Chapter 170: Tahini and Brown Sugar
Wei Xianggong was attacked by an unknown object, and the dignified prime minister was beaten by a group of rebels, how is it unusual!
The soldiers scattered in fright, but Wei Renpu's retinue protected him and returned to his lodgings in disarray. His subordinates hurriedly prepared water and washed Wei Renpu, and some people hurriedly shouted to ask a doctor to check Wei Xianggong's body, for fear that he would be injured.
Lao Wei waved his hand lazily, "Forget it, I'll reward you for this little thing!" ”
Wei Renpu scraped off the things on his face with his hands, put them in the tea tray, and motioned for a few entourages to eat.
These people are stupid, black, slimy, can you eat such disgusting things?
Wei Xianggong, aren't you mad?
Seeing that they refused to do anything, Lao Wei grabbed a piece by himself, threw it in his mouth, and tasted it.
It's so sweet!
What do you put so much brown sugar for?
Don't you know that older people can't eat sugar?
The people below were happy to see Wei Xianggong eating, and out of curiosity, they came closer, dipped their fingers in them, and sent them to their mouths, and instantly a sweet fragrance melted in their mouths!
They were moved to cry, it was sweeter than the stove candy they ate during the New Year!
What is this made of?
The first kid who tried the crab reached out and grabbed it, kept stuffing it into his mouth, and the rest of the few also came over, and when they saw that they could indeed eat, they couldn't help swallowing it in a big gulp, and their cheeks bulged like hamsters.
When they even licked the plate clean, they noticed Wei Renpu's face again, it seemed that there was still a little left, and these guys actually reached out to grab it!
Old Wei slapped the table angrily.
"Bastard, kick your nose in the face! Don't get ready to go with the bathwater yet! ”
The next person turned his head and ran out, but his mouth was still sweet and good.
I don't know when someone will throw Wei Xianggong, we can't miss it!
By the way, there seems to be a robe on top of Wei Xianggong's robe, look for it for a while, scrape it off, hide it, and eat it when no one is around!
What is it that makes them so memorable?
It's just a little tahini, mixed with brown sugar and honey, sticky and thin, and when you fall on your face, the effect is similar to that of poop. And outsiders think so too.
For example, the soldiers who attacked Wei Renpu were arrested and put into a prison to prepare for punishment.
A group of generals who strongly opposed the peace, including the champion Hou Yehua, were called by Guo Wei and scolded. Wei Xianggong went on for three days, saying that he was not sick.
In the end, it was Guo Wei who went to visit in person, and Wei Renpu reluctantly came out to see the matter.
His first request was to grant full power, let him be a messenger, and be responsible for the peace minister with the Southern Tang Dynasty, and get up there where he fell.
Wei Renpu came to the axis, of course Guo Wei would not refuse, His Majesty the Emperor even released a rumor, Wei Xianggong was loyal, he was all for the good of the court, who dared to cause chaos to Wei Xianggong, and immediately punished the crime.
suppressed the arrogant soldiers, Wei Renpu took the time to call Xu Xuan over.
When he was attacked that day, Xu Xuan was standing in the door of the pavilion, unable to come out, there were still two or three zhang away from Wei Renpu, and he was reading and reading badly, so he couldn't see clearly at all.
I thought Wei Renpu had taken a poop!
Xu Xuan couldn't help but speak, they are all fierce generals of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and they are really worthy of their reputation!
"Wei Xianggong has been wronged, the old decay represents the people of Jiangnan, thank you Mr. Gaoyi!" Saying that, Xu Xuan was respectful, bowing to Wei Renpu again and again, and the respect was beyond words.
Wei Renpu sighed, "Master Xu, I made you smile." Lao Wei's face sank, "Your Majesty issued a decree to let the prime minister be responsible for negotiating peace, and we should finalize the conditions as soon as possible, otherwise someone will make trouble again." ”
Xu Xuan's facial features twitched, as if a dog ignored the buns, and opened his mouth for a long time, "Let's talk, let's talk!" ”
……
In three days, Wei Renpu and Xu Xuan confirmed the peace agreement between the two sides.
The Southern Tang ceded Chuzhou, Haizhou, and Taizhou to the Great Zhou, who promised that the garrison in the three places would not exceed 10,000 people.
The Southern Tang Dynasty compensated the Great Zhou military expenses of 1 million taels of silver and 1 million horses of silk.
The Southern Tang Dynasty dispatched people to run through the Grand Canal, and both sides jointly sent officials to manage trade matters. The Great Zhou Dynasty set up a city in Chuzhou, which was specifically responsible for trade with Jiangnan, and the two sides allowed merchants to come and go freely without obstructing the passage of goods...... In total, Wei Renpu and Xu Xuan entered into 11 peace agreements.
"Mr. Xu, these 11 articles are promised by the old man desperately, and I don't know how many people will scold me! Especially the champion Hou Yehua, he will definitely find trouble for me...... All in all, the old man hopes that you will agree as soon as possible, if you delay any longer, the war will be endless, and it will not be a blessing for the people! ”
After Wei Renpu finished speaking, he sighed, looking exhausted, hunched his back, and the whole person looked much older, which made people really distressed.
Xu Xuan looked at Wei Renpu and then at the text of the peace conference...... He didn't know what to say, should he thank Lao Wei for his dedication, or should he resent Da Zhou's ferocity?
I don't understand, I don't understand!
Xu Xuan returned to Jiangnan with a belly of question marks to resume his life.
As for Wei Renpu, when he came back from Xu Xuan, everyone found that Wei Xianggong's waist was getting straighter and straighter, his chest was getting higher and higher, the gloom on his face was gone, and he was full of energy as if he had married a new daughter-in-law and was about to become a groom, and the smile lines on his face were all grinning.
In the end, I couldn't help but laugh.
The big guys thought that Wei Renpu had some nerves, and it was easy to return to the residence, Ye Hua smiled and waited in the study. He smiled and bowed and stood up, "Wei Xianggong should be strong and strong, one top two, and he will be victorious, amazing!" ”
Wei Renpu smiled when he saw everyone, but when he saw Ye Hua, he blew his beard and glared.
You kid is too unkind, the old man originally asked you to be a villain, but you are good, you fell out with Xu Xuan, threw the pot to the old man, and let the old man be scolded and beaten, you kid, you are too disrespectful to the old and love the young!
Ye Hua gave Wei Renpu a big white eye, you old goods, you have a bad heart, if I am led by your nose, I will not be sold?
"Wei Xianggong, in fact, I'm doing it for your good!"
Seeing that Lao Wei was indifferent, Ye Hua continued: "Do you think, right now you are the representative of the dove, whatever you want to do in the Southern Tang Dynasty in the future, you will go through Wei Xianggong's door, and when the time comes, you will send money, baby, and beauty, what a good day you Wei Xianggong wants!" ”
"What do I want those things for?" Old Wei slapped the table, about to break the table apart, and pointed at Ye Hua's nose, "Now the army says that Wei Renpu is a soft bone and a waste, and the results of the battle that are easy to fight have ruined all the old man, with traitors like the old man, why are the soldiers still working hard to fight?" Look, look, what did they say about the old man? ”
Ye Hua is very happy, you old man deserves to be scolded!
"That Wei Xianggong, you are a civil official, civil and military, what are you afraid of being scolded! Your Majesty knows you, and I know it, so don't worry, bear the burden for the time being. When we manage the canal well, millions of dollars will be sent to the treasury every year, and when the time comes, you Wei Xianggong will definitely be able to surpass Fan Zhen and Wang Pu, and the big seal of the political hall will be in your hands sooner or later, even if it is compensation! ”
Wei Xianggong is not greedy for money, not lustful, scheming, has bad ideas, and is a difficult person to deal with. But he also has a handle, that is, the ranking of the political affairs hall.
is obviously the minister who makes the decision, the master of the Son of Heaven, just because of his shallow qualifications, he has not taken the Jinshi examination, nor has he been a big official in the court, and he is not familiar with the rules and regulations, so he was placed in the position of the three phases.
Wei Renpu is really unwilling!
But what if you are not reconciled? Fan is good at laws and regulations, and Wang Pu is good at literature, and these two formulated a series of regulations that quickly put Da Zhou on the right track.
Even Li Gu, the third envoy, is good at managing money and is regarded as Guo Wei's right-hand man.
What will you Wei Renpu do? It's just a trick and trick, your set is useful for fighting the world, but it still depends on us to rule the world!
Wei Renpu was angry, and there was no place to sow.
Ye Hua smiled and said bewilderedly: "Wei Xianggong, it's nothing, as long as Huainan and the canal are managed well, with these two, it will not be a problem to increase the imperial court's revenue by 20 million!" ”
Wei Renpu frowned, "Ye Hua, the annual income of the imperial court in front of me is only more than 10 million, of which 7 million stones are grain, and your mouth is two treasury, isn't it too arrogant?" ”
"Hahaha, Wei Xianggong, you are really unbusiness-minded, and your sense of wealth is too poor, too bad!" Ye Hua gave Wei Renpu an analysis.
Haizhou, Yancheng, Taizhou and other places are assigned to the Great Zhou, these are coastal treasures, and millions of stone salt can be used every year.
"I have a method of drying salt, without iron pots and firewood, which can increase the production of tens of millions of stone of fine salt every year. How much profit does this salt bring in each year? And pinching the salt in your hand is equivalent to holding the lifeblood of the Southern Tang Dynasty in your hand, do you say this reason? ”
"There is also a canal, Fan Xianggong dredged the Bianshui, as long as the Southern Tang Dynasty opened the canal, the merchant ships of the Central Plains could go straight to the two Huai, into the Yangtze River, Wu Yue, Southern Han, Jing Chu, Da Zhou and these communication merchants, exchange with each other, how much money can they make? I dare to say that as long as it can be used well, within three years, the Central Plains will be able to recover its vitality, and I have the ability to gather hundreds of thousands of troops to sweep the world and dominate the universe! ”
"Wei Xianggong single-handedly contributed to this matter, the merit is in the present generation, the benefit is in the future, the princes in the court, who else dares to disrespect Wei Xianggong, who dares to say that Wei Xianggong does not know how to govern the country......"
"Don't say it, don't say it!"
Wei Renpu's old face turned red, there is no one in this world who can't be fooled, only a big fool who doesn't work hard...... No, after Ye Hua tried countless times, he finally found Wei Renpu's pulse, and the old guy had already unknowingly followed Ye Hua's way.
"Champion Hou, if it is true, the old man will admit it when he is scolded."
Ye Hua grinned, "It's not that simple!" ”
"What do you mean?" Wei Renpu was furious, you kid dare to lie to me?
"It's this kind of trade, it's also good for Nantang, if Nantang earns more than us, then we have a loss, so we have to find a way."
"Got it!"
"It is how to disintegrate, divide, and divide the monarchs and ministers of the Southern Tang Dynasty, so that the profits of trade cannot be transformed into combat effectiveness." Ye Hua said: "This thing is not very easy to do, Wei Xianggong, do you have a way?" ”
Wei Renpu suddenly laughed, "This matter is as easy as a snap, the solution is ready-made!" ”
