Previously, they had once walked on Heitou mountain, and then it was a familiar road. Four days later, Tang Yin and his party successfully returned to the safe place of Fengguo.
Tang Yin did not dare to say that he had gained a lot from this trip to Sichuan, but he also gained a lot of knowledge and a deeper understanding of Sichuan.
Judging from the current national strength and popular sentiment of the state of Sichuan, it is almost impossible to defeat the state of Sichuan from the outside. The only way to win is to separate and disintegrate the state of Sichuan from the inside. The childe and Princess of the state of Sichuan fight openly and secretly, and the mutual fear between the imperial court and the family army can be used by the wind state. Of course, Tang Yin has not thought about what to do for the time being, He also needs more and more detailed information.
Back to the gateway city, Tang Yin first found Lotte and Ai Jia, so that the two of them could put all the eyes that could be moved in the sky and the ground net into the territory of Sichuan. After that, he knew all about the big events and small events in Sichuan.
It can be seen that the king has begun to prepare for the use of troops in Sichuan. Lotte and Aijia dare not neglect and immediately take orders.
Tang Yin carefully inspected inside and outside the pass city for a few days. He felt that his garrison was very stable. Then he set off and returned to Fengdu Zhenjiang.
It''s not far from andI to Zhenjiang, but it''s not close. Even if we march on the same journey, it will take about a month. On this day, Tang Yin''s guard of honor marched to Tiantu County in Andi. Further on, there were Chizhou and Gurao counties, which already belonged to modi.
In Songhua, the county city of Tiantu County, Tang Yin''s guard of honor was greeted by the county head Zhong Hai. Zhong Hai was a native of an. Before the death of an Guo, he served as the head of the deputy county in Tiantu county. After an Guo was swallowed by Feng Guo, the former head of the county was dismissed, and Zhong Hai was promoted accordingly.
Zhong Hai welcomed Tang Yin into the county capital of the city. The government had already prepared a rich banquet to welcome him. Tang Yin was very satisfied with Zhong Hai''s warm hospitality. During the dinner, he also pushed cups and changed lamps with him and had a good talk.
After three rounds of wine and five flavors of dishes, Zhong Hai asked people to remove the banquet and replace it with light refreshments and fruits, and invited all the singers and dancers who had been found in advance to perform.
While enjoying singing and dancing, Tang yinbian casually asked, "Lord Zhong?"
"Wei Chen is here!" Zhong Hai quickly leaned over to salute.
Tang Yin waved his hand to him, indicating that he didn''t have to be polite, and then asked, "how many people are there in Tiantu county? How much tax is there every year, and how much grain is there?"
The most basic situation in these places is naturally less difficult than Zhong Hai. He didn''t even think about it. He immediately answered: "report back to the king. Tiantu county has three counties, eight cities and nineteen towns. There are 1.2 million recorded people, 3 million liang of taxes, 5 million mu of land, 15 million stones of grain, and 4 million stones handed over to the court every year."
Tang Yin nodded. AndI is indeed rich. Just a county, it can produce an annual output of 3 million liang of silver and 4 million stones of grain. With andI in hand, it is estimated that in less than two years, the overall national strength of Feng country will be greatly improved.
Don''t let the king of the county trust you, but don''t let him down even though he can trust you
Zhong Hai quickly bowed down and said, "the king''s kindness is unforgettable to me. I will do my best to share my worries for the king and the court!"
"Yes!" Tang Yin said with a smile, "if you can think so, it''s the best."
As he was talking, there was a sudden noise outside the county capital. Zhong Hai secretly grinned and subconsciously looked at Tang Yin. Seeing that he didn''t show an unhappy color, he was a little relieved. He bowed his hands and said, "I heard that the king came to the county city, and the people in the city were happy and happy. They all wanted to see the king''s face with their own eyes. It must be the people gathered outside now. The minister sent someone to disperse them."
Tang Yin smiled, waved his hand and said casually, "it''s not in the way."
"Yes!" Zhong Hai answered, but he winked at his men standing at the door. It''s not proper to make such a noise. If you disturb the king''s elegance, he will be the first sin of the county.
At the sign of Zhong Hai, the soldiers in the mansion divided more than 100 people and ran out of the county capital one after another.
However, after they went out, they did not stop the noise, but made it louder. Tang Yin frowned and said sideways, "ah San, go out and see what''s going on!"
"King, just let me deal with it!" Zhong Hai quickly stood up. Tang Yin glanced at him and said calmly, "sit down."
Zhong Hai hesitated for a moment, and finally sat back obediently. At this time, his heart is also at sixes and sevens. He doesn''t know what happened outside. He can only pray silently and don''t make any trouble at this critical moment.
After a short time, ah Sanzhen went back and forth. Seeing this, Zhong Hai hurriedly stood up and looked at him.
Ah San ignored him, went directly to Tang Yin and whispered in his ear, "king, there are several spiritual practitioners outside the house who claim to be people from the divine pool. They want to see the king."
Sitting not far away, Ren Xiao and Chang Feng both heard ah San''s words. Who is in Shenchi? Well, why did the people of Shenchi find the king of the wind? Isn''t he... A disciple of Huangfu xiutai again?
Even Chang Feng, who has always been silent, began to tighten his nerves. If his younger martial brothers really came to trouble Feng Wang, he didn''t know how to deal with it. Whether he was on the side of Feng Wang or on the side of his master.
Tang Yin was stunned and smiled in her heart. It''s rare. When people in Shenchi found themselves, they didn''t come openly and aboveboard for many times. Most of them were secretly touching and black handed in the dark. He said with a smile, "it''s a guest. Please come in!"
"Yes! King!" Ah San promised, turned and walked out quickly.
Zhong Hai on one side breathed a sigh of relief, but on second thought, his heart came up to his throat again. He has also heard of the grievances between Tang Yin and Shenchi. This time, people take the initiative to come to the door. In case the king has any mistakes, the head of the county is also a capital crime!
Thinking of this, he excites his soul to fight a cold war, and quickly bows his hands and says, "king, I''m going to mobilize troops now..."
Tang Yin tutted and asked, "what are you doing with the army?"
"Nature... Nature is to protect the king..." Zhong Hai said carefully.
"When did the king fall to need your local army to protect him?" As he spoke, he turned his eyes and saw that the singers and dancers in the hall had stopped one after another, and the music stopped. He waved and said, "continue."
"But..." "it''s nothing. Just sit down and enjoy singing and dancing with the king." "Oh... Yes! King!" Zhong Hai wiped the cold sweat on his forehead and slowly sat back on the mat.
Before long, ah San came in from the outside. Behind him, there were six people dressed up by ordinary people, five men and one woman. The older one was in his forties, and the younger one looked over thirty.
Until they entered the hall, the performing singer and dancer stepped aside, saluted Tang Yinfu and bowed back.
Tang Yin looked at the six people. Even if he didn''t have insight into their skills, he felt the spiritual pressure emanating from them. He could also judge that they were all experts. Although they were not as good as Chang Feng and Ren Xiao, they were not too different.
Let''s say that the six people stood seven or eight steps away from Tang Yin, then bowed their hands together and said, "villain, meet your highness King Feng."
"Why not kneel down and worship the king?" Ah San asked in a cold voice.
Before the six people spoke, Tang Yin waved his hand and motioned for ah San. He asked with a smile, "I heard that everyone came from the divine pool."
"Yes!"
"How do you know that Wang is in Songhua?"
"We don''t know. We only know that your highness will pass by here, so we''ve been waiting here for five or six days." The oldest man said positively.
"Oh!" Tang Yin nodded noncommittally, then glanced at Ren Xiao and Chang Feng to see how they reacted and whether they knew the six people.
Tang Yin often shook his head and said that he didn''t move. Shenchi is a small place with a small population, but there are hundreds of thousands of people. Ren Xiao can''t be known by everyone and have an impression on everyone.
Now the only thing he can be sure of is that these six people are not Huangfu xiutai''s disciples. He doesn''t know who they came from.
After reading Ren Xiao''s statement, Tang Yin remained calm and knew it well. He said to the six people, "you come all the way to Songhua and wait for me for a few days. There must be something important!"
"Exactly!" The six people looked at each other. Finally, the old middle-aged man said, "we came to his Highness the king of the wind. I hope his highness can take us in."
Yo! His words surprised Tang Yin. Even Ren Xiao and Chang Feng were stunned. They thought they were different in the divine pool, but they didn''t expect that someone would be the same as them.
Tang Yin blinked, smiled and asked, "you know, I have a lot of holidays with Shenchi."
"The villain knows." The middle-aged man bowed heavily.
"If you go to the king, you may be the enemy of Shenchi!" Tang Yin reminded with a smile.
"The villain understands."
"Aren''t you, and your companions, afraid?"
"If we were afraid, we wouldn''t be here today." The middle-aged man answered simply.
Tang Yin leaned back, raised her head and said, "tell me, tell me your reason."
"My reason is very simple. I''m rich and successful. These sacred pools can''t give me, but his Highness the wind king can." The middle-aged man''s honesty is frightening and disgusting.
Another young man said, "the villain escaped from Shenchi by mistake. The reason why he defected to his highness is that his highness is not afraid of Shenchi. The villain can get his Highness''s protection, and his highness will not return the villain to Shenchi."
Among them, the only woman slowly said, "I accidentally found that she was not from Shenchi, but was forcibly captured to Shenchi when she was very young, and all her family were killed. As for whether the murderer was from Shenchi, I''m not sure yet, but Shenchi, I don''t want to stay any longer!"
