The emperor wanted to rebuild the Northern Army.

So, the court officially issued a document to remove the post of General Xiao Yibei Army, which will take effect from now on.

This matter was published in the Tang newspaper and spread to the world.

Pingyang County dredged the river channel to the south.

The water transportation southward is 10 or 20 days faster than the land transportation.

According to the news of Jianzhou, it can be delivered to Pingyang County in just three or five days through water transportation.

Therefore, Pingyang County is one of the first places to receive news that the imperial court dismissed General Xiao Yibei Army.

A document from the Ministry of War sent to Pingyang County along with the removal documents was also sent to the court.

The Ministry of War issued a formal document to the county magistrate of Pingyang County, namely Xiao Yi.

Since Xiao Yi was dismissed from the position of General of the Northern Army, the troops in Pingyang County must be abolished, and only the prescribed number of county soldiers will be retained.

The former veteran of the Northern Army asked the Pingyang County magistrate to send him back to the court, which was arranged uniformly by the court as the foundation for rebuilding the Northern Army.

This official document publicly demands that Pingyang County lay off troops and horses, which clearly shows that it is necessary to suppress the military forces of Pingyang County.

This is a conspiracy.

The rapid development of Pingyang County and the willful challenge of rules have aroused the fear and even hatred of many people.

Xiao Yi threw the official documents of the Ministry of War aside, sneered, with a very disdainful expression.

"Are those people from the Ministry of War fools? Even though I know that I cannot lay off troops and horses, I will not be able to hand over the old soldiers of the Northern Army, I still send a document to me. What do you want to do? I want to make trouble, but I still want to find a fight. I don't mind slamming the face of the Ministry of War."

Yan Yunge picked up the official document, looked it over and over again, and said, "This is a warning! It is also an open conspiracy!"

Xiao Yi raised his eyebrows and refused to comment.

This document is of course a warning!

Just, is it useful?

Even though he knew that Pingyang County could not lay off troops, he would continue to recruit troops.

Pingyang County is on the way uphill, thriving and becoming a prince, just around the corner.

Yan Yunge's face was very serious, "This is not just a document, nor is it just a warning. The problem is more serious than you think, and we can't even go against them."

Xiao Yi frowned, picked up the official document again and looked at it, "What do you mean, salt?"

"It's not just a specialty for salt. Salt is just a fuse."

Yan Yunge organized his own language, "Pingyang County has a salt monopoly, as well as paper printing, sugar manufacturing, etc., which are all challenging the monopoly circles formed by the aristocratic families over the past thousands of years. This means that Pingyang County offended the aristocratic families in the world. We try to break the all-round monopoly of the aristocratic families, and the aristocratic families cannot sit still and wait for death. They will fight back! This is a signal of counterattack!"

Yan Yunge pointed to the official document and continued: "The aristocratic family forced the emperor to express their views. The emperor needed the support of the aristocratic family, so the emperor must be on the side of the aristocratic family. However, the emperor was unwilling to do artillery fire in front of him and was unwilling to make the knife in the hands of the aristocratic family, so he had this official document asking Pingyang County to lay off troops and horses."

Xiao Yi frowned, "The emperor is so kind and I specially issued this official document to disclose the news to us in advance?"

Yan Yunge said solemnly: "Because the emperor is not happy to see the dominant family. We challenge the monopoly circle of aristocratic families, on a certain level, are beneficial to the emperor. The emperor can profit from it and take the opportunity to balance the power in the court.

This official document is a knock, a warning, and a reminder! The situation is already very tense, and the aristocratic family is ready to start a full-scale war against Pingyang County."

Xiao Yi tapped the desktop gently.

He suddenly smiled and grabbed the official document, "This is really something that aristocratic family can do. Once someone threatens them, even if it is just a sign, they will suppress them without mercy.

But we cannot stop, we cannot retreat, we cannot admit defeat. Once we admit defeat, we will never have the capital to turn over. Pingyang County will become a vassal of the aristocratic family and will no longer be different from other places. We worked hard for so long before, but in the end we actually made wedding dresses for others, and I am unwilling to give up!"

Yan Yunge shook his head repeatedly, "This matter cannot be done according to your ideas. Once we fight against the aristocratic family head-on and do it, I dare say that overnight, the merchants in Pingyang County will leave without a single one.

No matter how much salt we can produce, I am sure that if we leave Pingyang County, we can't sell one or two taels of salt, or even the boundaries of Pingyang County.

Our cloth, iron, wood, lacquerware, sugar, paper...All goods, as long as they are produced in Pingyang County, will face unsalable sales and all piled up in warehouses. No merchant is willing to help distribute the world.

The shops and strongholds of North and South Commercial Banks outside Pingyang County will be devastatingly hit. Even local governments will strictly control the travel of ordinary people and strictly prohibit craftsmen from working in Pingyang County.

Once the aristocratic families unite, they will form a comprehensive blockade of Pingyang County. We cannot sell our goods, and we cannot enter the outside. Our people cannot go out, and we cannot enter the outside. In a few months, Pingyang County will become a dead land. Whatever expands the army, expands the city, and creates a peaceful and prosperous era will become a joke."

The atmosphere suddenly became tense.

Xiao Yi punched the table, "Just a little bit of salt, why is that so!"

Yan Yunge sighed, "From small to large, from point to surface. Just one salt has made the aristocratic family so nervous. Not to mention that we are trying to break the aristocratic family's monopoly on knowledge and culture. However, Pingyang County is too weak and has a small population, so small that it cannot support a market that can form a virtuous cycle.

With such a small population and a year of consumption, the profit earned is not enough to support the county soldiers, let alone the number of troops exceeding the county soldiers. If there are enough troops, at most it can be fought and occupied more territory. If the market for one county is not enough, it will occupy ten counties and twenty counties...

Unfortunately, we don’t have the capital to start a war and grab territory at the moment. At least two or three years will be given to me to take the initiative to start a war and defeat the aristocratic families with force. But the aristocratic families refused to give it to them for half a year.”

Xiao Yi frowned, "Do you want to admit defeat? The purpose of the aristocratic family is to force us to admit defeat. Once we admit defeat, everything will be over."

Yan Yunge smiled and said, "Of course I won't admit defeat. Since I can't fight, then let's get along! The salt produced in Pingyang County is of top quality and has no impurities. Such salt is enough to attract a large number of buyers.

Aristocratic families envy us for cooking salt recipes, so we can cooperate! We have money to make money together. Pingyang County does not do retail, so we do wholesale and wholesale salt to major aristocratic families. We make a little profit and give them the high profits at the terminal.

I firmly believe that as long as there is enough profit, it can impress and win over a group of aristocratic families, divide them, and provoke their relationship. In the final analysis, we need to give the aristocratic families a signal to tell them that Pingyang County is not about challenging their status, Pingyang County just wants to join them and become a member of the aristocratic family circle. Only in this way can they accept us and give up the blockade."

Xiao Yi was a little hesitant and confused, "Are you sure you can give up the profits and impress those families?"

Yan Yunge smiled, "All people who are not profitable will certainly be moved. The huge family means that they need a lot of money to maintain a decent life that matches their identities. Decent life and reputation are all accumulated through a lot of money. Poor haha, there is no right to talk about decentness, so it doesn't matter whether the reputation is good or bad. A big enough profit is so big that even a family that is not short of money will have to be moved."

“How much profit?”

"Who is not tempted by a profit of 10 million chunks a year? Can you regard this money as nothing?"

Yan Yunge takes action and is at the level of tens of millions.

She has invested a lot of money.

Xiao Yi's throat rolled, a little nervous, and felt his throat was hoarse and uncomfortable.

"You are sure it's ten million guan, not one million guan."

Yan Yunge sneered, very contemptuous and disdainful, "If you can't even impress my wife, how can you impress those top families? At least a profit of ten million yuan, you can achieve the goal of moving wealth.

The recipe for boiling salt will not be handed over. But the profit can be given out. The premise is to allow the goods from Pingyang County to dump the world and recruit craftsmen and labor from the world. Without long-term cooperation, it is enough to be able to cooperate for three or five years!"

Xiao Yi was a little dizzy, and the amount was really huge.

What's even bigger is Yan Yunge's tone.

Pingyang County is heavily in debt, so where can it get a profit of ten million?

All are foolings!

Xiao Yi shook his head and sighed that his wife was indeed well versed in the great way of cheating, and had already practiced to the point of perfection.

A big fool!

But even he was about to be moved.

He gave him ten million yuan a year and he built a country for her.

Fuck...

Before I could make a profit of a penny, I started to negotiate a business worth tens of millions of dollars a year.

Great!

Which bragging technology is better?

Please contact Mrs. Yan, Pingyang County!

"What are you shaking your head? I think my idea is a fantasy and it is impossible to achieve?"

Xiao Yi coughed lightly, "Do you have a goal? Which family do you plan to win over?"

Yan Yunge pursed his lips and smiled, "Of course he is an old acquaintance, one is the Ling family, one is the Zhong family, and the other is the Shi family. By the way, give the emperor some sweetness, so that the emperor can have the capital to stir up trouble in the court, and help us restrain those aristocratic families who are idle and have nothing to do. To create more trouble for the aristocratic families, it is to help Pingyang County."

"How to give the emperor a sweet treat?"

Yan Yunge pursed his lips and smiled, "We cooperate with Shaofu to seize the world market together. The south is rich and has a large population, and it is a very large market. It is best for everyone to fight in this market. If you fight to death, Pingyang County can ensure safety and will not be paid special attention.

Of course, we cannot forget the northern market. The northern market is handed over to the Yan family, Liu family, and Shi family. I believe that the Liu family and Shi Wen Shi family in Liangzhou are willing to cooperate with Pingyang County to buy good and cheap goods and join this trade melee."

Yan Yunge vowed to muddle the water in this pond to facilitate fishing in the muddy waters.

If you want to block Pingyang County, don’t first see if you are a solid person.
