Section 32: The Old Fox and the Little Fox
Mr. Li Gang was very calm, Li Chengqian lowered his body to ask for his old man's opinion, the old man raised his head and glanced at Li Chengqian and said: "The world is big, there are no surprises, since the Tang Dynasty is the suzerain, then we must take the responsibility of the suzerain, the war will always subside one day, no matter how you kill, it will always pass, living well is the ultimate mainstream, the people of Loulan are gone, not Loulan is gone, to distinguish clearly, the academy can send Mr. Jin Zhu to Loulan, he has always wanted to go to the Western Regions in his early years, there is no chance." It's not bad to go now.
Your Highness, no matter what happened in the Western Regions, the safety of the academy and the students must come first, sue those murderers in the Western Regions, if the people of the academy have an accident, no matter what the accident is, the old man will blame them.
Don't think that the academy is full of old men, if these old men are angry, they will regret it in hell, and if they are not held accountable for a hundred years, the academy will definitely not give up! “
Li Chengqian was stunned for a moment, the first time he heard the kind old gentleman be ruthless, and he said it so decisively, if something happened to the people in the academy, it seemed that he was not even willing to let go of the children and grandchildren of those people.
"Could it be that the mountain chief can't see what clues are there?"
Li Gang patted the armrest of a chair hatefully and said angrily: "What else? It's nothing more than a natural disaster and a man-made disaster, the old man has doubts about natural disasters, no matter how big the natural disaster will be, someone will be spared, since no one can see it, then, cattle and sheep, pigs and dogs, chickens and ducks, are they also dead? Even if it is a plague, people will be infected, but can even chickens and ducks be infected?
Jin Zhu said that it may be that the water source is gone, and the water source is gone, which is also a gradual process, and there is also a process for the crowd to move away, so they don't need pots and pans when they move? Are these things cheap?
Hmph, hum. Hmph, these killers are robbing people with red eyes, Yun Ye used to say that there would be sheep eating people, isn't it now? Dressed in straight wool, I don't want to think about where they came from, the Han people don't know how to graze. The old man heard that there were no wandering shepherds on the grassland, and not all of them had been captured for grazing.
Yun Ye, tell me, how many people are on your family's ranch! “
Hearing that the old gentleman lost his temper, Yun Ye hurriedly came over and said: "The ranch of the student's house is at the foot of Yin Mountain, and some teenagers who were taken in by the evening were grazing, and they definitely didn't rob people, it is estimated that there are only two or three hundred people." ”
"Fart! Your steward, Yun Jiu, is now the number one supplier of the Academy's textile workshop. Accounting for seventy percent of the wool supply of the academy, there are 300 looms in the academy's workshop, do you calculate yourself, can two or three hundred people raising sheep afford such a large workshop to spin day and night? ”
This is why Yun Ye stood a little farther away, otherwise it would be a mouthful of spit, Yun Ye scratched his head, to be honest, he really didn't know how many people there were in his ranch. The ranch was in the twilight of the day, and I never asked about it. However, perhaps, it seems that two or three hundred people really can't raise so many sheep, and it is an astronomical amount to be able to supply the workshops of the academy.
I happened to see Lao Qian probing his brain at the door, so he called him in and said, "Old Qian told Mr. how many people there are in our ranch." Be clear and don't hide it. ”
Lao Qian shrank his head and looked at Yun Ye, and then at the angry Li Gang, and said in a low voice: "It turned out to be two hundred and thirty-three people, including those guards and retainers sent by our family. Now, now, maybe more than two thousand people, you know, the second lady used to like to pick up things, and after Yun Jiu went, it seemed that she had picked up some more. ”
Li Gang said helplessly to Li Chengqian: "Listen, in three or five years, there will be an increase of 2,000 people, it is estimated that they are all strong laborers, in the past, a medium-sized tribe on the grassland, it is already amazing to be able to make up 2,000 people to control the strings, and now a Yun family is like this, what do you expect other families on the grassland to do?"
The old man firmly believes that they don't have the courage to kidnap the Tang people, because they will be beheaded by His Majesty, there are only so many people on the grassland, Hou Junji has been killed for ten years, even if he doesn't kill them, there are few people left, where did these people come from? It wasn't the army that looted, only the people from the Western Regions could be looted, and the old man thought that nine times out of ten this matter was done by the border army.
If the people of the academy find out about the incident, maybe they will be wiped out, the old man must prepare early, go to Loulan this time, Jin Zhu don't lead the team, how can a bad good person fight against those killing talents, Xu Jingzong goes, bring Yun Ye's apprentice Di Renjie with him, Jin Zhu is only responsible for inspection, and then bring ten students under your door, and then take the weasel away when you leave, so it's decided. “
After Li Gang finished speaking, Yun Ye and Xiao Wu were in a hurry, and Yun Ye hurriedly said: "Sir, the marriage between Di Renjie and Xiao Wu is next month, you see, why don't the disciples go on a trip?" ”
Li Gang pouted and said, "Distressed? Di Renjie is also a disciple of the academy, the old man can still support the movement, his life is life, other people's lives are not? If you don't find some smart people, sooner or later you will get out of the basket, what does it matter if the marriage is delayed for half a year. ”
Di Renjie in the crowd hurriedly stood up and said to Yun Ye: "Master, since the mountain chief thinks that the disciple is still of some use, the disciple naturally obeys the order, I just heard that the land of the Western Regions has a vast vision, and the disciple should go and see it." ”
Xiao Wu glanced at Di Renjie fiercely, and immediately put on a charming smiling face, and was just about to speak to Li Gang, Di Renjie took a step forward and inserted himself between the two of them, bowed down to Li Gang and said, "Student command!" ”
Li Gang patted Di Renjie on the shoulder with a smile and said, "It's good, a manly man must always make a meritorious career, so that he can straighten his chest at home, be careful, and bring everyone back safely." ”
Di Renjie lowered his body so that Li Gang could shoot more comfortably, Yun Ye sighed, he saw Xiao Wu twisting Di Renjie's waist, and he didn't know how he endured it.
I can't go by myself, the sentence just now is to embarrass Li Gang, the commander of the Lingnan Navy Division has been criticized for staying in Chang'an, what are you doing in the desert playing with boats.
After listening to Li Gang's words, Li Chengqian also felt that it was very suspicious, and when he was ready to go back, he would interrogate the messenger of the border army.
On the way home, Di Renjie kept saying good things to Xiao Wu, but Xiao Wu's pink face was so cold that it could scrape a layer of frost, no matter what Di Renjie said, his hand would not leave the soft flesh on his waist.
"Xiao Wu, don't embarrass Xiao Jie, you have also seen it, there is no way to refuse today." Yun Ye couldn't stand it anymore and said.
"Master, Mr. Li Gang is knocking on our family's bamboo bar, he didn't need Xiaojie to go, he insisted on getting Xiaojie to fight our family's guards, Xiaojie went, you must be reluctant to let him go alone, how can you send a few masters to go together, so that everyone's safety is guaranteed, old fox!"
"Hmph, you are the little fox, you don't need to think about it, Master understands, Xiaojie must pass by Shanshan when he goes to Loulan, there is a mutton restaurant called Donglaishun outside the east gate of Shanshan City, you only say that you want two catties of mutton shabu, and then half a catty of garlic cloves to drink, someone will come to answer, this brand is taken, he will see this brand, he will do his best to help you."
Xiao Wu watched in amazement as the master handed Di Renjie a rotten wooden sign, although she didn't know who would answer Di Renjie, since this wooden sign master had been carrying it with him, it proved that this person was very remarkable.
"You go to the Western Regions, the dog goes with you, the iron egg is in Chang'an, you take him away, Xitong left his son behind, just to find a way out for his son, I'm embarrassed to ask me for an official, stay is to entrust me with a way, this time, you can justifiably send him a position, and there are three veterans of the Western Regions at home, bring it together."
I went to ask Li Tai for gunpowder, I heard that he had made some new weapons, if necessary, bring fire oil, canned food, field dry food, by the way, I will teach you how to get water in the desert, you remember, in the desert do not dare to leave the water, water is easy to rot in the skin, reserve more grapes, I will also prepare a glass bottle for you.
I don't care if you can find anything in the desert, as long as you return to Chang'an, Master will always have a way, saving your life is what you have to do, I will equip you with these manpower and materials, not to make meritorious contributions to your career, but to save your life, if you want to make meritorious contributions, there is a chance to return to Chang'an. “
Di Renjie knelt on the board of the carriage and respectfully saluted Xiao Wu to Yun Ye, choked up and said: "Master cares about Xiao Jie so much, but I am embarrassed, and the disciple will definitely come back safely and live up to Master's trust." “
"That's right, everyone in our family has to live a long life, in the case of ensuring that they are safe and sound, and then talk about serving the country and the people, this person, the winner is not a moment, sometimes as long as you live longer than the other party, you will win, remember, those people in the Western Regions are holding the purpose of wealth and danger, we don't have to, not thinking of making progress is a hundred times stronger than such an idiot idea, alive, there are 10,000 possibilities."
Every time Yun Ye said a word, Xiao Wu nodded on the side, and kept telling Di Renjie not to forget, and said to Di Renjie vigorously, even if he escaped back, he would not be ashamed, as long as he came back, he would marry immediately, and there would never be such a thing as anyone looking down on anyone.
When I got home, I knew why Lao Qian went to the academy to find him, it turned out that Cheng Chumo came over, this guy has now entered Zuo Wuwei again, and he has hung the title of a captain and wandered all day long, I don't know what happened today.
"I heard that Zuo Wuwei is going to send troops, I took this errand, and I plan to go to the Western Regions for a walk and come to your house to mix some things for use." Cheng Chumo, who was rummaging around in the warehouse, saw Yun Ye say this sentence thoughtlessly. (To be continued......)
