Chapter 685: The Deal of the Night, the Benefits of Long Aotian
After Ma Lusha received the order, she naturally couldn't slack off, and flew back to Rongcheng directly to the Long family to invite the senior brother Long Aotian, but as soon as she arrived at the place, she was told that Long Aotian went to the fiefdom to do some big construction. Ma Lusha naturally knew Long Aotian's fiefdom, after the end of the Northern Xinjiang Demon Resistance, Long Aotian had met the king as one of the representatives of Shu, and he didn't know what means he used, not only let the king crown him Haoguangjun, but also let him receive a fief in Shu. Since then, Long Aotian has been engaged in the construction of fiefdoms, and it can be said that he started from scratch, building a small city from a wasteland in just a few years. The silk, refined salt, snow sugar, and fine wine produced in this city were sold in all directions, earning a large amount of wealth for Long Aotian. If the Shuhou Xize family is the nominal owner of the territory, then Long Aotian is the richest man in Shu.
In the last battle of Tianfang City, Long Aotian was not in Rongcheng, but hid in Xuncheng, a new city he established. Xun is the wind in the hexagram, and Long Aotian hopes that his city will be a free city as unruly as the wind.
This time, as soon as the army moved, he went to Xuncheng to develop some territory, and his position can be seen from this that earning money and enjoying life is much better than fighting life and death. It's not the first time Ma Lusha has come to look for him, but he is familiar with the road, but he didn't expect that this time Long Aotian also had a guest, a very handsome and elegant man, he said with a smile: "Then this matter is settled." ”
Ma Lusha just walked in, and looking at the situation, she could estimate that Long Aotian and him seemed to be discussing something important, but they had already reached a consensus. As for this person, Ma Lusha also knows that the big Situ of Shu is a member of the night family of the four major families in Shu like the night boat, and he is still the cousin of the night boat.
Ye Liangxiao was just about to leave, and Long Aotian, who was lying on the bamboo chair, suddenly spoke: "Brother Ye, why don't you come to me one day to help me take care of the accounts?"
Ye Liangxiao walked a few steps and turned his back to him and said, "Then I look forward to this one day." Then he bowed slightly to Marusa, who had come in, and left.
Ma Lusha returned the gift and didn't care, although the two knew each other, they didn't have much contact. Or Ye Liangxiao is far away from the military system of the entire Shu land, he is the great Situ of Shu land, mainly in charge of household registration and finance, although he is from the four major families, but he can sit on one of the six officials in the political circle of Shu at this age, and is in charge of the financial power of the first prince in the world, which shows his ability.
Long Aotian, who was lying on the bamboo chair, waved his hand when he saw Ma Lusha coming: "Yo, Senior Sister Ma, it's really rare." ”
"I've seen Big Brother. Ma Lusha saluted first, and saw Long Aotian lying comfortably on the bamboo chair, with two pretty little girls massaging and serving behind him.
Ma Lusha opened her mouth again and asked, "Senior brother, what are you doing here at night?"
There is a bit of respect for Ma Lusha at night, Shu is known as the first prince, and this strength is naturally indispensable. Although the Marquis of Shu has hundreds of years of accumulation in the family, but to be able to support such a big scene, she still needs two important people, one is naturally her master Sima Hui. The army of Shu was brought out by Sima Hui, and it fought with the rebel party, the imperial court, and other princes many times, and with the help of Yushan disciples, it was naturally invincible.
But maintaining such an army is not just a matter of relying on a few monks, Sima Hui is called Xiangguo, in fact, the main mind is still in the military, Yushan single-handedly led the Eastern Crusade, and naturally did not think too much about the livelihood of the people in Shu. That's why there is a situation like today, where an armistice would collapse the economy.
At this time, the importance of a good night is reflected, he single-handedly dominates the people's livelihood and finances in Shudi, and is also a strong guarantee for Sima Hui's 180,000 army.
Regarding Ma Lusha's question, Long Aotian had nothing to hide: "I was going to expand the city and wanted to move some displaced people, but he came to me to collect the resettlement expenses. ”
Ma Lusha said strangely: "Looking for you to charge? This doesn't make sense, isn't it a good thing to help Rongcheng solve the homeless people?" Since the invasion of the Duke of Jin in the north, half of Shunan Road has been lost in the south, and many homeless people have flocked to Rongcheng, this Ma Lusha knows. It stands to reason that these people have no food and clothing, and the Marquis of Shu still has to spend money to support them, and the local nobles don't want to carry this burden, so most of them are silent. Long Aotian wants to expand the city, so it is beneficial for both parties, just coax the homeless people over.
Long Aotian explained: "He said that according to the population movement control in Shudi, they can't come easily, so they need me to pay a resettlement fee. ”
Ma Lusha suddenly understood that Ye Liangxiao was here to ask for money. The so-called control of the movement of the population in Shu is a temporary law designated by Ye Liangxiao, and the reason is also very sufficient, the implementation of the separation control of the displaced people, on the one hand, can relieve the hidden danger of the riots of the displaced people, on the other hand, it is also convenient for the distribution of grain and straw, and the most important thing is to prevent the epidemic caused by the gathering of the displaced people. To be honest, the general direction of this management is fine, and the actual effect is also very good, fighting in the front and relocating displaced people in the rear. With so many things coming together, coupled with the benefits promised by persuading the Duke of Jin and the Suzaku Dynasty, the economy of Shu can still hold up, which can be seen in the ability of the night to have a good night.
In fact, putting aside all the crown articles, that is, Long Aotian wants the population, but Ye Liangxiao just doesn't let go of the useless homeless people, they all regard people as a kind of wealth to each other, the difference is that Long Aotian values the creation of the future, while Ye Liangxiao values the immediate interests. It's not that he doesn't have foresight, it's just that as the great Situ of Shu, how the homeless people turn around is within the scope of Shudi, and they take out their left pocket and change their right pocket, but Long Aotian has a lot of money, and it is not an exaggeration to make a fortune.
Long Aotian complained dissatisfiedly: "He is too fine, not only did he sell it to me, but also distinguished ordinary people from those who had skills and literacy, and these people had to increase the price, it was really calculated." Long Aotian had the intention not to give money, but Ye Liangxiao said that he would send these people to the front line as cannon fodder, Long Aotian naturally couldn't agree, ordinary people don't count, these skilled and literate people are really useful.
Ma Lusha smiled faintly, she knew that although Long Aotian was complaining, she had already recognized the money, Long Aotian had told her before that it was not good for Shu to make too much money, and she had to think of spending the money and earning it back.
Not to mention the resettlement of this homeless person, Long Aotian asked, "Senior sister, are you looking for me for something this time?" ”
Ma Lusha didn't hide it, the front line was fighting, and she must have asked for help when she came back at this time: "Don't hide it from Senior Brother, here's how it ......"
Long Aotian shook his head after hearing what happened: "Senior sister, you know, I really can't leave now, and in two days, a large number of displaced people will come over and need to be resettled......
Ma Lusha said disdainfully: "Forget it, senior brother, I won't use it to deal with the night night, let's talk about the point, aren't you a young beast who has always wanted Master's mount?" Sima Hui's mount is a kind of strange beast, this beast is similar to a lion, but it is even taller and more powerful, the fluff of the whole body is dyed fiery red, and between the low roars, the fireworks are all over the body, as if a roar can steam the living thing in front of you.
Long Aotian hurriedly shook his head and said, "I'm not, I don't, don't talk nonsense." ”
Ma Lusha continued, "Master has recently acquired two new cubs, so I can give you a ...... Well, it's all up to you. Halfway through speaking, looking at Long Aotian's squinting eyes, Ma Lusha had to expose the bottom line.
Long Aotian took a sip of the drink handed over by the beautiful woman next to him: "Senior sister, it is my duty to contribute to my uncle, it's just ...... This group of displaced people is coming, and I have spent a lot of money on them, and I must settle them properly. ”
Ma Lusha said directly: "The monopoly of sugar and wine in Rongcheng is the biggest concession within the authority of Master Xiangguo. "Ma Lusha didn't understand that Long Aotian wanted to earn back what he lost from Yeliangxiao from his own side, and he was the master who didn't suffer at all. After all, Sima Hui is the Xiangguo of Shudi, and he still has some authority, but it is impossible to have such a big head as salt and iron, and sugar and wine can be considered.
Just think about how to deal with the night night, he holds these monopoly rights in his hands, after all, it is still the Marquis of Shu who is in charge, for this reason, he has resisted Long Aotian many times, this time is good, Xiangguo Sima Hui abolished all his efforts in a word, and the privatization of the country's heavy weapons is not a good thing for the rulers of Shu, but do the people of Yushan care?
Long Aotian immediately said: "I also had the intention of meeting Senior Brother Wang of Butterfly Valley for a while, after all, there are only two of us left. "The first big disciples of the three sects call each other senior brothers and sisters, and Leng Yue Guwei, the eldest disciple of this generation of Elf Island, is no longer alive, so Wang Xiaoming and Long Aotian have become the most equal opponents.
"Then what are you waiting for, let's go back. ”
"What's the hurry, Senior Sister, Senior Brother Wang Xiaoming is not simple, I have to prepare a little, and it's getting late, it's not too late to go tomorrow, you can take a good look around my Xuncheng tonight." ”
The sky outside is really dark, there is a big battle today, Ma Lusha went to Rongcheng first, and then came to Xuncheng, and the time of the day was delayed like this, but I think that the Shu army on the front line is twice the army of the Demon Cloud Sea, it shouldn't be a big situation.
And the fact is that the imperial army attacked the Shu army camp in the night that night, Sima Hui hurriedly walked out of the camp tent, looked at the panicked Shu army and couldn't help but say: "Senior Brother Demon, there is really you." He immediately attracted blazing flames, how conspicuous the fireworks were all over his body, this time the night attack was led by the Demon Cloud Sea himself, he rode the mount and saw Sima Hui's location at a glance, and immediately stepped forward to entangle: "Sima Hui, come here and fight the winner!"
Mo Yunhai chose to go head-to-head because Sima Hui was the existence with the highest cultivation in the entire Shu army, and only he could check and balance the imperial army. At this moment, Wang Xiaoming was leading another team of men and horses to set fire everywhere, and most of the Shu army was scattered by a sudden attack, but some of them organized a counterattack, and Wang Xiaoming used a real killing move at the moment.
The Wang family's yin and yang purple pupils are specialized in ghosts and ghosts, but they can also be used to deal with living people and living creatures, at this moment Wang Xiaoming's purple pupils collect light and true qi flow, and the Shu army who came to stop felt that their hearts and heads seemed to be buzzed by a heavy hammer, Wang Xiaoming shook their souls, and there was no substantial harm to ordinary people, but they lost their minds for a while, but now this is a battlefield of life and death, and a loss of mind is enough to lose their lives.
At this moment, Gu Yueqing, the king of ice and fire, saw Wang Xiaoming, no matter how much he complained about himself, Wang Xiaoming was the enemy who killed his brother, and the enemy was very red when he saw him, but he also knew that he rushed forward, even if he was not bound by the yin and yang purple pupils, I am afraid that it would be difficult to escape the spirit rope, I saw him wave his hands, and the ice and fire dragon sword in his hand turned into two dragons of ice and fire and attacked and killed the army that attacked the imperial court.
