Chapter 93: The Kindness of Qin Jin?

Before the Empress finished speaking, Zhu Youning spoke first.

His words seemed to be provocative.

"The empress of Huanyinfang is actually King Qi's younger sister, right?"

The empress was taken aback when she heard the words, then her face returned to calm, she nodded slightly and said, "That's right, the empress of Huanyinfang is my younger sister."

What she said was actually true.

The Queen of Huanyinfang is indeed the younger sister of King Qi Li Maozhen, but the King Qi in front of her is not real.

Because the real King Qi, Li Maozhen, had already gone to the Twelve Caves to find Gu techniques.

At this time, Zhu Youning stared at the empress for a long time, seeing her panic in the blink of an eye.

After a while, he said with a promiscuous smile again: "I heard that the female empire of Huanyinfang is beautiful and looks like a fairy. If King Qi can marry Lingmei to this king, our two families will form a good relationship between Qin and Jin, and this king will be happy." Will hand over the potatoes."

Zhu Youning's words were actually intentional.

In negotiations, this is a bitter-sweet strategy.

To put it simply, it is to first make harsh demands, and then gradually make concessions to achieve a consensus between the two parties, so as to obtain the maximum benefit of one's own side.

Zhu Youning knew very well that it was impossible for the Empress to marry her, so she deliberately proposed the marriage strategy.

After the empress refused, he could ask for the magic sound formula.

Just as Zhu Youning expected, when the Empress heard this, she blurted out without thinking, and retorted on the spot: "Zhu Youning, this is absolutely impossible!"

Of course, it was impossible for her to agree to Zhu Youning.

Unless she is crazy, she will agree to marry herself to this person in front of her!

Zhu Youning also spoke, her tone was exactly the same as what the empress had said before.

"Could it be that King Qi looks down on this king? King Qi has a land of two thousand miles from Fengxiang, and this king has a land of two thousand miles from Qilu, so it's a good match."

The empress still shook her head and said: "This king still needs to discuss this matter with the empress and ask for her wishes."

"King Qi is the lord of Qi country, so why can't he make up his own mind?"

Zhu Youning took another sip of tea, and after a while he raised his eyes to look at the Empress, with sharp eyes, and said, "But since King Qi is willing to respect Lingmei's opinion, let's pass on the letter with a pigeon."

"Flying pigeons to send letters?" The empress looked puzzled.

At this moment, Zhu Youning looked at Miao Chengtian and Xuan Jingtian, and said, "Miao'er and Xuan'er must be Miao Chengtian and Xuan Jingtian of the Nine Heavens Saint Princess of Huanyinfang, right? They used to inform Fengxiang in the past, and they used carrier pigeons ?"

Xuan Jingtian and Miao Chengtian looked at each other, only then did they realize that Zhu Youning knew their identities a long time ago.

They instinctively wanted to say something, but due to the presence of the Empress, they could only remain silent.

The Empress glanced at them.

"It seems that your identities have been exposed long ago, and you haven't thanked King An for not killing him?"

Miao Chengtian and Xuan Jingtian had no choice but to say: "Thank you, my lord, for not killing me."

The Empress frowned when she heard the words, as if she was dissatisfied that Xuan Jingtian and Miao Chengtian still called Zhu Youning "Prince".

Zhu Youning looked at the Empress.

"It may take some time for the pigeons to come and go. Why don't King Qi stay in Qingzhou for a few more days?"

"Of course, if Lingmei disagrees, King Qi can also exchange it with the Huan Yin Jue!"

After the conversation was over, Zhu Youning arranged the Empress and others in a small courtyard of Prince An's Mansion.

At this time, in the room, the three empresses were talking at night while holding candles.

The empress looked at the two holy concubines in front of her by the candlelight, and asked, "Tell me, what does Zhu Youning mean?"

Miao Chengtian first stepped forward and said, "Daughter Qi Wang, judging from the time I spent with Zhu Youning in the past few months, Zhu Youning really has great ambitions."

"After he arrived in Pinglu, he not only opened warehouses to provide food, gave porridge to the people, and called on people to grow potatoes, but also built schools in the local area, reformed the military system, and built many strange government offices, such as Ziqing. Ordnance Institute, Pinglu Manufacturing Bureau, Dengzhou Shipping Bureau, etc.”

Xuan Jingtian also added on the side, saying: "It's more than that! Zhu Youning also opened a forge called Yanzhou Iron Works, and a cloth workshop called Zizhou Weaving. But with so many government offices built, it must be not It’s as easy as being a blacksmith and tailor!”

Hearing these words, the empress immediately said: "Aren't you talking nonsense? With such great ambition, he can be willing to be a blacksmith or a tailor? This is a must for him!"

"High regards, King Qi."

Miao Chengtian echoed, and said: "This subordinate and Zhu Youning have been sidelining each other when they were at the banquet. All of these things he did were for the purpose of enriching the country and strengthening the army. I'm afraid this time is no exception."

"Tell me."

Miao Chengtian said: "Zhu Youning mentioned you as the empress, no, she is the sister of King Qi, probably for the sake of political marriage."

The Empress immediately said: "Political marriage? Liang Guo usurped the Tang Dynasty, while our Qi State enshrined the Tang Dynasty Zhengshuo. There is a disagreement in righteousness. The Liang and Qi countries can be said to be at odds. How dare he marry the Qi State? Even if he really has I'm afraid Zhu Wen can't agree with this lewdness!"

"What King Qi said is true."

Miao Chengtian nodded, and then said in a deep voice: "I don't know why. I think in Zhu Youning's eyes, the entire Great Liang is already in his pocket. If he has any more plans, it will be Qi, Jin, Chu, Wu and other countries. The reason why he wants a political marriage is probably because he wants to use it to plot the world after he obtains Liang Guo!"

The empress looked at Miao Chengtian's ecstasy, sneered, and said: "Miao Chengtian, you speak for this Zhu Youning, do you have a crush on him?"

Miao Chengtian was shocked when he heard the words, quickly knelt down on one knee, bowed his head and said, "Forgive me, King Qi, this servant has no such intentions, but just wants to say that Zhu Youning is definitely not a thing in the pool."

Seeing this, Xuan Jingtian also excused her sister: "King Qi, this servant also thinks what my sister said is right. He gave porridge to the people, and rescued and fed more than 4 victims with potatoes. It is the attachment of the human heart!"

The Empress was surprised when she heard this.

"You mean, the more than 4 victims of the disaster in Pinglu survived by relying on potatoes?"

"Yes."

Miao Chengtian nodded, and said loudly: "King Qi, according to my servant's investigation, potatoes are simply gods given to the world by heaven! Its magic is far beyond what the servant said in the letter."

In fact, the Empress had already known about Tudou in the letter sent by Miao Chengtian.

She came to Qingzhou this time, in fact, to see potatoes with her own eyes.

Hearing Miao Chengtian's unsparing praise, the empress immediately asked: "How useful are these potatoes that you can praise them so much?"

"The yield of this potato is at least 60 jin per mu, and the maturity cycle is extremely short. In just four months, there are [-] shi of potatoes in Zhu Youning's granary!"

"what?"

When the empress heard this, she was surprised from ear to ear.

She has been in charge of Qi Country for ten years, and she knows the situation of Qi Country's food crops very well.

You must know that the grain yield per mu of Qi State is only about two hundred catties, which is less than two stones at all.

And this crop called potatoes can actually reach a yield of [-] jin per mu?

"What you said is a bit appalling."

The empress took a deep breath, then slowed down her breathing and said, "I came to Qingzhou this time just for potatoes, don't lie to me."

Miao Chengtian and Xuan Jingtian said in unison: "I don't dare to bully King Qi in the slightest. If King Qi doesn't believe it, you can go outside the city to find out."
