I’m The King Chapter 58: :Go to the county

Early in the morning on the second day of the turmoil in the military camp, Lu Hong and Gao Yuan embarked on the road to the county seat. After that, they went to squat on Ye Jinger's window sill. The two of them held hands through the window carelessly, and talked about love all night. Gao Yuan didn't rush to Ye Jinger's boudoir. Mrs. Shi caught it, it would be too ugly. He didn't have a good rest for several nights, Gao Yuan was riding a horse in the snow and snow, and kept dozing off, his head was resting It looks extremely ridiculous.

There were a lot of people in their group, accompanied by not only a dozen or so captured Donghu war horses, but also more than a dozen boxes containing the heads of the dozen or so Donghu people. Apart from these, the main ones were Lu Hong and Wu. Kai prepared a large number of annual gifts for the prefect Zhang Shouyue, not only all kinds of local specialties in Fufeng, but also dozens of jars of the best wine supervised by Wu Kai himself. There is also money.

Of course, the prefect was not given copper coins. As the weather got colder and colder, Wu Kai's wine was selling better and better. Calculated, in the past three months, there were three thousand coins for each share. Wu Kai himself received another thousand guan, and Lu Hong paid a thousand guan. If he entered the prefect's mansion and dragged out a sack of copper coins, it would be too eye-catching. For the five thousand guan, Wu Kai would give it all. It was replaced with an ingot of gold ingots, packed in a wooden box, and now it was carried on the back of the accompanying Yan Haibo.

Gao Yuan took ten guards, including Yan Haibo and the foot soldiers, and Lu Hong also took a few people with him. A group of dozens of people set off for Liaoxi County in a mighty manner. Keeping the contract, Gao Yuan was still quite excited. Zhang Shouyue is a miraculous figure in Dayan. In this place where a big noble controls almost all the government affairs, he is a commoner. Ten years ago, he grew up as a soldier From the beginning, struggling all the way to the position of the prefect of a county, guarding one side, is a legend in itself.

Although because of his birth, he was never accepted by the powerful and powerful in Dayan, and he was unwilling to entrust Liaoxi County, which had in fact become Zhang Shouyue's private territory, as a fief, but this did not prevent Zhang Shouyue from becoming a An important piece of Dayan's political map.

Zhang Shouyue was very annoyed by the actions of the rich and powerful in Dayan. Although he didn't care about these things, he had to think about future generations. In fact, I hold Liaoxi County in my hands, but after a hundred years, if my descendants do not have an outstanding person, how can I guard this place? Now, it is justifiable for the imperial court to take back this piece of land.

As Zhang Shouyue aged a year, this kind of anxiety increased day by day. In addition to intensifying activities in Jicheng, using money to open the way to persuade those dignitaries who controlled the government, he kept on Strengthen the army building, in order to reduce the action of those who coveted the Liaoxi County in Dayan after his death because of such a powerful army.

Of course, it is best to seal him directly to the Zhang family, so that it can be done once and for all. Therefore, Zhang Shouyu needs a lot of money.

Walking on the road to Liaoxi County, Gao Yuan's first feeling was that the traffic was too bad. On the main road, the snow was trampled into mud. The team can walk fifty miles a day, which is considered a good result Now, the wheels of the dozens of ox carts accompanying them would sink into the mud from time to time, making it difficult to move an inch. Everyone had to roll up their sleeves and step on the muddy road to push the cart forward. Except for Lu Hong, even Gao Yuan sometimes I had no choice but to join this rank. After one day, the whole person completely turned into a mud monkey. I was so tired that I couldn't even speak.

If there is a war ahead and reinforcements are called in from Liaoxi County, the road conditions like this will probably lead to serious problems. Gao Yuan walked all the way and shook his head. When the reinforcements arrived, the fight was over long ago. But this problem is not something that Gao Yuan can solve. Gao Yuan also knows that with the productivity of this era, this is the way it is. He.

But the more you go inward, the richer you get along the way, which can be seen from the houses where the people live and the dense population.

From Fufeng to Liaoxi City, there are two counties along the way, Waqi County and Lingao County. The closer to Liaoxi City, the richer they are. The local people are so happy.

"Gao Yuan, you see, now our business can only be sold in Fufeng County, and we can make such a huge profit. If we can sell to these places, how much profit will we make in one year?" Lu Hong sighed, before leaving, Wu Kai had counted this year's dividends to him, Lu Hong got 1,500 guan in dividends, after filial piety to Zhang Shouyue 1,000 guan, there are still 500 guan This is still three months, and next year, even if Fufeng is not produced, if this income is maintained, there will be a dividend of 6,000 guan. Once Zhang Shouyue's support is obtained and it is fully spread throughout Liaoxi County, Lu Hong couldn't imagine what a huge sum of money it would be. With this amount of money, raising an elite army is really not a problem. Lu Hong didn't think too much, a thousand people would be enough, Gao Yuan What he said that day touched him greatly. Why did the prefect manage to occupy Liaoxi County for decades? Isn’t it because he has an elite army of 3,000 soldiers? That is your own.

Lu Hong is not worried about Wu Kai arguing with him. Wu Kai is more like a businessman. I can't jump on him, the two of them cooperate, and they can use Fufeng as their own back garden, and with this power, their son's future roads will be wider. Lu Chao is a disciple of Li Ru and Li. , Master Li is full of peaches and plums, and there are many powerful people among his disciples. If it works well, maybe his son Lu Chao's future will be wider than that of the prefect.

Whenever Lu Hong thinks of this, he is so excited that he cannot sleep.

Gao Yuan must be firmly held in his hands. These days, the centurion under Gao Yuan has greatly shocked him. Gao Yuan only took over this army for more than two months, and he will The rotten army has led to such a strong army as it is today. If he is given a year or even a few years, how strong will the army he trains be?

Lu Hong is an expert. From the words, deeds, and actions of Gao Yuan's centurion, he is keenly aware that taking this centurion under the command of the prefect Zhang of the county city is absolutely second to none. of.

Although Gao Yuan and himself are not father and son, but he has always taken great care of Gao Yuan, and Gao Yuan is also extremely dependent on himself. This kind of family relationship makes Lu Hong full of confidence in Gao Yuan, and now there are business matters. Together, the relationship between two people will be stronger.

Glancing at Gao Yuan, Lu Hong smiled happily. Sending Gao Yuan to the army was the most correct thing he did. The lady's daughter, Ye Jing'er, after she went back, made her own decision, and decided on this matter. If you don't believe me, the lady of the Ye family dares to slander, even if they have problems with their backgrounds, what are they afraid of? Just like Gao Yuan said, As long as you have strength and are afraid of a ball, just like the current prefect Zhang, even if prefect Zhang takes a convict's daughter as his wife, the court will pretend to be deaf and dumb, just pretending not to know. Otherwise, it will save face for both sides It doesn't look good.

After returning, do you think about handing over Zheng Xiaoyang's team to Gao Yuan for training? Lu Hong has been thinking all the way. Guan's Shao Gang is an old man who has been with him for many years, so it is better to save some face for them.

"Gaoyuan!" Lu Hong called back.

"Uncle!" Gao Yuan rode up to catch up. "What's the matter?"

"You really like that Ye Jinger, I look thin like a painting, what is there that you like?" Lu Hong asked.

Gao Yuan didn't expect that Lu Hong would suddenly mention such a question, and after thinking for a long time, he said, "Uncle, I think Jing'er has a temperament that ordinary women don't have, which is very fascinating. I really can't tell, but I like her anyway, and I won't marry unless she is the only one!"

"Is it because you don't want to marry her?" Lu Hong asked jokingly.

Gao Yuan nodded affirmatively.

Lu Hong laughed loudly, "I dare you to make a private decision for life! Even my uncle, you are so bold."

Gao Yuan blushed and said: "No, Uncle, Mrs. Ye also told me that she will marry Jing'er to me after she turns sixteen."

Lu Hong's expression changed, 'Mr. Ye has already told you about this, I don't know yet, Gao Yuan, you make me so sad."

"No, uncle, I want to tell you, but haven't I been busy all this time, so busy that I have forgotten about it, otherwise how dare I not tell my uncle, Gao Yuan has no parents anymore , Uncle is like my father, and I have to make up my mind about this matter." Gao Yuan hurriedly explained.

Hearing Gao Yuan's words, Lu Hong showed a smile on his face, "It's not too bad, since you have made up your mind, I will meet Mrs. Ye when I return from the county this time. Make your marriage final, next year you will be stationed in Juliguan for a year, and after you come back, you will get married, what do you think?"

"Uncle decides everything!" Gao Yuan was overjoyed.

"That's the deal!" Lu Hong nodded and made a decision.

"Lord County Lieutenant, Gao Bingcao, I saw the county city!" Yan Haibo's voice suddenly rang in his ears, and the two raised their heads, and on the ground in the distance, the majestic city wall of Liaoxi City was clearly visible.
