Just like comforting a woman who comes with a great aunt to drink more hot water, the comfort of a straight man is always sincere but can't find the point.

Gu Qing's words to comfort Ge Shuhan were the same.

Ge Shuhan was heartbroken, and he felt more and more like a farmer, the kind of pig farmer.

"Gu Jieshuai, I'm here to give someone away today, please don't talk about money, okay?" Ge Shuhan said with difficulty: "Give it away...... Help friendly troops form a Modao battalion, our Hexi Army is duty-bound......"

Gu Qing said with a smile: "Of course, of course, it's vulgar to talk about money, Ge Shujie handsome gave a thousand Mo swordsmen for nothing, which can be described as heroic and dry, righteous and cloudy, and my Anxi army is grateful." ”

Saying that, Gu Qing stretched out his hand to invite Ge Shuhan into the handsome tent, but who knew that Ge Shuhan grabbed his arm violently, and said with an ugly face: "Don't talk about money, but ...... It's not for nothing. ”

Gu Qing was stunned for a moment, then smiled.

It's really both a matter of time and a stand, the so-called don't talk about money, in fact, it's just a lip service and don't talk about money, what should be given still has to be given, the face of the winning general, it's a bit ugly to sell people, and it's not ashamed to help friendly troops say it.

"Yes, yes, it's not in vain, I heard that the Hexi Army has been a little short of money and food recently, and the Anxi Army has repaid it with Qiong Yao, of course, there will be a little reward to talk about the table, and Ge Shujie is handsome." Gu Qing said with a smile.

Saying this, Ge Shuhan finally stopped being embarrassed and nodded happily: "Ben Shuai will thank Gu Jie Shuai for his generosity." ”

Gu Qing turned his head with a smile and pursed his lips secretly.

This is probably the legend that the poorer the more hypocritical.

A fact that objectively exists whether you admit it or not is that the poorer a person is, the stronger his self-esteem, and most people who are not strong in self-esteem will probably not be poor, and it is precisely because they have no self-esteem that people have no lower limit, so there is a high probability of getting rich.

Judging from all the characteristics, Ge Shuhan has all the essence of a poor person, including the act of robbing the 5,000 war horses of the Anxi Army, and also belongs to the type of "poor mountains and bad water out of the people".

Invite Ge Shuhan into the handsome tent, as soon as he walked in, Ge Shuhan was stunned, and stood in the door of the handsome tent for a long time without moving.

The decoration in the handsome tent is too luxurious for Ge Shuhan, a tiger skin is spread at the foot of the main seat, several hollow gilt small copper balls are hanging upside down in the tent, the sandalwood inside is smoking, several low tables on the guest and host seats are made of marble, and a fire pit is dug next to it, and a grill is placed on the fire pit, and a whole sheep is tumbling and roasting on the grill.

There are dishes on the table, there are wine cups, the dishes are silverware from the Western Regions, the wine cups are expensive glass pots, the wine pots are all golden pots from the Western Regions, and the corner of the handsome tent is Gu Qing's living place, and there is a huge pear wood bed on the shelf, and the bedposts along the bed are inlaid with gold and jade.

Ge Shuhan looked around, his heart was extremely shocked, the decoration in the handsome tent can only be described in two words, that is, "expensive", basically the luxury of piling up with money, which makes people ...... Eat one's heart out.

"Phew! Upstart! Ge Shuhan secretly cursed in his heart.

Gu Qing saw him standing still, followed his gaze, and couldn't help but explain with a smile: "Geshu is handsome, Gu is used to living in the big camp handsome, and the festival mansion in the city is not very accustomed to living, and for the place of permanent residence, the layout is inevitably a little exaggerated, hehe." ”

Ge Shuhan barely squeezed out a smile: "Magnificent and extravagant." ”

Gu Qing tugged at the corners of his mouth.

Everyone is a cultural person, think I don't understand? This comment is nothing more than turning around and scolding me for being an upstart.

Bah! Beggar!

The guest and the host sat down, Gu Qing ordered the wine and food, Ge Shuhan hesitated, and asked Gu Qing in a low voice if it was not appropriate to drink alcohol in the camp.

Gu Qingman said indifferently: "It's okay, today's Geshu Festival Shuai is a distinguished guest, you can make an exception." ”

Before Ge Shuhan could say anything, the guards had already brought in the wine and food, and the whole sheep next to him was also roasted, Gu Qing held a dagger in his hand, cut off a piece of right hind leg meat from the whole sheep, and handed it to Ge Shuhan.

After coming to Anxi for a long time, it is inevitable that there will be some problems with the Hu people, and Gu Qing has also learned the etiquette of cutting meat and separating guests.

Then Gu Qing held the lamp in both hands and toasted to Ge Shuhan, and Ge Shuhan also politely raised the lamp in return, and the atmosphere of the guest and the host was very harmonious for a while.

"Geshu Jieshuai, you and I are adjacent to each other, and we will have to have more contacts in the future, my Anxi Jiefu has to face Tubo and Dashi, and your Hexi Jiefu has to face Tubo and the remnants of the Northern Turks, you and I are both responsible for the defense of the western part of the Tang Dynasty, so not only do we have to echo each other in intelligence, but we also have to communicate with each other in other aspects, so it's a win-win situation."

The corners of Ge Shuhan's mouth hooked, and he understood Gu Qing's words, which means that he asked Ge Shujie Shuai to continue to sell his brothers next time, and all the fattened brothers in your family will be sent, and I will give you money.

It's so angry, but Ge Shu Jieshuai, who is short of money, inexplicably has a sense of sadness of heroic shortness of breath.

In fact, there are taxes in military towns all over the country, and the taxes in the Tang military towns are basically determined by the festival envoys, such as the Hexi Jiefu, which uses the taxes of Liangzhou City and affiliated townships and counties, and the imperial court also allocates money and grain every year, but there are more than 50,000 people in the Hexi army, and it is still not enough to rely on local taxes and imperial court allocation.

All the income added up can fill the stomachs of the soldiers, but it is more difficult to eat a few pieces of meat, and the Jiefu can't come up with the money at all, once the imperial court delays the allocation of money and food, the accounts of the Jiefu will fall directly below the red line, which is very dangerous.

Anxi Jiedu envoy government also relied on the taxes of the four towns and the allocation of the imperial court, compared to Anxi, Anxi is actually poorer, because Anxi is in the desert, there is basically no land suitable for cultivation, and the annual grain output is almost none, speaking of which Anxi is poorer than Hexi, but I didn't expect Gu Qing to actually govern Anxi well, look at the furnishings in the handsome tent, and the nouveau riche who often use money and grain to buy the soldiers under the command of Ge Shuhan, you can know that Anxi is not bad for money.

The reason is that there is no talent for governing the city in Hexi Jiefu, and the annual tax is only the grain paid by the farmers, and the business aspect is even more messy, but Anxi seems to have been reborn in the past two years, and its reputation has gradually spread outside the Western Regions.

Today's Anxi, I'm afraid that I can't even look down on the money and grain allocated by the imperial court every year.

After three rounds of drinking, Ge Shuhan couldn't hold it back.

This time he personally sent someone to Anxi, of course, not because of politeness, in fact, Ge Shuhan has his own plans. According to the words of his previous life, he came to inspect the advanced experience of his brother units, brought Gu Qing's experience in governing Anxi back to Hexi, and also developed the economy of Liangzhou City with the gourd painting scoop, and realized the financial freedom of Hexi Jiefu step by step, and no longer waited for the pitiful money and grain allocation of the imperial court.

At this time, the atmosphere was harmonious, Ge Shuhan put down the wine cup, brushed a handful of wine stains on his beard, and said with a smile: "Before I came to the camp of Qiuzi, I passed through Yanqi Town, and found that there were many caravans in Yanqi Town, most of them were Hu merchants, they were all beaming, and they all said that they wanted to go to Qiuci City to buy and sell goods, and said that Qiuci City is now a well-known place for merchants in the Western Regions, and there are countless opportunities and countless wealth in the city. ”

Gu Qing sighed and said casually: "There is nothing to say, when Gu Mou first took office in Anxi, he found that the city was poor, and the government allocated very little money to the soldiers of the Anxi Army. So I want to make a little change to meet my poor and luxurious life, and I can't let myself be wronged in the world. ”

Ge Shuhan nodded with a smile: "I have heard for a long time that Gu Jieshuai was also a famous man in Chang'an City, his poetry is peerless, he is reckless, and he is admired by the scholars of Chang'an. ”

Gu Qing blinked, could it be that the so-called "celebrities" in his eyes were the image of an upstart like himself?

Do you have any misconceptions about Baume & Mercier?

Ge Shuhan sighed, looked around the handsome tent, and said quietly: "Gu Jieshuai must be very comfortable living in such a luxurious handsome tent every day, right?" It is enviable to live in such a golden and brilliant place in a bitter cold place outside the plug. ”

Gu Qing said slowly: "There's nothing to envy, it's just that there is more money and no place to spend it." ”

"I wake up every day on this bed inlaid with gold and jade, and when I open my eyes, I am hanging high by the bed with delicate gilt incense copper balls, I get up and dress, my feet are on the Persian wool carpet, and the guards bring me a glass cup to rinse my mouth, and hand me exquisite food packed with Western Regions gold, oh, by the way, the desert climate is dry, my back often has itching, usually scratched with jade Ruyi, cool and comfortable, it is said that it can also nourish the face, jade Ruyi is produced in the local Hotan Town, and the whole piece of jade is carved into Ruyi is quite rare......"

The smile on Ge Shuhan's face seemed to be frozen, and the more he listened to it, the more uncomfortable it became.

Gu Qing sighed faintly and said, "Brother Shu Jieshuai, you see, although my life seems so arrogant and lascivious, do you think I am happy?" Whenever late at night, when I hold the glass cup carved by the craftsmen of the Western Regions and drink the purest grape wine in the Western Regions, I actually don't feel happy at all, the life of the rich is too boring and boring, and my spirit is extremely empty, empty......"

Ge Shuhan's cheeks twitched uncontrollably, like a precursor to a stroke.

It's so angry, it's really angry......

What if you want to kill him? Waiting online, it's in a hurry.

No matter how angry he is, he can only endure it, since he saw it once in Yumen Pass, Ge Shuhan already knows Gu Qing quite well, this person has a hotter temper than himself, and he dares to start a war if he doesn't agree with him, whether it is an enemy or a friendly army, and here and now, he is in the Anxi camp, and theoretically there are tens of thousands of Anxi soldiers staring at him around the tent, how can he dare to take this bastard who shows off his wealth in front of him?

Taking a deep breath, Ge Shuhan held back his jealousy, arched his hand and asked humbly, "Then may I ask Gu Jieshuai, what can I do to be as rich as you?" Ben Shuai's spirit also wants to be empty......"

Gu Qing thought for a while and said seriously: "Brother Shu can continue to sell his brother." ”
