Chapter 1523: Ranking
But He Lingchuan immediately added: "Since you are going back, do me a favor by the way." "Ah? You say."
"In various parts of the Shining Gold Plain, especially in the central and western parts, there are teams acting under the banner of the 'Black Armor Army'. They are flourishing, but their strength is weak, and they are easily wiped out by the local area." The emergence of such spontaneous grassroots organizations is not forced by necessity, or just by hot blood. They lack both a program and a chapter. But they represent the sprout of resistance, "We have to help them."
At the beginning of the spark, they all need care.
Dong Rui was very straightforward: "Okay. Wipe out their opponents, right?"
"These teams are also mixed, you go back this time, help do two kinds of screening." He Lingchuan held up a finger, "First, screen the teams worth helping, that is, the teams that truly execute good deeds."
"Whoa, this step is not easy."
"What's difficult? If you are not sure, just pick the ones with a good reputation among the people. Besides, Fu Liushan has also recorded a lot. The Yangshan Chamber of Commerce is all over the central and western parts, and I will let them summarize the news."
He Lingchuan held up a second finger: "Secondly, help them counter-wipe out. If necessary, the Black Armor Army can appear publicly."
"Appear publicly?" Dong Rui was moved, "Great Emperor Jiuyou and the Black Armor Army publicly support these small miscellaneous fish?"
"Not bad." Otherwise, using love to generate electricity is not sustainable, "Let them know that people are doing it, and heaven is watching."
"Okay, okay, thinking about it is exciting." Dong Rui agreed, "As long as I find Xiao An, I will take time to do these things for you."
"When are you leaving?"
Dong Rui rubbed his hands: "I'm going for two or three months, let's have a drink before..."
He Lingchuan saw through his hypocrisy: "I don't mind."
"Then I'll go now."
Two quarters of an hour later, Dong Rui rolled up his bedding and ran away, disappearing from Yongquan Shanzhuang with the Ghost Ape.
Busy until the fifth day, Yongquan Shanzhuang had a new atmosphere, so He Lingchuan invited people to be guests at his new home.
Today's He Lingchuan is no longer the same as when he first arrived in Tianshui City. Although it was only a month apart, he had already become familiar with the upper-class dignitaries of Tianshui City by building and auctioning Youhu Shanzhuang and beheading He Yang at the Yao King's Longevity Ceremony.
In the two hundred years of Yao Nation history, there have been countless talents, but almost no one has become popular so fast.
He Lingchuan hurriedly moved out of the Sanmentou Post House, and there were reasons for this: there were always people who couldn't make an appointment with him, so they quietly came to the post house to block him.
However, He Lingchuan invited a private banquet today, "don't want to make a big splash, just invite three or five close friends".
So the "close friends" came, and also brought thick gifts to congratulate him on moving into his new home.
Since he started doing things for the Yao King, his relationship with these Pro-King factions has become stronger. He also made good use of this relationship to control the Yangshan Archipelago to purchase large quantities of various official materials. The rare metals, warhorses, spices, and other specialties that were originally limited and restricted for purchase were all opened up to him.
The red man in front of the Yao King, of course, has benefits.
Now there are twelve local chambers of commerce serving Yangshan, including the old brand Deyou Trading Company, frequently traveling between the borders, not only transporting specialties and materials out, but also moving goods from Yangshan and the outside world to the Yao Nation on the return trip.
Everyone knows that He Lingchuan just earned a sum of money from the Youhu Shanzhuang project. But these "official businessmen" friends of his in Tianshui City are eager to rush more performance through him; the bulk purchases of Yangshan will be reported to the Yao King, but he doesn't care much. First, He Lingchuan bought materials in large quantities, and the money remained within the Yao Nation and was not taken away; second, the national treasury was indeed empty and needed to be well supplemented.
Trade income is a very healthy income, what reason does the Yao Court have not to want it? All three parties benefit.
So the Yangshan Chamber of Commerce's business in Tianshui City is really flourishing.
Of course, this is just the surface account.
Privately, He Lingchuan also has a whole set of secret accounts.
Today, in addition to Fan Shuang, Gu Xuan, and the Yuwen brothers, Zhang Zhan from the Qing Prince's Mansion actually appeared, which was unexpected.
This person's eyes are on the top of his head. When he goes out, if his shadow is stepped on by refugees or slaves, he will whip the other party to death.
Ordinary ministers, he wouldn't even look at them more.
The Yuwen brothers also knew that the Qing Prince's Mansion only used Tianshui City people for servants and attendants, and didn't even want those from the far suburbs.
Such an exclusive and conservative figure has now become a "close friend" of Island Master He? The glory and favor He Xiao received from the Yao King is truly extraordinary.
Because it relies on mountains and water, the summer night at Yongquan Shanzhuang is very cool, so He Lingchuan simply opened the banquet under the grape trellis.
Which one of the people present doesn't have a delicately cut garden at home? Yongquan Shanzhuang can't compare to others, but the fruit trees here are already full of fruits. Several people sat under the grape trellis, and could pick a bunch of sweet honey grapes at will; if they were willing to walk two more steps, they could also find pomegranates that bent the branches.
Gu Xuan used pomegranate juice, added it to fine wine to adjust it into fruit wine, which won unanimous praise from everyone.
Compared with this interest, the exquisite dishes that He Lingchuan spent a lot of money to invite famous chefs from Tianshui City restaurants to make were not so eye-catching.
After all, who here isn't used to eating mountain and sea delicacies?
He Lingchuan first toasted Yuwen Yong: "Come, today is also to see off Yuwen Brother. Wish Yuwen Brother great success in the northern frontier!"
The Yao King's Longevity Ceremony has ended, and Yuwen Yong will set off for the northern frontier of the Yao Nation tomorrow.
Chatting about the recent situation in Tianshui City, no one mentioned that the divine grace of the Flying Flower Festival was too little. He Lingchuan didn't go to the scene, so he asked about the offerings in the temple.
It turned out that the offerings to Miaozhan Heaven on the Flying Flower Festival were still the Yao King first, followed by the princes and ministers in order.
Bai Tan ranked fourth. Gu Xuan smiled: "General Bai was still in the eighth place last year, and this year he was promoted to the fourth place, so fast!"
"Who ranked this position?"
"Temple?"
He Lingchuan said "Oh": "Master Liang?"
"No, it's not Master Liang, but the Goddess herself arranged it." This gold content is leveraged, "We saw General Bai was also full of spring breeze and joy at the ceremony."
The rise in position shows that he has received further recognition from the Goddess.
He Lingchuan was curious: "Then where was General Xue ranked when he was alive?"
"Uh." Everyone paused, Yuwen Yong said, "Last year was eighteen. A few years ago, it was about the same position."
"Understood." It seems that Miaozhan Heaven doesn't like this general. Otherwise, with General Xue's prominent status during his lifetime, how could he be ranked eighteenth? Yuwen Xu coughed lightly: "For many years, General Xue was also resentful about this."
Why the Goddess doesn't like him, General Xue is unwilling. But in the eyes of other subjects, this guy is a chaotic demon, doing evil things without covering up, how can the Goddess favor him?
This topic was a bit awkward, Gu Xuan talked about Qi Shu'an, the nephew of Qi Yunsheng, whose business has been very good recently.
He Lingchuan was strange: "Business is very good? Isn't he a lender?"
"It's just that there are more people looking for him to borrow money." Gu Xuan smiled, "Do you think there are really so many rich people at the Red Fortress auction? Many families are borrowing money everywhere to bid for Youhu Shanzhuang."
Yuwen Yong nodded, "I heard that the luxury residence the Xu family bid on was bought by four families pooling their money together; when the public announcement is made, all four families' names will be listed."
Zhang Zhan sneered: "Swelling face to fill a fat man."
"It's still considered good if several families can pool their money to buy one," Yuwen Xu said. "If they pool and pool and still don't have enough, they can only go find Qi Shu'an. I heard his interest rates are set very high."
Everyone stared at He Lingchuan and laughed. This guy can really suck blood, even the big families have no money.
He Lingchuan hurriedly changed the topic: "How is General Zhongwu?"
"Several groups of people have looked for him, but there is no evidence." Yuwen Yong shook his head, "I heard that the Regent went to find the King twice for this matter. Therefore, General Zhongwu will set off for the northern line in five days."
He Lingchuan nodded: "The Regent's ability is still great."
Zhongwu is also unlucky, Qingyang has to protect him desperately.
"What about Qu Ruhai?"
At this question, he knew that this Left Sect Elder of the Luodian Nation hadn't returned to his country.
It's not that he didn't want to return, but the Yao Nation found some reasons to drag him in Tianshui City, such as the Yao King summoned him yesterday, saying he wanted to cooperate with the Luodian Nation.
Concerning state affairs, Qu Ruhai could only stay with patience.
But whether it was him or He Lingchuan, they could guess the purpose of the Yao Nation, unwilling to let the "suspect" go.
Xue Zongwu's death, he still has a major suspicion of committing a crime.
He Lingchuan said a fair word: "How does Qu Ruhai look like the Great Emperor Jiuyou?"
Everyone nodded: "Isn't it!"
The Luodian Nation and the four words "acting on behalf of heaven" are really not compatible.
"I think Tianshui City can't keep Qu Ruhai all the time." Gu Xuan shook his head, "Unless evidence is found, it will have to be released sooner or later."
The Yao Nation detained the Luodian Nation's Left Sect Elder for a long time, which is very easy to trigger a war.
He Lingchuan added a deadline in his heart: at most ten days.
Chatting and chatting, the topic turned to the recent court.
Zhang Zhan picked a spicy fish belly and put it in his mouth to chew slowly: "Yesterday, the King mentioned the expansion of Tianshui City again. This is the second time in seven days."
The Yao King mentions it, indicating that his mind is urgent.
"Expanding Tianshui City, this matter has actually been mentioned for seven or eight years." Gu Xuan drank wine, "The King has never made up his mind."
Fan Shuang was also present and inserted a sentence: "Tianshui City should indeed be expanded. There are refugees' huts everywhere, not to mention stealing and robbing, and every once in a while there is a flea and louse outbreak, sometimes even epidemics, which is terrible, and people die street by street; heavy rains have been issued recently, my garden is low, soaked in water for more than half a month, and it can't be drained, the water can submerge the knees, the garden directly becomes a pond; alas, not to mention the flowers and plants are soaked, we can't even walk to the back door." ===== CHAPTER 1524 =====
