Gu Qing is kinder than Ge Shuhan, at least he doesn't have any bad intentions towards Ge Shuhan, at best, he is just the contempt of the rich for the poor.

But Geshuhan snatched his horse before the two knew each other.

It can be seen that the old saying "poor ** plan, rich conscience" is still quite reasonable.

After Ge Shuhan came to Qiuci City, he wandered around the city and the market every day, and he didn't know what he wanted to do, so he kept asking questions to the merchants, such as why the market was so divided into such a fine area, what porcelain market, silk market, etc., and he liked to ask the merchants from the Tang Dynasty why they came all the way to Qiuci City to do business, and why they didn't choose to buy and sell in Liangzhou City in Yumen Pass.

Every day, the guards reported Ge Shuhan's whereabouts to Gu Qing, and Gu Qing smiled after hearing it, and didn't care about him.

He knew what Ge Shuhan wanted, and he also knew that Ge Shuhan would never be able to get the right answer if he asked like a headless fly.

So Gu Qing is not in a hurry, anyway, it is not his time that is wasted, nor is his money and goods wasted, Ge Shuhan is not distressed, and after he goes back, he will also hold a market in Liangzhou City according to the gourd painting scoop, and when the underwear is gone, he will be shocked to realize how sinister the world is, it is far better to be a bandit to grab a war horse to get a million profits.

"Have you seen what Geshu has seen these days?" Gu Qing found Ge Shuhan in the porcelain bazaar.

Ge Shuhan led two guards, and was sitting in front of an open-air cake stall to eat, and his noble status made him look like the king of the mountain who had just come down the mountain to do a kidnapping deal.

"I've seen a lot, but I haven't figured it out." Ge Shuhan continued to eat without raising his head.

Gu Qing said with a smile: "It's not enough to just look at it, the knowledge inside is deep." ”

Ge Shuhan finally raised his head, glared at him dissatisfiedly, and said, "Isn't it just to build a broken bazaar and recruit a bunch of merchants to do business?" How deep can you learn? ”

Gu Qing praised and said: "Jieshuai is so perceptive, that's right, to put it bluntly, it's that simple, after Jieshuai returns to Liangzhou, let it go, I wish Jieshuai a day to make money and make a fortune as soon as possible." ”

The traces of digging a pit in this sentence were too obvious, Ge Shuhan couldn't help but hesitate, chewed the cake silently for a while, and then said, "Tell me what tricks are there?" ”

Gu Qing unceremoniously took a piece of Hu Biscuit from the table and ate it, and said while eating: "There's no trick, just do it according to the idea of the handsome to ensure that the wealth is rolling." ”

Ge Shuhan frowned and said: "Don't make trouble, after I return to Liangzhou, I will use the little money left in the Jiefu, maybe I have to borrow some, and build a big market according to the appearance of your Qiuzi City, if you don't say it thoroughly, I will really lose all my money, maybe Your Majesty will blame me." ”

Gu Qing took a bite of the Hu Cake and put it down and stopped eating, the taste was too ordinary, as boring as most people's lives.

"Jie Shuai, how about we talk about another deal?"

Ge Shuhan stared at him vigilantly: "What else do you want to do?" ”

"I still have to go to the Hexi Army to pick people, about two thousand, enough people to pick, I will help you build the market in Liangzhou, I can lend you money, or I can send a very powerful subordinate to help you develop the market in Liangzhou, but this time I must give me free of charge to pick the people of the Hexi Army, and the generals below the rank of captain are also left to me to choose, what does the commander think?"

Ge Shuhan snorted angrily and said: "Are you still fighting the idea of my Hexi Army, how many elites are there in my Hexi Army, and you have been picked out once or twice, and there are some old and weak soldiers left, how can I explain to the imperial court?" ”

Gu Qing said lightly: "The Hexi Army is 50,000, I only need 2,000, can 2,000 people hurt the vitality of the Hexi Army?" Two thousand people gave it to me, I will find out the source of wealth for you, and in the future, the Hexi army will have money, why can't you recruit brave and resourceful generals? ”

Ge Shuhan still frowned and said, "Can money solve the problem?" ”

Gu Qing nodded seriously: "Yes." ”

Then Gu Qing said again: "Two thousand people will change the festival marshal from now on, Gu Wuwu will be able to calculate this account, right?" ”

Ge Shuhan hesitated for a moment, after all, it was poverty that made him lower his arrogant head, and gritted his teeth fiercely and said, "Okay! …… This is the only time, not an example! ”

Gu Qing tugged at the corners of his mouth.

This sentence is familiar, the last time outside the Yumen Pass, Ge Shuhan also said the same thing.

Therefore, as long as a woman from a good family takes off her clothes for the first time, it will not be too difficult to take them off the second time. If you come a few more times, you may see the day when Geshu Jieshuai takes the initiative to untie his clothes and sit on the ground to absorb soil.

Pointing to a personal guard casually, Gu Qing ordered, "Go and invite Kang Dingshuang over." ”

The guards left in a hurry.

Ge Shuhan was curious: "This Kangding double ......"

Gu Qing said with a smile: "He is a master, in charge of the affairs of merchants in the city, I will lend him to the festival commander for half a year, and after half a year, no matter whether the market in Liangzhou is a climate or not, he must come back." ”

Ge Shuhan nodded: "Okay, I'll accept your favor this time." ”

Then Ge Shuhan added: "This time I sent you more than 1,000 people, and the money and food that should be given to me should still be given, otherwise it will be difficult to explain when I go back." ”

Gu Qing said with a smile: "Of course, of course, there are a lot of articles." ”

For this bit of money and food, Ge Shuhan also gave up his face.

Gu Qing couldn't help but have a tragic picture in his mind, the soldiers under his command lacked food and clothing, and the subordinates condescended to go to Anxi, and the soldiers under his command didn't know what their commanders were doing outside, only that when he came back, he was already wrapped in his waist, and he was burdened with humiliation, like a beautiful girl who had been sleeping with a middle-aged greasy man for two days......

It's not easy for men, it's all about life, for responsibility.

Ge Shuhan got a satisfactory answer, and his mood couldn't help but feel much better, and his actions of eating Hu Cake became more and more heroic, like a gluttonous man who escaped from heaven and descended to earth.

The two Hu cakes entered his mouth in the blink of an eye, and Ge Shuhan said vaguely while chewing: "By the way, the envoy of the Three Towns Festival you are talking about...... Is it really the opposite? ”

Gu Qing nodded: "Yes." ”

Ge Shuhan thought for a while and said: "If it is really reversed, the imperial court will inevitably send you and me to quell the rebellion, but leaving the huge border between Hexi and Anxi, and the armament defense is empty, if the Tibetan thieves take advantage of the fire to rob at that time......"

Gu Qing said with a smile: "It's okay, I'm solving this trouble, when the world is in chaos, Tubo may not be able to free up his hands to rob us." ”

"Oh? Why are you so sure? ”

"This is a secret, I can't say it." Gu Qing smiled mysteriously, and said: "If the imperial court sends Anxi and Hexi troops into the pass to quell the rebellion, why don't I make a gentleman's agreement with Geshu Jieshuai, whether there is a threat to you and me in the rear, or if there is a crisis in the counterinsurgency, you and I should help each other, help each other, and eliminate the danger for each other at any cost. ”

Ge Shuhan smiled and said, "That's right. ”

As he spoke, the two stretched out their palms at the same time and struck each other three times, making an appointment.

Ge Shuhan, who was full, led the guards to continue to visit the market, and Gu Qing sat by the stall for a long time, not knowing what he was thinking.

Han Jie, who was behind him, couldn't help but say: "Master Hou, you help Liangzhou build a market, if the merchants and money flow into Liangzhou in the future, what will we do with Qiuzi?" ”

Gu Qing came back to his senses and said with a smile: "Money is like flowing water, water is inexhaustible, money is also inexhaustible, what we need to do is to make the basin with water bigger and bigger, I helped Liangzhou build a market and prosper businessmen, that is, I sent a huge favor to Ge Shuhan, this favor may be rewarded in the future, or there may be no return, if there is no return, it doesn't matter......"

Gu Qing's smile gradually narrowed, and he said in a deep voice: "If there is no return, it will be regarded as a benefit to the local businessmen, soldiers and civilians, and I am also willing to do it." ”

"People are in different positions, and the pattern is different. When I had no food in Shiqiao Village, I was able to eat enough and not be bullied. Later, I entered Chang'an as an official, and the pattern in my eyes is to be promoted to an official and promoted to a lord, and I have been rich and noble for generations. ”

…………

Outside Chang'an, Lishan Huaqing Palace.

In the huge Huaqing main hall, singing and dancing are leveled, and the dancers dance with soothing music, teasing the hearts of monarchs and ministers with soft body movements.

Li Longji lazily walked down the jade steps, and personally poured wine for Gao Xianzhi on the guest seat with a smile, and Gao Xianzhi knelt down in fear to thank him.

Li Longji looked at Gao Xianzhi's face, and sighed distressedly: "I have been parting with Gao Qing for many years, Gao Qing has worked hard for the Tang Dynasty to defend the border city, when I saw you, you were still a high-spirited member of the general, and now I see Gao Qing again, you have frost-dyed temples, white eyebrows, I am old, and my loyal courtiers are also old, time flies......"

Gao Xianzhi had tears in his eyes, lowered his head and said: "The minister has failed His Majesty's trust, and the capital crime is also returned to Chang'an, and he is ashamed to see the face of heaven." ”

Li Longji smiled and said, "You have done your best, how can you live up to it?" Gao Qing don't blame himself, you have done a good job, this wine should be honored to you, in order to reward Gao Qing for many years of suffering on the border. ”

Gao Xianzhi held the wine cup in both hands in a panic and drank it tremblingly.

Li Longji casually handed the wine cup to De Gaolishi behind him, sat down beside Gao Xianzhi, and said with a smile: "Gao Qing doesn't have to be afraid, in this Huaqing Palace, you don't have to be bound by the courtesy of the monarch and the minister, you and I can do it at will." ”

Gao Xianzhi said yes again and again.

Li Longji snorted, and said: "I just listened to your strategy of guarding Anxi over the years, there are gains and losses, all of them are in the past, I want to ask you now, how is Gu Qing in Anxi?" Can it be called a moderation to make a job? ”

Gao Xianzhi thought for a while and said: "Gu Qing has the talent of the world, he is really a pillar of the Tang Dynasty, His Majesty uses his talents, and appoints Gu Qing as the envoy of the festival, which is really Your Majesty's wisdom and wisdom." ”

Li Longji laughed and said, "Gu Qingguo is as powerful as Gao Qing said? ”

Gao Xianzhi lowered his head and said: "The minister will never dare to bully the king, Gu Qing does have the talent of the world, and he is much stronger than the minister." ”

Li Longji laughed a few more times, suddenly sank his face, and said coldly: "But I just received the report from Anxi, Gu Qing was so bold that he dared to privately transfer the Anxi army to Yumen Pass, intending to provoke Hexi Brother Shuhan, Gu Qing even put on an offensive posture, wanting to merge with the Hexi army, how can such a bastard be called a 'talent of the world'?" ”
