According to what this guy said, after the mountain learned that the road down the mountain was blocked, it was also very panicked. After all, the economy in the mountain has been transformed after so many years. They have no way to be self-sufficient and must cooperate with the mountain.
Only through trade, our ancestors could be content with themselves, but now they are used to enjoying themselves. If they are asked to live such a hard life, I am afraid not many people can do it.
Of course, the common people don't care. They just need to work harder and have a good meal. This is the biggest pursuit of the common people. They don't have so many long-term ideas. However, the chieftain nobles are different. They live very luxuriously now.
If the road was blocked, their lives would be most affected, so the several chieftains met as quickly as possible.
"What's going on with the army on the mountain? Do you know what the chieftains are talking about?"
Zhang Jiuli said anxiously. He also knew that these two people were not high-level and could only know some general situations in society. But now that the lives of the whole family were in Li Xiang's hands, he also wanted to solve the problem at hand as soon as possible.
The more information you know about this problem, the greater the possibility of solving it.
"Damn it, you villain. I don't know what the chieftains are thinking, but the troops on the mountain have been mobilized frequently in the past few days to advance towards the mountain pass. It may be to increase the number of local troops."
These two people were telling the truth. They were like the spies of the chieftains in Chengdu. They only knew some news on the street. All the news was obtained from the mouths of ordinary people. The situation at the top was simply not clear.
Can't see it.
"Have the armies of major chieftains ever crossed the border?"
Zhang Jiuli asked an important question. If they cross the border, then they will start a war. If they do not cross the border, it is just a common warning.
Although the four chieftains advertise to the outside world as being like a family, Zhang Jiuli has cooperated with them for more than a day or two. Of course he knows what they are like internally. If the interests are evenly distributed, then these people are a family. If there is a problem in the distribution
If you ask the question, you will probably fall out on the spot. To put it bluntly, these people haven't evolved yet.
"We haven't crossed the border yet. We have fortified the checkpoints under our control and increased some mobile troops. In addition, we have moved some common people near the foot of the mountain up. The Han people are under closer surveillance."
Hearing this, Zhang Jiuli understood what was going on. There was vigilance on the mountain, but the vigilance was obviously not enough. This is very good for us. If we start to close the mountain with great fanfare, then I am afraid that something will not happen.
That’s easy to say.
"You two have done a good job. Go back and meet your families. The money you should give is in the bag at the door. Go back as soon as possible and don't let the mountain suspect it. I will prepare to go up the mountain after you go back."
After hearing Zhang Jiuli's words, both of them were a little surprised. You must know that although Zhang Jiuli is related to the people on the mountain, he has never been there except once when he got married.
The chieftains on the mountain have never come down even once. It can be seen from this that even though they usually brag about being a family, you put your arm around my shoulders and I beat your chest, we are like brothers.
But if something really happens, this kind of brother is simply unreliable.
Including Qian Ping, they were also very surprised. According to Qian Ping's idea, shouldn't Zhang Jiuli just give instructions at the foot of the mountain? Now this old boy is going to the mountain, does he want to abscond?
"Father-in-law, please sit down."
Qian Ping would naturally stand next to him when there were people around. After all, he was in the role of serving others. He couldn't just sit there carelessly. When no one was around, Zhang Jiuli naturally didn't dare to let Qian Ping stand by.
, this is the person next to His Highness, and they are here to help in name, but in fact they are here to monitor us.
"Is what Mr. Zhang just said true?"
Only then did Qian Ping come back to his senses. The two people in the room had already exited. Now he had to figure out what Zhang Jiuli was thinking.
"To be honest, father-in-law, these people on the mountain are too suspicious. If I don't go up, the situation on the mountain will be even worse. Once I go up, the situation on the mountain will calm down. Although they will still be wary of us, but
At most, it’s at this level, but if I don’t go up, I don’t know to what stage it will deteriorate.”
What Zhang Jiuli said is true. He has been in charge of Sichuan for a long time. Cooperating with the chieftains on the mountain does not take a day or two. As long as he can go up there and introduce the following things, then
These toast masters will not be too suspicious, as things like this have happened before.
In the second year after Zhang Jiuli arrived in Sichuan, the imperial court had a conflict with the chieftain of Longchuan over the issue of paying tribute. At that time, troops were mobilized to prepare for an attack. Zhang Jiuli's mediation prevented the conflict from intensifying.
To put it bluntly, this guy is just like a middleman. For the chieftains, the existence of this person is very necessary, but for the court, this is an act of betrayal. You usually take the salary of the court, but you still
You are trying to help the toast master, who are you trying to fool?
At that time, Zhang Jiuli really had this idea. As long as nothing happened, they could continue to make money and save their family property. But now the situation is different. Both his son and grandson are in Li Xiang's hands. If he doesn't
If they worked hard, these people would be dead, so what's the point of living?
"Our family will accompany you up."
Qian Ping said without a doubt that he also knew that there would be dangers after going up. Maybe this guy would stay up there and not come down. After all, he also has two sons-in-law on the mountain. If he really stayed up there, his life might not be so satisfactory, but at least
Much better than being at the bottom of the mountain.
"That's natural. Everything is decided by the manager. It's just that the mountain is different from the one below. There are many local rules..."
In Zhang Jiuli's eyes, people like Qian Ping come from Chang'an, and there are many rules, but those are the rules of Chang'an. If we go to the mountains, we must respect other people's rules. Don't do that.
If we lose it randomly, our lives are small, but if we miss Li Xiang, it will be big.
Some things must be agreed upon in advance, so as not to get things done later and end up costing our lives in vain...
