Li Longji had a good meal. It was originally an amount for two people, but he ate it and held it up. He took Dashan Chawan and chewed it in his mouth. He looked at the empty food box and looked at the empty food box. appearance.
Gao Lishi just couldn't eat, and kept smelling it. After swallowing, he decided to take the time to go to the champion building to see if it could be the same. It was also opened by Zhangjia.
The maid next to her brought tea, and the two slowly drank and looked at the information sent, and from time to time they talked about how they would choose under such circumstances.
I don't know who apologized, and spread the news that the emperor ate the food sent to Yizhou. In a short period of time, many people who are paying attention here will know.
After the ministers heard it, there was no response. Xiaobao and the cuckoo dared to poison them after they prepared the special delivery? Besides, the emperor can never eat first.
The concubines in the palace didn't feel anything. The emperor is not okay now, but the people in the imperial kitchen are different from others. Cooking for the emperor is the work of themselves and others, and now they are being robbed.
The eunuch who was in charge of the imperial kitchen came in immediately. He didn't dare to enter the hall, so he cried silently outside. The main reason was that he was under too much pressure. It didn't matter if he changed someone to give food to him, but Zhang's family couldn't. There are also restaurants in the capital. What if the emperor becomes happy and removes the current imperial kitchen and replaces it with the Zhang family's. What will I do in the future? Can you still buy an egg for five cents
Li Longji and Gao Lishi didn’t know that someone was crying aggrieved, and they looked at the information to discuss matters. The people guarding outside saw someone crying, but they couldn’t report it. What a military matter.
The little eunuch could only wipe his tears secretly there alone, wondering what exactly was the emperor eating, and whether the imperial kitchen should also do something.
"Lish, you said Zhang Zhong came back after the New Year, how should I arrange it? Little Treasure and the cuckoo can't be kept at home." Li Longji asked Gao Lishi with emotion after reading the material he believed.
"Your Majesty, the minister thought that Zhang Zhong was going to Luoyang to stay for at least one year. Otherwise, he would easily not be able to cope with all aspects of things when he returned to the capital. As for Xiaobao and Juanjuan, they can be placed in Luoyang as small officials. The master book or the county prime minister is good."
Gao Lishi slightly considered the next reply.
Li Longji nodded his head and approved the first arrangement, but he had his own thoughts on the second arrangement. "It's better to arrange it in Wannian County. At the foot of the capital, you can usually see more. Isn't the Zhang Wang family still four? Are you a baby? I'm not afraid to see two of them at ordinary times."
"This... I think I should ask them after I get back." Gao Lishi also wanted to arrange the two little guys by his side, and worried that his family would not do it.
Li Longji didn't speak this time, it was considered that he agreed with Gao Lishi's proposal. At this time, the sky outside was cloudy again, and a gust of wind mixed with snowflakes blew in from the open door of the palace, and melted and disappeared in the air.
Li Longji felt the sudden coolness, and then looked at the house his nephew had repaired, and sighed, "Hey... I wonder if there will be heavy snow this year. After a few days in a row, another place should be affected. If there is heavy snow in Yizhou, After the New Year, they may not be able to set off right away. It is better to let them come back now to avoid heavy snow blocking the road."
"It's better to ask first, or else you will be on the road during the New Year." Gao Lishi worried that the road would be uncomfortable for the New Year.
…
What Li Longji discussed with Gao Lishi was soon sent to Yizhou by military post.
Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan commanded the people to work quietly, and the 300,000 coins they earned did not want to use them on the local people. They had already taken care of the local people in other ways, and the money had other uses.
"Xiaobao, when do you think they will find out? I'm afraid they won't do it." Wang Juan held a snowball and asked Zhang Xiaobao, rubbing it lightly on his hand.
"Don’t be afraid, I don’t believe they will trade with good intentions. By then, everyone will be even. It’s winter. I hope this year’s snow will be more even. Don’t fall in one place. Sometimes there will be a shortage of water, and some will suffer. Disaster, we can’t just watch and ignore it. The lack of manpower needs to be part of it, which will affect the arrangement after returning.”
Zhang Xiaobao was afraid of the muddy road when the snow melted, especially in the current place. When he returned, he could not take a boat to take the Yellow River or the Yangtze River.
"Then go back early. Don't spend the New Year here. You have to make other arrangements. It's okay to spend the New Year on the road. If you are a family, you can do it anywhere."
Wang Juan always feels that it is a waste of time here. I really want to help the local people. I don’t have to put all the two families in Yizhou. Just arrange a few people in the inner courtyard. After this time, the officials of Jiannan Road will no longer be there. Follow the orders of your own home.
When the two people were discussing matters, Gao Lishi's letter came over, asking if he was willing to go back in advance, and he was thinking of the two people, letting others watch the work, and hurried home to discuss.
No matter where the family spends the New Year, everything is dominated by Xiaobao and Juanjuan, providing a very good environment for the development of the two.
…
The matter of leaving was settled. The people in Yizhou quit after hearing about it. They usually don’t ask Zhang Zhong to do anything for them. As long as Zhang Zhong stays in Yizhou, they can rest assured. To leave, the patriarchs came over to persuade them.
Zhang Zhong has decided that he can only comfort the patriarchs when they have time to find him, or when they find time to come by themselves, they usually arrange to send news here as long as they are handed, and bring special products from other places for everyone to taste.
Seeing that Zhang Zhong had a better future, the people began to prepare things at home so that they could bring Zhang Zhong, and sent young people in the family to follow Zhang Zhong. One was to listen to Zhang Zhong’s words. Start, the other has the opportunity to learn more things also learn.
But Mu Jiji was also watching in Yizhou. He heard that King Zhang and his family were leaving, and finally heaved a sigh of relief. However, seeing Zhang Zhong so supported by the people, he no longer had the slightest doubt about the words of the evil cuckoo, only relying on it. Minxin, she said hello, and she would definitely form a large army in a short time, plus the financial resources of the two families, that means hitting, not bluffing.
The two little children of Qianghu’s family have just learned to talk, and they usually know to wash their hands before eating and after playing. He hesitates, and finally gritted his teeth and let Zhang Zhong take it away. Zhang Zhongzhen’s son in Luzhou usually treats it. Like my own family, I believe that the two children will not be wronged either.
When preparations were about to leave, Tubo's livestock were also sent outside the customs, waiting for the handover, and also sent five thousand troops to escort them.
Wang Juan and Zhang Xiaobao set off with only a group of people who were transporting food, and Shuiyun followed, and there were no other guards.
But he looked at it, and gave a secret compliment, so courageous.
After waiting a few days, the food shipped in front arrived outside the customs first. Wang Juan, accompanied by Zhang Xiaobao, rode out and faced the Tubo 5,000 army. Step by step, the 5,000 people retreated step by step. He didn’t dare to look directly at Wang Juan. , To make the people responsible for transporting grain excited, this is awe-inspiring.
The people in Tubo who were responsible for transporting livestock couldn't say a word. The five thousand army was crushed by the opponent's double horses and couldn't raise their heads. What else
Wang Juan nodded in satisfaction, and said to Ke Muji: "It's time to exchange, I said."
We first weigh the grain, and after weighing the grain that came first this time, we will then weigh the animals according to the price. For all the animals we have weighed, the people of Datang will be responsible for filling the medicine.
Seeing this situation, he was taken aback for a moment, and when the corresponding animals were changed, before he asked him, he smelled stinky odors.
Most of them have diarrhea, regardless of whether they are changed animals or not.
But Mu Jiji was taken aback. He didn't even know that the animals that needed to be exchanged had been filled with water. No wonder the cuckoo made people fill the medicine. He knew it a long time ago. What can he do
But he looked at Wang Juan with concern, and Wang Juan returned him with a smiling face.
"This, this is the case, our Tubo livestock..."
"It's okay, I can understand, understand each other, let people go to do the medicine, I take a lot of medicine this time." Wang Juan still smiled.
But Mu Jiji didn’t know if it was true or false. He took a closer look at Wang Juan and found that the other party did not look angry. Then he wiped the sweat that just leaked from his forehead, and said with a smile: “Yes, mutual understanding , Can understand, it should be so, irrigate, irrigate immediately."
With a command, the people of Tubo took the medicine brought by the Tang Dynasty and began to pour the animals.
While it was filling, a Tubo citizen opened a bag of millet, grabbed it and took a look, and shouted at Kemuji: "They mixed sand in the rice. At least ten percent of this handful of rice is sand."
Ke Jiji was stunned, turned his head to look at Wang Juan, wanting an explanation.
Wang Juan pointed to the animals that were still being dosed, and said: "It may be that Chen Michen, a commoner of Datang, has been in the business for a long time. Now I can pay for it. I used the new grain to increase the price. Hey... Mutual understanding. Well, otherwise your five thousand army..."
"Understand, understand, let it go for a long time, really let it go for a long time. The army is afraid that people will make trouble. It is not used for war in peacetime." Ke Zhiji understood a lot of things and knew why Wang Juan did not pursue it. Regarding the irrigation of livestock, I also know why they are willing to exchange new grains for old grains at a 10% price increase.
It's too boring. How can you pass the rice to get all the sand out? Who on earth gave the animals the water? How did Wang Juan know about it? Rice is mixed with 10% sand. How much can be irrigated by livestock? If you don't irrigate, you can ask for an explanation.
It looks even now, but it's not the case at all.
The people of Tubo also considered that they had filled with water, so they had no choice but to accept it, hoping that they would pick it up first, otherwise they would not be able to eat enough of the grain when they sent the grain with sand. .
The animals were irrigated with water, diarrhea, some died, some were fine, the dead Wang Juan also wanted, but the price was reduced by half, only some meat money was given, and the living ones were treated almost the same. At that time, all the food was also shipped.
In the past few days, the animals became thinner, and they didn't even finish changing the food they shipped. When they came over, they weighed it, and it happened to be able to replace all the food prepared by Datang.
One is the insufficient portion of the livestock, and the dead part. The second is that the food in Datang is 10% more, and the livestock also needs 10% more.
But he looked at the remaining food and looked at Wang Juan. That meant, what should I do
"I'm so talkative. The food is shipped, so I can't take it back. It's not easy for Tubo. In this way, in your army, I think there are hundreds of horses, plus weapons. Take them all. I’ll give you all the food. If I lose money, I’ll take it away. If I don’t want to change it, I’ll take it away. It’s just that I’ve pulled a lot of food and there are few horses. Be careful when you encounter robbers on the road, I can’t take Qingqi to your guard. ."
From the perspective of the Tubo people, Wang Juan helped to figure out a solution. He had to change the horses and weapons of the Tubo people for his painful appearance.
But it didn’t count as much as he said, so he could only discuss with the leader of the general, and asked him if he was willing to exchange. After Wang Juan threatened, the leader nodded helplessly and agreed. He didn’t dare to treat Wang Juan now. Do it, once you can't keep Wang Juan, then wait for revenge.
The soldiers left their weapons and horses, joined the food delivery team and walked back, all with their heads down as they left.
Wang Juan also directed the people to walk into the city of Pengzhou, all with their chests tall.
The officials in Pengzhou were also standing on the city’s head, worrying that Tubo would have captured the cuckoo and Xiaobao. Unexpectedly, everything went well and they all came back. After knowing that the weapons and horses of the Tubo army were also left behind, they The officials were speechless at the moment, and the evil spirit was indeed the evil spirit.
When Wang Juan entered the city, officials gathered around him, wanting to take a closer look at this little girl.
Wang Juan said sadly to the officials: "Pay it, pay it now. If I have more than 20% of the food left, I will switch to this weapon and livestock. Hey... I am soft-hearted, and I am afraid that the people of Tubo will not have enough to eat. ."
The officials froze for a while, and finally someone reacted and persuaded: "Yes, the cuckoo has a soft heart and is a good person. The people of Tubo should be grateful to the cuckoo."
Other officials echoed.
When Zhang Xiaobao saw Wang Juan, he still said to touch her, "Okay, go back and leave soon, don’t waste time, what is grateful for you? Mixed with 10% of the sand? Or use that bit of broken old grain to get a lot of money. Iron tools and military horses? Go, weapons need to be melted into iron ingots to make farm tools. One knife is enough to turn into three or four kitchen knives, and a dozen arrows can make a coulter."
Wang Juan thought about it, too. In a hurry, he greeted the officials and hurried back to Yizhou with a large number of animals. The army horses were left to Pengzhou, and they could form a cavalry battalion.
After pitting Tubo and earning a lot of livestock, the people in the inner courtyard were arranged to stay in the local area to take charge of the management. The people from Zhang Wang's family cleaned up and embarked on the road back to Beijing.
Countless people sent it off, and the souvenirs they sent were packed in more than a hundred vehicles.
Before Zhang Xiaobao left, he had not forgotten to write a letter to be sent to Tubo, telling Tubo to live in peace and try not to show robbers to intercept his caravan in the desert, otherwise the cuckoo would be very sad and angry.
