Chapter 147: The encounter between Zhao Kuo and Bai Qi

Inside the Juxian Building,

"Thank you. ”

Cao She slowly got up and gently closed the eyes of Qu Youshan and Fan Yongdou, smelling the rich smell of blood on the tip of his nose, his brows soothed, and whispered, From now on, there will be no three major grain merchants in the county, and the Cao family is not a family of merchants.

"Willing, willing!"

"Sure enough, there is a give-and-take, my father's teachings have always been in mind, and now the opportunity is in front of my Cao family, I will give up this ten thousand family wealth, for my Cao family to change a smooth road. ”

Cao She looked at the two brothers who were still stunned outside the door and smiled.

"The second brother really wants to provide food and grass for the three days of the Southern Expedition?"

Cao De walked into the room, smelling the strong smell of blood, and subconsciously covered his mouth and nose, and the third brother Cao Wen behind him was even more directly on the spot, and vomited after relieving himself on the spot.

"Naturally, nowadays, my Cao family is sending carbon in the snow, and the image on His Highness's side can be much better, and it will be too late to open when the knife holder reaches the neck. ”

"What's more, everyone in the world knows that the three families of my Daijun are rich and rival the country, but who knows how aggrieved they have been in the past few hundred years!"

"Not to mention, there are a few people in the world who can afford our copper-smelling businessmen, although they live a rich life in the house on weekdays, but when they go out, there are many requirements and restrictions, this day is very unpleasant, what is the use of more silver earned by my Cao family?"

"Huh-"

"Now His Royal Highness has left a position for my Cao family. ”

"Counting His Highness's temperament, at least he is a master, and even the household servant is very likely, as long as he enters the household department, how can the old sticks who occupy the pit and don't compare with me?"

"But the origin of our Cao family?"

"Brother doesn't have to care about these things, His Highness has the courage to shout out the courage to sweep away the world, although I don't know what His Highness will do at that time, but just by this sentence, I know that His Highness will definitely not be a person with a personal opinion. ”

"As long as the southern expedition does not go wrong this time, His Royal Highness is not a merciless person, my Cao family may still have a title, the lessons of the Chen family are still in front of me, the ancestors were only a count when they were most glorious, but now they have been sealed as a marquis in Shangjing City for a while. ”

"Brother, this trip will be up to you to go back to Daijun to preside over the follow-up food raising, remember not to have any scruples, even if you scatter all your wealth and sell your land and ancestral business, you must complete the quota of thirty percent. ”

Cao She looked at his brother and said solemnly.

"Foolish brother, save it!"

"Let's go, the spies at home are buried in the Qu family, the Fan family, it's been so many years and it's time to open it, and now that the army is about to march south, I will enter the main household department to dispatch in the center, and the affairs of the county will be troublesome to my brother!"

"The third brother is ...... now"

Cao De looked at the door with a pale face and was still vomiting Cao Wen wanted to speak and stopped, originally when his father was alive, he had already set the trajectory of the three brothers, and the third brother was also competitive, although the Shangjia family had something to do with many gate valves, but when it came to the step of recommendation, there was no silver to spend, even if the door was opened, no one wanted the original money bag to have an extra hand to cover, so now it seems that the seed of reading that is most expected by his father is gone.

"Don't worry. ”

"I have a hunch that His Highness will have something to plan when the world is decided. ”

"I have carefully studied for a long time what His Royal Highness has done since he went out of Beijing, His Royal Highness has been tired of the rotten system, and he is a sentence on the boulder at the mountain gate of the Mountain Academy, opening peace for all generations, often echoing in his mind, thinking that the road of the third brother in the future is much wider than ours, as for the third brother of the sage book has seen enough, in the future, I should learn more to learn the way to govern the world, my Cao family is useful in business, and I may wish to learn to see, maybe the position of the third brother in the future can fall on the head of the third brother. ”

"In the next few months, you will take a look at your brother in Shangjing, and find a shop for you to take care of, and the third brother's road to heaven is at your feet, just see how far you can go. ”

Cao She stepped forward and patted Cao Wen, who was vomiting at the door, on the shoulder, and said resolutely.

......

Outside Juxian Building,

"How many positions are left in the Hundred Commanders' Household Department?"

The originally bustling West Chang Street was separated like a tide after the young man in the python robe marched in, and even after a long time, he could still smell the faint smell of blood on the group.

"Back to His Royal Highness, the previous household department Shangshu and the squire were played by Qin Xiang, beheaded outside the noon gate, and the entire household was implicated in not a few, and now His Majesty has not been on the throne for a long time, Qin Xiang has only entered the court today, and there are vacancies that have not yet been filled, and there are naturally many remaining positions. ”

"There is one person in charge of the household department, one person is in charge, and there are two vacancies left in the three positions of the head of the Duzhi, the head of the gold department, and the head of the warehouse department for His Highness to arrange for scheduling. ”

Bai Xiaosheng pondered for a moment and replied in great detail.

"Has the Espionage Division begun to infiltrate the court now?"

Xu Xian said casually.

"Your Highness, you said that the spy department can see everywhere you go, so after the minister entered Beijing, he began to make arrangements, and now he has a rough understanding of the officialdom of Daqian, and I believe it will not be long before His Highness expects. ”

Bai Xiaosheng bowed and said.

"Your Royal Highness, now the foundation of the Liangzhou Espionage Department has been spread out too much, and the minister of the supervision of hundreds of officials feels that a supervision department should be established, which is unique to the Espionage Department. ”

The voice fell Bai Xiaosheng's head buried very low, when he really accepted the Liangzhou Espionage Division, and had that promise to respond to requests, the effort in his hands for more than a month had developed to an extremely terrifying point, Bai Xiaosheng could see that with the iron riding into this trend will inevitably become stronger and stronger, and then the Espionage Division in his hands will inevitably become a behemoth, so he took the initiative to propose the decentralization.

"You have this heart, it's good. ”

"However, it is too early for the Department of Inspectorate. ”

"What's more, most of the backbone of the spy department are from Liangzhou, presumably this is enough to reassure the hundred commanders. ”

Xu Xian was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then said bluntly.

After speaking, Bai Xiaosheng, who looked at the bow in front of him, faintly revealed a trace of calm bearing, in his previous life, Bai Xiaosheng was able to stir up the world with a weapon book, but in the end, the pattern is too small, and he is even more arrogant, but now it may be that the pattern is bigger, and the arrogance on his body has been restrained to the bones.

"Minister, thank you, Your Highness!"

Bai Xiaosheng breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, the spy department built with the Liangzhou soldiers as the backbone is a life-saving talisman for him, because in the future, no matter what, he will not face the situation he least wants to see.

"Is there ever a mansion surnamed Zhao in Yongle Fang?"

Xu Xian felt the distance of the person in his mind and looked in the direction of Yongle Fang, now that the problem of grain and grass for the army's southern expedition has been solved, it is better for the leaders of the border armies on the left and right roads to settle down early.

"Back to His Royal Highness, there is only one general mansion surnamed Zhao in Yongle Fang. ”

"That's it. ”

Xu Xian's gaze fell on Bai Qi on the side.

"Let's go, let's go to Yongle Fang. ”

"The one who went to find General Bai. ”

......

Yongle Fang,

Zhao Fu,

There is no rockery and flowing water in the backyard of the mansion, there are no pavilions and pavilions, there are no koi flowers, the whole backyard is covered with bluestone, for a big martial arts field, all kinds of weapons are available on the wooden frame, at this moment there are two people sweating like rain on the martial arts field, and the sound of gold and iron is endless.

After a cup of tea,

The young man in the white robe has been wet with sweat on his entire back, on the other hand, the middle-aged man in the scene still looks unfinished, and the iron sword in his hand is powerful and heavy, which is different from the bells and whistles of ordinary martial artists, this is a killing skill honed by long-term fighting in the army.

"Father, let's rest early today. ”

"The child is really not very interested in these knives, guns, clubs, etc. ”

The moment the iron swords collided, the young man laughed bitterly.

"Kuo'er, you have been obsessed with using soldiers since you were a child, and you have been a father for more than ten years, and now Daqing is dead, and the Daqian court is strong, although it is useless to fight in the people of the world all the year round, but it is indeed a rare opportunity for you, and it is not too late to enter the army after a few years, and now is the time to lay the foundation, how can you relax?"

The middle-aged man resisted the sword and spoke out in comfort.

"Father, but what does this martial arts practice have to do with marching and fighting?"

Zhao Kuo put down the long sword in his hand and sat cross-legged on the martial arts arena.

"Ordinary martial artists are only a hundred enemies!"

"Even the second grade that has reached the top of the world is only a thousand enemies!"

"The legendary product is just ten thousand enemies!"

The tone of the white-robed young man was extremely flat and rarely fluctuated,

"Then where is my family's ambition?"

The middle-aged man wiped the sweat from his forehead and asked casually.

"What the child wants to do is 100,000 enemies! 100,000 enemies!"

"Even if the whole world is the enemy?"

"As long as there is an order in hand, I, Zhao Kuo, am not afraid!"

Zhao Kuo's tone was very light,

But in the ears of the middle-aged man, it set off a stormy wave.

On the edge of the martial arts arena,

"Everything in my family is good, but my heart is quite high. ”

The chicken soup in the hands of the well-maintained lady was still steaming, and as soon as she stepped into the martial arts arena, she heard the ambition of the young man, and just sighed and shook her head.

In the field,

"Kuo'er, my father knows very well that the ravines in your chest can be that marching and fighting on the battlefield is not a dead thing, not to mention that you have no experience in marching and fighting, if you lead an army, how can you be a hundred thousand enemies and a million enemies?"

The middle-aged man sighed.

"My father urges you to practice martial arts every day just to sharpen your temperament, if there is really a leader on the day when you don't behave absurdly, there are some things, I hope Kuo'er can understand the hard work of being a father. ”

"Father, Kuo'er has her own plans in her heart, so why worry?"

"What's more, Kuo'er has not yet reached the crown, and it is fashionable to march and fight. ”

"Father, please be at ease. ”

"Now that the martial arts training has been completed, my father might as well accompany Kuo'er to deduce the sand table again. ”

Zhao Kuo put down the long sword in his hand and got up and said,

After speaking, he walked in the direction of the study.

"Kuo'er, this character, hey......"

The middle-aged man looked at the back of his child and smiled helplessly.

"Why should the husband worry, now Kuo'er is still young. ”

"This bowl of chicken soup will be sent to Kuo'er, and I will not go into the study to disturb your father and son to deduce the military affairs, and my woman will have a headache when she looks at the sand table. The beautiful woman handed the chicken soup in her hand to Zhao Hao, and left without bothering.

In the study,

Much larger than the ordinary rich and noble, the first thing you see at the entrance is a large row of wooden bookshelves, the whole bookshelf surrounds the entire study room from south to north, and the top is full of countless military books of the previous dynasty, and the top is the top of the military books, and there is no gray layer, obviously someone often reads and takes care of it.

There is a huge map hanging on the wall of the study, with countless circles and dots outlined, others only think that it is a letter and pen graffiti, but the middle-aged man is indeed willing to enter every time, and his gaze at his own children has changed a lot.

"Father, please!"

In the middle of the study room is placed a huge sand table that is more than two zhang long and more than one zhang wide, and the simulated terrain on the sand table is the terrain of the mountains and rivers on the southern border of Daqian.

"A few days ago, the child made some silver taels, found many merchants in the West Market, asked about the situation of some southern counties, and specially corrected the map for a long time, and spent three or five days of hard work all night, and then barely made it into its current appearance. ”

"It's quite a deviation, but the general trend is correct. ”

"It's enough to deduce. ”

Zhao Kuo lay on the sand table and looked at his father stunned and explained.

"Kuo'er, this ......"

The middle-aged man looked at his child's solemn appearance and smiled helplessly.

"I don't know the strength of Qi and Wei, but I have the courage to send troops, and I don't think it will be less than 600,000. ”

Zhao Kuo paused,

"Less. ”

Zhao Kuo touched his chin,

"Then count my father's army of 800,000. ”

“............”

Zhao Kuo shook his head and pursed his lips, and the latter smiled bitterly.

"I suffered a little bit and led the army to the south. ”

"So let's try?"

"My father can bring the army into the country, and see how I break it. ”

When Zhao Kuo raised his head, there was an inexplicable light in his eyes.

Small flags made of various colored steps have been inserted all over the sand table with wooden sticks.

"Father, please!"

When Zhao Kuo's hand fell on the sand table, the temperament of the whole person had changed, how could he have the previous frivolous appearance, and his face was solemn and solemn.

Half an hour later,

When Zhao Kuo dropped a banner in his hand, the entire sandwork was revitalized, like a sharp guillotine cut off by two great dragons connected to Wei from end to end.

"Whew-"

"Father, are you still dying?"

Zhao Kuo picked up the chicken soup that was already cold on the side, didn't even care about the oil stains condensed above and drank it all, looking at the situation on the sand table and chuckling.

"It's-"

"Lost for the father. ”

The middle-aged man's forehead was already filled with fine beads of sweat, and his hand was in the air looking at the situation on the sand table and he didn't know where to break it, so he had to sigh.

"Husband, there are distinguished guests in the house to ......"

The woman's voice had just come into the study,

The door has been pushed open,

Bai Qi's gaze swept through the study, and he stayed on the map on the wall for a moment before skimming it, but when his eyes fell on the sand table, his pupils dilated and he couldn't take his eyes off.

After a long time,

When he looked up, Bai Qi collided with Zhao Kuo's eyes,

One person is dressed in white and black armor, wears an iron sword at his waist, and kills unparalleled,

Between the eyebrows is the coldness that can't be dissolved,

One person is dressed in a white robe, wearing jade around his waist, young and frivolous,

There was indescribable pride in his eyes.

At this point,

Both of them are crowns, both are teenagers!
