Xuanmen Xiaoguo Shi is divination again

Chapter 785 Compensation
The young man's voice was extremely solemn and serious, upon hearing this, Xiao Miaotong turned her eyes and stared into his eyes for a long while, but couldn't hold back, and whispered "Yes".

As soon as Xiao Jue died, most of the Xiao family's wealth and power disappeared.

In addition, on the day of the old man's funeral, except for Xiao Hongze's brother and sister, there was no third descendant of the Xiao family who appeared at the funeral. All kinds of rumors and rumors about Xiao's residence also spread throughout the entire capital in the blink of an eye as if they had grown wings.

The old lady Fu passed the seventh day of the first lunar month, and the fourteenth day of the first lunar month was exactly his first seventh day. Emperor Yunjing thought of the kindness that the old man had taught him carefully for several years, and thought of his "three dynasties veteran, two generations of emperors". "Master" status, he simply canceled the palace banquet on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month every year to express his condolences.

It's just that the emperor changed his mind to consider that two months later, on the third day of March, there was still a great joy among the family members of the Tian family, and because of the war in northern Xinjiang, Beijing had not held the Shangyuan Palace banquet last year. Before the great joy, he should find an opportunity and an excuse to celebrate with everyone in the court and get rid of the bad luck of the old year.

So Emperor Yunjing discussed with a group of courtiers for a while, and finally postponed the Shangyuan Palace Banquet that was supposed to be held on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month for half a month, and pushed it to the day when the dragon raised its head on the second day of February.

This matter has now come to an end, everyone has set the time for the New Year's palace banquet, and they have never cared about the Xiao family and the Xiao residence.

On the [-]th day of the first lunar month, the lights in the central Beijing market were as bright as ever, but this year's Mu Xici and the others were not as leisurely as in previous years.

Several people in Prince Jin's Mansion were busy arguing that Luo would marry a bride in the spring of this year; Mu Xiyin locked herself in Liuxia Garden after the new year, and quietly embroidered the clothes she would wear when she got married; The few people in the restaurant are also busier than before.

Mo Junli took Li Yunchi with him, and the master and apprentice were doing morning and evening classes, practicing morning and evening exercises every day; even the brothers and sisters of the Zhan family began to think about how to rebuild their Jingyang of the Zhan family in the new year. Bofu.

In Fulanxuan's study room, Master Mu read the newly acquired letter word by word, and when she saw the last word on the paper, a relaxed and joyful smile suddenly appeared on her face.

"It's done." Mu Xici put down the letter paper in his hand with a chuckle, and exhaled like a sigh of relief, "It's finally done."

"Third Sister, what happened?" Mu Shiyao, who was reading the storybook opposite her and had a rare leisure time, raised her head in response, her slender eyebrows raised lightly, "It seems that I rarely see you so happy."

"That's naturally a good thing." Master Mu bent his eyes, stood up and shook his numb legs and feet, and smiled, "A Yan said in the letter he just delivered that Xishang has agreed to negotiate peace with Hanze, and They promised to redeem the prisoners captured by us at the price of 200 taels of silver per person."

"At the same time, Sister Ye has also discussed with her. They are willing to share half of the ransom money sent by the Western Merchants back to us as a reward for our previous donation."

"Really!" Mu Shiyao's eyes lit up when she heard this, "Then how much money does this cost?"

"Hmm..." Mu Xici closed her eyes and did a quick mental calculation, "Western Merchants sent a total of more than [-] troops that day, excluding the [-] people who died on the battlefield, and then excluding the war The [-] who unfortunately died of illness after the end..."

"Big sister Ye, about 400 people are still being held in Western merchants. Based on 200 taels of silver per person, that's 3608 million taels of silver, of which we can get 1804 million taels on average."

"1804 million taels! Then our military salary for the coming year will be guaranteed?" Mu Shiyao clapped her palms suddenly, but she couldn't help wilting after a while, "But... third sister, this is a full 360 million taels For the silver, can they Xishang take out the money so happily and willingly?"

"It's impossible to be happy, but they won't be unwilling." Mu Xici smiled, "After all, 200 taels of silver can't raise an elite army with rich combat experience..."

"If the Western Merchants want to re-raise such an elite army of nearly [-], at least they will have to spend tens of millions of taels of silver. Which is more expensive and which is cheap, which is more important, then the king of the Western Shang is not confused. Wait until that point."

"That's it." After hearing this, Mu Shiyao nodded thoughtfully, but her brows were tightly frowned, but she was slightly uncomfortable, "Then... Third sister, are we going to release those prisoners of war like this?"

"Wouldn't this be too easy? What if the people from Xishang get back their prisoners of war and immediately start a war against us at Ganping or Hanze?"

"For the time being, we definitely have to talk about morality—but morality doesn't mean that you can't do anything." Master Mu said, shrugging nonchalantly, "These more than 1 prisoners of war stayed in Hanze. It is also a waste of the rations that Sister Ye and the others have hoarded so easily, so it must be released."

"However, after they get out of Hanze and enter the Xishang area, whether they will encounter any 'accidents', that's for sure."

"As far as starting a war, A Yao, don't worry, they don't have the ability."

"360 million taels of silver is not unbearable for us Qianping, but for them Western merchants, taking it out will inevitably hurt their muscles and bones."

"In addition, when they negotiated peace with Hanze, they negotiated in the peace agreement to compensate Hanze for all kinds of bits and pieces... Once this matter is over, Xishang is doomed to be severely damaged. How dare they fight with us? Go to war?"

"——Even if we want to fight, at least we have to wait three years or two years, and wait until they have roughly recuperated before fighting."

"However, by that time, I guess the new firearms designed by my sister will have been popularized in my Mu family army." Yao, you have also seen it with your own eyes - do you think we will still be afraid of him by then?"

"Of course it's impossible." Mu Shiyao sneered, "I see, the bows and crossbows modified by the eldest sister are much more powerful than ordinary weapons, and besides, we were not afraid of him. ...It's just that the saintess should be a little more afraid."

"It's okay, Hanze has now become our vassal state of Qianping. If the Western Merchants dare to invade the border of Hanze, they are declaring war on Qianping—" Mu Da Guoshi raised his finger and said lightly, "Then the king of Western Shang If you can't think about it, just come and fight."

"It just so happened that I was worrying about how I would find an excuse to conquer the desert in the future."

In the previous life, Mu Xiuning lost his life in Xishang, and Mo Wanyan, who was always cute and cute, was also destroyed by the desert wind and sand for more than half of his life...

In this life, what she most wants to lead her troops to conquer is never Hanze in the north or Sangruo in the south. What she wants to level the most is the desert with yellow sand that can't be seen at a glance.

Mu Xici frowned and curled her fingertips slightly——she really wanted to pacify that damned desert as soon as possible, where the fate of the second brother and Le Wan should be there, she was really afraid that the tragedy of the previous life would be careless, and then A reenactment was in front of her.

"In short..." The little girl closed her eyes and let out a long breath. She was about to say a few more words to Mu Shiyao, but Lingqin suddenly appeared outside the study door.

"Miss, Miss Xiao is here, do you want to go out and meet?"
