Chapter 371: Shine

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

However, now, it was really too difficult. The National Treasury no longer had a single bit of food. That bunch of sly old foxes had asked them to donate some silver, but they were all looking left and right.

“So there’s nothing we can do now?” Jian Qingqing asked, puzzled.

The Emperor did not treat her as an outsider and said directly, “Next, the Crown Prince wants to go to war and take back Yu City directly. Zhiyan said that he wants to take all the high-yield grains that he has temporarily collected to Yu City with the Crown Prince, but I think those high-yield grains can’t be touched.”

“Your Majesty, the most important thing now is to take back Yu City,” Ming Zhiyan said calmly.

How could the Emperor not know this truth? However, once the harvest was high, the seeds in the second half of the year would not be enough. If such a thing happened next year, where would they find more food? It had not reached that stage yet, so he should be able to find a way.

“Your Majesty,” Jian Qingqing said, “I came to find you for this matter. I don’t know if you’ve ever thought about asking the people or businessmen to donate?”

The Emperor frowned and said, “How could I not have thought about it? in the past, when the National Treasury was not able to afford the money and the border was in danger, I had ordered the ministers to donate silver. The first few times, it was still okay. They donated whatever they could, but later on, they became more and more slippery and refused all sorts of things. They would rather the country be destroyed than their wallets be damaged. It’s even harder to persuade that group of merchants. They’ve never woken up early if there’s no profit. Even if there’s no Great Wei, they can still go to other countries to do business, so why would they donate money?

Jian Qingqing pursed her lips and said directly, “Then, Your Majesty, why don’t you give them benefits?”

The Emperor frowned. “What benefits can I give them? What they want is nothing more than money and power. Can I give them these? If I had money, I wouldn’t have to lower myself and ask them for it. If I gave them Dower. wouldn’t I be throwing the Imperial court into a mess?

“No, Your Majesty, there are many ways to buy them over. It all depends on whether you are willing or not.”

“What method is there?” the Emperor asked curiously.

“For businessmen, what they lack is not money, but status, ” Jian Qingqing said seriously. “Although you can’t give them status directly, you can give it to their descendants.” n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

The Emperor and the other two were not stupid. After hearing what Jian Qingqing said, they all faintly knew what she was going to say. The Emperor asked excitedly, “You mean…”

Jian Qingqing nodded and said, “That’s right. What businessmen want is status, but directly making them officials will ruin the court. You can give them a reward. As long as they donate a lot of money, their descendants can get a place in the imperial examination. As for whether they can pass or not, it will depend on their ability. The more they donate, the more places they will get.”

The three of them could not calm down after hearing this. The more they thought about it, the more they felt that this method was feasible.

After a long time, the Emperor laughed and said, “Hahaha! Ding’an, you really are the lucky star of Great Wei! You really gave me a good idea and saved the Great Wei!”

The Crown Prince also looked at Jian Qingqing with excitement and said, “I did not think that Princess Ding’an would have such a good idea! None of those old guys can compare to you.”

Ming Zhiyan looked at the smiling Jian Qingqing and felt that she was glowing. His heart moved. From the time he knew Jian Qingqing, he felt that she would one day shine. As expected, she was now seen by more and more people. She would eventually be respected by the world. Fortunately, he witnessed this process and accompanied her all the way..

Chapter 372: Ask the Hot Blooded Academy Students Nôv(el)B\\jnn

The merchants were treacherous and cunning. Without enough benefits, it was impossible for them to come up with money. And giving a few places for the imperial examination was harmless to the Great Wei. There were so many people who participated in the imperial examination every year, but only a few passed in the end. So even if they were given a place, they might not necessarily pass the examination. And this place was of great importance to those merchants. At least it gave them the hope of changing their family’s fate.

In addition to this, Jian Qingqing also said another thing. “It doesn’t seem to be possible to just let businessmen donate. Businessmen will weigh the pros and cons. Some people may take a few days to consider before they agree to the final plan, so we still need to make other preparations.”

“What preparations can we make?” the Crown Prince asked, puzzled. He was now full of curiosity about what Jian Qingqing had to say.

Jian Qingqing said, “I’ve thought about it. Since those ministers are not willing to donate, it’s because they feel that there will be no benefit for them if they donate. Young people will not think so much. They are only hot-blooded. In this aspect, we can start with the students of those schools. I think they will be willing to do these things.”

After hearing this, the Emperor and Crown Prince looked at her with admiration. Although this was not a brilliant method, it was useful. Why had they never thought of this method before?

The students in the Academy were all precious to their families. If they went back and asked for the money, their families would not be able to refuse it even if they wanted to. After all, they had to consider whether it was worth it or not, but they could not teach their own children to be calculative people.

“Who should I give this task to?” the Emperor asked.

Jian Qingqing smiled and said, “If your Majesty trusts me, you can leave it to me. Didn’t I say that I would give you 50 percent of the tax for that bicycle? I’ve thought about it, and I think I can take out 30 percent to pay taxes, and then donate the remaining 20 percent.”

Speaking of this, Jian Qingqing smiled and said, “My three younger brothers originally took a total of 30 percent of the profits. However, when they heard that Great Wei was in trouble, they immediately said that they would donate all of their money. I also gave them my 20 percent and let them pay it. This way, they can get a lot of money. You can discuss with the Deans of the major Academies and ask them to organize the donation. By then, my younger brothers will openly hand it over in the Academy. Although children don’t think so much, adults have to think more. By then, I think the donations from the various families will be quite significant.”

The Emperor and the Crown Prince were very excited. They had never thought that there would be such a method. In the past, they would directly force the ministers to take out money, and the ministers were all unwilling. Then, because they took out the money, they also took a lot of benefits from the court. They could not say anything and were really very aggrieved. Jian Qingqing had opened up a new way of thinking for them. They had seen what it was like to save the country in a roundabout way.

“I will immediately order people to invite the Deans of the Academies here!” the Emperor said excitedly.

After he finished speaking, he ordered the Crown Prince and Ming Zhiyan to stay and accompany him, and then he left excitedly.

Jian Qingqing looked at the Crown Prince curiously and asked, “Your Highness, when are you leaving?

The Crown Prince frowned and said, “They should be leaving the day after tomorrow. Tomorrow, they will reorganize the army. Although Yu City has been taken, the previous defenders have retreated to Huan City. They can still hold on for a while. However, the provisions must be delivered as soon as possible to stabilize the morale of the army. Otherwise, I’m afraid that our morale will be low before they even attack..”

Chapter 373: Announcing the Donation Drive n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Jian Qingqing sighed. It was indeed difficult. If the families and merchants donated food, they could set off immediately. From here to Huan City, it would take more than ten days to travel at full speed. But if they donated money and had to exchange it for food, it would take more time. They might not be able to make it in time. The food in Huan City could last more than ten days, but it would be difficult to take more time.

The Crown Prince smiled gently. “Don’t worry, you’ve done enough. The current situation is much better than we thought. This time, we will definitely be able to take back Yu City. It’s all thanks to you.”

“It’s my duty,” Jian Qingqing said with a smile

The Academy’s Deans soon arrived. They had cultivated countless talents for the Great Wei Kingdom, so every year the Emperor would summon them for a banquet.

However, it was the first time that they were in such a hurry, and at this moment. Several Academy Deans met at the palace gate and looked at each other with confusion in their eyes, not knowing why the Emperor had summoned them.

“Deans, please come with us. The Emperor is already waiting for you,” said Eunuch Zhong with a smile.

The few Deans looked at the sedan in the corridor, and the doubt in their hearts grew.

This was the first time he had entered the palace in a palanquin. In the past, he had always walked in. It seemed that he was really in a hurry this time.

The three of them went in with doubts. When the Emperor saw them, he immediately greeted them with a smile. He did not bother with small talk and immediately told them about the Academy organizing donations for the students.

This was not a difficult matter, because being loyal to the monarch was also an important lesson for the students. The Deans readily agreed.

The next morning, the Emperor announced in the court that the Ministry of Revenue would organize a donation from businessmen. He also announced that donating 50,000 taels of silver would give his juniors a place in the next years imperial examination, and 100,000 taels of silver would give them two places, so on and so forth.

This government decree caused an uproar in the Imperial court, but it was not that hard for them to accept, because it was more difficult for them to donate money. So as long as money did not come out of their pockets, anything was fine.

Moreover, the Ministry of Revenue Ming Zhiyan had the final say. The

Emperor’s intention was not to discuss with them, so it was useless to object.

Everyone readily agreed, and this matter was naturally carried out very quickly.

After the morning court, Ming Zhiyan immediately ordered people to paste the notice that had already been prepared and read it out.

The moment the notice was posted, it immediately attracted the attention of the people. This was because the notice was not posted in one place like before. This time, it was posted in all the places that could be posted. It was at the most lively place in the market. Someone was beating drums and gongs to promote it.

Therefore, the contents of the announcement were made known to all the people in the city almost immediately.

“I didn’t hear wrong, did I? Donating 50,000 taels of silver can get me a spot in the imperial examination?

“Is there really such a good thing? My two boys are good in academics, but they have no interest in business. I don’t feel good seeing them depressed all day. If this is true, I’ll definitely donate 100,000 taels!”

“Don’t even mention 100,000, I would willingly pay 300,000. This is a good thing that can only be encountered by luck! 300,000 taels of silver, give me 6 places. I’ll ask all the younger generation in my family to take the exam. I don’t believe that none of them will pass!’

Hearing this, the officer standing in front of the announcement said with a serious face, “Of course it is true! Look at it, it’s stamped with the National

Seal, how can it be fake?!”

Everyone took a closer look, and it was true! The seal on the announcement was the National Seal!

Chapter 374: Donation by a Rich Businessman n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Seeing this, the crowd became even more excited. A few rich businessmen shouted excitedlv. “Where do von donate? I’m going to donate 100.000 taels!”

“I’ll donate 500,000!”

“300,000!”

In an instant, the commoners’ expressions changed as they looked at the wealthy businessmen. They were really at odds with each other. They were still thinking about how many copper coins to spend, but these people donated hundreds of thousands of dollars. Did they think that this money was not money?

The officer smiled and said, “You can go to the Ministry of Revenue to donate. The door of the Ministry of Revenue is open now, and someone will receive you inside. However, it would be even better if you donate rations. I heard from my Lord that there will be a better discount if you donate rations.”

Whoosh! As soon as he said this, those who were interested in donating all ran away.

If he asked them where they were going, of course, they would run home to raise money. After all) no one would have hundreds of thousands of taels of silver on them for no reason.

They were afraid that if they were late, the Imperial Court would have collected enough money and they would not need to use them anymore. It was also impossible to raise the price on the spot. Therefore, the rich merchants who received the news all hurriedly went to raise money.

Some of the wealthy merchants were in the grain business. When they heard that there would be a discount if they donated grain, they immediately ordered people to go to their shops and take out all the grain inside, and then dragged them to the Ministry of Revenue.

Not long after the notice was posted, people kept coming into the Ministry of Revenue to ask about this matter. The officials of the Ministry of Revenue all received them with a friendly attitude. They served them tea and water, which scared the officials who went in.

Ming Zhiyan was sitting at the head of the table to receive them. Although he was young, his face did not seem unfamiliar. Looking at his serious expression, it made them feel more at ease.

Rich Merchant Wei had ordered his men to bring over 200,000 taels of silver. He asked nervously, “I wonder if donating 200,000 taels of silver will get me four spots for the scientific examination?

Ads by Pubfuture

Ming Zhiyan nodded his head. “Yes, you can use this spot whenever you want.”

Seeing that Ming Zhiyan was so easy to talk to, Rich Merchant Wei heaved a sigh of relief. He continued to ask, “If my son doesn’t get in this time, can he get in the next time? Or can he continue to take the exam?”

Ming Zhiyan had discussed this with the Emperor and had found a solution, so he replied, if he can’t pass, he can donate another 20,000 taels of silver next time. This way, he can get a chance, and so on. Of course, you can also give him all the other places.

Rich Merchant Wei’s eyes lit up. This was much more worth it! He only needed 20,000 taels to get a chance, but this was a matter for the future. Perhaps the policy in the future would not be like this. What if they did not keep their word? It was better to get the quota now. In the future, even if his son did not need it, he could give it to other juniors.

“In that case, My Lord, I’d like to donate 200,000 taels of silver,” Rich

Merchant Wei said with a smile.

Ming Zhiyan thanked him calmly and completed the procedures for him. After recording his name, donation amount, and home address, Ming Zhiyan gave him four pieces of jade pendants. Although the jade pendants were not good jade and the workmanship was ordinary, they had different meanings. There were even words engraved on the jade pendants.

“Thank you, My Lord!” Rich Merchant Wei received it with a smile.

He took a closer look and realized that the words “charity” were written on it.

“When the time comes, you can use the jade pendant to exchange for a place in the imperial examination with the government. It doesn’t matter where you are,” Ming Zhiyan said..

Chapter 375: Student Donation

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

On this day, the Ministry of Revenue received 2.5 million taels of silver and 3 million catties of grain, which was a lot for the state treasury that was in deficit. As soon as the grain was received, the Crown Prince immediately rushed to Huan City with people and grain. This amount of grain was definitely not enough, so he could only buy it slowly with the donated money and then send it over. However, the 3 million catties of grain was enough for the emergency.

The officials had thought that everything would be fine with the donation from the rich businessman. They did not expect that in the evening, their juniors who were studying in the Academy would come back. When they came back, they did not even have time to eat. They immediately asked excitedly, “Father, Mother, quickly give me some silver! At least 10,000!” n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

“You bastard! What trouble have you caused this time?! Why did he need so much silver? Do you know how hard it is to earn 10,000 taels of silver?

Boom! All the adults were shocked and almost took out their whips.

“You bastard! What trouble have you caused this time?! Why did he need so much silver? Do you know how hard it is to earn ten thousand taels of silver? You really don’t know how expensive rice is if you’re not in charge! I’ll beat you to death!”

The student jumped up and down to avoid his parents’ combined attacks.

“Father, Mother! Let me explain! I did not cause any trouble! It was the Academy that said it needed to donate silver to the Imperial Court, so I came to ask you for it!”

Hearing this, the adults suddenly stopped and asked in disbelief, “What did you just say? To whom?”

Ads by Pubfuture

“I’m donating it to the Imperial Court, don’t you know?” the student asked, puzzled. “This is what our Dean said.”

The parents looked at each other and said, “Isn’t that donated for fun? You can use your allowance to donate, don’t you still have a few hundred taels? Why would they need so much silver? Do you think we are very rich?”

The student immediately covered his pocket and shouted, “Father, Mother, how can I have that much silver?! I’ve already spent all of them! Don’t even think about fooling me! And how was 10,000 taels a lot?! Jian Hu and Jian Ye

from our college each donated 100,000 taels! A few hundred taels isn’t even enough for me to spend a month, what can I do with it?”

Hearing this, the adults’ faces all showed serious expressions. The surname Jian, why did they feel that it was so familiar? but for a moment, they could not think of which official in the Capital had the surname Jian, and could afford to spend so much money on a child.

The student said unconcernedly, “They are Princess Ding’an’s younger brothers. I heard that this money was given to them by Princess Ding’an. Father, it is so hard on the soldiers guarding the border. If they do not eat and sleep well, how can they protect the country? So, just give me the money. I’m not spending it recklessly. Donating it to the Imperial Court is a very honorable thing. Also, it’s said that I can get a souvenir, and our names will be recorded. Our Dean also said that when the time comes, we’ll set up a monument in the Academy and write all our names on it. By then, every new student will know my name.”

It had to be said that the Dean had a very good grasp of the minds of these students. Teenagers were at an age where they cared about their reputation. When they heard that their names would be engraved on the monument, they were all very excited and had already planned to take out their pocket money. In order to make it look better, some even wanted to ask their families for more money. This was because the Dean had said that the name of the person who donated the most would be at the top of the monument, and the donation amount would be listed.

Hearing this, the adults were all in pain. At this time, they had already deeply realized that this was a trap set by the Emperor..

Chapter 376: Praise

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Jian Qingqing was a person on the Emperor’s side. Since she came to the capital, she had never been seen close to any family. Very few people had seen her. She had never accepted the invitations from the women of the officials’ families. They had almost forgotten about this person. They did not expect that at this time, he would give them such a heavy blow and make them bleed a lot.

No matter how unwilling they were in their hearts, the adults were unwilling to let them suffer grievances and be inferior to others in the face of their beloved sons. Therefore, they painfully gave them a large sum of money and asked them to donate it.

Such a scene not only happened in one family, but almost all the powerful officials in every family were in the same situation.

Ads by Pubfuture

That night, Jian Qingqing’s name could be said to be familiar to all the officials and left a deep impression.

So, the next day, all the officials gave their children a large sum of money to donate to the Academy.

How much to donate was also a matter of knowledge. It was reasonable to say that the higher the position, the more money to be paid. Otherwise, if the child of a lower official position surpassed his own child, where would he put his face?

That was why the manors of the marquis and the land owners of the third rank and above all gave their children more than 100,000 taels of silver to donate. There was no other way, they did not want to give so much, but who asked Princess Ding’an’s family to donate 100,000 taels?

A Princess from the countryside had donated so much, it would not be right if they only donated a little. The main thing was that they would lose face. Face was the most important thing to a large family, so no matter how much hatred they had in their hearts, they would still have to hand over the money.

After the matter of the donation was over, the Ministry of Revenue did a count. They had received a total of 13-5 million taels of silver and more than 20 million catties of grain. This silver and grain could let Great Wei relax for a while.

As a result, the Emperor, who was in a very good mood, greatly praised the merchants and students who had donated money during the court session. He also ordered the Ministry of Revenue to quickly make a monument, saying that the monument would be erected at the National Temple for the people to admire.

As soon as these words were said, the officials’ faces turned green with regret.

They never thought that the Emperor would actually do something like this. Putting a monument on the National Temple, didn’t that mean that everyone could see it?

One had to know that the National Temple was the highest-ranking temple in the Great Wei Kingdom. Countless people went there every day to burn incense and pray to Buddha. If one’s name was on the monument, it would be a matter of face. It was much more face than being an official.

Not everyone would remember you as an official, but the National Temple had existed for thousands of years. It was possible that it would stand there for a long time. Having a name on the monument meant that one’s name would be respected by the people of the world for generations.

The Emperor looked at the officials below with different expressions and smiled proudly. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

He coughed heavily and suppressed the gloating in his heart. He adjusted his expression and said, “I know that all of you want to contribute to the Great Wei Kingdom. Princess Ding’an once said that everyone has a responsibility toward the rise and fall of the world. You should teach your own children well. I know that the Academy students have donated a lot of money, and this is the result of the support of my beloved officials in education. I hope that next time, the young people of the Great Wei Kingdom can still maintain this kind of emotion of worrying about the world. I will not treat them badly!”

The officials wanted to cry but had no tears. In the end, the Emperor was the Emperor. Even if the officials were the ones bleeding, they still had to cry and thank the Emperor.

At this moment, they could only console themselves that even though they did not have their own names engraved, it was not bad to have their children’s names..

Chapter 377: Selling the Bicycle to the Courtiers

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

After saying this, the Emperor struck while the iron was hot and brought up another matter. He coughed lightly and asked kindly, “I wonder if my beloved ministers are tired from walking all the way here from the outside?”

The officials quickly knelt down and said in unison, “I’m not tired! It is our honor to serve Your Majesty!”

If it was any other time, the Emperor would have been very happy. But now, he looked at the black mass of officials kneeling below and felt a little embarrassed.

This couldn’t do. If they weren’t tired, what was he going to say next?

Ads by Pubfuture

Thus, he said, “I know of the loyalty of my beloved ministers. However, I feel that my beloved ministers have already worked very hard for the development of the Great Wei Kingdom. I can’t let my beloved ministers work so hard in other aspects.”

When he said this, the officials below were not touched. Instead, they were even more terrified. The Emperor was acting so abnormally. They felt that there was a big pit waiting for them in front.

Sure enough, the next moment, the Emperor said with a smile, “This one heard that Princess Ding’an had invented something called a bicycle, and it is very convenient to ride it. This one also knows that there will be a traffic jam every morning when you ride a horse carriage, so this one ordered Princess Ding’an to design a unique bicycle for the court officials. This way, you will not have to worry about traffic when you ride it. It is also not like a horse carriage, where the bicycle can be ridden into the outer gate. When the time comes, you can park it at the square outside, and this way you can save some travel distance.”

Hearing this, all the ministers heaved a sigh of relief. So it was just this matter. Although they had never ridden a bicycle before, if they could ride it in, it would indeed be a lot more relaxing. Otherwise, it would take more than a quarter of an hour to walk from the outer palace gate to here, and even old people would feel tired.

However, the next moment, they were about to vomit blood. The Emperor smiled and said, “Because that bicycle was specially designed by Princess Ding’an for the court officials, the materials used are all of the best quality, so it will be sold for 1,000 silver each. I have already had the Ministry of Revenue purchase it. When the time comes, all of you can order people to go to the Ministry of Revenue to pay the money and collect it.”

Everyone looked at the Emperor in shock and almost vomited blood. 1,000 taels! Don’t think that they do not know that the bicycles that Princess Ding’an sold outside were only a hundred silver each?! This was ten times more than before. Was it made of gold? n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

They had just bled a lot two days ago, and they did not know how much money they had given to their children to donate. They did not expect the Emperor to scam them again today!

Although 1,000 taels were not much, it was enough to make their hearts ache for a long time.

Looking at the Emperor’s expression, the ministers knew that they had to buy it.

Forget it, forget it. They’ve already donated so much money. What’s 1,000 taels more? the Emperor even let them ride their bikes to the square outside in order to let them buy.

Moreover, the Emperor could have directly taken the 1,000 taels, but he gave them a bicycle. It was not bad.

It would take the Crown Prince nearly half a month to travel from the Capital to Huan City. In this half a month, there was no good news, but there was no bad news either.

Everyone nervously and expectantly looked in the direction from Huan City to the capital, hoping to get a little bit of news about Yu City.

During this tense waiting time, another major event happened in Great Wei. The high-yield grain that had been sent to various places had all been harvested.

Although everyone had heard about the high-yield crops, they had never seen it before, so they were skeptical.

Now that it was finally time to harvest, some people fainted from excitement when they saw the strings of potatoes and sweet potatoes that were full of fruits..

After this batch of high-yield grain was harvested, they were all harvested and used as grain seeds. They were distributed to the people of the various provinces and counties of Great Wei to plant. At this moment, the people of Great Wei all believed that after this season, no one would go hungry again! n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

At this moment, they felt the blood in their hearts boiling, and they bowed in the direction of the Capital in unison.

This time, Great Wei’s discovery of high-yield grain naturally could not be hidden from the surrounding countries. For a moment, the royal families of Qing, Dong Yue, Yi, and Yin were all shocked and wanted to send people to Great Wei to investigate.

The king of Qing Kingdom was a sinister and cunning middle-aged man. At this moment, he was discussing some matters with his ministers with a livid face.

“We can’t wait any longer. If Great Wei really has that high-yield grain, it will be even more difficult for us to attack Great Wei in the future. Without high-yield grain, the Great Wei Kingdom was able to survive for so many years under the siege of the four kingdoms. If they have high-yield grain now, then it will be terrible. Go, ask General Niuqi to quickly take down Huan City and go straight to Shangjing!’

The minister furrowed his brows. “I’m afraid it won’t be that easy to attack. Taking down Yu City has already taken a lot of our strength. Now the troops are resting and regrouping. If we attack by force, I’m afraid we will suffer countless casualties.”

“Lord Wang is right. Moreover, that high-yield grain thing from the Great Wei might just be a smoke bomb. How could such a thing exist in this world? If we continue to send out our troops, we will fall into their trap. I heard that the Crown Prince of Wei is leading his troops to Huan City. We know how difficult it is to deal with their soldiers. I’m afraid that when they take Huan City, both sides will suffer losses. When the Crown Prince comes, he will directly take back the two cities. It’s better to defend Yu City and take back the rest of the cities. ”

One of the officials snorted in disagreement, “Lord Jiang, it’s easy for you to say. What if the Crown Prince comes and attacks Yu City, and Yu City is taken back? It’s not like there haven’t been such situations before’

The king of the Qing Kingdom could not bear to hear such words that boosted others’ morale and diminished his own prestige. Although the Great Wei Kingdom was somewhat powerful, he felt that there were not many of them in the Qing Kingdom, so he angrily said, “Alright! I asked you to come here to think of a way, not to quarrel! We can’t do this, we can’t do that, what do you guys think we should do?”

One of the officials lowered his head and looked left and right. He hesitated for a moment, but still stood up and said, “Your Majesty, why don’t we send people to negotiate with the other three kingdoms? Our four kingdoms will temporarily cease fire, and then we will attack the Wei Kingdom together. The Wei Kingdom can’t possibly have three heads and six arms and be able to defend against all of us. After we take down the Wei Kingdom, we can discuss other things.”

His words caused the monarch of Qing Kingdom to ponder. After a long while, he frowned and said, “No, what if the other three countries don’t keep their promise? We’ve just sent out all our forces here, and they’ve already sent people to attack us. I don’t believe the words of those three old men. Moreover, after we take down Great Wei, all the land will be ours. It’s not worth it to attack together and still have to share it with them.”

Seeing that the Emperor did not agree with his plan, the person who made the suggestion immediately lowered his head and did not speak. In his opinion, the Emperor was too confident. Did he really think that the Qing Kingdom could swallow up the Great Wei Kingdom?

If it were not for the covetous eyes of the other countries, the Great Wei Kingdom would have swallowed the Qing Kingdom.

It was not that he was trying to boost the enemy’s morale, but he had personally witnessed the terrifying strength of the Great Wei Kingdom. Because the king did not agree, this plan was temporarily put on hold..

Chapter 379: The Enemy’s Attack

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Although the king did not agree with the plan to divide the Wei Kingdom with the other countries, he still agreed to increase the number of troops to attack Huan City directly.

When they took down Yu City, they only had 70,000 troops left. These 70,000 troops were temporarily recuperating in Yu City. The king of Qing Kingdom transferred 50,000 troops from other places and gave the order to take down

Huan City.

Huan City.

Huan City magistrate Zhang Yuanwu stood on the city wall, frowning and looking in the direction of Yu City.

The chief physician Pang Xin said in a rough voice, “Those Qing Kingdom bastards won’t attack Huan City again, right? Although they took down Yu City, they paid a huge price and more than half of their men were killed or injured.”

“Not necessarily,” Zhang Yuanwu frowned.

Pang Xin looked at him in confusion. “Why? Could it be that they would still send an army over? If it wasn’t for the fact that I’m afraid that His Majesty’s orders haven’t arrived, I would have taken my troops to take back Yu City. If it wasn’t for the underhanded tactics, how could those lousy soldiers and generals take down Yu City?”

“Have you heard about the high-yield crops?” Zhang Yuanwu asked in a deep voice.

“Of course, ” Pang Xin replied loudly. “Who hasn’t heard of this before? An acre of land can produce more than 500 kilograms. I’ve never heard of such an outrageous thing in my life.”

“I’ve received news from other state cities that the high-yield crops have all been harvested and will be expanded throughout the Wei Kingdom. Qing Kingdom must have heard the news as well. If they believe it, they’ll be so desperate that they’ll try to attack Huan City to prevent Wei Kingdom from rising again.”

Pang Xin’s attention was all on the first half of his words. He said in surprise, “Really?! Would the entire Great Wei plant high-yield crops in the future? It means that our Huan City will have one too! That’s great, no one will go hungry!’

Speaking of this, Zhang Yuanwu’s face also had a faint smile. “That’s why we have to hold on until the grain seeds are sent. I don’t know what the emperor’s attitude towards Yu City is now. There’s no news at all.

“Don’t think too much. It must be good news. The Emperor won’t leave it alone. Otherwise, what will happen to Huan city?” n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

Zhang Yuanwu nodded. “I just hope they come soon. Otherwise, we won’t be able to sustain the food reserves in the city. The war is more important now, and we can’t just let the people in to pay this year’s grain tax.”

Speaking of this, both of them were a little worried. Huan City had to care for more than just themselves. Before Yu City was attacked, they took in a large number of people. After that, they also took in many defeated soldiers. These people had to be settled down. A large amount of food was consumed every day. So if the Emperor did not send people to send food over, they were afraid that they would not be able to hold on until the other side attacked.

The two of them continued to look into the distance. At this moment, Pang Xin suddenly saw something. His face turned serious and he asked, “Is there someone coming from that side?”

Zhang Yuanwu took a closer look. It was true. At the junction of heaven and earth, there was a group of black dots moving towards here. They were about 40 kilometers away.

His expression was heavy. “Could it be that the people from Qing Kingdom are really here?”

The two of them looked at each other and saw the seriousness in each other’s eyes. “Quickly order people to get ready and guard the city gate!’

The soldiers of Huan City were all waiting in formation. Zhang Yuanwu and Pang Xin stood in the city gate tower and did not sleep all night, watching the progress of the team in the distance.

The marching speed of the Qing Kingdom was very fast. In less than six hours after they were discovered, they were only 20 kilometers away from Huan City…

They stopped moving when they reached the 20 -kilometer mark. It was almost dark by then, so they set up camp there.

Zhang Yuanwu was not mistaken. That group of people was the team from Qing Kingdom. They looked like a large group of people, at least 100,000 people.

Pang Xin’s expression turned grave. “What should we do? Should we send someone over to investigate?”

Zhang Yuanwu nodded. “Tell the people to be careful. It doesn’t matter if they can’t get any information. Safety is the most important thing. If everything goes as expected, they will attack the city tomorrow. Tell the people below to keep a tight watch on the city. They can’t relax for even a moment.”

Zhang Yuanwu did not rest for the entire night and kept watching. He realized that the Qing troops had only rested for the first half of the night before they started to hurry on their journey in the second half. The troops were getting closer and closer, and by the time it was half-bright, they had already reached the city.

Zhang Yuanwu ordered loudly, “Do it!”

Hence, the soldiers on the city wall immediately took out arrows that were lit with fire and shot them down.

Both sides did not waste any words and immediately started fighting.

These arrows that had been quenched with fire had caused a lot of damage to the Qing army. Although they had blocked the arrows with their shields, they had also injured many people.

However, they were a team of more than 100,000 people, so it was not a big deal if some of their soldiers were hurt.

After a while, they began to divide the work. One team went to hit the gate, and the other team went to climb the wall.

“Flintstone!” Pang Xin shouted.

This time, the damage was much greater. Those who tried to climb up the city wall were all smashed down by the stones, and even those standing below were smashed down.

Pang Xin ordered his men to fire arrows at the people who were ramming the citv gate-

For a while, both sides were in a deadlock. The soldiers of Huan City occupied the high ground, which was to their advantage. They killed many soldiers of the Qing Kingdom, but there were only so many weapons in the city. The number of arrows was decreasing with each batch, so they had to use them sparingly.

As for the people of Qing Kingdom, although they could not take them down for the time being, as long as they retreated, the people of Huan City would not be able to hit them.

The general of Qing Kingdom sat on a horse three miles away, looking at the city tower of Huan City.

The subordinate frowned and asked, “General, what should we do? We can’t attack them for the time being, should we shoot them down with arrows?

The general laughed and said, “Theres no rush. Shooting arrows now is just giving them weapons. We’ll wait until they run out of weapons. Let’s not fight today. Let them come back. If we continue fighting, we’ll only increase our casualties.”

“Yes!” Zhang Yuanwu looked at the retreating enemy and asked, “Why are they retreating?

“They just want to exhaust our physical strength and weapons,” Pang Xin said in a deep voice. “There’s going to be a fight.”

Seeing the enemy retreating to a place five kilometers away to set up camp,

Zhang Yuanwu cursed in his heart. “The people of Qing are really cunning!’

Sure enough, in the next two days, the army of Qing Kingdom sent people to harass them from time to time. When the soldiers of Huan City started to fight, they started to escape. In this way, they did not hurt many people, but they were quite angry. Moreover, they were almost out of weapons. n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

“If we do this a few more times, we might not have enough weapons,” Zhang Yuanwu said worriedly.

The people of Qing Kingdom came in batches. They started to escape when the arrows were shot, but they came back not long after, which annoyed them.

The enemy was watching them outside, and they could not go out to pick up the arrows.

In the enemy’s camp, the subordinate laughed at the general sitting in the seat of honor and complimented, ‘General, this move is really brilliant! Let’s see how they fight when they’ve used up all their arrows!”
