Chapter 121: Idle

The time was a little early, and the maid of the public mansion brought breakfast with a food box. Breakfast is very rich, each person has a bowl of gruel boiled with japonica rice, a plate of pickles, a stack of salted meat, and a soft fried glutinous rice dumpling, so treated, even the doormen of large families do not have this treatment every day, it can be seen that the family background of Guangxin Mansion is quite solid.

After breakfast, Bai Liyan (Wei Xian) waited for Guangxin Gong to summon him, but until noon, no one came to pass the word, and Chen Yunfeng disappeared without a trace, completely leaving him in the West Chamber.

Until after noon, a brocade servant in the West Chamber, thirty-five or sixteen years old, with a beard on his face and a scar on the outside of his left eye, was very vicious.

"Your Excellency is Mr. Wei." The servant had a thick voice, gave a slight salute, and stared at Bailiyan.

"Down there is Wei Xian, who is Your Excellency?"

"In Xia Wang Jiu, I was ordered by the lord to send a message to Mr. Wei. The lord has been busy with all things recently, and he can't take the time to summon Mr., so he specially ordered the inner government to prepare a waist card and hand it over to Mr. Sir keep it away carefully, and don't lose it. The gentleman's accommodation has been arranged, and he is asked to move to the other courtyard. ”

Bai Liyan took a waist card, the paint had dried, obviously it was not made temporarily last night, it should have been a few days ago.

"There's Brother Lao." Bailiyan bowed slightly and asked, "I don't know where Mr. Chen is, can I ask you to meet." ”

"The lord has been appointed by another office, and Mr. Chen has left the house."

"Oh......" Bai Liyan replied lightly, realizing that he was most likely being hung in the West Chamber by Guangxin Gong.

The courtyard rearranged by Guangxin Gong is outside the public mansion, and it is obvious that this is the purpose of giving himself a waist card. If Jiang Min trusted himself, he should have arranged to live in the mansion, and now he directly kicked himself out and didn't summon him, most likely because he didn't trust himself.

Under Wang Jiu's arrangement, he moved out of the mansion, and the newly purchased courtyard was located in the downtown area in the east of the city, with many buildings in the market, and there were many elegant places such as brothels and music houses, and the small courtyard was less than two miles away from the mansion.

Then Wang Jiu ordered someone to move the accompanying person into another courtyard, and brought a horse to tie it to the stable:

"Mr. Wei lives here with peace of mind for the time being, and if the lord is summoned, he will come to tell him in the next meeting. This is the strength of the lord's feet for the gentleman, and there is some strength left in the horse to walk. ”

"There is the ninth brother of King Lao, please thank Guangxin Gonggong on behalf of Wei."

"Mr. Wei, don't be busy thanking you first, Mr. first came to Guangxin City, the lord considered that Mr. was inconvenient for his livelihood, and he specially paid one hundred copper coins for Mr. Tong, and every month Mr. Wei can receive one stone of polished rice from the inner government for expenses."

As he spoke, Wang Jiu ordered the servant to bring a wooden box, which contained a hundred copper coins. Bailiyan hurriedly said thank you, and couldn't help but feel that Guangxin Gong was quite stingy.

Guangxin Gong is also a prince and nobleman, although a hundred yuan is not a small amount, but it can be paid with a hundred inches of silver, why bother. What's more, he is not short of money, there are thirty-five pieces of gold, a small piece of gold, fifty-seven pieces of silver, and hundreds of copper coins.

Bai Liyan didn't refuse, and took the copper coin and thanked him.

After Wang Jiu and the others left, Liu Zao picked up a flat shoulder and a bucket and was about to go out:

"Mr. Wei, the draft in the courtyard is inconvenient, I'll go pick up two buckets of water."

"Slow down." Bailiyuan stopped Liu Zao, stepped forward and said: "When I came, the white, red, and black glazes that I talked about on the road, Uncle Liu can be sure. ”

"Red glaze and black glaze are not difficult, but this pure white glaze is very difficult to adjust. Xianguo does not produce white porcelain, so there is very little white glaze. And if the pure white color is heavy, it will become beige, and if it is light, it will be very ugly as hanging white pulp. It will take time to bring out the thick white color. ”

"Okay, go get busy, let me think about it."

"Eh......"

Not long after Liu Zao went out, Xiao Er was clamoring to go shopping:

"Brother Wei, the flower street on the road is beautiful when I come, Xiao Er wants to go and see it."

"Well, people who just settled down don't want to see us, just take a look."

Bailiyan pondered at this time, Guangxin Gong Jiang Min deliberately hung himself, whether he couldn't trust Zhao Xun, couldn't believe himself, or had another deep meaning. Chen Yunfeng, as Jiang Min's senior staff, did he see any clues.

At dusk that day, in the study room of the inner house of the Guangxin Mansion, Jiang Min held a fast letter from Ding Yangcheng in his hand, and the payment was made by the eldest son Jiang Qian.

"Lord, is everything going well with the son?" Chen Yunfeng asked.

"Qian'er acts according to the plan, and everything goes well. The day after tomorrow, there will be five thousand stone ships carrying cloth, leather, silk, pine oil, candles, and some valuable medicinal herbs to arrive at the Guanling ferry. ”

"Why, there are only five thousand-stone ships." Chen Yunfeng was surprised, and then said, "Can the son say anything else?" ”

"Hmm." Jiang Min's face was slightly gloomy, he put the letter on the case, left the seat and stood up and said behind him: "The territory of the Marquis of Dingyang began to hoard goods many days ago, although it is not much, but the text of "Pushing the Business Tax" arrived in Dingyang City six days ago, and some profiteers took advantage of the situation to hide, so that Qian'er was a step late. ”

Bai Liyan's strategy of "replacing government with business" on the same day was to take advantage of the turmoil of the New Deal, when the price was not high, he bought and hoarded easy-to-sell products on the market, and waited until the price skyrocketed to exchange them for gold, silver and copper coins, so as to earn the price difference.

Jiang Min and Chen Yunfeng discussed it and felt that it was feasible, so he sent someone to deliver a letter in advance, so that his eldest son Jiang Qian took the lead in purchasing materials in Guangxin and the surrounding territories.

At this time, Jiang Min's face softened slightly, and he asked Chen Yunfeng again:

"How is Wei Xian's arrangement?"

"He was acting according to the plan of the lord, and the inner government gave him a hundred yuan. However, I thought that the lord did not have to snub and test Wei Xian, after all, Wei Xian was still needed to make suggestions for the matter of replacing politics with business. The sooner you plan, the better it will be for your lord. ”

Jiang Min was silent for a moment, his eyes swept left and right on Chen Yunfeng's face, and continued:

"I have my own opinions on this matter, and when the new deal is corrupted, I will have my own place to use him, so you can step back and call Wang Jiu to see me."

"No!"

Chen Yunfeng exited the study, and when he was young, Wang Jiu pushed the door in:

"What is the Lord calling me?"

"Wang Jiu, you are the one who leads the troops, do you think Wei Xian is worthy of a big responsibility?"

Wang Jiu grinned and said disdainfully:

"Lord, this son is only a weak crown year, so he is afraid that it will be difficult for him to achieve great things."

Jiang Min glanced at Wang Jiu, and his face suddenly became serious:

"The lonely person in the city of Chenling once had a long talk with Zhao Xun, Zhao Xun spoke highly of this person, why do you think this son is embarrassed, why is this."

"Back to the lord. But all generals are crawling out of the pile of dead people, how can there be a reason to worship generals and be commanders. How can a stinky child be up to the task. ”

"Yes......" Jiang Min sighed wistfully.

Recalling what Zhao Xun said that day, Jiang Min couldn't help but feel incredible.

At that time, a weak-crowned young man who was only sixteen years old was able to strategize thousands of miles away, and defeated Han He in Jiangdong four times.

After a few days, Jiang Min still had no intention of summoning Bailiyan and let him wander around the city. About five days later, Bailiyan rode out of Guangxin City and headed east to Lincheng to the east.

To the west of Guangxin City is Pucheng, to the east is Lincheng, and to the south is Dingyang City. Ding Yang City has been sealed to Ding Yang Hou Zhang Jun, Pucheng because of the serious salinity of the land, agriculture is relatively backward. Although Lincheng and its dependent territories are located in the plains, due to the undulating hills, the population is sparse and the population is only 30,000 or 40,000, which is far less than the two cities of Dingyang and Guangxin.

The four cities of Pucheng, Lincheng, Dingyang and Guangxin were all under the jurisdiction of Beihai County in the early years, and Suhai City to the east of Lincheng and Maoqiu City to the south were all under the jurisdiction of Beihai County.

At the same time that Bailiyan stayed in Guangxin, a quick letter flew directly to Pingtang, the capital of the Jin Kingdom, and the king of Jin summoned Chen Fangshi to the prime minister at night, and the political envoy Fan Tao entered the palace and negotiated with the two overnight on the letter from Xihuan. At first glance, when he heard that Bailiyan was Wei Xian, Fan Tao couldn't help but be taken aback:

"King, will Her Royal Highness the princess be mistaken, after all, what the princess said in the letter is only sixty percent sure, if Wei Xian is really Bailiyan, this matter is very bad."

"Xihuan's mind is quick, how can the widow's own daughter not know. Xihuan said that he was a hundred miles of swallows, and nine times out of ten he was a hundred miles of swallows. ”

"This ......"

Fan Tao was not wrong for a while, and he didn't know what to say, at this time Xiangguo Chen Fangshi said:

"The king, the old minister thinks that Wei Xian can't be Bailiyan."

"How can Xiangguo see it?" King Jin asked.

"There are three reasons for this. First, although Bailiyan and Wei Xian know medical skills, Bailiyan does not know the art of war. Second, Bailiyan had no way of knowing about the military affairs, and how to make plans to control the three armies, let alone how to win Zhao Xun's trust. Third, Princess Xihuan married Xianguo, Bailiyan knew that the Jin Kingdom would not let him go, why was she committed to Xianguo, wouldn't it be self-defeating. ”

"Well, what Sangkook said makes sense." King Jin affirmed Chen Fangshi, and then asked Fan Tao: "Fan Qing, what do you think?" ”

Fan Tao's face was embarrassed, to be honest, he was not very sure, but what Chen Fangshi said was not unreasonable, Bailiyan knew that he had thrown himself into the net, and he could kill himself?

Moreover, after Bailiyan fled, the Proton Mansion was sealed, and no books related to military books and strategies were found in the mansion.

In Fan Tao's opinion, there is no innate commander in this world, let alone a sixteen-year-old foreign boy, how can he gain Zhao Xun's trust, and he is entrusted with important tasks to obey his words. There are too many illogical anomalies that Fan Tao is difficult to understand.

After thinking for a moment, Fan Tao said:

"The king, the minister thinks that he should send a familiar cronie to Xianguo to find out, and if it is certain, he should cut down the grass and eradicate the roots to avoid leaving future troubles."

"Fan Qing is worried about Guangxin Gong Jiang Min? I can't think of Wei Xian too much. ”

King Jin disagreed, and Fan Tao admonished:

"Your Majesty, Jiang Min, the Duke of Guangxin, has had different ambitions for a long time, and now he has Wei Xian's help, given time, it is difficult to guarantee that Jiang Min will not replace him. Moreover, it is rumored that Jiang Min and Zhiguo are secretly in contact, and this time Zhiguo Chen Bing's border has not moved, not to catch the wind. Regardless of whether Wei Xian and Bai Liyan are the same person, in short, this person must not stay. ”

At this time, Chen Fangshi objected and said:

"Your Majesty, it's not a bad thing for Guangxin Gong to recruit Wei Xian. Guangxin City is located on the coast of the North Sea, separated from the Changsun Country by the sea, if the Xianguo regenerates civil strife, Guangxin City will be attacked by my Jin Kingdom and the eldest grandson on all sides, Jiang Min has no possibility of success.

Even if Wei Xian uses it, he can only help him to bring about his own destruction. Instead of killing it, it is better to raise a tiger and then drive the wolf. Wouldn't it be better to sweep away Guangxin and occupy the land of Guangxin. ”

"Oh no, my lord!"

Fan Tao strongly objected, and King Jin's face was unhappy at this time, and his heart was already inclined to Chen Fangshi's strategy. King Jin muttered:

"What Chen Xiang said is very unpopular. Fan Qing, don't forget, what happened to Fengyangjun back then made the widow regret it to this day. If Wei Xian hadn't been for Bailiyan, wouldn't have missed the opportunity to kill him. ”

"King, no matter whether Wei Xian is Bailiyan or not, both of them are Qi people, and Qi people must be guarded against. At that time, the uncle Xiangguo said that he could not leave Bailiyan in the world. Now Wei Xianzhi's ability is far above Baili Yan, if he raises a tiger at this time, I am afraid that there will be endless troubles in the future. ”

The King of Jin learned that the secret of the Xianguo had been married to the Xianguo for half a year, and the King of Jin was always worried about this.

If it weren't for Fan Tao's design to trade Fengyangjun Jiang He's head, Xihuan would not have been able to marry the pseudo-prince. At this time, when it was mentioned to extinguish Baili Yan, King Jin was really a little annoyed. In the end, Chen Fangshi's strategy was adopted, and he quickly ordered people to go to Xianguo to find out Wei Xian's details.
