Liu Song Hanque

Chapter 154 Abundant Talents
Under Liu Yizhen's long-distance command, the northern family is like a shark that smells of blood, trying to squeeze into the officialdom one after another and gain a position of power that is close at hand.

The Southern family is now also fighting back, because they have the home court advantage, and they can barely cope with the crazy counterattack.

"Mr. Chang'an, it's a mess outside now. Are you still so leisurely? Three."

At this time, Wang Maide and Gao Yun, two of Liu Yizhen's confidants, were playing a novel game called "Fighting Landlords" with Liu Yizhen in the courtyard.

"What's the hurry. They stopped when they were tired of killing. Those aristocratic families are all monkey spirits. Didn't my father stop them? They want to kill, so just go for it. Wang Zha!"

"Ahem! I'm against three! Mr. Chang'an, are you making a mistake?"

"No, three four five six seven eight nine ten, Shunzi! I'm gone!"

Wang Maide and Gao Yun looked at each other helplessly, then dropped the cards in their hands and reshuffled them.

After Liu Yizhen brewed a pot of tea leisurely, he leisurely and comfortably rocked the deck chair he had just made.

"It smells good."

Gao Yun was refreshed by the smell of tea.

"what is this?"

"It's just tea, it's just fried. You want me to give you some."

After asking Li Jing to pour a cup of tea for Wang Maide and Gao Yun, the two began to drink tea separately, regardless of shuffling the cards.

"Who is the end of the southern family now?"

Hearing Liu Yizhen's question about the matter, Gao Yun helped to answer: "It's mainly some small aristocratic families who moved south."

"Wang and Xie's family didn't end?"

"It's not on the surface, but it must be helping behind the scenes. Otherwise, it would have been eaten by the hungry wolves in the north."

Speaking of this, Gao Yun seemed to think of something funny: "The local family in the south is actually helping the family in the north intentionally or unintentionally this time. It seems that they also want to fish in troubled waters."

The attitude of the local family in the south towards the Nandu family has never been harmonious, so it is reasonable to jump out to be a second or fifth son at this time.

For those who are weak, only by muddying the water can they have a chance to rise to the top.

"Who are the people introduced by the Northern Family this time?"

This time it was Wang Maide who knew better.

"Zheng Xianzhi of the Zheng family in Xingyang."

"Chenjun Yin Jingren. (The real name is Yin Yi, and the word is Jingren. Like Xie Lingyun, history books seem to prefer to call them by their surnames. I don't know if there are any book friends who understand to explain why)"

"There is also Liu Zhan from Nanyang."

Liu Yizhen was a little puzzled: "Didn't Hongnong Yang push anyone up?"

The first one I wooed was Hongnong Yang, they didn't even fight for this opportunity?
Wang Maide knew what was going on: "The Hongnong Yang family has been in decline since the imperial court moved to the south, and now there is no clan member in the imperial court holding an important position. It would lose the opportunity if a new person was promoted, so Hongnong The Yang family mainly uses this opportunity to win over other northern families."

After saying this, Liu Yizhen understood.

Take a look at the people from the northern family who are now pushing up to fight in the ring, whether it is Zheng Xianzhi, Yin Yi or Liu Zhan, they have stood in line with Liu Yu early on, and their status in the court is actually not too low.

Give them the opportunity, maybe they can win the position of a central minister.

But if the Hongnong Yang family is pushed from the family, even if they make a profit in the end, it is impossible to reach the sky in one step.

So simply turn to support others and sell favors by the way.

"It's no wonder Hongnong Yang's family can do so well in the future."

As expected of a thousand-year-old family, this vision and demeanor are really nothing to say.

Although he didn't push his own clansmen to come up, once the northern family made a profit, could they still be forgotten?

Coupled with the appearance of giving away profits to the northern family, maybe the current Hongnong Yang family will become the "spokesperson of the northern family" and gain the political status of Wang and Xie.

"Don't fight for the immediate advantage. This is easy to say, but it is not easy to do. It's amazing."

Since Hongnong Yang didn't plan to make an effort at this time, Liu Yizhen also left him alone for the time being.

"Then wait."

Of course, it is something Liu Yizhen likes to see and hear more power from the family.

"What's the news from Guanzhong?"

"The main construction of the new Chang'an has been basically completed, and the people of the old Chang'an have basically moved in. It's just that the progress of the construction of the city wall is a bit slow. Because Wang Shishi thinks that more people should be sent to build water conservancy projects."

"Both General Mao and General Fu requested to expand the size of the government soldiers, but Wang Shishi has not agreed, and the two sides are a bit deadlocked."

The previous point is based on Wang Xiu's meaning. After all, Liu Yizhen is not in Guanzhong now, so I don't know the specific situation in Guanzhong.Maybe it's because there is less snow in winter, so it's always right to be prepared.

The next one...

The general must hope that the more soldiers the better.

But the foundation of the Fubing is to equalize the land, and it is estimated that there is not much free land left in Guanzhong. If the scale of the Fubing cannot be maintained, things will become ridiculous, so Wang Xiu was right to refuse.

"It seems that they dislike too much horse equipment..."

The fact that Fu Hongzhi and Mao Dezu dared to make such a request must be because the two of them got a lot of war horses through trade with Hu Xia Rouran, and they couldn't wait to expand.

"Go send them a message, and give the horses to General Zhu Lingshi and General Zhu Chaoshi. Don't be like a miser."

"Also let Fu Hongzhi open up the horse farm in Longyou. Having a stable source of war horses is the long-term solution."

Liu Yizhen guessed that Liu Yu sent Zhu Lingshi to guard Guanzhong. Zhu Chaoshi guarded Luoyang to prepare for the future Northern Expedition. Giving them some horses to form cavalry can be regarded as an early start of armament.

As far as going east.

The number of war horses in Guanzhong is still a top secret. If the southern generals find out, they may eat them alive and snatch them away.

With such a precious power, Liu Yizhen had better keep it under wraps.

"Help me prepare a greeting card, I'm going to meet someone."

"Who does Lord Chang'an want to see?"

"Thank you."

This and Wang Hong are the face of the southern family.

In the past, Liu Yizhen wanted to give the other party an opportunity to negotiate a peace, and by the way, win Xie Hui's support.

Well, it is support.

Although Xie Hui is behind the southern family, but he is also in the center now.

It is possible to fight at the family level, but at the central level, they can still cooperate.

Wang Maide and Gao Yun were a little puzzled: "Does Chang'an have any plans?"

"of course."

"If you just let the northern family enter the arena and fight for power for me, that would be a bit inferior. My father can't agree so easily."

"No matter what I do, the ultimate beneficiary must always be the court."

Wang Maide's voice was very low at this time: "Then what will Chang'an do?"

"Dismember the states!"

"Now the local power is a little too big! These... are the soil for the breeding of the aristocratic family."

"Xie Hui doesn't dare to play sloppy with me on this, or he won't be able to sit in the position of servant for a long time!"
