The market has become more prosperous, and King Yao is quite pleased with it.
"That was just a trick in the early stage. How can I say that He Xiao is really a capable person! In order to buy land, merchants and civilians will frantically sell off their supplies. The supply on the market suddenly increases, and the price naturally cannot go up." Qingyang put two melon seeds on the table, one on the left and one on the right. "These two melon seeds, the left one represents the silver money on the market, and the right one represents the materials on the market."
All the materials people need in their lives can be called resources.
She took the melon seeds on the left: "Thanks to this capital city eastward expansion project, suddenly, most of the money on the market will be taken away by the national treasury and the king of Yao."
The method used by King Yao was too toxic, so the process of sucking money was extremely rapid, and even the big bureaucrats didn't react. She knew that this was also due to the high degree of urbanization of Tianshui City, and the number of civilians living in the city was several times more than in the suburbs. Otherwise, this trick would not work anywhere else in the Flashing Gold Plain.
Of course, she would not mention these causes and effects to Bai Tan. But He Xiao had only been in Yao Country for a short time, and he could understand and use these factors thoroughly. It was really...
What a capable person with evil intentions.
Bai Tan nodded: "Civilians need to buy materials, but they have no money."
"Everything has a gradual process. According to the current progress, this matter will not happen for several years. After all, Yaoguo itself has a strong foundation, and it has various policies and orders to protect it. It can also profit from the Golden Plains."
To put it bluntly, the Shining Gold Plain is the blood bag of the Yao Kingdom, which is also one of the important reasons why King Yao is so unscrupulous.
"Unless -" Qingyang took the melon seeds on the right, "- it was greatly accelerated artificially."
Bai Tan thought deeply: "Take away the materials?"
"Scarcity makes things valuable. The fewer resources there are on the market, the higher the price will be. If resources suddenly drop sharply, the price will also rise sharply in the short term. Now He Xiao has started the first half for us. From now on, it's our turn to take over the second half."
"I said 'in the short term'!" Qingyang emphasized, "If we miss this period, Yao Country will definitely be able to recover."
A good planner can adjust his plan at any time according to the time and situation. On the surface, He Xiao's capital expansion project was to help King Yao solve the problems of waterlogging in the old city and an empty treasury, but why couldn't it be used for her benefit?
Bai Tan's eyes flashed: "Speed up?"
Is that what he thought it meant? He hesitated: "I'm afraid it's not that easy to buy up all the supplies in Yao Country."
The foundation of Yao Kingdom is so strong, how can it be short-changed by just one or two forces?
"We don't need to buy up all of them, we just need to make them temporarily in short supply." Qingyang emphasized the word "temporarily". "As long as we operate properly, we can control when this conflict will break out and to what extent. When the time comes, what will people who suddenly can't buy materials and can't survive do?"
Qingyang opened his left hand and showed it to him, with the melon seeds lying in the palm of his hand.
What should you do when you can clearly see it and you really want it, but the other person refuses to give it to you?
Bai Tan stretched out his hand but stopped.
"It doesn't matter."
Bai Tan then picked up the melon seeds from her left palm:
"I understand. Is there anyone else who can handle this matter?"
Qingyang smiled but said nothing.
So Bai Tan really understood.
Over the years, both the Yao court and the people have maintained close ties with Beiga.
This former imperial teacher of Bega is not as lonely as he appears.
He took a deep breath:
"Palace Master, can I see Envoy Liang?"
Once he started on this path, there was no turning back. So before he started, he had to make sure he had the support of the gods.
Qingyang pointed out the window and said, "Look, who is that?"
The boat went downstream and happened to reach a wild ferry where most of the wooden planks of the pier were broken.
At this time, a man walked onto the pier. He was tall and thin, wearing a veiled hat.
Yuan Xuan personally rowed the boat over and took him on board.
The boat curtain was lowered again, and the man sat down in the cabin, taking off the hat that was covering his face.
Bai Tan was overjoyed and bowed immediately:
"Master Liang!"
Qingyang had predicted that Bai Tan was eager to gain the support of the gods. He had to make such an important decision, so of course he had to communicate with Liang Zhushi face to face.
Liang Zhushi smiled and said, "General Bai, I knew you would turn from evil to good."
Bai Tan looked solemn and saluted with his fists clasped:
"For the goddess, it's my duty!"
Qingyang poured hot water for Bai Tan himself, and then handed him a light golden pill.
Bai Tan took it in his hand and looked at it carefully.
This is the proof of allegiance.
After taking this pill, he will become a real participant in the Qingyang Project.
Bai Tan made up his mind secretly, threw the pill into his mouth, tilted his head back, and swallowed it down his throat.
Qingyang smiled happily: "Now that everyone is here, let's discuss the plan."
King Yao thought that if he did not take the secret medicine of the gods, his life and death would not be controlled by the gods, and the Yao Kingdom would not have to listen to Beijia's discipline.
Ha, naive.
Beijia has plenty of ways to beat him into a conscious state.

Julu Port, Pengguo, pier tavern.
Compared with a few months ago, the area of this tavern has doubled, the dining hall is more spacious, ten small square tables have been added, and there are three more wine labels on the wall. The most expensive one is the aphid honey wine from the Yangshan Islands.
In the past, how could such expensive liquor be sold in Julu Port?
But today, there was a guy half-squatting on the wine table, smacking his lips and holding up the glass to receive the aphid honey wine poured by the waiter.
More than 200 drinkers gathered in a circle, and someone started to make a noise: "Hurry up, hurry up, keep talking!"
The man squatting at the table took a big gulp of wine and said "ah" with a satisfied look on his face.
"We'll treat you to the most expensive wine. If you keep telling us otherwise, we'll treat you to urine next time!"
The man put down his wine glass and said, "What were we talking about? Oh, we followed Liu Tou'er to attack Jueshan. Alas, Jueshan is really hard to attack, like an iron barrel. Now there are rebels everywhere, and these bastards know that they have done too many evil things, so they have reinforced and raised their own territories and hid in them. We fought for six or seven days before we broke down the mountain gate, and then the government came right after!"
Someone said, "In the past, Jueshanwu occupied farmland and killed people, forcing innocent people to die, and the government was behind them. It is likely that Jueshanwu saw you coming to attack, so they closed their doors and sent people to inform the local authorities."
"That's it!" said the man at the table. "As soon as Jueshanwu saw the soldiers coming, they rushed out to attack them from both inside and outside. We only have 300 people, Jueshanwu has about 100, and there are more than 500 soldiers coming!"
He took another sip of wine. "They attacked us twice and many of us were injured. Liu Touer shouted to retreat."
Someone in the audience said, "It's too late. When the soldiers come, you should run away."
"Yes, we have experience in this."
"It was because the gate of Jueshanwu had been broken that Liu Touer hesitated. As a result, Jueshanwu and the soldiers joined forces and chased us like mad dogs for four or five miles!" The man turned his head to show everyone the long scar on his temple. "I was stabbed at that time. My eyes were almost poked out."
"And then!" the crowd urged, "We bought you wine, and you gave us water? When will the Black Armor Army show up?"
"When we were being chased, the Black Armored Army showed up. Taking advantage of the fact that Jueshanwu was empty, they directly destroyed the place and set it on fire. When the pursuers saw smoke coming out of the nest, they rushed back, and were then beaten to a pulp by the Black Armored Army..."
This man spoke brilliantly and described the battle at that time in vivid detail.
After talking for about half an hour, everyone was finally satisfied.
At the table by the window, a guest in white suddenly asked, "That is to say, your leader Liu never talked to the Black Armored Army from beginning to end. They rescued you and left without saying a word."
"..." The man looked him up and down. This ugly guy's words were really unpleasant to hear. "The Black Armored Army rarely talks to people. Ask the people in this tavern, who has talked to the Black Armored Army?"
"Has the Nine Nether Emperor appeared?"
"Uh, I didn't see it."
The guest in white quickly asked, "The Nine Nether Emperor has a unique appearance, and others should be able to tell it at a glance."
"I didn't see it anyway."
"But you saw the Black Armored Army."
"Correct."
"How do you know that those are really the Black Armored Army?"
The man said, "What's wrong with you? Are you here to investigate a case?"
When the drinkers heard the words "trial of a case", their eyes changed when they looked at the guest in white.
Who will judge the case? The government officials.
Naturally, he stood in opposition to the people in the tavern.
"Just curious. I came from the west and just landed a short time ago. You can tell from the color of my clothes that I am not a local."
His clothes are of good material and novel style, and he is at least a wealthy businessman.
The guest in white asked again, "You didn't follow the black-armored army to see where they went?"
"It is a well-known fact that the Black Armored Army comes and goes without a trace. It would be useless for us to follow them. Why bother?" The man scratched his head. "Besides, we were exploring Jueshanwu at that time. We didn't have much time to rob the rich and help the poor."
Everyone laughed. The premise of "helping the poor" is "robbing the rich". These people are all poor people who may not have enough food to eat next time, and they don't even have two copper coins in their pockets. So Liu Touer must have been anxious to rush into Jueshanwu and search for spoils, so how could he have the mind to follow the black armored army?
The guest in white asked again, "Didn't the black dragon pattern appear in Jueshanwu?"
"It's out. How could it not be out?" The man raised his head. "It's on the big stone behind the village gate. The pattern is as big as a millstone. It's very lifelike."
He even stretched out his hand to gesture. The guest in white continued to ask him, "What does the horn on the black dragon's head look like?"
"What does it look like..." The man was stunned by the question, "It looks like a dragon's horn."
The white-robed guest took out two coins and spread them on his palm: "Draw it, and I'll give you some wine money."
So generous? The man dipped his finger into the drink and drew a stick figure on the table.
It’s really minimalist. The black dragon drawn is almost the same as an earthworm, except that it has two more branches on its head.
