Chapter 331 [Upper Valley]
Chapter 331 [Upper Valley]
The season entered the early winter, perhaps because of the low air pressure, it was evening after entering Shanggu City, and the cooking smoke shrouded the city, and only half of the smoke was choking when he took a breath, which made Zhao Kuo cough several times, and after getting out of the car, he lifted the curtain and said, "Lisna, let's go in quickly." The smoke is just too big. ”
Strange to say, when Lisina got out of the car, it turned out to be windy, and the north wind in early winter had already shown signs of coldness, and the cool air was overwhelming.
"I don't want to go into the house, look how big the moon is. Let's stay outside for a while. Isn't there no smoke now? Lisina looked at Zhao Kuo with big shining eyes and asked Zhao Kuo's opinion.
This courtyard is a property of the Xiao family in Shanggu, although the area is not large, but the layout highlights the ingenuity, brick by brick is unique, Zhao Kuo took out a cotton cloak to drape Lisina so that she would not catch a cold.
Lisina felt the coolness of the night breeze, swept away the unhappiness stuffed in the car, gently relaxed her chest and breathed the quiet air of the night, Zhao Kuo stood by Lisina's side, motionless.
"What a good moonshine. Can this moonlight wash everything white, can it make the blood on the battlefield less shed, Zhao Kuo, do you think my father and brothers can escape home alive," Lisna said as she looked at the cold moonlight.
Zhao Kuo was not surprised to hear Lisna's words, what they saw along the way was enough for Lisina to know something, Zhao Kuo put his arm around Lisina's shoulders and said, "It should be, they won't be on the front line in person, and they will definitely have a chance to escape when they are defeated." ”
Two lines of tears slipped from Lisna's eyes, and her voice was a little choked: "My father loves me the most, but I left him, if I never see them again in this life, I am really sad......"
Zhao Kuo wiped away Lisina's tears and said: "Believe me, if they are still alive, I will compensate them, speaking of which, they are too ambitious, and they even think about the southern invasion, this time can be regarded as a lesson." Wouldn't it be nice to live a good life? Even if I don't get a stumbling block, they won't get any favor. ”
Zhao Kuo remembered that in history, the Linhu and Xiongnu were also repulsed by the Zhao army when they went south, but it took a long time and caused great losses to the people in the border areas of Zhao.
Although Lisina is smart, when it comes to this kind of problem that has risen to a certain height, she doesn't bother to think about it, she leaned close to Zhao Kuo and said, "I believe in you, won't you abandon me, why can't the Hu people live a good life with the Zhao people and the Yan people, why do you want to fight to the death?"
"Don't worry, I won't abandon you." Zhao Kuo didn't know how to answer Lisina's remaining questions, since ancient times, the contradictions between nomads and farming people are difficult to reconcile, and it is basically impossible for the two sides to coexist peacefully.
"This city is where my father used to live for a long time, tomorrow we will go around to have a look, and also feel the folk customs of Yan Kingdom." Zhao Kuo saw that the wind was getting stronger and stronger, and hugged Lisina back to the room to rest, and he could only slowly sort out Lisna's complicated mood.
In the palace of the county guard of the upper valley, the dancing girl of the swallow people was also very famous at that time, and the pleasing dance fascinated the watch, and the sound of silk and bamboo wind music made people's hearts flutter.
"Childe, these dancing girls are the treasures of my town, can Childe see it," Shanggu County Shou Jia Gu looked at Ji Wei, the prince of Yan Kingdom, who was sitting at the top, with a sycophant face, and said: "If you can't see it, there are still a few shoots in the back house......"
Ji Wei withdrew his misty eyes, looked at Jia Gu, and said, "Lord County Guard, aren't you openly bribing me." We need to distinguish between public and private. Tomorrow we will inspect the treasury, and we still have to be serious. ”
A trace of unhappiness flashed on Jia Gu's face, and he said with a smile: "Since Gongzi mentioned official business, Xia Guan has to tell the truth, when Zhao Hao served as the county guard of the valley a few years ago, it can be said that Shanggu County was the most prosperous time, and since Zhao Hao left, this Shanggu County has not been good." Either suffered from this disaster or that disaster, the disaster in the first two years made Shanggu County less than one-third, Gongzi wanted to urge grain and grass, Xia Guan was really powerless, and I hope Gongzi will see clearly. "Let's watch the first release of the literary network, please support genuine reading, support the author's creation, your one light click, warm my whole code word life."
Ji Wei took a breath and said, "Lord County Guard, my son also knows the difficulties in various places, especially Shanggu County, which has been affected by disasters year after year, but now that he has to use troops against the Hu people, this grain and grass can only be transferred from Shanggu County." If you escort grain and grass from Yuyang Jicheng and other places, I think the county guard understands the difficulties better than me, now is a very good time, the Hu people were defeated by the Zhao army, and the Yan army will definitely be able to get a lot of benefits when they send troops at this time, I already have a way to urge the grain and grass, and it depends on whether the county guard can do it. ”
Jia Gu sighed and said, "Please ask Gongzi to solve the doubts for this official." ”
Ji Wei smiled and said: "Shanggu County is indeed poor, and the poor Ben Gongzi is unwilling to take this errand, but as far as Ben Gongzi knows, there is no shortage of huge rich families in this Shanggu area, Shanggu's dramatists, and the Xiao family in Wuyang are all among them, and there are countless hoarding grains, as long as they are willing to give a little blood, won't the grain and grass of this army be solved." ”
Jia Gu listened to Ji Wei's words, smiled bitterly, and said: "Childe, it is true that the dramatists in Shanggu and the Xiao family in Wuyang are both extremely rich, but the foundation of these two families is too deep, not to mention that I, the county guard, even if Gongzi goes in person, I am afraid that I will not be able to get much grain and grass." ”
Of course, Ji Wei knew that these two super-rich families had a lot of influence in Yan State, and if his son offended these two families, he was afraid that there would be no good fruit to eat, Ji Wei smiled and said: "The county guard is wrong, this son didn't say robbery." We can set up a note in black and white and borrow. ”
Jia Gu felt that his nostrils were a little stuffy, took two breaths, and said, "Childe, what should we borrow, these two families are the masters who don't see rabbits and don't scatter eagles, and it's difficult to pick money from them." ”
Ji Wei said with a smile: "Ten horses for a stone of grain and grass, I don't believe they don't do it, I have already inquired, the Hu people lost very badly this time, but the Zhao army did not continue to pursue, as long as our Yan country sent troops, the harvest must be very large, it is not hard to get a hundred thousand horses, hundreds of thousands of cattle and sheep......"
Jia Gu suddenly felt a little cold on the back of his neck, and asked, "Childe, is it the king's decision to send troops this time?"
Ji Wei's face changed, and he said: "Why, do you dare to suspect that this son's correction of the king's destiny will not be successful, this matter will be sent to you, you can handle it for me within three days, understand?"
Jia Gu nodded yes, and after answering Ji Wei correctly, he took the opportunity to return to his room, and wrote a letter to the related households of Jicheng, if this time it was Gongzi Wei's order to correct the king's order, it would be good-looking, he didn't want to get involved in the whirlpool of the princes' struggle for power, he didn't want to lose his net worth, and he wanted to keep it for the elderly.
