Text Chapter 59 The History of the Xuzhou Assassin

Han Qian's mood fluctuated, he didn't sleep well all night, he got up early in the morning, practiced boxing, and didn't go out before noon, he was thinking about the things planned by the secret Cao Zuosi in the house, and he was thinking about what strategy to use to cooperate with the Xinchang Marquis Mansion, so that the imperial court could transfer his father out of Jinling to the local post as soon as possible.

dragged it until the afternoon, and asked Zhao Kuo to escort him to the Linjiang Marquis Mansion to help prepare for the wedding.

Li Zhihe was in the Linjiang Marquis Mansion when he saw Han Qian coming, so he pulled him aside and said: "The king of Xuzhou assassin Wang Yu died of illness in office, but no one is willing to take office, and the officials have been hesitant for a while, I don't know if Lord Han has such intentions......"

During the Kaiyuan period of the previous dynasty, Jiangnan Province was divided into Jiangnan East Road, Jiangnan West Road and Qianzhong Road, and Xuzhou was located at the junction of Jiangnan West Road and Qianzhong Road.

Even in the era when Jiangnan has been fully developed, Xuzhou is still a barbaric land.

Although the Qianzhong region to the west and south of Xuzhou was also included in the territory of Great Chu, its territory was all in the state of Jianzhou, and the previous dynasty did not effectively bring it under the jurisdiction of the central government.

The important positions such as the assassin history of the prefectures in Qianzhong were hereditary by the local indigenous leaders, and at this time, they only paid some symbolic tribute to Jinling every year.

The situation in Xuzhou is slightly better than that of the Qianzhong Prefectures, but it is not much better, except for the main officials such as the Assassin Shi who are appointed by the imperial court, but the local indigenous forces of the Yi domain are still very large and are in a semi-autonomous state.

In addition to the mixed residence of the Yi clan and the complicated people's feelings, Xuzhou has high mountains and dangerous waters, and miasma is everywhere, and it is really a place where people are afraid in the former dynasty and the court officials will be degraded when they make mistakes.

However, at this time, the state of Chu only has fifty-one states under its jurisdiction, and the history of a state, no matter how remote it is, is also a real shortage that countless people are competing for, how can no one be willing to do it?

It should be that there is a lack of history in Xuzhou, and the stalemate between several forces has not yet been reached for the time being.

Han Qian believed that Li Pu and they would have to pay a considerable price if they wanted to compete for this vacancy, but it should have been yesterday's incident that played a catalytic role in deciding to let his father replace this vacancy so quickly.

Xuzhou is a little more remote, but in addition to not being qualified to pick fat and thin, sometimes being desolate is not necessarily a bad thing, Han Qian arched his hand towards Li Zhihe and said:

"Thank you Hou Yu for your help, and when Han Qian returns to his house at night, he will give Hou Yu an answer."

"That's easy to say. At the time of the four wars, Lord Han had the talent to apply it to the world, and he should govern the place, and it was not indispensable for him to visit the prime minister in the future. Li Zhihe laughed and said.

Facing Li Zhihe's expectations, Han Qian just smiled, thinking that the third prince Yang Yuanpu had a weak foundation, but there were less than four years left, if he didn't have the courage and consciousness to take every step of the way, and if he wanted to take the throne from the crown prince and King Xin, the chances were really slim.

"There was a lot of movement in your house yesterday!" At this time, Feng Yi, Kong Xirong, and Li Chong came out of it, and when they saw Han Qian and Li Zhihe standing at the intersection, they immediately sneakily came over to talk.

"What's going on in my house yesterday?" Han Qian asked with a smile.

Han Jun and Han Duan used horses to transport the corpse of the evil slave Niu Erdan out of the Han house yesterday and left with hatred, when it was not yet dark.

In the capital, one person was killed by an arrow, and the right arm of three people was discounted, even if they were all Han's family soldiers, the military envoys patrolling the street shops saw it, and it was impossible not to stop and interrogate.

No matter what excuses Han Jun and Han Duan find to prevaricate the past, it is impossible not to cause alarm.

However, Han Qian didn't want to explain too much, so he asked Feng Yi lightly.

Li Chong stared at Han Qian, seeing that Han Qian didn't want to say more, he secretly hated in his heart, but he had no way to pry Han Qian's mouth, and asked what happened in the Han family's house yesterday, which made Han Qian set on arson and kill people, and made Han Jun, the eldest son of Han Daoming, who came to visit, leave so embarrassed with hatred?

Li Zhihe saw that Han Qian had only been in the past night, and he was already calm, and he also secretly admired, thinking that such a character should be able to accomplish something for the third prince.

Li Chong took Feng Yi and Kong Xirong away, and Han Qian followed Li Zhihe to meet the third prince Yang Yuanpu.

Han Qian believed that Li Zhihe and Li Chong had found an opportunity to tell Yang Yuanpu about many things that happened yesterday, and it was not easy for them to avoid Guo Rong, Song Xin and others in the Hou Mansion, so they needed to hurry up, so he said bluntly:

"If you want to hide the eyes and ears of the Anning Palace and King Xin, you can set up the secret Cao Zuo Division, and the government office can be secretly set up in the Qiuhu Mountain Annex; In the name of the hired workers of the mountain village, craftsmen and soldiers were hired from the cantonment military government to train them; And the money and food needed should also be drawn from the transactions between the lodge and the cantonment military division, or it may be able to ensure that no one else is alarmed......"

Chai Jian's side how to set up and operate the secret Cao Right Division, Han Qian couldn't control it, he didn't sleep well from last night to midnight, and this morning he has been thinking about how to organize and set up the Zuo Division, and he also wrote down some thoughts, and handed a few pages of paper to the third prince Yang Yuanpu at this time.

Although this matter was ultimately decided by Xinchang Marquis Li Pu and the black gauze woman, Han Qian still wanted to develop the habit that everything must be passed by the third prince Yang Yuanpu first.

To succeed, the first needs people, and the second needs money.

Han Qian thought about how to arrange the family soldiers and the children of the family soldiers in the house when his father really had the opportunity to go out of the office.

Han Qian advocated that Fan Xicheng, Zhao Kuo, and the family soldiers who married the hungry women a few years ago, as well as the sons of families like Lin Jingzong, should leave Jinling with their fathers and go to Xuzhou.

In this way, not only can it ensure that Guo Nu'er and other children of family soldiers from starving people have no roots in Jinling and can be loyal to him without being threatened, but at the same time, those family soldiers who still stay in Jinling to follow him will not dare to betray him at will because they have children who work by his father's side.

However, after the family soldiers and the children of the family soldiers were so distributed, there were more than 30 people around Han Qian who could use them, which was far from enough to support the secret Cao Zuosi.

Moreover, no matter how much Li Pu, the Marquis of Xinchang, and Yang Yuanpu, the third prince, trusted him, it was impossible for them to agree that he would only use his direct cronies from top to bottom of the secret Cao Zuosi.

At present, there are 300 people employed in the stone kiln of the mountain villa, most of whom are hired from the cantonment soldiers, and Han Qian considered selecting 200 people from the cantonment military government in the name of employing craftsmen and craftsmen's apprentices, which should not disturb others.

As for money and grain, of course, it could be secretly allocated by the Xinchang Marquis Mansion or the Late Red Mansion, but Han Qian knew the importance of money and grain.

The supply of money and grain was controlled by the Late Red Mansion or the Xinchang Marquis' Mansion, and it was impossible for the Secretary Cao Zuosi to get rid of the shadow of the Late Red Mansion and the Xinchang Marquis Mansion and gain a status independent of the control of the Late Red Mansion.

Although the market price of lime has fallen sharply, the 150 quintals of lime that the mountain village supplies to the cantonment military government every day are only half of the market price.

Han Qian thought that the cantonment military government would buy lime from the mountain villa at the market price in the future, and successively make up the difference in the previous price, so that Han Qian would be able to get a surplus of three or four million yuan from the cantonment military government every year to maintain the operation of the secretary Cao Zuosi.

This not only prevented the late Red Mansion or the Marquis of Xinchang from pinching the lifeblood of the secret Cao Zuosi, but also ensured that power was concentrated under the structure of the Longque General's Mansion.

As for how the secret Cao Zuo Division operates internally, Han Qian hopes that he has the right to specialize, and he is only responsible for and reports to the third prince Yang Yuanpu.

Although Han Qian only thought about these things overnight, all aspects had been taken into account.

The Marquis of Xinchang Mansion and the Late Red Mansion also handed over the affairs around the third prince Yang Yuanpu to Li Zhihe to control, and immediately decided that Cangcao's side would allocate one million money to make up the previous difference, and Han Qian would recruit people from the cantonment camp by himself.

The manpower selected by the secretary Cao Zuosi can not be made by the military government soldiers, but the employment list needs to be handed over to Li Zhihe to personally control; No matter how generous and trustworthy you are, it is impossible to leave no checks and balances at all.

Li Zhihe said again: "The right division will also draw up a list for Han to join the army!" ”

Han Qian nodded, seeing that the eyes of the third prince Yang Yuanpu were also full of expectation, it seemed that the situation in front of him was really good, he sighed in his heart, under the shadow or suppression of Emperor Tianyou, there is no frightening cruel action on the side of Anning Palace at present, or the vision is mainly focused on King Xin, but after showing his fangs here, the situation must not be as easy as it seems now.

…………

…………

Han Qian received a guard military attache waist card engraved with dragon finch pattern from the third prince Yang Yuanpu, and then said goodbye and came out of Xiaoxiang Courtyard.

Looking at the appearance of many people inside and out, Han Qian smiled in his heart, the third prince Yang Yuanpu is much more precocious than his peers, but Li Yao, the youngest daughter of the Marquis of Xinchang, is even younger, and she has just turned twelve years old during the Chinese New Year, and I don't know if she knows the meaning of the big wedding.

At this time, I don't know where Feng Yi came out again, and asked sneakily, "What did Your Highness call you over?" ”

"Your Highness saw that it was quite effective for me to build a stone kiln, and he thought that I would help him buy a warehouse or something in the city, maybe he could put some eyeliner in the future......" Han Qian said quietly.

Han Qian didn't tell the truth completely, but he didn't think about hiding Feng Yi completely.

Although Feng Yi is not doing his job, he is not blind.

Unless Han Qian no longer has contact with Feng Yi, otherwise he will have to do so many things in the future, how can he hide it from Feng Yi?

Hearing Han Qian say this, Feng Yi's eyes lit up, and he lowered his voice and asked, "Can I send Lao Kong to something?" ”

Han Qian intentionally or unintentionally instilled the truth of betting on both sides with them during this time, and Feng Yi thought it was very true when he heard it.

Even if Feng Yi was working for the third prince Yang Yuanpu, he was only nineteen years old at this time, and there were only seven or eight servants around him, compared to the entire Feng family, it was still a little insignificant, and it was far from enough to represent the Feng family.

As long as the attitude of the Feng family does not change, and even leans towards the Anning Palace and the prince, in the future, the Anning Palace and the crown prince will win over the Feng family, and they will not care about the Feng family's flaws and kill them all.

What's more, Feng Yi has also been in and out of Taowuji many times during this time, and saw that the Longque Army Cantonment Mansion, which he had no hope at all, had become a scale in just four or five months, and saw that the third prince Yang Yuanpu was not without a chance to succeed, and then thought that he was doing things for the third prince at this time, and the future benefits may be immeasurable, and his mind was a little hotter.

In addition, in the past three or four months, the third prince Yang Yuanpu has no difficulty as a strongman, Feng Yi and Kong Xirong mainly helped Han Qian, and sold the lime from the villa to the counties through Feng and Kong's two warehouses, not only did they not suffer from it, but they also got one or two million dollars for them to squander.

In the Feng family and the Kong family, the father and brother and others saw that they no longer did not learn and did not do their jobs, and they no longer scolded and scolded at every turn, this feeling was something they couldn't feel before, and they also wanted to ask for more things to do at this time.

Han Qian smiled in his heart, pulled Feng Yi out, and said, "Let's go, let's find a place to drink tea." His Highness has entrusted me to do these things, and I can't do so much by myself......"
