Datang Happy Landlord

Chapter 607;

Chapter 570;
Li Yi took the order and took two of his subordinates, without delaying a moment, they rushed to the mansion of General Qin in Chang'an City.

Qin Qiong came back from duty in the evening, and just sat in the main hall for a while, the subordinates came in to report;
"Report to A Lang, Lord Hou sent someone to report the matter."

"Oh? Pass it in."

"It's Aaron."

"Meet the General."

"Exemption."

"Yu'er called you here for something?"

"Returning to the general, the caravan on the Northwest Silk Road came back to report. Some of them returned with more than 800 good horses, more than 4000 sheep, and more than 900 cattle. Come back and send the villain to report to the general."

Qin Qiong didn't speak immediately, his eyes flashed brightly, and he had different thoughts depending on the focus. What Li Yu was happy about was that Qin Qiong was only interested in the [-] prairie horses for the number of sheep and cattle.

Qin Qiong, who was silent for a while, finally spoke;
"Go to your husband's yard and rest for one night before going back to Lantian tomorrow."

"It's the general, thank you for taking care of the villain."

"Let's go."

"Yes."

"Come on!"

"people at."

"Prepare the horse, the old man will go to the palace to report to His Majesty."

"only!"

Qin Qiong relaxed and led the guards to the gate of the palace to exchange for the badge. Along the way, she found out that His Majesty the Emperor was looking at the little prince at the Queen's Highness, so she abducted to the gate of the Queen's bedroom to report and stood waiting.

The emperor and the eldest grandson empress were sitting in the main hall, Li Shimin was holding the prince who had been a few months old, his eyes were full of fatherly love, and the servant came in to report;
"Reporting to the sage, General Qin has arrived and is waiting outside the hall."

"Oh? Shubao must have something important to discuss when he comes here, and the general will be invited to the hall."

"promise!"

As soon as Li Shimin handed over the prince to the nanny next to him, Qin Qiong strode in;

"I pay homage to His Majesty the Emperor, Your Royal Highness the Empress, and good fortune and peace."

"Shubao, hurry up and get rid of the courtesy."

"The general is free."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, thank you, Your Highness."

"Shu Bao, sit down and talk."

"Yes, thank you Your Majesty for taking care of me."

"Your Majesty, Li Dalang sent someone to report a group of people who came back from the Silk Road."

"Well, I'm going to discuss this matter with you guys tomorrow, and the [-]-mile express delivery was sent to my study yesterday, but I don't know the details. After finishing Shubao, you came to the palace, do you know if you have changed to a war horse? "

"Returning to Your Majesty, I didn't remember the number of cattle and sheep carefully, but only remembered that there are more than two thousand and eight hundred good horses."

Li Shimin leaned over immediately after hearing this data;

"What? Nearly three thousand horses?"

"Exactly, the minister heard it very clearly."

Li Yu underestimated the court's love for war horses, [-] horses, Li Yu thought it was too little, and didn't take it seriously, but he didn't know that the court would be very happy with the number of [-] horses!

With the backward breeding environment and the low survival rate, now there are sixteen guards and horses in the world, and each guard is equipped with a thousand cavalry. When major events are encountered, the sixteen guards are often combined. Unified distribution and scheduling, this time two or three thousand horses came back at once... It is still the first-class goods with long endurance on the grassland, how can Li Shimin not be excited?
Li Shimin suppressed his excitement and looked at Qin Qiong;

"It's a lot, I'm happy to hear that, but I don't know if the grassland people will use some old and sick horses to fool the caravan?"

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, Li Dalang came with a letter with the registration book of the caravan attached. The caravan people who came to report the letter also said that the caravan also has a familiar hand with a horse. The illness is mild and can be cured, but it is accepted. I bought a few hundred horses, but they are all within the number of [-], and the letter is here, I dare to ask Your Majesty to read it."

"Okay, okay, this is the best, I am also thinking about it, I will also take a look at the details."

As Qin Qiong was speaking, she took out a thick letter from her arms, and presented it with both hands. Qian Dehai took the letter and quickly handed it over. Li Shimin briefly read Li Dalang's letter, with a disdainful expression on the corner of his mouth. choked;
"The eight-year-old's handwriting is three points more beautiful than his handwriting, and he is ignorant all day long!"

The Empress Changsun next to her was covering her mouth and laughing. After Li Shimin choked, he took out the caravan's letter book and studied it carefully, pointing to the book and reading it word by word.

"Six out of 220 male horses can be used for breeding, and eight out of 350 mares can be used for breeding. The oldest is seven years old, and the youngest is over three and a half years old...

it is good!good good good good!That King Ma Bin was really powerful, and all the horses he selected were strong and strong. "

Li Shimin sighed and continued reading after two sentences;
"A claret horse with superior stamina on the grassland! There are 560 first-class horses... There are nine of the 680 first-class horses in the dark clouds, snow, sweat and blood in the Western Regions, ranging from two to five years old...!"

Li Shimin stood up as soon as he read this, and he still didn't forget to put away the book sent by the caravan under his excitement, and then walked back and forth in the main hall of Empress Changsun... muttering...

"Are there more than 500 grassland war vests? Are they real or fake? There are even bloody BMWs from the Western Regions? They are still first-class dark clouds and snow! It's a pity that there are only more than 600. If this kind of first-class dark clouds and snow has A number of tens of thousands can form a team of iron-blooded cavalry..."

Qin Qiong had never opened the caravan's letter book, so he didn't know the specific situation at all. Now that he heard the dark clouds and snow from the Western Regions, and the number of damn near [-] horses, he couldn't help standing up!
After turning around again, Li Shimin and Qin Qiong met each other's eyes;

"Shubao, could it be... the dark cloud cover snow that was rated as the first class... the number of six or seven hundred horses came together, and I felt a little dizzy when I heard it.
Can Shubao know who are familiar with horses in their caravan... What are their skills and methods?Don't get me wrong?What if we turn the grade C into the first grade?When the time comes, I'll be having fun again. "

Qin Qiong affirmed with a serious face to comfort His Majesty's anxious and anxious mood;

"Your Majesty, don't worry, General Yuchi has sent two veterans, and several old brothers have also sent experts there, a total of sixteen capable people are staying in the caravan!
In addition, Li Dalang's family took out a chief steward in his 60s to sit in the town in person. Back then, the horses used by your Majesty's three thousand Xuanjia cavalry were handled by this chief steward himself!Your Majesty, do you still remember this person? "

After listening to these few words, Li Shimin relaxed his body, took a few breaths, and sat back firmly on his head, his face very calm;
"Remember, how could I forget this powerful person? I still remember that Aye wanted to put him in the household registration of a good citizen and reward him with a fifth-rank official position. He even built two mansions for him. It's a pity that Cui Zhuming Don't need anything...

Those three thousand Xuanjia mounts back then... To be honest, they are too old to be used much. Uncle Bao, my most powerful three thousand elite soldiers are still as strong as before, and they are all veterans who are familiar with the battle formation. elite soldiers!It's a pity that those three thousand war horses... oh..."

Seeing the desolate expression on the face of the Ninth Five-Year Lord, lamenting that his elite soldiers had no matching horses and could not be used again, Qin Qiong was also helpless. Back then, His Majesty's three thousand black armored cavalry came and went like wind and lightning, powerful Shaking the Quartet, who doesn't know?

Elite soldiers can be gathered, but war horses are not something that can be obtained by spending money. The elder brother sent out the chief minister of the clan to collect them from all directions. More than 3000 strong and first-class horses were assembled through scheming...

Only then did the famous three thousand Xuanjia cavalry become famous, but time has passed, and now they are all old horses over ten years old. Although the three thousand elite soldiers are still full of energy, they do not have a matching mount. An idiot's dreaming...

"As I know, there are no first-class horses, and those we domesticate... Your Majesty's three thousand black horses will not be able to perform as well as they used to, alas..."

Empress Changsun also stood up to comfort her man;

"Your Majesty, don't worry. The caravans have begun to return at this moment, and they also got more than [-] first-class prairie horses in their hands, and nearly [-] first-class horses in the Western Regions. Your Majesty will gather around again. I am thinking about three thousand. It's not something that is as difficult as climbing the sky!

The [-] steeds back then are well known to the world, but His Majesty's [-] elite soldiers are still brave and good at fighting. The Xuanjia cavalry can be resurrected in an instant, and then make invincible achievements! "

Li Shimin was shocked when he heard the impassioned words, and immediately his eyes shone when he heard the unworldly achievements, but when he thought of the reality...he was so depressed...

"Queen, you have forgotten an important thing! Alas... the return of the first-class prairie horse in his early five hundred years must be everyone's favorite, not to mention the six or seven hundred first-class horses in the Western Regions.

For the generals who live with their heads pinned to their waistbands, which general would not be envious of this level of treasure?Which general doesn't want it? "

Qin Qiong next to him couldn't help but nod, nonsense!This kind of treasure...you can pick three or five out of ten thousand horses to use, who wouldn't want it?I both want two horses, and I and Zhijie are Da Lang's uncles, so I definitely don't have to worry about the mounts, but what about the other generals?

Today's generals who own a good horse are offering it as a treasure, not to mention the first-class ones, and those who have a second-class good one are going to show off everywhere. Suddenly there are six or seven hundred more horses. Who doesn't like waiting for top horses?
Wait and see when the war horse comes back!It depends on how the military generals of the Manchu Dynasty acted. They must have tried their best to beg His Majesty to get a horse back.Ask Your Majesty to ask for a war horse and still use it to make meritorious service to Your Majesty, will His Majesty give it or not?
If you don't give it, it's really hard to refuse, so give it!There are not many treasures that are so difficult to come by, and if you ask a group of generals to loot them, wouldn't it be even less...

Empress Changsun smacked her mouth twice, and she also had a severe headache, but thinking of the important affairs of the court, Empress Changsun gritted her teeth hard;
"Your Majesty, no matter if it is five hundred first-class horses in the grassland or seven hundred first-class horses in the Western Regions, you must not let go of one horse. It is important for the generals to charge forward, but the three thousand black armors of your majesty are no small matter either!

There are more than 1000 strong and strong horses, and there is not much gap in the 1000 horses. If you ask the caravan to imagine a way to gather more than [-] horses, the [-] invincible horses will be resurrected immediately. Can fight, but never dare to let go of a horse, Your Majesty! "

Li Shimin nodded and remained silent, Qin Qiong also said with a serious face;

"Report to Your Majesty, Her Majesty's decision is correct, and I have seconded the proposal!"

"Ugh……"

Li Shimin sighed fiercely, and didn't try to defend himself, he just stared at Qin Qiong and asked;

"Shubao, you are my confidant general. You have saved my life from fire and water several times, and I treat you as a brother. I only ask one question. Shubao, you have to speak from your heart, let's not talk about the grassland armor Wait, let’s just talk about the Wuyun Gaixue sweat blood BMW that we got in the hands of the Western Regions, Shubao, do you want one or not?”

"I really want it."

Qin Qiong was not good at telling nonsense, and now the emperor wanted to speak his mind again, so Qin Qiong could only tell the truth.

"Look, Queen, don't talk about Shubao, I want to get one, let alone other generals?"

After Li Shimin finished speaking, he sighed heavily again, picked up the book on the table and looked it over carefully, and sighed again after a while and said;

"Look! It's not something you can get with money. It's clearly written in it. This is the caravan of the Western Regions running into a wall on the grassland. On the way back, we happened to meet our caravan. Erfang, the horse-hunter, was thinking about it, and tried his best to spare a lot of money to get it back, and if he wants to get it again, how can he be happy without a certain fate?"

Empress Changsun also had a sad face, but she couldn't help asking;
"Your Majesty, I don't know how much the caravan of six or seven hundred bloody BMWs covered in dark clouds and snow was exchanged for?"

Li Shimin laughed when he heard this;
"Zeng Agui used two altars of Wuliangye, one jar of thirty catties, plus two iron pots, and five bolts of silk in exchange for one treasure."

Qin Qiong, who had just sat down next to her, was dumbfounded, and Empress Changsun also stretched her neck and sighed;

"God, these things can be exchanged for a treasure that the generals dream of?"

Li Shimin thought for a while and found it very interesting, he couldn't help laughing out loud;
"Hahahahaha, no wonder that evil person insisted on calling these two idiots out by name, and also said that when they arrived on the prairie, they would be the main ones.

Now it seems that there seems to be some truth, the book sent by the caravan says that Zeng Agui and Daniu have been reluctant to leave since they entered the grassland, but they are so ostentatious!

There are leaders of small tribes receiving them everywhere, and there are grassland girls sleeping with them. The two idiots are refreshing, and they take Wuliangye to entertain those people with dignity and status on the grassland. Now they are called by the leaders of several small tribes. For Anda, his status on the grassland is extremely honorable. "

Empress Changsun also laughed;
"Those two idiot concubines have met each other many times, and they don't know each other's words. Isn't it flattering to suddenly take over the power? It's not bad if they don't go crazy."

Empress Changsun was just about to say a few words of villain's success, and Qin Qiong next to her also came to make fun of her;

"Fortunately, Da Lang also arranged for two steady chief stewards to go there, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous."

Li Shimin nodded heavily;

"I know Cui Zhuming very well. He should be 64 this year, right?"

"Returning to Your Majesty, it's about the same. I remember that when I arranged for your Majesty three thousand first-class horses, Cui Daguan was already over 50 years old, and now almost ten years have passed."

"Yeah, it's been ten years, and he's over 60 years old. I know he's a very stable person, and I've also inquired about the other chief steward, Ma Binwang.

Before that, General Chang’s melodies were almost all written by him. After he wrote them, Chang Hebi copied them against each other. In the past, I knew clearly that those melodies with flowers and flowers were definitely not something in General Chang’s stomach, but the generals Most of them have this kind of staff, so I just turned a blind eye and didn't ask more questions.

In the spring, that wicked person had to admit that an unknown person was secretly in charge of the affairs on the Silk Road. I was so worried that I hurriedly asked someone to investigate.

In the end, I found out after checking that this was a Qing guest who had been in General Chang’s mansion for several years. I immediately found all the memorials of General Chang in the past, compared them and checked them, and called General Chang in again, explaining carefully what happened before and after. , Only then did I realize that I was really a talent. "

Qin Qiong couldn't say much about this matter, so he could only pretend to be deaf and dumb. Empress Changsun smiled and spoke to break the embarrassing situation;
"Your Majesty, I heard that the poppy had set up a family property for the newly appointed chief steward in the corner of Chang'an City, and did not arrange to live in Li's village, and took him to visit many civil servants' residences, and called that The chief steward surnamed Ma is secretly in charge of the power, thinking about that rogue, I guess he wants to train talents for the court, right?"

Li Shimin nodded with a smile;

"That's right, Empress, you guessed rightly. The night before the caravan set off, Nie Zhan came to the palace in person, explained his thoughts to me, and said firmly that this person has the ability to be a prime minister, and he can be of great use. Remind me Pay attention to three points, he is recruiting talents for the imperial court, I know everything in my heart, the starting point of that villain is indeed loyal to the imperial court and me, I have no doubts about this."
