Struggle in the early Tang Dynasty

After returning to the study, the servant girl Chunxiang had already brought the quilt into the room ahead of time. Guo Ye couldn't straighten up after a long day of running around. After tossing around in the study for a while, he fell asleep in a daze.

The moon sets, the stars sink, the stars move, and the sun rises in the east.

One night passed, and a new day began to watch again.

After eating breakfast, Guo Ye had already learned from the housekeeper, Uncle Fu, that his father-in-law had arranged for his servants to carry out the grain from the Wu family's granary, and he could escort it to the official warehouse of the Longxi County Government at any time.

Guo Ye asked Uncle Tuofu to take the food to the county in no hurry, and then called Cheng Erniu, Ruan Laosan, and the fat and thin Toutuo Zhu Pengchun and Gan Zhushou to the study to discuss the matter.

Zhu Pengchun, Cheng Erniu and others were settled down by Fubo, they ate, drank and slept well, they were really happy and at ease.

For those yamen servants who looked majestic but didn't have a lot of money in their pockets, the Wu family's hospitality meal yesterday was really high-standard and high-end.

Therefore, as soon as they entered Guo Ye's study, Cheng Erniu and others both envied and thanked Guo Ye.

Zhu Pengchun, in particular, even praised Guo Ye to the sky, and he was against the high-standard treatment yesterday. In his opinion, Guo Ye's status in the Wu family was very high.

Only Guo Ye knew that his status in the Wu family was an illusion, and if he took Zhu Pengchun's flattery as real, then he would not be far from the real thing.

The plan is currently in progress, Guo Ye has no time to talk nonsense with Zhu Pengchun and others, after a few perfunctory sentences, they directly entered the topic.

Guo Ye slowly told the urgent matter that his father-in-law Wu Maocai promised to borrow food to solve Zaoban and Zhang Xiaoqi's urgent needs.

After saying that, the whole room fell into a deathly silence.

Everyone stared at Guo Ye with wide-eyed eyes, even Gan Zhushou, a hangman who was usually silent, stared at Guo Ye in a daze.

This is incredible!

Unexpectedly, the problem that everyone thought was more difficult than reaching the sky was easily solved by Guo Ye with his hands and feet at dusk yesterday.

Man, that's a hundred shi of grain, a total of ten thousand catties, worth more than five hundred taels of white money.

You must know that their annual salary is more than ten taels, and 500 taels of silver is not enough to save even if they die!

Cheng Erniu, Ruan Laosan, and all the yamen servants admired Guo Ye again, like a torrential river flowing continuously, like a Yangtze River bursting its embankment and rushing down thousands of miles.

This fellow Zhu Pengchun was even more shameless to the extreme, boasting constantly: "Brother Guo is Brother Guo, after all, he is the treasure of our class!"

Guo Ye secretly flattened his mouth, the treasure of farting class.

Only he himself knew about his own affairs, and he had to deceive, coax, and promise, and it took a lot of effort to convince Wu Maocai.

If you can't take down the Liu family and get back the taxes and food, this matter will be hung up like a dick!

Ruan Laosan, who has a close friendship with Zhang Xiaoqi, has already asked anxiously: "Brother Guo, can we escort the grain back to the county for a job right now? What if we go back late and the county captain notices that Xiaoqi's head is not right?" Paula!"

Everyone also said yes, after all, they are colleagues in the same class, and they have a good relationship, and they couldn't bear to see their brothers and sisters have accidents.

In particular, Qin Wei was making trouble behind this incident, which directly affected Zaoban's position in the mind of the county captain.

To put it bluntly, everyone is prosperous, and everyone is lost.

Seeing that everyone expressed their opinions one after another, Guo Ye suddenly raised his right hand and interrupted: "Don't worry, if this is the only way, it can only treat the symptoms but not the root cause. Bantou Pang sent me to lead you to Dongliu Township not just to find some Food to pay for the lost taxes and food. If you just go back home like this, then the Liu family is too damn cheap, and you will let Qin Wei, a bastard, be too frightened."

Uh?

Everyone was stunned. Could it be that Guo Xiaoge still has some tricks?

Seeing the questioning looks from the crowd, Guo Ye slowly revealed his plan.

Hearing Guo Ye's cadenced and deceptive words like the later generations of orators, everyone's emotions were slowly aroused.

When the last word of the plan was finished, all the faces were filled with joy, and Cheng Erniu was gearing up and roared in a deep voice: "I want it, I want it, I want it. Brother Guo can do whatever he wants, This time, my pair of iron fists are going to beat the Liu family's fucking father and son hard."

Ruan Lao San, Gan Zhushou, and the yamen servants who came with them heard Guo Ye's plan. Although they were not filled with righteous indignation like Cheng Erniu, they did not object. The father-in-law's family borrowed it, do they still have something to say?

Zhu Pengchun was the only one who made a suggestion and asked, "Brother Guo said just now that we need someone to pretend to be a grain merchant in another county. Where can we find a suitable candidate?"

After Guo Ye heard this, he looked at Zhu Pengchun a little appreciatively. After all, he knew how to make money, and his brain was more active than others.

Then he stared at Zhu Pengchun with almost narrow eyes, without saying a word for a long time.

Zhu Pengchun couldn't help being stunned when he saw that Brother Guo was staring at him after he finished asking.

Then he turned his head to look at Cheng Erniu, Gan Zhushou, Ruan Laosan, and several other yamen servants, they all looked at him with the same look, as if a client had entered a brothel and fell in love with a prostitute. body.

I grass!

Zhu Pengchun suddenly realized that he was really fucking ungrateful, and really wanted to slap himself twice.

Then he pointed to his own nose with his right hand, widened his eyes, and asked in surprise: "Brother Guo, the grain seller you mentioned is my old Zhu, right?"

Guo Ye still didn't speak, but he already raised his right thumb to give him a thumbs up.

Cheng Erniu on the side immediately echoed and supported Guo Ye: "What's the matter? You still don't want to? Don't forget, Pang Bantou explained before leaving that all actions are under the command, and only our little brother Guo will follow the lead."

Gan Zhushou, Ruan Laosan and others also nodded in agreement.

The grievance in Zhu Pengchun's heart, your sister, Zhu Pengchun, Zhu Pengchun, you deserve it for making you feel bad and cheap!

Guo Ye stepped forward and patted Zhu Pengchun on the shoulder, encouraging him: "Old Zhu, you are quick-witted and articulate. You are a person who can entrust important responsibilities to you. I value you."

Hearing Guo Ye's high-level praise for himself, Zhu Pengchun felt confident for no reason, and asked in disbelief: "Really? Brother Guo, do you really think so highly of Lao Zhu?"

Guo Ye nodded noncommittally, and then whispered a few words in Zhu Pengchun's ear, making everyone present confused.

After being whispered into Guo Ye's ear, Zhu Pengchun's face suddenly flushed, he opened his mouth in surprise, and murmured in his mouth, "This, this, Brother Guo, is it true?"

Guo Ye laughed loudly, and said loudly: "They are all brothers who eat out of a pot, I want to deceive you, I am your grandson!"

Chapter 23 Dad, You Are Too Confused

After lunch that day, Dongliu Township suddenly came to Dongliu Township to sell and buy grain from the neighboring Bashu County.

The businessman Zhu Chun took a few servants to wander around Dongliu Township and shouted, saying that the price of grain in Bashu County had risen, and there was an urgent need to buy tens of thousands of catties of grain.

No, the Wu family has already begun to transport grains out of the hospital in large quantities, and sell them to Zhu Chun one by one at a price that is [-]% higher than the market price.

The Wu family sold such a large amount of grain, which envied the ordinary people in Dongliu Township, and they were all guessing in their hearts how much money the Wu family would have to get into the account this time.

If there is envy, there will naturally be envy.

At the gate of Wu's house there was a pile of grain as high as a hill, and when sacks of sacks were being weighed, some good people had already spread the news to Liu's house in Lizheng, which was less than two miles away from Wu's house.

Lizheng Liu Laolai was sitting in the lobby with a bowl of tea and his son Liu Amang listening to the vivid report of the visitor, and his face became more exciting.

Liu Laolai's lean and stick-like body tightened suddenly, and the high and protruding cheekbones on his cheeks trembled and twitched from time to time, he didn't know whether it was joy or surprise.
