Chapter 590: Persuasion

Like-minded people can talk together.

Having someone to complain about in common can achieve the same effect, uh, maybe even better.

Manager Zhou Da and Master Gu Feng Qianliang chatted animatedly.

Yan Laoer's so-called idea was very simple, just say that he was wrong and complain harshly.

Master Qian Liang really has nothing to say, he is not familiar with Yan Laoer!

I had no choice but to agree with Manager Zhou while digging out the little things he knew.

"... Yan Er, the top scholar, is so famous! What the hell, when he was taking the exam in Gufeng, our eldest master barely let him pass, but who thought of Fucheng and jumped up!"

"No... no... it's not cheating. How could he have the courage? It's just that this year's test question was clever. It asked about the cold disaster. His teacher and his eldest brother are both capable. They have made preparations for the winter early. He is on the side. I’ve read a lot, but I haven’t written much about it. I heard that no one is as good as him. There are a lot of names written. Copying the top papers in previous years is a hot job, and everyone wants to get lucky. This year, all the copied documents are clamoring for a price increase... To put it far, I mean, Yan Er is not taking the exam based on his own real ability. He...he...came up because of his teacher and big brother!"

"Their Huju also passed on a word...called...student scumbag, yes, scumbag, it refers to Yan Er, the scum in the county school, that's what it probably means..."

Manager Zhou slapped his thigh and said, "Stupid scumbag! That's so well said! The good coal in Xizhou is called coal, and the broken, hard-to-burn coal that leaks out of the bag is called slag, hahaha! Yan The second is a scumbag! Come on, master, let’s go together!”

The master didn't say anything and just drank a cup in one mouthful.

Manager Zhou praised: "It's so enjoyable!"

As soon as I raised my neck, I also had a cup of it.

"Tell me, Huju is coming, and you, Gufeng, are coming too. What? Are they also here for coal?"

Master Qian Liang looked around hard with a pair of blurry drunken eyes.

"No one, no one, just the two of us. It's quite mysterious. What a big deal!" Manager Zhou rolled his eyes, looking down on him for being so petty.

The master picked the peanuts on the plate with his fingers and placed them on the table one by one.

Manager Zhou felt disgusted again and said to himself, I have to remember these pills, but I can’t eat them.

The master laid it out, dipped the wine in the bottom of the cup, and drew a few lines on the table.

He muttered: "This is your Xizhou, this is our Gufeng, this is the tiger, oh, nothing will happen if there is no tiger..." As he spoke, he picked up the peanuts and rice grains that represented the tiger, ate them, and chewed them. Zhu Huahua said: "This is Leshan, next to our two places..."

"What do you want to say?" Manager Zhou was impatient.

The master was a bit superior and should have taken a more roundabout way, but he was feeling dizzy, so he said: "Leshan Prefecture has many mountains and little land, and the area close to us is even more remote. They can't control it. There are many bandits in these mountains." , they can’t control it... They are responsible for this job, hiccup! How can it not go wrong?”

"What's wrong?" Manager Zhou asked.

"The boundary monument is wrong!" Master muttered with his eyes wide open: "Why is it so close to us? It should be further away... further away..." He traced his fingers all the way to a position and said uncertainly: "Just This, it could be this..." He moved forward again, and then said with certainty: "The boundary monument was here before, we have the county annals, it can't be wrong!"

He seemed to have no intention of saying again: "Even if we made a mistake, your Xizhou people can't make a mistake, right? We will know as soon as we compare it, it is Leshan, Leshan Prefecture who made a mistake! Here, this area, here is Our Guanzhou belongs to Gufeng, and here, hey, it belongs to your Xizhou!”

…

"Your Majesty, that's what Gu Feng's master really said!"

Manager Zhou's face turned red.

He is really greedy and loves to drink, and he is not a big drinker, but he can still distinguish the seriousness of things. Even though he and the money and grain master are drunk together, Manager Zhou relies on his strong will and borrows the power of ice and snow. If you feel cold, rub your face with snow to relieve hangover quickly.

Not missing a word, I repeated it exactly as it was written.

"Gu Feng City... moving the boundary monument is not a trivial matter. What are they going to do? Is it really because of those mountains?" King Qi didn't believe it.

Manager Zhou: "What Ting Ting said is that he wants to imitate the tiger and hunt wild animals from the mountains. There are really few mountains and forests in Gufeng, and you can't see much at ordinary times. There is a drought and the mountains are cool, so you can find a lot of food to satisfy your hunger." Things, the weather is cold, in the mountains The wild animals couldn't bear it and froze to death. They could pick up meat to eat without having to hunt hard. There were so many mountains in Leshan Prefecture that they themselves didn't care about them. But if you think about it carefully, those fugitives living in the mountains... Isn’t that just relying on the mountain?”

King Qi raised his eyebrows and walked around the sand table with his hands behind his back.

This is a sand table made by Xizhou's skilled craftsmen who took seven months to make it.

Leshan and Guanzhou are all on it, and even Beirong and Xirong are included in it.

However, foreigners are nomadic all year round. Apart from stationing in a few fixed and lush pastures, their whereabouts are unpredictable and of little significance.

Mainly Guanzhou Prefecture and Leshan Prefecture.

The former is a border town like Xizhou, and the latter is a must-pass when entering Beijing.

"How is Magistrate Gu Feng...?" King Qi asked casually.

Manager Zhou nodded and bowed: "It is said that he is a man with great ambitions and talent. He wants to climb up. Unfortunately, his family is not rich and the legs of this chair cannot stand up."

King Qi sneered.

"He's not a good person, but he's quite courageous."

He stretched out his hand, and the white-faced middle-aged man next to him stepped forward and handed him a clamping rod.

He brought another box over.

The box opened and was filled with golden beads.

These gold beads are uniform in size, round and full.

Manager Zhou didn't dare to look at it after just one glance. He lowered his head and swallowed.

King Qi clamped a gold bead with a clamping rod and placed it firmly on a certain place on the sand table. He placed another gold bead a little apart and placed several beads in succession along this line...

Manager Zhou knew that the prince was tempted and was using gold beads to redefine the boundaries.

King Qi looked around for a while and was a little dissatisfied. He used the top of the clamping rod to slightly move the golden bead to adjust its position.

"Since Leshan can't be managed by myself, I will help to do it for you. Our Xizhou has a strong army and strong horses. It is necessary to destroy the bandits and restore peace to Leshan... In this way, the boundary of our Xizhou is here... It seems that good."

Manager Zhou was in high spirits and said happily: "Your Majesty is wise! Once the boundary stone is moved, we will send people to garrison it, and we will be closer to the canal!"

King Qi gave a slight hum.

Manager Zhou quickly stopped talking and slapped his mouth twice.

"The villain makes a mistake, the villain makes a mistake."

"Tell that man Gu Feng that I can help you with this, but you owe me the favor of Xizhou and I have to repay it!"

…

"Xiaoer, there's no one in the east!"

"Xiaoer, there isn't one in the west!"

"There's no one in the north!"

"Not even in the south!"

The children who were allowed to go out came back one by one to report.

Yan Yu nodded seriously.

Pointing to a few high points nearby, he said: "You guys, stand here and if someone approaches, come and report immediately!"

"yes!"

"Okay!"

"Take orders!"

Yan Yu compared the sketch he drew with the scenery in front of him.

He said with satisfaction: "Uncle Qi, Uncle Qi, let's get started!"
