Chapter 45: On the eve of the departure of Yiguo

Calling everyone, Li Yao said: "Changzhu, you go and prepare a dowry, I want to marry Ouyang Qing, the daughter of the craftsman king, as his wife!" ”

Wang Changzhu bowed and said, "Master Hou, I know, I'll go down and prepare immediately!" ”

Gu Yina smiled coquettishly: "Husband, there will be sisters coming in again so soon!" ”

Lian'er also smiled and said: "Sister Qing'er, you are a very good person, it turns out that when I went to Lu County with Hou Ye, I came back with Sister Qing'er!" ”

"Really?" Tao'er asked, "Sister Lian'er, tell me about Sister Qing'er!" ”

Looking at the chatter of a few girls, Li Yao really had a headache, back to the wing, Li Yao planned what happened later, now wait for the Uighurs and Tubo to start a war, he can start a war with Yiguo, but there is always a reason to go to war!

It seems that he still has to go to Yiguo for a turn, at least he has to cause some trouble, otherwise how can he be slapped in the face, only after being slapped in the face can he let go, and he can send troops to attack Yiguo.

And the route of the march has to be arranged by itself, with the information sent back by the thin monkey, Li Yao's initial target is the three counties in the north of Yiguo, the three counties in the north of Yiguo have a unique geographical location, the three counties are in a basin, and there is only a mountain road connected to the outside, and these three counties and Yi County are only separated by a mountain range, but this mountain range is enough to block all exchanges between the two countries.

Li Yao's idea was that if he could send troops to defeat these three county towns, and then blow up the roads leading to the interior of Yiguo in these three counties, and then, use gunpowder to blow up the mountain range connecting Yi County to create a mountain road that could be walked, and his 100,000 troops would slowly assemble towards the three counties of Yiguo through this mountain road.

When the assembly is completed, they will blow up the roads and bombard them with artillery all the way, quickly occupying all parts of Yiguo. Then garrison!

It seems that the day of going to Yiguo is imminent.

Li Yao called the blind man and said, "Blind man, one of your brigade scouts is all scattered to Yiguo, and you can use the money as you like, but I must see that all the counties have our scouts within a month!" ”

The blind man said, "Big brother, are we going to move?" ”

The soldiers and horses have not moved, the grain and grass go first, you are my grain and grass, this time I will also go to Yiguo, but I have two purposes to go to Yiguo, one is to look at the environment, and the other is that I want to make some trouble!

"Well, when are we going?" The blind man asked.

"The sooner the better, you go and arrange it first, and we'll set off in these two days!" Li Yao said.

Seeing that the blind man went down to prepare, Li Yao called the fat man, looking at the fat man's fat body, Li Yao was depressed, "I see you running outside every day, why are you still so fat!" ”

The fat man sat down, gasped hard, and said, "I feel thin, really." ”

The fat man's self-deceptive words are a little less persuasive.

Haha, Li Yao laughed: "Okay, no kidding, fatty, let me ask you, how is the matter with the agent this time." ”

Seeing that he was talking about business, the fat man put away his smile and said: "Next month, the country's Hou Ye wine agents will be open to bidding, if we succeed this time, we can harvest at least two million taels of silver!" ”

"Two million taels of silver!" Li Yao took a deep breath, it seems that this agent is really profitable, fortunately it is only a one-time thing, if it can last for a long time, then Li Yao really can't withstand the pressure.

After all, everyone wants to make money!

By the way, fat man, do you have any capable cadres under you, lend me a few days!

The fat man thought for a while: "Yes, when I went to the Liang Dynasty to sell grain a few days ago, I met a kid on the road, who was clever and flexible, and was a good seedling in business, so I brought him back, and he has been with me for two or three months now, and I am ready to wait for more things in the future, so I will hand him some, big brother, if you want to be useful, I will give him to you!" ”

Li Yao nodded: "Bring him to meet me, by the way, do you understand this person's background clearly?" ”

The fat man smiled: "Big brother, don't worry, this person is a child from a poor family, and his background has already been inquired clearly!" Absolute innocence! ”

Li Yao nodded: "Then call him to see me!" ”

After a while, the fat man came in with a weak-crowned teenager.

The young man, as soon as he saw Li Yao, knelt down and bowed: "See Master Hou!" ”

Li Yao helped the young man up: "You don't need to make such a big gift, let's introduce yourself!" ”

"Master Hou, the villain Shen Hezhi, a villager from Xiawan Village, Yangcheng, Daliang, was taken care of by Master Guo two months ago, and stayed with the master as an apprentice." Shen Hezhi only finished speaking, looking a little nervous.

Li Yao smiled: "Shen Hezhi, don't be nervous, the fat man is my brother, you can also be my brother, the premise is that you have to be a useful person!" ”

Shen Hezhi knelt on the ground: "I am willing to go up the knife mountain and go down to the sea of fire for the Hou Ye!" ”

Li Yao quipped: "Go up the knife mountain, go down to the sea of fire, you can't do it, you are too thin, not suitable!" ”

Shen Hezhi immediately slapped himself twice and said, "I can slap a swollen face and become fat!" ”

Haha, interesting! Li Yao said with a smile: "This time I will go to Yiguo, you will also follow me, I need you to open up all the Yiguo Pass guards along the way, and transport some things to Yiguo, you don't have to worry about the silver, I will give you enough silver!" ”

Shen Hezhi nodded and said: "Master Hou, please rest assured, I will definitely do my best to complete this matter, I have also heard about it in the Eastern Capital, Yiguo is corrupted internally, as long as there is silver, I am confident that I can open a road!" ”

Okay, you go back and prepare, come over in two days, let's set off for Yiguo!

Watching Shen Hezhi walk out of the door, Li Yao said in his heart: "This Shen Hezhi is a little ruthless, he is not ambiguous at all when he opens his mouth, and he is clever enough!" It seems that as long as you cultivate well, it is indeed a talent, but this is not the strength to achieve the goal, it is a little difficult to grasp, if you can control it well, it can indeed be used by me, if you don't control it well, then you can only get rid of it! ”

At this time, Wang Changzhu walked in and said softly: "Master Hou, how about the day of your marriage set on the 28th of this month, this is a good day!" ”

Li Yao thought for a while and said, "Push it back, at least set aside a month and a half for me, I want to take advantage of this day to go to Yiguo!" ”

Wang Changzhu nodded and said, "Okay, I'll change the day!" Set in a month and a half! ”

Wang Changzhu is good at everything, but the sense of respect and humility is too strong, only do a good job within the work, absolutely don't ask, another day, Li Yao is ready to explain to Wang Changzhu the reason for going to Yiguo, but Wang Changzhu didn't ask at all, I think it is a normal thing for the master to go to Yiguo, I just need to do what he said!

People like Wang Changzhu have advantages and disadvantages, and they always position themselves in the perspective of slaves, which is indeed easy to manage, but not conducive to innovation! It seems that when they have enough strength, they are going to start a great liberation of knowledge, at least let them all have some pursuits! Compulsory education should also be established!
