Chapter 9

9.30 Breaking through the predicament of Jindan and Beijing
Time flies by, and in a blink of an eye, it is February of the 16th year of Yongzheng, northeast of Jinling City, the valley training base behind the "Tongfu Inn".

"Om—" The entire back mountain seemed to be propelled by an invisible "air wave". Even ordinary people with no cultivation could feel that inexplicable feeling, but no one would have thought about what happened here.

"Brother Xu, have you succeeded?" The secret cave of retreat was roughly pushed away, and Lin Daiyu, who was protecting the law outside, looked at Wei Xu who had just got up from meditation.

"Successful, but it's still a lot later than you and Saeko!" Because he had just broken through and was not proficient in power control, Wei Xu's clothes had already been smashed into pieces by the "air wave" just now, and he didn't care, so he took The girl laughed and said.

"It's not that brother Xu loves Sister Xizi and Yu'er so much that he insists on helping protect the Dharma first." Lin Daiyu just let Ailang hug her when her cheeks blushed. up.

"Okay, you are my lover, you should take good care of yourself." Wei Xu has always had the attitude of "I have something, so you must have" towards his girls. The most direct reason around him.

"Then what about us?" Qin Keqing and Shi Xiangyun, who rushed over after hearing the news, just arrived at the door, and after hearing their love story, Shi Xiangyun, who was jealous, said coolly.

"I can't help it, my aptitude is too poor to take it away!" Lin Daiyu activated her companion skill "Damn", easily knocking Shi Xiangyun to the ground, "Why don't you spend a little more time, maybe you can save him."

"Lin Daiyu!" Shi Xiangyun pounced and dragged Lin Daiyu away from Wei Xu's arms. He rubbed his face and scratched his itch when he caught him, but deliberately imitated Lin Daiyu's tone when he spoke, "If I let you go today, I won't live again !"

"Ke'er, is there nothing going on these days?" Wei Xu didn't mind the girls' fights, turned around and changed into the clothes he had prepared, and asked Qin Keqing, "What's wrong with Dongfang?"

"What can be the matter?" Qin Keqing said angrily, "Your work-for-relief policy is progressing well. Although this winter is colder than previous years, due to sufficient food, all major prefectures and counties have survived, and the infrastructure is still good. improvement.

In particular, the promotion of raw cement has made the usual tasks of "repairing bridges and repairing roads" a lot easier. These days, the traffic in Jiangnan has improved a lot, but if we want to see the effect of development, I am afraid it will not happen in a short time. "

"Don't worry about Sister Bai, she's living a better life than us." Shi Xiangyunchai just finished fighting, or was suppressed by Lin Daiyu who had broken through the Jindan stage, and Shi Xiangyunchai was in a mess, like a crazy girl. Forget complaining.

"Brother Xu, Sister Bai's silence is a little unconventional." Lin Daiyu said with a smile, "In the past six months, if the two sides had not written conflicts from time to time, those who didn't know it might think that the world is peaceful."

"It seems that the consequences of Yongzheng's coquettish operation have already appeared." Wei Xu understood what she meant, "Now Dongfang should also have made a breakthrough. In this way, we no longer have to be as careful as before."

"Brother Xu, are we ready to do it?" Shi Xiangyun's eyes lit up, and he threw himself into Wei Xu's arms and said, she was also being "supplied" by Wei Xu these days, after all, she was not the only "outsider" in the family.

"Don't worry, the current talent pool is not enough, we should persist for a few more years, anyway, the capital has no meaningful means for us, just wait at ease." Wei Xu waved his hand with a smile.

"Brother Xu, why didn't we do it directly?" Qin Keqing asked in puzzlement, "Although the navy in Sister Qin's hands is ineffective, it is still very easy to block the fishing boats in the capital.

Now there are more than [-] elite field troops that can be put into front-line battles. We just need to ensure that the Yangtze River is not lost, and we are already invincible. The rest is nothing more than a matter of time.

As for the talent reserve, there are always many great talents who are lost to the countryside. As long as the husband shows enough strength, there will be people with great cause to come to seek refuge, and there is no need to worry about no one available. "

"Because I don't want to play feudal dynasties anymore." Wei Xu said angrily, "Today they can run out to kowtow and shout long live because of my strength, and tomorrow someone else will come over, in fact, the result will be the same.

These so-called "talented people" don't care who sits on the dragon chair at all, as long as they are willing to do official work for them and take time to worship Confucius, they are your lackeys on the surface.

But as long as they are a little weak, these people will immediately reveal their true colors like hungry wolves, wishing to put all their interests in their pockets, and they have nothing to do with the people in the world, because they only have interests in their eyes.

The manpower we cultivated by ourselves never cared about these nonsense things, but followed the habits of later generations, emphasizing ability and virtue. Although there are still shortcomings, they are definitely not comparable to those cynics. "

"Hee hee, sister Ke'er is finally no longer worried about the prince's problems?" Shi Xiangyun threw himself into Qin Keqing's arms, grinning and making trouble.

"Damn girl, I've been treating you so well these days in vain. It's all in vain!" Qin Keqing's cheeks turned red and she hit Shi Xiangyun angrily. She also didn't forget to explain to Wei Xu, "After the last time my eldest brother received military funds, he wanted to Let me advise you to support him." "He's thinking shit!" Wei Xu couldn't help but swore. After recovering, he took her in his arms and kissed her gently, "Okay, you are my wife, I can still Don’t believe you? If you abandon that place without hesitation, then I should really be worried.”

"Yes, no matter how much you do, I can't change that I am 'Wei Qin'." Qin Keqing hugged Wei Xu tightly, and couldn't help rubbing her head, "Husband, you don't have to think so much about me in the future, The things at home are the most important!"

"Sister Ke'er, it's not just you, Sister Qingyan is the same, but she is much more troublesome than you," Shi Xiangyun kindly comforted, but he mentioned the queen who was far away in the capital, "After all, her identities on both sides are too high."

"Oh?" Wei Xu's heart moved, "This is the reason why she is the actual decision-maker of the White Lotus Sect, but she didn't play much role in this turmoil, right? If she really had a child with Yongzheng, I am afraid It's even harder to say.

Whether the husband's family is important or the mother's family is important, whether it is the son or the brother is important, whether it is up to oneself or the family has the final say, many times it is not so easy to decide-the prince has a problem again? "

"Husband, big brother doesn't want to either." Qin Keqing threw herself into Wei Weixu's arms with rain, "he can't hold back any more during this time, because Yongzheng really made a bad move."

"In addition, the Taishanghuang's body is becoming more and more unbearable. Once he dies, Yongzheng will definitely make the prince fall ill and die at all costs!" Lin Daiyu said with a light smile, "Don't blame Ke'er, it's me I'm afraid I can't sit still."

"It's more than that." Qin Keqing shook her head and smiled bitterly, "Your Majesty exposed his thoughts on Wu Xun's lineage prematurely, coupled with his attitude towards General Feng Tang who had just suffered some losses at the beginning of this counter-insurgency, Wu Xun's side faced He completely lost trust.

In the past half a year, whether in Jiujiang or Nanchang, Wu Xun's side almost always took the attitude of letting it go, only some symbolic actions, and then used the excuse of 'insufficient money and food' to grind foreign workers.

Originally, the civil servants still tried their best to make Wu Xun put down the rebellion, but under the unfavorable situation of the war, His Majesty reprimanded and even dealt with some ministers one after another, which made them lose their patience.

The eldest brother said that Wu Xun had already assured him that he would not stand in line and interfere in the affairs between him and His Majesty. After all, Wu Xun was retired with the country, and he didn't care too much about which one was in power.

The civil servants have already placed their bets. Two ministers have already made it clear that they will speak for the eldest brother when the critical moment comes, but they also hinted that unless the eldest brother can speak with His Majesty on an equal footing, they will not say much. "

"En?" Wei Xu realized something was wrong, and glanced left and right to find that Saeko Busujima was not there.

"Hee hee, Sister Xiezi had expected Brother Xu to ask." Shi Xiangyun smiled and handed over a few pages, "Wu Xun has indeed changed his attitude. Niu Jizong met the prince in person, and it was Jia who made the connection. Respectfully.

However, our side has not been notified, not only ourselves, but everyone in Jinling has not received it. We suspect that it is due to the need for confidentiality. After all, the matter is too big, and it will be troublesome if it is leaked. "

"Even the three members of the Imperial Forest Army are shaken?" Wei Xu flipped through the information, but he really couldn't understand Yongzheng Emperor's way of thinking, "If you don't have enough money and food, you can't feed your absolute core? This is done by people. ?”

"Sister Qingyan sent a letter saying that the lack of money and food this time is really not caused by the civil servants, but because of the long-term war, the Ministry of Households has indeed consumed too much, and the tax revenue of the entire south of the Yangtze River has almost stopped.

With no alternative, Yongzheng halved the payment of food and salaries to all the troops except the Jiujiang front-line army, even the four frontier armies.

Now where the finances and taxes are stable, only the northern provinces plus Sichuan and Huguang land are directly transported to the front line of Jiujiang, but it is still not enough for the consumption of nearly 10 people.

The war in Jiangnan has just ended, and it has only been tax-free for one year. However, Mr. Lin sent another 100 million taels to Beijing, which was obtained by copying the last batch of salt merchants in the Yangzhou area. Now the Jiangnan salt business is basically carried out according to Brother Xu's arrangement Reformed. "

"Brother Xu, my father is not." Lin Daiyu also couldn't understand Lin Ruhai's idea of ​​loyalty to the emperor, "He just didn't want the people in the north to suffer from the increase in taxes due to the war, not"

"Okay, I got it." Wei Xu hurriedly hugged his sister to comfort him, "Yongzheng's internal and external difficulties are no longer something that can be solved with a million silver, and I can accept that it can make the people in the north suffer less. Fortunately, except for the flood in the Yangtze River , the past two years in the north have been pretty good.

Lead by example, cut, Yongzheng really doesn't understand - let's go, let's go home first, Saeko's absence is really unaccustomed, and she can't report everything, so she can only talk about it in person. "

"En!" *3.
