Chapter 192 Drunk into the curtain (thanks to the red at the end of the Yangtze River)
"What can we do? The military households in Congling have just lived a prosperous life, and suddenly two sources of income have been cut off. How can they accept it? No, no! As soon as I take office, they will scold me harshly. I
It’s better to quit, it would be more enjoyable to stay here and manage the warehouse.”
Li Siye laughed and grabbed his sleeve, and said kindly: "Listen to me first, how can I let you solve this kind of problem alone? You sell cotton and quilts directly in bulk to Shule and Yanqi,
Hu merchants from Khotan and other places. For the remaining part, you can discuss with Gayancong, the leader of the Shinni Kingdom, and the two families will join forces to organize a caravan to send the output of the Shinni and Shouchu City to Dunhuang.
If we sell it in Lanzhou, or even the east, west, south, and north cities of Chang'an and Luoyang, the profits gained will be even greater."
"In this way, the people from the Identification Department are responsible for transportation and contact, and Congling Shouchu is responsible for ensuring the safety of the caravan. It doesn't take more than a year. Just a trip to Chang'an is enough to protect Congling Shouchu's financial resources.
Treat the first year as an experiment. It doesn’t matter if you don’t make any money. Don’t we still have a wine shop and a cloth shop? As long as the Congling Shouhuo military households are still there, our money will circulate in a small area. Besides, we Shoubo
There are still several million copper coins in the city's treasury, enough for you to wait until the money comes back."
Yu Gou could understand Li Siye's words. He nodded convinced and felt at ease.
"There is another thing. I planted a nail inside Lianyun Fort. His name is Zong Lu. He is a Tubo general. This person will play a big role for us in the future. According to the agreement between me and him, we will meet every fifteen or sixteen days.
, the connection point is at the source of the Yiduo River at Siye Peak in the Karakoram Mountains..."
"Wait a minute," Yu Gou stretched out his hand to stop him: "What peak do you mean?"
"Siye Peak is named after me. It is also the first peak at the intersection of the Karakoram Mountains and Congling. There is a cave there. The date of the first joint is the day of Jiyue Mangzhong. From today on
Thirteen days to go, the first thing you do when you go back is to do this. Ha, what do you think I do? You can actually name that one. There are hundreds or even thousands of peaks in the entire mountain range. You can name any one you want.
Yu Goufeng."
Yu Gou waved his hands awkwardly: "I'm not obsessed with this, I just want to ask, the nail you planted is a Tubo general, and you haven't even had a formal meeting? You want me to take over? What if?
He immediately became suspicious when we met and killed me with a knife?"
"It's because I didn't think carefully. I was busy getting promoted and took office the past few days." Li Siye touched his nose and said, "Well, before I go to the city, I will accompany you to Congling and hand over the position.
I’m going to give you a call as well.”
Kang Ju Nu jumped down from the wooden platform in the center, spinning and flying in the aisle of the wine shop, causing waves of fragrant wind to pass by Li Siye.
He turned around and smiled back, leaned over and continued: "I will leave the guarding of Congling in your hands. You must guard this stall for me. If you can continue to accumulate wealth, Li Siye will be rich in the future."
Report."
Of course Yu Gou understood what Li Siye meant by this generous reward. He was already very satisfied and did not dare to ask for more.
He was originally a small official in Congling. If he had not met Li Siye, and if Congling had not changed as he did later, his fate would be the same as that of most border officials. He would follow the guard to help him.
Take care of the warehouse accounts, and then try to find a Han woman to marry. If you can't find one, then there is no need to be too strict. Marry a local woman from Congling, a woman from the Pantuo region or a woman from the Jini country. Anyway, we are not from a famous family.
Regardless of Han ancestry, even the saints of the Li family have Hu blood mixed in their blood.
But now his life has another possibility. Li Siye has opened a new window for him, allowing him to taste the sweetness of managing wealth. He no longer has to be a boring and routine clerk, but a manager of a small town. As a manager of a small town.
As a scholar, he is not very keen on money. What he enjoys is the process of constantly creating and storing wealth, and the process of managing and expanding Shouzuo City. This is like a game full of infinite fun.
Thinking of this, Yu Gou's heart gradually surged, and he wished he could fly to Congling to catch him now. The first half of his life was simply in vain, and his wonderful life has only begun now, and Li Siye gave him all this, although it was not as good as his parents.
But it has exceeded the division commander.
Taking advantage of the current state of drunkenness, Yu Gou suddenly stood up, raised his hands to his eyebrows, knelt on the ground, bowed to the ground, bowed his head, and then bowed again.
Li Siye quickly stepped forward to help him: "What are you doing? There are too many people here."
There were indeed a few barbarians in front of the surrounding tables pointing in this direction, but Yu Gou was so drunk that he didn't care about it at all. If he hadn't been drunk, he wouldn't have been able to clear his face.
"No, Alang." Yu Gou leaned back on the table, his hands still raised to his eyebrows and said: "What's the talk of generous rewards? You have shown me the kindness to guide me. From today on, I will be your guest, and you will be your guest in Congling."
The miser."
Li Siye couldn't bear to look directly at him and waved his hand quickly: "Guests are just guests. Why are you still a miser? This is not a good word."
Yu Gouzui's eyes were dazed, and he swayed his shoulders and said, "If you don't call him a miser, how can you call him a watchdog?"
Li Siye stroked his back: "As long as you have this intention, you don't have to be so straightforward. It seems that you are really drunk."
Wu Sangao wandered over again carrying a wine bowl, passed by the Kangguo dancer, and danced with her enchantingly with his fat belly, causing several barbarians at the tables around him to whistle.
Li Siye turned around and applauded, Wu Sangao sat at the same table with them again, and the three of them drank the last drop of wine from the wine jar, and then they were satisfied.
Yu Gou's emotions were ups and downs like a river today, so he was also the most drunk and needed help. Li Siye simply spent money to hire a busboy in the wine shop and ordered him to help Yu Gou and send him back to his house.
residence.
…
On the morning of the third day, Li Siye decided to set off. He first returned to Congling with Yu Gou to guard the enemy, and after settling the remaining issues in Congling, he went to the Eighth Regiment of Diaotuan City to serve as the captain.
Yu Gou had been waiting outside the post gate for a long time. He waited until Li Siye and his entourage came out with their horses before he stepped forward to greet them.
Li Siye lowered his head to look, and saw that the expression on his face was as usual, completely different from the humble one when he was drunk the day before yesterday. He couldn't help but curiously asked: "Yu Gou, what did I say to you and what happened in the wine shop the day before yesterday?"
Son, do you still remember?"
Yu Gou put his hand on his forehead and said confusedly: "I still remember some things in my daze, just what you said to me at the beginning, but I don't remember what happened after that."
"Okay, as your new envoy, you should open the way first and we will follow it."
"Alang, you are the most noble person here, please go first."
"Alang?"
Yu Gou's face showed a little shyness, and then he said calmly: "Although I said it after being drunk, as a person, you should keep your promises. How can you deny it because you are drunk?"
Li Siye felt more relieved now. It turned out that his decision was not a whim.
