Riding and chopping: Overlord of the Han and Hungarians

Chapter 203 201, subdue

Zhang Jian's movements froze slightly and then quickly returned to normal.

With a bit of drunkenness on his face, he cupped his hands and bowed in the direction of Chang'an: "Your Majesty's grace, I am very grateful."

Immediately after, he burped again and turned to Wei Qing.

Some apologetic but somewhat dejected, he said: "I've troubled General Wei to go over this matter, but Qi still disappointed General Wei. The Liao land is barren and the people are poor. Speaking of it, he is not afraid of the general's jokes. Qi has no ambitions. But the most unsightly thing in life is the suffering of the people.”

"Before Qi grew up, whenever the Xiongnu invaded the border, the people of the Liao land would always be empty. Although the court would always move to the side, what should the people who were looted by the Huns do?

Therefore, Qi joined the army and wished to protect the people of Liao with what Qi can do. Only Qi can understand himself, and being able to protect a land is the limit. If he rashly takes charge of an army, he may become anticlimactic. Therefore, Qi can't Follow the general. "

After all, Zhang Qi directly picked up the wine jar, and drank the remaining half of the jar with a sigh of relief.

Whether it's true or not, Wei Qing didn't comment well, but seeing Zhang Qi's appearance, he knew that he couldn't take him away, so he simply didn't continue to mention it, and let go of his airs completely, and started drinking with Zhang Qi.

The two chatted very happily, from the army to the court, from the officials to the Xiongnu, from the Western Regions to Fujian and Yue, they looked like confidants who hated seeing each other late.

After drinking all the wine, both of them were a little weak.

Bai Xing stepped forward to help Zhang Qi at the right time, and said to Huo Qubing, "You can't drink any more, the captain has business in the afternoon, so let's do that for today."

Huo Qubing got up belatedly, nodded and said, "Okay Sister Baixing, this is the first time I've seen uncle drinking so happily, and Youbeiping's military affairs are also busy, let's leave it at that for today."

After all, the two groups supported Zhang Qiweiqing out of the restaurant, and then parted ways at the gate of the city.

For a few miles, Zhang Qi and Weiqing, who were in a daze, woke up at the same time, and each turned their heads in silence.

"Uncle! Are you drunk?!"

Huo Qubing asked in surprise.

The latter ignored him, but looked in the direction where Zhang Qi and the others disappeared, with a hint of fear flashing in his eyes.

"Uncle, you are the captain. Is there any problem?"

Huo Qubing is not stupid, even if he is a fool, he found something wrong at this time.

Hearing Huo Qubing's question, Wei Qing sighed: "There is no problem, that's the biggest problem."

"Why?"

Wei Qing looked back, got off Li Ze's horse, returned to his own horse, pinched the horse's belly, and the horse ran forward.

"Why? A 20-year-old young man, is he really so indifferent to fame and fortune?"

"If he is really indifferent to fame and wealth, why is it that almost everyone in Liaodong knows him?"

"This person has a problem, and it's a big problem!"

Wei Qing said firmly.

Huo Qubing was a little dazed for a while, and subconsciously defended Zhang Qi: "If the captain really has a problem, then why did he borrow troops when he said he would borrow troops in the last battle of Youbeiping, and all the soldiers he borrowed were elites, and they did everything in one fell swoop? The fighter I waited for?"

"This matter is also something I don't understand. Forget it, go back to You Beiping first, and send a letter to Chang'an. Your Majesty will make a decision."

the other side.

Zhang Qi rode on his cross-country horse, followed by several guards, and whispered to Bai Xing beside him, "Send a message to Hu Shui and tell him to make some noise at the border."

Bai Xing cupped his hands: "No!"

"My lord, are they suspicious?"

Zhang Qi nodded: "Any lie is based on flaws, and we are no exception. My appearance is too strange, my ambition is too strange, and the behavior of the people in Liaodi is too strange. No wonder outsiders are suspicious."

"Let the workers work overtime, increase the wages from three renminbi to ten renminbi a day, and expand the number of workers, and build multiple sections at the same time. If the population of Liao is not enough, they will be transferred from Wuhuan. May next year at the latest, I want to see It will be completed in Shanhaiguan!"

"promise!"

"But." Bai Xing hesitated.

Zhang Qi glanced at her: "Say what you want to say."

"Yes, Your Majesty, the number of workers in Liaodi is already more than 6. If you want to build Xiongguan in May next year, you need to expand the number of people to at least 20. This will put pressure on food and coins."

The food pressure that Bai Xing mentioned was not that Wuhuan Xianbei didn't have enough food, but what she was worried about was the pressure on transportation.

Last year, Xianbei's 40 mu of fields, sorghum, pumpkins, and soybeans had a good harvest, and the warehouses were full of one warehouse after another.

Not only can it supply millions of Wuhuan Xianbei's population, but it also has a surplus.

In addition, winter wheat was replanted immediately after harvesting sorghum pumpkins last year. This year's field output is two rounds, and the consumption of grain and grass is enough to cope with it, not to mention the huge amount of seafood that has been put into storage with the investment of sailboats.

Zhang Qi nodded: "Then send a letter back to Wuhuan to ask Hu Ling and the others to come up with a countermeasure. In addition, tell the various banks that the second round of the currency plan has started, and the 'White Dragon' can be released."

"promise!"

Bai Xing cupped his hands again, and wrote what Zhang Qi said on a few small pieces of paper.

As for the "white dragon" Zhang Qi mentioned, it is actually a silver coin, but it is not pure silver, but copper inlaid with silver. The style of the coin is the same as that of the "Qiqian". Silver was filled to increase the value of the coin.

To put it bluntly, currency is credit. As long as Zhang Qi doesn't mess around, Bailong's implementation will go smoothly, because the current credit system with him as the core is very reliable.

The horse trots.

Zhang Qi and his party returned to Duwei's Mansion within a few days.

Bai Xing went to the dovecote, and released more than a dozen carrier pigeons in succession, all of which were bound for Wuhuan.

And Zhang Qi, at this moment, also came to the prison with the smell of alcohol all over his body.

It was the young spy who was found when he went out before.

"How are you thinking?"

The soldiers of the Captain's Mansion who guarded the prison moved a stool for Zhang Qi. This stool was passed down from Wuhuan and was written by Zhang Qi. The soldiers liked to use it very much. Compared with sitting on knees or sitting on the ground, the stool is natural It is much more convenient.

The young spy was bound and pupaed on the ground like a caterpillar.

Zhang Qi waved his hand, and a soldier stepped forward and untied the rope.

The young spy let out a long breath, and his whole body relaxed a lot.

Zhang Qi waved again, and another soldier walked over with a roast chicken and a pot of rice wine, and placed them in front of the young spy.

After the bondage was released, the young spy picked up the roast chicken and began to chew on it, pouring wine while chewing.

Gumbling.

"Can you really trust me?"

In fact, the young spy had already thought about it for a long time when he was locked in the prison. What Zhang Qi said before had broken his heart. Yes, he is still so young, and there are so many things that he has not done. Why should he do this? die.

It's just that he couldn't figure out how Zhang Qi could be so confident that he wouldn't betray him. After betraying him once, there would be a second time.

Zhang Qi smiled: "You say that, it means you have thought clearly, come here."

After hooking his hands, Zhang Qi asked the young spy to take a few steps forward, his hand brushed over his head, and a spirit point poured in.

At first, the spirit was squeezed out several times, but as the roast chicken in the young man's hand was eaten and the wine was also drunk, the good taste shook the young man's heart several times.

In the end, Lingdian settled down, and Zhang Qi got up, laughed and waved.

"Let him out, he will be his own from now on."

The soldiers were surprised, but they all cupped their hands: "No!"
