Chapter 220: Wrap Up on Me
Liu Bao's eyes were fixed on a large sand table in front of him.
The sand table occupies almost one-third of the territory in the house, and the vivid shape completely replicates the topography of Feng County and from Feng County to here, and Liu Bao can recognize some areas at a glance, which are the places he has walked in the past few days. What really shocked Liu Bao was the model of the city rising from the ground on a plateau in the sand table.
The city was built on this only plateau flat land, surrounded by steep mountains and rivers, even if Liu Bao was not an expert in military affairs, but with intuition, he could see at a glance that if this city was really built, as long as there were enough troops, it would be almost impossible to break through here. No large siege machine could get close to the city, but instead, they could use whatever attack weapon they wanted inside the city.
"Is this what they call the future Taiping City?" Liu Bao muttered, reaching out and gently stroking the delicate city model. At the moment, all he saw was a large forest and cleared clearing, which was still in ruins, but anyone who saw the model would be attracted by its wonderful prospects.
He took a deep breath and stepped aside and sat down. He was brought here to interview the big leader here, but he didn't expect that the other party didn't care about letting him see such a confidential thing, in Liu Bao's opinion, this should indeed be a confidential thing, either the other party didn't have this awareness, or the other party didn't care about letting himself know at all.
The eldest young master is very good, he has not been abused, and the injuries on his body are almost healed, but the other party's method of sealing the true power of the eldest young master's whole body is extremely ingenious, even if he can't untie it for the eldest young master, the other people who are locked up are also the same, except that they have no personal freedom, they are still living a nourishing life.
Lu Feng was right, these people were not like bandits, but more like a disciplined army. During this day, Liu Bao met a lot of people on the mountain, most of whom had obvious military characteristics.
There were footsteps and laughter outside the house, one of them was Wang Hou, Liu Bao immediately stood up, faced the door, reached out and stroked the folds on his clothes, and straightened his hair crown, he has been a housekeeper in Mrs. Liu's house for many years, which has made him develop good etiquette habits.
A tall figure appeared at the door, and what surprised Liu Bao was that the one who appeared in front of him was red and purple on his face, and he was actually scarred.
"Steward Liu?" The young figure stopped at the door, looked at Liu Bao, and asked with a smile.
Wang Hou took a step forward and said, "Steward Liu, this is our great leader of Yanshan, General Qin Feng Qin!" ”
Liu Bao came to his senses at this time, clasped his fists with both hands, and slammed it to the ground: "Hello General Qin, Old Lady Liu asked the villain to ask the general how he is good, and expressed his gratitude to the general for treating my eldest son well." ”
Qin Feng smiled and nodded, stretched out his hand to help Liu Bao, before coming, Wang Hou and Zou Ming had already introduced to him in detail about this Liu family's big butler, an eighth-level peak master, he was actually committed to the Liu family as a slave, a villain, which made Qin Feng full of curiosity about the old man Liu who was far away in Shayang.
"If you ask for something, you naturally have to be courteous." Qin Feng said straightforwardly. "Steward Liu, please take a seat, you and I are both martial artists, so you don't have to go around in circles, let's get straight to the point, do you agree to our request?"
Liu Bao turned around, looked at Qin Feng who was sitting on the main seat with the Great Malaysia Golden Knife, and nodded with a smile: "Of course, we will do everything according to General Qin's request." In fact, the first batch of grain should be on the way now, as for the silver ....... you proposed, General" Liu Bao paused, reached into his arms, and when he stretched it out, he already had a flat box in his hand, opened it, and gently placed it on the small table beside Qin Feng, "I have already brought the silver ticket." Of course, if you prefer the actual silver of the white flowers, we can also ship it. ”
Picking up the box on the table and flipping through these huge silver tickets, Qin Feng was a little surprised. "I didn't expect Mrs. Liu to be so refreshing."
"The old lady has always been cheerful in doing things, and never procrastinates." Liu Bao said with a smile: "When I came, the old lady said that I was willing to raise the price by three percent on the basis of General Qin's offer." ”
"Oh, what's that saying?" Qin Feng was quite surprised, he had never had to ask for a price and pay back the money on the spot, but he didn't expect that there were still family members of meat tickets who took the initiative to ask for a price increase.
"The price code offered by the general is all aimed at my Shayang County generals, it seems that the general still has a deep understanding of our Shayang, this time I went to Taiping City, saw the situation here, and thought about those ordinary soldiers, the general has no intention of releasing them!" Liu Bao asked.
"Yes, I need a lot of manpower here, and Steward Liu has also seen it." Qin Feng pointed to the model of the city in the middle of the house, "Although this city is not big, but if it is really to be built, I am afraid that it will take several years, in addition to money and food, naturally there must be manpower, these young and strong are good, just change my urgent need." ”
"The old lady increased the price by 30%, just so that the general could release these soldiers together." Liu Baodao.
"It can't be." Qin Feng flatly refused.
Liu Bao pondered for a moment, looked at Qin Feng and said: "General Qin, looking at your style, naturally you don't want to be a mountain king on the mountain all the time, if you want to come to the general's heart, you must have a strong ambition, if that's the case, then you need more, stronger friends, don't you?" If you can meet this request of the old lady this time, then you have gained the friendship of the old lady. I think this will be of great benefit to the general's future development. ”
Qin Feng's eyes flashed, and he looked at Liu Bao thoughtfully: "Steward Liu, is it possible that Old Lady Liu is now in a sad situation?" These soldiers and horses may become the last straw that crushes him? ”
"It's not that serious, but well, for the old lady, if these county soldiers can go back safely, things will be easier to do."
"I wonder if the housekeeper can tell Qin in detail? It's also good for Qin to judge whether he wants to be good friends with Old Lady Liu! Qin Feng smiled.
"It's no secret." Liu Baodao: "Our Shayang County has always been decided by the old lady, and behind the old lady, there is naturally a backer, of course, our Liu family, and this backer is more to help each other, now, Zhang Zuoxiang came to power, want to take Shayang into his hands, first, he can strengthen his own strength, second, he can also hit his opponent in the court, our old lady does not want to change the court, because Zhang Zuoxiang is now gaining power, too arrogant, if the Liu family throws in the past, it is difficult to ensure his independence, I'm afraid that I will really become a slave of the Zhang family. Originally, this matter was nothing to the Liu family, but if this happened, it would be easy for Zhang Zuoxiang to catch the truth. Thousands of county soldiers were wiped out, for Zhang Zuoxiang, who was in charge of national political affairs and commanded both the army and the people, it can be said that it was righteous and strict to attack our Liu family, at least our eldest son would have to be imprisoned. So we need this army to be glorious and triumphant. ”
"I see, glorious and triumphant, naturally we have to cooperate well, and from now on An Sheng will no longer make trouble, right? Otherwise, it is easy to expose the filling? Qin Feng smiled.
"The general is even smarter!" Liu Bao said with a smile: "That's what the old lady means, as long as General Qin can respond to this matter, then Fengxian will belong to General Liu in the future, and your army will also be able to get a fixed amount of grain, grass and silver from Old Lady Liu in the future." ”
"The old lady is so generous!" Qin Feng laughed, "Paying some money and food, not only firmly grasped the control of Shayang County, but also made us his thugs, this abacus is really loud." ”
"It's also good for both sides!" Liu Bao smiled and said: "Cooperation is mutually beneficial, General Qin needs money and food, and land, which is nothing for our Liu family." ”
"Can Mrs. Liu be the master? Give me Feng County? Qin Feng made a statement of disbelief.
"Shayang County Shou, in front of the old lady, I am afraid that his status is not as high as Liu." Liu Bao said indifferently: "Since the old lady said it, of course it can be done, who does General Qin want to let be the county commander, the county lieutenant, just say the name, and the next time Liu comes, he can bring a letter of appointment stamped with a big seal." ”
"But now Fengxian is still in the hands of Liang Da, could it be that Old Lady Liu can even command Qi people?" Wang Hou said on the side.
"When the negotiation with General Qin is completed here, Liu will go to the county seat of Fengxian and have a good talk with General Liang, our Liu Mansion cannot command anyone, but it is still not a big problem to let this General Liang withdraw from Fengxian." Liu Bao is confident.
"Steward Liu, you have also seen it, now I am indeed sending people here, you have run away from the four thousand young people, and I have not done anything here, so what is the use of asking for this lot of money and food, is it moldy on the mountain?" Qin Feng spread his hands, "Steward Liu is a capable person, is there any way to solve this dilemma?" ”
Liu Bao pondered for a moment: "General, now in Shayang County, there are a lot of fleeing people, these people are homeless, homeless, helpless, and living on the verge of hunger every day. First, it can allow General Qin to alleviate the pain of employing people, and secondly, it can be regarded as finding a bite to eat for these people, no matter what, it is a matter of immeasurable merit. ”
"Three to one!" Qin Feng raised three fingers, four thousand soldiers, he asked for twelve thousand people.
"It's a small thing." Liu Bao hugged the big one.
Seeing that Liu Bao was so confident, Qin Feng couldn't help but be impressed by the ability and control of the Liu family in Shayang County, if he wanted to become big in this Feng County, he was afraid that he would have to intersect with the Liu family in the future. (To be continued.) )
