Chapter 639: More things are worse than less things
Jiang Qian put down his chopsticks and moved the bowl of pickled pork with pickled vegetables to the south, then moved the pot of big bone lotus root soup on the table to the north, and then He picked up his piece of rice and placed it between the two plates. He tilted his head and looked at Li Dachui, then smiled and placed a plate of green vegetables at the northernmost position.
"The Kingdom of Chu has now been reduced to a bowl of fat meat. As long as our teeth are sharp enough and our appetite is good enough, we can feast on it." Li Dachui pointed at the bowls of food on the table and said with a smile: "This big bone Lotus root soup naturally occupies the center of the Central Plains. The local Linghuye is delicious, the soup is fresh, and there are large pieces of lean meat attached to the bones. It’s just a bit difficult to chew. If you’re not careful, you’ll clatter your teeth. But I, the Beiting Protectorate, can only eat it. A plate of green vegetables? It should be considered a plate of fish-flavored shredded pork. Well!"
Jiang Qian looked at him with a half-smile and said, "You are poor!"
"Hey, how long ago was this?" Li Dachui said. He leaned back in his chair and said proudly: "Today's Beiting Protector's Mansion has many ways to make money, and it will get better and better in the future. You have never been outside the customs, so you are too arbitrary. You must know that these accumulations of Chu State are now in our Beiting But it doesn’t exist!”
"I believe it will get better and better in the future, but now, I am still poor!" Jiang Qian said: "I have been a householder. Even if you are a poor family, the seven things to do when opening the door are very worrying, let alone a country. . The foundation outside Guanwai was too weak before. After years of fighting and fighting against Bei Yuan, I am afraid that all the little money you have saved up will be wiped out, right? Now you have to bear the burden of Qian Yuan, who is very poor, and you can still eat. , is already amazing. You said how rich you are, hey, you don’t have to show off your face in front of me!”
Li Dachui smiled awkwardly, “It hits the nail on the head, but you don’t have to be so sharp, you have to leave some for me. To save face! To tell you the truth, in many places, people don’t even have enough to eat. They can only live.”
“So, it is unlikely that the Beiting Protectorate will send troops to the pass in a short period of time. !" Jiang Qian said: "Now Gu Xiaoman’s actions in Yangguan were just a bluff!”
“That’s right!” Li Dachui nodded: “The hole in the Yuan Kingdom is still bigger than I thought. Work hard to smooth out the shortcomings here. Linghuye is different from us. He has the full support of the wealthy families in the Central Plains. The Central Plains is far stronger than us in terms of population and wealth. I don't think so. Once the backyard business is established, If you rush to attack the Central Plains, if the attack does not go well, you will fall into a quagmire, and the fight will become a stalemate, and you will not be able to keep up with the money and food, it will be terrible!” Working hard to manage the Central Plains , Even though your territory is much larger than his, the manpower and material resources you can use are incomparable to you!" Jiang Qian said: "And I think Ling Huye must have a secret hand outside the pass, and he has chess pieces to follow him! Are you causing trouble?”
"Those people can't hold back the general trend!" Li Dachui waved his hand, "They just make people upset like a mosquito buzzing in the night. It's different for me, Shu County, and the eight towns in Jiangnan where you are now, They are all forces that can cause fatal harm to him!"
"The eight towns in Jiangnan are also floating now! The foundation is not strong." Jiang Qian said: "Once Linghuye determines that there will be no major war in the north, his eyes will definitely look here. Next, our life will be difficult! If we can delay it longer, the foundation here will be stronger."
"Of course. "Li Dachui nodded: "Our first task now is to completely defeat Xiang Ying of Tong'an County and drive him back to Danyang City to fight for power with Na Wei. If these two people are fighting, there will be no time to fight. I will use my energy to deal with you again, so you can concentrate your efforts and use the advantages of the navy to deal with Linghuye. . Shu County will also be your most advantageous support. Food, weapons, and troops will continue to support you, so you don’t have to worry too much!”
“If I take over Chu State again by then! , and you haven't won yet to decide the outcome with Linghuye, so what can you say?" Jiang Qian said suddenly.
Li Dachui laughed: "Do you still want to compete with me again?"
Jiang Qian sighed, and his face fell: "One mistake will lead to eternal hatred. After being tricked by you, it is impossible to stand up again. Your subordinates hold most of the power of the eight towns in the south of the Yangtze River. Then Kang Zhen, You may listen to me on the surface, but secretly, it may be because of you, and that little bastard Han Zheng admires you so much!" Li Dachui said! He rubbed his hand on Jiang Qian's head and said, "So as long as you are Li Dachui's woman, you can use these powers at will."
"Isn't that Zhang Qingyun very... Like you?" Jiang Qian rearranged the dishes on the table, picked up the bowl, took a bite of rice, and when he raised his head, there was a sly light in his eyes.
"Don't make blind guesses!" Li Dachui said sternly: "Zhang Qingyun ranks third in Zhiqiuyuan and is the right-hand man of our Beiting Protectorate. Although his father is a bit pedantic, he is upright and a good person. an indispensable force, we cannot You can insult others, you know?"
Jiang Qian smiled with eyes crooked, "Okay, if you say no, it is not! But she is not old anymore, I will introduce some young talents to her later. , you won’t object?”
"How could it be?" Li Dachui picked up a big bone and threw it into his mouth. He chewed it with a click. He curled his tongue and sucked out all the bone marrow inside. He opened his mouth and spat out the broken bones, "Look, the bone No matter how hard it is, as long as our teeth are strong enough, we can eat him dry!"
Jiang Qian smiled and said nothing, not commenting on Li Dachui's abrupt change of topic.
Li Dachui smiled and held a piece of bone in his mouth, whispering in his mind, with Xiao Changche and you, I am already racking my brains. Don’t look at Zhang Qingyun who doesn’t know martial arts. He was quiet and unhurried, but he was also a fierce person in his heart. The extremely harmful woman, just by looking at her, she digested the power of Heibingtai completely without causing any waves, and integrated it into Zhiqiuyuan, making Wu De voluntarily withdraw from Zhiqiuyuan. , and turned to focus on developing in the military, and then he knew how powerful she was.
Although her name is still Zhang Bing, Zhou Yi's reputation dropped after being tricked by Tie Le in Beiyuan. Now, Zhang Bing's influence in Zhiqiuyuan has long surpassed Zhou Yi's. .
In Qian Jia's words, it is the future that is to be feared.
After that, the power of the Jia Beiting Protectorate will basically turn to the inside of the pass to fight for world hegemony, and Zhang Qingyun's influence will be further highlighted.
I am so confused that I provoke her!
It is better to do less than to do more!
