Fu Song

Chapter 385

As the pacifier of Guangnan West Road, Tao Hongyuan has stayed in this position for eight full years.In the eyes of many people in the capital, Guangnan is not a good place, and it is far worse than the north.Therefore, officials who have committed crimes always regard Guangnan as a distribution place.But only if you really stay here for a long time, you will discover the beauty of this place.

Of course, if you insist on comparing this place with Bianliang and those famous big mansions in the north, the prosperity will naturally be much worse.

When they came, they were reluctant, but when they came, they didn't want to leave. This is a common problem among officials in the south.

Just like Tao Hongyuan, he doesn't want to leave now at all, even if he is given a position in the two prefectures now, he will hesitate.

One is that he is reluctant to part with the wealth of money here, and the other is that it is indeed difficult to be a husband and wife between the two prefectures.

It's not easy to live in the capital, but how can you be at ease in a place far away from the capital?
What's more, he, Tao, is still the boss of this land, and he is an indisputable existence!

Cen Zhong was suddenly appointed as the recruiter of Guangnan West Road, which really shocked Tao Hongyuan, thinking that the court was dissatisfied with him and was going to deal with him!Fortunately, later on, someone brought a heavy gift to the capital and walked around the capital, only to realize that his guess was wrong.

It wasn't that the imperial court was dissatisfied with him, but the officials were dissatisfied with Cen Zhong, so he was sent here to suffer!

Originally, Tao Hongyuan had already prepared a number of means. When Cen Zhong arrived in Guizhou, he would take good care of him, so as to please the officials in the capital. He went to Yongzhou in no time, and set up his recruiting envoy Yamen there.

What's even more annoying is that this person actually got reinforcements in Qianzhou, a thousand elite soldiers, enough for Cen Zhong to gain a firm foothold.

Well, since we can't clean it up, it's okay for everyone to coexist peacefully. For this reason, Tao Hongyuan released his goodwill and instructed the appeasement envoy to send some supplies and military equipment to Cen Zhong in Yongzhou, and let him The mansion of the transshipment envoy allocated some military salaries. It is reasonable to say that I have given kindness. You, Cen Zhong, should also return the favor. Let's sit together and discuss how to get along in the future, how to share some benefits, hello, hello, hello, everyone Bar?

But this guy doesn't know good from bad!
He wanted supplies, food and wages, but he didn't have any kindness.

On the contrary, after he gained a firm foothold in Yongzhou and made a bold statement about his recruitment plan, his claws gradually extended towards everyone.

This is unbearable!
Anyway, I am still the highest officer of Guangnan West Road!You are a recruiter. From the perspective of the power structure, you should report to me. Now you ignore me, but you still want to pry my corner and ruin my good business. Are you looking for death? ?Did you know that this line brings together all the important people on Guangnan West Road?
How about those places on Guangnan West Road that make the most money?

Where is the most profitable?

Naturally, those messy places.

Because those Song Dynasty places with many people and orderly management, whether it is the pattern above the officialdom, the pattern above the business, or even the pattern above the rivers and lakes, it has become a rule.

There is a basis for how much income you have and how you distribute it. If you want to mess around, you will probably attract countless open and dark arrows to attack you. ?
Beat the master to death with random punches!

Therefore, although the income in those orderly places is stable, it is still substantial, because there are too many people who want to share the profits.

Only in those messy places can it be possible to make huge profits.

But now because of Cen Zhong, the recruiter's operation in Yongzhou, everyone's income has dropped sharply at first, and now the water source is almost dry.

Originally Tao Hongyuan didn't think that Cen Zhong could do this, but things are often so unexpected.

The soldiers under Cen Zhong's command are not only amazing in combat effectiveness, but Cen Zhong himself is also very skilled, with both soft and hard hands, he is about to take down all the more than forty Jimi states.

If Cen Zhong were to completely control this area, would everyone have to go to him to beg for food?
In Tao Hongyuan's view, isn't Cen Zhong making such efforts to monopolize these routes?
On this line, what really makes money is not normal commerce, but smuggling, and that is a lucrative business!
When Fu Changrong walked into the back garden of the pacifier, Tao Hongyuan, the pacifier, was serving his precious camellias.

These famous strains are Tao Hongyuan's favorite.

Seeing Fu Changrong approaching, Tao Hongyuan greeted with a big smile: "Changrong, come quickly, this Crane's Dinghong is in full bloom today, haha, spread cinnabar in your palm, and dye this Crane's Dinghong! It's wonderful! , now even in Dali, it is hard to find such a quality crane crest red."

Fu Changrong, on the other hand, had a sad face, and casually said a few perfunctory words, with a preoccupied look, which made Tao Hongyuan restrain his smile, put down the watering can in his hand, and walked over while wiping his hands.

"What happened this early in the morning? On Guangnan West Road, who else would dare to offend you for joining the army?"

Fu Changrong, Cao Canjun, the householder of the appeasement envoy, is in charge of the entire Guangnan West Road's finances. He is a local wealthy family with lush branches and entangled influence. But what he wants is to take root in one place for a long time, even if the family has held a certain position for a long time, even officials, they dare not neglect them in the slightest, otherwise they can easily make you look good.

An official of iron, an official of flowing water.

Therefore, Tao Hongyuan, the pacifier of the third rank, was always polite to Fu Changrong, who barely put on the hat of the seventh rank official.

What's more, this Fu Changrong is Tao Hongyuan's boy of good fortune!

"Bachelor, don't hesitate any longer. If you don't make a move, I'm afraid we will be bitten by it!" Fu Changrong lowered his voice.

Tao Hongyuan's face suddenly darkened, and he glanced left and right, and all the servants and guards in the yard immediately retreated knowingly.

"what's wrong?"

"The news just came that the caravan we set off a month ago was detained in Xizhou!" Fu Changrong's face was extremely ugly, "Cen Zhong is following us, we have already avoided him He made a big circle around his sphere of influence, but unexpectedly, he was still blocked by his subordinates, and more than fifty carts of goods were all confiscated."

"Being caught before was just a heavy tax. Why did you take all the goods this time?" Tao Hongyuan said angrily, "He doesn't even want his face?"

Fu Changrong's face was so ugly that it was about to drip water, and he moved closer to Tao Hongyuan, even though no outsiders could be seen in the backyard at this time, he still lowered his voice and said: "Scholar, in this batch of goods, there are three The ten carts are all forbidden by the imperial court to be imported into Jiaozhi."

Tao Hongyuan's face suddenly collapsed.

Cochin proclaimed his minister to Song on the bright side, but in fact he was already in a state of independence.It's not that Da Song doesn't want to clean up. He has crusaded before, but the effect is not very good.And now, it's not the right time. The past two years of the Song Dynasty have been unfavorable, and the north and northwest are full of wars. Compared with the threat posed by Jiaozhi, it is much more.

But this doesn't mean that Da Song doesn't want to win Jiaozhi, it's just that there are priorities.Like an economic blockade, that is inevitable.

Anything, as long as the imperial court starts to block it, then it must be easy to make money, because ordinary people can't do these things.

Tao Hongyuan, as the leader of Guangnan West Road, is there anything he can't do?Maybe he was a little reserved at first, but under the repeated urging of the local snakes, he finally got into the water.

Once the shoes are stained with water, it is impossible to go ashore again, and you can only sink deeper and deeper.

All the goods sold in these thirty carts were strategic materials, and if these things fell into Cen Zhong's hands, it would mean a catastrophe.

As soon as I stretched out my hand, a pot of famous camellia, which is rare to see, was blown to the ground, and the flower pot was smashed to pieces. The original delicate flowers fell to the ground, and a few petals fell off, blown by the wind, and rolled into the distance and go.

A month ago, Fu Changrong and others had drawn up a poisonous plan to kill Cen Zhong, but Tao Hongyuan never approved this plan.From Tao Hongyuan's point of view, as long as there is still a slight possibility of not tearing up the face, then there is still a chance to fight for it.Because once the court official of Cen Zhong's level is attacked, once the matter is revealed, it will not only end in dismissal and loss of office.

Moreover, Tao Hongyuan didn't want to be tied up too tightly by Fu Changrong and the others.

But now, it seems that he can't care.

A smile appeared on Fu Changrong's face. As long as Tao Hongyuan nodded in agreement, he would no longer be able to struggle anymore. He wanted to be a whore and set up a memorial archway. At least, in front of people like himself, he wanted to pretend to be like that It's impossible to imagine a high bank, a cool breeze and a bright moon.

"Bachelor, everything has been arranged. Didn't Cen Zhong in Shun'an Prefecture always want to recruit Leihuodong, Xialeidong and other barbarians but failed? This time they will send an invitation to Cen Zhong, Please Cen Zhong go for an interview."

"Cen Zhong has three thousand tigers and wolves under his command."

"It doesn't matter, we will create some incidents on the line of Taiping Village and Guwan Village. This route is Cen Zhong's lifeline, so he will definitely disperse most of his soldiers to this line." Fu Changrong He smiled and said: "We have also calculated it. It would be good for him to bring a thousand people with him at most."

"A thousand people?" Tao Hongyuan frowned.

"Bachelor, there are a thousand warriors at Leihuodong, and we have also contacted General Ruan Jiaozhi to send out a thousand people. We can't let them come over too much, or there will be troubles. In addition, our family gathered After a while, a total of [-] people came out, and if you say hello to Hu Mao, if you send out a thousand people, there will be [-] fierce fighters."

Hu Mao, under the command of the Qingyuan Army, has [-] people under his jurisdiction. He is Tao Hongyuan's confidant and one of Tao Hongyuan's most powerful thugs in controlling Guangnan West Road.

Pacing back and forth in the room, Tao Hongyuan understood that once he made a move, if he couldn't make a contribution, he would be in great trouble.

"If you don't move, it's enough. If you move, you must not leave any hidden dangers!" Tao Hongyuan suddenly stopped, stepped on the camellia that had just fallen to the ground, crushed it vigorously, and said: "After the matter is over, join forces with General Ruan , and then wiped out all the barbarian tribes in Leihuodong."

"Understood!" Fu Changrong said with a smile: "The recruitment envoy fell into the tricks of the barbarians from Leihuodong, and was besieged by these barbarians on the way to Zhao'an, and unfortunately died in the post. The appeasement envoy was furious and sent Hu Mao The general attacked Leihuodong and other barbarian tribes, beheaded them, wiped out their clan, and avenged Cen Zhao's emissary."

"Hu Mao's whole army is dispatched!" Tao Hongyuan squinted his eyes, and said, "You should go and discuss with Hu Mao about the specific matters, and bring some more money out to help the group. Don't be reluctant to give up these little money."

"Yes!" Fu Changrong was stunned to himself, but it was safer in this way. Hu Mao's entire army was mobilized, and Cen Zhong had only a thousand soldiers around him, and it was an army that had been formed for less than a year. As far as Jimi Prefecture is concerned, it may not be enough for the well-equipped Qingyuan Army that is fed with money.

Cen Zhong must die.

If you really want to let those things and those people fall into Cen Zhong's hands, and follow the vines to investigate all the way, those shady transactions between Guangnan West Road and Jiaozhi Li's over the years will all be exposed. , I am afraid that the three clans will not be able to escape.

It's also because Cen Zhong is too ignorant. It's not that everyone has extended a warm hand to him. You are a dissatisfied guy who offended the officials. We think highly of you and want to pull you into the gang to make a fortune together, but you actually use chicken feathers as arrows If you want to find us unhappy, the key is that you have succeeded, so who will die if you don't die?

But we are still kind-hearted, at least we have arranged for you to die in the line of duty. In this way, your family can still get some pensions, and you can also have a good reputation.

Fu Changrong happily went down to arrange all this.

Things have been planned long ago, and now they are just mobilized immediately.

It doesn't take much trouble.

After we get rid of the blind guys, we will be able to make more money in the future.

Well, the guys from Leihuodong were also killed this time, and there were a few fewer people who distributed the money, which is not bad.

And Xiao Cheng and Cen Zhong, who had just quietly entered Yongzhou in pieces, also received an invitation letter jointly issued by several cave masters in Leihuodong. The local tyrants and bandit road tyrants, who had disappeared before, became active again. In one day, several places were attacked, and many serious businessmen suffered.

"Good guy, there are some good people!" Xiao Cheng said with a smile. "This plan is well done, one after another, it's really good. Hey, hey, big brother, now you should tell me, which one is your insider? I'll tell you, if you don't Tell me, when you fight back, Han Kai will smash your inside line with a hammer, and it will be a lot of fun."

Cen Zhong smiled slightly, and said a name, and Xiao Cheng's face suddenly became extremely bright.
