Lan Yu was so excited as she held the treasured wine bowl that had been passed down among the nobles of the Yuan Dynasty for decades.
He felt that he was a man of heaven.
Not to mention compared to Guangfu Dadu, it is not much worse.
Moreover, in this battle, he worked hard, killed He Lin, and saw the land of Longxing in the Yuan Dynasty. He also captured many nobles of the Yuan Dynasty's palace, and gained a lot.
Lan Yu felt that it was her own merit.
When it comes to the Northern Expedition alone, he is no worse than his brother-in-law, and he is still one of the top five.
After all, besides Xu Da and Chang Yuchun, who else is definitely better than him?
No!
Since there is no such thing, shouldn’t we give him a warm welcome and Prime Minister Zhang should go out of the city to greet him?
By the way, Lan Yu still remembers that when she saw Zhang Ximeng's powerful poem, she asked for it as a gift to herself.
Also, outside Helin, he found a stone and carved some words on it, such as "I came here for a visit". I don't know if it counts as slandering Shi Yanran...
Whether the champion will give it or not is a secondary matter. It is best to give yourself more military power, such as assigning Zhu Wenzheng and Li Wenzhong to your sect and let them obey your orders...
Lan Yu didn't realize it yet, but he was now so swollen that he was almost like a balloon, about to fly to the sky.
The city wall in front of him could no longer stop him, he wanted to rush over.
Not only him, but also the soldiers who followed him in the great victory were also eager to give it a try, waiting for Lan Yu's order.
Give the order and we'll rush in!
But at the last moment, Lan Yu took a look at the red flag flying above the city, and he was still honest.
This is the territory of the Ming Dynasty. It is not a place where you can do whatever you want. Don't seek death.
Lan Yu honestly handed over the sign and asked the soldiers to report it.
The soldiers who got the sign were polite, but they were still not allowed to enter Guancheng. They could only camp outside and wait for orders temporarily.
In this way, the future champion who had made great achievements in battle was actually blocked from Juyongguan, unable to make any progress.
The only good thing was that the soldiers in the city brought some food, including pork, venison, and vegetables.
Lan Yu and the others finally had a hot bite.
But after eating and drinking enough, Lan Yu became confused.
No matter how you calculate it, his military exploits are not small, so why doesn't anyone care about him?
Could it be that Guan Duo destroyed Goryeo? Or maybe Zhu Ying took over Bashu?
It can't be done!
They can't possibly be faster than me!
Lan Yu was full of confusion, but fortunately it didn't take long. On the second day, someone actually came to greet them, and it was none other than Prince Zhu Biao.
Under the protection of dozens of guards, the crown prince of the Ming Dynasty came to Juyongguan. After verifying his identity, Zhu Biao quickly ordered the city gate to be opened to welcome Lan Yu.
In fact, few people have noticed that Lan Yu is also half a relative of the emperor.
Zhu Yuanzhang and Chang Yuchun must have had a baby engagement.
In other words, Lan Yu's niece is Zhu Biao's future crown princess, so he will also be Zhu Biao's future uncle.
Of course, compared to this status, Lan Yu prefers another status. He studied with Zhang Ximeng and was almost considered a senior brother of Zhang Ximeng's school. Zhu Biao was his junior brother.
Compared to his wife's uncle, this senior brother obviously has more weight.
Anyway, no matter what, these two people are definitely not far away.
"Your Highness, I, I have accomplished great achievements so easily... Where is Prime Minister Zhang? Why didn't he come? Also, how does the court plan to award rewards? Do you want me to hand over the list of meritorious soldiers?"
Zhu Biao looked at the eager Lan Yu and sighed helplessly.
"Um... General Lan, you'd better wait a moment. Something happened in the court recently."
"What is it? How about taking back Song Lizong's skull?"
Zhu Biao pondered for a while and could only say helplessly: "It's not worth mentioning!"
Lan Yu is stupid, dear! He worked hard, took the lead, risked his life, but compared with others, he is not worth mentioning!
"Your Highness, what happened to our Ming Dynasty? Please tell me quickly!"
…
At dusk, a bonfire was built.
The soldiers sat around and sang desolate war songs one after another.
With the ancient Juyongguan at their backs and facing the boundless desert, everyone was in a comfortable mood and in high spirits. In twos and threes, they chatted about the battle, their hometown, and their thoughts.
Lan Yu and several commanders, colleagues, and ministers gathered around Zhu Biao, eating roast venison and chatting about what happened in the court.
Lan Yu and others' eyes widened from beginning to end, and they almost died of fright.
"Your Highness, we know about the Changlu Saltworks, and I also know about the opening method... But I don't understand how such an opening method can cause heads to roll and blood to flow into rivers... Also, isn't Prime Minister Zhang always there?
Is it the right prime minister of the province of Menxia? What was the province of Menxia doing in the past? Why did everyone suddenly become afraid?"
Zhu Biao smiled helplessly and said, "General Lan, to be honest, I have been reading newspapers every day these days, and I have also consulted Academicians Liu and Academicians Song."
"Liu Bowen and Song Lian? What did they say?" Lan Yu asked curiously.
Zhu Biao shook his head, "They only say that Zhang Xiang's uncanny calculations are unparalleled in the world!"
"Then what?"
"Then they went back to Beijing."
"Back to Beijing?"
"Yes, there is an extreme shortage of officials in Menxia Province now. Mr. Zhang is replenishing the number of officials in Menxia Province. Scholars Song and Liu have been transferred back." Zhu Biao said: "I heard that even Gong Bosui returned to Yingtian from Lingnan. This
This time, Mr. Zhang really wanted to play something serious! I wanted to go back and watch the fun, but there was no one left in the department. I was looking after the vassal state for my fourth brother, so I didn’t know if I could go back?"
Zhu Biao puffed out his cheeks, and the venison in his hand was no longer fragrant.
Lan Yu stared at her eyes and suddenly took a bite of the barbecue in her hand. With a ferocious look on her face, she suddenly shouted: "This is what a man does! I want to go in and live in peace! I want to punish corrupt officials! No one can stop me."
, What does it mean to kill a few remnants of the Yuan Dynasty? I want to return to Beijing! Prime Minister Zhang, please transfer me back quickly!"
This guy was shouting at the top of his lungs and howling like a ghost. I wonder who thought he was being stimulated!
Zhu Biao just smiled and said nothing, please stop dreaming.
Menxia Province is now the most popular place in the entire Ming Dynasty. If you want to get in, you have to rely on your ability and impeccable skills. You also need the approval of Prime Minister Zhang, otherwise ordinary people will not be able to get in.
And even if you enter the province, it doesn't mean you can kill them!
That time has passed. Being an official and doing things are about human relations and sophistication, not about cutting and killing.
People like you should stay in the frontier, fight for the country, and stop Shi Yanran!
Lan Yu was extremely helpless, but he did know his own level. It was already destined many years ago that he would not be able to assist the country and govern the people.
But it has to be said that the changes in the situation of the court this time are truly earth-shaking and heart-warming. Even the fiercest battle cannot describe even one ten thousandth of it.
Zhang Ximeng laid out the plan calmly and used salt to break the situation...from the salt field, to the salt law, from the border army, to the finance and taxation...Finally, he pulled all the civil servants into the water and completed the most important changes. From beginning to end, he pushed the boat along with the flow. It was a stroke of genius.
Zhu Yuanzhang was at the top of the Ninth Five-Year Plan, and he made bold and bold killings that made hundreds of officials tremble and all the people cheered.
The price of salt was cheap and a new court situation was created. Lao Zhu's killing skills were definitely at the forefront of all emperors.
Let’s talk about Li Shanchang, Yang Xian, Hu Weiyong and others. They are also all experts. Their judgment of the situation and the corresponding measures taken are also at the pinnacle of civil servant wisdom.
If they hadn't met Zhang Ximeng and Zhu Yuanzhang, their routine would have been at least half effective, and the Ming Dynasty would still be in chaos!
Anyway, all in all, this is a battle of swords and swords that reaches a very high level.
As for Lan Yu's attack in the desert... How do you compare? On one side is the heavyweight boxing champion, fighting for supremacy in the ring, and winning the gold belt; on the other side is the kindergarten hero, punching me, crying for the parents. Look at this end, the battle between the gods and the saints
I shed tears too, look at that end, the cute pet competition can make a duck sweat.
The Three Gorges flood discharge, the urine test sample, the world's richest man accidentally met with a monthly salary of 3,200.
This one is a real sword and a real spear, the Qinhuai River is stained red with blood, and the other one is a fast man and a fast horse, having a picnic and traveling in the desert.
It's better, but it's quite embarrassing!
Lan Yu scratched his head and did not give him a grand welcome ceremony. It was purely a normal behavior and he was not worthy of the court to take another look at him.
It's not that I don't work hard to fight and make meritorious deeds, it's just that there are gentlemen in the court who are not in the same dimension at all.
The overlord was trapped in Gaixia, and Guan Gong walked to Maicheng.
I look up to the sky and sigh, saying nothing!
But Lan Yu didn't expect that his victory would alarm Zhu Yuanzhang.
In the midst of the bloody storm, such a happy event is the icing on the cake, and I can be happy.
Lao Zhu immediately issued an order for Lan Yu to carry Song Lizong's skull and immediately go to Beijing to present a gift.
Good guy, Lan Yu, who was depressed, actually won the lottery again.
He also set off quickly and took a boat from Peiping to the south.
Logically speaking, a general should ride back to the capital.
The most important thing is to meet with His Majesty as soon as possible.
But the seizure of Lan Yu this time was really quite a lot.
In addition to this drinking utensil, there are many things, plus the Yuan Ting's files, including the situation of the vassal states in the Western Regions. Lan Yu chose to escort him to Beijing and also gave it to Zhang Ximeng.
In this way, Lan Yu's movements were gone, and correspondingly, she had some free time.
Every time he passed by a place, Lan Yu would go to the market.
When he arrived at Yingtian, there were seventeen jars in front of him.
After opening it, it was full of salt.
"Seventeen jars, thirteen of which cost seven cents per catty and one five cents. The remaining three jars cost eight cents in two places and ten cents in one place! Mainly because of heavy rains and blocked roads, which caused prices to rise.
rise."
After Lan Yu finished speaking, he placed the jars in order.
There is also a note on it with the origin of the jar.
Lan Yu put aside the skull wine bowl filled with pearls and gems.
"It is true that treasures are rare, but I want to say that the price of salt in the Ming Dynasty has indeed dropped... it is much cheaper than in the past few hundred years, from the Zhao and Song Dynasties to the Yuan Dynasty!"
Facing the interviewing reporter, Lan Yu said proudly: "We in Ming Dynasty have indeed accomplished what others cannot do! This is the real victory!"
