Early the next morning, Feng Entai personally came to the courtyard here to find Niu Youdao, and said yesterday that he would take Niu Youdao to visit the new site of Tianyumen with the friendship of the landlord.

After Bai Yao, who was guarding in the courtyard, stepped forward to say hello, he knew that the other party was here to see Niu Youdao, so he quickly avoided it, unwilling to see Niu Youdao.

The reason for not wanting to see it is awkward, thinking that Niu Youdao was nothing in his eyes at the beginning, but now it is okay, Niu Youdao has become his uncle's sworn brother, and he is a generation higher than him in terms of seniority.

The disciples of the entire Tianyumen in Qingshan County can not give face to the Shang Dynasty, but they can't help but give Niu Youdao face, no way, people and Elder Feng are brothers, and they don't look at the face of the monk to see the face of the Buddha, and they have to politely call Dao Ye when they meet.

I don't know how many people have opinions in their hearts, secretly blaming Elder Feng for being confused, and what kind of worship is there.

After finding Niu Youdao, Feng Entai went out of the courtyard with him and wandered among the beautiful mountains.

Originally, the sect that occupied this place was relatively small, and the scale of the building complex was not large, but now this place is occupied by Tianyumen, and the number of disciples of Tianyumen is placed here, so this place is still in large-scale expansion.

Compared with the cost of Tianyumen, the cost of expanding this is nothing, and there is no need for Tianyumen to pay, the gift money for each family to congratulate the housewarming is enough, Niu Youdao personally gave 10,000 gold coins as a gift, and the counties guarded naturally more, Shang Chaozong took 100,000 gold coins on behalf of the two counties in order to express his heart.

The two finally stood on top of a mountain, looking at the lake and mountains under the mountain, with purple smoke floating under the sun, and occasional fish jumping and birds flying, quite a bit of fairyland charm.

"What a place!" said Niu Youdao, who was standing with his hands in his hands.

Feng Entai shook his head not very satisfied, "It seems that the third brother has not been to the original mountain gate of Tianyumen, it is much stronger than here, and at present, under this condition, the entire Tianyumen must obey the overall situation, and the first will be settled." ”

Niu Youdao said: "This is still disgusting, the gate faction is really not ordinary." ”

"The third, I contacted the second. Feng Entai suddenly said this.

Niu Youdao slowly looked back at him.

"The second child told me everything, that's good!" Feng Entai patted him on the shoulder, looking quite emotional.

Niu Youdao smiled and said nothing.

At this moment, a disciple flew over and announced, "Elder, the feast is about to begin." ”

"Okay, got it. Feng Entai nodded, turned around and made a gesture of invitation to Niu Youdao, and the two returned.

Yesterday's banquet was a welcome party, and today's banquet was a send-off, and the people were still those people.

For these people, eating and drinking is never the goal, and the things that are discussed during the banquet are the main thing.

After a few glasses of wine, the topic came to the supply of people and horses in the five counties, and the people and horses of the five counties are now all added together, including those who are miscellaneous, which is nearly 600,000, which is a heavy burden on the financial resources of the five counties.

The point of discussion is whether there are so many people now, in the past, the counties were separated, each had to deal with the pressure from all sides, so they had to raise more people, now the five counties are concentrated together, there are their own people behind it, the pressure on the abdomen and back will be greatly reduced, and it is not a problem to reduce 200,000 horses at will, but it can greatly reduce the burden on the counties.

However, Tianyumen later made it clear that Nanzhou was the target, so that everyone could hold on to the negative pressure, once Nanzhou was defeated, there would not be many 600,000 people on hand to go out to set up defenses, and the offerings asked for by Tianyumen would also be controlled, and try not to increase the burden on the counties.

The people involved know this well, Tianyumen now has the interest of wine, and can only be so generous, and the income of millions of gold coins a year is more than the previous offerings from the counties.

Zhao Xingfeng, the warden of Tu'an County, couldn't help but mention, "Boss, the governance model of Qingshan County and Guangyi County is not bad, if our three counties can also reduce taxes..."

Before he finished speaking, Peng suppressed it again in a sentence, "Qingshan County and Guangyi County can provide other inputs, what can you three counties provide? Could it be that you think that the wine benefits Tianyumen can swallow it all? Xiaoyao Palace, Zijin Cave, and Lingjian Mountain's annual offerings cannot be broken, and if you want to take Nanzhou, the cost of worship will only be greater, do you pay this money? Okay, let's talk about it anymore. ”

Zhao Xingfeng was slightly embarrassed, but he didn't expect that just mentioning it would cause such a big reaction, so he had to shut up.

Peng continued: "The five counties, each of them is in its own way, usually no problem, if something happens, the people of the five counties need a unified deployment, this matter needs to be prepared in advance, who do you think is more appropriate?"

As soon as these words came out, Niu Youdao and Meng Shanming's eyes subconsciously met together, and they thought that they would not mention this matter until they took Nanzhou, but they didn't expect it to start now.

Zhao Xingfeng was about to speak again, Niu Youdao coughed dryly, and first attracted everyone's idea, "Naturally, it is better to be dispatched by the head of Peng, in terms of prestige here, is there anyone else who can compare to the head of Peng?"

Meng Shanming slowly raised his glass, knowing that Niu Youdao was making trouble, and he didn't want the unified command to fall into the hands of others.

As long as you are not stupid, you know that now that it is decided who will unify the command of the five counties, there is a chance that it will be the lord of Nanzhou in the future.

moved out of Peng Youzai here, Zhao Xingfeng had to swallow the words in his mouth, saying that other people were better than Peng Youzai, which was a little inappropriate.

Peng was laughing again, "My brother is really a good opinion, I don't have that energy, and I'm not familiar with military affairs." ”

Niu Youdao pointed to the Tianyumen elders present again, "The Tianyumen is full of talents, and it is enough to send a random disciple to do it." ”

Peng shook his head again: "In cultivation, people have things to deal with in their cultivation, and cultivation is the top, not to mention that they don't have that energy, and they can't put too much thought into taking care of mundane things, otherwise what will you do for all the county guards here? The selection of people for military and political affairs is different from the selection of people for cultivation disciples. Brother Niu, there is a specialization in the art industry, I think this matter should be left to the people who are good at it to make their own decisions, you and I don't want to make a fool of yourself. ”

"Master Peng is right. Niu Youdao smiled, turned his head to look at Feng Ruonan present, and asked, "Princess, you are also a military general, I don't know who you think is more appropriate?"

Feng Ruonan secretly gritted his teeth.

Feng Lingbo looked at Niu Youdao with cold eyes, and Peng Yulan hated her teeth even more, poking her daughter out, didn't she roast her daughter on the fire?

Shang Chaozong, Lan Ruoting, and Meng Shanming all looked at Niu Youdao a little strangely, how can Feng Ruonan be in charge of this matter, and I don't know what this trouble with Feng Ruonan means.

Peng Zaizai waved his hand to the people present, "Don't get involved in this matter, let the four county guards jointly nominate it!"

In one sentence, Niu Youdao was pressed down, and Feng Ruonan was also picked out.

Niu Youdao smiled and raised his glass to Peng again, he could only say this, the decision is in the hands of others, the right to speak is also in the hands of others, how to discuss the topic is completely led by the other party, this is a fact that cannot be changed.

Zhao Xingfeng spoke again, pointing to Feng Lingbo present, "There is Guangyi County before Qingshan County, thanks to Feng Lingbo opening up the situation in Guangyi County, there can be two counties today, among the people here who have been county guards, I only serve Feng Lingbo, and I elected Feng Lingbo as the commander of the five counties." ”

Niu Youdao raised his eyebrows slightly, and teased: "Zhao Junshou's name is good!"

Everyone looked at each other, Zhao Xingfeng choked, what do you mean?

Lan Ruoting immediately answered: "What do you mean by Dao Master?"

Niu Youdao said slowly: "Make waves." ”

Some of the people present held back a smile, some were expressionless, and Zhao Xingfeng's face was slightly gloomy.

Niu Youdao immediately looked at it coldly, "Looking at Zhao Junshou's face, do you have an opinion about Lao Tzu? Just kidding, don't take it seriously, it's not good to take it seriously." ”

Zhao Xingfeng immediately gave up his hand to Peng again, wanting to ask the other party to uphold justice.

Peng quickly raised his hand to stop, not letting him tear his face with Niu Youdao in public, Niu Youdao is obviously deliberately looking for fault, if he really wants to be caught by this guy to find trouble, Zhao Xingfeng is afraid that he will not be able to bear it, the key is that Niu Youdao is holding a financial road of Tianyumen in his hand, and Tianyumen is also afraid of three points.

Therefore, there is no need to tear your face when you can solve the problem reasonably, and everything will be said when the account is settled.

He suppressed it loudly: "Brother Niu, we are talking about business here, don't joke, if you feel uncomfortable sitting here, this seat can arrange a private room for you." "A warning was issued.

Niu Youdao waved his hand, "Master Peng is too polite, everyone is too serious, just enliven the atmosphere." ”

Peng looked at the others again.

Huxi County Shou Mei Lin Sheng also answered the phone, "I also recommend Feng Lingbo!"

Wu Tiandang, the guard of Wuyang County, followed and said: "Second, promote Feng Lingbo!"

A hint of joy flashed in the eyes of Feng Lingbo, who was present at the banquet, for this result, he already knew in advance, and looked at his son-in-law, wanting to see what Shang Chaozong could do.

Peng Yulan looked at her father with gratitude in her eyes, and after going around, she found that her father was still facing her family, and she also realized her father's wisdom.

She couldn't help but think of what her father said to her last night, Tianyumen is not the Tianyumen of the Peng family, everything must pay attention to ways and methods, be reasonable, and things will be easy to do with everyone's support.

The high-level officials of the Tianyumen present were expressionless, and their eyes glanced at the Shang Dynasty Sect one by one, and the result was naturally discussed by them.

Shang Chaozong played with the wine glass in his hand and was silent.

Feng Ruonan tightened his lips and was silent.

Fei Changliu and the others looked solemn.

Meng Shanming glanced at Niu Youdao, only to see Niu Youdao bowing slightly.

Peng was laughing again and asked, "Lord Wang, what do you think?"

Shang Chaozong said indifferently: "Is the opinion of this king still important?"

Peng said generously: "Speak freely, be reasonable in everything, and say whatever you have high opinions." ”

Shang Chaozong looked left and right, and after coming into contact with Meng Shanming's eyes, he stiffened his cheeks and said loudly: "The high opinion of the three county guards, this king seconded and agreed!"
