Chapter 378: There is a bun shop in Jiang

In Jiangdu, Pei Ju, the Huangmen Minister, had a house that was not very eye-catching. It was quite far from the emperor's palace and it took about half an hour to arrive at the palace by carriage. The reason why Pei Ju chose the house here was not because he wanted the house here to be cheap, but because he wanted the emperor to know that the house he bought was cheap.

The emperor always believed that Pei Ju was just a little greedy, and he was not greedy for everything. Even the house was chosen in such a remote place. Who could say that Pei Ju was not a frugal person? Although the emperor was extravagant, he did not like his ministers and was extravagant. If he could not see this clearly, how could Pei Ju achieve his current position? The government was controlled by him and Yu Shiji. Whatever they said was, wasn't it because they were the best at judging the holy will?

I don’t know when, in the alley where Pei Ju’s back door was located, a snack bar opened on the street that was more than 20 meters away from the back door of Pei’s mansion, which only sells soup dumplings. The business has been good since its opening. The reason is simple, because the soup dumplings sold in this store are affordable and delicious. Even Pei Ju likes to eat them, so the people nearby want to try them. How can simple buns be favored by this big man in the court?

The business is good, so the owner of this small shop is naturally happy.

In his opinion, Pei Ju is his God of Wealth. It is because Master Pei Ju often visits his shop that his business is getting better and better. In just three days, the boss of this shop named Wang learned about Pei Ju's habits. Every morning before dawn, he gets up and asks the chef to carefully make a few baskets of buns and steam them, then prepare a few light and exquisite side dishes, and cook a pot of porridge, and then he can wait in person at the door of the shop.

Pei Ju has the habit of getting up early. He usually gets up when it’s dark, practices five animals in the small backyard of his house for a while, and then takes a shower and changes clothes to prepare to go to the palace to handle state affairs for the emperor. Since the small shop that makes soup dumplings opened, Pei Ju has fallen in love with this sweet and delicious snack. The carriage always comes out from the main entrance and goes around in the palace. After breakfast at that small shop, he goes to the palace.

If you eat two meats every day, you can buy one of the soup dumplings. This is so frugal that even the people nearby praise Pei Ju.

As the sky was just a bit brighter, Boss Wang got up and went to the door to wait. Today he woke up half an hour earlier than before, so he looked a little sluggish. He was not very likable, and his face was always as if he had just recovered from a serious illness, but this person was slightly eloquent, and his flattery was absolutely pleasing to the eye.

Sitting on the steps at the door, Boss Wang remembered the guests who came last night and frowned slightly, thinking that his life in Jiangdu seemed to be getting harder and harder.

Just as he was thinking of something a little headache, Pei Ju's carriage turned from the street. Boss Wang quickly got up, and a bright chrysanthemum-like smile appeared on his face to greet him. He greeted the coachman, and he bent and waited on the side of the carriage. A servant lifted the curtain of the carriage, then took out a small stool from the carriage and placed it on the ground. The powerful Lord Pei Ju came out and stepped on the small stool and got off the carriage.

"Mr. Pei, you look really good today."

Boss Wang said with a smile.

"good?"

Pei Ju glared at him and asked, "Your eye looks good when I see me?"

Pei Ju's tone was a little cold, and Boss Wang immediately accompanied him with a smile and said, "Sir, are you worried? I promise that you will get better immediately after eating a basket of soup dumplings today. The buns are different today. I specially asked the chef to carefully choose shrimps to remove shells and peel meat, and then add fresh mushrooms and tender beef. The filling is fresh and fresh. Last night, I got up and cooked a pot of lotus seed porridge. The lotus seeds were picked from the Hebei Pond in the city yesterday. It is the first tent this year, and I guarantee that you can eat them smoothly."

Pei Ju glanced at him and sighed, "Did you guy, do you know that I'm going to get angry today, so he is so prepared?"

Boss Wang smiled and said, "I open a store here, how can I do without your care?"

"Let's talk about it when you go in."

Pei Ju waved his hand and walked into the shop. After sitting in the private room, Boss Wang hurriedly asked someone to bring the prepared breakfast. He personally served Pei Ju a bowl of fragrant lotus seed porridge and added a little sugar.

Pei Ju took a sip and nodded slightly.

"Wang Qinian, what do you master of Yanyun Village want to do!"

He put down the porcelain spoon and raised his head and asked coldly.

...

...

Pei Ju said coldly: "I kindly recommend you in front of Your Majesty. Do you think it's easy to risk being blamed by Your Majesty? Your Majesty has long known that Wen Yidao was dead at the hands of your Yanyun Village, but I don't know how dangerous it is! Unexpectedly, Your Majesty is grateful and does not care about Wen Yidao's affairs, and directly promotes your boss to the fourth-rank Wu Ben Lang General. This is the position where poor families have rested for several lifetimes. And as long as you can destroy the rebels in Wagang Village and Gaojibo, Your Majesty also promised him the high position of the chief general of Qi County! But your boss is good, and he actually humiliated and beat the imperial envoy. If I hadn't suppressed this matter, let Your Majesty know about this matter. Could it be that the court would not be able to dispatch the army to destroy your village now?!"

The owner of this bun shop is Wang Qinian. He has always been in charge of attracting and bribing Pei Ju and Yu Shiji in the past six months. The secrets and trends in the court were sent out from this small bun shop and sent back to Yanyun Village. His shop is the stronghold of Yanyun Village in Jiangdu. Because it wants to contact officials like Pei Ju Yu Shiji, it has to be put on the surface. Naturally, there are many people in the dark place in Yanyun Village in Jiangdu. After all, Yang Guang plans to live here for a long time, and a lot of information is very important.

Seeing Pei Ju getting angry, Wang Qinian quickly said with a smile: "Sir, please calm down and don't hurt your body... In fact, you also know that our boss was originally from a military army and thought about the court. When we were in Liaodong, we had made many military achievements, so you know that our boss would not have been the position of General Wu Ben."

He paused for a moment and said, "Besides, I don't know that Wagang Village has occupied Dong County for several years. Even the people of Dong County are standing on their side, with no less than 100,000 troops, and they also have good territory and people. It's difficult to conquer and suppress the enemy... In addition, Dou Jiande, Hebei, has a stronger military force than Zhai Rang of Wagang Village, no less than 150,000! Moreover, Dou Jiande now proclaims himself king, occupying several states, with sufficient soldiers and sufficient food. How can we defeat the troops alone with our Yanyun Village? His Majesty's seemingly extraordinary reward is actually just a short official position, without food and supplies, and this battle is not easy to fight."

"well……"

Pei Ju sighed and said, "I have heard a little about what happened in Liaodong. At that time, the entire army was defeated. Only Yan Yun came back with his men and horses, and made many extraordinary achievements. Yuwen Shu was narrow-minded and naturally could not tolerate him. Your Majesty was also very sorry for this matter, but now the Yuwen family has lost its power, and you bosses don't have to worry about returning to the court."

He thought for a while and said, "But even so, he shouldn't beat the imperial envoy! If Your Majesty knows, can you still have the fruits of your Yanyun Village?"

"Sir, I don't know anything!"

Wang Qinian said indignantly: "The first thing that the eunuch who announced the eunuch was to bribe him after arriving in Yanyun Village was to give him twenty taels of gold but he was unwilling to do so. He said that in front of His Majesty, the people in our Yanyun Village were unruly. You also know that our masters have heroes and are very irritable. How could he withstand the bird energy of the eunuch? If we hadn't stopped us, we would have been able to beat the eunuch to death."

"never mind"

Pei Ju waved his hand and said, "I won't mention this matter. I have seen the people sent by your boss last night. You boss is too arrogant. You need 30,000 sets of mansion soldiers, armor and weapons, and 200 Yellow Dragon Clippers. This is simply a joke!"

"Can you discuss it..."

Wang Qinian smiled and handed over a hot soup dumpling and said, "Sir, you have a few good words in front of His Majesty. As long as you can get more Yanyun Village, we will naturally not forget your help. Your prestige in the court is beyond your reach, and it is not a matter of one word. Besides..."

Wang Qinian said seriously: "If this matter is done, Yanyun Village will be your help outside the court. With tens of thousands of soldiers in Yanyun Village, you said, what else do you need to worry about?"

Pei Ju's heart moved and she couldn't help but smile.

...

...

Yang Guang leaned on the bed and looked at Pei Ju and Yu Shiji who were standing respectfully on the side. His face looked a little ugly, and there was still anger between his eyebrows. But he endured it and did not get angry. Even so, his cold eyes still made Pei Ju and Yu Shiji a little scared.

"A rebel, I made an exception to give him a senior official of the fourth rank. I actually want to ask me for benefits?"

Yang Guang stared at Pei Ju's eyes and asked, "Thirty thousand sets of military equipment, armor and equipment, how much inventory is in the Ministry of War warehouse, do you know? If you don't know, go and ask Yang Yichen! You still need two hundred Yellow Dragon Clippers, and I gave him a ship. Will he lead troops straight to Jiangdu? Pei Ju, are you confused?"

Pei Ju hurriedly lowered his head and said, "I dare not respond to Yan Yun's affairs, nor dare to lose the prestige of the court. The man sent by Yan Yun was beaten out by me yesterday. Not to mention 30,000 sets of mansion soldiers, armor and weapons, not to mention 200 Yellow Dragon Clippers, even if it is a grain of rice, a piece of cloth head, and a pair of straw sandals, I dare not make a decision privately. The country belongs to Your Majesty, and everything in the world belongs to Your Majesty. Your Majesty said that only if you reward it will be rewarded... Yan Yun is bold and arbitrary. I feel that the matter of reunion will stop here, and the troops of the Eastern Capital and General Xue Shixiong, the left guard, went south to fight for the suppression."

Yu Shiji couldn't help but praise her in her heart. Pei Ju is really a good person. She plays hard to get, and this trick is really beautiful.

He immediately agreed, "All the king's land under the sky is the king's land, and all the king's ministers are the king's ministers. Yan Yun disrespects the imperial power and his crimes should be punished. I think that the general can also be transferred to Hu'er to lead the Donglai navy to go up the river, and take the waterway to attack Juyeze, and attack General Xue Shixiong from north to south. Yanyun's village will be destroyed."

Pei Ju said: "There are only 50,000 or 60,000 soldiers. Although there is danger of Juye Ze, it cannot stop His Majesty's mighty power. General Lai Hu'er, General Xue Shixiong, and the troops of the Eastern Capital will wipe out Yan Yun, just around the corner."

"Lai Hu'er trains troops in Donglai, and Xue Shixiong suppresses bandits in Zhuo County!"

Yang Guang glared at them and said, "If you don't understand military affairs, don't talk nonsense! The navy's waterways are long and it's the Yellow River flood season. If you are not careful, you will suffer a lot before you start fighting. Xue Shixiong has no ship, so how can you cross the Yellow River? You two can only talk on paper. How can you know how much it is to mobilize the army like this? As for the Dongdu garrison troops to attack Dongping County, don't you know that there is an East County in the middle?"

Pei Ju and Yu Shiji hurriedly bowed their heads and said, "I don't understand military affairs, Your Majesty forgive me."

Yang Guang waved his hand and said, "Forget it, go and tell the people sent by Yan Yun that the warships will give him 30% of the armor and weapons first, and after the Wagang Village is wiped out, then 30% of them, Dou Jiande is wiped out, and then the remaining 40% are given. This is my biggest concession. If it weren't for his contributions and grievances in Liaodong, how could I tolerate him?"
