Before Dongfang Xin walked out of the door, Chu Huan's voice had already come from behind: "Wait!" ”

Dongfang Xin sneered at the corner of his mouth, and he didn't look back, but said, "I don't know what else the adults have to say?" ”

"Do you mean that if the governor can't get the money, the Pingxi army won't send troops to suppress the bandits." Chu Huan said slowly: "The Pingxi Army reorganized by General Yu is not a righteous army that saves lives from fire and water, but just a group of old soldiers who want to receive settlement expenses?" ”

The corners of Dongfang Xin's eyes twitched slightly, and when he turned his head, he saw Chu Huan's eyes looking at him very sharply, this was the first time he saw this young governor with such a cold gaze, although he was a military general, his heart also jumped, but he still didn't change his face and said: "My lord, these words, in fact, you don't need to say these words to the last general, the officers and soldiers of the fourth battalion are just outside the city, if your lord really can't give them the money to settle down, you can go out of the city and tell them!" ”

Chu Huan got up slowly, put his hands behind his back, and said lightly: "If the governor needs to lecture them, the Pingxi Army will not need the Eastern General!" ”

Dongfang Xin instantly changed color, and said angrily: "What do you mean by this, my lord?" ”

"When the national disaster is at the head, the husband is responsible." Chu Huan said lightly: "Xiguan is in ruins, and you Dongfang General knows this much better than this governor." Whether there is silver in the household department, you know better than this governor, this governor has only heard of soldiers who fought for the country, but he has never heard of the time when the national disaster is at the head, there is no silver, but he sees the bandits in trouble, and he does not move. His eyes were like ice, "General Dongfang, the rules of the Pingxi Army were not set by General Yu, right?" ”

Dongfang Xin immediately said: "This is the mind of the soldiers themselves, and the governor doesn't need to ask the last general, as you said, without silver, it is the last general, and you can't command the three armies!" ”

"In this way, should this governor go to the imperial court, your Dongfang general is unable to command the Pingxi army, and you need the imperial court to send another general?" Chu Huan sat down slowly, staring at Dongfang Xin's eyes: "There are many fierce generals in the court, and there are not a few generals who govern the army, it is not difficult to send a brave general who is proficient in governing the army and fighting!" ”

Dongfang Xin laughed angrily, and said loudly: "If the Governor says so, even if he folds it to the court. I Dongfang Xinrong horse career, that is not scared, the Pingxi Army is a mess, the court is willing to send someone to take over, and the last general is really unwanted. Touching the steel beard, he sneered: "It's just that the last general has to remind your lordship that the Pingxi Army is a brave man, a tiger and a wolf, if the imperial court wants to send a general, it is best to send a person who can be suppressed, if you send an incompetent person, I am afraid it will backfire, and Xiguan is even more uneasy." ”

He had something to say, and Chu Huan couldn't hear the irony, at this time, Dong Shizhen had already gotten up and said: "General Dongfang, Lord Governor, both of them are for the purpose of pacifying the bandits, and the purpose is the same, so there is no need to quarrel." Xiang Chu Huan said: "My lord, it's really not possible, this time the lower officials will come forward and go to the gentry to collect some military ......!" ”

Chu Huan had already looked at Dong Shizhen and asked, "Who did Lord Dong ask for?" ”

"This ...... Naturally, it is the rich merchants of the city. Dong Shizhen hurriedly said: "From other places, it is difficult to recruit anything, and it is already good for the people to be able to eat and eat now, and there is nothing ......to collect from them!" ”

"It's rare that Lord Dong still thinks about the people." Chu Huan said: "It's just that Lord Dong may have forgotten that those gentry are also ordinary people, and they have not long returned to their hometowns to rebuild their homes, and they are in a difficult period, and the government can't help them. Not to mention whether they can afford it, I'm afraid that there will be complaints in their hearts, right? The reconstruction of Xiguan will also rely on their help, and if they are dissatisfied with the government, it will be even more difficult to run errands in the future. ”

Dong Shizhen frowned and said, "But what other way can there be?" It's not that the household department didn't ask the court for silver, and he broke it on his head in three days, but there was no movement in the capital, ......! ”

"Aren't the foreign gentry of Gao Lian well-off?" Chu Huan said: "They are no better than the gentry of Xiguan, the gentry of Xiguan have all suffered the destruction of the Xiliang people, and many of them have already lost their families and suffered heavy losses. Xiliang people did not enter the Beishan and Tianshan Mountains, from those two came a lot of gentry, their vitality was not injured, I heard that only the Gao Lian family, in Yuezhou to buy a house and land, are all generous, that is a first-class rich man, people like him, this time there are not many moved to Xiguan? I heard them say that they want to contribute to the reconstruction of Xiguan, and now the Dongfang generals are short of silver, it is the time for them to contribute, those who can work hard, since they have a lot of money, let them take out more, Lord Dong, what do you think? ”

Dong Shizhen was puzzled: "My lord, the government has always paid attention to fairness, although the family resources of this group of foreign gentry are indeed more substantial, but ...... Now that they have bought a house and land in Xiguan, they have also entered the government, and they are all people from Xiguan, we can't favor one over the other, if so, I am afraid that people will not be convinced, but they will cause trouble ......! ”

Chu Huan leaned back in his chair, looked at Dongfang Xin not far away, and said, "If this is the case, then the governor has no choice but to leave the book and go to the court to urge him to settle down." On the one hand, the bandits are raging and poisoning the people, and on the other hand, the Pingxi army is immovable, and it is necessary to settle down to send troops. ”

Dongfang Xin's eyes flashed a strange look, but he still said: "Since this is the case, then I wish the Governor a success." ”

He didn't say anything more, turned around and went out, Dong Shizhen saw that the atmosphere was embarrassing, so he could only say: "Xiaguan should also go back and think of other ways first, this bandit has to be eliminated!" ”

Dong Shizhen got out of the Governor's Mansion and got into the carriage, only to see that there was already a person sitting in the car, Dong Shizhen was startled, and saw that it was Dongfang Xin who was sitting on it in a big way, so he breathed a sigh of relief and ordered the carriage to leave, Dongfang Xin had already said triumphantly: "Do you see the face of the surname Chu?" He still wants to change Lao Tzu's army? Hahaha, Lao Tzu wants to see if he has that ability. ”

Dong Shizhen said with a smile: "Governor Zhu handed over the Pingxi Army to the general, so he will naturally try his best to keep the general, and the court has to weigh Governor Zhu's intentions." And this Pingxi Army is not something that anyone can live in, the Eastern General is a famous general in the northwest, and now the Pingxi Army is in awe of the general, and no one can sit in that position if someone else comes. Fu Xu said: "Chu Huan is just pretending. ”

"You go find Zhu Aoba." Dongfang said: "Let him let the wind go, just say that the case in Niulan Village was done in the clouds, and he would have wanted to suppress the bandits, but the surnamed Chu pushed back and was reluctant to give up the money, and he was mediocre and ......incompetent!" Seeing Dong Shizhen frowning, he couldn't help but say, "What's wrong?" ”

Dong Shizhen sighed: "I wish Qingye is not good. ”

Dongfang Xin was stunned for a moment, and then said angrily: "Damn, a ruffian hooligan, Lao Tzu can kill him with one finger......!" He frowned and said, "Hasn't he always been very close to you before?" Didn't you say that he was obedient and obedient? ”

"This time I met a master." Dong Shizhen squinted his eyes and said: "Zhu Qingye has been in the rivers and lakes for many years, but he has made friends with a lot of people from three religions and nine streams, I heard that this time Chu Huan came, and he brought a few people with him, and one of his guys was old friends with Zhu Qingye before, and Zhu Qingye was very in awe of this person...... ”

Dongfang Xin understood, "You mean that Zhu Qingye voted under the surname Chu?" ”

"Not yet." Dong Shizhen shook his head and said, "But if you want to use Zhu Qingye to deal with Chu Huan, it's no longer easy to use ......!" ”

"Since it's not easy to use, find a reason to arrest him." Dongfang Xin said angrily: "Or find someone to slaughter this disobedient dog, Lao Tzu hates this kind of person the most." ”

Dong Shizhen said: "It can't be arrested, after Chu Huan knows about it, he can intervene at any time, and weaving charges will not work." If someone kills him...... Zhu Qingye has a lot of people here, and the three sects and nine streams have dealings with him, so if things fail, it will be a little tricky...... This kind of thing, it's best to do it without knowing it, but I wish Aoba Jianghu is very experienced, although he is not a big person, but if he really wants to deal with it, he has to ......think carefully about it! ”

Dongfang Xinyan said with disdain: "You scholars, you are mother-in-law and mother when you do things, it is not so difficult to kill someone, even if it is exposed, what can it be, let others know that if you are an enemy of us, there will be no good end ......!" He waved his hand and said, "That's it, you can figure it out yourself." But you have to keep an eye on the matter of settling in, the surname Chu said that he wanted to find the court to get money, and the court is only looking at the southeast now, and will not think about it. Spread the news of Niulan Village, the people will inevitably be excited, and they will definitely think that the Pingxi Army will send troops, if we don't move the troops, the responsibility will be put on Chu Huan's head, and the court will not allocate money, and in the end he really can't hold it, so he can only find a way from the gentry...... He is a wicked person, let's take the silver, we get the benefits, those gentry will only resent Chu Huan at that time, if everyone shouts and beats, the surname Chu will stay in the northwest for a long time. ”

Dongfang Xin smiled proudly in the carriage, but Chu Huan was also smiling at this time.

Dong Shizhen went out with his front foot, and Du Fugong entered the door with his back foot, and said straight to the point: "Dongfang Xin thinks that he has forced the adult into a predicament, but he doesn't know that he has helped the adult. ”

Chu Huan smiled and said, "What do you mean? ”

"Aren't you thinking about asking the Ministry of Household Affairs to approve the authorization for new salt to enter the customs?" Du Fu said: "In the final analysis, the new salt into the customs has two major benefits, one can solve the salt shortage in the pass, the other can raise money for the reconstruction of Xiguan, now the pass has not yet reached the time of the salt shortage, after all, there is still Tun salt can support, but Xiguan can not support it, the adults can be in the fold to present this matter, then said that the Xiguan bandits are in trouble, the people are panicked all day, the adults have no military power, and the Pingxi Army responsible for suppressing the bandits needs to settle in to send troops...... The household department is destitute, and the adults can explain the situation in Xiguan as serious as possible in the excerpt, and they must ask the court for money and food ...... the excerpt! ”

Chu Huan motioned for Du Fugong to sit down and said, "I am looking for the imperial court to ask for money and grain, and the imperial court will definitely not be able to take it out, but I can't ignore the bad situation in the northwest, in this case, as long as Xiguan can think of a way to raise money to suppress the bandits, the imperial court will definitely support it, and if there is any way, I don't think the imperial court will care too much......!" ”

"Exactly!" Du Fugong said with a smile: "In the tragedy of Niulan Village, Dongfang Xin asked for a settlement fee, which can only help the adults to put pressure on the imperial court, and if Scholar Xu has this reason, it will be easier to help the adults get the authorization to enter the customs with new salt." ”

"Dongfang Xin dared to do this, it was nothing more than that he felt that his position was as stable as Mount Tai, he thought that he had Zhu Lingyue's support behind him, and the Pingxi Army was vigorously installed by him to eliminate dissidents, and no one could suppress him except him." Chu Huan touched his chin and said: "Let's present this excerpt, the best result is, of course, that the imperial court sends another general, but with Zhu Lingyue's strong protection, and at present, Dongfang Xin can indeed suppress the Pingxi Army, the imperial court now only seeks peace in the northwest, and it should not be able to dismiss Dongfang Xin, but as long as the imperial court does not dismiss Dongfang Xin, then it can only allocate silver to suppress bandits, and the imperial court can't take out the silver, so it can only support Xiguan to use other methods to raise silver two ......!" With a smile, he said to Du Fu: "Mr. has a wonderful pen and flowers, this excerpt, please also ask Mr. to wave ink!" ”
