Listening to Jia Zhou's words, Xu Mu nodded. Just like him, every time he started a new life in order to fight his way out, it was difficult every step of the way.
In troubled times, heroes emerge in large numbers.
Xu Mu doesn't think that he will definitely reach the end and reach the ninth place. His biggest reliance is nothing more than some modern people's ideas, but these things, at a grand scale, are not as good as those of Simujia who has been around for hundreds of years.
The monster he came out of was not afraid of him at all. If it weren't for Jia Zhou, he would have been tricked to death.
Not to mention Dong Wen, not even Zuo Shiren, Su Yaohou, Chang Shilang, or even the many heroes of the separatist regime, no one is a fool. As long as you fall, you will immediately fall into eternal disaster.
Even if he has the resources to reproduce some modern technologies, such as flintlocks and matchlocks, he only needs to suffer a loss once. A person like Lianghu will definitely be able to see the secret. Choose to fight on a rainy day, or do everything possible
Methods also replicate technology.
The progress of an era cannot be completed by a single person.
"What are you thinking about, my lord?"
"Nothing." Xu Mu frowned, "As for the Shu brocade matter, we just need to stabilize the civil unrest in the past few days, and there will be basically no problem."
"This is natural. However, my lord is about to start preparing for a war. Time does not wait for us."
"That's what I have in mind. At the end of the year, let the Shuzhou generals return to Chengdu to report on their duties and have a big banquet."
Judging from the current situation, it is unlikely that Liangzhou will launch an expedition against Shu when winter is about to begin. But that is not to say that there is no chance. The relative probability is relatively small.
Of course, it doesn't matter if you come. Xu Mu has arranged manpower at all outposts outside Shuzhou.
"Wenlong, I'm already ready."
"If my lord defeats Liang, he will first dominate the land to the west. Then, with the power of a great victory, he will join forces to attack Cangzhou. In this way, my lord's great cause will begin to look forward."
Xu Mu clenched his fists and had a vision of beautiful mountains and rivers before his eyes.
"Wenlong, when the cold breaks, you and I will sit in front of Liangzhou City and drink together all night."
"I would like to follow my lord."
…
In less than three days, whether it was in central Shu, western Shu, or southern Shu, the official list of Xu Mu's confession was posted. The content on the official list made the weaving merchants and sericulture households who were originally a little depressed, expressions.
It has become much more relaxed.
Fortunately, before they had to push away the fields and plant mulberry trees, their king allowed them to go to southern Shu for development. Therefore, the losses were not big. In fact, in this wave, the profits were pretty good. It’s just that Shu brocade
The price difference only made them unhappy for a while.
For many years, Shuzhou has not had such an opportunity to become wealthy.
On the streets of Chengdu, Si Hu led a tall horse and immediately tied up three or four old gangsters who were doing evil. He wanted to take advantage of the chaos to rob them, but Si Hu beat them unconscious and took them all back.
"Exchange steamed buns for my wife," he said to everyone he met.
Standing outside the palace, Xu Mu glanced down and saw his brother's silly look, and was speechless again.
"My lord's original preparations have caused these silkworm farmers not to suffer much loss, so they won't have any big complaints. It's just some villains who took advantage of the situation."
"Got it." Xu Mu sighed.
When he took over Shuzhou, in the eyes of many people, he was somewhat like a dove occupying a magpie's nest. Therefore, in Shuzhou, he always implemented benevolent policies and united the Xu family troops as Shu people.
What is helpless is that although the previous Dou family royal family has perished, there are still many die-hard loyalists who remain dormant in Shuzhou.
This time the Shu Brocade disaster happened, everyone thought they saw an opportunity and suddenly jumped out.
"What do you plan to do, my lord?"
"The mastermind will be beheaded in public, and the remaining people will be temporarily imprisoned until the war between Shuliang and Shuzhou is over before they are expelled from Shuzhou."
Jia Zhou nodded, "Most of them are former officials and generals of the Dou family. There will be problems if they surrender."
Xu Mu was worried that there should be such people. He could only ask Sun Xun to lead people and find ways to continue to find them.
"Outside Bailu County, Dou Tong replied to the letter. He said that 90% of those Shu brocade buyers disappeared in almost three days."
The meaning of Jia Zhou's words is already very obvious. If there is no mistake, Lianghu should have been secretly sent by Lianghu in an attempt to stir up trouble in Shuzhou.
Fortunately, he took precautions.
If the people in Liangzhou knew about it, they would probably be very upset, right?
…
"Commander, I'm very unhappy." Dong Wen wanted to scold his mother, but because Sima Xiu was not around, he had to worry about etiquette.
What surprised Dong Wen was that there was no trace of frustration on Sima Xiu's face.
"My lord, I said it before. This is a plan. Regarding the Shu Brocade, it's best if it succeeds. If it doesn't succeed, lord, don't be too sad. Let me tell you good news. Repairs have begun on the other side of the trail. Send it back.
I looked at the information carefully, and I can actually add one more trick."
"One more count?"
"Of course." Sima Xiu smiled lightly. He was not shocked because of the Shu Brocade incident.
"Military advisor, that Shu brocade is worth hundreds of thousands taels of silver..."
"My lord." Sima Xiu finally raised his head and sighed, "My lord, you must understand that whether it is Shu Brocade or anything else, it is my lord's means to attack Liangzhou."
"Under the Shu brocade, another plan has been completed. This cannot be considered a failure. However, Xu Buyi's methods are really good. I am more and more suspicious that that person may not be dead."
Dong Wen was still a little depressed.
When he was a child, he would feel unhappy if he was not assigned tangerines. Now that he has been taken away hundreds of thousands of taels for no reason, even though he said it loudly before, he is very hurt in his heart.
"The Qi army is perfectly deployed, and the ambushing army in Shuzhou, my disciple, finally replied to the letter, saying that he has begun to contact the Dou family's old party, and we should cooperate internally and externally."
"Over in Cangzhou, I tried to send envoys."
Dong Wen delegated power to others, and Sima Xiu was in charge of matters such as envoy intelligence.
"That queen can't be trusted." Dong Wen frowned. Liangzhou had been tricked before. The son of the Dong family who was sent there was so frightened that he tried to escape secretly, but was shot dead on the road.
Already.
Of course, the death of one clan member is no big deal, and the death of ten or eight more members is no big deal either.
Dong Wen was just unhappy, simply unhappy.
"My lord, you must understand that no matter whether you are a hunter in the South Mountain or a hunter in the North Mountain, they all have one purpose: to kill the wolf in the mountain."
"That Queen Su met with my envoy from Liangzhou."
"How to say?"
"I didn't say anything and let the envoy go back."
Dong Wen was startled, "What is this?"
"She was probably telling me that she was willing to meet. If she didn't meet, she would have given up on the idea of cooperation. In fact, she also understood that if Xu Buyi defeated Liangzhou, his next target would definitely be the Cangzhou royal family."
"Military advisor, I feel that we still cannot cooperate."
Sima Mao shook his head, "It's not cooperation. I just need her to help Liangzhou and hold back the reinforcements from Muyun Province. If we cut off this reinforcement, Liangzhou's chances of winning will increase by at least 30%."
"What does she want?"
"If my lord is interested, send an envoy to send thousands of pieces of Shu brocade. Of course, even if she doesn't give it, I believe she will take action."
"To kill the wolf in the middle of the mountain, the two hunters can cooperate again. However, judging from what happened last time, I guess the plot of this strange woman will be very scary. It doesn't matter, if one day
I am so powerful in Liangzhou that I occupy all the rice warehouses in Shuzhou. Even the king of Yuzhou in the inner city is not afraid."
"Military advisor, I find that you are getting more and more extraordinary."
"Those who seek the world should be good at seeking people's hearts." Sima Xiu said calmly.
