Mr. Ji is old and energetic.

He discussed it with Yan Yunge.

After two years, when all aspects of Pingyang County are on the right track, he will become a professional and concentrate on running a newspaper.

"Madame's idea is very good, change the imperial court Tang newspaper a little and expand the content section, which can be convenient for the majority of small people. People like the old man who have never entered the court can also publish articles on it, and there is even a group of supporters, who seem to have become the mouthpiece of the lady to the outside world. ”

Yan Yunge pursed his lips and smiled, "Mr. has a well-written article and a great talent, and the world should know about it." Mrs. Ben is also happy to ask Mr. to be my mouthpiece, and I hope that Mr. will not dislike him. ”

Mr. Ji laughed, "Don't dislike, don't dislike, the old man is honored." Thanks to Mrs. not disliking the old man's outdated ideas, the old man will not disappoint Mrs. Hope. ”

Yan Yunge said solemnly: "I am full of expectations for Mr. The fact that Xiao Chengye ascended the throne and became emperor in the north has spread all over the world.

I heard that the small people in the market are idle and bored, and they are also discussing this matter.

In some places, people are even more panicked, whether they should go to the Northern Wei Dynasty or obey the control of the Southern Wei Emperor, and some people even turn against each other for this matter.

Mr. Ji may wish to write an article on this matter to give Xiaomin a response, so that they can work with peace of mind and not have to panic. At least in Pingyang County, whether it is the Southern Wei Dynasty or the Northern Wei Dynasty, the hand cannot be reached. ”

Mr. Ji nodded again and again, "Then the topic of this article is that Pingyang County is the Pingyang County of Madame." Regardless of whether it is the court in the north or the court in the south, don't want to interfere in the internal affairs of Binh Duong County! ”

Yan Yunge nodded, "That's pretty much what it means." As the lord of a county, Mrs. Ben has never panicked for a moment, so why are the people below flustered. As a citizen of Binh Duong County, you must learn to face all kinds of changes in the situation calmly. ”

"That's fine! After the old man went down, he pondered carefully, and tried to write the article in an easy-to-understand way that everyone could understand. ”

"Then hard sir."

"It's not hard, it's not hard! Also, can you give a prediction about the future situation? For example, in the second year of Tianhe, the confrontation between the north and the south, how will it develop? ”

Yan Yunge laughed, "Sir, you don't have to take my words, even if I say it, you can't publish it in the newspaper." ”

Mr. Ji laughed.

After laughing, he stroked his beard and said, "The old man naturally understands this truth. What can be said and what can't be said, the old man has a scale in his heart. It's not old and confused, and everything that should be said and what shouldn't be said is said.

The north and the south are opposed, Sima Dou is dead, and Xiao Chengye is coming. This time, it is not the same as the last time Sima Dou ascended the throne and became emperor. Sima Dou, that's an anti-thief, this is indisputable.

But Xiao Chengye, he is the eldest son of Emperor Yingzong Yongtai, and the banner he plays is also a Zhengchao Gang, restoring orthodoxy. The recovery of the imperial tombs, ancestral shrines, and ancestral temples has been recognized in the minds of many people.

After all, the emperor and the imperial court, who even lost the ancestral hall and the imperial tomb, really made the people mutter, incompetent!

Xiao Chengye recovered the lost land and regarded himself as the orthodoxy of the Great Wei, and many people's hearts began to be chaotic.

In the past, it was taken for granted that the 'Great Qi' in the north was a puppet dynasty. Now, whether the Beidi Imperial Court is a puppet dynasty or an orthodox court, which side to believe and which side to support, and not to hide from Mrs., many people are confused in their hearts.

On the one hand, he recognizes the court in the south, and on the other hand, he recognizes the court in the north, and there are many people who are entangled and contradictory in their hearts. If you don't give everyone a dose of reassurance, the old man thinks that there will be instability in people's hearts. ”

Yan Yunge was not in a hurry, "Dare to ask Mr., do you recognize the northern court or the southern court?" ”

Mr. Ji thought about it carefully and said, "The old man is more inclined to the southern court!" Xiao Chengye is always a little suspicious of being in the wrong position.

Although he recovered the lost land, he recovered the imperial tomb, the ancestral hall, and could worship the ancestors.

However, he was originally the Marquis of Andu in the southern court. His credit should also be counted in the southern court. How can he ascend the throne and become emperor himself? Basically equivalent to rebellion! ”

Yan Yunge continued to ask: "Mr. is a scholar, and everyone who reads is right. I want to know, what are the thoughts of the students at Songshan Academy? ”

Mr. Ji said affirmatively: "It's similar to the old man's thoughts." ”

Yan Yunge laughed, "That's right!" Scholars all over the world basically have the same idea as Mr., this is the people's heart.

For thousands of years, the guidance of public opinion has actually been in the hands of readers. My husband is worried that some people will sway from side to side, which will cause civil unrest, but in fact, it is not necessary.

After the New Year, when spring begins, Mr. will go outside to have a look, and people's hearts should basically stabilize at that time. A Spring Festival is enough for scholars to stabilize public opinion and stabilize people's hearts for the imperial court. ”

Mr. Ji thought about it carefully, eh, it seems that this is really the case.

Still, he had doubts in his mind.

"Madame thinks that Xiao Chengye has no chance at all? Will the southern court win? ”

Yan Yunge said with a smile: "Who loses and who wins, it's too early to draw conclusions. After all, behind Xiao Chengye, there is also a young eunuch Deng and a Hengyi Hou Xiao Chengli. These two are the real henchmen. Why don't you run a newspaper with peace of mind, enjoy the flowers and drink in the snow, and wait for the future. I can't guarantee anything else, but I can still ensure the safety of Binh Duong County. ”

"Madame, the old man is indeed worrying about the sky, and he is worried in vain."

"Sir is false! Mr. Binh Duong County is his home, so he will be worried. With Mr. here, I have the backbone. Mr. is the reassuring pill of Binh Duong County. ”

Mr. Ji waved his hand again and again, and he was ashamed of it.

"Madam, don't kill the old man! The old man has a few pounds and a few taels, and he knows it well. As long as Mrs. says it's okay, the old man will definitely believe Mrs. ”

Yan Yunge pursed her lips and smiled, "Actually, it's not completely nothing. Pingwu Marquis Shi Wen Tuo Ling Chang'an brought me a letter, Mr. should also take a look. In the letter, Shi Wen, the Marquis of Pingwu, asked me what I would do if I were in his position. ”

Mr. Ji quickly finished reading the contents of the letter.

He pondered and asked, "How does Madam plan to reply to Pingwu Marquis Shi Wen?" ”

Yan Yunge said: "Pingwu Hou Shi Wen's situation is a little embarrassing, and it is meaningless to continue to fight with the Liu family. At the moment, there is definitely no winner. Directly retreated, and the court and the emperor couldn't get over face, as if the southern court was afraid of the northern court. He retired from the army, and next time he wanted to get grain, grass and ordnance from the emperor, it would be difficult. ”

"However, if you don't retreat, you can't! Yuzhou's soldiers and horses can't be consumed there all the time, and the morale of the army will be greatly hit. ”

"Exactly! Looking at the letter of Pingwu Marquis Shi Wen, it is obvious that he already has plans to withdraw from the army. He was just worried about the follow-up problems, about the food, grass and ordnance. I plan to give him a promise, Pingyang County can supply grain, grass and ordnance to the soldiers and horses of Yuzhou, at the market price, and Tong Su will not be bullied. ”

"Madame is going to ......" Mr. Ji was very nervous and excited.

Yan Yunge nodded heavily, "Sir is right, the blacksmith workshop in Pingyang County was inherited from Fugui Villa, and it has accumulated enough craftsmanship and technology over the years, and the number of craftsmen is also rising. It's time to sell our ordnance and armor made in Binh Duong County, and exchange each piece of iron for money. ”

Mr. Ji was very excited and nervous, "Once you start trading ordnance and armor, the Jianzhou Imperial Court will get the news in three moments." Isn't this tantamount to a blatant rebellion? ”

Yan Yunge tapped lightly on the table, "So, I'm going to ask my husband to take a trip to Jianzhou." Pingyang County is willing to provide the imperial court with ordnance and armor, market price, and Tong Su is not bullied.

After all, buying the ordnance armor of Pingyang County is three to forty percent cheaper than the Shaofu building the ordnance armor by itself.

There are many officials in the government, from top to bottom, everyone is greedy for ink, and the cost is astronomical. ”

"Madame's hand is clearly in danger! If you are not careful, I am afraid that it will attract the northern army to attack. ”

"Therefore, Mrs. Ben is gambling on whether Xiao Chengwen dares to send troops to attack Pingyang County."

"Madame, never! Never! It is not appropriate for Binh Duong County to start a war at present, and it is important to do a good job in people's livelihood and economy first. ”

Yan Yunge said: "Sir, please listen to me, I also want to develop steadily for three or five years." However, Xiao Chengye ascended the throne and became emperor, and the situation developed too fast, and Pingyang County could no longer develop steadily.

I had to test Emperor Xiao Chengwen's attitude first, and then I began to expand my territory, striving to eat all the counties along the way from Pingyang County to the seaside. At the same time, the counties north of Binh Duong County, I also want to eat it.

If I don't start early, these territories will fall into Liu Zhang's hands sooner or later. Once it falls into the hands of Liu Zhang, I don't have the ability to grab land from the soldiers and horses of Liangzhou! ”

Mr. Ji was anxious, "Then you can't test the emperor, or even provoke the emperor." openly provoked the court and the emperor, for the sake of face, the emperor could not swallow his anger.

When the time comes, while dealing with the attack of the northern army, we must be busy grabbing territory, and there will be a shortage of troops and the result that the two ends will not be landed.

All in all, the old man thought that as long as there was no movement on the court side and he was willing to pretend to be deaf and dumb, his wife should not take the initiative to provoke. ”

Yan Yunge was silent.

She played with the charcoal in her hand, her mind flipping.

The lack of troops and Xiao Yi's delay in returning is indeed a problem.

At last......

She sighed, looking helpless.

"Sir is right, you can't go to war at both ends at the same time, in case you don't have both ends down. I have arranged for people to collect information about the surrounding counties, and when the New Year is over, I will impeach those local officials, and strive to legally justifiably seize the territory, remove those officials, and replace them with Mrs. Ben's people. If the court ignores my impeachment and refuses to remove those officials, then I will have to openly grab the territory. ”

The corners of Mr. Ji's mouth twitched, "Madam, don't be delusional about grabbing territory from the legal point of view, the court is not confused, and the emperor is not confused, it is impossible to promise you." ”

Yan Yunge immediately grinned, "Then you can only send troops and horses to openly strengthen the territory." I think that the people of the local counties would be happy to be the people of Mrs. Ben. ”
