"It is said that General Zheng is a huge rich man in Chang'an, and when I see it today, it really deserves his reputation." Li Linfu said a little sourly.

This is showing off, naked showing off, Li Linfu slandered in his heart, but Zheng Peng has the capital to show off, he wants official luck, he wants to have official luck, he wants to have financial luck, not to mention anything else, it is Li Linfu, and he also sent money to Zheng Peng: the stove at home and the fast cooling are produced by Sanbao; The bicycle used occasionally for travel was purchased from the Three Treasures; The sake that I drink every month is also bought at a high price from Baume & Mercier Distillery.

What makes Li Linfu envious and jealous the most is that Zheng Peng is obviously a businessman, but the business he does is linked to the "contribution", the bicycle of the Three Treasures, compared with the horse, saves time, effort and money, and many post guards and yacha are used, saving a lot of expenses, and the land has also become clean, unlike in the past, when I saw dung eggs pulled down by horses on the ground from time to time; The alcohol produced by the Baume & Mercier Wine Workshop is the best medicine for treating wounds, saving the lives of many Tang Dynasty soldiers, so that the emperor praised Zheng Peng a lot.

What is this called, the silver is there, the face is also there, and the fish and the bear's paw are both.

Zheng Peng smiled and said disapprerovingly: "Money, if you don't bring it in life, if you don't take it away in death, you can spend it when you should spend it, Li Shilang, please sit down, let's eat and talk at the same time." ”

If you come, you will be safe, Li Linfu sat down very calmly.

For Li Linfu, it doesn't matter whether he is an enemy or a friend, what matters is whether it is beneficial to himself, as long as there are enough interests, enemies can become friends, and friends can also become enemies, this is the reason why Li Linfu happily went to the banquet.

After sitting down, Li Linfu's eyes turned, and he quickly spoke: "General Zheng's words are incisive, I have long heard that General Zheng is righteous and squanders money, and regards money as dung, which can be regarded as insight. ”

"It's not a righteous squandering of money, it's just that you have some surplus money in your hands, take care of the people around you, Li Shilang don't kill me." As he spoke, Zheng Peng glanced at Li Linfu intentionally or unintentionally, and a subtle sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth.

After years of operation, Huang San's subordinates heard that Li Linfu had an affair with Pei Guangting's wife Pei Wu, and the two had a little unpleasant quarrel recently, because Li Linfu was old, his appearance and physical strength were not as good as in the past, in order to pursue progress, Pei Wu's was also a little cold, causing Pei Wu's dissatisfaction, a few days ago Li Linfu sent Pei Wu's jewelry, Pei Wu's was very dissatisfied, and said to the people around him that Li Linfu was getting less and less concerned, and ordinary goods were also able to give it to himself.

Now Li Linfu is raising money everywhere, just to give a generous gift to Pei Wu's family who can bring him network resources, and Zheng Peng just pulls him into the water.

To tell the truth, even Zheng Peng has to admit that Li Linfu is an old handsome guy, now he is nearly half a hundred years old, he is still dignified and has an extraordinary temperament, if he was young, he must be a beautiful man with a personable demeanor, no wonder Pei Wu's married an upper-class figure like Pei Guangting, and secretly broke off the connection with Li Linfu.

The one who can cuckold the prime minister is definitely a fierce man, and this thing has been raising money, so it is estimated that he is about to borrow money from himself.

Just waiting for you to speak.

Sure enough, Li Linfu said a little unnaturally: "I have been a little short of money recently, and I want to borrow a little turnover from General Zheng, but I don't know if it's convenient?" ”

"How much does Li Shilang need?"

"Not much, just 100,000." Li Linfu was a little flustered in his heart, but he was still very calm on the surface.

Zheng Peng put down the teacup in his hand and said with a light face: "One hundred thousand? Not much. ”

Just when Li Linfu was secretly happy in his heart, Zheng Peng's voice changed, and he quickly said: "However, I won't borrow it." ”

"Oh, forget it." The look of loss on Li Linfu's face flashed, and he pretended not to care.

If you don't borrow, you don't borrow, and you're making a fuss here, as if you can really help yourself, which is actually a pastime.

I thought that this matter would pass like this, after all, the two of them were fighting-for-tat in front, borrowing is a favor, not borrowing is a reason, but I didn't expect Zheng Peng to say in a surprising voice: "What is a mere 100,000 yuan, it is rare for Li Shilang to speak, and it is not a problem to have a few times more." ”

Li Linfu paused for a moment, and said with some puzzlement: "Didn't General Zheng just say that he wouldn't borrow?" What, changed your mind? ”

"I haven't changed my mind, this money is not borrowed, but given, and there is no need to pay it back."

"General Zheng" Li Linfu said: "Presumably, there is a premise for this send, you and I are both shrewd people, so it is better to be honest." ”

If Zheng Peng said to borrow, his tone was a little sarcastic, or he explained that he would receive some profits, Li Linfu still felt normal, Zheng Peng said that the money did not need to be repaid, and said that it was more than 100,000 yuan, which was too unusual, the two of them did not get close to each other, and there was friction in front of them, so it was definitely not that simple.

Zheng Peng didn't beat around the bush, and said straight up: "I'm not afraid of Li Shilang's jokes, maybe it's too heavy in Tubo, I haven't slept very well recently, after asking the masters, I said that building a road can be resolved, building a road is a good thing to do good and accumulate virtue, I thought about it, or don't repair, a repair will have to make a big move, Chang'an to Luoyang This official road, has always been overcrowded, crowded with cars and horses, building a new road diversion is good, this matter has been measured by people, but to build a road, first to collect land, land is not an easy task, involving a lot of problems, needs a well-connected and eloquent person, and after thinking about it, I still think that Li Shilang is the most suitable. ”

"What?" Li Linfu said in surprise: "Build a new road from Chang'an to Luoyang? General Zheng, you're not kidding, from Chang'an to Luoyang, to say the least, there are more than 700 miles, it's too far. ”

As soon as Zheng Peng set out, the elite of Tubo suffered heavy casualties, not to mention anything else, he created an avalanche in Namco, burying tens of thousands of horses and horses in the ground, there are tens of thousands of undead here, and it is strange if the killing is not heavy, hearing that Zheng Peng did not sleep well, Li Linfu secretly applauded in his heart, and when Zheng Peng said to build a mountain road of more than 700 miles, he couldn't believe his ears.

Ordinary people build roads, mostly to repair old roads, it's not bad to build three or five miles, Zheng Peng is too exaggerated, one repair is more than 700 miles, repair more than 700 miles, how much does it cost, it is definitely an astronomical amount.

"No kidding, it's just to build a new road, from Chang'an to Luoyang." Zheng Peng said with a serious face.

Li Linfu couldn't help but say: "General Zheng, it's good to have the heart to do good deeds and accumulate virtues, build a road and build a section, just express your heart, if you really build a road from Chang'an to Luoyang, the cost is too great, and the gold and silver sea will not be spent." ”

Anyway, now Li Linfu is very short of money, for the sake of Zheng Peng saying that he wants to send him money, Li Linfu still persuades him.

"There is Lao Li Shilang who is concerned, I have been thinking about this for a long time, and I think very clearly, isn't it just money, I spend it, and I can't get a smile on my face if I pile them up in the warehouse, repair, resolutely repair." Zheng Peng's tone was very resolute.

Building such a long road is no different from throwing money into the sea, is there such a sin as deep?

Wait, Li Linfu suddenly thought of Zheng Peng's last sentence "No matter how much money you can't get a smile", he soon had a feeling of sudden enlightenment.

By the way, Zheng Peng was originally a music official, and his future was bleak, but he didn't expect him to make a career in the Western Regions and Tubo, the Tubo people and the people of the Western Regions who died in Zheng Peng's hands over the years are still eating countless people, it may be that the killing is too heavy, so that the luck of the children and grandchildren is low, Zheng Peng has been married for several years, whether it is the main house or the side room, will he be in a hurry, and want to build the road with the goods seized from the battlefield, the so-called good deeds and accumulate virtue, in fact, he wants to have a son through road repair.

There are three unfilial pieties, and no queen is great.

After figuring out this, Li Linfu felt very happy, but he still said quietly on his face: "General Zheng has won the award, and he is a small squire, how can he take on this important responsibility, the general should ask another master." ”

Zheng Peng said unhurriedly: "Li Shilang doesn't need to answer in a hurry, in fact, whether Li Shilang agrees or not, the overall situation of this matter has been decided, and I asked Li Shilang to come, which is also to give Father-in-law Gao a face." ”

Li Linfu's heart tightened, and he squinted and asked, "Give Grandpa Gao face?" If there is no high father-in-law in this matter, what difference does it make? ”

Zheng Peng's meaning, Li Linfu heard it, before the Chinese New Year, the two made a bet when they mediated and separated, and the winner could give the loser a thing that he could do and not violate Tang Law, Li Longji personally made the referee, and Xiao Song and others testified, and he couldn't rely on it, it was obvious that this land acquisition, he agreed to do it, and he didn't agree to do it.

The condition is to let himself help him acquire land, not to grab land, not to violate Tang Law, for himself, it is a matter of running feet, and it is also within his ability.

Damn, I haven't seen Zheng Pengti for so long, I thought he had forgotten, but I didn't expect him to forget at all, and as soon as he opened his mouth, he arranged a drudgery for himself.

"The difference is big" Zheng Peng snapped his fingers, and said without changing his face: "I wanted Li Shilang to collect the land at the market price, and he didn't give forage for the grinding and grinding, no, he didn't pay for his work and was busy in vain, but Gonggong Gao said that he and Li Shilang were old friends, and he didn't want the two of us to have a conflict, so he was caught in the middle and was in a dilemma, and said that he hoped that the two of us could shake hands and make peace. ”

Speaking of this, Zheng Peng exhaled, raised the index finger of his right hand and said, "I will add one percent to the market price of the land as Li Shilang's running fee." ”

What, Ichisei?

When Li Linfu heard this, his pupils couldn't help but shrink, and soon, a complicated look flashed in his eyes.

Yicheng doesn't listen much, but from Chang'an to Luoyang, it is more than 700 miles long, and there is too much land to collect, and the amount is in millions, that is to say, this is a reward worth hundreds of thousands of yuan, and the thought of running and running has a windfall of hundreds of thousands of yuan, Li Linfu's breathing is also heavy.

It's a windfall.

"General Zheng, this road is not easy to repair, such a big project, it is easy to attract criticism, Chang'an is the capital, Luoyang is the eastern capital, there are not only the territories and private lands of the princes and ministers around, but also many are imperial villages, the emperor will definitely not sell land for money, it is difficult to do." Li Linfu said with an embarrassed face.

Li Linfu did not directly refuse, but said that it was difficult, Zheng Peng knew that he was tempted when he heard it, and said calmly when he heard this: "This has obtained the emperor's approval and support, and the land belonging to the Huangzhuang can be paid according to the market price." ”

Birds die for food, people die for money, 10,000 or even 100,000 Li Linfu may not be in his eyes, but 100,000 or even hundreds of thousands of guan is enough to make a Li Linfu who is worried about money moved, and even give up his position.
