The Tubo people came in a hurry and left in a hurry. Well, they were sent away in a wave by the Tang army. During the dozens of miles long battle, prisoners of the Tubo army could be seen everywhere, and many of them even wore
The little Tibetan noble in chain armor
The Tubo people, who are good at fighting big and vicious battles, did not expect that the Tang army would completely annihilate the Tibetan army that invaded Dadou Bago without using the Chishui Army. This completely destroyed the Tibetan intelligence and early intelligence in Liangzhou City.
Didn't play its due role.
But these have little to do with Fang Chongyong. At this moment, he is sleeping in a courtyard arranged by Wang Zhongsi in Liangzhou City. No matter whether he is in chaos or war drums outside, it does not affect him at all to relax his mind and body.
Since arriving in Liangzhou, I have been under tension and high pressure. First, there was the fish charm incident of Bai Tingjun, and then Cui Xiyi invited Feng Yan to meet with the Tubo people to attack the valley at night. These chores came endlessly, and they
Fang Chongyong was exhausted mentally and physically.
"Mr. Lang, Cui Jieshuai sent someone here and said that he wanted to invite Mr. Lang to Jiedu Mansion to discuss important matters."
Fang Dafu whispered in Fang Chongyong's ear. This "little prodigy" who had woken up was now reading the "Arms Manual" about the Tibetan army left by Niu Xianke. The more he read, the more solemn his expression became.
"I know, I'll go right away."
Fang Chongyong sighed. He knew very well that Cui Xiyi had to give him face, even though he didn't want to go at all.
The courtyard they lived in was very close to Hexi Jiedu Mansion in the center of Liangzhou City. After Fang Chongyong was introduced, he was surprised to find that in the study room of Jiedushi, the core of Jiedu Mansion, in addition to Cui Xiyi, there were also
There was a young general wearing armor.
Other than that, no one is meeting here.
According to Fang Chongyong's assumption, all the major generals in the Hexi region should have gathered in the Hexi Jiedu Mansion for a meeting to discuss how to deal with the Tibetan army. But now it seems that this is not the case.
"Fang Xiaolangjun is here. Sit here and sit here. I will introduce you to a local hero."
As soon as he saw Fang Chongyong walking in, Cui Xiyi immediately invited him to come and sit down with a very warm attitude.
Perhaps Cui Xiyi's attitude was too enthusiastic, which made Fang Chongyong a little confused. Pretending to be nonchalant, he walked over and sat down, and bowed politely to the young general with crossed arms, waiting for Cui Xiyi's next words.
"The horse bandits that Fang Langjun encountered before, alas, were actually caused by the black sheep in our Hexi Army."
Cui Xiyi said sadly, if Fang Chongyong hadn't given him advice and dealt with this matter, it would really make people think that the Hexi Jiedushi didn't know anything.
It looks so pure that it’s scary!
"So, those people are the general's subordinates?"
Fang Chongyong asked thoughtfully.
"Yes, Xin Yunjing of the Baiting Army has a strong family background and is rigorous in running the army.
However, some people under his command plundered horses in order to keep them privately.
Originally, these people should be beheaded according to military law as a warning to others. But the matter is very important. Those people should definitely be dealt with, but it is not suitable to publicize it, so as not to cause the bad impact of our Datang border troops killing innocent people indiscriminately.
How does Fang Canjun think this matter should be resolved?"
The previous title was still "Lang Jun", but now it has become "joining the army". Cui Xiyi, the governor of Hexi Province, spoke perfectly without any flaws. Fang Chongyong was amazed when he heard this.
"Cui Jieshuai can handle this matter on his own without worrying about what I think. Hexi has limited powers and responsibilities, and has no power to interfere in such important matters. Cui Jieshuai can no longer mention these matters to me in the future.
"
Fang Chongyong said haha casually.
He noticed that Xin Yunjing seemed to be relieved, and he suddenly understood and guessed what had happened before.
Xin Yunjing must have given in to Cui Xiyi!
Does Fang Chongyong have no authority to interfere in such matters?
On the contrary, Fang Chongyong's position of joining the army in the state government not only has the power to deal with such troubles, but there are even more than one specific case in history!
In other words, the seemingly useless state government not only took care of the chaos in the military administration where the state capital was located, but it was also recorded in history books, which shows that it had a significant impact at the time.
So to a certain extent, Cui Xiyi's invitation for Fang Chongyong to come over for questioning is not only unnecessary, but can also be said to be the most critical step in "following the procedure."
Of course, Fang Chongyong had just arrived in Liangzhou and spent the whole night in the cold wind on the hills in embarrassment, not even daring to light a bonfire. This tone must be blamed on the culprit.
If he can't say this, Fang Chongyong feels uncomfortable, and Xin Yunjing will also be worried, worried that one day he will be settled by someone, and Cui Xiyi will also feel that his face is disgraceful. So today's meeting is not so much that Cui Xiyi called Fang Chongyong to question.
I want to be a "peacemaker" and eliminate the bad impact of this incident.
Cui Xiyi thinks that this matter can be settled here. If Xin Yungjing is willing to give in and come to Hexi Jiedu Mansion to write an "application" to get the fish charm back, Cui Xiyi will also accept the other party's submission, turn over this page, and then give Fang Chongyong another one.
Just explain it.
Of course, this problem should be easy to solve. As long as Fang Chongyong can turn his head around, he will know that the benefits of compromise on this matter are far better than continuing to push the bull.
After all, Fang Chongyong doesn’t have any deep grudge against Bai Tingjun. He just blew the cold wind all night in vain. If he has to fight Bai Tingjun and Xin Yunjing until death, then... I can only say that even if his father is Li Longji, I guess
It can't be covered either.
I have never heard that an arrogant person who will kill his enemy for a small grudge can go very far.
Sure enough, Cui Xiyi just mentioned it, and Fang Chongyong readily agreed without any further entanglement. This made both Cui Xiyi and Xin Yunjing look at him high.
"Fang joins the army. This matter was done by the deputy commander of the Baiting Army. I have imprisoned him and am ready to deal with him according to military law at any time. I will announce to the outside world that he fell from his horse and died.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! As for the fifty people who participated in the robbery, Cui Jieshuai will find a few random reasons to dispatch them to the Big Dou.
The front line of the army was added to the most severely damaged part of the army in the great battle, in order to avenge the crime and meritorious service.
What does Fang Canjun think of this arrangement?"
Xin Yunjing asked humbly, crossing his hands and saluting.
If something goes wrong, even if there are no serious consequences, someone has to take the blame. The deputy envoy of the Baiting Army who lost the fish charm is the best candidate. The Baiting Army is different from the Da Dou Army. It is called Defense against Turks, but
The Turks are now in decline and there is no way they can cause trouble to the Tang Dynasty.
Therefore, the Bai Dinh Army is actually considered a second-line force and does not participate in daily battles.
It would be fine if we didn't fight, but something happened this time. Even if Fang Chongyong didn't pursue the case, Xin Yunjing would have to cut off his wrists and deal with those people as a warning to Cui Xiyi!
This is what it should be.
What makes people feel ridiculous is that Xin Yunjing is giving Cui Xiyi a "letter of surrender" and apologizing to Fang Chongyong.
But Cui Xiyi was only punished by the complacent Xin Yunjing, and Fang Chongyong only spent a night blowing the cold wind on the hillside. For them, there was not much loss.
Xin Yunjing had to bow his head to them and admit his mistake because it was an official rule, and especially because Cui Xiyi was the military governor and Fang Chongyong had a strong background!
It's not because these two people occupy the so-called "reason".
If we really want to talk about "reason", don't the dozens of Tianzhu monks who were innocently killed have some reason?
Don’t those Turkic merchants responsible for selling stolen goods have their reasons?
But who is willing to listen to what they say? Don't say these people are dead. Even if they are still alive, I'm afraid they are very quiet and no one cares about what they say.
Right and wrong are related to strength, justice is not in the heart of the people, and it couldn't be more clear at this moment.
As a member of the "ruling group", Fang Chongyong found that as long as he followed internal rules, he could easily do things that he could not even think of before.
Twenty years of hard work may not compare to these five words: "My father is virtuous."
At this moment, Fang Chongyong felt an indescribable sense of absurdity.
That is a cruel reality.
"Nowadays, the Baiting Army is short of a deputy military envoy. Baitinghai has beautiful scenery and is suitable for self-cultivation. Why don't Mr. Fang Xiaolang take advantage of the opportunity of serving as the deputy military envoy to practice some training at Baiting Fort?
The army of the Tang Dynasty is about to go on an expedition, and our Tang Dynasty border army will have a fierce battle with the Tibetan army. I am afraid that not only Liangzhou City, but also Chiwu Town will have no peace.
Your father-in-law will also be the first batch of troops to move south from Dadou Valley this time, so he may not have time to take care of you.
So, do you have any thoughts on taking over as deputy military envoy of Baiting Army?"
Cui Xiyi pushed the copper fish charm to Fang Chongyong.
To untie the bell, the person who tied the bell had to be sent. Let Fang Chongyong go to the Baiting Army, which just untied the previous knot. The Baiting Army did not have to worry about being worn out by the Hexi Jiedu Envoy. Everyone was happy!
More importantly, the Baiting Army is the only regular frontier army in Liangzhou that has determined that it will not participate in the war against Tibet! It is located near the Baiting Sea in the northeast of Liangzhou. It has beautiful scenery and few good things, so it is suitable for a vacation! It is also suitable for vacation.
Protect Fang Chongyong’s safety!
Is there any better place than here?
Moreover, the military envoys of the Baiting Army are no better than those of the Chishui Army and the Da Dou Army, which are larger or even extraordinarily large armies. For the deputy military envoys in those places, not to mention that Cui Xiyi would not recommend Fang Chongyong to be the deputy military envoy. Even if he recommended it, he would be punished.
To the unanimous resistance of the frontier troops where they are located!
Who dares to entrust their wealth and life to a half-grown child, or a half-grown child who comes from the imperial court?
But the Baiting Army is different. It is called an "army", but its actual strength is smaller than that of a defender. There is no war or foreign enemies, so training is relatively lax on weekdays.
It is true that the Turks are a behemoth, but they cannot rise in a day or even a year. There is a trend in the changes of the Turks, at least we have not seen this trend now, so the "solidity" of Baiting Fort is not similar to that of "Ma
It seems like a "line of defense" exists, but there is really no danger.
This Fang Yanei came to Hexi with a gold plate. Although Cui Xiyi was amazed by Fang Chongyong's idea and had no hostility or defense against him, he was still afraid of tormenting him to death!
He was about to go south to Qinghai Lake to fight the Tubo people, so he couldn't care about Fang Yanei. He might as well leave it to Xin Yunjing and let him help "take care of the child."
Now Cui Xiyi and Xin Yunjing were looking at Fang Chongyong eagerly, looking at the fish charm on the table, waiting for his answer.
…
The Hanjiacang Ferry in Luoyang was once one of the busiest ferries in the Tang Dynasty, second only to Yangzhou in the south of the Yangtze River. Every day, many water ships unloaded goods here, transporting bags after bags of grain to Hanjiacang for storage.
, even sold in Luoyang market.
This situation lasted for many years.
However, since Pei Yaoqing changed the course of the canal and adopted the segmented transportation method to transport grain and grass, the section of the waterway from Biankou to Luoyang was abandoned.
After all, this journey is purely a "waste" of money.
So the Hanjiacang Ferry was completely empty, just like a bird in Hanjiacang.
Not to mention a day, not even a month saw a few decent watercraft passing by. Luoyang's economy began to gradually decline. On the contrary, due to the hoarding of grain in Heyin warehouse, Biankou, a key node involved in waterway cargo transshipment,
, and it became increasingly prosperous.
In fact, to put it bluntly, how much grain and grass can be consumed in Luoyang? Many of the waterships that passed by in the past served Guanzhong.
Chang'an was the core of the empire. The merchant ships and watercrafts that traveled from various places would not have much potential if they did not go to Chang'an. Going to Chang'an, becoming a high official, and making a lot of money was the dream of every "Northern drifter".
At this moment, Zheng Shuqing was putting his hands behind his back, watching attentively one canal ship after another unloading cargo, just like the scene when Pei Yaoqing had not yet reformed water transport, and he couldn't help but smile contemptuously at the corner of his mouth.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "A piece of flying money is so terrifying. Hanjiacang prospered again because of it, and Heyincang declined because of it."
He couldn't help sighing and sighing.
Fang Chongyong's method was indeed a good one. Zheng Shuqing slightly updated the details without changing the general outline, and then handed it over to Li Linfu for review. The latter accepted almost all of it, but only put forward his own opinions in some small places.
It has been three months since the implementation of the new regulations, and the trend of grain imports and exports including Jiacang has begun to reverse. In the past, there was almost a one-sided decline. Now, the proportion of grain entering warehouses has begun to gradually increase, and now it has exceeded the 30% warning line.
This does not include that Hanjiacang has been transporting grain to Hexi, and allocating grain and grass every day to support the war in Hexi!
"The next stop should be the Minister of the Ministry of Finance."
When there was no one around, Zheng Shuqing said to himself. When he reaches the Sixth Book of Ministers, he is only one step away from becoming the prime minister. The only question is, when will he become the prime minister, and what important tasks will he be entrusted with!
While Zheng Shuqing was thinking about it, a eunuch in palace uniform walked up to Zheng Shuqing and said, "Master Zheng, please put aside what you are doing for a while and follow me into the palace to meet the emperor."
Entering the palace? Meeting the saint?
Hearing this, Zheng Shuqing had a strange look on his face. He didn't understand. If the central government came to him for something, it would be Li Linfu who came forward. Why would Li Longji ask him to talk to him?
It's really hard to understand.
Although he didn't know what Li Longji wanted to do, Zheng Shuqing knew very well that it was absolutely impossible not to go, and this Chang'an saint had a particularly bad temper.
You may not be able to remember your devotion to him.
You neglected your duties and took his words as a joke. This guy remembers it clearly and will kill people if he has the chance!
"I'll leave now."
Zheng Shuqing nodded slightly and said, feeling uneasy in his heart.
