After Spring and Autumn

Chapter 56 Meeting Ceremony

Mengyi is at the foot of Mengshan Mountain, the city wall has long been dilapidated, and weeds are overgrown.

It took a whole day to run around the general, and Meng Di smiled wryly. It is really barren. The terrain here is quite undulating, and there is no whole plain.

The population in the entire territory is not as large as that brought by him. As for the descendants of Mengshi, there is actually a small village near the city with more than a dozen families.

For Mengdi's arrival, the villagers were terrified, and pushed out an old man with a leaky voice to answer.

These people should all be his ancestors.

Meng Di knew that these villagers lived in a closed life and had limited vision. Since he came, the Meng family was naturally very happy, so he was not in a hurry at this time, and returned to Yicheng after rewarding some property and food.

The most important thing at the moment is population and food. According to the agreement with Yang Hu, I will forcibly relocate the households in Feiyi as the population of the territory, but the food needs to be resolved.

"My lord, the bronze sword brought from Han is ready to be used."

"Okay, it's time to visit this neighbor too. But this is an important matter, and the husband needs to go there in person."

"It's natural." Ji Ran didn't refuse.

Meng Di asked Ji Ran to follow Ji Ran with fifty bronze swords and set off for Fei Yi.

"My lord, are these all given to Gongshan Buxuan?"

"That's right, to be precise, it's in exchange for food."

What a sword, Liu Xiazhi almost drooled, if all his men were equipped with this kind of sharp blade, even if the army of Lu Guozheng came, he wouldn't have to worry about it.

"My lord, if there is not enough food, just grab it, why send these swords for nothing."

"Baojian?" Han Zhan laughed at the side, as if mocking that he had never seen the world.

Liu Xiazhi just remembered that the last time he was cut off by this man's sword was the so-called precious sword in his hand, he couldn't help feeling ashamed and annoyed.

"Okay, now you are no longer a bandit Zhi, so you can't do any more robbery." Mengdi paused, and continued: "What's more, with the high danger of Feiyi's city wall and the large number of soldiers, can you snatch it?" ?”

"I can't." Liu Xiazhi was extremely ashamed.

After Ji Ran set off, Liu Xiazhi was left behind.

"My lord, are you not satisfied with what I just said?" Liu Xiazhi was a little apprehensive.

"What did you just say?" Meng Di was a little puzzled, "By the way, there is something I would like to ask you to work hard on."

"Your Majesty, follow your orders."

"Do you have an elder brother named Liu Xiaji?"

"That's right, he's a senior official in the court, everyone in Lu knows about it." Liu Xiazhi said frankly.

"Your elder brother cares about you very much, so he is here to intercede for you."

"My brother is a loyal man, and he is the only one in the whole family who treats me sincerely. Speaking of which, I really feel sorry for him." Liu Xiazhi felt a little emotional.

"That's easy, you go and get together with your brother."

"My lord wants to drive me away?" Liu Xiazhi was taken aback.

"Of course not. If you want to achieve great things, you still have a lot to rely on. How could you be driven away?" Meng Di laughed.

Now, Liu Xiazhi was a little confused.

"Your brother is Lu Hou's confidant, you sneak back to Qufu to contact him, and try to tell Lu Hou that Mengshi can help him secretly."

Liu Xiazhi's eyes lit up, and he said in surprise: "My lord seems to have a big plan, is it necessary to deal with Yang Hu and Sanhuan?"

"It's too early to say these things now, but it's just to reserve some variables. This matter is extremely secretive, so don't let others know." Meng Di solemnly warned.

Feiyi is a large city with tens of thousands of households, and it actually controls more than ten thousand households. The city wall is wide and as high as several feet, far exceeding the standard of Zhou Li.

Gongshan Buxuan received the visiting Ji Ran and his party at the school grounds.

"How?" Gong Shan Buxuan asked, pointing at the well-groomed soldiers.

"I didn't expect Lu to have such a strong army!" Ji Ran pretended to be surprised.

"Hahaha." Gongshan Buxuan laughed triumphantly, "I heard that your lord can even wipe out Bandit Zhi, how does it compare to my sergeant?"

"My lord was lucky enough to win against the robbers and mobs. It's really nothing. How dare you compare with Lord Yizai's army of tigers and wolves." Ji Ran waved his hand and said modestly.

Gongshan Buxuan was even more proud, and said: "I have heard of Mr. Yufu's reputation a long time ago, and I even sent people to search for it. With Mr.'s great talent, it is a pity to stay in the small Mengyi. Why don't you come and help me?" how?"

"It's frightening to be so valued by the adults, but since you have taken refuge in Mengshi, how can you betray the lord?"

Gong Shan snorted unhappily, seemed to have lost the interest in speaking, and turned his head to watch the sergeant's drill.

Ji Ran didn't care, and watched together, pointing and admiring from time to time.

After waiting for a long time, it was Gongshan Buxuan who lost his patience and said in a low voice, "Sir, is there nothing else to do here this time?"

"In addition to visiting Lord Yizai, I also want to make an exchange with Fei Yi." Ji Ran stood up and saluted, and said in a leisurely manner.

"Exchange? What can Mengyi exchange for?"

"Exchange food." Ji Ran asked someone to bring a copper sword.

"This is the bronze sword of the Yue Kingdom!" Gongshan Buxuan and his confidantes stood up. The bronze sword was exquisitely crafted and glistened in the sunlight.

"Exactly." Ji Ran already knew that although Fei Yi was rich, he didn't have the strength to forge swords, and the soldiers on the school field all carried spears.

Gong Shan Buxuan couldn't take his eyes off for a long time, he picked up a handle casually, waved it a few times, and praised: "Good, good sword."

The copper and tin needed to make swords, as well as the craftsmen, are all in the hands of Yang Hu and Meng Shi. Gongshan doesn't want to get them, the only way is to exchange them.But Yang Hu and San Huan were very guarded against themselves, and they refused to let Fei Yi get anything.

"I want to exchange these swords with Fei Yi for five hundred shi of rice." Ji Ran smiled.

"If you want to exchange ten shi of rice with a sword, Mr. Yufu is really good at calculating." A confidant sneered.

"What do you think, Sir Fei Zai?" Ji Ran asked Gong Shan Bu Xuan, ignoring the others.

"What do I think?" Gong Shan Buxuan was still playing with the bronze sword in his hand, and said casually, "No, not even a single stone."

"Since Lord Fei Zai has no intention of exchanging them, then I will take these swords back."

"Take it back?" Gongshan Buxuan laughed loudly, "The descendants of the Meng family don't know how to be polite, so they didn't come to see them in person. For Mr.'s sake, I don't care about him, but these swords are brought Not going back."

Everyone on the side also laughed. It seems that Mr. Fisherman is not worthy of his name.

Gong Shan Buxuan squinted over, as if he wanted to see his shame.

"It's okay, since Lord Yizai likes it, let's treat it as a meeting gift from the lord." Ji Ran smiled indifferently.

It was Gongshan Buxuan's turn to be a little confused, "Is your master so generous? Did you give me all these swords?"

"good."
