Chapter 336 Big changes in the capital

Zhuge Jinyu first learned that a riot had occurred in Qionghua City, and then discovered that the cause of the riot was because Hua Furong used human lives to practice Gu, and he was so angry that he smashed a teacup.

Before he could send troops to suppress the rebellion, Dayu's envoys entered the territory of Xia.

Zhuge Jinyu had to cheer up and prepare to welcome it.

Dayu had not taken any action before, but now suddenly sent an envoy. He had to suspect that the riot in Qionghua City might be related to Dayu.

Liu Mingxuan and others did not hide their identities along the way, nor did they encounter any difficulties, and they arrived at the capital of Xia State very easily.

Zhuge Jinyu knew the purpose of their trip, but he had no choice. Xia Kingdom was defeated, Shen Liuyun died, and even his Mo Yun died. Xia Kingdom was no match for Dayu.

That's why he didn't continue to send people over. If he did, it would only result in the loss of the lives of Xia soldiers. It would be better to recuperate temporarily and fight again later.

Even though he had prepared himself mentally, when he saw the long list, he realized that he had not done enough.

"Cede three cities and get 100,000 taels of gold... Why doesn't she just go and rob!" Zhuge Jinyu slammed the table hard, gritting his teeth.

Even though he always considered himself a gentleman, he couldn't help but want to curse when he saw this outrageous request.

Zi Jun was sitting on a chair nearby. Hearing this, he smiled and said, "This is indeed Xiao Ying's style."

Zhuge Jinyu took a deep breath and tried to maintain his composure, but his voice was still trembling because he was so angry about this outrageous list!

"Godfather, she is so arrogant! How can she say one hundred taels of gold?" He wanted to just ignore it and make his plan!
Zi Jun laughed loudly, then reacted, yes, one hundred thousand taels of gold and three hundred thousand taels of silver, this amount was just the bottom line that Xia State could come up with.

If the number exceeds this, Jin Yu will definitely start a war. If the number is stuck at this level, no matter how angry Jin Yu is, he will accept it.

He sat up straight abruptly and hissed, "This Xiao Ying... is so amazing!"

The most important thing is that she is not only good at calculating people's hearts, but she can also find out how much silver is in the treasury of the Xia Kingdom.

Zhuge Jinyu also thought of this and became even more furious.

"These useless bastards!" He cursed softly and looked at the eunuch chief beside him, "Summon Li Chengxiu to see me."

The chief eunuch took the order and left. About an hour later, a middle-aged man in a scarlet official robe hurried into the palace.

The man was Li Chengxiu, who was responsible for receiving the envoys.

"Greetings to the King." Li Chengxiu bowed respectfully.

Although the young king always appeared to be gentle and courteous, he was well aware of Zhuge Jinyu's ambition and decisiveness hidden beneath his politeness.

"There will be a banquet in the palace tonight. Remember to notify those people." After a pause, Zhuge Jinyu's eyes flickered, "Go find ten beauties, both men and women, and bring them back to Dayu for Lord Liu."

Li Chengxiu understood immediately, "Yes."

This means that they are planning to send spies to Daewoo with a legitimate reason.

On the second day after attending the palace banquet in the palace, Li Chengxiu really took five men and five women to the inn of the Daewoo envoy.

How could Liu Mingxuan refuse ten laborers for free?

He even asked with a hint of excitement, "Why only ten? I say you Xia country shouldn't be so stingy."

Li Chengxiu: ???
Does this man really not understand, or is he pretending not to understand? Ten spies is not enough for him?
Zhuge Jinyu threw away the Qionghua City that had given him a headache, and ceded it to Dayu along with the adjacent Mudan City and Orchid City.

He was not willing to give away so much gold and silver, so as soon as Liu Mingxuan and his party left the capital with the gold and silver, he spread the news.

At once, countless forces became interested.

That’s half of the Xia Kingdom’s treasury. Whoever can grab it can sleep on silver for the rest of his life. Who wouldn’t be tempted?

The excitement is followed by action. When the first wave of people took action, the second and third waves followed. Pan Yingying received the letter sent by Liu Mingxuan, but she was not angry. If it were her, she would not only spread the news, but also personally take action to rob.

She did not send troops to Xia State to provide support. Instead, she went to the newly demarcated border and fired a cannon at a barren mountain within Xia State.

This shot shocked the world and also shocked Zhuge Jinyu.

According to historical records, this shot marked the beginning of Lingyuan Continent's official entry into the era of hot weapons.

Under the shock of this cannon, those who had not yet had time to grab the gold and silver as compensation gave up all thoughts.

Who dares to pull out Daewoo's tiger whiskers? That one shot flattened half of the mountain. Who wouldn't be afraid of being blown to pieces by that shot?
Liu Mingxuan and his team returned to Dayu safely and unharmed, and brought back 20 laborers.

The 20 spies carefully selected by Li Chengxiu thought that they would soon be assigned to various officials and then successfully obtain various intelligence through various means. However, they were called up to move bricks early in the morning of the second day after they arrived.

Yes, moving bricks.

Pan Yingying wanted to build a cement wall on the new border line and a cement road to connect the three cities with Chengyang.

She had already planned it when she was in Qionghua City. These three flower cities are rich in various flowers. As we all know, flowers are the raw materials for making various perfumes.

From now on, these three cities will no longer have to worry about not being able to sell the flowers they grow. There may even be a shortage of supply, after all, there are so many women in the world.

The three cities were changed into three counties and temporarily managed by Liu Mingxuan. Pan Yingying had already written to Lin Xiao'e, asking her to pick two good money-earners and rush over to take over.

Once everything here is temporarily back on track, Pan Yingying and Yu Chaosheng will prepare to return to the capital.

……

……

Qionghua County.

When the people learned that the land was ceded to Daewoo, they were worried.

They killed the city lord and thought that the higher-ups would send troops to suppress the rebellion, but they only received the news that Qionghua City and two other cities were ceded.

Since ancient times, the people who were ceded would become slaves. Thinking of what happened to Funing City, the people secretly packed their bags and prepared to escape.

Before they could escape, a series of new policies were introduced.

The three flower cities were transformed into county towns, and the people will continue to grow flowers. Their lives will be no different from before, and may even be better.

Soon after, a new city wall was built, and construction of cement roads and factory buildings officially began. Recruitment notices were posted in the city, offering very generous salaries.

Only then did everyone feel relieved and devote themselves to building a new home.

……

……

The carriage slowly drove into the capital.

Pan Yingying lifted the car curtain and looked at the three-story buildings and shops on both sides of the spacious street. She thought she had traveled back to the modern era.

Yu Chaosheng took her arm and asked, "How is it? Are you satisfied?"

Pan Yingying nodded heavily, "Satisfied!"

She is really satisfied!
