"Chunshui, where are the clothes you wore a few days ago?" Guo Li suddenly remembered that he accompanied the princess to Xuandu Temple that day, and when he went out, the injured princess wrapped her hands with a hand towel. Later, the hand towel was tucked in my arms, and I forgot about the hand towel in the past few days, and I couldn't find it just now.

"Uncle, Miss has only been back for a few days, and my uncle is messing with flowers and grass outside. If the young lady comes back, she will not say that her uncle is not, and it will not be the slave who will be responsible for the crime? Chunshui handed a cleaned hand towel to Guo Li.

Guo Li took the handkerchief and put it in his arms, not understanding the reason. "Why do you want Chunshui to be responsible?"

Chunshui helped Guo Li tighten the jade belt around his waist, and complained: "Miss blames Chunshui for not looking at the master." ”

The seven souls of Guo Li called by this sentence "master" ran out of three souls.

"Uncle, where are you going to go around today? Do you want to take a shower at night? The uncle informed the spring water, and the slave was ready to boil the water, and the uncle could bathe when he came back. This time, the uncle is not allowed to drive away the slave and maid again, otherwise when the young lady comes back, she will say that the slave and maid did not serve the good uncle. Chunshui next to Guo Li, opened his eyes wide and raised his head and said.

Guo Li is afraid of spring water.

A girl always wants to serve the master to bathe, and is not afraid that the master can't help but eat you?

Guo Li likes the feeling of bathing, it is very comfortable to soak in a large bucket, and the pores of the whole body are loosened, and the feeling is cool and crooked.

As soon as Chunshui said this, Guo Li planned to have a good talk with Chunshui. Otherwise, you won't be persecuted by this girl in the future.

"O spring water, the sage said: Men and women are not kissed. Wait for Baguio to come back, discuss finding a good family, Chunshui, how old is this year? Fourteen, right? It's time to get married. ”

Unexpectedly, after Guo Li finished speaking, Chunshui immediately knelt in front of him and cried: "Chunshui will not marry, if my uncle thinks that the slave maid has done something wrong, even if he says it clearly, why tell the young lady and drive Chunshui out of the house?" ”

I didn't expect to say a word that caused such a big reaction from Chunshui, Guo Li originally meant to think about Chunshui, but who knew that these words sounded like punishment in Chunshui.

"If my uncle doesn't look down on spring water, why make so many excuses. Mencius said: Men and women do not kiss, and those who help them have the right. The slave maid changed his aunt's clothes and bathed, and it was only natural for him to fall there. Where do men and women come from give and receive kisses? Chunshui knelt on the ground, still arguing against Guo Li's crooked reasoning.

"Get up, kneel on the ground and don't you be afraid of the cold? Chunshui, is your family there? ”

This girl is too bold to manage. Guo Li couldn't say that she was a girl, and she didn't know how to make Chunshui understand her thoughts for a while.

"The slave's family is long gone, and the young lady's aunt is the slave's family. The slave knows that her uncle is a very good person, and she thinks about the slave and maid. It is natural for a slave to serve her uncle, and no one can say anything. Uncle, let the slave maid serve the aunt to bathe at night. ”

This girl understands everything, Guo Li understands. I haven't asked Baguio, and Chunshui and Xia Jiang's families are now gone. Looking at the girl's reaction, even if the family is still there, I'm afraid there is not much family affection in it. It's reasonable to think about it, the maidservant of a big family, that one was not sold into the house. Sometimes life forces you to sell your children and daughters, how much warmth does such a family have?

Guo Li said that she was just a girl, so she hurried out in order to save her face. Who didn't study well at the beginning, and didn't know that there was a later sentence.

When Guo Li went out, Chunshui covered his mouth and smiled, this uncle was a mess with kindness in his heart.

……

"Tubo is eyeing the Tang Dynasty, violating Xiao Bolu last year, and this year's heavy army is approaching Anxi City with the Turks. Tubo raised troops, and the Tang Dynasty will be tired of coping. The land of Tibet is full of high mountains, which can be attacked and defended. Anxi is worried about the land of the four wars. ”

"How do you think you can solve the dilemma?" Of course, Guo Li understands that Tubo is located on the plateau, and the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau in the previous life had an average altitude of more than 4,000. Don't say that the army fights, ordinary people go to the plateau, and altitude sickness is enough to drink a pot. Hearing Meng Haoran talk about the Western Regions, Guo Li felt that this was an opportunity.

"The Western Regions are vast and sparsely populated, the news is inaccessible, and the cities are vast. If you can discover the movement of Tubo in time, then Datang will get twice the result with half the effort. Meng Haoran made a suggestion.

After Guo Li listened, he secretly sighed that such a talented person was not used by the imperial court.

"It's better to establish an organization in the Western Regions to find out the news, and once there is any trouble, Datang will be able to deal with it." Guo Li followed Meng Haoran's topic to lead the gentleman into the Tao.

"During the reign of the first dynasty and the military queen, the purpose of the establishment of the procurator was to find out all kinds of hostile news. If there is a government in the Western Regions to establish an agency to find out information, the government decree is the most appropriate. ”

"Decree?" Guo Li asked.

"The government order is responsible for exploring and collecting all kinds of news in the Western Regions, so that if there is any movement in the Western Regions, Datang can prepare in advance."

"Wonderful, if there is enough financial and manpower, can Brother Meng establish a government order?"

Meng Haoran suddenly woke up and asked, "What does Ziyi mean to establish a government decree privately?" ”

The skylight has been opened, and Guo Li is no longer secretive.

"There will be a battle between the Tang Dynasty and Tubo. For Tubo, this defeat is at most to return to Tubo, and for the Tang Dynasty, defeat is enough to destroy the country. Tubo is not more than a thousand miles away from the capital, and the Anxi Protectorate is thousands of miles away from the capital. If Brother Meng intends to ask Brother Meng to preside over the political decree in order to prepare early. ”

Meng Haoran listened thoughtfully.

"Ziyi, do you know how much manpower and material resources are needed for such an organization?"

"No matter how much manpower and material resources are spent, as long as it is beneficial to Datang, Brother Meng will do it." Guo Li's original intention was to set up an intelligence network to investigate the news of the Central Plains, but in that way, traces would be exposed. Now, in accordance with Meng Haoran's original intention, the Western Regions Intelligence Network will be built, and when the time is ripe, the intelligence network will be derived to the Central Plains.

"Yes, yes." Meng Haoran readily agreed.

"Brother Meng can go with me to a place." Since Guo Li chose Meng Haoran, it is necessary to hand over the financial power to him.

A quarter of an hour later, the two came to Kangyi's study. It happened that the fifth valley was also there, and Li Sui led the three of them to the tea room on the second floor to ask the men to pour tea. After Shopkeeper Li went out, there were only three people left in the room.

"This is Mr. Meng Haoran, Fifth Valley is good at business and making money, you can directly negotiate with Brother Meng in the future, and you don't have to report to me again." Guo Li's meaning is very clear, and the financial power is handed over to Meng Haoran to be in charge.

Fifth Valley had no opinion on this, and stood up and bowed to Meng Haoran: "Fifth Valley to meet Mr. Meng." ”

Meng Haoran probed the Fifth Valley, and after listening to the Fifth Valley's report, his expression changed greatly.

"In the past few months, Kangyi Bookstore has earned a total of 34,000 taels after removing costs and expenses, and 13,000 taels from notice fees, of which 28,000 taels have been earned by Beijing Bookstore and 9,600 taels have been paid by notices. The book surplus was forty-seven thousand taels of silver, and according to the previous agreement, the total amount of silver was twenty-eight thousand two hundred taels. Fifth Valley reported.

Knowing that movable type printing could make money, I didn't expect that it could be so profitable in a short period of time. Of course, the contribution of the fifth valley is indispensable, and how to reward and punish is a problem.

"Twenty-eight thousand two hundred taels? It's all earned by the bookstore? Meng Haoran was obviously frightened by this number.

Whoever hears this number for the first time will have the same expression.

"This does not calculate the profit of Jiangnan, and I am going to go to Suzhou in the near future, and if it is convenient, I will open a branch in Suzhou." Fifth Valley is really a genius in business, and the prototype of the chain operation has been thought out. If Fifth Valley was born in Guo Li's previous life, he would definitely become the richest man in the Forbes Celestial Dynasty in time.

Only then did Meng Haoran know how strong the financial resources behind Guo Li were, and having a bookstore was equivalent to owning a cornucopia. It is no wonder that Guo Li wants to establish a news network in the Western Regions, and he still needs manpower if he has financial resources. There is a special need for people who are especially faithful and reliable.

"Subordinates, see your lordship." Fifty soldiers saluted Guo Li in unison. Fifty people are all members of the Kudi family, and the patriarch and servant Gu Huaien confessed to follow him to the death. What's more, Guo Li's exploits in the five cities have long been spread throughout Mupan Mountain, and Kudi is a grassland people who have always admired heroes. For such a heroic figure as Guo Li, everyone has long been convinced.

Meng Haoran looked at the soldiers in front of him and asked, "These people are all Ziyi's subordinates?" Meng Haoran knew that Guo Li was born in Zuojin Wuwei, but he didn't expect that there would be so many soldiers willing to follow.

"How to dispatch is the business of the gentleman, and all these people are handed over to the gentleman for the gentleman to drive."

"The subordinate is only the order of Mr., but there is a drive to do it." Fifty people spoke in unison.

These fifty people were selected from the clan and transferred to Beijing, and served as soldiers in the Liangshan Regiment of Zuojin Wuwei for several months.

"Kudi Xiong, Kudi Sticky Han, Kudi Mochizuki, Kudi Zhen, Kudi Ziyue is out of the team." Guo Li pointed out five of the fire chiefs and introduced them to Meng Haoran.

Meng Haoran nodded, a preliminary plan had been formed. Fifty people were scattered in the vast heaven and earth of the Western Regions, like pearls scattered into the sea.

"Brother Meng watched as he bought a shop or house in the capital as a place to live, and all the people and financial resources were handed over to Brother Meng to be in charge."

From this moment on, Meng Haoran really believed in Guo Li, and what he learned was finally useful. Meng Haoran got up and solemnly bowed to Guo Li and said, "Meng Haoran swears to follow Ziyi to the death. ”

Looking at the basic structure of the political order, how far can it develop in the future, and look at Meng Haoran's talent.

Among the people that Guo Li can trust, the servants Huaien and Meng Haoran are in the first echelon. Fifth Gu, Zhou Peng, Li Guangbi and other robes are in the second echelon, and as for the people of the Wang family, Guo Li has no intention of leaking the news for the time being. A strategist supports the world, just like a master playing chess. Guo Li thought that his chess skills were not high, so he found the gunner Meng Haoran. Financial resources and government decrees are separated, and there is no communication between them. In the future, it will depend on how Meng Haoran falls, and I believe there will be an unexpected situation.

There are still many years in the history of the Anshi Rebellion, and Guo Li believes that this civil strife can be prevented by planning in advance. At this moment, Meng Haoran is planning two blueprints, one is a business blueprint, which will provide as much funding as possible, and can also be used to help more people. One is the structure of government decrees, which initially started in the Western Regions and will sooner or later spread throughout the country. Meng Haoran knew Guo Li's thoughts. If Guo Li wants to plot against him at this moment, this great poet will also be driven by Ren Jun.
