Guo Xiaoke was furious!

The son was not only severely punished by Fang Jun in the army, but he was beaten to pieces, and even expelled from the army and repatriated home! Now Chang'an City is laughing at his Guo family's ridicule, causing the Guo family to lose face and become a laughing stock!

Thinking that he Guo Xiaoke has been rampant in the township since he was a child, and later defected to Wagang Li Mi, followed Li Ji to rebel against Gaozu Li Yuan, and became famous all the way, when has he suffered such humiliation over the years?

It's so deceitful!

"Chief, somehow angry?"

Then there was a closer official who asked questions.

"Fang Jun's son, holding chicken feathers as an arrow, is extremely arrogant. In his army, Erlang of my family was just a verbal conflict with his colleagues, and he insulted the other party's family, so he was beaten by Fang Jun and sent home after being dismissed from the army and sent home, which is really arrogant! ”

Guo Xiaoke was furious.

Although he was at a loss, his own children did make mistakes, but he has always been a short-term protector, and he dotes on his second son Guo Zhifeng more than the other sons, and now he is not only beaten by Fang Jun, but also expelled from the military and lost face. With this stain, even if he Guo Xiaoke is in the camp again, he will not want to make a big difference in his career.

This is simply a ruined future......

Several acting officials are not fools, although their official positions are not high, but they have been immersed in officialdom for a long time, and they also know a lot about some of the Spring and Autumn penmanship. "Insulting the other party's family" seems to be an understatement, but it must be of a serious nature to make Fang Jun, the commander of the first army and the head of the road, even punish Guo Beifeng despite the friendship of Guo Xiaoke's colleagues.

The Western Regions is a military powerhouse, and even civilian officials know a lot about military affairs.

The army is full of hot-blooded soldiers, all of them are young people with strong blood, if there is a fight, it is okay to say, maybe if you turn around, you will be reconciled, after all, they are all brothers who live and die. But if someone insults the other party's family, especially the mother's wife and concubine, it is absolutely serious. Even if you can't say that you won't die, you will definitely not give up. And military discipline is quite serious for this kind of punishment for insulting the other party's family, and it is by no means an exaggeration to dismiss the military membership.

Even if you are in charge of Guo, you have to be reasonable, right?

Isn't Fang Jun just in charge of your son himself, the commander of the first army, he always needs a bowl of water to be even, otherwise how can he convince the public? Besides, Fang Jun is not yet twenty years old this year, and he is already on an equal footing with you Guo Xiaoke, his father is the first assistant of the dynasty, and his father-in-law is His Majesty today, why do people have to give you face?

However, despite the disdain in his heart, no one dared to show it on his face, but he had to follow Guo Xiaoke's words and scold Fang Jun to show his loyalty.

"This Fang Jun is really excessive!"

"Hmph, that guy has always been arrogant, when he was in the Western Regions, he was just a small commander of the Shenji Battalion, and he dared to gather in front of the three armies with Hou Jun, let alone now?"

"Yes, now this Xizhou businessman, who doesn't dare to be angry with Fang Jun?"

Hearing this, Guo Xiaoke was slightly stunned: "Why is this?" ”

It is said that Fang Jun bought a large number of grapes and wool from the Western Regions, and the price was not low, why did such a business partner dare to be angry?

The commissioner said, "The chief manager doesn't know anything. Nafang Jun bought grapes in the Western Regions, a large quantity, in the farm outside the city of Gaochang built several large wine cellars, used to make wine, sold to all parts of the Tang Dynasty, this year it is said that has opened up overseas trade routes, will be sold to the Wa Kingdom, Goguryeo, Baekje, Silla and Nanyang and other countries, the profits are naturally huge. In this way, his purchase price is too low, the merchant pursues profits, he buys grapes from the Western Regions at a very small cost, and then changes hands to dozens or hundreds of times the profit, can the local businessman be willing? ”

Guo Xiaoke raised his eyebrows: "Is there anything else going on?"

Several officials glanced at each other and echoed in unison.

Although they are all from the Central Plains, they were all officials in the Liangzhou Governor's Mansion before, and they have long been inextricably linked with the Western Regions. Now that he has entered the Western Regions and has become the official of the Xizhou Assassin Mansion, he is even more intertwined with the local businessmen and various forces in the Western Regions.

Of course, there are also forces involved......

The benefits of grape making are so lucrative that everyone has long coveted them. And this profit is now monopolized by Fang Jun, and many forces have long been dissatisfied. It's just that because Fang Jun is now popular, and there are two big backers, Fang Xuanling and His Majesty Li Er, no one dares to easily grab his edge.

If Guo Xiaoke can stand up......

"That's true. The wool is said to be woven into cloth, but the weaving machine has not been successfully developed, for this reason, Fang Jun mobilized a large number of craftsmen to come to Xizhou, day and night research and development of new machines, the effect is unclear, the investment is huge, now the wool hoarded outside the city has long been piled up, worth tens of thousands of yuan. ”

Grapes make a million profits, and anyone who looks at it will be red-eyed, but why are you carrying wool?

Guo Xiaoke was a little puzzled, his eyes rolled and he understood......

He groaned slightly, his fingers tapping the letter paper on the table up and down, making a soft "knock" sound. After a long time, he made up his mind, and he ordered: "But I invite Ju Wendou and Akagi Hague to come over, and the official has important matters to discuss." Stand down, do your duty, and don't slack off on your official duties. ”

"No."

A group of officials retreated one after another, and only a few of Guo Xiaoke's henchmen remained in the hall.

Guo Xiaoke beckoned, called a henchman in front of him, leaned forward, and whispered a few words to him.

The henchman was startled at first, and when he saw Guo Xiaoke's solemn matter, he knew that he had not heard it wrong, let alone that the chief manager was joking, so he nodded and left quickly.

Guo Xiaoke's eyes narrowed slightly, pursed the corners of his mouth, his face was expressionless, and ordered the maid to make a pot of high-quality green tea. After taking two sips, I suddenly remembered that all the tea leaves came from Fang Jun's tea garden in Jiangnan, although they were all filial piety to his subordinates, and they didn't have to spend money to buy them, but in this way, it was not equivalent to giving Fang Jun money in disguise?

I just wanted to tell someone to give gifts and not accept tea in the future, but the words came to my mouth but swallowed back. The summer in the Western Regions is unbearable, and the winter is cold and dry, if there is no such tea that moistens the heart and lungs, wouldn't it be even more difficult?

It's not to collect, it's not to collect, it's a dilemma.

Bad ......

When Ju Wendou and Chimu Hague arrived, they saw Guo Xiaoke drinking tea in the hall, his head covered with sweat, and his collar was completely torn open.

The two looked at each other, both remembering the same thing.

I still remember when Fang Jun was in the Western Regions, he nested under the grape trellis in the summer, the grapes and wine were as beautiful as jade, and there were ice cubes in the glass cup, what a pleasure and what an honor?

Look at the person in front of you again, the official title is higher than that of Fang Jun, but the quality of life cannot be compared with it at all.

That's the gap......

However, even if he felt that Guo Xiaoke was not as good as Fang Jun, but now he was the king of the Western Regions, the two hurriedly stepped forward to salute, and said: "We see the chief manager, I don't know if the chief manager summons us, what are your orders?" ”

Guo Xiaoke put down the teacup, wiped the sweat on his face and neck with a cool cloth that had been fed in well water, and exhaled comfortably.

Ju Wendou and Chimu Hague thought that Guo Xiaoke's tea on a hot day was not as good as Fang Jun's cold wine, but in fact, they didn't know it. Although he sweated profusely with hot tea, he sweated from the inside out, and then ran a hot bath, which was particularly refreshing.

Guo Xiaoke raised his eyelids, and his finger casually clicked on the chair on one side, "But please sit down for a while, the official has something to discuss with you." ”

Ju Wendou glanced at Chimu Hague, who touched his snow-white beard, walked to the chair and sat down, Ju Wendou also sat opposite him, and the stars and the moon surrounded Guo Xiaoke, who was seated.

"The chief manager is worried about his orders, please just speak up, and we will all obey them."

Ju Wendou was the first to express his position.

Now there are more than 10,000 troops stationed in Xizhou City, all of whom are the elite soldiers of the Tang Dynasty, Guo Xiaoke is the de facto king of the Western Regions, who dares not to listen to his words?

It's just that Guo Xiaoke's carelessness made the two of them feel great pressure, and an ominous premonition faintly rose in their hearts......

Guo Xiaoke reached out and picked up a piece of soft pastry from the plate on the table and put it in his mouth, chewed it slowly for a while and swallowed it, then took a sip of tea, and then raised his eyes again and looked at the two leaders of the local wealthy merchant clan in front of him.

The rhetoric has been considered for a long time, so Guo Xiaoke doesn't need to think about it, since the pressure and momentum have been transmitted, I believe that these two people can feel it, so he said directly-

"The cooperation between the two of you and Fang Junzhi has been going on so far."

What is the strategy of the Western Regions, what is the basic national policy, Guo Xiaoke does not look down on it at all.

In his opinion, the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty have long been the best in the world, and the more than 10,000 elite soldiers in his hands are enough to sweep the 36 countries of the Western Regions!

The soldier is king, and this is the foundation of stabilizing the Western Regions.

The economic way is just the icing on the cake, what is the use?
