Chapter 218 First appearance

The news of Lu Junyi's appearance in Shu was sent to Song Qing as quickly as possible. With this information, Song Qing couldn't help thinking deeply.

Isn't it Ming religion? I remember that Fang La's rebellion in history was caused by the Ming believers. How come in this era, no one mentioned Fang La and Ming religion to themselves. On the contrary, it was the appearance of Lu Junyi that led to this mysterious Ming religion?

Is it true that everything has been subverted?

Song Qing is really puzzled. If you want to say that this is also your fault, why didn't you think of the incident between Fang La and Ming religion at the beginning?

However, since it is known, it can no longer be calm. Even without Lu Junyi, an organization that pretends to be mysterious like Mingjiao, attracts stupid women as believers and specializes in opposition to the government, can never be allowed to develop. What's more, there is a Lu Junyi who has a grudge against himself.

Although I think so, Shuzhong is not under its own control after all, and it is a little too long to intervene now, so we have to slow down.

Song Qing estimated that Lu Junyi also deliberately avoided the heroes of Liangshan, so he ran to Shu, where the high emperor was far away, to develop his power. But he must have broken his head and never thought that Liang Shan's power would develop so fast?

After careful consideration for a while, he ordered someone to call Cao Zheng, and at the same time sent someone to send a message to Shi Qian and come back as soon as possible. Lu Junyi's martial arts can be called Liang Shan's first. Now he can be said to be hostile to Liang Shan. He doesn't want to encounter danger from time to time.

There is not much time, and Cao Zheng was ordered to arrive.

Song Qing did not say anything else and said directly: "Send people to worship the fire religion. Remember not to scare the snakes. Let's talk about everything after we enter Sichuan."

"I'm going to arrange it now. Do you want to treat Lu Junyi..."

Cao Zheng deliberately stopped talking about this. He believed that Song Qing could understand what he didn't say.

Song Qing didn't say anything, but he couldn't think that such a big thing could be ignored by the so-called pervasive internal guard, which can no longer be described as dereliction of duty. The leader of the internal guard in Shu must be replaced.

In fact, this problem has always made Song Qing very entangled. Lu Junyi is undoubtedly one of the culprits who killed Song Jiang, but Song Qing actually has no deep feelings with Song Jiang.

There are another one hundred and eight generals of Liangshan who have been purged a lot because of their conspiracy to resist him, and the rest are now more concentrated. He really doesn't want these remaining Liangshan heroes to have any defects.

I think so, but how can he give Lu Junyi's order? I'm afraid other brothers won't agree.

He pondered for a moment and said, "Let's act according to the opportunity!" Remember not to expose it too early, otherwise it will be difficult to find him again."

Cao Zheng took the order. In his heart, Lu Junyi is already the enemy, so he should resolutely destroy the enemy, whether you used to be from Liangshan or not? Some words are difficult for the boss to say, but his direct line must take the initiative to do it.

Song Qing stood up and came to the topography and troop distribution map presented by Lv Shibao. This picture has copied the copy and sent someone to Zhu Wu to verify, so he is not worried that Lv Shibao dares to fake it.

Shuzhong is close to Dali. According to the information of the times, Lu Junyi should be active in the border between Dali and Shuzhong. According to Shi Qian, he absorbed a large number of believers as a fire worshiper. It seems that this guy is unwilling to be lonely.

Lou, you should toss around slowly first, and you'd better expose your strength, otherwise after we enter Sichuan, what ability do you have to compete with me?

Unexpectedly, Song Qing put down the affairs of Shuzhong and Lu Junyi and began to concentrate on the government affairs under his administration.

The reaction of all parties to Song Qing's almost rebellious move to exercise Xingping year in the area under Liangshan was very calm. I guess Zhao Huan didn't want to object, but unfortunately, he was really scared out of his courage. He just hoped that Song Qing would not hit him and let him keep his acre of land safely.

As Song Qing expected, the first year of Xingping passed in prosperity. When the autumn harvest came, all crops were harvested, especially corn and sweet potatoes, which was even more surprising.

Song Qing believes that as long as there are two years of hoarding, there will be no hungry people in the Central Plains.

At the same time, with the control of the Yangtze River waters by the Liangshan Army, many inland goods can be transported directly from the Yangtze River, saving transportation costs and driving the economy of inland areas. The whole Jiangbei region is a thriving scene.

At the end of the year inventory, there is continuous good news everywhere.

While the comprehensive strength continued to improve, Song Qing did not carry out any military operations. According to him, it's not time yet.

The extremely powerful Liangshan army did not move at all, and these chaotic regimes around did not dare to move. Who is not afraid of Liang Shan's artillery!

In a blink of an eye, the second year of Xingping began in a busy spring ploughing.

This year's scientific examination continues last year's model, but the number of candidates has more than doubled, and there are many children of rich families. Obviously, the Liangshan regime has been favored by more and more people, and the shadow of Zhao Song is gradually fading from people's memory.

Song Qing, as always, paid a lot of attention to these future pillars of Liangshan. However, because he was too busy, he left everything else to do except in the name of the chief examination.

Hubu Langxia Houcheng recently gave Song Qing a problem, that is, he should not take any military action this year and devote his main energy to road construction and water conservancy.

Although people in this era already have a sense of flood control, many funds were not available in time due to the corruption of the Song Dynasty, so there is no way to talk about building a dam.

Song Qing fully supported this matter and soon formed a written decree, requiring all localities to report the river sections that need to be built and the silver needed according to their own actual situation.

Song Qing was not short of money, but he was well aware of the tricks. While ordering the construction of the dam, he also ordered Pei Xuan to organize officials to go down and supervise to avoid corruption by local officials.

When it comes to road construction, Song Qing is a little hesitant. It's not that he doesn't know the benefits, but the project is too huge.

According to Xiahoucheng's suggestion, it is to build four wide carriages. The starting point of the four carriages is Luoyang, one to Youzhou, one to Datong, the other to Linzhou, and the other to Xingyuanfu.

How many people need material resources for such a huge project? Even if Song Qing is not short of money, the burden is still too heavy for the Liangshan regime, which is just in its infancy.

However, looking at these four routes alone, Song Qing was a little moved. Because these four routes are all places that need troops in the future.

The smooth road can deliver troops and materials in time, and can also drive the regional economy, which can be said to be a good thing in modern times.

But once this project is started, other things will really be put down. According to Song Qing's original idea, he plans to enter Sichuan this year.

With hesitation, Song Qing had to convene the Military Machinery Department and officials from various ministries to discuss this matter.

According to the regulations of Song Qing, the DPRK meeting for handling government affairs is held every day. While listening to the affairs of all parties, it is also necessary to make some decisions.

However, everyone was gathered today, but it was already afternoon.

Song Qing asked Xiahoucheng to explain his idea to the crowd again, and then let everyone say his opinion.

Wu Yong meditated for a moment and said, "Lord Xiahou's ideas are very good, but I don't think it's time yet. After all, our foundation is still a little thin. If we wait another one to two years, there will be no problem."

Hu Yanzhuo also said, "I suggest that you send troops to Shu first. Shu has a reputation as the country of heaven and rich in products. Maybe it can help us at that time."

As a servant of the Ministry of War, Hu Yanzhuo certainly thinks so from the perspective of soldiers.

Zhu Wu said, "No, the people in Shu first squeezed the Zhao and Song court, and now they live under the cool politics of Fang La. If we also learn from them to rip off the people after occupying Shu, won't it be the same as them? I have been to Xixia and am well aware of the difficulty of the road, so I agree with Lord Xiahou's idea, but as Wu Junshi said, it is better to wait another year."

Chai Jin, who has rarely spoken, suddenly said, "I am in charge of the Ministry of Household and I know that this move will be costly, but I also support this idea, but unlike the ideas of Wu Junshi and Zhu Junshi, I think it is not necessary to implement this plan now."

Chai Jin is a typical example of not being easy to take action, and it will hurt people. As soon as he said this, it immediately attracted everyone's attention.

Chai Jin was not proud at all and said with a smile, "The wisdom of Chitose and all the adults is far better than me, but because the huge talent needed for this move has affected my thinking. My idea is to construct the sections, and the state capitals are responsible for the sections of the state capitals, which can not only reduce a lot of central expenditures, but also buy us more time."

As soon as Chai Jin's words fell, everyone couldn't help laughing, couldn't they? Subcontracting the project to the state governments, Luoyang is only responsible for planning and supervision, which can not only reduce the expenditure of many financial and material resources, but also not overly drag down Luoyang's overall planning.

It's really a word to wake up the dreamer. Aren't these people a human spirit? However, they all got into the tip of the horns.

At present, Song Qing ordered the Ministry of Household to take the lead in planning a road map for the construction of the road, and then send someone to survey it, and finally implement it. As for the silver and materials needed in the end, it is up to Chai Jin to calculate by themselves.

Everyone left one after another, and no one noticed that Zhu Wu's eyes were a little special when he looked at Xiahou Cheng's back.

Out of the royal palace, everyone returned to their own government office, and only Zhu Wu went to Cao Zheng.

In terms of official positions, Cao Zheng can't compare with Zhu Wu at all, but Zhu Wu knows that Song Qing's trust in Cao Zheng is no less than any of them.

Cao Zheng has been busy monitoring Lu Junyi recently. When he heard that Zhu Wu was coming, he felt a little surprised. Zhu Wuguan is a spy, and he is in charge of the inner guard. Although the nature is a little similar, the two have always had little contact.

I welcomed Zhu Wu in person. After sitting down with tea, I couldn't help saying, "Why do you have time to come here, brother?"

The names between these Liang Shan brothers have always been a little messy. Sometimes the brothers are commensurate, but sometimes they call each other official positions.

Zhu Wu did not hide it and directly said what he thought.

"Have your people ever noticed Xia Houcheng?"

Xiahoucheng is now a celebrity in front of the prince. He is shrewd and capable, and has a good job in handling government affairs. Cao Zheng knew all these, so when Zhu Wu asked him, he couldn't help but be stunned.

However, Cao Zheng's occupational disease over the years made him more suspicious than anyone else, and he also knew that Zhu Wu could not be aimless.

He said in a low voice, "What did you find?"

"He made a proposal to the prince today to build the road. There is nothing wrong with this proposal itself. The problem is that once this project starts, it will definitely contain a lot of manpower and material resources in Liangshan. Moreover, after Chai's official proposed a method of segmented construction, I could feel that there was something obviously wrong with him, so I came to you."

Hearing Zhu Wu's words, Cao Zheng suddenly remembered that he had sent Zhao Huan to fool Huang Qianshan's inner guard. If this is true, this Xiahoucheng is not simple!

Nod and said, "Brother, don't worry, I know what to do"
