When the sky was bright, Zheng Zhiyuan got up, sent the woman next to him away, and walked out of the door after getting dressed, but saw the door in the left middle room, "The subordinates were still closed in the door, the corners of their mouths couldn't help showing a little smile, and they coughed a few times, Zheng Zhiyuan returned to the room, sat in front of the tray full of gold, silver and jewelry, reached out and grabbed a handful of pearls, and played with them in his hands. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

About half an hour later, there was a sound of footsteps outside the door, and several generals stepped into the door one after another, with a satisfied look on their faces, Zheng Zhiyuan glanced at everyone, and asked unhurriedly: "Did you have a happy night last night?" ”

All the generals laughed: "Thank you, General!" ”

Zheng Zhiyuan laughed, "This is the kindness of Lord Zeng, thank me for what I did?" The beauties have enjoyed it, but these things have to be handed over for military expenses, do you have any opinions? Zheng Zhiyuan pointed to the gold and silver jewelry in front of him.

"No problem" No problem! The crowd was gossiping.

Nodding with satisfaction, Zheng Zhiyuan continued: "Okay" Next, get down to business, Jiang Yu "Your troops will be left behind to assist the Zeng clan in the battle." ”

Jiang Yuhuo stood up, "I am on the orders of my lord." ”

"Do you know how?" Zheng Zhiyuan's eyes narrowed.

"I understand!" Jiang Yu nodded and said: "After entering the inland rivers in the territory of the Zeng clan, the first thing I will do is to draw a map of the waterways of these inland rivers and find out the specific situation of these places along the coast." ”

"Not bad." Zheng Zhiyuan said, "You first lead ten thousand warships to stay, and then" we will send more and more ships and people to join your team, and there is no sailor at all in the northern Lu clan, so it is unlikely that you will have a large-scale water battle on the inland river, and the main energy is probably to land and attack the other party, and you are also a veteran in doing this, and you must be bold" but you have to be careful, understand? ”

"Thank you for your advice!" , Jiang Yu arched his hand.

"Hmm" Also, you are here in the Zeng family, I'm afraid the treatment will not be bad, like yesterday, I'm afraid you will encounter this kind of thing every day, you remember it for me, Gentle Township is a hero's mound, if you want to make a career, just give me control. ”

Jiang Yu said awe-inspiringly: "General, don't worry" I can hold it, from today on, Jiang Yu will start to be a monk again! ”

The crowd burst out laughing.

Zheng Zhiyuan's fleet was leaving, and at the farewell banquet, Zeng Qingfeng asked with a smile: "General Zheng, what I said yesterday?" Zheng Zhiyuan nodded knowingly, "Lord Zeng" This time we came to Shun'an Port, many ships along the way were damaged and needed to be overhauled, "I have to continue to stay in Shun'an Port" Please take care of Lord Zeng! ”

Zeng Qingfeng smiled with satisfaction: "It's okay, it's okay, no matter how long you stay, it's okay!" ”

"Jiang Yu, you stay in charge of the maintenance of these ships" I have a lot to ask Lord Zeng for advice, and I am obeying Lord Zeng's orders, "Don't make a mistake, understand?" Jiang Yu stood up and saluted Zeng Qingfeng, "Jiang Yu has seen Lord Zeng!" The Izumo pulled anchor, and the fleet carried away the 20,000 strong men mobilized by the Zeng clan to "sail to the vast sea", while more than a dozen warships of thousands of materials lay quietly in the harbor, waiting for the weather to warm up and the ice season to "start sailing into the inland river to fight."

As soon as the Laba Festival passed, the flow of people in the entire Dingzhou city obviously increased several times compared with before, "the crowd on the street rubbed shoulders" or carried burdens, or carried baskets, and people from all over the country poured into Dingzhou City to begin to collect New Year's goods and prepare for the New Year. The shop owners in the city are busy with their feet facing the sky, "tired enough, but everyone is smiling, this year is a good year, everyone has money in their hands, this shot is much more generous than in previous years."

Compared with previous years, this year there are a lot of concubine shops in Dingzhou City, most of which sell some leather goods, "Speaking of these barbarian people's craftsmanship in selling animal skins, it is indeed superior, and the original leather made is soft and comfortable, and it is known at a glance that it is a first-class goods, and it is in short supply in Dingzhou City."

Most of the barbarian shops are concentrated in the outer city, and the outer city is almost all new immigrants who have recently entered Dingzhou, for the barbarians, there are not too many prejudices, everyone has been getting along for a long time, and they are acquainted, but there is no feeling of non-my race, but in the inner city, this feeling of getting along is much worse, after all, most of the people who live in the inner city are the aborigines of Dingzhou City, and the barbarians are several generations of grievances, and it is impossible to completely eliminate them in a short time.

The largest leather shop in the outer city was opened by the former barbarian nobleman Jing Po, don't look at this guy old Longzhong, but the heart is really smart, Sun Zi Jingdong is now an important general in the Dingzhou garrison Murwei area, serving under the command of the general Guan Xinglong, opposite this shop, "Su Shun opened a grassland flavor restaurant, the three-storey façade is quite majestic, the whole restaurant covers an area of several acres, it is a high-end restaurant in the outer city, because the flavor is unique, the business is excellent, and the merchants come to Dingzhou, Most people will come to this famous grassland style restaurant to taste the flavor of the grassland.

Authentic mare's milk wine, green naked rice, hand-grabbed mutton, roasted whole sheep and other grassland specialties, the restaurant also performs various styles of grassland songs and dances every day, it didn't take long for this restaurant to become famous, and the business was booming.

Entering this restaurant, "through the lobby, into the backyard, the eyes will be bright, the wide courtyard is covered by large trees, although covered by thick snow, but these specially pruned pine cedars are still standing proudly" white mango occasionally poked out a little emerald green, which makes people shine, a few plum huā are self-spitting "faint fragrance lingers in the nose, on both sides of the winding path paved with colorful stones, various styles of tents show overlapping scales" These tents are all grassland style private rooms, Just to wrap such a tent will cost ten taels of silver, counting the wine, food, singing and dancing, you can't take it without dozens of taels of silver.

Compared with the major cities in the interior of Dachu, the curfew policy is still being implemented, but Dingzhou City canceled the curfew a few years ago, this policy is that Dingzhou City has completely become a city that never sleeps.

"Su Shun, I can't see it, you really have a talent for doing business, this grassland wind can be regarded as a daily gold fight now!" Inside the tent, Boyan played with the wine glass, stared at the dancing girl dancing the grassland dance in the middle of the tent, and said.

At this moment, in this tent, a group of original nobles on the grassland gathered, Boyan, Sushun, Jingpo, Qiyu and others were all there. Only Nochiashan was in the army and did not attend.

Su Shun smiled, "Lord Boyan" In addition to doing business, what else can we do now? It's not like staying in the house all day, drinking and having fun, "Sit and eat the mountains, I'm thinking" I have to find a living for my children and grandchildren, old man Jingpo, do you think I'm right? Jing Po touched his white beard, nodded and said, "Yes, yes, you have to find something to do, otherwise you will suffocate people." Speaking of which, the profits of this leather business are so big: "We used to suffer the losses of those profiteers, and they actually doubled the price, hum, now I will do it myself, let these profiteers drink the northwest wind!" Boyan sighed, it has been a year since he moved to Dingzhou City, he has to admit that in attracting people's hearts, Dingzhou Li Qing is indeed clever, "Hundreds of thousands of barbarian people who moved inward, and now their lives are still nourishing, especially those lowest-level barbarians in the past, compared to those who were on the grassland, "I don't know how much better life is" I can't help but have my own houses, land, and I have learned the farming skills of the Central Plains people, plus these people are good at breeding, only the city is hardworking, you can live a rich life, And Dingzhou not only did not discriminate against these defeated herdsmen, but in various policies to them, such as paying taxes, they only pay two-thirds of the share of Dingzhou people every year, in the barbarian inhabited forest, a large number of schools opened for children to enroll in free of charge, and the sound of recitation often sounded in the homes of these former herdsmen, under a series of measures, today's barbarians can be regarded as happy, and began to manage their own small life with peace of mind.

"Your Majesty, if this continues, in a few decades, the barbarians will no longer exist!" Boyan lamented in his heart, in the face of this situation, he was powerless, and could only watch Li Qing methodically "assimilate the tribes of the grassland step by step."

Knock on the table" Boyan asked the dancers to retreat, looked at the people in the tent, and said, "Everyone, I have brought you here today to discuss a major matter. ”

Everyone fell silent and looked at Boyan together.

"The Mulan Festival is coming!" Boyan reminded everyone.

Everyone's faces changed, and when they thought of the grand scene of the Mulan Festival in previous years, they couldn't help but feel sad, "I'm afraid this kind of grand scene will not reappear."

"In previous years, the Mulan Festival was attended by hundreds of thousands of people" This year, I'm afraid we can only spend it in our own homes! Su Shun said in a low voice. In my heart, I was thinking about how to use the Mulan Festival, a festival with grassland characteristics, to carry out a series of activities in the grassland style restaurant to attract customers.

"I have told Marshal Li Qing that I want to organize the clansmen there to hold a celebration of the Mulan Festival in Shanglin!" , Boyan said lightly.

"What?" Su Shun was taken aback, "Lord Boyan, such a large-scale gathering of the clansmen, I am afraid that it will be very taboo against Li Qing, and he will definitely not agree." ”

Boyan smiled: "It is precisely because he disagrees, I have spread the news, and the clansmen in Shanglin are all looking forward to this day" If Li Qing does not allow it, then it is just right, let the clansmen see, how he is to us, is he as trusting as he seems, so unreserved? Su Shun's heart trembled, "He lowered his head, but he didn't make a sound."

At this time, in the Zhenxi Houfu, Li Qing faced Boyan's request, and also made some difficulties, "The barbarian naturalization is not long ago, the wildness has not been removed, and the people who miss the old master are very talented, here and now, such a large-scale gathering activity, once someone fanned the flames, it is very easy to cause trouble, and if such a thing really happens, "it will not end well, except for raising the butcher's knife, there is really no other good way" and once the butcher's knife is raised, his hard work for the past year will be in vain.

"Summoning Daoming back to Dingzhou to discuss matters, please Mr. Shang, Master Lu, and Director Qingfeng come over!" Li Qing commanded.! ~！
