Chapter 531

The hot sun is baking the earth.

Different from the past, Qingzhou wharf is busy today because of the merchant ships from Chang'an.

There are more than 7000 people who fled from Chang'an to Qingzhou this time. So many people need to be resettled in Qingzhou City. When Xiao Ming followed Fiji and Luo Quan to Qingzhou City, Pang Yukun took charge of the basic necessities of life of these officials in Qingzhou with Qingzhou officials.

At this time, on the cement official road leading to Qingzhou City, three carriages were galloping. The clear sound of horses' hooves on the cement road made Fiji and Luo Quan lean out their heads and look at the ground at the same time.

"This must be the concrete road of Qingzhou. Feng Shilang once said that it really deserves its reputation." Fiji said.

Luo Quan also nodded, "it seems that it has just rained in Qingzhou. The concrete road is not muddy at all. It's cleaner than the stone road in Chang'an city."

Fijian nodded after hearing the speech. Then he looked at the people entering the city. They were all dressed in clean and tidy clothes, and their faces were ruddy and plump. Obviously, life here is good.

After entering the city, Fijian's eyes are even more idle. He finds that there are more merchants in Qingzhou City, and the density of these merchants seems to have surpassed that of Chang'an city.

In addition to some big merchants, there are also some tourists who are carrying the burden to travel among the people in Qingzhou.

Some songs come from the mouth of the merchants. It seems that the attracted people in the city are not stingy with the copper money in their hands.

At the same time, there are also some people in green long clothes and waist knives on the street. These people are not soldiers, because they have a word "police" embroidered on their arms, not "soldiers."

These people in police dress roam back and forth in the street. Some idle men squatting in the corner are very afraid when they see them, as if they are beasts of prey.

In addition to this kind of people wearing strange clothes, he also saw four or five kinds of people wearing strange clothes. Because he and Luo Quan were riding in the same carriage, he could only suppress these questions and wait to ask Xiao Ming.

The carriage made a detour in the city, then stopped at a government office in front of the street, and people got out of the carriage.

"Feizhongshu, general Luo, please!" Xiao Ming said to them.

Luo Quan and Fijian are shocked by the sight of Qingzhou. Turning around, he looks at the opposite Qingzhou chamber of Commerce. At this time, many businessmen are in and out of the chamber of Commerce, very noisy.

"Your Highness, I could only understand Qingzhou in the newspapers before. Today, I am shocked." Fijian sighed.

Luo Quan also said: "yes, this time I went to Qingzhou, how can I feel that this is not the state of Dayu?"

"Ladies and gentlemen, you will have a deep understanding of the peculiarity of Qingzhou. After all, you will live here. Today, you'd better talk about the chaos of Chang'an."

Speaking of this, Fiji said: "Your Highness, before leaving, the Emperor gave the imperial edict to the princess. In the imperial edict, the emperor decided to make his Highness the crown prince. Now that the royal family is dead, the country can't be without a monarch for a day. I hope your highness will become the emperor on a day after settling the ministers."

"Imperial edict!" Xiao Ming was surprised. Before getting on the carriage, Princess Zhenxuan did mention some edicts. But Xiao Ming said that when he went back, Princess Zhenfei didn't say any more, but he never thought that at the last moment, Xiao Wenxuan would give himself the throne.

Now Chang'an is occupied by the king of Zhao, so the next thirteen princes will be made emperor. Even if he takes out the imperial edict, I'm afraid it will be said to be false by the king of Zhao and others.

However, the imperial edict is not completely useless to him. In this era, people always pay attention to being famous by their teachers. Now with the imperial edict, he is the prince of the state of Dayu. He has the legal principle to fight anyone. Of course, whether others want to be beaten or not is another matter.

Luo Quan added: "Your Highness, before the emperor went up, he also told the old minister about the edict. There is nothing wrong with it. I hope your highness can set up a king's division to fight against the king of Zhao in order to pacify the chaos of the king of Zhao."

After hearing this, Fijian turned his eyes and said to Luo Quan, "it's not easy for the king of Zhao to enter Beijing this time. Don't forget the barbarian cavalry in the army of the king of Zhao. In my opinion, the king of Zhao must have borrowed soldiers from the barbarians and accepted them as father."

Xiao Ming's heart suddenly sank. If you add the barbarians, the situation in Dayu will become more and more complicated. He said, "although my king also wants to fight against the king of Zhao, the situation in Dayu seems not clear. If other vassal Kings also have different ideas, how should I deal with it?"

This made Luo Quan silent. He only paid attention to his quick words for a moment, but forgot the situation Xiao Ming was facing now. He said, "Your Highness, it's the old minister who is reckless."

At this time, Fiji pondered and said, "is your highness worried about King Wei and King Yong?"

"Well, that's right. The fiefdoms of King Wei and King Yong are all connected with the fiefdoms of our own king. If our King sets out to go to Chang'an at this time, and the rear area is empty, then they will invade, and our king will be defeated." Xiao Ming said.

Now that Xiao Wenxuan is dead, the king of Wei and the king of Yong must have their own thoughts. He will not believe them. After all, he has been cheated by the king of Wei, and he has seen the shameless degree of the king of Yong.

Fijian nodded, "Your Highness is right. For today's plan, your highness should strengthen the defense of the States and wait for changes. At the same time, he should invite the king of Wei and the king of Yong to discuss the Chang'an rebellion.""I'm afraid they won't come." Xiao Ming's eyes twinkled. How could the king of Wei and the king of Yong come to his fiefdom now? It's just like he won't go to their fiefdom. In his opinion, the most important thing is to send envoys to each other now.

After a little thought, he understood Xiao Ming's meaning. He sighed. As he expected, all vassal kings would be suspicious of each other now.

Xiao Ming continued: "in addition, the war has brought great losses to the king's trade. The most important thing is that he has lost the grain support of the imperial court, and there may be a large number of refugees in the future, which will pose a serious threat to Qingzhou's grain. Before he gets a stable grain supply, he will not send troops easily."

After getting the news from Chang'an, Xiao Ming and Pang Yukun discussed that they would try their best to avoid joining the war in the early stage, but to sell weapons and accumulate materials to support the development of industry and the preparation of the army.

This strategy is similar to the isolationism of the United States during World War II. He is not stupid enough to launch the so-called "just war" just because he has a will. For him, whether there is a will is the same, because he wants to be an emperor.

The emperor was not a title in the imperial edict, but the whole state of Dayu. Therefore, in order to get the world, it is necessary to accumulate food and become king slowly.

He doesn't want to be targeted at this time.
