Governor please stay

Chapter 244 As long as you have enough money, you can sell anything

Jiankang City was not originally a "city" in the traditional sense.In the beginning, it was an area based on Taicheng, with Stone City as the core of defense.Because of the superior geographical conditions and the fact that it has always been used as the capital by the forces in the south, the population continues to expand.

There are countless residents and streets in many small defensive cities around them.Over time, these places became one piece and became the basic board of Jiankang City.It occupies a very large area. Although it is not as good as Luoyang City in the Northern Wei Dynasty at the same time, it can be regarded as the leading city in the south of the Yangtze River.

The city does not have a city wall in the traditional sense, but a partial high wall is set up at each defensive stronghold to support each other.Therefore, "invading" Jiankang City is itself a false proposition.

Or you can put it this way, whatever, as long as there are no imperial soldiers and horses near Jiankang, it is almost as easy as pie to lead troops "into the city", just like going back to your own home.

However, to really "occupy" Jiankang, you have to capture both Stone City, which guards the Yangtze River passage, and Taicheng, which controls the location of the government and the imperial palace, in order to win Jiankang.

At this time, the Southern Dynasties were not a very controlling regime. The Jingxiang and Shu regions went their own way. Jiangzhou (now Jiangxi) had vassal towns in the north and powerful chieftains in the south.Guangzhou, the core of Lingnan, also experienced endless rebellions and never really ruled effectively.

These places basically follow the policy of "the one who enters Jiankang is the king". Whoever occupies Taicheng has the qualification to command these places.Of course, if you are qualified, others may not listen to you. As for how to operate it, it all depends on the ruler's wrist.It's a bit similar to "the master introduces the door, and the practice is in the individual".

It was just nightfall, and in a study in a Linjiang courtyard near Stone City, Zhu Yi, the official prime minister of the Liang Kingdom, and Zhu Yi, who had almost all the power in the Liang Kingdom, was having a drink with a young scribe. chess.

"Zhu Zaifu, the next time I come here, I'm here to fulfill my previous promise."

The scribe who spoke was undoubtedly Chen Yuankang.

Zhu Yi smiled slightly, pretending to be surprised: "How do you say that?"

He is in a good mood at the moment, because Chen Yuankang is very good at talking.Zhu Yi is not the position of Zaifu, but he has the reality of being Zaifu. Who wouldn't want to hear others call him Zaifu?

"Before, my lord promised Zaifu that if he could have Princess Liang as his wife, he would be very grateful.

Now that Zhu Zaifu has worked hard, my lord has got his wish, how could he not fulfill his original promise? "

Seeing that he took it for granted, if it wasn't for Zhu Yi's amazing memory, he probably really thought that Liu Yishou had promised him a big gift before!But the actual situation is that Liu Yishou's people officially contacted him today.

"Mr. Chen is very eloquent. I'm a little blunt. Where is the gift?"

Zhu Yi's greed is limitless, if Liu Yishou "must have a big thank you", then after he collects the money, he will have to ask the other party what he wants to do.If Chen Yuankang just fooled him with things that might be cashed in in the future, then Zhu Yi would let Liu Yishou know that even if he is a son-in-law, he has to stay low and be a minor in Liang Kingdom!

"Please ask Zaifu to call my entourage, and it will be revealed later."

Chen Yuankang said confidently.

Soon, his entourage, Cui Xiaofen's eldest son Cui Mian was called in, and Chen Yuankang whispered something in his ear.After a while, the servants of Zhu Yi's mansion carried ten heavy and abnormally large wine jars into the study room, lined up in a row.

After everyone withdrew, Chen Yuankang said calmly: "These are the carps that my lord picked up from the bank of the Yellow River, and then made into fish bream, which are very delicious.

Zhu Zaifu lifted the paper on the jar and saw it. "

What is fish bream?Mix fish and rice noodles together to ferment to make marinated fish, which was almost the protein savior of poor people in ancient times!It is widely circulated and there are many types.

Compared with salted fish, the biggest feature is: no need to use salt!
But if you want to say how delicious this thing is, how delicious it is in the world, it is indeed too exaggerated.Zhu Yi has long been tired of eating this thing, but he is only superficial, so he doesn't get mad now.

If Liu Yishou really gave him ten altars of fish, then he would retaliate ten times and a hundred times for this humiliation!

Seeing Zhu Yi's delay in making a move, Chen Yuankang made a gesture of invitation.Zhu Yi sighed softly, tore off the seal of one of the jars, and after just one glance, he was overwhelmed by the brilliance emanating from the jar.

No wonder it is so heavy. I thought it was full of water, but unexpectedly, there is not even a drop of water here.The fish inside is not carp, but "yellow croaker".

All are gold cast in the shape of a fish!
Even if it is not full, this amount is scary enough!
Zhu Yi retracted his gaze, sorted out his shocked emotions, and a kind smile appeared on his face in an instant.

"I have fully felt the sincerity of your Dudu Liu. This fish is really delicious."

Chen Yuankang put his sleeves together and bowed deeply to Zhu Yi.The two looked at each other, and both saw the expression they wanted to see in the other's eyes.

"Now that Governor Liu has got his wish, I will definitely keep an eye on the matter of the Great Wall Princess, and will not let the marriage become complicated.

It's just that Liu Dudu's courtesy is so heavy, I am ashamed to accept it. "

Zhu Yi's attitude became humble.

If you are not humble, you can't do it. Liu Yishou is generous in his actions and has a heavy army in his hands.This kind of person has already given you a large sum of money, can you take him for granted?

It's Qiu Ba!Even if I give you a gift, it's Qiu Ba!

"The beauty is there, but there is no place to live, so it's inconvenient. If Zhu Zaifu can find a place for my lord to live in. Then..."

Chen Yuankang paused, and with a mysterious smile on his face, he said: "This jar is only half full, and there are too few fish. At that time, my lord will fill all ten jars.

This is perfect, what does Zhu Zaifu think? "

After Chen Yuankang finished speaking, Zhu Yi's breathing became a little heavy.This Liu Yishou, who is too fast, will have trouble!Ten jars of gold, who can stand it!

"Where did Governor Liu take his fancy? I'm sorry to say bluntly, places like Shu and Jingxiang don't even need to be mentioned. I can return all these fishes."

Zhu Yi first vaccinated Chen Yuankang, implying that as long as it is not Jingxiang and Shu, then other places are not a big problem.Even if you go to Jiangzhou, you can arrange it.

"How could my lord make Zhu Zaifu difficult? We only need Shouyang, and we don't need Zhu Zaifu to work hard for other things."

Chen Yuankang continued to put his sleeves together and bowed deeply.

"Shouyang..."

Zhu Yi hesitated for a while.

Shouyang is not important, it is very important.But throwing it to someone like Liu Yishou is actually the same thing.

The reason why this matter is difficult to deal with is that Liang Guo itself is in a state of "square town separatism".As for Shouyang, it was taken back by Xia Houkui's elder brother Xiahou Dan.

The back of their family also took root in Shouyang, just like the princes of the same side.Liu Yishou wants to settle down in Shouyang, which is simply to dig out the old nest of Xiahou's family, which will inevitably cause turmoil in the Liang Dynasty.

Therefore, even if Liu Yishou is allocated a piece of land on the opposite side of the Yangtze River in Jiankang, it is easy to say, but it is not easy to deal with a "land with an owner" like Shouyang.

Of course, just saying that, for Zhu Yi, what he cares about is whether doing these things is good for him.The occupation of the old nest is the grievance between Xiahou's family and Liu Yishou. What does it have to do with this ruthless pigeon?

"Actually, Shouyang is not bad. It's just that the Xiahou family has deep roots in Liang Guo..."

For a moment, Zhu Yi had a look of embarrassment on his face.

Chen Yuankang said with a slight smile: "There was a general named Yang Dayan in Wei State back then. His ex-wife gave birth to three sons and died later. Yang Dayan married the daughter of Wei State's clan, Yuanshi, and died. Yuanshi was pregnant. The stepson pointed to the lower abdomen and said that my son should succeed.

Afterwards, the three sons fought with the Yuan family, which brought disaster to Xiao Qiang.The last three tried to dedicate the land of Jingxiang to Liang State, but failed, so they had to flee to Liang State with their cronies.These three people... should still be in Liang Country now, right? "

On the surface, Chen Yuankang was talking about things that had nothing to do with Liu Yishou, but no matter who Zhu Yi was, he had followed Xiao Yan for more than ten years and handled countless central government and miscellaneous affairs.It's an out-and-out old coin!
As soon as he heard it, he knew that Chen Yuankang was implying that Xiahou's family had been running Shouyang for many years, and if there was a disaster in Xiaoqiang, someone might dedicate the land of Shouyang to the enemy.

Wei Guo is now a fish belly, so it must be a fish belly in the future?Will he be slaughtered by others?

Zhu Yi didn't dare to guarantee this point, but he also felt that Chen Yuankang's thinking could probably impress Xiao Yan.

Xiahou's family is very powerful in Shouyang, and it is said that they have raised an elite private army of [-] to [-], which are not part of the Liang army's establishment. Are they really worth entrusting?Is there really no need for monitoring?

When Liu Yishou came to Liang Guo to seek refuge, the only one he could rely on was Xiao Yan or the central court of Liang Guo.With him in Shouyang, going to fight with Xiahou's family and check each other, isn't it safer than Xiahou's family monopolizing Shouyang?

Is it possible to control both parties in this way?
A series of questions flashed through Zhu Yi's mind, and he couldn't help but secretly become wary of Liu Yishou.

Why can't this person's request be refused?
Zhu Yi himself knew the "human relations" of those courtiers very well, and knew what money could be collected and what money could not be collected.But Liu Yishou was not in Jiankang, so he was able to cut in so "precisely".It has to be said that this person really relied on his own ability to make his way through the turbulent situation in Wei State.

"That being said, but... Xiahou's family is deeply trusted by the emperor, so it's really hard for me to speak up."

Zhu Yi didn't want to let go so soon.

"I heard that Xia Houhong, Xiao Zhengde and others were collectively called the Four Evils of Jiankang, but what happened? I heard that the Emperor Liang was quite annoyed by this, but he didn't want to go into it because of his clan's affection.

Among those sufferers, there are also local officials.Complaining and pleading day after day, even if the emperor wanted to defend Xiao Zhengde, he might have to do something to calm the anger of the people.

This Xia Houhong, from the point of view of the following, is already the first to sell the bid.I still have doubts about whether the Xiahou family is really so favored and trusted. I am afraid that they are not as confident as Zhu Zaifu. "

Chen Yuankang's words were repeatedly dismissed and beaten, which made Zhu Yi lose his temper.That's right, Xiao Yan's patience with Xiao Zhengde's party has reached its limit.He doesn't know how to deal with Xiao Zhengde, so what should be slapped on Xiao Zhengde may be transferred to Xia Houhong and others.

It can even kill them directly!

An outsider who has just arrived from Liang Guodu can actually feel Xiao Yan's pulse so accurately. I have to say that Liu Yishou, or his adviser, is indeed a powerful character!
Don't think that Xiahou Hong is just a dude of Xiahou's family, he will let Xiao Yan always remember that Xiahou's family is already powerful in the frontier, and even his children can't be punished for committing crimes in Jiankang.

No matter what the specific reasons are, how do you think Xiao Yan will feel?I eat vegetarian food, chant Buddha, and play sage kings. Is it just to let you dudes run rampant under my nose?
It can be said that once Xiahou Hong is beaten with a board, it is absolutely inevitable that Xiahou's family will be beaten.

From this point of view, Liu Yishou became the master of Shouyang and moved the Xiahou family's buttocks, which is quite logical.As long as there is someone behind you to push quietly, it can be done.

Zhu Yi groaned endlessly, calculating gains and losses in his heart.

"If Zhu Zaifu still finds it difficult, then I have a plan. I don't know if Mr. Zaifu is interested in hearing it."

Chen Yuankang said slowly, as if he was not in a hurry.

"Appreciate further details."

Zhu Yi said sternly, he knew very well that the person in front of him was also a formidable character, no matter what he said or did, he still had a good eye for seeing people.

"That's it..."

Chen Yuankang leaned over and murmured in the other's ear for a long time, and finally bowed to Zhu Yiyi: "If it succeeds, my lord will have a generous gift. If it doesn't succeed, it's fine, and Zhu Zaifu doesn't need to work hard.

What does Zhu Zaifu think? "

Although he was extremely shocked and felt that the other party's scheme would work almost ten percent of the time, Zhu Yi nodded calmly and said, "Then let me try."

"Zhu Zaifu is among the dragons and phoenixes, he can be called the pillar of Liang Guo!"

Chen Yuankang smiled and complimented Zhu Yi, and the stone in his heart finally fell to the ground.

……

"What should I do during sex?"

The bedroom was dark, Yang Jiang leaned her head on Liu Yishou's shoulder and asked a little shyly.Finally it was her turn to have the real bridal chamber, but until now Liu Yishou was still lying flat and motionless.It seems that he has no interest in himself at all.

"Actually, I'm very willing, even thinking about it, what do you care about?"

Angrily, Yang Jiang grabbed Liu Yishou's ear and tugged.

"No, it just feels a little bit like that. You're different, understand?"

Liu Yishou kissed Yang Jiang on the forehead, and the other party went stiff immediately.

"What's different?"

Yang Jiang hugged Liu Yishou excitedly, almost lying on top of him.

"Uh, when I went to your house last time, I took a lot of gold from your house and didn't return it. Later, your uncle Yangshen said that the gold was given to you as private money."

It turned out to be this matter!
Yangjiang said generously: "Take it and use it, Alang knows who he is."

"No, I've already used it up, let Chen Yuankang use it to bribe those important officials in Jiankang City."

ha?
"so what?"

Yang Jiang felt that Liu Yishou was a little baffled.

"If I were to have sex with you now, it would be as if I paid you to enter the house because of your money, so my perception would be bad, and I believe you would also feel very awkward.

When we get to Shouyang, let's do it again. "

Liu Yishou said with a little awkwardness.

"Uh, Ah Lang, Yuan Yuyi told me that you have kidney deficiency and need to take tonic. You don't have sex with me, maybe it's because of this?"

Yang Jiang suddenly remembered a "rumor" and asked in bewilderment.As for money or not, she has no idea about those.

"When did Yuan Yuyi say something serious! Don't listen to her nonsense! Let Cui Jiong put her in a small dark room tomorrow!"

Liu Yishou immediately became angry.
