Chapter 4: Greedy and Insufficient

Chapter 4: Greed and Insufficient

There are not many people in Shizhu Xuanwei Division who are completely devoted to General Qin.

In the past, the reason why the Baigan Army fought without fear of death was entirely because they were greedy for the military pay, military rations, and war seizures given by the court. Only in this way can the barren Shizhu Chieftain have enough food. With salt.

Later, since General Qin's younger brother Qin Yiming was deprived of command by the emperor because of the First Kaifeng War, the Baigan Army returned to Shu and never came out again.

Firstly, it was because Zhang Bingzhong entered Sichuan at this time, and secondly, Feng Ying also entered Sichuan and started doing business with Shizhu Chieftain.

The emperor made many requests to General Qin to go out on the battlefield again, but he was rejected by General Qin on the grounds that he was too old to drive.

The emperor sent his trusted eunuchs to bring gifts to persuade General Qin, but failed and returned. After returning, he told the emperor that the owner of Shizhu Chieftain had become the one-eyed general Ma Xianglin.

In this case, the problem is very serious. Ma Xianglin has never left Shizhu Chieftain in the past two years. He drills soldiers and horses every day and hoards food and grass. He seems to have great ambitions.

Yun Zhao knew this, but Feng Ying seemed to know it better, because her poor relative of Shi Zhu came again.

Feng Ying always treated the poor relatives from Shizhu warmly. Not only would he buy the worthless goods they brought at high prices, but he would also take them to visit the scenic spots in Guanzhong.

Poor relatives like Yougu Mingquan are not rare. There are countless people in Sichuan who want this kind of place. Even the scenery of the village where they live is better than the carefully selected scenery in Guanzhong. .

The places of interest in their eyes are the Lantian Market, the restaurants in Lantian City, the wineries in Lantian City, the garment workshops in Lantian County, and even the lively streets in Lantian County.

Of course, Chang'an and the others liked it even more, especially after Feng Ying took this group of poor relatives to watch the song and dance performance at Mingyue Tower, they didn't really want to go back to Shizhu.

After all, what we eat here is dry white rice, oily fat meat, hot mutton, and fatty beef that can’t be seen if you bite it hard. As for the salted fish, that’s for the poor. Dishes to go with the meal...

After years of eating 'Wangwang Salt', they no longer want to live a hard life.

What’s more, Feng Ying, who they had watched grow up, became the queen!

Yes, the people who came to Shizhu Chieftain came to see Feng Ying.

The appearance of the poor relatives changes every year, and even Chu Chu doesn’t recognize some of them.

However, it doesn’t matter. As long as they are guests from Shizhu Tusi, Feng Ying and Chu Chu will treat them well.

Chu Chu no longer eats strips of meat.

Although after giving birth to two children, her waist became thicker and her pointed chin turned into a round chin, she is still beautiful, but a little more noble.

Seeing her poor relatives eating slivers of meat in a basin, Chu Chu gave a thumbs upThe poor relative who praised the deliciousness of the tiaozi meat a hundred times said: "Our Shizhu land is too barren. If we want to eat tiaozi meat every day, we have to move out of Shizhu."

"Move." Where? ”

The poor relatives who tried hard to eat tiaozi meat had a clear mind, and it was not because they were feeling dizzy after eating too much tiaozi meat.

"Kuizhou!"

"It's not a good place there. It's okay if you can go to Chengdu."

"General Qin promised you to go to Chengdu?" "

"No, General Qin lives in the fort and doesn't go out easily now. This is our idea. The young general also seems to have this intention."

"You want to rebel? "

The poor relative chuckled and said: "It's not a rebellion, it's not a rebellion. We just want to find a good place to farm, and it's best to eat strips of meat every day like you."

"According to imperial law, as long as the subordinates of Shizhu Xuanwei Division leave Shizhu, it will be considered a rebellion."

The poor relative stuffed a piece of fat meat into his mouth and ate it until his mouth was filled with oil. After getting down, he wiped the grease with his sleeve and said, "Isn't the emperor unable to take care of us?"

Chu Chu looked at this smart poor relative and said, "Do you want the whole of Chengdu, or just one piece?"

The poor relative said: "Of course it's the whole of Chengdu. If Shuzhong gives it to us, oh, Chongqing government can give it to you."

Chu Chu frowned and said: "This is young The general said?"

The poor relative waved his hands and said: "This is what we think."

Chu Chu said word by word: "My uncle may not want to."< /p>

"Why don't you want to? We are all a family."

Chu Chu smiled and said: "That's right, we are a family after all. Don't get stiff. You know that my uncle has a bad temper, so don’t say these things to my uncle, otherwise my lady will be in trouble.”

“Isn’t Feng Ying Yun Zhao’s queen? You can’t even do it?”

“My lady is a female after all. Don’t forget, there is another girl with a lot of money. My life is already difficult. If you, my mother-in-law, don’t help her, Even Shizhu Xuanwei Division, which he worked so hard to save, may not be able to keep it. "What? Immortal, Yun Yezhu even wants to annex Shizhu Xuanwei Division?" I want to kill you!"

Chu Chu smiled and said: "Stay well in Shizhu Xuanwei Division, don't go out, it's a great rule to protect your hometown, my uncle may not make it difficult for you, if you dare to leave Shizhu Come out, the family can't bear the consumption."

The poor relatives finally lost their appetite for meat.

After drinking a full bottle of wine, I hurriedly went to bed.

When Yun Zhao came home, Ma Xianglin's words to test Feng Ying had already been turned into words, and Qian Duoduo and Feng Ying were studying it.

Seeing that her husband had returned home, Feng Ying handed the document to Yun Zhao and said, "Ma Xianglin can't sit still."

Yun Zhao looked at it carefully and said: "It's okay to be unable to sit still. We are all heroes. If we face the situation of the Ming Dynasty, who can still sit still is not a hero." "

Qian Duoduo said: "He has a huge appetite and wants the whole of Shu. "

Yun Zhao waved his hand and said: "When Gao Jie's army enters Shuzhong, he won't think so. "

"Is it too late? "

"No, the preliminary training of Gao Jie's army has been completed and is in training. In six months, it will be fully equipped and marched into Shuzhong. By the end of the year, Shuzhong should be completely are within our control. ”

“Including Shizhu Toast?

Yun Zhao looked at Feng Ying and said in a low voice: "The whole world is not the king's land, and the shore of the land is not the king's ministers!" "

Feng Ying nodded and said: "I will try my best to persuade General Qin. I hope Chieftain Shizhu will not do anything like using a mantis as a chariot. "

Yun Zhao continued: "In the future, Shizhu Xuanwei Division will no longer exist, and there will only be a state capital there. ”

“Can the Shizhu Tusi Mansion exist? ”

“Does it cover an area of ​​more than a thousand acres? "

"No, the stockade is very big, but there are many people living there. The Tusi Watchtower covers an area of ​​less than ten acres, and including the city wall, it is only three hundred acres. "

Yun Zhao thought for a moment and said: "They can keep their ancestral property. This is my biggest concession. "

Feng Ying said: "That watchtower should be demolished by some means. Regardless of the terrain or the military's view, the existence of that watchtower is a great threat. I suggest that we still use it. The Ming Dynasty's policy of "returning the land to the locals" ordered the Ma family to move to Guanzhong. "

Yun Zhao looked at Feng Ying and said: "You don't have to do this. "

Feng Ying shook his head and said: "If I bring this matter up, Chieftain Shizhu may still have a chance to survive. Once Gao Jie and the others enter Shu, according to the habits of our Lantian army, the Ma family will Once you resist, it will definitely be the disaster of annihilation.

Qian Duoduo said on the side: "The land under the jurisdiction of Chieftain Shizhu is too barren. I suggest that it would be better for the whole family to move to Kuizhou. Anyway, Kuizhou is now sparsely populated, which can accommodate Shizhu." toast. ”

Yun Zhao felt that his two wives were more thoughtful than him.

A unified country should have a unified atmosphere and should not leave some side effects. It’s a pity for future generations.

If the founders can’t accomplish something, it will be more difficult for future generations.

It’s like a small tumor, if you cut it quickly. Cutting it off like a tangle will leave no chance for it to grow up and cause harm to the whole body. In the long run, no matter how painful it is to cut out the tumor, it will not be worse than cutting it out after it grows up.

Lantian County has been implementing a policy of relocating people in mountainous areas where life is relatively easy and transportation is relatively convenient. policy.

This policy can well guarantee the living standards of the people, and it can also play a very important role in strengthening management.

The deep mountains and old forests should be left to the wild animals to live, rather than letting people struggle to survive in that environment. This is not good for the wild animals and does not do much good for the people.

After discussing with Feng Ying and Qian Duoduo, the job was handed over to Qian Shaoshao to control Ma Xianglin.

There are already a large number of Lantian forces in Sichuan. It is easy to implement an economic blockade of Shizhu Xuanwei Division without using force.

Han Lingshan believes that Ma Xianglin’s ambition was actually fed by Lantian County.

It is an evil to make a poor place with no food to eat and have clothes to wear.

Now, when Shizhu Xuanweisi returns to poverty, Ma Xianglin may not have such big ambitions.

After Chu Chu smiled and took her poor relatives to eat their last meal of sliver meat, she gave many gifts and sent these poor relatives on their way home.

These poor relatives are very satisfied. What they don’t know is that this last banquet of strips of meat will be the last banquet they eat in ten years until Ma Xianglin’s rule in Shizhu. After poverty fell apart, they could eat delicious siaozi meat again.

Zhang Guozhu came back, and Yun Zhao held a banquet to welcome him.

This simple idealist asked himself what his next job would be the first time he met Yun Zhao. He sneered at the banquet hosted by Yun Zhao and said that what he needed now was not Not a meal, but a job!

In his opinion, drinking is drinking. Everyone picks up a jar of wine and drinks it in one go. Therefore, after he drank six jars of wine in a hurry, he understood the content of his new job. , and left.

Looking at Zhang Guozhu's slightly swaying back, Yun Zhao looked at those present, Han Lingshan and Qian Shaoshao, Duan Guoren said angrily: "Look at this guy!"

Han Ling Shan picked his teeth and said: "This man will definitely die of exhaustion in the future."

Yun Zhao said coldly: "But everyone in the world will remember his name."

Han Lingshan said angrily: "I can do it too!"

Yun Zhao pointed at a stone mountain behind Bald Mountain and said: "If you really reach this point, I will order all of us to be killed." The head is carved out of that mountain!”
