There was a cold breeze, and the green smoke in the incense burner began to change in the wind. The two phoenixes combed their feathers for a long time, jumped off the screen, and landed steadily on their sycamore bird frames.
For these two bird ancestors, they still like the bow-shaped bird frame made from the heart of the sycamore tree.
The big flower behind the screen made the snoring sound even louder. I don’t know what sweet dream it was having, but it was probably related to the big-boned stick.
Xiao Shizhu, who was in front of the screen, picked up his teapot.
This kettle has been used for many years, and the color and luster have already reached the previous level, so he still can't bear to throw it away. Everything except Jiuyou Kingdom requires money, and he saves money when he can. Just because of this kettle,
It was the first thing the ghost mother gave him.
Na Chenruo also walked in with hot tea, served tea to Lu Wu and Chun Yun respectively, and then left, so that Xiao Shizhu and the others could talk about business.
Xiao Shizhu's proposal to reorganize the Gongren Division was nothing more than taking advantage of the Northern Yin Dynasty's lack of understanding of Jiuyou's internal affairs. Jiuyou Kingdom has implemented a policy that all walks of life must not be abandoned easily. A ghost can work part-time, but not at will.
And unreasonable waste and abuse of resources. Unless you can no longer do it and you can choose to change careers, it is illegal to give up your main business at will.
For example, workers and craftsmen can change jobs when their wages can be paid on time and in quantity, but they cannot go on strike or be absent from work for no reason. For example, farmers, if the land distributed to them by the court does not encounter natural disasters or man-made disasters, they can be abandoned at will and allowed to grow wildly.
If it doesn't work, it's also a violation of Jiuyou's law.
It's okay for merchants, after all, they have a lot of choices. They can do more kinds of business and open up businesses in all walks of life. However, merchants can't just idle their shops and let them gather dust behind closed doors. Unless they lose money and go bankrupt.
, can do this, but at this time the court will give the businessman a sum of money to take back the property that he can no longer continue to operate.
This is just to ensure that Jiuyou Country is rich in resources and has sufficient reserves to cope with all kinds of changes and sudden wars.
In addition, after the Jiuyou Kingdom's army was equipped with a large number of firearms, there were even fewer ghosts who could make the Jiuyou Bow.
Nowadays, the ghosts who can make Jiuyou Bow are basically hunters in the mountains and some craftsmen who made a living by making bows and arrows.
Moreover, those craftsmen have now changed careers, making the craftsmanship of Jiuyou Bow almost on the verge of being lost.
Therefore, as long as Xiao Shizhu gathered a few craftsmen together and negotiated prices to cooperate with them, he could join forces to make money from the Northern Yin Dynasty, and at the same time, the land would not be abandoned and farming would stop production.
This is even more vicious than the plan the Ghost Mother said to seize evidence from the Northern Yin Dynasty.
The Beiyin Dynasty wanted to kill people without any blood, and Xiao Shizhu also wanted to kill people without blood. The Beiyin Dynasty wanted to lose money, and Xiao Shizhu couldn't ask for it.
Moreover, Xiao Shizhu could see from this that the Northern Yin Dynasty had no spies in the central and confidential places in the Jiuyou Kingdom court.
Today in the Northern Yin Dynasty, people don’t even know some of the operating methods and some basic policies of the Jiuyou Kingdom. The plots designed may look menacing, but in fact there are still countless loopholes.
"I want to work with those craftsmen who can also make Jiuyou Bow..." Xiao Shizhu took a sip of tea, smacked his mouth, and said: "Let's win together.".
Xiao Shizhu has never been very selfish, of course, with the exception of his enemies. Therefore, the problems and strategies he thinks of always get a lot of responses, and this time is no exception.
But when Chun Yun and Lu Wu heard this, they both had a premonition that this time it was another game between the Nine Nether Kingdom and the enemy country. They also felt that there was an evil person behind this man who paid a lot of money to ask for a bow.
Although they don't know that the Northern Yin Dynasty is secretly behind this matter, and they haven't yet figured out the whole conspiracy behind it, but they all know that pie will not fall from the sky.
Good things that happen suddenly are not necessarily good luck.
"I will immediately give the order, and then it will be spread throughout the country tonight." After realizing this, Chun Yun also took a sip of the tea, and quickly nodded to Xiao Shizhu: "I guarantee that from today on, there will definitely be no
No ghost can make the Nine Nether Bow without permission anymore."
"I will immediately send people to count the number of craftsmen everywhere who can make Jiuyou Bow, and then summon them together." Then Lu Wu took over the words and said to Xiao Shizhu: "In ten days, at most within ten days, the bow will be made."
The company can be rebuilt."
"We need to take a two-pronged approach. While gathering these craftsmen to reorganize the Gongren Division, we prohibit the private manufacture and sale of Jiuyou Bows." Xiao Shizhu agreed and then ordered Chunyun and Lu Wu: "Then the Gongren Division will be responsible.
Sell Jiuyou Bow, but don't reveal that we have this department. Give half of the profit earned by the court to Ah San, and I will tell him to use the money to do what he should do.
.”.
"Understood." Chun Yun and Lu Wu put down their tea cups and quickly stood up.
They did not wonder what Xiao Shizhu wanted Ah San to do. They just bowed to Xiao Shizhu and the ghost mother. After Xiao Shizhu made a gesture indicating that they could retreat, they slowly withdrew and went to do what Xiao Shizhu did.
What Shizhu told me is gone.
"What do you want Ah San to do with the money?" After Chun Yun and Lu Wu left, Ghost Mother stopped writing and looked at her husband, Xiao Shizhu, who had sat up straight and picked up the pen. After frowning and thinking for a moment,
The ghost mother said thoughtfully: "You want to retaliate with tooth?".
Xiao Shizhu did not deny it, but did not speak either. He just smiled and raised his index finger, gently touched it to his lips, made a shushing gesture, and continued to read the notebook at hand.
Seeing that he was pretending to be mysterious, the ghost mother smiled knowingly and sighed: "If I were in the Northern Yin Dynasty, I would never mess with a scoundrel like you."...
Dark clouds covered the sky and the light of the overcast sun on the top of Qingqiu Mountain. The space between heaven and earth was dark and gloomy.
The gloomy wind brought pouring rain from the sky. The rain and fog dispersed in the darkness, and the mountains and mountains were covered with fog.
The Qingqiu Mountain was shrouded in rain and fog, making it hazy. The grottoes, flying towers and plank roads on the mountain were all looming in the rain and fog.
On this mountain, behind the plank road around the mountain, there are grottoes of various sizes on the cliffs. In a grotto built in the mountain to the north, there are twelve golden pillars, supporting the arch in the middle of the grotto.
The roof is flat on all sides.
In the middle of the depth, there is a memorial table, and behind it is a golden lacquered dragon chair throne, and a gilt screen. The flying dragon eyes on the dragon chair are all made of bright agate. They are magnificent and extremely luxurious.
On both sides of the table in front are a pair of pavilion-style incense burners, also made of pure gold.
Just these few utensils cost thousands of kilograms of gold. They were so extravagant that even Xiao Shizhu didn't dare to waste them like this.
But Qingqiu Fox King just likes to talk about ostentation in secret. This kind of place where only he and the ministers come, it is even more important to show the dignity that Qingqiu Fox King should have as a ghost king.
It would be difficult for the Qingqiu Fox King to realize his identity if he didn't use high-quality gold to build the throne under his Qingqiu Fox King's buttocks, the memorial table and the incense burner in front of him, and the screen behind him.
Superior to others.
At this moment, the closed door of the grotto tightly blocked the wind and rain from the grotto. The warmth in the grotto was diffuse, it was relatively comfortable, and there was no coldness at all.
Moreover, there is no minister from the Qingqiu Fox Kingdom here, only the Qingqiu Fox King and one of his personal slaves.
The palace slave was standing aside, and the Qingqiu Fox King was sitting on the soft brocade cushions on the throne, reading the letter in his hand.
That was a secret message sent from Jiuyou Kingdom by his younger brother Hu Lan.
What the letter said was that the envoys from Jiuyou Kingdom were about to arrive in Qingqiu Fox Kingdom, and that King Jiuyou invited King Qingqiu Fox to visit Jiuyou Kingdom as a guest. And what Hu Lan wrote in the letter was very clear, for example
He cited the advantages of Qingqiu Fox King's trip, and also mentioned in his heart that the advantages of this trip must outweigh the disadvantages.
Qingqiu Fox Prince carefully studied Hu Lan's autograph letter and fell into deep thought.
The wind outside the door became louder and the rainstorm became faster and more intense.
No matter how tightly the doors and windows were closed, the slightest sound of wind and rain still drifted in.
Amidst the sound of wind and rain, Qingqiu Fox King put down the letter in his hand, and was thinking secretly in the darkness about whether to go to Jiuyou Kingdom or not.
In fact, there is no harm in going to Jiuyou Country. Qingqiu Fox King and his younger brother Hu Lan have made it very clear. They can use this to confuse Jiuyou Country and make Jiuyou King still maintain trust in Qingqiu Fox Country.
More importantly, if the Qingqiu Fox King goes, Tu Yaoqing can survive. Tu Yaoqing, the abandoned son of the Qingqiu Fox Kingdom, will be reactivated and slowly regain its promising effect.
If Tu Yaoqing is more than just an abandoned child and has a greater role for the Qingqiu Fox Kingdom, then the Qingqiu Fox King is willing to give it a try so that she can play a more important role in the future.
Based on this alone, Qingqiu Fox King has already made plans to visit Jiuyou Country.
But he still has the slightest worry, worried that this trip will be a premeditated settlement of accounts by Jiuyou Kingdom?
After all, he didn't know the ghost, but he, the Qingqiu Fox King, knew that he and his ghost country, as allies and tributaries of the Jiuyou Kingdom, actually did a lot of things to harm the Jiuyou Kingdom behind Xiao Shizhu's back.
In addition to secretly reselling and smuggling the special minerals of Jiuyou Kingdom, Qingqiu Fox King also secretly colluded with Fengdu Beiyin Dynasty, and had planned to use the ghost cannon and army sent by Beiyin Dynasty as soon as the rainy season in Dongyingzhou passed.
, turned against the Jiuyou Kingdom, and expelled the Jiuyou Army from Dongyingzhou, so that the Qingqiu Fox King could dominate the country.
Thinking of this, Qingqiu Fox King, who had a guilty conscience, picked up Hu Lan's autographed letter and read it carefully.
This time he read very slowly. He wanted to read every word, word and sentence carefully several times.
Soon, Qingqiu Fox King fell into a trance.
After reading the letter over and over a dozen times, Qingqiu Fox King finally made up his mind. When he put down the letter in his hand, he had already decided to go to Jiuyou Country.
Just because Hu Lan wrote in the letter: If the Qingqiu Fox King happily goes to the Jiuyou Kingdom after being invited, it will deepen Xiao Shizhu's trust in the Qingqiu Fox Kingdom.
This also has the effect of gaining preparation time and surprise for the betrayal operation that Qingqiu Fox Country is about to launch after the rainy season, so that it can catch them off guard.
Hu Lan expected that as long as the trust between Jiuyou Kingdom and Xiao Shizhu was deepened, as long as the Qingqiu Fox Kingdom's secret actions were not exposed, he would still foolishly count the money to the Qingqiu Fox King after selling Xiao Shizhu.
.
Of course Qingqiu Fox King would do such a good thing, not to mention it would be profitable. It would be a pity for Qingqiu Fox King not to do it.
Just as he was folding and putting away his brother Hu Lan's letters, the door suddenly opened and a strong wind rushed in from the rain.
Crossing the threshold with Da Feng was a green-haired fox ghost dressed in brocade.
The young fox ghost looked happy and strode towards Qingqiu Fox King. He said loudly: "Father, the envoys from Jiuyou Kingdom have arrived and want to see you." (To be completed.)
