Chapter 593

Faced with the olive branch from the Yingchuan gentry, Shang Ji fell into hesitation.

Undecided, Shang Ji decided to find someone to discuss, but this negotiable candidate needs to be carefully considered.

First of all, Xun Yu was the first to be excluded. So far, Xun Yu has not officially recognized the master. Although the favorability has exceeded 90 points, he still does not recognize the master, which makes Shang Ji very helpless. However, because of Xun Yu's dedication to counseling Pingzhou, Shang Ji could only endure it for the time being.

In addition, even if Xun Yu recognized the master, Shang Ji did not dare to discuss this matter with him.

As I said before, loyalty is only a rough reference, and it does not mean that high loyalty will definitely make a decision in favor of the lord.

Many things have two sides, such as the establishment of another courtyard by the Yingchuan gentry in Pingzhou. Some people think he is a good thing, some people think he is a bad thing.

Both parties will give completely different answers from the perspective of business interests and the development of Pingzhou!

The only thing that can guarantee loyalty is the execution of subordinates after Shangji has made a clear decision! If Shang Ji rejects the Yingchuan gentry's vote, even if his loyal subordinates think that this order is not conducive to the future development of Pingzhou, they will also resolutely implement it.

Of course, the persuasion before execution must be indispensable. Just like Tian Feng and Jushou's attitude towards Yuan Shao in real history, although the lord did not listen to me, I will never betray the lord.

Back to the question just now, Xun Yu was born in the Xun family after all. Being nurtured by the Xun family since childhood, it was difficult for Xun Yu to guarantee objective fairness when things involved the Xun family and the major families in Yingchuan.

For the same reason, Xi Zhicai was also excluded.

Because of the previous experience, Xi Zhicai expressed strong dissatisfaction with the aristocratic family, making it difficult for Xi Zhicai to give a fair suggestion.

After many calculations, in the end, only Liu Yi and Deng Yan were left suitable for discussing with Shang Ji.

After receiving Shang Ji's news, the two quickly came to the City Lord's Mansion, and quietly listened to Shang Ji's introduction of the situation, and the two also fell silent.

It's really hard to decide!

With their wisdom, the pros and cons of accepting the Yingchuan gentry can be seen at a glance, the only problem is the choice! Even the Yingchuan gentry themselves clearly know the problem, but what they are doing is a conspiracy, the temptation is here, and the hidden danger is also here, it depends on how you decide.

The three of them were silent for about a quarter of an hour, then Deng Yan slowly and suddenly said: "Brother, Brother Yu has a few things here, I would like to ask you to take a look."

Although it was a bit strange, Shang Ji still waved his hand and made a gesture of invitation.

Seeing Shang Ji nodding, Deng Yan stood up and came to a table next to him. With a wave of his hand, the ring on his hand flashed a faint light, and then he saw a pile of objects appear on the table.

Shang Ji and Liu Yi also stood up, took a closer look, and found that there were three jars of wine on the table, a full-body rattan armor, a knife, a pot of arrows, nine books, three tokens, and several ultra-miniature guards. city ​​equipment.

Deng Yan took a step back, pointed to the items on the table and said, "Two brothers, let's take a look, this is a congratulatory gift from the princes of the world for this ceremony of conferring gods."

Shang Ji and Liu Yi stepped forward at the same time and checked one by one.

The first is Santan Liquor. The name of the wine is Tianyoude, which is very normal. But the name is not enough, and a highland barley wine is added after it. The full name is Tianyoude Highland Barley Wine.

The three jars of wine are of the same type, but they are divided into three different grades.

The attributes of the highest level God Blessed King are:

[Tianyou De Highland Barley King]: Delicious and mellow top-grade liquor, which contains unique spiritual power, can quickly replenish internal power consumption, and enter a fearless state within an hour after drinking, greatly reducing the effects of skills such as intimidation and weakness, and improving individual strength ten percent. Reduce the influence of non-lethal damage on individual combat power.

Long-term drinking can improve personal strength, enhance physical strength, and increase the speed of cultivation. There is a very small probability of activating the feature [Drunkard].

"This is a congratulatory gift sent by Dong Zhuo. The three kinds of wine were given five thousand, one thousand, and one hundred altars respectively. Said it was a congratulatory gift,

In fact, it is the goods traded with us. The three kinds of wine are priced at one gold, ten gold, and one hundred gold respectively. The price is expensive, but the taste is really good, the two brothers might as well try it. "

Deng Yan introduced the altar and opened the altar of highland barley.

A unique aroma of wine immediately filled the air. Shang Ji took the wine jar and took a sip directly. After drinking the fine wine, a warm current surged from his lower abdomen.

With Shang Ji's strength, it is already very good that a sip of wine can have this effect, barely comparable to Lingmi.

"The other two effects are not as good as the Highland Barley King, but they are equally effective for ordinary soldiers, especially for improving morale. They can have an immediate effect. Large-scale purchases can be considered as military reserves."

Deng Yan continued to introduce.

Shang Ji frowned slightly, and handed the remaining half jar of wine to Liu Yi.

Liu Yi didn't dislike it either, and drank it all in one gulp, feeling the effect of the wine, and also frowned slightly.

"This set of rattan armor is a congratulatory gift from Yanhuang. There are a total of one thousand sets. I have ordered someone to do a test. Except for the weakness of being afraid of fire, the other functions are very good. The defense power can be compared to ordinary golden-level defensive equipment. And Compared with normal equipment of the same level, the weight is very light. However, the price Yanhuang offered us is only 70% of normal gold-level equipment."

After a pause, Deng Yan added: "It's 70% of the cost of our own blacksmith workshop!"

Shang Ji and Liu Yi remained silent, and Deng Yan didn't care about their reactions. He picked up the knife on the table and continued: "The congratulatory gift from Sun Jian, the prefect of Changsha, is a thousand Shanyue long knives. All of them are of Jinmang grade. , light in weight and exceptionally sharp, the only downside is that due to the excessive pursuit of sharpness, the blade is slightly fragile, and it may be more disadvantageous when confronted with blunt weapons. It can also be traded on a large scale, and currently we do not have the same type of product in Pingzhou."

"Explosive flying feather arrows, Yuan Shu's congratulatory gift from Runan, there are only five hundred pots, a total of 10,000 pieces. The body of the arrow is a kind of light bamboo unique to Runan, and the arrow feathers are a kind of feather called flamingo. It is Yuan Shu's unique secret technology. This arrow not only has a range about half as far as ordinary arrows, but also has an explosive effect. After hitting the target, the cluster of arrows will automatically explode, causing secondary damage to the enemy. The explosive effect I have ordered After a test, it is roughly equivalent to a full blow from a fifth-level soldier."

After finishing speaking, Deng Yan looked up at Liu Yi, and continued: "All Xingyao Qiangbows are replaced with this kind of arrows. It is not a problem to double the combat effectiveness, provided that our finances are not bankrupt!"

"Yuan Shu is so black-hearted, the price he gave is a piece of hardware!"

Liu Yi's hope that had just been ignited was shattered in an instant, and even Shang Ji who was next to him was secretly speechless.

With the combat efficiency of Xingyao Qiang Bow, a school of 50,000 people can shoot 200,000 to 300,000 arrows in a few breaths, which is equivalent to a million dollars in gold coins. This kind of combat consumption is absolutely unaffordable. .

"These nine cheat books are samples of congratulatory gifts provided by Bohai Yuan Shao, one for each of the three different types of high-level inner strength techniques, and one for each of the high-level martial arts cheat books for knives, spears, and bows.

"First Aid Chapter" suitable for literati's enlightenment study, advanced "Book of Filial Piety" and "Poetry". There are one hundred books of each of these nine kinds of cheat books, plus a total of one hundred other cheat books of various colors, a total of one thousand cheat books. Similarly, these are tradable, Yuan Shao said, as long as we give money, there is no limit to sales! At the same time, there are also a large number of high-level martial arts cheats such as human level and prefecture level for sale. "

Shang Ji took a deep breath, pointed to the remaining tokens and ultra-micro instruments on the table and asked, "Whose are these?"

"The token was given by Cao Cao. The name of the token is the law of law. It is divided into three levels: junior high school and high school, corresponding to three types of cities: small, medium and large. After using it, the crime rate in the city can be greatly reduced within the next month, and the city is stable. Order, improve administrative efficiency, improve people's hearts, and have excellent effects on the cities that have just been captured. Ten coins are given to beginners, five coins are given to intermediate players, and only one coin is given to advanced players. Of course, if we give money, Cao Cao will also open the supply! "

"As for this..." Deng Yan weighed several ultra-miniature city defense equipment, and introduced to Shang Ji: "The congratulatory gifts from Liu Bei and Liu Xuande are all models because it is inconvenient to display. But Mr. Gongshuchi has seen the real thing Then his face was gloomy, and he hasn't come out of the research field for several days!"

After Deng Yan finished his introduction, he kept silent, and the hall fell into silence again.

"Hehe, so the rumors are mostly true?"

After a long time, I heard Shang Ji chuckled and asked back.

"Ninety-nine are inseparable. Now it is certain that Liu Bei is recognized by the Mohists, Cao Cao is favored by the Legalists, and Yuan Shao fully accepts novelists. It seems that Dong Zhuo has also reached an alliance with the mysterious Yin-Yang School."

"Hahaha, these hermit schools can't help showing themselves? This world is getting more and more interesting!"

"Dong Zhuo sent highland barley wine, Yanhuang gave Tengjia, and Sun Jian gave Shanyue Changdao. It seems that everyone else was not idle when we conquered Goguryeo!"

The main production areas of highland barley are under the control of the Qiang people. Dong Zhuo dared to say that he could supply unlimited highland barley wine, which means that he has completely stabilized the rear.

Shanyue spread all over the southeast region. With Sun Jian's current ability, it is impossible to subdue all Shanyue, but the Shanyue near Changsha has obviously surrendered to this Jiangdong tiger.

As for the rattan armor, it is the classic equipment of the Nanman, coupled with the outstanding strength of Yanhuang's top combat power that has been shown before, the result of the war between Yanhuang and the Nanman is self-evident.

And Liu Caoyuan and others, who can expand without the presence of foreign races, are not idle.

The Mohist school is not only good at making defensive equipment, the Mohist school, which once suppressed Confucianism and other schools of thought, is not only good at lip service. Mozi used to be a mess in Gongshuban's best field. In fact, the Mohists can even single out the Confucianism, Legalism and Taoism Alliance.

Even the weakest novelist exudes a different style in the flames of war, Yuan Shao dared to sell unlimited cheats, thanks to the support of the novelist behind him.

More importantly, these are all sold and traded by them. If you think about it with your ass, you know that the real good things must be kept for yourself!

After a few months of hard work, while Pingzhou's strength has been greatly improved, the other princes are obviously not standing still. Even improving faster than Shang Ji in some places, Yuan Shao, Dong Zhuo and others have too much innate advantages. The control area is the essence of the Huaxia District, far from being comparable to the barren mountains and wild mountains like Pingzhou.
