Duan Zhichun hurriedly went. The emperor felt that there was hope for Dali to continue, and he couldn't help but smile on his face. But seeing her daughter frowning, she didn't look a little happy, she couldn't help but feel puzzled, and asked, "Qionghua, don't you think your imperial uncle's plan is not good?" ”

Qionghua sighed and said, "Father, as the saying goes, it's easy to ask God and it's hard to send God." Invite the Tianzhu people, who can guarantee that after defeating Yan Yun, the Tianzhu people will leave obediently? The emperor was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but worry.

Qiong Hua said: "If the Tianzhu people don't leave, how should we deal with it?" Isn't this a rejection of wolves at the front door and a tiger at the back door? ”

The emperor frowned and thought for a while, sighed, and said, "Now I can only bet on this one!" After a pause, "I think that since Tianzhu is the kingdom of the Buddha, he must not do that kind of treacherous thing!" Qionghua smiled bitterly, and wanted to persuade again, but she felt that she was persuading so much, what was it for? Persuade the father emperor and Dali to surrender to Yanyun? In this way, it is better to let the Tianzhu people fight with the Yanyun people! Tigers and wolves are fighting, maybe Dali will have a chance to survive. As soon as he thought of this, he didn't say anything anymore, and bowed: "Father, the son has gone to the harem to visit his mother." The emperor smiled and nodded, and said, "Your mother has always been very concerned about you, and she must be very happy to know that you are back!" Qionghua's eyes showed a look of longing, bowed to her father, Emperor Yingying, and went down.

There was a sea of people outside the gate of the Bianliang City Mansion, and hundreds of businessmen gathered outside the gate to watch the announcement just issued by the Bianliang City Mansion. A tall businessman read aloud: "According to the order of King Yan and the cabinet ministers, starting from this year, all the needs of the government, that is, the military, will be open to public bidding and procurement. Anyone who thinks he or she is able to do so can participate in the bidding exercise. The bidding time is set for one month before the Spring Festival. At that time, willing parties can go to the Yamen to receive the bidding catalogue to inquire about various matters, and the bidders can choose the bidding project according to their own conditions. The relevant parties will select the best suppliers according to the bidding situation of all parties. ”

And the crowd began to discuss. A thin man hurriedly asked a government official standing next to the bulletin board: "My lord, if the villain understands correctly, is it now that the various needs of the government and the military have to be openly purchased from the people?" Everyone's eyes were on each other.

The official smiled: "This boss is right, that's it." However, it is not entirely true that the military's ordnance armor will not be open to civilian procurement, but will be open to the various needs of local governments and the military's various pursuits in addition to ordnance and armor. ”

The thin man wanted to ask, but another chubby businessman took the lead and asked, "My lord, what's going on with this bidding?" What exactly are we supposed to do? ”

The official said with a smile: "The bidding is the government's release of demand to the society, and willing businessmen can come to participate in the bidding." For example, in the past, the government recruited migrant workers to do the dredging of the Bianhe River, but now it is taken out and the businessmen in the society are responsible. The specific method is that interested businessmen will submit bids to the government, and the relevant parties will choose the best party to undertake the project according to the merits of the bids. To put it bluntly, the government came to buy goods from the merchants, or asked you to undertake a certain project. However, who will do it is not up to the government to appoint, but everyone competes. This competition is reflected in various aspects, such as its own capabilities, the quality of goods, in addition to the price, as well as the stability of the supply and the supply of goods, etc., at that time, the specific requirements of all aspects will be detailed, you don't have to worry. I also need to explain here that the government does not only look at the strength of the supplier, but also considers all other aspects, so the relatively weak but can provide better services may have a better chance of winning. ”

Everyone talked about it, and they all looked eager to try. Although some businessmen feel that their own strength is not enough, but they feel that this kind of thing might as well give it a try, if they are lucky to be selected, they will make a fortune, if they are not selected, it doesn't matter, they have nothing to lose.

A few good businessmen walked into the Fan Building while chatting and sat down at an empty table. asked for some food and drink, and several people were eating and drinking while talking about government procurement, all of them looking excited.

At the next table, there was a heroic young man in civilian clothes, who was Yang Peng. Accompanying by the side, wearing a pink tunic dress, graceful, green silk hanging shoulders, extremely beautiful, as if the beautiful eyes that can speak naturally reveal a bit of charming temperament, even if this woman is not the end of the 800 years of the Great Shang Daji, but also the legendary Xi Shi who sinks fish and geese, it is Yang Peng's concubine Zhao Jinxi.

Zhao Jinxi heard the discussion at the adjacent table, smiled slightly, and said to Yang Peng: "Husband, everyone is very energetic about government procurement!" ”

Yang Peng smiled.

Zhao Jinxi said: "The concubine guesses that the purpose of the husband doing this must be to further activate the market, right?" ”

Yang Peng showed surprise, glanced at Zhao Jinxi, and said with a smile: "Okay, you can actually see it." Zhao Jin said happily: "The concubine body is just guessing randomly, but I didn't expect to be guessed by the concubine body!" Yang Peng looked at the smiling and beautiful wife in front of him, and only felt that he was afraid that he had underestimated her in the past, and she was also a woman with a lot of insight in Lan Xinhui. As soon as he thought of this, he had the heart to test her, and said: "Zhao Jinxi, in your opinion, is government procurement good for our officials?" ”

Zhao Jinxi thought for a while and said, "This must also be beneficial." As in the past, the government only procures materials from state-owned industries, which inevitably makes state-owned industries lazy and careless! Nowadays, if this method of competition is adopted, the state-run industry will inevitably develop a sense of crisis, and in order to win in the competition with others, it will have to go all out and be careful, so that the efficiency of the state-run industry will be increased, the cost will be reduced, and finally the officials will get better and cheaper things. Looking at Yang Peng, he said with a smile: "In this way, you can save a lot of money for more critical places!" Yang Peng smiled slightly.

Zhao Jinxi frowned and continued: "But if this matter doesn't work well, I'm afraid there will be a situation that everyone doesn't want to see." If some key officials collude with certain businessmen, I am afraid that the government will eventually spend more money and buy bad things. ”

"The girl couldn't be more right!" The chubby merchant at the next table suddenly interjected.

Yang Peng and Zhao Jinxi looked at each other and smiled. At this time, several businessmen at that table saw Zhao Jinxi's appearance clearly, and they were all stunned, and shouted in their hearts: 'Good girl! It's so beautiful! She, is she a fairy? How could there be such a beautiful woman in the world!? Several people came back to their senses and said in their hearts: "Such a beautiful woman, I am afraid that she is not inferior to the legendary Princess Yanwang!" They secretly glanced at Zhao Jinxi, and the fat businessman smiled: "The girl is really extraordinary!" But I don't think there's anything to worry about! ”

Zhao Jinxi heard curiously: "I want to ask for advice, why don't you worry about this matter?" ”

The fat merchant was about to speak, and the tall and thin merchant next to him hurriedly said, "How wise King Yan is, this kind of thing must have been thought of a long time ago!" Arrangements will definitely be made to prevent this from happening! The merchants nodded. Zhao Jinxi glanced at Yang Peng with admiration. Yang Peng smiled slightly and asked the businessmen, "Are you all planning to participate in the bidding?" Several businessmen nodded, and the fat businessman said, "Such a good opportunity, it's a pity not to participate!" The tall and thin merchant said: "Although in terms of our strength, the odds of winning are not great, but this kind of thing is not easy to say who will win, and there are many things in this gutter that capsize the boat!" The other merchants nodded approvingly.

The tall and thin merchant continued: "There is nothing to lose if you lose, but if you are lucky enough to win one or two bets, haha, then you will be developed!" Maybe we'll rise from it! A businessman next to him laughed and said: "Just you, even if you win one bet or two bets, you won't make a few more money, if you want to become one of those big businessmen, dream of you!" The tall and thin merchant glared and said, "Who will say what hasn't happened yet!" Those big businessmen, which one of them didn't start from a small one! Lao Tzu is no worse than them, and now that King Yan values businessmen so much, Lao Tzu doesn't believe that he can't do it! ”

When the other merchants heard this, they fell silent, and their eyes radiated a strange brilliance, and it seemed that the words of the tall and thin merchant had aroused the ambition of the people.

"Yan, big brother!" A voice of surprise suddenly came.

Yang Peng and Zhao Jinxi couldn't help but follow the prestige, only to see Yang Qi, who was dressed in civilian clothes, rushing towards her, and the mighty and handsome Yang Gui followed behind her. Yang Peng couldn't help but be overjoyed.

Yang Qi ran to the table, hugged his fists and said, "Big brother!" Then he bowed to Zhao Jinxi again: "Hello sister-in-law!" My sister-in-law is getting more and more beautiful! Zhao Jinxi smiled and said, "The girl is becoming more and more smart!" Yang Qi smiled happily. At this time, Yang Gui walked up, respectfully bowed to Yang Peng and Zhao Jinxi, and whispered: "I've seen King Yan, I've seen Niangniang!" ”

Yang Peng waved his hand and said, "Don't be so restrained, come on, sit down, let's eat and talk!" Then he called the maid and asked her to bring some food and drink. Yang Gui sat down next to Yang Peng, and Yang Qi sat down next to Zhao Jinxi. After a while, a few kinds of wine and food were served, all of which were good, and the maid smiled and said, "Use it slowly." And he withdrew.

Yang Qi glanced at the moving figure of the departing maid and sighed: "This Fan Lou is really different!" The restaurants in the world are all Xiaoer, but here are maids. ”

Yang Peng said with a smile: "The first restaurant in the world is naturally extraordinary!" However, Fan Lou's approach has been imitated by many restaurants. Not to mention other places, now the restaurants in Bianliang City, the scale of the shops, basically use maids to run the hall! Yang Qi showed surprise and asked, "Is that so?" Yang Peng nodded with a smile, and then laughed self-deprecatingly: "But now this kind of thing has become a crime for me in the mouths of those Confucian defenders!" said that I deviated from the norm and acted perversely, so that the social etiquette collapsed, and one by one young women came out to show their heads, and the atmosphere was very bad! ”

Yang Qi was furious and scolded: "It's nonsense! She said this angrily, did not suppress her voice, in the noisy lobby of the Fan Lou still looked very loud, the surrounding drinkers looked sideways, seeing that it was a vibrant and pleasant little girl, they couldn't help but smile, and continued to eat and drink their own.

Yang Gui frowned and said, "These Confucian students are really full and have nothing to do!" ”

Yang Qi nodded thoughtfully, and said: "Before the eldest brother, the world was full of Goolan Courtyard, so many laughing women, why don't you see those guys say the first half of the sentence!" Hmph, those people still enjoy lingering in the Qinglou Red Pavilion, but now they are all serious, which is really disgusting! He looked at Yang Peng and said, "Big brother, if you want me to say, all Confucian students should be arrested, these things are a waste of food!" Yang Qi's words were still very loud, and at this moment, the entire hall fell silent, and everyone looked at Yang Qi with surprised eyes. Seeing this, Yang Qi glared at the drinkers and shouted, "Look at what!" The drinkers were taken by her momentum, and they couldn't help but feel a pang in their hearts, and quickly looked away, and the lobby was noisy again.

A drinker whispered to his companion at the same table: "That girl is beautiful, but she is too fierce!" A drinker next to him glanced at Yang Qi in the distance, and said in a low voice: "I think she must not be an ordinary person, nine times out of ten she is Yanyun's general!" Everyone thought so, and then one of them laughed and said: "It is really interesting to say that Confucianism is a waste of food!" A person next to him smiled: "That's right!" What can Confucian scholars do? You can't farm, you can't work, you can't go to the battlefield, you can't do business, you can't be an official, damn it, you're a fucking corrupt official! Aren't these grandchildren just waste of food? The crowd laughed. Not far from them, there were a few young people who looked like scholars, their faces were blue and white, and they were very ugly.

Yang Peng smiled and said to Yang Qi: "Eighth sister, you can speak quietly!" Yang Qi sighed.

Yang Peng asked, "When did you come back?" ”

Yang Qi smiled: "We just returned to Bianliang today!" I went to the palace to meet my eldest brother just now, but I heard that my eldest brother was not there, so I went to Fan Lou with Yang Gui. I didn't expect to see my eldest brother and sister-in-law in Fan Lou. ”

Yang Peng and Zhao Jinxi looked at each other and smiled.

Yang Gui hugged his fists and said: "Regarding the matter in the west, you need to report to King Yan." Yang Peng waved his hand and said: "It's time to eat, don't talk about this." Picked up the chopsticks and gave each of them a chopstick dish, and the two were flattered and hurriedly picked up the bowl. Yang Peng said with a smile: "Let go of eating, let go of drinking, today I am a treat for my brother!" The two of them only felt warm in their hearts, nodded, and ate and drank. However, although it is said to be released, in front of King Yan, where can the two really let go! Usually Yang Gui drinks wine and eats meat in a big bowl, with the spirit of Yan Zhao Haojie, but at this time, he eats with chopsticks and chopsticks, and he doesn't drink wine; What about Yang Qi, hehe, usually women don't let their eyebrows be shaved, but at this time they just act like a lady.

Yang Peng and Yang Gui chatted about things in the west while eating and drinking. Zhao Jinxi chatted with Yang Qi. Zhao Jinxi smiled and said, "Sister Yang Qi, Manager Yang found you a mother-in-law, right?" ”

Yang Qi's face immediately turned red, and he shook his head and said, "Why not?" ”

Zhao Jinxi smiled: "It's our sister Yang Qi's high vision." Tell my sister if there is a man you like, my sister will tell you. ”

Yang Qi's face was so red that he seemed to be dripping blood, and he shook his head and said, "I don't want these things!" ”

Zhao Jinxi refused to let her go, and said, "Sister, I don't believe that you don't have a favorite man!" ”

"Not really!"

Zhao Jinxi smiled and asked, "So what kind of person does my sister hope to be in the future?" Yang Qi felt a little shy, his face couldn't help but show a look of fantasy, and he couldn't help muttering: "I hope he can be like Brother Yanwang, a brave and invincible general!" is also like Brother Yanwang, who is a very interesting person! When I came back to my senses, I found that I had said so many things that I shouldn't have said, and I was so ashamed that I almost wanted to find a hole to drill into, and I kept my head down. Zhao Jinxi glanced at Yang Peng and pursed his lips and smiled.

A few people finished their meal and came out of the Fan Building. Yang Gui and Yang Qi said goodbye to Yang Peng and Zhao Jinxi and went home. Yang Yanzhao, like other meritorious generals, had officially rewarded housing in Bianliang, and Yang Yanzhao's mansion was on West Street, which was originally the residence of a high-ranking official in the Song Dynasty.

Yang Peng didn't want to go back for a while, so he walked along the street accompanied by Zhao Jinxi. In front of me is the endless speechlessness, the endless flow of people, Bianliang City has now far surpassed the most prosperous time of the year. Today's Bianliang is not only the center of the whole Yanyun, but also the center of the whole East Asia, among the people walking through the streets, in addition to the Han people, there are all kinds of strangely dressed outsiders, not to mention the grassland people, the Nanban people, and from time to time you can see those Westerner faces with crosses, high noses and deep eyes, and fair skin. There are also all kinds of strange goods that make their way through the streets, from heavily armored rhinos to giraffes with slender necks, to name a few. Bianliang can now be said to be a real cosmopolitan city!

Zhao Jinxi saw that the direction of her husband's journey was Fengyue Street, and her face couldn't help but show surprise, but although she was very proud in her heart, she didn't ask.

The two of them walked into Fengyue Street, only to see exquisite courtyards on both sides of the street, as in the past, there were couplets hanging outside the gate of each courtyard, explaining the situation of the Qing people in the courtyard with verses. Yang Peng smiled: "I still remember the two sentences at the door of Zhao Jinxi's house back then. Zhao Jinxi smiled, revealing a look of memory, and said leisurely: "The concubine still remembers the scene of the first meeting that day!" Looking at Yang Peng, his eyes showed a strange look, "The husband dared to confront the warriors of the Xixia Dynasty in the middle of the day, and the concubine was very curious at that time, what kind of person is the husband?" How can you be so fearless! When she saw her husband take off her shirt, revealing the scars all over her body, the concubine was completely shocked, and the concubine couldn't imagine how many tragic battles a man with such a scar had experienced! The husband fought with the warrior, and actually suppressed such a fierce barbarian, and the air covered the sky and the mighty was unbelievable! At that time, the concubine was sure that the husband must be a great hero! ”

Yang Peng asked curiously; "Could it be that Zhao Jinxi secretly promised me at that time?"

Zhao Jinxi didn't speak, but the look on his face was obviously acquiescing. Yang Peng grabbed Zhao Jinxi's slender hand, and said angrily: "Since I had already secretly promised it at that time, why was I still cold and indifferent to me later?" Zhao Jinxi turned around and said, "The concubine was actually very scared at that time!" Seeing that Yang Peng showed a puzzled expression, he said with some embarrassment: "Husband knows......"

Yang Peng suddenly realized and said movingly: "You are all for me!" ”

Zhao Jinxi's face flushed slightly, lowered his head and brushed his sideburns, and said; "It can't be said that the concubine body is actually for self-preservation."

Yang Peng smiled and asked angrily: "If you say that, aren't you afraid that I will be jealous?" Zhao Jinxi glanced at Yang Peng charmingly, and said, "I am really happy to be able to make my husband jealous, and I am really happy to be a concubine!" ”

Yang Peng smiled slightly, and couldn't help but hug Zhao Jinxi tightly in his arms.

The literati and rioters around them would smile when they saw the two people hugging each other. Immediately saw Zhao Jinxi's stunning appearance, and his heart was shocked, revealing an extremely amazing expression. Suddenly, someone exclaimed: "It's Miss Zhao Jinxi!" It's Miss Zhao Jinxi! There was an uproar at the scene.

Yang Peng smiled: "Zhao Jinxi's fame is much better than mine!" Zhao Jinxi smiled. At this moment, someone called: "That is Miss Jin Xi, and the one next to her must be King Yan!" Someone immediately chimed in: "Yes, yes, yes, it's King Yan!" King Yan is here! There was a hint of surprise in the voice. The shouts spread quickly, and then thousands of people gathered over and bowed one after another: "Meet King Yan!" Meet the Yan King! ......" The Feifeng female guard and the secret guard who were not far away saw this scene and hurriedly ran over to protect them.

Zhao Jinxi said to Yang Peng charmingly: "The husband is Haoyue!" The concubine's body is just the little star next to Haoyue! ”

Yang Peng smiled, saw that there were people kneeling around, excited shouts came one after another, frowned, and said, "There is no way to go around this street, let's go back." Zhao Jinxi nodded gently. The two men departed under the escort of the guards.

When the people saw that King Yan and Zhao Jinxi were gone, they stood up one after another, and there was a lot of discussion on the spot. Those Qingqi people who were laughing on Fengyue Street, everyone looked into the distance, revealing envy, and one Qingqi person sighed faintly and muttered: "Zhao Jinxi is really lucky!" Why don't I have the same good fortune as her? A scholar next to him hurriedly offered his courtesy and said: "Xiaosheng has a deep love for Miss!" The Qingqi man showed contempt, "Hmph! Do you also deserve to be compared to King Yan? ”

After all, what happens next, let's see how it will be broken down next time.
