Chapter 269
"Li Feiyu! If you leave by then, don't expect me to protect you!"

Seeing Li Xia turn around, Fang Yankai suddenly stood up and called him.

Li Xia turned around and asked, "What are you going to do?"

"I will return the Zhang family's fields, seize Yan Yunyun's salt industry, and abandon the Qingfu army's camp..."

"I will keep Liu Jinsuo, if you dare to act recklessly, he will kill you."

"you!"

"If you scare me, I will scare you." Li Xia said: "I thought you were a smart person who could figure it out. I also thought that you actually agreed with everything I did in your heart."

"Huh? It's too ridiculous, I agree with you?"

"Before I do everything, the landlord registers your objection, saying that I violated this and that. But after everything is done, I see that you clearly enjoy it."

"Stop talking nonsense!"

"This year's spring plowing arrangement is going well, isn't it? Zhang Daikun lowered the tenant's land rent, and heard that the county arranged for the renting of cattle. I also heard you sigh this morning, 'the spring plowing people are in the wild, and the farm tools are already standing on the mountain'. It seems very happy.

After the salt industry was rectified, I heard that you visited several times.Three days ago, at the intersection of Qingfu Street and Shimen Alley, you sighed again, "The life of a people is the most important thing in the world, and a gentleman endures and fights for nothing."

Not to mention the formation of the Qingfu army, the last time you accompanied me to Xuzhou explained everything..."

"That's enough." Fang Fangkai shouted loudly, stepped forward, and said in a low voice, "You are going to Dali, it's really indecent, leading troops to leave the county border without an order, the consequences will be very..."

"There are many county lieutenants who lead troops away from the county boundary. For example, in the sixth year of Shenzong Xining, Guixin county lieutenant Zangjing, patrolling horses across the northern border of Baigou, shot and injured Zhuozhou Xiaoying army envoy Gude."

Fang Yankai couldn't help but hesitate, and said: "Don't force your words any more. I don't want to fight with you, but don't threaten me to do whatever you want..."

Li Xia suddenly reached out and patted Fang Yankai on the shoulder.

He is taller than Fang Yankai, and also more upright, with this beat, his aura completely suppressed Fang Yankai.

"If you insist on refusing to cooperate, you will only ruin Qingfu and yourself. Listen to my arrangement, and I will become Shu Shuai in the future, which may help you realize your ambition."

……

For a long time, Fang Yankai was alone there, his mood seemed to be completely messed up.

He found that there was really nothing he could do about Li Xia.Looking back, Li Xia was more polite when he first came to Qingfu, but now he is called Muwuzhiba.

"But, it's too young, and he's a traitor again..."

Qingfu barracks.

Because Xiongshan sent his general Xu Tuipiao to escort Bai Nongchuan back to Dali, he recruited [-] more recruits and reorganized a few old soldiers to form a centurion.

"Hong Ah Liu, you are here to serve as the general."

"Yes!" Hong Ah Liu was overjoyed, and asked again: "General Bai, if Xu Tuipiao comes back from the south, what should I do?"

"At that time, one of you two will be selected to serve as the county lieutenant's guard."

"Really?!" Hong Ah Liu was overjoyed.

Xiong Shan said: "Young mother, you were startled in front of me, take your people with you."

Suddenly someone yelled.

"General Bai! I have something to say!"

Xiong Shan turned his head to look, and saw that it was Yang Ben, standing straight without turning his head.

He frowned and said, "Hong Ah Liu, lead the team to practice...Yang Ben, come with me."

"Yes!" Yang Ben answered loudly, trotted to Xiong Shan, looked him straight in the eyes, and said, "I'm not convinced."

"You are not convinced." Xiong Shan snorted, "If you fart, let it go."

"I have done more meritorious service than Mao Yi'er, why was he promoted to a hundred generals, but I am not even a general?" Yang Ben said, "Xu Tupiao and Hong Ah Liu are not as good as me in everything, why can I be a general?"

"Who told you not to obey orders, and make noise all day long."

Yang Ben refused to accept it, and stared at Xiong Shan.

He has a thousand words, and he feels that he understands the art of war and battle formation better than others here, so he has nothing to say to these big bastards, and he can't beat Xiongshan.

"Why are you staring at me? If you were asked to lead a few people and start a war, they would not know where they would be taken to you."

"I want to be the county captain's guard." Yang Ben said.

"This is not what I said, so get out and practice."

Yang Ben was quite suffocated, and he felt sulky again with his neck stuck, and finally ran towards his group.

……

This day, Yang Ben was sweating profusely on the school field again. At night, he went back to the dormitory and went to the toilet, standing in front of the pit to urinate.

A man in his fifties was transporting dirt with a dung bucket. He came over and said slowly, "Isn't it true that you are a thief in the army? I don't think Li Xia will use you much."

"Pretend your dung." Yang Ben said, "Don't spit in your mouth."

"Wu Yuan entered Shu at the end of the year, and Li Yong may have come to look for his son. If you can't find out the news, you can find someone else."

"I'll be a guard by Li Xia's side soon, and I'll tell you when I find Li Yong..."

~~
On the seventeenth day of the first lunar month, Li Xia went to Baiyan Miao Village to meet the village elder Xiongchun.

Xiong Shan was wearing a beautiful and majestic Baijiang armor and walked in front to lead the way.

Xiongshan clearly had a day off today and he was climbing a mountain. He shouldn't be wearing armor that weighs more than ten catties, but he likes to wear it.

Walking to the mountainside, taking advantage of the fact that there was no one around during the rest, Xiong Shan asked in a low voice: "County officer, can I tell Dad, is your wife the princess of Dali?"

"Ok?"

"I'm afraid my father will come in without knowing, in case he is disrespectful to the county captain... Oh, I never told anyone about this."

Li Xia heard what he meant, and it seemed that in the eyes of the Miao people, Dali's honorable name was more useful than himself as a county magistrate.

"Well, let your father not have to tell others."

"Yes……"

In fact, regardless of this matter, the relationship between Li Xia and Xiong Chun is not bad now.

Because of Li Xia's night attack on the camp of the Mongolian deputy Qianhu Nige, Baiyan Miao village and other villages went down the mountain and stole many Mongolian horses.

At that time, Xiong Chun had already made preparations to conscript horses from the county. In short, the Mongolian army had already arrived, so he could do more if he could.

Li Xia kept his word and bought all these horses with money.

This money is more useful than anything else.

"This time, I want to buy some tea from Zhai Lao." Li Xia took a chopstick and put it on the oil tea bowl again, and said, "Buy as much as you want, and ask Zhai Lao to help you buy from other villages."

Xiong Chundao: "In previous years, merchants collected tea and shipped it westward to Tubo; southward to Dali, and then Dali merchants transported it to Tianzhu further west... At that time, tea could still be sold at a certain price. If it is beaten down, the tea can no longer be sold.”

Li Xia nodded and said, "I heard that there are still people smuggling?"

"Maybe, I don't know about it. In the past two years, there have been traders who have received tea, but the price is too low, so the little old man asked his son to sell it in Xuzhou. If Li Xianwei wants to smuggle it, this is not a good way." get through."

"Why?"

"Dali is under the rule of Mongolia, and there are not many merchants there who can buy goods."

Li Xia understood what Xiong Chun meant.

Unlike trade, smuggling requires a specific channel.Wu Tong may have this way, but Li Xia kicked Wu Tong off the cliff without hesitation.

Li Xia intends to let Gao Changshou manage these things, first pave the way for the business, accumulate capital to buy grain and refine weapons, instead of always calling a bunch of soldiers who have nothing to die.

Whether it is the rebellion against the Song Dynasty or the rebellion against Mongolia, it takes a long time to prepare secretly.

That's why he wanted to bring goods south, instead of just bringing some money to buy horses.

"I can contact Dali people to buy goods, and try to reopen the tea horse trade." Li Xia said.

"Since the county lieutenant said so, it's a good thing for Yu Xiaolaoer, and he must cooperate with all his strength."

As Xiong Chun said, he looked up at Xiong Shan who was standing behind Li Xia in armor, looking forward to his own maleness, and sighed slightly in his heart, feeling as if he had sold his son to Li Xia.

He pondered for a moment, and said: "The little old man will buy tea as soon as possible, and let Xiong Aqi go with the county captain..."
