To fleece the sheep?
What do you mean?
Even Shang Xiuxun was confused by Li Shouxi's sudden appearance and had no idea what was going on.
"Your Majesty!"
Hearing Li Shouxi's call mixed with his inner strength, Cao Shaoqing immediately came to the outside of the courtyard and waited for instructions:
"Shaoqing, give the order:
Any news about the performance by Shang Xiufang, Gongsun Lan, and Shi Qingxuan must be suppressed immediately, without making any noise, but suppress it to death.
You are taking advantage of my territory. Do you think I am an idiot or a playboy?"
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
Cao Shaoqing was also confused at first, but then he understood what Li Shouxi meant.
Yes, these three people are all famous people who are admired by the gentry in Jiuzhou. They are even more famous than those in Fanlou.
If Atoya is a master of Liaodong, then the other three are international masters. They are not on the same level, not to mention their appeal.
And taking money and grain from the pockets of the gentry in Liaodong, isn't that just taking money and grain from the pocket of the King of Yan?
What disaster happened in Liaodong?
In the end, these money and grain must be shipped out of Liaodong, which Li Shouxi would not allow.
"Cousin, what's wrong?"
"You are so heartless, you are being sold and still helping others count money.
There is no shortage of food everywhere now, and food is life.
Liaodong is not short of food because the previous few years were bumper years, and every household had surplus food. But the coming winter is not over, and these grains are life-saving food!
No matter how serious the disaster in Jiuzhou is, this king has no ability to manage it.
But Liaodong is my fiefdom and my foundation, and it must not be disturbed.
If you sisters plunder all these in Liaodong, what will you do if the cold winter doesn’t subside next year?
This king is not a saint, the only thing I can do is to protect Liaodong!"
After hearing this, the girls finally understood why Li Shouxi suddenly sat up in shock from his dying illness.
But if you think about it carefully, isn't it the same as fleecing Li Shouxi when these three people came to Liaodong? They donated in the name of the performance, and although they had the heart of a bodhisattva, they were fleecing Li Shouxi.
"Husband, I'm sorry!"
Shang Xiuxun did not expect that the seemingly well-intentioned charity performance would actually involve so many calculations.
“Well, this is well-intentioned and a kind act.
It’s just that from my perspective, it’s not so friendly, so those who play politics are all black-hearted, and they are all motivated by interests from any perspective.”
puff!
When Shang Xiuxun heard Li Shouxi's self-deprecation, even Zhao Linger was moved.
After all, both of them make sense. As the King of Yan, Li Shouxi needs to consider the overall situation of the people in Liaodong, especially the grain reserves in Liaodong, that is, the grain reserves in the homes of the gentry.
Shang Xiufang's charity tour is also a good deed.
Chapter 173: The High Priest of the Grassland
"The human face pendant? The power to end winter?"
Langxu lived in the mountain, in an altar temple similar to the Fengshan Terrace.
Tuoba Lie sent the message here, and at the same time waited for news in Fengtian City; another copy was sent to the Tuoba tribe, wanting the elders to identify the message about the human face pendant.
After all, the Tuoba tribe, which owns the Shennong Ding, is a tribe that has been passed down for thousands of years.
From a little-known tribe, it has developed into one of the thirteen throne tribes on the grassland today.
"Is this the only hope for our grassland tribe?
Wrong, wrong, everything is wrong!"
The clear yet hoarse voice was filled with excitement and regret.
As the high priest of the grassland and the god of the grassland, he had white hair and deep eyes that were faintly visible under a bronze sacrificial mask. He wore a loose and thick sacrificial outfit and was nine feet tall, which made him an extremely tall man on the grassland.
But those hands were more slender and whiter than a woman's, as if carved from ice jade, flawless.
At this moment, the high priest's eyes were filled with excitement and regret.
She was guided by Changshengtian (the Way of Heaven), who predicted the coming of winter and eternal night, and also received a glimmer of hope for survival.
Liaodong!
Originally, they thought they could occupy Liaodong and rely on the black soil of Liaodong to overcome the difficulties.
As a result, millions of cavalrymen died outside Longmen Pass.
The news from Tuoba Lie at this time made her realize her mistake. Changshengtian's guidance might not be the black soil of Liaodong, but the token of love between Li Shouxi and Princess Yan.
Human face pendant!
A misunderstanding, a million cavalrymen.
This was like a bolt from the blue to her as the high priestess.
As for the authenticity of the human face pendant?
She didn't know, because she had never seen or heard of it, but she knew that His Royal Highness the Prince of Yan might not be talking nonsense.
Perhaps this is the guidance from Changshengtian.
Otherwise, Li Shouxi would not have been so calm in the face of Tuoba Lie's conditions.
Or maybe it's a wound of nature that cannot be cured!
"It seems that I need to go to Liaodong in person. I have long wanted to meet His Royal Highness the Prince of Yan!"
From the time she first heard of his name, to his fame spreading across the grassland and his name spread throughout the nine states, as the high priestess of the grassland, she has always been paying attention to His Royal Highness the King of Yan.
Compared with ordinary princes, Li Shouxi's talent in martial arts and his achievements in grassland battles were too dazzling.
Especially in the last battle, a plague broke out among the millions of cavalrymen. The source of the plague was found to be the Black Armored Army left behind from the raid that night. No, it was just a group of ordinary dead soldiers.
This kind of evil and ruthless plot can only be regarded as a brilliant plan in the eyes of the high priest!
After all, it was a battlefield, and it was 300,000 soldiers against a million cavalry.
It was an absolute achievement that Li Shouxi was able to make Tuoba Daman suffer losses repeatedly by relying on ingenious strategies and terrain, and his destruction of millions of cavalry was a strategy that would be remembered throughout the ages.
"What's going on? Why hasn't the news of Mr. Shang coming to Fanlou spread?"
Shang Xiufang came to Liaodong for a tour, and the final stage was naturally the most famous brothel in Liaodong——
Fan Lou.
Yan Shisan Niang also wanted to take this opportunity to make Fanlou more famous.
But at this time, the publicity she spent millions of dollars on was like a drop in the ocean, without any ripples at all. This made Yan Shisan Niang, who had always been successful, suddenly realize that something was wrong.
Is someone targeting Fan Lou?
But think about it, it's impossible, because no one can do it so silently in this regard.
Prince Yan’s Mansion!
Yan Shisan Niang suddenly woke up and thought of the most unlikely possibility.
If the Prince of Yan's Mansion takes action, not to mention Fanlou, even the entire farming family will be no match for him and will be wiped out by the Prince of Yan's Mansion in an instant.
But why did Prince Yan's Mansion suddenly target Fanlou?
No, Fanlou’s business is still the same, and in fact, because of Shang Xiufang’s tour, it’s much better than before.
However, her publicity about the tour from Fanlou seemed to have fallen on deaf ears.
This made Yan Shisanniang immediately realize that the Prince of Yan’s Mansion was not targeting her, Fan Lou, but Shang Xiufang.
Did Shang Xiufang offend Prince Yan's Mansion?
But think about it, it's impossible.
Not to mention that Shang Xiufang was just an courtesan, even a noble family would have difficulty taking a single step in Liaodong if they offended Prince Yan's Mansion, let alone a woman.
"Sister Yan, have you thought of something?"
Atuya has now been promoted to Yan Shisanniang's assistant. They are both loyal to the same man and obsessed with the same man.
But since that night market day, we haven’t seen each other much since.
The last time we met was at the young master’s hundred-day banquet.
“It’s the Prince of Yan’s Mansion that’s targeting the Shang family.
The only person with such power is that bastard, but why did he target the Shang family? The Shang family doesn't seem to have offended the Prince of Yan's Mansion!"
Prince Yan’s Mansion!
Atuoya came back to her senses, and at the same time she suddenly realized what had happened, her beautiful eyes could not help but wander away, her mind wandering into the sky.
After all, Shang Xiufang is an international superstar, a master of both music and dance, and her fame is no less than that of Gongsun Master. Moreover, Gongsun Master is here this time.
".Maybe it's not the prince, but one of his sisters?"
"Some sister?"
When Yan Shisanniang heard Atuya’s guess, she just shook her head!
Although Li Shouxi was extremely fond of the three princesses of Prince Yan's Mansion, he could not allow the harem to participate in politics, unless one of them started to become immoral.
Because of the injury of heaven?
“Forget it, let’s not guess, let’s just go and ask.
If he is really targeting the Shang family, then it is better to draw a line between us as soon as possible. After all, we still have to rely on the Prince of Yan's Mansion for food."
"Ok!"
When Yan Shisan Niang went to question Li Shouxi, a luxurious convoy was slowly entering Liaodong.
Compared to what we heard along the way, the people were starving, but as soon as we entered Liaodong, we saw a completely different picture.
The people may not have rosy complexions and strong bodies, but at least they have enough food to eat.
Moreover, there is a porridge distribution point at the entrance of every town. Although the food is just leftovers, it is definitely edible.
What about rice porridge cooked with bran?
The disaster victims in Liaodong have been properly resettled. These are prepared for the refugees who have come to Guandong, so the number of people coming each day varies.
If you cook too much, no one will eat it and it would be a waste to feed the animals with rice.
So there were leftovers for the refugees to eat, and even if there were too many, they could be fed to pigs, since they were just leftovers anyway.
Of course, money is another matter!
Shang Xiufang stopped in a relatively lively town. Compared with the empty houses outside, the people here seemed to be unaffected by the disaster and still lived a happy and fulfilling life.
Children playing everywhere, small stalls on both sides of the street, people coming and going
It is a picture of a paradise on earth.
Chapter 174 Shang Xiufang Shi Qingxuan
"It's great, I can even take a clean hot bath!"
Shang Xiufang lay in the bathtub, feeling relaxed, and couldn't help but smile a charming smile that made all the flowers dim.
With Shang Xiufang's status, she naturally had no shortage of a clean hot bath, but taking a bath in such a bustling and prosperous town could wash away the heaviness she had experienced along the way.
Here, she can truly relax.
There is no such feeling as on the road where taking a shower is a guilt.
In the mist, a graceful, elegant, and cool figure appeared opposite Shang Xiufang.
