Chapter 638: Humanity and Wealth
The surface of the dark red meat skin is wrinkled, and the good pork belly is steamed like tofu pudding. I carefully pick up the piece and put it into my mouth, and take a sip. It turned into juice and filled your mouth with fragrance. Swallowing the meat juice, then chewing the slightly tough meat skin carefully, narrowing his eyes slightly, Jiang Qian had a look of satisfaction on his face.
"Li Dachui, your cooking skills, like your martial arts, are the best choice. I'm afraid you won't be able to find anyone else in this world!" I ate three slices in a row. , Jiang Qian put down his chopsticks, with a look of disbelief on his face: "Even the old chef who has been in the palace for many years is not as good as you! How did you figure it out? "
Li Dachui picked up the chopsticks with a smile, put some pickled vegetables under the pork belly into Jiang Qian's bowl, stirred it for him a few more times, and said, "Here's this pickled pickled vegetable rice. , and most importantly, all the flavor is in this prune dish!”
“Really? I’d like to try it.”
Although the war has not ended yet, the overall situation has been basically settled. The two people who have always been a little uneasy finally feel relieved.
Li Dachui's way of relaxing was to cook a table of delicious dishes by himself, and Jiang Qian was naturally the only diner.
For Li Dachui, this trip to Chu State was a great harvest.
Not only did they capture Ruyin County and Yongan County, but they also captured six of the eight towns in the south of the Yangtze River. They also killed He Zudao, which was regarded as a sacrifice for the parents of Jiuquanxia. Take a breath.
Although Li Guohua took Nanyang, under the current situation, he had obtained the greatest gain at the minimum price.
The current territory is enough for the newly acquired territory to survive the two-sided attack from Chu State and Linghu Ye.
Especially the great success of the Navy made Li Dachui even more elated.
After taking control of Shu County, Li Dachui tried his best to build the navy. At that time, he did not expect that it would play such an important role now. However, in everything, forewarning will lead to failure. Failure to do so will lead to failure. What seemed like an unimportant move that day has brought about today's numerous fruits.
The navy stretches across the Yangtze River. It does not require too many manpower to make Chu State's important towns along the river tremble one by one, and the richest cities in Chu State are all along the river.
Whoever controls the river will have the strategic initiative.
Next, the Chu State could only shrink its front line and try its best to defend. Anyway, the navy of Director Wang and Yao Dali would never let them be in peace.
The river is like a long pole, and the navy is the porter. One end carries Shu County, and the other end carries the eight towns in the south of the Yangtze River, firmly linking Li Dachui's forces in the pass. .
Of course, for Li Dachui, the biggest gain was Jiang Qian, the former Queen Mother of Chu.
This is a big treasure.
Jiang Qian’s existence can be said to have made it easy for him to capture Ruyin County and Yongan County. The current situation has developed to the current situation with these two counties as the starting point. 's territory.
Li Dachui will definitely go back to the outside of the pass next, and only Jiang Qian can sit inside the pass and take control of the affairs inside the pass for him.
Whether it is prestige or ability, Jiang Qian is more than enough to do this.
More importantly, Jiang Qian's existence has caused many internal conflicts and mutual suspicions in Chu State. One day, when he sends his troops south, Jiang Qian may be the reason for spreading rumors in many places. .
Of course, Jiang Qian himself is in his twenties, which is when a flower is most delicate. Thinking of last night's charm, Li Dachui stared at Jiang Qian sitting opposite, and couldn't help but feel a little... Ready to move.
Who would have thought that Jiang Qian, who became the Crown Princess at the age of sixteen, would still be in perfect shape!
To be honest, Li Dachui was really shocked last night.
After the storm, after careful interrogation, I found out that His Majesty the late Emperor was frail and frail, facing an innate master like Jiang Qian. Self-aware. Seeing Li Dachui staring at her with strange eyes, Jiang Qian didn't know what the other person's eyes meant. Her face suddenly turned blood red, her eyes were watery, and the energy and spirit that had been gathered were like flowers at this moment. It usually blooms completely, making people unable to take their eyes away.
“What are you looking at?”
“What are you looking at?”
"Will you cook for me again in the future?"
"As long as you don't get tired of eating, I can cook for you for the rest of your life!"
Jiang Qian picked up his chopsticks and put them into Li Dachui's bowl. After eating a fried egg with leeks, he smiled and said, "Don't forget what you said today!"
Jiang Qian did not mention Xiao Changche outside the customs, nor did he talk to Li Dachui about his status.
A smart woman will never mention other women at this time.
As for status, people like Jiang Qian and Xiao Changche would never bother to argue over words.
They are all the top people in this world.
Status and identity are determined by their own strength, not other factors.
Once you have the strength, everything else will fall into place.
Xiao Changche was the first to take the lead. Outside the pass was the base of Li Dachui's power. He also gave birth to Li Dachui's son. He had a first-mover advantage. At least for now, the advantage was unshakable.
Of course, Jiang Qian is not uncompetitive.
If Jiang Qian develops southward based on the eight towns in the south of the Yangtze River and defeats Chu, when Li Dachui moves south from outside the pass, Linghuye will be attacked from the north and the south. How could his power be weaker than Xiao Changche's?
When the world is unified in the future, it is really difficult to say who will sit in that position?
So there is no need to mention it, no need to argue, one south and one north, let strength speak for itself.
And these two women have a large group of powerful subordinates under their command. Even if it is for their own future achievements and prosperity, they will work hard.
"Zhu Chi has reached a cooperation with Na Wei. He was promoted by Na Wei, the newly minted auxiliary king, to the position of Minister of Household Affairs. He is responsible for making money for Na Wei!" Li Dachui smiled and said: "Next, Zhu Chi will recruit people from Chu State Rich and wealthy families, these fat Guan is always gathering wool. The more he gathers, the richer Na Wei will be. Of course, the conflicts with these wealthy families will become more and more serious. "
"When did Zhu Chi seek refuge? You?" Jiang Qian was a little curious.
At that time, she only brought Mr. Zhu back as a consultant instead of entrusting him with actual duties. This was because under the circumstances of the Zhu family, it was difficult to be loyal to Da Chu anymore and could only be regarded as a support person. Tools utilized.
"He did not seek refuge with me!" Li Dachui shook his head and said: "At least so far, we each get what we need. Of course, Zhu Chi will be closer to us. After all, he knows Beiting very well, but his The style is still hedging your bets like that of aristocratic families, but this will be enough for us in the future. You might as well get in touch with him! This person will definitely become an upstart in the great Chu Kingdom."
"That old man Zhu is so weak. But like weeds, they can always grow tenaciously. Let’s see how successful this old man is at Zhu Chi!” Jiang Qian said with a smile.
"So, that is also a rare talent!" Li Dachui said.
