Liu Ruyan glanced at Li Ze and said, "When you hear the enemy is in chaos, be careful, why do you think you are worried? You don't look happy at all?"

Li Ze shook his head, "Our enemy is a pseudo-liang, not the people of Guanzhong, how can we be happy?"

Liu Ruyan rolled her eyes: "But don't forget that the entire pseudo-liang, which is supported by these people, is a mess, and it is naturally a good opportunity for us. Unfortunately, we are also a clay Buddha crossing the river now, otherwise the army will overwhelm, and maybe we can recover Chang'an and Luoyang in one fell swoop."

"Qiao'er, have you ever seen people starve to death?"

Liu Ruyan shook her head.

"Have you ever seen Yizi Yushi?"

Liu Ruyan's face changed slightly, and she still shook her head.

"I haven't seen it before!"

Liu Ruyan burst out laughing: "I can see you before, tell me so seriously."

"But I heard them talk about it." Li Ze said: "The children in the secret camp basically come like this. They told me and Tuhu also told me some of it. The miserable feelings are so hard that I can't bear to hear it."

"What can we do now? It's not impossible. It's even awesome to prevent the people under our own rule from suffering this." Liu Ruyan said: "We can only completely overwhelm our strength earlier and then defeat our opponents to rescue these people. Now, it's useless to think about more."

"That's right!" Li Ze nodded.

Seeing Li Ze getting better, Liu Ruyan bent down and pulled open several drawers from under the soft couch, took out some things from it, and placed them in front of Li Ze: "Eat something, these are sent by Shen Congxing, who sent someone to someone."

"What are they?"

"They are all special snacks from Cangzhou, candied dates, water chestnuts from Baiyangdian, etc., try it!" Liu Ruyan peeled one water chestnut and fed it into Li Ze's mouth.

"These things are also sold in Wuyi!" Li Ze said with a smile: "In fact, it's not just these. The donkey meat in Hejian is hot and the pancakes in Jiaohe are all very famous in Wuyi."

"But this is what others want after all!" Liu Ruyan said: "He is always your servant when you were in the most miserable state, and he has always been loyal to you. He has been stationed in Dizhou for many years, and the right guard he led has never moved. Not only is he anxious, but his generals are also anxious. Who doesn't want to make meritorious service and be rewarded and be given a wife and son?"

Li Ze thought for a moment and said, "Shen Congxing has limited personal talents, but this person is quite ambitious and wants to make a name for himself. This has been shown since he was my guard. He is not like Chen Bing, Chu Sheng and others, and knows his weight, so he never dares to have great extravagant expectations. Shen Congxing is stronger than them, but I am really worried if he really wants to lead the army independently and stand alone."

"Isn't Shen Congxing more reliable than Tian Ping, Xue Chong, Zhang Jia and others?"

"Reliability is of course more reliable, but when we use people, we can't just look at reliability, right? He also needs to have corresponding abilities!" Li Ze said lightly: "Just talking about Tian Ping, do you think his character is good? It's not necessarily true. But now he is in the Wei Bo area, forcing Tianping to retreat completely. Zhang Jia controls the Hetao area in the south and north of the desert, threatens Tubo, and supports the Western Regions. That's not a good thing? Xue Chong replaces Liu Chenglin to Pingzhou, and Deng Jingshan is at a loss for him. Shen Congxing is really going to these places. Do you think I can rest assured?"

"Then do you let him lead the troops of a guard?"

"First of all, I don't want those who followed me to be so cold. Now the role of the old people in Chengde's group is getting less and less obvious. Chen Congxing, no matter what, came from the old people in Chengde's group. Secondly, when my power was still small, he did make a desperate effort and never fear death in wars." Li Ze said: "Isn't he satisfied with the great general of the guard? Even if he is transferred to other places in the future, his level will be increased. His glory and wealth are always indispensable. Now let him practice troops. If he is really smart, he will practice troops for me honestly."

Speaking of this, Liu Ruyan had nothing to say. "By the way, what is the reason why you let Chen Congxin's right-leading guard often practice with the navy? I have heard that these soldiers suffered a lot."

"If you don't suffer, how can you travel around the world in the future?" Li Ze snorted coldly. "I still expect the right-leading guard to become a dragon on the sea in the future! If Chen Congxing couldn't even see through this, he, the general of the right-leading guard, was about to finish his journey. He will be transferred to Wuyi tomorrow to serve as a free position!"

Liu Ruyan stuck out her tongue and stopped talking about this. She peeled the water chestnuts for a while for Li Ze and said, "How do you place those people in Lingnan? According to the previous statement, they will be responsible for the security guards of the eldest girl in the future. As well as the officials under her command, they must give them a seat, right?"

"Take all these things to Tian Lingzi and worry about!" Li Ze smiled: "They want to form a system in Zhenzhou or Wuyi in the future, and let them do it, what tricks can they do!"

"Don't be too careless, after all, where is the title! There are always some people who are unsatisfied with you who may not be able to vote for them. Not to mention that people like Han Qi now have a great influence."

"Of course I know, don't worry about these things." Li Ze said: "There has been arrangements in Zhenzhou."

"You said that those five hundred guards can be bought?" Liu Ruyan asked suddenly.

"Don't even think about it!" Li Ze said decisively: "Since these people can be chosen by the Xiang family and followed them, they must be loyal. Besides, the families of these people are all in Lingnan, who dares to have a second thought? If you do such a thing, it will be just a shame."

Liu Ruyan suddenly snorted: "I think I'm really annoyed, it's really unpleasant. It's hard to live a life with a Bodhisattva on my head. Although the little emperor was studying in Wuwei Academy, he was still restless. At the moment, a big girl looked at her. She was not a fuel-efficient lamp. I don't know what trouble they would make in the future!"

"Since it's a mess, what's there to worry about!" Li Ze spread his hands and said, "Is it necessary to consider these now? It will be at least three years later to consider these things."

Three years later, it was time for the little emperor to get married.

The little emperor after the wedding must have to take charge of the rule.

Only then will the struggle between imperial power and ministerial power truly come.

Shortly after Li Ze, Liu Ruyan and others returned to Wuyi, an auction of the operation rights of the transportation route was in full swing.

Two weeks ago, the Tang Dynasty Weekly published the specific bidding and bidding methods for this auction, which caused huge waves among the people for a while. This was a brand new operation for the people. Before that, they had never seen the same thing.

They were very clear about the four transportation routes that the imperial court wanted to open, because before that, 90% of the people in Wuyi used their feet to measure the size of the city.

Of course, for most people, they just have a mentality of watching the fun. After all, a starting price of 50,000 yuan will make 90% of people only a spectator. Without absolute strength, it is difficult to participate in this competition. A pre-bidden bid will reduce the competitors to a mere twelve families.

The so-called pre-bidding means that the person who intends to participate in the auction writes his or her psychological price and then hands it over. Then, a special staff sent by the Ministry of Revenue will select the person with the highest bid according to the bid amount to participate in the final auction. Finally, the twelve merchants who will participate in the auction are determined.

Inside the Tongda Mule Horse Train, Qi Heng clenched his fists, looked at a group of brothers in the hall, and shouted: "This time, we must take the West Ring Road in the outer city. This is a great opportunity for us to go further. Brother Tang sold himself, so that we found this life for us, so that we could have a place in Wuyi and establish a family and establish a career here. Now Brother Tang is killed in the Western Regions. We want to earn a big family business for him, and when he comes back, he will enjoy happiness peacefully. What do you think of everyone?"

"Listen to Brother Qi," a group of men shouted.

"Okay, everyone is a good guy with true temperament. I won't say much. This time I need a lot of money. I have entrusted a lot of relationships and hit a lot of people. I have only found out that among the twelve competitors, we are the lowest among the pre-bidding, so it can be foreseeable that we will definitely increase the price significantly by then."

"Brother Qi, we raised 100,000 points together. Isn't that enough?"

"Far from enough!" Qi Heng took a breath and said, "I have pawned my house."

Everyone in the room was surprised: "Brother Qi, the yard you just bought this year is ready to get married!"

"What's the big deal about getting married or not?" Qi Heng shook his head: "It's just that you can win this bid."

"Then we will go home and pawn all the things that can be pawned, but how much does Brother Qi need to be sure?"

"We are weak, I know that, so we are bidding for the worst outer city West Ring Road, but at least, we have to go up by 200,000."

"Two hundred thousand?" Everyone in the house was stunned: "Brother Qi, isn't it enough to sell us all?"

"So, I went to find another person." Qi Heng looked at the people and said.

At the same time, in a quiet room in the bamboo garden, an old man with long beards also looked at the crowd in the house with a serious expression and said, "Everyone, since the Xue family went to Tubo and the Sima family went to the Western Regions, our Hedong families have completely lost their power and were excluded in Wuyi. This time it is our opportunity to march into Wuyi openly. Everyone has seen that if we do not gain a foothold in Wuyi and speak, we will have no hope in the future. So this time we will take the best route to the inner city, don't care about money, and don't be afraid of losing money. Even if we take a lot of money and buy Li Xiang to the heart, do you understand?"

"I understand!"
