Song Dynasty Cannon Fodder Counterattack Record

Chapter 194

Zhou Qing never expected that the governor of the Liao people not only did not object to their Song people's activities in Suzhou, but also invited them to Suzhou City to do business.Of course, the governor also has conditions. The first is that there must be taxation, the second is that the big wood must be bought from the governor, and the third is to help the governor smuggle some goods to Song Dynasty, and then buy some designated things back.

This governor named Yelu Niegu really had a good plan.The people of the Liao Kingdom were like serfs, and he, the governor, could basically use them at will. It was free to use free serfs to log and sell them to Song merchants in exchange for real money.On this basis, he still has to collect taxes and make profits through the smuggling trade. In a few years, the governor will be fat.

Zhou Qing felt that such a business acumen was outstanding among the Khitan people, so he asked about the origin of the governor.Luo Luo proudly said that the governor was a descendant of a great nobleman. He was originally an official in Nanjing, that is, Youzhou, in the Liao Kingdom. Later, he offended the king of the Southern Court for some reason and was sent to a remote place like Suzhou.

He served as an official in Nanjing of the Liao Kingdom. He is a person who has seen the world. No wonder he is so smart.Moreover, I am used to living a luxurious life in Nanjing, so I must be very disappointed to be dispatched to a poor place like Suzhou, and it is normal to think about money.So Zhou Qing put down his guard a little bit, and asked his followers to go to the boat to get the spirits, and then talked about the price with Luo Luo. One asked for the price, and the other sat down to pay back the money. They exchanged views frankly in a friendly atmosphere.

It's not just a matter of money, so Zhou Qing actually gave a very favorable price.Under the influence of spirits, the two parties quickly reached an agreement.At this time, Zhou Qing suddenly frowned: "Master Luo, just now I suddenly remembered something, which caused me some trouble."

Luo Luo poured himself another bowl of wine and asked, "What's the matter?"

Zhou Qing said: "Master Luo should understand that my business is not seen in the Song Dynasty. I am not afraid of the government's notice if I make a small fuss, but if I agree to the governor's request, the business will be big, and the boats I need will be big." If there are too many, it will be too eye-catching in the Song Dynasty, and the government will definitely make trouble."

Thinking that this was indeed the case, Luo Luo asked, "Then what should I do?"

Zhou Qing pretended to think for a while and said: "The government of the Song Dynasty is in charge of each other. As long as they don't stay in one place all the time, there is nothing to worry about. But in this case, I need a place here to put the boat. Release the goods."

Although Luo Luo's eyes were red from drinking, he still understood Zhou Qing's meaning: "This is easy. There is a bigger bay in this place and Suzhou, you can dock at will."

Zhou Qing said: "I also want to build a warehouse on the shore."

Luo Luo boldly swiped his hand and said, "Look where is good, that's where it is." For Luo Luo, thousands of acres of land can't bring more benefits than a caravan, so he is really Don't care about a piece of land.No matter how big the land is given to you, can you still move to Da Song?
Zhou Qing was not greedy, pointing to the West Jiguan Mountain, which almost closed the harbor into an inner lake, and said, "I want to build some houses there now."

Luo Luo drank another large bowl of wine and said casually, "Okay, as you like."

Happy deal.In order to express his respect, Zhou Qing asked Luo Luo to hand over the one hundred pieces of silk and ten jars of spirits he presented to the governor of Suzhou, and also gave Luo Luo ten pieces of silk and five jars of spirits, and repeatedly promised that when he came next time Go to Suzhou to meet Yelu Niegu.Luo Luo stayed here for one night, and left the lion's mouth contentedly.

After sending Luoluo away with Maibuku, Zhou Qing asked Maibuku with gestures and words: "He asked us to buy wood from the government, so what do you do?"

The sincere Maibuku almost shed tears—what a good man, he still thinks about us now.He coughed and sighed and said that these tribal people were afraid that they would be allocated logging jobs by the government again, and they would not lose any benefits.

Zhou Qing thought that Li Buqi wanted him to win over the local Han people and tribes and fight against the Liao people together in the future, so he said that he would never forget Maibuku and would try his best to make his tribe live a better life.

Now Mai Buku was completely moved and ruined, according to the customs of the Bohai people, such friends must be made.So he pulled Zhou Qing and worshiped him.

Ten days later, Zhou Qing returned to Gangya Island and told Tao Wei about the situation at Lion's Mouth. Tao Wei scratched his head, looked at the group of prisoners who were practicing and asked, "So, we won't fight the Liao people for the time being? What about these people?"

Zhou Qing said: "Mr. Li said that it is best to go ashore quietly. Wouldn't it be better to fight the Liao people after we occupy a place there? You choose a hundred or ten of these people, and send the rest to Dan Let’s go to Na Island. I guess the Korean people will find that we have more and more people on Tamna Island at some point, and the Korean people may not be as easy to talk to as the Liao people.”

Tao Wei said: "It seems that this is the only way to go. However, my brother should write to the officials to report the affairs of the Liao Kingdom as soon as possible."

Zhou Qing said: "It's natural. After I send this batch of timber ashore, I will send someone to Tokyo to deliver the letter immediately."

------------------

Li Buqi still had another headache when he got home.In the evening, Zhao Min told him that Zhe Yinghui's younger brother had sent a lot of things a few days ago, even the original maid.

Li Buqi called Zhe Yinghui to ask, but Zhe Yinghui shyly said that the Zhe family didn't care about her, and she let her find a husband-in-law.After finishing speaking, he threw down a letter and ran away blushing.

Li Buqi opened the letter and saw that it was written by the current Patriarch of Zhejia. The righteousness is that Zheyinghui was kicked out by Zhejia, and he just asked Li Buqi to look after Gu Zheyinghui because of the blood connection.

What the hell, this feels like the rhythm of throwing away the burden.Why didn't you go to the Yang family for this matter?
"Officer, it seems that sister Yinghui won't leave the Li family." When Li Buqi massaged Zhao Min's calf, Zhao Min jokingly said when he saw his official's frown.

Li Buqi said, "What's going on?"

"Sister Yinghui has been fascinated by the officials, and she is determined to follow the officials. Otherwise, how could a girl's family stay in our house so brazenly?"

"Oh? How could it be? I've always regarded him as a little girl, and I haven't even talked to her much." Li Buqi was a little skeptical: "It can't be Zhejia..."

Zhao Min hurriedly said: "Don't be suspicious of Sister Yinghui, the official. The official is actually very different. Now every girl in the capital wants to marry a husband like the official. Not to mention that the official's words are better than Liu San's." It’s not too much to change, that year, a poem made Yinghui’s sister die for officials. The slave family talked with Yinghui’s sister, and felt that Yinghui was really sincere to officials, so he ran out of the house by himself.”

Li Buqi asked, "Aren't you jealous?"

Zhao Min said: "The servants know that the officials are doing big things. These servants don't understand, but they know that it is better to have more people to help the officials. There are some things that the officials don't even believe in their partners who have been playing with since childhood. Uncles and uncles are more credible than the people next to them. Besides, my aunt always complains that the family is thin, and always wants to have more children in the family."

Li Buqi smiled and said, "If you say that, you're not afraid that I'll bring a few in tomorrow?"

Zhao Min said very solemnly: "The slave family knows that officials are self-respecting, and others can't force people into our house. How could they just bring people in? This slave family is at ease."

Oh, you've said that, what else can I say?Li Buqi lowered his head and massaged Zhao Min carefully.

After half a month, Li Buqi didn't show up at the Military Weapons Supervision, but went to Chunze Supervision first.There he presided over the mourning ceremony for the fallen soldiers and summarized the operations of the Zhenwu Army.He was imprisoned in Chunze for another five days before returning to work in Bianliang.

Li does not abandon this identity, since he is going to work, he must go to court.Today is not a lunar new year, and the emperor sits in the Wende Hall as usual.At the beginning of the court meeting, the prime minister said: "If you have something to do, play it early!"

Li Buqi went out of duty immediately: "I have something to do. A few days ago, I asked you to set up a police department to be in charge of guarding and inspecting illegal activities. I wonder if your majesty can make a decision?"

Chen Zhizhong frowned slightly, and said with a somber face: "Governments in various places have their own responsibilities for maintaining law and order and punishing criminals. If there are major incidents, the Forbidden Army and Xiangjun can call them in. There is a Yushitai to investigate illegal matters. The old man thought that there should be another one. The Police Department is superfluous. Is there any need to ask about this?"

Li Buqi said: "Xianggong's words cannot be agreed by the lower officials. Some words are not good for the lower officials to put on paper, which will lose the face of the country and related people. Therefore, the lower officials please meet with His Majesty to express their feelings."

Chen Zhizhong frowned completely: "A gentleman is open and frank, what can't he say in front of everyone?"

Li Buqi said: "The master said that it is taboo for the venerable, but for the elders. Isn't the master a gentleman?"

Chen Zhizhong choked on Li Buqi, so he had to go to the Wende Hall to ask the emperor for instructions. Soon the emperor announced that Li Buqi would go to the Wende Hall. At the same time, Wen Yanbo and Ding Du, who were in charge of political affairs, and Xia Song, the privy envoy, were also announced. Deputy Privy Envoys Pang Ji and Gao Ruona.

Li Buqi told the emperor in the memorial that the police department is the emperor's weapon to control the world and prevent subversion. He does not believe that the emperor will not be tempted.Seeing that the emperor called so many people at once, Li Buqi knew that the emperor actually wanted to set up the police department, but there were too many people who opposed it, so he could only let Li Buqi make a breakthrough.

Hehe, I'm going to blame the emperor again.But in order to achieve my goal, I have to bear the blame.
