Chapter 78: Twenty Gold
Some of this knowledge is what Nan Ke understands by looking at the general history of the world, and some of it is Nan Ke's own memory.
Therefore, it also made Nan Ke inevitably a little embarrassed.
You must know that his former fief is now nearly a hundred times larger, unlike the only county-level fief left at this time, which was immediately lost because of the pledge.
If Dingguo Gong is the most powerful, it is not too much to say that he is the lord of a country.
The current Nanke is hard to describe......
It is precisely because of these things that the interest of a Shangnan Ke is not very high.
Su Youmeng, who was sitting next to him, seemed to have something on his mind, and didn't talk much along the way.
Only occasionally lift the curtains to take a look at the scenery along the way.
This Nanke also saw some clues.
Judging from the situation in the countryside alone, Changning County is much better than his Yongping County.
Whether it's the repair of a farmhouse, the cleaning of a country road, or the growth of corn in a field, it is completely different.
Yongping County is relatively isolated from village to village because of the relatively large number of mountains.
Hoping that it would be difficult to make any profit from farming, he simply took care of it casually, and thought of begging for food from the mountains and waters.
Fortunately, the land is vast and sparsely populated, so they will not be able to eat the mountain goods in the mountains and the fish and shrimp in the water.
In general, compared with Changning County, Yongping County is the difference between mountainous and rural areas.
This also made Nan Ke even more sad, even if there was only one county fief, it was the poorest kind.
"What do you think?" Su Youmeng saw that Nan Ke was wandering and asked.
"It's almost noon, and I haven't seen you cry hungry, it's a bit strange." Nan Ke muttered.
"Really? It's already noon? Su was stunned.
"Well, look at the sun, it's already on your head." Nan Ke pointed to it and said.
"yes, as soon as you say it, I feel a little hungry."
Nan Ke poked his head out and glanced at it, he was almost in Changning County, and said, "Do you want to eat overlord meal?" ”
"What is a bully meal?" Su Youmeng was a little puzzled.
"It's the kind that doesn't pay for eating, it's always exciting." Nan Ke followed the good path.
"Is it really okay for us to do this?" Su Youmeng was a little moved, and some didn't dare to do so.
"It's okay, you have money anyway, if you can't beat it, I'll leave you to pay off the debt." Nan Ke said.
Su Youmeng's face instantly darkened when she heard this, and she snorted: "Okay, I'm going to see who will be left to pay off the debt at that time." ”
In this way, after the two agreed on the same opinion, the carriage also drove to Changning City.
Then under the command of Nan Ke, their huge horse team stopped at the Bafang Tower.
This Bafang Building is a restaurant, and the boss behind the scenes is Changping Hou.
As a vassal of the Guang Dynasty, the Marquis of Changping wanted to support his own army, and the taxes of the fief alone were definitely not enough, so he would also invest in some trading.
This Bafang Building is one of them.
Xiao Er, who was waiting at the door, didn't dare to slack off when he saw this large group of people, and hurriedly led everyone to the house.
Seeing this, Nan Ke drank: "Don't just look at us, feed the horses outside." ”
"Okay, let's go." Xiao Er answered, and called someone to serve these uncles.
After all, if you want these war horses to be halfway through, you have to let them eat and drink well and rest well.
In case of emergency, in order to be able to quickly pass on the news, it is more than one person to ride, or sixty miles to change horses.
In an era when horses are the dominant force of action, it is also very important to take care of horses.
There is also a horse ben (bian), an errand that specializes in raising horses and running errands, which gradually evolved into horse boys.
After beckoning people to serve these Uncle Ma, Nan Ke went to the Bafang Building and took their seats one after another.
Without waiting for the second brother to ask, he had already shouted, asking people to choose special dishes and expensive ones.
After a while, a few tables of dishes were delivered.
The soldiers, who had been busy for a long time, were not polite, and shook off their cheeks and began to eat.
The meal was neither long nor short, about half an hour later, Nan Ke and the others ate seven, seven, eight, eight.
"Little Er, are our horses served?" Nan Ke suddenly shouted.
"Okay, okay, the forage and water are sufficient, and we have specially arranged people to help you brush the horseback." The little two answered and came to the front.
"Alright, in that case, we'll go first." Nanke got up and walked outside.
Su Youmeng hesitated, and also had the courage to follow him.
The little second brother saw that these were some military masters, and he didn't dare to force him to stay, and then he thought about how his boss said that he was also the Marquis of Changping, not to mention that this Changning County was still the fief of the Marquis of Changping.
Then he stepped forward boldly and said, "Masters, you seem to have forgotten to settle the bill." ”
"How could I forget, I remember! However, my brother Qian Yuhe said that if he has time to eat at Bafang Building, all the expenses will be counted as his. Did he lie to me? Nan Ke said with a dark face.
"But...... Mr. Qian didn't explain this to us...... "That little two is embarrassed."
"It's not simple, you go and call Qian Yuhe to ask, just tell him that I'm Nan Ke, and ask him if he remembers it." Nan Ke said again.
When the little second heard this, he was also startled.
He has also heard about Nan Ke and Qian Yuhe.
I also know that Qian Yuhe broke his leg a few days ago, and it is said that Nan Ke did this.
But at this time, this person's legs and feet are not very sharp, could it be that his leg injury was caused by Mr. Qian?
For a while, Xiao Er was also a little unsure of what Nan Ke meant, so he stayed in place, and he couldn't stop it, and he didn't stop it.
In this stalemate, an old shopkeeper hurriedly came and asked, "I'm sorry, I don't know what happened here?" ”
Seeing this, Xiao Er hurriedly explained the general situation of the matter.
This old shopkeeper knows a lot more inside story than Xiao Er, and when he looks at the person in front of him, he is indeed consistent with the legendary Nan Ke.
Thinking of Nan Ke stripping Qian Yuhe naked and throwing him on the street in Yongping County, I also understand that Nan Ke brought so many people over today just to find trouble.
"Back to Dingguogong, Mr. Qian is no longer in Changning County, and I won't be able to find him for a while! What do you think? Why don't you write a note to prove that you have had a meal here, and when I see Mr. Qian, I will ask him to confirm it, and if it is true as you say, I will destroy the note. The old shopkeeper whispered.
Su Youmeng was on the side, looking at the two of them curiously, anyway, there is money in his pocket, if he can't eat the overlord meal, it's a big deal to pay.
"What's the matter? I'm shameless as the Duke of Dingguo? It's only a few dollars for this meal, and I'll owe you it? Nan Ke said with a dark face.
"You know I didn't mean that, I'm just worried about ......"
Before the old shopkeeper finished speaking, Nan Ke interrupted: "That's what you mean, you just look down on me Dingguogong!" I won't write it today, you can do whatever you like.
I won't give you the money, I don't believe him, I don't want Qian Yu and my face, I dare to ask me for this money. ”
When the old shopkeeper heard this, he wanted to say that you would be shameless, but he didn't dare.
Looking at the military masters who turned a blind eye, the old shopkeeper finally sighed and said, "Okay, this matter is the old man's master, Grandpa Guo, let's go......"
"Humph! Remember to ask Qian Yuhe to explain to other shops under his name earlier, and I will still come to patronize you when I have time in the future. After Nan Ke finished speaking, he shook his arms and left.
After leaving the Bafang Tower, they took a carriage and continued to rush in the direction of Sheyang County.
There are fewer trails along the way, and the speed of travel on the road is much faster.
After leaving Changning City, Su Youmeng asked with a smile: "Why do you like to bully people so much, you used to bully me, and now you bully these little second brothers." ”
"Where did I bully them, it's obvious that they are bullying me." Nanke snorted.
"I obviously saw you yelling at people to do something, and in the end they didn't pay a penny, why did they bully you." Su Youmeng argued.
"Do you know whose fiefs these counties below Wubo County are now?" Nan Ke asked suddenly.
"I don't know!"
"The county seat under Wubo County, except for Yongping County, is basically all under the name of Changping Hou, and the former Changping Hou only has two fiefdoms, Yongping County and Changning County.
Why did my father expand rapidly after his death, and I ended up with a barren Yongping County? Nanke's face became a little gloomy.
"Didn't you lose these blocks to them?" Su Youmeng asked puzzled.
At the beginning, Nan Ke's father's huge defeat in the state came to the country, so that the emperor directly cut down the fiefdoms of the two counties.
After that, the poor performance of martial arts deprived some fiefdoms.
The rest of the fiefdoms were all resold and lost by Nanke.
In general, Nanke also has part of the responsibility.
But it is true that this Changping Hou keeps trapping him.
"That's because the Marquis of Changping is the knife in the hands of the prince! When this knife stabs the enemy, the prince will also give him some benefits. Nanke snorted.
For a long time, the one who wanted to deal with his father was the royal family and the crown prince Wei Yan.
As the prince's dog, Liguo has been working in front of him.
And the Marquis of Changping, as a former general of the Duke of Liguo, naturally became a member of the princelings.
When the prince suppressed Nan Ke, he was next to Nan Ke again, and he bore the brunt of it.
"So, it's because the Marquis of Changping has been targeting you that you went to deal with them?" Su Youmeng whispered.
Nanke nodded and did not speak.
"Is there anything I need to do?" Su Youmeng asked again.
"No, I can solve these problems myself. Some hatreds always have to be done by themselves, so that they can be hearty. Nanke chuckled softly.
Su Youmeng nodded, came to the carriage and whispered something.
Then the speed of the car suddenly became much faster.
The two of them didn't say anything all the way to the end, they were all in a state of fake sleep.
When passing by Sheyang City, the carriage did not stop, and it was not until this evening that they finally came to the outside of Wubo City.
"I've already sent you, so I won't send you into the city." Su Youmeng looked at Nan Kedao beside him.
"Well, then I'll go down." Nan Ke answered and prepared to get out of the car.
At this time, Su Youmeng suddenly said: "Wait a minute, give me twenty gold." ”
