Governor please stay

Chapter 477
There are many steep mountains and rivers in the world, majestic and changeable, unfathomable, but the most changeable and unfathomable thing in the world is the human heart.

It is a "dead mission" for Changsun Jian, Wei Xiaokuan and others to search for Yubi Mountain.According to the picture, as long as you are careful, you can complete it.It is not difficult to find Yubi Mountain, but the difficulty is to build a majestic city at this pass.

It's a pity that the task of lobbying the Hedong clan this time cannot rely on brute force.

In the lobby of the ancestral house belonging to the Pei family in Wenxi County, Hedong County, Su Chuo was chatting with the person in charge of one of the Wenxi Pei families.

This person's name is Pei Rangzhi, and he is famous for his literary talents.Although he is very young, he already has an official position.For aristocratic families, children with official positions have far more power to speak than those without official positions.

The only problem is that Gao Huan gave Pei Rangzhi the position of magistrate.He was an official under Gao Huan, not an old bureaucrat in the Northern Wei Dynasty.

So at this moment, Pei Rangzhi's complexion is not very good.In fact, he didn't really want to deal with He Bayue's subordinates, but how should I put it, people have to bow their heads under the eaves, and everything is for survival.

Puban City is very close to Wenxi County, and there are no natural obstacles in the middle.In case He Bayue's brain gets hot, he can look good to the Pei family in Hedong, at least it's easy to look good to the Pei family in their room.

Now that He Bayue sent people to discuss matters, it was normal that they couldn't reach an agreement, but it was a matter of etiquette not to let others in.From this point of view, Pei Rangzhi is also a person with very flexible principles.

"Mr. Su's visit today, what's the matter?"

Although Pei Rangzhi is young, he lost his father when he was young, and he is an old man.It's one thing to have a bad face, but the superficial etiquette is still in place.

"Come here today, not for anything else, just to borrow food."

Su Chuo said slowly.

Pei Rangzhi had heard about the severe drought in Guanzhong and the shortage of food and grass.It's a pity that there is no difference between He Bayue and Gao Huan, they are both tigers and wolves.Although the Pei family has food, they also know that the so-called borrowing food is absolutely "borrowing but not repaying".

What's more, if he supported He Bayue so blatantly, how would Gao Huan feel when he found out?
These things flashed through his mind, and Pei Rangzhi smiled slightly and said, "Pei's family has no food either. Thirty or fifty loads may be fine, but if you bring it out to increase your smile, even Governor He Ba would not like it. Even the Pei family can't get more food, it's really powerless."

Pei Rangzhi said with emotion.

"Don't talk about it first, Mr. Pei, why don't you read this first."

Su Chuo smiled slightly, took out a letter from his cuff, and continued: "I know what Mr. Pei is worried about. But in business, borrowing things with empty teeth is cheating. We have Here is the proof of mortgage, borrowing food, but seriously."

Pei Rangzhi opened the letter, which indicated how much grain was borrowed from Guanzhong, when to pay it back, what the collateral was, and it was clearly listed, as well as He Bayue's own seal.

Everything else is easy to say, the only collateral that makes people's blood pressure go up immediately after seeing it!
"Mr. Su, I'm young and ignorant. I really don't understand the reason why other people's things can be used as mortgages for my own family. This Hedong Salt Pond is owned by a large family in Hedong. I've never heard that it belongs to Governor Heba, right?"

Pei Rangzhi was shaking with anger.The letter said to borrow grain from the Pei family, and the mortgage is the salt in the salt pond. In the future, when we occupy it, we will share half of the output with you, and each family will share equally.

But the problem is that Yanchi is now managed by Gao Huan's people!
He Bayue's playing like this is simply a joke!

"No and no. Whether it's Yanchi, the land, or the wealth, they are all home to the virtuous! Gao Huan has no virtue, and the governor of Heba is virtuous. It's as simple as that."

Su Chuo said brazenly.

Pei Rangzhi understood what the other party meant.

Now Yanchi belongs to Gao Huan, but in the future he won't be able to keep the east of the river. Now that we are here, isn't this place ours?At that time, half of the salt pond will be shared with you, why don't you kneel down and thank you?

"Mr. Su is very confident."

Pei Rangzhi snorted coldly, and was speechless about the blind confidence of He Bayue and his gang.The other party just settled for the family of the Hedong family. Don't they know that Gao Huan's soldiers and horses can go south from Pingyang at any time?
"That's natural. Hedong is integrated with Puban and Longmen. We sent troops to Hedong, which is much closer than Gao Huan. Mr. Pei can't deny this, right?"

Su Chuo said with a smile, not panicking at all.

He put his hands in his cuffs, and continued in a leisurely manner: "We can indeed defeat Gao Huan and ensure the safety of Hedong."

These words directly blocked what Pei Rangzhi wanted to say in his throat.

This person originally wanted to ask: the two armies fought fiercely in Hedong, and the lives were devastated. What good do we, the rich families in Hedong, do? It is better to starve to death you troublemakers.

Seeing that Su Chuo seemed to be confident, Pei Rangzhi was also a little curious. He couldn't help asking: "Mr. Su seems to be very confident. It's just that Gao Huan has food and soldiers, but Guanzhong is poor and short of food. I don't know if He Ba Where does Mr. Su's self-confidence come from?"

"The secret must not be leaked, Mr. Pei will wait and see, and Su will leave."

Su Chuo stood up, saluted Pei Rangzhi, and then left Wenxi Pei's ancestral house.

Immediately afterwards, Su Chuo visited the Xue family in Hedong, the Wang family in Hedong and other big families to explain his intention.The attitude of these people is exactly the same as that of Pei Rangzhi.

Reject cautiously, but not repel.

After finding out the attitude of the rich families in Hedong, Su Chuo couldn't help secretly praising Liu Yishou for his ability to predict things like a god.

These wealthy families just care about eating but not fighting. If you don't show your strength, the other party will treat you as a little transparent and don't take it seriously.

These people were also counting on Gao Huan to send troops to Hedong, so they were not willing to stand in line easily, and they were not even willing to provide food and grass in private.

It is better to rely on yourself than to rely on the sky and the earth.To forge ahead, you can only rely on your own fists to make a difference!
After wandering around among the big clans in the river, Su Chuo returned to Puban City and reported the movement of the river to He Bayue. It happened that Changsun Jian and others returned almost at the same time, so He Bayue called these people together again. Discuss important matters.

……

In the study, He Bayue looked intently at Changsun Jian and asked: "You have also gone to see the situation on the side of Yubi, should we build a city?"

Changsun Jian winked at Wei Xiaokuan, and Wei Xiaokuan immediately took out a piece of paper from his bosom, which was a sketch he had drawn while inspecting Yubi.

How to arrange the city and the surrounding terrain, he thought about it along the way, and changed the sketch several times. Now this is the "final version", otherwise he would not dare to show it.

"My lord, Yubi is not only suitable for building a city, but this place should be a key point in our struggle with Gao Huan. According to the general's humble opinion, after building a city here, we can safely and boldly put the money and food from Hedong into the treasury.

Not only can it solve the urgent need in the pass, but it can also go a step further, use Yubi as a base, spy on Pingyang, and even after occupying Pingyang, continue to attack Jinzhou in the east.Change from passive to active. "

What Wei Xiaokuan said made He Bayue's heart burst into joy.

After finally suppressing the excitement in his heart, He Bayue turned to look at Su Chuo and asked, "What kind of attitude do the aristocratic families in Hedong have?"

What else can I do, lie flat and rotten!

Su Chuo smiled slightly and said, "What kind of attitude can you have? Just like the dead pigs and sheep, they are not afraid of boiling water at all."

It is impossible to borrow food, it is impossible to send troops, and it is even more impossible to report to Gao Huan. In short, don't talk nonsense, I will pretend that you have never been here.

This attitude can be described as the classic "no initiative, no rejection, no responsibility".

"Sure enough..."

He Bayue thought that he had a good reputation, and when those people heard that he sent someone to borrow food, they would pay homage to him. As expected, it was Liu Yishou who knew better about these big families who eat people but don't spit out their bones.

"My lord, it is imperative to build a city in Yubi. If there is no food and grass, then we will do everything possible to raise food and grass. After we block the opening of Yubi, Mr. Su will go to the east of the river and believe in those stubborn families. , will change his mind."

Changsun Jian said calmly.

This person was one of Yuwentai's counselors in history, and planned the attack on Jiangling, killing Liang Yuandi Xiao Yi.

"Qingming (Changsun Jian's name) is right."

He Bayue nodded slightly, this is indeed the way to do things.Blocked Yubi, then put the knife on the necks of those aristocratic families, and asked them if they still had food and grass!
It doesn't make sense to reason, after all, Hedong Yanchi is not under his control.

The Hedong Salt Pond has been a stable source of salt supply in Guanzhong since the Spring and Autumn Period.

In the history of Liu Yishou's previous life, before the land of Shu was occupied, the Hedong Salt Pond almost supplied all the salt needs of the Western Wei Dynasty and the Northern Zhou Dynasty.

Otherwise, He Bayue would have to spend money to buy salt from the Hedong family. Thinking about that kind of thing makes me panic, how can I bear it?

"What do you think?"

He Bayue looked around and asked.

Seeing that everyone nodded slightly and agreed unanimously, he sighed.

"It seems that everyone has nothing to say about the construction of Yubi City, so..." He Bayue looked at the few people in the study, hesitating for a while.

Whether or not to repair Yubi City, no one raised any objections, this is a firm decision.

But whether to cultivate is one thing, how to cultivate and who to send to cultivate are another matter.This is the truth that is easier said than done.Knowing the importance of Yubi City, and being able to truly build the city, is a real man.

Those who know they need to cultivate but fail to succeed are just giants of thinking and dwarfs of action.

"Then, who wants to build Jade Wall City?"

He Bayue asked in a deep voice.

This is a good question, in fact, except for Wei Xiaokuan, everyone present felt that they were not that material.

"If my lord doesn't dislike it, then I will lead my troops to repair the city at Yubi."

Wei Xiaokuan clapped his hands and asked for a fight, his tone was very resolute.From the time he drew topographic maps, he knew that almost only he could do this.A rough man like Da Xiwu can go to battle to kill the enemy, and he is qualified to lead the army to fight, but it is really difficult for him to build a city like Yubi.

In He Bayue's army, there were countless people like Da Xiwu, and he caught a lot of them.But there are not many people who understand military strategy, and those who can build cities are even rarer.

He is the eldest son among the dwarfs.

"Well, that's it."

He Bayue sighed, wondering whether to agree to Wei Xiaokuan's request.

Going to build the city this time is not a joke. Once Gao Huan's men find out, a big battle will definitely be inevitable.Pingyang City is just north of Yubi, the construction of the city is such a big commotion, are Gao Huan's men and horses all blind?

Once a fight breaks out at that time, the people in charge of repairing the city will be miserable!
"This operation will be very dangerous, and it may even be abandoned halfway. Are you still so persistent?" He Bayue asked with a sigh. He also thought that Wei Xiaokuan was the right candidate, but it was still necessary to make a gesture.

"My lord, I think that if we can find a way to confuse Gao Huan, building a city should not be difficult. I heard that Gao Huan wants to avenge his son and invade the country of Liang. It's better to let Gao Huan make up his mind to go south. In this case, we can naturally Take this opportunity to build a city."

Wei Xiaokuan said confidently.

"Oh? What can you do?"

He Bayue suddenly became interested.On weekdays, Wei Xiaokuan has a lot of bad ideas, although many of them are useless, but it can be seen that this person is a person who can use his brain to do things.

"Returning to my lord, just send people to Yecheng to make noise, make up a nursery rhyme, saying that the poisonous bird invades the north, and Liu who destroys the high is enough. Adding fuel and vinegar to say that Gao Huan is cowardly, and the son was shot blind by Liu Yishou without knowing how to take revenge. It is unbearable." Mainly.

I believe Gao Huan will take action. "

Wei Xiaokuan said confidently.

The poisonous bird is a beautiful and poisonous bird with feathers. It has always been unknown, and the rulers of all dynasties are very disgusted and hated.During the Western Jin Dynasty, the emperor promulgated a special decree that once the poisonous birds unique to the south were found, they should be killed immediately, and no one was allowed to bring the poisonous birds to the north.

Rumors imply that Liu Yishou is a poisonous bird, and now he wants to go to the north to make trouble, this move is not without viciousness.

As long as Gao Huan leads troops south to find Liu Yishou's troubles, then there is no need to worry about him sending troops to attack Yubi.After all, Gao Huan's soldiers, horses, food and grass were also limited, so how could he go south to Liang Guo in a big way, and at the same time come to Hedong to trouble He Bayue?
"Wonderful, then we should take multiple approaches, Mr. Su, you can arrange this matter."

He Bayue pulled Su Chuo's cuff and said.

"Please rest assured, my lord, the materials needed to build the city will be properly allocated by the people and subordinates."

Su Chuo cupped his sleeves and bowed deeply to He Bayue.

……

Work in the morning, work at noon, and work in the evening.

For several days in a row, Liu Yishou was in the study reviewing all kinds of documents and amending the regulations, so busy that he was dizzy.

It just fell into the night that day, and he finally finished handling all kinds of matters related to this year's autumn harvest. He collapsed on the wooden board in the study and "looked up at the starry sky" by himself.

"Yang Xiaoguang probably felt that hard work was useless, so he ended up going to Yangzhou to show off."

Liu Yishou got up on a whim, came to the wall, put his hands on the ground, and stood upside down against the wall.

At this moment, he watched Yang Jiang walk in with a booklet.I have to say, looking backwards, the girl seems to be quite different from before.Especially the chest, I don't know if it's an illusion, but Liu Yishou feels that Yangmeizi's chest is much "big and tall" than when he first saw it.

"Uh, good brother, which one are you playing?"

Yang Jiang squatted on the ground, looked at Liu Yishou's weird posture, wanted to laugh but tried his best to hold back, and poked his face with his fingers.

"When you want to cry, just stand upside down, so that the tears that were going to flow will not flow out, and if you want to cry in the future, just stand upside down."

Liu Yishou looked at Yangjiang and said "affectionately".

"That's disgusting. Oh, that's all. You can stand on your head slowly. I'll throw the expenses in the Moon Mansion on your desk."

Yang Jiang shook his head helplessly, put the brochure in his arms on the table and was about to leave.She wasn't Xiao Yuzheng, Liu Yishou's words didn't hurt her at all.

After walking a few steps, Yang Jiang turned her head to look at Liu Yishou, and found that he was still in this posture.She walked over and asked curiously, "Aren't you tired from playing this way? How long have you been standing?"

"I can't move, please help me."

Liu Yishou squeezed out an awkward smile and said.
