Chapter 378 Plan

Burilege's trip to Beihu was not a very good experience.

The images of the northern Hu in my memory seem to have gradually become blurred.

The grasslands of Beihu are still beautiful.

However, this beautiful grassland was filled with burning, killing, and looting; the shadow of slaughter loomed over the entire grassland.

The scene of galloping freely across the grasslands and whipping the horse into action seems to have disappeared.

Many wars, large and small, broke out between the various tribes.

Faced with this situation, the Northern Hu imperial court was powerless to resist.

The young emperor was mediocre, and the left and right prime ministers were constantly fighting each other.

It seems no one cares about how the herders live anymore...

Shen Huaichen and Burileg only traveled through the territory of the Northern Hu for about ten days before returning to the border city.

Upon returning to the border town, Burileg immediately went inside.

Shen Huaichen knew that Burilege was feeling bad.

He was heartbroken to see his hometown become like this.

Shen Huaichen gave him this time to suffer, but only two days.

"Do you want to change the current situation of Beihu?" Shen Huaichen asked.

"I want to! But I know that my first priority right now is to manage the border town well," Burileg said, his eyes red.

Shen Huaichen nodded.

Not bad, you're quite sensible...

"Actually, the Northern Hu people are not without a solution."

However, this requires everyone's efforts.

"Abu, I'll tell you the simplest way. Do you want to hear it?" Shen Huaichen asked.

Burileg rubbed his eyes and nodded.

“Abu is right, and I want to hear it.”

"Okay! Then Abu will tell you that the Northern Hu cannot continue like this."

If we divide the Northern Hu into several large tribes, we can develop them gradually, much like developing border fortresses.

Perhaps then the people of Beihu will be able to live a better life.

Burilege, think about it carefully. The border town was once part of the Northern Hu.

"But what about the border town now?" Shen Huaichen looked at Burilege.

Shen Huaichen's purpose was simple.

He believed that the Northern Hu could not become too powerful, so he wanted to split the Northern Hu apart.

Just like when the border town was separated.

In the north, there can be multiple border cities, but not a unified and powerful Northern Hu.

Burileg thought about the former border town.

Then I thought about the present...

"Furthermore, only when the forces are evenly matched can a balance be maintained."

When a tribe becomes too powerful, its only thought becomes conquest...

Just think about the relationship between Dayu and the surrounding foreign states and you'll understand.

The reason why those small foreign states were so obedient was because the Great Yu was powerful.

Burilege, you are the eagle of the grassland.

"You should think carefully about how the Northern Hu and the border cities will coexist in the future," Shen Huaichen continued.

Burileg nodded and said nothing more.

Shen Huaichen stopped talking and went back to his room.

Burilege is a northern Hu person, so it makes sense for him to do some things.

Many times...

This child just needs a little guidance...

Shen Huaichen had a feeling that, at most three years later, the Da Yu and Bei Hu would have their last major battle.

After that great battle, there will be no more Northern Hu...

......

The capital city of Chongqing remains bustling with activity.

Recently, the topic of conversation has changed.

Previously, everyone was speculating when the emperor's brother-in-law would finally win the heart of his beloved.

Now it seems the beautiful woman is in his arms, and the child has been born, but he just can't return home...

Those who had placed bets were furious.

At that time, Prince Fu's daughter's shop opened a gambling platform.

It's about getting everyone to actively participate in the betting on when the Emperor's brother-in-law will marry Hua Wanli.

One-year payout is 2:1, three-year payout is 5:1, five-year payout is 10:1...

The result is this mess.

The house wins all...

When the final accounts were settled, Prince Fu was so happy he could hardly open his eyes.

Having tasted success, Qianjinfang, observing the changing winds in the capital, reopened its betting operations.

What are we betting on this time?

Hehe, the princess Pingning, the emperor's cousin, when did she take Lian Qianli, Chun Buwan's employer, as her lover?

The odds remain the same: 1 to 2, 1 to 5, 1 to 10...

The people of the capital city participated enthusiastically.

After all, this is the time when they can openly discuss matters concerning the royal family.

Seeing that the people of the capital had forgotten about Huangfu Ruolang, who was once a top star, even Qianli himself couldn't sit still.

"What does Qianjinfang want? Have they been living too comfortably lately?" Lian Qianli asked angrily.

Shen Qingyue, who was reading a book nearby, sighed.

She didn't know what to say.

I don’t know when it started, but rumors about her and Lian Qianli suddenly began to circulate in the capital.

Various versions are available.

Heroes rescuing damsels in distress, chance encounters in the countryside, exchanging poems and paintings...

Anyway, it seems like overnight, everyone knew about them.

Shen Qingyue also felt sorry for Lian Qianli.

A perfectly respectable young nobleman from the capital has become a potential gigolo in the eyes of others.

It seems everyone tacitly believes that Shen Qingyue will not get married.

The only point of contention is how many male concubines Princess Pingning will take in.

After all, the Hu people had once given the Central Plains people the impression of being too powerful.

For the Northern Barbarians to be destroyed, a divine intervention would be necessary...

"I'd like to see who placed the bets."

"Hmph, you'd better not let me know. If I do, just wait and see how I make fun of him!" Lian Qianli gritted his teeth in hatred.

Shen Qingyue...

“Um… my mother also placed a bet,” Shen Qingyue said softly.

Thousands of miles...

"What did you say? Madam Shen also... placed a bet?" Lian Qianli looked at Shen Qingyue in surprise.

Shen Qingyue nodded.

"Yes! Mother... bet on the banker to win."

However, she didn't buy it herself; she had Aunt Dong go and buy it while her face was covered.

She said those people all placed the wrong bets.

They even said that I would never accept male concubines.

The final result will definitely be that the house wins all.

Thousands of miles...

After thinking for a long time, Lian Qianli finally decided to open a teahouse similar to Chun Bu Wan in the capital of Bei Hu.

Rather than letting others laugh at you, you should work hard yourself.

Perhaps he could avoid being a male concubine and become the emperor's son-in-law directly...

Actually... before becoming the emperor's son-in-law, being a male concubine was acceptable...
