Duanmu Yuncheng and others looked at the note on the table and suddenly realized.
"No wonder he sent that convoy to escort the sugar workers to Jiangnan. It turns out that he has long been interested in the wealth of Jiangnan..."
"Tuoba Jun thought he would like Youzhou, but he didn't expect it was Jiangnan... Is he going to destroy our wine industry in Jiangnan?" Duanmu Yunqing was worried.
As early as before, they had learned from people who had placed poor students in Taixue that Liang Xiao intended to recommend these poor students to govern the prefectures and counties.
This kind of recommendation, first of all, the official department will not be able to pass.
Then only by letting Liang Xiao or someone from Liang Xiao serve as the prefect of the prefecture and county can the appointment and removal be convenient.
Duanmu Cao sighed: "Isn't that a matter of time? We must find ways to transfer manpower from Youzhou to Jiangnan District!"
The Duanmu family immediately sent someone to make arrangements to mobilize people from Youzhou.
Jian Canglang, who had just returned from the Gongsun Family Chamber of Commerce, looked puzzled.
Gongsun Yue was sitting aside, silent, not as domineering as before.
"Yuemei, why are you so depressed?"
Gongsun Yue glanced at Jian Canglang and hummed: "If I ask you to throw yourself into my arms all day long for my little sister, you will be unhappy. In order to get close to him and my little sister, I have to pretend to be good, pretend to be pitiful, and act coquettishly. ,snort!!"
Jian Canglang laughed dumbly.
Gongsun Yue was a young ancestor in Bashu, and no one dared to offend him.
Only Liang Xiao was lukewarm towards such a great beauty.
Jiang Fuxue is the target they must bring back to Bashu.
But the current situation is not optimistic.
"Liang Xiao is already a member of the Emperor's family, and he is so kind to Xue Mei. I'm afraid we won't have a chance..."
Gongsun Yue said: "I have many ways!"
"What if he becomes the consort? What will you do?" Jian Canglang asked curiously.
Gongsun Yue was startled and remained silent for a moment, the look in his eyes dimmed a bit.
"Then I'll go back..."
Jian Canglang looked at Gongsun Yue in surprise.
Gongsun Yue's words conveyed a sense of pity and loss.
Didn't she always play tricks on Liang Xiao?
At this moment, Gongsun Ling walked in with a secret letter, looking excited.
"Miss Third, there's news from over there!"
Gongsun Yue took the secret letter and looked at Gongsun Ling who left urgently, feeling confused.
Until her eyes fell on a red cross mark on the envelope, her beautiful eyes lit up.
"They belong to my grandfather! My grandfather said that any envelope with a blood cross mark is another group of core children of the Sword Clan, who are outside Bashu!"
After opening the envelope, the brother and sister looked at the contents and became more and more surprised.
"This beast actually plans to take these poor students to Yanzhou..."
Jian Canglang reminded: "This gentleman reminds us to go to Yanzhou to do rice business. Just do as he said. The rice merchants originally in Yanzhou don't have to leave, and some rice merchants will be transferred from other states and counties. "
Gongsun Yue just nodded and looked at the letter with a heavy heart.
"He actually wants to give up the comfortable life in the capital and go to guard Yanzhou..."
Jian Canglang said: "At least it means that he will not become the Prince Consort of Great Zhou so soon. You still have a chance, right?"
Gongsun Yue said angrily: "Where have you been recently and are you coming back now?"
"To find an old friend."
"It's an old friend again. Who is so proud that Xichuan Sword Sect takes the initiative to look for him?"
"Red Blood Sword."
"Red Blood Sword??" Gongsun Yue was secretly surprised.
At this time, Liang Xiao had returned home from Dingguo Hou Mansion to watch the information sent by Xuanwei.
"This Baihe, has he sold a batch of private salt before?"
Gu Pingxiu replied:
"His people are still selling, but the quantity is not large, and we are still keeping an eye on it. Originally, the master meant to take a long-term approach to catch the big fish and find out the bigger private salt dealer behind him! Later we found out that in name, he He is clinging to the Duanmu family, but he is actually clinging to the Tuoba family. It must be said that Bai He is so greedy that he has no idea that he is being used by the Tuoba family and will become their scapegoat sooner or later!"
"Private salt, how can it be so easy to make!"
Liang Xiao said: "Try every means to collect evidence of his crime, but don't convict him immediately. Control him quietly. No matter what, the aristocratic families cannot find out about this matter. Can it be done?"
Gu Pingxiu thought for a moment and nodded: "It should be foolproof!"
"Okay! Capture him as quickly as possible. Whether or not the Tuoba clan can be completely liquidated depends on this person!" Liang Xiao said with a smile.
After Gu Pingxiu left, Liang Xiao returned to the yard, looked at the lights in Jiang Fuxue's room from a distance, and smiled warmly.
Duan Yunxiu was writing with Jiang Fuxue. Jiang Fuxue kept saying "sister-in-law", and Duan Yunxiu's cheerful laughter could be heard from far away.
Jiang Fuxue saw Liang Xiao outside the door and quickly pushed Duan Yunxiu.
"Sister-in-law, my brother is here~"
Duan Yunxiu blushed, glanced at Liang Xiao quietly, and said softly: "Xue'er, you can rest by yourself..."
Jiang Fuxue obediently agreed, and after closing the door, she consciously turned off the lights.
Duan Yunxiu took Liang Xiao's arm and followed him back to the room, sitting aside and watching him draw.
Looking at the various ghost-like characters on the picture, Duan Yunxiu could not suppress his curiosity and said softly: "Brother Xiao usually draws these things?"
Liang Xiao knew she was curious and explained: "This is a design drawing, and some of the words on it are 'numbers'."
"Numbers? Not like one, two, three, four, five?"
Liang Xiao said: "The meaning is the same, but writing and calculation are more convenient."
"What about these symbols?" Duan Yunxiu pointed to the addition, subtraction, multiplication and division symbols on Liang Xiao's draft paper.
"I'll teach you addition, subtraction, multiplication and division." Liang Xiao was halfway through speaking when he suddenly remembered something and said with a smile, "I'll teach you tomorrow?"
Duan Yunxiu was stunned for a moment, then realized what he was doing, his pretty face flushed, he nodded obediently, and followed Liang Xiao to rest...
North of the North, deep in the desert.
The sky is full of wild sand, sweeping across the sky.
At the end of the wild sand, there is a large oasis, thousands of camps, and cattle and sheep all over the mountains and fields.
Thousands of Beihu cavalry are training.
In the central tent, Marshal Beihu in black armor and black robe looked at the map of the northern territory of Dazhou. The thick beard on his chin moved, and his left arm armor was floating alone.
"The northern border is more heavily guarded than before. That old fox Zhuge Hui even encouraged the Empress of Zhou to replace many northern border officials. It is impossible for us to take advantage of the situation like we did more than ten years ago."
"Back then, Marquis Lanling of the Great Zhou Dynasty was seriously injured, but he was still able to charge into the crowd of thousands of troops and take off my left arm. This is a life-and-death feud! I recently heard that he had a posthumous son, Liang Xiao. Recently in the capital With the rise of fame, those big families have suffered greatly?"
"That's fine. After our army is ready, if there is a change in the Great Zhou Dynasty, we can send our troops south. The Empress of the Great Zhou Dynasty and the Princess of the Great Zhou Dynasty should sleep with me! As for Liang Xiao, they should show their heads to the public!"
Dozens of Beihu generals below stood up one after another with majestic voices.
"I would like to follow the Generalissimo to expand the territory!!"
