Chapter 21: The Way Back

Strictly speaking, there are not only six edicts in the Erhai area, but there are forty or fifty people who call themselves "edicts", but there are six edicts in the strongest, so they are called six edicts. And subdividing it further, judging from the language barrier and different customs in the Liuzhao area next to a mountain, there are three hundred "countries", which are all said to be less.

However, the relationship between the Six Edicts and the Central Empire can still be attached, for example, there are many people who claim to be descendants of the Mourning Prison, and some people call themselves "Evil Dragon Miao Descendants", this "evil dragon" refers specifically to the evil dragon county of the Han Dynasty, and it was completely extinguished after the fall of Nanchen.

Therefore, the degree of "sinicization" of the six edicts is there, but more often is the fact that local forces isolate the Central Plains in the form of "Huhua" in order to achieve the established fact of "warlord separation".

For Li Dong, the benefits of this broken place are almost equal to nothing, and he has no desire to directly rule and manage. After all, in the final analysis, even Jiannan cannot be said to be the "front line" of the Tang Empire Limited Liability Company. The management of the Liuzhao region, the rate of return is low, just ask Zhuge Liang.

A genius such as Zhuge Wuhou still wants to "capture seven barbarian kings seven times", definitely not because Wuhou is shaking S, and Meng Shu is shaking M......

From the moment it was born, Yunnan County has only one request, don't come to find fault with yourself, OK?

Meng Huo said "I don't think it's okay" at the beginning, and after seven captures and seven verticals, he shouted "I think it's OK", and then Zhuge Wuhou smiled and said, "I think it's ordinary", and after several adjustments, this made the entire Shu Han rear say "I think it's okay".

Because of a series of divine operations of Zhuge Wuhou, there is a noble class in the entire southwest region, and they can pretend not to understand the Guanzhong dialect, but they must not pretend that they don't know Chinese characters.

Exchanges exist, but the Central Plains has been cut from Penglai East Road to Nantianmen at every turn in the past two hundred years, and the "Seven Sages" in the southwest really can't understand the "Heavenly Court" market.

Although Wu Denian had several edicts to go to Chang'an to pay tribute, many of the barbarians who went to Chang'an at that time wanted to see the direction of the wind and seriously wanted to establish bilateral exchanges with the central court, but basically did not.

"What did Zhang Hongshen say in reply?"

In Linzhang Mountain, the eldest grandson Wuji was feeding the goldfish, and Zhang De, who was standing on the side watching the fish compete for food, replied: "There are two candidates, one is Uncle Jindashi, and the other is Su Dingfang." ”

"No. Not. ”

The old yin shook his head without thinking about it: "Niu Xiu is reused, and the old man doesn't hide it from you, the emperor originally planned to store Niu Xiu for the prince." It's just that the world is unpredictable, and I never thought that the northern land would be decided immediately, and as for the Western Regions, all of them fell into my hands. I thought that there would always be variables in Tibet, but an idle man like Li Chunfeng as the emperor actually stirred up Tibet, and now it has become a pot of porridge. ”

Lao Zhang didn't dare to say that he did it himself, but there were a lot of moths, and they couldn't get out of it with him, of course, Lao Zhang didn't dare to tell the old yin......

"As for Su Dingfang, his qualifications are not enough. If you have the qualifications to guard Gyeonggi, it's not bad, but now, let's seek to make contributions to the Western Regions. ”

Saying that, the eldest grandson Wuji also joked, "If Su Lie is willing to recognize the old man as his father-in-law, he can do it." ”

Burst!

"Ahem, ahem......"

Lao Zhang just drank a sip of tea and sprayed it into the pond.

"Then in the opinion of the eldest grandson, who is available?"

Closing the lid on the fish food box, the eldest grandson Wuji clapped his hands and said while pacing, "There is one person, the old man thinks it is very possible." ”

"Who?"

"Liu Hongji."

"If that old thing becomes an angel and appeases the southwest, I'm afraid it's not going to be a bad thing."

Lao Zhang frowned, obviously not optimistic about this person.

"Yes, Lao Liu is capable of this kind of thing. If this guy wants to say that he is timid, he is really cowardly as a mouse; can be bold, can be called bold. If he is allowed to see the copper mountain, I am afraid that he will not sell us in an instant and immediately join the emperor, and the copper mountain will earn a favor. You also know that China has little copper, and if the southwest copper mountain is really convenient for logging, these six edicts will all die! ”

"The output of Yiyu Copper Mountain is okay at the moment, at most two or three years, I'm afraid that even Shandong can't fill it. The eldest grandson has been in the center for a long time, and he knows better than me how the taxes have been paid in the past ten years. ”

"The old man is precisely clear that he will say this."

After that, the eldest grandson Wuji frowned slightly, and looked at Zhang Deti, ", what do you think of Cheng Zhijie?" ”

"The old man is too shrewd, he seems to be reckless, but he is actually shrewd. To say something that offended the eldest grandson, just look at the present, the Cheng family is longer than the eldest grandson. ”

"What kind of offense is this, the eldest grandson is a relative, and if he can last for two more generations, the old man will be satisfied." Smiled a little bitterly, and sighed at the eldest grandson Wuji looked at a clump of green bamboo outside the pavilion, "There are many new upstarts, and there are also about the head of the Long army, the Shandong clan, how can the eldest grandson clan prosper." ”

"So, why did the eldest grandson mention Cheng Zhijie?"

"Leave a way back?"

The eldest grandson Wuji asked rhetorically, as if there was no answer.

As the governor of Jingchu Province and the Zhongshu Order, the eldest grandson Wuji, who should have been powerful, is actually trembling on thin ice, far less free and easy than Zhenguan fifteen years ago.

The queen was originally surnamed Changsun, but unfortunately, now it has completely become "Li Changsun's family", and the youngest of the three sons is sixteen years old, which can be said to be fearless.

Even if the emperor really wants to abolish the crown prince, is it possible that he can still choose someone other than the queen?

And the resources that the queen has now, even if her three biological sons really died violently, it is enough to force the harem concubine to pass on her son "willingly" to her.

Just from the identity of the company's proprietor, Queen Changsun's reliance on the eldest grandson has reached its lowest point. There is no one woman in the entire Changsun clan who is powerful and rich, what else is there to say?

In the face of a strong emperor and a distracted sister, the old yin had to choose the back road, but the most reliable back road that happened to be Zhang De.

Back then, the carriage asked questions, and the eldest grandson Wuji could not have predicted today's world. But in all fairness, Eldest Sun Wuji thinks that the current situation can be said to be quite good, at least he still has the power to resist, even if this force is not born in his hands.

"Compared with Cheng Zhijie and Liu Hongji, it is also half a catty to eight taels."

sighed a little helplessly, although Cheng Biting Jin and Zhang Gongjin have a good relationship, but in terms of the bottom line of life, Cheng Biting Jin and Liu Hongji are all the way, and their life creed is about the same: Lao Tzu has a bottom line, and if he provokes Lao Tzu, Lao Tzu will lower the bottom line!

"That'...... This is the angel candidate to appease the southwest, but do you still have to investigate? ”

Zhang De asked.

"What is the estimated mining in Southwest Copper Mountain?"

"There is a place in Rongzhou next to Qianzhong, and at least 300,000 yuan is required."

"One place?"

"One place." Zhang De nodded affirmatively, "After all, it is not as difficult as Fusang, the southwest mountain road is more difficult than Bashu, and the Shu road is still as difficult as climbing to the sky, let alone such a land boundary?" ”

"In this way, the road must be repaired, but you can't go to Bashu."

"We can still stretch out our hands in Qianzhong, and Zhufangzhai also has some affection. If you go to Bashu, it will be a lot of trouble, there are many Tu tribes, and they will be bought one by one, but I am afraid that they will have to invest one or two hundred thousand. ”

"In the final analysis, the candidates to appease the southwest, in addition to qualifications, must also be older than the battle."

The eldest grandson Wuji frowned slightly, such candidates are actually not few, but there are not many people who are willing to take risks. When I got to the southwest, I found that there were copper mountains everywhere, and my first thought was to serve the emperor to death, so I was still playing a fart.

"It's better to ...... Wait, it's not us who is in a hurry right now, but the Ran family. ”

"Just wait and see what happens."

Eldest Sun Wuji nodded, he did have a little imbalance, but he quickly adjusted. In the final analysis, no matter how extensive the Southwest Copper Mountain is, before it is dug up, it is a stone.

As for investing money in excavation, it will cost two or three hundred thousand yuan in one place, and this initial investment alone is not something that ordinary people can bear.

As Zhang De said, the anxious people can't take their turn first, and the Ran clan that is active in the capital attacks everywhere, and when it was reported that the emperor in Liaodong took Niu Jinda as the governor of Pyongyang, the Ran clan suddenly stopped.

It's just that some people found that in Wuzhuang Temple in the south of Chang'an City, it seems that someone went to visit Qin Qiong, who lived in seclusion.
