On the night of returning from Longxi, Burn Dangqiang Lingmang came to Longfei through the secret passage, accompanied by Kaza.

Seeing Ah Niu, Mangzhong was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth: "Haha, congratulations to Ah Niu for becoming the prime minister!" ”

Kaza couldn't help but be overjoyed: "We have all heard about the situation, brother is amazing!" ”

These two have a good personal relationship with Ah Niu, putting aside the personal relationship, Feng Xiang has close cooperation with Burning Dangqiang, and the lord of Fengxiang has now become a prince, which is obviously very beneficial to the exhibition of Burning Dangqiang.

"Well said, well said. It's only two counties, and it's really nothing. I, the prince, got lucky, and I was almost removed from Shenzhou by life, if it weren't for a little luck, the two eldest brothers wouldn't be able to see me. Seeing that Brother Mangzhong and Brother Kaza are full of spring breeze, there must have been good news recently. Ah Niu laughed.

Mangzhong's eyes narrowed into a slit: "At present, it's okay." ”

Kazadong looked westward, suddenly his eyes lit up, he picked up a jar of Baihua wine from the corner of the wall, opened the lid of the altar, sniffed deeply, and did not look for a container, picked up the wine jar and poured a few sips, and showed satisfaction: "Hehe, I know that Ah Niu must have prepared the wine, since drinking your Baihua wine, the wine in the tribe has no taste when drunk." ”

Mangzhong shook his head helplessly, a certain city lord didn't think it was angry at all, laughed, beckoned Mangzhong and Kaza to sit down, and then put two jars of Baihua wine in front of everyone, and then picked up one jar himself, and several people chatted while drinking.

Since he learned the true face of the Qiang King's hypocrisy, good and evil, and the rapid revival of the burning Qiang has become the target of the Qiang King's secret suppression, Mangzhong knows that it is a luxury to be safe and stable with the help of the Harmony Chamber of Commerce. For the survival of the ethnic group and the peace and development of the Qiang world, Mangzhong resolutely decided to compete for the position of the next Qiang king. Mangzhong is also a powerful figure, not only making full use of his high prestige, but also skillfully using the economic strength of Burning Dangqiang, and successively won the support of Hanqiang, Xianlingqiang, Dian Naqiang, Burning He Qiang and other ethnic groups, plus the battle of destroying the prison sister Qiang. The steppe wolves helped to fight Dangqiang has been rumored to be a miracle, so that Mangzhong has a great momentum in the duel with Gong Tang Qiang and the Qiang leader for the king of Qiang.

Mangzhong was not discouraged by the achievements made, and said calmly: "Recently, we have made good progress, not only smashing the Qiang King's conspiracy to force us to relocate, but also winning the support of several ethnic groups. In particular, Dian Naqiang, one of the three strong clans, gave the Qiang King a heavy blow. However, most of the remaining ethnic groups are closely related to the king of Qiang, and the few neutral ethnic groups, such as He Qiang, who refused to take over the residence of our clan last time, are reluctant to express their position. It's not so easy to fight for, there is still more than a year before the election of King Qiang, let's slowly figure it out! ”

A certain city lord suddenly asked, "Who does Frozen Qiang support?" “

"They are closer to the King of Qiang."

"Diehards?"

"Not really, but it's hard to get through." Mangzhong replied subconsciously, and then reacted: "Ah Niu asked and frozen, what do you mean?" ”

Kaza also stopped drinking and looked at each other.

"Other ethnic groups dare not speak. But I might be able to help. A certain city lord smiled leisurely and revealed the mystery: "In addition to you burning Dangqiang, the Harmony Chamber of Commerce also cooperates with two other Qiang ethnic groups, and Frozen Qiang is one of them, and the other Dian Naqiang is already on the side of the Mangzhong brothers, otherwise I can also try to see if I can exert influence." ”

Kaza and Mangzhong were overjoyed.

"Great! And although the strength of Frozen Qiang is not as good as that of Yunnan Naqiang, it is also a backbone group that can be ranked in the top ten. The most important thing is that Frozen Qiang was originally a supporter of Gong Tangqiang, if he can pull it over, it will be a very big blow to Lao Qiang King! Kaza said excitedly.

Ah Niu said: "Don't be happy too early, it is still unknown whether the other party will change its flag because of the Harmony Chamber of Commerce." If the other party would rather lose the agency than give in, I can't help it. ”

Mangzhong smiled: "How do you know if you can succeed if you don't try?" Annuken helps. Whatever the outcome, we have at least one more chance! Well, next time I'll treat you to roast lamb. ”

With such a reward, it is obvious that Mangzhong did not treat a certain city lord as an outsider.

Ah Niu was also happy: "A gentleman's word!" ”

"Whip the horse!"

In the afternoon, Ma Teng had no confidence in opening up the Silk Road. Ah Niu's heart suddenly moved.

Ma Teng's lack of motivation for the reopening of the Silk Road was due to the fact that the counties in the northwest of Liangzhou were not under his control, and the countries in the Western Regions had recently been greatly influenced by the Xiongnu, and the Xiongnu would definitely not want the Han Dynasty to regain benefits from the reopening of the Silk Road, and it was certain that they would try to obstruct it. At this stage, it is almost impossible for the Han Dynasty, which has weakened national strength, to open the Silk Road by force, and the Han Dynasty, which is constantly divided into princes due to civil strife, does not even have the conditions for foreign military use at all.

The traditional Silk Road does not work, and if you want to make a profit by exporting silk, you have to think of another way.

A certain city lord had a flash of inspiration in his mind, and it was possible to reopen the Silk Road through the world of the Guòqiang people?

Although the Qiang people lagged behind the Central Plains, they controlled almost the same territory as the Han Dynasty and also connected the countries of Central Asia. Another advantageous factor is that the territory of the Qiang and Xiongnu is not bordering, and it is cut off by Liangzhou and the countries of the Western Regions in the middle, and the Xiongnu are beyond the reach of even if they want to make oil and water from it! If we start to reopen the Silk Road from the Qiang world, the two problems that plague Ma Teng do not exist at all!

Mangzhong's brain was spinning rapidly, and Ah Niu's mention made him inexplicably excited, even far happier than Ah Niu's attempt to help him win over and freeze Qiang: "If the Silk Road passes through the Qiang region, not only will we be able to burn Dangqiang faster, but it will also greatly promote the economic development of the Qiang region." ”

Ah Niu said: "The Silk Road has been interrupted for a long time, and now the key question is whether you can establish contact with the forces on the other side of the Silk Road. ”

Mangzhong couldn't sit still any longer, got up and said, "Almost the entire Qiang world has the footprints of our clansmen doing business, and it is only fitting for us to do this, and it will not arouse anyone's suspicion." Without further ado, I will immediately go back and arrange a special person to be in charge of this matter, and I will definitely find a way to reopen the Silk Road! ”

Ah Niu didn't keep it, and said with a smile: "That's it, wait for the good news." ”

After sending away Mangzhong and Kaza, a certain city lord did not stay in Longfei for long, and the next morning, Ah Niu went out again and went straight to Chang'an.

Although the main reason for the promotion to the position of princes is that Ah Niu has completed the task of rebuilding Luoyang, and the warlords of Liangzhou also have the intention of dividing the princes of Kwantung and sowing the seeds of instability. But in any case, objectively, the Liangzhou bigwigs have fulfilled Ah Niu. Moreover, a certain city lord just chopped off his nominal boss, and supported Kong Beihai Taitai, and the imperial court controlled by the Liangzhou bigwigs was also green all the way, without blame. It seems that he admires a certain city lord for making waves in Kanto, so he almost didn't send someone to send a certificate of merit, and Ah Niu always had to give the Liangzhou bigwigs a chance to teach them face-to-face.

In terms of affection and reason, you should pay a visit in person, cheer for homely things, and brush and save zài feelings.

As long as the little emperor was still in Chang'an, it was necessary to maintain harmonious relations with the warlords of Liangzhou.

The princes who sent troops to Fengxiang last time were not only Zang Hong's family. If Feng Xiang didn't carry it, the territory would inevitably be removed from Shenzhou, and those people would not know that sending troops meant the life of a certain city lord, which was a matter of life and death, and once it was done, it would be difficult to have room for maneuver. Ah Niu has never been a good gentleman, in fact, this guy will be rewarded. No matter what kind of report the law is, it is beneficial and harmless to complain about the grievances and blow the wind in the DPRK and China first.

As expected, during this trip to Chang'an, a certain city lord was received by a high-standard reception by a warlord in Liangzhou.

The three giants of Guo Yan, Li Dao, and Fan Chou all attended, and while scolding Zang Hongluo for being despicable and shameless, he praised a certain city lord for being justified in counterattacking in the face of danger. Yuan Shao, the lord of Guanasean, was tricked by a certain city lord and wanted to vomit blood, which made the warlord of Liangzhou clap his hands and say that he was happy, and Guangling Taishou Zhang Lian was despised for it...... All in all, Ah Niu is the loyal guardian of the imperial court, the embodiment of justice, and the only hope to drive away the dark clouds of Kanto, and the imperial court is very satisfied with Feng Xiang's expression some time ago, and hopes that a certain city lord will continue to work hard. Don't let go of those princes who intend to destroy Feng Xiang, it's best to kill him in the dark......

"Don't worry, do it boldly! We're optimistic about you! ”

In the meantime, Guo Yan was also full of praise for Ah Niu's courage in building a new city, and then sighed that Chang'an's military salary was insufficient, and it was difficult to protect the emperor, and finally vaguely mentioned that a certain city lord became the prime minister of Qi and owed the court 5ooo million gold, which is self-evident.

It's a pity that Ah Niu is not a fuel-efficient lamp, and he looks like he doesn't understand. Take care of him.

"What a loss the war has brought to Fengxiang, the subordinate territories are all gone, the walls of the main city have been bulldozed in half, I don't know how much money and time it will take to restore the vitality......

"This year. It's hard to borrow money...... Paying people a smile everywhere, those people know that I am waiting for money, the interest rate is frighteningly high, and the most generous ones are three cents...... The 10,000 gold given to Zang Hong only recovered 30 million, and I still owe a lot of foreign debts, so I can't live this life! ”

"The city of swordsmen has to be built, for the sake of Donglai's safety, it has to be built with a swollen face and a fat man! Now we have to hurry up and vigorously accumulate strength, otherwise how will those princes carry it if they fight again? It doesn't matter if I hang up, I can't live up to the expectations of all the adults. ”

"Do you know why Yuan Shao helped me for free? Last time, I was asked to donate 20,000 gold, saying that it was recommended that I be the prime minister of Qi, and Lao Tzu's reconstruction of Luoyang did not benefit from half a cent but had to post a large sum of money upside down, Yuan Shao felt ashamed. Even if his conscience was not eaten by the dog, in fact, he didn't take a penny, he also knew that Fengxiang City could make up 10,000 gold for Zang Hong in half a month, and he had to sell the pot and sell iron, if he was still greedy, it was a big deal that Lao Tzu was not the bullshit minister, and he Yuan Shao had to give me compensation for the reconstruction task. In this way, he still took advantage, so he had to send troops to help me destroy Zang Hong...... Ladies and gentlemen, Yuan Shao helped me destroy Zang Hong, or you can help me solve Zhang, a little thorn history, you can catch it......"

In the end, a certain city lord seemed to spend money to buy the prime minister of Qi, but Zang Hong used that money to recruit a large number of troops to attack Fengxiang, and a large number of Fengxiang men died deeply: "I regret not being at the beginning...... Ladies and gentlemen, I don't want to be the prime minister of Qi anymore, or you choose another master, I don't want to fight with the princes anymore, they bully me as a stranger, this is discrimination, what's wrong with me being a stranger...... If you don't want to be a prince, you can look at the reward for the task of rebuilding Luoyang. ”

Guo Yan and Li Wei's faces turned green, and they single-handedly planned and promoted a certain city lord to become a prince, if Ah Niu was really withdrawn, wouldn't he slap himself in the mouth? You must know that they are now holding the Son of Heaven hostage, but how can they decide on the appointment and dismissal of the princes in Kwantung, Qi and Donglai are in hand, and the rise of Fengxiang is unstoppable, provoking a certain city lord to stand directly on the side of the princes, okay, the Liangzhou army has one more enemy!

secretly scolded a certain city lord in his heart for being shameless, and he had to try his best to appease him, feeling so aggrieved......

The warlord of Liangzhou never mentioned the 5ooo again.

When leaving Chang'an, a certain city lord was relaxed.

Fengxiang City.

Outside the city, the destroyed subsidiary territories are still in full swing, and the construction of infrastructure is almost complete, but there are still very few fireproof barriers. This is a helpless thing, in order to cope with the expansion of the territory Fengxiang carried out a large expansion of the army, the establishment of the Canglan Naval Division was directly increased to 10,000 people, the first thing to be solved by the expansion of the naval division is the problem of warships, and the territory is currently unable to draw out more carpenters for the construction of the horse rejection wall.

Inside the city, however, it was a different scene.

Unlike the obliteration of dependent territories. The main city of Fengxiang was almost not directly attacked, there was no destruction, it was orderly, naturally there was no need to rebuild, the main city was as prosperous as ever, and there was no trace of war damage at all. In fact, even though the main city has been attacked. Due to the large number of adventurous players, the main city will still be a paradise.

A 30-year-old scribe in a green shirt is strolling leisurely through the streets of Fengxiang.

The complexion is slightly yellow, the thick eyebrows are like knives, the eyes are bright like gems, and he seems to be leisurely and calm. In fact, the secret visit in the past few days has already caused waves in his chest.

"There are so many strangers, I thought there were a lot of strangers in Xiangping, compared with here, it's not enough to see."

"The sergeants are full of energy and well equipped. Worthy of the Iron Blood. ”

"Judging from the decorations, clothing, and daily use, Fengxiang people are indeed very rich, such a large territory, and there is not a single poor person in sight. Well, after a few days here, I always feel like something is missing from the city, what is it...... Beggar, not a single beggar can be found! ”

This is now. The green-shirted scribe was shocked.

He is well aware that the income of different occupations is also different, which will objectively lead to an uneven distribution of wealth, and this is true in any place he has visited, and the longer the time, the larger the size of the city, and the greater the gap between the rich and the poor of the people. No exceptions. What Feng Xiangcheng saw and heard made him shake some of the cognitions that were originally ingrained in his mind.

If it is a village-level territory, it is not impossible to do this in a short time, but this is not a small place. Fengxiang is the first capital city in the world!

The Tsing Yi scribe decided to keep looking, looking for answers.

"Private schools and schools are open to all Fengxiang people and are free of charge...... Emphasis on education. “

"Encourage skill levels and reward them according to skill levels...... Valuing talents. ”

"Scholarship system?"

The green-shirted scribe was originally unimpressed with the so-called scholarship system, but when he figured out its rules, he was once again shocked by the handwriting of a certain city lord: taking Liaodong in the era of Gongsun Du as an example, the second-level scholarship of Fengxiang City was equivalent to the salary of ordinary officials in Liaodong County, with an annual salary! As for the amount of the special scholarship, it is enough to arm a hundred-man heavy infantry!

He couldn't accept it at all, it was ridiculous!

"I understand, there is an outrageous reward and everyone is encouraged to work harder, but no one will get it when it comes to judging. It is also a good means to quench your thirst and draw cakes to satisfy your hunger...... After all, the scholarship below the special level is already very generous. ”

When he learned from the villagers of Fengxiang that someone had won a special scholarship this year, he went crazy.

"Impossible, so much money! Are you really willing to give? ”

The green-shirted scribe asked a young Xiucai, and the Xiucai's face changed, and he looked at him with the eyes of a monster, and said dissatisfiedly: "Uncle, that's not a question of how much money, that's honor!" As for whether the territory will honor the scholarship, the Lord of Aniu City has set this rule, how can it not be honored? It's just that a foreigner like you would talk this kind of nonsense. ”

The "uncle" was speechless and hid his face and left.

There are many rumors about Fengxiang in the NPC world, and the people are rich, optimistic, hardworking, and brave and good at fighting...... These qualities, the Qingyi scribe has been more or less aware of these qualities in the past few days, and when he talked with Xiao Xiucai, he finally experienced another rumor: "Fengxiang people trust the lord very much!" ”

"The body of an alien makes so many people trust and follow, and it is not easy for Qi Guoxiang to be the prime minister."

With a soft sound in his abdomen, the green-shirted scribe realized that it was the end of time, and inadvertently missed the meal time. There is a tavern in front of it, two floors up and down, and business is usually booming, but it is not in the peak dining season at this time, but there are some vacant seats.

The green-shirted scribe went straight to the second floor, ordered a few side dishes, tasted the tea poured by Xiao Er, and waited patiently.

Without taking two sips of tea, an old man slowly went upstairs, looked like a showman, and found an empty table to sit down.

"Elder Zhang, why are you free today?" The shopkeeper on the second floor hurried over, and while greeting him, he wiped the table in front of the old man a few more times.

"Hehe, your little dumb mouth is getting sweeter and sweeter...... I have a lot of free time, I haven't seen you for a long time, and I have a girl, come and have a look today. The old man said happily.

The little dumb bar quickly poured tea for the old man: "Mr. Zhang, you sit for a while, there are a few more specialty dishes in the store, you finally come once, but you must taste it." Regardless of whether the old man agreed or not, the little mute made a mischievous grimace and hurried downstairs.

After a while, the little dumb bar came up with a plate, and a few hot side dishes were served on the plate.

There was also a beautiful woman behind him, holding a jar of wine in her hand, and when she saw the old man, she was overjoyed: "Uncle Zhang! ”

The old man smiled with a beard: "Lady Ting, she is really getting more and more beautiful." ”

This woman is naturally He Huanting, the owner of the tavern, and the old man is Zhang Laoshi, the elder of Fengxiang Village.

He Huanting smiled like a flower, helped the little dumb bar put the side dishes away, and filled the wine again.

Smelling the aroma of wine, Zhang Honest smiled even more happily: "Baihua wine, it's not easy to buy recently." ”

"Isn't it, some time ago, Brother Niu was in urgent need of money, and I sold all the Baihua wine stored in the store. This is recently produced, due to the downgrade of Dukang Town, the production of Baihua wine has dropped significantly, and I don't have much. ”

The old man smiled: "I heard that a girl donated the dowry money last time. ”

He Huanting's face turned red, and she said angrily: "I also heard that an old man took out the coffin book, and it turned out to be buried in the yard ......"

The old man didn't refute either, and said happily: "It's not just us, we Fengxiang, the main city plus the affiliated territory is more than 3o people, nearly 1o thousand households, how many of them don't donate cleanly?" Ah Niu's kid has a lot of ability, how do you usually treat everyone, everyone sees it in their eyes and remembers it in their hearts, and it is rare to ask everyone for help once...... Now that he has become the prime minister of Qi, the new state pastor has been rescued by him again, and I Fengxiang has always been friendly, everyone will definitely have a better life in the future, see who dares to come to our Fengxiang again to find trouble, hum. ”

"Uncle Zhang is right," He Huanting smiled so that her eyes were bent into two crescents, and asked, "Uncle Zhang has been studying hard in the academy since he retired, focusing on the way of sages, how can he have free time today?" ”

The old man had a bitter face: "There is no place." ”

"No place?"

"Yes, Sun Liang's kid said that to govern Qi and Donglai, we lack a lot of talents, and the academy has recently focused on training officials. Hey, I'm old, and I have the heart to help Ah Niu share his worries, but this old arm and old leg can't do it, and I'm embarrassed to continue to stay in the school at this time, and grab a place with those young people who are aspiring to become officials, so I simply go out for a walk. ”

The green-shirted scribe's eyes lit up. (To be continued.) If you like this work, you are welcome to come to the starting point to vote for recommendation, monthly pass, your support is my biggest motivation!
