Jiang Hu Qi Gong Lu

Chapter 784

Xu Ban's matter is not difficult for Fu Yunzong.

The Sifang Company is now very famous in the Western Regions.

In addition, the bandits around were almost wiped out.

Even if the other party is still a little worried, it won't be a big problem if the Floating Cloud Sect sends some people there.

Lin Xiqi and the others knew that these princes also needed various ways to make money.

They need to maintain their power, not just relying on the identity of the prince.

These subordinates still need real benefits to maintain.

Otherwise, how could these people work for you?

There are many shadows of these princes or big families behind those many businesses.

It is possible that those big families are related to these princes.

All in all, the relationship is complicated.

Xu Ban left satisfied.

Lin Xiqi and the others were quite satisfied in their hearts.

After that, several lobbyists of other princes also came.

It's a pity that these people's conditions are not as good as Xu Ban's, and some are even harsher than Chen Xu's.

Some of them are really condescending, facing Lin Xiqi and the others with a gesture of charity.

For such a remote border place as the Floating Cloud Sect, they don't think much of it.

If it wasn't for Ren Jiang's obstruction, Ren Yue would have killed them directly.

Zhao Yanxu also sent someone over, saying that he would do his best to keep Hao Feng in charge.

Everyone is quite satisfied with this.

Although everyone is in contact, Zhao Yanxu can contact through these relationships if there is anything, but he didn't, he sent someone directly to show his sincerity.

"Then shall we still cooperate with Zhao Yanwu?" Renhe asked, "Although Zhao Yanxu's strength is a little weaker, from the current point of view, what he has done is still acceptable."

"There is no conflict between the two." Lin Xiqi said, "Cooperating with Zhao Yanwu is only for our interests in Liangzhou, and cooperating with Zhao Yanxu is for some interests in the capital. It’s really a conflict, and it’s not too late to make other decisions.”

"Junior brother is right." Ren Jiang nodded, "Now we still want to take down the Liangzhou pastor. As long as Hao Feng is the Liangzhou pastor, everything will be safe."

"I just didn't know that with Zhao Yanwu's intervention, Hao Feng could successfully take over as Liangzhou Mu." Ren Hai sighed.

"There should be news in a few days. This matter cannot be delayed for a long time." Renjiang said.

Five days later, there was news from the imperial court.

Lin Xiqi and the others got the news from "Skynet" that Hao Feng was the Liangzhou pastor, and this matter has been confirmed.

The decree is already on the way.

Although Zhao Yanwu's support this time made it possible for this matter to succeed, Zhao Yanxu also tried his best.

In addition, Hao Feng's own achievements are also dazzling enough.

A Daizhou shepherd sticks to Liangzhou.

Facing an army of 40 Tartars, they finally held on.

Finally, a counterattack can be launched.

Although there are various other reasons, such as Floating Cloud Sect, Hao Feng's achievements cannot be denied.

It is his own achievements that are dazzling enough to make it difficult for others to veto.

If Zhao Yanwu and the others objected, then Hao Feng might not be able to do anything about it.

With Zhao Yanwu's transformation, this matter was settled like this.

Hao Feng has been promoted, and Lin Xiqi and others who have meritorious service will naturally be promoted steadily.

Although the imperial court deliberately suppressed it, Lin Xiqi still served as the sheriff of Dunhuang County.

In order to balance the power in Liangzhou, the imperial court also sent some people to serve as sheriffs and magistrates of other counties.

But how much effect these have, everyone actually doesn't have much confidence in their hearts.

In the land of Liangzhou, everyone had to face not only Hao Feng, but also the newly-rising Jianghu sect of Fuyunzong.

Although these Jianghu sects, especially the lord sects, are generally not likely to openly oppose the court, but some secret methods are hard to guard against?

Not a few local officials died unexpectedly.

How did these people die?

Didn't it just offend some local wealthy families or Jianghu sects.

After the reward came down, Lin Xiqi and the others finally breathed a sigh of relief.

This time they got what they wanted from the court.

"The official position is there, but the court's food and salary are gone." Hong Shangrong sighed.

He is now in charge of Liangzhou soldiers and horses.

It stands to reason that the imperial court should allocate food and salaries, especially this time the defenders suffered a lot of casualties, and a large sum of money was needed for compensation.

But the imperial court only gave 300 million taels, and then said to wait, so I don't know when it will wait.

Hong Shangrong still has a good understanding of the virtues of the imperial court.

Procrastinating and procrastinating, and finally procrastinating.

"What is there to complain about?" Lin Xiqi chuckled, "No matter what, I gave 300 million taels. I heard that Bingzhou only got 100 million taels."

"My lord, can this be the same?" Hong Shangrong was a little bit dumbfounded, "How many Tartars are there in Liangzhou? I think it's only twenty to thirty thousand."

"But the loss over there is no less than ours." Lin Xiqi said.

"The local government is incompetent." Hong Shangrong snorted coldly, "They only need to guard their own capital, and they don't care about other life and death."

"It's always been like this." Lin Xiqi said, "Don't cry poor on my side, I'll ask Huaixu to allocate some money for food and wages."

"My lord, I'm just waiting for your words." Hong Shangrong laughed.

Of course, he came here this time to get some money back from Lin Xiqi, otherwise how would he bring his soldiers?

"However, the amount you need this time is a bit large. I don't think Huaixu will be able to provide that much for a while, so let's divide it up a few times." Lin Xiqi said.

"That's no problem." Hong Shangrong said, "Anyway, the silver is not used up all at once. Also, my lord, don't forget that there are still fifty thousand cavalry, and these expenses have to be counted."

Hong Shangrong couldn't help reminding Lin Xiqi.

This time I got 20 military horses from the Tartars, which is good.

But raising horses and feeding them is not a small expense.

Especially the formation of [-] cavalry.

The cost of a cavalry is not comparable to that of other officers and soldiers.

This cost is infinitely higher.

"I remember." Lin Xiqi waved his hand and said, "I won't miss you."

"Then I will resign as an official." Hong Shangrong chuckled and withdrew.

Speaking of which, Hong Shangrong's current official position is higher than that of Lin Xiqi, second only to Liangzhou Mu Haofeng.

But Hong Shangrong is very clear about his status.

In Liangzhou, whether it's me or Hao Feng, the real master is Mr. Lin.

At least on the government side.

It's not easy for him to talk about the Floating Cloud Sect.

Anyway, in his opinion, Lin Xiqi's influence over there is also great.

In this way, this Liangzhou is almost in his hands.

It's not that Hong Shangrong is not loyal to the court.

He was also loyal to the court back then, but what happened in the end?

What happened to me may not be a big deal.

In Liangzhou for so many years, he has never seen the court do anything for the people of Liangzhou.

Every time the Tartars invaded, the people of Liangzhou could only escape by themselves, or resign themselves to their fate.
