Zhou Qing didn't expect that the Liao people not only did not object to their activities in Suzhou, but also invited them to Suzhou City to do business. Of course, there are also conditions for the history of the thorn, the first is that the tax must be levied, the second is that the big wood must be bought from the thorn history, and the third is to help the thorn history smuggle some goods to the Great Song Dynasty, and then buy some designated things back.

This thorn history called Jerenegu is really a good plan. The common people of Liao are similar to serfs, and his thorn history can basically be used casually, and it is for nothing to use the serfs who do not spend money to cut wood and sell it to the merchants of the Great Song Dynasty in exchange for real money. On this basis, he still has to collect taxes, and then make a profit through the smuggling trade, or in a few years, this thorn history will be fat.

Zhou Qing felt that such a business acumen was also outstanding among the Khitans, so he inquired about the origin of this assassin. Luo Luo was very proud to say that the assassin was a descendant of a great nobleman, who was originally an official in Nanjing, that is, Youzhou, Liao State, and later offended the king of the Southern Courtyard for something before he was sent to such a poor and remote place as Suzhou.

He was an official in Nanjing, Liao State, and he was a person who had seen the world, no wonder he was so smart. And I am used to living a luxurious life in Nanjing, and I must be very disappointed to be assigned to a poor place like Suzhou, and it is normal to think about money. So Zhou Qing let down his guard a little, asked his entourage to go to the boat to get the spirits, and then talked with Luo Luo about the price, one asked for the price, and the other sat on the ground to pay back, and exchanged views frankly in a friendly atmosphere.

This is not just a matter of money or money, so Zhou Qing actually gave a very favorable price. Under the influence of spirits, the two sides quickly came to an agreement. At this time, Zhou Qing suddenly frowned: "Master Luo, I suddenly remembered something just now and it was a little troublesome. ”

Luo Luo poured himself another bowl of wine and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

Zhou Qing said: "Master Luo should understand that my business is not glorious in the Great Song Dynasty. I am not afraid that the government will notice it, but if I agree to the request of the assassin, this business will be big, and there will be more ships needed, and it will be too dazzling in the Great Song Dynasty, and the government will definitely find trouble. ”

Luo Luo thought that this was indeed the truth, and asked, "What should I do then?" ”

Zhou Qing pretended to think about it and said: "The government of the Great Song Dynasty is in charge of each other, as long as you don't always stay in one place, you won't have anything to do." But then I need to have a place here to put the ship and the cargo. ”

Although Luo Luo's eyes were red from drinking, he still understood what Zhou Qing meant: "This matter is easy. This place, as well as Suzhou, has a bigger bay that you can stop at. ”

Zhou Qing said: "I also want to build a warehouse on the shore. ”

Luo Luo pulled his hand very heroically: "You see where it is good, it is good." "For Loro, a thousand acres of land is not more than the benefits of a caravan, so he really doesn't care about a piece of land. No matter how big the land is given to you, can you still move to the Great Song Dynasty?

Zhou Qing was not greedy, and pointed to the West Cockscomb Mountain, which almost closed the harbor into an inner lake, and said, "I want to build some houses there now." ”

Luo Luo poured another large bowl of wine and said casually, "Okay, whatever you want." ”

Pleasant deal. In order to express his respect, Zhou Qing asked Luo Luo to hand over one hundred horses of silk and ten jars of liquor that he had presented to the Assassin of Suzhou, and also gave Luo Luo ten horses of silk and five jars of spirits, and repeatedly promised to go to Suzhou to meet Yelu Negu next time he came. Loro stayed here for one night and left the lion's mouth satisfied.

After sending Luo Luo away with Maibuku, Zhou Qing asked Maibuku in a verbal manner: "He asked us to buy wood from the government, so what should you do?" ”

The honest Maibuku almost had tears in his eyes—what a good man, and he can still think of us. He coughed and sighed, saying that they, the tribal people, were only afraid that they would be assigned by the government to cut down the errand again, and no benefits would be lost.

Zhou Qing thought that Li Buqi wanted him to win over the local Han people and tribes and fight against the Liao people together in the future, so he said that he would never forget Maibuku and would try his best to make his tribe live a good life.

Now Maibuku was completely moved and ruined, and according to the custom of their Bohai people, such friends must be made. So he pulled Zhou Qing and bowed.

Ten days later, Zhou Qing returned to Gangya Island and told Tao Wei about the situation on the lion's mouth, Tao Wei scratched his scalp, looked at the group of prisoners who were practicing and asked, "So, don't fight with the Liao people for the time being?" So what about these people? ”

Zhou Qing said: "Li Daguan said that it is best to go ashore quietly. Wouldn't it be more certain that we would fight the Liao people when we occupy a piece of land there? You choose a hundred and ten of these people, and send the rest to Tamna. I guess the Koreans will find out that there are more and more people on Tamna Island, and the Koreans may not be as good as the Liao people. ”

Tao Wei said: "It seems that this is the only way. However, my brother still wrote a letter to the officials as soon as possible to report the affairs of Liaoguo. ”

Zhou Qing said: "This is nature. As soon as I had brought the timber ashore, I sent someone to Tokyo to deliver the letter. ”

——————————————————

Li Buqi still has a headache when he returns home. In the evening, Zhao Min told him that a few days ago, Zhe Yinghui's younger brother sent a lot of things, even the original maid.

Li Buqi called Zhi Yinghui to ask, but Zhi Yinghui replied shyly that the Zhi family didn't care about her, and she would find a husband by herself. After saying that, he threw down a letter and ran away with a red face.

Li Buqi opened the letter and looked at it, it turned out to be written by the current head of the Zhe family, and the righteousness was that the Zhe family swept Zhe Yinghui out of the house, just for the sake of blood connection, please Li Buqi take care of Zhe Yinghui.

In particular, this feeling is the rhythm of throwing off the burden. Why don't you look for the Yang family for this?

"Official, it seems that Sister Yinghui will not leave the Li family." When Li Buqi massaged Zhao Min's calves, Zhao Min saw his official's frowning brows and said jokingly.

Li Buqi said: "What's the matter? ”

"Sister Yinghui was fascinated by the official, and she was determined to follow the official. Otherwise, how could a girl's family stay in our house so cheeky? ”

"Oh? How so? I've always thought of him as a little girl, and I haven't even spoken to her much. Li Buqi was a little suspicious: "It won't be a ...... of the folded family"

Zhao Min hurriedly said: "Officials, don't doubt Sister Yinghui. Officials are actually really different, and now the girls in the capital want to marry a husband like an official. Not to mention that the words of the officials are not much better than Liu Sanchang, and a poem that year made Yinghui's sister die for the officials. The slave family talked to Yinghui's sister and felt that Yinghui was indeed sincere to the officials, so he ran out of the house by himself. ”

Li Buqi asked: "You're not jealous?" ”

Zhao Min said: "The slave family knows that the officials are doing great things. These slaves don't understand, but they know that it is better to have more people to help the officials. Some officials don't even believe in their friends who have been playing since childhood, so the only thing who is more credible than those uncles and uncles is the pillow person. Besides, my aunt always laments that the family is thin, and she always wants to have more children in the family. ”

Li Buqi smiled and said, "If you say this, aren't you afraid that I will bring a few in tomorrow?" ”

Zhao Min said solemnly: "The slave family knows that the official is self-respecting, and others can't stuff people into our house, so how can they carry people in casually?" This slave family is reassured. ”

Oh, you've said so, what else can I say? Li Buqi lowered his head and massaged Zhao Min carefully.

As soon as the half moon passed, Li Buqi did not show up in the Ordnance Prison first, but went to Chunze Prison first. There he presided over a memorial ceremony for the fallen soldiers and summarized the battle of the Zhenwu Army. He stayed in Chunze for five days before returning to Bianliang to work.

Li does not give up this identity, since he goes to work, he will definitely go to court. Today is not the Great Dynasty of the Synodic Day, and the emperor sits in the Wende Hall as usual. At the beginning of the court, the prime minister said: "Something is done early!" ”

Li Buqi immediately went out of the class: "The minister has something to do." A few days ago, the minister requested the establishment of a police department to be responsible for guarding and inspecting illegal matters, but I wonder if Your Majesty can make a decision? ”

Chen Zhizhong frowned slightly, and said with a calm face: "The local government has its own responsibility to maintain law and order and punish traitors. There is a royal observatory for inspecting illegal things. The old man thought that the establishment of another police department would be a superfluous move. Do you need to ask about this? ”

Li Buqi said: "The officials can't agree with the words of the prime minister. Some words are not good for the lower officials to fall on paper, and they lose the face of the country and the people concerned, so the lower officials please meet His Majesty to present their feelings. ”

Chen Zhizhong frowned completely: "The gentleman is frank, what can't you say in front of everyone?" ”

Li Buqi said: "The master said that he was a fool of the venerable and the elders. Isn't the Master a gentleman? ”

Chen Zhizhong choked on Li Buqi, so he had to go to the Wende Hall to ask the emperor, and soon the emperor announced that Li Bu would not abandon the Wende Palace, and at the same time announced Wen Yanbo and Ding Du, who participated in the governor's affairs, Xia Zhu, and Pang Ji, Gao Rune.

Li Buqi told the emperor in the recital that the police department was the emperor's weapon to control the world and prevent subversion, and he did not believe that the emperor would not be moved. Seeing that the emperor called so many people at once, Li Buqi knew that in fact, the emperor wanted to get the police department up, but there were too many people who opposed it, so he could only want Li Buqi to break through.

Hehe, I'm going to take the blame for the emperor again. However, in order to achieve its own goals, this pot must be carried back.
