Volume 1 Lingdong Mountain Snow Chapter 194 Zhendong City
Faced with the confusion of the two, Tang Jin didn't sell it, sat up, twisted his neck and said, "It was my father who took over the Eastern Regions after the King of Zhendong. Although my father looks like a fool, if you look through the annals edited by the imperial court, you will find that my father was an out-and-out war maniac. Nearly 100 battles were fought, large and small, and the city was slaughtered, and there were bones everywhere they passed. ”
"Does that have anything to do with his lack of succession?" Xiao Dezi still didn't understand. Tang Jin glanced outside the carriage and asked, "Let me ask you, if you are a murderous madman, one day the thing you want most is taken away and relegated to a wild place, at this time you find that there is someone whose strength is not as good as you but is on an equal footing with you, what will happen to you?" ”
"Of course it's murder to vent anger!" Xiao Dezi said as a matter of course. After speaking, he suddenly showed a look of sudden realization. Thinking back then, Tang Duo lost the throne and was assigned to the most remote Eastern Regions of the Five Domains, with his character, he definitely held back a fire in his heart and had no place to vent, at this time, if the King of Guanshan County chose to inherit the name of King Zhendong, he would definitely hit Tang Duo's muzzle.
"I thought it was not easy to be an official, and it should always be easier for the royal family, but now it seems that ...... It's not inferior to officialdom. Xiao Dezi couldn't help but sigh.
"You're wrong, royal...... It's much more complicated than officialdom. Tang Jin shook his head and said: "The intrigue in the officialdom is nothing more than interests, and what is intended is only the power or interests in the hands of the other party, and it will not harm the other party's life, or the interests are not big enough to live and die for you." But the royal family is different, anything that involves the royal family, its interests are amazing, once you do it, it is endless, plus these interests are often extremely limited and will fade over time, everyone only has one chance, in this case, it is a person who will directly kill him. ”
"This ...... Quite right. Xiao Dezi thought for a while, and couldn't help but shudder, "Shizi...... Would you like to participate in the future? ”
"Born in the royal family, I can't help myself. And don't use it later, I've been in it since I was born. Tang Jin smiled bitterly, "However, it is not very difficult to deal with a group of fools whose civilization level is much lower than mine. ”
After saying that, Tang Jin laughed rampantly like a fool, both Xiao Dezi and Fang Jieqing were puzzled, obviously not understanding what the civilization level was.
"By the way, you haven't said why you went to Zhendong City." Xiao Dezi decisively diverted the topic.
"This is not simple, our trip is to find the king of Guanshan County and his son, not the king of Guanshan County. According to my father, the king of Guanshan County handed over the management of Zhendong City to his son, Tang Xu, the eldest son of the king, a long time ago. This guy has lived in the east of the town for a long time and does not go
Where to go in Zhendong City? Moreover, although the king of Guanshan County set up the palace in Lanshan City, Zhendong City is the painstaking effort of King Zhendong to manage his life, and the background of Guanshan County King is not in Lanshan City, but Zhendong City. Tang Jin explained.
"Then why don't you choose the management right of the last chamber of commerce of the Liu family in Zhendong City, but Lanshan City?" Fang Xie Qing then asked questions and answers.
"Because the king of Guanshan County is in Lanshan City, where is the center, Zhendong City is just his heritage. It's like when you buy something, do you go to the store or go to the owner's money bank? Besides, the place that King Zhendong has run all his life, how can I say that I will interfere? Tang Jin shrugged his shoulders and said.
Although Fang Jieqing and the others felt that Tang Jin's analogy was weird, their words were reasonable, so they had to nod in agreement.
"Shizi! It's a post station in front of you, it's getting dark, do you want to stop and rest for the night? After being quiet for a while, Feng Gu's voice suddenly came from outside the carriage, obviously they who were walking in front saw the post station one step ahead of Xiao Dezi.
"Of course." Tang Jin said without hesitation.
Then the group rested at the post station for a night, because there was no need to hide their identity, so the post directly arranged the best room for Tang Jin and a few people, and served them with good food and drink, and when he left, Tang Jin also rewarded him with ten taels of silver, although it was not much, but it was worth two months of the other party's money.
Next, the group rushed during the day, and rested at the post station when they could meet it at night, and rested directly on the side of the road if they couldn't. Because everyone is walking through the pipeline, and it is the official road between the former royal city and the current royal city, so the road is unusually peaceful, not to mention the bandits, even the thieves can't see one.
After half a month, the group finally arrived at the gate of Zhendong City. Looking at the slightly old Zhendongcheng in front of him, which was almost the same size as Shicha County, Tang Jin didn't feel so surprised.
As I said before, the Eastern Regions is the most remote region of the Five Regions, and it is also the poorest region except for the Northern Regions that have been war-torn for many years.
But before this, the Eastern Regions was poor, so it was reasonable that the scale of Zhendongcheng was not large. After all, Tang Duo didn't have the hobby of helping potential opponents repair their "ancestral homes".
In the middle of the city, the streets are sparsely populated, and there are fewer than two shops that open their doors. Of course, this doesn't mean that Zhendong City is really poor. In fact, people's positioning is not a trade city, but a resource city, and there are three iron mines, two silver mines, and a copper mine around the east of the town, and the economy of the whole city is completely supported by mining, which is a typical resource-based city, as for minerals
What to do after you run out...... Tang Jin said that it was my business.
"Shizi, it's not early, where are you resting tonight?" Xiao Dezi leaned in front of Tang Jin and said. Tang Jin glanced at the other party, then turned his head to look at Qin Hai, beckoned, and said, "You go to the people in the tooth shop to inquire where there is a house for sale, don't be small, the bigger the better." ”
It is not destined to be a simple matter to develop the eldest son of the king of Guanshan County into an ally, so it is natural to be prepared for a protracted war and buy a big house, on the one hand, to tell the other party that he is above board and fair, and there are no ulterior secrets, so as not to cause unnecessary misunderstandings, and at the same time, it is also a way to show his confidence and strength.
This kind of thing of forming an alliance must make the other party feel that you have the ability to talk to him on an equal footing, and blindly being low-key and polite will only make people think that you are weak and can be bullied, and then raise the mind of annexing you.
However, these elm heads that twist and turn around Qin Hai must be unexpected, in his opinion, buying a big mansion as Tang Jin...... Isn't it very reasonable? So sometimes, stupid people have stupid blessings, and it's really not just talking.
At the same time, in the former Zhendong Wangfu, now in the Yanei of Dongcheng County, a young man dressed in obscene clothes and with long hair was tinkering with the incense burner, while showing a wicked smile, "Tang Jin...... Sure enough, it still came. ”
If Tang Jin was here at this time, he would probably be surprised to find that this young man turned out to be Li Xu who complained with him in the glazed flower market that day, no, to be exact, Tang Xu.
"Childe! Son! Oh no! Oh no! ”
Tang Xu, who had just inserted the incense chopsticks into the incense burner, was startled by this sound, his hand shook, and a large piece of incense ash was directly sprinkled out. Suddenly, the gloomy face, which was already dark because of the darkness in the room, was aggravated a little.
"You'd better give me a good reason, otherwise you'll ......" Before he could finish speaking, the subordinate who had just rushed in directly interrupted him: "Childe, Miss, she climbed the rockery, and said that she wouldn't come down if you didn't agree to her conditions." ”
"What!" Tang Xu stood up suddenly, because the movement was too fast, he overturned the small table in front of him, and his beloved incense burner rolled to the ground, but he didn't care, "Sister! Don't be impulsive! Brother is here! ”
While shouting, he ran out like a fly, and he couldn't even wear his shoes.
At the same time, next to the garden rockery
"Miss! Slave beg, come down quickly! ”
"Miss! Come down! ”
A subordinate standing under the rockery with a basin or a broom with a broom looked at the girl on the rockery with a nervous face.
"Sister! Sister! Come down! Before the girl could speak, Tang Xu's chattering voice rang out.
