Faced with the sudden happiness, Lu Xiangsheng and the others only felt like they had been hit by a pie falling from the sky. But surprise is surprise, but Lu Xiangsheng and Yang Tinglin are not ordinary people, and reason quickly returned to them after the excitement.
The ancestor has long said that there must be something to ask for in the courtesy, Yue Yang gave himself such a big gift, not because he thought he had too much silver, nor because his character was too good, and he accepted such a big gift from the other party to repay others, otherwise there is too much silver for others to spend, why should I give it to you?
After coming back to his senses, Yang Tinglin said to Yue Yang; "Lord Yue, as the saying goes, no merit is not rewarded, and your generous gift is really worthy of us!"
Yue Yang smiled and said: "Mr. Yang is polite, the governor is dedicated to training for the country, but he suffers from no food and no salary, how can Yue Yang, as a citizen of the Ming Dynasty, do not do his best, but ......"
Hearing this, Lu Xiangsheng and Yang Tinglin glanced at each other, knowing that the meat drama was coming. The other party's support is so generous, and he must be conditional.
Yue Yang pondered for a moment and said: "Governor Mingjian, you also know that the government and the opposition already know that the last general married a Mongolian woman, and Lord Fuwen even wants to ask the emperor to send a decree to punish the last general at this time. Fortunately, Lord Yang and Lord Hou were in front of the palace to protect them, and the last general escaped.
And the last general did have a close relationship with the Horqin tribe, and the last general would often send caravans to exchange tea bricks, salt, clothing and other things with them for horses. At present, the road from Datong to Guanwai is indispensable for the last general, and the last general has no other requirements. I just hope that the governor will be able to open up to the last general's caravan after taking over Xuanzhen, so that the last general will be grateful. ”
Lu Xiangsheng was silent for a while. Although it was his first time to come to Shanxi, he was no stranger to Shanxi and Jin merchants. The Jin merchants had always been known for their lawlessness, and it was no secret that the Jin merchants and the Tartars outside the Guanxi even traded with the Jurchens, so Lu Xiangsheng was not surprised that Yue Yang made such a request.
"That's fine." Lu Xiangsheng nodded: "If Zhenghong has to promise not to sell those iron weapons, weapons and armor to the Mongols and Jurchens, what does it matter if the official promises you." ”
"Xie Duchen!" Yue Yang was overjoyed, he knew that as long as he had Lu Xiangsheng's words, there would be absolutely no trouble when his caravan passed through the customs in the future. Now the Horqin tribe has become an important source of livestock and war horses for him, with the exhibition of Wuli Village and the continuous opening of the wasteland. The demand for livestock is also increasing, especially for cattle, so the connection with Mongolia is indispensable.
After the two sides negotiated the conditions, they were very satisfied, one of them took this opportunity to hug Lu Xiangsheng's thigh, and the other only paid a trivial thing to get enough weapons, pig iron and thousands of loads of food to equip thousands of people, which can be described as a great joy.
Yue Yang looked at the sky, and the sun had already begun to set. It was time to finish eating, and he was about to invite Lu Xiangsheng to dinner together, but Lu Xiangsheng saw through his thoughts and said with a smile: "Zhenghong, it's not too early, and the official is about to leave." Originally, the officer wanted to see the strong team you trained. But now it seems that there is not enough time, so I can only wait for a later look, and now the official has taken his leave. ”
"The Doge is leaving?" Yue Yang looked at Lu Xiangsheng in surprise, "Is the governor suspicious of the last general?" ”
At this time, Yue Yang had a trace of surprise, confusion and even a hint of gloom on his face, what was going on with these two guys. After the thing is done, I have to rush back without even eating a bite of food, is this a bad greeting buddy?
The look on Yue Yang's face Lu Xiangsheng didn't see it. But Yang Tinglin appeared, seeing the slightly changing look on Yue Yang's face, Yang Tinglin immediately realized that the two of them were not authentic, and left immediately after taking other people's things, which was suspected of being dissatisfied with the master. Although Lu Xiangsheng's official rank is more than three streets higher than that of Yue Yang, he flashed immediately after getting something, and this kind of thing is not authentic.
It was Yang Tinglin who hurriedly explained: "Lord Yue misunderstood, the governor and his subordinates did not come alone, but there are thousands of soldiers thirty miles outside the city, and the governor has a habit, that is, whenever the army is outside, he must eat and live with the soldiers. ”
At this time, Lu Xiangsheng also realized that he had gone too far in what he had done just now, and it was not a gentleman's act to leave when he got a benefit. His face was slightly hot, and he also explained: "Zhenghong doesn't know, there is not much food and grass in the army these days, and the soldiers can only eat two porridges in the morning and evening every day. ”
"Oh...... Is there such a thing? Yue Yang looked at Lu Xiangsheng at this time, the dissatisfaction in his heart just now had already dissipated, and there was a hint of admiration in his eyes, it seems that it is not easy for a person to leave his name in the history books, just because he is not greedy for pleasure, and he can go back to drink porridge with the soldiers, which is not something that anyone can do.
"The governor is noble, and the last general will admire!" Yue Yang pondered for a while and said: "In this way, the last general will let people prepare food and a hundred fat pigs tonight, and tomorrow the general will send someone to the governor's camp, which can be regarded as a little bit of the general's heart." ”
"Okay, this official has thanked Zhenghong for the soldiers!" Lu Xiangsheng looked at the sincere expression on Yue Yang's face, reached out and patted Yue Yang's shoulder hard before he stopped talking, Lu Xiangsheng is not a person who likes to talk about it, this action has revealed a lot of things.
After sending Lu Xiangsheng away, Yue Yang remembered that he should have asked this cattle man in the late Ming Dynasty to leave calligraphy and paintings just now, if he took this guy's ink treasure to modern times and sold it, it was estimated that he would make a lot of money.
Just when Yue Yang was thinking about how to get a pair of ink treasures from Lu Xiangsheng's hands next time, in the Xuanda Governor's Mansion in Datong, Zhang Zongheng, who was the Governor of Xuanda at the time, was cold in his heart with a secret report that had just come from the capital.
"How so...... How did it come to this? How could the imperial court suddenly remove the position of the official and let that Lu Manzi take over the official, could there be any changes in the court? ”
Zhang Zongheng is slightly chubby, with a big round face and small eyes, if he changes into a civilian robe, he looks like a shopkeeper on the street at first glance, as if he may say the words congratulations at any time. But only those who are familiar with him know that this Xuanda Governor is not a good stubble, and it is not an exaggeration to describe him as ruthless, greedy, and lustful.
A middle-aged man who looked like a master who had been standing in front of Zhang Zongheng with his hands down said in a deep voice: "My lord, this letter was written by Elder Wen Ge himself, so there will be no mistake. And Wen Ge Lao also said in his heart, the emperor has been quite dissatisfied with the fact that the Lord has not made any achievements since he became the Governor of Xuanda, and Lu Xiangsheng has won the favor of the emperor recently, so it is not surprising to send him to replace the Lord, at this time it can be said that it is a foregone conclusion, there is no way to change it, and now the most important thing is to smooth out the traces of those things over the years before Lu Xiangsheng arrives, don't let Lu Xiangsheng catch any tricks, Lu Xiangsheng is notoriously upright! ”
"Well, that makes sense." After the persuasion of the staff, the anger in Zhang Zongheng's heart gradually calmed down, for him, this governor can't go on, and after returning to the capital, he will change places and continue to be an official, scraping the ground, the most important thing now is to wipe his ass clean as this staff member said, Lu Xiangsheng will arrive in a few days, if Lu Xiangsheng catches the handle, it will not be very good.
"Eh, it's bad......" The middle-aged staff member suddenly remembered something, and said, "My lord, we forgot one thing, you sent Brother Ni to Yingzhou Mansion a few days ago to find that Yue Yang to pay respects, and now Brother Ni hasn't come back yet!" ”
"That's right!" Zhang Zongheng's face also changed, he slapped his thigh and shouted: "Damn, why did I forget about this, Master Ni is still there in Yingzhou, and I don't know how his affairs are going?" We'll have to send someone to call him back right away. ”
"It's late!" The middle-aged staff member smiled bitterly and shook his head, "My lord, it's too late to find someone at this time, Brother Ni must have already told that Yueyang." ”
"Alas...... It's really better to be a human being than a god! ”
Zhang Zongheng sighed, the originally unknown Wulizhai suddenly became dazzling after passing through the post report of the capital, and the whole country shouted that the grain production was reduced and there was no harvest, and the news of the harvest in Wulizhai was like a flashbang in the night, which almost blinded everyone's eyes.
As a person who regards money as his life, Zhang Zongheng knew for the first time that there was such a rich man under his command, and he immediately sent his own business to Yingzhou Mansion with his teeth, originally thinking that he could knock out a lot of money, but now it seems that it is too late in time, but he will hand over a local powerful general.
Seeing the pain on Zhang Zongheng's face, how did the staff around him not know that he, the proprietor, must be distressed that he couldn't knock Yueyang's bamboo bar. He laughed in a low voice: "Why should my lord be distressed, although we have no time to get filial piety from that Yueyang, it may not be that there is no opportunity." ”
"Oh? What can you do? As soon as he heard that there was a way to get the silver, Zhang Zongheng immediately came to his senses.
"My lord, according to the students' knowledge, there is a caravan in Yueyang that has just returned from outside the Guan, and there are hundreds of livestock and a lot of wool and leather in that caravan......
"No way!" Before the staff could finish speaking, Zhang Zongheng interrupted him, "Now it's not like the past, those wool leather and livestock are no better than others, if it was in the past, it's easy to say, but now that Lu Manzi is about to take office, we don't have the strength to act slowly." ”
ps: There is a power outage today, Ah Ding went for a walk on the street. The weather is hot, and the beauties on the street are wearing cool clothes, and their white thighs are almost blinding Ah Ding's titanium alloy dog eyes, ah...... Ah Ding regretted for the first time that my mother gave birth to me too early...... Hey, just kidding! Code words, Nima's doesn't know if he can code it out tonight!
