The Heroine’s Route is Wrong

Being in Xiazhou, Zhao Qingyi will inevitably have a sense of revisiting. The ancient times she wears, except for her life as a fairy, are all civilizations that are almost within two hundred years of this life. Therefore, she has all been to Xiazhou. The scenery of the Northwest Frontier Fortress is very different from that of the Central Plains.

The original dynasty, like the Song dynasty, did not strictly restrict population movement like the Ming dynasty, so there was no need for documents such as official guides to go to other places, but when they arrived at the gate of Xiazhou, Zhao Qingyi and Yuan Jing met little ghosts.

But seeing a small official at the gate of the city with a few staff guards here, placed a large basket, and levied an entrance tax on the people entering and leaving the city. If you bring something to sell in the city, you don’t need to appraise it.

Yuan Jing is a noble person, wherever he usually shows up, regardless of his identity, he is willing to point out that someone’s ancestor's tomb is full of smoke.

Seeing that the two father-and-son stall vendors in front of Zhao Qingyi paid twenty cents to go into the city, Zhao Qingyi also took out twenty cents and gave them to the staff. However, the little official looked at Zhao Qingyi and Yuan Jing, both of them are outstanding in appearance and well-dressed, and said: "One or two silvers per person."

Zhao Qingyi said: "I think the people in front are all ten cents."

The official said: "The money for entering the door is divided into nine grades. Whether it is the poor or the rich gentry, the grade is determined based on your worth. According to your clothes, there is no shortage of two and two. Don’t be bad. Rules."

Zhao Qingyi said: "I have been to many places. I have never seen anyone who has to collect money when entering the city. The court does not have this rule."

The official said: "If it weren't for our grown-ups, the bullies would kill him. If you want to live, you must abide by the rules of our grown-ups!"

Zhao Qingyi didn't want to be wordy anymore, so she took out two silver scorpions and threw them into the basket. Only then did she enter the city with Yuan Jing, who looked disgusted with noble but forbearing.

After the massacre 17 or 18 years ago, Xiazhou prospered again. This is an important frontier town. Business houses from various countries in the Western Regions and the Central Plains gather here, and there are many Huren in the inn.

Zhao Qingyi and Yuan Jing simply used dinner in the lobby. The dishes from the northwest did not suit Yuan Jing's taste, so he only used it a little. The two went back to the room and settled first. The two guest rooms were next door. Zhao Qingyi was planning a way to find out various news, so he heard Yuan Jing knock on the door and come in.

Zhao Qingyi asked him to sit down and poured him tea. Yuan Jing disliked this kind of cold tea in the inn very much. Seeing that she was also from a wealthy background, no one was as good as her in terms of food, and she could eat even if she was sitting with a group of beggars, which made him secretly wondering.

He still doubts her origins, if there is such a clever warlock in the world that can change his life like this, he doesn't believe it very much, because she is too young.

If she is as old as him, then he can believe it.

Yuan Jing asked: "How do you plan to inquire about the news, do you need my help?"

Zhao Qingyi thought for a while, and said, "Even if I want to move the northwest, it would be very annoying. It would be simple if it was only an internal matter, but you can see that there are so many Hu businessmen coming into the city today. There is a turmoil, news. It spread, and external forces must come to pick up the bargain. If the court can solve it with money, it’s still good. It’s just that they are unbelievable, but they are told to know about the Northwest civil strife, and if they take the money, they have to pick up the bargain. What’s more terrifying is that they have been buying for many years. Accumulation, money and food, Shizhou, Yanzhou and other places also regarded Xiazhou Daying as the head of the horse. If the court moves and the dog jumps over the wall to launch a mutiny, the man will crack the soil and self-appointed or belong to Xiqiang. "

Although Yuan Jing is easy to reason, but doesn't make sense of actual political affairs, he can't help asking: "Can you kill Li Ye?"

Zhao Qingyi said: "Then the Li family still has to appeal to the court for redress for Li Ye. This is a loyal minister and good general. There is no need to investigate the cause of Gu Ming's death... Well, it's not impossible."

Yuan Jing smiled and said, "What did you think of again?"

Zhao Qingyi said: "There is not so much light and righteousness in the affairs of the imperial court. Just use it and don't let the people suffer. Let's find out the details of the northwest, especially where the money and food of the Li family are placed, and what is there. I will go back and talk to the emperor. To be clear, he has no better way, I can direct a big show!"

Yuan Jing smiled and said, "You killed Li Ye with martial arts and robbed him of his money?"

Zhao Qingyi said: "This way the northwest will definitely be chaotic. The imperial court had better send an imperial commissioner. When setting up a banquet award, kill Li Ye and his right hand. We will investigate the charges now, and we can press it when the time comes. . Then send another group of people to take all the greedy money and food of the Li Ye Group and distribute it to the middle and lower-level soldiers to stabilize the military. In this way, the northwest camp still retains most of the combat power, and the temporary invasion of the West Qiang and Tubo can still be resisted. After that, the Northwest Army gradually became in his own hands."

Yuan Jing said: "Although the strategy is good, I don't know if the prince has someone who can send it."

Zhao Qingyi thought: In addition to the huge mother clan and the original wife clan, it is the civil servants and the under-experienced guards. There really is no capable person who belongs to him.

Zhao Qingyi took a long breath and said, "I don't think about it so much now, and let the emperor make up his mind at that time."

Yuan Jing said: "In short, you have to be so deeply involved with the court."

"Brother, I originally came by the emperor's order."

Yuan Jing said, "Have you considered the consequences? The emperor can send you now. He needs you now and can tolerate you, but I am afraid he will get rid of you in the future."

Zhao Qingyi said: "No, he can't kill me anymore."

"Then what if you threaten your family?"

Zhao Qingyi said: "Then I also caught his wife and son and threatened it, what's so great."

If it's someone else, she must think about saving people first, but Zhao Qingyi has thought about this issue a long time ago. She said to Guo Yanjin that she didn't miss her family is also a fake. If the royal family were to move the Zhao family like this in the end, she would definitely do it.

Yuan Jing said: "So... wait for you, what about when you are old? Are you still capable of threats?"

"The emperor had already changed by then."

Yuan Jing said: "When the Northwest is Taiping, you have also promoted your mother's family, and the royal family won't turn your face with you. What are you going to do?"

Zhao Qingyi said strangely: "Brother, what are you asking about this?"

At the beginning, Yuan Jing was still embarrassed and said: "The prince, is he a good person?"

Zhao Qingyi said: "It should be. Brother, if you don't like the affairs of the court, you should go back to the mountain first. After I finish everything, I will visit you."

Yuan Jing said: "Everything is here, you are alone, I don't worry about you."

Zhao Qingyi couldn't help but wonder, and thought that although he was a little weird, he was going to trap her to find out, but in general he still didn't know her, it was not bad. Although there were three more dead masters who had never seen her before, she didn't lose much.

Yuan Jing said again: "Do you need manpower?"

Zhao Qingyi returned to his senses and said: "This matter can't be leaked out. Once it is leaked, it will startle."

Yuan Jingdao: "Just send someone to ask for some information, others don't know your intentions."

Zhao Qingyi said strangely: "You also have connections here?"

Yuan Jingdao: "Qingxuzi, the leader of the Kongtong School, is one of my nephews. The Kongtong School is the largest school in the northwest. The Central Plains warriors in the northwest are somewhat related to the Kongtong School."

Zhao Qingyi couldn't help but froze, and said, "It can still be like this? How can the Kongtong School and our Xuanzhen School be the same?"

Yuan Jing said: "They are all Xuanmen Kungfu, and they belong to a family. Master had friendship with Hui Lingzi, the eighth generation leader of Kongtong, for decades. Although Hui Lingzi’s three disciples, Qianjizi, did not worship Master as a teacher. , But under the guidance of master, Qingxuzi is Qianjizi's great apprentice."

Zhao Qingyi couldn't help rubbing her hands like Wangcai, and said, "Brother, I didn't realize that my seniority level has changed so much? Isn't it a big advantage."

Yuan Jing had seen her playful and naughty appearance, this appearance was fresh, and smiled: "Then do you want to thank me?"

Zhao Qingyi thought for a while and said, "Or, let's visit some basic ones in Xiazhou. After ten and a half days, we will go to the Kongtong School for a visit, dress up and pretend to be forced to pass."

"...Don't you just ask them to help with the investigation?"

"Some things need to be checked by yourself."

Yuan Jing saw that she had an idea, so she left it to her, but then asked, "What does it mean to pretend to be forceful?"

Zhao Qingyi looked at him with a serious question and a pure expression. He couldn't help but laugh. Yuan Jingmei also had a three-point smile, sighed lightly, and said, "It shouldn't be a good thing..."

...

The next morning, Zhao Qingyi and Yuan Jing went out. Originally, Yuan Jing thought she was going to investigate Zhongyonghou’s Mansion or Northwest Daying to find out, but she did not expect that she was walking through the streets, shopping in various shops, and asked about prices. , Where did the goods come from. When I went to the place where Hu Shang gathered, I also talked about these trivial matters with Hu Shang.

Yuan Jing felt very strange. When he was dealing with lunch at a noodle restaurant at noon, he couldn't help asking, "What can you ask?"

Zhao Qingyi said: "Why don't you find a lot of things after walking like this?"

"How much noodles cost a catty, how much rice cost a catty, how many years old stores, where the delivery, how much can be sold in a day, that's all?"

Zhao Qingyi said: "Xiazhou was looted seventeen years ago, and the business with good business has been open for a long time in the northwestern boundary. Doesn't it matter?"

Yuan Jing said: "Do you suspect that the people behind these shops are in power?"

Zhao Qingyi transported his internal forces and used secret techniques to transmit sound, saying: "For more than ten years of stability, Northwest Group will definitely not serve as a soldier to do business affairs. There must be stable and convenient channels for the entry and exit of materials and funds. Because the grain and grass are used for eating, not for putting, this must be mobile. No, we at least know this for a long time that there is the Xiazhou Chamber of Commerce, and the president is named Ma. The Chamber of Commerce is the economic tentacles of the Northwest Group, and it is also the Northwest Group. If the Northwest Army has the problem of eating empty salaries, for so many years, whether the court has brought in silver salaries or grains, buying and selling needs to be adjusted by merchants. The crime of blood, the source of troops, and the amount of food used in the army must be made out of false accounts. Therefore, the emperor sent the soldiers from the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Households to find out the faults of the accounts. But the things under the merchants' hands. The money in and out has always been the real account, because the merchants dare not give Northwest Group less or more money, otherwise their business...the firm will not be able to last for such a long time, and they will go bankrupt. As long as they get the Chamber of Commerce at that time A pair of the real account and the account of the Ministry of Household, we know how serious this situation will be. At that time, control these running dogs as tainted witnesses, and stand at the highest point of the law in the court. The relevant person in the northwest has already died. There is no objection. Moreover, as long as the merchants can make them live, it is easier to turn back."

Yuan Jing couldn't help being surprised at her reverse thinking. It was enough for a woman with such a high level of martial arts. She knew everything about piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry, wine and tea, and she was so transparent about the court. She turns her mind very fast in everything she does, and she is very assertive.

Zhao Qingyi is actually not very clever, that is, a strategy of avoiding the reality and attacking the fiction and surrounding the city from the countryside.

Yuan Jingdao: "Then are we going to seize the account books of this chamber of commerce now?"

Zhao Qingyi said: "Now that we have seized the account books, it is not a horror? Let's look up who are the key people and figure out the relationship diagrams. Moreover, according to the account of care, there are a lot of tricks on the ordnance. The imperial court ironware monopoly. If it is sold domestically, these government and businessmen will also have problems. If it is sold abroad... it will be collaborating with the enemy."
