Chapter 525: The goose plucks its feathers

Xia Hongsheng naturally patted his chest as a guarantee, and promised to make a point for Zagu. Zagu left the two boxes of things, saying that they were for use up and down, not as a gift for Xia Hongsheng, and Xia Hongsheng let him stay half-pushed.

Seeing that Xia Hongsheng accepted the things, Zagu happily said goodbye and left.

Sending Zagu to the door, seeing him go away, Xia Hongsheng turned around and went back, and as soon as the door was closed, he left Qi Yong and said, "Qi Yong!" Hurry up and open those two boxes, so that this son can also open his eyes. ”

Qi Yong had no choice but to walk to the box, took out a dagger from his waist, and lifted the lid along the gap.

The two of them suddenly gasped, Qi Yong looked at Xia Hongsheng, and Xia Hongsheng looked at the two boxes.

"Tsk, Xue Yantuo is really rich......" Xia Hongsheng stared at the various jewels and agate in the box, although these things are not rare in the later generations, and some things are even cheaper, but now in the Tang Dynasty, everything in the box is priceless.

"Gong, Gongzi...... This, this is too much, this ...... Don't dare to ask for it! Qi Yong's frightened voice trembled a little: "A few years ago, my old grandfather said that there was an assassin who accepted a bribe from someone, but he was caught by the supervision of the imperial history and convicted of a felony!" This, that's a lot more than that! ”

Xia Hongsheng looked at the two boxes and scratched his head: "Qi Yong, do you have a favorite girl?" ”

"Huh?" Qi Yong was stunned.

Immediately, I saw Xia Hongsheng grab a handful from each of the two boxes and stuff it to Qi Yong, while stuffing it. On the other hand, he said, "Here you go." Take it and use it for your daughter-in-law when the time comes! ”

Qi Yong looked at Xia Hongsheng in a daze. But when he saw Xia Hongsheng stuffing the two big handfuls of things into his hands, he squatted in front of the two boxes again, and began to grab things out one by one, and while grabbing them, he still muttered in his mouth: "Well, these are for my sister-in-law...... These things should be the taste of Heyue Immortal. Hey, she must be happy to give this to Hui'er...... This one. You have to bring some to Changle. Do you want to leave a few things for her, blame the poor ...... for not being able to go out all day?"

Qi Yong stood beside him in a daze, dumbfounded looking at where his son-in-law was taking things with a straight face, his face was messy, if there were three views now, it would be all ruined and broken.

After a long time, Xia Hongsheng stood up, clapped his hands, and said, "Okay, Qi Yong." Re-nail the box, and we'll send it to Your Majesty early tomorrow morning. ”

"Tiny Tiny ...... The little one didn't dare to ask for ......," Qi Yong trembled and looked at the two handfuls of things in his hand. The mouth is almost flattened: "Childe ......"

"You will take what is given to you, and when the time comes, it will be said that the daughter-in-law will give it to the girl's family, and it will have a long face." Xia Hongsheng waved his hand and said, "It's okay, Xue Yantuo is very rich, and what we take is not enough for people to stuff their teeth." Hehe, Your Majesty ate the meat, and the little bit we left behind is not even soup, at most it is the soup foam on the dripping table! This is called goose plucking. ”

Qi Yong moved his lips, but he couldn't say anything, so he had to look at the two large boxes that were missing a full layer, and squatted down to renail the mouth of the box.

"Childe, these are better kept by Childe...... The small ones don't need so much......" Qi Yong looked at the ones Xia Hongsheng gave him and said.

"Teach you to take it, you can take it, and if you talk more, I'll say that you took it yourself!" Xia Hongsheng said to him: "Go to the palace early tomorrow morning and sleep!" ”

Early the next morning, Xia Hongsheng got up early in the morning, and asked the two boxes to be carried into the carriage and went to the palace.

When he arrived at the gate of Suzaku, he waited for the carriage to enter, so he waited for the report, and then the guards drove the carriage to the palace. Li Shimin had just finished his morning exercise and was wiping his sweat, when he saw Xia Hongsheng's carriage arrive, he asked, "What, what is this?" ”

"This is a gift from Xue Yantuo's envoy to Weichen last night. In order to convince him that Wechen was secretly supporting him, Wechen refused and let him stay. Xia Hongsheng told Li Shimin truthfully: "However, Weichen can't afford the crime of accepting bribes, so he simply put it on His Majesty to dispose of." ”

"Oh? A gift from Xue Yantuo's envoy to Xia Qing? Li Shimin stroked his beard and said with a smile: "I'm afraid it's not an ordinary thing!" ”

"This Weichen doesn't know." Xia Hongsheng pretended to be stupid: "The box is nailed." ”

Li Shimin picked the corner of his eyes, stared at Xia Hongsheng, and said with a smile: "This makes me curious, come on, go open it and show me." ”

Immediately, someone went over and carried the two boxes down from the carriage, pried open the lid and flipped it open, Li Shimin himself was taken aback.

"I didn't expect that this Xue Yantuo's envoy is not small." Li Shimin walked over and looked down at the contents of the two big boxes: "I'm afraid that these two boxes are worth no less than 100,000 yuan." However, this Xue Yantuo is not particular enough to turn into a barbarian. How can this and give gifts to others not fill the mouth of the box? If you can't fill it, you should change to two smaller boxes! ”

"Oh? Is there such a doorway? Xia Hongsheng pretended to be surprised and said: "Weichen still doesn't know, and if you think that Xue Yantuo is not well-mannered, there is no way to know." ”

Li Shimin really picked his eyes and looked at Xia Hongsheng, Xia Hongsheng looked at his nose and nose, and his heart was heavy, and his dantian was unwavering.

"Well, then I won't be with people who don't even know such a courtesy." Li Shimin deliberately bit down on the words that didn't know how to count the etiquette, laughed a few times, and asked, "How is Xia Qing going to deal with Xue Yantuo?" ”

"The minister has his own music!" Xia Hongsheng took out his own note from his sleeve and presented it to Li Shimin.

Li Shimin took Xia Hongsheng's recital, and Xia Hongsheng wrote in detail how to use the technology, products and other things that Datang has eliminated, which are backward compared to Datang, and are extremely eager for others to transform them into Datang's wealth, so that Datang can use those useless things that are to be eliminated to play a greater role, and obtain funds for further research and development of technology by Datang, or the practice of resources needed.

"Xia Qing is going to sell those weapons that were eliminated in the Tang Army to Xue Yantuo?" Li Shimin first quickly browsed it, looked up and asked with some surprise: "And cement?" ……”

"Your Majesty, Weichen's idea is to make this a normal state in the future, and Xue Yantuo happens to be just the first object for us to experiment." Xia Hongsheng said to Li Shimin. (To be continued.) )
