Bian Ji followed Xuan Chongwen into the city, and saw that the streets were spacious and clean, and there were many more houses behind the shade of the trees on both sides, as well as some leather shops and restaurants opened by the Qiang people. In the alley www.biquge.info the pen "Fun" pavilion, there are still merchants carrying burdens and selling some food and gadgets, and a group of children are drooling and chasing after them, wanting but not being able to.

"It's really changed...... Not much worse than Guanzhong! Bian Ji said with some sighs.

"That's it! How to say that it is also a regimental training state, but it has received 60,000 or 70,000 people, plus the tribes of Dang Jinwu and Liang Benji are attached, which is tens of thousands. But then again, a state's population of less than 200,000 is still too small, at least five or six hundred thousand. Xuan Chongwen said.

"It is said that the mine is on the side of Huiningguan, I have to go and have a look, I wonder if our firm can contract it?" Bian Ji is here for this, of course, you have to understand it first.

"Hah! Then you have to talk to Wonzhen! The focus of our construction is not in the south, but on both sides of the north of the state from Ulan County to Weirushui, more than half of the immigrants are settled in the north, Zhongwei is going to set up a county, and there is also a river pool, these two places have only built a military fort at present, if the city is built, you can follow this project. Xuan Chongwen said with a smile.

"Those can be handed over to Liu Xiansheng, he can't always stay in Yanzhou." Bian Ji was not interested in building a city.

The two went all the way to the state office, but saw Zong Jingcheng coming from the north street with several personal soldiers, and he was followed by a Fan man, but it was Shen Jingang.

"Huh? How did you get south? Something? Xuan Chongwen looked at Shen Jingang and asked in surprise.

Zong Jingcheng nodded, handed over the war horse to the entourage of personal soldiers, and took Shen Jingang to the state office. Bian Ji followed Xuan Chongwen and then went in, and the state government was deserted, except for the guards and servants who guarded the door, there were only a few green-robed officials on duty in the official rooms on both sides.

Bypassed the lobby to the back of the assassin's office, Zhang Yue is the post of the governor of the remote state, he is not here all the year round, the one who sits in the office is Xuan Chongwen, the deputy envoy of the regimental training, and his family members have also taken it over, and they all live in the back house.

"Business or private? Tell me about ......," Xuan Chongwen smiled.

"It's about Hexi, starting with the Uighurs of Ganzhou, just two months ago, there was a mutiny in the Uighur palace of Shandan, and the current Khan Yao Luo Ge Renyu was assassinated by his own horseman. Subsequently, Mirisu, a cousin of Renyu Khan, led his troops into the palace and beheaded Renyu Khan's wife and children.

And Mirisu's eldest son Jingqiong also acted at the same time, inviting more than ten people from Renyu Khan's relatives and brothers and his descendants to hunt together, but took the opportunity to kill them all. Later, the Uighur Khans proclaimed Jingqiong as khan. And this Mirisu father and son are the descendants of Hue Khan Diyin Khan. Zong Jingcheng said in detail.

"I don't understand a little, does this new Khan Jingqiong have anything to do with us?" Xuan Chongwen was confused, but he quickly grasped the key to the matter.

"It matters! Because Jing Qiong, the new Uighur Khan of Ganzhou, was the grandson-in-law of Liangzhou Zhe Kui Jiashi, and the old man was very close to Jing Qiong's father's Mirisu, so the situation in Liangzhou was about to change. ”

Shen Jingang said: "Not only that, since the beginning of this year, the Zhiqi branch has frequently gone south to Shanzhou, Qinghai, and they have made a detour from Ganzhou to the south, and it is unknown what they are going to do." ”

"Did the Zhe clan have any friendship with Shanzhou Qingtang Qiang before?" Xuan Chongwen frowned and asked.

Shen Jingang shook his head and said, "In the past, they were hostile to each other with the Uighurs in Ganzhou, and they couldn't even enter Ganzhou, so naturally they couldn't go south. At most, I went to Lanzhou, and I had some dealings with Tuoba Bogu. ”

"The situation is unknown, and we can't decide anything about this matter without permission, let's report it to Yuanzhen and get an idea!" Xuan Chongwen realized the seriousness of the matter, but he was not in a hurry.

"I think we can send a caravan across the Yellow River and go to Lanzhou and Shanzhou to explore the situation with the tribes of Tuoba Bogu, otherwise there will be an accident in Liangzhou, and we will not be able to catch up with the lack of troops and the long way." Zong Jingcheng proposed.

"Hmm...... That's okay, at least we have to know if there is any collusion between the Zhe Kui clan and Qingtang Qiang, so you are here for this? Xuan Chongwen looked at Shen Jingang.

"Yes, my family patriarch asked me to remind you, and let me go to General Zhang!" Shen Jingang nodded.

"Shanzhou is a good place, I can take a trip!" Bian Ji had been listening, and then he spoke.

"Yes! You wait a few days, and I'll arrange two deputies for you. Xuan Chongwen agreed.

Early the next morning, Xuan Chongwen sent an order to Liang Benji, Liang Guiben and his son, who were far away in Hechi, to come to the state office, and then took several entourages to ride out of the city and went to Hekou Town, ten miles south of the city. The rest were dispersed by Xuan Chongwen according to Zhang Yue's instructions and by some small means.

There is only one street in Hekou Town, west to the bank of the Yellow River, east to the bank of the Zuli River, and the people who live here make a living by fishing, raising chickens, ducks, cattle and sheep in their spare time, and now they are stable.

The largest mansion in the town covers an area of more than ten acres, which is Zhou Quanzhi's residence, and it is also the daily gathering place of the disciples of the White Lotus Society, but there are no signboards, and there are no landmarks. Zhou Quanzhi mentioned it many times, wanting to build a White Lotus Temple, and asked Song Yaozhu to ask for it, but Xuan Chongwen didn't agree to her, and asked them to find Zhang Yue.

Feng Qianhou compiled some new scriptures and sent them to Xuan Chongwen, who was forced to Zhou Quanzhi, and the old man was worried about this recently, and often summoned several incense masters to come over to discuss, wanting to sort out and recompile the messy scriptures.

It was the weather after the rain, and the roads in the town were not bad, all paved with river sand, and there was no standing water. When he arrived at the front of the compound, he said to the porter, Xuan Chongwen went in directly, and there were two stone sculptures of the Buddha statue of the lotus seat standing in front of the main gate of the vestibule, and Xuan Chongwen frowned. The porter took him outside the middle hall, and Zhou Quanzhi was waiting.

"The envoy is here! The old decay is far away, and forgiveness is one! Please! Zhou Quanzhi smiled.

The central hall is very poorly arranged, the walls are all lotus Buddha patterns, and there is nothing on the ground except a low table and four bunks. Xuan Chongwen knelt down on the bunk on the side of the low table, and said straight to the point: "Send a caravan to Shanzhou in two days, and Mr. Zhou claims that the White Lotus Society is an orthodox sect and has the responsibility of educating the people. ”

"Oh? Since arriving in Huizhou, Lao Yu has been visiting the Qiang Department, and he has really gained a lot. However, Shanzhou is too far away, and the old man is old, so I am afraid that he will not be able to travel far. "Zhou Quanzhi is old and refined, and he didn't refuse but didn't agree.

"I can't agree to your request to build the White Lotus Temple, otherwise Wen Beijia and Li Sima won't be able to talk about it, you have to understand the difficulties of this official. However, if you are willing to change the name of the so-called White Lotus Society, then it is a different matter. Xuan Chongwen put forward a condition, which was Zhang Yue's request, but the old man refused to agree.

"Don't talk about this anymore, the disciples of the sect will not agree, it is okay to be old and decrepit, after all, the disciples in my society have also accepted so much relief from you, you have to be sincere."

"Alright! On the other side of the Yellow River, there is the Tuoba Bogu Department, and there are many Lanzhou Qiang, you go there to teach the scriptures, if you can make them worship the faith, and return to the court to accept the appeasement and governance, then you can also ask Yuan Zhen to write to the Son of Heaven for you, how about it? Xuan Chongwen smiled, if Zhou Quanzhi can really do this, of course there is no problem in the book, but I am afraid that they will not be able to do it.

"It's a deal! There is a long way to go, although tens of millions of people are going! There are still some things that I need to talk to General Zhang, can I ask my wife to bring a letter back? Zhou Quanzhi asked, Song Yaozhu's identity is different now, and Zhou Quanzhi is reluctant to let her participate in many things, just serve as a bridge of communication between herself and Zhang Yue.

"Of course it's fine!" Xuan Chongwen readily agreed, he didn't want Song Yaozhu to stay in Huining, and came every day to ask for the establishment of the White Lotus Temple, but he couldn't agree, and he couldn't let Wen Yuankai and Li Liangbi know, and the quarrel made his head like a fight.

A few days later, Xuan Chongwen selected 200 good men from Liang Benji's Qiang tribe, and selected 100 scouts who were good at drawing maps from among his own soldiers, led by Bian Ji, Zhou Quanzhi, and Liang Guiben, and drove three or four hundred mules and horses loaded with goods to Shanzhou.

Song Yaozhu took the letters of Xuan Chongwen and Zhou Quanzhi to the front line of the Fengzhou battlefield, and Shen Jingang accompanied her, and the affairs of Hexi needed Zhang Yue and Feng Qianhou to plan. (To be continued.) )
