Some things cannot be used to, Feng Yong understood early on.

If you get used to it for too long, it will make people take it for granted.

Although Zhuge Old Demon's character is very strong in the eyes of others, in the eyes of a certain turtle who has been tricked by him, Zhuge Old Demon really loves money like his life, and in order to make money, he even dared to grab the emperor's money.

Isn't it a matter of course to hack a local turtle's money?

Feng Tubie had no hope that Zhuge Old Demon would take the initiative to repay the money, which all depended on character.

Besides, no matter how strong Zhuge Old Demon's character is, it still can't represent the people in the government of the whole Han Dynasty.

The government doesn't want to lose face, does it?

If you want money and food, if you don’t come to ask for it in person, who will kindly send it to your home?

So it is better to set the rules early in the morning, hello, me, hello everyone, follow the rules, and everyone will not hurt their feelings.

After all, there was a large group of people standing behind him, including the emperor and empress.

If I knelt and licked Zhuge Old Demon too much, A Dou would have nothing to do with him now, but when he came to power ten years later, he would be less than thirty at that time.

Who can guarantee that when he sees himself, he will think in his heart: What a fool, you dared to use the small money from me and the queen to please my father-in-law ten years ago? See how I deal with you!

Therefore, even if Feng Yong didn't intend to get the money back, he still had to send someone to make a show.

At that time, Ma Di came to Hanzhong, and before entering Nanzheng City, he rushed to see the textile workshop, but was blocked by Huo Yi. Finally, in order to go in and see what happened, he even went to Nanxiang to visit the textile workshop. A certain soil turtle who worked hard.

Later, the ranch, which was thought to be just a small fight, has become an important output that affects the grand plan of the Southern Expedition. How could Ma Di not understand what is going on here?

Besides, as the two pillar enterprises in Hanzhong, textile workshops and ranches, he naturally had to pay close attention to them.

The more he pays attention, he will naturally know some of these things.

On the surface, the textile workshop and the ranch involved nobles, second-generation nobles, and even the inner palace and the empress, but to put it bluntly, in fact, a certain soil turtle was mainly in charge.

Tubie said, I need some money and grain, so Huang Wudie, the former richest man in Hanzhong, emptied his family's grain depot.

The local turtle said, I need some people, so Wang Ping did not hesitate to travel all over the deep mountains and old forests of Berkshire, and even Zhao Guang and Wang Xun went deep into Yinping at the risk of committing a personal crime.

The soil turtle said, I need to plant grass, so the queen did not hesitate to take out 20,000 mu of land from Hanzhong Metallurgical Corporation...

As for whether Huang Wudie took out her family's money and food because of what Zhao Guang said, whether Wang Ping helped find someone because of his favor, and whether the Queen had other thoughts to be so generous, those are all irrelevant. important details.

Anyway, it is right that the soil turtle is making wind and rain.

Thinking of this, Ma Su took a long breath, looked at Zhao Guang and said, "You and that prince Shi, you went to Yinping and made a lot of contributions, and now you and Feng Mingwen have started a workshop and built a pasture for the court. A lot has been done.”

"As the prefect of Hanzhong, I see all of this. I originally thought that I would report the merits of you guys to the prime minister in a few days. I never thought that you, Zhao Erlang, are so unwilling to make progress. It is really disappointing that there is only so little money and food!"

As he said that, Ma Di showed a distressed look on his face, "If you are like this, even if I report to the prime minister, I'm afraid I won't be able to reward you for your merits."

As soon as these words came out, not only Zhao Guang was taken aback, but even Huo Yi's expression froze.

In terms of rewards for meritorious deeds, to put it bluntly, it is to pay bonuses, and to accumulate capital for the future. Zhao Guang and Huo Yi are just young men, and they have the ambition to make contributions in their hearts. What Ma Su said really speaks for itself each heart.

"Ma Taishou is serious?"

Zhao Guanggang was about to speak, but he glanced at Huo Yi again, moved his lips twice, but in the end he didn't speak, but Huang Wudie came forward to say something with great interest.

"I am a majestic eunuch, why should I bully you?"

Ma Su looked disdainful, "Zhao Erlang, you have to think about it, if you wait until this cheese is not sold, Jincheng will not be able to produce military rations, this is not a trivial matter."

"When the time comes, I will miss the prime minister's affairs. I'm afraid that the credits you have made before will be offset by the credits. Your hard work will be in vain."

"Teacher Ma, we..."

Huang Wudie became anxious when she heard it, and immediately wanted to explain.

Unexpectedly, Zhao Guang stretched out his hand, stopped Huang Wudie, and said to Ma Di, "Mr. Ma, this matter is of great importance. I can't be the master. When I go back and discuss with you brothers, I will report to Ma Di again." Ma Taishou listen, how about it?"

Saying that, he glanced at Huo Yi again.

Huo Yi showed a little frustration on his face, but he quickly adjusted his appearance as if nothing had happened, and just remained silent.

Although Huo Yi didn't say a word from the beginning to the end, Ma Su understood that the empress was supporting a certain turtle.

It's just that no matter how much the queen wins over, how can she be able to defeat the prime minister who holds the power of the big man?

Just look at Zhao Guang's expression. Although he tried his best to hide his expression, what he said clearly hinted at his heartbeat.

"Okay, this cheese has been late for a few days. If it can't be collected, the imperial court may not be able to produce military rations. Even if I want to hide it from you, I can't hide it!"

Ma Su had the bottom line in his mind, so he was not in a hurry, he got up and said, "Then I will wait for your news in the city."

"Erlang, this is a great thing!"

Huang Wudie waited for Ma Di to leave, and said happily, "It's such a good deal for a little cheese, this trip is really worthwhile."

Zhao Guang shook his head and said, "Sister, this matter is not that simple."

"And why?"

Huang Wudie said strangely, "Didn't you also say that? You and Feng Langjun and Wang Langjun are like brothers. If you and Wang Langjun make progress, Feng Langjun will be happy, right? "

Zhao Guang glanced at Huo Yi again, coughed, and thought that sister's thoughts were too straightforward.

"Sister, you also have a share of this pasture, and you have provided a lot of food."

"Hey, what's the matter, as long as you, Erlang, can be successful, I..."

Huang Wudie paused when she said this, she finally understood why Zhao Guang kept looking at Huo Yi.

How to build this pasture, although Feng Langjun has the final say, but when it comes to the output of this pasture, it is not up to one person to decide.

As long as Erlang can have a future, it doesn't matter if he loses some money.

But this ranch has the involvement of the inner government and the empress, so things are a bit complicated.

Huo Yi felt the gazes of the two, and he knew in his heart that the two were taking care of him, so he smiled and said, "The Queen came to order before, saying that the matter of the textile workshop in the Hanzhong Ranch should be decided by Feng Langjun. You two just take this word back and tell Feng Langjun, I believe he will understand how to do it."

Huang Wudie's eyes lit up, she let out a long sigh of relief, and looked at Zhao Guang again.

Zhao Guang's face was serious, and he clasped his fists and said, "Guang will definitely tell the queen's kindness to my brother."

As he spoke, he smiled again, seeming to comfort and explain, "Jian Huo, but don't worry, I've followed my brother all the way, and I've never seen him lose to others. I didn't before, and I definitely won't when I think about it."

Huo Yi seemed relieved after hearing this, and nodded his head to express his understanding, "Feng Langjun, Zhao Langjun, and Wang Langjun are quite like the former emperor and General Guan and General Zhang. Yearn for it. Yi believes that Feng Langjun will not be a person with negative feelings."

Ma Su is the prime minister's most proud disciple, and what he said may have the prime minister's meaning in it.

Zhao Guang naturally didn't dare to be careless, so he wanted to pass the news to his elder brother as soon as possible, and hurried back to Nanxiang immediately.

Huo Yi sent the two of them to the intersection, and watched them ride away, feeling something in his heart, and stared blankly ahead.

The queen treats Feng Langjun so kindly, I only hope that he will not disappoint the queen's kindness.

It's just that when thinking of Huang Wudie's love for Zhao Guang just now, Huo Yi couldn't help feeling a little envious.

Even though Zhao Erlang and Prince Feng Mingwen have no name as siblings, they are indeed siblings. With his current momentum, he is afraid that he can even make decisions about his marriage. He is truly a person favored by heaven.

"Erlang, before, I only knew that you were ignorant, but I never thought that you can act so prudently now. It really makes me very happy, sister."

Huang Wudie and Zhao Guang were riding on horses, and they hadn't walked out of Nanzheng's boundary yet. Pedestrians passed by from time to time on the road, but they couldn't gallop, they could only trot.

Huang Wudie looked sideways at Zhao Guang, with a smile on her face, and her tone was mostly admiring.

Hearing this, Zhao Guang looked at Huang Wudie again, the vanity in his heart was inflated, he laughed and said, "Sister, I am also a person who has led the army. I have been with my brother for so long, and I have seen many things. , naturally know how to do it.”

After hearing this, Huang Wudie's face was full of joy, "I just like how aggressive Erlang is now. You and Mr. Feng Lang are like brothers, I think he will agree to this matter."

Zhao Guang was in a good mood, and immediately thought of joking, "What if brother doesn't agree?"

"If he doesn't agree..." Huang Wudie rolled her eyes, "I'll try to get him to agree."

Zhao Guang giggled, "If elder brother refuses to agree, younger brother has a way."

"What way?" Huang Wudie asked with joy.

"Brother is in love with Sister Guan. If Sister agrees to disturb Sister Guan less, I think my brother will be tempted three points. For Sister Guan, he can also become very attracted to Sister Guan."

"What kind of idea is this?"

Huang Wudie said dissatisfiedly, "The stone girl from the Guan family, I just don't like her. I don't know what's good about her, Feng Langjun fell in love with her."

The two talked and laughed, and when they left the boundary of Nanzheng, the road gradually became deserted, so they let go of their horses and started to run.

Yang'an Pass.

I saw a group of people and horses coming from the west, walking on the mountain road in front of the pass, looking from a distance, it looked like a long snake wriggling.

Most of the people in this group were dressed in rags, with disheveled hair, and stripes painted on their occasionally exposed faces, which were typical Qiang people's attire.

Jiang Shu led his men to stand on a high place not far from the pass, stopping the pedestrians from advancing.

The soldiers behind showed their blades, full of murderous intent, as long as they saw something was wrong, they would step forward to fight.

"Stop the barbarians in front of you, and tell us who you are."

Jiang Shu shouted.

The leading Qiang people panicked for a while, and saw a man walking out with his arms raised flat, indicating that he didn't have anything on him.

"My lord, the villain's name is Zagotel, and he came to seek refuge with Feng Langjun."

The leader of the Qiang people walked a foot away from Jiang Shu, and then he dared not go forward, prostrated himself on the ground, and said respectfully.

Hearing this voice, Jiang Shu nodded, stepped forward, and said with a smile, "Zagotel, I know it's you, get up."

It was only then that Zagotel dared to raise his head, and when he saw the young general with a beautiful smile in front of him, he was a little surprised and said, "So it's the little general, the villain has seen the little general."

Anyone who approached a Han city without permission would be beheaded.

Zagotel took his own tribe and took advantage of the opening of Ju County to sneak into the territory of Dahan, bypassing the eyes of most people.

The front got the permission of the adult in Ju County, and he said that he had notified the city behind.

Even so, Zagotel was still trembling, for fear that if he was not careful, he would be killed by the Han people and take credit for it.

I didn't expect to meet an acquaintance at this time, which is really surprising and happy.

Back then in Yinping, this young general was with the nephew of General Shenweitian, and he had been with this young general for quite a while.

"There's no need to be too polite." Jiang Shu helped Zagotel up, "General Ma in Guancheng got the news and ordered me to pick you up."

"Yes, the villain interrupted you. General Ma in Guancheng, he is a hero of the Ma family who fought with General Shenweitian. It is a great honor for the villain to ask him to personally intervene."

Zagotel said again and again.

Jiang Shu smiled without explaining.

It was perfectly normal for the Yi people to take the initiative to surrender.

But now that the big man is weak, Feng Langjun can still let the Hu people come all the way from the land of the Cao thief. This is a good opportunity to promote that the big man is still orthodox in the world.

The prime minister specifically explained it, how could General Ma in Guancheng not care?

"It's a good thing for you to understand the truth and abandon Cao's bandit and follow the big man. General Ma's move is to express his welcome. Come, you have met your little Qiang King first."

When Zagotel heard it, he quickly crawled down again, "The villain has seen the little Qiang king."

Yang Wanwan shook his head, helped Zagotel up, and said, "There are no more Qiang kings here. My father and I fled from Liangzhou to Hanzhong to follow General Shenweitian. It has been more than ten years, and the tribe has long since disappeared." Now, where is the Qiang King?"

Yang Wanwan did not shy away from his own scandals back then, and his expression was indifferent, "Now I am considered a Han Chinese, and I have a Chinese name called Weiran, so you can call me Yang Weiran."

When Zagotel heard this, he said in fear, "The villain dare not call the little Qiang King by his name."

"Okay, let's talk about etiquette in the clan later. Zagotel, let me ask you, how many people, how many cattle and sheep did you bring with you on this trip?"

Jiang Shu relieved the embarrassing siege that Zagotel called.

"Back to the little general, the villain tribe has come all the way, and there have been many casualties. Now there are only more than three hundred people, thirty and six cows, and two hundred sheep."

Jiang Shu exclaimed, "Why are there so few? I remember that in Yinping, your tribe had at least six hundred people and more than a thousand cattle and sheep."

When Zagotel heard this, his face showed sadness, "The little general doesn't know something, the Qiang people in Yinping are really struggling to survive."

"The King of Di Qiangduan forced the Qiang people to be the slaves of the Di people. If he refused, he would destroy the tribe, not to mention the cattle and sheep in the tribe, all of which would be plundered by him."

"The villain is still lucky to have these clansmen..."

Hearing Zagotel's dictation, Yang Wanwan's face became more and more gloomy.
