For this era, food is the foundation of a country.
If you have food in your hands, you will not panic. Food is the first priority for the people... Countless folk proverbs talk about the importance of food to individuals and the country.
Therefore, the strength of powerful people mainly depends on land and population. On the contrary, the main business of powerful people is to annex land.
Large-scale grain trading is difficult, and once the convoy is dispatched, it cannot be concealed from anyone.
After Helianyan took him to see the money piled up in the warehouse, Yelvshu said: "The grain is in Kunzhou. How to transport it back, the deputy envoy needs to think of his own way."
"How about transporting it out of the city?" He Lianyan asked.
"That's my business." Yelvshu was as confident as if all the officials were his grandchildren.
"Easy to talk about." He Lianyan agreed on behalf of Yang Xuan.
The two parties agreed on a time, and Yelvshu left two men behind and went back to prepare.
"Could it be a trap?"
In the lobby, everyone was discussing.
Nan He said: "Do you know the origin of this person? Is it reliable? If a trap is set and money and trivial matters are stolen, the people who go to deal with it will probably be wiped out."
Although he didn't question He Lianyan, it seemed that he meant exactly what he said.
"Be careful." The old thief said: "When I used to travel in the world, there were traps like this... He'er told me."
This old ghost didn't want to offend He Lianyan, so he left the topic to Jiang He'er from the very beginning, thus diverting the trouble away.
It's interesting... Yang Xuan sat on it, noncommittal.
Jiang He'er didn't feel sleepy anymore when he mentioned this, "All you need to do is throw two guys out as bait, take the supporting people to the preset place, and have an ambush... and it's all over."
"He'er is indeed an old Jianghu!" The old thief followed suit. While flattering Jiang He'er, he also directed his hatred towards her.
Yang Xuan looked at him. The old thief was feeling proud. He accidentally saw Yang Xuan's half-smiling expression and couldn't help but raise his hand in amusement.
It's so embarrassing to be caught red-handed by your boss playing tricks!
Now, the problem is all on He Lianyan's side.
She is in charge of secret spies, and she is the one who is most familiar with Beiliao under Yang Xuan.
This was a big operation. He Lianyan knew Yang Xuan's desire for food. If possible, he would have pawned the entire Jiedushi Palace in exchange for food.
Go, you must go!
But crisis assessment must be sound.
This is her problem.
If something goes wrong, she will be the first to suffer.
Han Ji saw that she was deep in thought and looked at Yang Xuan.
Are you trying to help He Lianyan out?
Yang Xuan was noncommittal.
It is not a grassroots team now, but a huge system.
With more and more people under his command, internal undercurrents will naturally surge. He never thought that his subordinates would be harmonious... To be honest, if his subordinates were harmonious, he would have to turn a blind eye when sleeping.
He is the lord, and what he has to do is to control the internal undercurrent within a certain range.
If it doesn’t exceed this range, I’m watching a show. If it exceeds this range, bang! I’ll slap it back.
It's like an old thief, who just looked at him with a smile but not a smile, and now he is wilting.
He Lianyan raised his head and said, "I have known Yelvshu's name for a long time. He is a powerful businessman in Northern Liao and is good at dancing...his biggest business is grain."
Yang Xuan said, "Is his nature greedy or what?"
This question got to the root of the matter and relieved Helianyan's pressure.
When to speak and to what extent to speak is a science. He has no teacher and needs to explore step by step.
He Lianyan felt grateful in her heart, "Greedy."
Yang Xuan said: "In this case, this can be done."
An official said: "If it's a trap..."
Yang Xuandan said calmly: "Even if it is a trap, I can fill it up!"
The old thief sent a rainbow fart, "Mr. Lang is mighty and domineering!"
This is to make up for the mistake of being captured earlier.
Yang Xuan was noncommittal, "Old thief!"
"exist!"
"You led people to investigate in front, and something went wrong..."
This is knocking.
The old thief said with awe in his heart, "Yes."
Liu Qing had been silent until now, and now he said, "Why do you need to go to this matter yourself? Just send someone to do it."
"That's right! A son with a lot of money cannot sit down in court."
"I'm willing to go as an official!"
Several officials stood up and asked for orders.
The initiative of his subordinates was good, which made Yang Xuan very pleased. However, he shook his head and said, "I will definitely go this time."
He stood up and pointed to the map hanging on the wall, "The Ministry of Revenue will gradually cut off the supply of food and weapons to my northern Xinjiang. We can still think of ways to deal with weapons for the time being, but there is nothing we can do about food.
Next year, our northern Xinjiang must open up wasteland on a large scale.
But before that, we must first find food to tide over the current difficulties."
This is the current strategy.
"This is an overwhelming task!" Yang Xuan tapped the map with his fingers, "Besides, I'm not just going to buy food. I also want to see what Kunzhou is like and take a walk."
His words were profound, and Jiang Cunzhong was surprised, "Is the deputy thinking of attacking Kunzhou?"
Yang Xuan smiled, "It's just a rainy day."
Then they dispersed.
Yang Xuan also slipped.
Liu Qing left a few generals behind to discuss matters. After the matter was finished, Zhang Du said: "The deputy envoy is now thinking about how to attack Kunzhou in the future. Is it too early? Besides, in recent years, the people in Northern Xinjiang can't
I have never been to Kunzhou and attacked Kunzhou..."
Liu Qing said calmly: "From the moment he took over, the deputy envoy's thought was not to defend Northern Xinjiang, but..."
He looked at the map and said, "Go ahead!"
Zhang Du felt hot in his heart, "But we don't have enough people!"
"The deputy envoy said that soldiers are more valuable than more elite soldiers." Liu Qing asked: "In terms of military management and military tactics, who can match him? What you have to do is follow him."
Zhang Du's blood surged all over his body, "What is the deputy envoy's goal?"
Liu Qing said: "He once told me once... Wherever the iron hoof of the Tang Dynasty tiger goes, it is the territory of the Tang Dynasty!"
These words are not like those spoken by a military governor, but more like those spoken by an emperor.
Zhang Du felt his eyes light up, "Okay! I will follow the deputy envoy and conquer the world together!"
After everyone left, Liu Qing picked up his pen, looked out the door, and whispered softly: "Baby, I have done everything for you. But you should also tell me what you want to do!"
…
"Going to Kunzhou?"
Zhou Ning was stunned, "Kunzhou seems to be in Beiliao, right?"
"A good wife actually knows where Kunzhou is. She is indeed a great talent." Yang Xuan hugged his son and teased his wife while thinking about the trip.
Zhou Ning helped Dai wear his glasses, "Zitai made fun of me."
"No, I feel sincerely." Yang Xuan said sincerely: "Look, since you entered the house, I have not worried about family affairs. This family is getting bigger and bigger, and everything is necessary for food, clothing, housing and transportation.
It’s not easy for you to worry about!”
When I first got married, the Yang family had only a small population and was simple.
But as Yang Xuan's status changed, the number of Yang family members increased and became more and more complicated.
You have to be careful with many people, otherwise Yang Xuan will be trying to win over you and you will be offended, which is exactly the opposite.
It’s not easy for Zhou Ning, but he feels it is his responsibility.
People are not afraid of being tired when doing things, but they are afraid that no one will understand them.
Before departure, appeasing the backyard is an essential procedure.
Aunt Guan saw this and said to Yi Niang: "A husband is considerate to his wife."
Yi Niang said: "It is easy to be considerate, but it is difficult to be considerate all the time."
"Who says it's not the case!" Guan Auntie said with a smile: "When my wife married my uncle, many people in the Zhou family were not optimistic about this marriage, but now if I ask again, oh! A group of people's eyes are red with envy.
, I wish it was my daughter who married my uncle, hahahaha!"
Yan smiled and said, "There is someone at home."
Aunt Guan went to the front yard.
It was a steward who came.
"Someone at home asked me to deliver a message." The steward smiled and handed over a small bundle.
Aunt Guan sneered, "Don't do this, or you'll be kicked out!"
The steward smiled coquettishly, "At home... at Erlangjun's place, let me ask if any of my confidants are unmarried?"
Aunt Guan nodded, "Wang Lao Er is not married, what's wrong?"
The steward smiled and said: "It is indeed him. Mr. Erlang said that he heard that Wang Laoer is not married, and he happens to have a granddaughter at home. Not to mention that she is beautiful and beautiful, but she is also pretty, and she is well-educated and sensible...
"
Aunt Guan's heart moved, "I'll go ask."
The steward nodded, "Mr. Erlang said, I will thank you again after the work is done."
Aunt Guan went to the backyard. She wanted to talk to Zhou Ning about this, but she saw Zhou Ning and her people packing for Yang Xuan. They were very busy, so she went to look for Yang Xuan.
"The emperor missed a hit and will not attack again in a short time. He cannot afford to lose this person. What should be noted is the powerful and powerful people in the world, especially Jianyunguan. They have not been seen taking action after that time. The more
In this case, you have to be more careful."
Yang Xuan was explaining the security at home after he left. When he saw the housekeeper outside the door, he nodded, "Go!"
"Don't worry, Mr. Lang!"
Qiu Longwei resigned, and when he went out, he glanced at Aunt Guan.
These birdies, how long have I been coming to the Yang family, but every time I look at me, my eyes are cold, as if I am a spy!
Aunt Guan came in and said, "I've met Mr. Lang. I'm sorry, Mr. Second Brother, what are your plans?"
Why is this woman asking this question? Being a matchmaker... Yang Xuan thought for a while, "This matter depends first on his own will, and secondly on the woman's ability to run the house."
The second child is a stick. In the past, Yang Xuan thought that he and Liang Huahua could make it, but he didn't expect that this guy would just slap his butt and leave without any nostalgia at all.
Ruthless!
Later he figured out that Wang Laoer's feelings for Liang Huahua were not between men and women at all.
Blind for nothing!
So after careful consideration, he felt that it was still up to Wang Laoer to see what he wanted.
As for age, that doesn't matter.
Aunt Guan smiled and said: "That's right! The second brother is straightforward. If the woman in the family cannot stand up, then life will be difficult. There happens to be someone here..."
"Who?" Yang Xuan glanced at her.
Why is this woman interested in being a matchmaker?
"People from the Zhou family." Aunt Guan said.
"Let's talk about this later!"
Yang Xuan vetoed the matter almost immediately.
Aunt Guan still wanted to persuade her, but when she saw Yang Xuan's slightly cold expression, her heart skipped a beat and said, "Please leave."
After she left, Yang Xuan shook his head and said, "This is coming from the camp."
In the evening, the couple will be separated for a while, so they naturally have to work hard to communicate.
Boss Yang was panting while communicating and lay down pretending to be a dead dog.
Zhou Ning leaned on his chest, "Zitai, do you have anything to say?"
A woman's intuition is so terrible... Yang Xuan put his arm around her shoulders and said, "Is there someone from the Zhou family who wants to marry me?"
"who?"
"Second child."
"Yeah! I understand."
The couple cuddled together, and just when they were drowsy, Yang Xuan suddenly asked: "Why don't you say a word for Mrs. Zhou?"
Zhou Ning shook her head gently, her hair brushing across Yang Xuan's chest, feeling a little itchy, "I am the Yang family's wife."
This woman... Yang Xuan tightened his grip.
After sending Yang Xuan off the next day, Zhou Ning asked Aunt Guan to talk to him.
"The girl on my second uncle's side is naturally nice, but the second uncle is like a brother to my husband. The Zhou girls are naturally well-educated, but the second uncle's innocent temperament... is not suitable."
How will a girl from a wealthy family live her life when she marries an innocent man? One is full of thoughts about the wealthy family, and the other is full of thoughts about the sons and daughters of the world.
I can't live this day!
"yes."
"By the way, tell them." Zhou Ning sat upright with a calm expression, "Aweng and Aye will pay attention to what your husband says now. They want to use your husband's side to fight for power in a roundabout way...
These methods are invisible in the eyes of husbands. Stop it and don't lose the Zhou family!
That’s all, I’ll go talk to you tomorrow so that my second uncle won’t be dissatisfied.”
The big family seems to be harmonious, but secretly there are no less fights than in the middle of the court.
The steward stayed in the front yard of Yang's house, so he didn't have to worry about food and drink. When he got up in the morning, he saw Yang Xuan being surrounded by people and went out, and he couldn't help but sigh for the past.
He had just finished breakfast when he saw Lin Feibao entering the front yard. He turned his eyes and found him.
"Lang Jun asked me to come and deliver the message!"
Lin Feibao's expression was solemn, which made the steward feel that he was conveying an order, and he was heartbroken.
"I heard that my second uncle's family tradition is strict, and I wonder how talented my son is.
Naturally, the Zhou family has no worries about finding an official career.
It is bitterly cold in northern Xinjiang. I have something to ask my second uncle to consider. The edge of a sword comes from sharpening, and the fragrance of plum blossoms comes from the bitter cold.
If my second uncle doesn’t give up, I can let one of my disciples come to Northern Xinjiang for training.”
Guan was stunned for a moment, then felt ecstatic.
After defeating Helianfeng's imperial commander, Northern Xinjiang became a popular target in the eyes of officials. Anyone who could come to Northern Xinjiang to make a fortune and get promoted back home would not be a problem.
But Yang Xuan controls Northern Xinjiang. Come to think of it, I'm sorry, it all depends on your ability and the backers behind you.
We have the ability, but we are not all in the same group. I'm sorry, we have to go where we came from.
Strong background, but no ability. Sorry, Northern Xinjiang does not support idlers...
After such rectifications several times, the officials who wanted to come for gold plating returned in disgrace.
Here, you can not only gain experience, but also accumulate qualifications. It can be called a treasured place for officialdom.
But Yang Xuan had a cold face and wouldn't give anyone any face, so he couldn't get in!
Now that Yang Xuan has spoken, it must be a certainty. In addition, with him here, the son of the Zhou family will naturally have no worries about his future... Moreover, from then on, the second uncle's side has a relationship with Yang Xuan.
This is a broad road!
The steward was overjoyed and said, "Thank you very much, uncle."
Just as Lin Feibao left, Zhou Ning came out.
The servants scurried away.
When we arrived at the front yard, the steward was called.
Zhou Ning knew that such matters must be resolved decisively, otherwise there will be endless troubles, so he said with an almost stern voice: "Tell your family that you will never mention this marriage in the future, it is embarrassing!"
This person in charge was his second uncle. Zhou Ning was waiting for him to explain and argue, and then slapped him to death again.
"yes."
The steward's submissive and obedient manner reminded Zhou Ning of wealth.
This is wrong!
Zhou Ning wondered in his heart, "If my second uncle is dissatisfied, there is no need to bother Aweng Aye, just come to me!"
These words are stronger than the previous ones.
The steward became more and more respectful, "Erlang Jun will only be happy."
When did the second uncle become such a temperament?
Zhou Ning was stunned.
She waved her hands helplessly and the manager resigned.
Guan Auntie chased him out.
When she came back, she had a complicated look on her face, "Lang Jun has just promised one of Erlang Jun's children to serve as an official in Northern Xinjiang."
My uncle's martial arts and martial arts skills are both impressive and he personally cultivates...
This love is so great!
Everything is done to make the wife respect her status in her natal family and be respected by others.
To have such a husband... Aunt Guan sighed, "It's rare to have a lover!"
Zhou Ning was startled, then pursed his lips and smiled.
