Chapter 518 Alcoholic hangover

It depends on the essence of the problem. Li Hao is too lazy to care about who took action on this matter. In his opinion, as long as the Japanese are all dead, it is enough, and who takes action is actually not important.

As for the explanation, Li Hao felt that the Tang Dynasty did not need to explain it to anyone. However, Japan sent so many detailed works to the Tang Dynasty and stole such important things. Shouldn’t we give the Tang Dynasty an explanation?

Ba Zhuo was with Li Hao. Seeing that he seemed a little dazed, he asked with a smile: "What? Something happened?"

"Oh, no." Li Hao shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Do you still remember the group of Japanese people who came last time? These guys stole a batch of gunpowder and wanted to return to China, but they were blown up on the way for some reason. More than 100 people, and the bones of Wucun died. "

Cough cough cough...

Changsun Chong, who was taking the letter from Li Hao, almost fell off his face, and his eyes almost rolled into his temples.

You really dare to say it!

Such a lie doesn't sound like it's true.

But then again, the Japanese really killed themselves, right?

Why do I feel that although this guy is unreliable, he is so close to the truth?

Ba Zhuo didn't think so much, and responded casually: "It's so unlucky. Oh, Dejian, I don't mean to be disrespectful to the court, I just want to be on the matter."

"It's okay, I understand." Li Hao smiled: "To be honest, I actually think these Japanese people are not lucky. If you say you don't want to send Tang envoys well, you have to be a thief. Who can you blame for the end of today?"

"Haha..." Ba Zhuo let out a happy laugh, meaningless, just a little gloating.

Li Hao also beat him up and waved his hand casually, "Okay, okay, great days, let's not talk about those disappointing things. Brother Bazhuo, I think your war horses are very good, fat and strong, and they are all rare good horses."

"Of course." Speaking of war horses, Ba Zhuo proudly stroked his hand: "I spent a lot of money to find these horses from the grassland. I'll tell you, I spent this number."

"100,000 yuan?" Seeing Bazhuo's two hands stretching in front of him, Li Hao was a little surprised: "Brother Bazhuo has such a great courage. If you invest so much, aren't you afraid that you will lose all of them?"

Ba Zhuo rolled his eyes: "If you sell this, if you sell it for money, you will definitely lose all your wife and children."

"Haha, that's right." Li Hao smiled and joked, "But before saying this, your brother must at least have a wife and children first. You are the only one, and the whole family will not be hungry to say this."

"Not bad! I don't sell any of these horses anyway, so I keep them for myself to watch every day..." Ba Zhuo paused and squinted at Li Hao and said, "I'm so envious of you!"

Well, Li Hao has to admit that he is really envious.

Especially when the horses galloped past in front of him, the high-shouldered war horses almost fell out of their eyes when they saw Li Hao's eyes, and the guy Hegan Chengji was even lost in image, and even the saliva was flowing down.

Some experts analyzed that men in ancient times had to take on the responsibility of hunting. In order to catch more prey, they had to have a larger and broader space for activities.

So horses became their only partner, and gradually, this need was written into people's genes.

Of course, to put it bluntly, people's love for horses is actually mainly due to their own pursuit of speed and range of activities, just as modern people like cars.

But it’s one thing to like horses, but it’s another to be able to afford them.

It is true that the price of a horse in the Tang Dynasty is twenty-five stakes, but it is used to pull a cart. Whether it is physical strength or speed, you can ride it if you want to ride it, but if you can't walk ten or twenty miles, the horse will be useless.

For a truly good horse, the price must be at least seven or eight, or more than two hundred to ten thousand. The key problem is that you have to be rich.

It's like in the 21st century, it's a truth to buy a beautiful, thrust-boom, fast running, strong endurance, and strong off-road car.

Moreover, a good horse is like a good car, and it is cost-effective to maintain it.

A good horse needs to take a shower regularly (wash the car), a good horse needs to feed good forage (No. 98 oil), occasionally add some essence (gasoline additive), and hire a full-time groom (driver).

And to be honest, it’s so terrible to eat, especially when it’s time to work hard for the horse, hey.

Let me say this, we often say that car charges fuel like drinking oil, but if we compare horses to cars, it is not drinking oil. It is like stepping down the accelerator and whirlpools can be stepped into the fuel tank.

Anyway, in short, buying horses in ancient times and buying cars in modern times was the same, and most of them were affordable or unaffordable.

Therefore, Hegan Chengji was envious, but he was self-aware that he could not afford such a good horse, and his friendship with Bazhuo was not enough to make him open his mouth and ask for one. The only hope was that Bazhuo's good face could be given to everyone who came this time.

However, Ba Zhuo didn't seem to want to give Li Hao this face. He said that he was so greedy that he broke all the hopes of Heganjicheng.

After looking at the horse for a while, Li Hao and others began to turn around and walk back. The grassland in midsummer is beautiful, but there are a lot of mosquitoes, and if people stay in the same place for a long time, they are afraid that they may be sucked into adults and fucked.

After a long walk, the big tent that Bazhuo stood on the grassland soon returned. The group entered it and sat down and breathed a sigh of relief.

Li Hao lay on the ground with his back and hummed, "Bazhuo, if I enter the grassland before April next time, I will be a turtle."

"Haha..." Ba Zhuo smiled without any attention and signaled the waiter in the tent to get a few ice basins to relieve the heat and cool down the heat. He sat next to Li Hao and pulled him up and said, "I'll welcome you to the wind and cheer you up in the evening. My tribe members hope that you will be here for more than a day or two, so they can't let them see what you are like now."

"What does it mean?" Li Hao sat up and said suspiciously.

"Don't you understand?" Ba Zhuo sighed and said, "Now your reputation as a maid in Sanyuan County is no worse than that of me, the Turkic prince. Some people even learn to set up a tablet of immortality for you. So, don't let them down, especially your cooperative, don't."

"Prince Bazhuo, what do you mean is that the Turkic tribes are now living a good life?" Wen Zhen understood what Bazhuo said, his eyes lit up, and he asked.

"Yes, they are all very good. Many people have signed contracts with the cooperative. And just three months ago, they sold the first batch of wool. To be honest, they have a great harvest. The worst family also has a three- or five-month chunk of money. This was something they didn't dare to think about before, but now it's so easy."

Bazhuo's smile was a little bitter, and it took a long time to continue saying: "Light taxes and low labors are simple to say, but it is actually very difficult to do. Li Dejian, you and me are in a solid state. How much money have you invested from last year to now?"

"You won't want to know." Li Hao shook his head with grinning.

Speaking of this, he, a guy who can basically be regarded as the richest man in the Tang Dynasty, felt pain and spent money like flowing money. From last winter to now, he would not brag about spending one to twenty thousand yuan a day.

But as for income, I saw some money back in spring, more than 200,000 jin.

But for the part that was spent, there was not even one tenth.

Ba Zhuo knew that he must have spent a lot of money, and he curled his lips and said, "If you don't say it, don't say it. Anyway, I probably won't be less than two million yuan. This is just on the front line in the north. If you want to expand the scale, even if you have a gold mountain at home, you can spend money on you."

"Can we not mention this and talk about the next topic?" Li Hao was a little anxious.

Think about it, no one who spent three million yuan in half a year would have his eyes red.

Ba Zhuo smacked his lips and stopped teasing Li Hao. Then he said the previous topic: "Actually, what I said before is not a joke. I have been deeply touched in the past six months. Looking back at myself, it is so naive.

Back then, I thought that as long as I became a Khan, I could unify the grassland. As long as I collected less taxes and collected less troops, I could allow the people under my rule to live a good life.

But now I think about it, it’s stupid. The grassland is indeed vast, but the products are not rich, especially steel and various non-staple foods. What if the people don’t pay taxes? If you raise cattle, I will raise cattle, and if you raise sheep, I will raise sheep. After eating up all the grass in the area, let’s go to the next place together.

But there are only so many areas on the grassland with abundant water and grass. How can we not have a dispute when we get together? As long as we have a dispute, how can we not fight?

What's more, steel and non-staple food are also essential for life. Without these things, individuals cannot stand it by eating meat alone. The people are also human beings and they have to live. If they cannot survive, they will naturally feel resentful. In order to resolve these, they will inevitably continue to live by robbery, and then they will inevitably go to war with the Tang Dynasty again.

It’s a vicious cycle. The more you fight, the poorer you get, and the more you fight, the more chaotic you get. But it won’t work without fighting.

But now it’s different. Your cooperative is taking all these into consideration. It has different arrangements for each Turkic tribe. Whoever raises what and whoever has plans for the scope of activities in advance to avoid disputes.

The cooperative uniformly purchases resources such as wool, milk, and other resources, so that each department can have money in its hands to communicate with the people of the Central Plains, and easily buy things that were impossible to grab before.

To be honest, if someone says that the cooperative is not good now, I guess the people of all Turkic tribes can spontaneously jump out and kill those who say such words."

OK, Li Hao touched his nose, no matter whether it was true or false, after hearing Ba Zhuo's words, he felt much better. After spending three million yuan, he was also a little reward.

Everyone talked about other things. The sky was getting darker outside, and you could vaguely hear the noise of crowds in the distance. It must be that the so-called wedding banquet was being prepared outside.

Soon after, a guard came in and whispered a few words to Bazhuo.

After hearing this, Bazhuo smiled and stood up: "Dejian, everyone, the dinner is almost ready, let's go there."

After nearly half a year of running-in, everyone here knew very well, but no one was posing as he stood up and followed Bazhuo's body toward the position where the bonfire had already been lit outside.

In the grassland under the night, you can clearly see countless stars above your head. The evening breeze gently caresses, taking away the heat during the day. Sitting by the bonfire, there is a light smoke from mugwort ignited. The smell is not very choking, but mosquitoes are afraid of this smoke and dare not get close.

On the bonfire, the golden mutton was dripping with grease. It flowed down as the turntable turned, and it made a hissing sound. The aroma of the barbecue came with the wind, making a loud noise.

However, Li Hao had no intention of caring about this. As soon as he sat down, a group of generous Turkic men appeared in front of him. These people were all patriarchs from various tribes. They all smiled happily on their faces and brought small bowls of heads to toast.

Although Li Hao has a big head, he has to drink this wine. After all, no matter whether it is in the grassland or in the Central Plains, when others come to toast, they will look down on you. Even if your status is unattainable, you must give the face you should give, otherwise it will be a waste of time.

Since you have drunk it, you can't pretend to be fake. It's not okay to drink half of it and leave half of it.

So, before taking a bite of the mutton, Li Hao had already dried three or four bowls of wine, and his face turned red and his eyes turned green.

The bastards from Caotalai, these bastards, were actually steamed wine produced from the Central Plains, with a degree of at least fifty degrees. They were so fucked.

This was Li Hao's last bit of consciousness, and then his eyes went dark and he knew nothing.

The whole process was so fast that it was shocking. Bazhuo just got up and arranged for singing and dancing. Li Hao had already fallen to the ground, drunk so much that he was not awake.

What's this called?

Ba Zhuo looked at Li Hao who was snoring like thunder, and was so angry that he was murderous.

The men who came to toast were also stupid. It was true that they were hospitality. But before the banquet started, it was a bit unreasonable.

Not to mention, the person in front of him is their great benefactor.

Fortunately, Changsun Chong and others were quite wise and took Li Hao's banner, with Feng Xiaoxiaoxi and Yi Shuihan's passion, took the wine bowl that was not right in his hands, and raised it, and tilted his head down.

One, two, less than a moment, except for the accompanying guards, eight people who came to Hetao area to inspect were lying in a row on the ground.

...

The next morning, Li Hao sat up with his dizzy head and found that Ba Zhuo was sitting not far in front of him, looking like he was smiling.

Then, with a bang, another bowl of wine was placed in front of you.

"Come on Dejian, just drink this bowl of wine. This is called using wine to relieve wine, which works very well. In addition, I am really embarrassed about what happened last night, but don't worry, I have arranged someone to redecorate the venue. Let's do it again tonight."

Li Hao blinked his eyes and suddenly turned over: "Tiezhu, Rengui, where are you two dead? Pack your things and let's go back. Mom, I can't live the day when I roast the whole lamb every day and drink every day."
