Seeing that the sun was setting in the west, Qin Jin urged the war horse, and he dared to enter Zhengping City before it was dark. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Lu Zhishan, who was just about to open his mouth, was thrown off the battle for Xu Yuan in an instant, but he persevered, and also followed the war horse under his crotch to gallop forward, and finally got closer to Qin Jin, slowing down the horse's speed at a position that was only half a horse's head behind Qin Jin.

"Make the king humble, humble, humble, and have important things to say......"

Qin Jin wanted to see what ivory Lu Zhishan could spit out of his mouth, so he turned his head and smiled:

"But that's it!"

"I humbly think that the bandits north of Fenshui should be mainly fu, supplemented by suppression. ”

"Oh, I want to hear about it!"

Seeing that Lu Zhishan was not out of words, Qin Jin became interested in his suggestion, for him, the bandits north of Fenshui were like psoriasis, although they were not fatal, but they were extremely itchy, and they could not be eliminated overnight. What's even more troubling is that it must not be ignored, otherwise the disease of scabies may also turn into a heart problem at any time.

If it is really possible to settle this matter without swords, or with less swords, why not?

Qin Jin felt that he should put away his prejudice against people like Lu Zhishan, maybe he could put forward feasible suggestions?

"As far as the humble knows, the Fenshui bandits stand side by side, as long as they subdue either of them, the other will be able to ...... in the near future."

"Which one should be subdued first, and where should I start?"

Qin Jin slowed down his horse speed and asked indifferently. Lu Zhishan also slowed down the horse's speed, kept a distance of half a horse's head from Qin Jin, smiled all over his face, and said quite proudly:

Taiping Zhang Jia was originally a local clan, because his brother of the same property took refuge in Li Linfu, and was implicated in the rebellion of Wang Jian, the brother of the then Jingzhao Yin Wang, and the clan was punished. In order to avoid trouble, Zhang Jia took his clansmen into the mountains to become thieves, and he made a name for himself in a few years. ”

"Zhang Jia?"

Qin Jin felt that this name was a little familiar, but he couldn't think of where he had heard it for a while, and then suddenly, isn't this Zhang Jia the leader of the giant bandits who once led troops to besiege Jishan County?

"You mean, Zhang Jia, who is besieging Jishan County, can start with this thief?"

Lu Zhishan nodded confidently.

"According to the humble knowledge, although Zhang Jia threw himself into the green forest, he still planned to see the light of day one day, and if he could be appeased and promised an official position, this person would definitely be able to be used by the envoy. ”

Qin Jin just wanted to say something that was easy to think about, but when the words came to his lips, he swallowed them back. He suddenly realized that people like Lu Zhishan often avoided trouble, and now they actually took the initiative to find trouble, and they still looked confident, they must have colluded with Zhang Jia, the leader of the bandits, long ago.

In fact, this is also normal, Lu Zhishan has been an official in Jiangzhou for nearly ten years, and Zhang Jia was a big clan north of Fenshui before he fell into the grass, and they have a great chance to collude together. And the reason why Zhang Jia was able to mix and flourish in just a few years is that there is no effect of collusion with the government.

Thinking of this, Qin Jin suddenly smiled.

"In that case, Qin will entrust you with the responsibility of this suppression, how about it?"

Unexpectedly, after Lu Zhishan heard this, he waved his hand again and again.

"Make you wrong love, wrong love. How many catties and catties are lowly, the lowly is very clear, and Zhang Jia is always ambitious, if there is no Shenwu army on his side, he is afraid of ......"

At the moment when Lu Zhishan stammered, Qin Jin looked at him suspiciously.

Facing the aggressive gaze, Lu Zhishan only felt like a thorn in his back, and finally confessed: "I can't hide it, Zhang Jia had a good personal relationship with the humble before he rebelled, and the humble ......"

Qin Jin was very satisfied with Lu Zhishan's confession, since this person did not play tricks on key issues, it proved that he did have the sincerity to speak and act, and the method of soothing and suppressing could at least be used for a try.

"The elite of the Shenwu Army led by Lu Qi will cross the Fenshui in three days, and then it will depend on the ability of Lu County's order!"

Lu Qi promised loudly, and then he was extremely interested and retreated contentedly.

At this time, there was only Du Qianyun who was parallel to Qin Jin.

"What is left of the merchants' profits?"

Qin Jin suddenly asked. Du Qianyun was stunned for a moment, he had never asked about the profitability of the caravans sent to various places, and when he asked today, he must have some plan.

"Back to the envoy, there are still more than a million caravans in profits!"

"Millions?"

Even Qin Jin came out silently, the Tang Dynasty's annual income was only 350 million guan at most, and the small caravan could actually make a profit of more than 1 million guan in nearly a year, which was far beyond his expectations.

"Now that there are many wars, and Tongguan is in a blockade, where can I make so much money?"

Faced with Qin Jin's question, Du Qianyun's expression showed a little smugness, Qin Jin has always shown omniscience, and it turns out that he also has some shortcomings in the matter of businessmen.

"So that you don't know, most of the caravan profits are in the west, not in the east!"

"Why?"

"The rich land of the Tang Dynasty is indeed in the east, but the caravan goes east, and there are local tax cards every hundred miles. But after passing through Hexi, the road to the Western Regions is very different, not only are there few passes along the way to set up tax cards, but they will be very popular along the way, often for more than half a year, and the profits will be more than 100 times greater!"

In the past, Qin Jin had only heard about the benefits of trade in the Western Regions on paper, and it was only now that he was amazed at the huge wealth exchange involved.

"No wonder, in the battle of Shangyang Pass, I don't see you in a hurry. ”

Qin Jin only realized at this time that the vast area east of Tongguan was not in Du Qianyun's eyes.

"So that's exactly what you know. If it weren't for the Shenwu Army's need for eyeliner and intelligence, and giving up the entire east of Tongguan, the profits would have doubled!"

At this point, Qin Jin knew that Du Qianyun had been using the money and profits obtained from trade in the Western Regions to make up for the losses in the East, but the fruits of these losses were also worth it.

"Is that a lot of money?"

The capital used by Du Qianyun to operate the caravan was the public property of the Shenwu Army, and these public properties were completely openly used in the operation after Yang Guozhong instigated the political affairs hall and the Son of Heaven to allow Qin Jin to raise and support himself in Feng Yi. Today, the doubling of this public property has far exceeded Qin Jin's expectations.

"Zheng Baiqu has been dredged, and Wei Ji has no point in staying in Jing Zhaoyin's position, so he will be transferred to an idle position at any cost. ”

Speaking of this, Qin Jin's face was already covered with a faint frost, and he wanted Wei Ji to know that since he had the ability to push him to Jing Zhaoyin's position, he also had the ability to pull him down.

"Make the king decided!"

Du Qianyun looked like he was afraid that the world would not be chaotic, his eyes were jumping with excitement, Wei Ji had been a little fluttering since he jumped into the eyes of the Son of Heaven with the skill of dredging Zheng Baiqu, he had long wished that Qin Jin could teach this person a lesson. However, Qin Jin was able to make a decision in an instant, which really surprised him. He only vaguely felt that Qin Jin must have another channel to get the news, and he had already thought about teaching Wei Ji a lesson.

Wei Ji is now favored by the Son of Heaven, and he also holds the important position of Jing Zhaoyin, and his wings are gradually plump, if he deals with this kind of person instead, he is not just rich.

……

After several turmoil in Chang'an City, it is not as prosperous as the fourteenth year of Kaiyuan, and the trend of the Tang Dynasty is obvious day by day, and the most intuitive feeling is Jing Zhaoyin, who is in charge of Jingzhao Mansion.

On the case in front of Wei Ji were stacked with official documents of small mountains, from theft and murder to gathering people to rebel, all kinds of unbelievable cases abounded.

For example, after a lieutenant of the old Longwu Army was idle at home, he gathered seventy clansmen and fifty horses, and dared to openly rebel.

In Wei Ji's opinion, then the captain is either crazy or incorrigibly stupid. He didn't even notify the Shence army guarding the Jingshi, and directly took the official mission of Jingzhao Mansion to nip this ridiculous rebellion in the bud.

Although this kind of case is ridiculous, in Wei Ji's eyes, it is all capital to accumulate credit. If the whole day is peaceful, how can you show your edge?

The merits of dredging Zheng Baiqu have made him the judge of the Son of Heaven's ability to govern the government, but these are not enough, if you want to be in the political hall, you must have an extraordinary reputation. And that's exactly what he's lacking now.

A few days ago, Du Qianyun had asked Wei Ji to participate in the establishment of a wartime affairs body, and he even Qin Jin would never be untargeted every time he thought about something, and if he rashly participated in it, he might be suspicious of the Son of Heaven, and then everything would backfire. Therefore, he did not hesitate to refuse, and even refused to see Du Qianyun for various reasons thereafter.

Sure enough, the Son of Heaven quickly issued an edict to set up a wartime line. However, to Wei Ji's surprise, the official who made this happen was actually Wei Fangjin, a subordinate servant. At the same time, he was also gloating in secret, don't look at Wei Fangjin's joy now, once the Son of Heaven suddenly realized, this person would not even have a chance to cry.

Now that we have accumulated enough political capital, it is natural to keep a sufficient distance from those ambitious officials in the DPRK and China. Because, only the Son of Heaven can decide the fate of all officials. After being favored by the Son of Heaven, Wei Ji thought to himself that as long as he could keep up with the pace of the Son of Heaven at all times, it might not be difficult to go further.

"Da Yin, Da Yin, the messenger of the Son of Heaven is here......"

Suddenly, an assistant official rushed in with a roar, and before entering the door, he had already told the news of the arrival of the messenger of the Son of Heaven.

Wei Ji was also stunned, he didn't have any merits to show now, could it be that the Son of Heaven would reward him for nothing? But other than that, Wei Ji really couldn't think of the reason why the Son of Heaven issued an edict at this time.

Under the urging of the officials, Wei Jicai cleaned up the crown and belt, and walked out of the main hall of Jingzhao Mansion to greet the messenger of the Son of Heaven who conveyed the edict.

The envoy of the Son of Heaven was a relatively well-rounded eunuch, and he was polite when he saw Wei Ji, and after all the rituals that should be done were done, he handed over the edict he was holding in both hands to Wei Ji.

"Congratulations to Dayin, congratulations to Dayin......"
