Chapter 257 Negotiations must also be equal

Now the courts in the capital have developed a habit of discussing what they are discussing, as long as the pigeons from Yizhou fly over, they will be interrupted and Gao Lishi will get the news back.

In fact, if there is war in other places, the message in Yizhou is transmitted quickly and it is a little more frequent. Not only is there news from the front line, but also a series of things Zhang Zhong did.

Old Man Bi and Old Man Yao were like spies who invaded the enemy, blatantly collecting information and then analyzing it. If you don’t understand, ask Zhang Zhong. After sorting it out, you will immediately send it to the capital with pigeons, so that people in the capital can see which one can be used in other areas.

Of course, there are also things that cannot be said. For example, if the Zhang family uses dead people to conduct research, they will not report this matter, and the officials in the court do not need to report it. They have known it a long time ago, and they have acquiesced to the Zhang family to do it secretly, but they must not be taken out and explained it clearly.

It would be troublesome to let the people know, and they had no intention of stopping them. Instead, they did not use their own family to study. If one day it was their turn to be hurt, they would still rely on the medical school to save them.

Now it's three pigeons flying at one time. Because one time, two pigeons were not in the place, there was a gap between the contents sent next time. The court sent eight hundred miles to report it to him.

I don’t know if the two pigeons were tired of flying and found a place to settle down, or if they were cleaned up by something, so I added another pigeon to make it safer.

Li Longji stopped talking. Although it was important for overseas expansion, it was far worse than Yizhou. As long as the Zhang family in Yizhou was there, it would be fine to ask his family whether to use force or business to encroach on it.

Gao Lishi walked all the way and watched as he returned to the court. Everyone could guess from his expressions. After losing Xiaobao, Juanjuan and the army some time ago, Gao Lishi's face was so gloomy that water was about to drip out of water.

Today is different. Gao Lishi, who was already very handsome, became energetic, with his eyebrows raised and his lips curled up. The ministers understood that this was a good thing.

"But there is news about Juanjuan and Xiaobao?" Li Longji sat on it and asked calmly. If he didn't ask on his own initiative, he would be really calm. Now that he asked, it means that he was not showing what he was doing.

Gao Lishi nodded but did not make a sound, as if he had not recovered from joy. A minister next to him whispered, "General Gao, your Majesty is asking you."

"Ah? Oh, Master, good news, I won." Gao Lishi was shocked and replied quickly.

Li Longji nodded, without saying a word, and waited for Gao Lishi to continue talking.

The ministers were also waiting, not sure which aspect won. Jiannandao fought two wars at the same time, one military and the other economic and military, and the other economically. The economy is not bad.

"Your Majesty, Yizhou came to report. Under Xiaobao's command, Jiannan Economic War successfully defeated Tubo, swallowed up all the funds invested by Tubo, and implicated the local merchants who cooperated with Tubo. The farming people had a slight income, and the rest of the people did not suffer much loss. The Zhang family is preparing to compensate the people who have lost money due to the rush to buy high-priced grain."

Gao Lishi said it to everyone, and a courtier next to him curled his lips and muttered: "The Zhang family is kind-hearted. The people go to buy it themselves. Why bother with them if they lose it? Don't you know that when the purchase is being bought, you are helping the Tubo people?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Gao Lishi heard it and said to him: "This is a bad word. How could the people know that Jiannan was in a secret battle where they could not see blood but could kill people? Since they could not kill Tubo directly before they were killed, they would be responsible to the people."

"Yes, keep talking." Li Longji made a statement and helped Gao Lishi.

"Your Majesty, according to the data statistics from the Zhang family, Tubo and the merchants invested 400,000 yuan in economic attacks on Jiannan. The leverage effect has magnified the investment by five times. Jiannan Road has suffered nearly 2 million yuan in hot money.

The Zhang family invested 25 jin in succession, and in the form of futures contracts, they formulated half of the leverage operation methods of Tubo. Through technology and ***, they successfully used technology and *** to successfully save the money invested by Tubo and merchants. They cooperated with other local merchants to stabilize the market reputation of tricycles and directly attacked the acquisition of Tubo livestock in the name of the fact that the newly built road surface is suitable for tricycles to drive.

The specific operation method will be sent later. This economic war was commanded by Xiaobao in Tubo remotely. When he returned, he said that there were too many regrets that he could not control at any time."

Gao Lishi tried to use a plain tone tone. As for all the words, officials in the court knew that they had to learn them now and understood them as soon as they heard them.

Li Longji nodded slightly. He didn't understand the details inside. He needed to wait and report the news that came to the capital to make it clear. This was the first time he had seen what the real economic war looked like. I think the specific things must not be as dull as I saw on the surface.

A minister next to him suddenly asked, "General Gao, I don't know what the money invested by Tubo and the merchants who cooperated with him have gone? Some of them have taken over by those with food, so they can't account for 400,000 chunks? Where is the money spent on local rushing to buy people?"

"I didn't say this, I think it was taken by the Zhang family." Gao Lishi replied.

"If the Zhang family took it, who should the money end up with?" the minister asked again.

Others couldn't help but think, yes, will the money be given to the Zhang family in the end? Will the Zhang family think that as long as they fight an economic war, they can get benefits and make it come out and have nothing to do in the future?

Gao Lishi did not directly answer other people's questions, but continued to say to Li Longji: "Your Majesty, Juanjuan has returned and won a great victory. He attacked Tubo continuously, burned countless food and grass, killed countless enemies, defeated Tubo's iron cavalry troops, and returned from the snow-capped mountains. The specific situation will be known when the battle reports are reported.

This sneak attack and killing the enemy was also in order to cooperate with Xiaobao's economic war. Tubo is in danger this winter. Xiaobao wants to exchange excess grain in Jiannan for low-priced livestock in Tubo, and use the livestock he has received in the local transportation and farming areas of Jiannan Road, and only charge a small amount of use fees. This fee will be added to the local clinic in the future."

Now the ministers understood that the Zhang family gave the benefits to the entire Jiannan Road. The people who really got the money were the people of Jiannan Road and the local governments, and the Zhang family did not ask for that money.

The minister who was asked just now couldn't say anything.

Li Longji was also not sure about the specific matters of Wang Juan's battle, so he could only wait for subsequent news to come.

"So, Tubo is short of food now, and the army has been beaten to lose morale. Within a few years, the ministers will tell you when will Zhang Zhong come back and where will he arrange it? How should Juanjuan and Xiaobao be rewarded?"

Li Longji considered it and asked the ministers.

Now the court is lively, and there are all things to say. Some say that Wang Juan should lead more troops to continue attacking Tubo, instead of using food to exchange for Tubo’s livestock. After the hunt is taken, will there be livestock?

Some people say that Zhang Zhong should be asked to return to the capital to be a free official. After all, he has done too many things and needs rest. This means that Zhang Zhong’s reputation in the local area is getting higher and higher, so he should give it a try.

Some people suggested that Zhang Zhong continue to be the governor of a state, and that Xiaobao and Juanjuan also arranged for him to be an official in the local area.

In short, there are all kinds of things to say. What's more, Xiaobao will be asked to participate in next year's imperial examination. Because Zhang Zhong is the governor, there is no problem in getting Xiaobao a juren's identity, and the exam can be saved. If it can be done, Xiaobao will be an official in the court.

Li Longji was also considering this issue. Zhang Zhong’s position was simple for him, just arrange a place, even if he went to Beijing, it would be fine.

The main ones are Xiaobao and Juanjuan. Needless to mention the ability of the two. One of them is good at fighting and can only use defensive means when the troops are less than four times that of the enemy. How crazy is this? A general with real power is arranged, but he dares not object.

Xiaobao didn't seem to kill many Tubo people so directly, but an economic war in Jiannandao could win so quickly under long-range command. It was absolutely not bad for the economy. It was expected that the enemy would first set up Tubo and the eleventh person who was arranged by the Monopoly Game List was not able to fight back.

If he arranges a county magistrate for him, he will definitely do it well, not to mention that he has the help of his family.

But the two children are too young. According to the rules, once the positions are arranged in the local area, you cannot be in the same place with your family, and you don’t know whether they are willing or not. If you don’t, you can’t do anything to the two children.

During the debate, time passed quickly, and the usual morning court had already passed. If you continue to argue like this, you probably won’t have to eat any more food.

Gao Lishi did not participate. He was thinking about when he would meet Xiaobao and Juanjuan’s real person and let Xiaobao be his adopted son, and he was worried that Xiaobao would quit.

After waiting for a while, seeing that there was no conclusion of the argument, Gao Lishi came to Li Longji and whispered: "Your Majesty, why not wait until the New Year, Zhang Zhong comes back and ask his family to see what his family plans. There is another thing to benefit the Zhang family. The Zhang family proposed that the land they want in Jiannan Road or Hebei Road. We should always think about whether to give it or not?"

"If you give it, how can you calm people's hearts if you don't give it? But I heard that the Zhang family is not planning to ask for a place in Jiannan Road. They just want to go to Hebei Road, but I don't want to give it to Hebei Road. His family wants to raise horses. Hebei Road is too close to the sea and his family's shipping is large. What should we do?"

Li Longji thought of the news that last time he came, the Zhang family wanted a place to raise horses and a desert. The desert was easy to say, and it was not the land of the Tang Dynasty, so I gave it to him. The Zhang family also specially cultivated people who could adapt to the cold on the snow-capped mountains, which meant that they were coming to Hebei Road.

This is a dilemma. You should not use people so casually, otherwise it will easily lead to big mistakes.

Gao Lishi didn’t know what to say, mainly because the layout of the Zhang family is hard to understand. What should I do when I run to Hebei Road?

Li Longji didn't have to let Gao Lishi come up with any ideas. He just said casually. After thinking about it, he said, "If this is the case, then arrange it to Fengzhou. It is always close to the capital than Hebei Road, and it is not close to the sea. It has a small population. Even if the Zhang family wants to do nothing, how about it?"

Gao Lishi nodded. In fact, he didn't want the Zhang family to get a piece of land there, which made the court too stingy. If there was heavy snow there, it would be inconvenient to get in contact with the place. Even if the Zhang family sent people there, the news would be blocked.

When the emperor said this, he had almost made a decision and his objection was not very effective. Moreover, the Zhang family had great ability to make money, and it was not a little bad. Xiaobao and the others would not go to Fengzhou in person.

Li Longji seemed to think that this was a bit bad, so he said again: "You can set aside more land in Fengzhou."

Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan were still telling stories to the little guys at their home in Yizhou, and turning the things on the Tubo battlefield into fairy tales. They didn't know that the capital had already fought for their family affairs.

It is even less clear that when the subsequent methods were not yet useful, Li Longji had already arranged the place to Fengzhou as they had imagined.

"On this day, the army of the Tang Dynasty came to the desert. There were a lot of sand in the desert. It didn't hurt if it fell on it at all. Unlike other deserts, there were lakes in the desert. The lake water was clear and blue, and there were big shells growing in the lake water.

When the Tang army arrived at the desert, there was no water. They drank water in the lake. If there was no food, they would pick shells in the lake. But the water was also very deep. Some people in the Tang army could not swim, so they could only watch others pick shells to eat, and followed them anxiously."

Zhang Xiaobao talked about the things in the desert to the little guys, trying to remove the bloody places and specifically describe the scenery there.

"Will people who know how to swim just take shells for those who don't know how to swim?" Xiao Bei said his thoughts when he heard this.

"Xiao Bei is so smart. Just like Xiao Bei said, those who know how to swim help and don't know how to swim. In the end, everyone was full. When they were eating, they found that there were beautiful pearls in the shells. They didn't hide them secretly, but gave them to you, Sister Juanjuan, and Sister Juanjuan put them away."

"Put it away and get it back for us. I know. When I go to the desert to swim, I will also find pearls for them." Xiao Bei reacted very quickly and immediately knew who the pearls belonged to. He also did a swimming move when he spoke.

The other little guys also clamored to swim in the desert, and they would do it, and they would play in the water when it was hot and they had learned to swim for a long time. The water quality was pretty good, and the waves caused by artificiality could not be flooded.

"Yes, Xiao Bei is right. In the future, when swimming in the desert, it is not the desert, but the lake in the desert, remember to pick shells. This shell, over time, someone will drill out of it and see who can find someone."

Zhang Xiaobao is exhausted when telling stories. Telling stories to the little kid requires adjusting his mentality to the level of the little kid, so that he can look at the world with the eyes of a little kid, otherwise the little kid will not understand.

Xiao Bei lit his head vigorously and asked urged, "What about later?"

"Later, there were big fishes coming out of the lake. You can see the big fish. The big fish in the water is amazing. Even if I go in, I can't deal with such a big fish. I can only escape. If I run slowly, I will be eaten by the big fish."

Zhang Xiaobao randomly drew a length, and a group of little guys were nodding. They did see the dried fish they got back. The largest one, more than five feet long, was scary.

"What should I do later?" Xiaozhu asked worriedly.

"Later, what are we? We were the undefeated Tang army. One person could not beat him, but two people could not beat him, but only ten people. In the end, we rushed up to more than two hundred people. When the big fish saw that it was not good, they wanted to run away. Guess, did it run away?"

Zhang Xiaobao said with a mighty look.

"No." The little kid shook his head together.

"Yes, we didn't run away. More than 200 of us surrounded it. Someone said to the big fish, "You did this wrong. We just wanted to eat some shells. If you rushed out and hurt us, we ate you. So everyone rushed up and beat the big fish that was not convinced, but they didn't want to eat meat, so they left it for you."

When Zhang Xiaobao tells the story, he waves his fists and kicks his legs, so that the plot in the story is more vivid.

In fact, there was no use of two hundred people at all. Four people from the Miao Protective Team went down and the army pierced, and the fish floated up without long.

The little guys didn't know how powerful the people in their No. 0 Miao Protective Team were. They really thought that their brother and sister had dispatched 200 people for a fish.

Xiao Bei pursed his lips and said for a while: "The big fish is so bad. It deserves to be eaten. I ate it. Then what happened? How did you hide?"

"Later, wasn't the big fish killed? We found that the lake was so big that people who couldn't swim learned to swim and swim in the water to avoid the Tubo scouts. As for me, in order to see where the Tubo people were, I let the water clouds fly to the sky, fly in the sky, and let you fly once when you have the chance.

I flew to the blue sky and was with Baiyun. Baiyun turned into a lamb and wanted to play with me, and then turned into a bun for me to eat. I wanted to bring some back to you at that time, but it was just a food, and I couldn't take it, so I..."

"Young master, little lady, a man from Tubo came. He said he agreed to exchange livestock for food and wanted us to discuss the price with them."

A person came over outside the yard to report to Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan.

Wang Juan was watching Zhang Xiaobao make up stories. When he heard the Tubo people coming, he said to the visitor: "Tell the Tubo people and ask them to wait. Xiaobao and I will talk to them. Now I am busy telling stories to my younger brothers and sisters. They are too ignorant of the importance. Xiaobao, continue to say, "What's wrong with the buns that have not been brought back?"

Xiao Bei and the others also think that Tubo people don’t know what matters, and they don’t know what stories are important.

Zhang Xiaobao also thought so. Telling stories to his younger brothers and sisters is a big deal. People from Tubo asked them to wait, so they could not delay the matter. Then he continued, "Then I asked Baiyun, how could my younger brothers and sisters eat it too? Baiyun told me a way to make marshmallows and make it for you later."

The little guys couldn't help but stick out their tongues and ******'s lips. After waiting for a while, they followed their brother and sister to make cotton candy.

It is very simple to find a craftsman to assemble the equipment, which is to heat and rotate, then put sugar in the holed box that can generate centrifugal force, and take a chopstick next to it. In a while, a big marshmallow will come out.
