Chapter 260: The team marched towards Beijing
Li Longji ate a good meal, it was originally the amount of two people, and he let him eat it, and he took the Dashan Cha Pill and chewed it in his mouth.
Gao Lishi only ate it, kept smelling it, swallowed his saliva, and decided to take the time to go to the Zhuangyuan Building to see if it could be about the same, it was also opened by the Zhang family.
The palace maid next to her brought tea, and the two of them slowly drank it and looked at the information sent, and talked from time to time about how they would choose in that situation.
I don't know who apologized and spread the news that the emperor ate the things sent to Yizhou, and in a short period of time, many people who paid attention to this place knew about it.
After the ministers heard it, they didn't react, Xiaobao and Juan Juan did not dare to poison the things they had specially sent? What's more, the emperor can't eat first.
The concubines in the palace didn't feel anything after hearing it, isn't the emperor okay now, but the people in the imperial kitchen are different from others when they hear it, and it is their own work to cook and eat for the emperor, and now they are robbed.
Immediately, the eunuch in charge of the imperial kitchen came over, did not dare to enter the palace, and cried silently outside, mainly because the pressure was too great, and it was nothing to change someone to send food, but only the Zhang family could not do it, the Zhang family still had a restaurant in the capital, in case the emperor was happy, the current imperial kitchen was withdrawn, and it was replaced by the Zhang family, how would he manage it in the future? Can you still buy an egg for five cents?
Li Longji and Gao Lishi didn't know that someone was crying aggrievedly, and they looked at the information to discuss things, and the people guarding outside saw someone crying, but they couldn't report it, and the emperor was happy, and he couldn't afford to be offended, and it was not a major military matter.
The little eunuch could only secretly wipe his tears there alone, thinking in his heart what was it for the emperor to eat, and whether the imperial kitchen should also make something.
"Lux, you said that Zhang Zhong came back after the New Year, how should I arrange it? Xiaobao and Juan Juan can't always be kept at home. After Li Longji read the materials he believed, he asked Colliers with emotion.
"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that Zhang Zhong is going to Luoyang to stay there for at least a year, otherwise when he returns to the capital, it is easy to be unable to cope with all aspects of things, as for Xiaobao and Juan Juan, you can put the two of them in Luoyang as a petty official, and it is good to be a master or a county official."
Colliers gave a slight consideration to the next roundabout.
Li Longji nodded in approval of the first arrangement, and had his own thoughts about the second arrangement, "Then it is better to arrange it to Wannian County, at the foot of the capital, you can usually take a look at it, don't the two families of Zhang Wang still have four babies?" Usually rare two are not afraid. ”
"This ...... The minister thought it would be better to ask them when he came back. Gao Lishi also wanted to arrange the two little ones with him, but he was worried that his family would not do it.
Li Longji didn't speak this time, and he recognized Gao Lishi's proposal, and at this time, the sky outside was overcast again, and a gust of wind mixed with snowflakes blew in from the open temple door, and melted and disappeared in the air.
Li Longji felt the coolness of the sudden arrival, and then looked at the house that his nephew repaired, and sighed, "Hey~!" I don't know if there will be heavy snow this year, it will rain for a few days in a row, and there should be a disaster in another place, if there is also a lot of snow in Yizhou, they may not be able to start immediately after the New Year, it is better to let them come back now, so as not to block the road with heavy snow. ”
"It's better to ask first, otherwise you will have to spend the New Year on the road." Colliers was worried that it would be uncomfortable to celebrate the New Year on the road.
Li Longji discussed the matter with Gao Lishi, and soon let people send it to Yizhou by military post.
Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan commanded people to be busy quietly, and the 300,000 yuan they earned, they didn't want to use it on the local people, they already took care of the local people in other ways, and the money was used for other purposes.
"Xiaobao, when do you think they will find out? I'm afraid they won't do it. Wang Juan held a snowball and gently rubbed it on his hand and asked Zhang Xiaobao.
"Don't be afraid, I don't believe they will trade kindly, when the time comes, everyone will be even, winter, I hope this year's snow will be even, don't fall in one place, when there is a shortage of water in some places, and some places are affected, we can't just watch it, manpower is powerless and needs to be divided into a part, which will affect the arrangements after going back."
Zhang Xiaobao is afraid of the muddy road when the snow melts, especially in the current place, and when he goes back, he can't take a boat to the Yellow River or the Yangtze River.
"Then go back early, don't celebrate the New Year here, you have to make other arrangements, it's nothing to celebrate the New Year on the road, the family is together, anywhere."
Wang Juan always felt that it was a waste of time here, and if he really wanted to help the local area, he didn't need to put the two families in Yizhou, just arrange a few people from the inner courtyard, and after a while, the officials of Jiannan Province would no longer listen to their own orders.
When the two of them were discussing things, a letter from Colliers came, asking if he would like to go back early, and he was happy with the two of them, let others watch the work, and hurried home to discuss.
No matter where the family celebrates the New Year, everything is dominated by Xiaobao and Juanjuan, providing a very good development environment for the two.
The matter of leaving was settled, and the people of Yizhou stopped doing it after hearing about it, they usually didn't ask Zhang Zhong to do anything for them, as long as Zhang Zhong stayed in Yizhou, they were relieved, and now they heard that Zhang Zhong was going to leave for a year, and the patriarchs came to persuade each other.
Zhang Zhong has decided that he has made a decision, so he can only comfort the patriarchs to have time to go to him, or wait for the time to come over by himself, usually as long as there are manpower, they will arrange to send news here, and bring special products from other places for everyone to taste.
Seeing that they couldn't keep it, the people also knew that Zhang Zhong had a better future, so they began to prepare things at home for Zhang Zhong to bring, and sent the young people in the family to go with Zhang Zhong, one was to listen to Zhang Zhong's words, and the other had the opportunity to learn more things.
Kemu and Ji also watched in Yizhou, and finally breathed a sigh of relief when they heard that Zhang and Wang were leaving, but seeing that Zhang Zhong was so supported by the people, he no longer had the slightest doubt about the words of the Demon Juan, only relying on the people's will, she would definitely form a large army in a short period of time, plus the financial resources of the two families, that is, to fight and fight, not to bluff people.
The two little babies of the Qianghu family have just learned to speak, and they usually know how to wash their hands before eating and after playing, so he hesitates, and finally gritted his teeth and let Zhang Zhong take him away.
When the matter of leaving was almost ready, the cattle of Tubo were also sent to Guanwai, waiting for the handover, and 5,000 troops were also sent to escort them.
Wang Juan and Zhang Xiaobao set off with only a group of people carrying grain, and Shui Yun followed, and there were no other guards.
Ke Mu looked at it and secretly praised it for his courage.
After a few days, the grain transported in front of the gate arrived outside the customs first, Wang Juan accompanied by Zhang Xiaobao rode out of the horse, facing the 5,000 troops of Tubo, step by step, 5,000 people retreated step by step, not daring to look directly at Wang Juan, so that the people responsible for transporting grain were excited, this is the majesty.
The people in Tubo who were responsible for transporting livestock couldn't say a word, and the dignified army of 5,000 couldn't raise their heads when they were pressed by the opponent's double horse, what else did they say?
Wang Juan nodded with satisfaction, and said to Ke Mu Jiji: "You can exchange, Shangwei." ”
Weigh the grain first, weigh the grain that arrived first this time, and then weigh the livestock according to the price.
Seeing this situation, Kemu Ji was stunned, and when the corresponding animals were replaced, before he could ask, he smelled a burst of stench.
Whether it is the changed animals or not, most of them have diarrhea.
Kemu Ji was shocked, he didn't know that the animals that needed to be exchanged were watered, no wonder Juan Juan let people be medicated, it turned out that he had already known, what should I do?
Kemu looked at Wang Juan worriedly, and Wang Juan smiled back at him.
"This, this is the case, our Tibetan cattle ......"
"It's okay, I can understand, understand each other, let people go and pour medicine, I brought a lot of medicine this time." Wang Juan still had a smile on his face.
Kemu Jiji didn't know whether it was true or false, took a closer look at Wang Juan, and found that the other party didn't seem to be angry, so he wiped the sweat that had just oozing out of his forehead, and said with a smile: "Yes, mutual understanding, we can understand, it should be so, irrigation, immediately irrigation." ”
With an order, the people of Tubo took the medicine brought by the Tang people and began to pour it into the livestock.
When it was being poured, a Tibetan man opened a bag of millet, grabbed it and looked at it, and shouted to Kemu Jiji: "They mix sand into the rice, and at least one percent of this handful of rice is sand." ”
Kemu Jiji was stunned when he heard this, and turned his head to look at Wang Juan, wanting an explanation.
Wang Juan pointed to the animals that were still being medicated, and said: "It may be that the people of the Tang Dynasty, Chen Michen, have been for a long time, and now I can compensate for it, and I will exchange it for new grain at a higher price, hey~!" Understand each other, or your 5,000 troops ......."
"Understand, understand, it's been a long time, it's really been a long time, the army is afraid of the people, peacetime, it's not for war." Kemu Jiji figured out a lot of things, knew why Wang Juan didn't investigate the matter of irrigating the livestock, and knew why they were willing to increase the price of 10% to exchange the old grain for the old grain.
It's too tricky, how can you get all the sand out of the rice, who is the one who gives the water to the animals? Wang Juan, how did they know? How much can livestock be irrigated with 10% of sand mixed with rice? If you don't pour it, you can ask for an explanation.
Now it looks like it's flat, but it's not like that at all.
The people of Tibet also considered that they had been flooded with water, so they could only reluctantly accept it, hoping that they could pick it up first, otherwise they would not be able to eat enough of the grain with sand when the grain was distributed.
The cattle were watered and had diarrhea, some died, some were fine, and the dead Wang Juan also wanted it, but the price was reduced by half, and only some meat money was given, and when the living were almost cured, all the grain was brought over.
As a result, in the past few days, the livestock has become thinner, and they have not finished replacing the grain they have transported, but when they came over, they weighed it so that they could replace all the food prepared by Datang.
One is that the weight of livestock is insufficient, and the part that dies, and the second point is that Datang's grain is one percent more than one percent, and the livestock is also one percent more.
Kemu Ji looked at the rest of the grain, and then looked at Wang Juan, which means, what should I do?
"I'm a good talker, the grain is here, I can't take it back, it's not easy to Tubo, in this way, in the army you came, I see that there are hundreds of horses, plus weapons, bring them all, and give you all the rest of the food, I will lose a little, if you don't want to change, also pull it away, but there is more food to pull, and there are fewer horses, be careful of robbers on the road, I can't personally bring the light horse to your guard."
Wang Juan stood in the perspective of the Tubo people to help find a way, and he looked like he wanted to exchange the military horses and weapons of the Tubo people, and the leather armor on his body was not needed, and it was worthless.
But Mu Ji didn't count, he could only go to the general who led the team to discuss, and asked him if he was willing to exchange, and said Wang Juan's threatening words, the general who led the team nodded helplessly and agreed, he didn't dare to do anything to Wang Juan now, once he couldn't leave Wang Juan behind, then wait for revenge.
The soldiers left their weapons and horses behind and joined the procession to carry the grain and walked back, all hanging their heads as they went.
Wang Juan also commanded people to walk towards the city of Pengzhou, and they all held their chests up.
The officials of Pengzhou were also standing at the top of the city and watching, worried that Tubo had captured Juan Juan and Xiaobao, but they didn't expect everything to go well, and they all came back.
When Wang Juan entered the city, the officials all gathered around, wanting to take a good look at this little girl.
Wang Juan said sadly to the officials: "It's a loss, it's a loss, there are more than 20% of the grain left, so I will exchange it for this bit of weapons and livestock, hey~!" It's all because I'm soft-hearted, and I'm afraid that the people of Tibet won't have enough to eat. ”
The officials were stunned for a while, and finally someone reacted and persuaded: "Yes, Juan Juan is soft-hearted and a good person, and the people of Tubo should be grateful to Juan Juan." ”
Other officials chimed in.
Zhang Xiaobao saw Wang Juan and said, touch her, "Okay, hurry back, I'm about to leave, don't waste time, thank you for what?" A mixture of sand? Or use that bit of broken grain to exchange for a lot of iron tools and military horses? Go, the weapon must be melted into iron ingots first, so as to make agricultural tools, one knife is enough to become three or four kitchen knives, and a dozen arrows can make a coulter. ”
Wang Juan thought about it, hurried, said hello to the officials, and rushed back to Yizhou with a large number of livestock, leaving the military horses to Pengzhou, and he could form a cavalry battalion, and there was nowhere to put it with him.
After pit Tubo and make a lot of livestock, the people in the inner courtyard were arranged to stay in the local area to be responsible for management, and the people of Zhang Wang's family packed up their profits and embarked on the journey back to Beijing.
Countless people saw them off, and more than 100 cars were loaded with souvenirs alone, and they couldn't accept them if they wanted to.
Before leaving, Zhang Xiaobao did not forget to write a letter to Tubo, telling Tubo to live in peace, and try not to appear robbers to intercept his caravan to the desert, otherwise Juan Juan will be very sad and angry.
