Chapter 1166 Lightning counterattack
Most of the dignitaries in the Tang Dynasty loved horses, and most of them were polo masters.
Xu Jingzong was an exception, he went to Wagang a long time ago, a group of rebels, who would have the mind to fight some horses! After returning to Datang, his character made it impossible to find friends.
Many people panic when they don’t have friends, and feel that they have been abandoned by the whole world. But Xu Jingzong is different, he feels that he is himself, and others have nothing to do with me. If you say you can't be happy without friends...
"The old man is not someone's vassal, why do you need others' approval to be happy?"
Xu Jingzong really thought so.
"Mr. Xu's advice!"
Jia Ping'an spoke very seriously.
He really felt that Lao Xu's attitude towards life was very serious.
"Xiao Jia, don't fool this old man."
"No fooling around." Jia Pingan said seriously: "People are lonely."
"Dou Dexuan is here." Xu Jingzong said: "You have entered the memorial to Jianyan and moved to Anxi to immigrate... Dou Dexuan objected, thinking that he should emigrate to the south. This matter is very troublesome. You know Dou Dexuan's temperament, and he is the most stubborn one. , if he thinks it's inappropriate, even His Majesty can't get money and food from the Ministry of Households."
"Is he against?"
Jia Pingan submitted the memorial, and proposed to increase the intensity of emigration to Anxi, but unexpectedly, the DPRK and China shelved it.
"Your Majesty is coming."
The Yang family belongs to the top team, and today's opponent is actually the team from Princess Gaoyang's residence. Princess Gaoyang's mansion just heard that there was a team coming, and it didn't take long before they dared to challenge the top team.
The dignitaries in Chang'an City were very interested in this. Seeing that even the emperor had come, they all stood up and saluted.
"Be more comfortable."
Li Zhi nodded.
Today, the sun is good and the sight line is good. Li Zhi feels refreshed like never before.
He saw Jia Ping'an got up and went to Dou Dexuan's side, so he asked, "Is there something about him in the household department recently?"
Dai Zhide, who came with him, said: "Your Majesty, Zhao Guogong suggested that the emigration favor Anxi, but Prime Minister Dou supports the south."
Li Zhi sat down, "Dou Dexuan is stubborn, does he want to persuade?"
Dai Zhide said with a smile: "At that time, Prime Minister Xu argued many times, but was refuted by Prime Minister Dou one by one. Mr. Zhao may have other ideas."
Naturally, nobles can’t sit in a row. Five people from Dou Dexuan’s family came.
"President Dou is on an outing!"
Dou Dexuan raised his eyes, "Xiao Jia, come, let's have a drink together."
"I won't drink."
Don't you feel dizzy after drinking in the morning?
The grandson of Dou Dexuan's family quickly gave up his seat, and Jia Pingan sat down and said, "The child of Dou's family looks good."
When people are old, they like others to praise their children and grandchildren the most. Naturally, Dou Dexuan couldn't avoid it. He raised his glass and said happily, "Why don't the children of Xiao Jia's family come out to play?"
"The child is making a fuss." Jia Pingan frowned and said, "Today, after school break, the child is going to a wedding banquet with his mother. He said he was rushing back for lunch, so I asked why he didn't eat at that house. The child was stubborn, saying that there were..."
Dou Dexuan laughed, "Could it be that your family is short of a meal? But since all gifts are given, it is natural to have a meal at that house."
"yes!"
Jia Pingan smiled and said: "Since they have all given gifts, why don't you have a meal? I said...the ones at home are at home, and the ones at home are kept at home. You can eat them anytime. But you can't eat them outside. If you miss today, you can eat them again." I can't eat it either."
Dou Dexuan was startled.
Jia Pingan said: "Grand Dou has traveled more bridges than I have traveled, so he naturally knows this truth. I have another sentence...you must be patient when eating your own food, and be ruthless when eating other people's food."
Jia Pingan stood up and said goodbye.
Dou Dexuan suddenly smiled while holding the wine glass.
"What a little Jia!"
When Jia Ping'an went back, Xu Jingzong asked, "How is it?"
"It's done."
Xu Jingzong sneered: "Just said a few words, do you think the old man is blind?"
He got up and went over.
There are a lot of immigrants in Datang every year. If they migrate in one direction with all their strength, the effect will be extraordinary. But if you immigrate in two directions at the same time, there will be a phenomenon that both sides will not have enough to eat.
This question caused a dispute in the court, the queen did not express her position, and the prime ministers below were divided into two factions to argue endlessly.
Seeing Jia Pingan go to talk to Dou Dexuan, the prime ministers all smiled at each other.
"Is this to find Dou Dexuan to hit the bell? Difficult." Liu Rengui was defiant, but he still couldn't attack the God of Wealth.
He saw Xu Jingzong cupping his hands and talking... Not long after, Xu Jingzong came back with a look of astonishment on his face.
"this…"
Liu Rengui is also a faction that supports immigration to the south. The starting point is very simple, that is the land.
"The population is increasing day by day, but the land is not enough. It is becoming more and more embarrassing for newcomers to grant land in the Guanzhong area. Local officials are complaining, saying that there is no extra land, and the newcomers can only go to remote places, but now even the remote There's no place left... Do you want those newcomers to sit at home and wait to starve to death?"
Zhang Wenguan's attitude is very sharp.
Li Yifu fell, Shangguanyi fell, and now there are two prime ministers missing in the court. Who can take the top position... A group of qualified bosses are all eyeing. At this time, you have to say that brother is silent, just give up. What you say depends on the emperor. Some emperors like obedient courtiers.
But in the later period, Li Zhi obviously changed. The selection of a prime minister is no longer based on whether he obeys his own words as the core element, but a comprehensive consideration.
So there is no way to fight, but to clarify your attitude, clearly express your political ideas, and don't be a fool.
Dai Zhide glanced at the emperor and said: "There are many fields in the south, but there are also many miasmas. Most people don't want to go."
Many places in the south are still synonymous with wildness at this moment, but the Anxi area is an important place for commerce.
Xu Jingzong came back with a look of seeing a ghost.
"Mr. Xu, how are you?"
Zhang Wenguan asked.
Even the emperor was interested in knowing Dou Dexuan's attitude.
In this matter, the Ministry of Household Affairs has the greatest say... How much food will be spent on immigration and how to maintain it in the future, all these need to be planned and presided over by the Ministry of Household Affairs. The Ministry of Households is opposed to this matter, and others support it.
Xu Jingzong said: "Dou Dexuan said... it is better to immigrate to Anxi."
Liu Rengui: "..."
Dai Zhide was secretly happy.
Zhang Wenyu was stunned, "Prime Minister Dou was still ruthless in court yesterday, saying that if he fully supports the immigration of Anxi, he will resign and go home to retire..."
How did this change your attitude?
Dou Dexuan's combat effectiveness is undoubtedly high, old and strong, even the emperor feels a little jealous of him.
Xu Jingzong said: "Xiao Jia went to tell him a story..."
Are you kidding me!
The prime ministers were angry.
"It's useless to talk about hype."
"Xu Qing, tell me."
The emperor made the final decision.
Xu Jingzong said: "Xiao Jia said that the child in the family went to the wedding banquet with his mother today, but the child said that he would go home for lunch, saying that the family had it."
Zhang Wenguan said casually: "The congratulatory gift has been sent, why don't you eat it?"
There was silence around.
After a long time, the emperor smiled and said, "The south is our home, and Anxi is not our own right now. If you want to eat, naturally eat outside."
"Xiao Jia said that you have to be patient when you eat your own food, and you have to be ruthless when you eat other people's food!"
Dai Zhide said: "If you have good things at home, put them away first, and you can eat them anytime. It's best to wait until you can't find food outside, and then come back to eat at home. It's true."
"You have to be patient when you eat your own food, and you have to be ruthless when you eat other people's food. What you say is not harsh."
Wang Zhongliang couldn't help but said: "The gold and silver mines in the country should not be dug, but dig outside first."
The monarch and his ministers are silent.
Wang Zhongliang was apprehensive, worried that he would be dealt with if he said something wrong.
It’s nothing more than kneeling in the palace, there are a lot of people here, and everyone has seen it... How should we behave in the future?
The emperor smiled, "That's true."
Wang Zhongliang was overjoyed.
…
Xu Jingzong went back, "Your Majesty and the prime ministers are all praising you."
Jia Pingan said flatly: "It's just a trivial matter."
A group of prime ministers can’t say no to Dou Dexuan, do you think this is a trivial matter? Xu Jingzong: "..."
Once the direction of priority immigration is determined, the speed of construction in Anxi will then be accelerated. Ten years later, it will become a solid fortress of Datang.
"Tubo has been maimed, and it is said that civil strife is raging now. Turks have been maimed, and they are killing each other. Tucharo and other countries dare not show their teeth to the Tang Dynasty even though they are so courageous..."
Xu Jingzong is very optimistic.
But Jia Pingan was thinking about Dashi.
When will Dashi come?
They will definitely come, otherwise Anxi's development and growth will make them extremely disturbed.
"When Anxi has 100,000 Tang people, as long as the Hexi Corridor is in hand, then no one in the world can shake Anxi."
The Hexi Corridor is in the hands of Datang, and Chang'an's army can be deployed at any time.
"When Anxi has 500,000 Tang people, Tocharian and other countries will bow their heads and call Dad."
500,000 people, one out of ten is 50,000 troops.
What is the concept of a fifty thousand army?
Jia Pingan led an army of 110,000 last time, but the core was only 50,000 soldiers of the Tang Dynasty.
So why was Gao Xianzhi able to roam the Western Regions with the back of the Anxi Protectorate?
It is because after years of development, there are more and more Tang people in Anxi, and there are enough resources.
After the Hexi Corridor was cut off, Anxi was still able to support itself for 50 years, thanks to those immigrants.
"coming."
Xu Jingzong pointed to the side of the court.
Two teams showed up.
Gao Yang was sitting among a group of noble ladies. He wanted to brag, but he thought that the team was just about to be formed, and worried about being slapped in the face, he said: "Da Lang likes to tinker with these things, so I just let him play."
"Xiao Langjun made this?"
"Of course." Gao Yang said proudly: "Da Lang has his own ideas in doing things. If he wants to practice archery, he must practice it. I can't even argue with him. He wants to play horses. If you say that the family has no money, it's fine. Since there is money, a team of cavalry will not cost much, so let him get it."
Someone's eyelids twitched wildly, "The horse team spends a lot."
A group of team members must be paid high salaries, otherwise they will not work hard. A herd of good horses has to be reared carefully, and these expenses are quite a lot.
Gao Yang said flatly: "It's nothing."
Sister is rich!
Yang Erniang and her younger sister Yang Sanniang were also watching.
"Our family."
Yang Sanniang clapped her hands violently, filled with joy.
The Yang family's team is of a high level, and the audience cheered for it after playing.
Yang Erniang said proudly: "The little thief is still not here?"
Gao Yang's team is on the field.
A group of players looks bad, but they are full of confidence.
It was Li Shuo who took the lead.
Yang Erniang said: "A toad who is delusional."
Yang Sanniang took a closer look, "Sister, this boy looks so proud!"
Li Shuo looked calm, even if he was watched by the rich and powerful, he remained indifferent.
"Proud boy!" Li Zhi smiled slightly, "Is Gao Yang proud?"
"Look, how is my Da Lang?" Gao Yang said triumphantly: "If you have a good woman in your family, don't marry randomly. After a few years, my Da Lang grows up and sees you."
A group of noble ladies were very angry.
"Your Dalang is the only one. What do you think, you think you are choosing a concubine!"
"that is."
A group of noble ladies didn't care about any taboos at all, the more taboo topics they talked about, the more exciting they were.
Jia Pingan looked at his son with a smile, "Not bad, at least I don't have stage fright."
Xu Jingzong said: "Your kid doesn't look like ten years old, but more like fifteen or sixteen years old."
Jia Ping'an was silent.
It was his fault.
The child knew that he was an illegitimate child since he was a child. Although Jia Ping'an tried his best to make up for the missing father's love, the reputation of an illegitimate child has become an unbearable burden for the child.
Faced with such unbearable weight, some people were crushed and some counterattacked.
The two sides began to negotiate.
"Can you know the rules?"
The manager of the Yang family's team is called Yang Yue.
Li Shuo nodded, "Of course I know."
Yang Yue said: "So...do you want a lottery?"
Naturally, the ball game cannot be carried out in a smooth manner. There are nobles on both sides. How can I be worthy of my lack of stimulation if I don’t have a lottery?
Li Shuo hesitated for a moment.
Yang Yue couldn't help laughing.
This is because I feel that I will lose.
Li Shuo nodded, "Okay."
Yang Yue asked: "Can I ask the princess?"
Li Shuo shook his head, "How much?"
Yang Yue turned around and glanced at the Yang family, and said, "How about a hundred thousand dollars? Isn't it too much?"
In his opinion, Li Shuo had to ask Gao Yang, or Jia Pingan.
"good."
Li Shuo agreed casually.
I'm afraid this kid is... fooling me.
One hundred thousand dollars is nothing to a powerful family, but Li Shuo is just a child.
Of course Gao Yang will admit it afterwards, but a ball game is an opportunity to make friends, don't turn Gao Yang into an enemy, it's not worth it.
"Mr. Jun, do you want to ask?" Yang Yue smiled.
We are here to make friends, not to find enemies!
Li Shuo said: "My pocket money is enough."
Yang Yue's smile froze...
A pocket money of 100,000 yuan?
He didn't know that Jia Ping'an was very generous in giving money to his children, but he was strict in discipline. That is to say, children have a lot of money from an early age, but they know how to spend it.
This is Jia Pingan's view of wealth.
If you control your children’s pocket money from an early age, it seems that you let the children know that money is hard to come by, but when they grow up, they will have a huge amount of money, and no one supervises...
Under such temptations, how many children can bear it?
So Jia Pingan did the opposite, let the children have wealth when they were young, but strictly controlled it.
As time goes by, money is a number for children.
There was a stalemate here, and someone came to ask.
"What does it mean?"
Gao Yang's willow eyebrows stood on end, and he couldn't help but clenched his little leather whip tightly.
Today she specially wore a red dress, making people think of the princess who frightened the rich and powerful in Chang'an back then.
The person who went to ask came back and said: "The Yang family asked the county king for a lottery, 100,000 yuan, and the county prince agreed."
A lady asked: "The princess is not short of a hundred thousand dollars, just take it."
Gao Yang sat down gracefully, and said calmly: "Da Lang has hundreds of thousands of pocket money, one hundred thousand...isn't a big deal."
Yang Erniang also got the news, and couldn't help being surprised, "He actually has so much pocket money?"
Yang Sanniang enviously said: "Sister, if I have so much pocket money, I will go out and buy, buy, buy..."
After the negotiation between the two parties is completed, there is no need to establish any written documents.
"Then...ready?" Yang Yue took a step back.
Li Shuo nodded.
Yang Yue went back and said to the players: "The lottery is 100,000 yuan, you are waiting for 30,000 yuan."
A group of players suddenly became excited as if they had been injected with chicken blood.
"It's hard to find an opponent in Chang'an, but the opponent is Princess Gaoyang's people, and the Duke of Xiaojun is also here, so win less and save face."
I have to say that the dignitaries have a keen sense of this aspect.
A few words can be summed up as making friends with the ball.
The game is about to start.
Players from both sides enter the field.
Li Zhi asked: "How many prizes?"
"It is said to be 100,000 yuan." Wang Zhongliang said eagerly: "All slaves want to try."
Li Zhi smiled.
For emperors and dignitaries, lottery is just a stimulus.
Li Shuo was quite calm, which was appreciated by everyone.
"This kid is not timid, it's really good."
Xu Jingzong was quite envious.
"Someone started a gamble, and the Yang family won the most." Xu Xiaoyu brought back the news.
Jia Pingan said: "Go and tell the starter, I will bet a million dollars."
Xu Xiaoyu went over and said, the man who started the game was stunned, "Millions?"
Xu Xiaoyu said: "My husband said, this is his bet."
The man smiled and said, "One million dollars is naturally not a problem for the Duke...Are you sure?"
If you lose, you will be in vain.
Xu Xiaoyu nodded, "Sure."
The man looked at Jia Pingan, who nodded slightly.
The man of the Tang Dynasty must practice what he says, and he said that a million dollars is a million dollars, not to mention that many people around him heard it.
"Zhao Guogong bet a million dollars."
Wang Zhongliang felt too arrogant.
The biggest bet in this field was born.
"Princess, Zhao Guogong bet a million dollars!"
Gao Yang was delighted when he heard it, "Then I'll bet a million dollars too."
The man who started the game had a lot of fun.
This pair of parents are willing to give up for their children, throwing out two million dollars without even batting an eyelid.
"Tell me about it, let me tell you that I made a lot of money today."
The ball game is about to begin.
Array on both sides.
"Hey! Why is the formation on the Duke's side wrong?"
Li Shuo's team position is very strange, with one player in the front, five players in the middle, and four players in the back, which is quite different from the current mainstream formation.
There are ten players in each team. Originally, the goal was in the middle. Later, someone suggested that one goal on each side is better, so they changed it.
After the change, Ma's tactics became more and more abundant. The half court has become one's own territory, attacking when attacking, and blocking the opponent from entering one's own half court when defending, this has become the current tactic.
"start!"
The ball game has begun.
Yang's family got the ball and immediately began to charge forward.
The person on the opposite side leaned against the side of the ball holder and kept harassing.
The ball was passed successfully, and the number one star of the Yang family was ready to meet in front of him.
Just when the Yang family was rejoicing, a rider came out of the diagonal stab, and he was prepared to break the ball.
Off the court, Li Shuo said softly: "Block the opponent's passing route, leaving a route for people to stare at. The opponent must either return the pass, or pass the only one line... It is very interceptable."
Li Shuo's team got the ball and started to counterattack immediately.
A rider in front of him suddenly moved forward, attracting two opposing players to defend.
Two riders appeared on the two wings and were accelerating.
The ball holder in the middle continues to advance rapidly, and the two teammates around him open up the gap to contain the opposing player.
"Keep an eye on the man in front!"
Yang Yue shouted.
The ball holder makes a sudden pass, left wing!
The left-wing player gets the ball and immediately goes forward.
"Stop him!"
The two players defending the striker immediately went to the left wing, but at this moment, the striker accelerated.
How to defend?
The remaining defender was dumbfounded, follow up? But the opponent has already broken in at a high speed.
While he was still hesitating, the pass from the left wing went.
The player in the middle gets the ball, and the last defender is desperate, but fortunately someone catches up in time.
But the opponent made an easy pass...
The right wing is empty!
The unmarked right winger catches the ball and takes an easy shot.
The horse passed through the hollow in the plank.
The players were dumbfounded.
Yang Yue: "..."
The entire audience was shocked by this lightning counterattack.
…
Good night!
