Chapter 322: Official Promotion Shaobao
Since the last time Gu Qing admitted that he and Huangfu Sisi were friends, Huangfu Sisi seemed to hold Shang Fang's sword, and kept the word "friend" on his lips all the time, as if he was giving him a psychological hint.
Whether it is truth or a lie, the more it is said, it will surely become the truth. I didn't expect this girl to know this well.
"That's right, friend, we're friends......" Gu Qing, who was full, was a little sleepy, and yawned lazily: "How do you say that Confucius has a saying?" 'Friends from afar'......"
After thinking for a while, without waiting for her to help make up for it, Gu Qing remembered the next sentence: "Well, yes, 'although it is far away, it will be punished'." ”
Huangfu Sisi suddenly felt a wall in his chest: "Although, although it is far away...... Who taught you this bastard? ”
"I think to myself, if a friend comes all the way to you, you must be vigilant, because he is either eating and drinking or borrowing money, how can he not be punished?"
Seeing that Huangfu Sisi opened her mouth and was about to speak, Gu Qing interrupted her in time: "Don't talk about me, I won't eat and drink this time, I will give money." ”
Huangfu Sisi snorted: "Then what do you say about borrowing my money?" ”
Gu Qing sighed and said, "It's obviously ...... that you stuffed it into me."
Seeing that Huangfu Sisi's face was wrong, Gu Qing had no choice but to change his words: "Talking about money hurts feelings between friends, so let's stop talking about it......
Then Gu Qing looked at her seriously and sincerely, and said in a deep tone: "I hope that the relationship between friends is pure and clean, and does not involve any pickled factors in terms of interests and money, so if you lend me a hundred taels of silver cakes, why don't we all forget about it, everything looks forward, and the boat of our friendship will not capsize, what does the girl think?" ”
Huangfu was stunned for a long time before his brain completely digested his words.
So, a hundred taels was lost like this? And he said it so righteously and awe-inspiringly, that he forgot that he was the one who owed money......
"You, you ...... Master Hou, I really didn't expect you to have such a shameless side. Huangfu Sisi forgot to even be angry, and only cared about admiring his shameless side.
Gu Qing waved his hand, as if he had a kind of modest self-restraint: "Haha, it's over, it's over, it's over, friends are valuable, and slowly you will find more of my advantages." ”
Huangfu Sisi said weakly: "The concubine body wasn't praising you just now......"
"It doesn't matter, I understand. Women are all duplicitous, and their bodies are more honest than their mouths......" got up and stretched, Gu Qing said: "I was full, and I chatted with my friends for a while, the atmosphere was very harmonious for a while, and I had a very fulfilling day today. ”
After speaking, Gu Qing patted his ass and led the guards to leave.
Huangfu Sisi was still sitting at the table, and he hadn't come back to his senses for a long time, probably still savoring Gu Qing's character charm.
…………
After eating and having your fill, you will walk around the newly built bazaar, some of the shops have already opened, and after the bazaar has been divided into categories, the flow of people and buying and selling have become more concentrated, porcelain bazaar, silk bazaar, gold and silver decoration bazaar, etc., reducing the unnecessary time for buyers and sellers to wander around.
Gu Qing walked on the street, and the merchants who knew him along the street saluted him one after another, and respectfully avoided one side, Gu Qing smiled and saluted, and walked and stopped on the crowded street.
Looking at the thriving scene, Gu Qing was sincerely happy, if it is about political achievements, the achievements of building a bazaar are not small, and if Qiuci City develops for another year or two, Anxi Protectorate can even not need the money and grain allocation of the imperial court, and it can be completely self-sufficient, if An Lushan rebels in the future, the imperial court will not be able to take care of itself, but Anxi will be able to minimize the demand for the imperial court, and the autonomy of the army to fight in the north and south will be greater.
The round Li Sima was also in the bazaar, and when he heard that Gu Qing was coming, he immediately rolled happily and rolled in front of Gu Qing to stop.
"Hou Ye Wanfu, Hou Ye is wise, Hou Ye has sent a ......" Li Sima was so excited that he was incoherent.
Gu Qing smiled: "Talking so nicely, did you eat magpie in the morning?" ”
Li Sima: "............"
"Praise you, tsk!"
"Ah, thank you Master Hou for your praise, for your praise...... Master Hou, last night's auction can be described as a big deal, but dozens of shops were sold, a full 150,000 yuan. Li Sima was so excited.
Gu Qing said with a smile: "It's too early to be happy, there are still hundreds of shops left, don't be in a hurry to sell them at the same time, sell dozens of them every once in a while, and when the merchants have digested it and there is demand again, let's continue to sell, so that we can sell it at a good price." ”
Li Sima's admiration for Gu Qing now is no longer a simple concept of respect and inferiority, he really admires Gu Qing's whimsy, and actually came up with the so-called "auction" fame, and the result is two or three times higher than the expected gain, a big man is a big man, and a random idea is enough to overshadow his tiring and tiring hard work.
"Yes, Hou Ye's idea is already roughly familiar with Xiaguan, in short, it is not only to hang the appetite of those businessmen, but also to earn their money exponentially, Xiaguan is really blessed, since Hou Ye took office, Anxi Army can be regarded as living a good life......"
Saying that, Li Sima's face suddenly turned pale, and he looked around cautiously, knowing that he was speechless, he smiled and added: "Of course, it is also thanks to the blessing of Gao Jieshuai, and the life of the soldiers when he was in charge of Anxi was not bad, hmm." ”
Gu Qing laughed.
Officialdom, that's what it's all about, whether it's boasting, scolding, in person, behind your back, in short, don't believe anyone's words.
"The bazaar is gradually prospering, and Li Sima has to worry more about taxes, according to what we told the merchants, but all the merchants who bought the shops were exempt from taxes for three years, and they couldn't be too harsh on other merchants, and the taxes were collected according to half of the previous practice, this is to raise fish in the pond, don't rush to catch the fish before the fish are fattened, let them eat more, raise a little stronger, no matter how much they eat, the final benefit is still our government, understand?"
Li Sima hurriedly agreed.
In the past, there were many merchants in Qiuci City, but the taxes were too high, so that many merchants would rather risk being robbed and killed by robbers on the road, rather than do business in Qiuci City, this is the nature of businessmen, saving costs and profit-seeking, are things engraved in their genes.
Now the tax in Qiuzi City is less than half of the past, this policy is enough to attract merchants from the Tang Dynasty and the Western Regions to come here to do business, at first the income of the government may not be too high, but the reputation has spread, there are more businessmen who are willing to come to do business, the total amount of taxes collected by the government will be higher than before, and the new market project led by Gu Qing is also to prepare for the investment environment in advance for the upcoming prosperity.
On top of that, lowering taxes keeps the merchants' buying, selling, and business opportunities and even unlimited resources in the city, which is more important than harvesting money.
After walking around the bazaar, under the congratulations of Li Sima, Gu Qing led the guards back to the camp.
…………
In the afternoon, Gu Qing was practicing in the school field, and when his hands and feet were paralyzed and weak, Han Jie excitedly came to report that the Anxi reinforcements sent by Chang'an City had arrived.
Gu Qing was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly ordered Chang Zhong and other generals to welcome them out of the camp.
Outside the gate, on the sand dunes at the end of the east, there are some small black spots, more and more small black spots, more and more dense, from a distance to see countless flags waving in the wind, hunting and moving, scouts and forwards galloping horses, shuttling back and forth between the camp and the Chinese army.
Gu Qing put on his formal court clothes and stood in front of the gate with a blank face.
When the army was still three miles away from Yuanmen, the army suddenly ordered the whole army to dismount and come on foot towards Yuanmen.
Gu Qing nodded secretly, the general who led the army was obviously a person who knew the number of etiquette, knew the etiquette of humility, and did not dare to gallop in front of Gu Qing.
After waiting for an hour of incense, the army stopped, the forward and the Chinese army consciously moved out of the way, and a general wearing Mingguang armor walked out, walked to the front of the gate, and then bowed to Gu Qing and saluted with fists.
"Liu Hongbo, the former guard of the last general, visited Gu Houye, the deputy envoy of Anxi Jiedu."
Gu Qing stepped forward to hold his arm and said with a smile: "General Liu, it's been a long time." ”
Liu Hongbo also smiled at Gu Qing.
When he was in Chang'an, Gu Qing met Liu Hongbo, at that time Gu Qing was the general of the left guard, and his job was to patrol the Forbidden Palace, while Liu Hongbo was the former protector, in the same guard, everyone was colleagues, and they often met when patrolling the Forbidden Palace, and the two even drank together, and the friendship was neither deep nor shallow, and it was a gentleman's friend.
Gu Qing didn't expect Li Longji to send Liu Hongbo to Anxi, thinking about it, he felt that Li Longji might be kind. After all, Gu Qing had just commanded a big victory, giving him a lot of face in Chang'an, even if he wanted to balance the Anxi army, a border order was enough, and a few more generals were sent to check and balance him, the combat strength of the Anxi army would be hit, and Li Longji still had a sense of the overall situation after all.
As soon as he greeted his acquaintance, another general walked out of the team and hugged his fist at Gu Qing.
"The last general, the right Jin Wuwei Zhonglang, will Gao Lang, meet Gu Houye."
Gu Qing blinked, this man named Gao Lang was a little strange, and he hadn't seen it when he was in Chang'an.
There are sixteen guards in Chang'an, hundreds of thousands of troops guarding the capital, and the right Jin Wuwei is only one of them, and Gu Qing cannot be known by everyone.
Returning the salute with a smile as usual, Gu Qing greeted Gao Lang cordially, and was about to beckon everyone to go back to the handsome tent to speak, Liu Hongbo suddenly straightened up solemnly, and said loudly: "Your Majesty has a decree, the Marquis of Qingcheng County, the deputy envoy of Anxi Jiedu, and Gu Qing of the upper guard army will receive the order." ”
Gu Qing was stunned for a moment, and then knelt on one knee without thinking, and the guards and generals in the army behind knelt on the ground one after another.
Liu Hongbo unfolded the holy decree and read slowly: "Hou Gu Qing of Ziqingcheng County, young and ambitious, loyal and brave, defeated more than 20,000 Tibetan thieves in the Western Regions, and raised the prestige of the Tang Dynasty army in Yiwai......"
A string of incomprehensible ancient texts, Gu Qing felt that he was about to have indigestion.
Until the end, Liu Hongbo finally read: "I can enter Qingcheng County Hou Guqing Prince Shaobao, it is advisable to add Doctor Guanglu, a purple gold fish bag, and give a hundred taels of gold, so as to show the loyalty and bravery, and to Yao Sheji's Ying." Greatly. ”
The thief's eyebrows and mouse eyes remind you: ask for a collection after reading (), and then look at it more conveniently.
