Chapter 15: Sima Kong
Aoki Pass, as the first pass of the handover of the Great Feng Dynasty and the Yan Kingdom, is also the most important pass, if the Aoki Pass is broken, then the next two thousand miles will be the plain of the Pingchuan.
The richest place in the Great Feng Dynasty is also the two thousand miles of land within this Aoki Pass, and it is also the granary of the entire Great Feng Dynasty. Therefore, the Great Bong Dynasty stationed two entire group armies and 200,000 people at Aoki Pass.
On the fifth day after the emperor received the urgent report, the entire Dafeng Dynasty also knew that Chen Bing Qingmu of the Yan Kingdom was outside, and even Zuo Qian, the idle earl who was in Heishui, knew about it, not to mention the other princes and ministers.
However, after all, this is not Kyoto or Biansai, and the atmosphere of the war has not affected here, even if the Yan Kingdom enters the Aoki Pass, when it is about to hit Heishui North, it will be a few years later, and at that time Dabong will really perish, after all, even such a remote place as Heishui North has been called, do you still need to think about other places?
Sima Kong, originally a famous family in Hexi County, but later the backward generations in the family could only make a living by selling their ancestral business, and Sima Kong wanted to revitalize the Sima family, but the family was already decaying, and he was from a partial house, so he was even less able to bring the family to the road of revitalization, and finally left with his father.
Sima Kong's father and son were coincidental, on the way to Heishuibei, they happened to meet bandits going down the mountain to borrow food, so they were robbed penniless, fortunately, the bandits did not kill anyone, but the father and son couldn't run away after being beaten.
Don't look at Sima Kong's grade, but his father is an old man, so when Sima Kong was eighteen or nine years old, his father was almost sixty years old, and then he was beaten, plus he had no money to see a doctor and nothing to eat, and died on the road not long after the recurrence of the old disease.
Sima Kong, who returned to Heishui North, gradually revealed his talent, and finally was entrusted by Zuo Qian with the important task of governing Heishui North three years ago, Sima Kong also lived up to expectations, and spent three years to govern the entire Heishui in an orderly manner, and the appearance was also a big change.
Under Sima Kong's governance, Heishuibei can now be self-sufficient in grain, and there is no need to exchange it outside, and it also opens up a trade market, so that those local and foreign people can trade in Heishuibei by themselves, which also drives the economy of Heishuibei, and of course, there will be troubles.
When those bandits heard about it, they came in waves, and the result was that a group of people were crippled, and then no bandits dared to come to the former Heishui Bazaar and now Heishui Town, and Sima Kong's also told Zuo Qian that if he was given ten years, he would turn Heishui Town into Heishui City.
After having Sima Qian, Zuo Qian was almost no longer managing internal affairs, but he still let Chen Mianmian supervise, and this Sima Kong did not live up to Zuo Qian, not only governed the territory in an orderly manner, but also never heard of Sima Kong having anything to be sorry for Zuo Qian.
Zuo Qian is not a pedantic person, if Sima Kong really wants to be greedy, Zuo Qian will not object, this proves that Sima Kong still has weaknesses, and it will be easier to control in the future, if Sima Kong really has no weaknesses at all, then Zuo Qian is thinking about whether he should change one in the future.
In addition to being capable, Sima Kong is also a very politically minded person, and he also knows the twists and turns in it, so if someone sends him money, he will accept it and not shirk it, but will report it to Zuo Qian, every time Zuo Qian heard Sima Kong say this to himself, Zuo Qian smiled and said: "These are what you deserve."
Of course, Sima Kong can't take it all seriously, he only accepts money from others to bribe him, and he doesn't move a cent of the money in the territory, if it is too precious, he will give it to Zuo Qian, if Zuo Qian doesn't want it, he will keep it himself.
Zuo Qian, who came down from the training ground, returned to the City Lord's Mansion, asked his subordinates to fry a few dishes, and then went to Sima Kong to come to the City Lord's Mansion.
When Sima Kong came to the City Lord's Mansion, the crescent moon was popping up, and the stars in the sky blinked from time to time, as bright and energetic as a child's eyes.
"Lao Si, it's busier than me all day, and if you want to have a drink with you, I have to wait for you," Zuo Qian said jokingly.
Sima Kong also understands Zuo Qian's temperament, and he doesn't really think about the meaning inside, if he really thinks about it, Sima Kong is not Sima Kong.
Hearing Zuo Qian shouting himself, Sima Kong corrected again: "I am surnamed Sima, not Si, please don't call it wrong in the future."
"Haha, wouldn't it be more ugly if you call Old Sima?" Zuo Qian said to Sima Kong like a child.
Hearing this, Sima Kong didn't bother with Zuo Qian, but just said very seriously: "It's okay, as long as you don't call Xiao Si."
The two talked about making trouble, and before they knew it, they drank several glasses in a row, and Zuo Qian said, "By the way, Lao Si, do you have a partner?"
Sima Kong snorted, drank the wine in the cup first, and said: "My father-in-law said it, and he will arrange one for me in the future."
"By the way, what are you doing here? Do you still have sisters and sisters?"
Glancing at Sima Kong, who was a little drunk, Zuo Qian said: "Don't dream, if I really have a sister or something, I won't marry you, besides, Uncle Chen treats you better than me, and I will start looking for a daughter-in-law for you."
Sima Kong, who raised the corners of his mouth slightly, said: "That's right, my life was saved by my father-in-law."
However, Zuo Qian is not seen, Chen Mianmian has discussed with Zuo Qian about accepting Sima Kong as his righteous son, Chen Mianmian just wants Sima Kong to assist Zuo Qian more attentively, so he moved this idea, if Sima Kong really has any problems at that time, Chen Mianmian will not hesitate to cut off Sima Kong's head.
Chen Mianmian's loyalty, Zuo Qian will never doubt it, or that sentence: Zuo Qian can not believe in himself, nor will he not believe in Chen Mianmian. It can be seen that Chen Mianmian's position in his heart cannot be replaced by others.
Sima Kong's eyes purred, and he asked Zuo Qian a question: "What do you mean by the word intercession?"
Hearing Sima Kong say this, Zuo Qian didn't know how to answer.
"What are you such a big bachelor asking me for?" Zuo Qian asked very flatly.
It may be the effect of alcohol, Sima Kong also said a little boldly: "Even if it's a matter of the elder brother taking the younger brother's test."
Seeing Zuo Qian's not very friendly eyes, Sima Kong said again: "What kind of eyes are you?
Zuo Qian nodded and didn't speak.
"Then let's hear it," Sima Kong's mouth full of wine sprayed on Zuo Qian's face.
"Okay, I'll tell my eldest brother to hear my opinion"
"There is no friendship in the world that is not full of holes, whether it is affection, friendship, or love. At the beginning of every relationship, there is a reason for its existence, and at the end there is also the inevitable end of it! Do not do to others what you would not do to yourself, and if you have not experienced other people's lives, you are not qualified to judge other people's feelings. Of course, if you watch the excitement with a gossip heart, it doesn't hurt to say what is right and wrong. Listening to Zuo Qian's breath and saying so much, Sima Kong also nodded.
"Incisive" Sima didn't talk much, and after saying these two words, there was a glass of wine.
The two of them chatted and drank until midnight, and then went back to their respective rooms with the help of the servants.
Sima Kong also lived in the City Lord's Mansion, but sometimes he also lived on a construction site outside of Blackwater Town.
The two of them didn't look drunk, but they knew very well in their hearts, and they returned to the room with their own thoughts, lying on the bed and thinking about the problem.
A piece of moonlight sprinkled in the dark room, making the room where there were no fingers suddenly have a more holy taste.
At the same time, the two of them, both with round eyes, are thinking about the same question, that is, what kind of person the other party is.
Zuo Qian, who was on the bed, was a little confused by the effect of alcohol, but it was also very clear, a very contradictory mode of thinking, he thought of the question Sima Kong asked today, and he could see that Sima Kong was a person who valued love and righteousness.
And Sima Kong was also thinking about this problem, Zuo Qian's words gave him a feeling of seeing the sun, since the person who could say this must not be an ungrateful person.
