The distance of a few miles is not too far, not to mention that due to Guo Yunhou's urging, several sedan chair drivers also took out the strength to eat, and one by one they flew under their feet, and soon came to the city gate.

As the sedan chair fell gently, smashing up a piece of dust on the ground, Guo Yunhou walked out of the sedan chair. There was an anxious look on his face, and when he saw that Xu Xiancheng was indeed waiting in place as he had ordered, he slowly put back his heart that had jumped to his throat.

hurriedly took a few steps forward and walked in front of Xu Xianchun, blaming Xu Xianchun with a dissatisfied look on his face. As Guo Yunhou left the sedan chair, several godmasters turned sideways one by one, hid their faces in places that others could not see, opened their mouths wide, and breathed deeply, but they didn't dare to make too loud noises, and several people suddenly looked very funny. However, their embarrassment may only be known to themselves.

"Xu Jian, you left ahead of time, why didn't you know that I would make a noise, so I came all the way over."

Xu Xianchun showed an innocent expression when he heard this, and said softly for grievances, the tone in that sentence made Guo Yunhou feel that he seemed to have done something wrong.

"My lord, I thought you had a military to deal with, not to mention that these transports of grain and grass are some small things, and as the deputy of the adult, he should naturally serve with full authority, how dare you let the adult's labor and management care about everything."

You see, you see. Master Guo, I just don't want you to be overworked, and I plan to do it myself. You didn't thank me, but came to blame me, and the baby died of grievances.

Guo Yunhou suddenly made up Xu Xianchun's inner thoughts, and the dissatisfied look on his face gradually dissipated a lot. But there is a faint hint of sorrow between the eyebrows.

"Xu Jian, this time to collect food for the army is the will of His Majesty himself. What's more, as the commander of the army, the burden on my body is naturally much heavier. Xu Jian also has good intentions for you, but I am also a little anxious about the grain and grass in my heart."

Although Guo Yunhou did not say anything to Xu Xianchun to apologize, Xu Xianchun could still hear it.

I have the heart to say a few words of relief, but I just think about waiting for a while, once I carry out the plan I made with Your Majesty. That's when you Guo Yunhou really want to cry.

"It's the lower officials who misunderstood, Lord Guo cares about civil affairs for the country, this is a model for our dynasty and an example for all the people to learn."

No matter how vain everyone is, especially for civil officials, maybe if you give some real money, they will denounce it as a yellow thing, but if you praise them a few words, it must be more useful than sending real money.

Xu Xianchun is also a good sycophant, and he is also an expert who is familiar with the psychology of civil officials, otherwise he would not have achieved such a high status under Wei Zhongxian, and directly slapped Guo Yunhou on the back.

No, it's been a lot of sycophants. Guo Yunhou's face suddenly looked like a child in spring, it was so brilliant and innocent.

Xu Xianchun sang praises to Guo Yunhou, but the disgusting goosebumps that were waiting on the side were all over his body, and he could only shout in his heart.

"The kung fu of patting sycophants is definitely innate, inherited in the bones, and it is not something that a rough person like himself can learn."

In this way, it was transported twice in a row, and finally all the grain in the Four Seas Commercial Bank was completely transported.

But at this time, it's time to get the real thing.

"Xu Jianzhi, I don't know what you plan to do with other firms."

Guo Yunhou, who wanted to talk about this matter several times, was shirked by Xu Xianchun many times for various reasons, and his heart suddenly sank a little, and at this time, he couldn't help but ask with a serious face.

"What's this? Don't we have His Majesty's decree? Directly find the shopkeepers of the various trading houses to read the holy decree, not to mention that His Majesty also took out real money and silver, and even bought it from them at a price higher than the market level.

This time it is also for the hundreds of thousands of soldiers who are fighting outside the city, as long as they still have a little conscience, they will take the initiative and even willingly lower the price and dedicate their love to those soldiers who protect themselves."

Xu Xianchun himself is like a mirror, but his face is pretending to be stupid and stunned, and Guo Yunhou was stunned for a moment.

"So, do you know who is behind these firms? But they are all nobles in the court."

Guo Yunhou was shocked by Xu Xianchun's pride and ambition, and he stammered a little and couldn't speak.

"Hey, is that what it looks like?"

Xu Xianchun's face suddenly showed a surprised expression.

", what's that look on your face.

You are a dignified brocade cloth and a thrifty envoy, one of the ten tigers under Wei Zhongxian. And what does Jinyiwei do, isn't it to investigate the ministers of the DPRK and China?

If Lao Tzu believes that you Xu Xianchun don't know who the proprietors behind these trading houses are, Lao Tzu will return to his mother's womb now and reincarnate again."

"Oops".

Xu Xianchun seemed to suddenly think of something, and slapped his thigh violently, which immediately startled Guo Yunhou, I don't know what this guy is going to go crazy again.

"Lord Guo, since you already know these things, why didn't you explain it to Your Majesty in the court before, wouldn't it be better for Your Majesty to directly issue an order to those nobles when the time comes.

At that time, the nobles will not only be compensated with money, but also let the hundreds of thousands of soldiers outside the city know that their food and grass are provided by the nobles, so that such a great kindness will not make those soldiers grateful. Such a good thing to kill two birds with one stone, just because of your momentary negligence, Lord Guo, alas."

Xu Xianchun showed a remorseful expression on his face, but for Xu Xianchun's words, Guo Yunhou was suddenly dizzy.

Yes, if the nobles can send these grains and grass by themselves, I believe that they will not only be reused by His Majesty, but also buy the hearts of hundreds of thousands of soldiers outside the city.

Guo Yunhou was suddenly disheartened in his heart, and secretly hated these nobles for being so ignorant of the current situation. It's just that after thinking about it, I suddenly felt that I was fooled by Xu Xianchun.

Buying the hearts of hundreds of thousands of soldiers outside the city, in all dynasties, no emperor could allow his courtiers to buy people's hearts so blatantly, because it showed that he wanted to rebel.

Although his own emperor is a little unprofessional, he will never allow such a thing to happen, and it can be seen from the current relationship in the court that his emperor is by no means an idle person.

Think about it, if the nobles really volunteered to donate grain and grass, maybe the emperor would praise them in the court and compensate them with some silver taels. But this news will definitely not be revealed, and even reach the ears of ordinary soldiers, if any minister dares not to know whether he is alive or dead, and inadvertently leaks his mouth, he is definitely the master of a thousand cuts.

There is no way, Xu Xianchun's words are too easy to make people float on the surface, and even feel that Xu Xianchun is very right. If it weren't for Guo Yunhou's long-term experience in the court, his mind would have been so careful that he had nowhere to insert a needle, and it was very likely that he would have been deceived by Xu Xianchun's words.

It's just that although he already knows it in his heart, he can't tell Xu Xian Chunming. I am afraid that because of my momentary fast-talking, it will reach Wei Zhongxian's ears when the time comes, and my official position will be even more insecure.

What's more important is that he feels that Xu Xianchun is obviously playing a trick for himself, and even today's entire court is Wei Zhongxian's trick to attack Xungui. Although he doesn't know why, Wei Zhongxian inexplicably took Xungui as his political enemy.

Thinking of this, Guo Yunhou also made up his mind, no matter what Xu Xianchun did at that time, he would keep his mouth shut.

"Oh, Brother Childish Rope misunderstood me. I should have shut myself up and hid in the big tent."
