The military power doesn't care, and the political power doesn't care, let's make money, although there are many ways to make money, and the ability to make money is really strong, but Zhang Nuo didn't wantonly expand his business.

And the most important thing is that no matter what kind of business Zhang Nuo does, he likes to bring other people along with him. Even for some businesses that are obviously profitable, Zhang Nuo will hand over to other people to do it. up.

This makes Li Shimin sometimes dumbfounded, feeling that his righteous brother is simply worthless.

In the next few days, no matter whether it was in the court or in Lantian City, everything was calm, as if nothing happened.

Other small work-for-work projects have already started in the disaster area, mainly to take advantage of this opportunity to build water conservancy projects, especially the dredging of the Yellow River, which requires no less manpower than the road construction in Longyou.

These are all things that have been arranged before. As long as the road construction project in Longyou is officially put into operation, and there are no major problems, then other projects will be launched one after another.

Even after the start of construction, many places found that, oh shit, this kind of work-for-relief project is much faster than the usual recruitment of corvees. Although it costs money, the money does not need to be paid by the local government, let alone their own money. Money, naturally the more you can cultivate, the better.

This will be placed in the next year or the next year, but it will be their political achievements. After all, whether these water conservancy projects or road construction, the results will be immediate.

You have to know who can be in charge of the local government, which one is not a human being, and if there is such a good opportunity to benefit the disaster victims with money from the court, it is a fool to let it go.

Therefore, it is clear that all the projects have not started for a few days, but one after another, other places are very "enthusiastic" to report. We would rather the local finance pay a little money to help the court resettle some victims and let the victims come to us. Let's keep working, our water conservancy facilities are going to be repaired here too.

At the beginning, Li Shimin, Changsun Wuji and others didn't pay attention, thinking that it was the local officials who made contributions and were eager to share the worries of the court, but slowly they realized that something was wrong, because there were not enough victims.

That's right, I originally thought that because of the relatively wide range of disasters, the number of victims was relatively large, and Li Shimin and the others were a little bit troubled when it came to resettling the victims, but now they find that, damn it, all the places are "enthusiastic" asking for the resettlement of the victims, and the victims actually Not enough points.

They are all thousand-year-old foxes. Even if they don't understand it for a while, they will understand it all when they turn their heads. This is taking the money and food from the imperial court to recruit the victims to work in the local area.

You must know that the victims left after finishing the work, the money was given by the court, and the food was mobilized by the court, but the project was left in the local area.

This group of elites obviously thought of the benefits of this, so don't hurry up, so now Li Shimin has to worry about how to distribute the victims.

Don't look at the lively fights in the court for this matter, but in fact Li Shimin didn't take it too seriously. After all, the core of the work-for-relief project is the resettlement of the victims. If the project wants to be done, even if In fact, it can be done even if it is not a disaster year. After all, as long as the money is there and the food is there, you are not afraid that you will not be able to hire people.

What Li Shimin is thinking about now is still two things. One is that the old Confucian gang are sour and Confucian.

And the other thing is the Turkic side. There are a lot of things here. Even if you have to wait for the cavalry team from Pyongyang to come back, there are actually a lot of things to prepare here. Then [-] cavalry go to fight the Turks.

Not to mention logistics, folk husbands, etc., this is not a trivial matter, and the departments and personnel involved are not a small number, and the movement should not be too big, otherwise people will notice it and lose the upper hand when attacking up.

Li Shimin did not believe that two countries that could collude with local forces to make trouble in the pass would not have spies in the pass. Li Shimin would not do such self-deception, so everything was done in secret.

Only the most familiar courtiers can feel it. It seems that these generals are more excited recently!

Chapter 652 Cao Xing Meets Qin Qiong

It took Cao Xing nine days to travel day and night from Lantian City to Pyongyang, which was already the fastest speed he could manage. After all, it would take more than two days by boat.

If it weren't for the crazy shipbuilding here in Pyongyang, I'm afraid he wouldn't have gotten on a ship so easily.

However, Cao Xing is not feeling well after the ten-day journey. Not to mention his unkempt hair and face, he still smells bad. This is because he hasn't bathed for ten days. There is no other way, if he is in a hurry , Even when they arrived at the post station, they fell asleep right away, woke up early in the morning and hurried on their way, how could they have the time to take a shower.

So when Cao Xing rushed to meet Qin Qiong at his mansion in Pyongyang, Qin Qiong almost didn't recognize him.

But Cao Xing didn't mind at all, and directly took out the tiger amulet wrapped in layers of cloth, the seal, and the troop dispatching order signed by Zhang Nuo and sealed by Li Shimin from his arms, and stuffed them all into Qin Qiong.

Then he turned his head and started to greet people to serve him wine and food, without treating himself as an outsider at all.

Qin Qiong didn't care at all, the gang members were like this, Cao Xing was obviously on the road and endured hardships, so don't expect to do anything else right now, just want to have a good meal, and then wait a while Back home to take a bath and sleep.

Qin Qiong's family has a habit, that is, because all the people who come and go are military personnel, there are always some meat dishes in the pot, just for these people, even in the middle of the night, they can be picked up and eaten directly.

So as soon as the front foot gave the order, he turned his head and brought it up in a big bowl, and there was a big pot of rice wine attached.

During the dog days, slightly chilled rice wine is the most sweet and thirst-quenching, and it is the best drink.

Cao Xing was also polite, and directly stuffed it into his mouth with both hands.

Qin Qiong frowned and sat aside looking at the transfer order in his hand. He put the tiger talisman and seal letter aside. Those things were just a certificate, and it was because there were more manpower mobilized that he got both the tiger talisman and the seal letter. Otherwise, Zhang Nuo, a soldier in Pyongyang, can let Qin Qiong take him away with a transfer order.

Qin Qiong didn't pay attention to the tiger talisman and the seal letter, and concentrated on looking at the words on the transfer order. It clearly stated the number of troops to be transferred, leading generals, departure time, arrival time, etc., and it was clear that it was not written by Zhang Nuo, after all. Zhang Nuo has never been very good at this kind of official documents, so this transfer order was obviously written down by Zhang Nuo's dictation and Cao Xing's pen.

But on the contrary, the words like a dog crawling seem real. If the whole transfer order has Zhang Nuo's words on it, then Qin Qiong will be suspicious.

But at this time, what he cares most about is not these, but the last few sentences that seem to be teasing, but at first glance, it is the exhortation in Zhang Nuo's tone,

"Old Qin, come back quickly and do Turkic. This is a big deal. If you don't make it, you will miss it. In addition, I also told Cao Xing something, please cooperate!"

Well, it's all in plain language, as if the two of them were chatting and joking in person, but in fact, Qin Qiong knew that if it wasn't necessary, Zhang Nuo, His Highness the King of Qin, would never write such a paragraph redundantly.

Since it was written like this, there must be an arrangement. Qin Qiong looked again, looked up suddenly, looked at Cao Xing and asked,

"His Royal Highness King Qin wants someone to cooperate with you, saying that you have something to do, can you tell me?"

Hearing that the wine and meat in Cao Xing's hands stopped, he looked up and looked around. Qin Qiong waved his hand knowingly, and everyone retreated out in a sensible way. These are the old people of Qin Qiong's family. They have been with Qin Qiong for many years, so they naturally know It's not something that ordinary people can inquire about in the military.

After everyone went out, Cao Xing put down all the wine and meat, wiped his body casually to wipe his hands, then wiped his mouth with his sleeve, then looked at Qin Qiong and said,

"General Qin, you also know that someone was born in His Majesty's personal guards. Although he is the commander of His Highness's guards now, he will eventually go to the battlefield with a knife, so doing things for His Highness is naturally a murderous business. You Are you sure you want to listen?"

Qin Qiong curled her lips in disdain,

"Idiot Cao, don't come here to show off with us, Lao Qin. Since His Highness has mentioned this matter in the transfer order, he must not be afraid of us knowing. You can say it if you like it, and we don't ask if you don't want to say it. How to cooperate, how to cooperate!"

"As for the business of wielding a knife, hehe, this has been done in the Prince Qin's mansion since he entered His Majesty's tent. I have never seen such a business. You motherfucker, don't do this with me!"

Cao Xing chuckled, not annoyed at being scolded, turned his head to Qin Qiong and explained the ins and outs in a low voice.

Qin Qiong didn't speak after listening. She closed her eyes and pondered for a while, then slowly opened her mouth and said in a low voice,

"It's not difficult, but it's just a family of literati who has no power to restrain a chicken. It's not bad if you have a servant with some thick sticks. You still have to sneak attack. If you can't take it down, you can find a tree with a crooked neck to hang yourself." Forget it!"
