In October, Jiaozhou was still enthusiastic, Fa Miao and Yang Xi each held a fishing rod, sat on the side of the boat, drinking wine and eating melons and fruits, while there was a word of idle talk. The sea is calm, the turquoise water and the blue sky merge together, which makes people feel refreshed, and there is a feeling of laziness that arose when they left their troubles behind and slept for a while.

Tall coconut trees stretch along the coast into the distance, and ripe coconuts hang in the canopy, waiting to be picked. One of the warriors put a rope on his feet, climbed up like a monkey, drew a short knife from his waist, and cut off several of the largest coconuts. Heavy coconuts fell from the trees and smashed several large holes in the sand.

Zhang Xingcai and Wei Yinglan ran over with cheers, one picked up one and ran, Xiao Wei Zheng followed behind and chased hard, but he couldn't catch up, and shouted in a hurry: "Auntie, aunt, wait for me to ......" The crisp children's voice went all the way into the distance.

Yang Xi stroked his beard, shook his head and smiled: "When I think of the bloody battle in the Central Plains, I think this is the Kingdom of Heaven." You see, the wind is calm, the world is peaceful, what a beautiful area. I want to write an article "Jiaozhou Fu", so that those who stay in Chengdu and refuse to come can see the beauty here. ”

As he spoke, he raised his glass and shook it gently, not with wine, but with snow-white coconut water. Coconut water is sweet to quench thirst, and this is the most haode drink for Yang Xi, who does not drink much. If he doesn't drink a few big glasses a day, he won't dare to stop.

Fa Miao hugged his legs, looked at the blue water below, and smiled silently.

"In my opinion, you can write. But you can't let them see it now. ”

“weishenme？” Yang Xi raised his eyebrows: "Are you worried that my pen power is not enough, which makes people laugh?" ”

"Definitely." Fa Miao raised his head and looked at Yang Xi with a smile. "You should know that it is not the most opportune time for the prime minister to start a war at this time. Since Guanzhong started, it was less than two years when it was really peaceful, and the accumulation was limited, and it was by no means easy to supply an army of more than 100,000 people. At this time, boasting of the wealth of Jiaozhou is afraid that it will cause unnecessary trouble to the general. ”

Yang Xi sighed and patted his knee. He also knows a little about the situation that Fa Miao said. The prime minister's idea is probably to ask Wei Ba to be his logistics officer. But Wei Ba refused to do so. He insisted on providing it for a fee, and Zuihou's 200,000 fire bombs and 500,000 stone rice were IOUs from the prime minister, which was regarded as a little face given by Wei Ba to the prime minister.

There is no doubt that Wei Ba did not approve of this war. But he did it so resolutely. It was a surprise to everyone. After all, he is still the Zhennan general of Shu Han. Jiaozhou and Jingzhou are not his private property, but the territory of Shu Han, and he is just a manager. It's not the owner, and it seems a little unreasonable to use it for business. At least Yang Xi felt that this was a little inappropriate. What's more, Wei Yan is still on the battlefield, Wei Ba himself is so leisurely, sitting back and watching his father suffer, and Yu Xiaodao is injured.

Yang Xi sighed. He had already said such a thing, but he was blocked back by Wei Ba's words. Wei Ba said that as a general of Zhennan, he only listened to the orders of two people, one was Bixia and the other was a general, and the Prime Minister's Mansion could not control him. The prime minister sent troops, but he did not get the edict of Bixia, nor did he get the permission of the General's Mansion, to put it mildly, this is a chaotic life, can I support a chaotic life? I'm already taking a risk by selling materials to the prime minister in a private way, do you want me to break the law? Don't forget, the prime minister ruled the country by law, he and Li Yan were both the formulators of "Shu Branch", he knew the law and broke the law, and I haven't written to impeach him.

Yang Xi was very helpless, he couldn't refute Wei Ba, whether it was in official or private, Wei Ba was well-founded. It's just that he still thinks that this is a bit inappropriate and contrary to the teachings of the saints. As soon as he thought of this, he was a little uneasy, and took another big sip of coconut water.

Fa Miao saw it in his eyes, but didn't say anything. Yang Xi's articles are well written, but they are a little pedantic, he is not unable to see the strangeness in the court, but he can't go against the sage books he has read, he enjoys the wealth and comfort brought by Wei Ba, but he can't have a clear conscience, and entanglement is inevitable.

Fa Miao was not entangled at all, because he knew very well that Wei Ba was now holding his troops and taking the opportunity of the war between the three kingdoms to accumulate wealth and accumulate strength, which was the wisest decision. At this point, there is no turning back for him, it is impossible to be a submissive minister, and then he is bound by those dogmas, he has only a dead end.

"What do you two say?" Wei Ba walked over quickly, and Fa Miao and Yang Xi hurriedly got up to greet each other. Wei Ba haha smiled, waved his hand, and took a small horse and sat down. He looked at Yang Hong, and then at Fa Miao: "Do you two have static thoughts?" ”

Fa Miao's eyes flashed: "The general has a mission?" ”

"Hmm." Wei Ba rubbed his hands: "We have a sunny and spring here, but it is about to snow in northern Xinjiang." My father led the army to the battle, facing the wind and lying in the snow, and I, as a son, didn't mean that I really didn't want to go. I prepared 10,000 sets of winter clothes and planned to send them to him, but I don't know who would like to go. ”

Fa Miao thought for a moment and said with a smile: "It's bitter cold in northern Xinjiang, I'm in better health, so I'll go." Wen Ran's body is too weak, don't freeze him. ”

Yang Xi rolled his eyes, but did not refute, he really had no interest in going to northern Xinjiang to be frozen.

"Okay, then there's Lao Boyuan." Wei Ba didn't say anything more, took off his coat, picked up the fishing rod, and with a slight flick of his wrist, the hook flew out as if it had a spirit and fell into the water. Wei Ba caught the fish with great interest, and in the blink of an eye, he left the war in the Central Plains behind.

……

Chang'an, Yang Yi sat in the hall, there were a lot of official documents and account books piled up on the case in front of him, Yang Yi sat in it, his hand kept waving, one by one the names came out of his mouth, and one by one the account books were sent out from his hands, he seemed to be a general sitting in the Chinese army, and he was sending troops to send generals, commanding thousands of troops and horses to attack the city and seize the land, chasing the dead and chasing the north.

In the hall, more than 20 people were waiting, pricking up their ears, listening to Yang Yi's voice, and as soon as they heard their name, they quickly stepped forward, either to receive a task, or to answer a question, or to ...... He was dragged down with a rod and reprimanded. Yang Yi is good at calculation, and it is difficult to hide any problem in the accounts from his eyes, once he finds out, it is inevitable to take off his pants and spank, and he may even lose his official position in court.

Yang Changshi is not an indecisive person, he is resolute in doing things and never forgives.

So although there were a lot of people in the courtyard, apart from his voice and the sound of the board, there were not many people talking. Once Yang Changshi is annoyed, no one dares to guarantee that it will not cause unwarranted disasters.

Yang Yi suddenly put down the pen in his hand, picked up an official document, looked up and down, and shouted: "Feng Yi is too guarded by Cheng An." ”

Cheng An got up, walked quickly to the hall, and bowed.

Yang Yi glanced at him and said in a cold voice: "The prime minister ordered Feng Yi to solve the lack of money and food, and the strong man weishenme?" ”

Cheng An bowed and said: "I don't know in the long history, the Prime Minister's Mansion is based on the number of households last year, and the task is not in line with the reality. Since the army gathered in Chang'an at the beginning of the year, many people expected that the war was about to begin, and fled south.......

"When you say that, are you putting the responsibility for the exodus of the people on the prime minister?" Yang Yi sneered: "As a county guard, I can't appease the people of the county, resulting in a decrease in household registration, but shirk responsibility, is this what a gentleman should do?" The Northern Expedition and the restoration of the Han Dynasty are the great righteousness of the world, those ordinary people don't understand, and you don't understand? ”

Cheng An's pale brows frowned slightly. He has dealt with Yang Yi for many years, and he knows that the imprint of the Wei family on his body is too deep, and it is inevitable to be embarrassed by Yang Yi, but Yang Yi blames him so much, he still refuses to pinch his nose and accept it.

"Long history, seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages, human nature. The people fled the war, it was not Fengyi County, as far as I know, there are many people in Jingzhao and Fufeng. As Feng Yi's Taishou, his household registration has decreased, so he is naturally guilty, but this is not due to the lack of way to appease the town, and please ask for a long history. ”

Yang Yi's face suddenly sank. Jingzhao Taishou is Zhao Su, but after the prime minister was stationed in Chang'an, the power of Jingzhao actually fell into the hands of Yang Yi.

"I didn't expect Cheng Fujun to be so attentive, and he even took care of Jingzhao and Fufeng." Yang Yi sneered: "I want to ask Cheng Fujun, the money and food that Weishenme Jingzhao and Fufeng should pay are not bad at all, but you Feng Yi is missing nearly thirty percent?" ”

Cheng An smiled slightly: "The money and food that Jingzhao and Fufeng should pay are not bad, it does not mean that the accounts of Jingzhao and Fufeng have not decreased, whether it has decreased, there is a book, and you will know it after a long history." Feng Yi's money and grain are less than 30% because Feng Yi's household registration is less than 30%, which does not conflict with the national law. An is also incompetent, fearing that distributing the lack of money and food to the heads of the people who have not fled, which will cause more people to flee, and I am afraid that it will be even more difficult to deal with the situation at that time. ”

"Bold!" Yang Yi was furious and shouted, "Come on, pull Cheng An down, and scold the second ...... Thirty. ”

Cheng An sank his face and glared angrily: "Dare to ask Changshi, what is Cheng An's crime?" ”

"You obstruct the prime minister's great cause of restoring the Central Plains, isn't it enough of a crime?"

"!" There was a break from the door, Wei Yan strode in, two guards stepped forward to stop them, Wei Yan didn't even look at them, and the two soldiers behind him had already stepped forward and blocked them. The guards were glared at by the warriors and were too frightened to step forward. Wei Yan went straight to the hall and arched his hand to Cheng An: "Cheng Gong is okay here?" ”

Cheng An arched his hand helplessly: "Thank you for the general's concern, the old man is still in good health." ”

Wei Yan said a few more words, and raised his hand to signal Cheng An to retreat slightly. Cheng An retreated from the hall, Wei Yan faced Yang Yi, pursed his lips, and snorted: "I just heard from Changshi that someone obstructed the prime minister's great cause of restoring the Central Plains, I don't know what's going on?" ”

As soon as Yang Yi saw Wei Yan, she was furious, and she was not interested in answering Wei Yan's words at all, so she asked directly: "The general is here, why is it that he is here?" If you have something, you can quickly say that I have a lot of things to do here, and I don't have time to receive the general. ”

"I'm afraid it's not small." Wei Yan sneered: "The army is about to go on the march, and there are still three thousand sets of winter clothes missing?" ”

Yang Yi understood as soon as he heard it, he stood up and laughed contemptuously: "General Zhenbei, could it be that the Wei family on the rich side can't even match the winter clothes of three thousand soldiers, and they still have to bear the responsibility of the Prime Minister's Mansion?" ”…… (To be continued......)
