When he entered the city, it was late, and he heard that Han Sheng lived in Luoshui Inn, Zhang Yue first asked the shopkeeper for a private room and a table of wine and food, sat in the room and waited, and asked the soldiers to call someone. After a while, Han Sheng and Li Deliang came in together to greet them.

"Your own family, you're welcome, drink tea first!" Before the sprinkling of vegetables came up, Zhang Yue got up to greet him and poured a cup of tea for each of them.

"We also just stored the goods in the manor, and we were about to wash up for dinner, and we didn't want Yuanzhen to rush back so soon!" Han Sheng said with a smile.

"Huh...... Is that! How is the industry in Tangzhou? Didn't you buy any workshops, did you? Zhang Yue looked at Li Deliang with a smile, he hadn't seen him for half a year, this guy's skin had turned white, and he had just turned forty years old and began to get fat, and he had grown a small belly.

Li Deliang bowed to him, thought for a while and said seriously: "After Inspector Han came, he added a weaving workshop, which can weave silk, linen and arrowroot. The income of the grange is average, but the restaurant is operating well, making a lot of money, investing in the weaving workshop, and bringing some money south to Yuezhou to He Ju, buying hundreds of acres of land to plant Ganshu, of course, the restaurant over there is also running well. ”

"Not bad! What is the total surplus? Did you bring the cash? "As soon as several big projects were launched, the money was spent like water, and half of the money in the treasury had been gone.

"I brought 10,000 guan in cash, plus the 10,000 guan of goods this time, and 5,000 guan was sent back to Tokyo at the beginning of the year, and 40,000 guan was also received in the south this year." Li Deliang is very clear about the accounts, and what he says is the Tao.

"How's He Ju? He's okay, right? "Zhang Yue in Yuezhou is a little worried, it is too far away, if He Ju uses some crooked brains, he won't know for a while.

Han Sheng smiled dumbly and said, "Hehe...... If there is something good at the top, it will be very good at the bottom! After you left, He Ju took two concubines, and his small life was very moist, if I hadn't found two people from my hometown in Tangzhou to take him south to check the accounts, I can't say that he would have learned badly! Now the two of them are in charge of the restaurant, the other is in charge of the accounts, and the money is under the supervision of Yang Shouzhen, so it should be fine. ”

"Hah! Sure enough, if you are rich, you will learn badly! This kid will be greedy for money, and when there is a suitable candidate, transfer him back! Zhang Yue said angrily.

Han Sheng continued: "These are your private affairs, the situation in Hunan is still unstable, the generals under Liu Yan in Langzhou have colluded with Wang Jinkui in Tanzhou, at the end of May, the generals made a disturbance, complaining that Liu Yan sent down the military food and grass is not enough, and a commander led people to run to Wang Jinkui. In order to avoid the situation from worsening, at my suggestion, Liu Tao, the assassin of Yuezhou, came forward to mediate, and the matter was calmed down. But the matter was not over, and then it went back and forth. ”

"What's the situation? Didn't fight, did you? Yuezhou can't be lost! Zhang Yue asked suspiciously.

"It's really hit!" Han Sheng smiled bitterly and said: "Some people under Liu Yan's command have switched to Wang Jinkui, this kind of thing is really one and two, and in early June, another commander ran to Tanzhou on a warship. The situation in Langzhou was very unstable, so I found Yang Shouzhen, Chen Yingtai and others to discuss, and then made a statement to Liu Tingshi and the medicine group, suggesting that troops be sent to seize Xiangyin and put pressure on Wang Jinkui.

On the eighth day of the first month of June, Yao Chongyu, with Yang Shouzhen and Chen Yingtai as the vanguard, led 4,000 newly trained sailors to take more than 400 large and small warships from Dongting Lake to the south and conquered Xiangyin in one fell swoop. Since then, it has been connected with the newly built Miluo County under Yucao Mountain, and the Changjiang River in the east. It's just that this matter almost fell out, and Wang Jinkui was very angry, but behind us was the Great Zhou court, and Liu Yan also supported it, temporarily suppressing this matter. ”

Zhang Yue laughed when he heard this, and praised: "Haha...... Congratulations! Brother Deyu's strategic vision is getting older and older! In this way, the situation in Hunan should be able to ease up for a while. ”

"I hope so! Yao Chongyu now knows the local situation very well, as long as he is not transferred, then Yuezhou will be safe. ”

As he was talking, the shopkeeper began to serve wine and food, and the three of them reunited after a long absence, chatting and talking until midnight, Zhang Yue didn't go home that night, so he stayed at the inn. The next morning, after having breakfast here, he asked his soldiers to find another small courtyard for Han Sheng to live in the future, and Li Deliang would not stay long before going south, so he continued to stay at the inn.

Now the state government is responsible for the business tax card of Yan and Qingzhou, and Zhang Yue is only in charge of border defense, but he has nothing to do, so he invited Han Sheng to go to the inspection office to see his industrial planning and account books.

As soon as he arrived at the door of the government office, he saw Yiqian running out like a gust of wind, pulling the war horse led by his own soldiers and about to turn over, when he suddenly saw Zhang Yue coming back and standing there again.

"Do you want to go out? What's up? Zhang Yue stepped forward and asked.

"Marshal Suo of Yanzhou sent a fast horse overnight to inform the general to go to the state city to discuss matters, saying that Xuan commanded them and his party to have a big incident in Hexi, and the goods used as a reward to trade war horses were robbed by horse thieves!" Yiqian went to Tokyo and had just returned, but as the deputy commander of the army, his main responsibility was to arrange for the guards to be on duty and run errands.

"I was worried that something would happen to them on the road, so I sent two thousand soldiers to escort them, what horse thieves have such a big force." Zhang Yue subconsciously nagged.

Han Sheng smiled bitterly and said: "This is really a hard life, go and meet Suo Dashuai first, and I will go with you!" ”

Zhang Yue immediately asked Yiqian to go back to the back house to report, and asked Chen Jia to gather a team of horsemen, and Han Sheng and the two of them hurried to the state city. After Suo Wan got the report from the tooth soldiers, he met him in the signing room.

This was also Zhang Yue's public house before, but now there are others sitting behind the first table, Zhang Yue has a strange feeling. After the salute, Suo Wanjin threw over two military newspapers and continued to bury his head in reviewing daily official documents. Zhang Yue first read the express sent by Shuofang Feng Jiye, and then read the letter written by Feng Qianhou to himself, which described the incident in detail.

Xue Juzheng and others stayed overnight all the way, and arrived in Shuofang Lingzhou eight days later, and Shuofang Feng Jiye arranged to receive them. Because of the will of the court, Feng Jiye was appointed as the envoy of the degree and the tax envoy of Wenchi. Zhang Quanxu, Sha Weng and others, who accompanied them, waited here to trade goods, so that they could be exchanged for green salt, white salt, and raw belts of cattle and horses back to the customs.

At the same time, there was also a will to appease Xia Sui and Li Yiyin, but Xue Juzheng did not go in person, and when he passed through Yanzhou Wuyuan, he sent Zhou Qingwei, the commander of the former division of the accompanying palace, to go to Xiazhou to pass the decree, and Li Yiyin was also the secretary of the order. Because of the part of the Yeshi clan in Huizhou, Li Yiyin can exert influence.

There is another force, that is, Hexi Yeguhun Dangxiang, also surnamed Tuoba, they are the descendants of Tuoba Huaiguang's descendant tribe in the late Tang Dynasty and the envoy of the Jiedu of North Tubo Province in the late Tang Dynasty. It is now entrenched in the southern part of Huizhou and is nominally subordinate to Qingtangqiang. The Qingtang Qiang people are nominally subordinate to Tibet, but in fact they are almost independent.

The Yeci clan lived along the Yellow River in the north of Huizhou, and its sphere of influence extended westward to the area of Kipkou and Baishanshu in the eastern part of Liangzhou. To the north, you can go north from the Gobi Desert grassland to the west of Helan Mountain, bypass the Shuofang jurisdiction, and cross the Yellow River to return to Youzhou.
