Zhao Xiang persuaded General Shi, and those confidants of General Shi naturally had General Shi to persuade.

Eight days later, a large amount of money and grain was transported to the border from a place only a few dozen miles away from where they were stationed.

The team transporting money and grain was afraid that the Zhao family would send someone to rob it, so they took precautions.

The result was unexpected, and he was so easily away from the Zhao family's control, and the grain transport officers were a little in a trance.

The imperial court did not dare to blame the Zhao family.

Dongxiang Hou doesn't care who robbed the money and grain in the end, the Southern Liang court is so incompetent, he can't even transport some money and grain to the border pass, and he still has the face to be relieved for a few more days?

The opponent is so weak, can you use it to give face?

The grain transport officer did not dare to take it lightly and urged the team to rush to the border pass.

On this day, the weather was fine.

Inside the tent.

Su Jin has been lying down for so many days, he really can't lie down, and he can finally get out of bed and walk around.

However, she could only get out of bed and walk a few steps, and the princess would never allow her to go out of the camp to blow the wind.

The border pass is windy and sandy, especially now that it is autumn.

It was only a hundred steps from the prince's tent to Su Jin's tent, and the princess was dazzled by the wind and sand.

Su Jin has not yet been confined, and the princess is afraid that the wind will blow out some sequelae.

Su Jin knew that the princess was for her good, and repeatedly promised not to go out of the camp.

In this way, the princess was still worried about her.

After the training of the king of Nan'an, they went to bathe in the nearby river and returned to the camp refreshed.

In the distance, I saw a man riding a horse.

The eldest young master of the Dingguo Mansion glanced at it and felt a little familiar, but he didn't remember who it was.

In terms of memorization, the memory of the four kings of Zhongnan Anjun is the best.

"Lord Jun, look at who that is," said the eldest young master of the Dingguo Mansion.

The king of Nan'an County glanced at it, and before he could speak, the Hou Shizi of Beining said first, "Father-in-law? ”

"Isn't that my father-in-law?"

"Why did he come to the barracks?"

Before the words fell, the Hou Shizi of Beining had already caught up.

Just finished taking a shower, and my hair is still wet.

Everyone is used to it in the barracks, but Master Zhou is not used to seeing his son-in-law so imageless.

Anyway, he is also a son of the world, and he is outside the barracks, what kind of system is it?

"Why did my father-in-law come to the barracks?" Hou Shizi of Beining asked.

There were two carriages behind Master Zhou, on which there were several large boxes.

Hou Shizi of Beining guessed that he might have heard about the grandson of Dongxiang Hou Xitian and came to send a congratulatory gift.

Isn't it too much to just send a two-horse carriage?

Moreover, the barracks are important, and there is no reason to send congratulatory gifts to the barracks.

It's not too late to send it back to Beijing.

Master Zhou glanced at his son-in-law with disgust and said, "Master Hou invited me here." ”

The Hou Shizi of Beining really didn't know that the Hou of Dongxiang invited Master Zhou to come.

led Master Zhou to the big tent in the army.

Dongxiang Hou heard that Master Zhou was coming, and greeted him from the big tent, "Why did Brother Zhou come so late?" ”

Master Zhou didn't know what Dongxiang Hou was looking for him, and explained, "There was something on the road that was delayed for a few days, and there was no mistake about Hou Ye, right?" ”

Dongxiang Hou invited Master Zhou into the big tent to speak, and said, "It's okay today, if I can't see you tomorrow, I should be in a hurry." ”

The king of Nan'an and Chu Shun looked at each other.

Tomorrow is a special day.

Nanliang wanted to send the money and grain for compensation to the barracks, and at this time, Dongxiang Hou came to Master Zhou, and he really didn't know what to do.

However, it is certain that Nanliang will be unlucky.

Dongxiang Hou asked the imperial chef to make a table of meals, and he and Master Zhou chatted while eating.

As for what they talked about, no one knows.

After eating, Master Zhou went to see the little county lord and the little prince.

The stuff of the two wagons was for them to bring with them.

The little prince was too young, and Master Zhou didn't dare to hug him, so he only hugged the little county lord.

After a while, Master Zhou left the barracks.

He and Dongxiang Hou are friends and trustworthy people, but after all, the military camp is important, and no one is allowed to stay.

The barracks were fine, and the Hou Shizi of Bac Ninh escorted his father-in-law to the nearest town and stayed there with his father-in-law.

The next day was the day when Nanliang paid compensation.

The grain transport officer hurried and arrived at the border at noon.

Without delay, the money and grain were directly transported to Daqi, so as not to give Daqi an excuse to make trouble.

It is said that it is money and grain, but in fact there is no grain and grass.

There is no treasury that is not short of grain, especially when Nanliang and Daqi have fought for so long, and they have consumed a lot.

Dongxiang Hou relented and allowed Nanliang to replace one of them with antique calligraphy and painting.

Dongxiang Hou invited Master Zhou for this matter.

500,000 quintals of grain and grass, Nanliang offset it with antique calligraphy and painting.

So much grain and grass are worth a lot of money, and the antique calligraphy and paintings brought back to Beijing were either rewarded by the emperor or secretly exchanged by others.

This is not uncommon.

Dongxiang Hou will not let the emperor's playthings lose his mind, since Nanliang does not have so much food, he has to replace it with antique calligraphy and painting, then it doesn't matter, Dongxiang Hou will guarantee it, and Master Zhou will pour the Zhou family's financial resources to eat these antique calligraphy and paintings, and turn around and exchange them for food and hand them over to the imperial court.

The imperial court had nothing to say.

But as a businessman, Master Zhou must not suffer.

What the imperial court wanted was grain, 500,000 quintals, and the financial and material resources to sell antiques, calligraphy and paintings into money had to be replenished from Nanliang.

Before Dongxiang Hou Songkou, Nanliang felt that Dongxiang Hou was not bad.

Now I just feel too pitiful!

This is simply taking Nanliang as a favor.

If you knew this, it would be better to be a cheap Nanliang businessman!

But the things have been transported to the border and become meat on people's chopping boards, and they are only for others to slaughter.

Master Zhou brought a few capable shopkeepers, all of whom were good at identifying antiques.

Grain is not to be paid at the highest price, but also at the average price of the last three years.

The estimated price of those antique calligraphy and paintings is estimated at 1,000 taels for Nanliang, 800 taels for Master Zhou, and maybe even 700 taels.

If the value is high, the price reduction will be even more powerful.

After all, there is a great risk that expensive things cannot be sold and smashed in their hands, and Master Zhou, as a businessman, must try to minimize the risk.

Before these things were brought to the border gate, someone was asked to estimate the value.

Everyone knows that it is for grain and grass to Daqi, and those who estimate the price dare not estimate the high price, in case the valuation is too high, giving Daqi an excuse to fight, they will become sinners.

The price was already underestimated, and in order to prevent Daqi, he was also afraid that the calligraphy and paintings would be mixed with fakes, so he brought something worth 600,000 loads of grain and grass to the border.

But these things are only worth 400,000 loads of grain and grass in Master Zhou's place.

That is, there is still a gap of 100,000 quintals of grain to be filled.

Now that the money and antiques, calligraphy and paintings have fallen into the hands of Dongxiang Hou, if you don't make up for these 100,000 loads of grain and grass, there will definitely be a war.

But if there is a war, then these things can be regarded as meat buns and dogs.

Nan Liang gritted his teeth and went back to the barracks to search, and carried a large box of various pearl necklaces.

Busy until the next morning, Nan Liang looked tired and left exhausted.

This experience, if you can describe it in three words, it must be-

Can't afford to mess with.
