【Chapter 196】 Means of accumulating money
Li Li squinted his eyes and glanced at Zhang Ji, and said in a deep voice: "You get up, you don't need to kneel for Li, so as not to make people laugh." ”
"No, if the general doesn't agree to spare Xiu'er, Zhang won't get up. The general is magnanimous, please look at my years with your uncle and colleagues, my subordinates are merciful, spare the embroidery, Zhang is grateful to the general for his great kindness! Zhang Ji said pleadingly.
Li Li frowned slightly, and after a moment of silence, he said, "Everyone who comes is a guest." Today, your uncle and nephew are guests in Li's house, although they are uninvited guests, but they are still guests after all. In addition, you Zhang Ji and my uncle have indeed been colleagues for many years, and it is inconvenient for Li to kill your nephew.
But?????? Your nephew Zhang Xiu was defeated first, and then tried to attack and kill Li's favorite general Tietuo, everyone has seen this matter and cannot be denied.
Today's matter, if you Zhang Ji don't give an explanation to Li, wouldn't the tens of thousands of soldiers of my Wuwei Army be chilled, who will be loyal to me in the future!
Since ancient times, it has been said that the father's debt is repaid by the son.
If your nephew does something evil, Li will naturally not let you Zhang Ji repay it on your behalf, but someone has to stand up and atone for your nephew. The Lord is in trouble, and the subordinates obey it. In this way, Hu Che'er will stay behind to redeem your nephew Zhang Xiu, and your uncle and nephew can leave with their own soldiers! ”
"Ahh This??????. Zhang Ji was shocked when he heard this, and after being stunned, he didn't know how to respond.
Li Li was unforgiving, and asked him Zhang Ji to choose one of the two between Hu Che'er and Zhang Xiu, how should this be good.
Zhang Xiu is his only nephew, and it is very likely that he will become his slave in the future and inherit the Zhang family's family business.
And Hu Che'er is his favorite general, who has followed him for many years, is loyal, and has made great contributions. He Zhang Ji can have the status and strength he has today. Hu Che'er has made great contributions and is indispensable.
How to choose, who will abandon and who will stay?
According to Zhang Ji's previous style of doing things, he would rather kneel and kowtow to Li Li without shame, rather than weaken his own strength, let alone give up his love for Hu Che'er.
However, through today's contact, Zhang Ji can be regarded as seeing Li Li's means of doing things.
Li Liqi is humble and elegant in appearance, and is very affable. But he is actually a ruthless and domineering person.
Now that Li Li has spoken his words, it means that he has made up his mind and will definitely not change it.
Zhang Ji was very entangled in his heart, thought about it repeatedly, and carefully weighed who was lighter and heavier between Zhang Xiu and Hu Che'er. Thinking about the way forward.
In fact, how should Zhang Xiu and Hu Che'er choose. Clear-eyed people already know it. Because Li Li has already given the answer that everyone knows.
Hu Che'er received it on behalf of the master, he was Zhang Ji's general before, and he will change his master in the future, and he will become the servant of Longxiang Li Mansion.
Seeing that Zhang Ji pondered for a long time but was still hesitating, Li Li squinted his eyes slightly, and muttered leisurely: "General Zhang Ji has a decision?
Your nephew Zhang Xiu's injuries don't look light. I was still calling just now, but now I don't call. You have to hurry up, otherwise if Zhang Xiu has three longs and two shorts, it has nothing to do with Li. It's you, General Zhang Ji, who delayed the treatment time and harmed your nephew's life! ”
"Ugh!" Zhang Ji groaned in astonishment, and then said with a flattering face: "General, I wonder if this matter can be accommodated?" Zhang was willing to redeem Hu Che'er with 300 war horses, 3,000 stone of grain and 200 gold property as compensation. I don't know what the general wants? ”
"Hehehe!" When Li Li heard this, he smiled and said, "General Zhang is really generous, his family is solid, and he is generous!"
As the saying goes, people are poor, horses are thin and long!
Liangzhou is bitterly cold, Wuwei County is poor and widowed, and I, Li Li, am also a poor guard, otherwise how could I use the wedding gift to collect money!
It's just that Li has a little benefit, that is, we are poor and poor, but the bones in this body are very hard, born with a bull temper, admit death, and go all the way to the black!
Li is poor, so poor that he has this bit of backbone left! I'd rather die standing than live on my knees!
Is there anything else General Zhang would like to say? If not, I have to bother you to go on a trip in person to explain the whole story to Hu Che'er, lest he mistakenly think that Li is bullying! Let's go, Li will accompany you. ”
Li Li's words almost choked Zhang Ji to death.
So far, Zhang Ji can only admit it, abandon Hu Che'er, and save his nephew Zhang Xiu.
There is no way, although fierce generals are rare, but they have been close and close since ancient times.
Zhang Ji was reluctant to give up on Hu Che'er, but he never crossed the hurdle of intimacy.
Zhang Xiu is his own nephew after all, and although Hu Che'er is loyal and brave, he is just a general, and he cannot be compared with Zhang Xiu after all.
"That's it, according to the will of the general, Hu Che'er will be the slave of the general from now on!" Zhang Ji tried his best to suppress the resentment in his heart and said in a deep voice.
Li Li smiled slightly when he heard this, walked to Zhang Ji's side, and said with a smile: "This is very good." General Zhang, please! ”
Zhang Ji glanced at Zhang Xiu, who fell to the ground and groaned in pain, with a gloomy face, and walked towards Hu Che'er with his head down, and Li Li followed behind him with a smile on his face.
??????????????????
Half an hour later, Li Li took Li Xuan and others to personally send Zhang Ji's uncle and nephew and the three hundred soldiers who came with him out of the mansion, and watched them leave.
"Lord, in fact, three hundred war horses, three thousand stones of grain and two hundred gold treasures are also a lot, was the lord really not tempted at all at that time? Hehehe! Watching Zhang Ji's uncle and nephew drift away, Li Xuan said comfortably.
Li Li was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and said with a smile: "Yuan Zhong, you are the big steward in charge of the money, food, and ordnance of the Wuwei Army, so you pay more attention to food and property, and everything else is secondary. Because of this, I am relieved that the armament, money and food will be entrusted to you.
And I am the opposite of you, I am the commander of an army, I pay more attention to talents and generals, and firmly believe that there are no weak soldiers under strong generals.
There is a saying since ancient times: if people lose land, people and land will survive; Saving land and losing people, people and land are lost.
Therefore, I believe in the concept of people-oriented, and always believe that as long as there are talents and generals, even if we are poor and hard, we will gradually become stronger.
Zhang Ji is generous and generous on the surface, but in fact he is too petty!
Hu Che'er has followed him for many years, working hard and complaining, and working hard, is it only worth such a little money? If I, Li Li, encounter this kind of thing, even if I exchange a thousand war horses for a general, I Li will not frown! ”
After Li Xuan heard this, he immediately shook his head with a wry smile and muttered in a low voice: "That's because we have enough war horses in Wuwei County, and there are two horse farms to store war horses, otherwise you wouldn't have said that." ”
"Uh, Yuan Zhong, what are you muttering?" Li Li asked curiously.
"No, nothing. By the way, my lord, Hu Che'er's injuries are not serious, and the Tatar commander is very measured, and it looks bloody, but in fact they are all skin injuries, which can be healed in half a month. Li Xuan said solemnly.
Li Li nodded slightly and said, "That's fine, otherwise if Hu Che'er is really too badly injured, I can't bear it." He is a loyal and brave general, and he may still lack wisdom, but as long as he uses it properly, he is also a great general! ”
Li Xuanshen bowed his head and said, "What the lord said is extremely true. Hu Che'er can fight with Tie Xiao for nearly 100 rounds without defeat, his martial arts are really good, and then he sacrificed his life to protect Zhang Xiu, he is indeed a loyal and brave person. Thinking about it this way, his subordinates felt that Zhang Ji was indeed a little stingy just now, and if he doubled his belongings, maybe the lord would agree. ”
"Hehehe!" When Li Li heard this, he said, "Yuan Zhong, you are really hopeless, you can't get out if you fall into the eyes of money!" Didn't Zhang Ji send us a sum of money today, why are you still not satisfied? ”
Li Xuan smiled and said: "Lord, although our Wuwei army is strong now, there are many places to use money, and the consumption of money and food is huge. The subordinates did not dare to relax for a moment for this reason, and they wished that there would be income every day and ten thousand gold every day. Only in this way can our Wuwei Army become stronger and stronger, dominate Liangzhou, and look at the world! ”
After a slight pause, Li Xuan said to Li Li with a smile: "Lord, there was a sentence when you talked to Zhang Ji just now, which inspired your subordinates a lot. That is, make good use of your lord's wedding, let's try to collect as much money as possible, and later spread the news of Zhang Ji's 300 gold congratulatory gift, and arrange a seat for him.
In this way, those generals and ministers who have not yet sent congratulatory gifts have to weigh their own, and the congratulatory gifts sent will definitely not be too light, no matter what, they will have to pay ten or twenty gold, otherwise their subordinates will arrange them at the last seat! Hehehe??????"
"Huh?" Li Li was really shocked and touched a lot this time, how similar Li Xuan's idea was to the wedding banquets and celebrations of later generations.
As soon as he thought of this, Li Li said with a smile: "Yuan Zhong, I really have you, the idea is very good, just do it!" In addition, the wedding banquet of our Longxiang Li Mansion will arrange seats according to the weight of the congratulatory gift, no matter what official position he is, the congratulatory gift is too light, let him sit at the last seat!
In this matter, you don't have to give face to those old ministers of the Three Dynasties, if they dare not come, you will send someone to the palace to ask Dong Yue to post an invitation in the name of Dong Taishi. Either this matter is not done, or if it is to be done, it must be done well, and all the civil and military ministers of the Manchu Dynasty will be wiped out, and no one will be missing! ”
"Huh? Lord, what you said is the truth, not a joke? Three Princes and Nine Princesses, we also arrange seats according to congratulatory gifts? Li Xuan asked in surprise.
Li Li nodded without hesitation and said, "Of course it's true!" No matter who he is, he will be treated equally, and the seats will be arranged according to the congratulatory gifts, even if it is the children and nephews of Taishi Dong and the royal family, it is no exception! ”
"Isn't that right? In case Master Dong is to blame, the lord is afraid that it will be difficult to explain. Li Xuan said hesitantly.
Li Li smiled slightly when he heard this, shook his head and said, "Yuan Zhong is too worried. Dong Taishi's beloved daughter Dong Wan is about to marry me as his wife, which is equivalent to Dong Taishi doing a happy event, and the higher the threshold, the better. If Mrs. Dong knew, I'm afraid he would be even happier, our Mrs. Dong was a master of collecting money in his early years, and this kind of thing was an old trick he played leftover! ”
After Li Xuan heard this, he was stunned for a long time, and then said, "Okay, great!" If this is the case, with the congratulatory gifts received at this wedding banquet, it will be enough for our Wuwei Army to consume money and food for a year. It's a no-brainer! Haha??????。 (To be continued) (To be continued......
