"This is not a reason. In the final analysis, you do too little and have too narrow a vision. You are thinking about how to resettle the victims, just to relieve Mi Zhen."
Xuanyu Feng took a sip of tea and said with a half-smile, "But have you ever thought about it? You solved this problem with this method today, and if there are several more natural and man-made disasters over there, will you use it again and again? The identity of the princess of the county forces the prominent people in Western Xinjiang to pay for their money? In the long run, even if they want to please the powerful people, they will not be able to bear it! What about then? Do you come alone? You can't help but see that, They use this method just to empty out your and Mi Zhen’s wealth, right?”
Sheng Weiqiao said: "I know, my aunt said that we can take advantage of the opportunity to do business, and she also wants to win over the prominent people who provide the money, and those who can sell the special products to us. As long as they get the benefits from it, they must take the initiative to protect us. In this way Those people in the Meng family want to stir up trouble, but it’s not that easy!”
"Both of you are kind-hearted, but I also have some thoughts that I would like to remind you of." Seeing Xuan Yu Feng nodding with satisfaction, Master Wu, who had not spoken for a while, suddenly said, "You two have thought of something. The thing is that although the princess of the county has ready manpower, the caravan can be formed quickly. However, the development of trade routes and profit-making cannot be seen in a day or two. Especially since Xijiang is thousands of miles away from Chang'an, it takes a long time for the caravan to go back and forth. Monthly plan. However, Meng Jiaqian and others are very convenient in causing natural and man-made disasters. If this is not solved, they will only be led by the nose!"
Sheng Weiqiao and Xuan Yufeng were stunned for a moment and looked at Master Wu: "Master Wu, do you want to deal with Meng Jiaqian and others? But this is not what the female relatives in our backyard can do."
They didn't discuss this at all, not that they had any resentment towards the Meng family, but they acquiesced that Rong Suihe should be responsible for this matter.
Master Wu smiled: "Why do you two need to belittle yourselves? Let the three of us discuss this trivial matter. Not only will we avoid future troubles, we will at least make the Meng family suffer as much trouble!"
Sheng Weiqiao and Xuan Yufeng both became curious and urged her to explain.
"It's very simple. Ten percent of the victims of this disaster are caused by the Meng family. Because the prince is the governor and has the responsibility to care for the people, he has to watch the princess take over this job." Master Wu said slowly. Said, "We have not received any news about the victims in advance. If we go to investigate thoroughly now, we may not be able to find any solid clues; secondly, it will be easy for the Meng family to spread rumors about our understanding of the situation of the victims." If you don’t take it seriously, you’ll be thinking about intrigues all day long. In this way, even if the victims are resettled later, it will be difficult to get recognition and gratitude.”
Master Wu smiled slightly when he said this, "It's just that we didn't catch the victims of the disaster this time. What if it happens again and we catch it? No matter what the Meng family does, will they give up? This is a way to create disasters and force the king and princess to deal with the consequences. After all, as long as something similar happens, we can directly put the blame on them, right?"
Seeing Sheng Weiqiao and Xuan Yu Feng nodding their heads, the headmaster added, "After too many charges were filed, the public resentment boiled over, such as attacking government offices, killing officials, and setting fire to camps... Anyway, the government forced the people to rebel, and they were rebels. What can't a person do? If the county king puts down the rebellion and works for the Meng family, they can get another share of the credit, right?"
Sheng Weiqiao and Xuan Yufeng looked at each other, with the same meaning in their eyes: Those who engage in banditry are indeed more ruthless than those who do business!
"I helped them collect their bodies, and also helped with their family property, which is a matter of course." Master Wu glanced at Xuan Yu Feng, probably thinking that the old lady was from a business background, and her first priority was profit, so she added One sentence.
"Master, I don't know what kind of thing you are talking about..." Sheng Weiqiao thought carefully for a while and asked cautiously, "If it's too desolate, I'm afraid it's not appropriate?"
She just wanted to help Rong Suihe confront the Meng family, but she was still very resistant to dragging innocent people into trouble.
Especially when the Meng family attacked them, thousands of victims were killed. God knows how many people here who could have lived a good life not only had their homes destroyed, but even lost their lives in a daze, leaving the entire family behind. Relief, most likely the family reunited on the road to Huangquan.
Sheng Weiqiao couldn't bear to do this.
Facing her look of "I always appreciate you, please don't let me down", Master Wu was silent for a moment, thinking that they were indeed a couple. Before, Rong Suihe said, "If there is a war, I will be fine with you." She had only questioned the prince's character when she was serving as governor to "control the army." Just a few days later, it was her turn to be so doubted by the princess!
The princess and her husband are so fast!
"Don't worry, princess. I grew up in Western Xinjiang. Even though I have been a bandit for many years, I am still a native of this place." Master Wu calmed down and said, "How can I be so mad as to be cruel to the elders in my hometown?"
He added, "It's just a preliminary idea at this moment. How to do it specifically, after all, we have to wait until we enter the government, get the map, and then ask the military advisor to analyze it carefully, and finally inform the two of them, and get their approval. Will do it.”
Sheng Weiqiao was relieved, but he still persuaded her tactfully. The main content of the persuasion was: "Although you used to be a bandit, but now you are a member of the imperial court after being recruited, you should change your ways and see the beautiful side of life." From now on, work hard to protect the common people instead of continuing to think about burning, killing and looting all day long... "
Headmaster Wu's mouth twitched when he heard this. If it weren't for the fact that she was the princess of the county, he would have wanted to hit her on the back of the head to shut her up. Fortunately, the carriage had already entered the city at this time. After all, this border city was not as prosperous as Chang'an. Even though Yizhou, as the capital of Western Xinjiang, was the largest and most prosperous city in Western Xinjiang, it didn't take long for the carriage to stop in front of the governor's office.
Because the successor of the previous governor was a county prince, the legitimate son of the King of Gaomi, and the prospective heir favored by the second Shu in the palace, he did not dare to neglect and moved out early. He only lived in a separate courtyard he purchased in the city, and also supervised The few official servants left behind in the mansion were cleaning every day and were not allowed to slack off.
So now Rong Suihe and his party arrived. The two stewards and the guards went in first, looked around inside and out, and then went out to ask the masters to get off their horses and serve tea inside.
While the people below were busy arranging their luggage, Sheng Weiqiao originally wanted to go to Rong Shuihe to discuss whether the strategy the three of them discussed on the carriage was feasible. However, at this time, the previous governor received the news and came over with Rong Shuihe with documents, seals and other items. Sleeping Crane handed over.
The former governor had received the transfer order long ago and only waited for the handover to be completed before leaving for his post. Because Rong Suihe and his party had many people and things, and they fought repeatedly with Meng on the way, they walked very slowly. He had been waiting for a long time. of.
If the imperial court hadn't considered the long journey to Western Xinjiang and had given him a particularly long date to take office, he would have been unable to wait and left first.
Now that Rong Sleeping Crane finally arrived, he naturally ignored the fact that the boxes and cages of the group had not yet been placed, so he hurriedly came over to complete the procedures and put an end to this worry.
Rong Suihe and the governor had never met before, but they were his predecessors after all, and he was older. He had stayed in Western Xinjiang for many years. After finishing the business, he looked at the sky and invited the other party to stay for a casual banquet. By the way, I want to ask about the situation in Western Xinjiang... Although he can ask other people about this situation later, and there are considerable documents, it is not as profound and detailed as an old official who has been the governor here for more than 20 years.
Originally, the governor was a little hesitant, because firstly he was in a hurry to leave for his post, and secondly he did not want to get involved in the fight between the King of Gaomi and the Meng family. However, when he was about to refuse, he caught a glimpse of Yiliu who came in to report a trivial matter to Rong Suihe. Yiliu was busy with other things at this time and had not had time to wash up. However, even though she was covered with travel dust, she was born with beauty that she could not give up. Beauty, enchanting and graceful.
Especially when she didn't dare to make mistakes in front of Rong Suihe, her behavior was extremely dignified and solemn. In the eyes of some people, such as the governor in front of her, she was even more tempting. She couldn't move her eyes away immediately and nodded without saying a word. !
Rong Suihe could see it clearly, and when he ordered the banquet to be held, he asked someone to go to the back and tell Sheng Weiqiao: "The kabuki I bought in Chang'an, those who are good at it should be cleaned up quickly, and we will serve the banquet tonight."
Although Yi Liu didn't care about sacrificing his innocence for him, he still had to consider that it was not easy to cultivate women in Wuyi Camp. A mere former governor was not qualified to send such a direct lineage.
After Sheng Weiqiao sent a trickster as instructed, she gave up the idea of discussing countermeasures with her husband tonight, because today they were on their way and met Meng Jiaqian and others at Shili Changting. The son also had to receive the former governor, and even though it was not too late for the governor to leave, he was still too tired.
So she, Xuan Yu, Feng and Master Wu had dinner in the back, took a hasty bath, and then went into the inner room to settle down... Although the house and bed in the Governor's Mansion were not as gorgeous or comfortable as hers in Chang'an. There was also the boudoir comparison in Nanfeng County, but after walking for such a long time, she finally arrived. This sudden sense of solidity and the fatigue of the day made her fall asleep quickly.
This sleep was very sweet, and the next morning... well, it wasn't too early. As usual, I didn't get up until three o'clock in the morning. By this time, Rong Suihe must have gone out to do errands. Sheng Weiqiao asked someone to come in and wash up. He asked about last night's banquet: "How was it? You didn't neglect me, did you?"
But she saw Juli, who was combing her long hair, with a strange expression on her face. She thought for a while and then said, "No."
After a while, he added, "I heard that when the gentleman left, he was full of praise for the trickster who served him last night... He kept praising him until the prince agreed to give the trickster to him, and then he left happily! The deed of the prostitute just now has been taken from this slave."
Sheng Weiqiao: "..."
None of the tricks she bought looked familiar to her, and just one of them was gone!
Moreover, what kind of person is this? He wants to beg for a trick after a simple banquet, or he is asking for it with the successor prince... This is not lustful, he is so lustful that he doesn't even look at him!
Such a person has been in charge of Yizhou for more than 20 years, and coupled with Ni Jidao's generals who work hard to get free pay, how can the Western Xinjiang Army or Yizhou be good? !
In the past few years, Western Xinjiang has been peaceful and peaceful. This is really a sign that the ancestors of the Mu Dynasty are alive in heaven!
When Sheng Weiqiao thought of this, he suddenly felt something in his heart: Even if most Ruru people had almost forgotten that they had been attacking important towns in northern Xinjiang for a long time and detouring to western Xinjiang for sneak attacks decades ago, now that his grandfather can tell the story to the new year The young ones listen to themselves. Who knows if there will be similar old people in Ruru who will tell the younger generations about this
At this moment, the military and political affairs in Western Xinjiang are so corrupt. Even if they know that Ruru is coming, how can they stop them
"..." Her face was solemn for a moment, and she felt that she might be scaring herself, because judging from the recent battle reports, Ruru was still making every effort to attack Northern Xinjiang, without any sign of dividing her troops.
After exhaling, Sheng Weiqiao patted his cheek hard, saying that predicting the situation of the war was not what he was good at. There was no need to rush into it at the moment. It was better to take one step at a time and resettle the victims first!
