Chapter 83: Your Excellency

Luo Ning's ambition was born, and he couldn't help but look to the east, his eyes seemed to pass through countless mountains...

I saw Jinguan City, Luoyang, and Chang'an!

Men have ambitions. How can a man stay depressed and depressed for a long time?

Nowadays, there is great chaos in Yizhou, Liangzhou. Yizhou Muhe rebels are fighting in the north of Yizhou. The Jin army is attacking Bingzhou and Jizhou.

The main force of Tibet is fighting in the west with the Muslim troops who believe in Anna.

The Nanzhao Kingdom and the separatist state became independent and started a war with the former Jiaozhou Mu of Daxia who claimed to be King Annan.

There are enemies in the three kingdoms around Xifan County, and they will not be defeated for at least ten to eight years.

Wei Zhongyi said it right. Today's Xifan County is indeed a useful place.

Xifan County stretches for more than a thousand miles, with magnificent mountains and rivers, various ethnic groups living together, and five million Xia serfs.

The Tubo royal court, which was far away in Luosu, was beyond reach, and its rule over Xifan County was always unstable.

There were many conflicts among the temples in Xifan County, between the lords, between the nobles and serfs, between various ethnic groups, and even between the Tubo armies.

If we mobilize the Xia and Qiang people to revolt, defeat the Tubo garrison, and capture the Naluo Pass in the west and the Simu Pass in the south, we can segregate the Western Fan County and stand on our own feet, and have the best of both worlds among the Three Kingdoms.

This is what Wei Zhongmei said when he was dying, "use the Western Fan as a stage" and sing a big show!

Thinking of this, Luo Ning couldn't help but laugh.

After obtaining the Yin Pearl, once the crisis was resolved, even his ambitions expanded.

The most urgent task is to tour various places in Xifan County to gain the power of will.

You Yan looked in the direction of Chang'an and said in a quiet tone: "Young Master, my lord's biggest mistake is to serve the imperial court!"

"The master's foundation was not strong back then, so he was used by the imperial court. He devoted himself to serving Daxia and the emperor, but the result was so miserable!"

"Chongzhen is mean and ungrateful, while the Confucian cultivators are pretentious. They are all heartless people!"

"Even if the young master is determined to serve the imperial court, he cannot make the same mistake as my lord. My lord may seem to be powerful, but in fact he is always a knife in the hands of the Emperor of Heaven!"

The fact that she could remind her like this shows that she did not regard Luo Ning as an outsider.

Luo Ning said: "Right now, my cultivation level is low and I have no basis. I can only take one step at a time."

"If I, Luoning, do something great in the future, I will definitely not treat you badly. What do you need from me now?"

Youyan smiled and said: "Young Master is really a quick talker. From my subordinate's point of view, it is best for Young Master to seek an official position in Xifan first. With an official position and our help, you can gain a firm foothold in Xifan.

.”

"The status of the Xia people in Xifan County is not high. They can only serve as deputies to the Tubo people. Even if they are sued, they have to rely on others."

"Except for one official position: tribal envoy!"

"After Tubo occupied Xifan, the Xia people's counties, townships, and villages were abolished and organized into eighteen tribes according to the Tubo system. One governor, three envoys, and eighteen tribal envoys were appointed to manage the Xia people."

Luo Ning asked: "Can tribe envoys use Xia people?"

You Yan nodded: "Yes! Tribe envoy is currently the only official position that allows Xia people to serve as chief officials. Although it is only the eighth rank, it can manage a tribe."

"As long as the tribal envoys pay various taxes on time, the Tubo people will not interfere much."

"The tribal envoys have little power, but the rare thing is that they have the final say in the tribe, they can be arrogant behind closed doors, and they can be a dojo in a shell."

"However, those who can serve as Xia tribe envoys are all former Xia nobles who have been demoted. Ordinary Xia people would never even think about it."

"The young master is responsible for running the position of tribal envoy. He not only needs to accept more Tibetan nobles, spend more money and resources, but also get the support of a certain temple."

Luo Ning frowned. It's no big deal to make friends with Tibetan dignitaries or spend money to send resources, but you still need the support of the temple...

He had just killed the evil monk Bao Mu, and he hated those esoteric temples.

You Yan smiled and said: "Young Master, there are no spiritual officials in Tubo, so the main way to suppress demons and ghosts is through temples. This temple is equivalent to the City God's Temple in Daxia."

"If the young master does not get the support of the temple, it is impossible to obtain a tribal envoy."

"Without official positions, there is no territory and population. Then we can only take the path of Zhensi Cult, which will take too long and be more difficult."

"If the young master reaches a high level in the future but still has no official status, he will be under surveillance. This is the same in both Daxia and Tubo. The situation will only be more difficult then."

"As long as monks without official titles reach the fifth rank, they must register with the government. Otherwise, they are plotting something evil."

What she said is true, all countries have this law. Once monks without official status reach the fifth rank, they must register and accept the supervision of the government.

You can refuse to register, but the government also has the right to arrest you.

Luo Ning was pacing back and forth, and suddenly stopped, "Which temple is the best to use among the major esoteric sects in Xifan County?"

Youyan's smile was a bit bitter: "Young master is a good man, so naturally he hates Huanxi Buddha. But my subordinates still say that it is best to get the support of Yanshi Temple."

Yanshi Temple... Luo Ningdanfeng narrowed his eyes and said in a deep voice with displeasure: "Why?"

When You Yan saw Luo Ning's expression, she couldn't help but look solemn. Although Luo Ning's cultivation level was not as high as hers, Luo Ning's face sank at this moment, and she actually felt a little scared.

My lord is right, the person who inherits her mantle must be of great importance.

The young master is so young and possesses a majesty rarely found in other young monks.

It is true that tigers are unwritten, but have the spirit of eating cows.

"Young Master Haojiao knows." You Yan considered the words, "My subordinates have thought about this matter several times. There are currently thirteen tribe envoys, and only the tribe envoy from the Naixue tribe is the most suitable."

"Because the Naixue tribe is located in Xifan Ranch, handling alfalfa that is necessary for Qianlima, and there is also a Xuangui mine..."

Luoning understood immediately.

The two major resources of war horses and armor are available to the Naixue tribe.

You Yan continued to explain: "And the Naixue tribe has a large population, at least three to four hundred thousand. It is also relatively close to our Gulu tribe, so the two tribes can support each other."

"There is no more suitable place than Nayukibe."

"It's a pity that the Naixue tribe has been designated to support Yanshi Temple. It is regarded as the agricultural and pastoral tribe of Yanshi Temple. Therefore, the candidate for this tribe must be approved by Yanshi Temple."

"Without Yanshi Temple's recommendation, Jiedushi will not appoint him."

"Young master, you don't have to worry about it. After using the Yanshi Temple, if you have the strength, you can destroy it."

Luo Ning said: "Who is the current tribe envoy of Naixue tribe?"

"It's Jin Yanshou." You Yan sneered, "This man comes from a wealthy family. After surrendering to Tibet, he became the envoy of the Naixue tribe and devoted himself to fawning over Yanshi Temple."

"He once gave his concubines and nieces to the Yanshi Temple to be their concubines."

"Not only that, he selects beautiful women from the tribe every year and presents them to the Yanshi Temple. He is shameless and has a lot of complaints in the tribe."

"As long as the young master gives an order, we will kill him."

Luo Ning nodded and said: "Then this is the Naixue tribe. I can please the Yanshi Temple on the surface, but at most I will be conciliatory and there is no way I can give a woman a favor."

You Yan said: "Young master, don't worry, it is just a stepping stone. If you want to impress Yanshi Temple, you don't have to give me a girl."

"One more thing, there are still some confidants from Lu Zhi in Xifan County who may harm our affairs. They and we have never dealt with them."

Luo Ning said: "Don't worry about this for now. I will participate in the Shoton Festival next month and perform "King Gesar". Please help me find out the information about other troupes."

Youyan's eyes lit up, "This is such a good opportunity! The Tubo people value theater actors. If the young actor shines, he will immediately attract the attention of Tibetan nobles and big temple masters."

"If we can get into the top three, it will be easier to run the tribe."

The two discussed for a long time before Luo Ning left Abba's temple.

Today's secret conversation finally determined Luo Ning's next direction.

Luo Ning left Abba Temple and was about to check Baomu Lama's storage bag when a timid voice sounded softly:

"Sir, the little girl has been waiting for you."

But not the little fox girl Bai Yuanyuan. Who is it?

Luo Ning glanced at her and couldn't help but smile knowingly: "What are you waiting for me to do?"

The little fox girl bowed her head in a decent manner, "Sir, I would like to invite you to Qianqiu Cave as a guest..."

What she actually wanted to say was that she wanted to follow the adults.

"Qianqiu Cave?" Luo Ning became interested, "Is that the cave of our fox tribe?"

The little fox girl shook her head: "No, sir, there are other demon cultivators. The cave master is Master Kong."

"You are so noble, you will definitely become a distinguished guest of Qianqiu Cave."

ps: It is planned to be launched on the 15th, but it has been postponed for half a month. I hope everyone supports it. Good night! Thank you for your support!
