The Golden Age - Chapter 127
“The court?”
Qin Xiao felt grieved, but pretended not to understand: “Brother Fatty, which court are you talking about?”
The fat fish’s lips moved slightly, but suddenly he smiled and said, “I’m talking about the small court in the south.”
“Little court?” Qin Xiaodao said: “You mean Murong in southern Xinjiang?”
The fat fish nodded and said, “Not bad.”
“Jingnan Wang Murong’s far away in southern Xinjiang, how did his tentacles reach Xiling?” Qin Xiao said with surprise: “Brother Fatty, it should not be this.”
The fat fish said lightly: “Everyone knows that the King of Jingnan will be opposed, but the court has nothing but Murong’s. In recent years, the court opened the horse market in the north, in fact, it was to show good things to the north. In order to allow the Tusun people to keep themselves safe. The barbarians in the grassland, if they are in good times, and the cattle and sheep are full of warehouses, they really don’t want to go south. Their purpose of going south is never to occupy the land, but to rob the Tang Dynasty. Of property.”
“Data, silk, porcelain, tea, and even medicinal materials of the Tang Dynasty are all scarce things for the Sun Sun.” Qin Xiao nodded. “And these goods are expensive in the grassland, and ordinary herders can’t afford them.”
“There are too many good things in Datang. Before the horse market opened, they only looted.” Fatty Fish said: “When the horse market is opened, they can use cattle and sheepskin goods and other goods in exchange for what they want. In this way, Naturally, there is no need to fight, so the north side is still peaceful in these years. Although the new patriarch of the Duer Hubu claimed to be a son of natural selection, in the past few years, it has expanded its strength in the grasslands and annexed many tribes, but it will become a climate. If it can’t be done, it will take at least a few years to form a threat. He has not had the courage to go down and harass Datang.”
Qin Xiao frowned: “If he really became a climate in the desert, he would be a great enemy of Datang.”
“The court now has no energy to control him.” Fatty Fish said: “There is not even energy to control Xiling. Murong was not defeated by the court before he bowed to the court, but peace talks. In these years, the court has made various preparations, everyone knows it is In order to prepare for Murong’s preparations, Murong’s is naturally clear.”
“Are you saying that Murong was afraid that the court would really send troops to conquer southern Xinjiang, so it was necessary to start a turmoil in Xiling so that the court’s energy had to be transferred to here?”
The fat fish smiled and said: “That’s not just to stir up the turmoil in Xiling. The King Jingnan is a traitor and has a good wrist. Otherwise, he can’t sit in southern Xinjiang, and even the court can’t help him. The turmoil in Xiling is not just to attract the court. The attention is more important to attract the attention of the Wu Tuo people. Brother Narusheng stares at the Xiling Tiger, but there is no chance to start. If Xiling turmoil starts and makes a mess, do you think Brother Narusheng will miss such an opportunity? “
“Wu Tuo entered the Xiling, and Tang Jun couldn’t ignore it.” Qin Xiaodao said: “Tang Jun has no time to worry about southern Xinjiang.”
The fat fish nodded and said: “The King Jingnan is very clear that the southern Xinjiang and the Tang Dynasty are fighting against each other. The longer the time, the longer the time, the more fully the court prepares, the greater the threat that the southern Xinjiang faces, so it is provoking. The turmoil in other places consumes the power of the imperial court so that southern Xinjiang can survive.”
Qin Xiao understood it and nodded: “In this way, it is not impossible for southern Xinjiang to provoke the turmoil in Xiling.”
Fat Fish sighed: “No matter who is behind the ghost, Xiling must of course quickly find out the truth, otherwise the consequences will be unimaginable.”
Qin Xiao thought that although Xiling was under the control of the Three Gates and was rich in resources, in fact it was only a contest of forces of all parties. The Three Gates could enjoy glory and wealth in Xiling, not how strong their own forces are. It is nothing more than checks and balances by all parties.
In the gap between Datang and Wutu, it is like a piece of fat meat in the eyes of two tigers. No matter which side has enough strength to swallow this piece of fat meat, only the two sides have taboos, so that the Xiling gate valve can survive.
When I returned to Fucheng, it was already late at night.
The materials of the convoy are mainly grain and weapons. The grain is transported to the granary in the city. The granary is managed by the Yuwen family, but the weapons are transported to the weapons warehouse under the jurisdiction of Duhu. The fleet can only be divided into two. Sending the weapon to the arsenal, Qin Xiao took the rest to the granary.
“Wang Qi School!” Qin Xiao rode in front, heard footsteps behind him, turned his head to look, and saw Chen Zhitai running forward with a smile on his face.
He also carried two axes in his hand, which he naturally found later.
“Something?”
“The eldest son asked me to receive the reward, where should I go to get it?” Chen Zhitai asked.
Qin Xiao shook his head and said: “I really don’t know about this, you can ask me about it again, since the eldest son promises, of course, he will not lose his faith.”
“I know I know.” Chen Zhitai smiled and smiled: “I just heard from them that you are a riding school at Baihuying. You are so good. You are a young school and you are already a riding school. No wonder Kung Fu is so powerful. , Even I am not your opponent. I am still strange, my skills are not bad, ordinary twenty or thirty people can not approach me, how can you beat me with a knife? Now I understand, defeated in Baihuying riding school People, not shameful.”
Qin Xiao said with a smile: “Do you have anything else?”
“This…!” Chen Zhitai hesitated before saying: “There is indeed a little thing to discuss with you.”
“Speak.” Qin Xiaodao said: “But the ugly words are at the forefront. I want money, I don’t have it, I want a woman, I don’t have it either. I’m all short of myself.”
“Why can’t Wang Qixiao see me as someone?” Chen Zhitai followed Qin Xiao’s mount and walked while saying, “In fact, I am also an aspiring person, and the beauty of money really doesn’t care too much. . Wang Qi School, can you let me join the White Tiger Camp as a soldier?”
“You?” Qin Xiao wondered: “You want to be a soldier?”
Chen Zhitai looked back at the team behind him and said, “If they say they are serving in the Baiying camp, ordinary soldiers have five or two silver a month, and if there is merit, there will be a reward…” I feel like I am wrong. What happened, I looked up and saw that Wang Qijiao looked at himself with a strange look, and his heart sank, thinking that he really could not talk nonsense, this is to affect the official career, hehe smiled and said: “Of course, silver is nothing, what matters is that after serving as a soldier, you can defend your home and protect the country.”
Qin Xiao sighed, “Your third son, you were the three heads of the mountain yesterday, looting everywhere, harming the people, and just one day later, you want to protect your home and protect the country?”
“Riding school, everyone has time to make mistakes.” Chen Zhitai said in a big voice: “As long as it can be changed, it is still a good person. When do I see when I report to the military camp?”
Qin Xiao shook his head and said: “It is not so easy to enter Baihu Camp.”
“Riding school, I also saw the soldiers under your hands, their bodies are not as strong as me, nor as brave as me.” Chen Zhitai immediately said: “If I entered the White Tiger Camp, it must be your left arm and right arm, how can you miss it? “
Qin Xiao glanced at him and said, “If you enter the White Tiger Camp, I dare not say anything else, but there is one thing that is better than everyone.”
“The riding school sees my strengths?” Chen Zhitai said with a happy expression: “I don’t know what you said?”
“Skinned.” Qin Xiao smiled: “Your skin is thicker than everyone else.”
When Chen Zhitai stayed, Qin Xiao had shaken the reins of the horse and quickly pulled away from him.
The granary is located in the northeast corner of Fucheng. It covers a large area and is guarded by Hou Fu. The precautions are extremely strict. Several roads leading to the grain and grass are guarded. It is impossible for ordinary people to get close.
Qin Xiao pulled the grain, and the guards knew that it was the harvest of the thieves, but the convoy was smooth all the way.
When he arrived at the granary, someone came out to carry it, counted the number, and then registered on the side. Qin Xiao was invited to a small house for tea and by the way snacks.
Qin Xiao was rude to him. He was really thirsty. Someone came to tea and brought two plates of pastries. Just after two bites, he heard a cough coming from behind him. He turned around, and under the fire, he saw only one. A gray-robed man walked in from outside the door.
This man is about forty-seven or eighty years old, has a fat figure, has a beard, and has thin skin and tender meat.
Qin Xiaoxun thought that he should be the official of the granary, put down the cakes, got up and arched his hands, and said, “Where is Xiao Wang in Xiabaihuying, I do not know how to call Zunjia?”
“Wang Qi School.” The middle-aged man walked to the table with a smile: “Sit down and talk, you don’t have to be polite. Wang Qi School’s Yongguan Baihuying, I have heard it for a long time. Seeing today, it really is a young hero.”
Qin Xiao saw that the other party did not return to him. He thought that even if you were a food officer, I was a riding school for Baihuying anyway. On the other hand, his status may not be lower than you.
He has always respected him one foot, he respected others one foot, since the other party is so rude, he will not put the other party in his eyes, sit down again, took a piece of cake and put it in his mouth.
“How does it taste?” The middle-aged man sat at the table and touched his horoscope. He looked at Qin Xiao like appreciating antiques.
Qin Xiaoman said casually: “Alright.”
The middle-aged man smiled and said: “Wang Qi School may not know that there are seven or eight processes before and after this dim sum, which includes dozens of ingredients such as green plum, sugar, jujube, honey, osmanthus, etc. People are rare.”
Qin Xiao stunned, glanced at the cake in his hand, and then smiled: “Then I am blessed.”
“Some people are born rich and want something. Some people choose the right path, and they can also have anything.” The middle-aged man sighed: “However, most of the world’s living beings are mostly things like snakes, insects, ants and ants, born to death. There is no choice at all.” Qin Xiao looked at and asked, “Do you know who is the poorest person in this world?”
Qin Xiao put down the cakes in his hand, how could he not hear what the other person said, and asked: “Please enlighten me!”
“Being a poor person means having the opportunity to make a choice, but the wrong one is chosen. Not only is the glory and wealth lost, it is even irreversible.” The middle-aged man sighed, “This is the poorest person.”
Qin Xiao said quietly and asked, “Dare to ask who you are?”
“My surname is Meng!” the middle-aged man smiled and said: “Everyone calls me Uncle Meng, you can call it that way!”
