An Jingzhi sat in a teahouse's private room, munching on sunflower seeds as he said, "Those officials at the Honglu Temple are really scared by you. I heard they're all very tough now, afraid you'll catch them."
Yan Su was dressed in disguise, wearing men's clothes, looking handsome and extraordinary, with a face that was difficult to tell whether it was male or female.
"That's right. They were defeated by the Rong Kingdom before. They are clearly the victorious nation, but they are so timid. How can they behave like this? If the soldiers on the border saw this, how would they feel?"
"A defeated nation must behave like a defeated nation. How dare the Rong Nation envoys act so arrogantly? I am trying to make them see the situation clearly. Things are different now."
The two chatted and enjoyed the afternoon.
The storyteller compiled the story of the war between General Chen and the State of Rong into a book, which became very popular in the capital.
"General Chen made a decisive move, stopping everyone who tried to dissuade him. He said, 'I will take sole responsibility for this matter. You all just do it. As long as it can bring peace to the border for ten years, what harm will come from the sheer volume of the slaughter?'"
The storyteller described the story vividly, as if he had seen the scene at that time.
"Great!" Someone clapped his hands on the table and cheered, taking out money from his pocket and giving it to the stage as a reward.
"Well done, General Chen!"
An Jingzhi watched with great interest, "It's quite well said. It makes me feel like I'm actually there."
Yan Su sent his men over and said a few words to them before letting them leave.
After a while, loud chants rang out in the inn: "Thank you, Tianzihao guest, for the twenty-tael reward!"
"Wow, who is this? So generous?"
20 taels is enough for an ordinary family to eat for two years.
The storyteller spoke even more enthusiastically after receiving a large reward.
His eyebrows danced with joy, "General Chen is the Martial Qu Star Lord in the sky. He has foresight and blocked the escape route of the Rong army. Just when the Rong general used his soldiers as targets to shield his body and escape, he didn't expect that our General Chen, riding a horse, holding a long sword, was already standing there waiting for him!"
"I only saw General Chen say that no one can leave today."
"The two men exchanged blows, and after a few hits, their swords suddenly clashed. General Chen, with his strength like an ox, smashed General Rong's machete into pieces! With one sweep of his sword, General Rong was cut in half! This is called "Three Swords Fighting the Enemy"!"
An Jingzhi: “…”
He remembered that General Rongguo and General Chen had never fought each other, right? They were burned to death in the mountain stream.
Also, how did the name of Wu Qu Xing Jun come about?
But it’s better this way than spreading rumors about killing stars.
"Qin Xueyuan has been beheaded."
Yan Su remained calm after hearing such outrageous words.
An Jingzhi put down the teacup in his hand and said, "That's great. After raiding his house, the national treasury will gain several million taels."
Yan Su knew that the other party had taken a lot of bribes, but he didn't expect that he had taken so much.
The gold and silver alone that were found amounted to several million, not to mention the antiques, calligraphy and paintings, and food.
They also found out the other party's secretly kept assassins and killed them all.
"Now some people in the capital are saying you are a tyrant, while others are saying you are a wise ruler. What a contradiction."
"It's just the last ditch efforts of those old bastards. They want to provoke me, but they don't realize that fame is of no use to me."
An Jingzhi knew that Yan Su was a woman with a strong character, otherwise she would not have been able to stand out from so many princes and successfully ascend the throne.
"The border should be able to rest for ten years now, but after ten years, war will probably break out again. Why don't we take this opportunity to take them down in one fell swoop?"
"What good ideas do you have? Although Rongguo is a little weak now, it still has resistance. It is impossible for us to defeat them." Yan Su spent a long time with the other party and found that her royal husband was actually a thick-faced and black-hearted person. Coincidentally, she was not a good person either.
"No need to send troops. I have a way to do it without spending a single soldier."
Yan Su asked curiously, "What method?"
An Jing paused, "Economic war."
Next, An Jingzhi briefly talked about the role of the economy.
After listening to this, Yan Su's eyes became brighter and his expression became more serious.
He interrupted the other party and continued to talk, "Let's go back to the palace."
Yan Su pulled up An Jingzhi who was sitting on the chair.
"Wait a minute! I haven't finished my pastry yet!"
An Jingzhi had no ability to resist. With the pastry in his mouth, he was dragged into the palace by Yan Su.
I hate it! Another weak and powerless body!
The two talked in the study all night long. Yan Su seemed to have heard information from another world and absorbed An Jingzhi's knowledge eagerly.
…
"Is this the glass you were talking about?"
There was a transparent glass on Yan Su's desk.
An Jingzhi looked like he was begging for praise. "How is it? I and my team worked hard for half a month to make this. With this thing, Rongguo's economy will collapse within a year."
"We have any shape you want. We can even make Buddha statues out of glass, but it's a bit difficult. But we can use it to deceive the nobles of Rong State."
Yan Su's porcelain-white hands picked up the glass and examined it from top to bottom. "It's incredible that such a precious treasure is made from sand and stone."
An Jingzhi said: "Do you like it? If you like it, I will make you a better one. This one is just to give you an idea of what it looks like."
"good."
Looking at the crystal clear glass, Yan Su felt that the colored glass in his private vault was not so valuable anymore.
"Not only can this thing be used to defraud the Rong Kingdom, but it can also be used to steal the money hidden by the old men in the court. It's really killing two birds with one stone."
If only Rong State sells this kind of thing, the people of Rong State might be suspicious. But if someone from Yan State also buys it at a high price, then when something goes wrong, they can also shirk responsibility and no one will think that the mastermind behind it is the people of Yan State!
We can only make those old ministers who have worked hard and made great contributions suffer!
"Since you're so confident, I'll leave this matter to you. I'll arrange for someone to help you. If you need anything, just let me know."
An Jingzhi said as a matter of course: "Don't worry, I won't be polite with you. If we can recover Rongguo and take over those barbarian territories, you will be the second emperor in history to achieve great unification. You will definitely be recorded in history books, and I, as your husband, should be able to leave a mark, right?" He can also give more points.
"The great unification, that was three hundred years ago."
Can she reach this level?
Yan Su's eyes suddenly became firm. She could do it! She was going to do better than any emperor in history!
Only if her achievements are outstanding enough can she change the world's prejudices.
