Chapter 801 Each has its own mind

People are under the eaves and have to bow their heads.

This sentence is the true portrayal of Qu Yifu and Chu Yi. Think of one of them as an assistant to a nation, under one person, above ten thousand, and everywhere they pass, all the people admire; One is a general of a country, with thousands of soldiers and horses in his hands, and the blade is invincible.

But now, the two have to stand obediently at the border and wait for a small steward of Liufu, this kind of gap is not big, to say that the two of them have no idea in their hearts, and they don't feel a little aggrieved, that is definitely a fool of the stupid boy.

But even if they have thoughts in their hearts, what can they do if they feel aggrieved? Who put them at a disadvantage now, and who put them on the passive or even eager side now?

The fact that they could easily exchange the huge amount of money in the hands of the Liu Mansion Steward for the huge amount of money in the hands of the Liu Mansion Steward was the only thing that made them feel a little relieved, especially when the day's trading was over, and when they returned to the camp with a large amount of silver money they had received from the Liu Clan, this relief instantly turned into a great satisfaction.

In their eyes, this huge amount of money is not just as simple as money, it is also a lot of political achievements and merits, so even if there is a little unwillingness, a little grievance, the two will still arrive on time every day, which fully proves that they are full of sincerity, but also they really do not want this low-hanging fruit and achievements to fall into the hands of others.

"This Liu Bing really thinks of himself as an uncle, why hasn't he come here yet?" Chu Yi waited a little anxiously, looked at the tent where no one had come out on the other side, and couldn't help but complain.

"There must be something to delay, after all, it is such a big business, there must be a lot of affairs to be busy, the virtuous nephew should not be bored, just wait a little longer." Although Qu Yifu was impatient in his heart, his face was still calm, and he couldn't help but comfort him when he heard Chu Yi's complaints.

"Prime Minister Qu is right, it's the kid who is a little anxious." Qu Yifu spoke, Chu Yi couldn't ignore it, in fact, Chu Yi's words were somewhat tempting the meaning of this old man, seeing that the old man was quite calm, and there was no sign of being angry and corrupt, he couldn't help but relax a little.

"In the future, their Liu clan still wants to do business in Gaochang," Chu Yi whispered beside Qu Yifu, "Now that they are so snub to me, aren't they afraid that there will be trouble then?" ”

"What are they afraid of?" Qu Yifu said disapprovingly: "You also said before, their owner must have seen that Gao and Tang will have a war in the near future, the war is together, the horses are chaotic, there are dangers everywhere, no one knows when it will end, yes, they will not take any more adventures in Gaochang in a short time." ”

"Besides," Qu Yifu said, "Even if there is no war, Your Majesty will not allow anyone to trouble the Liu family, after all, this white stack is a specialty of my Gaochang, this time, there will be no more trouble for their Liu family in the coming year, and the ten-year contract that Liu Yiyi let you bring back will always be the best talisman for their Liu family in Gaochang." ”

"Therefore, the old man hopes that Chu Jiang will be able to endure it, even if he is angry in his heart, he will never show it," Turning his head to look at Chu Yi, Qu Yifu warned Chu Yi softly and sternly: "Otherwise, if you take them away, I Gaochang's remaining tens of millions of catties of white stacks can't be made, and it will inevitably affect my Gaochang's future war afterwards, whether it's the old man or General Chu, they can't afford it." ”

"The prime minister's words, the last general has written them down." I didn't expect the old man to see it so far-reaching and thorough, Chu Yi gave up his hand and answered, and then stood aside and said no more.

With a casual move, he can make their Majesty, so that Old Man Qu is so jealous, this Liu Yi is really not an ordinary tricky, Chu Yi couldn't help but feel happy in his heart, glad that he chose to cooperate with Liu Yi when he was in Chang'an, otherwise let alone be able to come back safely, he was afraid that he would not even know how he died.

"It's out." Seeing Liu Bing coming out of the tent, Qu Yifu straightened up and reminded Chu Yi softly.

"I slept last night, and I haven't been awake," approaching the border, Liu Bing smiled and pleaded guilty to the two: "It's really a sin to let Prime Minister Qu and General Chu wait here for a long time."

"It's because I waited too early and disturbed Steward Liu's sleep." Qu Yifu can bend and stretch, in a word, while excusing Liu Bing, he also eliminated the embarrassment of waiting at the border for a long time.

"The prime minister's words really make the kid ashamed." After a few more polite words, Liu Bing looked up at the two of them, and said, "I don't know how many goods did the two adults bring over today?" ”

"It's the same as the previous times," Chu Yi replied in a rough voice: "Two million catties in the morning and two million catties in the afternoon, I wonder if your business can still eat it?" ”

"Hehe, General Chu laughed," Seeing that Chu Yi seemed to be intent on temptation, Liu Bing laughed softly disappreciatively: "Since our young master signed the contract for unlimited purchases, then my business association will definitely fulfill the promise, or that sentence, as long as you have the goods, we will have enough money to pay." ”

"Besides, the first few transactions, didn't we settle them all on the same day, and the money and goods were both settled?" Liu Bing looked up at Chu Yi and asked, "Could it be that until now, General Chu still has some doubts about the ability of my Liu Clan's Business Association?" ”

"Don't worry about Steward Liu," Qu Yifu, who glared at Chu Yi on the surface, and got a positive answer, was overjoyed, and hurriedly came out of the round, and the old man smiled and said: "There is no doubt about the ability of the Guibao, we are convinced of it, and General Chu is speechless, and Steward Liu is not to blame." ”

"I know what the two of you are worried about," knowing what tricks the two were playing, Liu Bing glanced up at the two of them, and said in a sonorous voice: "I, Liu's businessman, have always been honest, and I will do what I say and do what I say, and I will never give up halfway." So don't worry, the two adults don't have to worry, until we have purchased all the inventory in your country, our Liu Business Association will never leave halfway. ”

Liu Bing's words can be regarded as giving the two of them a guarantee, in fact, not only Qu Yifu and Chu Yi are worried and afraid, but Liu Bing and their side are not compensated?

Before the Tang Dynasty did not cultivate suitable white stacks, Gaochang would always be the only supply of goods for their business association, and while Qu Yifu and the others were worried that the Liu family would not have the money to buy too many white stacks, the Liu family was also worried that Gaochang would suddenly run out of stock.

That's why Liu Yiyi wrote the condition of unlimited quantity on the contract, the purpose of which was to organize enough of their inventory into his warehouse in the shortest possible time, before Gao Chang realized the importance of Bai Diezi.

"This is instant pastry?"

In the Liu Mansion, Liu Yiyi spared no effort to sell Li Ji the new instant noodles in their house, dry and hot, and showed Li Jidian the same taste.

"The taste is good, and the way to eat it is also very novel, but," after eating, Li Ji commented softly: "It is not suitable to eat a large amount in the army." ”

"Why is that?" Seeing that Liu Yiyi and Luo Tong didn't speak, Fang Yiai asked in a somewhat puzzled voice: "The little nephew thinks that this kind of pastry is delicious, and it can be eaten without cooking for a long time, and it can save a lot of cooking time for marching, why shouldn't it be eaten in large quantities in the army?" ”

Before Fang Yiai became a colt, he had been in the army for a while, and he also had some understanding of things in the army, so he was even more puzzled, why is the advantage of instant noodles so obvious, but Li Ji will talk about it like this?

"Che" glanced at Fang Yiai disdainfully, and Gongsun Helan shot back unceremoniously: "A little white face who has never even been on the battlefield, what qualifications does he have to comment on military affairs?" Since Uncle Li said that it is not suitable for a large amount of food, he naturally has the truth of his old man, how can you get a junior to make a big pout here? ”

"Gongsun Helan" Fang Yiai was stimulated to the point that his face was flushed, if it weren't for Li Ji's presence, and he knew that he was not Gongsun Helan's opponent, I am afraid that he would have turned his face and fought with him a long time ago.

"Even if it's a delicious venison, it's boring to eat too much, let alone this deep-fried pastry?" Li Ji stopped the confrontation between the two, especially glanced at Fang Yiai, and explained lightly: "Therefore, it is indeed good to prepare more of this kind of noodles when marching in a hurry, or when guarding the city, but if you want to popularize it among all the government troops, it is not realistic at all, and it will not work." ”

"The two virtuous nephews have been speechless," Li Ji looked at Liu Yiyi and Luo Tong, and asked softly, "But you have already seen the pros and cons here?" ”

"Uncle is discerning," seeing Luo Tong signaling himself to reply, Liu Yiyi replied loudly: "Instant noodles are different from grains, and eating too much will indeed make people feel greasy, so as my uncle said, it cannot be popularized in the army." ”

"However, the reason why the little nephew thought of making this kind of pastry in the first place was not just to supply military supplies and replace daily military rations," Liu Yiyi said: "The little nephew's idea is very simple, just to provide some convenience for a group of people who are in a hurry, have no time to cook, or urgently need ready-to-eat supplies." ”

"That's why this kind of pastry is named 'instant pastry'," Liu Yiyi said: "Yes, I never thought that it could replace military rations and popularize it in the army." ”

"Well, although it can't be popularized, it can't deny its role in the army," Seeing that Liu Yiyi was very self-aware and not carried away by the immediate interests, Li Ji nodded and said: "When I return to the court tomorrow, I will make a proposal to the emperor for my uncle, and I am willing to ask the emperor to make more reserves in the army in case of emergency." ”

"Uncle Lao bothered," Liu Yiyi thanked him, and did not mention what he had agreed with Li Shimin.

First, he was afraid that he would sweep Li Ji's face and give Li Ji the impression of showing off or not knowing how to lift; The second is that having Li Ji, a heavyweight general, mention it again, which is more conducive to deepening Li Shimin's impression of instant noodles, and is also more conducive to the sales and sales of the Tang Army
