"The emperor has already obeyed, and the ministers are still not convinced, so it is also appropriate to remind them. Qi Xuan looked at his son's iron-blooded face, thinking of the teachings he had taught him back then, and suddenly felt that his son was better than the blue, and he was proud in his heart, but he was a little worried after all, and said: "But this beating is also to pay attention to proportion." ”

Qi Zhuji nodded, "These people can't hold the army, no matter what, it's useless, if they don't know each other, they will naturally suffer." ”

Qi Xuan thought that even the crown prince had died in the palace of the prince of the moldy rice, and even the emperor had been forced to imprison himself in the Huxin Quiet Courtyard, so he couldn't help laughing at himself.

It seems that he is indeed old.

Lin Yi, Qi Zhuji... These young people don't drag their feet at all, they do it, they will do it thoroughly.

"Then there is no place for me to help except to rest in peace, and not to meddle in these things so as not to get into trouble?"

He looked at Qi Zhuji, who was beginning to bury his head in eating, and a look of love appeared in his eyes, "Father and son soldiers, I am also your father, but I am also a prince, just let me rest, don't let me help you do something?"

"Can't be idle?"

Qi Zhuji laughed, but then became serious again, and said, "You seem to have a good relationship with those people who stayed in the Southern Heavenly Courtyard, why don't you try to ventilate them this time and let them not get involved." ”

Qi Xuan frowned slightly, and said with a straight face: "It's okay, those people are also the emperor's people, since the emperor imprisoned himself in the Huxin Jing Courtyard, if these old people in the Nantian Courtyard are killed by you, the reputation will not be good, and there is a suspicion of taking the opportunity to eradicate the emperor's cronies." Although the emperor imprisoned himself, he was orthodox when he reigned for one day. ”

Qi Zhuji hesitated slightly, and said seriously: "If you can, take this opportunity, if you can borrow the collection of books and classics of the Southern Heavenly Academy, it will be the best." ”

If it was someone else, he wouldn't be able to say it clearly, but he naturally had nothing to hide from his father, "Although the Demon Sect went to the Northern Wei Dynasty, it was the same as when he fled from the Southern Dynasty to the Northern Wei Dynasty before, if it reappeared, it would be a reborn change, Lin Yi's practice is special, he has a chance to contend with the Demon Sect, but recently his practice has also encountered some obstacles, and he wants to borrow as many relevant cultivation classics as possible." In the rest of the cultivation places and academies, we can find people to be accommodating, give some benefits in exchange, and can borrow the collection of books, but the remaining people in the Nantian Academy are originally in the emperor's lineage, and they are hostile to us and the Chen family, but it is difficult to deal with it. ”

"They are not stupid, they are afraid that they also know in their hearts that the Demon Sect is the real enemy of the Southern Dynasty, if the Demon Sect is not eliminated, the Southern Dynasty will not be stable, but it is impossible for them to bow their heads openly. Qi Xuan nodded, "Don't worry, I will find a way to do this, but if it doesn't work, I will directly let the people around the emperor do this thing." ”

Qi Zhuji looked at him seriously, and suddenly had some mixed feelings in his heart, but a complicated smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he deliberately said: "It's also... You have ups and downs in the Jiankang and Kang dynasties, and there are so many connections, it would be strange if you couldn't even handle such a trivial matter. ”

"You little bunny. Qi Xuan smiled, "You dare to make fun of me." ”

"I probably won't be living at home these days, I'm doing things in secret, and if I show up in public, I'm going to cause some trouble for my father. Qi Zhuji lowered her head and began to eat again, and said softly intermittently: "But I should come back every three or five times." ”

"That's not a hurry. Qi Xuan waved his hand, but suddenly thought of something, and said seriously: "In fact, when it comes to collecting books, in addition to the old book building of Qiyun Academy, the collection of books in Nantian Academy, and those famous cultivation places and academies, there are actually many places that have a rich collection of books, and some of them are far more than those famous cultivation places. ”

Qi Zhuji was slightly stunned.

Qi Xuan didn't play dumb riddles either, and directly stretched out his finger and pointed at one place.

Qi Zhuji followed his finger and immediately reacted.

"You mean these Buddhist temples?"

The place where Qi Xuan's finger was pointed happened to be the two stupas of a temple not far away.

"Buddhism loves to collect books the most. ”

Qi Xuan looked at Qi Zhuji and said, "You don't have deep contact with these people, don't you know... In fact, in addition to the constant custody and collection of various Buddhist scriptures, these monks do not love gold, silver and jewelry, all kinds of classics, even calligraphy, paintings, and poetry. ”

Speaking of this, he himself found it interesting, and couldn't help but shake his head, and said: "If nothing else, when the stupa was completed before, the number of scriptures, books, calligraphy and paintings enshrined and sealed in the stupa alone was really beyond my imagination. ”

Qi Zhuji frowned deeply and said: "So before, like Lin Yi, we didn't like these Buddhist temples very much, and we always felt that these monks consumed a lot of money, dragging down the Southern Dynasty, but since the collection of books in these temples is also amazing, can you think of a way to borrow their collections?"

"If the emperor opened Chrysostom, most of these temples would be willing to offer books. But it should be difficult for the emperor to speak now. Qi Xuan smiled, looked at his already completed son with great meaning, and continued: "There are so many temples, open some gaps first, you should know how to follow the trend, since you come back, you are going to knock those people immediately, when you knock, by the way, let them do some help?"

Qi Zhuji thought for a moment and said, "Good idea." ”

......

The new Situ priest sat in a carriage past the old bell tower in Jiankang City.

There is an alley to the left of the old clock tower, all of which are gambling houses, and an alley to the right of the old bell tower is full of antique shops and pawnshops.

Money in the gambling house comes and goes easily, and people who lose big will be in a hurry to get rid of their valuable things, and if they are in a hurry, the price will be cheap, and the pawnshop will be very profitable. People who win big and win will always sell their money wantonly, and these people will easily buy expensive and impractical things, such as antiques.

Those who are unlucky, or those who are lucky and unrestrained, are prone to lose unscrupulously, and in the end it is easy to resist their own lives.

So there are a lot of red-eyed people in these two alleys who are willing to work hard.

These people are also often as weak as wild dogs.

But since such a business exists, those businessmen will take on more business, and naturally they will also accept some businesses that are willing to pay a lot of money, but are more difficult to run.

When the new Situ priest's carriage passed by the old bell tower and passed the entrance of the alley on the right, there was an antique shop in that alley where someone lifted the curtain and walked out.

This is a very ordinary little old man in a leather jacket.

The old man walked slowly through a narrow alley, and made a few rounds, but met the carriage at the next junction.

The old man rubbed his hands together and let out a white breath.

The Situ priest in the carriage narrowed his eyes slightly, and said, "Don't use the people in the court, it's better to use the cultivators outside, but they must be strong enough." ”

The old man raised his collar, and he felt a little cold, but he didn't say a word of nonsense, but said, "Understood." ”

This time it is destined to be a loss-making business, but if you want to do big business in Jiankang City, you must have the care of big people, especially this kind of human life business, it is impossible to hide in the shadows and be fine.

The most outstanding businessman like him naturally knew very well that even those cultivators who had taken over the work before, many of them were even worshiped by the side of those big people. Some people don't know the rules and shouldn't exist in this health, and some cultivators kill people, but they just do odd jobs to earn more for their cultivation.

Although the person who came forward this time was already a member of the third class of the court, he knew very well that this third-class member was just the person in charge of the many big people who pushed out behind him to block the front.

If you can't do a good job in this business, it's not a question of losing money or not, and if you spit out your savings for so many years, you can keep the head on your neck or not.

Jiankang is the center of the entire Southern Dynasties, and in the past many years, everything in the south is better than the north, even if it is the same wealth, there is always a better place to go for money in the south, and there are more interesting enjoyments, so there are always many outsiders who come to Jiankang, some of them even come from the Northern Wei Dynasty, from those unknown frontiers.

There are always some people who have some skills, but they don't meet them.

There are also some people who have a chance, but they messed up themselves and provoked some nobles, so they never had a chance to climb up.

These people are found in every city in the Southern Dynasty, and they are not many, but in the whole world, in many cities, there are many such people.

To find one of them, it is the ability of the businessman to find the right and usable ones.

......

"It should be snowing in a few more days. ”

A foreigner sat in a noodle shop in Jiankang City, looked at the roof tiles in the streets and alleys outside with some emotion, looked at the sky outside, and couldn't help but say.

There were six or seven diners in the noodle shop besides him, but no one answered him.

The two guys in the noodle shop listened to the outsider's accent, and they didn't even have any interest in pleasing him.

The accent of this foreigner seems to be from Xinhui County, Xinhui County is the southernmost border county near the sea in the Southern Dynasty, not that the shopkeepers in Jiankang City are well-informed and can distinguish the accents of various places, but the accent of Xinhui County is very unique, and it seems that the pronunciation of each word has a "each" or "gang" like a tail.

The people of the Southern Dynasty all call themselves southerners, but the people in the Jiankang area always like to call the people in the southernmost border counties as Nanyankees.

In their opinion, these people are good at doing business, but they are all good at small business, and they come to Jiankang like ants to dig into the corners of the wall like ants moving, and they are constantly stealing the money they should have earned back.

The most hateful thing is that even if it is an expense, these southernmost people always like to spend the money they earn back and not stay in Jiankang.

Of course, these southernmost people who can make money are hateful, but those who can't make money are naturally more despised by them.

Many people in Jiankang City like to eat noodles in the morning, even many rich and noble families like to eat noodles in the noodle shop, and even have to cover a few more toppings, and when they are in a good mood, they have to drink some wine.

But after the morning when the noodles are eaten, and when it is close to noon, they go to the noodle restaurant to eat noodles, which is the inferiority.

At this time, a bowl of noodles is not a pleasure for the people in Jiankang City, but only a function of satisfying the stomach.

If you only order a bowl of clear soup noodles and eat some pickled vegetables, then in the eyes of the diners and guys in these noodle shops, they are naturally the kind of useless people who have not accumulated any money at the end of the year.

The outlander's clothes were shabby and thin, and it looked uncomfortable in such a cold weather, and in addition to the obvious southernmost accent, this person's accent was also mixed with Jiankang's accent, which seemed to them to be really a rough man trying to pretend to be elegant.

So it was impossible for them to understand the mood of the stranger at this time.

The reason why he has an accent in Xinhui County is not that he is from Xinhui County, in fact, he has grown up in Jiankang since he was a child, but he has been away from Jiankang for a long time, and he has been in Xinhui County for a long time, which makes his accent not look like each other.

He was a practitioner of the Taoist sect of the previous dynasty, in the previous dynasty, he was because of a dispute with a certain official, killed the official and then fled, and when he arrived in the new dynasty, he originally thought that he could return to Jiankang and live again, but among the many Taoist practice places abolished by Xiao Yan, there was his teacher.

Many of his fellow disciples died in that turmoil, and many of those who survived, like him, became incognito wanderers to the end of the world.

The southernmost border counties are warm.

It had been at least a decade since he had seen frost on the roof tiles that didn't melt even after sunrise, let alone snow.

Those snowflakes, as white as salt and thick piles of salt, have become things that he buried deep in his memory, just like his past in this city.

At this time, he felt the snow that was about to arrive, and ate the clear soup noodles that tasted in his memory, but the surrounding streets and alleys were full of people, and the people in his memory were gone, how could he not sigh.

For people in Jiankang City, Xinhui County has often heard of it, but many people have never heard of some border counties in the southwest, such as Jiaozhi County.

Jiuzhen County is still further southwest of Jiaozhi County, and many people in the Southern Dynasties don't even know that there are such border counties on the territory of the Southern Dynasties.

The people over there in Jiuzhen County even have obvious differences in appearance and height from the people in Jiankang's area.

Their normal men are half a head shorter than the men in Jiankang's area, and the cheekbones on their faces are higher, but their foreheads are broader.

This kind of physiognomy is not pleasing in the Jiankang area.

And the hair accessories and clothes of the people of Jiuzhen County are even more different.

They used to shave off the hair on their foreheads and the sides of their ears, and then knot the hair on the top of their heads into a sky-high braid.

The clothes they wore were even more strange to the Jiankang people, with only half sleeves and both arms exposed.

Most of the people in Jiankang City don't go to such remote border counties, so of course they don't know that places like Jiuzhen County are very hot all year round, and they don't have winter, so of course they don't need to wear such long-sleeved clothes.

In an inn not far from this noodle shop, there lived a cultivator from Jiuzhen County.

Although this cultivator's stature was also thin, with his cultivation, he didn't need to wear such long-sleeved shirts even in this cold winter.

Just to not attract too much attention, he wore the most ordinary cotton clothes, and his head was also wrapped in a cloth.

He wore it this way, but he felt uncomfortable, and occasionally saw himself in the reflection of the pool, and he looked very unpleasantly, so he simply covered his face.

What is snow?

This Jiuzhen County cultivator who had only arrived in Jiankang yesterday had no such word as snow in his cognition.

He came to Jiankang just to want the flying sword fetus that was very suitable for his exercises.

He just wanted to finish the business quickly, and then leave the place where he felt uncomfortable with the flying sword fetus he wanted.

It's just that according to the news from the shopkeeper in the alley of the old bell tower, it should have to wait until tomorrow.

.......

"The people at the observatory said it was going to snow tonight. ”

"Although these people arranged by the old man in the old bell tower are okay, if they really encounter trouble, they are still those from Shangluo County, and the snow is the most suitable for the grandmaster among them. ”

"You can't do anything in the Imperial Pharmacy, and if they don't come out tomorrow, try to lure them out. ”

On a certain section of the city wall, a general in civilian clothes whispered to an official behind him who was also wearing civilian clothes.

On the nearby city wall, many soldiers stood with their might, but none of them dared to look at them.

This makes them naturally exude the smell of power.

The general, dressed in civilian clothes, spoke in a deep and calm voice, but his face was cold.

Especially when he looked at the direction of the imperial palace, at the palaces that originally belonged to the crown prince.

He is the crown prince Zhan Shi, managing the affairs of the imperial palace, although he does not lead the army at this time, he was originally born in the Yongzhou army, at this time many generals in the city can only be regarded as his original generals, and if the prince inherits the throne in the future, his status is even higher.

But now that the crown prince is dead, what can he do?

Unlike many people who just accept orders, a powerful person like him naturally knows very well what kind of opponents he will face when he wants to move the Imperial Pharmacy.

It's just that he feels that he has nothing to fear.

He didn't doubt the abilities of those people, and he also knew that there were enough cultivators who had come, and some of them were real outlaws, and the enemy was far beyond ordinary cultivators of the same realm.

But in his heart, those people can also be purely used to send to death, to consume the opponent's strength.

As long as he accomplishes his purpose, those cultivators who come to this city with different purposes and have different moods are just inconsequential pawns.

......

The officials at the observatory in the palace were often very accurate in their observations of the weather.

At night, before it was too late, tiny snowflakes began to fall in the sky.

At first, it is like fine frost, and then it slowly turns into white feathers, getting thicker and thicker.
