Chapter 1514: Trust
At the army camp gate, Prince Ning mounted his horse.
Li Chen stood on the spot, cupped his hands and smiled: "Uncle Wang, farewell."
The King of Ning sat astride his horse, but instead of immediately departing, he looked at Li Chen and said, "The Sixteen Riders of Yan Yun will never be the main force."
Li Chen raised an eyebrow and said, "In the conditions I offered to Wang Shu, there was no room for bargaining."
King Ning said faintly, "This is the bottom line."
Besides, this king will order the Yan Yun Sixteen Cavalry to obey your commands.
This time, Li Chen didn't say anything more, just said: "A gentleman's word."
"A horse-drawn chariot can't catch up."
King Ning finished his sentence and then rode away on horseback.
Looking at King Ning's departing figure, Li Chen remained expressionless.
Soon, Li Chen returned to the City Lord's Mansion.
"Bring me the brushes and ink."
Li Chen ordered.
Xiao Wa immediately brought ink and brushes, while Wan Jiaojiao very naturally stood beside Li Chen and began grinding the ink for him.
Li Chen pondered for a moment, then raised his wrist and began to write.
Li Chen's first piece of writing was an imperial edict.
Grant the title of Prince Ning to be a one-word Pingjiang King by imperial decree.
The Qin Empire had a title called "Pingjian Wang" (平肩王), but it was mostly a nominal position with little actual power.
This link alone, just the name, already proves too much. Anyone who receives it has already reached the pinnacle of power, with no more to be given or taken away.
So Li Chen gave it very readily.
It's just a title, the King of Ning likes it, so give it to him.
Li Chen has never been a stingy person. He has always been generous to both his own people and his enemies.
The second one
is a letter.
The letter is addressed to Xu Changqing and forwarded to Zhao Xuanji.
There are only two things in total.

The first thing was to have Xu Changqing immediately exchange the silver raised from the latest bond issuance into supplies and send them to the front lines with all our might.
The second matter is to publicly announce the granting of a title upgrade to Prince Ning, raising him to the rank of Pingjian Wang. Furthermore, all relevant government departments are hereby ordered to immediately begin preparations for the division of Gansu and Shaanxi provinces, with half being allocated to expand Prince Ning's fiefdom.
There is nothing much to say about the first order. The purpose of the national bonds is precisely for this war. With the funds brought by Li Chen, most of it has already arrived. Now, there are still about ten million taels of materials being prepared. As the decisive battle is approaching, the battle Li Chen wants to fight can be difficult, it can result in casualties, but it must not be constrained by logistics.
As for the second command, Li Chen had thought it over carefully.
He eagerly awaited how Zhao Xuanji would react after the news of Feng Ning Wang being elevated to the title of Prince Pingjian, how King Wen would react, and how all the vassal kings throughout the land would respond.
After finishing the two letters, Li Chen got ready and had Xiaozi call Chen Tong over.
"Send this to the capital immediately."
Li Chen raised his hand, and Chen Tong respectfully took the two letters. He didn't dare to look at them too much and respectfully said, "I will go and handle it right away. By the way, Your Highness, this is a letter just received from the capital."
Li Chen nodded, took the stack of letters Chen Tong handed him, and began to look at them one by one.
Although Li Chen was not in the capital, he never relaxed his control over the political situation.
Even because of his departure, eyeliner was applied even more heavily.
After all, Li Chen doesn't have complete control over the political situation yet. If someone takes advantage of his absence to make some small moves, Li Chen must get information in advance.
The previous few letters were nothing special, mostly important reports, similar to those from Xu Changqing and Su Zhenti. Every day, they would summarize some important work and deliver it to Li Chen by express courier.
