Sun Yanshou is nearly forty years old, since the end of the Later Jin Dynasty Kaiyun served as the Qianzhou Assassin under the jurisdiction of the Yongxing Military Government, and he is also a very old seniority, but he has not been promoted for nearly ten years, until the battle of Qin Feng in the second year of Xiande, in order to support Zhang Jianxiong to take the merit of Qinzhou, he moved his nest and was promoted to the history of the Jiezhou Assassin, and officially entered the court's sight.

Of course, this is also Zhang Yue's recommendation, otherwise, with the habit of the commanders in this year's festival to report their merits, it doesn't matter if there is a history of military assassination in the military state of the DPRK, and it is normal for the military exploits to be reported to others by greed.
After that, he took Hehuang and built a festival with merit, of course Sun Yanshou knew that there was a relationship with Zhang Yue, so in a sense, he was also a member of Zhang Yue's power group. Speaking of Xuan Chongwen's qualifications are shallower than Zong Jingcheng, but he is both civil and military, known for his advance and retreat, and his prestige is relatively high, and he has faintly become the head of the four towns of Hehuang and the chief general under Zhang Yue.
Zhang Yue left Jingzhou and handed over the most elite troops and the most secret and important things to Lanzhou, so as soon as Xuan Chongwen replied, Sun Yanshou and Zong Jingcheng hurried to Lanzhou.
The north and southeast of Lanzhou are high, the two banks of the Yellow River in the middle are a basin, the state governs the golden city is located on the south bank of the Yellow River, nearly a year of governance, the city has been repaired, the city gate has a new look, replaced with a heavy vermilion lacquer copper nail gate.
It was in the afternoon, on the outskirts of the city to greet Zhou Delin, he is a scholar of Jingzhou Academy, Ming Law and Science, and then experienced in Jingzhou and Huizhou, and is currently the judge of Lanzhou Jianwei Festival, and is currently accompanying Sun Yanshou and Zong Jingcheng into the city.
"Lanzhou looks like it's recovering well! There are villages on the outskirts of the city, and there are few Tibetan people, and there seem to be more shops in the city! Sun Yanshou said with some emotion.
Zhou Delin smiled and said: "Most of the people living in the suburbs and villages are the families of the town soldiers, and the Qiang tribe in Lanzhou is no less than that in Shanzhou, Qinghai, but now some of them have moved to the northwest of Gaolan County, and some have moved to the valleys and mountains on both sides of the Qingshui River in the southeast, so as not to make them nomadic everywhere. Now it's good, the Qiang grazing has decreased, the prefecture and county have sent people to teach them to farm, and the land near the prefecture and several counties has been vacated for farming, and the harvest this autumn is good, and the winter wheat will be sown soon, but unfortunately this season is uncertain and the army will be used, alas......"
"The use of soldiers is not necessarily a bad thing, it will not slow down the operation of the state and county, as long as it fights well, in addition to rewarding and provoking soldiers, there can also be income subsidies to the government office." Zong Jingcheng has been the deputy envoy of the Huizhou League for several years, and he has actually participated in the civil affairs of the state, and now he is also the assassin of Shanzhou, and he is becoming more and more proficient in governing the people's livelihood, and of course he knows the importance of foreign money and grain income to the state and county.
"But as soon as the army is mobilized, it needs grain and grass, and the government has no surplus, and Huizhou has transferred nearly 100,000 stone grain to us to resettle the population, and I am afraid that there is not much grain in stock." Zhou Delin was very worried, although it was still a matter of eight words, but as a judge of the festival, he had to take precautions.
"Hey...... What are you anxious about? Although our lord is in Tokyo, how could he not have thought of this problem. Zong Jingcheng said with a smile.
Zhou Delin smiled bitterly, he knew that the court was preparing for the southern expedition, and the grain stored in the Yongxing Military Mansion had been transferred, and a bucket of corn in Guanxi was originally two hundred and fifty yuan, but now it has risen to four hundred yuan; The price of wheat has also risen to 600 yuan, which is about to double, and I really can't think of any large reserves of grain. The cattle and sheep in the hands of the Qiang tribe can be collected, but there will not be many.
"When it comes to food, you can borrow barley, cattle and sheep from Haixi monk Lin Zhangun, and you can also think of a way to Ganzhou in the north." Sun Yanshou deserves to be a handsome, but he quickly thought of a way, but he had to implement it early.
"Huh? What a thing! Zhou Delin said happily, at this time, he was about to arrive at the city government, he hurriedly walked a few steps forward to lead the way, and explained with a smile: "The front door of the government is being repaired, and the two of them are aggrieved and go to the west gate, and the entourage is settled by them." ”
The corridor on the side door leads straight to the atrium, Zhou Delin led the two of them through the lobby without entering, but brought them to the courtyard of the back entrance, Sun Yanshou and Zong Jingcheng followed in, and saw Xuan Chongwen with a beard and a big beard standing on the steps in front of the door to greet him, and he was half a step behind Gongzhou Shi Deyuan and Taozhou Liu Xinfa, but like the two of them, they were all dressed in regular clothes.
After all, it is illegal for the local festival marshal to leave the jurisdiction to gather without permission, although it is not on the surface, but everyone still has to cover it up more or less, and the fanfare is too much to take the court seriously.
"You have worked hard from afar, please come with me to the court to discuss the matter, and leave early after the discussion!" Xuan Chongwen arched his hand, and smiled sideways.
Several people showed understanding on their faces, and followed Xuan Chongwen to the signing room on the back side of the hall to sit down, and the soldiers came in to serve tea, and when they exited, they took the door and guarded the outside. After Xuan Chongwen turned to the desk case, he picked up a bunch of keys to open the cabinet against the wall, took out a stack of official documents and put them on the desk, and then turned around and sat down.
"All of you here are not outsiders, we can have the status of controlling Hehuang today, it depends on the recommendation of the lord, you see that the battle of Huainan has been fought for two years, and countless grains and grass have been spent, not that the forbidden army cannot fight, but that there are many factions of generals, and it is too difficult for such a dull mechanism to play its full strength. Now, the emperor is preparing for the southern expedition, Xia Sui and Li Yiyin
However, he has secretly corresponded with the envoys of the Liao State, and since the beginning of autumn, he has become more frequent, and he is ready to move, so we can't help but make some preparations. This was sent by the Lingzhou and Yanzhou branches in Guanbei, take a look. ”
After Xuan Chongwen finished speaking, he picked up a few pamphlets on the table and handed them to Zhou Delin, who was sitting at the back, and he forwarded them. Among the few people present, Sun Yanshou was considered the elder, so he read it first and transferred it to the next Liu Xinfa.
There are more than a dozen copies of the intelligence booklet, which have been in the hands since June, and finally returned to Zong Jingcheng's hands, he is not as low-key as Sun Yanshou, Shi Deyuan and others, and directly whispered: "On July 15, Li Yiyin sent his nephew Li Guangyan to lead a caravan to Taiyuan through Shizhou, and then envoy to Datong Mansion, the purpose of which is unknown...... On the 10th day of August, the Suizhou Xifeng family sent people to Yanzhou to sell horses and buy grain, but they were refused, and a large number of groceries were exchanged for a large number of groceries, including a large number of iron tools, which were seized by Shi Yunlei, the Yanzhou patrol inspector at the border......"
Zong Jingcheng quickly finished reading it, handed the book back to Zhou Delin, and Xuan Chongwen said: "You must have seen that Li Yiyin is preparing for war, and he will definitely not be able to exchange iron and armor from Ling and Yan Zhuzhou, but Taiyuan and Liao can not only send envoys, but also bring back Liao envoys and a large number of soldiers, his heart can be punished!" ”
"Did you report any of this to Tokyo?" Shi Deyuan is not like the person who came out of the Zhenyuan Army, the word "lord" is always a little unspeakable, but his meaning is obvious.
Xuan Chongwen nodded and said: "Of course, I didn't pay attention to it, I didn't want the lord to send instructions from Tokyo, and Wen Fan confessed the key news!" Therefore, we must store grain and prepare for war, the two towns of Jianwei and Huaixin must be ready to send troops, and Huaide and Xining cannot be moved lightly. Next, let's refer to the budget in detail, the target of Li Yiyin's collusion with the Liao State, and the amount of logistics required by our army. (To be continued.) )
