In the previous life, the old fritters who were rolling in the business world have always been lacking in human feelings.

Gu Qing's achievements in his previous life may not have reached the peak, but the most proud thing is that he has more friends than enemies.

No matter what industry anyone does, it's a success to be able to do that. Especially in the entanglement of interests, being able to have more friends than enemies is an achievement that is more worthy of pride than the rich list.

Of course, this also includes female customers.

Emotional intelligence is touching in life, women who have dealings with Gu Qing in their careers are all powerful characters, they are better than monkeys when they are stained, Gu Qing is not a heartthrob, it is impossible to be loved by everyone, so in Gu Qing's business circle, as long as women are treated as men, they will basically not offend people, and they can also make a few friends of the opposite sex who have no distractions with each other.

Once it comes to the relationship between men and women, Gu Qing's emotional intelligence is a bit insufficient, and the root cause is probably that Gu Qing has habitually regarded women as men, and he has never had any scruples about what he should say and shouldn't say, and he doesn't understand why there is an ambiguous pink twist and turn between men and women, just say no if there is something.

Anyone who sees the essence of the relationship between men and women is more transparent, and a sentence of "I want to sleep with you" is worth a thousand sentences of "I love you".

…………

It took more than half a month, and Chang Zhong finally found a blacksmith from the Western Regions.

This blacksmith is a big cannibal, the previous generation lived in the bones, and later due to the war of the big food, he was forced to move his family east, crossed the green mountains to make a living in the Tang Dynasty, and has been working as a blacksmith in Shule Town, and later Chang Zhong asked around for skilled blacksmiths, and finally found him.

The blacksmith was in his sixties, with a long beard, so dense that even the facial features of his face were covered, his eyes were blue, his face was very vicissitudes, and he was wearing a slightly shabby cloth robe, which was the standard appearance of a bearded man.

The blacksmith was good at making knives, and he once made Damascus knives during the Great Food Diet, and it is said that the craftsmanship was very exquisite, and the Damascus knives he made with his own hands were even treasures collected by the magnates of the Great Food Country.

After coming to Datang, the blacksmith's means of making a living is still to make knives, but iron is scarce in Datang, so he can only make ordinary knives.

I have to say that there is a craft that does not starve to death anywhere, and soon after coming to Shule Town, the knives made by the blacksmiths were scrambled by the generals of the Tang Border Army, and the pig iron from which he made the knives must be refined into steel, and the blade is sharp and durable, not easy to curl the blade, and can easily cut off the enemy's sword, which is really a peerless weapon.

The blacksmith stood in Gu Qing's tent nervously, and saluted Gu Qing respectfully with his right hand on his chest.

After the blacksmith came to the Tang Dynasty, he had a Chinese name, called Juan. I don't know which general of Shule Town gave him the name, but it probably means that the Hu people outside the territory hope that they and their families have a stable and peaceful life, so they are named Juan.

Gu Qing respected the blacksmith very much, personally helped him up, and talked to him cordially, and only talked about business after a while.

"Straight iron pipes? This...... How straight does Master Hou need to be? Juan asked cautiously.

Gu Qing thought for a while and said quite poetically: "Probably...... Be straight like a straight man of steel who is destined to die alone. ”

Juan looked at Chang Zhong pleadingly: "............"

Chang Zhong looked at Gu Qing puzzled: "............"

Gu Qing had no choice but to give up the poetic expression and said, "Anyway...... Very straight, unparalleled straight. Can you make it, old man? ”

Juan hesitated for a moment and said, "Perhaps...... You can try, in fact, as long as you make a mold, if the mold is straight, the iron pipe that Hou Ye wants is also straight. ”

Gu Qing said with a smile: "What the old man needs, I will give you all the people and things you want, it's good if you can make them, and I want not just one or two, but a large number of iron pipes, at least tens of thousands, each iron pipe is about two feet long, and the thickness is about ...... Well, a little bit of that would be enough. ”

As he spoke, Gu Qing pinched and gestured with his thumb and forefinger.

Juan nodded: "You can try, but it may not satisfy Hou Ye, after all, I don't know how straight the iron pipe Hou Ye needs." ”

Gu Qing said again: "It's not enough to make an iron pipe, I want to add a few yang wires on the inner wall of the iron pipe, can I add a spiral yang line?" ”

Juan was stunned for a moment, and said, "Old man and courage, may I ask Master Hou, what do you want this kind of iron pipe for?" ”

Gu Qing smiled and said: "Because I had a dream last month, a white-bearded old fairy gave me a dream, saying that if I make a batch of such pipes, I can bless me with a fortune......

Juan and Chang Zhong were stunned, what kind of old immortal is so perverted?

"But, but...... Why is the inner wall of this straight pipe added with a yang line? Why? ”

Craftsmen are often very curious, and they must know why everything is so.

Gu Qing still smiled: "The old immortal said, the inner wall plus the yang line hurts even more, and when you meet the kind of person who likes to ask questions blindly, you will smash it down with a tube, and keep it to shut up." ”

Juan's old face changed, and he immediately shut up.

Gu Qing glanced at the two with a smile on his face: "Are there any more questions?" ”

"No, no."

"Can the inner wall of the iron pipe be made with a yang line?"

Juan pondered for a moment and said: "Hou Ye forgives the sin, the old man does not dare to pack the ticket, he can only say that he tries his best, mainly depending on how the mold is made, or use a scraper to directly carve out a few spiral yin lines, and then scrape off the yin line part, and dig out the yang line, this move is very time-consuming, if the Hou Ye needs a large number of iron pipes, I am afraid it will be difficult for the old man to make a difference." ”

Gu Qing snorted and said, "Then please ask the old man to give it a try, if it can be done, I will recruit all the blacksmiths in the Western Regions to be your apprentice." ”

Juan bowed down and stroked his chest with his right hand, and said respectfully: "I will live up to the trust of the Hou Ye." ”

…………

Making this batch of iron pipes is the most unspeakable secret in Gu Qing's heart, this secret is very fatal, either his own life or Li Tangjiangshan's life, and it can be regarded as the first killer weapon that Gu Qing prepared for himself after coming to this world.

For this killer feature, Gu Qing laid out in advance and gave Chang Zhong a death order to recruit five thousand divine marksman battalions, which was also a foreshadowing, a foreshadowing for the construction of an invincible army in the world.

It takes capital to stand in the world, and Gu Qing's capital is a rare ability that cannot be imagined in this era, and one day, he will shock the world.

It was still a hot day, Gu Qing was lying in the tent like a piece of flour that was being fried, and he was so hot that his brain was dazed, and he hesitated to take his guards to camp by the Chihe River again, where he could at least fish and bathe.

When he was hesitating, Han Jie's voice came from outside the tent.

"Master Hou, something happened."

Gu Qing's heart tightened, and he immediately turned over and said in a deep voice: "Come in and say." ”

Han Jie walked into the tent and said with a solemn face: "Master Hou, the right minister Yang Guozhong has allocated 10,000 war horses, 20,000 weapons and 500,000 arrows and crossbows to Anxi, and the people who escorted the war horses and weapons have arrived at the camp......

Gu Qing sighed and said, "Tell me, something happened." ”

Han Jie hesitated: "Let's let the escort person." ”

Saying that, Han Jie opened the door curtain, and a general in armor walked into the tent, saluted Gu Qing first, and then said with a sad face: "The last general is the right Jin Wuwei Lieutenant, who was ordered by Yang Xiang to escort 10,000 war horses and 20,000 weapons to Anxi, but there was an accident on the way......

"What accident?"

"The last general was ordered to lead two thousand Jinwu guards and five thousand people to escort war horses and weapons, originally the road was peaceful, who knew that when the road passed through Liangzhou, was stopped by Ge Shuhan, the envoy of Hexi Jiedu, Geshu Jieshuai had to entertain the last general, invited the last general to drink a banquet that night, after the last general went to the banquet and came back, he found that the escorted horses and weapons were taken care of by the soldiers of the Hexi Jiedu Embassy, saying that it was under the military order of Geshu Jie Shuai to protect our war horses and weapons from being robbed, and the Jinwu guards we escorted were not allowed to approach......"

"The last general suddenly felt bad, and wanted to ask to see Geshu Jieshuai again, but was refused, the next morning, Geshu Jieshuai sent someone to tell the last general, the war horse and weapons were returned, let me wait on the road, the last general deliberately counted, the war horses and weapons are not missing......"

Gu Qing said strangely: "Since the number is not bad, why did you say that something happened?" ”

The general said with a sad face: "There are indeed a lot of them, but ...... The quality of the war horses is different, at least 5,000 war horses have been dropped, and the 10,000 war horses allocated by Yang Xiang are all good horses that are strong and strong about three or four years old, and as a result, 5,000 war horses have been replaced by old horses that are frail and sickly in their teens......"

Gu Qing was stunned for a moment, and then the whole person exploded, and he slammed the case, and said angrily: "Ge Shuhan dares to rob my war horse? ”

The lieutenant was so frightened that he trembled, hung his head and said: "After the last general found out that the war horse was dropped, he immediately went back to the Jiedu embassy to ask for a visit to Geshu Jieshuai, and wanted an explanation, but Geshu Jieshuai avoided it, and his subordinates also said that there was no such thing as dropping the bag, and the last general was a major general, and he was in the territory of the Jiedu envoy in Hexi, so he didn't dare to conflict with it, so he had to bring the war horse and weapons to Anxi ......"

Gu Qing smiled angrily: "I originally thought that in the field of 'shameless', no one was better than me, but I didn't expect Ge Shuhan to be unwilling to let me specialize in beauty, haha, what a brother Shuhan, the shameless idea hit me, I really thought that I Gu Qing was a vegetarian." ”

Han Jie said with a cold face: "Master Hou, this matter must not be good, otherwise there will be one and two." The territory of the Hexi Jiedu envoy happens to be the only way from Chang'an to Anxi, and it cannot be bypassed. If we swallow our anger this time, no matter how much food, weapons and war horses the imperial court allocates to Anxi in the future, they will be intercepted or dropped by Ge Shuhan halfway, and we will suffer a big loss! ”

Gu Qing took a deep breath and said, "Let's salute first and then soldiers, let Duan Wuji come in, write an official letter to Ge Shuhan in my name, inquire about the whole matter, and ask Ge Shuhan to return my five thousand war horses as soon as possible......"

Han Jie frowned and said, "Master Hou, Ge Shuhan dares to do this, I'm afraid he won't care about Lord Hou's official letter......

Gu Qing sneered: "The official letter is not for him, but for the emperor and courtiers of the Chang'an court, I fight according to the etiquette, there is reason and evidence, if Brother Shuhan does not return it, I will occupy the reason again." ”
