Chapter 6 Promises are always fulfilled

"Li Chang is the most bullshit among the generals, and he is also the best among the civil servants who knows how to take advantage of the power of others. It is best for people like him to deal with Wen Yanbo. No matter who he is, as long as he joins our army, he will quickly fight with us.

When we become one, there is no possibility of being spared from the interests.

Wen Yanbo already knew how to deal with me, but he was not prepared to deal with Li Chang. I did this because I was preparing to catch Wen Yanbo by surprise. Hehe, I wanted to quickly eliminate my influence from the army. These

Human brains eaten by dogs?”

Liang Ji and Peng Jiu chuckled and nodded repeatedly. These two guys no longer planned to become officials and planned to attach themselves to the Yun family as parasites. Their family members had already been sent to the Yun family.

"Marquis Jun, what kind of courtesy do you think we will receive when we return to Beijing this time?"

Yun Zheng smiled and said: "You don't plan to be an official anymore, so why do you care about this? As long as your wife doesn't kick your family members out of the door, it will be your luck. The disciples of other families will be eager to become officials. In this way

Only the Yun family has the possibility to become a wealthy family. It would be better for you to give good instructions and stop working and go to work at home to earn a living. I really don’t know what you think."

Su Xun coldly answered from the side: "These two bastards look vulgar, but in fact they are thieves. What hope do they have in this life? If they can't become generals who can control an army, they will end.

On the contrary, their children are all good. They are all serving in the Youth Army. Not only are they literate, but they are also well-educated in military strategy. Sooner or later, they will stand out.

At this time, my parents sold themselves to the Yun family. Once their children become successful, will you, the Marquis, not carefully nurture them? In the future, I won’t be surprised if their children serve as privy councilors."

Yun Zheng laughed after hearing Su Xun's words, and said to Liang Ji and Peng Jiu: "This plan is wrong. I will go to Peach Blossom Island in the East China Sea to enjoy my life in a few years, and I have no time to worry about the future."

Su Xun sneered and said: "Your reputation will only be higher if you go to Peach Blossom Island. If you want to escape from this ten-foot-long soft red, I'm afraid it will be like a flower in the mirror and the moon in the water."

"I will raise sharks in the sea and build a maze on the island..."

Su Xun looked at Yun Zheng and said strangely: "What are you going to do? If you really want to live in seclusion, just live in seclusion in the city. Why go to a desert island? Don't you know human nature? The more mysterious you are, the more unpredictable you are.

There will be more people crossing the ocean to look for you. Sharks and mazes can’t stop them. These things can’t stop me as a scholar from the Song Dynasty.”

Yun Zheng suddenly remembered the story of Cheng Menlixue. This incident will happen in a few years...

So he approached Su Xun and smiled and said, "How about you go to the island? It would be a good idea for us to build a giant boat to see the mountain spirits and sea monsters described in the "Book of Mountains and Seas"."

Su Xun laughed loudly and said: "If we can really regain the Sixteenth Prefecture of Yanyun, I will definitely let you go."

Along the way back to Qinzhou from Qingtang, I saw countless people dragging their families towards their former homes. The panic on their faces when they fled was no longer there, but they were rushing on in a vigorous and high-spirited manner, with their children riding in oxcarts.

After sitting on the cart for a while, he would jump off the ox cart and run away after it. The woman sat on the newly made ox cart and scolded her disobedient children with a charitable look on her face. The man grabbed the bridle on the cow's head and rushed away.

When I get to Gaopo, I will help the old cow pull the cart.

Seeing this, Yun Zheng jumped down from his horse, opened the cow's mouth and looked at its teeth, and asked the men to open their food bags to check whether there was enough food. Finally, he asked these people whether they would have enough food for the coming year.

summer harvest.

"Master Jun, our Qinzhou suffered a military disaster this year. It was out of necessity. Commander Yun wanted to arrange troops in our Qinzhou to kill the barbarians. There is no way to say this. The barbarians will kill people when they come. I heard they cannibalize people. No.

Kill them all, Qinzhou's life has never been better. In the past, Qinzhou was a border gate, and we were always worried that the Tubo people would come and rob them. But now it's better. Yun Shuai defeated Qingtang and the barbarians also killed all Qinzhou.

We are no longer stuck at the border, and we finally have a safe place to eat.

There is always not enough food to eat, but it was the same in previous years, with melons and vegetables still needed to cover the food supply for half a year."

Yun Zheng stroked the soft hair on the cow's head and frowned and asked: "This is obviously a calf. Logically speaking, your family should get an adult cow."

The farmer actually smiled slyly, raised his hands and said to Yun Zheng: "There are three families with one cow. This is the court's compensation. However, some cows come with calves in their bodies. The villain asked for a calf and added another."

I exchanged some money for this half-grown calf with someone else, and my family worked hard for two years before we had an adult cow that we could use."

Yun Zheng raised his thumb to praise the farmer, and with a smile he took out a large handful of dried meat from his horse bag and gave it to several children. Seeing the children showing the dried meat to their parents, the family continued to drive the cattle.

Go forward.

Yun Zheng said coldly to an official behind the farmer: "If you dare to play this kind of trick again, I will chop off your head!"

The official took a step forward and prostrated himself on the ground, saying quickly: "Commander Rongzhen, I really put the good-looking people here so that the commander would be happy to see them."

But this is also true. The court ran out of food and gave it to beans, and there were not enough cattle. They used a lot of mules, horses and donkeys to replace them. The government has promised to make a deal with Qingtang next year in exchange for more calves to be distributed to the people.

No matter what, the dignity of the court must be maintained."

Yun Zheng sighed and said: "How can we compromise on compensation? When I evacuated Qinzhou, I promised to give them an explanation, but now it has been implemented like this. How can you make me feel at ease?"

Su Xun looked at the endless stream of people and said with a smile: "It's already good. The court said it would give a cow, but it's not bad to give a donkey in the end. I always feel that if you don't give an egg, the people are lucky. The people don't have such extravagant hopes as you."

.”

Yunzheng stopped and walked, constantly checking the people's food pockets, and no longer asked where the cattle were. As long as there were beans to satisfy his hunger, his conscience would be more stable. He was the one who issued the order to burn the fields in the first place.

, it seems that he has taken the blame.

It took two days to reach Qinzhou, but Fu Bi was not in Qinzhou. He went to live in seclusion in Maiji Mountain. It is said that he even signed a seal saying that he was injured during the battle in Qinwangchuan, and now the old injury has recurred and he needs to rest.

, I won’t be able to return to Tokyo for a while.

Yun Zheng asked Jia Kui, who was left behind in Qinzhou, strangely: "When I met the Lord of the Palace, he had a meal of ten kilograms of meat and a bucket of rice. He boasted that he was not as honest as him. Why did he suddenly fall ill now?"

Jia Kui looked sad and said: "The master was the leader of an army at that time. Even though he had old wounds, he had to endure it. Now that the war is over, his spirit has collapsed, so naturally he can't stand it any longer."

Yun Zheng clicked his mouth and tapped his head with his knuckles and said to Su Xun: "Mr. Su, why didn't I think of this move at the beginning? He was eight hundred miles away from the battlefield and couldn't lift a knife or mount a war horse.

Even a civil servant can say that his old injury has relapsed and he is delaying going to Tokyo. Am I, a warrior, more qualified to say this?"

Seeing Su Xun grinning and not answering, Yun Zheng pointed to the Pegasus flag on the roof of the Qinzhou government office and said, "Why are you pretending to be sick if you don't even clean up your hands? I don't believe it. Fu Bi dares to put himself

The army flag of our formation was planted in the government office, and then he went to Maiji Mountain dozens of miles away? If that were the case, I would rush to Maiji Mountain with a knife and hack him to death, and he would not be able to deal with it."

Fu Bi walked in from the back pavilion with his head bare and dressed in Tsing Yi and said angrily to Yun Zheng: "I said I'm sick, why are you forcing me to come out? You're inhumane!"

Yun Zheng laughed, threw his riding whip on the table, sat down in the guest seat, took a sip from his tea cup and remained silent, waiting for Fu Bi to speak.

Fu Bi laughed awkwardly and said: "There are still some unfinished matters in Qinzhou, so it's not good to rush to Beijing."

Yun Zheng rapped his knuckles on the table and said with a smile: "That's right. Millions of people in Qingtang thousands of miles away always need to be managed by officials. If I don't have good talents in my pocket, the governor's pocket will not be empty, right?

"

Fu Bi gave Yun Zheng a roll of his eyes and said, "I will naturally do my part in selecting talents for the country."

"Okay, you take the office, and I take the Trade Road Assembly, right? I don't have a monopoly on the Trade Road. As long as I'm on the Tea Horse Road and Black Rock City, you can take it away from other places."

Fu Bi thought for a while and said: "You always make decisions before taking action, and you often use commercial roads as the vanguard to explore the road. Could it be said that you have already begun to plot against Tibet and Uighur? You must know that even if a country is big and warlike, it will surely perish."

"Do you believe this bullshit?"

Fu Bi said angrily: "You are the person who despises you the most for interpreting sages' scriptures out of context. Can you tell me the whole paragraph? This is what Tian He's "Sima Fa" said: If you don't go against the times, you don't follow the people's diseases.

Therefore, we love our people; we do not cause mourning or evil, so we love our husband and his people; we do not raise armies in winter and summer, so we love our people at the same time. Although our country is big, if we like war, we will perish; although the world is safe, if we forget to fight, we will be in danger.

Now that the world is at peace, the world is under great pressure. In the spring, we will search for enemies in autumn. In the spring, the princes will revitalize their brigade, and in the autumn, they will organize their armies. Therefore, we should not forget to fight.

Although your fighting has broken through the shackles of not fighting in winter and summer, and you can turn war into a means of making money for the country, which I admire, but can you still find a precedent of making money from war? Not fighting in winter and summer is to protect the soldiers, not in Spring and Autumn.

Fighting is about cherishing the power of the people. Barbarians all know to fight after autumn when the cattle and sheep are fat. Don’t you know that?"

Yun Zheng chuckled and said: "I almost fell into your trap. If I don't talk nonsense about "Sima Law" with you, you should first tell me my opinion. Do you agree?"

"I have always despised merchants. If you touch them, you will be tainted with the smell of copper. It doesn't matter if I leave it to you. Anyway, you are covered in the smell of blood. I don't care if there are any other smells."

Yun Zheng laughed loudly and said: "You probably said this through gritted teeth, right? The one who smells is Wang Anshi who doesn't like to take a bath, not me. The merchants I have met are all clean people, and they don't have a neck."

It's crawling with lice."

Fu Bi smiled and knocked on the table and said: "We are all important ministers, so we should have some moral integrity!"

Yun Zheng sighed and said, "I'm afraid we can't suppress the fact that you escaped from Qin Wangchuan halfway."

Fu Bi gritted his teeth and said to Yun Zheng with a ferocious expression, "Let me tell you if you have any other requests!"

Yun Zheng immediately pointed his finger outside with a smile and said: "I have fulfilled the promise I made to the people in Qinzhou!"
