Chapter 947 I'm afraid he's too kind
In the land of northern Xinjiang in early spring, the mountains in the distance are still covered with snow, and there is no green in sight.The remnant snow in the field looks like mottled white bark, here and there slipping away.

The farmer walked around the field with his hands behind his back, with a smile on his face, talking about something... With such a heavy snow, this year must be a good harvest.

A troop of cavalry slowly passed by on the official road, and the farmers looked at these cavalry with smiles.

"With Neizhou in hand, we can now farm with peace of mind."

"Yes!"

An old man came riding a horse, accompanied by an old family member, wobbly.

Nearby, the old man dismounted and walked along the field ridge.

The farmers immediately fell silent.

Although I have never read a book, the instinct to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages is innate.

The old man looked fierce. Although the scars on his face had been reduced a lot, he could still see a stern look.

I'm afraid this person is not simple.

The old man smiled and said: "The old man is from Neizhou, and he is doing grain business. Looking at this year...does it look like a bumper harvest?"

It turned out to be a businessman!

Everyone was relieved.

Doing business in frontier fortresses, especially peddlers, is licking blood on the edge of a knife. If you are not vicious, you will not be able to make money, and you will not be able to save your life.

An old farmer said with a smile: "That's not true. Last year's heavy snowfall will definitely bring a good harvest this year."

This is experience.

The old man smiled and said, "In this way, the old man's business has gained confidence. By the way, this year is still tax-free, right?"

"That's right! The Duke is kind and said that he will be exempted from taxes for three years. No, last year we didn't pay a penny, and we didn't give a grain of food."

The old man nodded, "Keep your word and keep your word. This is the foundation of governance. However, the old man heard that the victory report of winning the Neizhou reached Chang'an, and His Majesty was furious."

"Isn't it ecstasy?" Several farmers were stunned.

"You said you were angry, what did you call Yang Ni?" The old man sighed, "Chang'an is like this. I don't know what will happen to my northern border."

The old family members behind them turned their backs, their bodies trembling slightly, as if they were choking on sobs.

"This..." An old farmer scratched his head, "Your Majesty is really furious? Isn't that right! Even the old man knows that the victory over Neizhou will be of great benefit to Northern Xinjiang and Great Tang. Is Chang'an... blind?"

The old man smiled and said: "The nobles in Chang'an live in a high place. I guess they can't see clearly! I have a few friends in Chang'an. I wrote to say that Chang'an is now training the guards, and they have to wait for death."

"Who is this against?" asked a farmer.

The old farmer scolded: "Damn it, this is to guard against us!"

"Ah! That's what he said, why is he guarding against us?"

"Prevent us from fighting over."

"But the Duke has already said that he will be loyal to Datang in this life. What is he guarding against?"

"This……"

The old farmer scratched his few hairs, "Look, old man, this is a guilty conscience."

"But that's the emperor!"

The crowd fell silent.

The emperor is supreme, this has been the rule for thousands of years.

Rules deeply engraved in everyone's bone marrow.

The old man sighed, "What if the army overwhelms the border?"

Everyone was silent, and the old man asked again, "What should we do if Chang'an blatantly says that the Duke is rebellious?"

Everyone was silent.

The old man shook his head, turned around and walked slowly.

"Bitch dog slave!"

The old farmer stomped his feet suddenly, the old man turned his head, and saw the old farmer saying: "The old man only knows that this good day was given by the Duke, and whoever wants to deal with the Duke is to deal with the old man.

Even if it's for the sake of his children and grandchildren, the old man has to stand in front of the Duke, whoever wants to touch the Duke must kill the old man first! "

The old man turned around, the corners of his mouth slightly raised.

Get on the horse, look at the vast fields to the left and right, the old man said: "The mountains and rivers are picturesque!"

The old servant said: "Ah Lang, it's too cold today, you should rest in Neizhou for a few more days. Zhen Sima said that this day is not suitable for traveling, but you have to go."

The old man was Song Zhen. In the spring, he went to inspect Neizhou and comforted the first batch of immigrants.

Song Zhen said: "Taoxian sent the news of Chang'an on a fast horse. Zitai wanted to ask the old man how we should deal with Chang'an's aggressiveness. The old man can't sit still!"

The old servant said: "Chang'an is also full of food. The Duke has said that he will live up to Tang in this life, but they don't stop. Isn't this trying to force against the Duke?"

"Ha ha!"

Song Zhen smiled, "The Duke is a kind man."

The old servant couldn't help but roll his eyes, "Yes."

Da da da!
Behind, a group of cavalry came.

These are the accompanying cavalry, but Song Zhen wanted to inspect them in plain clothes, so he ordered them to follow behind and not to approach.

In early spring, although there was no work in the fields, farmers appeared in twos and threes on the edge of the fields.

"This is a feeling of hope!"

Song Zhen was very happy.

When he saw Taoxian County from a distance, a startled horse rushed over.

"Get out of the way!"

Followed by two riders, riding their horses in hot pursuit while shouting.

Song Zhen didn't move.

The cavalry behind them stepped forward, bowed and set arrows.

"Don't do it!"

A person flew over, faster than a startled horse.Pressing on the horse's neck with one hand in front and back, exerting a little force, the horse neighed and stopped.

Under such momentum, it can actually stop with one click, which is shocking.

Song Zhen sighed, "You can't wait to guard the Duke, and run out to catch the startled horse, but who caused the trouble?"

The one who came was Qiu Longwei, who heard the words and said shyly: "The little duke is going out, and the leopard is coming, let's think about letting it in the carriage, but when we got to the city gate, the little duke yelled to ride a horse.

As soon as Lord Xiaoguo came out, the swordsman followed, startling the merchant's horse on the spot.At least we couldn't embarrass Mr. Lang, so we chased him all the way. "

Song Zhen said with a dark face, "If the child wants to ride a horse, let him ride it? Who will lead the team?"

Qiu Longwei said: "Commander."

When Lin Feibao heard the little master said that he wanted to ride a horse, he probably thought that the little master wanted gold and iron horses, and wanted to conquer the world... If you are so excited, you must agree!
"When the old man didn't ask."

With that said, dozens of guards came with a carriage.

"Duke Song!"

Lin Feibao cupped his hands, and sitting in front of him was the Little Duke, who also followed suit, and said naively, "Duke Song."

Song Zhen's brows and eyes were relaxed, kindly making the officials of the Ministry of War whom he had dealt with drop their jaws, "Where are you going, Ah Liang?"

Ah Liang said, "I want my sister!"

Song Zhen understood, "It's not here yet!"

He is old and has few scruples. Last time I asked, Zhou Ning's delivery date had not yet arrived.

Lin Feibao said: "The little prince said that he is going to pay his respects."

"Worship God?"

"Yes."

"go Go!"

Everyone protected A Liang and continued to move forward. When they crossed, Lin Feibao heard Lao Song mutter, "A Liang Renxiao, good!"

It is correct to replace Ah Liang with the prince.

Lin Feibao had a smile on his lips, he was in a rare good mood!
When they arrived at the Jiedu envoy's mansion, Menzi said, "I have seen Song Gong."

"Is the Duke here?" Song Zhen dismounted.

"Yes, I was still talking about it before, saying why Song Gong hasn't come back yet."

"He will talk about the old man? Probably because there are too many things to do, and he wants to find a coolie!"

Song Zhen grumbled and went all the way in.

"...In Chang'an, the emperor ordered the guards to be trained. In the short term, this is to prevent our northern army from going south. In the long run, it is a sharpening of the sword. Once the northern border weakens, the army will come to the city."

Liu Qing dropped the message in his hand, "Zitai, sharpen your knife!"

"I'm not a sheep." Yang Xuan said with a smile, "I'm thinking, what will happen to Chang'an if Beijiang continues to grow stronger?"

"Chang'an will yell at you!"

Song Zhen walked in.

"Mr. Song has worked hard." Yang Guogong got up to greet him hypocritically.

"The hearts of the people in Neizhou are not bad, but before leaving, some people asked me, what should I do if the army of the Northern Liao Dynasty overwhelms the border? The old man replied, the National Council will come to support it."

Yang Xuan personally handed him hot tea, "How about the remaining Beiliao people?"

"It looks a little scary, but Zhen Siwen said, take your time, and assimilate bit by bit." Song Zhen smiled and said: "What else did he say, let them live according to the rules of the Tang Dynasty, with basic necessities, food, shelter, and transportation, from scratch. In the beginning, after two generations, it is guaranteed that only Datang will be remembered. This old man feels that this method is good.”

Liu Qing nodded, "Zitai employs well."

"This method is not bad, but it takes too long." Yang Xuan said.

"Then do you have a good idea?" Song Zhen asked.

Yang Xuan nodded, "Beiliao is gone, they are naturally the people of Tang Dynasty."

Song Zhen: "..."

"Destroy the country, hold the king in front of the emperor..." Yang Xuan narrowed his eyes, "I look forward to that day!"

"Make him dance with wine!" Song Zhen waved his hand, as if he was directing the enemy chieftain to dance, his face fascinated.

"Long live Shanhu, kneel down and surrender, and congratulate me on the eternity of the Tang Dynasty!" Liu Qing's eyes were full of longing.

"Could there be such a day?" Song Zhen's voice trembled, "How many years, how many years, the Great Tang no longer has the majesty to make all nations come to court. If I can see that day, I will die in peace."

"There will be!" Yang Xuan said solemnly, "I promise."

Song Zhen let out a long breath, "If there comes a day, Zitai, the old man will be able to explain to His Majesty when he goes underground."

Yang Xuan smiled, "He must also be happy. By the way, I have a doubt. When he was the crown prince, he acted aboveboard. Why was he rejected by the empress?"

He always felt that his father's departure was not that simple.

Li Bi's father and son's means are good, and the powerful group behind them is also very good, but the prince is the prince, and if the empress supports it, external forces will have no effect.

"The old man was in the frontier at that time!" Song Zhen said.

"I was confused."

At that time, Song Zhen was still a strong general in the army, and the situation in Chang'an had nothing to do with him.

Yang Xuan got up, "I'll go home and have a look."

"Go!"

Watching him go out, Song Zhen said, "When I was asking you earlier, Zitai's eyes looked hopeful."

"That's his grandfather and grandmother after all, who wouldn't want to see a harmonious family?" Liu Qing said.

"How much do you think the empress was involved in what happened back then?" Song Zhen asked.

"I'd better not delve into this issue." Liu Qing said seriously, "Let Zitai investigate by himself."

Song Zhen sighed, "It's too cruel!"

"If you want to be a king, you have to endure pain first, there is no exception."

"Yeah! Honoring the emperor just didn't make it through that test. Zitai's place..." Song Zhen said softly, "On the way, the old man tested the hearts of the people. Hearing that Chang'an is not kind to Northern Xinjiang, most of the people are on Zitai's side. However, the future remains difficult.”

After all, Chang'an is orthodox.

Liu Qing said: "No matter how difficult it is, the old man will push me up, and I have to push him up!"

……

Yang Xuan returned home.

"Xiao Lang-jun went out with his pet, and the house was deserted all at once. I'm not used to it."

"Yes!"

Several maids were talking, and when they saw Yang Xuan coming, they hurriedly saluted.

Yang Xuan nodded, and when he entered, he saw Zhou Ning being supported for a walk.

"Slow down!"

Yang Xuan quickly avoided.

Zhou Ning's belly got bigger, and he frowned as he walked, "Ah Liang said he was going to say goodbye."

"Where does he know this, it must be taught by others. However, this is a good thing." Yang Xuan said.

"Yes! Filial piety."

"It's God's will for the child's future. What parents can do is to teach him how to be a man. Kind but not pedantic, optimistic and open-minded. In this way, even when he grows old, he will still be a person with capital letters."

This is Yang Xuan's point of view in educating children.

If the child is taught wrongly, the greater the achievement, the greater the disaster, and the greater the hidden danger.

Moreover, it will harm future generations.

"Listen to you." It was rare for Zhou Ning to be so gentle, and Yang Guogong was secretly pleased.

"By the way, have you seen that Helian Yunshang?" Yang Xuan asked.

"I said we met a while ago, but the second brother ran wildly to Neizhou a while ago, saying that he was red-eyed for killing people. I wanted to wait for him to come back and see."

"He just can't stay idle." Yang Xuan was a little envious of Wang's second son's free and unrestrained, "I'll see you later! No, let Yiniang see him!"

Zhou Ning shook his head, "Yiniang has good eyesight, but it's too cold, so I'm afraid to scare that woman."

Yang Xuan laughed, "That's the county lord anyway, he's well-informed."

"Just a rich man."

Mrs. Zhou has the qualifications to say this, but Zhou Ning has never been mean, so this is a bit weird.

Yang Xuan stayed with her for a while, and went out to look for Yiniang, "Is Ah Ning not in the right mood these days?"

Yiniang laughed, "She called Helian Yunshang a rich man. This is suppression, so that the second child will not be bullied by Helian Yunshang in the future."

Yang Xuan smiled, "A woman's heart! It's elusive."

"Lang Jun."

A maid came over, "The Jiedu envoy's mansion sent someone to see me."

I just came back!
Yang Xuan reluctantly went to the front yard.

A small official was waiting, "Guo Gong, someone from Chang'an said that the official positions of Song Gong and others have been approved, but we have to wait for everyone to arrive before reading."

Along with the victory report, Yang Xuan's memorial was sent to Chang'an. The memorial was written by Lao Liu, and listed some officials who need to be promoted. Please Chang'an consider it.

Song Zhen, don't drive to Jiedushi's mansion.

Jiang Cunzhong, general of Zhonglang.

Zhen Siwen, Governor of Neizhou...

and many more.

This is a procedure, Yang Xuan needs to give Chang An this face when both sides are not openly tearing their faces apart.

But if Chang'an delays or opposes, then I'm sorry, Yang Guogong backhandedly appointed him an official.

"How about the visitor?" Yang Xuan asked.

"It looks quite peaceful."

"Harmony? But I have no money in Northern Xinjiang!"

Yang Xuan asked again, "Where's Jiang Cunzhong?"

"Going to train outside the city, I guess I won't be able to come back until tomorrow."

But Zhen Siwen is still far away!
"So, let's talk about it when everyone arrives."

"Yes!"

Yang Xuan turned around, and Han Ji came.

"Chang'an is sharpening their knives. This appointment is also a chance to test and deter me in northern Xinjiang. Sir, I'm afraid the visitor is not kind."

Yang Xuan said: "I'm afraid of the people who come, too kind!"

……

Double monthly tickets on the last day, brothers, the jazz depends on you!
