In the past two years, the Sword Master has come to understand more and more that he only knows how to use the sword.
In other aspects, I have too many shortcomings.
So,
he couldn't understand what Zheng Fan and Sun Youdao meant by shouting from a distance.
Of course, the literal meaning is definitely easy to understand.
For celebrities, the most widely spread are often some of their hobbies, and the more down-to-earth the hobbies are, the easier they are to be spread, because it is the "earth energy" that helps them spread their fame.
The saying "Uncle Hirano is a good wife" has long been no secret.
This is a feat that in the eyes of the real high-level leaders, snatching back the Princess of Da Chu, boosts the prestige of our country and undermines the prestige of other countries.
And in some lower-level restaurants and teahouses, it has become another condiment in the conversation of the traffickers and lackeys.
Hey,
You still tell me that it is nonsense to slander Mr. Hirano, a good wife?
Then take a look, take a look,
Why did Uncle Hirano wait until the princess’s wedding day before going to snatch her bride?
Of course, as Uncle Zheng’s neighbor, the Sword Master knew what Uncle Zheng was like.
Uncle Zheng is a man with many problems. He also likes to enjoy things, but he never indulges in them. He has a sense of dabbling in things.
So, the sword master instinctively felt that there was another meaning in this simple conversation. As for what it meant, he didn't know.
The Savage King understood it.
He had long seen that Uncle Hirano had always been a "thief who never steals from the sky". To put it in layman's terms, he meant killing someone, even if it was a person. The woodcutter should also touch the corpse. Although it is unlikely to find anything good, this process and this sense of ritual are indispensable.
Uncle Zheng said earlier that he would gather his female relatives after the Sun family is exterminated, which means that your family is about to be exterminated for the crime of treason. Now that I am here, if you can be like the Jiaofang Si If my slave girl serves me like that, then we still have something to talk about.
And when Sun Youdao said that he was looking for a face for his old concubine to give to Uncle Hirano, he did not really mean that he wanted to give away his fifty-year-old concubine. After all, he dared to give it away, and so did Uncle Zheng. Impossible.
Sun Youdao's implicit meaning is to compare the old concubine to himself. He is already seventy years old and has retired, just like the beauty in the past. If Uncle Zheng doesn't dislike it, he still feels that his old body is still strong. If it was of some use, he would be willing to devote himself to serving her like a concubine.
The Savage King squinted his eyes,
Two old foxes,
could smell each other’s body odor from a long distance apart.
Uncle Zheng smiled "hehe",
and was about to move forward,
but he stopped again.
The Sword Master sighed and took the first step into the hall.
Uncle Zheng followed closely.
People,
Be cautious, that’s right.
After all, it’s no longer time to go barefoot. It’s hard to work hard to get to this position, so you have to cherish your blessings.
Uncle Zheng did not want that a few years later, a Yanguo poet would sigh: But the snow will fly over the sea...
Because the sun is setting, the hall is full of snow. There were no lights on, so it was a little dark.
Sun Youdao did not sit at the front seat, but sat at the bottom.
He is indeed old, but his body and bones are still strong. When he sits there, a calm aura flows through him. After all, he is the former prime minister.
Uncle Zheng didn't sit up either, but sat down opposite Sun Youdao.
The Savage King stood behind Uncle Zheng,
The Sword Master sat down next to him.
"Actually, I have wanted to see Uncle Hirano for a long time, but I have been suffering from the lack of opportunity. Who would have thought that I would meet him today, but actually in such a scene;
Uncle Hirano is laughing at his incompetence in teaching his son.”
“It’s too polite for Taifu Sun to say these things. In fact, I have admired Taifu Sun for a long time. I finally came to Yingdu and thought about it. I would like to find an opportunity to come and visit you.
But you have become an official and there are no outsiders, so I had no choice but to let my soldiers bump into the lintel of your noble master's door. I ended up with a misunderstanding, so I could find a way to go to see Taifu Sun to apologize, wouldn't I? If you don't pay attention, this thing will break and it will be a big hit."
The sword master on the side reached out and picked up the preserved fruits placed in front of him, eating and listening at the same time.
In this direct dialogue between two old foxes, every sentence and expression has a metaphor and a hidden connection, just like the ever-changing changes in the way of the sword, and each change can make people remember it for a long time.
Sun Youdao raised his glass and paid tribute to Uncle Zheng:
"Old man, please drink a full glass first to apologize."
After that,
< p>He drank it all.The Sun family was having a birthday party earlier, so there were wine and food on the table in front of everyone. The food was cold, but there was still wine.
Uncle Zheng watched Sun Youdao finish his drink, but he still sat still.
Sun Youdao put down his wine glass and made a "please" gesture to Uncle Zheng.
Uncle Zheng shook his head and said:
"When I was a child, I had a bad stomach and was always upset. Later I learned to behave and stopped eating outside."
< p>"Hahahaha, uncle is such a wonderful person, frank and direct."After Sun Youdao finished laughing,
his eyes fell on the sword master sitting next to Zheng Fan.
He,
recognizes the sword master.
“Having a famous sword next to you and holding 20,000 tiger swords in your hand is such a heroic spirit that even an old man yearns for it.”
“Let’s talk about the weather and the sunset. AgainLet's talk about the stars, and let's talk about the turmoil in the red tent in Yingdu. It's okay, I have plenty of time. ”
I have time,
You have no time.
This is not really calling the clock,
it is calling the roll call Taking the initiative in the conversation.
Sun Youdao nodded and said: "There are some words that I always don't know how to say. It's not that I deliberately want to pave the way. ”
“A friend of my uncle once told me that in this world, as long as both parties are sincere, there is no deal that cannot be negotiated.” "
"But His Highness the Sixth Prince? "
"Exactly. ”
“Yes, that old man, let’s be honest. His family is unfortunate, and he has such a rebellious son. He doesn’t seek wealth in the first place, he just wants the family to be passed on safely.”
I dare to ask my uncle,
This catastrophe,
Does the Sun family still have a chance to survive this calamity? ”
This is Sun Youdao’s request. Doing business is to exchange what you have.
What do you need, what do you have, what do I need, what do I have, but there is one thing that can be achieved , the other one, even if it cannot be connected perfectly, can always find another way to make up for it.
Zheng Fan nodded,
said:
"Yes. . "
When Sun Youdao heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief without any concealment.
"Uncle, what do you want Sun to do? ”
Sun Youdao did not foolishly ask what kind of treatment he would get after going through this hurdle like his own son.
Is it a man entering the palace from the palace and a woman entering the teaching workshop? Secretary.
Because Sun Youdao knew in his heart that there was no need to ask. Although the Sun family was not prosperous due to his relationship, it was still a top family in Yingdu. , still has great influence.
Otherwise, how could his eldest son, who was disabled, unite so many forces to plot a rebellion?
But the Sun family is not like that. From a wealthy family, it is impossible to get money and other things, and if you do, Renping Yebo may not appreciate it.
I can give you what Renping Yebo wants. To do something, the premise must be that his family still maintains this status in Yingdu. Otherwise, will it be possible for Uncle Hirano to go to Jiaofangsi to collect debts?
The Sun family must be saved first, so that Uncle Hirano can succeed later? Sun Youdao saw it clearly.
In this situation, it was a good deal for him because he received the goods first.
Uncle Zheng shook his head slightly.< /p>
Said:
"Uncle, I actually don’t know what I want to buy. To be fair to the master, my coming to Sun Mansion at this time is like going to the Lantern Festival Lantern Festival, so I will leave. I just walked around and looked around. When I went out, I didn’t think about what I wanted to buy.
But if you really see something rare, you will be tempted to take it in your pocket. ”
Sun Youdao pointed outHe nodded and said:
"Then let me sort it out and see if there is anything here that would make Uncle Hirano feel rare."
Zheng Fan Smile back.
I promise you can save the Sun family, but only if you give a sufficient price.
The Sword Master suddenly felt,
It was obviously a very serious and high-level matter,
But after the old man and the young man changed hands like this, it seemed that there was peace. It makes no difference when your wife goes to the market to buy fabrics.
There is often a joke among the people, saying that the old farmer thought that the emperor could eat twenty oil buns in the morning, which was very beautiful.
Of course the emperor would not eat twenty fried steamed buns, but for the son of the emperor to compete for the heir apparent, to put it bluntly, it is no different from how several children from a private family compete for their ancestral home.
The sword master closed his eyes and stopped eating the preserved fruit. He felt that these things were really boring.
The Savage King on the side seemed to be standing there motionless with a calm expression, but in his heart, he had already thought about it.
Sun Youdao, what price will he pay?
The Savage King likes to figure out people's hearts and is also good at maneuvering. At this time, he naturally put himself into Sun Youdao's position to help him think about the problem.
Now, it is no longer the Dacheng Kingdom, and Sun Youdao has retired from office and retired behind the scenes.
Even if we wipe out the incident of this rebellion and think that the Sun family will not be implicated in this rebellion at all, the Sun family actually can’t offer much that is enough to attract their uncle. price tag.
First, because my uncle's status is no longer low;
Second, because the Sun family is not the Sun family in its heyday.
If it is just a "cooperation between inside and outside", the Sun family will provide help when you want to rebel in the future.
The Savage King felt that his uncle would never agree to this unless he was out of his mind.
Furthermore, Sun Youdao is not stupid enough to use such illusory things as price, otherwise he would be looking down on others.
The consequence of looking down on others is that Uncle Hirano will walk away with his sleeves, and the Sun family will be waiting for the whole family to answer questions.
Zheng Fan is actually waiting.
He doesn’t know exactly what he wants, but he always wants to try his luck out of habit.
It’s a free lottery ticket, and it’s idle, and it’s useless if you don’t scratch it.
Sun Youdao did not think for too long.
He looked at Uncle Zheng and
spoke.
When he said these words,
Uncle Zheng’s eyes suddenly froze, and the Savage King also opened his mouth slightly.
Both of them sighed the same way in their hearts: He is indeed a man who can stand behind Situ Lei.
Even the sword master sitting next to him felt that Sun Youdao's price seemed to have really hit something. To be precise, it hit the great Yanping Yebo sitting next to him. .
Sun Youdao’s words are:
p>"The imperial court will transport food and wages to Xue Customs twice a year, once in the middle of the year and once at the end of the year. Immediately, a new round of food and salary transportation will begin. The old man assured the uncle that from this time, The amount of food shipped to Snow Customs will be twice the original amount!”
Twice!
Food and salary transportation has always been a difficult problem.
There are two main points.
One is the loss in the takeover process.
Another point is the consumption during transportation.
The loss in the takeover process is that after the grain is collected from farmers, it is first in the county, then goes to the government, and then it may have to be transported to another place for centralized storage, and then either to Either the capital will be sent to the destination.
After waiting for a place, it is a centralized point and then distributed. This is to say the least.
At every step, someone will use their hands. You peel a layer of skin, and he peels a layer of skin, and then the local boss will peel a layer of skin, and the general will peel a layer of skin. When it was in the hands of front-line soldiers, it was pretty good that the core could still remain intact.
Even in the time and space that Uncle Zheng is familiar with, things like geese plucking their hair cannot be avoided.
Another point is transportation. First of all, large quantities of grain must be transported by people. The more grain, the more people and animals need to be transported. Both people and animals have to eat during transportation.
Therefore, in order to avoid losses and maximize efficiency, basically the food and salary transportation for the entire Chengguo garrison starts from Yingdu, which is the core and most central place of the Chengguo. area for dispatch.
Of course, the imperial court is still responsible for customizing the quotas for each army.
"Twice?"
Hearing this number, Uncle Zheng was moved.
Although Uncle Zheng can maintain 20,000 elite cavalry in Xuehaiguan, he relies not only on the food and salary from the court, but also on his own plundering of family property and the subsequent business operations.
But if the food and salary can be doubled, the extra part should be enough to raise another 10,000 cavalry.
Of course it's not like this. After all, money and food can't transform a living person on their own, but it's like a person who has eaten a few more mouthfuls of food and gained a few more strength. Finally, after finishing the work at the employer's house, I can go home and tidy up my own yard.
This is the level of Sun Youdao.
To be able to think of this method of "buying life" in such a short period of time, the former Prime Minister of Dacheng Kingdom is indeed worthy of his reputation.
But Uncle Zheng is not in a hurry to express his position.
Are you talking about business?
You are eager to want it, so you are attracted by it.
What's more, the lives of everyone in the family are in my hands. Do I need to be anxious?
Sun Youdao continued:
"The dog is Ren Yingdu's transfer envoy..."
Official position and errand do not actually mean the same thing.Because official positions are divided into real and virtual positions.
Some official positions sound more like an honor.
Just like Sun Youdao at this time, his position as Taifu of Chengguo is actually an honor, allowing you to enjoy retirement benefits at this level.
Uncle Zheng’s great general of Chengguo is also an honor. If Chengguo is gone, whose army will you take?
As for the transfer envoy, it is a real job. Although the official position is not high, the affairs he handles are many.
Because the eastern part of Chengguo has been facing threats from barbarians and Chu people, the main force of the Jingnan Army of Jingnan Marquis has been stationed in eastern Shanxi.
So, the transport envoy was actually responsible for receiving the military supplies transported from Yan State, Quhe City, and Litian City to Yingdu, and the distribution after receipt also passed through his hands.
You must know that military supplies have always been the lifeblood of an army.
Sun Youdao once served as the prime minister of Chengguo. Starting from Zhennan Pass, Situ Lei was fighting in the front, and he was in the rear raising and transporting military supplies. The cooperation between the two was similar to that of Pei Gong and Xiao He.
After the death of Situ Lei,
Whether it was the eldest prince or the Marquis of Jingnan who commanded the Eastern Expeditionary Army,
they all used the original bureaucracy of the country. To carry out the operation of military supplies for the army,
Sun Youdao took charge of the overall situation in the rear and solved the worries for Marquis Jingnan. Even the Marquis praised him.
So, Sun Youdao is in this area, no, to be precise, this area should be Sun Youdao's direct area. The entire top and bottom should be people he promoted and appointed, otherwise, he would not Push Sun Liang to that position before he retires.
"Uncle, there are many troops stationed in Chengguo, and the food and salary received and distributed are also very large, but I am sure that I can do this.
Firstly, open source, in order to The Imperial Court of Dayan used more pen and ink when reporting its needs. When receiving military supplies from Litian City and Quhe City, some items and losses could be more ugly.
Two things. , To save money, if the uncle wants to eat enough, if he wants to be able to eat, then the food and pay for the troops stationed in other places will have to choke their necks, so that they can't eat enough, but they won't be so hungry that they can only sulk, not If a big mess breaks out, Lao Chen is confident that he can handle it.
There is a third one,
That is Su Ben.
According to the old rules. In a city as big as Yingdu, there are so many people and officials who all need to eat. If the people are fine, if they don’t starve to death, nothing will happen.
But the officials will not eat well. If it is not done well, it will be easy to cause trouble.
So, it is the same everywhere in the world. The military supplies brought into Yingdu from all places and then out of Yingdu will definitely be distributed.
This piece of meat can be cut into anything.”
Yingdu is originally a small court,
and,
it’s big. Yan currently does not pay the full amount of food and salary to the troops stationed in various places. This is why YingduNaturally, the salaries of the hundreds of officials here and more officials below are not sufficient.
But how can a living person suffocate to death, regardless of the red, purple, black and blue official robes, as long as he has entered the yamen, he can do nothing else, but making money and benefits, this is the basic Survivability is indispensable.
Hearing this third point,
Uncle Zheng smiled,
The troops stationed in various places have always been easy to be manipulated by the quartermaster. Strange, besides, as long as there is no war, everyone can always find ways to make up for it, but...
"Does the Sun family still have the ability to attack Yingdu now?"
Sun Youdao nodded, not at all depressed, but in high spirits,
said:
"There are countless people involved in this rebellion. Afterwards, those who were responsible for dereliction of duty will be punished even more." It's a vast area. If you cut off some people and demote some, this official hat will have to fall.
At this time of change, arrange more of your own people to control the general situation. < /p>
It will be much easier to cut again.
The Savage King standing on one side subconsciously licked his lips at this time.
Phew,
The old man in front of me is indeed his opponent back then!
What shocked the Savage King was not the old man’s tactics. In fact, everyone can do this kind of suppression of dissidents and support of cronies, but some do it in an ugly way. After someone does it, you still think he is unfair. Ah;
But the old man in front of me
a moment ago his family was shrouded in the crime of treason and could be overturned at any time.
Now,
He actually took this Yingdu rebellion as an opportunity and planned to take advantage of it!
It seems like a simple switching of eyes, but
it contains a real sense of grandeur!
"Uncle, in fact, since last year, the military supplies shipped here by the Imperial Household Department and shipped to Xue Customs have all been stamped with stamps."
Tip stamps. What it means is that this batch of military supplies is being watched by someone above. If you want to eat it, go and eat the others. This portion is not allowed to be touched.
Dare to move,
Okay,
Let’s chat.
In the time and space that Uncle Zheng is familiar with, it is a special fund.
Sun Youdao naturally knew who had the final say in the Yan household department at this time, and what was the relationship between that person and the uncle in front of him.
But there is no need to say it clearly at this time, because he is not qualified now.
"Uncle, in this way, there will be people taking care of you at the court, and there will be people in the area for your use. In this way, Snow Customs will definitely have enough food and grass."
Uncle Zheng The master nodded slightly,
This is called,
Two-pronged milk?
"Uncle, I don't want to say anything like being a lackey. It's meaningless. But I only have one wish and don't ask for anything."The children and grandchildren are rich and powerful, and I just want them to be able to pass on the family smoothly.
There should be more than this that I can do for my uncle. Apart from that, please wait and see about the rest of the matters. It is all due to my sincerity.
Sun Ying will be grounded and locked in a secret room at home, and will not be allowed to leave the house for even a step in her life.
As for the children and grandchildren,
the old man has nothing to say or pat his chest on. They are generally not up to par, and it is difficult for them to do anything for my uncle.
The old man can only protect himself.
As long as he lives for one more day,
he will always be grateful for his uncle's grace of survival.
Just like what the uncle said at the beginning, he wanted to deliberately find a way to apologize to the old man so that he could meet and talk.
The old man returned what he said,
I think this time the Sun family is deliberately looking for a way to get on your uncle's boat.
You don’t need cabin berths.
Just leave half a space on the deck for spreading straw mats. ”
Uncle Zheng stood up,
stretched his muscles a few times,
it was fine during the battle, and his body was not pretentious,
But on weekdays, he basically lay down and leaned on whatever he could. He just sat on his knees with Sun Youdao for a while, and it was really uncomfortable.
Uncle Zheng didn't say anything.
< p>He walked directly out of the hall.The sword master also stood up. He actually didn't know whether the deal was settled or broken.
Is it possible that he still has to go back? Consider it?
But can you consider the rebellion?
It is impossible to say that all the Sun family will be sentenced to death tonight.
But Sun Youdao is sitting here. He didn't move, and didn't ask Uncle Zheng what he meant. He just poured himself another glass of wine and said to himself:
"My birthday is going to be interesting today." ”
The Sword Master looked at the Savage King, but the Savage King just smiled at the Sword Master and made the move you requested.
Joke,
Savage Wang didn't dare to speak to the sword master at this time, and it was in front of Sun Youdao!
This is an old fox. Standing here, he certainly can't see anything, but he can't say much. Those words might reveal his identity!
Unable to figure it out, the Sword Master stood up and followed Zheng Fan out of the hall.
In the yard outside the hall,
Sun Liang was still kneeling there, his posture unchanged.
Sun Ying was lying on the ground with his hands on his back, listening. When there was a movement, she turned her head and looked at Uncle Zheng who came out.
Uncle Zheng's face was calm, and Sun Ying could not tell whether the negotiation was over or over.
Uncle Zheng looked calm. p>
Sun Liang also raised his head at this time, glanced at Uncle Zheng, and then lowered his head again. His face was full of tears and snot.
Don’t laugh, <. /p>
Who was so happy just now?Xingdi celebrates his father's birthday and suddenly faces the situation of killing his whole family, which will make everyone collapse.
Uncle Zheng walked up to Sun Ying and stopped.
Sun Ying raised her head and looked at Uncle Zheng.
Uncle Zheng uttered two words:
"Lower your head."
Sun Ying opened her mouth and lowered her head.
“Kneel down.”
Sun Ying said: “Ying is disabled and can’t kneel down, so why don’t you ask me to...”
“Then "I fell to the ground."
Sun Ying turned her head, glanced at her brother kneeling beside her, closed her eyes, and slowly put her hands, feet, and chin on the ground.
"See Uncle Hirano."
Uncle Zheng's mouth curved,
he said:
"The Sun family Sun Ying secretly met with Ben to report the rebels in advance, and cooperated with Benbury to wipe out the rebels, so that Ben was able to eliminate the evil atmosphere in Yingdu in one fell swoop. I will write to your majesty to ask for credit!"
