Chapter 732: News from the North
Yue Fei learned that Gaotuo Mountain had left Taihang Mountain, and there was no change in attitude, but he asked Guo Sheng to escort Gongsun Sheng and his party out of Jiulong Gorge with 300 horsemen, and everyone walked for another five days to reach Jincheng; Inside and outside the city gate, there were soldiers in armor standing guard and patrolling up and down the tower, each holding a weapon with a serious face.
The officers at the gate knew Gongsun Sheng, asked about the situation, and immediately sent people to the state government to report, and after a while, Yang Zhi and Quan Yangzi went to the city gate to greet everyone; no one expected that they would meet Master Tianxin at the city gate, and it turned out that Datong Mansion invited Master Tianxin to go to various places in the clouds to appease the people; the methods of the government were playing a slippery game, and Master Tianxin was not easy to refuse, so he chose to pass by from Yingzhou, just to see Yang Zhi and Wang Laozhi.
Yang Zhi explained that he could not open a field, but arranged a meeting every five and ten to allow the people of all tribes to trade freely, and at the same time welcomed merchants from all over the world, and the southern merchants brought tea and porcelain and other items to exchange horses and saddles on the grassland, jewelry, carpet and wine from the Western Regions, musk sand fox skin and white camels from Western Xia.
Yang Zhi set up a banquet at his own house to entertain everyone, laughing all the way to the fish and sheep fresh wine shop; the fish and sheep fresh wine shop is renovated, Yang Zhi is the real owner, the guy saw Yang Zhi, very politely reported the arranged menu, Yang Zhi added two vegetarian dishes, asked everyone what else they want to eat, Master Tianxin sat down at the window, and said casually: "When you get to the fish and sheep fresh, how can you taste the mutton fire and fish, don't add vegetarian dishes, add a lamb tongue and sweet and sour carp." ”
The guy was startled, and his eyes suddenly turned green, Master Tianxin is a high monk, and he doesn't taboo meat? The guy can't say that there are no two dishes, wiped the sweat on his head, Yang Zhi smiled: "The wine and meat have passed through the intestines, and the Buddha has left it in his heart." ”
After Yang Zhi finished speaking, the atmosphere suddenly lightened, and the guy hurriedly went to inform the kitchen, Gao Ziyu asked Quan Yangzi: "How is Yang Zhi's governance?"
Quan Yangzi knew what Gao Ziyu cared about, and said calmly: "Jincheng is now Yang Zhi's base camp, Yang Zhi asked Deng Su to open Jincheng College, Han, Khitan, Dangxiang and other ethnic groups are accepted, this has earned Yang Zhi a good reputation, and many small tribes want to settle in Yingzhou." Wang Ming sent more than a dozen porcelain craftsmen from Anyang, Yang Zhi began to set up a porcelain kiln, the kiln outside the city has started, although I saw that it was firing porcelain, but one of the kilns must be fired glass. ”
Zhu Zhiqing asked, "What is the quality of the porcelain?"
Quan Yangzi said with a smile: "Yang Zhi's killer feature is the style, he can say that many craftsmen have not seen the style, although the quality of the porcelain is a little worse than those in the Ding kiln, but the style is refreshing." Not only did the northern ethnic groups like it, but some southern merchants also bought it and brought it home. ”
Huan Kuaidao sat in the position of Yang Zhi's head, and finally exhaled a breath, Yang Zhi smiled: "Father-in-law must be tired on the road, just rest for a few days, I am here now, what I lack is someone to help, if my father-in-law can't be idle, there is a lack of shopkeeper in the glass workshop, and my father-in-law will help me." ”
No one was surprised, Yang Zhi himself didn't have any relatives, it would be a strange thing if he didn't give the Huan Kuai Dao a good position; Master Tianxing, who was sitting opposite the Huan Kuai Dao, smiled silently, although it was the first time they met, but with the cultivation of Master Tianxin, he still saw that the Huan Kuai Dao had a stunt, and it was definitely not like the legend on the rivers and lakes, the Huan Kuai Dao was just a butcher who killed pigs and sold meat. What is the secret of this son-in-law, Master Tianxin doesn't want to ask more, he believes in Yang Zhi.
Yang Zhi smiled at the fourth sister, turned her head and asked Master Tianxin, "Master is worried about the princess's affairs?"
Master Tianxin nodded and said: "Hu Liyan didn't even have a chance to make a move, he was bought by Wu Qi to abolish his martial arts, and became a lamb to be slaughtered, although it was expected, but the old man was not good enough, and he still couldn't bear it in his heart; ”
Yang Zhi picked up the teacup and said: "It's better for the master not to speak, otherwise the fate of Hu Liyan will be even worse, now it's up to Yelu Yanxi, whether he is willing to give up the shelf and retreat into Western Xia." ”
Master Tianxin suddenly realized that if he opened his mouth to Li Gang and the others, in case someone suggested that he contact Yelu Yanxi, it would be really endless trouble; according to the agreement between the Great Song Dynasty and the Jin Kingdom, Yelu Yanxi would be sent back even if he fled into the Great Song Dynasty, but the people's hearts were greedy, and some people might not be able to think of the back, and if they were not careful, they could provoke a war between the Great Song Dynasty and the Jin Kingdom. Master Tianxin is already familiar with the atmosphere in the officialdom of the Great Song Dynasty, and if that situation really occurs, he is very likely to take the blame.
Master Tianxin smiled and said, "How do you think it will evolve later?"
Yang Zhi took a sip of tea, put down the teacup and said: "Yelu Dashi has already raised troops in Heishui City and other places, Liaojin is fighting, Yelu Yanxi is not important, he is just a chess piece used by Western Xia and Jinguo; as long as he doesn't make trouble everywhere, Jinguo still hopes that he will live, at least he can divide the hearts of the Khitan and other tribes, and not all of them will fall to Yelu Dashi." ”
After Yelu Yanxi killed Yelu Chun's family, Yelu Dashi killed Xiao Yixue and Po Likuo in Fengshengzhou, led 200 soldiers to flee, and joined more than 4,000 people from Yelu Lei and Yelu Songshan, and fled to Heishui City together. Weiwu, Chongde, Huifan, Xin, Dalin, Zihe, Camel and other seven states and Dahuang Murowei, Enemy, Xi and other eighteen departments went to defect, at present, Yelu Dashi gathered 20,000 iron horsemen, and the Jin soldiers fought fiercely on the front line of the Heishui River.
Master Tianxin bowed his head and said: "At the beginning, your design was considered a complete success, the Great Song Dynasty obtained the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun, and Yelu Dashi continued to maintain the banner of the Liao State, so that the two wings of the Jin State were subjected to the enemy. So a lot of people don't understand, what are you still worried about?"
Yang Zhi said slowly: "National affairs, how can it be said that there is a war, Yelu Yanxi is not good, and he has been fighting hard with the Jin State for several years, and there are still several states to this day, and there are too many variables between the big countries." Master, there is a letter from Linhuang Mansion, is there any news of the completion of Yan Aguda and the Golden Vulture Technique?"
Master Tianxin's face changed slightly, and said, "Sha Jing even told you this?"
