"Protect the Young Supervisor! Protect the owner!" In an instant, a sound of crying sounded around the carriage. The generals and servants quickly formed a swallowtail formation according to their usual practice, and protected the carriage Zhang Qian was riding firmly behind him. Guo Nu, Ren Cong, Wang Maobo and others also pulled out their swords and swords, waiting for the battle.

"Don't misunderstand! Don't misunderstand, we specially sent cattle to the farm in front of us!" The group of Hu people riding on horseback was extremely fast, and in a blink of an eye, they reached within 80 steps. Before the servants of the Zhang family opened the bow and shot the arrow, they raised their hands high, "I am Tubo Onion (Business Officer) Lala Wanwang. I made an agreement with the owner of the farm in front of us to exchange for his things last year. This year, I specially drove the yaks over! Guo Shucheng, is it you?! Is Zhang Shaojian here? I'm sending him yaks!"

The last two sentences were specifically said to Guo Nu. Obviously, this Tubo business official Lala Wanwang not only had a very good look, but also had a good news.

"Lalawan!" Guo Nu finally saw clearly. The Hu man who led the team was a familiar face. He quickly put away his sword and ordered loudly. "Don't shoot arrows, let him come."

All the servants relaxed their minds and looked carefully. Only after they found that what was rolling along the harvested wheat fields in the distance was not dark clouds, but a large group of strange-looking animals. There were eight or nine hundred, looking like cows, but screaming like pigs, and their bodies were covered with dirty hair!

The Tubo Onion Binlala Wanwang also ordered the Tubo warriors beside him to stop their mounts. He jumped off his horse, walked quickly to Guo Nu, and smiled and opened his arms. "Shi Cheng Guo, long time no see, are you safe?!"

A strange smell of sheep smell mixed with sweat came to the face, which made Wang Maobo and others hold their breath and turn their heads. However, Guo Nu was not willing to be outdone, jumped off the horse, hugged Nalala Wanwang like a good brother, and slapped each other hard on the back with his hands.

After taking pictures three times in a row and holding them three times, the two finally finished the ceremony. Then, they dragged their hands to each other and came to Zhang Qian's carriage.

"Get down Tubo Onion Ben Lala Wanwang, pay homage to the Tang Dynasty Secretary Zhang Shaojian!" Without anyone's advice, Lala Wanwang changed into another style, let go of Guo Nu, crossed his hands and bowed deeply to the car window.

"Lala Wanwang Business Officer is polite!" Since the other party has shown his official identity, Zhang Qian was not inconvenient to ask for help. He pushed the door and got out of the car with one hand. "How is the business officer doing this year? I've been coming from Tubo with so many yaks, thank you on the road!"

"Very good, very good, not hard work!" Lala Wanwang quickly straightened his waist with Zhang Qian's support action, smiling, "It's just that the road is too hot, and the yaks are not suitable for the local conditions, and a small amount of death has died. However, at least nine hundred and ninety-nine are left. I also asked the junior prison to send a slave to count and accept it."

When Zhang Qian heard the number of 999, he knew that Lala Wanwang actually grazed all the way to Chang'an, far more than these. However, he still pretended to be shocked and exclaimed in a low voice, "Will Zhang take ten years to finish it? It's so hard for the business officer."

"Not too much, not too much. Zhang Shaojian can slaughter it to make braised meat, jerky, sausages and meat noodles." Lala Wanwang smiled and waved his hand proudly, "You can also transfer the yaks to relatives and friends, so that everyone can taste fresh together. But you can't raise them. If you don't accept the soil and water, you have to kill them as soon as possible, otherwise you will become thinner and thinner the more you raise them!"

Speaking of several ways to eat beef, Zhang Qian was not sleepy. He smiled and nodded, and responded in a low voice, "So, Zhang thanks Lala Wanwang business officer. According to the agreement, two boxes of yak oil are right? Lala Wanwang is a real person, so Zhang will not send anyone to count it. When you follow my junior brother to my house, I will ask the butler to exchange you for two thousand boxes of yak oil!"

"No, no!" Lala Wanwang heard it and immediately put his hands into a windmill. "This batch of yaks was given for free, for free! Congratulations to Zhang Shaojian on his successive promotion and also granted the title of Viscount. As for the Wanjin Oil, the special envoy of Xixunre said that when I returned to Tubo, I would use gold and copper coins to buy them on the market!"

"Hmm?" Zhang Qian frowned and waved his hand with a smile, "For free? Zhang doesn't dare to accept such a heavy gift! Lala Wanwang business officer, it's better to drive the yak elsewhere! If someone impeached Zhang to take bribes, Zhang would have a hundred mouths, and he couldn't explain it clearly."

"Not heavy, no heavy, on our side, those with fur and skin are not worth it!" Lala Wanwang was anxious and continued to wave his hand with a red face. "I should have given you some more precious gifts to Shaoguan, but my special envoy said that Shaoguan is the richest person in the Tang Dynasty. If you give you yaks, you can still eat meat. If you give you other things, you will definitely be disdainful!"

"Then I can't take your yak for nothing. Moreover, the panacea oil sold on the market in Chang'an is all green and low-end. The ones used to worship Buddha are golden versions and high-end products, and the formula is completely different. If you don't change it with me, you may be a little trouble when you go back." Zhang Qian added with a smile while speculating on the other party's intentions in his heart.

When he signed a contract with Lala Wanwang for two boxes of yak oil last year, his asking price was indeed a bit ruthless. However, in order to distinguish between the "special" yak oil used by the Buddha and the ordinary version of yak oil that people used to relieve itching and refresh the spirit, he specially made the latter into the same emerald green as Fengliu. In this way, even if someone found that the price of yak oil on the market was far lower than that of the special version of yak oil, he could not accuse him of being unscrupulous. Moreover, it was impossible to convert the ingredient ordinary version into a golden special version through dyeing or purification methods.

This was originally a common commercial routine for another time and space mobile phone merchant. After getting the Tang Dynasty and Tubo in the eighth century, they were not ahead of the slightest. When Nalala Wanwang heard this, her face suddenly started to feel bitter. She was stunned for a while before moaning, saying, "It's really different? Then why do you call it the same name? It smells the same?"

"Of course it's different? The green one was originally called Wanliu. People spread rumors and became Wanliu." Zhang Qian has been depressed recently, but at this moment, he was amused by Lala Wanwang and shook his head and laughed. "As for the taste, ordinary people who have never seen the world can only see with their eyes and smell it with their noses. But with real nobles, they can feel the difference between the two in their souls."

This belongs to the category of "pretending thirteen studies", and its complexity is no less than that of famous wine tasting in another time and space, or a master of the great. Immediately, Lala Wanwang realized that he felt a little ashamed. After hesitating, he whispered: "Then, that money oil is too expensive. Yaks cannot go to the fields to work. I sell them as pigs. On the Chang'an market, I can also sell them for 500 or 600 cents. A box of green money oil is only more than a dozen cents on the market."

Panjin oil and Fengyu Jing are both by-products of Liushen Workshop when producing flower dew. Of course, Zhang Qian knew how much this thing is worth on the market now? Therefore, he immediately smiled and shook his head again, "It can be seen from the box. And the panjin oil I sell to you in one box is more than the three green ones on the market. If you are afraid of losing, I can't accept your gifts. This batch of yaks will cash in two thousand boxes of panjin oil for you. When you go back, you will buy the green ones on the market. I won't interfere with it. When you bring both panjin oil back to Tubo, the monks and nobles over there will naturally tell you which one they prefer."

"Really?" Lala Wanwang could not believe his ears, and his eyes immediately glared.

The contract signed with Liushen Commercial Bank last time, he believed that he had suffered a great loss. In addition, since Zhang Qian has now entered the ranks of senior officials, it is not appropriate to offend him. Therefore, he would rather give Zhang Qian 999 yaks to make the contract between the two parties invalid.

After Zhang Qian accepted the yak, he gave him two thousand boxes of 10,000 gold oil according to the original contract, and did not stop him from selling the remaining yaks and buying green and low-priced 10,000 essential oil by himself. Inside and out, it was equivalent to making him a lot of money. How could he be overjoyed?!

"Really! You will be with my junior brother in a while, and he will come to deliver it!" Zhang Qian nodded without hesitation, then pulled Guo Nu over and faced Lala Wanwang, as if he didn't know how to do business at all.

In fact, he firmly believed that as long as Lala Wanwang brings two different colors of panacea oil back to Tubo, the extravagant Tubo nobles and monks would definitely not choose a green and low-priced version to save money. This "noble" consumption psychology has long been fully verified in another time and space, and no one can overturn it at all.

"Negotiable, Zhang Shaojian, you are a real nobleman!" Finally, he was sure that he had taken a huge advantage in vain. Lala Wanwang was so moved that he opened his arms and gave Zhang Qian a big hug.

"No, no, we are doing business. I have something to do, so I won't accompany you. For the rest, please contact my junior brother!" Zhang Qian jumped out half a foot away, bowing back with fear.

Immediately, he ordered his servant Xitao to walk into the herd, picked two of the fattest and healthiest yaks, and quickly took them back to his yard.

The Tang Dynasty did not allow slaughtering oxen, so even a wealthy family like Ren and Guo rarely had beef. The family members and servants below were not qualified to drink beef soup. Therefore, they found that there was yak meat that was not afraid of the government's accountability. Everyone was very happy and did not need Zhang Qian's order to help him arrange everything quickly.

When the first yak turned into beef and beef bones, everyone discovered a huge trouble. It was too hot and the yak produced too much meat. A cow could at least two fat pigs. If you couldn't finish it that day, the remaining beef and bones would probably smell the next day. The weather in Chang'an is not suitable for yaks to survive. If you lock the rest of the yaks in the farm like ordinary animals, half of them would probably die within a month.

"First kill ten heads and make sauce and dried meat. Then send two yaks to Uncle Zhang Shi, Sun Yuyi and Senior He and the others. The rest will be handed over to the second and third junior brothers' shops for consignment." Zhang Qiancai didn't believe that in the huge Chang'an City, even a thousand yaks could not be consumed, so he waved his orders decisively.

Guo Nu, who had just sent away Lala Wanwang and Ren Cong, who was dazed at Niu Gu, immediately became energetic when he heard this. He agreed and went to assign tasks to the servants. Soon, he divided up more than 900 yaks.

After the village, I could no longer hear the croaking of a pig like a cow. The first batch of meat was marinated. Zhang Qian personally came to the stage and directed the chefs and servants who knew how to cook. Soon, a series of beef-related delicacies such as grilled stew, stewed beef, stir-fried beef, fried beef tongue, and other beef-related delicacies on the dining table.

The housekeeper Ren Quan took the chrysanthemum white that had been on sale for seven or eight months, and directed the servants to fill the guests with diligently. Guo Nu, Wang Maobo and others first toast Zhang Qian together, and then collectively ate a cup of Zhang Qian's resentment. Then, everyone couldn't wait to feast!

Before he could swallow the first meat, a burst of rapid footsteps suddenly came from the yard. However, after receiving the yak, Zhang Ruoxu didn't know what to do, so he pulled Bi Gou, who was about to go to Yizhou to take office in a few days, and found him excitedly.

Among the two old men, one had a family relationship with Zhang Qian, and the other had the kindness of recommending Zhang Qian, and of course they could not be considered outsiders. The tradition of the Tang Dynasty was to eat separately. So Zhang Qian immediately ordered the servants to put on two short tables, invite the two elders to the table, and raise their glasses to each other.

When Zhang Ruoxu was young, he liked food, wine and beauties, and he didn't change much when he was old. He used the meat to activate his chopsticks and raised his glasses, and he had a lot of fun eating. However, Bi Gu had experienced two exiles within a year and was a little discouraged by the court. Therefore, he no longer cared about his image, grabbed the meat with big hands, drank big mouthfuls, and was unrestrained.

Just as the drink was dazzled, the housekeeper Ren Quan suddenly hurried in to report. General Niu Shizhao, the Zuo Xiaogu, came to visit him. Immediately, Zhang Qian was slightly stunned, put down his wine glass, and asked in a low voice: "General Niu? He is here to find me? You heard it right? He brought a few people and said that there was something wrong?"

"Official, this is his famous post." The housekeeper Ren Quan received more big names and had already gained some experience. He bowed down and gently displayed a famous post in front of Zhang Qian. "I only brought four guards and did not fight any ceremonial wars. I said that I didn't understand one thing and wanted to ask the Official, you should ask him in person."

"Please ask?" Zhang Qian felt more confused when he heard this, frowned and pondered in a low voice.

He had only met with General Niu Shizhao, Zuo Xiaogu, for a few times, and most of them were in court. In private, he had no contact. Today, this man didn't even say hello in advance, and suddenly broke into the village outside the city to ask for advice. It was too abrupt.

"I'm just asking him to come in and have a drink together. He is a descendant of the bull Jinda of Langyan County. His whole family is pure military generals and has no fun. He has not been a general of Zuo Xiaowei for a long time. He should have been in Anxi last summer!" Bi Gou sat close to Zhang Qian, listened to the conversation between the master and servants in a real way. He thought about it and gave Zhang Qian a smile. "If he comes to cause trouble for you, I'm here, and I just happened to help you resolve the misunderstanding!"

"Thank you senior!" Zhang Qianwen immediately became scheming in his heart. He stood up and said with a smile: "Then I will go and welcome General Niu, the second and third brothers, you two will help me entertain seniors and friends!"

"Yes!" Guo Nu and Ren Cong nodded, then held up the wine cup and continued to persuade everyone to drink. Zhang Qian took advantage of his three-point drunkenness and walked to the door of his yard with confidence.

I thought it would be better to be a coincidence than to get there early. Since Niu Shizhao has arrived, we will join in a game together, which is also very lively. Unexpectedly, when we met and just finished the greetings, we heard the other party ask in a deep voice: "Shaojian Zhang, I heard that you are a child of the Mo family. Can you take this seriously?"

"It can't be considered fake!" Zhang Qian came to the Tang Dynasty and didn't know how many times he asked similar questions. He had already had a very safe answer in his heart. Therefore, while giving Niu Shizhuo to his family, he nodded with a smile, "But it is very different from the Mo family that people call. He was born under Qin Mo, and Qin Mo was just a branch of the Mo family. Since Qin was replaced by the Han Dynasty, he has been living in the deep mountains and not caring about worldly affairs. He has no contact with other Mo family descendants!"

After a pause, while Niu Shizhuo was digesting his explanation, he continued: "Senior, please ask me, I just slaughtered a few yaks at home to entertain my friends. Bi Biejia, who was about to go to Yizhou to take up his post, is here too. If you don't think it's simple here, let's have a few drinks together."

"Bi Longze is here too? This guy, I'm still worried about him, but he ran to your house to drink and eat meat!" Hearing the three words "Bi Bi Jia", Niu Shizhao's face began to melt instantly. He frowned and smiled and scolded!

"I have been in office now, so I have all relied on Bi Biejia's recommendation!" Zhang Qian immediately realized that Niu Shizhao and Bi Gou had a good relationship. He quickly added with a smile.

"I know, so I came here to find you today. Unexpectedly, Long Ze is here too!" Niu Shizuo's smile quickly closed again. He shook his head and added in a deep voice: "Shaojian Zhang, since Long Ze is willing to come to your house to drink and eat meat, it means that he has always recognized your character. Today, I will be so proud and say something."

"General Niu just said it straight." Zhang Qian was stunned, slowed down, turned around and bowed, "Or, if General Niu wanted to, he could also go to the senior Bi to have a drink of practice wine first. When the banquet ends, we will go to the study to discuss in detail."

"Since Bi Longze is here, I must drink this glass of wine. Otherwise, I will see him again next time, and I don't know what year or time it will be!" Niu Shizhao thought for a while, nodded gently, and then shook his head quickly, "But, I'll explain it to you before drinking. Otherwise, I and you two will not feel at ease!"

"Please tell me!" Zhang Qian heard it and immediately knew that the problem would not be too simple, so he bowed politely again.

"You Qin Mo, are you famous for your erectile dysfunction skills?" Niu Shizhao also stopped and asked with a serious face. "You think it clear first, don't rush to answer me!"

"No!" Zhang Qian frowned slightly and answered decisively.

"Do you understand the art of war?" Niu Shizhao's face became more and more serious, and he continued to ask in a deep voice.

"I don't understand!" Zhang Qian answered without hesitation.

"You have led the army to fight with others before? Or your martial arts are amazing, and you can come and go freely among thousands of troops like the legendary Cao Mo?!" The question of Niu Shizhao became more and more outrageous, and Zhang Qian felt that things were stranger.

"No! I'm doing a good job of punching one or two ordinary people. When I encounter more than four people, I guess I can't even find the chance to escape!" Zhang Qian answered in a deep voice, his brows frowned.

Just as I was about to ask why the other party came. At the door of the main hall, Bi Gou's angry voice had already sounded: "Niu Shouzhong, if you ask you to come in and have a drink together, why can you do for the younger generation standing in the yard?" However, the old man saw him going out to greet the guests and was reluctant to return, so he came to support him.

"Long Weng, I am not coming for him!" Niu Shizhao immediately changed his face and bowed to Bi Gou, "You are here too, so I will think about it. What's going on? I got the news today. The emperor ordered my general and led 10,000 elite troops of the Zuo Xiaogu to mediate the conflict between the chief of the Tukqi Shi Shi and the leader of the Tukqi Shi tribe Ashina. The Secretariat and the Ministry of War are said to have given me a marching chief who knows everything. His surname was Zhang and his name was Qian, and his name was Yong Zhao!"

"What, how is this possible?"

"Who recommended the use of Zhao? His heart is punishable!"

Zhang Qian and Bi Gou were both shocked. The words they said were completely different.

Zhang Qian had heard that last month, at about the same time when he was intercepted, the new chief of Tuqi Shi, Soge, betrayed the Tang Dynasty and captured Saiye City with the support of the Turks. Zhou Yiti, the general of the Right Guard of the Tang Dynasty who was stationed in Saiye City, was outnumbered, and together with the general of Tuqi Shi, who was loyal to the Tang Dynasty, retreated to Boxian Town.

In this case, the Tang Dynasty should immediately mobilize all the forces from the Western Regions to kill Soge and shock the surrounding sluts. How could it be possible to mediate? Although the cause of the conflict was that the chief of the Thunder Cavalry, Soge was dissatisfied with each other and the leader of the tribe Ashina, but what Suge broke through the city of the Tang Dynasty and killed the people of the Tang Dynasty, the monarch and minister of the Tang Dynasty, how big the heart and skin of the Tang Dynasty should be to pretend that this matter has nothing to do with him?!

However, Bi Gou was not surprised by the confusion of the imperial court for a long time, and just asked who was ulterior motives to harm Zhang Qian. He, a civil servant who created countless powerful weapons in the military weapon prison and made great contributions many times, sent him to a battlefield thousands of miles away from Chang'an.

"The Right Guard General Zhou Yiti asked the court to mobilize elite troops to quell the rebellion, support Ashina Xian as the Khan of the Ten surnames, and replace Sage. Guo Yuanzhen, the chief general of Jinshan Dao, thought that Sage and Ashina Xian were birds of a feather, and there was no difference. As long as Sage returned to the Shattered Leaf, there was no need for the Tang Dynasty to go on a trial. The two sides argued endlessly, and the emperor general handed over the memorial to several prime ministers for discussion. As a result, the decision made by the prime ministers was to first send me 10,000 elite troops to intimidate and mediate, and give the chief Shi Shi of the thunder cavalry a chance to repent. If not, send troops to conquer!" He quickly glanced at Zhang Qian, and Niu Shizhao answered his inquiry first.

Then, he turned his gaze to Bi Gou and bowed solemnly: "Longze, after I learned the news today, I came to find Zhang Shaojian, which is not in line with the rules. Don't let me make mistakes and make mistakes! With your connections, it's easy to find out who recommended him!"

After saying that, he turned his gaze back to Zhang Qian and added with a cold face: "If you ask someone yourself and are in a hurry to go to the battlefield to make achievements, I will not stop you. It's just that there is no sight on the battlefield, and even the marching chief may not be able to hide behind others forever. I am even more unlikely, because I am old with Long Weng, so I will be distracted to protect your comprehensiveness!"

"Zhang didn't ask someone!" Zhang Qian was surprised and angry in his heart, and denied with a slight face. "Zhang has been busy working on the "Primary School Dictionary" in the secretary's supervisor recently..."

"If you haven't asked someone to recommend you, think about why this kind of good thing suddenly falls on you. If you can't figure it out, I advise you to find a way to get out quickly when the imperial edict has not been released!" Niu Shizhao did not listen to his explanation and continued to add in a deep voice, "I have no shortage of people who have never been to the battlefield to be the chief of the march. And you originally had a long-term future, so there is no need to take such risks!"

"Please give the emperor a letter and ask for leave!" Bi Gongxiang didn't think about it and decided to make decisions for Zhang Qian. "You are in the military weapon surveillance and will help the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty ten times more than being this bullshit marching chief! No matter who it is, you will definitely not be kind to recommend you at this critical moment!"

"The imperial edict is here, please inform Zhang Shaojian and let him come out to welcome the imperial envoy and go inside to announce the edict!" As soon as the words finished, a strange voice was already heard outside the gate. It was not too sharp, but it stimulated everyone's scalp!
Chapter completed!
