Chapter 0867 Preparation
Zhuge Qiao is not familiar with Hua Qi, but he has dealt with him a few times.
After all, no matter how fair and strict the prime minister of the Han Dynasty is, the imprint of the prime minister's son on Zhuge Qiao cannot be erased.
So when Zhuge Qiao was arranged by the prime minister to Nanzhong, although he was not given much authority, he still had some face.
Hua Niangzi no one dares to deliberately embarrass her in Nanzhong, she is naturally right, but there is also a prerequisite, that is, she also does not dare to take the initiative to make trouble.
Because what the court needs is a barbarian girl who is knowledgeable and knowledgeable, and understands etiquette, not a barbarian girl who does not know how to advance or retreat.
Hua Fei is a barbarian girl, and she is not a fool, she naturally knows the sensitivity of her identity.
Zhuge Qiao knew that Hua Niangzi had a connection with the Feng family, and heard that she was built under Feng Yong's personal care in the horse farm in Yueshan.
Wei County is now the seat of the Governor's Mansion, and if the horse-like team wants to go south, it must pass through Wei County.
Therefore, because of Brother Feng's relationship, Zhuge Qiao used his own face, and he also took care of the horse team on weekdays.
Hua Fei knew that Zhuge Qiao had a connection with Feng Ghost King, and heard that Feng Ghost King also called him brother.
So it is natural that the two have dealt with each other a few times.
"Where does the flower lady want to go?"
Seeing that after the flower mane saluted, he wanted to go out again, Zhuge Qiao was afraid that he would surprise this woman, so he didn't dare to stop him, so he had to ask loudly behind him.
"I'm going to find out what to do with that horse." Hua Fei snorted, "I have to find someone to talk about the loss of my horse team." ”
"Ahem, Hua Niang, this matter is not urgent, I sent someone to invite you over, I really have something to tell you."
When Hua Hu heard this, he had to reluctantly retreat back: "I don't know what happened to Zhuge Langjun?" ”
"It's not me, it's Mingwen who is looking for you."
Zhuge Qiao said as he reached into his arms again.
It may be that there are too many letters hidden in his arms, so this time he touched it for a long time, and it took a while to find the fourth piece of paper:
"Flower lady, this is a letter to you in plain text."
After Hua Fu subconsciously took it, he was stunned for a moment, and asked in disbelief:
"This ...... Feng Gui ...... Did the prince really write to me? ”
"This is natural, is it possible that who would dare to write to you in plain text?"
I'd like to hope it's someone impersonating......
The face of the flower who received the letter changed slightly in an instant.
The name of Feng Ghost King, in the area of Nanzhong, has a great deterrent power.
After calming down, Hua Fu couldn't help muttering secretly in her heart:
Then how can Feng Ghost King say that he is also a rich and rival character, I just sent two less dividends to Jincheng Fengzhuang, he shouldn't be here to ask me for this, right?
You can't blame me for this, there is chaos in Yunnan, and there is no way to get through business, he should know about it.
Hey? If that Ma Tan refuses to compensate me for my losses, I can take this opportunity to say something to that Feng Ghost King......
Where did Zhuge Qiao think that his words would make Hua Wei turn so many thoughts at once?
After thinking about it for a long time, Hua Fei still didn't figure out why Feng Ghost King wrote a letter to himself.
She was not embarrassed to open it on the spot, so she carefully hid the letter.
Over the years, the more things Hua Hu has experienced, the more she understands the power of Xinghan in Nanzhong.
Not to mention that Feng Yong's prestige has grown over the years.
At this time, the flower lady is no longer an innocent young man who dares to "puff" the other party without scruples in front of Feng Junhou when she is in Yueshan.
Feng Ghost King's letter must be much more important than Ma Yan's.
After all, Ma Jian can only let himself lose most of his income for half a year at most, but Feng Ghost King can let himself lose his income for a lifetime.
Hua Niangzi had to press the meaning of going out to find Ma Tan to settle the account, and planned to take the letter back and think about it to see why Feng Ghost King was looking for herself.
After waiting for the flower to leave for a long time, Ma Tan sneaked his head into the yard.
Seeing that Zhuge Qiao was the only one in the courtyard, he breathed a sigh of relief, coughed, habitually straightened his clothes, and walked into the courtyard door.
The maid of Yiren, who didn't know where to hide before, also came out with tacit understanding and brought tea to the two.
"Youchang, it's not a way for you to do this, this Nanzhong, no matter how you say it, is also the territory of the flower lady. If you can hide from today, can you still hide from tomorrow and the day after tomorrow? ”
Zhuge Qiao was worried about Ma Yan.
When he mentioned this, Ma Jian showed a bitter face: "Do you think I want to do this?" Isn't this waiting for Feng Junhou to send a letter to the flower lady? ”
According to what he had learned, Hua Yan and Feng Mingwen were inextricably linked.
Therefore, pit the flowery horse team and lead to all the ill-intentioned people in Yunnan County, in Ma Yan's view, it is actually not a big deal.
The big husband does things, why is it informal?
As long as Yunnan County settles down, the income from opening a tea plantation on the side of Yuze alone is enough to be worth an unknown number of horse teams.
Besides, even if the tea garden will not have income until three years later, this labor is not right in front of you!
Ma Shusheng believed that with his gentlemanly friendship with Feng Ghost King, Feng Ghost King would not blame him.
To be a man, we must take a long-term view.
This time, it was Zhuge Qiao's turn to be surprised: "How did you know that Mingwen would send a letter to the flower lady?" ”
When Ma Tan heard this, he immediately remembered Zhuge Qiao's previous words:
"Bo Song called that flower lady over, could it be something to find her?"
"Mingwen asked me to turn the flower lady into a letter." Zhuge Qiao's eyes flashed with admiration, "I didn't expect that you could even expect this." ”
When Ma Tan heard this, he said "ha", and his face showed a relaxed look.
Then he subconsciously shook his hand, found that it was empty, turned his eyes to the corner of the wall, and then got up and went over, picked up the broken fan, shook it again, and said proudly:
"I could even guess what the letter said."
"Oh?" Zhuge Qiao's eyes lit up, and he subconsciously wanted to ask, but he was a righteous gentleman after all, and finally held back.
Ma Jian saw Zhuge Qiao's appearance like this and knew his intentions, so he took the initiative to speak:
"In my expectation, Feng Junhou sent a letter, nine times out of ten, it will be related to the affairs of Yunnan, and the flower lady Chen said the benefits, and I will no longer be embarrassed."
Is that so?
Zhuge Qiao looked at Ma Jian who was very sure with some suspicion, and he didn't know whether to believe it or not.
However, when he saw Ma Jian shaking the broken fan in his hand, with that confident look, he couldn't help but be a little shaken in his heart:
Don't you become a clear text and have early ventilation with children? Otherwise, how could he be so confident?
It's just that this kind of thing, he can't go to the flower lady to ask about it, so he didn't continue to go deeper into this topic.
Instead, he asked about something more important:
"Youchang, the Han regained Liangzhou, and issued a new order to recruit talents, Youchang is already free at this time, why not go to Liangzhou to give it a try?"
The pu fan in his hand paused slightly, and after a long while, Ma Jian said slowly:
"The stakes are high, let me take a look."
In the battle of Jieting, Feng Yong fought violently, and the following Jiao Qianyan was deep, and finally he was nested in the southwest border for three years.
The conceit of Ma Yan's early years has long been worn away.
Even his temperament has changed a lot, and many things have been seen.
"It's best for you to make a decision as soon as possible, I heard that if you want to pass the Liangzhou exam, you must first understand the governance strategy of the Liangzhou Thorn History Mansion."
"And under Feng Mingwen's rule, officials mostly use the method of co-ordination, and they don't know the art of arithmetic, so it will definitely not work."
Nanxiang arithmetic is the best in the world.
All the standards of the industries under the name of the Xinghan Association come from Nanxiang, and as long as the people who are related to the Xinghan Association industry, they must implement this standard.
The so-called method of overall planning is actually to use the method of arithmetic to count the people's livelihood under governance, and then implement targeted governance.
And all of this is based on Nanxiang arithmetic.
Therefore, if you want to pass the exam, you must pass Nanxiang Arithmetic.
And if you want to understand the governance strategy of the Liangzhou Thorn History Mansion, it is best to go to Liangzhou first to find a way, first become a staff member and so on, and familiarize yourself with it.
It is true that the main local officials of the Han Dynasty were appointed by the imperial court, but most of the staff around them were recruited by the chief officials themselves.
For example, Taishou can appoint and dismiss some subordinate officials on their own.
This rule just provides convenience for the Liangzhou examination.
To put it bluntly, if you really want to pass the exam, you must at least go to work in the government offices at all levels in Liangzhou, which is inevitable.
While working part-time, you also have to think about learning arithmetic.
This kind of thing should be done sooner rather than later, and if you arrive one step earlier, you can learn one day earlier.
So Zhuge Qiao persuaded Ma Jian to make a decision early.
Hearing this, Ma Yan nodded: "Thank you Bosong for your concern, I have my own plans." ”
Seeing this, Zhuge Qiao was not easy to force.
He didn't stay long in the alley, and on the second day, he went to find Ma Tan again, wanting to say goodbye to Huiwei County.
Unexpectedly, I found two or three Dian horses parked in Ma Tan's small courtyard from a distance.
When I got closer, I already had two or three packages on my horse's back, and it looked like I was going to go far away?
In this area of Nanzhong, rich families go far away, relying on Yunnan horses; People who don't have money go far away, relying on cars.
This car is a wheelbarrow from Nanxiang.
Because it looks a bit like a chicken, and at the same time makes a rattling sound, so some people call it a chicken bus.
Zhuge Qiao walked into the small courtyard and saw that someone was helping to move things, and he affirmed his thoughts in his heart.
"What's going on?"
Finding Ma Jian who was shaking the broken fan, Zhuge Qiao couldn't help but ask suspiciously.
Ma Dazui's face did not change: "Oh, I heard that Feng Junhou will go to Liangzhou to take up a post, and I also had a friendship with Junhou back then, anyway, there is nothing to do recently, so I want to go to congratulate him." ”
The corners of the righteous gentleman Zhuge Qiao's mouth twitched, and he said earnestly:
"Young Chang, I remember that you didn't say yesterday that you wanted to see it?"
Ma Tan glanced at Zhuge Qiao strangely:
"yes, haven't I been watching it all night?"
Righteous gentleman Zhuge Qiao: ......
Zhuge Qiao, who was holding his breath in his chest and almost didn't suffocate, came back to his senses for a long time, and took a deep breath at the moment:
"Young, where did you come from?"
Don't look at the horse teams composed of Dian horses on the official road, but most of them belong to the Xinghan Society, and a small number belong to those families who entered the plantation in Nanzhong in the early years.
In the early days, people who did not invest in Yueshan Horse Farm now want to get a large number of Dian horses, that is, they are thinking about fart eating.
Not to mention a large number of horses, even if ordinary people want to find a few, it is not a small difficulty, let alone temporarily find them overnight.
However, this matter was not a difficult thing for Ma Yan, and he replied calmly:
"It's to take the relationship between Lu Taishou and borrow some time."
Lu Kai has a good relationship with Ma Tan, and Ma Tan has made meritorious contributions in planning to quell the chaos, not to mention borrowing, even sending a few Yunnan horses, which is also a natural thing.
When Zhuge Qiao heard this, he sighed: It turns out that there has been a plan for a long time.
At the same time, my heart is a little desolate: our brotherhood is really shallow as paper......
Although Ma Tan was exiled here, he carried the letter of King Feng Ghost in his arms, and even if he came empty-handed, he didn't have to worry about starving to death.
So in the small courtyard, there is not much to do.
The porter was busy for a while, and the maid was ready, and the things were quickly packed.
Ma Tan was in a hurry, and although Lu Kai, the Taishou of Yunnan County, was reluctant, he also knew that this was a matter of future.
Exiled for three years, and now once pardoned, I am afraid that my heart has already flown to Liangzhou.
After all, Ma Tan is not young, and in the past three years, he naturally wants to show his ambition in his chest.
Lu Kai set up a banquet and gave him food with Zhuge Qiao.
Zhuge Qiao even returned to Wei County with Ma Jian before parting.
At the end of the parting, Ma Jian finally said to Zhuge Qiao:
"Bo Song, Yunnan Liu Zhou is in turmoil, although some people have bad intentions, but Zhang Dudu's excessive law enforcement is also one of the reasons." "Although Liu Guan's chaos will not succeed this time, the imperial court will definitely reconsider the governance of Nanzhong, and those who govern the people will be lenient and strict."
"According to my expectations, Governor Zhang can be the governor for another year at most, and then the imperial court is very likely to send someone else to replace him."
"Now that the Han Dynasty has obtained Liangzhou, there will be no worries, and within a few years, there will be a battle in Guanzhong."
When Ma Tan said this, he aggravated his tone: "At that time, the Great Han will definitely be a crack soldier and will fight a decisive battle with the Wei thief in Guanzhong." ”
"In these few years, Nanzhong must have been stabilized, and Nanzhong will be the governor of the capital, and then I am afraid that I will also lead the army to the north." "Bosong is not good at leading the army, but over the years, he has been managing the logistics of the army, if he can prepare early and let the army in front have enough food and clothing, it may not be a way out."
When Zhuge Qiao heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up.
He knows that his talent is not outstanding, and he has been diligent and diligent all these years, only seeking no fault, not merit.
The official position is not big, and the promotion is slow, which is also normal.
Now Dema Tan suggests, how can you not be happy?
"It's just that in a place like Nanzhong, how can you give the army enough food and clothing?"
Zhuge Qiao looked at Ma Jian and asked with some distress.
Ma Jian sighed: "In the world, Feng Mingwen can call out his brother, but now there is only Bo Song, and Bo Song doesn't know it yet?" ”
Zhuge Qiao was not a fool, and immediately understood: "Xinghan Society? ”
"If you want to govern Nanzhong, no matter who is the governor of the capital, you must borrow the power of the Xinghan Society......"
Ma Tan said meaningfully.
"I see."
Zhuge Qiao nodded again and again, sighing that the friendship between Youchang and himself was really as deep as the sea.
Then he reached into his arms and pulled out a book:
"This is a long way to Liangzhou, if you are bored, you can read this book, it is very beneficial to pass the Liangzhou exam."
Ma Tan took it and looked at it suspiciously, only to see that the cover read: "Dahan Liangzhou Thorn History Department Examination Mock Test Questions".
After a long time, Ma Jian raised his head and said slowly: "Why did Bo Song come to this book?" ”
"I sent it with the letter in plain text."
"Why did you give it to me today?"
"Actually, I wanted to give it to you at the time, but didn't you say it, do you want to see it? So I forgot about it for a while. ”
Zhuge Qiao, a righteous gentleman, said sincerely, "You Chang can be carefully kept, this book is expensive, there is no price in Liangzhou, I don't know how many people buy it at a high price but can't get it." ”
Ma Tan suddenly discovered that Zhuge Qiao was actually not such a righteous gentleman.
Just as Ma Tan was heading north, Hua Wei was preparing to reorganize the horse team and head south.
More than once she took the letter out of her bosom and looked at it again:
"Seeds? Do you want the southern nations to plant the seeds of their crops? The big man has everything, why those barbarian seeds? ”
The countries in the south are all small countries, and compared with the big Han, they are simply very different.
A piece of silk can be exchanged for a large number of jade, and if you are willing to spend the money, you may be able to exchange it for the kind of transparent water jade that Feng Guiwang has been looking for all along.
As long as you exchange it for transparent water jade, it will be a big profit.
The Xinghan Club has been buying high-quality transparent water jade at a high price, and I heard that this is the request of Feng Ghost King.
Feng Ghost King is ruthless, but he is also very generous, very generous.
After the flower lady finished earning the southern countries, she turned around and took the transparent water jade to earn the money of Feng Ghost King, and she felt very cool to eat two fish.
It's just that Feng Ghost King makes her cool, and when Feng Ghost King occasionally wants to be cool, Hua Wei has to try his best to satisfy others.
At this time, the organization of the horse team to go south, the date is already a little late.
However, this time, Hua Wei didn't want to make money, but sent someone to investigate first and make some preparations.
For the horse team had never paid attention to the cultivation of the small countries in the south before.
After all, many tribes in Nanzhong didn't even know what was going on with farming a few years ago.
