Chapter 107 Thief and Superior King
Chapter 107 Thief and Superior King
For some reason, Cao Xi wanted to get angry whenever he saw Tie Xinyuan's smiling face, and the reason for his anger had nothing to do with what Tie Xinyuan said. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
He looked at Tie Xinyuan as if he saw an ordinary Guozi prison student, and there were at least twenty such prisoners in his Hedong Jiedu Envoy Yamen.
These people don't have a high status, but when they look at military generals, their eyes always look down from both ends of their nostrils, and they may be better when they see Cao Xi, but the contempt that leaks out of his bones still makes him intolerable.
Er Cao Xiaoyi, if you want to kill one or two simple chickens according to Cao Xi's official position, but there are more than 20 chicks like this, but the dignified Hedong Jiedu envoy can't help them.
Simple punishment is fine, but once it rises to the level of death, there are always countless ill-intentioned people who want to ask about it.
After asking for it, the result is that it is not enough......
When those plague students leave, they will be even more arrogant, as if they have done something terrible.
It was no secret that low-level scribes were generally promoted after injuring high-ranking military attachΓ©s.
After this situation continues for a long time, no one cares about the generals, and now, the Hedong Jiedu envoy Yamen wants to hold one or two poetry meetings, and there are only a few poor scholars who come, even if they are poor scholars, after they casually compose one or two nonsense poems, they will take the bonus, wipe a handful of oily mouths, and leave.
"Rich families don't need to buy fertile land, there are thousands of millets in the book.
There is no need to raise a hall to live in peace, and there is a golden house in the book.
Don't hate to go out with no one, there are many cars and horses in the book.
Don't hate unscrupulous matchmakers when marrying a wife, there is Yan Ruyu in the book.
If a boy follows his life's aspirations, he reads the Six Classics to the window. β
This is the imperial system of the first emperor "Persuasion Poems".
"The Donghuamen roll call is a hero!"
This is Han Qi's deafening roar after he killed the fierce general in the army because of a trivial matter!
Tie Xinyuan looked at Cao Xi, who was speechless, with a smile and said: "The ancestor of Jiangmen is a hero, and I heard that the tiger father has no dogs, and the general is full of heroes, but now he is trapped in a small number of officials, which is really funny." β
Cao Xi's face changed several times, and he knew through his intuition that the seemingly harmless young man in front of him was not as harmless as he looked.
Therefore, he wanted to hear what the man had to say.
"It is an indisputable fact that the national policy is naturally controlled by the literati, and it may be difficult for the general to find one or two staff members with brains.
Therefore, whenever the literati put forward one or two specious national policies, the military ministers had no right to speak because they were not familiar with them.
For a long time, Wuchen basically had no right to speak. β
Cao Xi said in a deep voice: "This is my own business, don't worry about the king of Khotan, I have to pass on Ouyang Xiu's book, there are thieves in the Western Regions who want to sell 3,000 horses, and the old man's money has been prepared, but I don't know where the old man's war horse is?" β
Tie Xinyuan casually pointed to the shepherd slaves who came in and out of the courtyard and said: "There are five hundred light-mouthed war horses here, plus four hundred and eighty-one skilled herdsmen, and more than three thousand stallions, which are now temporarily stored in the Yin place of Jingzhao Mansion.
If you have a heart, you can deliver it now! β
"You're a cloud?" Cao Xi was very surprised, the weak young man in front of him was actually a thief in the Western Regions, which made him extremely surprised.
"The people of the Western Regions are bandits, and bandits are also people, and the kings of large and small countries are not born as bandits.
I pay attention to learning and excellence, and the excellence is learning, the Western Regions pay attention to thieves and excellent kings, and the king is declining and thieves, the two exchange with each other, change, wonderful, a few years ago, I was thrown out of the royal city in Khotan and fell into the wasteland.
The armor is incomplete, the food and clothing are not good, and the young son is waiting to be laid. The elders cried out in the wilderness.
As a last resort, Wei Chiwen personally led his guards to plunder the Persian merchants in the Tianshan Mountains, and the results were very fruitful!
Wei Chiwen suddenly understood a truth at that time, that is, no matter how big the gift is, it is not as important as the belly, the most important thing is not as important as the warm clothes.
The reason why Cao Gong can still sit in front of this king and despise the bandits in a high posture is because Cao Gong does not have the worry of starvation, let alone freezing to death.
If Cao Gong is placed in the situation of this king at that time, I am afraid that he will also grab it.
In this way, does Cao Gong still question why this king has fallen into a thief? β
Cao Xi nodded and said: "At this time and that time, are you going to spend the day in Khotan?" β
Tie Xinyuan shook his head and said: "Looting can only solve my temporary worries, it is indeed not the way to build a country, therefore, a cloud will soon disappear in this world, and it will be replaced by Hami, Qingxiang Country." β
"What is the Fragrance Country?"
"There is only one fragrance everywhere, and that is my fragrant country!
If this king can ask the princess to return to the west, Cao Gong might as well send an envoy to the land of the Western Regions and see it with his own eyes, which is better than the understanding of this king here with empty mouths and white teeth. β
Gossip is gossip, what should be done Tie Xinyuan still has to do, took out the document of receiving wild horses from the loess ridge zhizhai from the lacquer box and handed it to Cao Xi.
Lao Cao handed it over to the accompanying staff, checked the seal, and after the official seal was correct, he ordered someone to receive the herdsmen and war horses here.
Tie Xinyuan and Lao Cao were still sitting in the hall chatting, watching the snow outside the window turn into muddy water, and the staff came in with Meng Yuanzhi, and the report was delivered.
"Fifty thousand!"
Cao Xi set the price to death in one sentence, and it seemed that there was no room for maneuver.
Tie Xinyuan didn't care much about the price, he hoped that through Lao Cao, the name of his Qingxiang Country could reach the ears of the emperor and the empress.
The shepherd slaves sent this time are Khitan, and the war horses sent are still Khitan, and whose property is the Xijing Ranch is, presumably it is clear from the Great Song Dynasty.
Yelu Chongyuan's rebellion, the conspirators on the side of the Great Song Dynasty had already been very sure when he was named the emperor's younger brother.
If Da Song wants to benefit from this, he must have a reliable intermediary, and Tie Xinyuan feels that he is very suitable.
At least Ouyang Xiu already knew clearly that the thief had already surrendered to Yelu Chongyuan's door.
A cloud is just a bait, and the Hami Qingxiang Country is the thing on the surface, whether it is a cloud or the Qingxiang Country, it is just Tie Xinyuan increasing his weight, so as to achieve the goal of marrying Wanwan.
Fly Money!
Lao Cao paid out flying money, this thing is very good, it is the most powerful business in the Great Song Dynasty can only issue something, the credit is very hard, then to Tokyo or Shuzhong, Yangzhou, can be easily exchanged, there is only one shortcoming, that is, it can't be used in the Western Regions.
This way of paying is very chicken thieves, and the Hedong Jiedu makes it seem that there are still smart people in the yamen.
Paying the flying money has one of the biggest advantages for Lao Cao, that is, he can supervise the whereabouts of the money, and if Tie Xinyuan wants to plot against him, he can immediately turn the flying money into a pile of waste paper.
Sooner or later, this money will have to be spent in Tokyo, and Tie Xinyuan treats this thing as a check for the future generations, and he is not used to it.
After the matter was done, Cao Xi took his staff to leave, and when he was about to go out, Tie Xinyuan said with a smile: "If Cao Gong wants to find out the shortcomings of the opponents in the DPRK and China, you might as well look for the Khitan people and the Western Xia people's Tiao Chen, I believe that there must be news in those Tiao Chen that can help Cao Gong." β
Cao Xi brushed his sleeves and left!
Because he was angry, he didn't seem to notice that in addition to those shepherd slaves running around, there were only two people left in Tie Xinyuan's yard, Tie Xinyuan and Meng Yuanzhi, and even Ga Ga and Yu Chiwen didn't know where to go.
After sending Lao Cao away, Tie Xinyuan began to change his clothes, seeing that the sky was about to darken, if he didn't run away at this time, it would be very troublesome when Lao Cao reacted.
If this guy insisted on inviting himself to Tokyo to meet the emperor, Tie Xinyuan didn't dare to imagine how Zhao Zhen would be angry when he saw him.
It's not enough to kill the head, but it is certain to be taken to Bao Zheng to suffer, and when he feels that he can't stand it, the emperor will come down again and bring himself up from hell, this kind of trick that will send you to hell first, and then get you to the Nine Heavens, they are very skillful.
The most terrible thing is that at that time, the emperor will be comfortable thinking that Hami is the land of the Great Song Dynasty, and everyone can sit down and renegotiate the possibility of placing Hami under the jurisdiction of the Great Song Dynasty......
After all, an enclave is also a frontier!
Huff!
In fact, it was only Cao Xi himself who was unhappy, Tie Xinyuan was in a good mood, and Meng Yuanzhi was also very happy.
Especially when they saw a stack of flying money, the mood of the two became better, after this trip, they had no money, if there was no flying money sent by Lao Cao, their remaining money would not even be enough for them to arrive in Tokyo.
In fact, Lao Cao couldn't say that he was unhappy, but he just calmly made a deal with Chi Wen, the king of Khotan.
Taiyuan is the capital of the north, and the bulk of goods have long been traded by flying money.
Lao Cao is a very particular person, and after taking away those panicked herdsmen and war horses, Tie Xinyuan got the money.
50,000 yuan to buy 500 war horses, more than 400 herdsmen, plus more than 3,000 wild horses on the books, overall, Lao Cao's business is very profitable.
The five hundred war horses were all good war horses, and the oldest was only eight years old, and the shepherd slaves, the worst, had also worked in the Khitan pastures for at least six years, and they were all skilled.
For some reason, Cao Xi always felt unhappy.
In his heart, he wrote a letter overnight and sent it to Bianliang City, Tokyo, day and night.
At dawn the next day, when he wanted to find Tie Xinyuan to confirm the matter of the racecourse, he found that the Khotanese people in the inn had disappeared.
The six secret posts responsible for guarding the Khotanese were tied up by the people and thrown in the firewood room of the inn. (To be continued.) )
