Xingyang has been very "prosperous" recently.

First of all, the relocation of the Taifu shogunate caused dozens of scholars to come to the local area.

They had families, servants, and a small number of guests.

In addition to the shogunate, there were also a large number of low-level officials, as well as helpers who were driven by them to take turns to levy and serve on duty.

For this alone, there are six or seven thousand people.

This is not over, some merchants moved around with the shogunate to do business, and there are many of them.

There are also craftsmen and musicians......

It can be said that wherever the shogunate moved, it prospered – if they gave money every time they spend.

Consumption is only one means of economic prosperity. In addition to this, there are investments.

In the past six months, there have been three main types of shogunate-led investment projects.

One is to repair the post road.

The second is to maintain the Pichi pond and irrigation canal network in the three counties of Xingyang, Chenliu and Henan.

The third is to dredge and widen the river to facilitate water transportation.

To be fair, the shogunate still did something about it. But the strange thing is that most of these people have been concentrated in the past few months, not for nothing before, but really rare.

The reason for this is that people with a bit of brains know that Taifu wants to improve his image and make people scold less.

The last thing that brought "prosperity" to Xingyang was the large-scale southward movement of the Hebei refugees.

There are good and bad things about this.

The good thing is that there is too much land and not enough people. When the displaced people go south, they can cultivate a large amount of abandoned land and produce more grain.

The bad side lies in the dispute between the Turks and the deterioration of law and order.

This situation has already begun in Jingzhou and Yuzhou.

In the area of Nanyang and Xiangyang in the north of Jingzhou, there are a large number of displaced people in Guanzhong, and they continue to flow into Nanyang every year - take the direction of Wuguan to Nanyang.

The homeless people gathered into docks, with a few hundreds, a large number of more than a thousand or thousands. And because they are in a foreign land, they are very grouped, one side is in trouble, and the four sides go to help, and the local natives are more hostile to them, and there are many contradictions - the court called the dispute between "residents" and "displaced people".

The area around Yuzhou was mainly the aftermath of Wang Mi's rebellion.

At the peak of Wang Mi, there were more than 100,000 soldiers, and only more than 70,000 people finally arrived at Luoyang City. Of the remaining 70,000 or 80,000 people, some were exterminated by the official army, while others were scattered in other places, gathering to protect themselves, cutting down trees, building villages, and cultivating fields.

The fields they cultivated obviously belonged to the clans and the marshals of the Wubao in name, and they even encroached on the land of a large number of homesteaders, and coerced them into their gang and became settled "displaced people".

This is also a kind of dispute between "residents" and "displaced people", which is not uncommon in the counties of Yuzhou, and there are many contradictions.

In short, now Xingyang is in a mess, the crowd is messy, and the officials and the people are unbearable.

In all kinds of horns, dock forts were erected one after another. Among them, the most famous is the fort wall established by Li Ju and Guo Yu, the two uncles and nephews, at the beginning there were only hundreds of families from Pingyang, and after absorbing Hebei refugees, it gradually increased to more than 1,000 families.

On this day, Sima Yue summoned Li Ju in the shogunate and comforted him many times.

Li Ju was very excited.

The power-leaning Taifu praised him, and God was pitiful, for the first time in more than ten years, such a big official valued him.

Sima Yue was also very satisfied.

He now has little confidence in the state and county soldiers and even the forbidden army, and feels that their combat effectiveness is too poor. So he set his sights on the beggar army, the dock marshal, the homeless marshal, and the family tribes, and solicited them in many ways, intending to collect them for their own use.

The aides provided a list, and Li Ju was one of them.

After some conversation, he found that Li Ju was really loyal, and he couldn't help but sigh with emotion: The Sima clan has enjoyed the country for decades, and there are still loyal ministers after all.

Under the comfort, he was rewarded a lot, and left Li Ju to eat in the house.

The chatter and laughter continued until a piece of good news came......

The main bookkeeper Guo Xiang went to the party, so today it is another bookkeeper Bian Dundang. He is not a fool, he really doesn't want to touch his head when Taifu is happy, but there is no way, who told Taifu that the news of the war in Hebei should be communicated as soon as possible? I can only bite the bullet.

Sure enough, as he expected, Taifu's face changed suddenly after hearing the results of the Battle of Mustang Gang.

Li Ju was a little puzzled.

It is rumored that Shao Xun is a Taifu love general, and every time he is called, he will go out to learn from him. This time, Liu Hanqi will Kou Hebei, Pei Yuzhou left the army and fled, Wang Che rode in Dongyan, and did not move, but Shao Xun went deep into Hebei, broke the thieves, and recovered the famous city in one fell swoop.

Isn't that a good thing?

Isn't it to add color to Taifu?

Why doesn't Taifu seem to be very happy?

Fortunately, Sima Yue knew that there were guests at the banquet, and after secretly calming down his churning mood, he forced a smile and said: "Shao-Tai-Quanzhong really has the ability to live up to my high expectations." Previously, Wang Sang and Liu Ling were broken in Ji County, and they have begun to emerge. This time he lost Shile again, and Hebei was worry-free. A good thing, a great thing! ”

Bian Dun laughed playfully.

Li Ju was very fascinated: "The Marquis of Luyang did not wait for the reinforcements to arrive, so he was determined to go north and break the enemy army. is so proud, it is really a big husband, and I can't wait to see each other. ”

Bian Dun stood there, not knowing whether to make a look at Li Ju, and was very entangled.

The smile on Sima Yue's face was almost uncontrollable, and he felt dizzy for a while.

This is his old problem, but it has become more serious in recent years, and sometimes it even affects his judgment - it is as if his mind is "suffocated".

In this intermittent cerebral suffocation, the name Shao Xun almost became a symbol, contributing to his condition.

The Battle of Mustang Gang, hehe, the Battle of Mustang Gang, why aren't you defeated?

"Taifu." Li Ju was still on the rise, and continued: "The battle of Luyang Marquis won neatly and neatly, greatly boosting the morale of the army and people in Hebei. Taifu Delu Yanghou, fortunately. ”

Bian Dun almost lifted his forehead and lamented.

Li Ju, you don't know the situation, can you just say a few words?

mentioned the names Gou Xi and Shao Xun all of a sudden, do you know what it means?

These two are both "love generals" who used to be very trustworthy in Taifu, praised their bravery and martial arts when they met people, and they were full of strategy, and later they both fell out.

Although Bian Dun doesn't know why Mr. Taifu fell out with someone who has the ability, but the fall out is a fact, and you still boast like this, you really want to die......

You're done.

Sure enough, the more Sima listened to it, the more uncomfortable he became, and he even felt black in front of him.

Looking back on the past, I have never regretted it, nor have I not thought about how to repair the relationship.

Just last month, he also thought about whether he could reconcile with Gou Xi and get back together.

Among the shogunate, there are also some people who persuade him to do this, after all, Gou Xi has a large number of troops and is very capable of fighting, which is a great help in troubled times.

But when I think about the end, I always can't get over the hurdle in my heart.

In particular, Gou Xi once wrote a letter asking him why he didn't believe his words, and also asked him why he suppressed his performance to ask for merit to the soldiers? The rhetoric is very fierce and the attitude is very disrespectful.

The more Sima thought about it, the more angry he became, so he completely broke off the idea of reconciling with Gou Xi.

Shao Xun is a person, to be honest, he is much more respectful than Gou Xi on the surface. Every time they are summoned, they send troops, and even bring their personal parts, and those who don't know the inside story see it, which one doesn't praise it?

Taifu, you are blessed......

Taifu has Shao Caiguan, and the world is decided......

Luyang Hou Keyi protects the Taifu family for two generations......

Taibai Xingjing came into the world and was impressed by Taifu, who had a yellow cloud and purple aura hidden on his head......

Etcetera.

As soon as these people said it, Sima Yue was sometimes inevitably shaken, thinking that he should reconcile with Shao Xun?

But it's still the same situation as Gou Xi, and I can't get over the hurdle in my heart.

Moreover, Shao Xun, like Gou Xi, didn't take the initiative to bow down and be small, bowed his head and confessed, and didn't give him a step.

How can I forgive you if you hold it like this?

Sima Yue actually knows that this is called "narrow-mindedness", which is not the quality that a master should have.

But I'm narrow-minded, what are you going to do?

In the past year, he has heard all kinds of rumors about his wife and Shao Xun.

He didn't believe it before, thinking it was chasing after the wind. But after listening to it a lot, sometimes I can't help but think about it, is there really such a thing?

After thinking about it too much, I was even more jealous and hateful in my heart, and it was impossible to forgive Shao Xun.

"Bang!" Sima Yue slapped the case heavily.

"Taifu, this ......" Li Ju was startled and looked up at Bian Dun.

Bian Dun shook his head at him, motioned for him not to speak, and then smiled: "Taifu is drunk." If there is something to do in the world, you can go quickly. ”

Li Ju stood up and saluted awkwardly, and then took his leave.

When leaving, I sighed in my heart: Henan is unfamiliar with the place, the news is closed, but I don't know what I did wrong. Could it be that there is a lot of discord between Taifu and Shao Xun?

After sighing, he strengthened his thoughts: no one in this world is reliable, only by accumulating strength and training soldiers and horses can he gain a firm foothold and be loyal to the court.

After Li Ju left, Sima Yue slowly eased up.

After a long time, I only heard him ask: "Zhongren, do you say that among Luojing, everyone is against Lone Yang?" ”

Bian Dun's heart skipped a beat, and he said, "Why is Taifu worried? There is Wang Situ in the capital, the shogunate orders have never shirked or delayed, everything is in order, who dares to disobey the orders of the Taifu? ”

"Wang Yifu......" Sima Yue snorted lightly and didn't say anything.

Bian Dun observed the words and looked at the expression, and secretly thought to himself that he might be able to write a letter to Wang Situ.

"It's time to go back to Luoyang." Sima Yue stood up and said: "After the New Year, after the post roads, Pichi, and ditches in Xingyang, Chenliu, and Henan counties are completed, I will return to Beijing." ”

"No." Bian Dun responded.

"What do you think about the matter in Hebei?" Sima Yue asked.

"The servant is just the master's book, and he doesn't dare to speak falsely." Bian Dun replied.

"If you want to say it, you can say it." Sima Yue said dissatisfied.

"The servant thinks that he can summon the Marquis of Luyang."

"What about the class teacher?"

"Thick its name, take its profits."

"How?"

"You can be promoted to a knight, a county duke, a county marquis, but you are not allowed to meddle in Hebei's affairs."

"Who will Hebei hand over?"

"Ding Shaokeye." Bian Dun replied.

Ding Shao used to be the Taishou of Guangping and had been deeply cultivated in Hebei for many years. He once saved the life of Sima Mo, the king of Nanyang, and set up a monument for him.

During the Jisang Rebellion, he led the army to hunt down the remnants of the soldiers and gained some credit.

After the war, the king of Nanyang spoke for him and was promoted to the assassin of Jizhou.

Such a person is actually much stronger than the kind of person like He Yu who fled when he heard the enemy, at least he dared to lead troops to fight, and there were some people in Hebei.

"Then take Shao as the general of Ningbei, fake the festival, supervise the military of Jizhou, and town Yecheng." Sima Yue said: "Assassin history - think about it again. ”

Bian Dun hung his head and was silent.

In fact, he knew that Taifu had already had candidates for the governor and assassin in his heart, and he also knew Taifu's thoughts, so as soon as he proposed Ding Shao as the governor of Jizhou, Taifu agreed.

After Ding Shao was transferred to the governor, the position of assassin would most likely be held by a person from Hebei, and it was best to have military strategy, be able to fight, and be loyal to Taifu.

If you choose it this way, the candidate is already ready to come out: Shogunate Zuo Sima Wang Bin.

Ding Shao has been in Hebei for many years, starting from Taishou, the popularity is not low, and he will lead the troops to fight.

Wang Bin was once the general of Wang Sima Ying in Chengdu, and later took refuge in Taifu. During the Wang Mi Rebellion, he led 5,000 armor soldiers to aid Luoyang and participated in the final decisive battle.

With these two people, the purpose is also very clear, and Bian Dun knows it very well.
