In fact, Guo Rong's so-called taking Yan Qing shopping is really just taking Yan Qing and Gu Lina shopping, because Guo Rong doesn't have a penny in his pocket.

The Changying Army belongs to the Beiya Forbidden Army in terms of establishment, and the monthly salaries of the Forbidden Army and the Shence Army are originally higher than those of ordinary officials and border troops.

In order to ensure the loyalty of the pro-army, the Emperor Taishang took out additional subsidies for the Changying army from his own internal funds, and these incomes were probably close to 8,000 yuan per month when converted into copper coins.

Moreover, at the end of each year, as long as the year is okay, the Emperor Taishang/Emperor will give another subsidy to the forbidden army from the internal funds, and it is not a problem to get 10,000 yuan at the level of Guo Rong.

Therefore, Guo Rong's annual income actually reached 100,000 yuan, that is, 100 yuan, which is a proper high income.

As for why Guo Rong is so clear about his monthly salary but still penniless, it is that the distribution record is clear, but not a penny has reached Guo Rong's hands, and the amount of these salaries is all told to him by Yan Qing.

Obviously, Guo Rong's salary was directly sent to Yan Qing!

You must know that with the blessing of the Emperor Taishang, even if it is placed in the entire Tang Dynasty, Yan Qing is also a proper rich woman!

As for why his salary went to Yan Qing, he had to ask the emperor, but Guo Rong didn't dare to ask......

Fortunately, Yan Qing didn't care, and Guo Rong was happy to eat soft rice with peace of mind.

However, then again, although this is a bowl of soft rice, who can say that soft rice is not fragrant?

The West Market and the East Market are of the same size, and the degree of prosperity is also different, but there is a difference between the two, and there are hundreds of Hu merchants selling all kinds of goods in the entire West Market.

After being taken to the West Market by Guo Rong, the eyes of the two women instantly lit up.

When they first entered the West Market, the two were still a little reserved, but it didn't take long for them to be completely immersed in the dazzling array of the West Market.

The eyes full of jewelry, spices, glass, gold and silverware completely aroused the instincts of the two women, and soon the two women began to go crazy shopping mode.

This is exactly the state that Guo Rong wants, after all, just asking or not buying is definitely the most disgusting kind of customer for merchants.

And Yan Qing and Gu Lina are the real gods, for this real God, Guo Rong believes that even Hu Shang will definitely know everything, say everything, and maybe give some small gifts that are not costly.

For example, after Yan Qing and Gu Lina purchased more than 100 spices in one go, the short and fat Hu Shang's eyes narrowed with laughter.

Faced with Guo Rong's idea of finding some melon and fruit seeds in the Western Regions, he directly asked the servant to take a small bag of black seeds and handed it to Guo Rong.

Tell this thing to be called cold melon, just plant it at the turn of spring and summer, and it is a good product to cool off the heat in summer.

Holding this bag of seeds in his hand, Guo Rong was speechless for a long time, no matter what, he didn't expect that today's first real trophy was something, but it was better than nothing.

Soon, in the frenzied procurement of Yan Qing and Gu Lina, Guo Rong had already mastered the types of goods sold by Hu Shang, and roughly figured out the price of the glass he cared about.

Although it is not as easy to sell hundreds of copper coins as Yang Xin said, it is not uncommon to sell one or two hundred copper coins with slightly better quality and brighter color.

As for the better quality, the one that is close to Li Yu may really reach thousands of runs!

Originally, Guo Rong felt that he was a Zhonglang general from the fourth rank of the forbidden army, with a high salary of 60,000 yuan every month, which was still beautiful, but he didn't eat or drink, and he couldn't save a broken glass bottle for a year, which made Guo Rong's self-esteem suffer a great blow!

So when Yan Qing and Gu Lina were shining at a vessel made of glass, Guo Rong began to wander around the store aimlessly.

Then, a familiar object crossed in front of Guo Rong's eyes, Guo Rong found that a white flower was inserted in a small glass cup, and for a while in his heart, Guo Rong reached out and gently stroked the white flower.

When he touched the flowers, Guo Rong's fingertips felt a familiar sense of softness, yes, this is the biggest purpose of his trip - cotton!

Guo Rong believes that in the case that he cannot bring high-yield and improved varieties to Datang, cotton, an item of great strategic value, is definitely the best dowry for the aspiring Emperor Li Yu.

After seeing the cotton with his own eyes, Guo Rong's stopping action attracted Yan Qing's attention, and Yan Qing came slowly, only to see Guo Rong staring at the glass cup in front of him in a daze, and then spoke.

"How do you sell this glass jar in the store?"

Yan Qing's voice woke up Guo Rong, who was thinking about the value and role of cotton, but Guo Rong's stunned state just now had completely fallen into the eyes of the Hu Ren shopkeeper.

Yan Qing's voice fell, he looked at Guo Rong, and then at Yan Qing, the shopkeeper rolled his eyes and began to tell the story with emotion.

"This nobleman, this glass cup comes from the far west, it has traveled thousands of miles away, crossed the mountains, crossed the sea of sand, from the great food, my hometown accompanied me here, which embodies the deep ...... of my beautiful wife for me"

Guo Rong didn't believe a word about this Hu Shang's words!

Guo Rong has been in Qiuzi for three years, and has met countless people from the Western Regions who are exactly like this guy!

Guo Rong can see at a glance that this Hu merchant is definitely a second-tier dealer from a small country in the Western Regions, and he also came from Dashi, and he also embodies his wife's love, all of them are farts!

However, under Hu Shang's voice, Yan Qing's eyes were already red.

"Originally, it wasn't for sale, but I can understand your feelings, because I also have a loved one, if you really want to give it away," Hu Shang looked at Guo Rong and stretched out two fingers at the same time.

"Twenty, no! Thirty times, at least thirty times, otherwise it will be a stain on your divine love! ”

Just three feet next to this broken bottle, an almost identical thing, just now this thing was said three times, added a story, immediately ten times!

However, Hu Ren turned a blind eye to Guo Rong, whose eyes were about to burst into flames, and instead stared at Yan Qing's eyes tightly, seeing that the fire was almost there, Hu Ren suddenly pointed his finger at the cotton flower inserted in the glass cup.

"Do you see this flower, this is the ...... my wife put on me before I left"

However, Hu Ren turned a blind eye to Guo Rong, whose eyes were about to burst into flames, and instead stared at Yan Qing's eyes tightly, seeing that the fire was almost there, Hu Ren suddenly pointed his finger at the cotton flower inserted in the glass cup.

"Do you see this flower, this is the ...... my wife put on me before I left"

"Yan Wan, take thirty guan to this shop!"

This shamelessness shocked Guo Rong, and he was furious almost instantly.

It's true that Yan Qing is a rich woman, but that's Lao Tzu's mother-in-law, this TM profiteer, burns something with sand that doesn't cost a penny, you dare to sell it with Lao Tzu for thirty yuan!

"Fourteen ......"

"Forget it, Guo Lang, my father said that you seem to like his glass bottle very much, although this one is not as good as that, it can be regarded as my heart for you, okay?"

Yan Qing's tear-stained, soft-spoken voice made Guo Rong instantly dumbfounded, this stupid girl obviously took this story as true, and deliberately breaking this beautiful state at this time was not upright, but stupid.

"Can the store give me this flower too?"

With a look of embarrassment, he pondered for a long time, "Hey, well, I hope my wife doesn't blame me."

Saying that, the shopkeeper took the flower off the glass cup and put it in Yan Qing's hand, "May Allah bless you!" ”

Watching this second-class dealer act to this extent, Guo Rong was also speechless, for the sake of him telling Yan Qing a story, Guo Rong was already ready to pass like this.

Although he was not careful to take revenge, this kind of huge profit stimulated Guo Rong's nerves and strengthened Guo Rong's plan to burn glass after marriage.

Guo Rong really doesn't understand the thing of burning glass with sand, but does this affect the great cause of burning glass?

Obviously, it doesn't matter, even if he will, Guo Rong will definitely not burn the glass himself.

Anyway, Wei Guanzhi approved most of the political and Taoist workshops for himself and Yan Qing's mansion, which was nothing more than building a private kiln from the mansion to burn sand.

Guo Rong fully believed in the wisdom and wisdom of the sons and daughters of China, and with the strength and intelligence of the craftsmen of the Tang Dynasty, it was not a big problem to study the firing method of glass.

After researching it, make a lot of money first, anyway, what you stand up for is military merit, and the money is enough!

After saving almost enough, he began to storm the army, mass production, and he Guo Rong wanted to bankrupt all the glass sellers!

But Guo Rong didn't expect it anyway, after finishing speaking, taking advantage of Yan Qing's efforts to look down at the cotton, the shopkeeper put on a look of "I just did it on purpose, I see what you can do with me."

This time, Guo Rong was first stunned, then shocked, and then the anger that had been extinguished was ignited again, although thirty yuan is a lot, with the net worth of Yan Qing, the top rich woman in the Tang Dynasty, it is really a drop in the bucket.

The problem is that he is wearing a special Mingguang armor made by the commander of the forbidden army, with a silver fish bag around his waist, and two teams of elite soldiers outside.

It stands to reason that businessmen, especially the Hu merchants in Chang'an City, are very discerning, how can they not see their identity!

Contempt and insult to his face like such a senior general of the forbidden army, this bulleer, who gave him the courage?

What's more, Guo Rong has not been able to get the edict of the Changying Army for less than a day!

What is the Long Silky Army?

It is a new army that the Emperor Taishang has given high hopes for, and it is also Guo Rong's hope to return to Qiuzi!

was humiliated in public like this, and it was not only Guo Rong's own face that was beaten, but also Changying's army, Anxi army, and Emperor Taishang Li Yu!

Husband war, courage also!

The army is a place that stresses morale and courage, and a mighty and civilized army is very important, but the ability to recruit and win is the fundamental!

An army without courage is a waste no matter how well equipped and trained it is!

Today, if you can't clean up the Hu Shang in front of you who humiliates you in person, you don't need to form the Changying Army, and you don't need to save Qiuzi, as for Guo Rong himself, don't be a Zhonglang general, just go back to eat soft rice honestly!
