Ask for collections, ask for recommendations! ――
After the incorporation of the Lanzhou Army, General Zhao and his entourage rested in Lanzhou City that night.
Thanks to the blessing of Master Tang, Lanzhou City, a place where birds don't, is actually relatively prosperous compared to other cities, at least much better than the chaotic Shuozhou, and the small county town of Langu County is incomparable.
There have been no wars for many years, and the main industries of Tangqun are here, the infrastructure of the city is relatively perfect, all walks of life in the 36 lines are prosperous, and the handicraft industry is also on a large scale, and there are basically no idlers such as beggars on the road.
The whole city is clean and tidy, the people on the streets are well-dressed, and the street vendors are set up one by one, selling simple household items and handmade crops. There is also a agricultural market in the center of the city, which is also very lively, and the surrounding snack bars are also next to each other, quite the scene of a small fourth-tier county town in the Republic in later generations.
Compared with the idlers with dull eyes everywhere in Langu County, and the situation that Shuozhou City is full of beggars, thieves and garbage flies everywhere, this Lanzhou City can be regarded as the most vibrant and livable city.
In He Daxian's opinion, although this Tang Qun Thorn Shi is greedy and lustful, and all he thinks about in his mind all day long is how to cheat for personal gain, but in terms of urban construction and management, he still has quite ideas and means.
In order to continue to appease Lord Tang, in addition to Tang Qun's third son Tang Wei being hired as a captain of the Lanzhou Military Academy, He Daxian took a fancy to Tang Qun's eldest son Tang Jun.
Tang Jun is exactly thirty years old this year, originally studied in Luoyang, the eastern capital, and later took the Jinshi examination, and became a small Jiupin clerk in the Ministry of Rites. Fortunately, Tang Qun received the news in time and hurriedly asked someone to rescue him.
At that time, Tang Qun saw that the government in the eastern capital was so chaotic, and he didn't dare to let his son continue to mix in the officialdom of the capital, so he simply returned to Lanzhou to be a school captain.
Tang Jun is a pure scholar and literati, he can't hold a knife steadily, and he can't ride a horse, so it is really a waste of talent to let him become a school captain. I don't know if it's the son inheriting his father's business, this Tang Jun seems to have his own set of ideas about urban construction and internal management, but he is used to being sour literati, and he is also a god who talks about it, his emotional intelligence is very low, and he is not very easy to deal with people.
But when he went to the Tang family's dinner that night, He Daxian casually probed him a few words, but he was unexpectedly shocked.
Nima, this is talent! He is actually a pioneer of capitalist thought!
At this time, it was still a feudal dynasty, and various trends of thought in internal affairs management came and went, nothing more than how to suppress the people, how to educate the people, and how to make various rules.
But in this Tang Jun's mouth, he has been talking about "driven by desire" and "if there are interests, there will be deeds".
He Daxian threw a question to him on the spot: One hundred people, each with a copper plate in his hand, what should I do? Tang Jun actually opened his mouth and came: take it all and give it to one person, this person wants to eat, so he will naturally spend ten copper plates to buy it from another person, so that person buys vegetables and cooks, and earns five copper plates. This man still needs to wear clothes, and he can go to someone to buy them for twenty copper plates
He Daxian was stupid on the spot, has history really changed?
The concept of a market economy, which only began to emerge in the Mediterranean in the sixteenth century, actually came out of the mouth of a sour scholar in this ravine! Is this still the Five Dynasties period?
Well, since you have caught the talent, you can't let it go!
"Brother Tang, my Zhenwu Army is building Zhenwu New City, do you know? I wonder if Brother Tang Jun and Tang are willing to take the lead in helping me build a city? Zhenwu New City has already moved 30,000 Shuozhou people. Brother Tang can come to be a county commander first, and after the city is completed, I will apply to the imperial court for a history of assassination for you. The other people in the court don't know each other, so it's no problem to let Li Zhuanmei and Prime Minister Lu Wenji and Prime Minister Lu come to help. ”
The ready-made population of 30,000 people, the new urban planning and construction, the new urban management settings, and the official position of the assassin!
Tang Jun's long horse face immediately turned red, and his eyes were full of eagerness to turn his head to look at his father Tang Qun.
This temptation is too great, Tang Jun's original wish in this life is to be an official, to be a big official, who knew that the gutter overturned in the capital and couldn't get along, so he extinguished this heart in a gloomy way, who knew that the warlord strongman in front of him, General Zhao Ping, coldly handed over a hat that stabbed history with both hands!
Thirty-year-old thorn history! Book that! Lao Tzu did it!
Tang Jun's red eyes have already explained everything: Dad, if you don't agree, I will immediately sever the father-son relationship and change my surname to Zhao.
Well, this year is not good, the two sons have gone to Zhao Ping, and they are ready to change their surnames at any time, who is Nima recruiting to provoke whom? The Tang family wants the whole family to bet on a warlord who has just emerged?
Despite being full of depression, the old Tang Qun Tang had no choice but to pinch his nose and admit it.
When I woke up the next morning, it was another sunny day.
Taking advantage of the fact that the army still needed time to move, He Daxian took a dozen lackeys and rode all the way to Fangshan County according to the original plan.
The location of Fangshan County, on a small hillside at a three-way intersection, the surrounding mountains are undulating, the terrain is complex, ordinary people passing by here, there will be an inexplicable sense of depression, why Daxian This thousand-year-old demon, where can not be seen.
There were still two miles away, and seeing Fangshan County on the hillside from a distance, He Daxian stopped his war horse, first quietly observed the surrounding terrain and environment, and then slowly walked towards Fangshan County step by step.
When he walked to the bottom of the slope that was still a mile away from the county seat of Fangshan, He Daxian refused to go any further.
This is a "Quartet Demon Array"!
The Zhenwu cavalry behind saw General Zhao Ping and Zhao suddenly stop their horses, looked up for a long time, and then looked down and thought for a long time, thinking that General Zhao was looking for the battlefield where Zhao Sang fought with the Khitans before.
One of the soldiers who had participated in the battle that day hesitated for a moment, then leaned forward and whispered:
"General, that day of the battle, the chariot formation was placed on the red earth one mile ahead."
I saw General Zhao shudder as if he had suddenly woken up, and after being stunned for a second, he smiled and said:
"It's okay, let's rest here for a while."
So he dismounted and went to a small tree beside him, and found a stone and sat down.
Seeing General Zhao sit down, the others discussed a little, and four horses ran a few hundred meters away to be responsible for the surrounding guards, and the others also dismounted and went to stay under another tree next to them.
As I said just now, as soon as He Daxian came, he could see that someone here had set up a "Quartet Demon Array", and the eye of the array was the Zhenwu Mountain behind the thirty-mile mountain group behind Fangshan County.
This Zhenwu Mountain was called Beiwudang Mountain in later generations, there is a large-scale Taoist temple on the top of the mountain, which enshrines the Zhenwu Emperor, is the holy land of the mainstream Quanzhen School of Taoism, and is also the source of the seven sons of Quanzhen Sect written by Jin Yong.
The ancestor of Taoism is Lao Tzu, and it happens that Lao Tzu's surname is Li, so the Tang Dynasty respected Taoism and faintly referred to himself as a Taoist heir. At that time, there were many Taoist temples in various places, and Zhenwu Mountain was also a very famous Taoist holy place in the Tang Dynasty.
It's just that someone borrowed Zhenwu Mountain to make a "Quartet Demon Array" in Fangshan County, what is the purpose?
He Daxian's gossip heart came up, and he wanted to know who was playing tricks here, so he couldn't help but raise his hand and pinch his fingers.
Hey, it's still sealed, that is, it can't be counted!
He Daxian fell to the mortal realm, and his computing power was greatly reduced. But this is only a decrease in the speed of calculation, whether it can be calculated is another matter. With the ability of Jindan Daxian, if you can't calculate it, it means that this person who is in the formation is much more powerful than He Daxian when he was at his best!
At this time, He Daxian didn't dare to move.
However, on the one hand, the heart of gossip has risen, where can it be so easy to extinguish, on the other hand, this Fangshan County will also be under the jurisdiction of the Lanzhou Army in the future, inexplicably someone has made a "Quartet Demon Array" here, where can the dignified He Daxian turn a blind eye!
What to do?
He Daxian is a thousand-year-old thief, with countless adventures, how can he be so easily intimidated? Since the mainstream algorithm can't work, then go off the rails, so change the direction and pinch your fingers, oh, there will be a team of businessmen coming out of Fangshan County later.
Let's catch them and ask them first.
After sitting under the tree for about a cup of tea, a caravan came out, and when they saw cavalry in front of them from a distance, they did not dare to go. A Zhenwu soldier ran over on his own and brought a businessman in the lead.
"I have seen General Zhao, a small Lanzhou businessman Jiang Wu, who walks from Lanzhou to Fangshan on weekdays. I didn't know that the general arrived, and the little one thought it was a horse bandit blocking the way. ”
As soon as he heard that this was the in-laws of the old Tang family, Zhao Ping also pursed the corners of his mouth and smiled.
"It's okay, just ask about something, is there any famous Taoist temple around here?"
"I don't know if it's famous, there is a nameless small Taoist temple in the city, and the incense is still quite prosperous."
"In the city? Is there a Taoist temple on Zhenwu Mountain in the back? ”
"True Martial Mountain? I don't know. ”
This is strange, such a famous Zhenwu Mountain Quanzhen Taoist Temple, the locals don't know? Still enshrine an unknown small Taoist temple in such a small county?
Could it be that Zhenwu Mountain cooperated with the "Quartet Demon Array" to suppress something in the nameless small Taoist temple in Fangshan County?
"So, in the nameless small Taoist temple in Fangshan County, is there any master who is cultivating in the Qing Dynasty?"
"The master doesn't, but there is a yellow-haired Han Taoist priest, who says that the Tao is not bad, and he can help the people in the county to see a doctor."
"Yellow-haired man? Taoist? ”
He Daxian was a little confused.
