Chapter 478: Riverside Scene at Qingming Festival (9)
Li Gang and Cai You beside him were all stunned. The chapter was updated the fastest, especially Li Gang, who opened his mouth slightly and looked at Gao Yang with a stunned look. That's what he really wanted to say in his heart.
Gao Yang looked at Li Gang's somewhat embarrassed expression, smiled indifferently, and said, "Please take a seat." "As soon as I entered the house, I started talking, and I haven't had time to greet him politely.
After taking their seats, Gao Yang waved his hand, and the guards served hot tea. The tea bowls are all top-quality porcelain seized from the Jurchens. They are all black porcelain tea bowls produced in Jianzhou kiln.
If these good things are placed in modern time and space, they are all treasures at the level of national treasures. But here, at least in the eyes of Li Gang and Cai You, it is just an ordinary thing.
What really moved them was the tea leaves and the way to drink tea! In modern time and space, the taste of tea grown in a more scientific way is definitely much stronger than that of this side. And Gao Yang used the best West Lake Longjing given to him by Zhao Chengze.
Didn't grind the tea leaves into powder like the Song people in this era when they drank tea on weekdays, put them in the tea bowl and stir them quickly and wait for the foam to come out, making it as if they were drinking cappuccino.
It's just very simple to put the tea leaves and heat the water. The elegant fragrance and emerald green color of the tea leaves, floating and stretching to the fullest, made Li Gang and Cai You look at it intently. Full of love.
"Huh~~~" After taking a sip of the tea bowl, the taste that was completely different from this era made the two of them breathe a sigh of relief.
Looking at the two of them who seemed to be still intoxicated, Gao Yang grinned and laughed secretly in his heart. Fresh things are very attractive to people. Especially if you like it very much. They are all literati, and they are very attentive to this kind of vassal elegance.
"Ahem." Gao Yang covered his mouth and coughed, calling the two of them back.
"Let's get down to business." Gao Yang smiled and said.
"High General." Li Gang put down the tea bowl in his hand, twisted his beard and chuckled, "I heard that Guo Yaoshi's rebellion has died of a violent illness, and he can be regarded as having evil retribution." The victorious army, under the leadership of the high-ranking generals, abandoned the darkness and turned to the light. What a blessing for the country. ”
Gao Yang also put down the tea bowl in his hand, looked at him, smiled indifferently, and said, "Which country's great luck?" Song? ”
"Of course." Li Gang heard the faint mockery in Gao Yang's words. Still unchanged, he continued: "Today, I heard that the Chang Shengjun abandoned Jin and returned, and defeated the slave chief Wanyan Zonghan under this Yingzhou city. Longyan Dayue, specially ordered a certain family to come to reward the three armies. ”
"Master Li, Mr. Liang Xi. Did you misunderstand something? Gao Yang's face was straight, and he said in a deep voice, "I have just said that Chang Shengjun is now in charge of me." I don't remember saying that I wanted to serve the Song Kingdom. Reward or something, don't mention it again. ”
"This" Li Gang looked embarrassed. After a short period of silence, he continued: "High general, the current trend in the world is nothing more than my Emperor Song, pseudo-gold and Xia thief. The victorious army and the pseudo-gold have fought repeatedly, and they have already resolved the great enmity of life and death. As for the small and weak country of the Xia thief, it is not a good match to think of it. If the high general doesn't go to my emperor Song, where else can he go? ”
The corners of Gao Yang's mouth curled slightly, and he leaned back on the chair. Stretched out his hand and tapped lightly on the table next to him, and said softly, "I naturally have my own arrangements for what I want to do." Serve the Song Kingdom? There is no such interest. ”
"High General!" Li Gang was a little anxious, and he stood up and waited to be persuaded again. Gao Yang interrupted him with a wave of his hand. smiled and said, "I understand what you mean, no need to say more." Although he was unwilling to serve the Song State. However, we are still on the same side in the matter of fighting the Jurchens. ”
He stood up, clapped his hands, and said, "I know what you're here for." Let's just do it first. I don't have time to spend more time with the busy military affairs, so if there is nothing else, please go back first. ”
After finishing speaking, he didn't wait for Li Gang to say anything more. After nodding slightly, he left the meeting room.
"Hey." Cai You, who had never been able to speak, laughed out loud immediately after Gao Yang left. Zhao'an's affairs were messed up, and at this moment, he, the deputy envoy, was idle. The black cauldron was naturally resisted by Li Gang.
glanced at Li Gang obliquely, sneered with disdain on his face, flicked his sleeves and turned to leave.
Li Gang was also in no mood to compete with Cai You. At this moment, he was only thinking about how to convince Gao Yang. Victorious army. It must be won over to the side of the Song Kingdom. Not just for His Majesty the Emperor, but for the country!
Gao Yang left the two of them to dry because he knew that both of them had their own secret missions. When the two of them are together, it is impossible to say the conditions, and they can only take it out when they visit alone.
Gao Yang put on a high posture just to sit on the ground and raise the price. Let's see who offers the best price. Of course, it is impossible to serve the Song Kingdom. It's just a matter of taking the benefits first.
I want to lay a big living space for this nation. It is impossible to rely on the current army of less than 10,000 people alone. He needs a huge amount of human and material resources.
Gao Yang is not short of materials, what he has is something, how much he wants. What he needs now is people, a lot of manpower and talent. If you want to get this, you must have a righteous name. In this land, there is such a thing as a title that only the Song Kingdom can give.
Let Li Gang and Cai You fight, Gao Yang only needs to sit on the ground and raise the price, and he can reap the benefits of the fisherman.
Sure enough, although he was rejected by Gao Yang in person, Li Gang and Cai You didn't care too much. They also know that when both sides are present, it is difficult to bid. The real winner will not be able to wait until the private meeting gives the benefits.
After returning to the temporary station, the two did not communicate and went to rest separately.
Wait until the sun goes down and the sky gets dark. After the strange dinner in a tin box, Li Ganghe and Cai You began to prepare. They consciously staggered the time to visit Gao Yang separately and gave their own favorable conditions.
The night covered the earth, and the crescent moon outside the window hung obliquely in the distance, looking down on this indifferent land with cold eyes.
Gao Yang changed into a relaxed and casual outfit, sat in the study, and met Cai You, who came first.
Compared with the calm Li Gang, Cai You is much more anxious. As soon as the sky darkened, he hurried to visit Gao Yang.
"High General." Although Cai You is arrogant, he is still very skilled in basic officialdom. After being invited into the study, he came up and threw out a big cake.
"Emperor Taishang of Daojun canonized the high general as King Yan, with three generations of lords and 3,000 households! Doctor Zijin Guanglu and Privy Council. The cake thrown by Cai You is not small, and if it were people of this era, they might eat it happily.
It's just that Gao Yang, who understands history, can see it clearly. Let's not mention that the so-called Yan Wang Shiyi is still in the hands of the Jurchens. That Doctor Zijin Guanglu is just an idle and noble title.
As for the matter of the Privy Council, it is a real shortage, after the Seed Master Dao was kicked out of Bianliang City, this seat was vacant, and it was not impossible to give it to Gao Yang. It's just that if you really want to take power, you still have to go to Bianliang City!
Besides, there are also the chief and deputy envoys of the Privy Council and the Privy Council on this official position! After seeing through it, you will understand that it is all a painted pie! It's better to have some gold and silver jewelry.
Although it is said that the price is sky-high, and the money is paid back on the ground. But you can't take people for fools, can you? Song Huizong used the officialdom on his own body!
After hearing this, Gao Yang fell silently, his face was sad or joyless, and Cai You couldn't see what he meant.
The study soon quieted down, and Cai You's heart gradually rose. Gao Yang did not take this big fruit as happily as he expected. Opposed, closed his eyes, and said no.
After a while, Gao Yang raised his head and looked at him, a flash of anger flashed in his eyes, and he said indifferently, "Got it, let me think about it." ”
After speaking, he waved his hand to let Cai You out, without saying anything more.
Cai You also saw that Gao Yang was not satisfied, but he didn't have a chance to offer any more prices. I had to say goodbye and leave.
Looking at Cai You's departing back, Gao Yang hooked the corners of his mouth and snorted coldly.
"What? Dissatisfied? The origin spoke quietly.
Take out a cigarette, light it, take a deep breath and slowly exhale a smoke ring. His eyes were slightly stunned and he looked at the thick smoke rings, and said softly, "That's not what I want." None of this is useful. ”
"And what do you want?" The origin asked suspiciously.
Gao Yang smiled, crossed his legs on the table, raised his head and yawned, and said, "Don't worry, I'll talk when Li Gang comes." That's what really does business. ”
Li Gang didn't let Gao Yang wait too long. Not long after Gao Yang snuffed out his cigarette, Li Gang came to the door.
Greetings, sitting, and tea. After a set of processes is down, the formal negotiation process begins.
"Say anything. Don't hide it, now I am in the active position, and you are the ones who come to beg me. Don't do any tricks to get away with. I don't have that much time! Gao Yang made all the topics clear before Li Gang spoke.
Putting down the tea bowl in his hand, he curiously glanced at the little thing in the corner of the room that could magically blow a cool breeze. Li Gang looked at Gao Yang, smiled, and said, "Ming people don't say secret words, since the senior generals don't want to waste time, then a certain family will be straightforward." ”
After a pause, his expression was solemn, and he said in a deep voice, "After learning that there was a Chang Shengjun who broke the Jin Army on Hedong Road, I was very happy. A certain family was specially ordered to come to comfort the anti-Jin rebels. ”
Taking a light breath, he continued with a stern expression, "The sergeants of the Changsheng Army are all transferred to one merit, and the generals are recorded as third-class. The sergeants were rewarded with twenty cents and four dollars and six dollars. Three to ten times the generals. In addition, silk and satin, wine and meat are rewarded. ”
What I just said is for the sergeants, and now it's the main thing, how to reward Gao Yang.
Li Gang glanced at Gao Yang, who was expressionless, sighed slightly in his heart, and continued, "Gao Yang, the commander of the Changsheng army, is the first class of Yan Guogong, and there are eight hundred households. Bachelor of Jinlong Tuge, Doctor of Zijin Guanglu, and Deputy Privy Councillor. Reward 100,000 yuan, three Bianliang houses. ”
After Li Gang finished speaking, he stared at Gao Yang's eyes, expecting to get a satisfactory reply. Song Qinzong's side really needed strong foreign aid. (To be continued......)
