"Your Excellency knows about this man?" Na Tuozhi looked at him and said, "I heard that this person has just taken office and was a bachelor before. ”

"I don't know it, but I've heard of it." Eldest Sun Hong's face was solemn and he narrowed his eyes: "Has someone from the Jia family come to investigate?" ”

"Here, it's still on the other side of the Dadu River." Na Tuozhi said in a deep voice: "But we didn't see who did it, they are a group of outsiders, and it is even more difficult to gain anything." ”

Changsun Hong put his hand on the table beside him, tapped the table with his index fingertips, stared at the square bricks on the ground, thought about it, his fingertips paused, and said categorically: "The Dadu River belongs to the Yechuan Department, and it is also a barbarian department, I have some dealings with their Tusi, I will write a letter immediately, you send someone to bring it over, and ask them to report this matter to the Criminal Department. ”

Na Tuozhi frowned: "Even so, it is difficult to clear our suspicions, after all, we have made a big move recently, and we have just monopolized salt profits, and this case happened, and it is difficult to stay out of it." ”

"That's right, but there's nothing we can do but make a gesture." Changsun Hong touched his chin: "It takes time to investigate the case, the guy who killed the person is so quick, I'm afraid it is also a group of tricky people, it is likely that people from the north are mixed in, even if it is found out, no one will believe it if it can't catch anyone, this pot, most of us are determined!" ”

"Behind the pot?" Na Tuozhi was stunned: "Why do you want to take the blame?" ”

As an ancient, of course, he didn't understand the meaning of carrying the black cauldron.

"Uh...... It means to suffer a dumb loss. Eldest Sun Hong waved his hand, perfunctory, and said: "That's it, it's okay to offend the Jia family, they can't afford to make a big storm now, I will write to Li Gui immediately, and ask him to instruct the people of the dark ghost to find out who did it." ”

Speaking of dark ghosts, he remembered something again, and said to Na Tuozhi: "Duan Wu is in Dali, and he has trained three thousand new soldiers, all of whom have never seen blood, and they are all handed over to you. ”

Na Tuozhi's eyes lit up, and he said excitedly: "Don't worry, Ghost King, leave it to me, if you don't refine them into Shimen Fan Dragon Pattern Steel, my Na Tuozhi will be the general with the troops in vain." ”

In the layout of Changsun Hong, Dali is a huge rear, the money earned outside will continue to enter the past, and the tea inside will be transported out smoothly, food, people, resources, are consciously at the mercy of the inside, Sichuan displaced people who fled into Dali, will be properly resettled, to give land, to help build houses, in order to let them settle down, increase the population of Dali.

And the increase in population, in addition to the growth of the labor force, also brings the growth of good soldiers.

Cao Cao trained the Qingzhou soldiers from the Qingzhou Yellow Turban, Yue Fei trained the Yuejia army from the south, and Qi Jiguang trained the powerful Qijia army in Yiwu.

The soldiers in the areas where the people are strong and the fleeing refugees can endure hardships, and the brave and good at fighting and bearing hardships and standing hard work are the two only conditions for strong soldiers in the era of cold weapons, which are now possessed by Dali.

Therefore, Duan Wu was in Dali, serving as the chief manager of Dali, and his main task was to train recruits for the Shimen Fan Barbarian Army, and after the training was completed, he would send them to Changsun Hong for training in actual combat.

If you want to expand the army, you must expand the army, Changsun Hong has been thinking about this matter, the Shimen Fan barbarian army is now full of more than 8,000 people, including 2,000 ghost soldiers, aside from the ghost pawns piled out of silver, the number of personnel in the army is too small.

However, this is also because of the previous restrictions on the total population of Shimenfan, the population of Shimenfan is only 100,000 small, and it is not easy to make up 8,000 soldiers who can fight.

Sending Na Tuozhi away, Changsun Hong stayed alone for a while, quietly thought about some things, and then slowly walked out and accompanied Ran Daqi to eat.

……

The surging Dadu River originates from the Animaqing Mountains in Qinghai, meanders all the way down along the side of the steep Hengduan Mountain, after the name change of the big and small Jinchuan, it flows into the Minjiang River in the Leshan area, the whole river basin is like a slide in general, from high to low, the mountains on both sides of the river are steep after entering the river, they are all straight up and down the cliff and steep wall, the river channel is more canyonal, it is known for its characteristics such as long, dangerous, narrow, deep and male.

From the Dadu River to the west, through the territory of the Yechuan tribe that lives on the edge of western Sichuan, and through the inaccessible snow-capped highlands among the mountains, it is the territory of Tubo.

In the Sui and Tang dynasties, when the Tubo king was strong, there were often Tubo soldiers who came to the banks of the Dadu River, and harassed the Sichuan border after crossing the river. Successive Sichuan rulers often had a headache over this.

This situation lasted until the fifth generation, when Buddhism rose in Tibet, educating the Tibetan people, and after the most accomplished Zanpu Song Dezan, the Yellow Religion gradually infiltrated the political circles, and slowly overturned and even deprived the rights of the king of Tibet. Coupled with the internal strife of the royal family, many princes competed for the position of Zampu, and Tibet gradually weakened, and by the Song Dynasty, it had been divided into several independent kingdoms with a combination of politics and religion ruled by the four secret religious sects.

The once powerful state of Tibet has declined, but the number of camels dying of illness is large, and the Tibetans and territories in the hands of the four major sects are still very considerable.

During the reign of Chunyu of the Great Song Dynasty, it was the fourth king of the Sakya sect, the largest of the four major sects, who ruled the vast land west of the Nogawa tribe.

His town, in the Houzang Sakya Monastery, is thousands of miles away from the Dadu River.

As the so-called whip is beyond the reach of the whip, the Tibetan region is declining, and the control of this area has also become lax, or ignored. Some people from outside, staying here, naturally no one knows.

Among the misty mountains, the blue sky and white clouds, and the white snow covered the earth, and it was peaceful, but it was broken by a rude noise.

By a babbling stream, a group of men of all shapes and armor gathered here, picking up the snow from the ground, picking up pine branches from the woods, and shouting loudly while barbecuing fat lamb on the bonfire.

These men were fierce-looking, ungood-looking, with weapons scattered around them, eating gravy and dripping water, all of them like wicked people, covered in dirt, with long beards.

More than a dozen people who looked a little cleaner, sitting in the middle, leaning on the bonfire to ward off the cold, drinking the salivating barley wine of others, and cutting mutton with knives, were the heads of this group.

Several trembling women wandered around, adding wine and cutting meat to them, with panicked faces, and from time to time they were touched and pinched by men with lewd faces, but they did not dare to cry out, only to endure silently.

A big man in the center, tall and strong, with a square face and big ears, a body of tendon flesh is only draped in a thin single coat, but he is not afraid of the biting wind on the cold plateau meadow, and a black hair on his chest is eye-catchingly exposed, and the portrait of a woman with a shovel in one hand and a hoe in the other hand tattooed on the neck is extremely clear.

If Changsun Hong is here, he can recognize it at a glance, this is the statue of the well god enshrined by the Jing God Gang.

And this strong man is Jin Rucheng, the leader of the Jingshen Gang.
