In the flower hall of Taiping County, Xu Ping smiled and asked Shi Quanbin next to him: "President, you can see the decorations in this hall and you can't see them well or not."

"It's not just a passing look, it's so good that it's a thousand times better than I thought." Shi Quanbin laughed loudly, looking at the strange scene in the hall, "Hurry, let them perform again, Yunxing, tell me, I'll have something to say to the official family after I return to Beijing."

Xu Ping pulled Shi Quanbin up and said, "Okay, let's look at it and say it."

Near the door, there were two wooden slopes on the table, with miniature rolling wood stones hanging on it, and three tiny stone cannons, each large, medium and small, on the back.

Xu Ping pointed to the table and said, "The head of the Pavilion has seen Jiaozhi people attacking the hillside on the mountain. You should understand everything. With these props, you will definitely be able to speak wonderfully in front of the saint."

Shi Quanbin pointed to the wooden rolling stone and said, "Can these move?"

Xu Ping said: "Nature can move, what's the point of not moving?"

While saying that, he signaled to the soldier at the table. The soldier shook his fingers and rolled up and down the wooden slope, imitating the scene of hillside defense.

Shi Quanbin nodded and pointed to several stone cannons the size of wine bottles: "The key is that these stone cannons must be fired. Yunxing, these things are your ingenuity. As long as the performance is wonderful, the official will naturally see the trick, which will be beneficial to you in the future."

Xu Ping spent so much effort to set up such a situation for the benefit of the future. After staying in the border area of ​​Yongzhou for six years, he naturally understood the importance of leaving a good impression on the emperor. With the support of the emperor, all the big things can be eliminated, otherwise it would be difficult to see the light of the sky as a donkey or a horse.

According to this system, Shi Quanbin and other eunuchs had no power at all, but the officials from the outside dynasty tried their best to curry favor with each other. Why is it not because as long as they cooperate, a piece of credit can be said to be seven or eight, and they can always grasp the emperor's thoughts.

Empress Dowager Liu is already in her twilight years. Xu Ping can no longer change her impression in her heart, so she can only look at it longer and make plans for the emperor. Shi Quanbin is not very prominent now, but has been around the emperor for many years. In addition, he has been an eunuch who knows the feelings and is keen on the emperor for several generations, and will definitely help a lot in the future.

Eunuchs love money, but there is another side to people like Shi Quanbin. His ancestors have several generations. They all serve as soldiers as eunuchs, and their ranks are high and their ranks are not just about wealth.

The biggest source of eunuchs in the Northern Song Dynasty was these eunuch families. The characteristics of the times were that in addition to the common characteristics of eunuchs, they also had strong characteristics of ordinary military officials. They also pursued great achievements and promoted their ranks.

Seeing the soldiers carefully operating the stone cannons and hit peas one by one as stone bullets, they were also quite good, Shi Quanbin laughed: "Okay. Good, this soldier is doing a good job. Then come to Beijing with me to meet the saint. Yunxing, you will release people."

"That's natural, how dare the head of the cabinet begs someone?"

This is a big event that asked Shi Quanbin to help him show his face in front of the emperor, so Xu Ping of course cooperated with him with all his strength.

After seeing the stone cannons and slopes, and then to the two earthen walls simulated in front, Shi Quanbin's face became serious and said to Xu Ping: "There is still a small path in front, but this one is very particular, so you can't be careless. Whether it is the powerful crossbow on the earthen wall or the artillery behind the wall, not only should there be these gadgets, but it is best to let me bring a few real things back to Beijing. There should also be people who really understand this thing and tell the officials. If the officials want to make these utensils in the capital, they cannot be made."

Xu Ping nodded: "Someone."

However, he still muttered to this thing. Of course, he could find out the craftsmen who could be said and done, but if he really had to explain the tricks inside thoroughly, he might have to come forward by himself.

A soldier stuffed gunpowder into the mini cannon, and usually stuffed a pea in it and lit it. With a "bang", the pea inside flew out.

When the peas hit the wall and fell on the table, Xu Ping and Shi Quanbin looked at each other and laughed. It turned out that they had been burned by gunpowder in the cannon, and the peas had been charred and had become ripe beans.

Shi Quanbin shook his head and said, "This is not right. Isn't this a fried bean? Is it better to replace it with lead balls? That one cannot be burned and looks like it."

Xu Ping said: "It's okay to change lead beans, but I'm afraid it's hurting people. It's inappropriate to the top of the saint."

"It's better to be careful. If you spend so much effort, you must always look like a child. Otherwise, if the government sees it like a child playing, you will inevitably take the war here lightly."

Shi Quanbin was familiar with the matter in the palace, so Xu Ping had to nod and agree.

After seeing all the things, Shi Quanbin thought about it. After thinking about it, this formation could be set up in the side hall to roughly demonstrate the Liangzhou war.

This thought was not only for Xu Ping, but also for himself. After a trip, he caught a rare victory. When he went back, he didn't tell the officials for nothing, but for the first time.

After returning to the seat, sat down, took a sip of tea, Shi Quanbin asked Xu Ping: "By the way, a few days ago, it was said that a large tribe of thousands of people returned to Song from Jiaozhi, so there was no storm."

Xu Ping said: "It's nothing big. When inspector Sang went to pick him up, he was encountering the soldiers from Jiaozhi chasing him from the military camp by the Fuliang River. Seeing that we had a lot of soldiers, the people of Jiaozhi did not dare to be arrogant. They just asked inspector Sang to hand over the people to them and said they were taking them back for disposal."

"Then what"

"The place is my place in the Song Dynasty, and the people are my people in the Song Dynasty. Even the commanding troops and horses that the Chen family attacked and destroyed were offended by me and fled back from the Song Dynasty. How could they hand over the people to them? Sang inspector paid some saliva and let the Jiaozhi soldiers go back in shame."

"The Jiaozhi people are much more honest."

Xu Ping smiled: "In the battle of Liangzhou, I don't believe that Jiaozhi people dare to be as domineering as before. Now they have learned the principles of being a human being and have not fought with Inspection Sang."

Even if the two countries are hostile, they are not as good as they meet, and they are red in their eyes and fight together. Jiaozhi needs to shrink its forces to calm down the situation and get out of the predicament as soon as possible. Xu Ping occupied the key place of Liangzhou, and it also takes time to slowly digest and consolidate the results obtained. The two sides chose temporary peace together.

After careful consideration, Xu Ping finally chose to focus on stability. The priority expansion direction of sugar sugar business turned to Menzhou and Liangzhou, and then spent two to three years from Menzhou to build roads to Guangyuanzhou, completely stabilizing the results. Using the organizational ability of sugar business with the advantages of sugar business, backed by Guangnan West Road, slowly competing with Jiaozhi for the area north of the Fuliang River. The geographical situation of these places is similar to that of Yongzhou, and sooner or later it will gradually become the sphere of influence of sugar business. If the Jiaozhi people are pressed across the Fuliang River, they will completely lose the ability to expand north.

Of course, this is just Xu Ping's plan. The specific implementation depends on the next sucrose business, as well as the future administrative plan of Yongzhou. A large number of Tuzhou have been cancelled, and the territory of Yongzhou seems too large and will inevitably be divided. How to manage it after the division is not something that Xu Ping can determine now.

Xu Ping has Xu Ping's idea, and of course Jiaozhi also has his own idea. It depends on whether they can tolerate this to make Xu Pingping safely step down and return to Beijing. To be continued.xh.66
