Chapter 99 Yunding Mountain (Recommendation Ticket Plus Update)

To the northwest of Daxia Kingdom, on the outskirts of Wuyang County, there is a mountain range called 'Tianfeng Ridge'. Tianfeng Ridge can be called the first mountain range in Daxia Kingdom. And in this mountain range, there is even the highest mountain in the Great Xia Kingdom - Yunding Mountain!

No one has specifically measured the height of Yunding Mountain, because Yunding Mountain goes straight into the sky and is covered with snow all the year round. But now, Li Xian is leading a thousand guards provided by the Great Xia Kingdom to Yunding Mountain, planning to dig a cave here and build an imperial mausoleum under the mountain.

Li Wei did not sit idle, but recruited refugees and artisans everywhere. Even if Li Xian used the mountain peaks to build the imperial tomb, the project was much smaller, but the amount of work was still not small, and many people were still needed to help.

However, after entering the mountains, Li Xian didn't have anything to do. Naturally, a professional person was in charge of how to explore Fengshui and how to determine the location of the excavation hole; and this person in charge was an old acquaintance—Ge Zhengfeng! This alchemist who showed Li Xian's fate back then.

Li Xian, who had nothing to do, took out the edict and read it again and again; although he had read it more than once, every time he read it, Li Xian was elated. why?

Because he took the position of the Eastern Governor, if Li Xian wanted to send troops to attack others, he was "well-known and justifiable". And receiving the minister's servant shot means that Li Xian doesn't have to pay taxes!

The first order that Li Xian received from Shangshu Pushe was - tax exemption for Brilliant Star Group!

In the past, Anyang County was tax-free, but that doesn't mean Bright Star Group was tax-free—although Li Xian didn't seem to have paid any tax!

In addition, a large number of craftsmen have started to make gunpowder, and baskets and baskets of gunpowder are made. Although the Great Xia Kingdom has declined, it can still collect enough saltpeter and sulfur; after all, it is still a centralized country, and it is still not comparable to Anyang.

When Li Xian was preparing to excavate and build the imperial tomb, Xia Xu, the eldest prince in the northwest, received a message that made him ecstatic - Li Xian went to repair the imperial tomb, and even handed over Anyang to Xia Qingqing to take care of it!

Without even thinking about it, the eldest prince immediately ordered Yuan Cai to go to Anyang as an envoy.

Looking at the back of Yuan Cai and his party going away, the eldest prince smiled: "Let's not talk about 200,000 sets of bearings and 300 catties of sea soul silk this time. Even if it is 2 million bearings and 3,000 catties of sea soul silk. Get it for me! If possible, I want all the secrets in Li Xian's hands!"

And what about Anyang?

Xia Qingqing still sat in her original seat, and Li Xian's seat was vacant; the Anyang officials below took their seats in turn.

At the moment, under the stage, there are several tied up rich businessmen kneeling. These people all came to Brilliant Star Group to wholesale goods, but these people are not small--Xia Qingqing has just started to take charge of Anyang, and these people are ready to do business without money! They actually robbed some weak business travelers.

Xia Qingqing's face was full of evil, and she issued her first order since taking charge of Anyang, "According to the laws of the Great Xia Kingdom, robbers shall be punished."

"Your Highness, we are wrong, we are willing to forgive our sins, we are willing to give all our wealth to Anyang, we are willing to swear to God, we will always be Anyang's slaves..."

Xia Qingqing coldly interrupted these people's begging for mercy: "Drag down and behead for public display. The rest of the caravan, above the small captain, all beheaded for public display; the entourage was reduced to slaves and sent to Yunding Mountain to repair the imperial mausoleum!"

In less than a moment, a guard came in and reported that the head had been chopped off.

The hall was quiet, and everyone looked at the somewhat unfamiliar Xia Qingqing. In the past, Xia Qingqing gave people the feeling of a beautiful magnolia flower, always with a happy smile on her face; however, Xia Qingqing now is a ruthless ruler. Hundreds of people were killed and thousands were reduced to slavery.

Xu Ren became nervous this time, looking at the calm Xia Qingqing, he suddenly realized - after all, this is a princess, not some Xiaojiabiyu! No... take the opportunity to retaliate, right?

Xia Qingqing turned her head and looked to the side again. There were a few businessmen standing there in a panic. These people were robbed. Xia Qingqing glanced at these people, then looked at Fang Shijing who was also sweating beside him, "Mr. Fang, have the losses of these people been calculated?"

"The statistics came out. A total of 173 people died and more than three hundred taels of gold were lost."

Xia Qingqing turned to look at these embarrassed businessmen, "Is that right?"

At first, a businessman bit the bullet and replied: "Yes."

Xia Qingqing looked at Fang Shijing again, "Mr. Fang, give them five hundred taels of gold and send them down to rest. After they recover from their injuries, they can leave on their own."

Several businessmen were stunned for a long time, and finally the previous businessman said in surprise: "Thank you, Your Royal Highness."

After all the outsiders had left, Xia Qingqing looked at Xu Ren who seemed to have a stiff expression beside him, "Sir, do you think Qingqing's methods are too cruel?"

"This..." Xu Ren didn't know how to answer for a while.

Xia Qingqing stood up slowly, "Sir, if you have lived in the palace, you will understand Qingqing's methods; giving in will only make people feel weak and deceitful. In the past, I was a princess; now, I must protect this family for my husband." Industry!"

Looking at Xia Qingqing's back, Xu Ren suddenly sighed and got up to leave.

Suddenly a guard came in to announce: "Report to Madam, Cai Guo's negotiators have arrived and have arrived at the Anyang border."

Xia Qingqing, who was about to leave the lobby just now, stopped immediately, walked back to her seat slowly and without any anxiety, and sat down. "Excuse me sir."

Xu Ren immediately got up and went to the border. It is only a dozen miles from Anyang Mansion to the border, and we will arrive soon. Cai Guo's team is a hundred and ten people, but it is very luxurious, and all of them are masters in the foundation stage.

Xu Ren's posture was full of the pride of a winner: "Who is coming?"

A master of Jindan period came walking like a tiger, with the same momentum: "Cai Guohonglu Temple, Ye Mingquan."

"Please." Xu Ren led the way, but he didn't go directly to Anyang Mansion, but went to the prisoner's camp first. Here, Cai Guolai's people were surprised to find that the prisoner camp here was not as bad as imagined, but very clean, without sallowness, emaciation, wailing, or inhuman torture.

And many captives here have accepted their fate like this; even if no one is guarding them, they still work consciously and line up to receive food.

Xu Ren looked at Ye Mingquan and Cai Guo who were obviously stunned, but his tone was low: "We have more than 30,000 prisoners in total, all of them are here. You can come in and ask."

Ye Mingquan didn't wait for Xu Ren to finish, he rushed into the captive camp, caught people and questioned them; the result was completely unexpected, and the answer Ye Mingquan got was that many prisoners here actually wanted to "reform evil and return to righteousness". To become a person from Anyang, and not to return to Cai. So, they are working hard to transform!

Some people were very excited after seeing Ye Mingquan and expressed their desire to return to China.

After turning around, Ye Ming's complexion was very solemn. He asked many people, and the answers he got made Ye Mingquan feel emotional. Most of the captives actually expressed that they wanted to stay! Among them, many family members of the captives have come to Anyang to settle down.

In addition, Anyang did a good job, and the captives were not mistreated.

After Ye Mingquan saw Xu Ren again, he opened his mouth, but didn't know what to say for a while - the current situation is completely different from the attitude of other countries towards prisoners.

Ye Ming didn't speak at all, but Xu Ren snorted coldly, "I heard that many prisoners of our Great Xia Kingdom would rather die than live?"
