Shaking his head, he didn’t think about the fate of that stupid woman. When gods fight, it’s better not to mess with mortals like him. It’s only right to prepare things for the New Year with peace of mind! After all, this is his first New Year in the Tang Dynasty. Why?
It’s a bit commemorative, isn’t it?
Speaking of the Chinese New Year, this is basically the most important festival for Chinese people! Regardless of thousands of years, one thing that has never changed during the Chinese New Year is shopping. Farmers have to buy some new cloth to make a set of clothes for their children, and Xiao Han has to think about it.
What should I give to my subordinates?
Although there is no such thing as welfare in the Tang Dynasty, Xiao Han stubbornly believes that if there is no year-end bonus, can the year be called the Chinese New Year?
Anyway, I have plenty of money now, so it’s not like I just keep it at home. Last time when Xue Shou and the others started selling glassware and made a lot of money, Xiao Han quietly followed suit and sold a few items in exchange for a lot of money. Don’t leave it.
It has developed a patina in the warehouse. Take it out this time and try the pleasure of giving out year-end bonuses to others!
After receiving the news, Butler Lu felt that his head was spinning. He tried to persuade him a few times, but it seemed to be useless. He thought that Mr. Hou had lost his temper again, so he had no choice but to arrange for more stable people to follow Xiao Han and stop doing anything out of the ordinary.
It happened, the conflict with the Cui family a while ago scared him!
I don't want to go to Chang'an, but I have to go.
Because apart from Chang'an, you really can't buy anything if you have money in other places. With the money Xiao Han brings now, he can buy it all directly in a trip to the Sanyuan County Fair. There is nothing valuable on the street!
I took the idiot Xiaodong with me, got a few carts full of gifts, set up a queue, and headed to Chang'an! This time I gave away the New Year's gifts along the way, so as to save myself trouble in the future.
Before entering Chang'an, Xiao Han stopped by to visit Li Shimin. He had been training outside the city recently. Even when Liu Wenjing was killed last time, he was speechless. It wasn't that he wasn't angry, but his natural calmness told him that anger was of no use at this time.
Only mastering power is the unchanging truth!
So after Liu Wenjing's accident, Li Shimin used all his anger to train his troops! Because of Liuli, he now also has a large amount of funds! With sufficient military pay, the army's combat effectiveness has been increasing steadily.
And seeing Li Shimin holding back, Li Yuan also felt a little indebted to Li Shimin.
That Liu Wenjing was annoying, arrogant and arrogant, and even had a lot of complaints against herself as the emperor. In anger, she beheaded him, and she regretted it later.
After all, Liu Wenjing was also an important supporter of Li Shimin. As a result, the already balanced situation was likely to be broken again, so Li Yuan also issued decrees in the past few days to reward and appease Li Shimin.
The military camp with tens of thousands of people stationed there was so huge that it seemed endless when viewed from a distance! Xiao Han placed Xiaodong and the others outside the military camp, and then relied on his face to get to the Chinese army's tent without any hindrance.
Li Shimin was studying the sand table with his head down at this time. When he saw Xiao Han coming, he was a little surprised. He pulled Xiao Han to sit down and asked him how he could give it up.
Xiao Han drove for a long time and walked around the military camp for a long time. He was already exhausted. Besides, he had nothing to be polite to Xiao Lizi, so he sat down first, grabbed the water bottle on the table and drank a sip of it.
After a pause, he reluctantly said: "Why do I listen to you and feel like a turtle, huddled up every day? I can't come out?"
Li Shimin forced himself not to laugh and dragged a chair over to sit on it: "Yes, who says it can't be done? I'm just asking casually!"
"Humph, that's pretty much it!" Xiao Han rolled his eyes at Li Shimin and continued: "It's almost Yuan Day, so I'm going to Chang'an to buy some things, and I'll give you some gifts along the way, so that I can be protected in the future.
point……"
"Haha, do you need to be so polite?" Li Shimin squinted his eyes and smiled very happily. For some reason, his mood always improved inexplicably when he saw Xiao Han.
"You're not polite. It's not a valuable thing. You've stolen all the valuable things! I didn't see you give me any gifts." Xiao Han also smiled brightly. What he is doing now is investment!
Think about Wei Xiaobao, who has no ability, but just because he has a strong relationship with the emperor, he can sit on the throne of the first-class Lu Dinggong. He should establish a good relationship with Xiao Lizi first, so that he can get a gold medal to avoid death in the future...
Just as they were thinking beautifully, a deliberate cough suddenly came from outside the tent. Xiao Han and Li Shimin turned around at the same time and looked over. At the door of the tent, as the curtain was opened, Chai Shao's big face appeared in front of them!
Chai Shao didn't know how long he had been eavesdropping outside. As soon as he entered the door, he laughed proudly: "Hahaha! What did I hear just now? Xiao Han, you are not honest. Why didn't you send something to me without me? You are wasting our brother's life.
, I heard you were coming and came over to see you quickly, and you treat me like this?"
Yes, this master has also arrived. Xiao Han quickly stood up to greet him. He didn't want to get nearly punched in the chest, so he quickly dodged and said with a smile: "Brother Chai, how can you miss me so much! No one can live without you.
Yes? And I specially prepared good things for you! If you don’t believe it, just look at it!”
As he spoke, Xiao Han took out a cloth bag from his pocket and poured it into Chai Shao's hand, and a small pile of diced meat appeared in his hand!
"What is this?" Chai Shao frowned, picked up one and looked at it again and again, and finally threw it into his mouth at Xiao Han's signal. He bit his teeth, and suddenly, a unique sweet fragrance filled his entire mouth.
Moreover, the meat becomes more and more fragrant the more you chew it, and the more you chew it, the more flavorful it becomes!
"Beef! Where did you get that?" Chai Shao was so surprised and happy that he almost exclaimed!
Since returning to Chang'an, those damn officials have been surrounding him like flies. They can be seen wherever he goes. As a result, he has been staying in the military camp, and he does not dare to kill a few cows like before.
Try something new, my mouth has almost faded away recently!
Xiao Han nodded, took a few more and stuffed them into Li Shimin, and then said: "It's beef! But it's not farm cattle, it's yak meat from the west! It's also luck, as the year is approaching, and the people on the grassland are driving them to carry the meat.
I took some furs and passed through Sanyuan County on my way to Chang'an. Unexpectedly, the cows were not adapted to the environment here and almost died. When I saw them, I mercifully replaced them with a group of donkeys and planned to kill them and cure them for the winter.
Seeing that there is a lot of meat, I will tinker with some air-dried meat for you to try!"
"Awesome!" After hearing this, Chai Shao immediately stretched out his thumb and said in approval: "In terms of food, you are definitely the best! Otherwise, don't give me anything else, just two cars of this, and some strong liquor.
Got it!"
"Two cars? You really don't want more!"
"Hey, there's nothing I can do about it, people are just so down to earth..."
The three of them were chatting and making trouble. Seeing that the time was delayed a lot, Xiao Han didn't dare to stay any longer. There were really a lot of things going on today, so he quickly declined the invitation for the two of them to eat together. The food in the army was really asking for a kiss.
Life is better than eating steamed buns, how can you dare to eat them again?
He quickly said goodbye, left the camp, called Xiaodong and the others who were waiting outside, and continued walking to Chang'an.
It was cold and windy, and the group of people were walking in silence. There was a heater in Xiao Han's carriage, so he didn't feel too cold. He was still in the mood to look at the scenery outside. In the distance, he could see the majestic Great Wall of Chang'an.
, Xiao Han suddenly saw what seemed to be Liu Hongji wandering on the road with seven or eight people.
It's not that Xiao Han has good eyesight, but the recognition is too high with such a big bald head still steaming! He had to say hello, he quickly patted the carriage to ask the driver to stop, jumped out of the carriage and shouted at him.
Liu Hongji was wandering around boredly at this time. Suddenly he heard someone calling him. When he looked back, he was immediately happy!
"Xiao Han? Why are you here?"
Xiao Han, who was striding over, didn't rush to reply. Instead, he circled around Liu Hongji twice, then looked at the timid soldiers around him, and whispered to him: "What's wrong, brother? Have you been demoted?"
The grinning Liu Hongji suddenly froze, his face changed, and he angrily said to Xiao Han: "How do you talk? Who was demoted?!"
