Chapter 5 You're in trouble

Yizhou has fertile land and abundant resources. The land of thousands of miles of plains are full of fertile land.

When the Great Zhou Empire was at its peak, Yizhou was once the logistics base for the empire to fight against the northern barbarians. A kind of thousand-ren silk produced by the Xiancheng of Shudu was also a good material for making bows and crossbows.

The crossbows are prohibited by the government and the people are not allowed to hide them without authorization. This is a great chaos in the world, and the attitudes of the princes in various places are the same.

Although there are all the elite cavalry in the world that are cold and the vicious crossbows are more famous as the string city, nowadays, the world is in chaos, and the craftsmanship of making vicious crossbows in various places is either lost or privately kept by the princes. The craftsmen who can make vicious crossbows are even more in short supply.

Although Xia Yunhua's years of becoming the King of Shu cannot be said to have imposed heavy taxes and extravagant desires, she is definitely not a wise ruler.

Yizhou's military facilities were slack and people's livelihood was difficult. If it weren't for the natural dangers between the east and west rivers, it was easy to defend but difficult to attack, I'm afraid the Liang army would have attacked in long ago.

Although Xia Yunhua gave Yang Xian the right to open a mansion, he did not give him one to others or money to give him a name.

If Yang Xian wants to stand independent in Yizhou and even resist the invasion of Daliang, it is essential to have a strong army. Among them, having a powerful crossbow team is an urgent task.

Over the past few days, Yang Xian has accumulated two skill points. He has not lit up those extremely powerful martial arts skills. With the protection of a master of the grandmaster level like Yang Chun, his safety is temporarily safe.

In addition to the offensive skills of each faction, the most special thing in this reflection of the starry sky is the life skills in the game.

Compared with those complicated martial arts skills, these life skills do not consume much skill points, but they are extremely practical.

The first life skill that Yang Xian lit up was manufacturing. After he had the manufacturing skill, he easily obtained the manufacturing diagram of the crossbow.

However, troubles followed one after another. With the manufacturing drawings, it was impossible to create a powerful crossbow. Yang Xian still had one biggest problem that had not been solved.

That's no money!

Whether it is the acquisition of materials, to the hiring of craftsmen, to the construction of the arsenal of the Prime Minister's Mansion to collect crossbows, or the expenses required to maintain crossbows, it is a considerable expense.

King Xia Yunhua of Shu was irreverent, and the person who controlled the finances in Yizhou was either the King Xia Yunhua of Shu or the four major families of Li, Zhang, Yan and Huang. It was even more impossible to ask for money from those aristocratic families.

So in order to solve this problem, Yang Xian lit up his second life skill, food.

These life skills are secondary in the game. Players are almost always repeating their operations mechanically every day, and food skills are even more useless.

However, for Yang Xian, these are of great use.

"Xiangfu, the dishes you cook are delicious!"

Xia Gong Nie is a foodie, and he is also an extraordinary foodie.

"Come on, take a silk-pulled yam!"

Yang Xian picked up a yam and handed it to Xia Gongni. The other party was like a gentle kitten, swallowing the yam that was cut into small pieces in one bite.

The sweet yam has been steamed and it has been crushed without having to bite it. Xia Gongnei ate the dish made by Yang Xian himself, his face full of smiles.

For Yang Xian, feeding himself can increase the loyalty of Xia Gong Nie. For a foodie like Xia Gong Nie, food is almost everything.

"Your Highness, do you still make the dishes today to your highness's taste?"

"The dishes you cook are so delicious! None of the imperial chefs in the palace can compare with Xiangfu! Is it good for Nir to come to Xiangfu's mansion every day in the future?"

Yang Xian looked at the dishes on this table, the food of four or five adult strong men, and now they all entered Xia Gong Nie's belly. Judging from the other person's appearance, he seemed to be not full.

"Okay, okay, okay! Your Highness wants to come to my residence, it is my honor."

Yang Xian gritted his teeth and said, "According to the way Xia Gongnie eats, three meals a day, plus midnight snacks, he will be exhausted even if he is not poor."

"What did that minister and Your Highness say?"

"Don't worry, Xiangfu. Isn't it just a matter of striking a car? I'll leave it to Nie'er! Those people dare to bully Xiangfu, I think they don't want to live anymore."

Xia Gongni was satisfied with eating, touched his belly, and said domineeringly.

It was a mild afternoon.

Li Yu, the son of the Li family, wandered on the bustling streets of the Xiancheng City. As the legitimate son of a noble family, he fully inherited the excellent tradition of the second generation of ancestors bullying men and dominating women.

The news that King Xia Yunhua of Shu was terminally ill is no longer a secret in this huge city of strings. For the young masters of these aristocratic families, this is actually good news.

For them, the orthodox status of the Xia family is no big deal. Tied to the Xia family, the biggest problem is that they cannot escape.

Once Xia Yunhua collapses, only Xia Gongni and Yang Xian are their obstacles in Yizhou. If they can get rid of these obstacles and seek refuge in Daliang, then they will not only be able to preserve their current wealth, but also be promoted to the title.

In Li Yu's opinion, no matter how arrogant Yang Xian is, he is just a young boy with a stinky breast. Xia Gongni is even more a yellow-haired girl. Can he make a fuss?

Li Yu was in a good mood today. Even if he met a merchant who accidentally offended him, he did not punch and kick as usual, but instead let him go with a smile.

Li Yu's good mood lasted for a long time until he met a little girl.

"Oh hey!"

A little girl wearing a cloth dress and braids walked straight towards him, and then fell to the ground without any surprise. She was so skillful that she was very professional at first glance.

"Why are you hitting me?"

Seeing this dirty girl with a gray face, Li Yu had no intention of attacking her. Who knew that the little girl was reluctant to give in.

"Give money!"

This is the first time Li Yu has seen such a person who is willing to do anything. In the past, he was the only one who bullied others, so no one dared to provoke him.

"Where did the little girl movie come from? How dare you block my way! Get out of here!"

"Dare you scold me?"

When ordinary people meet Li Yu, they have already left. But this little girl is still tucked in her waist, looking fierce.

"You little bastard who has a father but no mother, I not only want to scold you, but also beat you!"

Li Yu stretched out his hand and was about to slap him. However, Li Yu's hand reached halfway and suddenly felt a powerful attack behind him.

A touch of a sound.

When Li Yu got up from the ground covered in dust, he found that the surroundings were already surrounded by soldiers, and the subordinates he brought were also subdued by these people.

"Who are you? Do you even have to die if you dare to hit me?"

"Mr. Li is such a great official power!"

Yang Xian walked out of the crowd slowly and said slowly.

"Yang Xian!" Li Yu seemed to realize something and shouted loudly, "What do you want to do?"

"Of course I'm catching you!"

After Yang Xian said that, more than a dozen soldiers from the Yang Mansion rushed forward and tied Li Yu tightly.

"Yang Xian, why do you arrest me? It's because I didn't approve money to your Prime Minister's Office? You are revenge! My father will not let you go!"

Slap!

Two slap marks clearly hit Li Yu's face, and his face quickly became swollen. The pain made him calm down, who was already clamoring.

"Don't talk nonsense. How could the original person arrest someone privately because of disagreement in the court? Brother Li! You're having a big deal."

Yang Xian reached out and patted his shoulder seriously.

"Just, what did I do?"

Li Yu glanced at the Yang family soldiers who had just started beating him, and asked unwillingly.

"You are committing a heinous crime of insulting the royal family and intending to murder the Shu Taiwo! Not to mention Uncle Li Shi, I am afraid that the true nature will not be able to protect you!"

Li Yu seemed to remember something, and looked carefully at the little girl in a cloth clothes, looking like she had entered an ice cellar.

"take away!"

Xia Gongni trotted to Yang Xian with a look of compliment.

"Xiangfu, how did Nir act?"
