Since parting from the grassland, the three have not seen each other for months. As soon as Qin Lei entered Beijing, he asked Shen Bing to inform Shen Luo and arrange a gathering.

The three of them first picked up some relaxed talk and drank wine, and after the third round, the topic naturally returned to Kyoto. Qin Lei said the emperor's arrangement for him, and Shen Luo and Guantao were silent. For a long time, almost in unison, they said: "I can't go." ”

The two looked at each other and smiled bitterly, and Shen Luo said first: "Your Highness, do you know who the Hubu Shangshu is?" Who is Tobe's right waiter? Who are the officials of the household department from? ”

Qin Lei didn't answer, waiting for his next step.

"The head of the household is still at home, the left servant of the household is Qian Weiyong, the protégé of Prime Minister Wen, and the right servant of the household is the eldest son of Wen Yanbo, and the rest of the subordinate officials are all out of the prime minister's door. It is not an exaggeration to say that the household department is the prime minister's ban. What can you do there? ”

Qin Lei nodded, and then looked at the pavilion pottery who was seriously chewing a piece of spiced venison on the side, and when the pavilion Tao saw him looking over, he swallowed the things in his mouth vigorously, took a sip of wine and said: "If you don't use it, it's okay to say, I'm afraid that I will offend the Manchu Dynasty minister, and I won't even be able to stay in Zhongzhong." ”

Qin Lei couldn't help but be surprised: "How could it be? ”

Guan Tao twisted the sparse beard on his chin and said, "I heard that Daqin's battle ended hastily because of one word - money. ”

Qin Lei was silent, and the prince explained the process of the war with Qi in detail in his letter. After the initial triumphant advance, the million-strong army of the Qin State entered the territory of the Qi State. According to the original plan, it was to be replenished on the spot. However, Zhao Wujiao fortified the wall and cleared the wilderness, retreated, and did not let the Qin State plunder enough supplies. The forced elongated supply line brought great losses to Qin's financial resources, making Qin's offensive weak to follow. In the end, he did not capture Heyang, the western capital of Qi before the freeze, and returned to China with his troops in a gray manner.

Guan Tao took another sip of wine and sighed: "Soldiers, the major affairs of the country must not be ignored." The war of the Qin State was not a temporary idea, but a multi-year plan. How is it possible to put the hope of supplies in another country? There must be something wrong with one link, and it has to be done. ”

Qin Lei sighed: "Money, there must be no money." ”

Guan Tao smiled: "And it's surprisingly out of money." ”

Shen Luo suddenly said at this time: "The household department is in charge of the world's money and grain, there must be a problem. At this time, going on an errand is not like sitting on a charcoal basin? As he spoke, he glanced down at the brazier in the corner of the wall with a blue flame.

Qin Lei shook his head and said, "I don't go to hell, whoever loves to go to hell will." Then he looked at Guan Tao, who thought for a moment and said in a deep voice: "I have three strategies for His Royal Highness." ”

"Speak."

"It is the next policy to say that the disease is not out, and to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages."

Without thinking about it, Qin Lei vetoed this: "It's not appropriate." How is this different from squatting in prison? This highness squatted enough, the next one. ”

"It doesn't matter if you bluff or startle snakes, or if you are domineering and bullying men and women. In short, let Prime Minister Wen and them take the initiative to ask the emperor to transfer you away. This is the middle point. But this will undoubtedly bring some bad feelings to His Majesty's officials. ”

Qin Lei didn't say anything, and then asked, "What about the best policy?" ”

"Show your ability to make Your Majesty reluctant. This is the best policy. ”

Qin Lei sneered: "There don't seem to be many things that can make a supreme reluctant. ”

Guan Tao's eyes narrowed into a line, and a cold light flashed: "Yes, for example, the potential to balance the Prime Minister of Taiwei." ”

There was silence in the room, save for the gentle crackling of charcoal burning.

As the sun set, the drunken Qin Lei bid farewell to Tao and Shen Luo and boarded the carriage.

The carriage turned out of Yinkou Lane and drove onto Fuxi Street. At this time, it was the most crowded time of the day, and the officials, scholars, merchants, and common people hurried home from all over the capital after a day's hard work. The flow of people gathered on Fuxi Street, and there was a feeling of sweating like rain one after another.

Qin Lei's carriage was like a small fish swimming into a school of fish, and he couldn't see it in the blink of an eye.

By the time he showed up the next time, he was already in another blue carriage.

Qin Lei also changed into a royal blue robe, not wearing the iconic black and gold royal robe. A big man in the car looked at him with joy, as if he was about to pounce.

Qin Lei sat there and stretched out his feet and kicked weakly, and scolded with a smile: "*** fierce son, you have too many fucking fans, stay away." ”

Shi Meng scratched his head and laughed, and argued: "Isn't it a panic that I haven't seen you for a long time?" After a while, he said ambiguously: "Could it be that His Royal Highness hasn't hugged the fan yet?" ”

Qin Lei was hit by the key point, and said angrily: "Fart, His Royal Highness has read countless people, how can you imagine a fool like you." The guards who went to Beishan with him no longer dared to laugh at him like this, and Qin Lei was very happy that Shi Meng could still do this to him.

After laughing, Qin Lei asked, "Have you done anything serious about you?" ”

Shi Meng grinned and said: "If Your Highness commands, I don't dare to forget it when I sleep." As he spoke, he took out a bound booklet from his arms and handed it to Qin Lei with both hands.

Qin Lei took it and opened it, and a number of accounts in and out appeared in front of him. Qin Lei looked at Shi Meng, who had a rough appearance, and felt a little proud in his heart. Who would have thought that this guy would keep accounts?

At the beginning, I taught the guards to calculate the chips, and every test was the first in this battle. Later, because he was going to send him to Shi Wei, he suddenly taught him to write simple accounting knowledge, and he could learn it immediately, and he never made mistakes. This is something that Shi Wei, who has been outside the core guard circle of Qin Lei, has no way of knowing.

Qin Lei simply flipped through it, then handed it to Shen Bing and asked him to put it away. Only then did he say to Shi Meng: "Mengzi, have you stayed there enough?" ”

Shi Meng nodded violently, and said with a pitiful look: "Every day, I deal with the stinky and bitter haha of the gang, and I can't straighten my waist when I go to the kiln to find powder." ”

Qin Lei patted him on the shoulder and said, "If there is no problem with your clan brother this time, I will send you a new errand." ”

Shi Meng asked curiously, "What errand?" Is it glamorous enough? Is it stylish enough? The most important thing is whether you can straighten up in front of the powder? ”

Qin Lei couldn't help laughing, and said with a straight face: "You'll know when the time comes, but it's certain that everything you say can be satisfied." ”

~~~~~~~

The carriage turned from Fuxi Street to Shenwu Street, traveled for half an hour, and arrived at the most famous Iron Lion Lane in the south of the city.

Nanjo is a densely populated place where the common people of Kyoto live, and Iron Lion Lane is located in the center of Nancheng, with many shops and business travelers. In terms of liveliness, it is not even inferior to Fuxi Street.

The aristocracy has the prosperity of the aristocracy, and the commoners have the liveliness of the commoners.

The carriage stopped in front of a bustling shop on the corner. Qin Lei got out of the car and saw that this store was two floors, and there was a log plaque hanging at the gate on the first floor, with three big characters on it, "Everyone comes".

Qin Lei looked at the three crooked big characters, and scolded Shi Wei who came to greet him: "Didn't you ask a gentleman to write it?" Why do you just hang my chicken paw crawler fork and show it? ”

Shi Wei opened his eyes and smiled: "Your Highness's words are extraordinary. It's the treasure of our 'everyone comes' town store, how can you find someone else to write it. ”

Qin Lei nodded and said, "It seems that Boss Shi has a taste." Let's go, go inside and have a look. ”

As soon as I entered the store, there was a lot of people, and the hall of Nuoda appeared in front of me. In the lobby, there are eight long tables that are seven feet long and five feet wide, and nearly 200 diners sit along the long tables to eat. It's more of a cafeteria than a restaurant.

I saw that all the men in short shirts inside, and even beggars and blind men and the like were also generously sitting at the long table to eat. On the table are some big pots of stews, steamed buns, rice, cakes, wotou, gruel, pickles and other cheap food. Occasionally, there are some salted fish, salted meat, and other meats in front of a few people.

When the diners saw Shi Wei coming in, they all got up to say hello, Shi Wei casually said a few perfunctory words, and nervously invited Qin Lei to the backyard.

As soon as I entered the backyard, the noise suddenly became quieter. Qin Lei looked at this small courtyard with five tiled houses, and Shi Wei hurriedly explained: "This is where the subordinates and the fierce son and their brothers live. The bookkeeper is also here. With that, he invited Qin Lei into the north house.

As soon as I entered the house, I smelled the aroma of food. The table of the Eight Immortals in the hall was full of more than a dozen dishes. It's just big fish and meat, and there's not a trace of green.

Qin Lei secretly said in his heart, Boss Shi is becoming more and more nouveau riche. But I didn't expect that in this cold winter, where would the common people ask for fresh vegetables.

After Qin Lei sat down, he beckoned Shi Wei to sit as well, and a few people retreated before they sat down on the edge of the chair slightly. Only Shi Meng sat with a grin.

Pinch the third chapter. It's still the same sentence, everyone collects it. My little monk is tired and tired, and he should be able to change to see the official and collect it a little.

Give me some motivation and continue to code. Thank you
