Quan Yutianxia GL

When Huo Yunshu came to Bai Su's study, he saw the serious expressions of everyone inside. If Chuning were here, he would be able to distinguish everyone's psychological activities through their behavior and expressions.

Feng Jiuqing clasped the table with her fingertips, raised her eyes from time to time, looking a little distracted.

Yan Lingge was the most anxious. Obviously, she had a strong dependence on Bai Su, and she belonged to the kind of person whose ability to accept was stronger than the ability to think. Without Bai Su to take the lead at this moment, she lost her backbone and could not find a direction to act.

After Bai Qingmo poured tea with the crowd, he sat behind Bai Qingye silently, looking at the crowd.

Chu Rou was clearly out of the situation, if Huo Yunshu hadn't been forcing her down, she would have gone to find her sister impatiently.

On the other hand, Bai Qingye, the secret guard who was always elusive, seemed unusually calm at the moment.

Huo Yunshu clasped his fists in salute to everyone, considering how to speak to break the silence, when the door of the study was opened again, and the county lord Wang Yi was also invited over.

Wang Yi took off his cloak and handed it to the guards, and was invited by Bai Qingmo to take a seat, before he had time to drink tea, he hurriedly said: "This matter must have started because of this official, if it wasn't for this official's negligence, I wouldn't give people a chance to take that and that. Zhang Ming was rescued from prison..."

"That Zhang Ming and Xiao Duan have an old relationship." Huo Yunshu has a very good relationship with the county lord now, and Dang even said: "I am afraid that this matter is related to the grandson of the Duan family. The county lord is very close." Don’t blame yourself for that.”

"It's a pity that the two families of Xiao Duan lost their lives at the hands of the thieves in Tianwangzhai." Wang Yi said sadly: "Now we have to wait for the good people under our rule to bear the consequences. I don't know how many lives will be lost when the chaos resumes. .”

"Please also take care of your health, the county lord, and don't hurt your mind. I will wait for the county lord to plan." Huo Yunshu said it a bit awkwardly, because Chu Ning used the name of Tianwangzhai to rob that time, and Xiao Duan's family Everyone is in Chuning's hands, and they have been entrusted to him to take care of them.

Wang Yi nodded, but his expression was still sad, and he asked Huo Yunshu: "Where is Captain Chu? I heard that Captain Chu seems to be ill, but is he better now?"

"Lieutenant Chu has been working hard recently, and it seems to have caused a mental illness. The Bai family took him to find an expert to treat him." Before Huo Yunshu could think of an answer, Bai Qingye continued to ask: "Master, the grass people heard that The reason why Zhang Ming escaped from the prison is because someone took the token of King Jiaodong to act?"

Speaking of this, Wang Yi felt ashamed. At the beginning, Chu Ning copied the entire county government, all the original official history was driven away, and Wang Yi was replaced by his own people, but he didn't want to. Now something went wrong. It was his own man who he replaced, so he had to say bitterly: "Yes, the prisoner insisted that someone took the letter from King Jiaodong to act. Pass."

"That's it." Bai Qingye seemed to confirm something, heaved a sigh of relief, and said: "The people outside have already spread the word, and there are people in the Xiaoduan family who dare to bully the county lord so boldly. At first, I thought it was groundless, but now it seems that it is true, and the person behind these two families is probably the King of Jiaodong, right? Mr. Huo?"

While talking, Bai Qingye suddenly asked Huo Yunshu.

Huo Yunshu was startled, moved suddenly, glanced at Bai Qingye, and replied: "That's true, yesterday a soldier under Captain Chu risked his life to get the news that the King of Jiaodong sent his soldiers to pretend to be bandits Looting money everywhere... Mr. Xiaowei was angry when he first heard about it, and he was outraged."

"How...how is this possible?" Wang Yi couldn't help retorting: "Before I came to take office, I often heard the virtuous people around me say that the king of Jiaodong is a generation of virtuous kings because he is filial, benevolent, and compassionate to the people."

"Li Yan, the king of Jiaodong, the seventh son of the emperor, is the most beloved prince in the world. He became king at the age of three and became a feudal domain at the age of ten. It is said in the world that on his way to the feudal domain, an old man died because he was disturbed by his guard of honor. The king of Jiaodong felt guilty and cried for seven On this day, the old man returned to his soul for the first seven times, and thanked Wang En." Feng Jiuqing, who had always seemed a little absent-minded, suddenly interjected: "Two years ago, when Feng was in Chang'an, he heard people say that there was an auspicious appearance in the Jiaodong Palace, with the aura of a green dragon. , going around the mansion for three days..."

"That's true." Wang Yi pointed: "I heard those virtuous people say so."

Feng Jiuqing said: "But there is one thing that the county lord may not have heard of."

Wang Yi immediately asked: "What's the matter?"

"When the King of Jiaodong returns to Beijing on New Year's Eve, he will visit the houses of many dignitaries, but it is not an ordinary visit." Feng Jiuqing said: "Feng was lucky enough to see King Jiaodong's visit to friends once in the Palace of Song Dynasty. There are egg-sized pearls, chi-high white jade ornaments, and all kinds of exquisite ornaments. From a rough estimate, the value is probably no less than [-] guan."

Five thousand guan is not a small amount. Even if Chuning now has [-] soldiers under his command, the monthly salary of the army is less than one thousand guan.But this King of Jiaodong is just returning to Beijing for the New Year's Eve, and if he makes a random move, it will be thousands of guan, which can be described as rich and powerful.

"Maybe King Jiaodong and the King of Song have a good relationship, so the gift is more expensive?" Wang Yi still didn't give up, trying to find a reason for King Jiaodong.

Feng Jiuqing glanced at Wang Yi, thinking to herself, is it because Wang Yi was afraid of the other party's power, so he kept finding excuses to prevaricate, so she said bluntly: "Shu Feng's eyes are clumsy, and he couldn't see that Jiaodong King I have a good relationship with the Song Palace, and I only saw that Jiaodong King was driven out of the mansion by the little princess of the Song Palace with a long sword."

After Wang Yi heard this, he couldn't help being shocked: "How could this be?"

"Hmph!" Feng Jiuqing has always been used to being free. She has seen countless talented men, beautiful women, court officials and dignitaries, and she didn't take Wang Yi, a magistrate, to her heart. He is a brother of my compatriots, although I usually like to hang out in Huajie and Liuxiang, and I have a reputation of being afraid of my daughter, but if he is really so incompetent, how can he stay in Song Palace forever with the military power of the majestic Tiger and Cardinal Army?"

Both the Huben Army and the Habayashi Army were the emperor's pro-army, and the Habayashi Army guarded the capital, and the Huben Army guarded the palace and the emperor. From this, it can be seen that the king of Song, who has always been unobtrusive, has a position in the emperor's heart.

However, the king of Jiaodong dared to come to the door with a heavy gift blatantly, so it would be no wonder he was not kicked out of the Song Palace.Besides, as a prince entrusted to a foreign land, why he took a heavy ceremony to meet King Song and other dignitaries in the court, his intentions are self-evident.

Jiaodong Kingdom is adjacent to Donglai County, both of which are Jimo. Before the first emperor of the Qin Dynasty ruled the world, they both belonged to the Qi Kingdom and were called Dongyi in ancient times.In such a place, how much money can be spent by the King of Jiaodong, just think about it a little bit, and you will know where his money comes from.

"So, the Xiao and Duan families have oppressed the people, colluded with pirates, and plundered the people's anointing over the years. They were instigated by the King of Jiaodong? It is simply unreasonable!" Wang Yi was furious when he heard the words. I heard that Mr. Zhang, the county lieutenant, was dragged to death by the thieves tied behind a horse. He thought the thieves were too vicious, but now I know that it was actually connived by someone! Hateful! Hateful!"

In one fell swoop, he revealed the reason why the bandits and pirates in Donglai County have appeared endlessly these years. Wang Yi couldn't help being furious. Give him an idea.

"The king of Jiaodong colluded with the bandits, intending to devour the flesh and blood of our Donglai people. As long as the county lord gives an order, our guards will fight to the death!" Seeing this, Huo Yunshu immediately set up a step for Wang Yi, and said: " It’s just that Colonel Chu has developed an insanity, and he’s not in the army now, so what should we do?”

"There is no need to worry about Lieutenant Chu's affairs. I believe that the master will definitely find an expert to treat her." Bai Qingye pointed at Yan Lingge and said, "This Shaoxia Ling is a friend of the master. He has read thousands of military books. Wu Ke draws his sword and fights against heroes, and he is quite famous in Jianghu, although he dare not say it is a promise, but he can also contribute to the county lord."

"At Xia Lingge, I pay my respects to the county lord!" Yan Lingge followed Bai Su to meet the county lord a few times. Moreover, Wang Yi had great trust in Bai Su, and he even agreed with Bai Su's friends.

"Shaoxia Ling doesn't need to be too polite!" Hearing that Yan Lingge could call people from the world to help, he couldn't help being overjoyed: "I don't know how many knights Shaoxia Ling brought to help?"

"But I need to ask." Yan Lingge didn't tell the truth, there were thousands of people in Tianwang Village, and she could use all of them.

"I also hope that Ling Shaoxia can bring more people to help us tide over the difficulties and protect the people..."

"My lord, it's not impossible to bring more people, but the guards and our righteous men, who should be in charge?" Yan Lingge's eyes flicked from Huo Yunshu, and stopped on Chu Rou, who had been silent all this time: "But If it is possible, I hope that this confrontation can be handed over to the unified command of my humble servant."

As soon as Yan Lingge opened his mouth, he wanted to force the right to unite the front. Chu Rou glared at her immediately when he heard the words, but Yan Lingge ignored her, and just said to Huo Yunshu and Wang Yi: "When Ling Ge was young, he used to walk away from the border with his sword. , Zongma Donghu and Xianbei. I have been in the battle in person, and I have bloody Hushou! I also hope that the county lord and Mr. Huo will be careful!"

Chu Rou refused to accept, pressed her sword and said angrily: "The Guards Army is my sister's painstaking effort, how could it be entrusted to you to command?"

"Feng also suggested that Yan Lingge be in command." Feng Jiuqing said: "The army cannot have no generals, and orders cannot be issued twice. Everyone is under the unified command, including the subordinates and the Baifu."

Chuning followed Bai Su, and she didn't know how far she had walked, until her legs and feet were almost numb from the cold, and then she and Bai Su walked to a mountainside and stopped.

There is a small courtyard on the mountainside, with stone walls and tile houses, in a Chinese character structure, with a kitchen, study, bedroom and everything in it, and it is clean, obviously someone lives and cleans it from time to time.

After knocking on the door for a while, someone inside answered. An old man with gray hair opened the door. Seeing Bai Su, he rolled his eyes with a smile, took the lantern that was about to go out in her hand, and kept asking why it was so late. Come again, did you encounter any difficulties, whether you were hungry, whether you were cold, and other daily routines.

A rare smile appeared on the corners of Bai Su's lips, and he answered these questions one by one, took off the cloak that had been soaked in snow and put it on the shelf outside the house, and entered the house side by side with the old man.

Chuning also took off her coat, but she was not as rich and extravagant as Bai Su, so she had to shake off the snow by herself, and then carried it into the house, planning to find a place to dry it before wearing it tomorrow.

When they entered the house, firewood had already been burned in the large pottery basin on the ground. Bai Su was talking to the old man while adding firewood to it. She comes by herself.

After seeing off the old man, the two of them couldn't find anything to talk about for a while, so they warmed up by the fire, dried the clothes, and seemed to forget about enjoying the snow.

Not long after, the two hidden guards jumped into the courtyard, arranged all the utensils they had brought, and were about to serve them, but Bai Su waved his hand and asked them to take them out to eat by themselves.

All the wine was kept, there were two big earthenware jars, each as big as two of Chuning's heads, Chu Ning felt terrified when he saw it, thinking of the vinegar-like wine he drank last time, he felt a little nervous. Regret, why did I want to get drunk before?

Even though he escaped from the camp at this time and the shackles that were expected by everyone, he couldn't help worrying, if those bandits took advantage of this snowy night to come down the mountain and the guards had no leader, wouldn't they be beaten? Caught off guard?

Bai Su found two dark green wine glasses from nowhere, opened the mud seal, filled the two wine glasses with a spoon, pushed one of them slightly in front of Chuning, and poured herself a drink. stand up.

I thought that Bai Su would comfort me when she followed me through the snowy night, but I never thought that she didn't say a few words from the beginning to the end, and she didn't even ask why, and let Chuning's temper make troubles. It made Chuning rather embarrassed.

"Wine?!!!" But Chu Ning has never been a sad, indecisive person. Smelling the familiar smell of wine, he put the thoughts in his heart behind him and put the baby in his arms. Putting the clothes on his lap, he picked up the wine glass and smelled it carefully, and it really smelled like wine.

"Miss Ning actually knows this wine?" Bai Su's rare eyes flashed a few rare surprises. After all, this wine is her treasure. It was brought back by a caravan from Dawan Kingdom thousands of miles away. However, there are not many people who can drink this kind of wine.

"Grape wine luminous glass!" Chu Ning felt that he had really increased his knowledge, because the local tyrant's master Bai really served wine in a luminous glass.

After sighing, Chuning drank the wine slowly and savored it slowly. Compared with the thing Chuning drank before, this is indeed a good wine. Although the alcohol content is very low, but fortunately there is no wine Those unbearable smells.

When Chuning finished drinking a glass of wine and opened his eyes, he saw Bai Su staring at her without blinking, his burning eyes were like X-rays, as if he wanted to study her thoroughly.

"I did a business before, and I was lucky enough to snatch a small bottle of this thing. Uncle Huo is well-informed and told us that this is a top-grade wine." Bai Su felt guilty, and Chu Ning hurriedly made up a story.

But she didn't know whether Bai Su believed it or not, but she still looked away, added another glass to Chuning, and said slowly: "Wine is good wine, but unfortunately, the people of Daqing can't afford it."

"Why? Didn't Marquis Bowang bring back grapes when he was envoy to the Western Regions?"

Chu Ning couldn't help but feel strange. It is said that Zhang Qian had already brought back grapes during his envoy to the Western Regions during Emperor Wu of the previous dynasty. , loquat, red bayberry, cherry, grape, lychee... It makes people drool, why has this wine become a luxury product?

"There are grapes, but no secret recipe for wine making. How can we make wine? Although many merchants have invited winemakers from the Western Regions, they still can't make this taste." Bai Su drank another cup, The fair face was dyed a little rosy, like melting ice and snow, and it became more friendly: "Besides, grapes are only grown by rich and noble people to eat them fresh. Ordinary people can't afford them."

After a pause, Bai Su didn't know what came to mind, she rarely talked a lot, her tone changed from her usual calm and gentle tone, and she said sadly: "When I was in Chang'an in the past, every time I tasted something good, I always thought about it. It’s so delicious, how can ordinary people not eat it? Even a full meal is an extravagant hope.”

After two glasses of wine and a brazier burning, Chuning immediately regained his composure, looked at the slightly different Master Bai tonight, and asked Bai Su lazily, "Have you thought it through yet? "

"Probably came up with some reason." Bai Suge took the initiative to refill two glasses of wine.

"Why?" Chu Ning continued the topic casually while holding the wine glass, thinking to himself, maybe this Bai Dadao is not a naturally indifferent person, but because he has been away for a long time, he is used to seeing the dark side of people's hearts in the world, and his psychology has been affected to a certain extent. Because of the degree of trauma, that's why he put on such an ice-sculpted appearance to reject people for thousands of miles, but in any case, the three views are still quite legitimate.

"People who live in power are afraid of people's wealth." Immediately, Bai Su looked radiant, and he was no longer cold as usual: "So, they emphasize agriculture and suppress business, let the people all over the world plant land, and secretly become businessmen by themselves All the money in the hands of the people is taken away.”

I go!It turns out that the cold goddess is actually an angry youth?

Chu Ning was a little surprised, and drank the wine in the glass in one gulp, to suppress her shock, and then she heard herself say even more angrily: "Wealth lies in magic skills, not labor; A lot of resources are privately owned, mining and selling salt to make a lot of money, but the people who farm and farm are required to pay taxes for them! It’s simply a monster that eats people and doesn’t spit out their bones!”

This "they" refers to the "powerful" capital, referring to those wealthy and powerful aristocratic families. They mine various minerals, sell private salt, and own a lot of fertile land. They occupy most of the resources and hand in the least. However, he is still not satisfied, and he can't wait to suck blood from those ordinary people who are like ants.

During Emperor Wu of the previous dynasty, he proposed the official salt and iron camp. As a result, until now, the salt and iron official camp has been intermittent, and no emperor has implemented it. Therefore, all the country’s expenditures have always been backlogged in farming. On the civilians who farm the land, these civilians not only have to bear all kinds of taxes, they also have to bear military service, labor... and so on.

"It turns out that Miss Ning has also read Huan Cigong's "Salt and Iron Theory." Bai Su was a little surprised, because she had seen the handwriting written by Chu Ning, and the handwriting was quite strong, and there were many people who lacked pen and drawing. She thought that Chu Ning must have read and read very little, but she didn't expect that she seemed to have read the theory of salt and iron. It seemed that after reading it, she felt quite a bit and realized it. Profound truth.

Chu Ning didn't know that she was not only disliked by Bai Su for not having enough looks, but also for not reading enough. However, she had read the theory of salt and iron, and, in her own opinion, she was actually very similar to Bai Su.I am quite disgusted with those powerful people who, on the one hand, persuade the country not to compete with the people for profit, but own resources;

Of course, although Huan Cigong's "Salt and Iron Theory" literally focuses on the debate between state-owned monopoly and free economy, in fact, what is involved behind the scenes is that Huo Guang, Sang Hongyang and the Confucian group, the two powerful ministers at the time, Tripartite political game.

Chu Ning's views on "Salt and Iron Theory" are really not profound in terms of her previous world, but she stands on the shoulders of a giant of the era, and her vision and thoughts are no longer limited to one scene. In the written debates, what she saw was the contest of social, economic, political, military, legal, moral and other forces.

Unknowingly, the two talked about the political situation of the previous dynasty from "Salt and Iron Theory", and then talked about the current Daqing from the previous dynasty.

"There are the Xianbei Donghu in the north, and the Qiang Huns in the west. Although the southern barbarians were scattered by the general Gu Wenxiong and hid in the mountains, they can go down the mountains at any time to cause trouble." Speaking of family and country affairs, Bai Su's eyes were sharp, and his momentum rose: "Everyone The wolves stare at each other, hating those people in the imperial court who live on their corpses, who, regardless of the danger of the country, are still fighting for power and oppressing the people! Hateful!"

Since Chu Ning came to this world, he has been busy earning money to manage the army and get food. Before he had time to figure out the situation around the country, he asked Huo Yunshu, and he knew the situation of Xianbei and Donghu in the north. Hearing what Bai Su said at this moment, Immediately, the alarm bells rang in my heart, and I couldn't help but think of the history of the original world.

In the history of the original world, the world was indeed in chaos at the end of the Western Han Dynasty, and there was indeed a female leader of the rebel army named "Mother Lu", and she was even known as the first female leader of the rebel army in the history of China.However, her ending was a failure of the uprising, and there was no record in any book that she had a adopted daughter named Yun Baiyi.

And the history of this world seems to have changed from Yun Baiyi. Ye Qingmei and Li Huan, two people who may not have existed in history, appeared one after another, and the Eastern Han Dynasty, which should have continued to rule for more than a hundred years, appeared one after another. The regime was replaced by the current Daqing Dynasty.

In the original history, the Western Han Dynasty was followed by the Eastern Han Dynasty, and then the Three Kingdoms, Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties...

Listening to Bai Su talking about the national conditions around Daqing, Chuning only felt that he was familiar with it, and unconsciously repeated it many times: "Xianbei, Donghu, Qiang, Huns... one is missing..."

"Miss Jiu, have you heard of the Di clan?" Chuning heard herself asking Bai Su in a trembling voice, expecting her to say no.

"Di clan?" Bai Su thought for a while, and quickly responded, "Of course I have heard about it, but the Di clan surrendered to Daqing and lived in Chouchi. Today, the emperor issued a decree to confer the title of their leader, Yang Maosou, as 'Grand Chouchi. '."

Yang Maosou... Qiu Chigong! ——Even the name and title have not changed!

Suddenly, Chu Ning's heart was ashamed, as if being soaked in the coldest water in the world, from body to heart, it was cold to the bone marrow...

In the original history, at the end of the Western Jin Dynasty, Qin and Yong prefectures suffered from drought for years, and Li Xiong, the leader of one of the Di tribes, led his people to Shu and established the Chenghan regime.Liu Yuan, an aristocrat of the Huns, set up an army in Lishi, known as Han and Zhao in history...

This is the cruelest era from the Three Kingdoms to Sui Tang, the bloodiest and darkest era in the entire history, and an era known as a thousand-year nightmare - the "five random China" that lasted for more than a hundred years will be resolved by This kicked off the prelude.

Chu Ning has read relevant records. At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty and the Three Kingdoms period, there were about 2000 million people. When Ran Min destroyed Jiezhao, there were only about 400 million Han people in the Central Plains. It was not until the Tang Dynasty that they slowly recovered.

During the period of "Wu Huan Hua", the Han people were called "two-legged sheep", which means sheep that walk on two feet. Women are raped/prostituted by soldiers at night, and slaughtered and cooked during the day...

Now that Daqing has been in power for more than a hundred years, the upper aristocratic management class has long been corrupted, and the lower class people are in dire straits, and it is time for a new generation—could it be said that the history of deviation will be reversed again?Get everything back to square one?

The author has something to say: Wealth lies in spells, not in labor, but in power, not in hard farming: from Huan Kuan's "On Salt and Iron". "

The word "shiju" in the original text may refer to geographical location, but the word also has the meaning of status, which is taken in the text.

The history of Wuhuluanhua is indeed cruel and cruel. More than 1000 million people just disappeared...
