Chapter Seventy-Two: If you want to set up a bureau, please enter the urn
Our ancestors are also broad, this sentence sounds a bit of a joke, but it is indeed the current situation of the Sword Sect, there is no boasting in it, more helplessness and sadness.
If it is said that the Mo Nan Grassland belonged to the Molun Temple, the later construction belonged to the Xuanjiao, and the northeast belonged to the Buddhism, then the entire East China Sea was the Sword Sect, and there was no mistake, it was the entire East China Sea, not just the 36 islands of the East China Sea and a patriotic country.
At that time, no matter which country or country sailed on the sea, it had to fly the banner of the Sword Sect, otherwise it would be attacked by pirates, and the cost of asking for a flag would cost hundreds of thousands of taels of silver.
The Sword Sect itself also controls eighty percent of the gold mines of the country, just the gold produced every year is transported to the Central Plains to be exchanged for silver, which can be millions of taels, such a huge financial resource, and then converted into various industries, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is rich and rivals the country, and the accumulation of thousands of years is an astronomical amount.
This treasure, even the head of the world's sects, Daomen, is extremely excited, so he will send a great real person to personally guard Biyou Island.
On the other hand, today's Sword Sect, although it has begun to improve after decades of painstaking management by Gongsun Zhongmou and Zhang Xueyao, but it is only a Jiangdu city that cannot cover the sky with one hand, and compared with the domination of the entire East China Sea back then, it is not only a world of difference, even in the hands of Xu Beiyou now, it is still less than one-tenth of the heyday.
Xu Beiyou sometimes thought boredly, if it weren't for the overthrow of the Sword Sect, I am afraid that it would not be his turn to be the young master of the Sword Sect.
Look at the Daomen, every time the position of the sect changes, it is a sect chaos, it was Qingchen who rebelled against the sect, and there were hundreds of real people with real power who were connected by Zhulian, and now it is the three major disciples of the sect who are competing for the position, so that a Daomen who should be invincible is silent, and even major events such as the overthrow of Jiangnan Daomen can be ignored, which shows how tragic its internal fighting is.
On the contrary, it was Xu Beiyou, who just killed a Chi Bing to sit firmly in the position of the head disciple of the Sword Sect, and also responded to the words that blessings and misfortunes depend on each other.
Then Xu Beiyou comforted himself and thought that starting from scratch also has the benefits of starting from scratch, at least it is all his own, and he will not fight to the death like Daomen.
The next day, Yujia came to the door and told Xu Beiyou in the study that it was not too good news.
The newly appointed political envoy actually visited Weifu and went to a lot of industries that belonged to the Sword Sect on the surface, and it seemed that he wanted to show his strength.
Xu Beiyou thought for a while and said: "Yujia, you are an old man who has been with the master for many years, and you want to have your own opinions on the way of the temple, this new political envoy is undoubtedly a blue-faced person, from the Hanlin Academy, clear and noble, if it is an elm head, it will be like a stone in a pit, smelly and hard, if he dies violently in Jiangdu, what do you think the imperial court will react?"
Mikazu's face changed slightly, and he hesitated.
Xu Beiyou smiled: "It's okay to say it directly. ”
Yujia said in a deep voice: "Young master, then our Sword Sect will completely offend the imperial court, no matter whether Zhang Jian is a person from Lan Xiang or not, and no matter how Lan Xiang and the current emperor are constantly dirty, after all, he is a political envoy from the second grade, a serious feudal official, and he is a new official, if he is killed, then the court is bound to be held accountable, even if Han Xiangye is from it, it is very unfavorable to the young master." ”
Xu Beiyou nodded and smiled: "The reason is that this is a good reason, if you blindly use force, it is very unwise, and maybe it will affect Mr., so I have an idea, can we set up a bureau for him and let him get in by himself, the scholar cherishes feathers the most, as long as we have his handle, then he is not at our disposal?"
At the beginning, Gongsun Zhongmou personally cultivated the twelve swordsmen of the Sword Qi Lingkong Hall, although the realm cultivation is not top-notch, but all of them are old rivers and lakes, and they are no strangers to this kind of Jianghu doorway, after hearing Xu Beiyou's words, Yujia's eyes lit up, and he said softly: "Young master, this matter is feasible, you can hand it over to Xuanyi and Ghost Ding, especially Ghost Ding, who is most familiar with this kind of ghost tricks." ”
Xu Beiyou said slowly: "If you want to set up a situation for this kind of person, you must make a fuss about your reputation, but don't leave any traces, let alone ruin the reputation of our Sword Sect, you know." ”
More Y3 new = fastest on
The armor respectfully agreed.
Xu Beiyou waved his hand.
The armor retreated.
Zhang Jian, born in a declining scholar clan in Yuzhou, no Zhong Ming Ding food, no slave maids, only a few tile houses and a box of books accumulated by the ancestors, he has been smart since childhood, three years old enlightened and literate, five years old can compose poetry, can be described as a prodigy, ten years old when he was admitted to the child's life, and then all the way to show talent, lift, jinshi, and finally into the Hanlin Academy, that year he was only twenty years old, can be described as a spring breeze proud, heroic and dry, determined to be a marquis into the picture, do an earth-shattering career.
As everyone knows, the temple climbs so difficult, three points of ability, six points of luck, one point of noble support, all of which are indispensable, he has no support and support in the family lineage, and there is also a little less luck, so he stayed in the Hanlin Academy for more than ten years, and he was going to work hard for a lifetime, and his ambitions in his early years were like the rolling river outside the Jiangdu City.
But sometimes it's so strange, there is no intention to plant flowers and flowers, unintentionally planted willows and willows, just when he was already a little disheartened, the "luck road" that he hadn't seen for many years finally began to favor him, first Hu Tingyu, who was known as the small head of the Hanlin Academy, repeatedly showed favor to him, and then he was blue-eyed, just when he was a little flattered, a big pie smashed on his head, and he was directly promoted to four levels from a four-grade Hanlin Academy Qingshui errand, and served as the Jiangdu Bu political envoy from the second grade.
This is a powerful feudal official, and it is in Jiangdu, a first-class prosperous place, and the fat shortage that no matter how many people can't grab, it fell on his head.
Zhang Jian is not stupid, he naturally understands that there must be a demon when things go wrong, Lan Xiang uses him, it must be to let him do things, before he came, Hu Tingyu's unfinished meaning in his words, he also knew it, it was nothing more than the Lan Han party dispute, I had long heard that Han Ge Lao had an adopted son in Jiangdu, covering the sky with one hand, calling for wind and rain, so the meaning of Lan Xiang sending him to Jiangdu was self-evident.
However, Zhang Jian didn't care, after all, he could be used as a chess piece, which showed that he was still useful, and one day he would not be able to jump out of the chessboard and be a chess player, but if he couldn't even make a chess piece, he would have to live a poor life.
It is for this reason that after Zhang Jian came to Jiangdu, he went around for private visits, trying to catch some clues about that Xu Gongzi.
However, this move is still a bit bookish, since Xu Gongzi is covering the sky with one hand in Jiangdu City, and his hands and eyes are all over the sky, how can he not know that you Zhang Jian is a person from Lanyu, and how can he not pay attention to your every move.
At this time, Zhang Jian stood expressionlessly in front of the door of a courtyard, this is one of the few courtyards under the name of the Sword Sect, there is a gap between the famous Qianjin Building, but it is also the first-class gold cave in Jiangdu City, in this, the minimum cost of a night is hundreds of taels of silver, if you don't even have this net worth, then please stop, so as not to humiliate yourself.
Zhang Jian glanced at the three gilded characters of Fanghua Pavilion, and secretly weighed his net worth.
Although it was said that the Qing prefect had been in the Qing Prefecture for three years and 100,000 snowflakes of silver, he had just taken office after all, and he didn't have much savings, so he hesitated for a moment, but he still planned to turn around and leave.
