Fu Song

Chapter 422 Brothers also need to settle accounts

The face of the transporter along the way fell to the ground with a crackling sound.The go-horse who patrolled the localities and specialized in small reports lowered his eyebrows, and the officials at all levels on Guizhou Road, landlords, gentry, and tribal leaders who came to drink today once again realized Xiao Cheng's power and arrogance.

On weekdays, he was smiling and amiable in front of them like a bodhisattva's appeasement. After this thunderous side was shown in front of everyone, some people who were half-hearted in their hearts immediately gave up their hearts.

The transfer envoy was just slapped in the face, if it was his turn, it would be a shattered face.

Let's just behave honestly in front of Xiao Futai!
As for the Hu-transporter?

What did he say?
Did you hear me?

Oh, dare you not hear everyone!

What if he wants to call someone to speak next?
Tomorrow the banquet is over, those who should go home will go home, there are too many things in the house, and there is no time to stay here.

What if he came to the door?
Hey, who told us to be good officials who don't care about people's sentiments!Three hundred and sixty-five days a year, most of the time is spent running around outside.This is what Xiao Futai praised for doing practical things for the people, going to the fields, and being an official doing things in front of the people.

Those officials who stay in the yamen all day and only look at the paperwork will be scolded bloody by Xiao Futai.

So, it's not the right time for Hu Zhuanyun to bring you here, and it just so happens that I'm not at home!
You can't embarrass a good official like Xiaguan who is dedicated to serving the people, can you?

If you really dare to embarrass me, the lower officials also have the right to participate in the performance, and you can come to participate in you.

Even if I don't have the right to participate, I can also jointly invite ginseng who has the right to participate in you.

Complain, who wouldn't!

The banquet was not over yet, and the gods from all walks of life who saw the big scene just now had already planned in their hearts how to deal with this transporter in the future.

Anyway, in terms of face, you have to be polite.

However, things will definitely not be done for you.

Everyone, you look at me, I look at you, they all look understanding, nodding to each other, raising eyebrows, pouting, and smiling like thousand-year-old foxes.

"Can it be handled more smoothly, why make it so embarrassing?" Old Master Cen drank another glass of wine, sighed and said, "This Hu Zhuanyun envoy's article is still good, and his poem is also very good."

"Impossible!" Xiao Cheng and Cen Zhong said at the same time, their heads arranged like a rattle.

The two looked at each other, both of them couldn't help laughing, but Cen Zhong continued: "Father, you have never been in the officialdom, you don't know the key here, today's matter will never be good, this is not to see What about the sword, light and sword of blood! If Chongwen doesn't knock Hu Yi's prestige to the ground on the spot and step on his feet fiercely, I'm afraid that the transfer envoy will make trouble on the Guizhou road next. The commotion is out of control, why not let everyone understand a truth today, follow Xiao Futai, the wind will flourish, follow Hu Zhuanyun, and you can generally go home and prepare the coffin!"

Listening to his son's words, Old Master Cen felt a little uneasy on his face. What do you mean you haven't been in the officialdom!This is secretly discriminating against Lao Tzu for failing to pass the Jinshi exam!
But you two Jinshi were taught by Lao Tzu.

He snorted and stood up and left the table, "Enough drinking, go back to sleep!"

Xiao Cheng quickly waved his hand, and immediately two servants came over, one on the left and the other on the right, stroking the old man and walking towards the back door.

"Senior brother said the wrong thing, and poked the old man's weakness!" Xiao Cheng said with a smile.

"It's okay, take a jar of your good wine tomorrow to accompany him for a drink or two, and you'll be fine. How can father and son have an overnight feud?" Cen Zhong said with a smile.

"This fruit wine really doesn't have much strength, why don't we drink it in another place?" Xiao Cheng whispered.

"I've had this intention for a long time!" Cen Chongxi said.

The two stood up, Xiao Cheng said to everyone: "I still have some things to discuss with Cen Futai, eat well and drink well!"

Everyone stood up and handed them off. Speaking of which, with these two sitting at the same table, everyone was really uncomfortable drinking. Once the two of them leave, the big guy can completely let go.

As soon as the two walked through the door, they heard the sound of yelling and shouting from behind, and they couldn't help but looked at each other and smiled.

The drink outside is fruit wine, the alcohol content is very low.

This year's road in Guizhou is said to be a bumper harvest, but after Xiao Cheng annexed Luo's ghost country and other places, the food seemed to be insufficient, so we had to save it!
Without a certain amount of food reserves, I have no idea what to do.

Therefore, on Guizhou Road, wine making is still a prohibited industry. Only a few people have this qualification, and the sales outside are limited. Basically, the wine in the tavern is either fruit wine or grain wine mixed with water. If the alcohol taste is weak, it is better if the alcohol content is high!

Of course, the two avoided the crowd, not because they were really hungry for some good wine.

A Futai from Guizhou Road, and a Futai from Guangnan West Road, are almost extremely personal fellows, and they are both standing committee members of the Federation, so naturally there are many opinions to be admitted and exchanged.

But one thing is certain, these two are not so loyal to the court anymore.

In fact, Cen Zhong still struggled with this matter for a long time.

After all, he has read books and received traditional education since he was a child, and the four words of loyalty to the emperor and patriotism are still deeply imprinted in his heart.

Here, loyalty to the monarch is placed first.

Later, Xiao Cheng told him that the king cannot be trusted or supported, only the Chinese can be trusted and supported. They, the scholar-bureaucrats, are more responsible to maintain Chinese culture, carry forward Chinese culture, and spread Chinese culture to a wider range. To spread, to occupy.

Wherever the sun shines, there are Chinese characters, rites, music, poetry, and customs. This is the mission of a serious scholar-bureaucrat.

Compared with this, the so-called loyalty to the emperor and patriotism for one family and one surname is really a little thing that can't be put on the table.

Cen Zhong, who went back and pondered Xiao Cheng's words carefully, the more he thought about it, the more reasonable it was, and the more he thought about it, the more excited he felt.

This matter is very interesting!
For people like Cen Zhong, once the barrier in their minds is broken, they can often burst out with amazing strength and wisdom.

Moreover, they still have the ability to stand on the commanding heights of morality and write fair comments on all their actions, so that their actions are not only reasonable, but also reasonable. Naturally, it is against the laws of the Song Dynasty, but if they win in the future, then they will be the pioneers, and naturally there will be no problem.

"The reorganization of the army in Guangnan West Road has already started, but the resistance is not small!" Cen Chong said, sipping extremely high-strength shochu, "It can't be compared with your place. By this time next year, the preliminary reorganization can be completed, and it will be regarded as a high incense. .”

"The most important thing is to maintain an army that is absolutely loyal and whose combat effectiveness is superior to all others." Xiao Cheng said, turning his wine glass. "You have already done this, and the next step is nothing more than the old trick of pulling a group, fighting a group, and supporting a group."

"I'm different from you. Now I'm still a little worried that the imperial court will transfer me away at any time. You have also seen that, with the current situation of your surroundings, how can Du Tang rest assured that I stay here?"

"Isn't that simple?" Xiao Cheng sneered: "Once there is news from Dutang that they want to touch you, then make something happen in Guangnan West Road to let them understand that once you leave, Guangnan West The road is going to be chaotic, and with Xia Jie's temperament of not seeking merit, but seeking no fault, it will definitely die down."

"This person Zhao Yuan will definitely enter the capital hall." Cen Chong said: "It is just an excessive effort to correct every hole now. Once this person enters the capital hall, he will use his methods to add hostility to us. , will definitely promote this matter regardless of everything.”

"It will take at least a few years for him to enter the capital hall. With these few years of work, is it possible that you have not completed your deployment on Guangnan West Road? If you are really transferred, you will resign and quit. Isn’t Guangnan West Road good for the elderly?”

Cen Zhong couldn't help laughing out loud.

After taking a few mouthfuls of food, Cen Zhong suddenly said: "During the process of reorganizing the army, I was diluting Wei Wu's military power. This guy has some complaints. You don't blame me, do you? He regards it as something in his pocket." I have everything under my jurisdiction, and I am ready to give it to others."

"Understood!" Xiao Cheng said: "Even if we are blood brothers, we still have to settle accounts! Wei Wu must be someone in my pocket, I will write to him and ask him to be honest. It’s really outrageous over there, let him roll back.”

"That's not enough!" Cen Chong laughed and said, "Wouldn't it make the generals on Guangnan West Road think that I, Cen Chong, have a cold nature? To the current seat?"

"I'll talk to him about the joints here!" Xiao Cheng said with a smile.

"That's a lot of work!" Cen nodded and said, "Tell me, what compensation do you want? If I owe you too much favor, I'm afraid I won't be able to pay it back in the future."

"Brother is bright!" Xiao Cheng said: "Find a good harbor in Leizhou for the Zheng family. The Federation will build a large shipyard on the Leizhou Peninsula next, and train sailors there."

"It's easy to handle!" Cen Zhong said: "But is it necessary to launch a large-scale navy now? The investment of the navy is too big! Besides, it is not a good thing to let the Zheng family become too powerful. At sea, we have very little power to restrain him. We cannot completely rely on the relationship between Han Kai and his son-in-law, because it is not reliable, and it cannot last long."

"So I want to expand the navy!" Xiao Cheng said: "We don't have money, so we can't do it quickly, but there are still a lot of maritime merchants on Liangzhe Road and Fujian Road, and it is natural to bring them in. Formed a restriction on the Zheng family."

"I understand!" Cen Zhong suddenly realized: "It is precisely because of fear that the Zheng family's power will be unstoppable, so we need to quickly expand the scale and introduce other forces, so that we can get things done without spending our own money."

"In addition, we can also have a navy that is powerful enough to sweep the world!" Xiao Cheng said: "Brother, the world is far bigger than you and I imagined. In the future, whoever has a powerful navy will be able to control the ocean. Take control of the ocean and you will get the most out of it."

"That is to say, the ideal that you can hear my Chinese poems recited in the place where the sun shines can be realized!"

"exactly!"

"But now our biggest enemy is still on land! Not to mention the Liao people, but the Dali you are thinking about now, its strength is much stronger than our two places." Cen Zhong said: "Still There is a place of cochination, now we can only forget it and sigh!"

"Fortresses are always breached from the inside!" Xiao Cheng said: "The first is to attack the enemy, the next is to attack the enemy, the next is to attack the city, and the last is to attack the city. When we start to attack the city, the victory is almost in our hands. inside."

"Dali, do you have any clues?" Cen Zhong asked with a smile.

"It's early! But the seeds have been planted, and the environment is being created for them step by step. We just wait for the seeds to take root and germinate, and the external environment is ready before they can start. It will take two years, and we will We have to take advantage of these two years to quickly grow ourselves, otherwise when the opportunity arises, our own teeth are not good, and we bite down happily but accidentally break our teeth, and it will be a joke." Xiao Xiao Cheng filled the wine for Cen Zhong.

"As for Li Zhun, I have been strongly supporting him to develop his strength in secret." Cen Chong said with a smile, "That kid and the man named Ruan thought that my purpose was just to support a pro-Song cochin power." They couldn't imagine that my real purpose was to restore the homeland of the Han and Tang Dynasties, Jiaozhi, hehe, it's obviously our Annan County!"

The two looked at each other and smiled, raised their glasses to touch each other, and then drank it down in one gulp.

What is like-minded?
This is it.

Xiao Cheng believes that with the passage of time, he will cultivate more people like Cen Zhong. The first step is the hardest in everything. simpler.

It can be believed that there are already many people around Cen Zhong who have the same thoughts as Cen Zhong.And these people will influence more people.

And in this world, there may be many people who have this kind of thinking. In the near future, they will definitely be attracted by the situation here, and join this big melting furnace together, so that the fire will burn even more vigorously. In this way, the world will be reforged and forged again, so as to create a brand new world.

There was a sudden commotion outside, and after listening intently for a moment, Xiao Cheng smiled and said, "This is a group of people who are preparing to make trouble in Han Kai's bridal chamber. This kid will be offended tonight."

"I heard that the little girl from the Zheng family is not only a well-known talented woman in Quanzhou, but also a beautiful woman of national beauty. Han Kai, if he hadn't followed you, he might not even be worthy of carrying shoes for others!"

"Han Po's heart is pure. It might be her luck that this little girl married him. Who can say for sure!"
