Chapter 596: Famous, True
Yan Liqiang's head was a little stunned for a while, for others, the imperial court gave himself a county, this is a huge favor that fell from the sky, he must be happy and happy, it is too late to thank him, where will he think about it, but for Yan Liqiang, in the face of this kind of pie-in-the-sky good thing, the first question that comes to his mind is - why did His Majesty the Emperor and Sun Bingchen have so much confidence in themselves and dare to place such a heavy bet on themselves?
Giving the title of Qiyun Governor, the honor of a heavenly craftsman, and even a knighthood, this is actually not a matter for the imperial court, at least it is not a great thing, but to separate Pingxi County from Ganzhou, change its name to Qiyun County, and assign a county to the jurisdiction of Qiyun Governor's Mansion, this is a big deal, how can he make His Majesty the Emperor and Sun Bingchen so important? Could it be that the assassination of Lin Qingtian in the imperial capital was known to His Majesty the Emperor and Sun Bingchen, and this is a reward for his meritorious deeds? But no, the matter of going to the imperial capital is so secret, how can others know about it. And now Lin Qingtian is not dead, what's going on?
"Liqiang, have you finished reading?" Just as Yan Liqiang frowned and thought, Liang Yijie, who had taken a sip of tea gently, spoke.
Yan Liqiang looked at the look on Liang Yijie's face, and knew that Liang Yijie already knew the content of the letter, "Did Master Sun and Brother Liang talk about the things in the letter?"
"Before I came, Master Sun had already explained to me!"
"I don't understand, why can Your Majesty and Lord Sun rest assured that such a big thing can be entrusted to me to do!" Yan Liqiang took a deep breath and looked at Liang Yijie, "Brother Liang face to face, I don't say any nonsense, I ask myself, although I have a little ability and a little foundation in Pingxi County, but to make Pingxi County independent and completely hand it over to me, and sit on the real power of Qi Yun, who was in name only, I feel ...... I feel that Your Majesty and Lord Sun seem to be too risky, and I am afraid that it will be difficult for me to take on this important task!"
"Hehe, if others encounter this kind of good thing of being promoted and making a fortune, they must be so excited that they are incoherent at this time, where will they refuse, only you are polite, and you are still thinking about this kind of thing at this time!"
Yan Liqiang said with a straight face, "Brother Liang, you should know that this kind of thing is not so important to me, my current net worth will not be spent in ten lifetimes, I have nothing else to do, but this matter has a great responsibility, and it is related to the lives of countless people around me, if I don't ask clearly, I can't sleep well!"
Liang Yijie smiled, "Sure enough, as Lord Sun expected, when Lord Sun came, he told me, Liqiang, you must be walking on thin ice when you encounter this, not overjoyed." Perhaps because of this, Your Majesty and Lord Sun are relieved to entrust this important task to you. In the eyes of His Majesty and Lord Sun, the current situation on the Gulang Grassland is the most suitable for you to deal with......"
"Why?"
"You also know the current situation in the imperial capital, the imperial court is now too busy to take care of itself, and it is completely free to take care of the affairs of the Gulang grassland, before the Gulang grassland was occupied by the seven departments of the Shatu, and the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty can still deceive themselves and regard the Gulang grassland as the territory of our Han Empire, and they are all birds buried in their heads, but now, the black people have rushed to the Gulang grassland, and the seven departments of the Shatu are fighting hotly, such a big thing, the civil and military of the Manchu Dynasty can no longer pretend to be blind, and before Lin Qingtian in order to instigate the matter of sending troops to the Gulang grassland, he has already exaggerated the matter of the Gulang grassland everywhere, created enough momentum, and made the public opinion turbulent, and now His Majesty has regained the authority of the imperial courtIf Lord Sun enters the cabinet, if he completely ignores the affairs of the Gulang Grassland and allows the Black Men to run rampant on the Gulang Grassland, how do you say that the people will talk about His Majesty and His Majesty? How will His Majesty and His Majesty serve the public? For His Majesty and His Lord, this is also a dilemma, on the one hand, the imperial court is temporarily unable to intervene, but on the other hand, it has to intervene, if you are Your Majesty and Your Majesty, what will you do?" Liang Yi looked at Yan Liqiang brightly.
Facing Liang Yijie's gaze, Yan Liqiang only frowned slightly, silently thinking about the position and ideas of the two in the analyst Emperor Jingcheng, Liang Yijie continued to talk to himself.
"In fact, before I came to the northwest, Lord Sun had discussed various possibilities with His Majesty, the current situation, if the imperial court sent a capable person to the northwest to pass through the Gulang grassland, that person has no foundation in the northwest, and if he wants to make a difference, he will inevitably work hard and move the people, spend countless money, toss the northwest ground people on their backs, and the northwest of the state Thorn Shi County guard to make the relationship tense, and it may not be effective, in the end, the Gulang grassland has not been recovered, but the northwest has been messed up, the court is already chaotic enough, whether it is Your Majesty or the Lord does not want the northwest to be chaotic again, this point of etiquette should be able to understand!”
Yan Liqiang nodded and pondered for a moment, "Well, Lord Sun and His Majesty are indeed not wrong to think so, the matter of the Gulang Grassland is indeed not something that can be solved by sending a senior official to the northwest, if the Black Capricorn and the Seven Divisions of Shatu are so easy to solve, the imperial court will not have to wait until now!"
"That's it, like Lin Qingtian, it is definitely not possible for the imperial court to send a large army into the Gulang Grassland to shed blood for the seven divisions of the sand tutu, and it will do more harm than good to send a big man to the northwest, if you send a peacemaker with too little ability to come to the northwest, it will not be able to turn up the slightest wind and waves, just to make people see jokes, Your Majesty and your lord are also after considering various possibilities, only to find that in this situation, the imperial court resets the Qiyun Governor's Mansion, based on Pingxi County, and let Liqiang you sit on the position of Qiyun Governor, which is the best choice to advance and retreat!"
"Really?" Yan Liqiang smiled bitterly and rubbed his face.
"Liqiang, you don't have to be humble, Liqiang, think about it, you were originally the Qiyun superintendent appointed by the imperial court, the envoy of the Northwest Dangkou, he is a native of Ganzhou, not an outsider, he has an outstanding reputation in the northwest, he is famous, and he is good friends with local officials, easy to communicate, has a deep foundation in Pingxi County, there are disciples everywhere in the Archery Society, and there is the world's first factory and manufacturing bureau to make money, righteousness, prestige, connections, and money are not lacking, you are sitting in this position at the moment, it is just logical, think about it yourself, is it not in addition to you, the entire Han Empire, where can you find such a suitable person?”
"The northwestern states have a history of assassination, strength and prestige, and they are not lacking, and there are people under them who are rich, such as Lei Sitong, isn't it okay?"
"Of course not, the Northwest states originally had the same status and authority, and now they suddenly let a Thorn History rise to the top, give it heavy power, and distinguish it from other Thorn History, other Thorn History will inevitably be dissatisfied, and it is easy to have internal friction, and this is also incompatible with the imperial court system, messing up the rules of the imperial court, if the Thorn History has no merit, it will be fine, but if there is really merit and the Gulang Grassland has been recovered, wouldn't it be a big tail, and it will be a trouble to raise tigers, how could Your Majesty and your Excellency make such a stupid move!
"Why do you hear Brother Liang say this, I feel as if I can't do this thing?"
"Hahaha, that's of course!" Liang Yijie laughed, "Besides, at this moment, most of Pingxi County is almost Li Qiang you, not to mention your Yan'an Fort, that is Pingxi City, even in the Imperial Capital City, Your Majesty and Lord Sun have heard that after driving away those Shatu people gathered in the city, Li Qiang You have a lot of money, and you actually bought half of the land of Pingxi City in one go to prepare for reconstruction, which is jaw-dropping......"
"Ah, Your Majesty and Your Excellency know this?" Yan Liqiang was a little surprised.
"The imperial court naturally has eyes and ears in the local area, and the Shatu people in Pingxi City have made such a big move, how can Your Majesty and your Excellency not know about it? Maybe Your Majesty and Lord Sun thought, since you already have such a force in Pingxi County, it is better to give you the entire Pingxi County, and let you justifiably go to the Shatu and the Black Bucks, in this way, set up the Qiyun Governor's Mansion, the imperial court will have an explanation internally, and you will be the Qiyun Governor, and you can make the northwest not chaotic, this posture of the imperial court is put out, and it also deters the Black Buck people and the Shatu Seven Divisions, so why not do it?"
Yan Liqiang was stunned, "That cut Pingxi County out of Ganzhou, this is to cut the meat on Lei Sitong, can Lei Sitong agree?"
"If there is no suitable exchange condition, of course Lei Sitong does not agree, but if the conditions are right, Lei Sitong will naturally not refuse, after all, although Lei Sitong is the assassin of Ganzhou, this Ganzhou is not his personal property, but His Majesty and the court!"
"What conditions does the imperial court give to Lei Sitong?"
"The imperial court exempted Ganzhou from paying taxes for five years, and after five years, Ganzhou only needs to pay 80% of the taxes, and the remaining 20% can be intercepted by Ganzhou for its own use, and then increased by 2% year by year, that is to say, after 15 years, Ganzhou needs to pay taxes normally, in addition, some of the ground and mountainous areas of the junction of Ganzhou and Lanzhou and other states are all under the jurisdiction of Ganzhou!"
"No comments on other stabs?"
"Those places that don't matter are originally under the jurisdiction of no one, and at this time, Your Majesty is back in charge of the imperial court and is cleaning up Lin Qingtian and his party, who dares to make Your Majesty unhappy!"
