Vol 2 Chapter 1055: Bought (three shifts)

"The mother calm down!"
Rich money is a little nervous.
The queen empress seldom angers, and she doesn't easily die, but he just gets nervous. Very weird!
Gu Jiu took a few deep breaths and finally calmed down his anger.
She asked, "What's the situation in Xiliang now? Tell me in detail."
Qian Fu bowed and said: "The King Anxi slaughtered the royal family of Xiliang, which aroused the hatred of the Xiliang people, and the beacon was everywhere. The Northwest Army was limited in number and could only control the King City of Xiliang. Outside the King City, the whip was beyond reach. It even connected to the Western Regions. All the business ways are cut off.
After some time, it is estimated that King Anxi also felt the pressure, and adopted the advice of the hopeless master and counsellors to buy the nobles of Xiliang and let them come forward to govern the people of Xiliang. In addition, King Anxi introduced a series of measures to benefit the people of Xiliang and killed a group of rebels, and the situation gradually eased. "
Gu Jiu breathed a sigh of relief, "The situation can be stabilized. This first step is barely qualified. Can King Anxi accept the opinions of the palace and open a school to encourage intermarriage?"
Qian Fu nodded, "Before the old slave left Xiliang, the Royal City of Xiliang had opened two free elementary schools, mainly teaching Dazhou writing and culture. Lieutenant generals took the lead and successively married the Xiliang nobles. The ordinary soldiers below were intermarried. Less, the situation is not very optimistic."
Gu Jiu nodded, "Everything is difficult at the beginning. King Anxi is willing to accept the opinions of this palace, at least it means that he is not demented, and knows that it is not the time to enjoy the fruits of the war. What is the situation of Hopeless and Taoist Xuanqing?"
Qian Fu bowed slightly: "Because the royal city of Xiliang was destroyed and the royal family of Xiliang was slaughtered, Master Wuwang's local reputation was not as good as before. Later, Xuanqing Dao grew up in Xiliang, and the two met in private for three days and three nights. It’s not clear exactly what old slaves were talking about. After the conversation, Master Wuwang began to give lectures in the King City of Xiliang. Every five days, the people gathered. After half a year, Master Wuwang’s reputation was increasing day by day, and he was about to catch up with him. The prestige of Xiliang National Teacher."
Gu Jiu finally laughed, "Wuwang did not live up to the expectations of this palace. What did Xuan Qing do?"
"The Taoist Master Xuanqing led his people to build two Taoist temples in the Royal City of Xiliang, and his disciples would also give lectures every day. The Taoist Master Xuanqing himself sorted out the Xiliang writing books. Before the old slave returned to Beijing, he found the old slave, Let the old slave bring a word to the empress."
"Say!"
"Dao Xuan Qing said that he wants to trace the roots to find the ancestors of the Xiliang people. No matter what the process is, the result is already doomed. The Xiliang people and Dazhou are the same ancestor, but because of the relationship between the war, climate and geography. Now, It is time for Xiliang to return to the big Zhou family."
"Hahaha..."
Gu Jiu laughed out loud with joy.
"My palace did not misread Taoist Xuanqing. With him, the overall situation of Xiliang can be determined. Those Xiaoxiao who rebelled are just the grasshoppers after Autumn."
"Niangniang is far-sighted, and everyone admires her."
"Stop flattering. Did King Anxi ask you to speak?" Gu Jiu was a little curious.
She and King Anxi have never met, but the two confronted several times, lasting for ten or twenty years.
Perhaps the biggest regret in her life is that she didn't have the opportunity to meet King Anxi.
Qian Fu said: "Qi, Madam, King Anxi is old!"
"Can a seventy-year-old man not grow old? How is his health, how many years can he support?"
"The king of Anxi should be strong, but he has tried to delegate power, and many things are left to Pei Meng. In addition, the king of Anxi has appointed Pei Meng as the prince son, please set up the memorial of the prince son, and the old slave has been handed over to his majesty."
Gu Jiu smiled, "It seems that he has no plans to turn his face with the court for the time being."
It doesn't really matter whether King Anxi wrote the memorial to invite Li Shizi. Because Xiliang responds to things, he can decide in one word.
The memorial is just a form.
In a mere district, King Anxi was willing to take pains to do it, and he also made the rich and wealthy to bring back the capital.
Obviously, King Anxi was expressing his determination in this way.
Even if the earth was cracked and the king was crowned, he was nominally a courtier of the Great Zhou, and he would manage Xiliang carefully and would not turn his face with the court.
The caravans in Dazhou can go to Xiliang for business freely, as long as they pay a batch of expensive tariffs.
The business road to the Western Regions has been opened up, and the caravan can travel to the Western Regions countries with confidence.
Similarly, an expensive customs duty needs to be paid.
Qian Fu told Gu Jiu, "The King Anxi relied on collecting tariffs from the Dazhou caravans to feed the army. He is now anxious for more and larger caravans to go to Xiliang. Xiliang market is not enough, so he opened the Western Regions Commercial Road.
King Anxi personally told the old slave that he is not as good as the Niang Niang in business, but he is a good student. He has learned a truth from Niang Niang, that is, he cannot eat alone in business. The tariffs charged by opening up the Western Regions business roads are far higher than the profits of their own caravans to the Western Regions. "
Gu Jiu laughed, "He is rather modest, and he is analogous to students. The palace dare not accept students like him. According to you, Xiliang is now very prosperous in commerce and trade?"
Qianfu nodded, "It's barely possible. Our caravan in Da Zhou brought a lot of materials that local people need and can afford. For example, low-grade tea, such as burlap, as well as medicinal paper, etc... King Anxi Obviously, he wanted to take root in Xiliang. He accepted the advice of his advisers and eased the taxation and corvee of the people of Xiliang. Once this measure came out, the situation was greatly improved."
Gu Jiu picked up a pen, summarized what Qian Fu said, and wrote them all down.
"People's livelihood and economy have opened up. The rest is education, faith, military, and intermarriage. I don't know how many years King Anxi will live."
Qian Fu whispered: "Last year King Anxi also accepted a 20-year-old concubine. When the old slave left Xiliang, he heard that the concubine was pregnant."
puff!
These words prove from the side that Anxi Wang is strong and physically strong.
If there are no accidents, it is not a problem to live for another ten or eight years.
Gu Jiu coughed slightly, "King Anxi is in good health, and my palace is relieved! With Xiliang’s current situation, King Anxi must support another three to five years before he can completely let go and give Xiliang to Pei Meng. I don’t know. Can Mongolia take on the big responsibility."
Rich money hesitated to talk.
Gu Jiu tapped the desktop lightly, "If you have anything to say, don't have any worries."
"That's it. During his stay in Xiliang, the old slave had many contacts with Pei Meng. The old slave found that he had really underestimated this person before. Not only was he a good player in leading soldiers to fight, but he was also unique in managing civil affairs."
Gu Jiu snorted coldly, "My palace has long seen that Pei Meng is dishonest and blinds others with rude appearances and deeds, which makes people mistakenly think that he is a big boss who can only fight, so he is less defensive. In fact, he He is a treacherous and cunning old fox. At the beginning, my palace almost looked away. You can find his true face, which is very good."
"Before he went to Xiliang, the old slave had been following Pei Meng for many years, and he was deceived by him. It really shouldn't be. Please punish me!"
"It's not your fault. You are not the only person who has been deceived by Pei Meng, and your Majesty was deceived by Pei Meng."
Liu Zhao and Pei Meng are cousins, and they have been in contact for a long time. For so many years, Liu Zhao has not been able to see through Pei Meng's true face. He can only say that Pei Meng's appearance is too deceptive, and Liu Zhao's vision is indeed not good.
Qian Fu lowered his head and dared not answer.
Empress Empress complained about your Majesty the emperor, he only hated that he had a strong sense of existence, and didn't have a hole for him to drill.
Gu Jiu twisted his fingers and tapped the tabletop lightly.
"When Pei Meng takes control of Xi Liang's situation, Xi Liang will definitely change his appearance. Is there an arrangement for spies to lurch beside Pei Meng?"
Qian Fu shook his head, "It's difficult! Pei Meng is very defensive. The people around him are old people who have spent more than ten or twenty years. Most of the newly opened people are related to the old people around him. Individuals are knowledgeable. It is difficult for our people to gain his trust. On the contrary, it is King Anxi, the spies have successfully penetrated inside, and can inquire about some confidential content. In time, maybe he will be able to talk to King Anxi and influence Anxi. The king’s decision."
Gu Jiu thought for a while, and said, "The spies are not easy to use, so use them instead. The palace will allocate this money to you separately."
"Who does the empress want to buy?"
Gu Jiu laughed, "Of course it is the old friend Mr. Dou."
Qian Fu frowned, "Mr. Dou is the adviser next to King Anxi, and he is trusted and valued by Pei Meng. Fortune status women, Mr. Dou has all, so it's not easy to buy!"
"You don't understand the minds of scholars!" Gu Jiu said with a smile: "The pursuit of scholars is different from that of Pei's family. After a person possesses everything material, he will have higher levels of needs, that is, Mental needs. In layman's terms, what Mr. Dou wants now is fame, fame in the Great Zhou. This fame can only be given to him by the palace and your majesty, and the Pei family and father and son cannot give him."
Qian Fu suddenly realized, "See you, my mother!"
Gu Jiu commanded: "Find a way to send a letter to Mr. Dou, what he wants, this palace will give him. Wenqing Bookstore has built momentum for him in the whole world, let him become a university scholar and a great counselor comparable to Sanyuan Gong and Zhou Shian. , The name has lasted forever. He knew what to do."
Qian Fu deliberated, "Why don't the old slave take another trip to the Western Regions. It is better to talk face-to-face with this matter."
Gu Jiu waved his hand in denial, "You don't need to talk face to face. Do you have a trustworthy and outstanding spy in Xiliang?"
Qianfu nodded, "Yes!"
"Just let this spy come forward to contact Mr. Dou for you."
"Old slave obeys!"
