Chapter Seventy-Two: Promoted to Captain of the Fruit
Li Yong's competition won the attention of everyone in Chang'an, and he was in his courtyard, rocking in the rocking chair, many people came to visit him these days, but he didn't see any of them, today came a few bigwigs in the army, he really couldn't push it off, so he let them in, Li Jing and Xu Shiji tasted Li Yong's fried tea, and naturally immediately liked this taste, Xiaoxue's appreciative tea art made the two old men pleasing to the eye.
"Or you kid will live."
"Don't put a high hat on me, you two weasels are kind to the chickens."
"Li Yong, we tell anyone about your identity, because we believe that you naturally have your reasons for doing this, this time we came to you, mainly to talk to you about a few things."
"Li Yong, Li Yong, my old Cheng is here~"
Cheng Biting Jin's loud voice, before the person arrived, the voice came first, the two bigwigs in the army didn't start to speak, this demon king of the mixed world came, Li Yong's other courtyard came at most Cheng Biting Jin, the first few times I was looking for Li Yong to compete, after being kicked away by Li Yong a few times, he didn't compare, and began to play Lai Lai here to eat and drink, so Li Yong was annoyed, Cheng Biting Jin is a person whose skin is thicker than the walls of Chang'an City, Li Yong really can't do anything about him, he is really invincible, Cheng Biting Jin came to the garden in the backyard, Seeing Li Jing and Xu Shiji drinking tea, he scratched his head and walked over, in this army, Cheng Yanjin is afraid of three people, two are sitting here, and the other is Qin Qiong, who is seriously ill.
"Where are the marshals and the military advisors?"
"Why are you here?"
"Dashuai, I, Lao Cheng, came to talk to Li Yong today about something, you have said it in advance."
Li Yong was too lazy to pay attention to this shameless Cheng Biting Jin, saying that there was something wrong, it was nothing more than coming to him to eat.
"Tell me first, this old guy probably won't have anything special to do when he comes to me."
This time, he was in a hurry, and hurriedly said.
"Li Yong, I really have something to do with you today."
As soon as the three of them heard it, it was okay for you to come before, and Cheng Yanjin didn't find anything wrong with what he said, so he continued.
"That's right, second brother, that is, Qin Qiong, he is not Zuo Wuwei's general now, he has not been in good health recently, I heard that Li Yong has the ability, so I want my Lao Cheng to be a lobbyist and let you go to his Zuo Wuwei."
Xu Shiji was not happy when he heard it.
"What are you doing with Li Yong, saying that if you let him go, then go there?"
Cheng Biting Jin is still more afraid of this Xu Shiji, and he didn't dare to talk back when he was criticized, seeing Cheng Biting Jin eating deflated, Li Yong was still very happy, thinking that you still have people to be afraid of, Li Jing and Xu Shiji saw Cheng Biting Jin shut up, and only then did they remember that they came to Li Yong today, and they almost forgot about Cheng Biting Jin's jokes, so the two of them gave Cheng Biting Jin a murderous look at the same time, Cheng Biting Jin instantly squatted in place and was wronged in a circle, who made them the boss.
"Li Yong, let's leave it alone for now, the first thing I will do to you today is your compressed biscuits, I said, I have the opportunity to let you distribute such dry food to all our troops, and in the future, our army's dry food will no longer have to eat that kind of paste that is difficult to swallow."
"Yes, after I tasted the compressed biscuits given by the marshal, I felt that it was a masterpiece of heaven, if our army can use this kind of dry food, the pressure on the baggage will be greatly reduced, and our army's mobile combat capability will also be greatly improved."
Cheng Biting Jin, who was drawing circles on the ground, was also interested when he heard it, what compressed biscuits, or a new type of dry food for the army, listening to the two of them say this, it seemed to be very powerful, looking at Cheng Biting Jin's eyes glowing, Li Yong signaled to Chunlan, Chunlan walked into the warehouse in the backyard, and after a while, she came over with a few long strips of black cloth wrapped in black cloth, this thing is no stranger to Li Jing and Xu Shiji, they have already tasted this thing when they were Turkic, but Cheng Biting Jin has never seen it, and he looked at the things in Chunlan's hand very curiously, If it weren't for Li Jing and Xu Shiji, he would have robbed it, and now he can only stay honestly, Li Yong took the compressed biscuit in Chunlan's hand, one to Li Jing, one to Xu Shiji, and the last one to Cheng Yanjin, whose eyes were shining.
"You are talking about this thing, I have it, but the price is not low, you know, these things have a production cost, although I have an official position and a title, but you also know, I have never received a copper coin from the imperial court, you also know that my family has a big business, I can only do a little business to feed my family, if the court wants to buy, then if you have money, don't be like the last time the horse made everyone unhappy, did the two of you say so?"
Li Yong's meaning is that you can do business, but you have to pay money with one hand and deliver the goods with the other, no credit, Cheng Biting Jin doesn't care about the things they talk about, because these things are not his turn to talk about, he opened the black cloth and looked at the compressed biscuits inside, smelled the taste and felt very fragrant, but it was a little small, he ate it in a few bites, and felt as if he didn't eat anything, and then his eyes stared at Li Jing and Xu Shiji's hands, and the two of them saw Cheng Biting Jin like this, so they gave him all their compressed biscuits, Cheng Biting Jin didn't know, The piece he ate just now was already a black army's rations, he ate three pieces at once, and ate three meals at once, Li Yong could also see that the two old foxes wanted to trick Cheng Cheng shamelessly, because the meaning of Li Yong's words just now made them a little unhappy, Cheng Biting Jin was the punching bag sent over, Li Yong couldn't cooperate with the two veterans, watching Cheng Biting Jin eat the two pieces beautifully, Li Yong asked Xiaoxue to give Cheng Biting Jin tea, the compressed biscuits were dry, and they had to drink water to make the compressed biscuits in the stomach fluffy, Cheng Biting Jin also felt thirsty, and he drank several cups of tea before he felt that he was not so dry, but he slowly found that something was wrong, how did he feel that his stomach was very swollen, as if he had eaten a lot of things and was very full, Cheng Biting Jin was stunned or not, he didn't know the effect of compressing biscuits It was really stupid, he looked at the two old foxes and a little fox in surprise, and finally understood, and then stood up and left Li Yong's courtyard angrily, and when he left, he didn't forget to say "I'm still back~" After seeing Cheng Biting Jin leave, The conversation between them is also a little easier, but Li Jing and the others also know that now the imperial court is really out of money in the treasury because of the sharp reduction in commercial taxes, and Li Yong is also drunk on the Ministry of Finance of the Tang Dynasty. Now be honest and don't get into trouble.
"First of all, we will go back and invite the saint, rest assured that this time we will not let you do it in vain, but I also hope that you can be cheaper, after all, you also know the situation of the treasury. As for the second thing, we want to learn your Black Army training methods. ”
Li Yong laughed when he heard this.
"No, Dashuai, are you teasing me? What is there to learn about my training methods, you are all military masters, when you were on the battlefield, I was not born yet, not to mention that I was just a little Xuanjie captain, just a bastard waiting for death, you look down on me too much. ”
Li Jing and Xu Shiji glanced at each other, and Xu Shiji said lightly.
"For this, I have already discussed it with the marshal, and I have also obtained the consent of the saint, from today onwards, you will be Captain Zhiguo of Zuo Wuwei, and you will be in charge of a team similar to that of the Black Army."
Li Yong listened to the rocking chair and stood up, you just said that Cheng Biting Jin was a lobbyist for Qin Qiong, now it's good, you have all been appointed to the personnel, and you directly threw Zuo Wuwei to Lao Tzu, and was also responsible for training a team that imitated the Black Army, but he knew that the two old foxes must not have told Li Er that he was the commander of the Black Army, otherwise Li Er's hundred horsemen would have come to arrest him a long time ago, and now he has been the Xuanjie Captain of the Eighth Rank for a short time, and now he is directly promoted to three levels, although he is still a military officer, but he is going to be a real power officer in the guard. He can command 750 men with one lieutenant.
"The two of you are really good at playing, just give the kid me a seventh-grade Zhiguo captain, should I thank you?"
"You are capable, we have seen your black army in the Turks, thousands of people have turned the Turks upside down."
Li Yong has no way to deal with these two old foxes, they are at the level of a commander in the army, if they are equipped with the same equipment, they will definitely not be able to beat them. Now he can only resign himself to fate, the relationship with Li Er has just eased, and he has made a marriage with Li Li, after all, marriage is not marriage, and now at this time, he can't go against the grain. Seeing Li Yong sit back in the rocking chair, he didn't look like he was opposed, but he just knew that he agreed, and sure enough, Li Yong said lazily.
"I know about this, I just follow the arrangement, do you have anything to do? It's okay, I don't care about the meal. ”
The two old foxes got up and left, after all, they were not as thick-skinned as Cheng Yanjin, eating and drinking at Li Yong's house, but Li Yong was not a stingy person, when they left, one person sent a few bottles of Xishan first-line heavenly specials, and some compressed biscuits, after all, this business is going to be done, and they need some samples for them to take, the two happily took the things and left Li Yong's courtyard, Chunlan and Xiaoxue asked Li Yong worriedly.
"Childe, are you really going to Zuo Wuwei?"
"Do I have any other choice now? Headache. ”
Li Yong had no choice, so he picked up the waist card left by Li Jing when they left, with his name and official position written on it. So early the next morning, Li Yong took Li Tiezhu, wearing light armor and wearing a long knife, and rode to the station of Zuo Wuwei.
