Chapter three hundred and eighty eighth

Just like a woman who comforts my aunt and drinks more hot water, the straight man’s comfort is never sincere but can’t find the point.

The same goes for Gu Qing's words to comfort Ge Shuhan.

Geshuhan felt heartbroken and felt more and more like a farmer, the kind of pig farmer.

"Gu Jieshuai, I'm here to give away people today, please don't talk about money?" Ge Shuhan said with difficulty: "Send people... to help friendly troops form Modao Camp, my Hexi army is unshirkable..."

Gu Qing smiled and said, "Of course, of course, it's a vulgarity to talk about money. Brother Shu Jie gave him a thousand swordsman for free. He was so proud that he was a heroic person and a righteous person. I, Anxi Army, was grateful."

As he said that, Gu Qing reached out to invite Ge Shu Han into the handsome tent, but Ge Shu Han suddenly grabbed his arm and said with an ugly face: "I won't talk about money, but... I won't give it away for nothing."

Gu Qing was stunned for a moment, then smiled.

It is really both obedient and firm. The so-called "not talking about money" is actually just not talking about money. You still have to give what you should give. The face of the Changsheng General is a bit ugly. It is not embarrassing to sell people.

"Yes, it's not for free. I heard that the Hexi Army has had some short-term money and food recently. The Anxi Army responded to Qiong Yao, and of course there will be some rebirths to express my feelings. Brother Shu Jie's handsome mentor, don't refuse." Gu Qing said with a smile.

After saying this, Ge Shuhan finally stopped being embarrassed and nodded happily: "I will thank Gu Jieshuai for giving him generously."

Gu Qing smiled and turned his head, curling his lips secretly.

This is probably the legendary poorer and more pretentious.

A fact that whether you admit it or not is objectively present is that the poorer a person, the stronger his self-esteem, and people with weak self-esteem are probably not poor. Because they do not have self-esteem, they have no lower limit, so there is a high probability of getting rich.

Judging from all aspects of characteristics, Geshuhan possesses all the essence of the poor, including the act of stealing 5,000 war horses from the Anxi Army? It also belongs to the type of "poor mountains and bad waters to produce troublemakers".

Please ask Ge Shuhan to enter the handsome tent?       Ge Shuhan was shocked as soon as he walked in and stood in the handsome tent door for a long time without moving.

The decoration in the handsome tent is too luxurious for Geshuhan? A piece of tiger skin is spread at the foot of the main seat? A few hollow gilded copper balls are hanging upside down in the tent, and the sandalwood inside is filled with smoke? The few short tables on the guest and guest seats are all made of marble, and a fire pit is dug next to it? A grill is placed on the fire pit? A whole sheep is rolling and roasting on the grill.

There are dishes and wine cups on the table. The dishes are silverware from the Western Regions, and wine cups are expensive glass cups? The wine cups are all golden pots from the Western Regions? One corner of the handsome tent is Gu Qing's living place, and a huge pear wood bed is placed. The bed columns along the bed are all inlaid with gold and jade.

Geshuhan looked around and was extremely shocked. The decoration in the handsome tent could only be described in two words? That is "expensive", which is basically luxurious made of money? It makes people... jealous.

"Bah! Nouveau riche!" Ge Shuhan cursed in his heart.

Seeing that he stood still, Gu Qing looked at his gaze? He couldn't help but smile and explained: "Ge Shu Jieshuai laughed. Gu is used to living in the tent of Daying Shuai? He is not very used to living in the Jie Mansion in the city? He is inevitably a little exaggerated about the place where he lives? Hehe."

Geshuhan forced a smile: "Peaceful and noble."

Gu Qing pulled the corner of his mouth.

Everyone is a cultural person, do you think I don’t understand? This comment is nothing more than just turning a corner and calling me a nouveau riche.

Bah! Poor people!

The guest and host sat down, Gu Qing ordered the wine and food to be served. Ge Shuhan hesitated for a moment and asked Gu Qing in a low voice whether it was not appropriate to drink in the camp.

Gu Qing said indifferently: "It's okay, today Geshu Festival is a VIP, you can make an exception."

What else did Geshuhan have to say? The guards have brought the wine and food in. The whole sheep next to them has also been roasted. Gu Qing held a dagger in his hand and cut off a piece of right hind leg meat from the whole sheep and handed it to Geshuhan.

After coming to Anxi for a long time, he inevitably got into some problems with the Hu people. Gu Qing also learned a lot about the etiquette of cutting his flesh and dividing his guests.

Then Gu Qing held the cup in his hands to toast Geshuhan, and Geshuhan also politely raised the cup to return. The atmosphere of the guest and host was very harmonious for a while.

"Ge Shu Jieshu, you and my jurisdiction are adjacent to each other, so you will have to have more contact in the future. My Anxi Jiefu will face Tubo and Dashi directly, and your Hexi Jiefu will face Tubo and the remnants of the Turkic remnants in the north. You and I are both responsible for the defense of the west side of the Tang Dynasty. Therefore, not only should we echo each other in intelligence, but we should also communicate with each other. This is a win-win situation."

Ge Shuhan curled his lips, and he understood Gu Qing's words, meaning that Ge Shu Jieshuai continued to sell his brothers next time. All the fattened brothers in your house are sent, I'll give you money.

I was so angry, but Ge Shu Jieshuai, who was short of money, inexplicably felt sad and sad.

In fact, military towns in various places have taxes, and the taxes of the Datang military town are basically determined by the Jiedu. For example, the Jiedu Prefecture in Hexi uses taxes from Liangzhou City and affiliated towns. The court also allocates money and grain every year, but more than 50,000 Hexi troops are still not enough to rely on local taxes and court allocations.

All the income can fill the stomachs of the soldiers, but it is difficult to eat a few pieces of meat. The Jiefu cannot afford the money at all. Once the imperial court postponed the allocation of money and grain, the Jiefu's accounts will fall directly below the red line, which is very dangerous.

The Anxi Jiedushi also relies on taxes and allocations from the four towns and courts. In comparison, Anxi is actually more poor because Anxi is in the desert and has basically no land suitable for cultivation. There is almost no grain output every year. Speaking of which, Anxi is poorer than Hexi. However, Gu Qing actually managed Anxi very well. Looking at the decorations in the coach's tent and the nouveau riche who often buys money and grain for the soldiers under Geshuhan, you will know that Anxi is not short of money.

The reason is that there is no talent in Hexi Jiefu, and the annual taxes are only paid by farmers, and the business is even more messy. Anxi seems to be reborn in the past or two years, and its reputation has gradually spread beyond the Western Regions. After all, Gu Qing has managed it well. This young man only took more than a year to manage Anxi so richly.

Today, Anxi may not even look down on the money and food allocated by the imperial court every year.

After three rounds of drinking, Geshuhan couldn't help but feel a little relieved.

This time he personally sent someone to Anxi, of course not because he was polite. In fact, Geshuhan had his own plans. In the words of his previous life, he came to examine the advanced experience of his brother units, brought Gu Qing's experience in governing Anxi back to Hexi, and developed the economy of Liangzhou City according to his coin, and gradually realized the financial freedom of Hexi Jiefu. From then on, he no longer waited for the court's poor money and grain allocation.

At this time, the atmosphere was harmonious. Geshuhan then put down the wine cup, stroked the wine stains on his beard, and said with a smile: "Before I came to Kucha Daying, I passed Yanqi Town, and found that there were many caravans in Yanqi Town, most of which were Hu merchants. They were all happy and said that they wanted to go to Kucha City to buy and sell goods. They also said that Kucha City is now a well-known place for merchants in the Western Regions. There are countless opportunities and countless wealth in the city. After hearing this, I deeply admire Gu Jieshuai's ability to govern. I hope Gu Jieshuai will give you advice."

Gu Qing said oh, and said carelessly: "There is nothing to say. When Gu just took office in Anxi, he found that the city was poor. The cost of the Jiefu to allocate the soldiers of Anxi Army was pitifully small. I was used to being big in Chang'an back then. How could I bear such a poor life? So I wanted to make some changes to satisfy my extravagant and extremely desireful life. In life, I can't let myself live a wronged life."

Geshuhan nodded with a smile: "I heard for a long time that Gu Jieshuai was also a famous scholar in the world when he was in Chang'an City. He has a peerless poetic talent and a straightforward personality. He was admired by the Chang'an scholars. Today I have seen the style of your famous scholars."

Gu Qing blinked, could the so-called "famous scholar" in his eyes be his image as a nouveau riche?

Do you have any misunderstandings about "famous scholars"?

Ge Shuhan sighed, looked around the handsome tent, and said quietly: "Gu Jieshuai must be very comfortable living in such a luxurious handsome tent every day, right? It is enviable that he can live in such a magnificent place in the bitter and cold place outside the border."

Gu Qing said slowly: "There is nothing to be envied, it's just that you have too much money and you have nowhere to spend it."

"I wake up every day on this bed with gold-inlaid jade. When I open my eyes, I see the exquisite gilded incense copper ball hanging high beside the bed. I get up and dressed, step on the Persian wool carpet. My guards brought a glass cup to rinse my mouth and handed me the exquisite delicacies filled with Western goldware. Oh, by the way, the desert climate is dry, and I often feel itchy on my back. I usually scratched itch with jade Ruyi, which is cool and comfortable. It is said that it can also nourish the skin. Jade Ruyi is produced in the local Hetian Town. It is quite rare for the whole piece of jade to be carved into Ruyi..."

The smile on Geshuhan's face seemed to be frozen, and the more he heard it, the more he felt uncomfortable.

Gu Qing sighed quietly, "Brother Shu Jieshuai, look, although my life looks so arrogant and extravagant, do you think I am very happy? Every late at night, I hold the glass cup carved by craftsmen in the Western Regions and drink the purest grapes in the Western Regions. In fact, I don't feel happy at all. The life of rich people is too boring and boring. My spirit is extremely empty, empty..."

Geshuhan's cheeks twitched involuntarily, like a sign of a stroke.

Very angry, really angry...

What should I do if I want to beat him to death? I wait online, it's quite urgent.

No matter how angry he was, he could only bear it. Since he met him once at Yumen Pass, Ge Shuhan had a good understanding of Gu Qing. This man is more popular than himself and dared to start a war with a disagreement. He has never been an enemy or a friendly army. Besides, at this time, people are in the Anxi camp. In theory, there are tens of thousands of Anxi soldiers staring at him around the commander's tent. How dare he use this bastard to show off his wealth in front of him?

Taking a deep breath, Ge Shuhan resisted his jealousy, bowed his hand and asked humbly: "So, how can I do it to be as rich as you? I want to be empty in my spirit..."
