Chapter 552 The fish and dragon helper bully the master, Xu Fengnian returned to the cold
After the battle, Lu Yunchang reluctantly followed the three of them to pick up the broken limbs of the famous swords. The young man really couldn’t figure out that the immortal master had such a family background, so why was he still as petty as a wife in charge of the house? Wang Sheng is not as heartless as Lu Yunchang, and he is so sad when he picks up a sword and holds it. Lu Yunchang is a swordsman who looks down on swordsmanship, but she is different. She is inevitably worried that dozens of magical weapons that were once famous were destroyed. When Lu Yunchang threw the last handful of broken sword into the carriage, he caught a glimpse of Wang Sheng’s insolent appearance and teased him like a woman, but he was a little taller and not as good as a woman. In anger, Wang Sheng reached out and held the yellow goose on his waist. In an instant, the sword energy was full of radiance and should not be underestimated. The bold Lu Yunchang was not afraid at all. He grinned, revealing a mouthful of white teeth. His palm spun around the handle of the Great Frost Long Sword, his eyes were hot, and he asked Wang Sheng whether to fight or win who would be the great apprentice of the Immortal Master. Wang Sheng’s face changed and he didn’t speak. For a moment, the boy and girl were in a stalemate. The old spy couldn’t stand this childish internal strife, so that each of them would fight fifty steps, so that the two little kids could know the importance. Not only did the young vassal king not persuade him to make peace, but instead added fuel to the fire and made them make a vow to fight three years later, and be at stake. Afterwards, the old spy asked the reason privately. Xu Fengnian smiled and said that he deliberately let the two children be whetstones for each other, and would not hide their own interests. He would grant the world the best sword skills respectively. He also wanted to see the outcome of the sword battle.
When the carriage reached the border of Youzhou, Lu Yunchang heard a rapid sound of horse hooves that had never been heard in other states, which was single but extremely heavy. The boy quickly loosened the reins, jumped onto the horse’s back, looking up, but he saw a scene that the boy would never forget for the rest of his life: hundreds of elite riders were all white horses and white armor, wearing cool swords and strong crossbows, and the undulation of the horse’s back was absolutely the same as the landing of the horse’s hooves. No wonder he came galloping on the post road, and only heard the sound, like a war horse running. The Northern Liang horse and the Xu family’s cold sword are all treasures that other vassal kings in Liyang are salivating. Lu Yunchang is no better than the ignorant Wang Sheng. The Wudi City is mixed with fish and dragons. Lu Yunchang, who is curious, has a brief knowledge of the affairs of the rivers and lakes and temples. He traveled westward, and the young man probably guessed the identity of the fairy boy. However, as a gangster who is scattered around the market in the East China Sea, he never knew the scenery of the northwest border, and could not imagine the majesty of the Xu family’s iron cavalry in the northwest. At this time, the young man had the most intuitive impression. He only felt that he could give him thousands of cavalry, and even if the masters of Wudi City were like clouds, he could crush several rounds. For a moment, the boy was a little confused and felt that he would close the door and practice the knife. He would practice the knife all the time. It would be better to go to the border to join the army and practice the killing knife.
The eight hundred white horses were halfway through. When he saw King Liang, he dismounted his horse and knelt down with his knife. Xu Fengnian glanced at him casually, mostly with new faces. This is not surprising. Most of the group of personal guards and cavalrymen were confidant and infiltrated into the army in various places, especially the group of white horses who followed him to Tiemen Pass to intercept the prince Zhao Kai.Most of them have a good official position. Even if the official rank is not high, they are all in their hands. Some young people who show outstanding performance on the battlefield, such as the ruthless son Hong Shuwen, even jumped over the dragon gate and had a bright future. Xu Fengnian raised his arm and signaled the white horse light cavalry to get on and follow him and continue moving forward.
Xu Fengnian did not go straight to Liangzhou’s vassal palace, but turned to Lingzhou in the middle of the journey, and only brought two children Wang Sheng and Lu Yunchang. The old spy followed Bai Ma Yicong to Liangzhou first, and then went to Chu Lushan’s Fushui Room to “dian Mao”. Xu Fengnian went to see the Orange Governor who was cheated from Beimang, Xu Beizhi. The solar term in the northwest is connected by spring and autumn, so it is called winter and no summer. It does not mean that there is no hot summer season. When it is time to be hot, it is often much hotter than other places. The earth is high and the sky is near, and there is nowhere to hide. The sun is naturally harsh. However, as the beginning of autumn is approaching, there is no sign of a cool breeze coming. This makes Lu Yunchang, who is not accommodating with the local environment, feel sick. Wang Sheng, who has been tempered by the life of the lower class, is fine, and he is diligent in practicing swords as always. Huangnan County, which was passing south, is the Beiliang granary. The reed stream is continuous and the aquatic plants are plump. It is not only the main throat for the blockage, but also the waist of the Liangxi Corridor. At this time, middle rice, corn, etc. have begun to grout and mature, and late rice has also begun to thrive and grow ears, cracking bells and spitting out catkins. The unique style of Jiangnan outside the blockage makes the two children amazed. Along the way south, the two children were always more attentive than Xu Fengnian. One carried a big white sheath knife and the other carried a sword box, but seven or eight swords were tied to it. He didn’t look like a young ranger, but he looked like a bad sword seller.
Before entering Lingzhou Prefecture City, the three of them met a raft team from north to south on the official road. Everyone rode a tall horse, and the carriage was particularly luxurious and luxurious. They were under the banner of “Liu” and a black goldfish and dragon embroidered on the flag. The escort team had some problems with a group of foreign scholars. Logically speaking, Beiliang is very dependent on the scholars who are going to Liang. As long as there are a few real talents in their belly, they will be given a reward. Ordinary people should retreat. However, the escort team beat the brightly dressed scholars to cry and call them to their parents without saying a word. After suffering, all their eyes were resentful. Lu Yunchang was very clear about the veins of the rivers and lakes. When he saw the flag, he said with envy, “Wang Mutou, stare at it. It is the Yulong Gang. Now one of the top ten sects in the Jianghu! Although it is not as noble as the Kuaishen Villa beside Chunshen Lake, and it is even higher than the Moon Tower in Huishan Daxueping, but the Yulong Gang dares to accept any of the Yulong Gang. No matter you are a big thief or a green forest bandit, as long as you have the ability, you can get a good position in the Yulong Gang. Therefore, this gang is famous for its many people and no one takes it seriously. As long as a few gangs outside of Beiliang provoke the Yulong Gang, even if they are separated by a state, the Yulong Gang dares to rush over with one or two hundred people under the banner of darting. Hey, the local governments dare not fart.”
Xu Fengnian was indifferent, and later met the governor Xu Beizhi at a former site called Jiahe Cang outside Lingzhou City. This warehouse was once the largest granary in the world in ancient times, and its scale is not inferior to that of the current dynasty.Two royal granaries located on Tai’an City and Guangling Road – Bei Jingfeng and Nan Ganlu, are known together. However, Jiahe Cang has not been opened for several dynasties, and it has been abandoned and has a big air. When the General Secretary Li Gongde was also the governor of Lingzhou, he thought about repairing this warehouse, but unfortunately no one responded and could not speak out, so he had to give up. First, repairing Jiahe Ware requires a huge amount of silver, and second, it requires great courage to transfer grain into the warehouse. Moreover, when the grain enters the official warehouse, the government will be like a big loser, which means that it will cost money to raise grain every day. Ordinary granaries can also make money from shameful night grass, but once the Jiahe warehouse is restored, it is destined to be a military important place that even young vassal kings have to stare at. Whoever dares to make trouble in this place is not a matter of long life or something new governor Xu Beizhi, or in this context, he is willing to overdraw Lingzhou taxes and is determined to rebuild Jiahe warehouse. In the eyes of the officialdom, it is a one-time and one-time thing to say, while it is a one-time thing to say, and it is a one-time thing to say, and it is a one-time thing to say, and it is a one-time thing to say, and it is a one-time thing to say, and it is a one-time thing to say, and it is a one-time thing to say, and it is a one-time thing to say, and it is a one-time thing to say. The old foxes in the Lingzhou officialdom did not dare to stand by and watch, but secretly put a lot of small trips. If Jiahe Cang Zhen struggled with that naughty green, she would have to cut off countless ways of wealth. A large Jiahe warehouse can not only collect taxes from the entire Lingzhou to pay the salaries of officials and local military salaries, but also can also reduce the price of grain and prepare for shortages. This allows those arrogant private charity warehouses to obtain huge profits through the natural disasters and man-made disasters every now and then, from top to bottom, from rank officials to clerks to errands, all of whom work tacitly did not work hard, and often caused some right and wrong that hindered the progress of the project. Lord Xu, who was ridiculed as the “Governor of Liangzhou”, did not do anything. Someone was furious for this, and did not kill the chicken to warn the monkey. He just borrowed two thousand soldiers from the General of Lingzhou, and then asked for three thousand corvee-service men with the chiefs of Huangnan County and Longjing County who could control. He almost completely left the orthodox officialdom of Lingzhou. At the same time, he sent Song Yan, a different leader of Lingzhou, to rectify the large and small official warehouses in Lingzhou. Once he found out that there were illegal acts, he would not make a big move. At most, he would remove the official hat and change it to the clean foreign scholar to sit in that position. The officialdom of Shanglingzhou was generally not subject to unbearable turmoil, but a small group of big figures with clear minds finally realized it and began to go to the much deserted strategy to get in and out of the mansion.
The outside of Jiahe Cang was very cautious, and Xu Fengnian did not reveal his identity. He just asked a young commander to help him pass the message, saying that the chief clerk of Bishan County, Yanzhi County, Youzhou was an old acquaintance of the governor. Xu Beizhi, who had been sleeping in the former Jiahe Cang site for some time, came quickly, and was even more dusty than Xu Fengnian, a traveler. The youngest governor in Beiliang history looked exhausted, but he was in good spirits. He was not surprised after seeing Xu Fengnian and walked side by side with him silently, which shocked the captain. Jiahe Cang built a large-scale construction and was in full swing. Xu Beizhi was regarded as a prodigal son of Lingzhou Tianzi. He raised his sleeves and wiped his face with a plastered face. He said as he walked: “Jiahe Cang was the second warehouse of the Qin Dynasty eight hundred years ago, only inferior to Luoyang Cang. It is said that it is a granary, but it is actually no different from a city with both offense and defense. Cangcheng EastIt is one and a half miles long in the west, two miles wide in the north and south, with more than 300 granaries and less than fifty grain cellars. However, this is not counted. During the renovation, you can clearly see the source of grain, the year and month of entering the cellar, and the name of the title of the millet official inscribed in the ancient bricks. Each year of the Qin Dynasty has declined, and everything has traces to follow. I originally thought that admiring the past and defaming the present was a bad habit, but after I arrived at Jiahe Cang, I realized that some things were done better by the ancients. “
Xu Fengnian smiled and said, “The people’s wisdom is gradually increasing, and good and bad are mixed. Otherwise, the Taoist ancestors would not have proposed the idea of abandoning the saints and abandoning wisdom. The world’s winds are getting worse, and it will be mentioned more and more in the future. There are already few scholars in Beiliang, but they are not the same in the officialdom. If you are in Jiangnan where the roots of the Hao Valve are intertwined, you will be unable to perform them. Here, after all, there are military officers who suppress it, and the time for civil servants to raise their heads is short. “
Xu Beizhi sighed and said in a deep voice: “As long as the Jiahe Warehouse is completed, the autumn harvest of the three states this year is used as a source of grain, which can support the grain and grass required for the border war for two years. However, the premise is that the counties and counties in various places will not deduct it from each other, and the civil charity warehouse will not interfere with it if they shrink their claws. Otherwise, not to mention two years, half a year will be a luxury. Time is not waiting for me. In fact, if I can slowly take it, I can even let local grain merchants go and say goodbye to the state to buy grain at high prices to make it cool. This little silver is nothing. Once the war begins, let alone gold and silver, even the land cannot be worth more than ready-made grain. However, the 20 years of stability in Beiliang have become their confidence to be short-sighted. It is really ridiculous. Those who brought their seeds and grandchildren out of the country even spoke out, allowing the grain storage in Yichuang to rot and not sell a good grain of rice to Jiahezhuang at a high price. This reminds me of my grandfather when he talked about the struggle between neighbors. If he had only one cent of money and three cents of money, then he would rather not make a profit from everyone else than get the other two more. “
No matter how angry he was, Xu Beizhi’s tone was always light.
Xu Fengnian stopped at the front door of a granary with green and gray tiles and smiled and said, “Lingzhou is so excited and disgusting you, so let them do it, but I can guarantee you that the autumn grains in Liangyou and the two states will definitely be filled into the Jiahe warehouse. Then, the guys who escaped the disaster when I was the General of Lingzhou will settle the score for you in the future. Anyway, from today on, the so-called priceless antique treasures can be moved as they take out Beiliang Road, but you can’t even take one or two silver, gold and a pound of white rice out of it. “
Xu Beizhi sneered bluntly: “You think you can do something so clear that you will have no fish. Those generals and chiefs guarding the border will not get involved in the relationship.”
Xu Fengnian said helplessly: “It’s better to do nothing.”
Xu Beizhi’s expression soothed a little bit and nodded. When the vassal kings around him left Lingzhou swagger, they did not really touch the scales of the Lingzhou officialdom. There were also the double amulets of the General of Lingzhou and the Crown Prince. No one really dared to tear his face apart, but when Xu Beizhi personally ruled Lingzhou, which was mixed with dragons and snakes,It is inevitable to touch the last bottom line of the local area. Besides, Xu Beizhi was not an old man from Beiliang like Li Gongde. He suddenly became powerful and powerful. Even if Song Yan and the four Wang clans helped to help solve the siege, and the general of Lingzhou “stands with the sword” for him, the officialdom has always been complicated and unpredictable. The rules of the king, human nature, and patriarchal law are mixed in, and each has conflicts. A bunch of slaughter. The so-called random knife cutting can only succeed for a while, but in fact the disaster is still profound. Xu Beizhi was in it, and as long as he did something, he would naturally make enemies on all sides. Chen Liangxi, who started to deal with the salt administration and the canal transportation at that time, was a lesson for the past. Chen Liangxi was not without a good medicine for curing the disease at that time, but so what if he had a strategy, he was still sneering in his heart. Xu Beizhi was a little weak-hearted and could be bullied by everyone. How could he stand on the North Liang Road, where the people were so handsome that he could stand alone in Liuzhou, the fourth state of refugee land? Even if Chen Liangxi successfully defended the city and was not destroyed by nearly 10,000 horse thieves, he also left a comment of indecisiveness and kindness. Even if he had the opportunity to preside over a territory in the future, he would not have thought of making achievements in local political affairs.
Xu Fengnian suddenly asked, “The Fish and Dragon Gang frequently engages in border trade, is there any rules that have surpassed the rules?”
Xu Beizhi said, “There are spies watching. Since there are no spies sent to the desk of the governor’s residence, I guess there is no ban.”
After pausing for a moment, Xu Beizhi frowned and asked, “I have acted in a boundary manner.”
Xu Fengnian shook his head and said, “It probably hasn’t.”
Xu Beizhi said calmly, “The woman surnamed Liu has not visited me so far, probably to avoid suspicion, but such a disgraceful woman is a good leader of the second-rate gang in the state, and is destined to be unable to sit steadily on the top leader of the big gang in the whole world.”
