Chapter 512: Procrastination
A month later, a large number of horse-drawn carriages appeared on the official road in front of the patrol city.
However, they didn't enter the city immediately, but sat aside and waited, the last time, when Li Qingyun summoned the ten city lords, what happened had already spread throughout the entire northern land.
These city lords have learned to be clever, and none of them are so hard-working.
Of course, Bai Jian also learned to be obedient this time, got out of the carriage, and ran to chat with Qin Kun.
The last time he came to patrol the city, Qin Kun released obvious goodwill, and Bai Jian went to Jinyan City a few times because of business, and the two of them were familiar with each other.
"This Wang Zang is gone, and it seems that he has not been doing well recently. ”
Qin Kun glanced at the carriage next to him that was silent, and a hint of schadenfreude flashed in his eyes.
"Whatever he does, didn't the Ranger say he didn't need us to come the last time he left? ”
Bai Jian didn't understand very much, the last time they came, Li Qingyun explained, and when he walked through the northern land and asked the city lords to come over, they wouldn't be used.
However, half a year ago, the letter was delivered to the city lord's mansion, and he had to come again.
"Although the adult is young, can you guess his thoughts?"
Qin Kun rolled his eyes, the last time they came, they knew that Li Qingyun was not an ordinary second ancestor, and he didn't act like a person in his twenties at all.
When they were as old as Li Qingyun, they were still cultivating day and night, but the result was good, ten city lords came, and none of them could see through Li Qingyun's cultivation, this background is really important.
"I'm not a roundworm in an adult's stomach, I know there, anyway, I can sit upright, and adults can't find it even if they trouble me. ”
Shirakan wanted to roll his eyes and go back, but after thinking about it, he still didn't.
To tell the truth, the ten city lords who came should have been a little stunned in their hearts, for Li Qingyun, none of these people treated him as a little child, but instead regarded him as a real patrol.
If Li Qingyun really wanted to trouble them and burn this first fire, then they would probably be really in trouble.
"Come on, my lord said it clearly, the city lord's mansion is a face, let you fix it, you look at your city lord's mansion, it's the same as a dog kennel, if your lord is looking for someone to open the knife, the first one is you. Qin Kun reminded.
"Fog grass! forgot to forget!" Bai Jian patted his head anxiously, quite regretful, "How did I forget this stubble, I knew that I would have built the outside wall first, and I could still quibble." ”
Qin Kun pursed his lips, and glanced at the city lords who were chatting around him with bad intentions, and obviously didn't care much about this trip.
Laugh, laugh hard, and you'll cry later.
After waiting for two hours, it was almost noon, and the gates of the patrol city were finally opened, and the lords of the cities were ushered in.
Li Qingyun didn't hold a shelf in the main hall this time, just stood behind the gate, waiting with a smile.
Seeing him, the city lords were obviously stunned for a moment.
"The lower official has seen the patrol lord!" At this time, Qin Kun knelt down and kowtowed.
"You ......"
Before Bai Jian finished speaking, Qin Kun pulled him violently, Bai Jian was startled, and quickly knelt down and shouted.
A hint of surprise flashed in Li Qingyun's eyes, but his face remained silent.
The two of them knelt down, coupled with Li Qingyun's expression, Wang Zang and the others hesitated for a moment, and also made a big salute.
At this moment, the rest of the city lords could not understand, sighed, and knelt down.
However, some people didn't move, and the two slightly younger city lords glanced at Li Qingyun and didn't speak, just stood straight and straight.
Qin Kun glanced at them, his eyes were full of emotion, once upon a time, he was like these two people, however, the backbone can't be eaten, it is angular, it is better to be sleek and sophisticated.
Li Qingyun pretended to be very surprised, and hurriedly stepped forward to make a gesture of false support, and said with a smile: "What are you doing, get up quickly, the ground is cold." ”
Then the people stood up.
Li Qingyun glanced at the two people who were quite unsociable, didn't say anything, and took a group of city lords to the array of the Pingxiao Army on the side, and began to introduce them.
"I'm not in a hurry today, I heard that some of you city lords have no experience in leading troops, this patrol city, there are 200,000 soldiers stationed there, and here is the Pingxiao Army, I believe everyone has heard of it, you can communicate more. ”
Then, the deputy commanders on the left and right who were standing behind Li Qingyun, one hurriedly moved a chair over, and the other ran to the side and made a pot of tea.
"Let's take a look, after all, opportunities can be sought. ”
Li Qingyun lay comfortably on the chair and said casually.
At this time, Yun Yin walked over with Yun Yao in her arms, glared at Li Qingyun with disgust, and complained: "Where have you been, Yun Yao has been crying and shouting for you." 53 Chinese Net
"Isn't this something to be busy with?" Come, son, daddy hug," Li Qingyun smiled wryly, stretched out his hand to hug Yun Yao, and turned his head to look at the city lords, "Let's take a look first, and we'll talk about it in an hour." ”
Then, he stopped talking and began to tease Yun Yao.
The city lords glanced at each other, and the corners of several of their mouths twitched obviously, obviously not figuring out what kind of medicine was sold in the gourd of the patrol lord.
They hurried over, but now they let them see the Pingxiao Army first, and gave them an hour's time, isn't it idle?
Also, what son is crying and shouting to find, you look at that little guy, laughing happily, where is there a little bit of crying.
However, some of the city lords seemed to be quite interested, and they talked to Li Qingyun, and then went to learn from the commanders of the Pingxiao Army.
Especially Wang Zang and the others, they walked quite fast, and the rest of the city lords hesitated for a moment and followed.
"Thank you just now. Bai Jian looked at Qin Kun next to him and hugged his fists.
"Needless to say, if you are polite, the next time I send someone to buy fairy lotus, I can count a few thousand taels less. Qin Kun waved his hand and said with a smile.
"Well, I'd better be polite to you. ”
Bai Jian rolled his eyes, a few thousand taels were enough for him for two or three years.
However, just as all the city lords entered the city to patrol the city, a big storm was set off in the Northland.
An insignificant small family, Meng Jinfeng, the head of the Meng family, suddenly released the news, saying that he had obtained the consent of the patrol lord to establish a chamber of commerce called Beishang.
Originally, many people thought that Meng Jinfeng was guilty of hysteria, pulling chicken feathers as an arrow, everyone knew that the patrol lord of the northern land was now patrolling the city to meet the city lord of the thirty-six cities in the northern land.
But unexpectedly, in the six cities headed by Tiemu City, the deputy city lord suddenly stood up and said that this was indeed the case, and expressed his full support, and all merchants who joined the Northern Merchants would receive a certain degree of preferential treatment in their six cities.
For example, if customs duties are reduced or eliminated, the price of goods will be reduced by an appropriate amount.
For another example, all the merchants of the North Merchants can ask them for help once something happens, however, the news did not cause much repercussions.
Many people are waiting, such a chamber of commerce will inevitably touch the interests of the major families, it can be said that it is a tiger's mouth, in case it offends the major families, the future will not be so good.
After all, what the major families have is not only silver taels, but also the patrol lord is still young, so let's see how the major city lords react first.
At this time, the entourage guarding the outside of the city, following the major city lords, was anxiously wandering.
"It's been three days, why hasn't the city lord come out yet. ”
In front of the carriage of Lanjiang City, the groom stared at the city gate, his eyes full of anxiety.
"Wait slowly, this time, I'm afraid I'll have to wait for a few more days. Someone said in the carriage next to him.
Last time, it took a day and a night to complete the full calculation, but this time, it has been three days in and is still nowhere to be seen.
The day after these city lords entered the city, several falcons came, and they tried to run in to deliver the message, but the guards standing in front of the city gate refused to let them.
On the first day, the men of the Red Copper City were forced to be anxious, and said two ugly words, trying to break in, but before they could get close to the city gate, the people were gone, and they were so frightened that they could only wait in front of the city gate honestly.
As a result, the next day, the city gate opened, and they thought that the city lords had come out, but 10,000 warriors in black heavy armor came out of the city.
The two leaders frowned when they looked at the falcons that kept flying here, saying that they were too eye-catching, and they were easy to scare the flowers and birds raised by adults.
Immediately afterwards, 10,000 archers ran out and killed all those falcons in front of them, and then these people patted their butts, and actually went back and picked up the falcons too!
And depending on what they mean, if they are not still in a hurry to get out of the city, these shot falcons will definitely not be able to escape the fate of being roasted.
On the third day, it was okay, and there were no moths yet, but the gates were still closed.
At this time, in the patrol city, the city lords of each city woke up, but they had not yet received the order of the patrol lord, so they had not yet moved.
What happened in the past three days made them foggy, and on the first day, after Li Qingyun took them to see the Pingxiao Army, he asked them to take them to rest.
It was said that the city lords came all the way, and they were tired of traveling and driving, and they were not in a hurry, although they were puzzled, but they still complied.
Then the next day, it wasn't until the afternoon that Li Qingyun called them to the school grounds, saying that they had been dealing with the official documents for a morning and were late, and then took them to see Mo Linjun for an afternoon, and let them go back.
It's three days on the third day, and I haven't been notified yet, and I don't know what I'm doing.
At this time, Li Qingyun had just gotten up from the bed and was washing.
"You've been dragging on for two days, and you're not afraid that they will be angry?"
Zhao Xue'er asked with a smile while combing Li Qingyun's long and scattered hair.
