Chapter Twenty-Six: You're Making a Deal with Ben Hou!
The assassin of Xiazhou has taken office and is discussing the affairs of Xiazhou with Liu Lan, the governor of Xiazhou, so Zhao Chen handed over all the affairs of the camp to Liu Lan, and he also moved from the camp to Shuofang City.
In fact, the things on the side of the camp have been arranged, just waiting for the spring to start, sowing seeds, building houses, and the rest of the things, Zhao Chen has basically arranged them, and there is no need for Liu Lan to worry about it at all.
In Shuofang City, Liu Lan specially arranged a room for Zhao Chen, and originally arranged a few maidservants, all of whom were in the palace of Liang Shidu in the past, but as a result, he was scolded by Zhao Chen, and Liu Lan had to take people away.
Liang Shidu has been an emperor here for more than ten years, and the 'country' has not been laid, but the emperor's pomp and circumstance are not lacking. Now, with the destruction of Shuofang City, these maidservants in the harem were originally all going to be escorted to Chang'an, and the ending was naturally to enter the Jiaofang Division.
In fact, these people are all innocent, and they are all sins created by Master Liang, so why let these people carry them. Therefore, when Zhao Chen learned that these people were going to be sent to Chang'an, he had to stand up and stop them.
At the beginning, whatever Zhao Chen said, he couldn't convince Wei Chigong and others, and there was no way, Zhao Chen had to be reasonable in the end.
Now, Shuofang needs Tuntian, and he can't let a large group of big men in Tuntian lose their heirs, right?
These people are not at fault, instead of sending them to the Teaching Division, it is better to stay and make a good match with the people in Tuntian, hello, I am good, everyone is good, why don't you do it.
The reason was clear, and Wei Chigong and the others were finally a little shaken, but considering the importance of this matter, they had to jointly send a letter to Li Er, and explained Zhao Chen's truth to Li Er again.
Now, Song Shu has been sent to Chang'an, and it is estimated that he will receive Li Er's reply in a few days. Zhao Chen estimated that Li Er would agree to such a performance after all.
The room was very warm, the fire in the stove was 'booming', and a casserole was stewed on it, Zhao Chen and Tang Jian. They sat on the opposite side of the stove and listened to Tang Jian talk about things in Turkism during this time.
In Shuofang City today, Zhao Chen and Tang Jian are big idlers, and the rest of the people are busy with their feet facing the sky. Liu Lan was busy with the affairs of Xiazhou, and Li Er had already agreed to pardon Liang Jun, so Liu Lan was busy integrating Liang Jun into various military governments.
Wei Chigong was busy sweeping away the forces around Shuofang, and it was winter. He also led people to build Red Beacon Fort in various places.
In the beacon era, the transmission of information can only be transmitted through this beacon tower, and the completion of a beacon tower is of great significance to Shuofang.
So, when everyone was busy, there were only Zhao Chen and Tang Jian, holding the stove every day. Eat and drink.
Tang Jian is a particularly talkative person, of course. The skin is also terrible, and in just a few days, Zhao Chen has forgotten how many things Tang Jian took away from him.
When listening to Tang Jian talk about Turkic affairs, Liu Lan outside the door walked in with a wry smile, holding a thick pile of paper in her hand. Seeing Zhao Chen, he squeezed out a little smile on his face and handed over a pile of paper in his hand to Zhao Chen.
"Sorted it out so quickly!" When Zhao Chen saw the paper in Liu Lan's hand, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he took a pile of paper from Liu Lan's hand. Looking at the paper in his hand, he opened his mouth to Liu Lan.
"This matter was personally ordered by the Hou Ye, how dare Liu slack off!" Liu Lan's expression was very helpless, he actually found it difficult to understand the purpose of Zhao Chen asking him to do this.
Because, these papers are nothing else, but IOUs signed by him and Thorn Shi personally, and the things borrowed are all cattle and sheep that Zhao Chen asked Xuanjia Jun to go to the party members a few days ago.
was a little depressed in her heart, but Liu Lan understood that Zhao Chen would not be untargeted, and there was naturally a purpose that Zhao Chen wanted, but he didn't understand.
All the cattle and sheep have been distributed to the people, that is to say, this IOU is guaranteed by them to lend to the people. The term of the IOU is three years, and after three years, they will come forward to take it back, and the total will be returned to Zhao Chen.
Not only these cattle and sheep, but also farm tools, grain seeds, etc., will be guaranteed by their government, and then borrow from Zhao Chen.
Zhao Chen ignored Liu Lan's depressed expression and confirmed that there was nothing wrong with the IOU, so he handed it over to the stone beside him and kept it by the stone.
Can't let the Xuanjia Army suffer in vain, after returning to Chang'an, they will all have to be cashed out to the Xuanjia Army one by one!
Now that the things here have been done, we will wait for Zhenzhu and the others to arrive and reach an agreement with the Heavenly Wolf, that is, it is time to return to Chang'an.
This wait didn't last long, and three days later, Zhenzhu and others arrived one after another, and the first person to come was naturally Zhenzhu.
This guy had a relationship with Zhao Chen at the auction that day, and probably didn't expect that when he met Zhao Chen again, it would be in Shuofang, and it was obviously in the case of being cheated by Zhao Chen.
"I said goodbye that day, I didn't expect to see Chang'an Hou here again!" Zhenzhu's face is definitely not good-looking, probably whoever is ruthlessly calculated, the mood will not be much better.
"yes!" Zhao Chen smiled, looked at Zhenzhu's ugly face, and said with a smile: "Ben Hou didn't expect to see Zhenzhu Ye Hu here again!" ”
When Zhenzhu heard this, he couldn't help but sneer, and then, forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart, looked at Zhao Chen and said, "Chang'an Hou still talk about the wolf!" How to buy? ”
When Zhao Chen heard this, he raised a finger at Zhenzhu and said: "It's still the old rule, a thousand cows and a wolf, Tong Su is not bullied, whoever comes is the same!" ”
"Don't Chang'anhou think it's a bit excessive?" When Zhenzhu heard this, he couldn't hold back the anger in his heart at once, and immediately stood up and almost yelled at Zhao Chen: "You Tang people say that scarcity is expensive, and now, since there are so many heavenly wolves, do you still plan to use the original price?" ”
"Ben Hou said, Tong Su is not bullied, whoever comes is at this price!" Zhao Chen saw Zhenzhu jumping violently, the original smile on his face suddenly disappeared, and he looked at Zhenzhu coldly and said: "If Ye Hu is unwilling, then you can not buy it, does Ben Hou have to buy you?" ”
When these words fell, Zhao Chen suddenly stood up, put on a send-off appearance, didn't bother to talk more nonsense with Zhenzhu, got up and walked inside.
"Wait!" When Zhenzhu behind him saw it, his heart trembled with anger, but he still stopped Zhao Chen stiffly, and said in a consultative tone: "Can you press down a little?" ”
Zhao Chen was the one who originally stopped. As soon as he heard this, he immediately shook his head and said, "Ben Hou said, a thousand cows, Ye Hu can choose not to buy them!" ”
Zhenzhu shouted in her heart with grief and indignation, this is forced to buy and sell. Knowing what the wolf meant to them, he still said this kind of thing, but he also knew in his heart that now the situation was stronger than people, and it fell into the hands of Zhao Chen, so he could only let go of his posture.
"My Western Turks and the Tang Dynasty have become brothers, doesn't the Marquis of Chang'an even care about this little affection?" Zhenzhu sighed in her heart, so she had to look at Zhao Chen and lowered her posture. Said pleadingly.
It's okay if Zhenzhu didn't say this, as soon as Zhao Chen heard this, he immediately asked with some anger: "Since Ye Hu said that it is a state of brothers, then Ben Hou should ask for advice, Ye Hu came to Shuofang with five thousand soldiers and horses, but did he help my Tang army when it was trapped?" ”
"At the time. I'm not here! Zhao Chen's voice fell, and Zhenzhu's face was slightly stunned. immediately looked at Zhao Chen and said, "I only heard about this matter later, how can I help?" ”
"You can coax the ghost to do this!" When Zhao Chen heard this, he sneered, looked at Zhenzhu and said, "There is more." Even if you are really the brother of the Tang Dynasty, it has nothing to do with Benhou, the wolf is Benhou's, not Datang, this trouble is clear. You're making a deal with Benhou right now! ”
When these words fell, Zhao Chen did not hesitate any longer, turned around and entered the inner room. If you want to buy it, you will buy it, if you don't want to buy it, you will leave immediately, the initiative is in his hands, so there is no need to stay here and talk nonsense.
Zhenzhu saw Zhao Chen enter the inner room, stood there with his fists clenched for a long time, and finally, turned around and walked out, looking for Yu Chigong. A thousand cows is not a small number, not to mention that even if Zhenzhu wants the wolf again, he will not easily agree.
However, when he found Yu Chigong, Yu Chigong looked very helpless, and told Zhenzhu that he couldn't help it, not to mention that he couldn't help it, even if he went to ask His Majesty the Emperor, it might not be useful, as Zhao Chen said, that thing did belong to him.
The angry Zhenzhu knew that Yu Chigong was shirking, but he was helpless, and in the end, he came out of Yu Chigong in disappointment, returned to Zhao Chen's residence, and promised to exchange a thousand cows.
The time of the exchange is set before the beginning of spring, and it is still a hand over the cow and the other hand over the wolf!
With Zhenzhu's compromise, the future negotiations will become easier, as long as people open their mouths to lower the price, Zhao Chen will immediately move out of Zhenzhu. The Western Turks have agreed, are you more special than the Western Turks?
The Xue Yantuo people and the Hui people came one by one, and the results were the same as the real pearls, they were all exchanged for a thousand cattle, and the time was set before the beginning of spring, and they drove the cattle to Xiazhou.
After sending these people away, Zhao Chen's mood suddenly improved, a whole thousand cattle, and this time Datang finally solved the problem of cattle shortage.
Of course, you have to sell it then!
The people who were originally planned to be pitted were almost finished, and Zhao Chen's side had already understood the matter, and when he was about to return to Chang'an, he didn't expect that another uninvited guest came.
The person who came claimed to be the envoy of Tuli, and was specially sent by Tuli to discuss with Zhao Chen about the use of the wolf!
In today's Turkic interior, there are actually two khans, one is naturally Jieli, and the other is Turki. According to the imperial succession law of the Central Plains, the Turkic Khan's throne should be inherited by Turki, but in the end, it was Tuli's uncle, Jielilai, who inherited the Khan's throne.
Chatting with Tang Jian and the two these days, Zhao Chen learned from Tang Jian's mouth that in the Turkic world today, Tuli and Jieli have already had some troubles, because the defeat of Tuli's conquest of Hui and other departments was even locked up by Jieli.
The contradiction between the uncle and nephew had deteriorated, and now, looking at the envoy sent by Tuli, Zhao Chen almost didn't think about it, so he agreed. If it weren't for being too obvious, Zhao Chen would even want to hand over the Heavenly Wolf to Tuli now.
Next year, there will be a big drought in Guanzhong, and there will be a locust plague or something, Datang has no time to take care of Mobei, as long as Tuli and Jieli fight together, then they will lose their strengths, and Datang will get enough time to free up his hands and completely destroy this Mobei wolf!
