Hu Gao looked at the generals who had not been rewarded and smiled, thinking that these people were not stupid. But looking back, there are abnormalities, and there must be demons!

Hu Gao quietly asked one of the generals closest to him: "Why are these people who have not been rewarded so happy?" Could it really be that loyalty to His Majesty has reached the point of being inexpressible? ”

"The national teacher really doesn't know, your captain can sell for 10,000 taels of gold, and their official positions have been changed to real money!"

Hu Gao almost fell, no wonder these people are so supportive of emulating the Central Plains, it turned out that they were imitating the Central Plains to do this kind of thing.

Hu Gao was ready to speak out, but then dismissed this idea, because everyone thought it was right! Even if Pajachili, the emperor, does not agree, they will change someone else to be the emperor and then continue to make this deal!

Hu Gao simply asked again: "The official position is sold, what are these people doing?" The world has not yet been unified, and you still have to rely on people to lead troops to fight! ”

"Of course it's enjoyable to have money, to fight, and now we've recruited people from the Wandering Ghost Country and the Evil Tribes further north, and they're better at fighting than us!"

Hu Gao couldn't cry or laugh, the Liang State only began to degenerate and corrupt after decades of founding the country, and in less than a year after arriving in this Black Flag Khanate, he learned all of it, enjoyed life by himself, and hired people to fight.

Hu Gao suddenly remembered that the previous edict was only an official, and he had not yet been awarded a title.

Then Pajaqili solved Hu Gao's doubts!

"Except for the prince's title and the widow's brother and son, the rest of the titles are sold at the price!"

Hu Gao was shocked again, he didn't expect this Pajaqili to even sell his title, it was really amazing.

"Whoever was originally crowned king can resell the throne as a sign of justice!"

Zadabere was the first to speak: "I, the king of Heshun, a thousand taels of gold, whoever wants it will take it!" Give away the golden crown and jade belt and the royal flag! ”

Pajaqili coughed: "General, the title is not allowed to be bought and sold in the court, you have to go to Dali Temple to witness and record!" ”

Hu Gao didn't ask anymore and didn't say any more, just watched the monarch and the minister discuss the matter of buying and selling titles and official positions in the court.

The trade in the north is hot, and the trade in Jinling City in the south is also hot.

Li Xiaofei made himself the secretary of Taichang Temple, so he planned to go to the northern suburbs to build ancestral temples and altars, as well as the secret passages he wanted to dig.

Although Li Xiaofei is a little stupid, he knows the truth that money can make ghosts grind.

With the huge amount of money allocated by Zhu Yaoshi from the Inner Government, he spent it vigorously. The place where the temple and altar were to be built was to be piled up and set aside.

Spent money to build an inn, a green building, and a gambling house next to the post station in the northern suburbs.

Anyone who lost all their property, owed gambling debts, and was wiped out in the Qinglou, Li Xiaofei's subordinates would appear in time to give them a way to live and take them to the construction site.

A really capable businessman, Li Xiaofei opened a banquet to entertain him personally, and said: "Li Xiaofei, the Taichang Temple Secretary of the Great Liang Dynasty, is polite!" ”

The entourage set up the banner on both sides of the banner given by Zhu Yaoshi: "Built by order!" "Heaven bless!"

As soon as the businessmen saw this pomp, they immediately knelt down: "Long live the emperor, long live the emperor!" ”

Li Xiaofei replied: "The saint is safe, the country and the people are safe!" ”

The next thing is to drink and talk about business, Li Xiaofei was deeply inspired after a night in Xuanqu Palace, and went to the Qinhuai River to find a few women to come to play, sing, dance and persuade drinking.

"How much money will be calculated for you when this golden silk nanmu of Bashu is transported?"

"Master Li, what's the matter, you have to have five hundred pieces! It takes more people to cut it from the deep mountains, and it takes more people to carry it out of the mountain, and it takes more than a dozen people a year to transport each root. In addition, there are not many golden silk nanmu, and I am doing these five hundred pieces at a loss, just to make a friend like Lord Li! ”

"Haha, you, you said it beautifully, but unfortunately it was very unfortunate. I have been to Bashu, this golden silk nanmu is very heavy, where is used to lift, it is the cofferdam dam when the water rushes into the river, from the river down the river all the way down. Do you think what the official said is right or not? ”

"Oh, Lord Li is really knowledgeable, it was just a joke just now, it seems that making friends with a character like Lord Li is the right one! The price is set by Lord Li! ”

"In fact, the saint has a filial piety, and he rules the world with filial piety, and he doesn't care about this money, as long as you ship high-quality golden silk nanmu, the official will set the price according to the five hundred yuan you said!"

"Thank you, Lord Li, and I will give you a glass to Lord Li!"

"Wait, if we drink this wine in a normal way, it's boring! Feiyan and Yiping, you come to teach this king and the official to drink! ”

The two dancers immediately came over with wine glasses to persuade them to drink, and the Wang Daguan, who was engaged in the timber business, lay down after a few back and forth.

Li Xiaofei didn't drink a drop of wine. In a few days like this, all the timber and jade business was negotiated, and Li Xiaofei's name as a flower was spread.

Some people also secretly reported to Pharmacist Zhu, saying that Li Xiaofei's construction was slow, and he was just mixing with businessmen and dancers all day long, but Pharmacist Zhu laughed: "It seems that Li Xiaofei showed his true nature when he arrived in Jinling, a rich and gentle township, which is very good!" You ask the painter to draw his daily situation quietly, I have no good use! ”

After two months, this sea bass and vegetable soup, stewed crab roe lion's head, crystal pig's trotters, juicy western bamboo shoots, bone-out saury fish balls, pot oil chicken, clear soup to remove lungs, hibiscus crab bucket, bone-out duck, pine grass oil, eel paste, beauty liver, salted duck, anchovy shrimp Li Xiaofei are all tired of eating. So they changed their tricks to eat, what cicada chrysalis, silkworm chrysalis bee pupae also found to cook, birds and beasts also picked up mice and wild cats that ordinary people do not eat to eat, for a time even the mice in Jinling City were gone, and there were many strange dishes, many people ran to search for these insects, cats and mice, and the minister of civil and military affairs was also proud to eat mice and wild cats.

After the toss of eating, Li Xiaofei ordered people to make all kinds of novel clothes for the dancing girls and singers to wear, and made the silk and silk cloth in Jinling City much more expensive. Merchants from all over the country rushed to transport silk and Shu brocade to Jinling, and the fang market in Jinling City was flooded every day, and the commercial taxes were multiplied.

Some of Pharmacist Zhu's old departments already knew Li Xiaofei, and when they saw that it was profitable, they came to Li Xiaofei's door to do various businesses. After a long time, even the salt, iron, armor and horses were quietly loaded onto ships and sold to the west, and all the checkpoints were cleared by them with gold and silver money.

Li Xiaofei's belly gradually bulged, and his face became much bigger, so Pharmacist Zhu ordered someone to quietly send many portraits of Li Xiaofei drinking and entertaining to Li Xiaofei's house in Xiangyang.

When Hongrui and Murong Qing saw these many portraits, they were angry, so they went to find Liu Jian's theory.

Liu Jian was training with Murong Ling and others in the school field at this time, Murong Qing pulled Hongrui all the way to find it, and handed the portrait to Liu Jian: "Your Majesty!" This is what you said about sending Li Xiaofei, a bastard, to do the most important errand? ”

Liu Jian immediately laughed when he saw the portrait of Li Xiaofei Fafu: "Haha, this kid actually eats fat too, I still think he won't be fat?" ”

"Your Majesty, the maiden is down to business! This Li Xiaofei is greedy for wealth and rebellion and defected to the enemy, can you still laugh? Murong Qing and Hongrui were in a hurry

"Haha, you might as well do it, he rebelled and didn't lead the troops, what are you afraid of! Oh, by the way, you're afraid that he'll get along with another woman over there and won't come back! ”

Liu Jian completely ignored the many soldiers present at this time, and continued to laugh.

The soldiers all stiffened their faces and didn't dare to laugh, Murong Ling took a few portraits: "Just the amount of alcohol he drinks, he still drinks everywhere, I see, eighty percent of them were drunk and stole all the money, and they were blackmailed, so they had to sell themselves as slaves to perform for others to eat and drink, hey, it's really pitiful!" ”

"Brother Ling, what's wrong with you, you're in a hurry, Your Majesty, why aren't you in a hurry?" Murong Qing jumped in a hurry, and Hongrui wiped her tears.

Liu Jian looked at the soldiers who couldn't help laughing, and coughed: "Ahem, Li Xiaofei, as the Taifu of Da Liang, actually went to Jinling to surrender to the enemy and didn't come back, okay, pass the order, Li Xiaofei is a traitor to Da Liang!" But his family is not guilty, by the way, since this is the case, he will reward his family members to Taishi Murong Ling! ”

When Murong Qing and Hongrui heard this, they immediately made a fuss: "Your Majesty, you didn't punish him, but rewarded us to Brother Ling, what's going on?" ”

"Oh, and the order! All the soldiers and civilians, when they met Li Xiaofei, they arrested him and handed him over to Mrs. Hongrui and Mrs. Murong for disposal, and I rewarded him with 1,000 taels of gold! ”

Hongrui and Murong Qing were even more confused, but after all, Liu Jian was the emperor, and there was no room for argument when the emperor said it, so the two had to leave.

"Master Murong, you have to take them back to the mansion and settle them!"

"Okay, you two come with me!" Murong Ling stood in front of the two women

Hongrui and Murong Qing were not afraid, firstly, there was Zhu Xuehua in the mansion, and secondly, this Murong Ling didn't seem to have any interest in women.

Murong Ling took them to the carriage and went home, observing whether anyone was following them along the way, and sure enough, there were three people who followed all the way.

Murong Ling was in a crowded place, secretly got out of the carriage and hid in a stall waiting for those people to follow.

The three of them followed all the way to the edge of the Taishi's Mansion and made a mark to leave, when suddenly they fell down in the dark.

Murong Ling called the guards and soldiers to carry them into the mansion and poured water to wake them up, and when they opened their eyes, Murong Ling had already put the knife on their necks.

"Spare your life! Spare your life! ”

"To be honest, I can think about it," Murong Ling gently slashed at their necks with a knife

"We all say!"

"No, I want you to say it one by one, the middle one stays first, and the two sides you take out first!" Murong Ling gave an order, and the guards immediately dragged down the people on the left and right.

The trembling left in the middle, if you only say part of it, in case the other two say it all, you will die, it is better to say everything first.

"Go back to my lord, the little one was ordered by the emperor to secretly inquire about the news of Uncle Guo, and in addition, I have to check whether Li Xiaofei surrendered by fraud!"

Murong Ling sneered: "I'm not an uncle of the country, don't talk nonsense!" Whether Li Xiaofei surrendered by fraud or not has nothing to do with me! What I'm going to do and where I'm going, Pharmacist Zhu can't control it, and the emperor I have here can't control it! You give me down! Bring another one to talk back to! ”

The second person who replied said something different, this person knew a lot about Li Xiaofei's affairs in Jinling, so he also told Li Xiaofei about being the Taichang Temple Qing and presiding over the construction of the ancestral temple altar.

Murong Ling's eyes widened angrily when he knew what to do: "You go back and tell me Li Xiaofei's house, I, Murong Ling, will definitely go to Jinling to cut off his dog's head!" Bring the next one and ask! ”

The third person said more, and told all the big and small things in Jinling City in the past few months, and Murong Ling slapped the table when he saw him gushing: "Enough!" What a strange thing! The three of them said differently! I don't like to kill, go back and report it! ”

After the three of them left, Murong Ling asked Hongrui and Murong Qing: "Do you believe Li Xiaofei?" ”

The two were silent for a while and then replied that they believed it, and Murong Ling smiled: "It seems that you still don't believe it!" It's okay, you're scolding him these days! There must be more than these three people who come to inquire about the news, the more you scold, the safer Xiaofei will be! ”

Hongrui and Murong Qing were about to ask, but Murong Ling made a silent gesture: "It's good that you don't know something!" ”
