Fu Song

Chapter 408
Although the Luo family has not established the country for many years, the Luo family has ruled this area for more than a thousand years. It is such a big family that has been passed down for a long time that turned a family into a country, and it disappeared in less than two months.

Luo's demise caused great changes in the power structure of the entire Southwest.

The first one to eat and drink was naturally the Chamber of Commerce under the leadership of Xiao Cheng. Wang Zhu, Yang Wanfu, Li Xin, including Yang Qing, Zhang Lin and others led their troops into the Luo family's ghost country and swallowed up most of them. Part of the territory of Luo Shi Ghost Country.

The second one, of course, is the Zizhou Army led by Zhao Yuan and Tang Nu. After the two sides joined forces and defeated An Ran's army in one fell swoop, Zhao Yuan and Tang Nu did not stop for long, and led their troops back quickly until they reached Gulan. Only then did it stop.

To be honest, although the two parties have reached a cooperation agreement, Zhao Yuan and Tang Nu are still worried that after the incident, Xiao Cheng will turn his back on him and turn his back on them.

If Xiao Cheng finds an opportunity to kill you, you really have no place to seek justice. On the battlefield, anything can happen. As long as Xiao Cheng saves the lives of Zhao Yuan and Tang Nu, return to After Bianjing, this agreement will still be implemented according to Xiao Cheng's intention.

So, had to run.

It wasn't until Gulan that the two finally felt relieved, and then they stopped.

After arriving here, safety is guaranteed, so naturally we have to plan to reap some fruits. From Gulan to the north, Zhao Yuan has no plan to leave it to Xiao Cheng. No matter what, it is a hard work. If nothing is given to Zizhou on the way The allies won, how can we cooperate in the future!
The third beneficiary was Gao Yingxiang, the Dali army stationed in Xuanwei.

Gao Yingde wanted to take Xiao Cheng into action, the first step was to take back Luo Dianguo for An Guirong. When Pugui was about to attack Qianzhou, Gao Yingde was also dispatching troops to the border, ready to take a look. Take advantage of the momentum.

Once the two sides fall into a stalemate, then he will naturally make a big move to pick up a bargain.

But the result was beyond Gao Yingde's expectation, Pugui lost too quickly, and Gao Yingde hadn't done it properly yet, Pugui lost cleanly.

He even lost his head to Xiao Cheng.

More importantly, in this battle, Gao Yingde really didn't understand the role played by the imperial army. He obviously wanted to use this opportunity to clean up Xiao Cheng's imperial imperial army. Xiao Cheng teamed up to destroy Pugui?

Could it be that the two sides have colluded for a long time, and set up this big trap just to catch Pugui?
This thought made Gao Yingde dare not march to Luo Dianguo again. If they had colluded with each other for a long time, then he would send troops to violate Xiao Cheng's interests now, and he was afraid that he would poke a hornet's nest.

However, taking advantage of this opportunity to benefit from the Luo family's ghost kingdom, it's okay.

If the other party really wants to pursue it, Gao Yingde can still say that Dali is helping the Heavenly Kingdom to deal with these disobedient guys.

Of course, if we send troops, we naturally have to take advantage of it, right?

Therefore, Gao Yingxiang sent troops to Liupanshui, in the name of helping Liupanshui to resist the Song army, and tricked the guards of Luoshi Guiguo in Liupanshui to open the city gate to lure wolves into the house, and then occupied Liupanshui in one fell swoop.

For Dali's little trick, Xiao Cheng just laughed it off.

Now he has too many things to deal with, Luo Shi Ghost Country was destroyed too quickly, it is not an easy task to digest him quickly.

In order to let this piece of land be integrated into the next Guizhou Road cleanly, Xiao Cheng issued an extremely cruel order, that is, not a single nobleman from the Luo family's ghost clan will be left behind.

The frenzied killing naturally aroused even more intense resistance. These nobles from the former Luo family's ghost country who had nowhere to go either fled or started desperately resisting.

Eliminating these people has become Xiao Cheng's most important task now.

As for the Liupanshui taken by Dali, in Xiao Cheng's view, it was just stored with the other party first, and let the other party take care of him for a while, and then Dali will become his target.

As for Gao Yingxiang opening the door in Liupanshui and vigorously accepting these fugitives, Xiao Cheng was very happy.

This is such a good thing, people are running to you, and I have to spend a lot of effort to encircle them. When you have almost gathered there, I can solve all the problems once and for all.

It's a good thing you can't even ask for!
Both sides are willing, and Liupanshui has formed a base camp against Xiao Cheng in Qianzhou for a while.Whether it's the remnants of Luo Dianguo's defeated generals or the subjugated slaves of Luo's Ghost Kingdom, everyone is originally of the same race, but now they are even more of the same enemy. They gather here to keep warm, wait for the opportunity with gritted teeth, and prepare to counterattack.

But for Gao Yingde, a small Liupanshui obviously cannot satisfy his desire.

Gao Yingxiang immediately occupied Liupanshui, and naturally received a stern official document from Qianzhou, asking him to immediately withdraw from Liupanshui and return those fugitives, otherwise the army of the heavenly kingdom will inevitably usher in a crusade. All into powder.

Gao Yingde tore the official document into pieces, and while laughing loudly, he allocated a large amount of weapons and equipment to re-arm the remnants of the Luo Shi Ghost Kingdom and Luo Dian Kingdom in Liupanshui, so that they could be the vanguard. At the same time, the Dali Kingdom Tens of thousands of troops were also deployed to the front line.

On the border between Song Dynasty and Dali Kingdom, the atmosphere suddenly became tense.

Gao Yingde naturally disdained Xiao Cheng's threat, no matter what happened to Luo's ghost country being destroyed this time, but don't you have any idea of ​​who you Xiao Cheng is?Returning the army of the upper kingdom of heaven, the Song Dynasty court has the opportunity to deal with you, I am afraid that it will not hesitate.

Faced with Dali's provocation, Xiao Cheng naturally showed no sign of weakness. A large number of troops also began to arrive in Guanling and other places. Wang Zhu, Fan Yifei and other cutting-edge generals were all eager to try.

The two men had just been recruited into a large number of recruits recruited from Guangnan West Road. This new army, which Xiao Cheng called the Sirius Army, was commanded by Luo Gang, commanded by Wang Zhu and Fan Yifei, with a staff of five thousand soldiers. people.

Don't worry about the few but the unevenness. A large number of old soldiers in the Sirius Army participated in the battle against the Luo family's ghost country. This battle made them both famous and rich. In addition to money, there are quite a few soldiers who have made great contributions, and were even rewarded with the female family members of the upper-class noble families of the former Luo Shigui Kingdom, completely bidding farewell to the life of a single dog.

These soldiers are the first to get rich.

Compared to them, the recruits who had just been recruited from Guangnan West Road were in a miserable situation.

These people were originally the guys who were too poor to make a living on Guangnan West Road, otherwise, who would leave their homes and go to Qiannan to serve as soldiers!Especially in the training camp in Bangzhou, these soldiers enjoyed extremely harsh training. If they could not be full of rice every meal, they would have a piece of fat the size of a fist every night, plus hair and shoes. I'm afraid everyone has already run away.

After surviving the most difficult months, they came to Guanling, but they also missed this battle.

As a result, they can only watch those veterans show off in front of them infinitely what they have gained every day.

Especially at night, when those veterans with family members returned to the family area that belonged to them alone, these guys who could only stay in the concentrated barracks became more restless.

Because in the camp, people with good intentions are already proclaiming to them that if they can take down the Dali Kingdom on the opposite side, then what everyone can get will be countless times better than destroying a Luoshi ghost country!

Because the wealth of Dali country is not comparable to that of a small Luo family's ghost country!

The mood for war is getting higher and higher in these military camps in Guanling.

And the friction between the two sides is also increasing day by day.

Of course, all of this is just a means used by Xiao Cheng to hone the army and build up morale. After returning to Bangzhou, he is already preparing to move. The Yamen of Guiyang Road will be established soon. Xiao Cheng He is going to be sent to Guiyang.

A big victory, and it was a big victory jointly with the Zizhou Road Forbidden Army. While shaking the whole country, it also caused those big people who had been threatened by officials and had to temporarily cut off contact with Qianzhou. One by one, the merchants became active again.

The facts clearly told them that Xiao Cheng's Federation has not only survived this crisis, but will definitely improve to a higher level.I don't know what trick Xiao Zhuan used, but Zhao Yuan, who originally wanted to be his enemy, actually joined forces with him.

If a monk can do it, why can't the priest not do it?

So as soon as the news spread, there was an endless stream of big merchants coming to Qianzhou. The roads were blocked by horse-drawn carriages, and cargo ships kept flowing on the rivers.

It was already December, and the following days were the peak business season of the year, and it was a good time to make money.

The current Qianzhou is not the poor Qianzhou in the past, and the rich are very rich.

Moreover, they who just wiped out Luo's ghost country have a lot of spare money in their hands. This time is a good time to make a lot of money. They are quick and slow, and no one wants to miss this good opportunity.

Sitting opposite to Xiao Cheng, the water flowed freely and his face was full of spring breeze.

Taking advantage of the prestige of this great victory, the Federation directly ordered that the transactions of bulk goods in Qianzhou can only be delivered using Jiaozi issued by the United Bank.

At the same time, all merchants under the jurisdiction of Qianzhou shall not refuse to accept the delivery.

Because after the complete victory this time, all the rewards issued by the Federation to the soldiers were replaced by jiaozi.

"In the United Bank, there must be sufficient reserves of copper coins. In the initial stage, we must ensure our reputation, especially for ordinary people. No matter when they come to exchange, we must ensure that they can get it." Xiao Cheng urged.

"Understood!" Shui Ziliu nodded repeatedly.

According to the rules of the United Bank, the exchange of less than ten guans requires a handling fee of five renminbi, the exchange of ten guan to one hundred guan requires a handling fee of one hundred renminbi, and the exchange of one hundred guan to one thousand guan requires a consistent fee. The higher the handling fee, the more expensive the handling fee will be.

But in fact, ordinary people would not come to exchange as long as the jiaozi in their hands can be used unimpeded.Because every penny is hard-won, who wants to give five pennies to the bank for no reason?

In the same way, small local merchants are dealing with the local people, and they are doing business for the local people, so of course they will not exchange.

And those big merchants will only exchange when they go out to purchase a large amount of goods, but every time such an exchange has to pay a lot of handling fees, it will make them feel distressed, and the same will be true for foreign big merchants.

For merchants, they will naturally find reasonable ways to avoid such losses and pay as little handling fees as possible, but to achieve this goal, they can only use Jiaozi more.

And this is exactly what Xiao Cheng wanted.

As the United Bank's Jiaozi has been strong, his reputation will become higher and higher, and it will spread more and more widely. In the end, he will achieve the goal of replacing the current court Jiaozi.

In fact, the current imperial court Jiaozi's reputation is already notorious, and copper coins and silk have become the currency of transaction again.

Of course, the strength of Jiaozi from United Bank depends on the strength in Xiao Cheng's hands.

As long as his army is still sharp, his rule is still stable, and he is still making great strides forward, then the United Bank will be invincible.

"It is estimated that the profit of the United Bank this year will be more than [-] guan." Shui Ziliu smiled like a flower: "If you count the money that can be used, it can reach [-] million guan."

As a senior in the Jiaozi industry, Shui Ziliu certainly knows the huge profits here.

In the future, as the scope of use of Jiaozi of United Bank becomes wider and wider, the profits generated will be even greater.

"Tian Yi, you and Shopkeeper Shui should plan these things carefully. You should spend the money generously. Everyone has worked hard this year. It will be the end of the year soon, so I have to give everyone an idea." Xiao Cheng said with a smile.

Tian Yi nodded in agreement.

He is now the God of Wealth of the federation, in charge of the finances of the entire federation.

Shui Ziliu looked at Tian Yi's hesitant expression, and stood up knowingly to leave.

"Sign the sentence, my brother wants to come over to pay you New Year's greetings before the New Year's Eve!" Tian Yi said with a blushing face.

This time, Sizhou's performance was really not good.As a result, Tian Yi was quite shameless in front of Yang Quan. Although this did not hinder the relationship between the two, Yang Quan took this matter and hit Tian Yi in the face when he had nothing to do.

"Your elder brother and I are old friends. He can come at any time. As for you to notify in advance?" Xiao Cheng laughed: "Did your elder brother clean up Sizhou this time?"

"After cleaning up, but signing the judgment, the upper and lower are relatives, and we can't cut the roots. It's just that four or five heads fell to the ground, and it finally played a deterrent effect." Tian Yidao: "Brother wrote to me, saying this The main reason for coming here once is to have a talk with you and completely integrate the Zhongsheng Army into the system of the federation."

"Oh, is that what your elder brother said?" Xiao Cheng's eyes narrowed all of a sudden. It has to be said that Tian Chou's move was somewhat unexpected.

This is to make a big bet, don't you stop looking forward and backward?
