Xing Caojun beat his knees and couldn't help but complain to Shi Zhouluo: "Shi Beihai, you are indeed from the Jiu family of Zhaowu. You think of everything like a merchant. We soldiers, fighting for a lifetime, have only followed the young master to capture the land of several states. How can you believe Gao Yue's words and donate them in one go?"

"It's not that I want to sell Wei Bo, but Wang Wujun and Li Shigu are all profit-loving people and must not trust them. Joining with them is to seek skin from the tiger."

"Even if you are trying to make a fuss with a tiger, you can also protect each other. Zhao, Qi, Wei can also save our family business. If you believe in Gao Yue's plan of disagreement, the four towns will be separated and they will be defeated. At that time, the court will send an envoy, a statement and a pair of shackles, and let the young master go to Chang'an, and you will be like a prisoner at the stairs!" Xing Caojun stroked his chest, feeling heartbroken.

"I am the aunt of the new emperor in the dynasty, and Ji An is the brother of the new emperor. Who is so arrogant and dares to call my son Ji An a prisoner under the ranks?"

At this moment, several servants lowered their heads and raised their curtains. Princess Jiacheng was furious and walked to Tian Ji'an's side, staring at Xing Caojun.

Even though Xing Caojun was scheming, he was so scared that he could not speak when he met the princess. He immediately drooled out and pretended to be numb. He was so shocked that his subordinates shouted, "Envoy Xing had another stroke!"

"Since you have wind disease, you should take medicine at home. After that, the military government will discuss matters and pay special tribute to the old ministers. The envoy Xing doesn't have to come!" Princess Jiacheng waved her sleeves with disgust. At this time, the group of servants immediately walked out of the wall corridor, lifted up the semi-paralyzed Xing Caojun's shoulder carriage and sent it out of the military government gate in a flash.

The officials watched Xing Caojun leave.

But Princess Jiacheng has not yet stopped. "Envoy Xing suffered from a stroke and needs acupuncture and burning to recover. Let my secretary Jiang Shize take the doctor to go there. When will the envoy be moxibustion and burning of Xing? When will the envoy be moxibustion and burning of Xing? When will the envoy be brought back? Otherwise, the wind here will be strong, and the upper half of the envoy will be blown away!"

The other officials in the hall saw that the princess was indeed very powerful and did not dare to say a word.

Then the princess turned around and stared at Tian Ji'an. Ji An was so scared that she fell down on the pedestal.

"My son, you lied to my mother so hard..." The princess's tears immediately shed and she choked up.

Although there was not much, the sentence "I lied to my mother so hard" made Tian Ji'an knock on his head like thunder, begging the princess to forgive her unfilial crimes.

"Not my son's fault, there is Li Shigu outside, Wang Wujun instigated, there is Xing Caojun in the mansion, and there is a vixen in the house that stirs up the flames. A Yun (the daughter of Yuanyi is named Yuan Yun)'s father is a traitor, how can he be worthy of my son? Before, your ancestor was not willing to let down the engagement for his loyalty. Now I hate A Yun deeply, and my son can give it up. I will immediately ask the holy lord to marry the princess to my son. From now on, who will dare to provoke the relationship between Wei Bo and Chang'an."

Tian Ji'an almost vomited blood, but he had to continue begging for mercy to the princess.

"Then I would like to ask my son to understand the overall situation of the Qing Dynasty, be careful in the original state, raise the army and maintain the people, and the rest of the land belongs to the court. How can Wei Bo be involved? If you abide by the law and follow the etiquette in four words, Wei Bo will maintain prosperity and health forever." Princess Jiacheng took the opportunity to take a step back.

Tian Ji'an's hand grabbed the corner of the silk blanket on the pedestal, and felt ashamed in his heart, and then naturally agreed to the princess' request.

In the interview hall the next day, Tian Ji'an found Shi Zhouluo in panic, "If you rescue the siege and retreat from Mingzhou and obey the court, what would you do if you borrowed 800,000 yuan of ounces of money from the general as an intermediary?"

Shi Zhouluo looked around and saw that there were no insiders or suspicious people, he verbally said to Tian Ji'an: "The Grand Master asked someone to tell the young master. If the young master had difficulty in making a fortune, he would like to ask the Huaiyang Grand Tutor to lend the young master 200,000 yuan a year, exempt the interest and pay it for four years. In this way, Wei Bo's Zhaowu people are at ease, and you will be worry-free, too."

"What is that price?" Tian Ji'an keenly realized that he had just transferred from one debt to another, and the essence had not changed.

"The Grand Tutor said that as long as the Young Master, you can be respectful again, he will not take over the two prefectures of the Xiangwei Prefectures, and the taxes on the six prefectures of Weibo will remain, and the army will still be maintained. As for this money, there is actually no need to repay it. As long as the Young Master agrees to open a port and trade with Huaiyang, the rest will be left to the Zhaowu people to do."

"Open, open the port?"

"Yes, the Taishi said that Xiangzhou had a canal dug by Cao Cao in the past, which went directly to Hengji through Yecheng. The Daming Prefecture of Weibo was also the south entrance of Yongji Canal, and could transport wealth and freight to Youyan land in the north entrance."

"..." Tian Ji'an was a little hesitant.

"Young master, we Wei Bo has good products, and there are more good products in Huaiyang. As long as we can use the Yongji Canal, communicate with the north and south, and barter, the young master set up a tax field to collect profits for Zhaowu people. The term is ten years, so there is no need to pay 800,000 yuan. We can also give the young master an additional 50,000 yuan in profit every year. We respect Princess Jiacheng, wouldn't it be the best of both worlds?"

"However, both generations of ancestors left a warning, saying that I, Wei Bo, were old and weak, and the young and strong, joined the army, all taxes came out of the land, and all came to raise soldiers, so that they could not promote business, so as not to nourish evil and lazy."

"But the young master, now our Wei Bo's soldiers are increasingly unable to afford them. In the past, they had to share food and clothing and give them to them. Now they still urged to ask for copper coins and silver treasures to increase their family business. The system changed from the rule of law, the young master... This is also for Wei Bo's sake. Believe me, no one knows the characteristics of Wei Bo's military system better than me."

Shi Zhouluo's persuasion made Tian Ji'an relax, but he still didn't trust Gao Yue very much, so he said to Shi: "Do you want to select several envoys to strengthen communication with Gaogong Master?"

"In my opinion, military generals are not allowed, and high-ranking officials are not allowed. To keep the secret, it is more suitable for simple merchants and young masters' servants."

Tian Ji'an nodded and said, "You choose two Zhaowu merchants, and I will let my mother's family secretary Jiang Shi participate in it."

"Which end of Wang Wujun?"

Tian Ji'an had just met Hou Zang, and he said in disgust: "If you ask the merchants to cross the river to meet Gaogong Shi, you will say that if he can solve the problem of 800,000 jin, I, Wei Bo, will do what I said, immediately withdrew from Mingzhou and withdraw from Xingzhou, Cizhou, and the three states that Wang Wujun thought, then let him go! And Li Shigu, who also sent a letter to scold him, and asked him to take Liu Wu, who sold me, to consolidate the wishes of a friendly country."

May later, Wang Wujun was also frightened when he learned that Bianzhou City was captured by Gao Yue and Hun Yu. He was shocked. The so-called heroic words of driving directly to Li Yangjin and fighting with Gao Yue at the decisive battle between Gao Yue suddenly disappeared. He never mentioned it again. Instead, he connected Youyan, Wei Bo and Ziqing everywhere, asking them to launch a counterattack on various battlefields, and he was camped by the Huan River and did not dare to continue to move south.

"What's the difficulty of just 800,000 guan?" In the Bianzhou City Military Mansion, Gao Yue received the envoy sent by Tian Ji'an and agreed generously, "As long as Wei Bo can strictly maintain neutrality, I will never cross the river and enter the boundary of the prime minister." Then Gao Yue picked up a pen and wrote a letter, assured Wei Bo's envoy, "After month, the money will come from Huaiyang, half a money and half a silk, and all will be settled."

Envoy Wei Bo was immediately impressed by the heroic spirit of Gaogong Master and left thanking him.
