Ninety-ninth bowl of soup dream (5)
Feng Ruyuan and Zhang Wenzheng are two extremes. Zhang Wenzheng wanted to kill Song Jin, and poisoned him simply and rudely. It's like returning to the capital.
Of course, Feng Ruyuan won't get anything from him. On the contrary, he has to voluntarily surrender in order to save his life temporarily.
"... I heard that in the sixteen prefectures of Western Xinjiang, the people of the Zhou Dynasty are no match for the barbarians, and the barbarians are noble people. Is there such a thing?"
Song Jin asked lightly, Feng Ruyuan immediately trembled all over, he said with a dry smile: "What are you talking about, my lord, how can Hu people compare with us Zhou people? They burn, kill, loot and do all kinds of crimes, the lower officials can say to them It’s hatred to the bone, how could it be possible for them to oppress the people of our Great Zhou?!”
"Really?" Song Jin tapped his slender knuckles on the table, and smiled slightly, but there was no smile in his eyes, which was unpredictable. "Since this is the case, Master Feng will definitely post the king's notice in Xijiang."
Notice? What notice
Feng Ru was stunned for a moment, but then he saw the outstanding young man next to King Xijiang handing over a written notice, and he took it, only glanced at it twice before trembling all over. The king of Xijiang is going to do something! And it's going to be a big deal! Today, in the sixteen prefectures of Western Xinjiang, there are many Hu people. They are rampant in Western Xinjiang, do not treat Zhou people as human beings, and even wantonly trample on Zhou people. Feng Ruyuan naturally knew about this, but the fire didn't burn himself, he didn't want to cause trouble at all, if the barbarian likes to make trouble, he can't make trouble with him anyway.
However, this notice from the king of Xijiang clearly stated that all the Hu people would be expelled from Xijiang, and all the Hu people who remained in the sixteen prefectures of Xijiang after three days would be killed.
This light and thin piece of paper was held by Feng Ruyuan, but it seemed to weigh a thousand catties. He suddenly felt his body go limp, and he collapsed to the ground. "My lord, you can't do it, you can't do it! These Huren, Huren are not all bad people. There are thousands of Huren in the sixteen prefectures of Western Xinjiang. If they are all killed, this, this is not the case. Declare war on the barbarians?!"
Song Jin laughed lightly, he seldom smiled, especially to someone like Feng Ruyuan. "Didn't the king give them three days to leave the sixteen prefectures in Western Xinjiang? They left obediently, so naturally they wouldn't die."
This method is a bit tougher, but it must be so at the moment. There was no bloodshed, no killing, and there was no way to reason with those savage barbarians by relying on gentle means. Feng Ruyuan is still quibbling and procrastinating here, but he dare not do it. He has a private deal with the barbarians, and once he issues a notice, the barbarians will definitely regard him as breaking the contract, and his life will be at stake.
"Master Feng, you can rest assured that the prince will send someone to protect you, and you will be fine." Qing Huan stepped forward to help the limp Master Feng, her smile was naturally more kind and gentle than that of Song Jin, But not at all soft-hearted. "Of course, the prince cares about the people of Xijiang. When he comes to Xijiang this time, he will naturally change Xijiang's appearance. Among them, Mr. Feng's assistance is indispensable. Please don't refuse, Mr. Feng."
decline
How dare he refuse? Does he have the guts to refuse? Feng Ruyuan almost burst into tears, as if he saw the happy days drifting away and could never catch them again. What else did you say to protect him... is it simply to monitor him? If that's the case, he won't even be able to communicate with the imperial court!
Feng Ruyuan was wrong on this point. Song and Jin never thought of stopping him from communicating with the court, and even asked Feng Ruyuan to continue sending letters back—Xijiang is now his territory. In this land, he is the one who has the final say. Here the sky is high and the emperor is far away, how could the new emperor think that such a place can trap him
Just as Song Jin thought in his heart, he was a stunningly talented person. If he hadn't never been wary of the new emperor, and the previous emperor died suddenly, the new emperor quickly forced the palace to ascend the throne and isolated him at the palace gate In addition, he was not even allowed to see the last face of the late emperor, he was even exiled to Xijiang, made some kind of king of Xijiang, and sent countless groups of killers to kill him on the way to Xijiang—then, now The Song and Jin Dynasties, maybe it will still be the eldest grandson of the emperor who is personable and easy-going.
It's a pity that the new emperor wants to kill them all, and Song Jin also has some questions in his heart that need to be answered, so the conflict between the two is inevitable.
Zhou Lao was good at training soldiers, so Song Jin sent him to the barracks, and in order to show Zhou Lao his prestige, he also asked his two extremely skilled guards to follow him. He has a mysterious guard, a total of twelve people, named according to the twelve earthly branches, all of them are good players. Before becoming Prime Minister, Mr. Fan had been the Secretary of the Household Department for nearly twenty years, in charge of land taxation, field corvee and labor. Western Xinjiang was poor, but officials' inaction was the fundamental reason. With Mr. Fan here, the change of Western Xinjiang was just around the corner.
It is true that the land in Western Xinjiang is poor and unsuitable for growing food, but Western Xinjiang occupies a huge area, covering one-fifth of the territory of Dazhou. In the place closest to the Central Plains in Western Xinjiang, although the land is not fertile, there is no problem in growing food. In the central part of Western Xinjiang, most of them are mountains and rivers. Mr. Fan personally led people to visit, and actually mined iron ore!
In this case, there is no need to worry about weapons. In the process of mining iron ore, Fan Lao also discovered two silver mines. Under the poor mountains and bad waters, there is a huge wealth buried.
As for the most northwestern part of the western border near the border, because it is close to the grassland of the Hu people, the land is extremely moist and soft, and cannot grow food, but it is very suitable for pasture growth. In addition, the border area is sparsely populated. As long as the Hu people can be prevented from coming to plunder , is an excellent grazing place!
The conflict between the Great Zhou and the Hu people has a long history. It has always been that the well water does not invade the river water. The Hu people repeatedly invaded. But if others don't bully Song Jin, Song Jin will bully others! What's more, many women and children in Xijiang were taken away, and the Hu people raised the children as slaves. These are the people of Xijiang, and they must be taken back.
Moreover, the Hu people are nomadic people, and the best cattle, sheep and horses are all with them.
He was always robbed, and occasionally he had to be robbed once in a while, otherwise he would be bullied for nothing
The changes in Xijiang are silent, like spring rain, spreading bit by bit on this vast land. In the future, this place will become the richest and most powerful place in the entire Great Zhou, integrating military, financial and rear defense, Strong soldiers and strong horses, true self-sufficiency, impregnable.
In addition, Feng Ruyuan put up notices all over the sixteen prefectures in western Xinjiang with trepidation. Zhou people are all spineless things, and they dare not go against them at all. Some hooligans specially find Hu people's clothes to wear, imitate their accent, go to new places, go to restaurants to eat vegetables, and brothels to drink flower wine without paying money!
But this time they kicked the iron plate. Three days later, the sixteen prefectures in Western Xinjiang were completely sealed off. All the Hu people who remained in Western Xinjiang were searched out by officers and soldiers and executed in public!
The common people applauded and applauded, they had suffered enough, these barbarians didn't treat them as human beings at all, now it's such a joy to see them have this day!
The rest of the barbarians who have not been caught have also become bereaved dogs. The notice said that anyone who reports or catches a barbarian will be rewarded, ranging from three stones of rice to as much as a hundred taels of gold and silver! As a result, there was a fanatical "hunting wind" in Xijiang immediately, even if reliable information was provided, there would be rice, so there would be no need to starve!
In the end, most of the barbarians in Xijiang were wiped out, and the rest were barely alive. As for those ruffians who pretended to be Hu people to bluff, deceive, rape, rape and rob, they were also regarded as Hu people by the people, and their heads were placed on the city gate one by one.
Feng Ruyuan was crying in the Taifu mansion, because he paid the bounty on the notice! It's all his money!
Although that little money is just a drop in the bucket for him, what is frightening is that if the king of Xijiang wants to cause trouble, he will first kill the Hu people, and then he will ease the current riots in Xijiang! What if there is no one? What should I do if I have no money to go to the military camp? He has to come out!
Feng Ruyuan loves money, so he dug a huge treasury under the bedroom, which was filled with real gold and silver, as well as all kinds of priceless calligraphy, paintings and antiques. No money was left for him!
Feng Ruyuan felt that death would be better than life! He tosses and cries every day, unable to sleep, and repeatedly tells his wife that if one day I die first, you must remember to buy me ten times or eight times the paper money and burn it for me! His wife was very annoying, and she responded again and again.
After this fight, Feng Ruyuan suffered from angina pectoris. He couldn't ask for money in front of him, and he fell ill whenever he mentioned money.
Song Jin knew Feng Ruyuan's hamster physique, he liked to hoard money, but he didn't like to spend it, he was as stubborn as an iron rooster, and he ate pickles for three meals a day on weekdays, and when he rarely saw meat, he created the appearance of a weak scholar . But he really didn't expect that Feng Ruyuan could make so much money! This money is more than enough for disaster relief, and the rest can be used as military pay!
It's not a loss at all to keep such a life.
Feng Ruyuan is so good at making money, so naturally he can't be wasted. Anyway, he, the Western Xinjiang Taifu, has nothing to do on weekdays, so it's better to send him some work and ask him to issue a military order. If he can't do it well, he will come to see him.
