This matter was not a difficult task for the Floating Cloud Sect.

The Quartet is now very prestigious in this part of the Western Regions.

Also, the bandits around have almost been wiped out.

Even if the other party is still a little worried, the Floating Cloud Sect sent some people over, and the problem is not very big.

Lin Xiqi and they knew that these princes also needed various channels to make money.

They need to maintain their power, but they don't just rely on their status as princes.

These subordinates still need tangible benefits to sustain themselves.

Otherwise, how could these people work for you?

There are many businesses and merchants with the shadow of these princes or big families behind them.

It is possible that those big families are related to these princes.

In short, the relationship is intricate.

Xu Ban left satisfied.

Lin Xiqi and they are also quite satisfied in their hearts.

After that, there were also lobbyists for several other princes.

It's a pity that the conditions of these people are not as superior as Xu Ban's, and some are even harsher than Chen Xu's.

They were really condescending, facing Lin Xiqi and them with a gesture of charity.

If it weren't for Renjiang's obstruction, Renyue would have wanted to kill these directly.

Zhao Yanxu also sent someone over, saying that he would do his best to ensure Hao Feng's ascendancy.

Everyone is quite satisfied with this.

Although everyone has contacts, Zhao Yanxu can also contact them through these relationships if he has anything, but he didn't, he sent someone over directly, which is to show sincerity.

"Then do we still want to cooperate with Zhao Yanwu?" Renhe asked, "Although Zhao Yanxu's strength is a little weaker, from the current point of view, what he can do is still okay. ”

"There is no conflict between the two. Lin Xiqi said, "Cooperating with Zhao Yanwu is just for our interests in Liangzhou, and cooperating with Zhao Yanxu is for some interests in the capital." If you still say that the two really clash at that time, it is not too late to make other decisions. ”

"The little junior brother is right. Renjiang nodded and said, "Now we still have to take down the Liangzhou Mu, as long as Hao Feng serves as the Liangzhou Mu, then everything is safe." ”

"I just didn't know that with Zhao Yanwu's intervention, Hao Feng could successfully take over as the pastor of Liangzhou. Renhai sighed.

"There should be news in a few days, and this matter cannot be delayed for a long time. Renjiang said.

Five days later, there was news from the imperial court.

Lin Xiqi and the others got the news from the 'Sky Net' that Hao Feng served as the pastor of Liangzhou, and this matter has been confirmed.

The Divine Decree is already on its way.

Although Zhao Yanwu's support this time made this matter possible, Zhao Yanxu also did his best.

In addition, Hao Feng's own achievements are also dazzling enough.

A dai state pastor, stick to Liangzhou.

In the face of an army of 400,000 Tartars, it finally held.

Finally, you can fight back.

Although there were various other reasons for this, such as the Floating Cloud Sect, Hao Feng's merits could not be denied.

It is his own merits that are dazzling enough that it is difficult for others to veto.

If they are all against Zhao Yanwu, then Hao Feng may not be able to do it.

With Zhao Yanwu's transformation, this matter was decided.

Hao Feng has been promoted, and Lin Xiqi and other meritorious people are naturally also rising.

Although the imperial court deliberately suppressed it, Lin Xiqi still served as the county guard of Dunhuang County.

In order to balance the forces on the side of Liangzhou, the imperial court also sent some people to serve as county guards and magistrates of other counties.

But how much effect these have, everyone actually doesn't have much confidence in their hearts.

In the land of Liangzhou, everyone is facing not only Hao Feng, but also the newly rising Jianghu sect of the Fuyun Sect.

Although it is said that these Jianghu sects, especially the alliance leader sects, are generally not likely to openly oppose the imperial court, some of the methods in the dark are impossible to prevent?

There are not a few local officials who have died unexpectedly.

How did these people die?

Isn't it just offending some local wealthy families or Jianghu sects.

As the reward came down, Lin Xiqi and the others finally breathed a sigh of relief.

This time, they got what they wanted from the court.

"The official position is there, but the food and salary of the imperial court are nowhere to be seen. Hong Shangrong sighed.

He is now in charge of the Liangzhou soldiers and horses.

It stands to reason that the imperial court should allocate food and salary, especially this time the defenders suffered a lot of casualties, and the bereavement required a large sum of silver taels.

But the imperial court only gave three million taels, and then said that it was waiting, waiting, and I don't know when it will be.

Hong Shangrong still knows a lot about the virtues of the imperial court.

It dragged on and on, and finally it was gone.

"What is there to complain about?" Lin Xiqi chuckled, "No matter what, I gave three million taels." I've heard that the state side got a million taels. ”

"My lord, can this be the same?" Hong Shangrong said with some tears and laughter, "How many Tartars are there in Liangzhou? I think it's only twenty or thirty thousand." ”

"But the losses over there are no less than ours. Lin Xiqi said.

"The local government is incompetent. Hong Shangrong snorted coldly and said, "They only need to defend their own capital city, and they don't care about the rest of the life or death." ”

"It's always been that way. Lin Xiqi said, "Don't cry poor on my side, in terms of food, I will let Huaixu allocate some of it." ”

"My lord, I'm just waiting for your words. Hong Shangrong laughed.

Of course, he came over this time to ask for silver from Lin Xiqi, otherwise how would he bring this soldier?

"But this time the amount you need is a bit large, I don't think Huai Su can take that much for a while, so let's give it a few times. Lin Xiqi said.

"That's fine. Hong Shangrong said, "Anyway, it's not like I'll use up all of this silver at once." And, my lord, don't forget, there are 50,000 cavalry, and these expenses can be counted. ”

Hong Shangrong couldn't help but remind Lin Xiqi.

This time, I got 200,000 military horses from the Tartars, which is good.

Raising horses and feeding horses is also a lot of expense.

In particular, the formation of fifty thousand cavalry.

The cost of a cavalryman is not comparable to that of other officers and soldiers.

This fee is infinitely higher than every.

"I remember. Lin Xiqi waved his hand and said, "There won't be less of you." ”

Then the subordinate retired. Hong Shangrong smiled, and then withdrew.

Speaking of which, Hong Shangrong's current official position is above Lin Xiqi, second only to Liangzhou Mu Hao Feng.

However, Hong Shangrong is very clear about his identity and status.

In Liangzhou, whether it is himself or Hao Feng, it is this Lord Lin who is really in charge.

At least on the government's side.

It's not easy for him to say anything about the Floating Cloud Sect.

Anyway, in his opinion, Lin Xiqi also has a lot of influence over there.

In this way, this Liangzhou is almost in his hands.

It's not that Hong Shangrong is disloyal to the court.

He was also loyal to the court back then, but what was the final end?

What happened to me may not be a big deal.

After so many years in Liangzhou, he has never seen the imperial court do anything for the people of Liangzhou.

Every time the Tartars invaded, the people of Liangzhou could only take refuge by themselves or resign themselves to fate.
