Chen Bu wanted to go to Jiujiang. Wu Sheng had actually seen some signs of it, but he didn't expect it to happen so soon.
After thinking for a moment, Wu Sheng asked: "Sophora japonica, do you want him to go?"
Huaihua Jian angrily said: "What are you asking me for? He doesn't follow you well, he has other intentions, wants to fly away, and is ungrateful! Brother Sun, you can take care of it yourself!"
She herself was asked by Zhao Shang's name at first, and she didn't want to go to Jiujiang at all. If it wasn't to help Wu Sheng expand his influence to Jiujiang, she would rather stay in Yangzhou peacefully than go anywhere.
Wu Sheng doesn't think this is ungrateful. When people go to higher places, it's not outrageous to want to change their family when they have the opportunity. Besides, the place to change is not one's enemy, so why bother to keep others in one's own land?
How about blocking his future? Instead of a good friend turning into an enemy, it is better to give him a ride and let him fly high. Maybe he will be a helpful helping hand when we meet in the future.
"I think it's up to Sophora japonica to decide whether he will stay or go and his future."
"Who am I? How can I decide?"
"You are the second sister of Jiujiang. Whether he can go to Jiujiang or not is up to you Huaihua!"
"You really want me to decide?"
"real!"
Huaihua Jian fell into deep thought, hesitated for a long time, and suddenly sighed: "Forget it, let him go. Xiaohuan is not someone who takes care of the general affairs. He can really help if he goes."
Wu Sheng smiled: "I listen to you."
The Jiujiang incident has come to an end. The biggest result obtained by Wu Sheng is that he has maintained his influence over Jiujiang, or it should be said that he has further strengthened his influence over Jiujiang.
Soon, he returned to Yanluoshan. Whether it was to expand Shouchun, influence Jiujiang, or form an alliance with Yingdu and Suicheng, the ultimate goal was for the King Yu's cave here in Yanluoshan.
In the next two months, Taoist priests Suo and Zhang continued to preach, and the task force composed of brothers Lu Kuang and Wei Shumang continued to crack down on evil heretics. Everything was in a virtuous circle.
Wu Sheng just watched the power of faith in Fangchi continue to grow, calculating when he would be able to cross Fangchi and reach the statue of King Yu.
But things are unpredictable. When winter came, Cui Ming rushed there and told him a very bad news.
Cui Ming stood on the top of Yanluo Mountain, looking at the snow-capped mountains, the villages scattered around the lakes in the mountains, and the rising smoke. He couldn't help but sigh, and explained to Wu Sheng the reason for his trip.
: "Get ready to move."
Wu Sheng was startled: "What relocation?"
Cui Ming pointed to the Temple of King Yu and the Yanhu Villa next to the temple: "Zhuangzi, the temple, and all the property that can be moved away."
Wu Sheng definitely refused: "What happened?"
Cui Mingdao: "Yan Luoshan was attracted by Fei."
Fei is naturally the most trusted minister of the King of Chu today, the young master Fei Wuji. There is almost no place that Fei likes that he can't get. At the beginning, Yanluoshan was a "backcountry", and although the scenery was pleasant,
But it belongs to wasteland. If you want to develop this land, you don't know how much manpower and material resources will be spent.
Wu Sheng vigorously developed it for two years, invested huge amounts of money, and moved all the barbarian villages hundreds of miles around here. Only then did it reach a large scale, with a population of six to seven thousand people, and it began to become prosperous. Unexpectedly, it would become prosperous so quickly.
Someone was being targeted, and it was Fei who was being targeted.
Why is it so unhappy? Why can't I live in peace and let me practice?
Wu Sheng suddenly became angry and said: "This is your fiefdom and your military achievements. How can you just rob it?"
Cui Ming smiled bitterly: "Of course it's not a robbery. Two hundred yi of gold, Zhuo Shayi, just north of Yangzhou, and the position of Yangzhou's right disciple. This is the condition offered by Fei. Do you want me to exchange it or not? If you dare not to exchange it, I will
Once the position of left disciple is lost, Yan Luoshan still cannot keep it."
The area of Zhuosha Town is not big, only about 5,000 acres, and there are only about a hundred households in the feudal household. Plus the two hundred yi gold is far from enough for Wu Sheng's investment. If Cui Ming is not promised to be promoted to the right disciple, it is almost equal to
Ming robbed it.
But what Cui Ming said was right. The Fei family had great power over the Chu State. It would not be easy to deal with Cui Ming, a Qi State fugitive.
So Cui Mingba rushed over and asked Wu Sheng to move the temple and Yanhu Villa. As for the village and thousands of villagers, they didn't even dare to move. What Fei wanted was not only the large tracts of farmland or orchards developed, but also these thousands of people.
The savages who live here are said to be savages, but in fact they are already feudal people. If they are moved away, it will be a provocation to the Fei family.
"One thousand, at most, we will move a thousand villagers away. One more will not work." Cui Ming gritted his teeth and said, his heart was bleeding. In the past two years, he has also invested hundreds of dollars in Yanluoshan, and it is expected to start next year.
, according to the agreement between Wu Sheng and him, the Yanluoshan fiefdom can pay him 500,000 catties of grain every year!
"Why did you suddenly fall in love with this place?" Wu Sheng asked.
Cui Ming explained: "Fei Hong, the son of Fei Wuji, was moved from Juan to Zuo the month before last and became a senior official. Fei Wuji also successfully sought a daughter from the Jing family. Fei Hong will marry Jing Rui's daughter. This is Yan Luoshan."
The fief that Fei Wuji gave to the newlyweds. After all, Yan Luoshan has become a fat man now!"
"When will you get married?"
"I heard that there are three more months, at the beginning of spring next year, so this Yanluoshan must be handed over to Fei before the end of the year."
This was a real blow to Wu Sheng's life. After thinking for a moment, Wu Sheng asked: "Which one do you prefer, the position of right disciple or Yan Luoshan?"
Cui Ming shook his head and said: "In the high sect of Yangzhou, the right disciple ranks second. He is one point higher than me, the left disciple, and has more power. However, they are both middle-level officials. There is no real difference. If I were to go to Yanluoshan
If you change it, it will definitely not be changed. No one will change it."
Wu Sheng asked again: "Where is Fan Ziyuan? Fei Wuji allowed you to be his right disciple, where is he going?"
Cui Mingdao: "Whether he enters the capital of Ying or becomes the head of another county, it depends on what Fei Wuji will do. The Fan family is a powerful family in the southeast of Chu State, and Fei Wuji will not easily make enemies."
Wu Sheng paced back and forth, unable to find a breakthrough for a while. It would be great if Yanluoshan was a fief in his own name. If Fei Wuji continued to act recklessly, he would not openly rob the fief of the Academy.
Firstly, it was not easy for him to capture Yan Luoshan. Secondly, he did not want to draw attention to others in case his secret was revealed, so he left it to Cui Ming to fight for it. This way he could indeed avoid being targeted by interested parties, which was considered safe.
But there are no absolutes in everything. Once Fei takes notice, Cui Ming, a Yangzhou disciple, won't be able to stand it. They have plenty of ways to deal with you.
Damn Fei Wuji!
Seeing that the end of the year is about a month away, how can we seize such a short time and save Yan Luoshan?
The two people were in a daze on the top of the mountain, with various thoughts going back and forth.
After a long time, Wu Sheng asked: "Do you have a backer in Ying... Just a backer, who do you belong to?"
Cui Mingdao: "During the Southern Expedition to the Four Kingdoms, Cui was appreciated by Dr. Zhao. If we want to say that he has a backer, it is Dr. Zhao."
Thanks to Xie Yusheng and Xin Xitang for the reward, and to fellow Taoists for their encouragement with monthly tickets and recommended tickets!
