Listening to Pan Fangping's words, Zhang Luan was stunned for a moment and said, "Is my brother joking?" Jia Xianggong is an important minister in the court, and he is the most relied on by the officials, you go to persuade him not to fall into the mouth of a tiger? And if the incident is leaked, how many people will be implicated! ”

Pan Fangping said: "I have my own plans for this matter, so I don't have to worry." When I made the arrangements, I saw him with a sharp sword, and I gave up, but if I didn't, I would take his life with a knife in my hand. At that time, the Daimyo's Mansion will have to raise things together, and the Daimyo's charm will be at your fingertips! ”

Bu Ji said: "The matter is big, my brother still has to think carefully." One blow missed, and dozens of state brothers were implicated. ”

Hu Yong'er served the wine and food, poured the wine, and Pan Fangping said: "Okay, let's not talk about this matter first, let's talk about the surrounding counties." ”

Wang Zedao: "This winter's move is already on the string, and it has to be sent." In the past few months, there have been Shenzhou Pang Dan, Qizhou Motor, Zhang Qing and others who have all received my sigils, and when we do something here, they will respond there. Connecting several states together can make a big deal! ”

Pan Fangping slapped the table: "Okay!" In recent months, I have traveled to several states, not only in Lanzhou and Xiangzhou, but also in the east and west. When the time comes, one state will inevitably do something, and the world will respond. ”

Speaking of this, Pan Fangping drank a glass of wine, lowered his voice, and said mysteriously: "Not only that, but even in the palace, there are also our incense people. However, this matter is secret, and I have only heard about it, so I can't go into details. ”

When they heard this, the eyes of the rest lit up. If there is a brother in the palace who stabs the emperor to death when the matter is raised, a big event can be expected.

In the pavilion on the second floor of Jiuqu Building, Du Zhongxiao, together with Cheng Wenli and Pan Zhen, frequently persuaded Wang Kai and Zhe Jimin, who were sitting in the guest seats, to drink.

Wang Kai was about to be transferred to the capital, served as the commander of the four compartments of the Dragon Shenwei, promoted to the general of the management army, and specially went to the volcano army to bid farewell to Du Zhongxiao. Zhi Jimin accompanied him and came to the Volcano Army as a guest.

Since Zheng Jian, in the name of the Economic Strategy Division, Guangxiu Hedong Road Road, the supply of grain and grass on Linfu Road has been much looser. Not to mention, since the development of Tanglong Town, the money of the two states of Linfu has come out of here, and Zhe Jimin is the one who has benefited the most, so he specially took the opportunity to thank Du Zhongxiao.

Looking at the bustling street market outside, Zhi Jimin said: "I have also been here before the Volcano Army, except for Dongjiazhai, this area is desolate, I don't want it to be lively now!" This area has always been known as a big city, but it is far less than here. ”

Du Zhongxiao said: "Within hundreds of miles around, there is a piece of land here that is flat, and it will naturally develop if it attracts people. ”

Wang Kai said: "The army doesn't have to be too humble, since the founding of the country, there are dozens of people who have been in charge here, and the Volcano Army is not like that?" It has only been more than a year since the arrival of the Zhijun, and it has become an important place, and merchants have gathered, and everyone has seen this credit. ”

Zhe Ji Min also said: "Since the founding of the country, Tanglong Town has been attached to this dynasty and is under the jurisdiction of my Zhe family. Because of its long distance, he has never asked about its affairs. If the court was in a hurry, they would hide in the east of the river, and the Khitan would be in a hurry, so they would hide in the west of the river, and the two sides would sway. The Zhijun not only recovered the important place, but also overhauled the road, and in a short time it was connected with the Volcano Army, which was unbreakable. This kind of credit is not easy! ”

After speaking, together with Wang Kai, I had a drink with Du Zhongxiao.

Sitting down again, Zhi Jimin said: "I heard that the wool weaving here of the Volcano Army is thriving, and wool is in urgent need. The two prefectures of Linfu are mountainous in the territory, and there are many sheep raising households and wool. I have ordered someone to buy it, and when I sell it here, it will be convenient for the army. ”

Du Zhongxiao said: "Zhizhou rest assured, as long as it is shipped, it will be purchased at the price." The good wool produced here is the most suitable for making robes, and if you buy some back, it is better than silk. ”

Zhi Jimin smiled and shook his head: "I've seen the robes you made, and it's a good thing." However, the price is really expensive, where can ordinary soldiers afford to wear it? When the price drops in the future, it can be negotiated. ”

Du Zhongxiao said: "Wool is cheap, wool is naturally cheap." As long as the surrounding households raise more sheep, the price is like cloth in the morning and evening. ”

After gossiping, talking about autumn grain, Zhi Jimin said: "A large part of this year's grain and grass in Fuzhou fell here in the Volcano Army. I know you have a lot of wheat here, and although the wheat flour is good, it is not easy to store. It is also hoped that when the army sends grain and grass, it will use millet as much as possible. ”

Du Zhongxiao laughed when he heard it: "This is the best!" I still have a lot of uses for wheat noodles here! Look at the outside, most of the shops use wheat noodles, and I don't know how much they use every year. This year, the grain harvest is more, and the corn should be enough. As for the grass, alfalfa has been harvested in the nearby mountains this spring, and if Zhizhou does not dislike it, some can be transported. ”

Zhi Jimin was overjoyed when he heard it: "Then thank you to the Zhijun!" As horse feed, alfalfa is much stronger than grass! ”

Several people drank until the afternoon, and Zhi Jimin said goodbye first because he wanted to go to Tanglong Town to have a look. Cheng Wenli has been idle recently and went with him. Pan Zhen wanted to go back to the yamen to deal with affairs, and he also left together.

Everyone left, Wang Kai and Du Zhongxiao drank a few more glasses of wine, and said: "Zhijun, now that the Volcano Army is thriving, if you leave, will you be reluctant?" The Volcano Army is thriving in your hands, and if you do it for another two years, the court will be reused. ”

Hearing this, Du Zhongxiao was stunned for a moment, and then said lightly: "Zhan Zhi, do you have something to say?" The two of us have known each other for a long time, occupying Tanglong Town together, building the surroundings like iron buckets, and our friendship is no better than others. ”

Wang Kai said: "Then I'll say it directly." This time, I entered Beijing as the commander of the Dragon God Guard, firstly, because I was rewarded for my contribution to guarding the border, and secondly, because the imperial court saw that the artillery was sharp, and wanted to use it in the forbidden army. Artillery weapons are the first ones that the Zhijun came up with and used, who is more familiar with you than you? So I thought, let you come to Beijing with me, find a suitable ministry, and do this. In the future, it is all the credit of the two of us. ”

Du Zhongxiao said: "I am a military general, I am a civil minister, but I am afraid that it will not be easy to recommend." ”

Wang Kai said: "I have my own way. When I return to Beijing this time, I will inevitably see some old people in my family, and there are those who are able to find a way. Wenchen is the most expensive pavilion, the army is a scholar, and there are many meritorious appointments, and the pavilion should be called. ”

"This kind of thing, it's even more difficult-" After Du Zhongxiao finished speaking, he felt that it was inappropriate, and hurriedly closed his mouth. No matter how big Wang Kaiguan is, he is also a military general, where can he speak in this kind of thing? Originally, with Xia La's relationship with Du Zhongxiao, he could recommend it. However, the relationship between the two is not close, and Du Zhongxiao's term of office has not ended, so there has been no movement in this matter.

But after thinking about it, Wang Kai's grandfather was Wang Quanbin, the founder of the country, with a deep background. In the past, when Wang Kai was a prodigal, those old people pretended not to know, but now he is a general in charge of the army, which is another matter.

The pavilion has always been a place for cultivating talents, as long as you bring the pavilion position, not only is the promotion faster than others, but more importantly, you have a special identity and become a person known to the emperor. There are many ways for officials to be promoted to officials. Generally, it is the court of officials and judges, called the provincial division, and Du Zhongxiao was before. Although this kind of identity also has a decree and a resignation, it is mostly a routine, not to mention the emperor, even the prime minister has no impression, and a good errand will never fall on him. There is also a kind of Tang Elimination, whose name is on the roster of the prime minister, and is remembered by the prime minister and the ruling party, so there are some good errands. The highest level is naturally Jian Zai's heart, and the emperor remembers that there is such a person, and it will not follow the routine to be promoted at this step.

(Happy New Year, and an early New Year!) ）
