Chen Youfu and Luo Jingyun gathered at the New Deal Dam to sharpen their knives against the bandits. And a cadre in the province, early in the morning, gathered outside the governor's yamen to stand on duty, and then arranged according to the grade, riding a sedan chair, riding a horse, from the north gate of Chengdu to meet the land of ten miles.

The citizens of Chengdu, who have always been eager for all kinds of excitement, don't know what is happening, so they have to secretly inquire about it: it turned out that it was the Qin sent by the imperial court.

Liao Daheng naturally walked in the head. Although his rank is not as high as that of the three divisions, he is a governor, has the title of Qincha, and carries the banner of the king's order, which has always been the best place to do on this occasion. INSTEAD OF RIDING IN A SEDAN CHAIR, LIAO TYCOON RODE A WAR HORSE AND WALKED WITH YU JIE, A PRIEST OF THE CEREMONIAL TEMPLE WHO STOOD IN FRONT OF HIM. The two of them were Jinshi in the same year, and when Liao Daheng was the head of the military department, Yu Jie was the head of the Ministry of Rites.

“…… It's dangerous! Fortunately, it was late that day, and the prince and the second prince didn't have time to take it, otherwise the Shu clan would be extinct! Liao Tycoon couldn't help but shake his head when he said the past, looking frightened.

"This is a blessing in misfortune!" Yu Jie nodded and whispered, "The Son of Heaven is furious and scolds King Fushun for being as good as beasts!" threw the jade cup on the spot and hit a palace person. Blood Splattered Five Steps! Fortunately, the little prince comforted him in time, so he didn't pull out his sword and cut people! ”

"...... the Son of Heaven actually drew his sword?" Liao Tycoon's arm unconsciously leaned against the hilt of the three-foot sword.

"That's not it! When the Son of Heaven unsheaths his sword, he will see blood. Blood, war plague! It's not an auspicious sign! Seeing that the governor of a province was attracted by his topic, Yu Jie suddenly came to his senses and talked more about the secret of the DPRK and China.

"When we left Beijing more than a month ago, the military department received a secret report from the horse. Fu Zonglong and Yang Wenyue led the Qin army and the Sichuan soldiers to follow the thieves, first chasing from Henan to Huguang, and then from Huguang back to Henan. Now that the thieves and the Cao thieves are in a joint venture, their power has risen sharply, and several directors of the military department said that Fu Zonglong and Yang Wenyue are chasing the enemy for thousands of miles, and if they don't get it right, they will suffer losses!

The thieves are also circling in Henan, and Zuo Liangyu always refuses to die under the pretext of insufficient food, and stops fighting. Not only that, but he also hit a nail rake and sued several magistrates who did not provide food. In order to appease him, the emperor had to punish a few unlucky eggs! Huguang has been plagued by military disasters in recent years, where is there any surplus food for the left locusts to eat! Now Huguang's officialdom simply hates Zuo Ping's thief, and he is embarrassed everywhere, making it difficult for him to move an inch!

In addition to the giant thief, Henan Guide, Bo (BO) Prefecture, Kaizhou (now Puyang City, Henan) and the big thief Yuan Shizhong, known as the 'Little Yuan Camp'. Shandong has a thief Li Qingshan. Coupled with the five battalions of the Revolution and the Left on the border of Huguang and Anwei, the provinces of the Central Plains are now full of wars and thieves. I've heard that even scholars have thieves......"

"How is Hong Chengchou fighting outside the gate?" Liao Daheng took the opportunity to inquire about the war outside the Guan. Recently, Shi Si, the governor of the Shu Prince's Mansion, has repeatedly sent people to inquire about the war in Liaodong. After being in contact with Zhu Pingjin for a long time, Liao Daheng gradually discovered that the young prince was the master of the Three Treasures Hall for nothing. He doesn't focus on something for no reason. Now that he's starting to pay attention, it's probably a big deal.

"Hong Chengchou won a small victory in July and offered thirty-six Jianyu heads. He was more careful when he won, taking the time of Matsuyama and Tashan and the Tartars. Hong Chengchou can afford it, but Jinzhou and the imperial court can't afford it! According to the news from the Ministry of War, there is no grain, grass, firewood and grass in Jinzhou, and Zu Dashou has begun to eat the dead alive! The military rations transferred by Tianjin Wei were piled up in Bijia Mountain by the Liaohai Sea. Liao Gong, think about it, how much food do you have to eat every day for more than 100,000 soldiers and horses? How much food can the imperial court provide? Hong Chengchou's approach did not consume the Tartar to death, but first consumed Zu Dashou and the household department to death! ”

"The group of people in the military department don't care? Isn't Chen Xinjia (Note 1) known as a soldier? ”

"Chen Xinjia sent Zhang Ruoqi to supervise the battle, urging Hong Chengchou to enter the army for a decisive battle." When Yu Jie said this, he added in a low voice, "I estimate that Zhang Ruoqi is most likely carrying the emperor's secret decree!" ”

"Zhang Ruoqi? I know this man. Huang Daozhou impeached Yang Sichang, and he impeached Huang Daozhou. The emperor protected Yang Sichang, and as soon as he was happy, he was promoted from the magistrate to the official of Beijing! Suddenly, Liao Daheng glared at Yu Jie, "Brother Yu knows that Liu Xun and this Zhang Ruoqi are sons and daughters!" ”

Oh? Yu Jie immediately understood what Liao Daheng meant. Governors and governors are born enemies. He is close to Liao Daheng, that is, the political opponents of Liu Zhibo and Zhang Ruoqi.

"Then after Xue Guoguan was arrested in the Beijing Division, there was no movement?" Xue Guoguan was the first assistant in the past, and he was also the person Zhu Pingjin used to care about, so Liao Daheng couldn't help but ask by the way.

"I guess he's not doing well. Zhou Yanru's minion Wu Changshi jumped up and down, pulling people everywhere to impeach Xue Guoguan for corruption. Xue Ben is Wen Tiren's person, he hated Donglin, and Donglin's people all helped Wu Changshi build momentum. In addition, he offended the factory guards and relatives, and no one dared to speak for him. Liao Gong, the ending of Xue Guoguan has been decided, and it is just a matter of dying early and dying late. It's a pity that Xue Guoguan is ignorant in the edict prison, and he is still writing words between flowers...... Beauty is like this, long sleeves are good at dancing......"

Yu Jie hummed a melodious Kun tune, but Liao Daheng didn't pick up.

"Xue Guoguan is down, that is Zhou Yanru and Donglin's party on the throne! It's not good for you or me! Liao Daheng said in a low tone, "Don't look at Wu Changshi, who is now your subordinate." Maybe when you return to Beijing, he will be your boss! ”

"C fuck X!" Yu Jie was so angry that he scolded the country, "The things of the world are bad in the hands of these self-righteous Donglin!" ”

"It's too much fire and hurts the body." Liao Daheng smiled slightly, and began to inquire about the people he cared about the most: "How is the emperor doing?" ”

"Son of Heaven? The Son of Heaven is still like that, reading the excerpts for seven or eight hours every day. It's a pity that the ministers are not energetic, and those who say goodbye to the old, those who are sick, and those who are worried will line up to play! The emperor simply did not approve it, and all of them won the favor! ”

When Yu Jie said this, his eyes rolled and said: "Listen to the little eunuch in the palace, the Son of Heaven has had a serious illness recently, and he has been in the court for more than ten days. The hospital looked at the Holy Communion and said that the Son of Heaven's heart was too hot and the corners of his mouth were rotten, so he entered a prescription and asked the Son of Heaven to drink Sydney white fungus soup often to suppress the fire in his heart! ”

"Really?" Xiao Jiujiu in Yu Jie's heart, Liao Daheng understood very well, but his face pretended to be surprised, "Did the emperor use the soap in the palace last time in Sichuan?" What does it say? ”

"You know Duke Liao, incense, fan, these things the emperor has never liked! The little eunuch of the Qianqing Palace secretly spread the word, saying that the emperor used soap, left without speaking, and did not use it again in the future, which is equivalent to being indispensable. However, Zhou Hou (Note 2) did not comply, and pulled Zhang Hou (Note 3) to admonish the court, asking the emperor to focus on Sheji and wash it every day. ”

"The emperor's eldest sister-in-law has spoken, and the emperor can't do it if he doesn't follow it." Liao Daheng smiled dirtyly, and the emperor's appearance of taking a bath appeared in his mind, "What about Tian Guifei (Note 4), do you like it?" ”

"I just heard that Concubine Tian didn't like it, and she thought it smelled of caustic soda herbs, so the emperor didn't say anything and let Sichuan continue to pay tribute!" Yu Jie said hatefully: "There are very few that flow out of the palace!" A pound of soap in Jingshi has been fried to ten taels of gold! At the beginning of July, the emperor invited Zhang Yingjing, a real person, to do it at the meeting, why? The people who died of the plague in Beijing were day and night, and the whole city mourned (Note 5)! Damn, princes, ministers, relatives, nobles, which one is not a person? Who the fuck isn't afraid of the plague coming in the door! Zhou Hou and Zhang Hou are also afraid! ”

Liao Daheng looked annoyed: "I knew that the price would rise to this level, I should have asked the prince to give me more." "A provincial governor, I can't pull my face for a few pieces of soap."

"Duke Liao is embarrassed to ask for it, then the next official will be shameless!" In front of Liao Daheng, Yu Jie rolled up his sleeves as he spoke.

"Ten taels of gold, that's a hundred taels of silver! This time, we came all the way to do a funeral for his father, and there was no credit and hard work! He is rich in the world, and he is sensible and wants to express it! ”

It seems that this time Yu Jie entered Sichuan, and he did come with the mentality of grabbing money. Soap is required, and white fungus is also required.

Unlike soap, the white fungus is a real rarity, and it can only be found in Daba Mountain, north of the Tongjiang River. Pick up one or two white fungus, let alone kill three people! Now that Tongjiang is occupied by local tyrants, the ear pickers dare not enter the mountains at all, and the supply of goods has long been cut off here in Chengdu, where is there white fungus!

As long as it can be solved with silver, it is not a difficult task! The news that Master Zhao came back from the Shu Palace, said.

"Well, as long as you can do things for us, we will stone you to death with silver!" Liao Daheng muttered in his heart.

"Brother Yu, you and I are old friends in Beijing, and this official will not hide it from you!" The afterglow of Liao Tycoon's eyes swept both sides, and when he saw that no one was paying attention, he whispered mysteriously: "I don't need you and me to come to the door to speak!" This prince of the Shu domain, although he is young, is different from other vassal kings. ”

"Liao Gong, go on." Yu Jie said urgently.

"Rich, sensible! It's also very sensible! Liao Tycoon said and smiled, "Brother Yu came out this time and made a lot of money!" ”

"Really?" Yu Jie suddenly smiled.

Liao Tycoon said conclusively: "That's not it! How about you and me make a small bet? Brother Yu came out this time, if this number is missing, the official will make it up for you with his private pocket! After speaking, Liao Daheng grabbed the reins of the horse and quietly popped out a finger. The finger is white and tender, but in the eyes of the slasher, it is a golden finger that turns stones into gold.

"A thousand taels of silver! Five thousand miles back and forth, it's worth the trip! Yu Jie nodded slightly.

"What a thousand taels!" Liao Daheng's contemptuous gaze swept over Jie Zhou's body, "A thousand catties!" A thousand pounds of soap! ”

Oh! Yu Jie's mouth was round.

"The son of the world will be rewarded for his merits, and he will be thanked for his hard work! Brother Yu is the person who handles the funeral ceremony, and he has merit and merit, who does he not reward Brother Yu? Do you want to tie up with that fast old man Huang? As for the brothers of the Marquis of Wuqing and Jinyiwei, the prince must have said something else! Everyone has taken it, who will talk nonsense? Brother Yu doesn't need to worry......"

1,000 pounds of soap, I have to find a car to load it. If it is safely transported to Jingshi, ten taels of silver and one catty, it will also be sold for ten thousand taels of silver. Yu Jie thought about it, saliva flowed out, but he was suddenly a little embarrassed, mixed with a trace of residual worry: "The credit of the lower official is not big, the funeral is the official position, the prince is rewarded, those crows in the court know, and your Liu Zhibo ......"

"It's okay, heaven has a gift, we are good officials to take it, it's better to be respectful! We in Sichuan, based on the western region, are mixed with barbarians; The news is closed, the people are fierce, and the rules of the Beijing division are rigid! ”

Yu Jie is trying to refute Liao Daheng, this Chengdu is the land of abundance, extremely rich, how can there be anything like the extreme edge of the west. Suddenly, many years of life in the sea made him react, and he hurriedly said: "What Liao Gong said is extremely true! It's so wild and remote, and the rules are naturally different. Liao Gong is the country and the border, and the credit is in the community! Hate those Donglin ......"

"It's really good!" Liao Daheng praised Yu Jie in his heart, and then put aside his distracting thoughts and began to listen attentively to Yu Jie's various secrets about the political scene in Beijing. The point, both the speaker and the listener, of course, have to do with Sichuan and Liao Tycoon himself.
