On the way from the southwest border into the southwest hinterland, there were many petty officials who came to visit, and sent treasures and food to the prince, Xu Lin received them all, and he didn't do it anymore when he gave less, so he stared at them and waited for them, and the local officials had no choice but to move out of their homes and leave some food for themselves for the winter.

The officials are not afraid, anyway, there is nothing to loot with the people, but Xu Lin is a thief, he doesn't give them a chance at all, he has already asked Zhang Mingyue to secretly visit the lives of the people before him, and the people under the rule of these huge greed have long been unable to live, so when Xu Lin left, he directly took the people away, and by the way, he also took away all the household registration of the county government, and only regarded the officials as a bare-bones commander, as for what happens in the future, Xu Lin can't manage so much.

Xu Lin likes those officials who receive him, but are neither humble nor arrogant, such a clean official, Xu Lin will hand over the people he brought to them, no matter where it is, as long as he is a good official and is willing to take the people to do it, he can definitely survive.

Some officials were afraid that the court would pursue them, so Xu Lin told them that if something happened, the prince was carrying it, and it was no big deal.

Xu Lin was reluctant to ride a horse, so Zhang Mingyue bought a big carriage, which was the kind of long-wheel carriage with wide axles and big wheels, which was very gorgeous, the four horses were all ghost war horses, and the handlebar style was a few farmers hired by Xu Lin, and there were two sisters and brothers in the car, Xu Lin and Xu Yeqing, because Mi Fei and Fang Fei were sent back to Shuofang City by Xu Lin, and there was only one nightingale waiting for them, and the other was a green carp that had just come to life.

Xu Lin lazily leaned on the frame to read, it was a forbidden book written by Zhao Erye, Xu Yeqing happened to collect one, Xu Lin finished reading the full text, and couldn't help laughing: "I never dreamed that the old man was exiled and kept writing, he was really not afraid of losing his head, and recorded our father's affairs in detail, even if the record is forgotten, he even dared to annotate." ”

Xu Yeqing did not shy away from the green carp at all, and responded with a smile: "Second Master Zhao is a character, but it's a pity that the court can't tolerate him." ”

Xu Lin's face became serious, and said: "My father is ambitious, but he is too rigid and self-serving, and he is too scheming, in order to stabilize his throne, when he was still the prince, he killed all the generals who could fight, and also extended his black hand to the queen mother, using Zhao Daheng and others, if you give it to me, let alone a marshal, a vanguard general is not worthy of being me." ”

Xu Yeqing said: "Either you can't beat the ghost people, in fact, Qiu Yuhu is okay." ”

Xu Yeqing changed the clothes of walking the rivers and lakes into the clothes of an ordinary rich lady, and her hair was tied up at will, even if Xu Lin had seen countless beauties and filters, he had never seen such a beautiful woman, whenever Xu Lin praised her, Xu Yeqing would tell him that his fiancée Chen Shanshan was the first beauty in Wuyang.

But the strange thing is that Xu Lin can remember the details of the communication with Chen Shanshan, but he can't remember Chen Shanshan's appearance.

Hearing Xu Yeqing say Qiu Yuhu, Xu Lin said: "Qiu Yuhu is not satisfactory, but once the general is hooked up with politics, it is not like it, a team should have a military chief officer and a political work chief, in wartime, the military chief officer controls everything, and in non-wartime, the political and labor chief officer is in charge of everything, such a combination is powerful." ”

Xu Yeqing said: "This is a good idea. ”

Xu Lin sighed and said: "The idea is good, but there is a lack of military officials, only the Northeast Army of the Queen Mother is struggling to support the north, and the Taiwei thought has formed a solid state of thinking, and he does not understand changes, the wind is blowing and the clouds are flying, and the warriors are guarding the Quartet!" ”

Xu Yeqing lifted the curtain and looked outside, and said, "These more than 4,000 people of yours are all good seedlings. ”

Xu Lin said: "Charging into battle is a good hand, but the talent who can command thousands of troops and horses, I really haven't found it, Zhang Mingyue is okay, Li Panshan is actually good, but it's a pity that such a general, my father will let him be the secretary of the court, it's not suitable at all." ”

Xu Yeqing looked at Xu Lin with a blank gaze and asked, "If it were handed over to you to command, how would you use him?" ”

"Marshal of the Western Army, of course." Xu Lin replied without thinking.

Although their sister and brother are the crown princess, they are already a thorn in the emperor's side, if the emperor knows that they dare to talk about state affairs like this, I am afraid that they will be so afraid that they can't sleep at night, with the appeal of Xu Lin now, coupled with the combat effectiveness of the Northeast Army, if there is a rebellion, the emperor will not be able to suppress it at all.

Xu Lin unfolded the map, studied it carefully for a while, took out a pen and sketched a thin line, Xu Yeqing stepped forward to take a look, and said: "Go south to Fenghuo Road, north to Kowloon Road, and then from Kowloon Road to the northwest to Shuofang City, there must be five thousand miles, and I am afraid that it will already be nine cold days when I go back." Aren't you worried about your people in Shuofang City? ”

Xu Lin nodded and said, "Don't get in the way, Zuo Qiulu is there, when Mifei and Fang Fei go back, Zuo Qiulu will be able to understand what I mean, one of the homeless people is one, and none of them will starve to death." There are 36 provinces in the country, three in the southwest, and the land in the northwest is larger, but only three counties in the northwest have been established, and there is only one Shuofang City that really exists, and Shuofang City will definitely listen to me, and now I have to find a way to make at least two Taoists in the southwest listen to me, so that the emperor will really be afraid of me. ”

Xu Yeqing smiled and said, "According to the rules, you have to go back to the palace to face the saint." ”

Xu Lin laughed, "I'm looking for death when I go back to the palace?" I will definitely go back to the palace, and when I return to Shuofang City, Zuo Qiulu will go back. At that time, there were more than 100 lives in the East Palace, and it is estimated that they could give me an explanation. ”

"Then why don't you go back to the palace?"

"The prince's responsibility is to supervise the country, and there are tens of millions of people in the southwest Kowloon Road, so I naturally have to come and see it, right?"

"Actually, you just can't rest assured that the people, and now when you return to Beijing, you won't be in danger." Xu Yeqing muttered in a low voice, and then said: "You have to find a way to keep your status as the prince, in fact, there is still one in the court who can fight, the boss Xu Aotian, is now training with the Northeast Army in the north, as far as I know, he also has his own team, and his means are no worse than his father!" ”

Xu Lin chuckled lightly and said, "I don't want to be the emperor at all, I just want to be in a safe corner, how tired is being the emperor?" I just want to be happy. ”

Xu Yeqing lost his voice and said, "How can this be?" ”

Xu Lin patted her hand and said, "It's okay, in this world, no one can do anything to me, what's the situation in Beacon Dao?" Sister, you and I are chattering. ”

Xu Yeqing said: "The Metropolitan Governor of Beacon Fire Road is the elder brother of Concubine Mi Hua, Xu Aotian's uncle, this person is not bad, I went over there after I killed Xu Wei'e, he still loves the people like a son." ”

"Xu Aotian's uncle, isn't that our uncle? As soon as Xu Wei'e dies, let's find out the food situation in Kowloon Road, and we can only go to Beacon Road to meet our uncle. ”

Xu Yeqing thought so, quickly formulated a route, and asked Zhang Mingyue to report it with great fanfare.

The gateway to the west of the beacon road is Baoxing County, knowing that the prince wants to enter the beacon road from Baoxing County, from the county guard to the county cheng, hundreds of officials go out of the city for thirty miles, waiting for the prince in a long pavilion.

The county guard is an old man who is too old, but what is embarrassing is that he has only been an official for five years, who made him barely get admitted to a jinshi at the age of fifty?

If he hadn't learned to slap the horse, he wouldn't have been able to get the county guard of these three grades.

However, after becoming the county guard, his life is very good, he is blessed in old age, Baoxing County is rich, and the county of 36 counties intends to let him not interfere in the affairs of the county below, and worships him every year, and builds a big mansion for him, called "Yangxinju", every day he sleeps, there are two maidservants holding his feet, Xu Lin, the dignified prince, has never done this.

The downpour came suddenly, the raindrops the size of soybeans smashed on the roof of the long pavilion, extremely violent, the temperature dropped with the rain falling, it had become a rain and snow day, but none of them moved, it was the prince who was coming, if he served well, maybe he could be a Beijing official.

They waited for a long time before a little post man who was not even qualified to leave the city reported that Xu Lin had entered the city from the north gate and stationed his troops in the county captain's camp, while he and the princess lived in Yangxinju with two thousand maids.

The county guard was very happy in his heart, because he had already planned to let the prince live there, and this sycophant was completed in the end.

But Xu Lin didn't mean to tease them, it was this sudden rain and snow weather that made Xu Lin feel uneasy, the rain clouds came from the south, continue to go northeast, this rain cloud will arrive at Kowloon Road, the weather is getting colder and colder, if it rains heavily on Kowloon Road again, after the waterlogging, and the ice disaster, the people of Kowloon Road will not live.

The reason why Xu Lin entered from the north gate was that he wanted to confirm whether the terrain of Baoxing County was low in the north and high in the south.

As for what exactly he is going to do, no one knows.

In the main room, Xu Lin took a shower and changed into a set of clothes, and the green carp, who had just had some strength, helped him fix his hair.

Qing Carp's technique is getting softer and gentler, much better than before, she already knows that she has become Liu Gongjin's abandoned son, she is not dead, it is the prince who does not let her die, not only does not let her die but also saves her life, the grace of saving life is like regenerating parents, where does she dare to have two hearts?

Xu Lin held a brush in his hand and sketched some formulas on the paper that no one could understand, and the green carp said softly: "Master, what are you doing here?" ”

Xu Lin asked, "Is there a spell in this world that calls for wind and rain?" ”

Qingli thought for a while and said, "Of course there are, there are many people who ask for rain." ”

"Then no one can take care of the rain on Kowloon Road?" Xu Lin said: "The law of man, the law of the earth, the law of heaven, the law of heaven, the law of nature, people are not able to fight nature, but for the sake of the people, we have to do something disrespectful to heaven and earth, there is a saying that fighting with the sky is endless, the pattern of great people, we have to learn." ”

Qing Carp asked, "Which great man said that he really has courage." ”

Xu Lin said: "If you want to read more, you know, if you read more books, you will know." ”

At this time, the nightingale broke in from outside the door and hurriedly said: "Prince, Zhang Mingyue and the county lieutenant are fighting, you can take care of it quickly, if you don't go, it is estimated that you will have to lead the troops to fight hard......"
