Li Guanqi had a sneer on the corner of his mouth and said, "It's not just that. On the surface, the Turks don't have what we need, but in fact, their horses and furs are extremely important strategic goods, and we can take advantage of the mutual market to buy them in large quantities at low prices. ”

Looking at the gate of the palace that had gradually come into view, Li Guanqi sighed, and then said: "With a good horse, you can have a good cavalry; With armor made of fur, our soldiers can better protect themselves in the bitter cold land, and can hope to win the war with the nomads! None of this can be done overnight, but I have to prepare early, after all, it is only a matter of time before I go to war with the Turks. ”

The palace gate is already in sight, the rain has finally stopped, and the sun will rise again in the sky tomorrow......

Since Li Guanqi's sudden visit to the Prime Minister's Mansion, Zu Donglai really felt that it was time to speed up the pace of various work. According to the results of everyone's discussion, the most important thing at present is to buy off Feng Yuhua, the commander of the Xiao Cavalry Guard.

According to Cao Yuanshan, it is actually very easy to buy a normal man, it is nothing more than a matter of silver and women. A man may not be greedy for money, or he may not be lustful, but there is no such thing as a normal man who is neither greedy for money nor lustful.

Even if there are men who are neither greedy for money nor lustful, there will inevitably be certain weaknesses in these two aspects. Either life is troubled by money, or the seed of infatuation can sacrifice everything for a certain woman.

Intelligence showed that there was no evidence to prove that Feng Yuhua was not a normal man, so they did not think that buying Feng Yuhua would be a very troublesome thing. Zu Donglai sent to buy Feng Yuhua was Ying Tianfu Yin Cheng Deficiency, because Cheng Deficiency and Feng Yuhua were fellow countrymen.

Feng Yuhua didn't have his own house, and usually lived in the barracks, so Cheng Yu had no choice but to send someone with his own name to invite Feng Yuhua to the most famous restaurant in the capital, "Drunken Immortal Residence", to talk about the friendship of fellow villagers.

After Feng Yuhua presided over a day's military affairs in the barracks, he just walked into the private room of the "Drunken Immortal Residence", and felt the silver light shining through, and when he fixed his eyes, two boxes of silver ingots were neatly placed side by side in front of the dining table in the private room......

"Brother Fuxiang (Feng Yuhua's words) is finally here, it's been a tiring day, it's very hard, right? Hurry up and take your seats! Cheng Bu saw Feng Yuhua walk in the door, and hurriedly arched his hand and put on the front cover.

"Well said, well said." Feng Yuhua pointed to the two boxes of silver ingots while returning the salute and said, "What does this mean?" ”

Cheng Bu stepped forward with a smile, pulled Feng Yuhua to sit down, and said, "Brother Fuxiang, Admiral Xiao Cavalry Guard, for the safety of the Beijing Division, he stepped up his training day and night, which can be described as a high level of hard work. Therefore, Brother Zu Xiang specially ordered me to send a reward of 2,000 taels of silver, please Brother Fuxiang smile! ”

Feng Yuhua looked back at the ingots in the box, then looked back at Cheng Wei's big face that had been smiling, and said lightly: "Brother Cheng, why am I a little confused about what you say?" ”

"Where are you confused?" Cheng Bu continued to say with a smile.

Feng Yuhua tilted his head and said: "Since it is a reward for silver, there should be an edict from the emperor, and the household department will issue the silver, how can you let the ancestor pay for it himself?" The court isn't poor enough to do this, is it? ”

"Brother Fuxiang!" Cheng Wei dragged out his voice and said, "Don't you still understand, don't you have to let my brother and I say it through?" ”

Feng Yuhua sneered: "It's better for you to make it clear, brother, I really don't understand what's going on." ”

Cheng Bu saw that Feng Yuhua was deliberately pretending to be stupid, so he had to say honestly: "Don't hide it, this is the ancestor who loves Brother Fuxiang deeply, so he put forward these two thousand taels of silver from his own treasury and gave it to his brother, with the admiration and admiration of his ancestors!" ”

Feng Yuhua smiled and said, "Your brother would have said that it would be over." To tell the truth, brother, I am very grateful for the love of my ancestors, but I can't accept this money, brother. ”

Cheng Bu listened to Feng Yuhua's tone, and thought that the matter had been done, but he didn't expect Feng Yuhua to change his words, and directly refused, and hurriedly asked, "Why?" ”

"Brother Cheng, you are smart, why are you confused for a while?" Feng Yuhua picked up the chopsticks to himself, took a bite of food and said, "Why did you invite me to eat here?" ”

"Because we're fellows!" Cheng said without thinking.

"No, no, no, that's not what I'm talking about." Feng Yuhua shook his head again and again and said, "Our brother is a fellow countryman, there are some words, there is no need to hide them, Brother Cheng, it is fake for you to invite me to dinner, and it is true to help the ancestor send silver." Don't admit it, I'm right, right? ”

Cheng Wei smiled embarrassedly and said, "Brother Fuxiang, there are some words, just understand them in your heart......

Feng Yuhua shrugged his shoulders and smiled and said, "Since the purpose is to send silver, why do you have to come to this Drunken Immortal Tower, Brother Zhao?" ”

"It's not because you don't have a house," Cheng Bu said angrily, "I can't send you to the barracks!" ”

"Yes." Feng Yuhua sat up straight, put down his chopsticks and said, "Brother Cheng, it's inconvenient for you to send it to me, is it convenient for me Feng to take it?" ”

"Negligent, negligent." Cheng Bu snapped his head and said, "Brother Fuxiang, don't blame, it's my brother I didn't think about it." Brother, I will go back to my ancestors and exchange silver tickets for Brother Fuxiang. ”

"Isn't silver the same as silver? Cheng can't carry a silver ticket of 2,000 taels on his body every day, right? There are a lot of people in the barracks, who knows what it will become. Feng Yuhua pretended to be angry and said, "No, I can't ask for the silver ticket."

Cheng Wei was stunned for a moment, then came to his senses, took the wine jug with a smile, filled Feng Yuhua with a glass of wine and said: "Come, Brother Fuxiang, brother, I salute you, I wish you a housewarming in advance!" ”

Feng Yuhua didn't speak, but also smiled and raised the wine glass, touched it lightly, and went down.

At that moment, the two of them went back and forth and drank, but because they had something in their hearts, they didn't stay for long, so they went back separately.

Cheng Yu hurriedly went back to Zu Dong to show his merits, since Feng Yuhua promised to ask for a house, it means that he is willing to be bought.

After listening to Cheng Yuan's report, Zu Donglai was also very happy, and said on the spot: "I will use these two thousand taels to buy him a good house near Xuanwu Lake." As long as Feng Yuhua is also on our side, then the old man really doesn't have any worries. ”

Cao Yuanshan frowned beside him and said, "No, I think there is a problem here." ”
