Yan Yan also breathed a sigh of relief.

Bingzhou is really short of people. It’s not that he doesn’t understand the market or the economics, but as the leader of Bingzhou, he has too many things to consider and it is impossible for him to concentrate on managing and controlling each workshop and market.

Even the existing officials in Bingzhou have to juggle multiple duties and are unable to cope with all of them.

All workshops are blindly developing and expanding their production capacity, without any regulatory agency to control and regulate.

This is exactly the reason why Yan Yan set his sights on King Jian of Qi.

Qi State had the largest number of trading companies and merchant travelers in the world, but it has never been heard that there would be a backlog of goods in Qi State, or that large trading companies would fight over overlapping trade products.

This means that the State of Qi noticed these problems very early on and resolved the conflicts between the major trading companies.

If King Jian of Qi were to regulate problems such as duplication of goods among workshops in Bingzhou, it could be said that he was a professional match.

After the main issues were discussed, Yan Yan and Ying Zheng discussed some issues related to the situation in the world and the development of Qin. Yan Yan then ended the meeting between the two monarchs and prepared to return to Bingzhou.

Xiao Yun'e was still left in Xianyang.

Before the Qin State was completely unified and before it fell out with Bingzhou, Xiao Yun'e and Fusu were the symbol of friendship and the bond between the two countries.

Therefore, even though Xiao Yun'e was reluctant, Yan Yan and his party still resolutely boarded the Suzaku and returned to the Beiye royal court.

"Will Qin and Bing go to war in the future?" Ying Qushui raised his doubts.

Looking at the receding figure of Suzaku, Ying Zheng sighed deeply. He also wanted to know the answer to this question.

Everyone also looked at Ying Zheng. Neither Wei Liaozi nor the other nine ministers were willing to go to war with Bingzhou in their hearts.

Personally speaking, many of their friends and relatives are in Bingzhou, and they have a good private relationship with Bingzhou.

In terms of status, there was no benefit for Qin State to go to war with Bingzhou.

The most crucial thing is that even if the Qin State annexed the Central Plains of China, it might not be able to defeat Bingzhou on the grassland.

The best war horses and the most elite cavalry in the world all come from Bingzhou.

Once Qin and Bingzhou went to war, the supply of war horses would inevitably be cut off. However, it would be extremely difficult for Qin, which lacked war horses and cavalry, to defeat Bingzhou on the grassland.

"Instead of going to war with Bingzhou, it is better to conquer the Baiyue, Dianwang, Yelang and other tribes!"

Wei Liaozi suddenly spoke.

Wars are fought for land, population, and economy.

Except for Hetao, which can produce grain, other places in Bingzhou are nomadic. Do they have to conquer Bingzhou and let the Qin people graze there?

Instead of doing this, it would be better to attack Baiyue, King of Dian and Yelang. At least if the gains are the same, these three places are easier to attack than Bingzhou.

If you try to force your way into Bingzhou, you might end up failing.

After hearing Wei Liaozi's words, Ying Zheng was a little surprised. This guy actually took the initiative to speak?

Normally, this guy would be forced and bribed to do things, but now he is taking the initiative to consider the Qin State.

"Let's talk about the future later!" Ying Zheng shook his head.

Even if Qin and Bing went to war, it would probably take decades.

It was already late at night when Yan Yan and his party returned to the Beiye Royal Court, and not many people knew that they would return tonight.

Yan Yan didn't intend to disturb An Qisheng and the others, so apart from Dian Qing who was guarding the palace, he didn't alarm too many people.

"Let's take a rest. I'll go see Fusu!" Yan Yan was exhausted from the journey. After letting Shao Siming and others take a rest, he went to the East Palace with his guards.

"Oh..."

Before entering the East Palace, Yan Yan saw a dark shadow sneaking into the East Palace silently.

The soldiers and patrol guards guarding the Eastern Palace did not notice it either.

However, the archers on the arrow tower in the palace discovered it, but they all turned around tacitly and pretended not to see it.

"Is that Wei Zhuang?" Yan Yan put on a meaningful smile and looked at Dian Qing.

“Well, there’s something going on between Wei Zhuang and Taifu Jia…” Dian Qing was also thinking about how to explain it.

"Because of the Korean Princess Honglian?" Yan Yan asked with a smile.

"Yeah!" Dian Qing nodded.

"Come on, tell me!" Yan Yan was not in a hurry to see Fusu, and stopped outside the East Palace to eat melon first.

"Princess Honglian was recommended by Lord Han Fei, the Chief Justice, to be a companion to Prince Fusu, and she also studied under Grand Tutor Jia." Dian Qing said slowly.

"Then Wei Zhuang came to the royal city not long ago and lived in the residence of the Chief Justice and Inspector. He then sneaked into the Eastern Palace and happened to see Grand Tutor Jia teaching Prince Fusu and Princess Honglian archery. So Wei Zhuang attacked Prince Jia, but was stopped by the expert who was guarding Prince Fusu. At the same time, Princess Honglian also stood in front of Grand Tutor Jia, causing Wei Zhuang to be so angry that he almost overturned the Eastern Palace."

"Fortunately, I arrived in time and defeated Wei Zhuang. After that, Wei Zhuang was quiet for a few days."

When it comes to gossip, Dian Qing changed his usual reticence and started talking incessantly.

Probably, Wei Zhuang ran thousands of miles to see his sweetheart, but ended up seeing his sweetheart having physical contact with another man. He became jealous and attacked Zhao Jia. Honglian was afraid that Zhao Jia would get hurt, and was even more afraid that if Wei Zhuang hurt Zhao Jia, he would be hunted down by the entire Bingzhou, so she stood in front of Wei Zhuang.

This made Wei Zhuang misunderstand that there was really something going on between the two of them, so he became even more angry and attacked.

"What happened next?" Dian Qing stopped eating the melon when he reached the crucial part.

"Later, Zi Lanxuan Zi Nu came to see Princess Hong Lian. I don't know what they said. San Niang guessed that it was to pass on a message to Wei Zhuang. The general meaning was that if Zhao Jia could teach, Wei Zhuang could also do it."

"So Wei Zhuang often came to the East Palace at night when no one was around to teach Princess Honglian swordsmanship."

"That's it?" Yan Yan was a little disappointed.

Zhao Jiaye, you can't do this. I thought you could continue to provoke Wei Zhuang and stage a love-hate relationship among three people!
"What is Grand Tutor Jia's attitude towards Princess Honglian?" Yan Yan asked curiously.

"Originally, it was just a relationship between a teacher and a student. Because of Wei Zhuang's provocation, the Grand Tutor deliberately teased Wei Zhuang from time to time, which led to the two of them fighting as soon as they met." Dian Qing said with a smile.

"Huh? Taifu Jia dares to fight with Wei Zhuang?" Yan Yan was shocked.

Although Zhao Jia has some martial arts skills, they are not very high and cannot be compared with Wei Zhuang.

"Grand Master Jia..." Dian Qing thought for a moment, thinking about how to phrase it, "Choose to fight Wei Zhuang in a duel. Bring all the soldiers of the Eastern Palace and Prince Fusu's guards to fight Wei Zhuang alone."

"It is precisely because of this that Wei Zhuang only dares to sneak into the East Palace at night."

"Pfft..." Yan Yan couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Sure enough, even if Zhao Jia had no feelings towards Honglian, how could he not retaliate after being provoked by Wei Zhuang?

No matter how strong Wei Zhuang is, he is only one person, while Zhao Jia is the Grand Tutor of Bingzhou and Qin State, and he can lead many masters.
