"This Lord Rong is too stingy!" After Rong Zheng left, Tang Bi said: "The big head has given me and still cares about the 30,000 taels of silver." ”

"You don't understand this, do you?" Guo Qi explained to Tang Bi: "Before, this king borrowed it from him, and besides, those were not the private property of the Rong family, but came out of the treasury of Guanzhong Dao; These 30,000 taels are Rong Zheng's personal property, so it's no wonder that he doesn't feel distressed! ”

"Lord, what about the 30,000 taels of silver?" Zhuo Yidao looked at Guo Qi with golden eyes.

"This king warns you, let no one think of touching these 30,000 taels of silver." Guo Qi said to the three of them very sternly: "Take this money to buy vegetables and meat, let the brothers eat enough, and take the rest away when the time comes; If the king knew that anyone embezzled a penny from it, the king cut him down. ”

"No, obey the king's orders." The three of them replied in awe.

"Lord Wang, how can we transport so many things?" Tang Bi suddenly thought of this question: "How many big cars do you have to load here!" ”

"Who told you it was going to be transported in a big cart?" Guo Qi looked at Tang Bi and asked.

"Then you don't need to transport it in a big truck, what else can you use?" Tang Bi was puzzled.

"By boat, of course." Guo Qi pointed at Zhuo Yidao and Sun Guoqing and said, "You two immediately bring people to collect ships for this king, and all the ships around the entire Jingzhao Mansion will be transferred to Xicheng Wharf for this king." ”

"No, take the order ......" Zhuo Yidao and Sun Guoqing immediately took the order.

Since the beginning of the founding of the Great Qi Dynasty, the kings of the past dynasties have attached great importance to Cao Yun, with Jingshi Luodu as the center, the waterways extend in all directions; Of course, Guanzhong is no exception, there is an extremely important canal in Guanzhong, this is the Cao Canal, which is the main artery between the Jingshi Luodu and the West Beijing Jingzhao Mansion, the Cao Canal is located in the south of Weishui and the Wei level, from Huayin to the west, all the way through Weinan, Xinfeng, Jingzhaofu and other places, from the West Wei Bridge and Weishui again.

At two o'clock, the gates were closed, and there was no one on the streets due to the curfew.

However, the back hall of the Daotai Yamen was lively, and all the officials in the entire Jingzhao Mansion gathered once, and Guo Qi, the king of Yong, greeted everyone very warmly; However, Guo Qi could see that these officials were all forced to laugh, for fear of offending His Royal Highness King Yong, who had a perverse personality.

"Ladies and gentlemen." Guo Qi stood up with a wine glass and said to everyone: "Today, this king is here to thank all of you, if it weren't for Guanzhong Dao to lend this king so much grain, grass and ordnance, this king really wouldn't dare to go west to Yongzhou, here this king assures you that these grains, grass and ordnance, this king will return them as soon as possible; This king did it first as a respect. ”

Seeing Guo Qi's sincere face, everyone couldn't refute Guo Qi's face, so they picked up their wine glasses and said, "The prince is polite......"

"This second cup of wine, this king also has to pay tribute to all your lords." After the wine glass was full, Guo Qi continued: "This Yongzhou is located on the frontier, and it is often harassed by Xirong, and this king may not be able to compete with it with limited soldiers and horses, so I have to bother you to send reinforcements in time. ”

Hearing Guo Qi's words, Rong Zheng flashed a sneer; In fact, this is not what Guo Qi said to the big guys, that is, Rong Zheng can listen to it alone, whether he can save it or not, when he will save it, but Rong Zheng has the final say, if Rong Zheng doesn't speak, I'm afraid no one will dare to move.

"The prince has worked hard to guard the frontier for Daqi, and if he is useful, he will do his best." Rong Zheng said hypocritically.

"Then thank you Lord Rong......" Guo Qi finished drinking the wine in the glass.

"This third glass of wine, this king still wants to respect all of you, you are all the ministers of your father's humerus, you are all the elders of this king, this king was offended before he was young and vigorous, and please don't hold a grudge against this king, this king is here to apologize to your lords." After Guo Qi finished speaking, he drank the third cup in one gulp, and then bowed to everyone.

Naturally, everyone didn't dare to return the salute and drank the third glass of wine.

But when the third glass of wine was drunk, Rong Zheng felt that something was not quite right, usually Rong Zheng's amount of wine was very good, although it was not a thousand glasses, but it would not be drunk after drinking three glasses of wine, Rong Zheng seemed to realize something, his eyes were like cow eggs looking at Guo Qi who was smiling, and he fell on the table before he could say anything.

"Lord Rong is too drunk to drink, everyone, let's continue to ......," Guo Qi continued to say to everyone.

As soon as Guo Qi's words fell, everyone fell down one by one, and after a while, all the more than 30 officials present fell on the table.

"Isn't there a lot of medicine for the prince?" Tang Bi, who was standing behind Guo Qi, asked.

"No more, no less." Guo Qi said: "Our time is precious, how can we have so much effort to talk nonsense with them, and send a team of reliable brothers to watch them; No one is allowed to approach without my orders. ”

"No, I will be commanded." After Tang Bi received the order, he immediately arranged a team of people.

After arranging the affairs in the Daotai Yamen, Guo Qi left the back hall with Tang Bi, and as soon as he left the back hall, Guo Qi heard a long neighing sound of horses.

"Where did that sound come from?" Guo Qi asked Tang Bi.

Tang Bi immediately replied, "Backyard stables!" It was tethered to a dozen horses. ”

"Why didn't you tell me about this earlier?" Guo Qi said very dissatisfied.

"Didn't you say that! This backyard is not allowed to enter, so we didn't go. Tang Bi said very aggrievedly: "I asked about this horse from the mouth of a small official. ”

"Let's go to the backyard and have a look." After Guo Qi finished speaking, he took Tang Bi and a few people to the backyard.

When he first attacked the yamen, Guo Qi only ordered that no one was allowed to enter or leave the backyard door, and did not send anyone to the backyard; This was also done to prevent adultery and looting, and Guo Qi did not believe much in the discipline of his army.

After entering the backyard, Guo Qi led people straight to the stable in the backyard, and the maids he met along the way all avoided Guo Qi and his party, for fear of provoking these killing gods.

Before Guo Qi and the others walked to the courtyard of the stable, they were stopped from a distance and said, "What are you doing?" I don't know what kind of place this is? ”

Tang Bi waved his hand, and immediately went up and two people escorted the shouting person over.

Guo Qi looked at the old man in front of him who was escorted and asked, "What are you doing?" ”

The old man looked at Guo Qi in fear and said, "My lord, spare me!" I'm a horse breeder. ”

"What's your name?" Guo Qi asked the groom.

"Little Man Nine."

"How many horses are there?"

"Lord Yu has a total of thirteen horses here, two of which are Western Regions horses, and the other eleven are Hexi horses." Ma Jiu respectfully reported to Guo Qi.

"You said there were thirteen horses here, so there are other horses besides here?" Guo Qi asked.

Ma Jiu realized that he had spoken more, so he could only bite the bullet and say: "Except for these thirteen horses in the mansion, the rest are in the horse farm in the south of the city; This horse can't be kept in captivity, otherwise it will be scrapped. ”

"Looks like you're pretty good at raising horses!" Guo Qi said with a smile.

"The villain's family has raised horses for generations, it's not that the villain brags, when it comes to raising horses in this Jingzhao Mansion, no one dares to call me the first when my Ma Jiu is the second." Ma Jiu said proudly.
