Chapter 729 Focus on the front

Chapter 729 Focus on the front

When Jia Sidao talked about the lowly maidservants and pawns, Jia Sidao seemed a little lonely.

He sat alone on the edge of the hanging rock, clutching the wound on his body, and could see the fire in the distance.

That's his guards looking for him.

This time I brought more than 200 entourages up the mountain, it seems that there are more than 300 people, I can't remember clearly.

What's the use of having more anyway?They are all rich and poor, and the only things they care about in their minds are salary, gambling, and pleasure.

When the night wind blew, it also brought over the conversations of the naughty men and women.

"I have to go with him. There is something that needs to be confirmed anyway."

"I'll check it for you, oh, let the old man check it for you, you don't have to go with him."

"You have to go, be careful, get out quickly."

"Well, you know how to join us, by the way, the queen is the one who harmed the princess, right? I'll check..."

Jia Sidao turned his head slightly, as if he wanted to take a look.

But held back.

But Lu Xiaoyou turned around, raised his voice, and said, "Jia Sidao, if you dare to touch Wang Cui, I will kill you sooner or later."

Jia Sidao ignored him.

This is Lu Xiaoyou's personal meaning.

Then you are not qualified to talk to him.

"Did you hear that?!" Lu Xiaoyou shouted again.

Wang Cui said: "He heard it, but he didn't dare to touch me, so go quickly."

"Oh."

Jia Sidao glanced back slightly.

I saw that silly boy who was confused just looking at it finally climbed down from the cliff again.

He just stood up and said, "Help me go."

"walk on my own."

Jia Sidao groaned and walked towards Tongbai Palace with difficulty.

I continued to think about the things I was thinking before the attack...

The first defeat to Li Xia made Li Xia return to Shu to serve as commander in chief;

Tonight is not the third time, tonight is a misunderstanding, the pawn did not understand Li Xia's instructions, yes, that's it, the reason why Li Xia didn't say more, was not because he didn't care, but because he guessed that Zhao Jin's murderer was not him.

The little soldier misread the case and made a misunderstanding, but he still kept his mouth shut.

In short, after Li Xia opened the mansion and became the king, the only way for the court to restrain him was to tamper with money and food.

Before the soldiers and horses moved, the food and grass went first. Qin Jiushao sat in Jiangling for this purpose.

This is the third fight.

haven't lost yet...

~~
A few days later, Wanzhou.

In the posthouse, Qin Jiushao stood in front of Li Xia with an increasingly sad and angry expression.

Because Jiang Fan was pressing his shoulders, trying to make him kneel down.

"Stop pressing it."

Li Xia finally realized that Jiang Fan was exerting force, and raised his hand to stop it.

He never valued his personal honor or disgrace, never asked others to kneel down to him, and stopped every time, even if Jiang Fan wanted to frustrate Qin Jiushao's arrogance today.

Compared with Qin Jiushao's arrogance, Sichuan and Shanxi's unhealthy kneeling atmosphere is more important.

"Let me ask you a few words. You wrote "Nine Chapters of Shushu" during the three years you kept filial piety for your mother, but since the second year of Xingchang, there has been no academic progress. Why?"

Qin Jiushao realized that Li Xia was asking himself, cast a sideways glance, and said, "Busy."

"What are you busy with?"

"In the second year of Xingchang, he served as an envoy for the system along the river to participate in the council. In the fourth year of Xingchang, he resigned and lived under the family of Mr. Jia. I know Linjiang Junzhou."

"Changed courts twice, dismissed several official positions, ups and downs, now reduced to a prisoner, but what is left behind?"

"There are still thousands of family wealth, a grand and luxurious house, and beauties like clouds." Qin Jiushao didn't know whether he was complacent or laughing at himself.

Li Xia said: "I won't let you go back, these are all empty."

"It's only about achievements in one life. There are very few of you here who can surpass me." Qin Jiushao looked around the lobby of the post house and said, "How mediocre you are here."

Just this one sentence made everyone angry.

It was all the more irritating because many people knew that what he said was likely to be true.

Zhang Hongdao, sitting on the left, and Gao Changshou, sitting on the right, had nothing to do with Qin Jiushao, but they all showed hesitation when they heard the words, as if they were poked into the bottom of their hearts by the word "mediocre".

Li Xia didn't react much, and said: "I saw an article about your book, and I thought you were a master of mathematics, but you are also a master of architecture."

"The king of the county is too famous, it's just a matter of analogy."

Qin Jiushao ignored the angry eyes around him, first glanced at Li Ye, and nodded.

Seeing the curiosity and examination look in the eyes of the old man, he knew that this was a man with ink in his belly, different from those idiots around him.

It must be the master of mathematics in Sichuan and Shaanxi.

Afterwards, Qin Jiushao looked straight at Li Xia, no longer as arrogant as before, and began to talk about academic matters.

"My father used to be a doctor of the Ministry of Industry and a young supervisor of the secretary. The Ministry of Industry was in charge of construction, and the secretary was in charge of books. There was a Taishi Bureau under it. When I was young, I could borrow a lot of classics and visit famous experts who were proficient in astronomy, calendar, architecture, etc. ..."

Qin Jiushao has integrity, but there is no need to pay attention to integrity with the Pingling County King of the Song Dynasty.

The reason why he is arrogant first and then respectful, he has his own calculations.

As long as Li Xia is willing to use him, he will still have a bright future.

But he himself didn't realize that he had just entered Shu, and what he was talking about was already different from when he was in the southeast.

Because that's what the guy sitting on it was asking...

Li Ye became more and more interested, and asked, "You didn't say just now, who is the master of arithmetic? I heard that there are famous scholars Jiang Zhou, Li Wenyi and others in the south."

Qin Jiushao said: "Sir is a hermit, so it is inconvenient to disclose his name."

"How about talking to the old man in private?"

Qin Jiushao said: "I promised you, sir, not to mention his name."

Li Xia felt that the current academic atmosphere is such a shortcoming. Talented people always think that "hermits" are noble, and their works cannot be circulated. I don't know how many great achievements have disappeared in the clouds.

"Okay, okay, you can still be regarded as a trustworthy person." Li Ye stroked his beard and jaw, and continued to ask Qin Jiushao: "You are also good at poetry and prose. Where did you learn from?"

"Poems and articles, I learned from Mr. Mei Ting."

"Li Meiting? It's amazing, it's amazing." Li Ye said with emotion: "The teacher protects the achievements of the people, and goes to Xijing and Yuanmiao. You have many good teachers."

Qin Jiushao remained silent.

I have been obsessed with fame and fortune for more than ten years, and today I think of the gentlemen I met when I was young... I don’t want to mention them anymore.

But he was still happy.

——Look, I still need to use a wizard like me.

This has always been the case in this life, Wei Xiang, Jia Xiang, Wu Xiang, and today's Pingling County King, who doesn't cherish my talent?

Sure enough, Li Xia opened his mouth and said, "Since you are a master builder, Chengdu Fulu Road is just a waste of time, so would you like to contribute in the past?"

Qin Jiushao was overjoyed, and he cupped his hands and said, "Thank you for your support, the king of the county."

"Let's go today."

Li Xia made arrangements, raised his hand, and sent someone to escort Qin Jiushao to Chengdu to contribute.

Li Ye squinted his old eyes and looked outside the hall for a while, then got up and said, "How about..."

"Mr. Jing Zhai, don't intercede. This man is still in a mess. The more you look at him, the more satisfied he will be. Just let your heart dry."

Li Ye turned his head to look, feeling a little bit reluctant, and sat down again slowly.

Yan Yunyun calmly changed another cup of tea for him.

She really wants Li Ye to accept her as his disciple, and she often has such little hospitality recently.

"Continue to discuss."

Li Xia had already opened his mouth and said, "Jiang Fan, tell everyone about the situation in Jiangling."

"..."

The discussion in the post house continued to sound.

The yelling on the pier was still faintly heard.

This is Wanzhou, which is known as "a gathering of thousands of merchants". It is not like the military gateway of Sichuan and Shu like Kuimen, it is the economic gateway of Sichuan and Shu.

In recent years, merchant ships on the Yangtze River are like crucian carp crossing the river. Wanzhou City has restored some of the bustling scenes of previous years, but this post house is still very dilapidated.

A ray of sunlight shines on the hall from the broken tiles, and the moss grows from the rain below.

When the ray of light gradually dimmed, it was almost dusk.

……

"This is my second visit to Kuizhou Road this year."

Li Xia has already begun to summarize his trip to Wanzhou.

"The first time I came, I came to Kuimen to guard against the Song army's attack, but they didn't, and allowed me the right to open the mansion. But this time, I came to Wanzhou to guard against the Song Dynasty's merchants coming to attack Shu. The people's hard-earned money is earned.

Song Ting disappointed me again. I expected its new law to curb the excessive issuance of banknotes, stabilize prices, and make the rich and noble families less exploit the common people;

but no.

This time, I still haven't seen a gold and silver pass that can actually buy things and exchange money.What did you see?It is a counterfeit coupon.In the past, the Chishan Hui Paper Bureau printed 15 coins per day. This autumn, the Jiangling Counterfeit Coupon Workshop printed 500 million counterfeit notes every month.

Printing money to buy people's food - this is the method that the Song court has been using for decades, the only difference is that the money they print is to buy the people's rations in the southeast or our rations.

The princes of Dagon and Gun can only do this trick, can't they think of other ways?No, but there is no other way to do it.

The above is the situation of the opponent.

say us.

The City and Trade Department has done a good job. It has always kept the Yangtze River and Hanshui trade routes uninterrupted, so that our money can buy their supplies; Their money buys our supplies.

The Statistics Division is the key, the difference between us and them.Our coupons are not used to expropriate people's rations, but for convenience and to promote transactions, so we can not issue them indiscriminately. This is the principle.

Some of you here understand me, and some don't, so let me stress it again, I will never be lenient when it comes to matters of principle, no matter who it is.

In the future, whether you take office or serve in the shogunate, remember that behind the number of quotations set by the Statistics Department, there are people who are monitoring.

Having said that, I think you all know yourself and your enemy, how to win and why, keep going, and I will entrust the lifeline of the Yangtze River to your hands..."

Zhang Hongdao glanced at Gao Changshou, already feeling the pressure from the other party.

Obviously, Li Xia asked Gao Changshou to sit in Chongqing. In addition to guarding the Three Gorges defense line, he also had to guard the Yangtze River business.

……

"After talking about the economy, let's talk about the situation at the end."

Li Xia didn't want to say more, but this was a routine summary.

"The second year of Xianding is about to pass again. During this entire year, we competed with the Song court for the right to open the government and for the benefits of currency. This is necessary, because the Song court will inevitably restrain us.

Now, the fight is over.We have consolidated the situation in Sichuan and Shaanxi, which is gratifying, right?In just one year, we have completed the goal of "steady development" set at the beginning of the year.

But a year has passed.

Kublai Khan only did one thing this year, going north to Hara and Lin.Maybe next year he will only do one thing and return to Yanjing.

Soon, we won't have time to fight Song Ting like this.

In the third year of Xianding, I don't want to go back and forth to the east of Sichuan twice to fight for power with the Song court on Kuizhou Road.Therefore, I hope that you will work together to continue to stabilize the rear, so that the soldiers will have no worries and focus on the future..."

~~
A ship departed from Jiangling to Lin'an, and then an urgent letter was sent to Jia's old house in Tiantai County.

Jia Sidao looked at it and said nothing.

Lost again.

This was the third time he was defeated by Li Xia.

But after this time, it seemed that there was really no way to contain Li Xia anymore.

To deal with Shu Shuai, you can still suppress it; to deal with the county king, there is barely a way.

Although he implemented the Jingjie push-and-row method to curb the excessive issuance of banknotes, and at the same time used the method of excessively issuing counterfeit currency to deal with Li Xia, it was still a solution.

Now, there is no other way.

What does the husband say?

……

"Ah Lang, Wang Cui is going out. He should be going to see Li Ni. Do you want to send someone to follow?" Guihepu stepped forward and whispered in his ear.

Jia Sidao turned his head and glanced.

Thinking of that naughty boy and naughty girl again, it makes people unhappy.

"No, the important thing is not this little man, but...forget it."

"Yes."

"Don't mention Li Ni to me again if you have nothing to do."

"Ah Lang, is this? Are you no longer sending people to the west?"

Jia Sidao didn't want to answer at first, but in the end, he murmured again.

"I'm busy, I just want to focus on my own business..."

~~
Shengzhou.

"Can Xianggong Jia be so angry with me? But I only spoke three words to him."

Lu Xiaoyou walked by the Shanxi River, glanced at Wang Cui, and said: "At that time, he kept asking, so I had no choice but to tell him that the county king really didn't ask me so much."

"Okay." Wang Cui couldn't help but bowed her head and smiled, and then said seriously: "You must be careful if you offended him."

"it is good."

"Are you going back to Hanzhong now?"

"The matter is not over yet. Since the princess was killed by the empress, I discussed with the old book recorder to find out if the old man who was the head of Pavilion Guan in the palace is there."

"Have you ever been to the palace?"

Lu Xiaoyou turned his head to look at the scenery in the distance, and said, "I mean, it's not unsure to kill the queen, find a palace man..."

"Stop doing that, okay?"

"What's wrong with you? Didn't you always want revenge before?"

"Now I have changed my mind. I understand that you are all heroes and righteous men who resisted captives. Things like Lin'an are not worth your risk. Moreover, the queen is the princess's cousin, and they have played together since childhood... Well, if the princess is still alive , I definitely don’t want people to avenge her, right? It’s all over.”

"I don't understand these things, just follow orders."

"I know you are such a person." Wang Cui glanced at Lu Xiaoyou, "That day, did you see the nobleman who was behind Li Junwang? She asked Li Junwang to do this matter... You just need to take this When you go back, you can do business."

Lu Xiaoyou received a letter.

I saw on the envelope that there were six characters "Dai Zhuan Li Gong Master", which looked very well written.

Wang Cui asked again: "Can you promise me not to open this letter? It must be sent to Li Junwang, and he will know it at a glance."

"Yes. You see, if I nod my head like this, I will die."

"Don't die, live well. That's it, you go back."

"What about you? Won't you go back with us?"

"No, I plan to go to Tongbai Palace to be the female crown."

After Wang Cui finished speaking, she stopped, and lightly fiddled with the saber at her waist for two steps, saying: "Let's go, the grievances and grievances will be eliminated."

"What? We have grievances?"

"Yes, but no. Also, thank you very much."

Lu Xiaoyou was so strange that he wanted to ask a few more questions.

Wang Cui has already waved goodbye.

Lu Xiaoyou took two steps, remembered something, turned around and asked: "By the way, my mother is talking about my daughter-in-law... don't you want to have a wedding wine?"

"It's too far away, so I can only congratulate Brother Xiaoyou first."

Wang Cui shook her head with a smile, and turned to go south.

Lu Xiaoyou scratched his head in frustration, and walked north.

After a while, he heard Wang Cui shouting again behind him.

"Brother Xiaoyou, you are a reliable person. You must live on the battlefield in the future. According to what you said, you will go forward and become a general!"
