Chapter 38: Sixty Years Ago, Sixty Years Later
In the sky above the endless yellow sand desert, two Divine Wood Flying Cranes are flying.
It's just that there are two yellow leather tents on the backs of these two Shenmu Flying Cranes, which makes the two Shenmu Flying Cranes look a little strange, and their flight speed is much slower than the usual Shenmu Flying Cranes.
The imperial envoy of a Divine Tree Flying Crane in front of her is Gao Yanan, and with her on this Divine Tree Flying Crane, there is only her father, Zhou Shoufu.
"The emperor issued a decree to give marriage, and promised Leng Qiuyu to Di Choufei. ”
Zhou Shoufu put down a small scroll in his hand, looked at Gao Yanan, and said slowly: "Besides, has the military department found anything? They should know that they must give Lin Xi and Qingluan Academy an explanation." ”
Gao Yanan shook his head heavily, "General Gu has set up a special tracking team, but all the clues have been broken, and now the only one who can be determined is that the person who interfered must be from Zhongzhou City, and before Li Kaiyun's accident, Leng Qiuyu had already been transferred back to Zhongzhou City first." The source of the appointment should come from Leng Zhennan. ”
Zhou Shoufu frowned slightly: "So it's still impossible to know whether it's Leng Zhennan or Di Choufei, or someone else." ”
Gao Yanan was silent for a moment and said, "I don't know if he can find out, but I know that he will definitely avenge Li Kaiyun." ”
Zhou Shoufu was also silent for a moment, and said very simply: "There is Ni Henian in Zhongzhou City. ”
"I know, and he knows. ”
Gao Yanan looked into his father's eyes and said softly: "So I didn't follow him, only if we are not in Zhongzhou City, he will not have a burden." ”
Zhou Shoufu looked at Gao Yanan, looking at the different divine light in Gao Yanan's eyes, he knew that his daughter had really grown up, no longer just an outstanding student of Qingluan Academy, a genius cultivator of the empire, and at the same time, she was already a wife.
He sighed softly, "It's just that you don't know what he's going to do." ”
Gao Yanan nodded, and the shadow of Li Kaiyun appeared in her mind again, and her heart hurt, because of Li Kaiyun, because of Leng Qiuyu, because of Lin Xi.
'I don't know what he's going to do, but I know he's not going to let us down. She whispered affirmatively.
......
The sun is rising.
Yun Qin is in the early dynasty.
All the court officials gathered in the Jinluan Hall were excited.
Because a few minutes ago, Feng Qianhan, the deputy director of the Zhengwu Division, had already reported a news that Tang Zang's Divine Elephant Army had announced its surrender to Yun Qin and pledged its allegiance to Emperor Yun Qin.
Especially some high-ranking high-ranking personnel who really know the combat power of the Tang Tibetan Elephant Army, they know what such news means.
In the many years that the Empress Dowager of Our Lady of Tang Tibet was in power, the Elephant Army of Tang Tibet has been in a suppressed position, so the means of cultivating Elephants have made amazing breakthroughs, but the scale of the Elephant Army is still suppressed within a certain range. Now, although the Divine Elephant Army has almost been wiped out in the Prajna Corridor, it has now become Yun Qin's army, and with the support of Yun Qin's strong national strength, its strength will definitely increase explosively.
As for the question of whether the expansion of the Divine Elephant Army will pose a threat to Yun Qin, these officials are not worried, Yun Qin is no better than Tang Zang... Many desert areas in Tang and Tibet are not suitable for ordinary horses and cavalry to march, and the transportation of grain and grass is also a problem, so it is extremely suitable for fighting in the desert area, and the elephant army that can use desert plants as food is difficult to restrain it. But there is no desert in Yunqin, there is no restriction on the march of ordinary cavalry, Yunqin is mostly cavalry legions, and there are many cultivators. In the eyes of these officials, although the Elephant Army is a tiger, it is also a tiger that has left the mountains and reached the flat ground. Such a tiger should also be afraid of hunters.
Especially after the Autumn Festival quelled the rebellion, most officials' reverence and worship for the emperor has even reached a blind point, and in their minds, there is not even a problem that the emperor can't suppress the Elephant Army.
At this moment, the majestic Emperor Yunqin on the golden dragon chair was watching a recital.
The report, handed over by the Household Affairs Officer, contains a plan, an assessment of the feasibility of the plan by the Household Department and the Home Affairs Department, and an assessment of the far-reaching significance of the contents of the plan if it is implemented.
"National debt, good idea. ”
"Now the treasury is tight, the frontline, disaster relief, everywhere needs money... It is indeed a good idea to issue bonds and let the rich people buy them, and they can get silver taels. ”
"Let the people purely pay out the silver taels, I'm afraid most people will not be willing, and it is no different from increasing taxes, but this is guided by a business like Da Dexiang, let them know that as long as Da Dexiang can survive tomorrow autumn, it will be enough to return the silver taels. A firm like Dadexiang is a guarantee, and the treasury is another guarantee. Firms like Dadexiang play an important role in stabilizing the current situation and luck, even if it is to conform to the will of the people, it is necessary to protect it. Now just in the name of a treasury, there is no need to take out a silver or two, and then the interest money is out of Dadexiang, and the people will get benefits, and they will praise the court, and after your assessment, such measures are enough to ensure that Dadexiang survives this catastrophe, and in the future, you can support similar businesses, you can also do this, this is indeed a good idea to get a vested benefit, and get a name. ”
Hearing Emperor Yun Qin's three "good ideas", all the household officials already knew that the emperor was extremely satisfied with this recital, and it was probably no problem to implement it.
"Jin Jiuling, I usually don't see anything special about you, but I didn't expect that if you don't make a sound, you will be a blockbuster, but there is such a setback, it seems that I underestimated you. Sure enough, in the next moment, Emperor Yun Qin had already looked at a middle-aged official with gray temples and a very nervous expression among the household officials, and said, "Since you proposed such a plan, this matter will be handled by you." You've been in this position for a number of years, and you've been mediocre but haven't made any mistakes, so it's time to mention it. Let me stay at the trade office for the time being. ”
Hearing Emperor Yunqin's words, most of the officials in the court had some look of amazement and envy in their eyes, the meaning of the saint is naturally to let Jin Jiuling make up for the lack of trade envoys, this is directly from Jin Jiuling's previous from the fourth grade, directly mentioned the third grade, directly promoted to the third level, and listening to the meaning of the saint, if things are done well, there is obviously a chance to improve next.
Where is Jin Jiuling's blockbuster, it is clear that Jin Jiuling has soared into the sky in the court.
Jin Jiuling shouted long live thanksgiving, but there was a layer of sweat in his vest, he just thought to himself, where did he have such a talent to come up with such an idea, this plan was sent to him by Sheng Manying, the owner of Dashenggao, but it must have been clearly from the hands of the big shopkeeper of Da Dexiang, and he was just equivalent to picking up a watermelon for nothing.
After approving more than a dozen twists and turns, he played again without a book and announced his retirement from the dynasty.
Emperor Yun Qin, who walked from the Jinluan Hall to the imperial study, was in a very good mood, and there was even a rare smile on his thin face.
Of course, he also knew very well that Lin Xi was coming towards Zhongzhou City.
It's just that the cold winter is coming, the front-line war has temporarily stopped, the Divine Elephant Army has officially surrendered, and there is suddenly a powerful force in his hands, and a business name like Da Dexiang has also helped him clean up a lot of messes, and then the situation in those provinces in the south will slowly stabilize, and the entire Yunqin Empire, which was originally somewhat disrupted... The most powerful empire in the world is slowly and completely returning to the right path, to his complete control.
Lin Xi, how can he pose a threat to this Zhongzhou City and his world?
......
There is definite information that Vice Dean Xia has not left Qingluan College.
A local army from San'in Province has completely blocked the exit of the Four Seasons Plain.
Some powerful cultivators walking in Nanling Province have also appeared on the front line of Nanling Province.
Lin Xi didn't seem to have any powerful power to rely on.
All the signs seemed to be very unfavorable to Lin Xi.
Even what he hired was just an ordinary carriage.
As a cultivator like him, can he pose any threat to Zhongzhou City, to the real big people in Zhongzhou City?
As time went by, more and more people who didn't wait for Lin Xi to show any strength felt more and more that it was not a wise choice for Lin Xi to come to Zhongzhou City at this time.
However, with the passage of time, this carriage, which was not in a hurry and traveled calmly in the winter of Yunqin, was getting closer and closer to Zhongzhou City, and finally officially arrived at the south gate of the nineteen city gate towers in Zhongzhou City.
This dusty old carriage was lined up in the queue to enter the city and clear customs.
An ordinary coachman who came here from Donglin Province also came to Zhongzhou City for the first time, looking at Zhongzhou City, where the city wall could not be seen at a glance, the eyes of this ordinary coachman were all shocked and amazed.
The middle-aged farmer-looking ordinary coachman lifted the curtain of the carriage behind him.
Lin Xi in the carriage calmly raised his head to look at the world's first male city.
It was also the first time he came to Zhongzhou City.
In front of this huge city, where there was no end in sight to the left and right, he and the carriage were as small as ants.
"What a big city!"
He uttered this sentence in a voice that only he could hear, and then stepped out of the carriage, thanked the ordinary coachman, thanked him for taking care of him all the way, and told him to say goodbye here.
Then he went forward and walked towards the gatehouse.
When he looked at the Xiongcheng that he had come to for the first time, many people in the city were also looking at him from a distance in different places.
Among the people who watched him from afar in different parts of the city, some of them were also very old men.
These old people have experienced the turmoil in the first ten years of the founding of Yunqin, at this time in their eyes, Lin Xi's expression is still very calm, and the figure alone seems a little lonely, but all the people saw the big iron box he was carrying, and then all these old people began to tremble in their hearts, and there was an illusion in their eyes, they seemed to see Dean Zhang back then, entering this city.
More than 60 years ago, Dean Zhang entered Zhongzhou City with Da Hei on his back.
More than 60 years later, Lin Xi carried the big black on his back and entered Zhongzhou City.
