Chapter One Hundred Already Negotiated
"The court is willing to sell it to us?"
"It will definitely sell! No, it should be said that no one except us dares to buy it.
No one knows whether what Guo Dalun said at this time is true or false. What if the new magistrate goes and is slashed by Guo Dalun's children and grandchildren or his subordinates?
If the situation was not clear, the court did not dare to send people to Nanyun Mansion, and even more so, no one dared to pay for the prefect's position.
Besides, Nanyun is remote and can’t make money, who is willing to buy it! We are the only ones!"
Chen Ping analyzed.
Chen Dao asked: "Are you sure Guo Dalun is really giving power?"
"Of course, I got news from Nanyun Mansion. After Guo Dalun heard that Guo Yunyi was arrested by us, he locked himself in the study room for a long time, and then ordered someone to submit a statement to the court. Do you know what this means?"
"I heard that Guo Dalun's most valued son is Guo Yunyi. Now Guo Yunyi is stupid enough to run to our Shaoqing Mansion to make trouble. He doesn't even know the truth that the son of a daughter cannot sit in the hall. It must have disappointed Guo Dalun!"
"Yes, I've already found out clearly. The Guo family is the one who is most enthusiastic about calling us Shaoqing Mansion to pay attention to this.
Guo Yunyi believed that once we annexed our Shaoqing Prefecture, coupled with the troops of Nanyun Prefecture, we immediately had troops and food, we would be the most powerful force in the entire northwest. At least we could also seize the northwest and become a prince in a region.
However, Guo Yunyi's unrelenting ambition and talent show disappointed Guo Dalun.
Guo Dalun's other sons, not to mention, are all greedy people who are drunk and greedy.
Now, Guo Dalun must have been disappointed and did not think that his sons would be able to secure their position in Nanyun Mansion in the future, and simply hand over the power to the court, so as to leave a reputation as a loyal minister!"
Chen Ping's analysis made sense, which convinced Chen Dao.
As for where Chen Ping's news came from, there is no need to ask, Shaoqing's mansion must have a spy in Nanyun's mansion.
Not to mention, the Nanyun Prefecture is facing the current situation, and the people below are in a panic and find a way out. There are probably many people who defect to Shaoqing Prefecture.
It was not just Guo Yunyi who could see that if Shaoqing Prefecture and Nagao Yun Prefecture were connected together, they could become the most powerful force in the northwest. Many smart people in Nagao Yun Prefecture should also see that.
However, there were no smart people in the court, so could we see this?
Are you not afraid that Shaoqing Prefecture will annex the Namyun Prefecture and become a force that will control the separatist side?
Chen Dao is better at leading troops to fight than Chen Ping, but when it comes to understanding people's hearts, he is definitely not as good as Chen Ping.
Hearing Chen Dao’s doubts, Chen Ping sneered: “How can the imperial court care about so much now? Even if we don’t rule the northwest, can you still govern the northwest?
There are seventeen prefectures in the northwest. Now, who else will pay tribute to the court besides our Shaoqing prefecture?"
The northwest area was originally twenty-two prefectures, but there were five prefectures. During the invasion of Wuhu, the land veins were destroyed.
Under the involvement, not only the five palaces have become barren and desolate now, but the impact is still there, most of the remaining seventeen palaces have also changed suddenly and the environment has become harsh.
There are only two or three few prefectures, like Shaoqing Prefecture, which are blocked by the lonely mountain and are not affected.
However, in the early years, when Chen Jilong and others were in power, they were unwilling to submit tribute to the court.
In just two years after Chen Ping took office, he resisted the opposition and resumed paying taxes to the court.
Even if it was not enough, only half of the original amount was enough to excite the Song Dynasty court.
Chen Dao was shocked: "No wonder you had to restore the tribute to the court. Did you expect that there would be such a day?"
Chen Ping smiled and said, "Where is so powerful? I am not a god!"
However, our Shaoqing Mansion is still under the rule of the court, and paying tribute is also a duty. We can have a good reputation. The main reason is that we are not short of this little money!
Now it seems that it has worked!”
Even if the imperial court encouraged the government to pay tribute to Shaoqing Prefecture in order to reward the loyalty of Shaoqing Prefecture and encouraged the government to pay tribute, it would not be possible for Shaoqing Prefecture to refuse the request.
What's more, some people probably think that after Shaoqing Prefecture annexed the Namyun Prefecture, they would pay the taxes on Namyun Prefecture at will.
As for the consequences...
People who are about to starve to death, even though they know that there is arsenic on the buns, they can't care so much. After eating, they will talk about it, so what can they care about in the future.
After the agreement was made, he immediately sent people to the court to buy officials.
They didn't know that, at the same time, on Qingwu Mountain, Li Yizhen looked towards Zhongdi and smiled bitterly at Qingyun: "True Lord, this time, we have put all the treasures on your side!
We have such a lot of capital on Guo Fujun, but it still has no effect after all!"
Qingyun smiled and said, "Since you lose the bet, you have to find a way to stop the loss and transfer it to me. You can still keep some money, otherwise you will lose all your money!
It’s only a matter of being a big deal. You made too early at the beginning... It’s not time to go!”
Li Yizhen smiled bitterly, and this is indeed the reason.
If Guo Dalun was not really old and his descendants were not good at it, they would not have completely abandoned it.
Chen Ping and his team only thought it was a historical process and the achievements obtained from their own efforts.
But I didn’t know that the big guys behind it had already agreed!
Li Yizhen said happily: "No matter what, with the merger of Nanyun Prefecture and Shaoqing Prefecture, the entire northwest is invincible. At least one side can do it!
But I'm a little curious. Zhenjun, you have a Dragon City outside the Great Wall. So which side is the main one?"
Qingyun smiled meaningfully and said, "The human nature is the most interesting thing, just like the water. You can only take advantage of the situation, but not forcefully control it!"
Li Yizhen thought something and understood what Qing Qingyun meant, and couldn't help but smile and said, "All the great masters of the celestial immortals, use the world as the chess game. Even if we are Yuxu Mountain, we are just a piece in the chessboard."
Only Zhenjun, you, have already left two sons in the chessboard!
But, True Lord, do you know that sometimes, the more pieces the better. The so-called force gathers, and disperses the force. Eggs can be placed in two boxes, but when the power is dispersed, it will be different!"
After hearing this, Qingyun laughed: "What the True Lord said is right! But now the world is still in the stage of making arrangements. Even if you have the greatest power, you cannot use it.
It’s better to open a few more bases...well, put a few more pieces!"
The two looked at each other and smiled, and no one could convince anyone.
When they reach their current state of practice, their personal will has long been indestructible, so how can they be shaken by other people's words?
