Chapter 385 Chapter [-]
As the right minister of the current dynasty, all the things he deals with are practical, which can be called daily management.Ning Yi and others had already noticed that besides them, there were many other people waiting at the side hall who came to visit Qin Yuyuan this afternoon, and many of them might be high-ranking officials.Ning Yi is now regarded as Qin Yuyuan's own staff.Therefore, after talking about Wang Shanyue, he temporarily handed over Ning Yi to Yao Zunian, Cheng Zhouhai and others to receive him, and he went to deal with the visiting officials first.
Regarding the manpower and information possessed by the Secret Detective Division on the people in Liangshan, in fact, what Qin Yuyuan really knows is the staff around him, and what Qin Yuyuan controls is only the general direction.After he left, Cheng Zhouhai and others took the materials in the study, and sat down with Ning Yi, Yao Zunian, and Wen Renbuer in the grape rack outside the study, and this was the beginning of the formal work for Ning Yi. Confession.
As for Qin Shaoyu, he can't get in the way in such a relatively formal occasion, and Qin Yuyuan will not give up the opportunity of secret investigation department to that nephew, so he is not called to accompany him right now.
"A few years ago, when Prime Minister Qin hadn't recovered, the activities left by the secret investigation department were only in the north, so it was not enough to grasp people like Song Jiang. Now, although they are focusing on Song Jiang, Tian Hu, and Wang Celebrate these people, but if you want to talk about the power you use, you still have to go through the army. To be honest, relying on them to fight a war is bad luck for eight lifetimes. Brother, you still have to be mentally prepared..."
Among the three, Yao Zunian was of a higher seniority, and before Wenren Buer was in charge of the affairs of the south, it was Cheng Zhouhai who seemed a little cold when he spoke.At this time, what can be given to Ning Yi is the general information near Liangshanshuibo, the location and number of Chen Bing, the records of the previous officers and soldiers' conquests, and a few maps.
"To be honest, the most detailed information may have to wait for Brother Ning to go to Shandong before we can get it from Junior Wang Shanyue. Right now, we can only have a tentative idea... Regarding Junior Wang's situation, Master Qin should follow up with him. Brother Ning, right?"
"Well, it seems that...the temperament is a bit strange?"
"Heh, Brother Ning knew about it in the past. He has a bit of an extreme temper... After all, there have been major incidents in the family, but it is not difficult to get along with."
Speaking of Wang Shanyue, the expressions on the faces of several people were a little complicated, not joking smiles.This made Ning Yi temporarily overturn the idea that the other party is gay.They always say that the other party has an extreme personality, but it is not difficult to get along with. Could it be that she looks like a hypocrite but is as straightforward as Zhang Fei who scolds enemies all day long?Thinking about it this way, it can't help but feel a little weird.
During the conversation, the servants of the mansion brought ice-cold mung bean soup. When the wind blew through the courtyard, it was quite cool under the grape arbor. A few big bandits came, both of them were knowledgeable people, plus they were well-known, so it was quite interesting to talk about various topics, while Ning Yi drank mung bean soup and occasionally talked, and wanted to talk about his understanding of the situation in the world , Ning Yi is not as good as them, but when he was at Fang La's side, he knew a little bit, and he had a good vision, and he would not miss the point if he said a few words occasionally.Cheng Zhouhai and Yao Zunian already knew what he had done, and it was not surprising that he was unwilling to communicate with each other.
Talking about Liangshan, and then talking about Wang Qing and Tian Hu, Ning Yi's heart moved, but he asked about the situation in Luliang.Yao Zunian shook his head.
"There are not many people, but the place is very bitter. The old man has been there in the early years. There is a garrison near Yanmen Pass. The situation is better, but if you go to both sides, you don't care. The mountains are very dangerous, the ground is not good, and the road is difficult. Okay, Lvliang bandits are very vicious, and the people there can’t live without being vicious. Liao people sometimes go to the mountains when they raid grass valleys, but they are not purely for food. If you find a village and slaughter it, you will be a warrior. During the war, sometimes the mountains and fields are so full of fire that people and animals can't get out... On our side, sometimes we will go to the grass valley..."
"Our side?" Ning Yi repeated.
Yao Zunian frowned, obviously disapproving: "Well, it's not just the Liao people who fought in Caogu. They came over and we went over. After the sixteen prefectures of Yanyun were lost, that's how it is. We don't fight each other. But plundering the border people is a common practice. I couldn't see it in the past, but there is no way, the army regards this as training and raising soldiers... what kind of soldiers can be trained. But killing people and taking their heads is military merit After the murder, things and food can be robbed, as for women, needless to say... Of course, most of these things are still aimed at the Liao people and herdsmen, which can be regarded as boosting morale, but the people in Luliang Mountain are basically It also falls into this category…”
"Oh, that's right." Ning Yi nodded, probably able to imagine.
"Well. After all, no one can take care of that place. There are people. There are not enough things, and the crisis is precarious, so we can only grab it with a knife. Merchants on both sides pass Yanmen Pass, and the frontier soldiers will be taxed heavily. Just go to Luliang instead. As long as you live safely once, you will get huge profits. The frontier army has wiped out Luliang several times, but it has no effect after all. Save face, when they met, they robbed things and killed them. If the family members of the merchants wanted to cry, they would only say that the officers and soldiers did not do enough to suppress the bandits. In the end, no one liked them. I heard that some big merchants would secretly support the frontier army's conquest Suppress Luliang, once the campaign is over, it is impossible for the army to be stationed for a long time, since there are fewer bandits in the mountains, it will be easier for them to pass through the Luliang area..."
"Hehe." Ning Yi laughed, and the rest of the people under the grape trellis also shook their heads and smiled bitterly. They didn't know whether they would think that Ning Yi was heartless or that he was a person who did great things.However, the few people present have indeed done great things. Even if they dislike many things very much, they will not show righteous indignation.
"So when there are not enough shepherds at the border gate, the army will go to the mountains and find some heads to make up the number. There are a few... big merchants who specialize in getting rich by going to Luliang Mountain. Many of them were robbed and killed by Luliang, and they will go to the army. While instigating this kind of thing, if you take the head of Luliang Mountain, you can get a share of money from them, and the army took the head and told the court that it was a crime committed by the Liao people, which is equivalent to... you can get two rewards..."
"Is there no one in the Secret Service over there?"
Yao Zunian shook his head: "Manpower is not enough, and there is no point in arranging people there. They are fierce in the local area, but they can't spread to the south. It is the news from the secret investigation department from Liao and Jin, mainly They will go to Luliang instead of Yanmen Pass. According to the recent information, they vaguely mentioned that there is a stockade in the Tonghe Mountains, and it is developing rapidly. They don’t kill traders, but collect supplies in proportion to provide convenience. , but they have not yet fully opened up the north-south road..."
Cheng Zhouhai said: "I still remember that. They said that it will be much more convenient to connect the north and the south in the future. But... I'm afraid it won't last long. Once they open the north-south passage, it will be the end of the day." .”
Yao Zunian nodded: "No one would just sit back and watch them take such a big piece of meat. In the past, they were scattered in the mountains and their residences were uncertain. The foundation, others can't hide when they attack. This side will break them up, and the Liao people will clean them up after a cleanup. Although the Liao people are too busy to take care of themselves now, the Tianhu is very serious about this place. It seems that I have some thoughts... The border land is not inhabited after all, and it is rare to end well in that place..."
On the chair next to the small wooden table, Ning Yi tilted his head, dragged his chin and listened to all this, and seemed to be smiling.He wasn't thinking about the crisis that the two people in front of him were talking about, but about what Lu Hong had mentioned before.
Huanxiuxi is on the bank of the Fen River, and joins the southeast of Hu Hu Jin.Weeping and weeping on Luliang Mountain, you can die at Yanmen Pass.This is a poem he had heard before he met Lu Hongti. He probably understood what cruelty looked like in his heart, but it was only after Yao Zunian said it that he could feel it more accurately.In the past Lu Liangshan mentioned in Lu Hongti's mouth, although there was a saying that "people don't live like human beings", but for her, it was a bit of an understatement.Perhaps for her, because she is used to it, Lu Liangshan is not so "difficult to live on".
But when Yao Zunian talked about the entanglement of his own interests, Ning Yi could see more clearly what would happen there.
Years ago in Hangzhou, Lu Hongti came all the way to find him. Ning Yi could guess that Lu Hongti might want to bring him back to the mountain to help.But at that time, Ning Yi knew that he couldn't go, and he was actually unwilling to go to Luliang Mountain to suffer, so he first hinted lightly, and later, the other party really didn't mention this matter.Thinking about it now, he could feel how urgent the other party's desire for someone to go to the mountain to help would be.
It's funny how she didn't bring it up until the end.
Although that woman survived the cruelest environment, isn't she too kind to be deceived...
The concept of taking the booklet and leaving is completely different from arresting oneself and going up the mountain.
Of course, Ning Yi doesn't need to worry about what Yao Zunian and others said at this time.Profit is the starting point of all evils, and Ning Yi understands it best. In his advice to Lu Hong, he once mentioned not to advance rashly.Lu Hongti's village is called Qingmu Village. When it develops to a certain extent, it will only expand horizontally. The various cottages in the periphery can be controlled as much as possible, but they are not brought under his control. In this way, the lives of merchants who pass through Luliang Mountain are still in danger. Yes, but within the range controlled by Lu Hongti, it became a relatively safe transit point.After the comparison, some big merchants will only have a good impression of this place.
At this stage, many merchants will even support the development of Qingmu Village, hoping that they can truly open up a safe road to and from Luliang, but this goal will be delayed indefinitely.After receiving supplies and assistance, Qingmu Village will do its best to develop and strengthen its strength. Perhaps taking advantage of the Dongfeng that Jin Liao is fighting and Wu Chao is also bouncing around, it is possible to struggle to find a way out in the cracks.Of course, it must be a difficult process, even many times more difficult than what I thought before.
Ning Yi thought so, and suddenly felt that if he was free, he should go to Luliang Mountain to see. I don’t know how the martial arts heroine is doing after returning to Luliang...
