Party A is a father, and Party B is a son, which is an eternal truth.

Before the son's wings are not hard, he has to bow his eyebrows in front of his father, and he has to suffer silently when he is beaten and scolded, it doesn't matter if he is wronged, Party B can give birth to a son by himself, and then make up for it from his son.

If Gu Qing is Party A's father, then Lazawang is Party B's son, and the price is determined by his father, just like his son's monthly pocket money, it depends on his father's mood to give more or less.

From the first time Razawang tasted the sweetness from Qiuzi City, a plan for the country began.

Later, it was sent to the Lazawang shop, the so-called Tianshan Snow Lotus cured women's diseases, disgusted with the ugly appearance of wild medicinal materials, implied that the artificially planted medicinal materials grew well, etc., everything is a layout, all are foreshadowing.

This layout is very important, every step must be cautious, once it is detected by the Tibetan people, this layout will be declared a failure, and all the manpower, material and financial resources invested in it will be wasted.

So this matter is a test of acting skills, especially Gu Qing's acting skills.

Everything must be indifferent, not showing traces, and not making people feel that the money earned is too easy, otherwise once you are suspicious, it will be difficult to continue the layout in the future.

Gu Qing's acting skills are performed in his true colors, he didn't sit in front of Lazawang, half of his body was paralyzed on the Hu bed, his eyelids were not raised, Lazawang asked Gu Qing to personally check the color of the medicinal materials, and Gu Qing didn't want to get up lazily.

"I'm a marquis, and I actually asked me to check the color myself, Lazawang, are you floating?" Gu Qing glanced at him unkindly.

Lazawang said with a smile: "Then please ask the Hou Ye to send a subordinate to check, no matter what, it is not easy to transport medicinal materials to Qiuzi City, you can't help but check, right?" ”

Gu Qing said lazily: "To be honest, medicinal materials are not urgently needed by the Anxi Protectorate, after the last battle with Tubo, most of the soldiers' injuries have recovered, and they are not in a hurry to use medicine, the purchase of medicinal materials is mainly due to someone in my Datang country, who is a big pharmaceutical business, to be honest with you, people have given me a lot of benefits, so I promised to help him with this, but Lazawang, the price you want is too high, and people will suffer a loss if they accept it......"

Lazawang blinked with a pair of small eyes, and said softly: "Master Hou, the villain promised you that in the future, every batch of medicinal materials will be sold, and the villain will privately divide you with two percent, how about it?" ”

Gu Qing suddenly changed color, and stood up: "Bold!" Who do you think of me? Can money sway my mind and corrupt my soul? ”

Razawang was so frightened that he almost knelt down with his knees, and said in a cold sweat: "Master Hou forgives the sin, the villain is guilty!" The villain should not defile the Hou Ye with yellow and white things, the villain will never dare again! ”

Gu Qing shook his head secretly, the foreign barbarians really don't understand the officialdom culture of my big country, many times the official's mouth is like a woman, the mouth says no, and the body is very honest.

Gu Qing found that he couldn't get the kind of officialdom subtlety with these, so it was better to be straightforward.

So Gu Qing slowed down his tone and said: "Of course, the 'mediocre' yellow and white things can't defile Hou Ye, but a large number of yellow and white things are not necessarily, although Hou Ye is upright, but his strength is not big enough after all, if he defiles it a few more times, Hou Ye will not have the strength to resist, right?" ”

"Yes, yes...... Yes? Uh......" Razawang looked up at him blankly.

Gu Qing didn't bother to pay attention to him, and said slowly: "The money for the purchase of medicinal materials was not given by me anyway, it was entrusted by the pharmacist, and I am not very familiar with the big pharmacist, so ...... I'll give you two times the price of five times each batch of medicinal herbs, but you have to divide me into 30%, reasonable, right? ”

Lazawang silently calculated the account, and then said happily: "Reasonable, very reasonable, Master Hou, let's just settle it?" ”

Gu Qing smiled and said: "It's decided, everyone will get rich together, so every time you send medicinal materials, the quality and quantity are good, and the more you sell, the more you will earn, you understand the reason." ”

Razawang finally saw the true colors of the Tang officials today, and for some reason his mood became more and more happy, and most of his originally apprehensive thoughts were also relaxed.

The businessman was afraid that the price of the goods would be unstable, and the money on the money on the bankrupt property would be lost, but he didn't expect that Gu Houye would be willing to accept bribes, and this nature is different.

Accepting bribes means that the price will continue to be stable, which is equivalent to giving businessmen a reassurance, not afraid that you will open your mouth, but afraid that you will not want anything.

Lazawang thanked him and retired, and it was not until his figure disappeared into the tent that the smile on Gu Qing's face gradually calmed down.

Han Jie, who had been standing behind him, couldn't help but say, "Master Hou, you are not short of money, why do you want to accept this bribe?" It's also a hidden danger if it's not big or small. ”

Gu Qing said with a smile: "I took his money to appease his heart, believe it or not, if I don't accept his bribes, the number of medicinal materials in the next batch must not be so much, and there will not be too much land in Tubo to replant medicinal materials, because they have taken too much risk after all, and I have accepted bribes, which is equivalent to helping them take part of the risk, so that they can rest assured and boldly change their medicinal materials." ”

Han Jie scratched his head puzzled, the logic of Gu Qing's words was a bit twisted, and he couldn't figure it out for a long time, so he simply gave up.

Anyway, Hou Ye has never suffered a loss in anything, I believe he will not be wrong, and leave the matter of using his brain to Hou Ye.

Gu Qing pondered for a moment and said slowly: "Han Jie, you go and help me do something." ”

"Master Hou, please command."

"Ask the female shopkeeper of the inn to help, organize some women and ordinary people, gather around the door of the shops in the bazaar, begging to buy Tianshan Snow Lotus, creating a false impression that Tubo medicinal materials are very sought-after, as for the price of external retail, you can double the price and sell it, remember, that kind of scene of crowds of people seeking to buy Tibetan medicinal materials must find a way to let those Tubo merchants see it with their own eyes."

Han Jie understood this time: "So this move is also to appease the hearts of those Tibetan merchants?" ”

Gu Qing smiled and said, "That's right, the hearts of merchants are fragile and sensitive, we must take care of their moods, so that they can rest assured and boldly transport medicinal materials over in a steady stream." ”

"The last general understands, and he must get things done." Han Jie received the order and retired proudly.

…………

Three days later, a fast horse galloped into the camp of Qiuzi.

The person who came was to deliver a letter, and it was Zhang Huaiyu's letter, which was rushed for 800 miles, and the letter was sent from Chang'an to Anxi in just half a month.

Gu Qing's face changed immediately after Zhanxin, his brows furrowed tightly, and his expression was a little gloomy.

"It's a little fast, and I haven't had time to foreshadow a lot of things, and he still has suspicions of me after all......" Gu Qing muttered.

The letter was written by Zhang Huaiyu himself, which told Gu Qing that the imperial court was about to send a supervisor to Anxi, in order to contain his power, this inspector of the imperial history was named Pei Zhounan, who originally served in the Hexi Jiedu Embassy, and was later transferred to Chang'an.

This time, Pei Zhounan came with Li Longji's holy decree, and it is conceivable how restrained Gu Qing will be.

Looking at Pei Zhounan's character expounded on the letter, Gu Qing's heart sank more and more.

This imperial historian is not as easy to dismiss as Bian Lingcheng, and he can no longer be lawless in Anxi in the future, and some reforms or improvements are difficult to promulgate and implement.

Counting the days, it is not long before Ren Anxi in the history of Pei Yu, what Gu Qing has to do now is to quickly implement some of his reform ideas before he arrives in Ren Anxi, otherwise after he takes office, Gu Qing may face the dilemma of not being able to move an inch.

"Someone, herald the drum and gather the generals!" Gu Qing shouted outside the tent.

Soon, the generals of the Anxi Army gathered in the tent.

Gu Qing sat on the main seat, looked around at the generals, and said slowly: "I have made a few decisions, you listen, and then implement the order, this is a military order, there is no doubt, and I will not accept opposition." ”

All the generals clasped their fists together and said awe-inspiringly: "Yes!" ”

Gu Qing looked up and said, "Where is Li Siye?" ”

Li Siye stood up, hugged his fists and said, "The end will be!" ”

"Three thousand Mo swordsmen, the order is limited to three days, otherwise the military law will be strictly enforced!"

Li Siye was taken aback: "Three days? Hou Ye ......"

Gu Qing said slowly: "I know that qualified Mo Dao Hands are not so easy to find, it doesn't matter, those who are not qualified will be put aside first, the main thing is to get together the people and occupy the quota of three thousand people." In the future, unsuitable people will be slowly eliminated and replaced with qualified people. ”

Li Siye didn't understand why Gu Qing was in such a hurry to gather three thousand people, and after hesitating for a while, he still hugged his fists and said, "The last general will obey the order." ”

Gu Qing said again: "Where is Chang Zhong?" ”

Chang Zhong stood up: "The last will be." ”

"The sharpshooter battalion has been expanded to 5,000 people, and it will be gathered within three days, otherwise the military law will be strictly enforced."

Chang Zhong was also taken aback: "Five thousand? ”

I can't figure out why the sharpshooter battalion needs as many as 5,000 people, even if there is a war in Anxi in the future, there are too many 5,000 sharpshooters on the battlefield, why does Hou Ye want so many marksmen?

But Gu Qing just said that there is no doubt and no objection, Chang Zhong had no choice but to clench his fists and say: "The last general will obey the order." ”

"Where is Liu Hongbo?"

"The end will be."

Gu Qing said slowly: "From today onwards, your task is to recruit unity soldiers and recruit strong people from various cities in the four towns of Anxi, with a scale of 10,000 people and a time limit of half a month. ”

This military order shocked all the generals in the tent.

Three unbelievable military orders in succession, the generals only felt that they were very sudden, and they couldn't understand the purpose of Hou Ye's issuance of these military orders at all.

Unity soldiers, that is, local regimental training, are not the regular army of the imperial court, as early as the Gaozong period, these unity soldiers are not strong, military discipline is sloppy, and has always been regarded as a chicken rib existence by the generals of the Tang Dynasty.

The four towns of Anxi also had unity soldiers in the early years, and later Gao Xianzhi saw the various shortcomings of the unity soldiers, so he ordered to stop recruiting, so the unity soldiers were gradually abolished in Anxi, but I didn't expect Gu Qing to start recruiting again today.

What's the use of asking for those unity soldiers who are not diligent in their limbs and only know how to mix food on errands? And it's still 10,000 people, how much food will be wasted.

"Master Hou, is there an upcoming war in Anxi?" Shen Tian couldn't help but ask.

Gu Qing said coldly: "There is no doubt, no questions, I honestly follow my military orders, if anyone doesn't finish it, don't blame the military law for being ruthless." ”

The generals were full of doubts and dispersed, but Gu Qing left Shen Tian alone.

Sitting on the main seat and staring at Shen Tian fixedly, Gu Qing said softly: "Shen Tian, you were originally a defender of Khotan, and later I forcibly included in the Left Guard Battalion, in fact, you did not disappoint me, the last time in the first battle of Tibet, you were designated as the first meritorious, please Gong Shushu has been reported to Chang'an, under my command, there is no unfairness, everything is based on military merits, do you agree?" ”

Shen Tian nodded heavily, hugged his fists and said: "The last general has always been grateful to Hou Ye, but unfortunately he didn't have the opportunity to repay Hou Ye for his kindness." ”

Gu Qing said solemnly: "There is something right now, which is a bit taboo, I want to leave it to you, if you don't agree, I won't say it." ”

Shen Tian said awe-inspiringly: "Please ask Master Hou to command, there is nothing that you dare not do at the end of murder and arson." ”

"Lead your 5,000 soldiers and horses out of the camp to the north, look for fighters, and launch an attack on those Turkic and Turkish cavalry remnant tribes, in short, four words, 'pick provocation and start war'."
