Fu Song

Chapter 227 Limited Support
As the weather became colder and colder, Li Fang became more and more reluctant to go out due to the transfer on the Kuizhou Road.

After all, he was getting old, and wandered around Kuizhou Road for more than ten years. After being awarded a Jinshi, he started as a recorder and joined the army. For more than ten years, he has not left this place.He has been the highest officer of Kuizhou Road and the transfer envoy of Kuizhou Road.

Kuizhou Road has never been a safe place.

Fighting and killing have never stopped.

However, it has become more and more peaceful over the years, which is due to Li Fang's contribution.

This is what he is most proud of.

Although he was sitting in a warm room, his old cold legs still made Li Fang feel a little painful. This was the sequelae of working hard on Kuizhou Road for more than ten years.

Fang Li didn't want to go anywhere else.He just wants to stay in the position of Kuizhou Road Transit Envoy until he is seventy years old and return to his hometown.

He's used to it here.

Now even if he is given a position as a pacifier, or even allowed to enter the two mansions, he is not willing to go.

Because a new place means a new circle, and it also means that he is a lot older, and he still has to fight and fight.

It's boring!

He beat his leg hard and shook his head.

How good it is now!

The door was gently pushed open, and the secretary Chen Qun and Chen Zigong walked in.

"What's the problem?" Li Fang asked, pointing to the chair in front of him.Chen Qun is actually handling most of the affairs of the transfer envoy now, and he will only look for Li Fang when he is in trouble.

With Chen Qun's talent, there are very few things that can hinder him in the land of Kuizhou Road, so Li Fang is a little strange.

"The document from Qianzhou!" Chen Qun handed the document in his hand to Li Fang: "Li Gong, this matter is full of weirdness!"

This is a document sent by Qianzhou about the appointment and dismissal of some officials. It is stamped with the seal of Zhizhou and the seal of signing and judging.Generally speaking, such a document agreed to by the head and deputy of a state will not be made difficult, and such a low-level official, the chief of the road, can already make decisions.

Yes, in the eyes of people like Li Fang and Chen Qun, the post of joining the army in Yizhou is just some low-level officials.

After quickly reading the document, Li Fang frowned slightly.

"That's all for Chu Xiang. This man is arrogant and domineering. He acts recklessly because of his relationship with Wang Wenzheng. He will be taken down sooner or later, but this Song Jia is too unusual. As far as the officials know, this People are Ma Zhizhou's confidants!" Chen Qun was puzzled, "Ma Zhizhou, how could he watch Song Jia being taken down? This is obviously going to be against him!"

Li Fang chuckled a few times: "Zigong, why don't you understand this? This can only explain one thing. The [-]-year-old who just went to Qianzhou is a big deal. He is fighting against Ma Liang. Among them, he has won a comprehensive victory, and Ma Liang lost, completely lost!"

Chen Qun was stunned for a while, and then said: "Although the officials know that Xiao Chongwen is extraordinary, how long has it been? He has only been in Qianzhou for a few days? And how many years has Ma Liang been operating in Qianzhou? Why did you lose so badly?"

"Look at these people who are about to appear on the stage and you will know it!" Li Fang said: "Yang Quan, a child of the Yang family in Bozhou, Tian Yi, a child of the Tian family in Sizhou, one took office as Sihu in Qianzhou and joined the army, and the other He became the manager of Qianzhou and joined the army. This Xiao Chongwen colluded with these two families, and calculated with his heart and mind, how can Ma Liang be invincible?"

"Ma Liang is too confused." Chen Qun was a little annoyed: "Li Gong, this is exactly what I was worried about, so I had to come to you. Whether it is Tian or Yang, they are going to stretch their hands Leaving Sizhou and Bozhou! Their power is already strong enough, if they stretch out their hands, wouldn’t it be more difficult to control each other in the future! This Xiao Chongwen doesn’t know how deep he is, and he lured wolves into the house, he is simply extremely confused! Mr. Li, this document , I'll dismiss it."

Li Fang smiled and said, "These two candidates have been dismissed, are you going to appoint two people to go there?"

"That's exactly what I thought!" Chen Qun said.

Li Fang shook his head and said: "Believe it or not, no one dares to go. Even if someone dares to go, he may not live long."

"Xiao Chongwen was born in a famous family. How dare he do such a thing?" Chen Qun didn't quite believe it.

"He doesn't know how to do it, but it doesn't mean that the Tian family and the Yang family don't dare to do it!" Li Fang said: "It's hard to reach out, how do you think it's possible for them to shrink back? Besides, even if the person you send will be fine, They will only be erected and can't do anything. Just like Ma Liang now, it is estimated that in the future it will be a human-shaped stamp, a clay sculpture Bodhisattva."

"Li Gong, we can't just watch Tian and Yang's family expand their power! Over the years, how hard you have worked to trap them in Sizhou and Bozhou!"

"They really know how to seize the opportunity!" Li Fang smiled and said, "I hit it off with Xiao Chongwen, but Xiao Chongwen is not easy to get along with. It depends on his methods in the northwest, whether the Tian family and the Yang family can finally take over." It’s cheap to say the least!”

"After all, I'm only eighteen years old!" Chen Qun sighed.

"The party members who died at his hands in Hengshan would not think he was young, and now Li Xu, who is chased by Xiao Ding and has nowhere to go, would not think so." Li Fang said: "At the beginning Xiao Chongwen When I came to my place, I told him that I needed peace. Now he has done it, and he has seized the power of Qianzhou without making a sound, which is his ability."

"I'm afraid he will have to make troubles in the future!" Chen Qun said.

"As long as he tosses within my tolerance range, it doesn't matter!" Li Fang laughed.

"Li Gong, I'm afraid this kid will use his sword in Qianzhou! Dushan has not calmed down yet!"

Li Fang lost his composure for a while, and then said: "Zigong, there is something that I haven't told you all this time. I'm afraid those people in Dushan have something to do with Xiao Chongwen. Now it has been proved that there are some people in that group. Quite a part of it came from the Xiao family’s gate wall.”

Chen Qun was taken aback: "Mr. Xiao Chongwen hasn't come yet, but he's already done it?"

"He has already started." Li Fang nodded and said: "So now, he can't stop at all. You go to see him and tell him that no matter what he does in Qianzhou, what I want is still peace If he causes civil disturbances, then I will not recognize him as the son of so-and-so, and I will still use him to appease the anger of the people."

"Yes!"

"This document, stamped, approved!" Li Fang handed the document to Chen Qun.

Chen Qun stood up, bowed and said: "I understand, I will go to Qianzhou tomorrow, and I will also see what is going on with Ma Liang!"

"I'm afraid you won't see Ma Liang!" Li Fang waved his hand and closed his eyes.

Chen Qun walked out lightly.

With a soft pop, the fine silver charcoal exploded, and a puff of sparks flew up. Li Fang opened his eyes, only to find that the room was already lit and it was already dark.

After all, I am getting older, but I feel sleepy more and more.

There was a person sitting beside the charcoal basin, and seeing Li Fang wake up, he quickly stood up.

"Uncle!"

"Mian Zhi, you're here!" Li Fang said, "It's just a matter of time to have a meal with me tonight, haven't you eaten yet?"

"Yes!" Li Ge and Li Mianzhi smiled and said, "I just arrived in Fengjie today."

"Is this trip going well?"

"It's going well!" Li Ge said, "Who dares not give you old face?"

"I thought it would take a few days for you to come back, but I didn't expect it to be earlier. Is there something wrong?" Li Fang saw something wrong at a glance from his nephew's performance.

The Li family is a standard configuration of a typical family in the Song Dynasty. The main branch is usually a heirloom of poetry and books, focusing on officialdom, while the side branch focuses on shopping malls. The two complement each other and complement each other.One is powerful, the other is rich, and the combination of the two means power, power and money.Those who lead the branch don't need to get their hands dirty, and they don't need to scrape the people's land when they are officials. The official reputation is generally very good.People from the side branches run the shopping malls, and people from the main branch take care of them, and it is always beneficial.Most of the operating income is allocated to the main branch every year, but there is no complaint or regret.

"Uncle, before you didn't let me mix with the trade routes in Qianzhou, it was indeed too messy there, some grasshead kings had no way to do it, and business was really hard to do, so I never Pay attention to Qianzhou." Li Ge muttered.

Li Fang suddenly became interested.

Today is really evil, Chen Qun only talked about the changes in the officialdom in Qianzhou during the day, but at night, his nephew came to find him. If it was just a coincidence, Li Fang really didn't believe it.

It can only explain one thing, that is, when Xiao Chongwen was working in Qianzhou, he still had a manpower doing other things, and his nephew was also one of their targets.

"Why do you suddenly want to get involved in the affairs of Qianzhou?" Li Fangrao asked with interest.

"Someone has found my nephew!" Li Ge said calmly, "Uncle must already know about Qianzhou, right?"

"So, you understand? Then what else does Xiao Chongwen want to do?"

"My nephew doesn't know this Xiao Chongwen. The person who came to see me was a businessman. He found out that the person in charge of Qianzhou is the Xiao Zhuan you mentioned. According to him, Xiao Zhuan is going to be in Qianzhou. Sell ​​the operating rights of four caravans."

"What do you mean?" Li Fang was startled.

"That is to say, in the future, on the ground of Qianzhou, only these four large caravans will be able to carry out large-scale business. Others who want to do business can only be local households. From these four caravans Get the goods." Li Ge said. "The businessman said that among the four caravans, only one was actually sold to the outside world, and the other three had owners. One from the Tian family and one from the Yang family, so Xiao Zhuan would definitely occupy one. He I know that I will definitely not be able to get it if I go up, but if I go with my nephew, I will be sure, he will pay [-]% of the money, but only [-]% of the share."

"There are dozens of Jisuo states in Qianzhou, and every Caotou king has his own caravan. Is Xiao Chongwen going to come here?" Li Fang narrowed his eyes, "I'm afraid it's not that easy?"

"It's really not that easy, but the Yang family and the Tian family have mixed in. Others, I'm afraid they dare not object on the surface. Whoever opposes is an enemy of these families at the same time. They think they are too dead." Not fast enough?"

Li Fang chuckled: "Now that you are added, their momentum will become even stronger. How much will it cost to win such a management right?"

"[-] guan!" Li Ge said.

"How much?" Li Fang was taken aback.

"[-] yuan!" Li Ge didn't take it seriously: "Uncle, Qianzhou has millions of people and a vast territory, and if it wins the management right, it will be a monopoly if it goes on for a year. Son is back."

"Where did you find that businessman from?"

"He came from Yangzhou." Li Ge said in a low voice, "My nephew has already found out that this person is a local householder in Yangzhou, and a quite powerful businessman."

"Xiao Chongwen actually has people in Yangzhou, which is really surprising!" Li Fang sat up straight.

"Uncle is saying that this person is related to Xiao Chongwen?"

"Of course!" Li Fang glanced at his nephew: "This is Xiao Chongwen's bribery to me in a disguised form. Of course, he also intends to use my banner as a tiger skin."

"Does the uncle think I should go or not?"

"Go!" Li Fang pondered for a while: "Then Xiao Chongwen's actions are really hard to guess. I'm afraid it won't be peaceful, after you go in, carefully prick up your ears, polish your eyes, and report to me as soon as possible if you have anything to do."

"Yes, uncle!" Li Ge nodded repeatedly.

By this time, Li Fang had roughly guessed what Xiao Cheng wanted to do.This person wants to bully him with power, suppress him with force, and then find a way to break up and reorganize the Caotou kings in Qianzhou. Obviously, this Xiao Chongwen feels that there are too many mountains in Qianzhou, which is not good for him. Take control.

Isn't that what Dushan and his gang did?They have now swallowed three waters, flattened Xunzhou, and captured Nanping Prefecture. The four grass-headed kings disappeared.

As soon as these four caravans are established, those grass-headed kings who have lost their interests will inevitably rise up to oppose, but whoever stands up first will inevitably be hit hard by Xiao Chongwen. , Yang and Yang were wiped out under the attack of the joint forces.

What Xiao Cheng is looking at is probably not the profit of this monopoly, his ultimate goal is to reconnect the regions separated by these grass head kings, right?
If this is the case, Li Fang is really happy to see it succeed.

Of course, if Xiao Cheng's painting of a tiger doesn't turn into an anti-dog and messes up the matter, he wouldn't mind using Xiao Cheng's head to calm the anger of these grass-headed kings.

If the kid from the Xiao family really does this, so what if the old man keeps him a magistrate of Qianzhou?

Li Fang stroked his beard and thought, over the past ten years, why didn't he want to reform the land in Qianzhou and turn these Jisuo prefectures into the official territory of the country?
However, such and such things were entangled in one place, which prevented him from accomplishing this task. As he got older, he finally lost his ambition to make progress.
