The breeze is blowing, and the drizzle is coming.

The long-lost rain has dispelled the hottest days brought by the autumn tiger, and the air is filled with autumn.

Inside the water pavilion, a few swallows sheltering from the rain were chirping under the eaves, unable to cover the laughter in the building at all.

"I'm treating Kaifeng Prefecture like cooking small fresh food." Chen Shou looked at the official document with a smile, feeling very good.

This year, Kaifeng Prefecture is full of good news of harvest, and the commercial taxation is far beyond the past. The Hu merchants in the Western Regions were not affected by the turbulent times. Instead, they were dispatched more frequently because they needed to hoard materials everywhere.

Kaifeng Prefecture has been a capital province for a long time, and countless powerful people have occupied the land for a long time, and the rest are saline-alkali land.

After three palace changes and several battles, Chen Shou killed the imperial guards' family cleanly. The noble group was empty, and more than half of the civil servants under Wei Yunse were cleaned up.

The land of these people has all become cakes that Chen Shou can distribute. While winning people's hearts, it also brings a harvest that Kaifeng Prefecture has never seen before.

Huang Zhen laughed and said, "In the long run, our Kaifeng and Daming prefectures will surely be richer than Jiangnan and stronger than Liaodong!"

This was a bit full of words, but no one present corrected him. Everyone was too happy, so who would come out to be annoyed at this time?

The senior officials in the water pavilion have not seen Chen Shou with such a squeaky expression for a long time. He is the backbone of everyone present. Since everyone has boarded this boat, they will relied on Chen Shou to get promoted and make a fortune and shine their family.

Kaifeng and Daming Mansion are the basic foundations of the interest group they are currently in, and everyone's future depends on this.

Even Tao'er, who was behind him, raised her hands, covered her lips, and whispered to Liu'er: "Master hasn't been so happy for a long time."

Behind the screen, Xue Shao, who was cooking tea, had a clear and slight smile on his eyes, staring at Chen Shou quietly through the curtain, and liked to see him with confidence and spirit. She picked up the flute at her hand and placed it on her red lips, pressed her jade fingers lightly, and a string of light and graceful tunes came out.

After the water boiled, Tao'er came in to pour tea, raised her hands in front of her chest, and gently clapped at Xue Shao, without saying a word, but she looked admiring.

The conversation outside continued. Chen Shou paused for a moment, used the tea cover to lift the water vapor, and smiled and said, "I want to go to Liangzhou for a while."

The water pavilion, which was originally bursting with laughter, suddenly became quiet. Liu Zhiying, the oldest experienced, was the first to say: "Absolutely not!"

Huang Zhen nodded and said, "As the saying goes, a body of a thousand gold cannot sit down, and there are gentlemen who do not stand under a dangerous wall. The marquis is wearing a body that is full of life and death and happiness for countless people in Kaifeng. How could he go out to Xiliang in person? Not to mention the past, in just a few years, how many people died along the way..."

Chen Shou had known for a long time that once he said it, his confidant would definitely not agree.

But he had decided that Xiliang had to go back once.

Along the way, I passed by Qinlun and arrived at the Xiliang territory, and there would be no danger.

As long as you bring enough people, you will not be afraid of others ambushing each other halfway. After all, although you have enemies all over the world, there are only a few who have really broken up, and they are beyond the reach.

The journey seemed dangerous, but it was actually not bad, but because Chen Shou's identity was too special. Just like in previous dynasties, the emperor would be strongly opposed by the court officials if he wanted to lead the imperial army or travel in private.

But there are only a handful of emperors who really did something wrong.

A person's status is high, and a little risk will make the vassal of him frightened.

The relaxed expression on Chen Shou's face also disappeared, and after a while, he said in a deep voice: "If I don't go to Liangzhou, I won't know Liangzhou. How dare we hand over our backs to them."

Everyone in the building looked at each other, and what Chen Shou said made sense, Xiliang, an ally, was too crucial.

However, Chen Shou's confidant, including everyone upstairs, seemed to be the only one who had actually visited Liangzhou.

The wife of Zhongyong Hou was the second lady of the General's Mansion, but this could not be a guarantee of a reliable alliance.

"The Marquis insisted on going, so I might as well go there." Yuan Xiannian volunteered, and the Tang Dynasty went for Chen Shou himself, and the result was not bad. Not only did he achieve his goal, he also contacted many officials from the Southern Tang Dynasty.

Chen Shou said firmly: "I have to go there in person."

As soon as these words were spoken, the voices of objection disappeared. Chen Shou's prestige was actually very high. When it was time to make an idea, he could make a statement.

Because the current situation was completely a hit by him, he leaned against the four eunuchs and rushed around, smashing the center of Da Qi.

Since Chen Shou insisted on going, everyone worked together to plan the route and the people he brought.

Chen Shou laughed and said, "Isn't it a pity for the Xiliang horse to stay in Xiliang? I mean, I want my father-in-law to send Xiliang soldiers to greet me. What do you think?"

When the soldiers of Xiliang came out of the pass, there was no obstacle to entering Qin Rong, because the Qin Rong area had a good relationship with the general's mansion. Yao Shu from Chang'an was Li Wei's godson and went to Liangzhou to celebrate his birthday every year.

"I think great kindness!" Liu Zhiying stood up and raised his beard and said, "What else can I be afraid of like this? We have one or two old bones, which shows our sincerity."

"Yes." Chen Shou nodded, thinking that the General's Mansion and the Qiang people had fought for a hundred years, and there seemed to be an invisible shackle on them, trapping them in Xiliang.

The Xiliang soldiers had no idea of ​​leaving the customs. At the beginning, there was no chance. The Qiang people were too powerful. They were just driven out of the Central Plains and stole a lot of skills and kidnapped a large number of craftsmen.

Later, they were afraid that people would gossip, and everyone knew that the Xiliang soldiers were strong. If they had nothing to do, they would inevitably cause shock to the government and the country.

Now that the troubled times have begun, wars are everywhere, Chen Shou himself faces two battlefields: fighting in Hedong in the north and Shandong in the east.

The people of Xiliang were still sticking to their own acre of three-point land, which was out of place. Chen Shou intended to let them come out, but he didn't know if Li Wei would give him this face.

Thinking of this, Chen Shou thought to himself, Li Wei, you must give me some face, I can take care of your two daughters now.

If Li Wei knew about it, the probability of chasing him with a knife might be greater than that of kinship.

Chen Shou sighed and said, "I asked Miss Li to write a letter to Li Wei, which may be more convincing to him."

Li Lingfeng's experience was rather miserable. She was sent to the capital by Xiliang as a chess piece, half a marriage and half a hostage. Moreover, her husband died as soon as she came. Li Wei felt more or less guilty about such a daughter, so she asked her to write about it better than Li Ling.

Huang Zhen said: "If she is willing to write, there is no such thing as good."

"Don't worry." Chen Shou said confidently.

After seeing off everyone in the water pavilion, Chen Shou waved to Zhang He to come, and said with a smile: "Go to the summer palace."
