Moreover, by taking this job privately without going through Li Linfu's channels, wouldn't the right prime minister of the Tang Dynasty be constrained by it? Would he watch his former henchmen escape from control?

After only hesitating for a few seconds, Zheng Shuqing immediately knelt down and begged, made a bowing salute, and wailed regardless of the image:

"Weichen really wants to contribute to the saint. But making money outside the court system is not Weichen's specialty.

It doesn't matter if Wei Chen is not the Minister of the Ministry of Works, but if he delays the saint's important affairs, he will be blamed for his death. Please ask the saint to hire someone else. There must be someone in the court who is more suitable than Wei Chen."

Seeing Zheng Shuqing's helpless look, Li Longji held back the nausea in his heart, helped him up with a smile, straightened his clothes and said:

"Loving you and being loyal to the country is an example for all officials. Since I don't want to love you, let's drop this matter.

Things in Hanjiacang are already running normally, and you don't need to worry about it anymore. I will send someone to deal with this matter. You don't have to run back to Luoyang anymore. You can just go to Chang'an City for business and go to the Ministry of Household Affairs every day to do your duty.

.”

Li Longji waved his hand calmly and said.

On the surface, this seems to be showing sympathy for Zheng Shuqing, but in fact, it is extremely ruthless.

The matter of "flying money" to transport grain was proposed by Zheng Shuqing. According to common sense, the follow-up processing of receiving political results should also be handled by Zheng Shuqing. As a result, Zheng Shuqing has planted the tree, and it is his turn to enjoy the cool under the tree.

At that time, Li Longji transferred him back to Chang'an with a transfer order.

It means that the previous things have been done in vain, and the transporter's errand has also been lost.

Now he has become the minister of the household department with "an official position but no position". He goes to work in the household department every day to read copywriting and spend his time. He doesn't know when he will be demoted.

This is the price for rejecting Li Longji!

If the saint accepts the conditions offered by his ministers, there will naturally be countless benefits; but if the minister refuses, he will definitely not be in a good position.

It can only be said that it is too naive to expect that nothing will happen. Li Longji's reprimand not only came, but also came on the spot, without waiting for Zheng Shuqing to walk out of the study room in the Qinzhengwu main building!

"Thank you saint for your grace."

Zheng Shuqing bowed deeply to Li Longji.

"Well, step back."

After Zheng Shuqing left, Li Longji sat on a high stool, squinting his eyes and thinking, not knowing what he was thinking.

…

Although Baitinghai does not have the reality of a sea, it has the shape of a sea.

The water is clear, the sand is white, the sky is blue and the clouds are white. Standing in the Baiting Fort in the middle of Baiting Sea, Fang Chongyong just feels relaxed and happy, as if he has come to the seaside.

If you can get a deck chair, a parasol, sunglasses, and a glass of freshly brewed wine, it will really be equivalent to a vacation in Hexi.

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! At this moment, as the deputy envoy of the Baiting Army, he stood on the narrow tower of Baiting Fort, looking at the endless water plants and white sand on the north bank.

I couldn't help but want to moan in pleasure.

Bai Dinh Hai Resort is truly worthy of its name. If nothing else, the dinner last night, which was mainly made from fresh river fish, made him feel like he was in a quiet small town near a lake and a river.

Rather than facing the Turks to the north and the strategic location of Tibet to the south, it may face boundless war at any time.

"I heard from Commander Xin that Baiting's army is short of horses, right?"

Fang Chongyong suddenly asked Xin Yunjing beside him.

This matter is obvious. Xin Yunjing smiled bitterly and said: "The Chishui Army has a strength of thirteen thousand horses, half of which need to be provided by the pastures on the Baitinghai side, and the other part is provided by Chiwu Town. Although the Baiting Army is

He looks after Bai Dinh Hai’s pasture, but he has no right to use the horses here.”

The Chishui Army's war horse establishment is 13,000, but it does not mean that it only needs so many horses. In addition to war horses, there are also horses used to transport supplies. The rivers in Hexi cannot transport water. Whether it is cavalry or infantry, strategic mobility depends on horses. Therefore,

The demand for horses in this area must not be underestimated.

"The Baiting Army keeps private horses in the hope of gaining something in the war, rather than serving as a garrison guarding the fortress, right?"

Fang Chongyong continued to ask, his tone calm.

Xin Yunjing nodded slightly and said:

"Generals die in a hundred battles, and soldiers return in ten years. We are all licking blood at the edge of the knife, and who wants to waste our time. If you don't plan for the present, you should also plan for the future.

But without horses, nothing can be done.

Hexi war horses are not expensive, they cost thirty guan each, and if you buy more, you can get a lower price. This time, Bai Ting's army suffered a big loss, their financial resources were cut off, and life will be difficult in the future."

Xin Yunjing let out a long sigh.

"The way to make money from robbery is indeed cut off."

Fang Chongyong looked indifferent and continued:

"But the channels for making money have not been cut off at all. It just depends on how to make money, how much to make, and how to use it.

If you need horses, I will find a way to earn tens of thousands of dollars, and it is not difficult to get some private horses."

Fang Chongyong said thoughtfully.

Tens of thousands of dollars in his mouth were as easy as a few pennies.

"Can you really get money?"

Xin Yunjing asked with excitement on his face.

"It's okay. I'll walk around Baitinghai first to see if there are any opportunities. It shouldn't be too difficult."

In Fang Chongyong's view, Liangzhou is like the Shenzhen Special Administrative Region in his previous life. There is wealth everywhere, and even some unknown corners contain gold bars and silver coins that were hidden by plundered caravans to avoid bandits.
