Space peasant girl: madly criticizing Xianggong for being weak and bullying

Chapter 439 Nemesis
He remembered that this matter was also brought up by the Xiao family and the third prince. What is it called "re-employment of veterans", his mother dared not speak out.

The Xiao family and the third prince of Daxia are their nemesis, right?

"People have to bow their heads under the eaves. Now, you all understand the reason why this king is dormant in Daxia?"

The envoys had to admit that there seemed to be something in Daxia today.

Chi Ernan asked: "The land dedicated to Daxia, there must be no problems, right?"

The envoys nodded and lowered their voices: "Don't worry, the eldest prince and the third prince have checked it out to make sure everything is safe. The land given to Daxia is absolutely worthless. It's so barren that even we despise it!"

"But we still have an excuse—it's closer to Daxia!"

"We even prepared an alternative plan, which is to reduce part of the iron ore and exchange it for another city connected to that place."

What is a city, but a wasteland where no bird shits, how can it be as important as the iron mines they have saved over the years?

At the eaves, an overly quiet bird participated in this secret conversation, but no one knew it, except...

Xiaoxiao was lying on the lawn of the space, and kicked Rong Yan who was beside her: "I just said why the space suddenly opened up iron ore veins for me."

"It's actually Da Xia's cheat, right?"

Space hummed dissatisfied.

The next day, the ferocious envoy really put forward the request of exchanging land for mines. The emperor and ministers were hesitant. Expanding the territory is a temptation that no dynasty can refuse, but ferocious iron mines are not only the offerings of the defeated country. .

At the same time, it is also an important prerequisite for drawing from the bottom of the pot and ensuring that Jihu will keep his own place in the days to come.

While the court was hesitating who should be in charge of the follow-up negotiations, the wandering Lu Chen brought Ning Ansheng, who had lost a lot of weight, back to the capital.

The emperor was overjoyed, and immediately entrusted him with an important task, and Lu Chen also did his part and took over the task.

I don't know if it was to appease the Gu family who is also a model scholar, the emperor also handed over the errand of the next imperial examination to Gu Dashi.

The two scholars who were said to be uncomfortable had no communication in the court, but no one knew that after the court, at dinner, they were sitting together at the dining table of Xiao's family, toasting and drinking.

"I haven't seen you for many years, but brother Gu's demeanor is still the same as before!"

"Brother Lu is the one, his dedication to learning is the same as before, Gu admires him!"

Xiaoxiao and Gu Changan were in charge of serving the food, and the monkey head of Yubi was also deeply loved by Lu Chen. After he wrote a few sentences and ate them himself, he admired him sincerely: "Not to mention, you granddaughter, you are really envious of others!"

Speaking of this, Master Gu is not modest: "Indeed."

Dean Lu was stunned for a moment, and then smiled: "I just like Brother Gu's cheerfulness, come, drink!"

The two with the longest seniority had a drink, and no one could persuade them. All Xiaoxiao could do was add water to their wine jars and ask her brother to keep it a secret.

Needless to say, Ning Ansheng didn't agree with the teacher's drinking too much. It's bad for your health. This old man, no, this old man's wine quality is really not very good, and the aftermath process is a headache.

It is not uncommon for him to eat and sleep in the open on the way to school, but when he sees his teacher drinking, his brain suddenly hurts.

"Brother, do you think Daxia should agree to Jihu's request?"

Ning Ansheng pulled his mind back from the picture of the teacher playing crazy when he was studying: "You mean, exchange land for iron ore?"

Ning Ansheng originally thought it was inappropriate, fierce and ambitious, if they stopped their retreat, God knows when these people will make a comeback again, but if his sister asked that.

"Do you have other considerations?" He can listen first.

Xiaoxiao pulled Rong Yan up, and put on a serious face: "Brother, actually, there is another mystery behind those two lands."

Ning Ansheng would like to hear the details. He thought about all kinds of possibilities, such as where the land is large and sparsely populated, which is suitable for grazing, or where the soil is fertile and can be cultivated, but he never thought that his sister would say——

"Actually, when I was in the border town, my little brother's people were there and saw a mineral vein that was suspected to have not been discovered yet."

This is a big deal, after Ning Ansheng and his sister confirmed it again and again, they decisively took away the teacher's wine glass.

Dean Lu originally wanted to express his dissatisfaction, but after hearing a few words from his disciples, those eyes that were soaked in alcohol immediately returned to clarity.

Not only him, but all the dinner participants looked over.

"Why didn't you say something so important earlier?"

Xiaoxiao innocently shrugged her shoulders, while Xiao Ran said: "Actually, Yan'er told me about it after the court, but there were so many people at that time, if the vicious people knew about it, they wouldn't honestly hand over the land. So I thought about having a detailed discussion with Dean Lu tonight."

I never thought that before all the dishes were served, he and Master Gu couldn't stop with just one cup for you and one cup for me.

If it weren't for the fact that they drank too much, everyone actually planned to mention it after dinner.

"People are like iron and rice is steel. If you don't eat a meal, you will feel hungry. This matter can't be explained in a few words, so let's eat first."

Of course Xiaoxiao said this.

After learning about Jihu's plan, she and Rong Yan worked together to make things up, ah no, it's all over.

It is said that while stationed at the border to catch the spies of Jihu, I found a cave by chance. I felt that the landform looked like the mine vein mentioned in the book. Later, I attacked Jihu and passed by. Seeing that it was unguarded, I sealed the mountain .

Apparently the fierce barbarian himself had missed that precious land, and now he thinks he's smart enough to use it as a condition.

"It can be seen that this is a trick that the fierce man racked his brains to come up with, then we have to give people face and make things difficult." After saying this, Dean Lu followed his words, making the fierce man think it was a plan several times After failing, he agreed to exchange land for mines "for free".

However, Xiaoxiao didn't intend to let them bring the iron ore that the veterans worked so hard to bring back to Jihu.

After all, although the ore veins are good, they still need to be mined, but the tribute paid by the fierce barbarians is different. They can be directly processed into weapons, which is convenient and trouble-free.

Chi Ernan's stay in Daxia was not entirely to escape the responsibility for the defeat, he also wanted to make a comeback and make a comeback.

Of course, he couldn't do it alone, so he asked the prince to help.

The prince was having a headache with the dried vegetables that he had worked so hard to get. No, the dehydrated vegetable recipes were not as valuable as they imagined. Since Chi Ernan sent them to their door, he naturally had no reason to refuse.

The Yan family spent a lot of manpower and material resources on dehydrated vegetables, but apart from making a fortune when they first launched this product, no one cares about it afterwards.

That's right, as long as there are fresh vegetables to eat, who would be happy to buy those dried vegetables?
He felt that Xiao Ran had tricked him, but they had no evidence, so they could only swallow this dumb loss.

In fact, the prince has long been annoyed by Chi Ernan - this person has more than failed to succeed, and when he comes to Daxia, he always threatens him with the past.

The money is demanded one after another, when he is a bank?

Seeing that the third child has been in high spirits recently, he was very upset!
