Chapter 100: Doing Business with a Purpose

However, there is more opposition and less support, after all, one punch is hard to beat ten hands.

For a long time, he hated the military tent and disdained to be in the company of such people who did not talk about equality and only talked about dignity and inferiority.

Eight months later. Seeing that the Yellow River widening project was over, Xue Shangshu was fine, and he angrily found Xue Shangshu. took out the Wangyun IOU, and wanted to resign from the military and continue to do business.

Xue Shangshu was surprised when he saw that the IOU was actually one hundred taels of horseshoe gold and five hundred taels of silver.

With such a huge amount of data, when the war is over, it should be disposed of immediately and submitted to the household department for settlement.

Now that the war has passed, where can we find to settle the accounts? Xue Tantu told the truth, according to the order of the dynasty, the officials and the war expenses, and those who do not receive the accounts, do not settle the accounts, and do not speak for more than how much time they do not count.

Hu Zhen smiled indifferently and said: "Subordinates and Changdu bosom friends, such gold and silver, subordinates are willing to donate." Changdu was killed in battle, and the coach forcibly pushed the IOU with me for Wangxiao. Today, the two marshals are dead, if the court says that there is no money, the subordinates will never want it again. If the court says it doesn't count, Lang'er and others can win Kong Meng, come and try to kill me?"

Xue Shangshu and the three dealers of Chaoge have a good relationship, and they know that the dealers can kill cowardice and have good credit. I also know that he is a well-known rare treasure dealer, and he must be very different from the credit of all walks of life.

Between credit, how can I not know that the comparison between Confucius and Mencius and the dormitory dealer is the comparison between cow hair and giant elephant, and the difference between dust and praise of the father. Don't get the court to suppress him, which one can be cleaned up, and hurriedly said his thoughts.

Xue Ping said: "For today's plan, I have to deduce that Wangxiao will destroy the hole IOU, and the commander will die in battle and leave a wartime IOU. The person who lent did not understand the customization of the imperial account, so he took it out and looked at the Son of Heaven to settle the account. ā€

Hu Zhen agreed. Xue Tantu used these words to report to the court.

Yuan and the Son of Heaven received Xue Ping's recital and asked how the household department handled it.

The household department was very surprised, and it has not been settled for so long, and the branch has already been settled.

caused the household department to be extremely dissatisfied, so they tracked down Hu Zhenqi.

The subordinate officials of the household department checked Hu Zhen's background, but he was a merchant in Baima County.

And Xue Shangshu actually used the merchant as a general to enter the official career, which is a serious violation of the ban. Thanks to Xue Ping, who had been a guard of the Southern Yasu for 30 years, many officials in the household department were friendly with him, and they did not dare to report directly to the branch, but secretly presented the Son of Heaven.

When Yuan and the Son of Heaven were still the crown prince, Xue Ping was a servant. As the Son of Heaven, how can I not know what a crime it is to hire a merchant. After thinking about it for a while, I still protected Xue Ping.

After all, Xianzong Li Chun is the master of Zhongxing, and his brain is flexible.

He kept silent about Xue Ping's misuse of businessmen. What's more, the day before yesterday, he also enshrined the three vendors of Chaoge as gods, and Wu Zhou had a precedent. simply praised Hu Zhen for sharing worries for the country. A special decree was issued to release him back to his hometown, and he was also given a gold medal "Rare Treasure God Dealer", and when he was allowed to sell, the tax was completely exempted from Laba until Chinese New Year's Eve.

Hu Zhen thanked Lord Longen, and thanked Xue Shangshu for his kindness, and said goodbye to Wang Lingtong and others. returned to his hometown of Shatang Village, Baima County, and continued to be his rare treasure dealer.

With the gold medal with him, he was spared on the way and some taxes were exempted. The rare treasures that are sold, can be sold on weekdays, can not be sold, all to the Chao Ge Laba will come to sell.

The Eight Meetings of Chao Ge La are also duty-free New Year's fairs since Wu Zetian. The tax-free period allowed by the edict is precisely the period of Laba Society. Chao Kaji City saw the gold medal and edict, and the booth fee was waived.

In the past three years, he has earned tens of thousands.

Three years later, the new emperor Li Heng succeeded to the throne and changed the yuan. In the first year of Changqing of the Tang Dynasty (821), there was still an incident.

This day was the twentieth day of the winter month of the first year of Changqing, and I was just about to have breakfast.

Wanglingtong rushed all the way to Shatang Village. After inquiry, he went straight to Hu Zhen's house. Hu Zhen happened not to go out, so he hurriedly caught it. Seeing that Sima was covered in blood, Hu Zhen was so shocked that he suddenly sat on the ground.

In the past, in the army, thanks to the care of Gao Zhixian and nephews, after six years, why did he look like this.

Wang Lingtong pulled Hu Zhen up and knelt down on one knee: "Xue Shangshu asked me to ask for help." ā€

When Hu Zhen heard Xue Shangshu's words, he immediately burst into tears, and hurriedly helped Gao Zhi up and went to the inner hall to speak.

However, it was said that Xue Ping had been in Qingzhou for two years since he was appointed as the envoy of the Pinglu Festival. The imperial court has long been nervous about the local festival town. Those who are truly loyal to the imperial court, once they make a slight mistake, they are suspected of rebellion.

In order to make the court let go of a hundred hearts, the Jin Tan Huss generals selected in the past, except for Mu Yu and Mu Zi Shu Ding, did not bring any others. Mu Yu was also brought by Wanglingtong, after all, they are husband and wife. Of course, the eldest son Xue Guang and the second son Xue Wenfan are indispensable, and his brother accompanied his father to take office.

The territory of Qingzhou lasted for 57 years under the rule of Li Shidao and his father, and passed through his grandfather Li Zhengji, father Li Na, and brother Li Shigu. When it came to Li Shidao, the generals and local officials in the army were all placed by the Li family.

Although the imperial court pacified Li Shidao, in fact, the ground was leveled, and Li Shidao's influence continued to exist. This is very different from the Zheng slippery ground controlled by the Yicheng Army. If it were to be replaced in one fell swoop, the place would most likely rebel again. It is necessary to gradually digest the personnel relations involved.

Xue Ping adopted Wanglingtong's Taoist method of governance, doing nothing but doing nothing. The strategy adopted is to stabilize the past, change secretly, gradually drift away, and achieve great change into invisibility. Therefore, for Li Shidao's original ubiquitous personnel, it is basically unchanged.

At this time, the southwest is the Tianping Festival, and the south is the Taining Festival, both of which are the original Li Shidao territory, after the destruction of Li Shidao, they are all controlled by the imperial court, and the threat is not big.

The Pinglu area controlled by Xue Ping, to the northwest of which was Wei Bo's army. It turned out that it had been controlled by Tian Hongzheng, and because of the joint construction of the river, there should not be much of a threat.

To the north is the Chengde Festival. Last year, Wang Chengzong died of illness, and Emperor Xianzong transferred Tian Hongzheng to serve as the envoy of Jiedu. It still seems to echo Xue Ping, and the imperial court completely controls this area of feudal towns.

That's exactly where the problem lies. Chengde Jiedu has always been controlled by Wang Chengzong's family for generations. Grandfather Wang Wujun and father Wang Shizhen, until the death of Wang Chengzong, three generations controlled the ground of Chengde for 38 years.

At this time, the person who did not call Wang Chengzong to inherit, but let Tian Hongzheng take care of it. And Tian Hongzheng once crusaded against Wang Chengzong's rebellion, and the children of the Wang family were bound to take revenge.

Sure enough, after Wang Chengzong's death, the generals pushed his brother Wang Chengyuan to take over as Chengde Army.

Wang Chengyuan was loyal to the imperial court, did not accept it, and secretly played the Son of Heaven and let Tian Hongzheng take over.

The new emperor Changqing Tianzi is desperate, Tian Hongzheng is here.

However, Wang Chengyuan's soldiers and horses in the teeth made Wang Shuzheng look down on Tian Hongzheng and secretly tried to kill him.

Wang Shuzheng is not the descendant of Wang Chengzong and Wang Chengyuan's brothers, but his great-grandfather was once the adopted son of Wang Wujun, and his surname has been Wang since then. The Absi Ministry, who was actually born in Hui, belonged to the Andong Metropolitan Protectorate.

This man has great ambitions, but he is calm and silent. Therefore, his outburst caught people off guard.

Last year, Tian Hongzheng went out of the town to become a German army. It's not that he didn't take precautions, he brought two thousand Weizhou soldiers to Yamen pro-army, and Wang Shuzheng had no way to start.

In June this year, Tian Hongzheng thought that he was stable and sent back the Weizhou army. On the night of 28 July, Wang Shuzheng gathered his soldiers to shout and clamor outside the government office, and when it was almost dawn, he killed Tian Hongzheng, his generals, and more than 300 family members. From then on, he led the German army to rebel against the imperial court.

Today, the Son of Heaven in Changqing was furious, with Pei Du as the commander, and ordered the neighboring provinces and armies to encircle and suppress Wang Shuzheng.

At the same time, Tian Hongzheng's son, Tian Bu, the envoy of Jingyuan Jiedu, was appointed to replace Li Yu, who was appointed as the envoy of Wei Bojiedu, and led Wei Bo's army to attack Wang Shuzheng.

He also appointed Niu Yuanyi, the old department of Wang Chengzong's old department, as the envoy of the Chengde Army, and rewarded Wang Shuzheng with the first rank.

But Wang Shuzheng is very capable of fighting, no matter how the surrounding armies fight, they can't defeat him. He also wanted to grab the states and counties that had been controlled by the German army, and sent troops to Dizhou after the spring.

This state was Xue Ping's northern neighbor of the Pinglu Army, and it had long been dedicated to the imperial court by Wang Chengzong, and the Son of Heaven appointed Wang Ji as the assassin of Dizhou.

Li Heng, the son of Changqing, hurriedly ordered Xue Ping to send troops. Xue Tantu sent Li Shushan, the general of the Pinglu army, to lead 2,000 troops to Dizhou for defense. And the assassin Wang Ji was short of military supplies, and the sergeants were angry. In early November, 2,000 soldiers fled by night. Li Shushan saw Xue Ping without face, and went to another country without a trace.

The sergeant pushed the team again to Zhengma Yin Shan [yĆ­

Led by the banner, under the banner of "looking for Wang Ji and eating white rice", he quickly gathered 7,000 miscellaneous soldiers from all over the country. turned to the banner of "looking for Xue Ping, asking for rewards and punishments", and approached Qingzhou, where Xue Ping was sitting. There were few soldiers in the city of Qingzhou, and there was not enough resistance.

At first glance, it seems that the problem lies in the lack of military supplies for Wang Ji, the assassin of Dizhou, which is indeed a fact. Wang Ji is a playboy in Chang'an, and he was sent to be a assassin, so he didn't have that ability. However, how can a small team in Ma Yin Mountain have such great appeal?

This matter has to start with the death of Li Shidao.

Li Shidao was cut down by his subordinates Liu Wushan the year before last, and since then, the twelve states under the jurisdiction of the Lu Army in Ziqing Ping have all been owned by the imperial court and have been divided into three. Liu Wushan is also one of the eighteen mountain gods of Ziqing.

Emperor Xianzong rewarded Liu Wushan, inspected the school and the Ministry of Engineering, and served as the imperial historian, the envoy of the Yicheng Army, and the king of Pengcheng County. Let him take over Xue Ping's territory. Xue Ping moved to Ziqing Pinglu and divided his family.

It just so happened that there were the original four mountain gods Ningwu Mountain, Xiangchun Mountain, Yu Qingshan, and Jiechuan Mountain in the Yicheng army, plus twenty Jin Tan Huss generals, all of whom were good generals brought out by Xue Ping.

At the beginning of this year, Li Heng, the son of Changqing, ascended the throne and asked Liu Wushan to move to Luzhou, and served as the envoy of the Zhaoyi Army and the affairs of Pingzhang. is the same prime minister.

These eighteen mountain gods were beheaded by Fan Dan and Li Feibi at the Lutun Wharf of the canal, Niu Zhang Mountain, Yang Mountain, Geng Kai Mountain, and Ling Kunshan. Now except for Ma Yinshan, who is not doing well, they are all serious generals, and they even make festivals.

If you want to say, Ma Yin Mountain is also the number of the eighteen mountain gods, why is it still a team?

When Liu Wushan killed Li Shidao, Ma Yunshan was Li Shidao's deputy lieutenant and served as the commander of the guard brigade.

At that time, Li Shidao sent Liu Wushan with 10,000 people to resist the attack of Wei Bo's army Tian Hongzheng. Liu Wushan led the troops mainly to Kuanren, and the soldiers did not need to die. As a result, Wei Bojun beheaded more than 40 people, including the general Xia Xiangshan.

Li Shidao suspected that Liu Wushan was collaborating with the enemy and sent people to kill him.

Liu Wushan struck first, killed the future people, and led an army of 10,000 people to counterattack Yunzhou, where Li Shidao was located.
