Chapter 115: Returning Home
The army went south, and a day later, Feng Changqing and Gao Xianzhi bid farewell to Gu Zuo and asked for instructions. Feng Changqing was transferred to the envoy of Hedong Jiedu, and Gao Xianzhi moved to the eastern capital to stay behind and reoccupied Luoyang, which was abandoned by Fan Yangjun.
In fact, Gu Zuo couldn't afford to be interested in the assignment at all, let alone how they each governed. The world is about to be annihilated, what does Lao Tzu matter?
The only thing he cared about was the spirit stone vein, if it was possible to emulate Zhongnan Mountain, the spirit stone must be indispensable, otherwise why would the Chongxuan Department frantically search for spirit stones in the last few years? This is also the reason why he arranged for Feng Changqing and Gao Xianzhi to leave the town.
"Let's not talk about it, both of you are big people who have presided over a military town, and you all know what to do. There is only one thing that needs to be remembered, the three spirit stone veins of the Chongxuan Department in Lantian and other places must be guarded, and not allowed to be mined and dug up in a mess. ”
Feng Changqing immediately said: "There are two places in Hedong, with an annual output of 90,000 spirit stones, and I will transport them to Nanwuzhou. ”
Gao Xianzhi said: "The annual output of Lantian's veins is 75,000, and I will also send it to Southern Wuzhou, the owner of the pavilion can rest assured." ”
Gu Zuo said: "I have great expectations for the two of you, now is not the time, when the time comes, you will know my arrangement." You don't have to send all the spirit stones, you can keep 10,000 each. ”
After dividing the troops, Gu Zuo continued to move south, and seven days later entered Jiannan Road, which was considered to be back in Gu Zuo's sphere of influence.
After a few days, they arrived in Yizhou, He Luguang led more than 1,500 Yizhou soldiers who had been tempered by the battle array to return to the camp, and Gu Zuo finally entered Yizhou City to accept the hospitality of Yang Jian, the secretary of the Jiedu shogunate. For Gu Zuo, there are naturally Lu Qiao of the Luofu faction, Wang Ruhu of the Qingcheng faction, and the new Yizhou Don't drive Gu You.
Yang Jian first announced, saying that it was Jiedu that Wang Wei went south to Yongchang a few days ago, and specially explained, asking Gu Zuo to send him to Shaolin again after he returned.
Wang Ruhu didn't join in the fun in front of Gu Zuo, and the focus of his service was, of course, the three lords of the Lishui Zhao army. This time in Beijing, the three lords of the country were really eye-opening. Curfew Chang'an, guard King Qi, support the crown prince, war rebels, no matter which one of them, it will bring countless glory to people!
It turns out that we can do so many great things - this is the common voice of the three lords, and unconsciously, they all have some contempt for the heroes of the world.
Although the actual benefits are not much, it has invisibly greatly changed the strategic situation of the Lishui faction, and he is tied to Gu Zuo, and he is no longer afraid of Qingcheng.
In fact, even if you don't enter Beijing this time, you don't have to be afraid of Qingcheng, Qingcheng sent Yuan Dan Lao Dao, Yu Haicang and the four elders of Qingcheng to Zhongnan Mountain, and the sect is not connected, what are you afraid of?
Wang Ruhu went up and said: "After the three of you sent troops, the Chongxuan Department came to the official document and recruited the three of you to go to Nanshan, saying that there was something important to discuss. I personally rushed to Chang'an to deliver the letter, but it was too late, Chang'an was surrounded by rebels, and I couldn't get in. I had no choice but to go back to Lishui to transfer troops, and the army had just entered Yizhou, and I heard that the siege of Chang'an had been lifted......"
The third lady said: "Okay, no one complains about you, what do you explain?
Wang Ruhu hurriedly handed over the official document, and the three lords circulated it, and the unhappiness in their hearts finally dissipated.
Xue Guozhu said: "Chongxuan still remembers our sisters...... It's okay if they didn't go to Zhongnan Mountain, God knows where they flew, if they really followed them and didn't care about it, what would Lishui do?"
The third lady said: "Sister is right, just look at the Qingcheng faction, this is the end of Nanshan, I really can't go." ”
The lord of the flower country smiled and thought so.
Gu Zuo didn't have time to care about the affairs of the Lishui faction, and only talked to Yang Jian and the others. After three rounds of drinking, Lu Qiao said: "Tang Junzhe, a friend of the scene, is not right to say inappropriately, he doesn't even say hello, I treat him as a friend." I heard that the refiners all flew away with their families with the Chongxuan Administration, is there also a share of Tang Junzhe?"
Gu Zuo nodded: "This is someone's life, we can't envy it." ”
Yang Jian said: "Yu Yutong of the Qingcheng faction will not say goodbye, could it be the same? If this is the case, his position as a friend will be removed." ”
Gu Zuo agreed: "Wang Wei, I know that these government affairs should not disturb him, you just look at the disposal." ”
Gu You suddenly came over and said in a low voice: "Yu Yutong said goodbye without saying goodbye, he violated the rules of the court, and he should be dealt with as a matter of course, Taishi, do you want to give an order to the Qingcheng faction and let them transfer Yu Yutong?"
Gu Zuo glanced at Gu You and asked, "What if that family can't hand over someone?"
Gu You shook his fist fiercely: "If there is no Chongxuan Department today, only the imperial court, the Taishi can order to assign Tieqiao and Zhaochuan to Lishui to reward them for their entry into Beijing this time." ”
Tieqiao and Zhaochuan are both the territory of Qingcheng Zhao to the south, bordering Lishui Zhao and Yongchang Zhao to the north respectively, Gu You's idea is to take the opportunity to bully Qingcheng County, reward Lishui at the same time, but also create some disputes between the two families, and at the same time look at the reaction of the various sects in the world, this is a plan to maximize the use of the title of "Taishi".
Gu Zuo's heart moved instantly, but then he held back, it's still the same sentence, is it interesting?
The priority is to find a way to escape this world, nothing else is interesting!
patted Gu You's shoulder and said perfunctorily: "Good plan, you have a heart, but don't worry about it first, and talk about it in the future." ”
After returning to Nanwuzhou, Gu Zuo accompanied Li Twelve to the newly built Xihe Road Pavilion on the south bank of Dongxi, which is separated from the north bank by a water, with the new Xiongmiaotai as the center, and built a garden pavilion similar to an apricot garden, although it is far less prosperous than the north bank, but it also has a weather.
Seeing a kind of Xiuxiu, Li Twelve and He Xiaofan chatted a lot. Gu Zuo stayed with them for a while, and was called away by Li Gusheng, who rushed over.
"Uncle Junior, this is the list that Deacon Gu gave me, let me prepare the refining materials according to this list, there are so many materials, I don't have them there. ”
Li Gusheng is the person in charge of the Nanwu Prefecture Ritual Workshop, and he is also the assistant designated by Gu Zuo to Deacon Gu.
Gu Zuo looked at the list, there are more than 100 kinds of dazzling, not to mention water Gengjin, Zhihua iron, lightning strike wood, all kinds of peach wood, etc., all of which are thousands or even tens of thousands of catties, among which there are more than 30 kinds of precious materials, even if the reserves of the Yizhou official treasury in southern Wuzhou are emptied, most of them are scarce or even none.
Li Gusheng said: "Some of them are from the Huashan Xixuan Sect, and Deacon Gu said that he could buy them from them, but there are nine kinds of materials that even they don't have in reserve. Shui Geng phlogopite, cold copper mica, gorse mica, pine essence stone, dragon whalebone, cloud deer antlers, sea agarwood, bald demon grass carp beads, lotus mushroom vine, many materials I have never heard of. ”
Gu Zuo also had a headache, so he had to say: "Put up the price at the Nanwu Auction House and the Spring and Autumn Pawn Shop, pay with spirit stones, you can raise the price a little, such as Gengjin mica, starting from 1,000 spirit stones, and hanging up to 10,000 spirit stones according to the highest quality." ”
Now the spirit stone is a hard currency, 10,000 spirit stones are equivalent to 100,000 yuan, at this price, there is nothing that cannot be bought.
In addition, Gu Zuo also wrote to Yang Guozhong and asked him to use the power of the court to help collect. Now the court can be said to be dominant, although Gu Zuo sent Yang Guozhong a list of acquisitions with a clear price, but he knew that once this order was issued, it would inevitably cause chickens and dogs to jump everywhere, and I don't know how many sects would be ruined and how many monks would be ruined.
But he couldn't take care of it at the moment, after the document was sent, Gu Zuo smiled bitterly, and unconsciously, he also embarked on the old path of the first emperor.
