Chapter 429: Planning Yangzhou

"The family teacher is quite tough, and when I visited his old man during the Chinese New Year, he was still practicing Tai Chi from your house!"

Wen Feng said with a smile, a few years ago, when he went to see the teacher, his body was not as good as a year, and he was worried that this year was much tougher than in previous years, and he even ate a few meatballs when he ate.

Most of the topics of the two revolved around Li Gang, interspersed with anecdotes about people's livelihood, but they did not snub other officials, which was a relatively pleasant banquet, and there would be no bloody plots.

At the end of the banquet, Wen Fengcai said with a smile: "Master Hou is a powerful man!" Wu can open up the territory and expand the territory, and Wen can stabilize the country. Taiyuan was so rich that it was rectified by you, and the officials from all over the country were extremely envious. ”

Other officials also looked at Cai Cong hotly, this is not just a master! It's still a political achievement! What a real political achievement!

"Don't talk about this, I'm thinking about it, Yangzhou Mansion and Lingnan are both good places. A little development can be rich in flowing oil. The food in Lingnan is too ugly, and I don't want to deal with it for the time being. Yangzhou is different, I handed over the seal to Chang'an a few days ago, and the calculation is almost there, if you can get permission, then you will have to trouble your adults to cooperate! ”

Cai Cong said with a smile, everyone was shocked, but they didn't expect Cai Cong to think of going with them.

immediately complimented Cai Cong, and hoped to make a good impression in front of Cai Cong, when the public voice is there, and the political achievements are there, it is not a sure thing to go up a few steps?

"There is a way that everyone gathers firewood and the flame is high, and it is not enough to have my strategy, but also need the help of all your adults! At that time, if the maritime trade route is opened, I dare not say anything else, and it is a sure thing that Yangzhou will become the first government road in the Tang Dynasty. ”

Cai Cong said with a smile, the smiles on the faces of the officials present when they heard the four words of maritime trade were all gone, Wen Fengqiang asked Cai Cong with a smile: "Master Hou, what do you say about this maritime trade route?" ”

"Naturally, it is maritime economic and trade exchanges, you should also know that the world is very big, there are many countries of all kinds, and our Datang is a first-class power in the world, even if our things are a piece of cloth or a porcelain bowl in other countries, they can be exchanged for the same weight, or even several times the gold. Therefore, if you bring a boatload of silk or porcelain to sea, you can exchange it for gold and silver, is it understandable? ”

Cai Cong said with a smile, such a big piece of cake, he believes that everyone will be tempted, not to mention that these people are people who can eat cakes.

"This, if this is the case, then the lower official should persuade the Hou Ye to give up!"

"Oh? What does this mean, don't you believe what Ben Hou said? ”

Wen Feng changed a lot before and after, and even his tone became cold, and Cai Cong was a little uncomfortable.

"Where do you dare not believe the Hou Ye, it's just ...... Don't say it, don't say it, Hou Ye respects you, listen to the advice of the lower official, don't think about any business anymore, this is unrealistic! ”

Wen Feng's smile was a little ugly, and Cai Cong also saw his perfunctory meaning, so he immediately pressed it without mentioning it, picked up the wine glass and walked with him.

After the banquet dispersed, Cai Cong and Wen Feng came to the Thorn Mansion, and Cai Cong directly occupied the magpie's nest and lived in the best house.

"Send someone to find out why the officials here are so resistant to maritime trade. In addition, I sent someone to check the movement at sea, and I was always unsteady in my heart, and I felt that something was going to happen. ”

After coming back, Cai Cong couldn't sleep, he always felt that something was about to happen that scared him, so he finally lifted the quilt and came out to give orders to the guards beside him.

What he didn't know was that Songwen and those pirates had bypassed Hailing and entered Yangzhou Mansion in batches along the wide river.

If there was no Songwen, this group of pirates would have sacked Hailing, but with a military advisor like Songwen, their ambitions were infinitely inflated, and the sword was pointed directly at Yangzhou, with a planned and organized attack, it was not a group of rabble at all.

In an ordinary inn, Songwen was chatting with a few fierce and vicious people, all of them with hateful faces, without a trace of good people.

"Mr. Songwen, in your opinion, when can we do it?"

A bearded pirate politely asked Songwen, there is no way! I know that fighting, killing, killing, and killing people have good brains, and they are good at fighting, so I have to be polite.

"That's right! Mr. Songwen, you are fine, but the appearance of my subordinates is different from ordinary people, and I am afraid that they will be exposed after a long time! ”

Redbeard, the pirate leader of the Great Food Country, also shouted worriedly, they were unscrupulous at sea, but when they entered the Tang Dynasty, they had no bottom in their hearts! In particular, their complexion is exotic.

"Don't worry! It won't be a few days. Originally, I had already ambushed people and planned to take down Cai Cong's family and several princes, but I don't know why Cai Cong suddenly came to Yangzhou and got everyone to the Assassin's Mansion.

If it's just that Cai Cong just feels embarrassed and unseemly, then we will use fireworks as a signal, as long as Yangzhou City sets off fireworks, we will attack. ”

Songwen said with hatred, his hatred for Cai Cong could not be washed away from all the rivers and lakes. At this moment, he hated that he didn't do it yesterday, otherwise he might have caught all of Cai Cong's relatives.

"Good! Lao Tzu's brain is not good, so he listens to Mr. But...... What are Fireworks? ”

The bearded man looked stupid and proud, and at the end he whispered what the hell the fireworks were. Redbeard also looked at Songwen blankly, what are the fireworks? Could it be that there is still smoke that will bloom when it becomes a sperm?

"That's a novelty made up by Cai Cong, and it looks good when it blooms in the sky. I have an old relationship with the housekeeper who doesn't drive, and when I was having wine yesterday, I kindly proposed to him to let his master set off fireworks to please Cai Cong. Hey...... There are very few people as good as me. ”

Songwen laughed as he spoke, he is good at figuring out human nature and bringing out the dark side of human nature to the fullest. The disaster in Lingnan is his masterpiece, the silver that can be seen everywhere, the luck of the neighbors, but a few hands turned a county town that he had indoctrinated for several years and the people were simple into purgatory.

The bearded and redbearded were overjoyed after hearing this, but they were more wary of Songwen in their hearts, this person Siwenwen spoke with a smile, but he was very vicious! It's so scary than the knives they have.

"But don't be too happy, there are 5,000 standing garrisons in this Yangzhou Mansion, and there are also thousands of guards around Cai Cong, adding up to at least 6,000 guards in this Yangzhou Mansion.

We add up to only 1,000 more than them, and there are only about 400 people who can sneak into the city with proof of origin, and there are only about 300 people who can be mixed in by you big food fake merchants, which is not enough for people to practice if they fall into 6,000 elites! So you have to think long-term, get it? Come and see the map, this is the dignitaries and nobles of Yangzhou, Dongfang, and the rich and noble families live here. As soon as the bearded fireworks are released, you will take two hundred people to give me this piece, such a big movement, they will be tired of fighting the fire, and when you see the fire, you will go to attack the north gate, as long as you take the north gate, we will go straight to the assassin mansion without saying a word, as long as we take down the dignitaries, this Yangzhou city is what we say. I've learned that the gates are usually guarded by about eighty people at night......"
