Lan'er is not a greedy person for money, but when she saw the 30,000 silver ingots of white flowers sent by Wu Shi Tong, she was also shocked in her heart. 30,000 taels, which is equivalent to 30,000 taels, this is not something that ordinary wealthy families can easily take out. Lan'er and Xu Erniang thought they had made a mistake, and counted them three times, one no more and one no less, six hundred fifty taels of silver ingots.

Lan'er's little face turned pale with fright, and she hurriedly ran to find Chen Ying.

When Chen Ying saw Chen Qi, he also felt inexplicably wonderful. When Chen Ying proposed to Li Yuan to resign, Li Yuan never paid attention to Chen Ying again, and Chen Ying was happy to be forgotten by Li Yuan. However, he didn't expect Li Yuan to order Chen Qi to come and convey the message.

When Chen Qi saw Chen Ying open his mouth to speak, he knew what he wanted to ask.

The integrity of the eunuch, a rare creature, is relatively reliable, they rely on the palace inside, there are not many opportunities to make money, and they will definitely not smash their own golden signboard, and the news of the sale is quite credible. Of course, they don't take everyone's money, for example, when Liu Wenjing was imprisoned, Liu Wenjing wrote a love letter with 10,000 words in prison, bribing with a price of thousands of beads, but he didn't dare to accept Liu Wenjing's beads.

Chen Ying smiled slightly, leading Chen Qi towards the house, just as Lan'er hurriedly came over, Chen Ying glanced at Lan'er.

Lan'er didn't prepare to scatter the silver for a while, and in a hurry, she took a silver ingot from the samurai Tong. But the small teacup couldn't fit at all. In desperation, just take a large bowl of rice.

Chen Ying was also stunned when he saw that Lan'er actually brought a large bowl covered by a plate. He was also worried that Lan'er would be stingy, so he put a bowl of copper coins in the bowl, and a bowl of copper coins would be two or three hundred yuan, which was in Chen Qi's eyes, but it was a charity. Chen Ying was worried that Lan'er would be self-defeating, so he hurriedly took it first.

Chen Ying quietly lifted the plate and saw a silver ingot weighing fifty taels, and couldn't help but feel a pain in his flesh. The tangled look on Chen Ying's face disappeared in a flash, and when Chen Ying was in front of Chen Qi, he was already smiling: "Eunuch Chen has worked hard from afar, drink more tea." ”

Chen Qi had already understood Chen Ying's methods, and drinking tea was a code for bribery, but seeing the big bowl in Chen Ying's hand and the plate on the bowl as a lid, it was a bit inexplicable.

After taking it, start heavy. The smile on Chen Qi's face became even thicker.

Chen Qi said: "General Chen, Your Majesty has summoned, but there is a good thing!" ”

Hearing this, Chen Ying felt relieved.

However, at this time, Lan'er whispered softly in Chen Ying's ear: "Wu Shi Tong sent 30,000 taels of silver!" ”

Chen Ying's eyes narrowed, he was short of money now.

If the samurai only sent his two sons to study under him, he wouldn't need so much at all. Besides, the Xiangli clan has already sent it once, but the warrior Tong sent 30,000 pieces at one time, could it be that the warrior has heard something about it, and Li Yuan is ready to agree to Li Xiuning's marriage with him?

Thinking of this, Chen Ying said to the warrior: "The martial servant is really polite, how dare Chen Ying be such a generous gift?" If Chen Ying didn't accept it, but he looked down on Wu Shilang...... he instructed Lan'er, who was standing aside, "Lan'er, you can reluctantly accept Wu Shilang's generous gift for me first." ”

Because of the origin of the samurai, there are almost no people in Chang'an who can look at the samurai tong. Yes, they are just some martial artists from poor backgrounds, but Chen Ying knows that he will not lose money if he is friends with Wu Shi Tong. There is no need to pretend that Qinggao does not associate with the martial arts, when he decided to save and accept Wu Yuanqing and Wu Yuanshuang as apprentices, he had such an idea, and of course he was disrespectful to this generous gift from Wu Shitong.

Wu Shi Tong thought that Chen Ying would shirk one or two, he was thinking about how to persuade Chen Ying to accept this gift, where did he think that Chen Ying would accept it so happily, it seemed to be waiting for him to send a gift to the door, he was slightly stunned, and only laughed after a while: "General Chen is really happy, Shi Tong likes to get acquainted with happy people......"

Chen Ying's coachman quickly put on the carriage, and Chen Ying, Wu Shi Tong, Chen Qi and his party did not eat in the Qinglin, and galloped directly towards Chang'an.

……

Chen Ying is not as hostile to eunuchs as people of this era, at least in Chen Ying's eyes, the group of eunuchs is, fundamentally speaking, a product of imperial power. A castrated man, incapacitated, in the imperial palace, was a very safe presence for the emperor.

After all, the emperor has too many women, and no matter how good the emperor's energy is, he can't take care of it.

In fact, even if the palace is full of eunuchs, it is not impossible for the women in the palace to cheat.

In the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, the famous *** Jia Nanfeng is one of them, she is the queen of Emperor Sima Zhen of Jin Hui in the Western Jin Dynasty, and the daughter of Jia Chong. Ugly and jealous, he was once authoritarian because of Emperor Hui's cowardice, and was one of the initiators of the "Eight Kings Rebellion" in the Western Jin Dynasty. Jia Nanfeng is not only ugly, but also ugly after entering the palace. First of all, he is obscene, not to mention that he is ugly, and he dislikes his husband's dementia and does not understand the amorous feelings. Jia Nanfeng, who is ugly and amorous, put on a green hat for her husband as soon as she entered the palace. It is said that she had long had sexual intercourse with officials who could freely enter and leave the palace, such as the imperial physician Ling Cheng and others. Since she was in power, she had no scruples, and wantonly searched for male pets for her lewd pleasure, which made the government and the opposition boil. She has a group of people who are looking for fit teenagers for her everywhere and secretly send them to the palace. Of course, Pan An, the most famous and beautiful man in ancient times, is also one of Jia Nanfeng's male favorites according to wild history.

In addition to Jia Nanfeng, when it comes to cuckolding the emperor, it is Jin Yueguang, the empress of the former Zhao Emperor Liu Cong, Liu Cong can't physically satisfy so many concubines in the harem, Jin Yueguang still keeps the empty bed alone, and it is inevitable to find a few beautiful young men to enter the palace to pass the loneliness. Unexpectedly, this matter was heard clearly by Chen Yuanda, who was specially involved in getting along with Liu Cong's concubine, and he collected a lot of evidence of Jin Yueguang's secret affairs and handed it to Liu Cong in the notebook. Liu Cong saw that it was Jin Yueguang's adultery, and there was a lot of evidence, so he couldn't help but be angry, so he immediately ran to the palace of the Empress Shang and scolded Jin Yueguang, and threw Chen Yuanda's music on Jin Yueguang's face for her to see for herself. Jin Yueguang carefully watched the song and was so weak that she didn't dare to argue, so she had to kneel on the ground and cry, begging Liu Cong to forgive her. Liu Cong was furious and walked away, and the next day the chamberlain came to report to Liu Cong that Jin Yueguang had committed suicide by taking poison.

In fact, relying on eunuchs alone cannot avoid cheating in the palace. As long as they want to steal, the women in the palace can always find an opportunity.

Chen Ying and Chen Qi traveled in the same car.

As soon as he got on the car, Chen Qi felt that Chen Ying's carriage was different.

Chen Ying's carriage is equipped with new bearings, which is more labor-saving, and a shock absorption system is installed, so that when walking, you can hardly feel the vibration.

Chen Qi said eagerly with his eyes: "General Chen's car is good!" ”

"Like it? If you like it, this car will be given to you! ”

"What's so embarrassing?"

"Look down on me, don't you?"

The two excused themselves, and Chen Qi accepted Chen Ying's carriage without embarrassment.

Chen Qi arched his hand and said, "So that General Chen knows that you are going to make a fortune this time!" ”

"What, get rich?" Chen Ying asked suspiciously, "How is this possible?" ”

"Earlier today, His Royal Highness King Qin entered the palace and discussed with His Majesty, it is said that a galloping road from Chang'an to Tongguan will be built!"

Chen Ying suddenly understood that throughout the ages, the most profitable thing was engineering. With such a large amount of work as 300 miles of galloping, if Chen Ying is in charge and embezzles half of the project money, he is absolutely sure that he will do a clean job, and no one can find out.

Chen Ying did not do this, and there are only a few relics left in the Qin Dynasty's Chidao in later generations, but the data records that it seems to be the end of the Ming Dynasty and the beginning of the Qing Dynasty, and some of the Qin Chidao are still in use. If Chen Ying could build a road in the Tang Dynasty, it could not only be left to future generations, but at least improve the supply capacity of the Tang army.

It is precisely because Yang Guang repaired the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, so in the Tang Dynasty, although the three expeditions to Goguryeo also failed, but because of the supply of the Grand Canal, the Tang Dynasty was injured but not damaged in this battlefield.

However, for the northwest and northern inland areas, due to the scarcity of water resources, water transport cannot be navigated, and inefficient land transport can only be relied upon. Whether it was a war against the Western Turks, or a war against Gaochang and Qiuci, the Tang Dynasty could only rely on the combat effectiveness of the Tang army to make up for the numerical inferiority.

If the number is small, the enemy will not be afraid psychologically, and if he leads 100,000 and 200,000 Tang troops to the west, I am afraid that the process of the westward expedition will be extremely smooth.

If the supply can keep up, Datang probably will not only occupy the eastern shore of the Caspian Sea, but also turn the Caspian Sea into an inland lake for Datang.
