"Feng Yu, your clan is still in Kyoto, your sister is Princess Duan, and the entire Feng family's honor was given by the Yuwen royal family. You are now standing in Xizhou City, leading the rebels to fight against the Xizhou soldiers. As the saying goes,
Drink water without forgetting the man who dug the well. You enjoy all the glory and glory, but you act as a helper to the tiger. It is simply unfaithful and unfilial!" Xizhou Zhizhou's surname was Nangong, and his given name was Heng.
After becoming a Jinshi in high school at the age of 21, he entered the Household Department and practiced for two years. His character was upright and loyal to the emperor, and he won the favor of Emperor Jianming. He was sent to Xizhou as a county magistrate and promoted to magistrate. He was promoted along the way, and Emperor Jianming sent him to Xizhou mainly for
Supervise the Xizhou Salt and Iron Department. In the early years, the Xizhou Salt and Iron Department was under the control of Zhenbei Hou. From mining and smelting to utensil casting, sales, and transportation, it was a government monopoly. Production and circulation were strictly controlled. Nangong Heng was also capable.
In the past years, he has been able to dominate Xizhou with one hand, and it was inseparable from the Su Family Trading Company to deceive his superiors and deceive others.
The official robes of the state capital are similar. The sapphire blue robe has a white pheasant pattern embroidered on the chest, and a crystal crown is worn on the head. Feng Yu asked lightly, "Is Nangong Zhizhou determined to go to war with me?"
"Miss Feng San, it's time for you to find your way back. It's not too late to make amends. The official will plead your case in front of the Holy Master to avoid your punishment." Nangong Heng raised his fists to the sky with a firm expression.
Feng Yu covered her mouth and smiled softly. The steps on her bun swayed slightly, reflecting the dazzling firelight. When the beauty smiled, she bloomed like a flower. Whether it was the soldiers or the bandits, they felt that she was like a flower blooming in the Shura field.
Flowers, dazzling.
"Which road have I lost? Should I go back? Don't bother!" Feng Yu raised her hand and asked softly, "Nangong Zhizhou, do you want to talk to me or start a war with me?"
Nangong Heng, "Stubborn and ineffective..."
"one!"
Feng Yu interrupted him with a smile, "I'll count to three, anyone who stops me will die!"
Nangong Heng was shocked. Xie Xun sent more than 10,000 bandits to settle in Xizhou, which brought huge trouble to Xizhou, which was strictly controlled by the state government. This group of bandits had no one to control them, and they came to the city to make their home.
This city could accommodate 800,000 people at its peak. Although it has been abandoned for several years, most of the houses are intact, and there are wastelands and empty houses everywhere.
After the bandits set up camp, they had to find ways to satisfy their hunger. Before the discovery of iron ore, Xizhou focused on agriculture, mulberry, and animal husbandry. The inner city and outer city were very busy. Later, iron ore was discovered, and huge profits from the mining industry were discovered. I don’t know when.
The trend of all-round iron ore mining and smelting has arisen, and more than half of the residents have devoted themselves to mining and buying and selling.
Later, the Marquis of Zhenbei sent troops to suppress, collect the minerals, and centralize operations. There was a fierce conflict between the people and the state capital. Later, the Xizhou Iron Mine was jointly occupied by the state capital, merchants, and bandits. The city residents could not get any dividends, and they were again captured by the bandits.
Continuous harassment and serious population loss. Because the people in Xizhou are fierce and there are very few traders, they are afraid of causing trouble and avoid Xizhou. Except for the iron ore, almost all trade routes are cut off, and Xizhou City gradually becomes deserted.
After the state government realized the seriousness of the problem, it was unable to remedy the situation.
"Two!" Feng Yu's patience was gradually losing. As long as she gave the order, the cavalry could break through the blockade formed by Xizhou soldiers.
Xie Xun sent more than 10,000 people to Xizhou. Nangong Heng wanted to resettle these bandits and let them live and work in Xizhou. At first, they opened granaries. However, the bandits were fierce and there were tens of thousands of local citizens. It turned out that they were also
The bandits were all brave and fierce people, and conflicts were frequent. Nangong Heng was forced to close the granary under pressure.
The newly arrived bandits started to make trouble. On the advice of his staff, he organized the soldiers to fight. Who knew that Feng Yu would come to Xizhou at night, and the two armies faced off. If he was weaker, Feng Yu would be stronger. He took advantage of the orthodoxy.
Zhongyi originally wanted to give Feng Yu a show of strength. But this third girl, Feng Yu, looked weak and easy to bully, but she had a strong and domineering temperament.
Zhu Shengliang was nailed to a pillar as a judge of the Salt and Iron Division. She didn't care whether the iron cavalry crushed the soldiers of Xizhou Prefecture.
"Three!" Feng Yu's patience was exhausted and she tried to wave.
The staff member seemed to whisper something in Nangong Heng's ear, and Nangong Heng said loudly, "Miss Feng San, let's talk. A river of blood is not the ending we want."
"OK!"
The official residence of the magistrate.
Chen Jiangdong led people to resettle the rebellious people and ordered them to stay in their homes and not to cause trouble. Both those who were causing trouble and those who were watching the excitement on the long street were ordered to go home.
Feng Yu bluntly stated her purpose of coming. She wanted to restore mulberry farming and planting in Xizhou, and implement the new policy formulated by Ningzhou throughout Xizhou, bringing all the world into her hands, unified planting, production, transportation, and distribution according to work. Thank you
Jue still needs to buy the land from the Ningzhou clan, but Xizhou does not need it.
Xizhou is full of barren fields and mountains, and some fertile land has been occupied and planted by the government. Feng Yu wants to re-register and distribute the land, and re-establish commerce between Xizhou and the various states.
"You are a bandit!" Nangong Heng was furious. Feng Yu was so ambitious that she wanted to replace him and control the entire Xizhou. It was absolutely impossible. "The Xizhou soldiers and I will definitely fight to the end!"
Feng Yu had the army in her hands and had the right to speak. She asked unhurriedly, "What do you want?"
"Xizhou originally has the largest agricultural land in the twelve states. I have no objection to you preparing food and grass for the Ningzhou cavalry and reclaiming wasteland. But the Salt and Iron Bureau belongs to Yanyang, and the production and transportation of minerals are under the control of the state government. You can't
Intervene. I can take a step back, you take care of your farming and animal husbandry, I take care of the iron ore smelting and transportation, and we don't interfere with each other."
Feng Yu raised her eyebrows, "Nangong Zhizhou is really... innocent and interesting. Do you want to have one city, two systems with me? I will take care of the new bandits, and you will take care of the iron mines. Do you want to draw a clear line in the city so that we don't interfere with each other? You do it
If you buy my rice, do you still have to pay taxes?"
Nangong Zhizhou's face turned red. He didn't know whether he was ashamed because he was laughed at, or he was angry because his thoughts were seen through.
"The food for the twelve states is supplied by Jinzhou, so the city cannot be self-sufficient. I lead people to open up wasteland, which is also convenient for you. You can feed everyone in the city, but you can't make huge profits from the iron mines and not interfere with each other?" Feng Yu sneered, "Isn't it true that you know the state?
Forgot, in addition to Xie Jue and Xie Xun to manage Xizhou, I am also the owner of the Su family trading house, and I own half of the minerals in Xizhou, what do you want to do with me, one city, two systems?"
"The Su Family Trading Company has not been in charge of the iron mines in Xizhou for many years. Do you know what the iron mines are like now and who is in control of them? Do you want to kill tens of thousands of people in the city and are you not afraid that the world will call you a tyrant?"
"The Su family business is my family business. I will only clean up the house. What I am telling you now is the jurisdiction and management plan in Xizhou City." Feng Yu said forcefully, "There is no room for two tigers in one mountain, and there is no room for two masters in one city. Xizhou listens
I am ordering, this is not a discussion with you, you are more familiar with Xizhou City than I am, and I hope Nangong Zhizhou can work with me to govern Xizhou."
"Nangong Heng is deeply favored by the Holy Spirit. He has worked hard to govern Xizhou for many years and is hands-on in everything. He only recognizes the Yuwen royal family and will never live up to the sacred mandate, betray the old master and switch to others." Nangong Heng expressed his position loudly.
"You work hard and do everything by yourself!" Feng Yu mocked, "But under your governance, Xizhou has gradually become deserted, and its former prosperity has faded away. I guess you are not suitable for the position of governor of Xizhou, so it is time to move."
"Except for the Holy Order, no one can remove me from my position. Do you want to overstep my authority? You are just a rebellious official and traitor in Yanyang, and you are not qualified to remove me from my position."
Feng Yu said funnyly, "Either you cooperate with me in managing Xizhou, or you take off your official robe and return to the capital. Yu Wenjing might even praise you for your loyalty to the emperor. Nangong Zhizhou, there is no third way for you!"
"Who said no!" Nangong Heng suddenly drew his sword, placed it across his neck, and glared angrily, "I, Nangong Heng, will never be coerced by you. Today, I will splatter three feet with blood to resist tyranny. Your Majesty, I am loyal!"
The staff tried to stop him one after another, but Nangong Heng wanted to die.
He made a horizontal move with the long sword, and the thin blade just cut through the skin. Nuanyang Xiu's arrow grazed his wrist. Nangong Heng felt pain. The long sword fell to the ground, and blood beads appeared on the cut skin, but it was not fatal.
"you……"
Feng Yu didn't understand this kind of loyalty, but she admired it.
She lightly moved her long fingers on her temples and asked casually, "Master Nangong is thirty this year and has a wife, two concubines, three sons and four daughters. Is Gao Tangjian alive?"
"What are you going to do?" Nangong Heng was shocked.
"I like reunions. I can't bear the loneliness of Mr. Nangong. If you die, I will definitely send your family to reunite with you, in harmony and beauty."
"Vicious woman!" Nangong Heng yelled, "You are a poisonous woman, you won't even spare the old, weak, women and children, you will be struck by lightning!"
"It doesn't matter what happens after death. It doesn't matter if I'm cut into pieces by five horses or struck by lightning, you won't be able to see me." Feng Yu asked kindly, "Master Nangong, are you still seeking death?"
