Datang's free and easy concubine

Chapter 1387
As soon as Su Cheng stepped into the Yamen of the Ministry of War, a big paw like a bear's paw came over and slapped Su Cheng heavily on the shoulder.

This meant that Su Cheng's martial arts were already top-notch, otherwise his shoulders would have been shattered by this slap.

Who else can show affection like this?

After Cheng Yaojin finished filming, he said in a low voice, "Boy, are you short of money? I still have a lot of savings here!"

Su Cheng was a little baffled when he heard this, and it was the first time he heard someone ask him if he was short of money. After all, who in Chang'an didn't know that he was so rich?

Why did Cheng Yaojin ask him that?

Even Cheng Yaojin, who drank soup with him, has become a rich and powerful family in Chang'an's nobles. How could Cheng Yaojin feel that he is short of money?

Even if he is really short of money, even Cheng Yaojin's little savings can't get into his eyes.

Su Cheng was a little puzzled and said, "I'm short of money? Who told you that?"

British Duke Li Ji said with a smile: "He heard that you were going to open a bank, so he asked you if you were short of money."

Yu Chigong nodded repeatedly and said: "Yes, yes, it takes a lot of investment to open a bank. Although you can make money in the later stage, you may have to spend millions in the early stage. Although we don't have much money, we still have some. You If the money is not in your hand, just open your mouth."

All the people looked at Su Cheng eagerly, and they were not stupid. They knew that although the initial investment in opening a bank was huge, it would definitely generate a lot of money.

Su Cheng shook his head and smiled: "Who knows, I just came up with an idea, and it was Changle and the others who were discussing it. Their women earn money for makeup, and I'm just a shopkeeper, I'm too lazy to intervene."

Cheng Yaojin and the others nearly rolled their eyes when they heard this, and they just made money for their makeup?

If the bank is opened, I am afraid that it will not be able to earn millions of dollars a year. Is this just money for fans?
However, when they heard that Princess Changle and the others were opening a bank, they couldn't say anything more.

Li Jing laughed and said, "Why are you still making such a big fuss to get some questionnaires, so that the idea of ​​opening a bank will be spread in advance, and I'm afraid that someone will open a bank to compete with you for business."

Su Cheng smiled indifferently: "Anyone who wants to open it can open it. Anyway, if they want to open it, they will open it sooner or later. There are many people doing any business. There is no complete monopoly. Monopoly is not conducive to the development of the market."

It was true that they didn't exist before, but now they do. Glass and perfume aren't the only ones sold by the Su family, Cheng Yaojin and the others couldn't help muttering in their hearts.

However, they also understand that even if Su Cheng has not disclosed the idea of ​​opening a bank now, once Su Cheng's bank is opened, there will definitely be aristocratic families who follow suit to open a bank, because anyone with a discerning eye can see that opening a bank is a source of wealth business.

Li Ji smiled and said, "You really have a big heart."

After hearing this, Cheng Yaojin yelled: "Boy Su, are you serious? If you are serious, then we will start a bank too!"

Su Cheng waved his hands and said with a smile: "Of course it's serious, you can open it if you want, I really don't care."

Li Ji smiled and said, "Zhijie, you still want to open a bank. Do you have that much money?"

Cheng Yaojin scratched his head and said, "Of course my own money is not enough, but why don't we get together and start a bank together?"

Li Xiaogong smiled and said: "Even if we put together together, it is far less than Su Cheng's money!"

Cheng Yaojin said: "Why do we compare with Su Cheng? We don't have as much money as Su Cheng, so we should open fewer banks!"

Yuchi smiled and said: "I think what Lao Cheng said is right, otherwise our family's money would be moldy at home!"

Su Cheng said with a smile: "Actually, it's okay to choose some states and cities to open banks."

While Su Cheng and the others were discussing, a fast horse was galloping along the concrete official road. The carriages and pedestrians along the way gave way one after another, but no one expressed any dissatisfaction.

Because the galloping cavalry had a triangular flag on their shoulders, which was a sign of the [-]-mile rush, and it could not be used for non-emergency military situations.

The soldiers on the city gate saw the cavalry rushing from a distance and couldn't help shouting: "Get out of the way, get out of the way, there is an urgent military situation!"

The crowd quickly dispersed, the cavalry slowed down their horses and then rode straight into the city, heading straight for the palace along Zhuque Avenue.

The soldiers on the city wall watched the cavalry go away with serious expressions on their faces.

"The [-]-mile rush should come from the northwest, right?"

"Sure, there is no fighting anywhere except in the northwest."

"It doesn't look good!"

"If it is a big victory, I will definitely shout when I enter the city, now..."

A group of soldiers couldn't help being silent when they said this, because this is really unbelievable. Even the Eastern Turks have been destroyed, and even Goguryeo has been conquered. How could they defeat the Northwest?

The cavalry rushed all the way towards the palace, and they were seen by many people on the road. They were delighted when they saw the urgent military situation of the Eight Hundred Miles, because all the military intelligence sent by the Eight Hundred Miles over the years were great victories in detail.

But then they had a bad feeling, because they didn't feel any joy and celebration from the cavalry.

Could it be that the army that went out was defeated?

Just, how is this possible?

In the past few years, the army has been invincible in all battles, how could it be possible to be defeated?
In the yamen of the Ministry of War, Cheng Yaojin was just talking about the fun, suddenly a small official appeared outside the hall, and said with a trace of panic: "Qi report to the Duke, I heard that you have come to rush for eight hundred miles, and your majesty has already called you in." In the palace."

"It seems that something happened to the northwest after all!" Li Jing sighed softly.

Cheng Yaojin frowned and said: "Although Zhang Liang is not talented as a general, he was one of the few generals in Wagang back then, and he has gone through so many battles. How could he defeat Tubo?"

Li Ji shook his head slightly and said, "Zhang Liang has a small talent but no great wisdom, and is cowardly by nature but greedy for merit. After all, this dispatch of troops is too hasty, and I'm afraid we have underestimated Tubo."

Zhang Liang was Li Ji's general when he was in Wagang, and later he followed him to surrender to the Tang Dynasty, so Li Ji can be said to have the most say.

Su Cheng sighed: "Duke Xun must have not listened to our advice and underestimated the enemy."

These days, everyone has some bad premonitions in their hearts, but they didn't expect it to come true, which makes everyone's face not very good. After this defeat, the war in the northwest will resume, which is not a good thing after all.

"Let's go, let's enter the palace first." Li Xiaogong sighed.

Now that the Northwest was defeated, the emperor would definitely call everyone into the palace to discuss matters.

A group of people left the Yamen of the Ministry of War and walked towards the Liangyi Hall. As expected, they met the servant who was hurriedly found on the way.

"Oh, my lords, His Majesty has summoned important ministers to discuss matters, and is waiting in the Hall of Liangyi now. Please go to the Hall of Liangyi quickly."
