Devil’s Advent

In the past two years, the Juggernaut has become more and more aware of a truth, that is, he can only use swords.

In other aspects, my own shortcomings are too many.

so,

He couldn't understand what Zheng Fan and Sun Youdao meant when they shouted from a distance.

Of course, the literal meaning must be easy to understand.

For any celebrity, the most widely spread is often some of his hobbies, and the more down-to-earth hobbies are, the easier it is to be spread, because it is the "earth spirit" that helps him spread his name.

It has long been no secret that "Hirano Hiroshi is a good wife".

In the eyes of the real high-level officials, taking back the Great Chu Princess is a feat of exalting the prestige of our country and damaging the prestige of other countries.

And in some small restaurants and teahouses with relatively low levels, it has become another condiment in the talks of traffickers and pawns.

Hey,

You still tell me that it is nonsense that Uncle Hirano's good wife is slander?

Then take a look, take a look,

Why did Uncle Hirano wait until the day of the princess's wedding to snatch her?

Of course, as Uncle Zheng's neighbor, the Juggernaut knows what Uncle Zheng is like.

Uncle Zheng has a lot of problems, and he likes to enjoy, but he never indulges, and he has a kind of self-consciousness.

Therefore, the Juggernaut instinctively felt that there was another meaning in this simple conversation, but he didn't know what it meant.

The Savage King understood it.

He has long seen that Uncle Hirano has always "thiefs do not leave empty space". In layman's terms, he kills a person, even if it is a woodcutter, he has to touch his body, although it is unlikely to find anything good. Things, but this process is indispensable, and this sense of ritual is indispensable.

Uncle Zheng said earlier that the Sun family will gather its female relatives after the family is exterminated, which means that your family is about to be exterminated for treason. Now that I am here, if you can serve me like the female slave of Jiaofang , then we still have something to talk about.

And when Sun Youdao said that he was looking for a favor for his old concubine to give to Uncle Hirano, it didn't really mean that he wanted to give away his fifty-year-old concubine. After all, if he dared to give it away, it was impossible for Uncle Zheng to take it.

The implication of Sun Youdao is to compare the old concubine to himself. He is already seventy years old and has already retired, just like the beauty of the past. Like a concubine, she commits herself to serve.

The Savage King narrowed his eyes,

two old foxes,

They can smell each other's body odor from a long distance away.

Uncle Zheng smiled "hehe\

,"ready to move forward,

But stopped again.

The Juggernaut sighed, took a step forward, and walked into the hall.

Uncle Zheng followed closely behind.

people,

Be cautious, yes.

After all, it's not time to be barefoot. It's a blessing to have worked so hard to get to this position.

Uncle Zheng didn't want a poet from the State of Yan to lament after a few years: But Xue Haifei will be in...

Since the sun was already setting and the lights were not lit in the hall, it was a little dark.

Sun Youdao didn't take the first seat, but sat down.

He was indeed old, but his body was still strong, and when he sat there, he also had a calm breath flowing, after all, he was the former prime minister.

Uncle Zheng didn't sit up, but sat down opposite Sun Youdao.

The Savage King stood behind Uncle Zheng,

The Juggernaut sat down beside him.

"Actually, I have wanted to see Uncle Hirano for a long time, and I have been suffering from no chance. Who would have imagined it? I saw him today, but it was in this kind of situation;

Uncle Hirano laughed because he had no way to teach his son. "

"Teacher Sun is too polite to say these words. In fact, Benbo has admired Taifu Sun for a long time. After finally coming to Yingdu, I just want to find a chance to visit you.

But you have been promoted to an official position, and you don’t see any outsiders, so you have no choice but to ask your soldiers to bump into the lintel of your noble son on purpose, thinking that this will lead to a misunderstanding, so that you can find a way to come to Mrs. Sun to make amends. see you?

but,

Good luck tricks people,

If you don't pay attention, this matter will be broken, and it will be big. "

The Juggernaut on one side reached out to pick up the candied fruit placed in front of him, and listened while eating.

This kind of face-to-face dialogue between two old foxes, every sentence and every expression, has a metaphor, a secret point, like a thousand changes in the way of swordsmanship, and every change can make people think about it for a long time.

Sun Youdao raised his wine glass and respected Uncle Zheng:

"Old man, drink a full glass first and make amends."

finished speaking,

He drank it in one gulp.

Previously, the Sun family was holding a birthday banquet, so there were wine and vegetables on the table in front of everyone. The food was cold, but the wine was still available.

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 young, I had a bad stomach and always had stomach troubles. Later, I learned to be good and stopped eating outside."

"Hahahaha, uncle is really a wonderful person, frank and direct."

Sun Youdao finished laughing,

His eyes fell on the sword master sitting beside Zheng Fan.

he,

He recognizes the Juggernaut.

"With a famous sword by your side, holding 20,000 tigers in your hand, this kind of pride makes me yearn for it."

"Let's talk about the weather again, let's talk about the sunset, talk about the stars, and talk about the turmoil in the red curtains in Yingdu. It's okay, Ben has plenty of time."

I have time,

You are running out of time.

It's not really ringing the bell,

Rather, it is the initiative to talk by name.

Sun Youdao nodded, and said: "Some words, I always don't know how to say it, it's not that I deliberately want to perfunctory the groundwork."

"One of Ben's friends once told Ben, that in this world, as long as the two parties are sincere, there is no deal that cannot be negotiated."

"But His Royal Highness?"

"Exactly."

"That's right, that old man, let's be frank and honest. His family is unfortunate. With such a rebellious son, this old man doesn't seek wealth and honor in the first place, but only wants the family to be passed down safely.

The old man dares to ask uncle,

this catastrophe,

Is there still a chance for this old Sun's family to go there? "

This is Sun Youdao's request. To do business is to exchange what you have.

What do you need, what do you have, what do I need, what do I have, but one can be achieved, and the other, even if it cannot be perfectly connected, can always find another way to make up for it.

Zheng Fan nodded,

road:

"have."

Sun Youdao let out a long sigh of relief when he heard the words.

"Uncle, what do you want Sun to do?"

Sun Youdao didn't do what his son did, he foolishly asked how he would be treated after passing this hurdle.

Whether it is a man who enters the palace from the palace and a woman fills into Jiaofangsi.

Because Sun Youdao knew in his heart that there was no need to ask this question at all. Although the Sun family was not prosperous because of his own relationship, it was still a top family in Yingdu. Although he retired, he still had a lot of influence in Yingdu.

Otherwise, how could his eldest son, a cripple, connect with so many forces to plot a rebellion?

But the Sun family is not a wealthy family, so it is impossible to get money and such things, and Hirano Bo may not be able to look up to them.

What Uncle Hirano wants and what he can give, the premise must be that his family still maintains this status in Yingdu, otherwise, would Uncle Hirano really go to the Jiaofang Division to collect debts?

Sun Youdao saw clearly that the Sun's family was protected first before Uncle Hirano asked for it.

This sale, under this circumstance, is cost-effective for him, because he received the goods first.

Uncle Zheng shook his head slightly,

road:

"Benbo, I actually don't know what I want to buy. To tell you the truth, Benbo's coming to Sun's Mansion at this time is like going to the market at the Lantern Festival Lantern Festival. I just walked around and looked around. When I went out, I didn't think about the details. What to buy.

But if you really see your rare stuff, you might be tempted to put it in your pocket. "

Sun Youdao nodded and said:

"Then let the old man take care of it, and see if there are any objects here that can make Hirano Bo feel rare."

Zheng Fan smiled.

I promise you that you can save the Sun family, but only if you pay enough.

The Sword Saint suddenly felt,

It's obviously a very serious and lofty matter,

But after the old and the young changed hands like this, it seems that it is no different from his wife going to the market to buy fabrics in normal times.

Folks often have jokes that old farmers think that the emperor can eat twenty oily buns in the morning, which is very beautiful.

Naturally, the emperor would not eat twenty steamed buns, but the son of the emperor's family vying for the heir, to put it bluntly, is no different from how many children of a folk family vie for the ancestral house.

The Juggernaut closed his eyes and stopped eating the preserved fruit. He just felt that these things were really boring.

The savage king on the side seemed to be standing there with a calm expression, but in his heart, he had already thought about it.

Sun Youdao, what price will he offer?

The Savage King likes to figure out people's hearts the most, and is also good at maneuvering. At this time, he naturally put himself into Sun Youdao's position to help him think about problems.

Right now, it is no longer the Dacheng Kingdom, and Sun Youdao has retired and retired behind the scenes.

Even if the incident of this rebellion was erased, thinking that the Sun family would not be implicated in this rebellion at all, the Sun family would not be able to offer much enough to attract their uncle.

One is because my uncle's position is not low;

The second is because the Sun family is not the Sun family in its heyday.

If it's just a "cooperation from the inside to the outside", the Sun family will help you when you want to rebel in the future.

The Savage King felt that unless his uncle was out of his mind, he would never agree to this.

Furthermore, Sun Youdao would not be so stupid as to use such illusory things as a price tag, otherwise he would be looking down on people.

And the consequence of looking down on people is that Uncle Hirano walks away, and the Sun family waits to be questioned.

Zheng Fan was actually waiting,

He doesn't know exactly what he wants, but he always wants to try his luck habitually.

A lottery ticket that doesn't cost money, and it's idle, not scratching white or scratching.

Sun Youdao didn't think for too long,

He looked at Uncle Zheng,

I spoke.

Wait for him to say these words,

Uncle Zheng's eyes froze for a moment, and the Savage King opened his mouth slightly.

For a moment, both of them sighed in the same way: they deserve to be the man who can stand behind Situ Lei.

Even the Juggernaut sitting next to him felt that Sun Youdao's price seemed to have hit something, to be precise, it had hit the Great Yan Pingye who was sitting next to him.

In the words of Sun Youdao:

"The imperial court transports food and payment to the Snow Customs twice a year, one in the middle of the year and one at the end of the year. Soon, a new round of food and payment transportation will begin. The old man assured the uncle that from this time on, the food and payment to the Snow Customs , will be double the original!"

double!

The transportation of food and wages has always been a long-standing problem.

There are two main points,

One point is the loss in the takeover link.

Another point is the consumption during transportation.

The loss in the takeover link is that after the grain is levied from the farmers, it will first be in the county, then go to the government, and then may have to be transported to a place for centralized storage, and then either go to the capital or send it to the destination .

After waiting for the place, it is another centralized point, and then distributed, which is still to say the least.

In every link, there will be someone up and down, you peel a layer of skin, he peels a layer of skin, and then peels a layer of skin, and then the local master will have a layer of skin, and the general will have a layer of skin. When it is really in the hands of the frontline soldiers, this It's pretty good that the core remains intact.

Even in the time and space that Uncle Zheng is familiar with, things like plucking wild geese cannot be avoided.

Another point is transportation. First of all, large quantities of grain have to be transported by people. The more grain, the more people and animals need to be transported. Both humans and animals have to eat during the transportation.

Therefore, in order to avoid attrition and maximize efficiency, basically the transportation of food and salaries for the entire Chengguo garrison starts from Yingdu, which is dispatched from Yingdu as the core and central area of ​​Chengguo.

Of course, the quota for each army is still determined by the imperial court.

"double?"

Hearing this number, Uncle Zheng was moved.

Although Uncle Zheng was able to raise 20,000 elite cavalry in Xuehai Customs, he relied not only on the court's food and salary, but also on his own looting of property and subsequent business operations.

But if the food and salary can be doubled, the extra part should be the same as raising another 10,000 cavalry.

Of course it’s not like this directly changing out of thin air. After all, it’s impossible for money and food to transform a living person by itself, but it’s like a person, after eating a few more meals and a few more strength, will work in the boss’s house. After finishing the work, I can clean up my yard again when I go home.

This is the level of Sun Youdao,

Being able to think of this "buying life" method in such a short period of time, the former Chancellor of the Dacheng Kingdom really lived up to his reputation.

But Uncle Zheng is not in a hurry to make a statement yet,

Are you talking about business?

If you want it in a hurry, you will get it.

What's more, people's lives are in my hands, should I be anxious?

Sun Youdao continued:

"The dog Ren Ying is a transfer envoy..."

Official positions and errands do not actually mean the same thing, because official positions are divided into reality and emptiness.

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 this level of retirement treatment.

Uncle Zheng's General Cheng Guo is also an honor. Cheng Guo is gone, whose army will you take?

The transfer envoy is a real job. Although his official position is not high, he handles a lot of affairs.

Because the eastern part of Chengguo has been facing threats from wild people and Chu people, the main force of the Jingnan Army of the Marquis of Jingnan has also been stationed in eastern Jindong.

Therefore, the military supplies transported from Yan Kingdom, Quhe City, and Litian City to Yingdu were actually received by the transshipment envoy, and the distribution after receipt was also passed through his hands.

You know, military supplies have always been the lifeblood of an army.

Sun Youdao served as Chancellor of Chengguo, starting from Zhennanguan, Situ Lei fought in the front, and he raised and transported military supplies in the rear, the cooperation of the two was similar to that of Pei Gong and Xiao He.

After Situ Lei died,

Whether it is the First Prince or the Marquis of Jingnan in command of the Eastern Expedition Army,

They all use the original bureaucratic system of Chengguo to carry out the operation of military supplies for the army,

Sun Youdao was in charge of the overall situation in the rear and solved the worries for Jingnan Hou. Even the Hou Ye once praised him.

Therefore, Sun Youdao is in this area, no, to be precise, this area should be Sun Youdao's direct descendant area, and the entire upper and lower areas should be promoted and appointed by him, otherwise, he would not send Sun Liang to him before he became an official. Push it to that position.

"Uncle, there are many troops stationed in Chengguo, and the food and salaries received and paid are also extremely high, but this old man confirms that he can do this.

One, open source, when reporting needs to the Great Yan court, use more pen and ink, and when receiving military supplies from Litian City and Quhe City, some items and losses can be more ugly.

The second is to cut down on expenditure. If the uncle wants to eat enough, if he wants to eat enough, he will have to get stuck in the food and salaries of the garrisons in other places, so that they can't eat enough, but they won't be so hungry that they can only sulk. There will be no big troubles, and the old man is confident that he can handle the heat.

And third,

That is Suben.

According to the old rules, in a city as big as Yingdu, with so many people and so many officials, they all need to eat.

But officials, if they don't eat well or use them well, they tend to make trouble.

Therefore, it is the same everywhere in the world, the military supplies brought into Yingdu from various places, and then out of Yingdu, this circulation will definitely share a part of the profit.

This piece of meat can also be cut into everything. "

Yingdu was originally a small court,

and,

Dayan is not paying the full amount of food and salaries to the garrison troops in various places. The salaries of the hundreds of officials in Yingdu and more officials below are naturally not full.

But how can a living person be suffocated to death by urine, regardless of the red, purple, black and blue official robes, as long as they enter the yamen, they don't need to do anything else, but making money and gaining benefits is the basic ability to survive and is indispensable.

Hearing this third article,

Uncle Zheng smiled,

It is not uncommon for the garrisons in various places to be easily controlled by the quartermasters. Besides, as long as there is no war, everyone can always find a way to make up for it, but...

"Now, does the Sun family still have the ability to make amends in Yingdu?"

Sun Youdao nodded, not in the slightest bit downhearted, but in high spirits,

road:

"I don't know how many people were involved in this rebellion. They were liquidated afterwards, and those who dereliction of duty were even more numerous. A group of people were cut off, and a group of people were demoted. This official title will be dropped by a large number.

On the occasion of this change, arrange more of your own people to go up to control the general situation.

When cutting this knife again,

It's much easier. "

The Savage King who was standing on one side subconsciously licked his lips at this moment.

call,

The old man in front of me,

As expected of his opponent back then!

What the Savage King was shocked by was not the old man's tactics. In fact, this kind of suppression of dissidents and support of cronies is something everyone can do, but some of them are ugly. After someone does it, you still think he is just;

But the old man in front of me,

Just a moment ago, my family was shrouded in treason and overturned at any time,

Now,

They actually took this Yingdu rebellion as an opportunity and planned to use it!

Seemingly simple line of sight switching,

But it contains a real grandeur!

"Uncle, in fact, since last year, the military supplies shipped here by the Imperial Household Department, and those shipped to Xuehai Customs, are all posted with notes."

The meaning of the post is that this batch of military supplies is being watched by someone above. If you want to eat, go and eat the other ones. Don't touch this one.

dare to move

OK,

Let's chat.

Put it in the time and space that Uncle Zheng is familiar with, it is earmarked for exclusive use.

Sun Youdao naturally knew who was in charge of the Dayan household department at this time, and what was the relationship between that person and the uncle in front of him.

But there's no need to tell the truth at this time, because he doesn't have the qualifications now.

"Uncle, in this way, there will be someone to take care of you at the imperial court, and there will be someone in the local area for your use. In this way, Xuehai Customs must have enough food and grass."

Uncle Zheng nodded slightly,

This is called,

Two-pronged milk?

"Uncle, this old man doesn't say things like being willing to be lackeys anymore, it's meaningless, but this old man only has one wish, and he doesn't want his children and grandchildren to be rich and powerful, only that they can pass on the family smoothly.

There should be more than this old man can do for the uncle, other than that, please wait and see, the uncle, it is all the sincerity of the old man.

Sun Ying will be grounded and locked in a secret room at home, and will not be allowed to go out for half a step in this life.

What about children and grandchildren?

The old man doesn't say anything or pat his chest. They generally don't live up to it, and it's hard for them to do anything for the uncle.

The old man can only guarantee himself,

But if you live one more day,

They have always been grateful for the grace of uncle's life.

Just like what the uncle said at the beginning, he wanted to deliberately find a fault to make amends to the old man, so that he could meet and talk.

The old man returned the exact words,

Just this time, the Sun family deliberately found a fault so that they could get on board with you, Uncle.

No cabin berth required,

On the deck, leave half a place where straw mats can be spread. "

Uncle Zheng stood up,

I moved my muscles a few times,

It's okay when you're fighting, your body isn't pretentious,

But on weekdays, he was basically able to lie down and lean on. Just sitting on his knees with Sun Youdao for a while, he was really uncomfortable.

Uncle Zheng didn't say anything.

Go straight out of the hall.

The Juggernaut also stood up. He actually didn't know if it was a deal or a deal?

Is it possible that I have to go back and think about it?

But can you consider the matter of rebellion?

It may be said that all the Sun family members will be sent to death row tonight.

But Sun Youdao sat still and didn't ask Uncle Zheng what he meant. He just poured himself another glass of wine and said to himself:

"Today's birthday is interesting."

The Juggernaut looked at the Savage King, but the Savage King just smiled at the Juggernaut and made a gesture of your request.

joke,

The Savage King didn't dare to ask the Juggernaut to explain his doubts at this moment, and he was still in front of Sun Youdao!

This is an old fox. Standing here by himself, he definitely can't see anything, but if he speaks more, he might be able to see his identity!

Unable to figure it out, the Juggernaut decided not to think about it anymore, got up, and followed Zheng Fan out of the hall with the Savage King.

In the courtyard outside the hall,

Sun Liang was still kneeling there, his posture unchanged.

Sun Ying was lying on the ground with his hands on the ground. When he heard the sound, he turned his head and looked at Uncle Zheng who came out.

Uncle Zheng's face was calm, and Sun Ying couldn't tell whether it was a good deal or a breakdown, my father.

Sun Liang also raised his head at this time, glanced at Uncle Zheng hurriedly, then lowered his head immediately, his face was covered with tears and snot.

Do not laugh,

Whoever was happy to celebrate the old father's birthday just now will face the situation of all the families being executed in an instant, and everyone will collapse.

Uncle Zheng walked up to Sun Ying,

stop.

Sun Ying raised her head and looked at Uncle Zheng.

Uncle Zheng spat out two words:

"Look down."

Sun Ying opened her mouth and lowered her head.

"kneel."

Sun Ying said: "Ying has a disability and cannot kneel, so please uncle..."

"Then throw yourself to the ground."

Sun Ying turned her head, glanced at her younger brother who was kneeling by her side, closed her eyes, and slowly put her hands and feet, as well as her chin, on the ground.

"See Uncle Hirano."

The corners of Uncle Zheng's mouth outlined a curve,

Opened the mouth and said:

"The Sun family, Sun Ying, secretly met with Ben Bo to report the rebellious party in advance, and then joined hands with Ben Buri Yingwai to wipe out the rebellious party, so that Ben Bo was able to wipe out the demon atmosphere in Yingdu in one fell swoop. Ben Bo will write a letter to His Majesty, asking for credit for you!"

Thanks to "ok take off" for becoming the 129th leader of "Magic Landing"!
