Fu Song

Chapter 342 Don't Need To Look At People Anymore

Xiao Cheng, who was wearing filial piety clothes and tied a hemp rope around his waist, held a white porcelain cup in his hand, gently blowing the foam on the cup, took a sip, raised the cup to Tian Chou, and said with a smile : "Look, our Qianzhou baked it by ourselves, isn't it not bad?"

"Gao An's?" Tian Chou smiled, glanced at the cup on the table next to him, picked it up and looked at it for a while, and said, "It's really good, but..."

Xiao Cheng chuckled and waved his hands: "Brother Tian, ​​don't look at this thing with your eyes. This thing was not intended for people like you. Of course, they will produce very advanced things in the future. , but right now, we’re mainly going for volume. Let’s make a name for ourselves first.”

Tian Chou nodded and said: "Your method is good. Each region vigorously develops one of them according to its own different regional characteristics and advantages, and then depends on each other. Whoever leaves will definitely not live happily, so as to strengthen the entire region. unity?"

Xiao Cheng laughed loudly and said: "Region has both advantages and disadvantages. In addition to industry, we must develop according to local characteristics, but people, it can't be like this. Locals crowd out foreigners. Absolutely impossible. So, I let them cross-invest with each other, you have me, and I have you, one prospers, one loses and all loses."

"In this way, everyone can only support each other, and can't tear each other down!" Tian Chou said with a smile: "And we can gather limited resources to do big things, revitalize the local economy and develop local industries, Chongwen, I admire it!"

"Who made our Qianzhou poor?" Xiao Cheng said indifferently: "In the past, more than forty Jizhou prefectures operated independently and killed each other. Business was almost killed. Most people were so poor that they didn't have a second pair of trousers to wear. Only by using this method can we get out of the predicament as soon as possible. In the past two years, it can only be regarded as barely improved, Brother Tian, ​​quite a few people in Qianzhou are still poor!"

"But with you Chongwen, it won't be long before you want to come here to look new again!" Tian Chou said with emotion: "Chongwen is so young, but he is so experienced in governing the region. The key is to have a way. I learned from you. A lot."

Xiao Cheng laughed: "What way? If there is no armor of swords and guns, how can these things be pushed, how can it work? First of all, there must be sharp knives, which will kill people's heads rolling along the way, and kill everyone. , That’s why today’s everything happened. Brother Tian, ​​in the dark, I don’t know how many people want my head!”

Tian Chou shrugged: "It's mediocre not to be envied by others. In Sizhou, I don't know how many people want me to die! But I still live well, but those who want me to die have died a lot , They can only hide in the darkness and look at me with hatred eyes, but they will never dare to stand opposite me."

Xiao Cheng's face darkened, "Speaking of which, now I'm really hiding in the dark and shameful."

Tian Chou hesitated: "Chongwen, that's not what I meant."

"I know." Xiao Cheng smiled and said, "I'm expressing my feelings. Brother Tian, ​​did you come here specially this time to ask me something? Sit down and talk! It's not easy for you to come here. There are a lot of people here."

The two sat down, Tian Chou was silent and wanted to organize his words, but after pondering for a while, he finally decided to get straight to the point. The person in front of him is not someone who needs to go around in circles at all.

"Chongwen, you must have received the news. Your elder brother killed Li Dan with one victory in Shentangbao, and Li Du with two victories under Yancheng. Yeluhuan came back in embarrassment, suffered heavy losses, and experienced three battles. It can be said that your elder brother has firmly established a foothold in the northwest, what will he do next?"

"This, I really don't know!" Xiao Cheng shook his head and said: "To be honest, I am also very surprised. My elder brother's military talents are far beyond what I can compare. I am not at all in a different place. You can't do that."

"Will he establish himself as emperor?" Tian Chou whispered.

"I don't think so!" Xiao Cheng shook his head and said, "Although the Yi tribes under his command really want him to do this, but based on what I know about Big Brother, he will definitely not do it. At most..."

"What's the most?"

"Most self-proclaimed king!" Xiao Cheng said.

Tian Chou sighed, this is not the same, of course, for the court, the difference is still very big.

"Chongwen, to tell you the truth, we are all worried now, not only me, but also many people in the Chamber of Commerce. They are all worried that Changqing will become emperor himself, and it will be more troublesome." Tian Chou said: "It's really come to this point, whether it's Li Fang or Jiangnan Zhulu, I'm afraid they won't turn a blind eye like they are now."

Xiao Cheng sneered: "Brother Tian might as well tell everyone that if you want to quit, I, Xiao Chongwen, will never keep him, but it's easy to go out, but it's not so easy to come back. Of course, there is one thing , I have to say that I have no money to pay him back when I quit at this time, Brother Tian, ​​you have also seen that all the money has already been spent, and if you want to get back the money, you have to wait at least several years."

"Chongwen, don't get excited!" Tian Chou said with a smile: "Everyone is just worried, but you still believe in Chongwen. I am here this time to hear your judgment on the current situation. Next, we will prepare to do something What? What should I do if the worst happens? Tian has no intention of quitting."

Xiao Cheng stared at Tian Chou and said, "Brother Tian, ​​do you think that I have already contacted Big Brother?"

Tian Chou didn't speak, but the expression on his face confirmed Xiao Cheng's words.

"The people were sent out long ago, but they haven't come back!" Xiao Cheng shook his head: "It's very chaotic over there now, and it may be difficult to get in touch for a while. But for the future, I can say that Say it."

Tian Chou made a gesture of please.

"First of all, although my eldest brother has gained a firm foothold with three victories in a row, he can only be a corner of his life whether it is for Liao or Song. Don't want to confront Song or Liao head-on, you can only defend passively." After a pause, Xiao Cheng looked at Tian Chou and said, "But there are no powerful people in the imperial court, can't you see this? How could they give big brother Such a long time to develop with peace of mind? Therefore, it is normal to hit a dozen every one or two years."

"Consumption!" Tian Chou said.

"Exactly!" Xiao Cheng nodded and said, "After a few years, Da Song will definitely attack the Xingqing Mansion and dispatch an army of [-] to [-]. A war will last for one to two years. For eldest brother , It’s just a mustard disease, but for my elder brother, it’s a bone-shattering injury. He can’t lose in such a war. He can't bear it. In other words, he will never be able to settle down to develop the economy and people's livelihood, and can only move forward amidst such exhaustion."

"What about the Liao people? The Liao people want to conquer the Song Dynasty wholeheartedly, and this is a ready-made helper!" Tian Chou said: "Under the situation you mentioned, will your elder brother completely fall for the Liao people?"

"No!" Xiao Cheng said, "Compared to the Song people, I'm afraid my elder brother will be more on guard against the Liao people, because there is a Hengshan on the side of the Song people, but there is nothing to cover the Liao people. If the Liao people They will never give up the opportunity to swallow my elder brother in one go. Of course, if there is no such opportunity, they will let my elder brother dangle Da Song to consume Da Song's vitality. It is beneficial and harmless to them matter."

"A tripartite confrontation?"

"How can there be three pillars? Xingqing Mansion can only survive in the cracks!" Xiao Cheng sighed, "Whether it is from Song Dynasty or Liao people, they will not let Xingqing Mansion grow up."

"Do you have a solution?"

"No way!" Xiao Cheng said: "This is the general trend, and it cannot be changed by an individual."

"I know what you said!" Tian Chou said: "Actually speaking, the imperial court has nothing to do with your elder brother. And the main enemy of the Song Dynasty is still the Liao people."

"Of course, Yelujun is a formidable opponent!" Xiao Cheng shook his head and said, "The frontier army on Hebei Road no longer exists. Although Ma Xing has passed away now, if he wants to revive King Jing's ability to resist Liao The difficulty is even more difficult. Although Ma Xing is tough, he does not have the status of Prince Jing. In Hebei, can he overwhelm everyone? Once Yelujun really becomes the emperor of the Liao Kingdom, the Liao Kingdom will definitely prosper Yes, under the circumstances of one decline and another rise, the Liao people will inevitably march south. If Bianliang does not deal with it properly, it will be a catastrophe."

Tian Chou was shocked: "Do you think the president of the Liao Dynasty will drive straight in?"

"You can't tell! Hebei's experienced soldiers and horses have been wiped out this time, and this cannot be made up in a short time!" Xiao Cheng said: "If Yelujun has the ability to suppress the power struggle in the Liao Kingdom, If the differences between the North and the South can be sewn together so that the Liao Kingdom no longer suffers from internal friction but is consistent with the outside world, then Bianliang will be in great trouble. If Hebei cannot be held, Bianliang will be like a big city that has been stripped of its clothes. The girl is standing in front of the rapist."

After thinking about it carefully, Tian Chou still felt that the possibility was too low, so he couldn't help shaking his head: "Chongwen, what shall we do next?"

"In one to two years, keep a low profile and strengthen your strength!" Xiao Cheng pointed to the terraced fields on the opposite mountain from top to bottom. At this moment, the sun was shining, and the water reflected the sunlight, and the whole mountain seemed to be shining brightly. "According to our original plan, we will advance layer by layer. After two years, we will almost have the strength to march to Dali."

"Dali is also a big country!" Tian Chou said.

"It claims to be a powerful country!" Xiao Cheng snorted: "The Duan family in Dali is fighting with the Gao family, and the country is not peaceful. Two years later, in front of me, he is like a stripped naked..."

"It's worth it!" Tian Chou laughed loudly: "Chongwen, you are a Jinshi, don't speak so rudely, I know what you mean, two years later, the Qianzhou Chamber of Commerce marched into Dali and took him down in one fell swoop. But will the imperial court allow it then?"

"Is permission important?" Xiao Cheng said coldly: "If he doesn't want it, we can just find someone from the Duan family or the Gao family to sit in that seat."

"Yes!" Tian Chou nodded. "I have a reassurance from you, and I know what to do next. My brother, I have to trouble you to take care of me!"

"Tian Yi has grown up now, and has become one of my most important helpers. He is in charge of the prison, and his reputation spreads far and wide!" Xiao Cheng said. "Maybe one day he can go further and stand taller than you!"

"I hope so!" Tian Chou stood up and clasped his fists. "Thank you Chongwen for your tea. I know you can't drink now. We'll have a good drink when you're out of filial piety!"

Standing on the platform, watching Tian Chou's horse team gradually go away, and finally turned around the foot of the mountain and disappeared, Xiao Cheng then looked away, sat down again, picked up the teacup, and drank slowly Already ice cold tea.

There are many people who want to quit?
no problem!

The current self is not the self of a few years ago. What is meant by hard wings is the current self.Without butcher Zhang, would I, Xiao, still eat pigs with hair?

As for whether you believe me or not, it doesn't matter to me now.With strength that can make everyone shut up, Xiao Cheng has absolutely no need to think of ways to prove himself.

Lu Ze has been tidied up by himself, and now he has become the official governor of Qianzhou, the prefect of Qianzhou in name.

Li Xin completely controlled the Tiannan Army, Yang Wanfu controlled the Tianwu Army, and Han Kai controlled the most powerful Fan Army.

In the name of Fanjun, Xiao Cheng used it once in Hengshan. Since it was very easy to use, of course he picked it up and used it again.Anyway, there were dozens of Jumi prefectures under the jurisdiction of Qianzhou, and the name of the Fan Army was justified.

Five thousand Heavenly Martial Army, three thousand Heavenly Southern Army, five thousand Tibetan Army, plus Xiao Cheng's personal guard, [-] people in full armor on the southeast land, enough for Xiao Cheng to walk sideways.

In two years, Xiao Cheng plans to turn these [-] people into elites who can truly compete with the Guangrui Army, the big brother of the United States, and to train a reserve team of the same number. The dynasty should not be a big problem.

Li Fang, the governor of Kuizhou Road, was quite knowledgeable, and since he was knowledgeable, he couldn't treat him badly.It's a pity that I sent someone to hint several times that his son should come to Qianzhou to become an official, but he was always unwilling, probably thinking that this might be his trap, but he didn't know that he really wanted to repay him.

When Dali is won, all the officials in Qianzhou will fly into the sky. If his son doesn't come, he has given up the opportunity. Forget it, let's satisfy him financially. The old man will retire soon. Yes, I have no resistance to money.But his nephew Li Ge and Li Mianzhi is also a thing, he can give him a good support, it depends on whether this person comes or not!
