"The rise of the gentry is like this. Although your Excellency does not stick to the rules, if you win, you will definitely win a county."
Li You smiled and said: "The Tang Dynasty has a vast territory, and a county is not that big of a deal. If you want to develop into a famous family... just follow suit and find the right way, then Mi County will be your back garden."
"If you follow the imperial court, you may be able to get promoted after a while, but now Mi County will not be yours, and the people around you will not be clean. After all, what the imperial power wants is balance, not merit...
.”
Jiang Yang frowned. Regardless of whether he succeeds or not tomorrow, these things about him will definitely be leaked out.
Good fellow, you, a small county magistrate, hold this kind of military weapon in your hand, what do you want other people to think? What do you want the emperor to think?
Furthermore, at this critical juncture, do you think the military governors from various places and the frontier officials have nothing else on their mind?
Do you think An Lushan is a pig-headed person? He rebelled when he was told to rebel? No other preparations? No preparation in advance?
How can they not be moved after knowing this armor?
Jiang Yang nodded and said: "I don't choose the noble family, and I don't choose the imperial power either."
"Huh?" Li You was stunned, why do you still want to go to God?
Since ancient times, the world has been dominated by the people. Although Jiang Yang has not yet expressed his ambition to become an emperor and an ancestor, he still has the idea of dominating the world.
From ancient times to the present, the person who has achieved great success has not relied on the great people?
So Jiang Yang can't go the way of the aristocratic family, he has a limit! No matter how hard you try, you can only stay there. Once you go the way of the aristocratic family, the people under his command will probably be the same as before.
Leaving a name in history? I’m afraid it’s just that it will be infamy for thousands of years!
As for the imperial power, Jiang Yang sneered. The Tang Dynasty was very glorious, and there was nothing wrong with the prosperous Tang Dynasty. However, after a few years of the Anshi Rebellion, the prosperous Tang Dynasty collapsed and could never stand up again. The north and south were separated, the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, and the world was in chaos.
If it were the early years of the Tang Dynasty, Tang Taizong, Emperor Wu, and Jiang Yang might still consider it, but now? Forget it, the royal family is almost incapable of protecting itself.
Jiang Yang said: "I will handle this matter myself, don't worry."
"Huh?" Li You was surprised. Can you handle the options of either left or right?
Jiang Yang pointed to the west with a smile and said: "Where is Chang'an, but we have 10,000 roads to Chang'an. Although the matter is serious, it is not without a solution. We just haven't found it yet. You can rest assured.
"
After chatting for a few words, Li You was asked to go back.
In the middle of the night, jackdaws were chirping low, the bright moon was obscured by a wisp of black mist, and the inexplicable weather lowered the temperature a bit.
…
Outside Wang Yuanwai's mansion, several figures passed by in a hurry. Wang Yuanwai and his clan uncle at the door looked at each other and smiled at each other.
"There should be an informant of the county magistrate near Xishan. It's not surprising that we have gathered 3,000 people on the surface, but secretly we have 5,000 people as backup. He...can't make any big waves."
"Ha, after this time, I can guarantee that uncle, your clan's status in the clan will definitely improve a lot." Wang Yuanwai was thinking in his mind.
All those armors and other trophies were handed over for his own profit, but the sugar? Keep them all, and let that Wang Chen guy take the people away as soon as he takes action tomorrow.
What is this called? Two-pronged approach! Safe and worry-free.
On the other side of the Zhu family's yard, Zhu Yong and two other people were sitting at a stone table.
"The Wang family will definitely make some moves tomorrow. What do you think?" Zhu Yong sat at the table and took a sip of wine.
One of the two people in front of the door looked a little weak in stature and looked a little old. A trace of gleam appeared on his wrinkled face and he said: "The mantis is catching the cicada and the oriole is behind. I think we can be the oriole."
"What should I say?" The burly man beside him was wearing a smart suit and had a thick beard on his face.
The old man chuckled twice and said: "The county magistrate is not easy to mess with. Three thousand local warriors plus those armors are enough for the king to drink a pot."
"As long as we wait for them to take action, we will take action slowly. People other than Wang Yuan are horse thieves after all. We only need to take action in the name of quelling the chaos. When the time comes, the entire Xiami County will be plowed to the ground."
"Haha, we can deal with all the nobles who disobey us." The old man said with a smile: "When the time comes, just report it to the horse bandits and we will put an end to the chaos."
"Not only can we bring the army in openly and reap the fruits of the entire Xiami County, but we can also invite a wave of divine grace."
The old man smiled and said: "What is our biggest advantage? Of course it is righteousness! We are the army of the imperial court. Their horse bandits and local braves are strictly speaking against the regulations. Do you understand? We can use our bodies
You can’t do a lot of things.”
The burly man nodded and said: "I listen to you, I will send a message tonight, asking them to gather first, and they will definitely arrive at the scene within two hours tomorrow."
"Okay, after we get to Xiami County, it's still the same as I said before. I'm in charge of the business on the surface, and the profits will be divided according to what was agreed before. After this time, the liquor business will belong to us, and the money earned
Definitely more than before.”
"Okay, it's settled. Let's go to the so-called New Village Yuelai Hotel for dinner tomorrow and wait for the opportunity."
After the three people discussed it, they discussed the moon phase.
The Chen family also had arrangements. Mr. Chen was sitting at the table playing chess with someone with a smile on his face.
The faces of the people opposite Mr. Chen all have wisdom written on them, and their eyes exude a different light.
"It seems that these people in Xiami County have made a good plan. I don't know who among them will have the last laugh." The man opposite smiled, picked up the black piece and dropped it directly on the chessboard.
In the chess game, all the white stones are on a killing offensive, but when the black stones fall, the offense and defense can change.
Heizi instantly gained the upper hand.
Mr. Chen said: "Yes, it's quite ruthless. It's even more ruthless than when the Zhu family settled in Xiami County. Maybe Xiami County will open a new chapter this time."
"Who knows, but sir, you are going to lose this round." The person in front of him smiled.
"What if you lose one game and still have some success?" Mr. Chen didn't panic at all. He still looked like he had a chance to win. He said, "Remember to send a message to both parties tomorrow. It's better to make a big fuss. Let me see what cards they have.
.”
"clear."
Mr. Chen casually said: "I heard that the flowers are blooming in the south. Let's go and see them tomorrow."
"good."
.....
After a very long night, Jiang Yang tidied up, put on neat official uniforms, and walked towards the new countryside with his men.
And many people in many villages in Xiami County are slowly moving towards new rural areas.
It was early in the morning and the atmosphere was still very pleasant.
