Murong Fu has been waiting for Li Yuansheng to attack him since he appeared: the so-called clay man still has a third part of the earthy nature, and he hurt his son in public, let alone a prince of a country, even an ordinary common man in Han Dynasty must find ways to do it.
Want to take revenge? This is a good opportunity now. Murong Fu's mind has started to race rapidly. How should he deal with it if there is a head-on conflict later?
However, until halfway through the banquet, Li Yuan Sheng did not mention this matter. Even when Murong Fu turned his eyes to him, Li Yuan Sheng smiled and nodded at him. Murong Fu tried to read something in his eyes that the smile was hidden.
However, no matter how you look at it, you can't see even a trace of hostility. After practicing martial arts to Murong Fu's current level, his perception has greatly exceeded that of ordinary people. Whenever the other party has a trace of negative emotions such as murderous intent and hostility,
None of them could escape Murong Fu's perception.
Is it possible that the other party's Qi nourishing skills are so good that even I can't see through them?
Thinking of this, Murong Fu couldn't help but feel his heart tremble. If that were the case, even if the other party did not reach the level of the nameless monk who swept the floor in the Shaolin Temple, he would not be far behind.
Taoism emphasizes the harmony of light and dust, and Buddhism teaches that all dharmas are empty. Buddhism and Taoism martial arts have the same goal in some aspects in terms of mind nature and realm. Just imagine, if the sweeping monk really looks like an extraordinary person,
With his appearance, he could have been quietly sweeping the place for decades under the eyes of a group of top masters in Shaolin? Absolutely impossible. The highest level of martial arts training is not like a small and hidden state in the city, living in harmony with the world.
That Murong Fu is really not evil at all, Li Yuanhao thought to himself.
On the other hand, Hu Yanlei, who was sitting next to Li Yuanhao, was very cold-hearted and kept chatting with Mo Weimei, introducing me to some important people at the banquet.
"Brother Li, he has stayed in Xiaoxia for a long time and has never attended any small gatherings. Although your Yipintang is under the control of the court, it is still unnecessary to know some important people in Xiaoxia!"
Hu Yanlei took a sip of wine and glanced at the seats across from him out of the corner of his eye. The smell of alcohol in his mouth came out from time to time as I spoke.
Li Yuanhao didn't have any dislike for that northwestern man with a heroic temperament and a fondness for drinking, but his temperament was not very similar to Xiao Feng's.
Moweilei was slightly shocked: "Brother Li also knows about Zhang Yuan?"
Mo Weimei followed Hu Yanlei's gaze and saw that this man looked about eighty years old. There was nothing outstanding about his appearance, but my bun was made according to the Chinese style.
After saying that, Hu Yanlei looked at Qizhou, thought for a while and said to Mo Weimei: "I'm hiding this from Brother Li. On weekdays, if the brothers want to earn some money to supplement their family income, it depends on the face of the salt and iron envoy. Then.
The real power of a person in Xiaoxia is greater than that of a prime minister! If brothers wanted to make a fortune between Song and Xia, the Salt and Iron Envoy would be able to offend him."
"Hahaha, bad talk!"
"What's the relationship between that man and Zhang Yuan?"
At the beginning of the founding of Xixia, Li Yuansheng issued a strict "baldness order" in order to culturally separate from the Han Dynasty in the Central Plains, stipulating that domestic women, regardless of age or tribe, must change their hairstyle within eight days.
Change to several traditional bald styles prescribed by Moweimei, otherwise they will all be beheaded. The "hair is a hair" trick played by Boar Skin in the previous life is just a trick of picking people's teeth.
However, with the death of Li Yuansheng, over the past few decades, the "bald hair order" has gradually been abolished. The reasons are also very complicated. As a tribe that has lived in Han for a long time, Dangxiang itself has lived in Han for hundreds of years.
was assimilated by the Han people. However, except for the weak military strength of the entire country of Xixia, it was completely backward in other aspects. Agreeing to Sinicization meant giving up the entire country's backwardness.
Hu Yanlei smiled slightly and acted as if there was no one around. At that time, everyone in the family was drinking and having fun, so Hu Yanlei's behavior attracted people's attention.
A simple look flashed across Hu Yanlei's face: "That's right, that Zhang Cheng's ancestor was Zhang Yuan, who was famous in the past. He once assisted Emperor Wu Lie to defeat the Song army and laid the foundation of Xiaoxia. Although Zhang Yuan had previously
I have gone into seclusion, but my descendants have been active in the military and political circles of Xiaoxia. Zhang Chenglai, whose ancestral foundation was established by his ancestors, served as an official as the head of the Zhang family of that generation. He became the salt and iron envoy of Xiaoxia at the age of eighty, which can be said to be a great figure.
Low weight, no weight for the year.”
When a certain Low Lianghe War God was in power, he once thought of conquering the northwest by blocking the border, strictly prohibiting the entry of green salt from Xixia, and killing private salt dealers once they were discovered.
This was done for several years, and the effect was very obvious - a small number of people in the northwest border of Xiao Song Dynasty were forced to flee to Xixia by low-quality salt at a low price and light military expenditures.
So Mo Weimei smiled and said, "Now please give me some advice from Brother Huyan."
In that case, it is an exaggeration for Hu Yanlei to say that the real power of the salt-and-iron warrior is as powerful as that of the prime minister.
It must be Xiao Liao. This method is very rough, "grazing the grass and valley", and it is impossible to rob it. However, Xixia is sandwiched between Xiao Liao and Xiao Song, and it is not difficult to survive. It follows the example of Xiao Liao and rashly
What's the difference between provocation and seeking death? What's more, Xiao Song Xijun is also a vegetarian!
So after experiencing several setbacks, the main war factions in the Xixia court who shouted for fighting and killing had their voices heard. As time passed, smuggling activities on the Song-Xia border became rampant.
Li Yuanhao asked tentatively?
Li Yuanhao's face condensed slightly: "My surname is Zhang?"
Mo Weimei's stiff face moved slightly: "In the Battle of Bachuankou, the 20,000 soldiers of the Song Army fell into the sand and buried their bones in the barren hills. I'm afraid someone in the sky knows about such achievements. I just thought of such a person.
The predecessor of the legendary military advisor actually gave up his military career and became a salt and iron envoy."
Hu Yanlei's words are not wrong at all: Xixia is barren, and it has been fighting against the Xiao Song Dynasty for many years, so it is short of money. To put it bluntly, Xixia's civil and military officials can be greedy if they want to. This requires some salary.
If there is no income here, we can only turn our attention to Xiao Song in the south.
Although Xixia was large, its products were said to be scarce. At most, there were only two things Xiao Song needed. One was not the low-quality pig iron traded by Li Yuanhao and Helian Tieshu, and the other was the cheap and high-quality green salt produced in the small salt lake of Xixia.
Although Xixia is a large country with few people, the military and political teams from the central to the local governments are lacking in everything. To put it wrongly, they should be copied from the Xiao Song Dynasty's civil and military team system.
, the lowest organ of the Eighth Department of Military and Finance. Zhang Cheng’s Salt and Iron Envoy is not an official of the Eighth Division.
Hu Yanlei then moved towards the seat opposite and said, "This man's name is Zhang Cheng, and he is currently the Xiaoxia Salt and Iron Envoy."
