Standing on the deck, looking at Yang Lian's distant back, Fu Jinzhan frowned unconsciously, she didn't have a good impression of Liu Yanzhen. It has nothing to do with being robbed by him at the beginning, but because of the days when she was in the Chuzhou Assassin's Mansion, she knew some things, Liu Yanzhen is a greedy person, and she is fierce, and she makes friends with him, but you have to think about it, otherwise if you are not careful, you will be swallowed by Liu Yanzhen.

Lin Renzhao was on the side, seeing Fu Jinzhan's thoughtful expression, and thought that she missed Yang Lian, so he smiled and said, "Miss Fu, Commander Yang is going to the banquet and will be back soon." ”

"Liu Yanzhen is not worth intersecting." Fu Jinzhan said.

Lin Renzhao glanced at Fu Jinzhan in some surprise and said, "What is Miss Fu thinking about?" ”

"What does General Lin think the concubine is thinking?" Fu Jinzhan turned his head and glanced at Lin Renzhao with a smile.

Lin Renzhao's heart suddenly, lowered his head, and recited "Amitabha" a few times in a row before he raised his head and said, "I thought ......" After saying half a sentence, he suddenly felt that something was wrong, so he stopped talking.

Fu Jinzhan seemed to see through him, but he didn't ask, but turned around and looked ahead again, Yang Lian, Liu Yanzhen and the others had disappeared from sight. Fu Jinzhan took a deep breath, and had already made up his mind in his heart, he must comfort and comfort Yang Lian when he has the opportunity, and he must not have too deep a relationship with this person.

Yang Lian didn't know what Fu Jinzhan thought, and when the group arrived at the Assassin's Mansion, Liu Yanzhen had already prepared a banquet. This time the banquet must be the same as the last time, there are not many people, only the uncles and nephews of the Liu family, and only Yang Lian and Chen Tie.

This meal was very enjoyable, there was no lack of praise during the banquet, Yang Lian didn't care, naturally he was with Liu Yanzhen and wronged the snake, chatting with him nonsense, after three rounds of wine, and five flavors of food, Liu Zheng found an excuse and retreated with Chen Tie, and only Yang Lian and Liu Yanzhen were left in the banquet.

Yang Lian seemed to have drunk too much, and he looked drunk and hazy, but only he knew that he was not drunk.

"Brother Yang, this time you have successfully returned, and my brother will toast you again." Liu Yanzhen said that he had drunk a lot of alcohol, but he was still very sober.

"Drink!" Yang Lian seemed to command to say this, and drank the wine as soon as he picked it up.

The two drank for a while, and Liu Yanzhen asked people to withdraw the banquet, held Yang Lian's hand, and said with a smile: "Brother Yang, go, go out for a walk." ”

Yang Lian staggered to his feet and said, "Okay." ”

The two walked out of the house, the breeze in the yard was slow, walking in the breeze, both of them shook their heads, and seemed to be much more awake, at this time the moon had risen, the two of them paced in the yard for a while, Yang Lian didn't speak for a while, he was waiting for Liu Yanzhen to speak.

After waiting for a while, Liu Yanzhen finally couldn't hold it back, and said: "Brother Yang, you also know that you are a Beijing official, and I am just a martial artist who goes down to the frontier, as the saying goes, there are people in Beijing who are easy to do, I am thinking, if Brother Yang can help in Beijing, when will I be transferred back to Beijing, or in other places, it is better than in this place." “

Yang Lian glanced at him and said with a smile: "General Liu is the pillar of the country, the two states of Hai and Chu, and they are important towns, if there is no general, I am afraid it will ......."

Liu Yanzhen laughed and said: "Brother Yang Liao praised, I want the land of the Tang Dynasty to be thousands of miles, and there are many talented people, such as Brother Yang, who has made great contributions at a young age, which is really terrifying." ”

Yang Lian glanced at Liu Yanzhen lightly and said, "General Liu has thought about it, is it really not in Chuzhou?" ”

"I've figured it out." Liu Yanzhen replied very simply.

Yang Lian thought for a while and said, "Since General Liu really doesn't want to stay here, why don't you make an excerpt, over there in the capital, I will also try to do activities, what do you think?" ”

Liu Yanzhen was overjoyed, saluted Yang Lian, and said, "Thank you, Brother Yang!" ”

It seemed that because Yang Lian agreed to his request, Liu Yanzhen seemed very excited, and chatted with Yang Lian for a while, and then separated. It was getting late, Liu Yanzhen asked his subordinates to clean the room, and Yang Lian rested in the Thorn Mansion.

Yang Lian slept beautifully, got up early the next morning, rushed to the dock, Liu Yanzhen naturally sent each other in person, and when she arrived at the dock, the two seemed to have a thousand words, and they chatted for a while, and Yang Lian boarded the ship.

Liu Yanzhen sent an army of 500 men to escort the boats south along the canal and go straight to Jinling.

Watching the ship sail away, Liu Zheng said in a low voice: "Uncle, did Yang Lian agree?" ”

"Yes, it's done." Liu Yanzhen said.

Liu Zheng frowned and said, "Uncle, my nephew is a little confused. In these Chu and Hai states, my uncle is the biggest king, why did he want to transfer out of this place? ”

Liu Yanzhen said in a low voice: "In the past few years, I have stayed in these two places, and I have made a lot of money, and now that the north is under the Han Dynasty, it should be calm down in the past few years, and the Tang Dynasty and the Han Dynasty have formed an alliance, and in a short period of time, there will be no war between Hai and Chu Prefectures, what I am worried about is that what I am doing in Chu Prefecture is already known to Your Majesty." He didn't want to punish me because he thought there was still a strong enemy in the north. But now that the alliance has been signed, there is no strong enemy in the north, I am afraid that it will ......"

Liu Zheng sneered and said, "However, does Your Majesty really think that a paper covenant can bind the Han Kingdom?" ”

"I don't think so, I'm afraid Yang Lian also thinks it won't, but Your Majesty thinks it will, that's enough." Liu Yanzhen said, shook her head, and said: "Moreover, there is one thing I have already gotten the news of, if it is true, I am afraid that Your Majesty will settle the account after the autumn!" ”

"What's the matter?" Liu Zheng was very curious.

"A few days ago, you also know what happened in the imperial court. Since that incident, Song Ge Lao has become a thorn in His Majesty's side, and I am afraid that in the next few days, Song Ge Lao will be impeached. If he really arrived, the last backer would have fallen. Liu Yanzhen sighed, Song Qiqiu is the founding father of the Tang Dynasty, but his desire to control is too strong, and he is so happy, he doesn't deal with some people in the court, and it is a matter of time before he fails. Liu Yanzhen was also very helpless.

Liu Zheng pursed his lips and said, "Even if Song Ge is old, why does my uncle take a fancy to Yang Lian?" He's so young, I'm afraid he can't take on the responsibility. ”

Liu Yanzhen said with a smile: "Although Yang Lian is young, behind him is the King of Qi. What is the identity of King Qi? If you have a good relationship with Yang Lian, it is almost equivalent to having a good relationship with King Qi, and in the future, you won't be fragrant and spicy? ”

Liu Zheng suddenly realized and said: "Uncle is really far-sighted, and my nephew admires it." ”

Liu Yanzhen laughed, and the two spoke for a while, Yang Lian's ship had disappeared from sight, and said, "Let's go, go back!" ”

The two got on their horses, took their subordinates, and galloped towards Chuzhou.

On the boat, Yang Lian was thinking about the problem, and Liu Yanzhen's request was a little strange, which made Yang Lian scratch his head. Liu Yanzhen has been operating in Hai and Chu for many years, and her strength is not bad. This person has encircled a lot of land in the rich lands of Hai and Chu Prefectures, and has amazing wealth, but why should he give up this huge benefit? Although after leaving, the land and manors in these two places still belong to him, but in this case, many things are restricted, and once the son of heaven and a courtier, if the two states of Hai and Chu change the history of assassination, he will have to pay homage, after all, the county officials are not as good as the current management.

Yang Lian thought for a while, but didn't find an answer, so he stopped thinking about it. Fu Jinzhan walked over slowly, bowed down, and said, "Young Master Yang." ”

"Miss Fu." Yang Lian also responded, glanced at her, and said with a smile: "You look at the banks of the canal, there is already green grass and a hundred flowers blooming, and when you arrive in the south of the Yangtze River, there are more beautiful scenery, Miss Fu has to have a good time." ”

Fu Jinzhan nodded and asked in a low voice: "Young Master Yang, the concubine has a presumptuous remark, I don't know if I should say it?" ”

Yang Lian asked, "What are you saying, Miss Fu just say it." ”

Fu Jinzhan nodded and said, "Originally, this is a man's business, and women shouldn't take care of it, but the concubine feels that Liu Yanzhen is not a good person, if you have a relationship with him, Yang Gongzi should be careful." ”

Yang Lian was a little inexplicably moved in his heart, after all, Fu Jinzhan was really concerned about him, so he said: "What Miss Fu said is very true, I look at Liu Yanzhen, this person is exaggerated, and this person is very greedy, this time to make friends with me, the first is to have His Majesty's holy decree, and the second is to ask me." ”

Fu Jinzhan said strangely: "Liu Yanzhen has a request for Yang Gongzi? ”

Yang Lian said: "Then Liu Yanqing doesn't know why, he suddenly wants to leave Hai and Chuzhou, and asks me to help him." ”

Fu Jinzhan Mei's eyes flashed, and she said: "This is strange, Hai and Chu are Liu Yanzhen's lair, he is actually willing to leave, isn't something wrong?" ”

"I'm afraid this matter will only be revealed after a while." Yang Lian said.

Fu Jinzhan suddenly smiled and said, "Then will Yang Gongzi help?" ”

"Although Liu Yanzhen is not a good person, if he can be transferred, I think it is a good thing. Under his governance, although the defense facilities of Hai and Chu are good, the people are not making a living, and in the future, when the Han Kingdom goes south, I am afraid that the people will rebel, but I think it is a good thing to transfer him. Yang Lian replied.

"If he is transferred, Yang Gongzi has not considered it, who will serve?" Fu Jinzhan said again.

Yang Lian shook his head and said, "This matter is Your Majesty's decision. ”

"Although Your Majesty can decide, there are many things that can be fought for." Fu Jinzhan smiled.

Yang Lian was slightly stunned and said, "Ah, Miss Fu, what do you mean?" ”

"Yes, that's what the concubine means." Fu replied.

Yang Lian pondered, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he said, "This proposal is not bad. Hai and Chu are connected to Xuzhou, and if I enter this place, I will inevitably cooperate with the envoys of Wuning Jiedu to eliminate the bandits in the two places and actively develop production. In the area of Chuzhou, there are Hongze Lake, canals, Huaishui, and most of them are plain areas, once developed, they can produce enough grain. ”

"And from the first line of Haizhou and Yancheng, it is an important Huai salt production area of Datang, if you control Hai and Chu Prefectures, most of these salt farms are in Hai and Chu Prefectures." The more Yang Lian spoke, the more excited he became.

Fu Jinzhan glanced at Yang Lian and said with a smile: "The imperial court naturally has a salt court to deal with salt affairs, where is your turn to intervene." ”

Yang Lian immediately reacted, since ancient times, salt has been an important material, mostly official camps, thinking that the Huang Chao that turned the Tang Dynasty upside down is a guy who sells illicit salt. Trafficking in illicit salt is punishable by being beheaded, which shows how serious a crime it is to sell illicit salt.

Today's Datang mainly has two salt-producing areas, one is the Jinghai Courtyard, located at the mouth of the Yangtze River, because the high tide is often here, the land salinization is very serious, so specially set up officials to manage, but these officials obviously have no way to the high tide, the land is not improved, the grain output is not high, mainly salt production.

The other place is Haizhou, Yancheng, and Rugao, all of which are seaside areas, and to the south they are close to the Jinghai Courtyard, but they are divided into two salt farms, which is thought to be caused by some interests. After all, in Datang, salt is also a government business, and the profits are huge, if it is controlled by a certain party, the benefits are great, and other parties will inevitably complain.

Yang Lian didn't quite understand this, and after thinking about it, he felt that after returning to Jinling, he would find someone to ask for clarification.

Fu Jinzhan saw that Yang Lian didn't speak, so he said: "Although it is managed by the Yanyan Academy, it is man-made, and there is always a way to think about it." ”

Yang Lian nodded and said with a smile: "Yes, when I return to Jinling, I will deal with this matter, at least find a way to meddle in the salt matter." "In today's world, the rapid accumulation of funds is nothing more than salt, iron, and other yellow gambling, which are incomparable.

Fu Jinzhan said: "The concubine thinks that when necessary, she can let her father help." ”

"What do you mean?" Yang Lian asked.

"Yang Gongzi, if the price of salt in Hai and Chu is high, it must be difficult for the people to eat salt, if so, the people must be complaining, if you take the opportunity to write a book to seize the right to operate the official salt, it would be the best." Fu Jinzhan paid attention to it, so he said.

Yang Lian smiled slightly, glanced at her, and said, "This is a good idea, how did Miss Fu come up with it?" ”

"It's just a casual thing." Fu Jinzhan smiled.

"This can probably be the case, but we still need to think about it slowly, and when we return to Jinling, we will first try to gain control of the two states of Hai and Chu." Yang Lian said.

"May Yang Gongzi's wishes come true!" Fu Jinzhan said seriously, bowing slightly.

Yang Lian smiled: "I didn't expect that this time I went north and actually picked up a treasure." ”

"What treasure?" Fu asked curiously.

"It's you, if I can get your help, I think I will get twice the result with half the effort." Yang Lian said.

Fu Jinzhan raised his head and said with a smile: "In this case, you have to be kind to your concubine." ”

"This is natural, I said it, and I will never live up to it." Yang Lian said with a smile.

"But you've never thought about your pink acquaintances? For example, Zeng Yiling, and that Mi girl, and maybe even others. Fu Jinzhan said, his eyes flashing, and he looked at Yang Lian with a smile.

Saying this, Yang Lian suddenly remembered the Zhang Qili who had been missing for a long time, is she still in Jinling now? But no matter how he looked for it, he couldn't find it, and for a while, Yang Lian fell into deep thought.

Fu Jinzhan pursed her lips, a little unhappy in her heart, but she didn't show it, but said in a low voice: "Since ancient times, it is normal for a man to have three wives and four concubines, but with a new person, don't forget the old one." ”

Yang Lian came back to her senses, grabbed her hand, and said with a smile: "You will always come first in my heart." ”

When Fu Jinzhan heard this, he couldn't help but smile, like a flower blooming in midsummer, beautiful. (To be continued.) )
