Chapter 673: The Grain Robbery Tragedy (18)
Yang Tian and the three of them only stayed in Zhenbei City for half a day, and then returned.
Because Yan Yin told them that the imperial monarch had passed away a few months ago, and the crown prince had already ascended the throne, the three of them, as hardcore supporters of Fengyun's success, naturally needed to go back to help him as soon as possible.
Sending Yang Fan away and them, Yan Yin returned to the general's mansion,
Lin Qing'er set up a table of side dishes in the backyard, beckoned Yan Yin to sit down, and then said with a smile, "Because it's nothing, I specially got some side dishes, you can taste it and see if it suits your liking." ”
Looking at the simple and delicate dishes on the stone table, Yan Yin sat down and picked up the chopsticks and ate them happily, saying while eating, "As long as it is Qing'er, the dishes you make are all I like to eat." ”
With a playful smile, Lin Qing'er sat beside Yan Yin, propped her chin and looked at him, "Yang Fan, are what they said true?" ”
Although Lin Qing'er did not appear in the hall, she was a martial king after all, and every move in the general's mansion could not escape her ears and eyes.
Nodding, Yan Yin took out a pot of jade pot wine, poured a cup for Lin Qing'er and poured a glass for herself, took a sip and said, "The Yang family and the Ling family jointly funded to assist us in digging the giant river, and the other two families will use their financial resources and connections to mobilize grain and grass from all over the country to the army, and our price is to give the two families 10,000 ghost wolves, and then send troops south into the territory of the empire." ”
After thinking for a while, Lin Qing'er held the wine glass and said, "Ten thousand ghost wolves shouldn't be a difficult thing, you have already done it by sending troops south, with the financial resources of the Yang family and the Ling family, you can support the excavation of the giant river, but in this way, it doesn't seem to be of any benefit to the two families." ”
"It doesn't seem good now, but it will be big in the future. "Yan Yin and Lin Qing'er touched a cup and said" After all, the Yang family and the Ling family are just business groups, if Fengyun Xiao really wants to do it, then the Yang family and the Ling family will inevitably be his first choice, although the two families are wealthy, but in this world of great contention, strength is everything, they chose to stand on the side of Fengyun Success, and Fengyun Success did not have enough strength to protect them, so as long as they curry favor with Beijiang and get the help of my Northern Xinjiang army, the two major families will have a chance to continue to prosper, otherwise, the destruction is only in the blink of an eye, these two families have something to do with Qingyun Peak, plus they are here to help Beijiang, I naturally will not refuse, when I was in the Wild City, I also had an agreement with them, and now they are doing it, but the fulfillment of the agreement. ”
Saying that, Yan Yin thought of something, put down the wine glass and said, "But it's not the time to send the ghost wolf, only after the matter of Qingyan is thoroughly investigated and resolved, One Piece and Sword Turtle have already led the army out of the northern frontier, plus Uncle Nangong's sitting, I think Fengyun Chenggong should be able to settle down." ”
Looking at Yan Yin, Lin Qing'er hesitated for a moment, then put down her wine glass and looked at Yan Yin and said seriously, "Yin, have you ever thought about establishing your own Northern Frontier outside the Fengyun Empire." ”
Hearing this, Yan Yin was stunned for a moment,
Looking at Lin Qing'er, her eyes revealed seriousness and affirmation,
Drinking the jade pot wine in the wine glass, Yan Yin said, "Qing'er, do you remember the story of Emperor Tangwu that I told you." ”
Nodding, Lin Qing'er said, "Remember, the love story between Emperor Tang Wu and the ancestor of the lovers is very poignant. ”
"It's poignant indeed. Yan Yin stood up, looked up at the big tree in the courtyard and said slowly, "Rights, sometimes can bring people unlimited scenery and prestige, rights, sometimes it will bring honor and satisfaction, but more, rights will only bring people ** and endless greed, and finally lead to the loss of many more valuable things, so as to regret for life like Emperor Tang Wu." ”
Putting his hands behind his back, Yan Yin whispered, "From the beginning, I never thought of being a person in power, even if I mastered Northern Xinjiang, but I handed over the government affairs of Northern Xinjiang to Mo Ruthless and Uncle Grant, and handed over the army to the pirate brothers, what I want to give to Northern Xinjiang is more of a kind of autonomy and harmony, if I have any pursuit, it may be that I once told my father to create a sect that belongs to the martial arts." ”
Turning to look at Lin Qing'er, Yan Yin stretched out his hand and pointed to the big tree in the courtyard. You see this big tree, it has a lot of branches, so it grows very luxuriantly and can shade this small courtyard, but relatively, it is not so tall compared to other trees, so it can only grow in this courtyard, not like the giant tree of the giant clan, towering into the sky, the right is like the branches on the big tree, the more branches, the more miscellaneous the tree looks, and finally it is impossible to distinguish where the main pole and the pole are, if you cut the unnecessary branches on the big tree frequently, let it grow towards the higher sky, then it will eventually become bigger and bigger, people are the same, the right is too big, the more things it will load, and in the endI forgot what I wanted in the first place. ”
Lin Qing'er lowered her head and pondered for a while, then raised her head and sighed, "Maybe I have been the city lord in the third city of Fengyun for a long time, so I am used to the thoughts of those in power, and the lieutenant general will not hesitate to give up the supreme power in his hands after he is defeated by my father, maybe it is the same as you." ”
Smiling slightly, Yan Yin sat down beside Lin Qing'er, gently took her into her arms and said, "I don't want to be another Emperor Tang Wu, nor will I be another lieutenant general, right, it's just a stepping stone for me to achieve something, if one day I don't need it, I can let go like a lieutenant general without hesitation, for me, caring for me and the people I love is more important than the so-called right and land." ”
As he spoke, Yan Yinmu said with his wings, "My greatest wish is that one day, when I successfully create a sect belonging to a martial artist and let it stand tall in the world, I will take you around the world to see the magnificence of the mountains and rivers in this world." ”
Leaning quietly in Yan Yin's arms, Lin Qing'er whispered, "You're right, power and status are not everything, only a happy life with your beloved is the most beautiful thing." ”
Power, wealth, fame and fortune are just passing clouds,
Even if he once sat on thousands of miles of mountains and rivers, and held thousands of soldiers and horses in his hands, he was admired by people all over the world, but in the end he was only drowned by the heroes of later generations.
If people always strive for more things in their lives, then they will have no time to look at the beautiful scenery around them.
Three days later, Ye Qingchen found the mandate and brought it back to Zhenbei City.
Yan Yin had a long talk with the order, talked about the grain robbery tragedy, and also talked about the current shortage of grain and grass in Northern Xinjiang, and finally said, "I have reached an agreement with the Yang family and the Ling family, they will help buy grain from the empire and send it to Northern Xinjiang, but during this period, grain and grass must be obtained from those caravans and the hands of major families." ”
Looking at Yan Yin, he frowned and said, "What do you mean?" ”
Facing the gaze of the grant, Yan Yin said slowly, "In addition to Zhenbei City, the city lords of other cities need to be replaced, as for the major families, the current empire is an eventful time, if there are too many moths in the northern Xinjiang, it is easy to affect the stability of the northern Xinjiang." ”
Nodding his head, he gave the order, "I understand, then I'll do it, but there are tens of thousands of cities in Northern Xinjiang, and if each city is replaced, I can't find so many talents for a while, so according to my meaning, I might as well replace the big city lord near the seven main roads first, and as for the other cities, wait until the giant river is dug and completed, and then plan." ”
"Well, Uncle Mandate can do what he thinks he wants to do, and you can decide the specific affairs. Yan Yin opened his mouth and said, "I have already asked Uncle Xueli and them to return to Northern Xinjiang, and if they need anything at that time, please ask Uncle Xue to do his best to cooperate with them." ”
"Okay, that's no problem. "But if Mu Shi's position as a general is withdrawn, then have you ever thought about who will command his army?" ”
After a deep groan, Yan Yin said, "I want to hand him over to Brother Horseshoe Crab, he has good ability, and he and One Piece are all sworn brothers, and they are people I can trust, so it is very suitable for the five of them to be in charge of the black-clothed army." ”
"Horseshoe crabs. He thought for a moment and said, "Well, he is indeed a good candidate, so be it, then so be it, I will deal with the matter of grain and grass immediately, otherwise the delay in the construction of Juhe will be small, and the starvation of the people will be serious." ”
Nodding, Yan Yin said, "Well, then there is Uncle Lao." ”
Shortly after the order to leave, Du Hu came to the general's mansion again,
"Commander, it has been investigated clearly, the Su family did not directly participate in the purchase of grain in this incident, but lent money to the major families for them to act. Looking at Yan Yin, Du Hu said, "So the Su family didn't stock up on grain." ”
Yan Yin was stunned for a moment, and then sneered, "This Su Xipo is a little capable, no wonder he can be the head of the Su family, he doesn't contribute money, and the means of planning behind the scenes are really good, but since he took out the money, don't think about taking it out." ”
Looking at Du Hu, Yan Yin ordered, "You immediately ask the people with black pupils to cooperate with the action of the general, and investigate every family involved in this grain hoarding incident, how to deal with it, and the general has his own decision." ”
"Yes. After Du Hu received the order, he immediately left and began to prepare to carry out Yan Yin's order.
Soon after Du Hu left, Duan Sanchi came to the door,
"Commander, the city lord of Mo has already put Su Xipo away. Looking at Yan Yin, Duan Sanchi said, "However, City Lord Mo has already asked Guan Xiang to abolish Su Xipo's strength." ”
Hearing the news, Yan Yin was silent for a while, and then said, "It's okay to be wasted, only by being an ordinary person can you understand the life and feelings of ordinary people, by the way, are they okay with Guan Xiang." ”
Nodding, Duan Sanchi said, "It's all good, the three of them have adapted to it, and they are currently following me to assist the Mo City Lord in his work." ”
While he was talking, Ye Qingchen came to the hall,
"Hello ma'am. Duan Sanchi bowed his hand respectfully and said,
With a slight bow, Ye Qingchen looked at Yan Yin and whispered, "Senior Uncle Hanqing is here." ”
After waving back three feet, Yan Yin came to the backyard,
Lin Qing'er was chatting with Xia Hanqing, while the god of fire was flying up and down on Xia Hanqing's body.
"Xiaohuo, don't frolic, this is Qingyun Peak's Xia Hanqing uncle. Ye Qingchen scolded at the Fire God, "Come back quickly." ”
"Oh" The fire god responded, and then turned into a red light and did not enter Ye Qingchen's body,
Looking at Xia Hanqing, Yan Yin said in a condensed voice, "Uncle Hanqing, is there a result?" ”
Nodding, Xia Hanqing said, "Duan Yan has already investigated the truth, and the others are now in Su Mansion, let me come over in advance to report the situation to you." ”
"Sioux House. Yan Yin's eyes froze, and he faintly began to have some bad premonitions,
