Chapter 874 The people of Daliao are also human beings
Xiong Wu introduced to Feng Jiuxiao that there are three direct routes to Lingxiao City, which can be divided into three routes: far, middle and near.
The far route passes through two big cities and two small cities, the near one passes through a big city and a small city, and only the middle one passes through only one small town, which is considered the best route.
Of course, he knew that Feng Jiuxiao meant that it was best not to pass through the town, but there was no way around the town.
When he finished speaking, Miss Yan started to find fault, "What do you mean there is no way to go? There is no way in this world. If there are more people walking, there will be a way! Since Mr. Feng doesn't want to alarm the people, you should find it.
A better route would be to avoid that town!”
Xiong Wuxin said: I am no longer a member of your Yan family. Why are you still there complaining to me? He wants to scold him back because he has no fighting skills!
But he thought again, if he retaliates on the spot, he will appear to be too heartless and uncultured! After all, he is also a peak master of the Nine Realms! He suppressed his anger and said calmly: "If you want to go around, you have to go through the mountains.
In the old forest, the roads are difficult to walk and it is easy to get lost. If you are not careful, you may encounter a hunter's trap. Even if a person can pass through it, a horse cannot pass through it. Or we must go through the cliffs and dangerous shoals. We can't always climb mountains and wade, right? We can ride horses and climb up the cliffs.
This kind of thing is unheard of down here, and it’s hard to imagine how to get there. Even if you can get there, walking this way will cover several times the distance, which is time-consuming and laborious. When you get to Lingxiao City, let alone fighting with others, it will be good if you can still stand there without getting tired and get down.
Got it!"
Miss Yan snorted coldly, "Shout! You're still not convinced when I say you're stupid! You have a new master, so your back is hard, right?"
Xiong Wu knew that there was no benefit in arguing with her at this time, so he simply shut up and said nothing.
Feng Jiuxiao said: "Then take the middle road and try to pass through the town at night, so as to avoid disturbing the people as much as possible." The implication is to disturb as little as possible, but it doesn't matter if a few are disturbed! You can't
He canceled his entire plan because he was afraid of scaring a few people!
Set off!
More than a dozen tall horses walked in front, followed by a huge, colorful tiger. The entire team marched through the mountain pass toward the northeast.
As we walked, the dark clouds gathered in the sky again, and the scattered snowflakes began to fall down again at some point, gradually getting bigger.
Maybe this road is really remote, maybe it’s because of the snow, but I didn’t meet any pedestrians after walking for a long time.
Feng Jiuxiao sighed with emotion, "Liaodong is a vast land with few people. It stands to reason that the land is vast and rich in resources and special products. As long as it is managed well, it should not be much worse than the Central Plains."
Xiong Wu said with a smile: "Young master, you are joking. Liaodong is a quiet corner and is mostly a bitter cold land with blocked traffic and backward farming. How can it compare with the Central Plains? There is paradise above and Suzhou and Hangzhou below. The Central Plains has four distinct seasons and farming has two harvests a year.
There are even three harvests, while Liaodong has one harvest a year, and the winter is particularly long, with cat winters occurring for up to half a year, while people in the Central Plains can make a living all year round, which is far different!"
Feng Jiuxiao said: "What you said makes sense. A long winter does affect food cultivation. The yield of the same acre of land is at least half that of the Central Plains. Day after day, year after year, the gap is getting wider and wider.
big!"
Xiong Wudao: "So the Liao Emperor never forgot to march into the Central Plains, especially now that the Sixteenth State of Yanyun is in the Liao territory, the wealth it has brought to the Liao Kingdom is quite astonishing, and it is even more obvious when compared with Liaodong, which further prompted the Liao Emperor to annex
The determination of the Central Plains!"
Feng Jiuxiao asked: "What wishes or ambitions does Yan Lingxiao have?"
Xiong Wudao: "He doesn't really have the heart to be an emperor, but he has a hidden disease that he always wants to cure!"
Feng Jiuxiao said: "I know, is he married but has no children?"
Xiong Wu's eyes flashed, "Not bad!" He didn't expect Feng Jiuxiao to know such a thing!
Feng Jiuxiao said: "If he can't cure himself, won't he ask a famous doctor for help?"
Xiong Wudao: "He definitely doesn't want outsiders to know about this disease."
Feng Jiuxiao said: "Haha, people in this world are really weird sometimes. They really want to save face and suffer. I believe that this little thing is not a big deal to the Cheng family. After all, they are a medical family. Together with the Gongsun family, they are known as the best in the north and the south. The Cheng family
If I take action, his illness will most likely be cured."
Xiong Wudao: "The Yan family and the Cheng family are now like fire and water. How could Mr. Yan go to the Cheng family? And the family scandal must not be made public. Even if he goes to the Cheng family and the Cheng family agrees to the diagnosis and treatment, he will still worry about the Cheng family leaking it in the end.
His secret!"
There are three kinds of unfilial piety, the greatest is not having children!
Yan Lingxiao is unfilial to her parents!
A man cannot easily say that he is not good at it, but in fact he is not good at it!
He is incompetent to his wife!
So it’s hard to imagine that he can hold his head high in the eyes of these people!
"What's going on with Mr. Xiong now?"
"Master Xiong just passed away last year! Mrs. Xiong passed away the year before last."
Miss Yan suddenly said angrily: "Why are you asking about my parents?"
Feng Jiuxiao replied seriously: "Only by knowing yourself and the enemy can you win the battle!"
Miss Yan said: "You are just a pervert and willing to inquire about other people's privacy."
Feng Jiuxiao said: "Okay, it's up to you!" He then asked some questions about the defense of Lingxiao City.
Xiong Wu naturally told everything he knew. Miss Yan snorted coldly: "Traitor!"
Wu Xiong pretended not to hear and only communicated with Feng Jiuxiao. He knew that everything would be easy to talk about as long as he hugged Feng Jiuxiao's thigh! As for others, who would dare to say anything if Feng Jiuxiao didn't speak?
Unknowingly, the sky was getting very cloudy, and the snow was falling harder and harder. It gradually turned into heavy snow, and the snow on the ground became thicker and thicker.
"More than a dozen miles further you'll find Hongshilizi Town!" Xiong Wudao said.
Feng Jiuxiao asked: "Are there many people in Hongshilizi Town?"
Xiong Wudao: "Not many, less than two thousand households."
Feng Jiuxiao frowned, "Less than two thousand households are not many? This is a lot of people!"
Xiong Wu pointed at the heavy snowflakes flying in the sky, "Sir, no one goes out in this weather, so it's a good idea not to go through Hongshi Town at this time!"
Feng Jiuxiao thought about it. No matter how many people there are, as long as the cats are at home, there will be no one on the road. He asked Xiong Wu: "Are there people from Lingxiao City in Hongshi Town?"
Xiong Wudao: "Yes!"
Feng Jiuxiao said: "What is there in this kind of small town that deserves Master Yan to send people to keep an eye on it?" Now that we have gone deep into the hinterland of Liaodong, we naturally want to find out as much as possible about the situation here. Maybe we can find out more about the situation when the two countries fight in the future.
Come in handy!
Xiong Wudao: "The main forest here is rich in wood, including Korean pine, larch, oak, linden, ash willow, yellow pineapple, walnut catalpa, poplar, yellow pine, white bark, white birch, white tangerine, and flower elm.
, barracuda, willow, etc. The understory is also rich in moss, bracken and other wild plants, including magamus, lespedeza, hazelnut, azalea, thorn rose and hundreds more. The main industry of Lingxiao City here is sales.
As for wood and moss, Mr. Bracken Yan doesn't like it, so he lets the local people pick it as they please. But the person in charge here, Lao Liu Ke, is a little greedy for money and actually asks the people to charge mountain entry fees."
"Entry fee?"
"The top of the mountain has been taken over by Mr. Yan, so it belongs to Mr. Yan. Outsiders are naturally not allowed to go up the mountain anymore, so the local people, especially the Jurchens and the Koreans, went to the government to make trouble, saying that their ancestors had been going up the mountain here since the Tang Dynasty.
We were digging for wild vegetables, so how come this hilltop suddenly became your surname Yan? Besides, even if the country changes hands, the hilltop should be surnamed Yelu, not Yan!"
"and after?"
"Later on, the officials will definitely have to discuss it with Lao Liu. Lao Liu is probably afraid of making the matter bigger, so the matter will be left alone."
"Even the common people are trying to make money by digging wild vegetables, so how about the lumber business?"
Xiong Wudao: "That's for sure."
Miss Yan said angrily: "How dare this old Liu embezzle money from my Yan family?"
Feng Jiuxiao said: "It seems that Old Liu finally understands the importance. If he has to care about those few small coins, it will definitely arouse public anger. If something goes wrong, there will be a popular uprising. He will not be able to bear this responsibility!"
Xiong Wuyi was startled, "So that's it. I thought Old Liu stopped because of Mr. Guan's face."
Feng Jiuxiao sneered and said: "How much face can the official have? You, Mr. Yan, are the people who are listened to by Heaven. You are a big shot who can speak directly to the emperor and the empress. How can he have an official as big as a sesame seed in his eyes?"
He looked forward, expressionless, "After getting rid of Lingxiao City, the Daliao royal family owes me another favor!"
He looked back at Xiong Wu and asked: "Should I encourage Lingxiao City to grow as big as possible? In this case, wouldn't it be good for Lingxiao City to turn Daliao upside down?"
Xiong Wu chuckled and said: "Young master is a chivalrous man and should be compassionate to others. If you do this, wouldn't the whole Liao world become rivers of blood and corpses litter the fields? The people of Daliao are human beings too!"
Feng Jiuxiao's eyes suddenly shone brightly! He stared at Xiong Wu without saying a word. Xiong Wu was so frightened that a chill ran down his spine!
Unexpectedly, Feng Jiuxiao raised her thumb, "I didn't expect you to be at such a high level! Well said! The people of Daliao are human beings too!"
