Chapter 542: Ambition is supported by strength
Yao Xueying's rumors in Xiushan County inevitably reached Yu Jing's ears, this kind of bloody method is rejected by orthodox literati like him from the heart, so it is inevitable that he will find Lu Zifei to theorize.
"I think it's right to use extraordinary means in extraordinary times, the Northwest Army can be said to have committed no crimes in Dali, which makes them really think that we are easy to talk to, and a few royal remnants plus a few monks want to wrestle with me, is it too much to think."
Yu Jing didn't expect that after Lu Zifei heard this, not only did he not get angry, but also had the intention of helping his disciple, his brows furrowed even tighter, and he whispered to himself, not knowing whether to talk to himself or to Lu Zifei.
"You will still meet the court in the future, killing too many people is not good for your reputation, you have said that it is a few remnants, just arrest it, and send it back to the capital As for what the emperor does, it is his business, why do you have to take everything on yourself?"
In fact, Lu Zifei was also surprised when he got the news, how could he not see that his disciples had such a penchant for killing before, but the people who reported Yao Xue that they should kill were all people who committed the most heinous crimes, and there was not much worry in his heart.
"If there is a problem, Lord Ren will definitely object, now Xiushan County is under his rule, since he did not object, it proves that he agrees with Xue Ying to do this, Lord Yu, you have also experienced the place, why did you soften your heart today."
Yu Jing sighed: "There is no accident that this will be the territory of the Great Song Dynasty in the future, there are too many people killed in Xiushan County, how many people you have to kill when you get to the capital Dali, if the people of Dali have no sense of belonging, even if they are defeated, they may not be convinced from the bottom of their hearts." ”
Lu Zifei said with a smile: "This Lord Yu, your worries are superfluous, Xiushan County is close to Temo Dao and Luo Xianbu, Xue should do this as a last resort, you see Shicheng County does not!" ”
"You are the chief, you have the final say, I just hope you don't make trouble to the point where you can't clean it up, a good credit makes you a sin, I am in the good house, don't interfere, I can handle it."
Lu Zifei said: "Don't be too tolerant of those monks, you still have to kill those who should be killed, don't forget what we are doing in Jiaozhi, monks are not necessarily all good people, there are also people with good faces and evil hearts." ”
Yu Jing didn't look back and said, "I only have measure"
It didn't take long for Yu Jia to come over, and seeing his sad appearance, Lu Zifei asked, "That Lord Yu just left, and you, Lord Yu, arrived, did you come to persuade me again." ”
Yu Jia said: "Lord Lu refers to the affairs of Xiushan County, if I go, I may be more ruthless than your little disciple, it's not that I said you Lord Lu, you look ruthless, but in fact the soft-hearted person is not suitable for mixing officialdom." ”
Lu Zifei said: "Eh, Lord Yu, you are wrong, am I ruthless?" ”
"You've seen that ruthless person say that he is ruthless, I came to you today to discuss a big matter with you." After a short contact, he found that Lu Zifei was actually still a teenager, smart is smart, to put it bluntly, he was still a child in his eyes, and he was too idealistic in doing things.
Lu Zifei said: "What's wrong? If someone doesn't listen to your orders, you don't have to report to me in the future, just deal with it yourself. ”
Yu Jing glanced at him in surprise and said: "You think of it, it has nothing to do with it, I want to ask you, can the property captured by the Northwest Army be used to restore the local people's livelihood." ”
This problem is big, because the consumption of more than 100,000 people is not a small amount, and a large part of this money is for the Northwest Army, because in Xiushan County, Shanyan Mansion, and Shicheng County, the Northwest Army does not have much food.
"How much are you going to use? Can we achieve self-sufficiency in the Northwest Army after the summer grain harvest this year? Lu Zifei still chose to support Yu Jia's work, because the war is only temporary, and long-term peace and stability is what they need.
Yu Jia thought for a moment and said, "Are you talking about grain?" I can guarantee that there is no problem with just food, after all, there is no problem with supporting 100,000 people in the land of Sanzhou, and if there are other aspects, I can't guarantee it. ”
Seeing that Lu Zifei still didn't speak, Yu Jia said again: "Actually, Dali has one of the best businesses to do, as long as you do a good job, let alone 100,000 people, it is more than enough to add 100,000." ”
Lu Zifei started as a businessman, he really didn't find any big business to do here, because of the geographical conditions of Dali, there is no coast, and there are more mountains and mountains here, grain planting is not so good, fruit production is really good, but transportation is a big trouble.
"Then I really didn't find out, Lord Yu, you give me a good talk."
Yu Jia said with a smile: "Adults may not have time to understand this, but Xiaguan has been asking others in the past few months, first of all, Dali's jade, this is one, you also know that literati love to play with jade, and then horses, you must not think of this!" ”
Lu Zifei was dumbfounded and said: "Lord Yu, don't joke with me, Dali produces horses, why don't I know, if you want to say that it is Tubo, I really believe it, even if there are horses in a place like Dali, can it produce good horses?" ”
"Look! Don't you believe it, but the fact is that Dali also produces good horses, but Da Song feels too far away, and Dali is not very willing to sell it to us, so the world doesn't know, and the adults don't know because you didn't ask the officials who served in Dali at that time. ”
Lu Zifei said: "Then if I want to think about it, I will go to the two places of Begging Blue Department and Tengchong Mansion, and I really can't think of the rest." Thinking of the Tengchong jade trading market in later generations, Lu Zifei thought that if these two were in the same place, it would really be worth a try.
However, it backfired, Yu Jia said: "The jade is indeed in Tengchong Mansion, but the horse is in the Qilan Department, and part of the reason is that the Qilan Department borders Tubo and Tianzhu!" How to operate is your business, and I am only responsible for making suggestions. ”
"Okay, let me think about it, but if you want to embezzle military funds, my rule is that you write me a plan based on the actual situation, if there is no problem, then I will report to the court, and you can also implement it."
Such a big plan cannot be completed overnight, nor can it be seen in ten days and half a month, it is almost equivalent to a long-term support work, so Lu Zifei and Yu Jia are not in a hurry, and Yu Jia also has the meaning of exploring Lu Zifei's tone.
Lu Ziyun, who had stayed in Gaochang Kingdom for a long time, also finished trading the only goods they brought, and the role of Ahri Nana at this time was shown, in the bazaar, they were not afraid that the Turks would directly grab their goods, but the buyers kept the price of the goods very low.
"Thank you very much for helping us for so long, we will return to the Central Plains in two days, there is no banquet in the world, let's separate here!" Lu Ziyun said to Ahri Nana with some lack of confidence.
Yan Zijing watched the two of them separate with interest, in fact, he was like Spiegel in his heart, they still had to go to Yanqi and Beiting, and even if time permitted, they still wanted to go to Broken Leaf City to have a look, but now Lu Ziyun wanted to get out of Ani Nana's field of vision.
The knife in Ahri Nana's hand turned quickly in her hand, and Lu Ziyun was terrified when she saw it, if she accidentally stabbed herself in the body, even if she couldn't kill anyone, it would be enough for her to drink a pot.
"You are not a businessman, although I don't know the purpose of your coming to Xizhou, but I can guarantee that you are not a businessman."
Lu Ziyun said: "Why do you say that we are not merchants, you have also seen the transaction of goods, many of them are done by you, is it a bit too much for you to doubt your friends so much." ”
Ahri Nana sneered: "I haven't seen a merchant who doesn't care about the transaction price, you tell me that the merchant came from so far away but didn't care about how much money he sold, and so many of you carry such a little goods, this is not logical, am I right?" ”
Lu Ziyun didn't expect this little girl to find out that something was wrong from these places, so she quibbled: "It's the first time we can't do it!" It's not normal to be new here, but if we make money, we will be able to bring more goods next time. ”
"Hehe, you know that the caravan must have at least one shopkeeper, an account office, and the rest are guys who work hard, but look at you, except for the two of you, the rest are guards with weapons, there are such merchants in the world, you tell me."
This really made Lu Ziyun speechless, who would have thought that a girl could have such a delicate mind, but Yan Zijing smiled and said: "That girl, what do you think we are and what are we doing in Xizhou." ”
In front of Yan Zijing, Ahri Nana really didn't dare to be too presumptuous, those eyes that seemed to be smiling but not smiling seemed to be able to see the bottom of a person's heart, it was okay to mess around in front of Lu Ziyun, but it was not okay to talk to Yan Zijing.
"I don't know who you are, but I know that you are being targeted, and now that you want to leave, you must identify yourself, otherwise you will never leave Gaochang alive, I am telling the truth."
Yan Zijing was taken aback, but said calmly on her face: "Horse thief? Then we're really not afraid, you can also see our hundreds of guards, they are not vegetarians. ”
Ahri Nana said proudly: "It is impossible for horse thieves, this is Gaochang, it is an important town in Xizhou, the city lord will not tolerate horse thieves running rampant here, it is the tiger army that is eyeing you, they have the responsibility to monitor anyone who enters Gaochang City, you have so many people, so ostentatious, how can you not attract attention." ”
After Ahri Nana left, Lu Ziyun said: "What should I do, this is really a bit surprising, should we directly identify ourselves or continue to hide." ”
Yan Zijing said: "I'm a little carried away! But it's nothing, we didn't use force, and we paid the taxes that should be paid, and they just want to do something to us, and there has to be a reason for you to say? You can also see the Western Zhou Uighurs, they don't have that strength, as long as we show our true identity, they don't dare to do anything to us. ”
