Misty rain and heavy flowers accompany the king's return

"Is it fun, son?" Back at the handsome mansion, Brother Tie poured hot water for Xiaoshishi and helped him cover his hands.

"It's fun." Xiao Shitou smiled and looked at the more than 170 coins that someone lost today, and there were still ten taels of silver, which was given by a merchant.

"What happened?" Brother Lan looked at his precious son, his face flushed.

"The 37 groups of merchants, driving donkey carts and mules, are from the southwest and the imperial capital. They transport grain, vegetables, tea, porcelain, mainly grain. Those who drive camels and horses, how many people from the north? Husband, what they are transporting are leather goods, cheese, and spices. Dafeng people wear plain knives, and northerners wear waist knives." Xiao Shitou said: "It shows that Tianfang County has developed commerce and trade, but it lacks vegetables and exports. It’s more messy to clarify the goods, and there are not all trading places, they are scattered, most of them are warehouses, and there is no big market dedicated to trading special goods.”

Brother Tie opened his mouth wide: "Good son, did you realize this by yourself?"

"Yeah!" Xiao Shitou nodded: "Mister wants to test me, otherwise I will be punished for copying books. Mr. said that I have to learn the art of war now."

Lan Fulang looked at Big Brother Tie: "Shen Luo, I really have nothing to say to our son."

Brother Tie looked at Xiao Shitou: "Good son, is it the husband who treats you well, or is it dad and you!"

"It's all good, you are all good to me, as well as brother Qingchen and senior brother." Xiao Shitou said, "Of course, and my heartless master."

"Hmph!" Brother Tie couldn't help laughing when he heard him scold Jing Gongyun.

"It doesn't matter if we're not your real father and Ah?" Lan Fulang asked.

Little Shitou looked at Lan Fulang: "Ah, I am your biological son, don't think I didn't see it. It's just that Mr. said that lovers are metaphors, so don't say anything."

Lan Fulang's face changed: "Why do you know?"

"Because the master said that I can be the emperor, I can draw inferences from one example, and I am the master's apprentice." Xiao Shitou said proudly.

Lan Fulang stepped forward to hug him, kissed him again and again: "Ama's good boy."

Little Shitou hugged Lan Fulang: "Ah, who are you?"

"Ah, it's King Luo." Lan Fulang said.

Xiao Shitou raised his head: "It turns out that King Luo is a brother, but this also explains why my husband can dispatch Lan Lingwei. No wonder the emperor is so kind to me, so I have never been alone!"

"Are you blaming Dad and Ah?" Lan Fulang asked a little nervously.

Xiaoshitou shook his head: "I'm very sad. I didn't have dad and aunt when I was young. But now I have senior brother and master, sir and brother Qingchen, so I'm happier. By the way, there is also the emperor, he really treats me as a child." Like a son."

Lan Fulang nodded: "He named you Yinyaowen, which means 'Xianyao' with the prince's Yinyaowen, in the hope that you can add to the glory of our Dafeng Dynasty, don't let us all Do you know disappointment?"

Brother Tie smiled: "The child is still young, don't put too much pressure on him."

Little Shitou looked at him: "No, Mr. is only this year old, and he is already unparalleled in the country. Moreover, Mr. said that he wants me to learn from Shen Baiyi, saying that at the age of 17, he has already settled in the Central Plains, swept the eight wastelands, and achieved a generation of hegemony. "

"He really compares you to the Holy Master?" Lan Fulang asked.

"Of course, my husband always left me to sleep next to me when he took me on expeditions. He told me about this every time, and taught me how to control my subordinates and how to discover shortcomings and strengths."

Lan Fulang sighed: "I have nothing to say. You have to remember in the future that your country can only be beautiful for thousands of miles with his great support."

"Well, I know!" Xiao Shitou nodded seriously.

The 20 cavalry in Tuna finally gathered gradually amidst the delay, and sent people to negotiate.

Shen Luo called all the senior generals for a meeting, including all the senior senior leaders of Qingyang gathered in Tianfang City, which was unprecedented in 20 years.

Brother Lan sat behind the screen, but Little Shitou sat beside Shen Luo, representing his students.

"The Tuna people are coming aggressively. Our defense must be solid to ensure that the northwest is safe." Qian Yueran said.

Jing Gongyun looked at him, then at Shen Luo.

"Stone, what do you think?" Shen Luo asked suddenly.

"I think it's the best strategy to replace defense with offense." Xiao Shitou said.

"This?" Qian Yue was stunned.

"That's my idea. Let's fight a big one first, and we must defeat their reinforcements." Shen Luo waved his hand and said.

"Ketuna's 20 army is not a small number." Qian Yueran said.

"That's why I asked you to discuss how to attack and how to defend. Let's talk about it. What does Qingyang think?" Shen Luo asked.

Jing Gongyun replied on behalf of Qingyang County: "We are all dispatched by the Taifu."

Shen Luo frowned, looked at Qian Yueran: "Tell me how you plan to defend."

Qian Yueran thought for a while: "Can we fight another battle at that mountain pass?"

Shen Luo shook his head lightly: "There can't be 20 people there, and there's no defense."

"What if we build a pass at that mountain pass?" Qian Yueran asked.

"The valley is too low to defend, and all our victories west of the Luotong Plain will be lost by retreating," Shen Luo said.

"According to your lord's intention, it is to start the war on the land of Tuna?" A general asked.

"Of course this is the best. The war is not on our soil, and it can delay the enemy's army, creating conditions for subsequent wars or peace." Shen Luo said.

"Then tell me about the arrangement of troops!" Qian Yueran asked when she knew Shen Luo's thoughts.

"The 8 troops of Cathay Pacific can come here at any time. I want to focus on the Imperial Forest Army. Your 6 people plus his 24 people, plus 30 Blue Lingwei, make a total of [-] troops. Thousands of cavalry are supporting the mountain pass, and we will have a large-scale decisive battle with them with nearly [-] people." As soon as Shen Luo finished speaking, everyone became excited.

"Then who is the main one?" Jing Gongyun asked.

A voice came from behind the screen: "Teacher Shen is in charge of everything, and the entire army of Qingyang is under his command."

"Yes!" All Lan Ling generals stood up and went back together.

Qian Yueran looked behind the screen in shock, Big Brother Lan changed his voice, he couldn't hear anything, but he had a vague feeling that the one behind might really be King Luo himself.

Shen Luo looked at everyone: "From today onwards, the Northwest and Qingyang will form the Northwest Road. This hall will direct all major military and political affairs, and the dispatch of troops. The Imperial Forest Army will be controlled by Qian Yueran. Commanded by Lan Gongyun. All major decisive battles need to be decided by the hall, and other small conflicts, you can act accordingly."

"My lord, what about the fortress?" Qian Yueran asked.

"Don't attack him, I will squeeze all the surrounding tribes who are interested in Tuna. If you don't want to migrate, send someone to persuade you to surrender."

Jing Gongyun thought for a while: "But what about the people who asked for Jianguo?"

"Let's talk after the fight." Shen Luo waved his hand: "I will support half of the army's supplies, and the rest, please go to the Tuna military camp to grab it!"

"Yes!" All the generals stood up and returned.

Shen Luo stretched out a finger: "But I want to say my ugly words first. You must not loot any tribe that does not fight. You can only do it if you have fought with us before and will not surrender."

"The last general obeys!" All the generals replied.

Shen Luo nodded: "Cathay stay here, other generals go to work!"

"My lord?" Cathay Pacific looked at Shen Luo.

"You take 6 people from the headquarters, go around the fortress, don't start fighting, show your attitude, then withdraw, and come back as if you can't be beaten." Shen Luo said.

"why is that?"

"I have my own magic, remember, the more you pretend, the better!" Shen Luo instructed.

After dealing with important military affairs, Shen Luo actually took the little stone to the city gate to perform art.

"This Shen Luo is really an unpredictable person." Brother Tie and the others sighed at home.

Long Qingchen smiled: "Who says it's not, it seems that the previous war has nothing to do with him."

"He is the art of the emperor, and he is not surprised!" Big Brother Lan said with emotion, if this person was the Taifu 20 years ago, there is still a question mark.

"Spring plowing is about to start, black taro is already on the way, and there is cotton and hemp. You must do a good job in promoting it. Especially the promotion of miscellaneous grains. Anyone who cultivates dry land to plant black taro will be exempted from taxes for three years." Shen Luo assigned tasks to the officials of the three states and six prefectures below.

"The mountain pass and wasteland in each prefecture must increase by [-] mu this year. Each prefecture must increase by [-] mu. If these bases cannot be completed, you will be demoted to a county magistrate!" Shen Luo said.

"Your Highness, what about the promotion of cotton and linen?" asked a county sheriff of the state capital.

"It's also a standard." Shen Luo replied.

"The entire northwest state capital can add 10,000+ cultivated land. Once developed, this place will become the most powerful border barrier and can be completely self-sufficient." In the evening, Shen Luo sat in front of the map and told Shi Shi arrive.

"Sir, I don't understand, why didn't you support General Qianda's proposal to build a pass at that mountain pass?" Little Stone asked.

Shen Luo smiled: "This has something to do with people's hearts."

"People's hearts?" Xiao Shitou showed a puzzled expression, and looked at Big Brother Lan: "Ah, sir, what does this mean?"

"He didn't want the soldiers on the front line to lose the courage to take the initiative because of the pass." Brother Lan said, "A Luo, am I right?"

"There is a reason, it's not the main thing." Shen Luo returned.

Xiao Shitou showed a suddenly enlightened expression: "I understand, sir, we can't let the small tribes around Tuna think that we will give up lightly, and make them fall back into Tuna's arms, so that our separation strategy will fail."

Shen Luo patted his head: "Little man, you are right."

"Then what are you going to do next?" Brother Tie was also full of admiration for Shen Luo.

"Send people to Tuna North to discuss their rebellion." Shen Luo said.

Emperor Qianyuan received Shen Luo's report and said to Guowei: "Let Tong Ge Lao replace Wen Hao to build roads, and send Wen Hao back to the imperial capital."

"The emperor wants Prince Qi to go to Beidi?" Guowei asked.

"That's right, only my siblings can feel relieved about such a thing." Emperor Qianyuan sighed.

"Your Majesty, this old minister has an idea. If Northwest Shenluo wins, how should we summon King De of the Southwest?"

Emperor Qianyuan smiled and took out a secret note: "It was written by your student."

Guowei took a look and saw Shen Luo's clear handwriting: "Yun Mo has returned, stay in Beijing for continued use. De Wang of Southwest, Prime Minister Yun recalled."

Guowei let out a long breath: "This kid, he even thought of this."

Emperor Qianyuan smiled: "You go and form a small cabinet with young people like Jian Cong, Baili Songran, and Qian Xiaoran from Qian's family, and I will teach you. You must employ a group of young people in the imperial capital." Stand up, and it must be Shen's old team."

"Understood." Guowei nodded: "After Shen boy left, don't say, Baili Songran has done a good job. Now the construction of the straight road outside the imperial capital is in full swing, and the Nancheng Wharf is being built and filled. It can be used at the same time, this kid has grown up very fast, and even handles cases very well, many people say he is Xiao Qingtian!"

"Little Qingtian?" Emperor Qianyuan sighed: "Oh, this brat, a few months ago, Bailiyu complained to me that his son didn't know what to do in the future?"

"Hey, old man Yu is proud now. Every day my son, my son brags, lest people don't know that his son is doing a good job as the governor of the imperial capital." Guowei shook his head with a smile.

Emperor Qianyuan let out a sigh of relief: "Yunmo is surprising."

"How will he arrange it when he comes back?" Guowei asked.

Emperor Qianyuan smiled: "You pass on Jianlai and ask his opinion."

"it is good!"

Jian Cong went to the small study, saw Emperor Qianyuan, listened to Guowei's story, and thought about it.

"Teacher Shen didn't give any instructions?" Jian Cong asked.

"Well, how can he instruct me?" Emperor Qianyuan smiled: "He said every day that you are the unparalleled scholar of the country, so you can guess what he thinks."

Jian Cong looked at the emperor: "Master Shen actually said that he should stay in the imperial capital in exchange for Prime Minister Yun to leave the capital. This shows that this is a game of chess. Based on my understanding of Taifu, he has a habit of doing things."

"What habit?" Guowei asked.

"It's to let people take the initiative to fall into the trap." Jian Cong said.

From the matter of King Yue to the subsequent changes.

Although Shen Luo didn't expect that the King of Yue would assassinate him, he laid out the chess pieces in advance, and even provided a hotbed for the King of Yue to die. This is Shen Luo's dark place.

But from the side of Emperor Qianyuan, there is nothing wrong with it. After all, King Yue fled to Tuna to die because of a guilty conscience.

If he didn't run away, no one would dare to attack Dafeng.

"Trap, then tell me how to play it, Yunmo will come in three or four days." Emperor Qianyuan said.

Jian Cong thought for a while: "My Majesty, guess, will King De's faction have any intention of recruiting King Yue's men?"

"It's not just about incorporation, I'm afraid this idea has long been a fact." Guowei said with a smile.

"That's it. After the death of King Yue, what is the biggest power gap?" Jian Cong reminded.

"The biggest hole in power, the throne? No, it's the salt tax department!" Guowei said.

"By the way, what if Yun Mo is in charge of the Salt Taxation Department? Is De Wanggao unhappy, Yun Xianggao is unhappy, Yun Mogao is unhappy?" Jian Cong asked.

"Smart layout." Emperor Qianyuan nodded.

"Besides being happy, taxation is indispensable. Yun Mo is greedy for merit, and Yun Xiang thinks in his heart that it is best to pass on his aura to his son in the future, and he will urge Yun Mo to snatch it." Jian Cong looked at it. Emperor Qianyuan: "So, as soon as he came back, the emperor praised him a few words. Then he seemed to say unintentionally that he would select the director of the Salt Tax Department. The minister is not talented, and he is willing to throw bricks to attract jade and let the Yun family take action. When the time comes, you see, Yun Is Mo determined to win?"

"Well, it's really digging a hole for people to jump." Emperor Qianyuan nodded: "I still jumped into it by myself."
