"This son, Wang Chong, is young and wise, and has undergone great changes. He cannot be regarded as an ordinary young man. [This article comes from] Zhao Zi, my nephew, said in the letter that this son's talents can be used, but his people cannot be used. His character is at best upright and intolerant at worst. When he was in Huayang, he acted unscrupulously and broke the established rules. After arriving in Luzhou, he didn't even know how to start a new game. Moderation, only cares about happiness, only pursues the goal. In order to achieve success, you have no fear of changes in nature and no sympathy for people's words. If you use him, you must be careful." This was what Zhao Yu told Sun Xisou when he left Luzhou. The old man and Zhao Yu had a close friendship, and these words came from Zhao Yu's heart, directly comparing Wang Chong to another Wang Anshi. According to Zhao Yu, Wang Chong is even more feared than Wang Anshi. Wang Chong was not only a talented man in both civil and military fields, but also showed signs of academic theory during the book-showing party in the West Garden, which was even more subversive and bordering on deviance. Naturally, Wang Chong cannot be compared with Wang Anshi. He has held off a great talent for thirty years, but once he put it to use, he revealed his true colors that brought harm to the world. But for Wang Chong, his true nature has been revealed in every little thing. Zhao Yu not only wanted to suppress him in the court and prevent him from getting into the eyes of officials or any of his husbands, but also wanted Sun Xisou to be careful. As for the actual operation, the tighter the ties between him and the affairs of the Bo people are, the better. It doesn't matter whether he gets an official position or even an assignment, but he can't be allowed to have anything to do with the court structure. Based on this understanding, Sun Xisou had no intention of becoming a close friend and win over Wang Chong, and only regarded him as a sharp edge in the Bo matter. This blade is very sharp, and it actually took advantage of the situation to stabilize the surrounding areas of Xingwen Village, making the anomaly of Xingwen Village stable. This made Sun Xisou even more excited, and he took advantage of Xingwenzhai to inquire about Huihuizhou. Sun Xisou originally wanted to spread the news first and test the reaction of Hui Laizhou and Luo's Ghost Kingdom, including the reaction of the court. The ultimate goal is to set up troops in Huihuizhou, which is also fulfilling his duty as the pacifier of Lunan. Since the Song Dynasty. Among the four roads in the Sichuan Gorge, Lunan was the most troublesome, followed by Maozhou, Wenzhou and Qiangfan opposite the Yongkang Army. Yuanfeng was in chaos, Yuanyou was in chaos, and there was even greater chaos before. The imperial court set up a pacification department in Lunan to control barbarian affairs in Luzhou, so he wanted to carry out the imperial court's will to the end. During the Yuanfeng period, there was chaos among the Wuman people. Although it was a rebellion by the Bo people before, it is difficult to say that the Luo ghost kingdom did not intervene behind the scenes. Although Sun Xisou didn't know much about the situation in Luo's Ghost Country. But judging from his meticulous nature in doing things, one thing must be clear and there is no ambiguity. Luo's ghost country is innocent, no matter what the court does, there should be no ulterior motives. If there is an affair. That's what should be done, to deter this barbarian country with force. If Luo's ghost country was in chaos, wouldn't it just confirm his worries? As for whether he will be impeached and cause trouble, as long as the matter is properly resolved, it will be merit. Unlike Jia Zongliang, he can cause trouble but cannot make peace. But I didn¡¯t think about it. Before his plan could be launched, and before the court could react, Wang Chong rushed forward. To save his father, he dared to burn a plaque with a rocket To save his classmates. Dare to offer yourself to the Lord Or to save his father, he was willing to break up his family, even join the army with his father, and then take risks. I just want to exonerate my father In order to fulfill my promise, I dare to use myself as a mere teenager. Responsible for the future of thousands of Bo people After recalling what he knew about Wang Chong's deeds and comparing it with the current incident, Sun Xisou shook his head. This Wang Chong was not a cunning person by any means. Zhao Yu paid attention to the means of his actions, but ignored his intentions. Yes, Wang Chong is really good at maneuvering things, but looking at the things he takes on, it won't be accomplished at all if he doesn't use tactics, but his intentions are really sincere. So why did Wang Chong go to Gui Laizhou this time? A twinge of guilt flashed through Sun Xisou's mind. Could it be that he considered the fact that he was promoted to the Comfort Department to be in charge of hooks, writing machines, and writing as a great favor and repay it with all his heart? His intentions in this matter were not pure, and the Xingwen Village alliance was a great success, and Lunan basically settled down. Wang Chong's contribution was not small, so he had to be rewarded, but because of Zhao Yu's instructions, Wang Chong could not be used. , just do this. It not only showed Wang Chong's attitude, but also attracted the attention of the court and blocked Wang Chong's official career. "This kid is actually an honest man! That's all. I'll personally go to Xingwen Village to support him. Strike while the iron is hot and settle the matter of returning to the state." After thinking about it, Sun Xisou could only sigh like this, and Since Wang Chong had already opened the way for him to return to the state, he could not back down. When Sun Xisou arrived at Xingwen Village, it was already April 20th. This was not the first time for him to come to Xingwen Village, but he was also moved by the changes in Xingwen Village every day, and the neatness and vitality of Xingwen Village. But here I bumped into Jiang Chong, the official ambassador, and felt like I had eaten a fly. "It's really loyal and diligent in comforting" "Lian Fang is also interested" When the two met, they said a few words and then didn't know what to say. Sun Xisou was disdainful and unhappy. He was the emperor's eyes and ears, and he still had to be respectful in front of him, a serious official. But at this time, the horse's endurance is much more arrogant than before.The young man, let's talk about Jiang Chong, came to Xingwen Village at this time, either to see Wang Chong or to weigh things about returning to the state. No matter which one, Sun Xisou was disgusted. After a long silence, Sun Xisou said helplessly: "Now that the official is here, I will go to inspect the fort." This is an unspoken rule, and it is not good for civil servants to take the same thing as a horse. If it were in other places, Jiang Chong would have to avoid Sun Xisou, but except for Xingwen Village, there was no place where Jiang Chong had reason to go, so he had to bite the bullet. Sun Xisou is the pacification envoy, inspecting the defense of the city, inspecting the caves, and can go anywhere. Jiang Chong forced a smile and said: "Jiang is also dedicated to his official duties. Don't blame him for comfort." It would be strange not to blame him! Sun Xisou left Xingwen Village angrily and ran to the military camp outside the village to catch Zhong Qian to vent his anger. Zhongqian was not present when the covenant was opened, and he criticized the Luzhou rebels for their lax military discipline in the military camp, which made Zhongqian look gray and angry, but he had nowhere to vent. With a comfort envoy and an honest envoy squatting inside and outside Xingwen Village, plus a bad-tempered Zhizhai, the people of Xingwen Village will no longer have a good life. Dou Luozhi sighed all day long. She had no chance to get close to Wang Yanzhong, and Wang Yanzhong was also unhappy. Sun Xisou always recruited him to talk about literature and play chess. This man was not good at humanities, but he was arrogant. His chess skills were not good, and his chess quality was not good, which made him feel very uncomfortable. Jiang Chong also felt uncomfortable. With Sun Xisou nearby, he no longer dared to eat beef or drink heavily. He could only put on a show of loyalty and diligence and investigate the affairs of Xingwen Village one by one. As for Yu Wenbai, Xian Yumeng and Tang Wei, they simply shrank away and stopped seeing them. As the days passed, the climate in Lunan became hot and stuffy. Coupled with the bad mood, everyone seemed to have a layer of paste smeared on their bodies, making them extremely uncomfortable. On April 28, Sun Xisou and Jiang Chong were both impatient to wait. When he was worried that something happened to Wang Chong and there would be big changes in the Return State, Wang Chong finally came back. "Is Lian Fang here too?" Wang Chong met Jiang Chong and saw that Wang Chong was handsome and graceful. There was no sharp feeling of bitterness and hatred, more like a young man from an official background, which surprised Jiang Chong. Little did he know that at this time, Wang Chong had resolved his knots in his heart, made great aspirations, and had a bright mind, which was why he had such a temperament. I am interested in having a deep talk with Wang Chong. But the time was wrong, Jiang Chong said helplessly: "General Wang should go see Sun Fu first. He went to Lundotun the day before yesterday, and he should be back today." Sun Xisou is also here. Just in time "Jiang Lianfang, please come with me. There are some things that even Sun Fufu should want to know about with Lianfang. Returning to the state has great prospects. I wonder if Lianfang is willing to gamble with Fufu." Wang Chong directly pulled Jiang Chong, but Jiang Chong subconsciously wanted to refuse. But upon hearing this, a bright light flashed in his eyes, he hesitated for a moment, and then followed Wang Chong. "This is what happened. If you are determined to appease, Huihuizhou will be able to stabilize the imperial court." In the military camp, the master Zhongqian was driven out. Wang Chong detailed his trip to Huihuizhou, and Sun Xisou and Sun Xisou were heard saying Jiang Chong's heart was filled with excitement. The Luo family ghost country is willing to offer the Gui Lai Prefecture again, and it is not a nominal donation. As long as the ghost leader Pang Gan of the Gui Lai Prefecture can inherit the official position of the Gui Lai Prefecture in name only, the Gui Lai Prefecture will be under the rule of the imperial court. I've even thought of a new name, maybe Guizhou. "The Luo family ghost country is not afraid that the imperial court has other intentions?" Jiang Chong, as a warrior, thought more deeply about this than Sun Xisou. Sun Xisou's face changed slightly as he thought deeply about these words. He had underestimated the impact of this matter. Wang Chong said: "These generations of Luo kings in the Luo Kingdom have been in peace and contentment for many years. They only want to maintain the status quo. As long as the court shows favor and appeasement, they can return to the state in exchange for rewards from the court and business benefits. They are happy to see this happen. The original return state is not theirs." "It's an inherent place." He then added: "However, both the imperial court and the Luo State cannot believe that this matter can be done easily. It depends on whether the appeasement and the honest visit can persuade the imperial court to show enough sincerity." Suddenly, people realized why Wang Chong had to bring the two of them together to talk about this matter. What Wang Chong meant was that the whole thing was actually a matter of trust. There are actually no variables in the Luo Kingdom. As long as the court gives him fame and fortune, he can enjoy the success of opening up borders. But whether the imperial court can believe this, as long as it is given a name, it can take over Gui Laizhou, this is a big question. Sun Xisou's words were not entirely effective. It took Jiang Chong's efforts in the officialdom and the combined efforts of both parties to convince Bianliang that there would be no problem in returning to Huizhou. But in this case, as Wang Chong said, it is a gamble for the two of them. Sun Xisou's original intention was to set up an army. With the military in place, he established a strategy of using troops as defense. If something goes wrong in the future, local officials such as Zhijun can be held accountable, but now they are setting up prefectures, just like Chunzhou, Xiangzhou and Rongzhou under the Lunan Appeasement Department. They can do it in one step. If something goes wrong in the return prefecture and Luo State in the future, It must be blamed on him, a person who advocates favor and win over. As for Jiang Chong, it was even more of a gamble. Once he gets involved in this matter,?It also depends on the prospects of returning to the state. But the good thing is that if he succeeds, he will show his ability to manage affairs, and it is very likely that he will escape the path of the emperor's eyes and ears. "I'm afraid that Pang Gan wants to gain fame and fortune in this matter. It can be seen that the Luo Kingdom is not monolithic." Sun Xisou grasped the key to this matter, Wang Chong thought to himself, this person is not confused about the details of the matter. He stayed in Guihuizhou for more than ten days, just waiting for news from Pang Gan. Pangan was persuaded by him and sent people to Prince Luo's Mansion in Bijie to obtain King Luo's permission. Wang Chong didn't know the specific details, but his guess was that it was related to Li. Pangan must have promised to hand over a lot of property, which made King Luo moved. In fact, the most critical point in the whole thing is that Wang Chong hinted that Pang Gan could mint copper coins privately. This point involves too much, and Wang Chong will naturally not tell Sun Xisou and Jiang Chong everything. The Luo State has copper. Even if it is insufficient, there are also the Luo Dian State and even the Dali State. As long as they can find coin craftsmen from the mainland, they can make any copper coins without any problem. Luo State exchanged copper coins for commercial goods from the mainland through Gui Laizhou and Xingwen Village, and the profit was greater than selling copper directly. After these copper coins flowed into the Song Dynasty, they could either go down the river and be used directly as money in Jinghu and Jianghuai, or they could be integrated into copperware for marketing. As far as the merchants in Song Dynasty are concerned, it is also a great benefit. Since both sides are beneficial, why hasn¡¯t this been done before? There are two obstacles here. First, the roads in Luo country are dangerous and difficult for trade. It¡¯s not that there is really no way to traffic commercial goods, but the circulation is too weak and there is no broad road. The second issue is the legal issue. The copper coins of the Song Dynasty cast by Luo State flowed into the iron coin area, which was against the policy of the imperial court. But with Wang Chong using Xingwen Village to confront Gui Laizhou, these two obstacles are expected to be resolved. ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? off out of the road? Even on a cliff, a trestle can be built. For example, in Yazhou, Rongzhou, the imperial court exchanged tea for Qiang and Fan horses. Didn't this create an ancient tea-horse road? As for legal issues, this is a private matter. Wang Chong suggested Pang Gan. Separate the matter from the official side and focus on Xingwen Trading Company versus Pangan's trading bank in Guilai Prefecture. The two companies control the flow of privately minted copper coins. As long as it does not spread too fast, they can cover it up for a few years. After a few years, depending on the situation, choose the path to whitewash. The Song Dynasty was short of copper, and the outflow of copper coins was taboo. Inflow is very welcome. At that time, it is just that the imperial court will find a way to control this road, but when it comes to the Luo Kingdom, it should not dare to make a big move. Sun Jiang and Sun Jiang were silent for a long time, and Jiang Chong suddenly said: "I remember. The imperial court had already granted Luo State the title of governor of Juzhou and Yaozhou, and it would be nothing to make him governor of Guizhou." Sun Xisou's eyes also shone brightly: "A state governor should be given to the concubine of King Luo. How meaningful is it? If King Luo is willing to be titled by the court" He was indeed a bold and generous master, and even Jiang Chong secretly took a breath. Wang Chong shook his head secretly. This is not just a matter of returning to the state, it will affect the relationship with Dali and shake the entire southwest. The King of Luo had always indirectly borrowed the name of the Song Dynasty as his son and a small piece of land, and did not want to be directly granted the title by the Song Dynasty. After all, the country of Dali was nearby. Sun Xisou also realized that this was unlikely, and said with a smile: "It's just a saying" He took a deep breath, nodded and said: "It's really hard for the court to be tempted by this matter without honest help, but I, I still want to meet this Pang Gan and hear it from him personally. Shouzheng, are you willing to help me?" Sun Xisou has already agreed, but out of caution, he has to come forward in person. Wang Chong had already reached a tacit understanding with Pang Gan, and he nodded and said: "If you are willing to do this, Pang Gan will come to Xingwen Village to see you." The two of them were startled, but Wang Chong actually persuaded Pang Gan to come to Xingwen Village! ? I really don¡¯t know if Wang Chong is too eloquent or if he is too obsessed with fame and fortune! ? I¡¯m afraid it¡¯s the latter, otherwise how could the return trip to the state be so smooth? Sun Xisou thought so. Jiang Chong's eyes changed when he looked at Wang Chong. There was no huge benefit, but this could not be done. What did Wang Chong bring out? Although the two of them still had their own thoughts, on this day, in the small hall of Xingwen Army Village, Sun Xisou, Jiang Chong and Wang Chong reached an agreement on returning to the state to offer their land. When leaving Xingwen Village, Sun Xisou stroked Wang Chong's shoulder. After holding it in for a long time, he managed to squeeze out a sentence: "Shou Zheng, I feel ashamed of you!" Wang Chong smiled and said: "Where can I comfort you? Comfort Pi Wang Chong rushed into the Appeasement Department. This kindness must never be forgotten! Even if Appease did not do this, Wang Chong should devote himself to the affairs of the state and put appeasement first in order to bring peace to thousands of people in Wenzhai and to secure Lunan for the imperial court. !¡± Sun Xisou sighed again, his words seemed to be flattering, but he heard Wang Chong say again: ¡°Wang Chong respects Appeasement, just as he respects Zhao Longtu. Both Appeasement and Longtu are brave people, and Wang Chong respects Appeasement and He. I learned a lot from Long Tu!¡± Although he was dissatisfied with some of the actions of these two people, his words were still sincere. If Xu Guangning is given sixIn terms of points, Zhao and Sun had 70 points, while Deng Xunwu and others had less than 30 points. Sun Xisou sighed in his heart and said with a bitter smile: "Most of the things that can be done are hopeless." Wang Chong cupped his hands again and said: "Wang Chong is young and has not yet completed his studies. How can he be eager for an official career? Wang Chong is appeasing and appreciating his heart. "This is also true. You are only seventeen years old. Why are you so anxious to become an official? What is more important is to lay the foundation. Knowledge, reputation, financial resources, and experience are the foundation. Sun Xisou patted Wang Chong on the shoulder harder: "Okay! Do it well! I will definitely live up to you!" Zhao Longtu, you have misjudged the person after all. Sun Xisou left with emotion in his heart. Jiang Chong found Wang Chong, his eyes flickering. "Shou Zheng, I don't understand. What kind of benefits did Pang Gan gain to be so proactive?" He asked in a very cryptic way, but his meaning was very direct. Wang Chong smiled slightly: "Lian Fang, who are you asking on behalf of? Official? Mr. Deng, or yourself? " Jiang Chong was silent for a moment and said in a low voice: "There is only Jiang Chong, a military man, and there are no in-laws from the Deng family. " He read Yu Wenbai's description of Jiang Chong again. , Wang Chong took out a Grand View copper coin and silently placed it on the desk. This person can be roped in. I had to find someone to squat with me in this pit, and I also considered Sun Xisou. But Sun Xisou was a civil servant, and his status had reached a certain level. He was very worried about this kind of thing, and Jiang Chong, a frustrated warrior, was just right. Jiang Chong stared at the copper coin, puzzled and speechless. This was profit. He was asking what specific profit it was. "Some things are thought too deeply and too deeply, but the surface is ignored" Wang Chong's long words, like a soul-enchanting voice, penetrated deeply into Jiang Chong's heart.
