"Can you take a look at the tax booklet of the Household Department?" Su Lan nodded, her face unchanged, still with that nonchalant look. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Zhongzhou is poorer than Gaozhou. Xuanxi said slowly.

"The Northwest General's Mansion, although it is in Gaozhou, actually governs the entire Northwest. Su Lan took out the same jade cup from the Duobaoge shelf on one side, and poured wine for Xuanxi as she spoke, "The northwest is vast, but there are only two states, Zhongzhou and Gaozhou. Gaozhou has jurisdiction over four prefectures, three passes and twelve cities, except for the two cities of Gaoling and Gaochang within 100 miles of the government, the rest of the places are stationed in large armies, and the military expenses of these armies are supplied by the cities forty percent, and the remaining sixty percent are uniformly supplemented by the Gaozhou state capital. And in these sixty percent, sixty percent of the imperial court's military expenses are supplied, and the remaining four achievements have to be achieved by Gaozhou himself. ”

"Up and down the Northern Army, more than 300,000 mouths, Shao Hui's previous assassination history, none of them can stop stretching out their hands after taking the silver of the imperial court. Su Lan continued, "Shao Hui ruled Gaozhou, and finally stopped reaching out to ask for money, but it can only be like this, as for the tribute paid to the imperial court, it is mostly a tax levied on merchants. ”

"The Northwest General's Mansion, naturally, can't ask Gaozhou for money. Su Lan smiled, "So, Liu Xi, the assassin of Zhongzhou, is the master of you and me." ”

"What about Shao Hui's previous stabbing history?"

"Naturally, it is to take Zhongzhou's money and grain. Su Lan took off the hosta hairpin, and the long hair slanted down, at that moment she looked very demon-like, even Xuanxi was in a trance, and then came back to her senses, she had dredged her long hair, and tied it firmly on the top of her head with the hosta, "Why do you think Jiang Yuan fell so easily? When he was most arrogant, Zhongzhou had just harvested grain in the autumn, and his army immediately arrived, and after the four warehouses in Zhongzhou were loaded, all the remaining surplus grain was brought back to the Northern Army garrison, raising the Northwest General's Mansion and Gaozhou General's Mansion. ”

"Zhongzhou is a treasure land, with jurisdiction over three prefectures and fourteen states, and the land is vast and rich. However, the location of Zhongzhou is not suitable for the development of commerce, so agriculture and grain are the only things that can be praised in Zhongzhou. Seeing that Xuanxi was stunned for a moment, Su Lan smiled slightly and continued, "However, the Gaozhou garrison has 300,000 mouths, and when the border meets Zaluhe during the autumn harvest, there are no grains. Zhongzhou is equivalent to being the grain depot of Gaozhou. ”

"It seems that the history of Zhongzhou in the past few generations has been really good, and in the past thirty or forty years, there have been no natural disasters in order to pass the term smoothly. Xuanxi came back to his senses and said slowly, "It's just that this is not a good performance." ”

Therefore, Liu Xi's previous three-person assassination history and dealing with Jiang Yuan were all miserable. Su Lan smiled, "This is actually no wonder Jiang Yuan." There is no way for him to do it. It's just that it is okay to force Zhongzhou to assassinate history, but he chose the stupidest one. ”

"I see that you also have some affection for Jiang Yuan. Xuanxi raised his eyebrows, as if he was smiling, "Wanhu Hou changed the Jiangyuan death penalty to exile to Bozhou, and you are also very willing." ”

Su Lan shook the wine glass in his hand and said, "It's just a marquis of ten thousand households, how can you not be reluctant?" If it is undecided today, the generals will naturally have to fight, and when will they not get the title. ”

"Jiang originated from me, and I have the friendship of teachers and commanders. Su Lan picked up his wine jug, poured a glass of wine for Xuanxi, and replaced the empty wine jug in his hand, "I have no apologies for getting him down, it's just that he is also a hero, and he has been in the north for twenty years, so the end is a bit bleak." ”

"So, I want to keep him alive. Su Lan sighed and stood in front of the window, "However, he is not necessarily better alive than dead." The South China Sea and the Northwest have always looked at each other unpleasantly, and he fell into Bozhou, but I can't get into it. ”

"Genro. Su Lan's tone was gentle, "I have two words for you, first, the wind in the northwest has always been the coldest. ”

"The second sentence is, I have 200,000 taels of silver a year, but I don't throw it down and listen to it. ”

"I'm used to drinking pear blossom white, and now I want to taste the taste of drunken and mung bean roast. Xuanxi slowly turned the jade cup in his hand, but he didn't look at Su Lan, "The golden wine tastes good." It can be used as a strong liquor in the throat, and it also has its taste. ”

"Then I wish Xuanlang all the best. Su Lan raised her wine glass with a smile and touched him in the air, "After all, Xuanlang and I are now advancing and retreating together." ”

"I'm going to thank you first. ”

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

Shao Hui originally came back with the army, but when the army was stationed in Zhongzhou, he did not stop, and went straight back to Gaozhou, and when Su Lan sent a message, when he was stationed in Gaoling tomorrow, Shao Hui had already returned to Gaozhou Mansion.

Shao Hui returned to the city, and the remaining county officials from Shuofang surrounded him, but he only left one sentence: "Everyone who has to deal with it will arrive tomorrow, and I am useless if you die or die thanks to Su Hou." After that, he didn't look at the looks of these people, so he hurriedly went to Taicang, Gaozhou, to pack up.

In the Shaohui Mansion at night, the people were dispersed, and the motion of the field had been settled, and the repair of Baicheng naturally had to be put on the agenda. It was agreed that the military attache here had come to the official office again, and the military and government in Gaozhou had always been separated. I just took a sip of water, and then I came out to meet them.

When he saw this group of military attachés, he found that there was one person missing, so he asked, "Where is General Wang?"

"The general took his brothers to Shuofang five days ago, but except for the news that day, there was no news at all. A burly man sighed.

"What does Vice General Liu mean that you don't know the situation in Shuofang now?" Shao Hui also figured out their intentions at this time, and couldn't help but rub his eyes, and couldn't help but say stupid in his heart, "Did General Wang say anything when he left?"

"The general only told me to wait for everything to go as usual, and wait for General Su to come. The deputy general who called Liu Fang was sincere, which made Shao Hui cry and laugh, so he had to sigh.

"Then what are you looking for me? Tomorrow Master Su will come back, you can just say it yourself. ”

"If the villain dares to return to General Su like this, he will not come to find Lord Assassin. Liu Fang's face was entangled, and his already dark face looked even darker.

"You didn't send scouts to deliver the news along the way? Shuofang went to Gaozhou, and the news will arrive in three days. Shao Hui sighed and continued to ask.

"It's strange that this is exactly this, the scouts sent three times, but there was no reply. ”

Shao Hui chuckled in his heart, but his face was still very calm: "This is strange, in this way, you will send a group of scouts in an hour, and I will send a letter to Master Su first to explain this matter, do you think it's okay?"

"Then thank you, Lord Thorn. ”

"Out of the way. Shao Hui stood up and sent this military attache out, but on the way back to the inner courtyard of the official office, he couldn't stop sighing

"Li Zhao. As soon as he finished speaking, a man in black flashed behind him, "It's okay for me to make a decision for your master in advance, right?"

"The dark line in the house has already begun to move. Li Zhao replied expressionlessly, "I'll know tomorrow." ”

Shao Hui sighed again and said, "Since you have already done it yourself." So, why did your master put you by my side?"

"The master said that Lord Shao Hui was powerless, and he was afraid that he would be disturbed by thieves, so he simply asked you to protect it for a few days. Li Zhao was still expressionless, "So, my duty is to protect you." ”

"Your guards are all like you, character, chic?" Shao Hui looked at him helplessly, giving up the idea of discussing the matter with him.

"What the ancestors taught, the Li, only the words of the son followed. Li Zhao shook his head, "In the past ten years, I am the only one who remembers the words of Xianjun. ”

"I don't need you here, you can go and take care of your son-in-law's mansion tomorrow. ”

"It's okay, since someone replaces all the things that Situ Yan used before, I will protect you. ”

Shao Hui looked up at the moon, only to feel that he was really tired from this day.
