Yao Chong said with some emotion: "It can only be said that Zheng Peng is a lucky general." ”

is a bit famous, but he is not from a professional class, in the eyes of ordinary people, Zheng Peng is a great talent, but for those who were born in the imperial examination, it is similar to the mouth of the roadside performer, and he can't get into the hall of elegance, especially when he enters the teaching workshop, which is equivalent to a ninth-rate label in Yao Chong's eyes.

What is surprising is that Zheng Peng is like a panacea, he can make achievements wherever he puts it: he can make such a good song when he is in the workshop, and the lyrics are that Yao Chong can't find any fault, and he also saves face for Datang when he loses face, and Zheng Peng's pedal bike is also interesting for Yao Chong; Ran to the Western Regions as a prison army, Yao Chong was opposed, thinking that he was messing around, but he never imagined that he was so messing around, and he even made a great contribution.

Yao Chong investigated Zheng Peng's background, and had the impression that he was a guy with better luck than strength, and when he saw Zheng Peng make such a big feat, he didn't have to think about his strength, because Zheng Peng didn't have this kind of strength, and he could only describe it by stepping on dog shit luck, and a person who could step on dog shit luck again and again could only be described as Fu Future.

You can't say that the emperor is good, and he should go against the emperor.

In any case, he can only contribute to the Tang Dynasty, which is good, and Yao Chong is small-minded, and he will not be able to deal with an insignificant music official.

"Fu Jiang?" Li Longji was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and quickly said with a smile: "Yes, it is indeed a lucky general, by the way, Yao Xiang, Zheng Peng has seized so much iron, how do you say I should reward it?" ”

The soldiers of the Tang Dynasty did not have a salary to say, the soldiers should bring all their own things, even the grain and grass is no exception, the Yin Shi people are good to say, ordinary people can be a heavy burden, especially the kind of long-term service, in order to motivate the soldiers, the Tang Dynasty has formulated a set of perfect reward and punishment system, and also stipulates that the spoils captured by the soldiers on the battlefield belong to individuals, but important strategic materials should be sold to the state first.

Zheng Peng seized so much iron, which is of course a good thing, but these irons were not handed over in vain, and they need to be rewarded accordingly.

Military merit and honor are indispensable, and economic compensation is also indispensable, and if there is no corresponding return on what is handed over to the state, it will damage the prestige of the imperial court.

Yao Chong thought for a while, and quickly said respectfully: "Your Majesty, a long time ago, one iron and ten gold, even such a high price is also priceless, Zheng Peng's seized iron is worth no less than one million yuan, this is only the value of iron, if you count the reward of military merits, this reward is a lot, and the minister thinks that the way to promote and reward the field is better." ”

"I think the same way, forget it, this matter will be discussed later" Li Longji looked at the green shoots sprouting on the branches, and suddenly changed the topic: "Yao Xiang, in this battle in the Western Regions, who do you think will win and who will lose?" ”

Yao Chong said with confidence: "Datang will win!" ”

The situation in the Western Regions has long been spread throughout Chang'an, and the news that the Tang Dynasty is ready to send troops to teach Dashi and Tubo a lesson has long been no secret in Chang'an, and the latest news comes out from time to time.

The news of Zheng Peng's interception of the Tibetan convoy was quickly spread by well-informed people and soon spread.

Guo Ketang is one of the well-informed people.

Because of Guo Yuanzhen's relationship, Guo Ketang is very comfortable in the military, and it is easy to get the latest news and war reports, and after learning that Zheng Peng has made great contributions, he immediately went to Zheng's house to prepare to share it with Lin Xun'er.

Zheng Peng doesn't like to write letters very much, Lin Xun'er is very worried about Zheng Peng, and she is afraid of disturbing Zheng Peng, so she doesn't dare to take the initiative to write letters, and often looks for the well-informed Guo Ketang to inquire about Zheng Peng's news, knowing that Lin Xun'er is worried, so she will tell Lin Xun'er as soon as there is news.

Before I got to the door, I heard a commotion:

"Presumptuous, you two subordinates, where is your turn to speak!"

"My own nephew is not here, is it a slave bully? Do you want the old man to report to the official? ”

"A woman who came out of the Qinglou dared to let us eat behind closed doors, it was too bold, even if Zheng Peng was here, she didn't dare to do this, you came out for me."

"Bang bang" "Bang bang bang..."

"Two Langjun, this month, this is the third time you have come to ask for money..."

There was a crisp sound of "pop", and then an old-fashioned voice sounded: "What do you want money?" When we're begging, aren't we? Tell you, this is called filial piety, Zheng Peng is my own nephew, I am Zheng Peng's second uncle, isn't it natural for nephews to respect their elders? ”

When Guo Ketang heard this, his originally happy face suddenly became as depressed as eating a fly.

You don't need to look at it, as soon as you hear it, you can know that it is Zheng Peng's two elders, Zheng Yuanxing and Zheng Jiashu have come to ask for money again.

Zheng Peng is not here, Lin Xun'er doesn't want Zheng Peng to be difficult, and she doesn't want Zheng Peng to be distracted by things at home, so she didn't mention Zheng Yuanxing and Zheng Jiashu's coming, and gave the two of them ten yuan every month.

Seeing that Lin Xun'er was easy to speak, he grasped Lin Xun'er's weakness that he was afraid that Zheng Peng would be criticized, and slowly became fearless, changing tricks to ask for money, saying that his clothes were torn and there was no money to change, and when he said that he lost his money, he couldn't afford to eat, and when he said that he was sick, he wanted money to see Lang Zhong, etc., anyway, there were many reasons.

Lin Xun'er remembered that these two people were Zheng Peng's elders, and when they returned to the clan in the future, they would have to face these two people, with the idea that more things were better than less, and give him the money, Zheng Yuanxing and Zheng Jiashu felt that money came easily, so their appetite became bigger and bigger, and the shrewd Lin Xun'er saw that it was a bottomless pit country that was dissatisfied, and insisted on refusing, so there was a scene of Zheng Yuanxing and Zheng Jiashu being ashamed and angry.

It is said that they take people short and eat people's mouths, these two old people, they really don't want to be cheeky, and they live to dogs.

Seeing that Guo Ketang was about to get off the carriage, Guo Er, the entourage who followed him, persuaded: "Miss, it is difficult for a Qing official to decide family affairs, so you should not get involved in this kind of thing, so as not to be thankless." ”

"Miss Ben is not a clean official, and she is too lazy to take care of other people's housework, so she can't get used to seeing two old people bullying a weak woman." After Guo Ketang finished speaking, he jumped out of the carriage.

As soon as he got out of the carriage, Guo Ketang said: "Hey, what day is it today, so lively." ”

"Miss Guo, you're here." When Ah Fu saw Guo Ketang coming, his eyes lit up, as if he felt a sense of relief, and hurriedly stepped forward to say hello.

Zheng Yuanxing was about to kick the door with his foot, but when he saw Guo Ketang coming, he paused for a moment, retracted his foot, and smiled reluctantly: "Miss Guo, I haven't seen you for some days, don't come unharmed." ”

"You're welcome, hey, both, what are you doing here?"

Zheng Yuanxing said indignantly: "Miss Guo, you came just in time, you give the evaluation, the two of us who are elders have to eat behind closed doors at our nephew's house, you come to evaluate the evaluation." ”

"It's just that it's hateful to be disrespectful." Zheng Jiashu helped on the side.

Ah Fu whispered on the side: "Miss Guo, they are not here to visit, but to ask for money, this is the third time this month." ”

"Presumptuous, it's your turn to speak here, is there a place for you to speak?" Zheng Yuanxing's eyes widened, and he pointed at Ah Fu angrily.

"Miss Guo is here, and the angry little woman is far away." Behind the closed door at this time, Lin Xun'er's crisp voice came.
