Chapter 398: Be Smart (Part 2)

What happens if you meet a master?

There are two possibilities, one is that you have no money or power. Congratulations, you are not compatible with the master, and the master will automatically stay away from you.

If you are rich or powerful, the master will teach you the laws of gods like you do to Sister Song Jiu, or travel from Sichuan to Tibet, then from Tibet to India, and to Nepal, just like you do to a certain singer. Until you feel the true meaning of the Tathagata Buddha, stay away from the world, or even decisively divorced from your husband.

But this ending is not the most tragic.

The most tragic thing is that you have power, and these masters come to a large group of people regardless of their appearance, serving you only...

Wang Yanfan, from Jiangling.

It is said that he looked different from ordinary people since he was a child, and he was very loyal. He had countless money and silk at home for him to spend, so one master after another came.

Especially his life is better.

Because his grandfather Wang Baoyi was a general of Jingnan, Wang Yanfan had some martial arts skills. After surrendering to the Song Dynasty, his grandfather's comrade Gao Conghui was trusted by Zhao Kuangyi. After he began to use it, he thought Wang Yanfan was good, so he recommended it to Zhao Kuangyi. Zhao Kuangyi asked Wang Yanfan to be the official position of the prince's servant, and later he was granted the title of Taizhou as the governor of Dali Temple. Later, he was promoted step by step until the ninth year of Taiping Xingguo, and was moved to Guangnan Transportation Envoy.

Therefore, he is not only rich, but also powerful.

The story begins with him when he was the magistrate of Zizhou. Once, a master of Zizhou, Mr. Du suddenly fell in love with Wang Yanfan. He didn't know what method he used, and even entered Wang Yanfan's eyes. After a conversation, Wang Yanfan said, "Master, you are the master of true master." So he invited many "Jinvs" to sing and dance, and had a great banquet for Mr. Du. Mr. Wang was very grateful. Mr. Du was very grateful and said to him: "My spell is very powerful. If you want to achieve great things, I will use spells to help you succeed."

I don’t know if Master Du’s spell casting or Wang Yanfan’s fate is better, but soon he became the Jiangnan Transportation Envoy.

Jiangnan is beautiful, and the scenery is old. Jiangnan is not only beautiful, but also rich.

Soon, Wang Yanfan discovered another master. This guy was named Liu Mao. Wang Yanfan asked Master Liu to make a fortune for him. First of all, he stated that the master made money quickly, but it was a technical job. When Master Liu saw it, he immediately determined that Wang Yanfan was not a simple person. He then said a vague sentence: "You should dominate the country."

Wang Yanfan was very satisfied, so he rewarded a lot of money. When he returned home, his servant came to report, and his colleague Xu Zhao came to visit. Seeing that Wang Yanfan was full of light, Xu Zhao asked why. Xu Zhao was his subordinate, so he naturally flattered him. So he said, "I am good at the Nine Palace Algorithm, let me push it for you."

It seems that the master is everywhere.

Official Xu and Master Xu forgot for a long time, suddenly jumped up and said, "Your Hou Dagui is not trustworthy, you should be like Lord Li of Jiangnan."

"Li Yu..."

Everyone knows this, and it turns out that this man is so good at this person. So his master Bo Tianbian also becomes a master, saying that he is good at appearance, and said to Wang Yanfan, "You are sitting in the shape of a king, with eyes, immortal nose, female dragon ears, and tiger eyes. He has great power and fierce wealth. He should take the four-door chariot today."

But at this time everyone was just talking and having fun.

In Jiangnan, so close to the capital, that person dares to rebel?

Soon, Xu Zhongxuan made achievements in Guangnan and was appointed as the envoy of the Three Secretaries of the Left Advisor. Zhou Wei was also appointed as the Imperial Censor of the Palace and then changed to the Transportation Envoy of the East and West Roads of Liangzhe. The court transferred Wang Yanfan to Guangnan as the Transportation Envoy of Guangdong and Guangxi.

If Wang Yanfan had not met a master in Guangnan, perhaps with his ability, he could not become an outstanding local official and be able to hold this official position. Although he did not want to be a top-notch wealthy, it was not bad.

But just in Guangnan, he met another master.

It happened that there was a little leopard who had not caught food in the mountains and forests. He was so hungry that he ran out to find something to eat. It actually ran to Wang Yanfan's yamen and bit several yamen runners. Everyone was afraid and dared not move forward.

At this time, Wang Yanfan took out his fancy moves. The little leopard was fighting until now, and he was too hungry, so he was stabbed to death by Wang Yanfan in the court with a spear.

Wang Yanfan was very content.

Then Zhao Yangui, the Guangzhou Zhengwu Hall, came to cause trouble. He observed the sky at night and said that Mars entered the Southern Dipper and the emperor went down to the palace and left.

Wang Yanfan thought of the words of the previous masters again.

It is not possible in Jiangnan, but it is different in Guangnan. There are five ridges and seas that are blocked by the imperial court.

Moreover, Guangnan has now become the fastest place in the Song Dynasty with economic and population growth. It can make millions of dollars in a year with just a few sugar workshops. Moreover, Song Jiu has begun to gain the foundation he has laid in Guangnan. From water conservancy to the cultivation of spice tea, from the Maritime Department to the increasing development of shipbuilding technology, from the surge in grain production to the integration of barbarians in most areas, the contradictions have decreased...

This will be a big version of the Southern Han Kingdom.

No wonder Master Liu said that I am domineering the other side.

Wang Yanfan facilitated his confidant Lu Tan and others to discuss how to send troops to dominate the other side. The fools disagree with their opinions and discussed for many days, but they did not come up with a good plan.

It happened that the court summoned Lu Tan back to Beijing to report his duties.

Wang Yanfan wrote a letter to the left handed over Wei Wusheng, using a hidden word to inquire about the movements of the court.

But I didn't expect that their group of people would rebel.

If you want to do big things, there are various conditions, but the most important thing is to be able to employ people and win over them. For example, Song Jiu couldn't learn from Zhao Pu, but it could not be called selfless. He deliberately asked to get close to Lu Mengzheng, Zhang Qixian, Kou Zhun, Lu Duan and Wang Dan.

He even deliberately pointed out.

Just like the little Kou, who was carrying a poem, left the capital, looked at the prosperity of the river, was excited, excited, excited...

There is also Zhang Qixian, who is fighting against the cow for Song Jiu and Song Qi.

It’s not that Song Jiu wanted to be a powerful minister, but he was also easy to use people. Like Zhang Qixian went to the northwest, he faithfully implemented Song Jiu’s intentions.

Song Jiu has many shortcomings in dealing with people. For example, when he and Zhao Pu and Song Qi were confronted with Niu, because of his characteristics of using people, there would not be many people who publicly stood up to support him, but many ministers would like to use it for their use.

But I hope that Wang Yanfan can learn the characteristics of Zhao Song's employment. Not only will he not learn it well, he will not win over the hearts of the people. He will even beat or scold his subordinates and abuse lynching.

On this day, Wang Yanfan beat his young general Zhang Ba again. Zhang Ba held a grudge, and happened to know some of Wang Yanfan's intentions.

So he ran to Wang Yanfan's political enemy, Xu Xiufu, the governor of Guangzhou, where to report the news.

Xu Xiufu was shocked. He quickly wrote the matter into a secret memorial and delivered it to the capital overnight with his quick feet.

...

Song Jiu was a little embarrassed during this period.

In fact, the ability to capture Li Jiqian was not only more than 100,000 troops, but also the support of the two soldiers of the Zhewang family, but also Song Jiu's contribution. It was Song Jiu who organized tens of thousands of pieces of information brought back from the scouts in front one by one, sorting out a detailed set of reference information. He also asked the clerks of the Xifu to cooperate to draw a huge and detailed standard map of Nanhetao, and let Tian Chongjin take him to the front line, otherwise Li Jiqian might not be able to be forced out.

But who knows the harm of Li Jiqian?

Moreover, the court is still spending money for the Northwest, and as long as it spends money, impeachment will continue to continue.

There were even many ministers who admired Song Jiu very much and thought that Song Jiu had done too much and came to join in the fun.

This made Song Jiu a little depressed, so he disappeared again.

Another discussion in the Political Affairs Hall.

Song Qi talked loudly, and Song Jiu held his cheek and thought, and actually wandered outside the sky.

Zhao Kuangyi suddenly asked Song Jiu: "Song Qing, who is Wang Yanfan, the Guangnan Transport Author?"

When the court officially reused Wang Yanfan, Song Jiu had already gone to Liaodong, but he didn't know where he knew. So he shook his head.

Zhao Kuangyi asked Song Qi again.

Song Qi's wife Gao and Wang Yanfan had some distant relationships, and he was now determined to get Song Jiu off the stage and wanted to win people over to support him, so he said: "This person is loyal and diligent, and is a loyal minister of the country."

"Loyalty?" Zhao Kuangyi almost wanted to squirt blood.

"What a loyal minister." Zhao Kuangyi waved his long sleeves and left the Political Affairs Hall.

Everyone is confused.

Li Fang frowned, Song Qi and Chai Yuxi looked at each other, with questions flashing in their eyes. Shi Xian was still the same, and he was not doing anything and hung up high, but Lu Mengzheng's eyes were filled with an excited expression.

Song Jiu thought about it, but couldn't understand it either, so he asked Wang Ming and Xu Zhongxuan: "Prince, Duke Xu. How is the finance of the three departments this year?"

"Mr. Zheng, almost half of the surplus expenditure last year," Xu Zhongxuan said implicitly.

Last year, Song Jiu initiated the Jinshou and took the opportunity to enter the Sansi Department and organized the Fangchang River Ferry with the officials of the Sansi Department. At the same time, some unnecessary waste was also reformed, but Song Jiu was low-key and over-powered, so the outside world did not know about this.

In addition, there were almost no major wars last year, and the weather was good. With the profits of Jinpuxing, it once again reached a surplus of more than 10 million last year. This year's scenery is also good, so it's barely a good weather. Without the Northwest Battle, the surplus would not be less than last year.

Xu Zhongxuan said that not only half of the surplus was used up last year, but also this year's fiscal surplus, that is, the cost of more than 20 million before and after the Northwest Battle was used. This was because Song Jiu launched a lot of military farms in the northwest, and used some cruel means to save logistics supply, otherwise the expenses would be more.

This is helpless. The time span is too long. More than 100,000 troops repeatedly cut and swept the northern part of Xiayin, and lasted for four months. If it weren't for some of Song Jiu's practices that made the Wang family and the northern Qiang very grateful, and dispatched nearly 20,000 light cavalry familiar with the desert Gobi environment, the Song army might have been ineffective in their training.

Wang Ming sighed.

He didn't know whether Song Jiu did it right or wrong, and what he made money was not used to spend it. Now that the northwest has truly settled, it may even take decades later, like the Northern Zhou Dynasty, the Qiang and Han families will no longer distinguish each other.

But it cost so much, is it worth it? This made him a little confused.

Song Jiu nodded and said softly: "That's good."

Wang Ming was confused, and Song Jiu was glad that he was prepared so well this time, with so many advantages, and it took so long to kill Li Jiqian. If Li Jiqian's wings gradually filled up, how much would it cost to kill him?

More than a dozen big men left with their own hearts.

In fact, if Song Qi hadn't been too smart, he might have succeeded. After all, Zhao Kuangyi and Wang Ming had the same thoughts, thinking that Song Jiu had done too much. In addition to the opposition of many ministers, it may be possible to temporarily deport Song Jiu to the local area in order to appease everyone's hearts.

But when it comes to Zhao Yuanzuo's affairs, Song Qi was too smart, and Zhao Kuangyi finally realized it later, which made Zhao Kuangyi displeased. Therefore, while sending someone to capture Wang Yanfan and others, he deliberately asked Song Qi.

Not long after, the Central Envoy captured Wang Yanfan, verified that Zhang Ba's report was true, and abandoned Wang Yanfan, Lu Tan and others. At the same time, he took advantage of the situation and dismissed Song Qi as the prime minister. Because Chai Yuxi and Song Qi were approaching, he issued an edict to deeply blame Chai Yuxi and appointed General Xiaowei as the governor of Cangzhou.

In fact, if there was no battle in the northwest, Song Jiu might have entered the Secretariat this time.

But because of the Northwest War, except for Song Chai, the remaining personnel of the two prefectures remained unchanged, but Li Fang took over Song Qi's position.

However, Song Jiu didn't care, and he didn't even want to leave the Western Palace.

But Song Qi went down and the court became quiet.

The conflict between Li Fang and Song Jiu is not small now, but Li Fang has relatively gentle personality and loves to be more face-to-face when doing things. Li Fang does not fight, and Song Jiu will not fight.

If they don’t fight, what else can the people below fight for?

Time flies into the third year of Yongxi.

The governor of Xiongzhou He Lingtu, his father, the governor of Yuezhou, Huaipu, and the envoy of Wensi, Xue Jizhao, the envoy of the military weapon warehouse, Liu Wenyu, and the deputy envoy of Chongyi, Hou Mo Chenyi, and others successively wrote letters saying that the Khitan ruler was young and that the state affairs were determined by his mother. His general Han Derang was favored and took advantage of the situation. The people of Liao were afraid of it and asked to take Youji as he took advantage of his provocation.

Because they were on the northern border, and after the Song Jiu reform, each side relaxed their rights, so they found out some news and attached a private gossip about Xiao Yanyan.

It is said that after Emperor Jingzong of Liao, Xiao Yanyan was lonely and found three mistresses in total. One was Han Derang. In order to achieve the goal of long-term mistresses, Xiao Yanyan sent someone to kill Han Derang's wife, and then ate with her, stayed and flew with her, which was like a couple. But perhaps Han Derang was handsome, and that job was a little useless, so Xiao Yanyan found two other male favorites, one was the medical engineer Di Hei Gu, the other was the king of Peking University, and the disciple general.

Moreover, Xiao Yanyan was cruel by nature and liked to kill and punish, so everyone in the Liao Kingdom was dissatisfied with him.

With this empress dowager, the Northern Expedition of the Song Dynasty was even more successful.

He Huaipu is the brother of Zhao Kuangyin's first wife, He and Zhao Dezhao's uncle. But what is strange is that when Zhao Kuangyin was alive, he did not value He Huaipu and his son. On the contrary, when Zhao Kuangyi was in his hands, the father and son were reused one after another. This also proves Song Jiu's speculation that Zhao Kuangyin did not want to support Zhao Dezhao as the crown prince. He was interested in Zhao Defang. Another thing: Zhao Kuangyin died and Zhao Kuangyi entered the palace. Pan Lian'er's best friend, Queen Song, asked Wang Jien: "But Defang is here?"

Liu Wenyu is the nephew of Liu, the second grandfather of Zhao Da and Zhao.

Hou Mochen's surname was very strange. The surname was Hou Mochen and his name was Yu. He came from Yizhou. In the early years of Taiping Xingguo, he came to the capital to make a living. He once fell to the point of selling fake medicine on the street. Because he knew how to use his skills, he was valued by Chen Congxin, who loved gods, and recommended it to Zhao Kuangyi, and thus began to rise to power.

It is not important to look at the official position of these people, but after careful analysis, these people are actually Zhao Kuangyi's confidants, and what they say represents Zhao Kuangyi's intention in a sense.
