problem of salt in the Great Qin Kingdom now!"
"Who said that it can't be solved? Isn't it just mineral salt..." Jiang Xingchen waved his hand and said.
"What, do you have any solutions?" the old man laughed.
"Uh!" Jiang Xingchen suddenly realized that he seemed to have been fooled by this old guy.
At this time, Dingbei Hou and Tang Chuxue also looked over and understood the old man's meaning. Although he was suspicious of Jiang Xingchen's ability to solve the salt problem, over the past few days, he has repeatedly shown magical things and almost nothing can be solved.
There was already a glimmer of hope, but when they heard Jiang Xingchen being so excited by the old man that he wanted to make a bold statement, the two of them immediately showed expectation.
"That...there are some things about mineral salt..." Jiang Xingchen stammered. He said halfway through the bold words, and then he remembered that this was not the earth. He didn't know whether the filtering method and the crystallization method had any effect. If you don't let it go, it would be troublesome!
"Boy!" As if seeing Jiang Xingchen's hesitation, the old man smiled and said seriously: "No matter whether it succeeds or not, you have to try it. This is a major event related to the entire empire!"
Dingbei Hou also nodded and said, "If this matter can be accomplished, this credit will be greater than your financial statistics form!"
"Jiang Xingchen, this matter has been resolved! I will contact the commanders of several armies to ask for your contributions from the emperor!" Tang Chuxue also said.
Jiang Xingchen was speechless. I didn't say anything. I just made half of my bold statements. Are you as for this? I put all my hopes on me. Do you know that I am under a lot of pressure?
Although he thought this way, it is undeniable that he was already moved! If the credit was made, plus the cart, it would be fine to expand the territory a little... Maybe, it could solve the population problem.
"Okay!" Jiang Xingchen nodded and said, "I'll try it, but I can't guarantee it!"
"You guys try it, there is usually no time to fail!" The old man said in his heart, looking at Tang Chuxue and Dingbei Hou, both of whom showed relief smiles.
At the same time, in the capital of the Great Qin Kingdom, Qin Manwu still looked helpless!
