Liu Ruyan glanced at Li Ze and said, "When you hear the enemy's chaos, beware of joy, how do you think you are worried?" Not at all happy? ”

Li Ze shook his head, "Our enemy is a pseudo-Liang, not the people of Guanzhong, how can we be happy?" ”

Liu Ruyan rolled her eyes: "But don't forget, the entire pseudo-beam, which is supported by these people, has a messed foundation, which is naturally a good opportunity for us." It's a pity that now we are also mud bodhisattvas crossing the river, otherwise the army will press over, and maybe we will be able to recover Chang'an and Luoyang in one fell swoop. ”

"Qiao'er, have you ever seen people starve to death?"

Liu Ruyan shook her head.

"Have you ever seen Yi Zi eat?"

Liu Ruyan's face changed slightly, and she still shook her head.

"I haven't seen it either!"

Liu Ruyan laughed out loud: "I can still see it for you, tell me so much." ”

"But I've heard them talk about it." Li Zedao: "The children in the secret camp basically came like this, they told me, and Tu Hu also told me something. The situation is so miserable that I can't bear to hear about it. ”

"What can we do now? It's not that there is no way out. It would be great to be able to keep our people under our rule from this sin. Liu Ruyan said: "We can only let our strength completely overwhelm the other party earlier, and then defeat the opponent to save these people, now, it is useless to think more." ”

"That's right!" Li Ze nodded.

Seeing that Li Ze was in a better mood, Liu Ruyan bent down and opened a few drawers from under the soft couch, took out some things from them, and put them in front of Li Ze: "Eat something, these are all specially sent by Shen Congxing." ”

"What are they?"

"They are all some special snacks in Cangzhou. Dates, water chestnuts from Baiyangdian Lake, etc., you can taste them! Liu Ruyan peeled a water chestnut and fed it to Li Ze's mouth.

"These things are also sold in Wuyi!" Li Ze said with a smile: "Actually, it's not just that, the donkey meat in the river is burned, and the pancakes in the river are all very famous in Wuyi." ”

"But after all, it's a piece of people's hearts!" Liu Ruyan said: "He is always your attendant when you are at your worst, and he has always been loyal to you." He has been stationed in Dizhou for many years, and the right leading guard has not moved, not only he is anxious, but the generals under his command are also anxious, who doesn't want to be rewarded for meritorious service and be crowned a wife and son? ”

Li Ze pondered for a moment and said: "Shen Congxing's talent is limited, but this person is quite ambitious and wants to get ahead, which has been shown since he was still my guard. He is not like Chen Bing, Chu Sheng and the others, he knows his weight, so he never dares to have big extravagant expectations. Shen Congxing's ability is stronger than a few of them, but if I really want him to lead the army independently, I really don't feel at ease. ”

"Isn't Shen Congxing more reliable than Tian Ping, Xue Chong, and Zhang Jia?"

"Of course, reliability is more reliable, but we can't just look at reliability when we employ people, right? He still has to have the corresponding ability! Li Ze said lightly: "Let's just talk about Tian Ping, do you say how good his character is?" Not necessarily. But now that he is in the land of Weibo, he forced Tianping Cao Xuan to hurry up and retreat in an all-round way. Zhang Jia controlled the Monan and North Hetao regions, threatened Tibet, and supported the Western Regions, which was not outstanding? Xue Chong replaced Liu Chenglin to Pingzhou, and Deng Jingshan was at a loss for him. Shen Congxing is really going to these places, do you think I can rest assured? ”

"Then you still let him lead a guard?"

"For one, I don't want to chill the hearts of those who followed me first. Now the old people of the Chengde family, the role is becoming less and less obvious, Shen Congxing no matter what, he also came out of the old faction of Chengde, secondly, when my power was still small, he was indeed deadly, and he was never afraid of death in battle. Li Ze said: "General Yiwei, is he still not satisfied?" Even if he is transferred to another place in the future, that level will also go up, and he will always be indispensable for glory and wealth. Now let him train the soldiers, if he is really smart, he will honestly train the soldiers for me. ”

Speaking of which, Liu Ruyan has nothing more to say. "By the way, what is the reason why you let Shen Congxin's right leading guard often practice with the sailor? I've heard that these soldiers have suffered greatly. ”

"If you don't endure hardships, how can you travel all over the world in the future?" Li Ze snorted coldly. "I'm still counting on the right leader to become a dragon on the sea in the future! If Shen Congxing can't even see through this point, he can't guess that he, the general of the right leading army, is about to reach the end, and he will be transferred to Wuyi to any idle post in Ming'er! ”

Liu Ruyan stuck out her tongue, stopped talking about it, peeled the water chestnut for Li Ze for a while, and said, "How to settle that group of people in Lingnan?" According to the previous statement, in the future, they will all be responsible for the safety of the eldest girl, and those servants under their command must give them a place, right? ”

"Throw these things to Tian Lingzi to worry about!" Li Ze smiled: "They want to form their own system in Zhenzhou or Wuyi in the future, and let them go, what tricks can they make!" ”

"Don't be careless, after all, where is the name! There are always some people who don't want you to go to them. Not to mention that people like Han Qi still have a lot of influence now. ”

"Of course I know, don't worry about these things." Li Zedao: "There have been arrangements in Zhenzhou for a long time. ”

"You said that the five hundred guards, can you buy them?" Liu Ruyan asked suddenly.

"Don't even think about it!" Li Ze said categorically: "Since these people can be selected by the Xiang family to follow, they must be loyal, and besides, these people's families and dependents are all in Lingnan, who dares to have two hearts?" To do such a thing would be a shame for nothing. ”

Liu Ruyan snorted suddenly: "It's really annoying to think about it, it's really unpleasant, and the days of having a Bodhisattva on your head are just not good." Although the little emperor was studying in Wuwei Academy, he was still restless. Right now, there is a big girl, just at a glance, it is not a fuel-efficient lamp, and I don't know what moths they will make in the future! ”

"Since it's a moth, what's there to worry about!" Li Ze spread his hands and said, "Is it necessary to think about these now?" If you really want to think about this, it will be at least three years from now. ”

Three years later, it was time for the little emperor to get married.

And the little emperor after the big wedding must also be pro-government.

At that time, the struggle between imperial power and relative power will really come.

Soon after Li Ze, Liu Ruyan and others returned to Wuyi, an auction on the right to operate transportation lines was in full swing.

Two weeks ago, Datang Weekly publicly released the specific targets and bidding methods of this auction, which caused a monstrous wave among the people for a while, which is still a new operation for the people, and they have not seen the same thing before.

They are very clear about the four transportation routes that the imperial court is going to open, because before this, ninety percent of Wuyi people measured the size of the city with their feet.

Of course, for the vast majority of people, they are just holding a mentality of watching the excitement, after all, just a starting price of 50,000 yuan makes ninety percent of people can only be one spectator. Without absolute strength, it is difficult to participate in this competition. A pre-bid lowered the competitor to a mere 12 households.

The so-called pre-bid means that the person who intends to participate in the auction will write down and seal his psychological price and hand it in, and then the special person sent by the household department will select the person with the highest bid to participate in the final auction according to the number of bids. Finally, the 12 merchants who participated in the auction were determined.

In the Tongda Mule and Horse Shop, Qi Heng clenched his fists, looked at the group of brothers in the hall, and said loudly: "This time, we must take the West Ring Road in the outer city, this is a great opportunity for us to reach further." Brother Tang sold himself, so we found this business for us, so that we people have a settlement in Wuyi, and can settle down here, and now Brother Tang is fighting and dying in the Western Regions, we have to earn him a big family business, and when he comes back, he will enjoy happiness comfortably. What's the opinion of the big guys? ”

"Listen to Second Brother Qi." A group of men raised their arms and shouted.

"Okay, the big guys are all good men with real temperaments, I won't say more, this time it takes a lot of money, I trust a lot of relationships, hit a lot of people, and only heard that among the twelve competitors, we are the lowest in the pre-bidding, so it is foreseeable that there will definitely be a large increase in the price at that time."

"Second Brother Qi, we gathered 100,000 together before, isn't it enough?"

"Far from enough!" Qi Heng took a breath and said, "I have made my house a classic. ”

Everyone in the house was taken aback: "Second Brother Qi, the yard you just bought this year is ready to get married!" ”

"What's the big deal if you don't get married." Qi Heng shook his head: "Winning this bid is the right thing." ”

"Then let's go home and pawn everything we can, but Second Brother Qi, how much do you have to be sure?"

"We are weak, I know this, so we are bidding for the worst outer city West Ring Road, but at least, it will take 200,000 yuan to go up."

"Two hundred thousand?" Everyone in the room was stunned for a moment: "Second Brother Qi, isn't it enough to sell us all?" ”

"So, I went to find another person." Qi Heng looked at the people.

At the same moment, in a quiet room in Zhuyuan, an old man with a long beard in a robe also looked at a group of people in the room with a serious face: "Everyone, since the Xue family went to Tubo and the Sima family went to the Western Regions, our Hedong families have completely lost their momentum and have been excluded in Wuyi. So this time we're going to take the best route to the inner city, don't worry about the money, and don't be afraid of losing money. Even if we take a lot of money to buy Li Xiang's favor, do you understand? ”

"Understood, understood!"

"As long as Li Xiang is happy, we will be able to live leisurely and prosperous in Datang in the future, otherwise no matter how much money there is in the family, it will not be peaceful, think about the Xue family and the Sima family, what kind of power they were back then, and now, how many people still remember them?"
