Ansu army is located in the border of Song and Liao, control the main road between Song and Liao, since the alliance of the Yuan, there are few wars between Song and Liao, and Ansu also has a field, merchants from the two countries gather here to trade, the wine flag flutters on the market, the shops are numerous, extremely prosperous.

Zhao Caisheng is short and chubby, with a round face always smiling, always giving people a sense of harmony. He has been a merchant in Ansu for almost ten years, and his family's Zhao's tea shop is the largest tea shop in Ansu, mainly engaged in bulk tea business with Liao merchants.

Especially in the past few years, Zhao Caisheng has become friends with He Sizong, the Zhijun of Ansu, and the business has been smooth, which makes his peers envious.

"Ouch, Ruan Dutou, I haven't seen you come to our store for a while, you came here by coincidence, the shop has just arrived with a batch of Suzhou tea, do you want to have some Ruan Dutou?" When the guys of Zhao's Tea Shop saw a military man in his forties entering the store, he immediately greeted him enthusiastically.

"Don't talk nonsense, what about your Zhao Dongjia, hurry up and let him come out, I came to pay off the tea money I owed him last time." The military man is extremely majestic, and he walks with a tiger, but he is an impatient when he hears this.

"Ruan Dutou is here to settle the bill? You hurry up inside please, inside please! The man's smiling face became even brighter, and he hurriedly led the military man to the back hall.

After the guy led the military man to the inner courtyard, he did not leave in a hurry, but lazily rested under the green plum tree in the courtyard, looking around from time to time.

As soon as the door closed, the short and fat Zhao Caisheng suddenly knelt down: "My subordinates meet the sect leader!" ”

The military man put away his vulgar demeanor, sat down on the chair with his feet out, looked at Zhao Caisheng and said, "I don't have much time to go out of the camp, hurry up and report the situation in the capital.!" ”

"Sect Master, my subordinates have just received a letter from the flying pigeon, and Tan Yuan was taken away by the Criminal Department!"

"What's going on? Didn't he ask him to return to Beijing and not to do anything first? Has the Faduan side ever been implicated? ”

"Sect Master, why Tan Yuan was discovered by the Criminal Department is still unknown, but Tan Yuan has not been to the Shangqing Palace since returning to Beijing, Fa Duan has not been implicated, the Yan family has successfully persuaded Empress Meng, and Fa Duan prayed in the Funing Palace, as long as Zhao Xu drank Fa Duan's talisman water, it will be done."

"Spread the order of the sect leader, all altars immediately speed up their actions, otherwise once Tan Yuan can't stand it, our ten years of hard work will be ruined!"

"Yes! Master! However, his subordinates received news that Liao did not send an envoy to Tokyo this year to celebrate his birthday. ”

Jun Han's face suddenly became gloomy when he heard this, and the chill emanating from his body made Zhao Caixian, who was crawling on the ground, dare not move, for fear of being convicted for this, he quickly explained: "Sect Master, according to the analysis of his subordinates, the Song Dynasty stopped giving Western Xia coins this year, and the Liao State did not send envoys, which should be to put pressure on the Song Court." ”

Empress Dowager's birthday is also in October, Maitreya wanted to take advantage of the opportunity of the Song Liao exchange of missions, rob and kill, and then blame each other on both sides, Song Liao has many garrisons on the border, once it can successfully blame, it may even cause a big war between the two countries, and then Maitreya will take advantage of the chaos to cause trouble, and it can achieve the effect of fishing in troubled waters.

Now that Liao has not sent an embassy, there is inevitably some fly in the ointment.

Jun Han asked with a gloomy face, "What about the Song State Mission?" ”

"Sect Master, the Song State Mission will arrive in Ansu at noon tomorrow, and according to the itinerary, the mission should leave the country directly and stay overnight in Zhuozhou, Liao State!"

Jun Han said without hesitation: "Inform Gu Sanshi, act according to the second plan, be sure to create the illusion that the Song army will attack the fortress of the Liao army, and then rob and kill the Song delegation in one fell swoop!" There is no room for error! Zhao Caisheng, how many Song Jun costumes have been transported? ”

"Sect Master, rest assured, more than two hundred sets have been shipped, which is enough!"

"Well, that's it, the Faduan side is also important, you have to pay attention at all times, when the DPRK and China are in chaos, and there will be disputes on the Song-Liao border again, we can expect big things!"

After decades of operation, the Maitreya Sect originally planned to adopt the strategy of flowering in the north and south, but the foundation of Shouchang in the south was unexpectedly uprooted by He Shikuan, and its vitality was greatly damaged!

Although the north side has not been affected, but can not wait any longer, the uprising needs a suitable environment, Yuan You nine years, the imperial court did not repair armaments, the army was eroded, the combat effectiveness was low, and the officials of the DPRK and China were busy with each other, political **, people's livelihood was difficult, and now with Zhao Xu's pro-government, a series of reform measures were promulgated in the world, Ruan Tianxing understood that if he waited for a few more years, the Great Song Dynasty would probably be a different look, and it would be even more difficult to think about it.

Now that the reform has been carried out in the first place, the gentry in various places have serious resistance to the imperial court, and these gentry may not want to see anyone rise up, at least this can prove that the new policy of the imperial court is against the people and unpopular.

Ruan Tianxing believes that as long as he is in the climate, it should not be difficult to win the support of these gentry.

The general judge is a deputy position in the state or the army, and has the right to act alone, to put it bluntly, they are sent by the imperial court to check and balance the local officials.

Soon after Li Gefei arrived in Ansu, he found that the Zhijun He Sizong had close contacts with local businessmen, and there was a suspicion of collusion between officials and businessmen and malpractice, so he impeached He Sizong; As a result, the relationship between the two chief officers of Ansu became very tense.

Last time, Li Gefei was almost relegated to Qiongzhou, and his wife Wang still has lingering palpitations, although the conflict between her husband and He Sizong made her worried, but she didn't say anything;

On this day, she brought tea into the book to chat, and when she saw that Li Gefei was about to go to the table to oppose Qingtian's matter, she couldn't help but persuade: "Husband, can you leave Qingtian's affairs alone......"

"What do you know?"

"Other concubines don't understand, concubines only know that there are already dozens of governors, and they have been demoted to Lingnan because of the above table against the new tax law, husband, who doesn't know now, Your Majesty is determined to implement the new law, even if you don't think about your career, can't you think about our Qingniang?"

"I would like to be in peace, because there have been many fights in Qingtian, and there were three lives two days ago, the local gentry resistance is so strong, if the court insists on going its own way, I am afraid that the world will be in chaos, as an official of the court, I know that the court is wrong, and I can't speak out fairly, this official doesn't do it!"

"Husband, you don't care about the other concubines, but this Qingtian matter is really untouchable! Even if it is the end of the world, there is no complaint or regret with the husband and concubine, but the husband can't bear to let Qing Niang follow us far away? ”

Li Gefei was about to answer, when his family came in and reported that the mission to Liao had arrived in the south of the city.

Looking at the figure of her husband hurrying away, Wang couldn't help but sigh!

This trip to the north was very rare for Yang Yi, as it gave him the opportunity to learn about many of the implementation of the new policies at the local level, and the land clearance work in most prefectures and counties was still in full swing, and all kinds of non-cooperation and even violent resistance occurred from time to time.

These situations were expected by the imperial court before, after all, this was to grab food in the bowl of the landlords and gentry, and Wang Anshi's green seedling law had also forcibly apportioned to them before, but compared with the current official gentry's integrated payment, Wang Anshi's apportionment was very mild, and the new tax law completely touched the core interests of the gentry, and it was not surprising that they did not cooperate, or even resisted.

What we have to do now is not to show mercy to those who resist. At the same time, it is necessary to appropriately increase the number of jobs for officials, especially the income of military generals.

This is a disguised high-paid means of appeasement, and everything else can be messed up, but the military can't mess up. Yang Yi has already sent someone to report these opinions, and I believe that there will be a response soon.

Yang Yi took advantage of this northward journey, sometimes leaving the team and going to the fields to collect first-hand information, Li Guangtong was dissatisfied with his 'unprofessional' behavior, and the conflict in Handan made him and Zheng Li Guangtong even more estranged.

The hunting west wind blew the banner of the Song character, and Yang Yi took the lead and walked at the front of the entire team. Ansu City arrived, and after Ansu was the boundary of Liao.

Yang Yi also put away his other thoughts, followed Li Guangtong's side, and greeted He Sizong, Li Gefei and others who welcomed them out of the south gate.

Goodbye Yang Yi, Li Gefei's mood is a little complicated, no matter what, if it weren't for Yang Yi to come forward, he would have been demoted to Qiongzhou, but Yang Yi's new tax system Li Gefei did not agree, thinking that this was the source of chaos.

"Master Li, don't come unharmed!" Yang Yi smiled, as if he didn't see the complicated look on Li Gefei's face.

"Let the thousands of miles make Liao, Liaodong is bitter cold, I wish any one of them a safe road!" In addition, Li Gefei didn't know what to say.

This should have been said when he said goodbye, but when Yang Yi heard it, he knew that Li Gefei didn't want to talk more to him, and it was not good to ask Li Qingzhao about his current situation, so he couldn't help but feel a little melancholy in his heart.

The two sides have different positions, and perhaps sooner or later there will be a conflict, and it is not easy to maintain a superficial politeness today.

The delegation did not stay much in Ansu, and after lunch, they set off for the north again.

Not far out of the city, a fast horse chased after him and brought a letter to Yang Yi.

Yang Yi opened it and saw a few lines of juanxiu written in the letter:

Saiyan flies south and flies north,

Hu Chen traveled thousands of miles to Beijing.

The ground is full of reed flowers for each other,

Don't be afraid of withering in the wind.

After Yang Yi finished reading, Le Ma turned around, and vaguely saw the figure of a girl standing on the head of Ansu City, the west wind blowing her dress, like a light cloud in the sky, light, elegant, and beautiful!

Yang Yi couldn't see her face clearly, but he could feel that those bright star-like eyes followed his figure, and the past time came back to his mind, such as the dusk when the sky was full of colorful clouds and the sunset was everywhere;

"My name is Li Qingzhao, and my father and mother call me Qingniang! Brother Yang is on top, Qing Niang is polite! ”

"Oh, but Qingqingzijinqing? Ruixue Mega Year Omen? ”

"No! It is the clear of the upper stream of the clear spring stone, and the light of the bright moon and pine. ”

Yang Yi suddenly felt that the sky was so blue, looking at the world and the earth, Yi Shui went east, Yan Mountain was horizontal, the wind was surging, the eagle was soaring, he couldn't help but look up to the sky and roar, draw his sword and sing:

The road to the north of Yanshan is boundless,

Yi Shui heard the song and regained any injuries.

The world has its own spring and autumn pen,

Splash ink and write a line for me.

Maybe I saw Yang Yi pulling his sword and singing, the girl on the city wall waved a handkerchief, and her light body seemed to be unbearable in the northwest, and she was about to fly away with the wind.

Yang Yi retracted his gaze, and the prancing horse galloped north, the yellow dust was rolling, the horse's hooves were broken, and there was no regret in his heart.
