Doupeng was a little surprised. He really didn't know these things. He blinked and said, "What's going on? Did Wu Yinzhi take office only after he brought the legion? But I looked at the records of that year, and he only brought dozens of
The entourage that set off by sea was not a 3,000-strong legion going directly to Guangzhou. Such a large-scale army mobilization is not something that can be concealed casually."
The black robe sighed: "It was only after I heard about these things from the old officials in Guangzhou that I understood that Wu Yinzhi only took a few dozen followers with him on the surface, but his three thousand subordinates were sent in batches.
, divided the roads, some went by land as merchant gang members, and some went by sea as escorts of maritime merchants, and agreed on a time and gathering place. At that time, he
He received secret help from more than a dozen families and used the resources of these families for maritime trade. Of course, the reward was to allow the nephews of these families to serve as officials in Guangzhou. Therefore, Wu Yinzhi came well prepared.
If we get rid of the children of other aristocratic families who originally occupied the official positions in Guangzhou, how can we possibly free up the places for the nephews and nephews of these families?"
Doupeng nodded: "I see. I see that the children of the Chu family and the Yuan family later held some official positions in Guangzhou. I wonder when Wu Yinzhi got involved with these families. It turns out that there is such a thing.
A first-level transaction, but Liu Tingyun has never reported these matters to me. It is said that she is the one who mediates these matters between middle-class families."
The ancestor said coldly: "Venerable Doupeng, this is your biggest mistake. In fact, Liu Tingyun never really belonged to you from the beginning. When she was the apostle of the black-robed Venerable, she was coerced and lured.
I just joined the Tiandao Alliance, so I’ll follow you and the black-robed Lord
For a disciple like this who has had Gu worms implanted in her body since she was a child and was trained as a disciple, she has her own ideas. The Gu worms have given her strength and knowledge, but they have also become a burden to her. There is nothing you can do about it.
Let’s understand her true thoughts from the poison in her body.”
Doupeng's face turned slightly red: "This is a disciple who made an oversight. Please punish me, ancestor, because the disciple thought that Liu Tingyun was very afraid of death. She would not dare to resist if there were poisonous insects on her body. But she didn't expect that Liu Tingyun was most afraid of death."
Liu Tingyun, in order to get rid of
Our control over her is to prevent her from being killed by us at the first thought, but to try our best to stand on her own feet. In this way, these measures against Lingnan are also actions that Liu Tingyun has planned for a long time. So what exactly does she want?
What are you trying to figure out?”
The black robe sneered: "What Liu Tingyun wants to do is basically not the wealth and taxation of Lingnan, but the strange medicinal materials from foreign lands and Southeast Asia. To put it bluntly, she wants to find the possibility of refining the poison-repelling pills here.
Something that can relieve oneself of the poison, or can make the poison directly integrate with oneself instead of killing oneself casually. Of course, this
She does not have some prescriptions, but she can prepare those medicinal materials that cannot be found in the Central Plains in advance and use them casually if there is a chance in the future. Therefore, Wu Yinzhi also made some rare medicinal materials according to the cooperation agreement with the children of these aristocratic families.
, gave it to the children of these aristocratic families, and then these people turned around and provided it to Liu Tingyun, this is called being prepared."
Doupeng sighed: "The city is really deep. It not only gave Wu Yinzhi a face, allowing him to take office smoothly, but also took the opportunity to make friends with more than a dozen middle-class families, so that their nephews did not have to go to Liu Yu and Liu
Yi's army was mixed with military merit, risking death in battle
There is a risk. If you become an official here in Guangzhou, although your credit will rise slowly, you can make a lot of money. Moreover, Wu Yinzhi's anti-corruption campaign was also a great political achievement, and these people will also benefit from following it.
, no worse than mixed military merit."
The black robe smiled and said: "That's right, and the model of joining the army and doing military exploits in the rear is generally only found in big families such as the Wang family, the Xie family, and the Yu family. They support each other or marry or make friends with others.
When the children of good big families compete for quota, the only ones Liu Tingyun can get are the Chu family, the Fan family, and the Yuan family.
It is not easy for lower-class families, or some wealthy families in Wu District, such as the Lu family, the Gu family, and the Shen family, to get quotas to join the army. To serve in places like Yuzhou, if Liu Yi cannot
If they take command and go on an expedition, they will just be ordinary state and county officials, and there won’t be much room for them.”
"On the contrary, in a place like Guangzhou, where the sky is high and the emperor is far away, if you manage politics well, whether you appease the local barbarian tribes, increase the number of barbarian households, or control the trade routes here, you can make a lot of money.
It is a good thing to gain both fame and fortune,
In the past, the children of the aristocratic family may have been afraid of the miasma and poisonous diseases here in Guangzhou, but since Diao Kui came to Guangzhou, and with the cooperation of Tianshi Dao, he made pills to repel epidemics and prevent poisons. The children of the Wudi family here no longer need to
I’m worried about my life.”
"So compared to Liu Yu's military merit system, where you have to join the army or make great achievements in the local area, it has become easier to make achievements or make money in places like Guangzhou and Jiaozhou.
Liu Tingyun's vision is quite sharp in this place. Of course, in the final analysis of all this, you, Lord Doupeng, do not monitor others enough."
Doupeng gritted his teeth: "I have to focus on Liu Yu. Liu Tingyun, I originally arranged for her and Liu Yi to contain each other. Even if Liu Tingyun wins over the aristocratic family for Liu Yi, she will always go to Xie Hun, Xi Sengshi
With the way these people behave, I really didn’t expect that Liu Tingyun would secretly have such a relationship with Wu Yinzhi.”
The ancestor shook his head: "Venerable Doupeng, don't get me wrong. I'm afraid Liu Tingyun has no direct connection with Wu Yinzhi. It should be the families she controls who took the initiative to find Wu Yinzhi. What I know is that Chu Xiuzhi is the same as Wu Yinzhi."
The eldest son, Wu Kuangzhi, has a very good relationship. He was a classmate when he was studying at Guozi School. I’m afraid
, Many of the 3,000 veterans Liu Tingyun provided to Wu Yinzhi were Liu Yi's original underground legion in Jiankang City. She also wanted to use the money Wu Yinzhi earned in Guangzhou to provide Liu Yi with military expenses for recruiting troops in Yuzhou.
, you know nothing about these transactions and the distribution of power, this is indeed your dereliction of duty."
Doupeng sighed: "It is indeed my dereliction of duty. However, during that time, I focused on the Hou Qin and Hu Xia areas in the north. I even went to Chang'an for a year or two in order to lay out a
The connection with Kumarajiva and Helianbobo has ignored the situation in Jiankang, as you know." (End of Chapter)
