Chapter Eighty-Nine: Seeking Money
Qiu Shao'an saw that Liu Gouwa was funny, and couldn't help laughing: "Haha, Liu Zhai is really good at laughing, I heard that Liu Zhai is young, so he made something earth-shattering, and admired him tightly, so he sent a minister to meet Liu Zhai's young handsome man on his behalf, and by the way, he brought some meeting gifts to admire, and I hope that Liu Zhai's master must not refuse."

After Qiu Shaoan finished speaking, he beckoned an entourage, took the gift slip from the entourage's hand, and then transferred it to Liu Gouwa. Liu Gouwa took the gift list and looked at it, it was the two ox carts of Hangzhou silk at the foot of the mountain, and promised a lot of gold and silver jewelry, but it was inconvenient to carry, and the gold and silver jewelry were just numbers on the gift list.
Liu Gouwa knew that in this era, silk was equivalent to gold and silver, circulating in the world, and could be used as a currency for trading.
His cottage is thousands of miles away from Tang Guo, and it is impossible for Tang Guo to spend such a large price to buy a few bandits from such a distance. Liu Gouwa didn't know what they were asking for when they came to Hutou Mountain, so she couldn't help but smile and asked straight to the point: "Your lord is too polite, your lord gave such a big gift to Hutou Mountain, I don't know what your lord sent?" ”
"How dare you say that it was sent, but I just sighed every day, like a young hero like Liu Zhai, buried in the mountains and wilderness, it is a pity, if Liu Zhai is intended, I am willing to hire Liu Zhai, a ranger general of our Tang Kingdom, all the heroes on the mountain will also become the righteous soldiers of our Tang Dynasty, as long as all the heroes on the mountain are willing to be loyal to our Tang Dynasty and contribute to the Tang Dynasty, in the future, the Tang Dynasty will dominate the world and restore its former glory, and you will be able to worship the generals." Qiu Shaoan looked at Liu Gouwa and replied with a smile.
Liu Gouwa was a little surprised when he heard Qiu Shao'an say the purpose of his visit, and really responded to the conjecture in his heart, if he really came to buy himself and others, the emperor of Tang was really generous, and promised a general on the spot, but Liu Gouwa knew that the pies falling from the sky were often poisonous, and couldn't help but say: "It's just that Hutou Mountain is thousands of miles away from Tang Kingdom, and we are afraid that we are powerless, and I am afraid that we will have the good intentions of the noble." ”
"Haha, please rest assured that Lord Liu Zhai, we don't need you to leave Hutou Mountain, immediately move to our Datang country to serve, as long as you stay in the Jin Kingdom, as an internal response, in the future when the Northern Expedition of the Tang Kingdom, you will help us then, just do it, as for the daily grain and grass rewards of Guishanzhai, someone will send it soon." Qiu Shao'an saw that Liu Gouwa didn't mean to refuse immediately, thinking that he was already moved, and couldn't help laughing and continued.
Liu Gouwa only then knew that the original Southern Tang Kingdom was still fighting the Northern Expedition to the Jin Kingdom and the idea of dominating the world, which seemed to be a little deviated from the history in his memory.
Although Li Yu's poems are unique through the ages, due to his inaction, he indulged in lewd pleasures, and finally became a prisoner of the Song Kingdom, and his wife was also insulted to death, and he was also depicted with a picture of humiliation, which humiliated him through the ages, which made Liu Gouwa shameful.
Now, the Southern Tang Kingdom has the ambition to dominate the world, which Liu Gouwa did not expect, but Liu Gouwa knows that Li Jing, Li Yu and others are people who often put their own selfish desires above the national affairs and people's livelihood, and finally died of scum, and did not plan to take refuge in them, therefore, Liu Gouwa pretended to be silent for a while, and said: "The kindness of your lordship is understood by the contemptible, but the brothers of the contemptible people and other cottages are used to being rough by nature, and they are uncomfortable with the control of the imperial court decrees. ”
Qiu Shao'an was stunned when he heard this, Liu Gouwa seemed to have intentionally agreed just now, but in a blink of an eye, he clearly refused, and he couldn't help but be a little uncertain.
Seeing Qiu Shao'an's disbelief when he heard that he refused to serve their Tang Kingdom, Liu Gouwa couldn't help but say again: "However, if there is a chance at that time, it is still a good idea for our people from Hutou Mountain to grab military rations or something in the rear to improve their lives." ”
Hearing Liu Gouwa's words, Qiu Shaoan was stunned again, and then couldn't help but be a little overjoyed, and bowed to Liu Gouwa: "So good, the high righteousness of Lord Liu Zhai makes the official deeply admired, please accept the official's worship." ”
"Lord Qiu is very polite, please get up, please get up." Liu Gouwa hurriedly supported Qiu Shao'an and didn't let him bow to him, but said in his heart: How much can you pay this worship, it is not for those gifts and future gold and silver, so you are so ambiguous to promise you, whether to grab or not to rob, the initiative is still in the hands of Lao Tzu, it depends on Lao Tzu's mood.
Liu Gouwa is a thief, and he has to go down the mountain to rob him, and he has no shame in defrauding Tang Guo's money and gifts, and he is not willing to let go of the fat sent to his mouth.
After Liu Gouwa helped Qiu Shao'an up, he pretended to be embarrassed and said: "Since the robbery of the Tongji Canal, it is like a hornet's nest, Shi Weiyi was angry, and sent many officers and soldiers, and the blockade was tight at the bottom of the mountain. ”
"This, please also rest assured that Lord Liu Zhai, your difficulties, this official will make clear to the contempt, and I believe that the contempt will also understand the painstaking efforts of all the heroes, and will send someone to send some grain, grass and gold beads." When Qiu Shaoan heard this, he couldn't help but swear.
"In this way, then thank you Lord Qiu for your help." Liu Gouwa's goal was achieved, and she was secretly happy in her heart, and she also pretended to be happy on her face, and thanked Qiu Shao'an.
After letting Qiu Shaoan go down to rest, Liu Gouwa saw Tang Tianqin next to him, sitting on a wooden chair, silent, looking at himself with a strange face, and couldn't help laughing: "What, don't you know me?" ”
"I don't know you anymore, when did you become so greedy for money?" Tang Tianqin twisted a cup of tea and asked with a smile.
"You see it all?" When Liu Gouwa heard this, she couldn't help asking.
"Hey, this specious little trick, what's the use, listen to your yang and empty tone, you know, don't believe it, you ask Tang Ying." Tang Tianqin sneered disdainfully.
Tang Ying, who was serving Tang Tianqin's tea on the side, heard this, and also said: "Yes, this kind of word game played by Liu Dongzhu is ambiguous, and only people like Qiu Shao'an who are eager for quick success and quick profit, and the bystanders are confused by the authorities, so they can't hear it." ”
"Then why didn't you just reveal it?" Liu Gouwa asked again.
"What's in it for us to expose it? Isn't that offending you, Lord Liu? When Tang Ying heard this, she immediately replied.
"Aren't you all in this group?" Liu Gouwa was puzzled, today I obviously saw Tang Tianqin and Qiu Shao'an coming to worship the mountain together, and when facing the little junior sister, they still had the same hatred and hatred, why did they become strangers again in a blink of an eye.
