People in the early Tang Dynasty: I compete with Wu Zhao for the throne

Chapter 270 Dongyang Mystery Case, Household Tax Hands and Feet

In the early morning of summer by the Qiantang River, the breeze is blowing to send you off.

Standing on the pier, Li Xuan nodded calmly to the short, extremely respectful Japanese people in front of him, "Don't worry, everyone. After I settle down in Wuzhou, I will definitely come to invite you all." Go to Wuzhou to buy and sell business."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" As soon as the Japanese bowed down, they saw that Li Xuan had stepped back onto the big boat.

Standing at the bow of the boat, Li Xuan bowed her hands earnestly to the farewell people on the pier.

At this time on the pier, Shi Huyu, Chief of the Prefect, Yuanyi Sima, Zhang Chun, Cao Canjun, Su Zhe, Cao Canjun, and Lu Yuanming, Yu Yong, Lu Xiangxian and others from the Lu family all came to see them off.

In addition, there were also father and son Kui Gong, Kui Heng, monk Fang Qin, and many other descendants of the Hangzhou aristocratic family.

In just two days, Li Xuan left a deep impression on Hangzhou officials and aristocratic families.

His eyes are like torches, his insight is keen, he is proficient in calculations, and his shots are decisive and ruthless.

In just two days, the layout of the Tianyin Sect in Hangzhou was completely torn apart by him, which is heartbreaking and frightening at the same time.

Therefore, basically all those who can come to send each other off today have come.

But what Li Xuan didn't expect was that besides Wuzhou officials, aristocratic families and some friends, there were also Osaka merchants who came to Hangzhou from the Wa country to send him off today.

Li Xuan inspected the Shaoqing of the Honglu Temple, and these Japanese people in the Tang Dynasty were tantamount to being under his rule.

So Li Xuan could only comfort these people eagerly.

After all, although they are Japanese people, it is different if they were born in Osaka.

If it was a businessman from other places in Wa Kingdom, Li Xuan would not even take a second look.

But for the people of Osaka, besides looking at them differently, Li Xuan also planned to have business exchanges with Japanese merchants after the Tianyin Sect incident was over.

After all, the Wa country is rich!
……

In the early morning, the wind was clear and the weather was fine. Two large ships with two masts escorted the three official ships, and the group headed southwest towards the great river.

In addition to the two two-masted ships, there were more than [-] fast boats in the surrounding area farther away, and the group of people headed for Wuzhou in the southwest.

This is the fleet sent by the Kai family to Wuzhou for purchasing, but Gong Gong promised that at the critical moment, this fleet will be at Li Xuan's disposal.

The most important thing is that there is still a naval warship at the forefront, and several Clippers are opening the way ahead.

A fleet of ships looked mighty.

Standing on the bow of the boat, despite the strong wind blowing in the river, Li Xuan looked at all this and secretly calculated in her heart.

How to use this power can wipe out the manpower deployed by Tianyin Sect in Wuzhou to the greatest extent.

In a few days, the first batch of summer rice will begin to be harvested.

All aspects of the Tianyin Sect's forces have been lurking in place, and then they waited for Xia Rice to be stored in the warehouse, and immediately started to riot.

During this time, it was the time when they needed to keep a low profile the most, and it was also the time when Li Xuan had the best chance to eliminate them.

On board were not only Qiu Zhenmu, Chen Ling, Wang Bo, Meng Juan, Yin Sizhen and others who came from the south of Luoyang with Li Xuan, but also Zhou Shen, Liang Fuling and others who joined them in Yangzhou, and Du Fuling who had just left Hangzhou together. Liu et al.

Some of them were able to see the light, while others were pressed tightly in the depths of the big ship.

Except for the left and right Qianniuwei and the guards of the Nanchang Prince's Mansion who were beside Li Xuan, the other soldiers transferred from the Zhechong Mansion in Xinlin, and the Wuzhou Orion recruited from Hangzhou this time, were scattered and placed on several other ships. Trained by veterans from Shi Jin's residence.

There are hundreds of people in all, plus the knives, bows, arrows and armor on the ship.

It is not difficult for this group of people to take down a city directly by being caught off guard.

……

"This time in Hangzhou, although I have gained a lot, I always feel that it is difficult to complete." Li Xuan turned around, looked at the people behind her, cupped her hands, and said apologetically: "I have troubled you all, and I couldn't enjoy myself in Hangzhou."

Wang Bo, Yu Ze, Zhou Shen, and other Liang Fuling, Du Liu and others bowed their hands and returned the salute, saying in unison: "Don't dare."

Chen Ling, Meng Juan, Yin Sizhen and others were not on this ship, and they would not be involved in the turmoil in Wuzhou for the time being.

Li Xuan looked back towards Hangzhou, and said softly: "Although this trip is hardly complete, the basic purpose has been achieved. The Tianyin Sect's power in Hangzhou has been hit, and they must recruit people from other sources. More or less, Wu There will be less pressure on the state."

Although it is said that the disciples of the True Evangelists and the Inanimate Dao were lost at the hands of Li Xuan this time, but Li Xuan believed that even the Tianyin Sect did not expect such a loss at the beginning.

Li Xuan's movements were too fast, and those who were too fast could not react at all.

There may be some other calculations in this, but next time, if the Tianyin Sect wants to move, they must use their own basic personnel.

Li Xuan had a vague feeling that it was not Zhang Wanyu, the lord of Yuhang, who was confronting him behind his back in Hangzhou this time, but his brother Wen Fuzhi.

From the beginning to the end, Wen Fuzhi didn't know where he was hiding.

Li Xuan had a feeling that the other party had been observing him, judging and evaluating him, so Li Xuan didn't use some methods at all.

Li Xuan even chose to avoid Lingyin Temple without hesitation.

There is no choice to uncover this thunderstorm at this time.

Although he didn't go to Lingyin Temple that day, according to the news this morning, the great monk of Lingyin Temple directly blocked everyone's way up and down the mountain.

The manpower left by Zhou Shen could still faintly hear the sound of killing in the wind when they left.

From the beginning to the end, no one went down the mountain.

"The biggest gain this time is that I got the appointment of Yuezhou Governor's Mansion."

Li Xuan took out the appointment from her bosom and handed it to Wang Bo who was at the side.

After Wang Bo glanced at it, he handed it to Zhou Shen after him, and others such as Liang Fuling and Du Liu also glanced at it.

Li Xuan's eyes fell on Zhou Shen, and said in a deep voice: "Brother Zhou, I will leave it to you to form this group of troops. Power."

Find out the hidden hands of the Tianyin Sect, and completely control the entire situation in Dongyang, so as to prevent future chaos from spreading from Wuzhou to other places, or in other words, from other places to Wuzhou.

"Your subordinates take orders." Zhou Shen cupped his hands respectfully to Li Xuan, with a serious and excited expression.

Li Xuan nodded in satisfaction, then turned around and looked at Du Liu, who was wearing a blue man's robe, but still beautiful: "Du Xiandi, this time I am going to Zhuji, I will stay for two hours at most, if uncle can't make it , then we can only leave a letter and ask him to come from behind, and I will wait for you in Dongyang."

Du Liu then cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, don't worry, even if Aye is not in Zhuji now, he must not be far away, and may even have already arrived in Dongyang."

"That's good." Li Xuan nodded, looked at Yu Ze and Wang Bo, picked up a paper bag from the side, and handed it over.

"Uncle Du sorted this out in advance. Regarding the murder case of Sihu joining the army in Dongyang, the two of you should make a judgment in advance. What should I do when I arrive in Dongyang?"

Hangzhou, Zhuji, Dongyang.

When Li Xuan rushed to Wuzhou, he didn't take the road from Qiantang River to Wujiang, but went south.

From Zhuji to Dongyang, to Yiwu, and then to Wuzhou City.

Transfer from Qiantang River to Puyang River, then to Dachen River, enter Dongyang River, and arrive at Dongyang.

Finally, it turns from Dongyang River to Yiwu River, then Yiwu River enters Dongyang River, and finally enters Wuzhou City.

The turning of the river in the middle is not as convenient as taking the Wujiang River, but it is the fastest way to reach Dongyang.

If you go to Wujiang, you must go to Wuzhou City first, and there will be a lot of things when you arrive.

It is even possible that someone has already prepared how to target Li Xuan, so Li Xuan chose to find another way.

"Dongyang Sihu joins the army, manages population and household registration, and collects taxes. If a new official cannot be appointed in a short period of time, then Xiashou will definitely be affected." Yu Ze is very clear about the joints involved, and also understands the danger in this matter.

"That's true. It would be fine if he died normally, but it happened at this joint. If it was murdered by the Tianyin Sect, then one can imagine how big their conspiracy in Dongyang is." Li Xuan sighed, and immediately With a wry smile, he said, "Before I arrived in Wuzhou, the Tianyin Sect gave me a blow."

Wuzhou covers the nine counties of Jinhua, Yiwu, Yongkang, Dongyang, Pujiang, Longyou, Wuyi, Dingyang and Pingchang.

Dongyang is the east gate of Wuzhou. It can reach Hangzhou in the northeast and Yuezhou in the east.

Winning Dongyang will not only spy on Hangzhou and Yuezhou, but also cut off the support of Wuzhou from other states.

Because Wujiang is more likely to be blocked.

"This must be done by someone with a heart." Wang Bo took the file and said softly: "Dongyang Sihu joined the army and was killed, so the increase or decrease of the population in some specific places is unknown, and the increase and decrease of the household tax can be manipulated...My lord Didn't you always want to know where some of the Tianyin Sect's staff are hiding, as long as we get to Dongyang, I'll find out."

The Tianyin Sect has done so many tricks in Dongyang, so it's no wonder they don't make trouble.

"It seems that the king's guess is right. I'm waiting for a fierce battle in Dongyang, so what should I do in Dongyang? I hope the two gentlemen can come up with a reasonable plan in advance." Li Xuan said. They bowed their hands to Wang Bo and Yu Ze at the same time.

"Don't dare!" Wang Bo and Yu Ze nodded at the same time.

"I have other things to do, so I left first." Li Xuan nodded slightly and left the room.

Liang Fuling followed quietly, while Du Liu stayed behind to help Yu Ze and Wang Bo provide some local information.

"Are you looking at the abilities of the two of them, and then adjusting their positions in the Nanchang Palace?"

Li Xuan glanced at her in surprise, hesitated, nodded and said: "Part of this means, after all, there are not many places in the palace, and the two of them who can be favored by the two of them are nothing more than Chang Shi, Sima, joining the army, working as a Zhonglang, and repairing the palace. Zhuan, Wangfu Jishi, and Changshi have always been appointed by the imperial court, as for the others, it depends on what they are good at, especially Mr. Zi'an."
