Struggle in the early Tang Dynasty

Guo Ye heard the words and understood what Kang Bao was referring to. It was nothing more than the words he had just stunned everyone, my ideals and pursuits.

He looked at Kang Bao who was eager for knowledge and exploration, shrugged with a half-smile, shook his head and laughed loudly:

"Half-truth, half-false, half-true, half-false, what do you think?"

After saying that, leaving Kang Bao with a flamboyant back, swaggering and humming a little tune, he walked out of the gate of the restaurant.

Chapter 252 Pension Silver

Leaving the restaurant, Guo Ye returned to the inn, summoned Guan Jiujiu'er for a face-to-face order, and directly entrusted him to draft the merit list.

Listening to Guo Ye's dictation, Master Bingsi unexpectedly handed over two great achievements to Su Dingfang, who had never met him before.As for Guo Ye's name, the direct descendants of Guo's class, and the merits of several thousand sons in Longxi, only a few words were mentioned, and in an instant, the credits were reversed in a mess.

After listening to it, Guan Jiujiu had an expression of reluctance and regret.

After Guo Ye had finished speaking, and he had almost finished noting the outline of the merit list, he still couldn't hold back, and sighed: "Master Bingsi, is it a big loss for us to do this? It's a pity, it's a pity. ..."

Guo Ye looked at Guan Jiujiu's unlucky appearance of being a rich landlord who was cheated of a hundred acres of fertile land, and couldn't help but feel amused. With a smile on his lips, he said, "Guan Shuban, there is a mystery here, and I will tell you about it later."

Then he took advantage of the situation and added a sentence, saying: "Remember, my little brother always likes to take one step and watch three steps. Today's small concessions and retreats are for the sake of getting more in the future. Only when you are willing to give up do you have to give up." Well, where did the reluctance come from? Besides, our foundation is still shallow now, even if we let us ascend to the sky and enter Chang'an, where the water is shallow and the king is full of dragons and tigers, do you think the little brother is covered in the city of Chang'an? Can you live?"

"what……"

Guan Jiujiu's head was full of muddleheadedness, he was frightened after being told by Guo Ye for a while, and his face looked confused.

Guo Ye looked at Guan Jiujiu's piss, and warned earnestly: "Guan Jiujiu, the biggest difference between a smart person and a stupid person is that a smart person knows how much he eats at any time, so he can eat well; And what about stupid people? They never think about how much food they have, and they eat and drink when they are hungry, regardless of whether the stomach can hold it, they just eat and drink desperately, and the end result is that they are bloated to death .”

"This time, do you understand?"

It was the first time for Guan Jiujiu to be so harshly preached by Guo Ye, his back was covered with cold sweat, and he secretly regretted being tempted by his own interests for a while.

After what Guo Ye said, he already understood why the military commander gave most of the credit to Su Dingfang. To put it bluntly, the reason is very simple. Today's Guo Xiaoge still has Guo's class, and his foundation is still shallow.

Yes, you can't force yourself to eat as big a bowl of rice as you have a big appetite.

After figuring this out, Guan Jiujiu couldn't help nodding his head frequently, and humbly said: "My lord's words are precious, and the students have been taught."

As he said that, he folded the outline of the application form that had been written before and put it in his sleeve, and said softly: "Students are going to draft the application form now, and I will take my leave first."

Guo Ye groaned and waved his hand to signal him to leave on his own.

After waiting until Guan Jiujiu walked slowly to the door, shook the feather fan very badly, and left in high spirits.

Guo Ye shook his head and smiled wryly: "Recently everything has been going smoothly and there have been great victories, not to mention them, even my brother himself is a little eager for quick success. Everyone thinks how bold people are and how productive they are. This kind of exaggeration is absolutely unacceptable. !"

After talking to himself, Guo Ye secretly reminded himself that it is inevitable to train troops in a short period of time, but ideological and political education must gradually keep up.

Sighing and feeling the same, just about to go out, suddenly, another ball of meat rolled into the door.

Just as Guan Jiujiu left, Fatty Zhu entered the room after him.

Two false think tanks, two deadly enemies, really Jiaobulimeng, Mengbulijiao.

Seeing that Guo Ye was the only one in the room, Fatty Zhu seemed a little casual, and greeted Guo Ye with a cheap smile: "Hey, I thought that my little brother was always busy, so he must not be in the room, but I didn't expect Lao Zhu to catch up .”

Seeing Fatty Zhu's timing so accurately, Guo Ye had already guessed in his heart that he was catching up. The grandson just came in after watching Guan Jiujiu leave his room.

But Guo Ye didn't understand, how could he not see clearly that Fatty Zhu and Guan Jiujiu were vying for favor and asking for credit in front of him?

Moreover, he is also happy to see this phenomenon.

He remembered that a great emperor once said that the best way to control subordinates does not lie in how united your subordinates are, but in how fiercely your subordinates fight within the scope of your control.

Guo Ye, deeply agrees.

Everyone has a sense of crisis, everyone has fears and limitations, and this can inspire everyone to maximize their value, and they can do their best to remain loyal to their superiors.

Guo Ye signaled Fatty Zhu to find a seat by himself, and then asked: "You have nothing to go to the Three Treasures Hall with your money bag. Could it be that your pocket is empty again, and you reached out for money with me?"

Fatty Zhu laughed, deliberately moved the stool closer, and said in an affectionate manner with Guo Ye: "How can it be, now that we have obtained the treasures of the former Sui Dynasty, old Zhu's eyes are dazzled by the mountains of silver. Not short of money. Besides, Lao Zhu has already sent people back to Yizhou to ask Sun Mingyan, the chief rudder of the Cao Gang, for the bonus of the first phase of the Minjiang water transport, not short of money, not short of money."

Guo Ye authorized Fatty Zhu yesterday to withdraw part of the silver from the hidden treasures in the underground palace treasures for turnover.

But he didn't expect Fatty Zhu to start arranging the water transportation bonus for Caobang Sun Mingyan, which was beyond his expectation.

Caobang's annual dividends are worth a lot.

To increase income and reduce expenditure, the two are dependent on each other is the way, and blindly spending the Tibetan silver in the underground palace is not a long-term solution.

He was very pleased that Fatty Zhu was able to prepare for the water transportation bonus in advance.

Then he nodded in satisfaction, and praised: "I'm at ease if you handle the matter!"

Fatty Zhu was overjoyed when he heard the words, and he was honored, and then he was hit by endless flattery.

After singing the praises to Brother Guo, Fatty Zhu started to get into the topic, talking about the business of coming today.

He said: "Brother, it's not like that for you to live in an inn all day. How about I find you a good house in the city and use it as your residence?"

If Fatty Zhu didn't mention it, Guo Ye really forgot about it.

That's right, it's not a big deal to occupy other people's businessmen's inn all day long, and as long as Su Dingfang enters Chang'an to operate in a few days, he may be resident in Tuva City in the future.

At that time, the parents, younger sister, Xiuxiu and other family members will definitely be relocated here. After all, I am also the head of Tuva City, so what's the point if I don't have a mansion?

It's a pity that Yang Tai's General's Mansion was burned down to the ground, otherwise it would be an excellent mansion.

And the relics of the former Sui Dynasty are in the underground of the General's Mansion, so it's safe.

Otherwise, simply...

Immediately he made a decision, and said: "There is no need to look for a mansion anymore, you recruit craftsmen and peasants at a high price for me in the city, and build a new house on the site of Yang Tai's General's Mansion? And the treasure is right under the house, It's safe and secure."

After hearing this, Fatty Zhu replied: "Simply, I will buy the ruined house that was burned down nearby. If I want to build it, I will build a bigger Guo Mansion, how about it?"

Guo Ye pondered and said, yes, it will be more secure.Doesn't Dad like big houses?Then I will simply build a continuous group of houses and let the old man visit Grandma Liu to visit the Grand View Garden to make him happy.

Then, he nodded in agreement, and only made one request: "The materials used in the house should be the best, and the time to move into the new house should be the fastest. You don't need to save money for me. You know, it's not bad."

Fatty Zhu laughed, he is good at spending money.

Just when Fatty Zhu was about to leave, Guo Ye stopped him suddenly and asked, "Old Zhu, you will have to prepare another sum of money later, which is not a small amount."

Fatty Zhu was puzzled, he was already making preparations for what he needed to do, but he couldn't think of anything else that would require a large sum of money.

Guo Ye said with a serious expression on his face: "This time when the three thousand Longxi troops came out of Sichuan, nearly a thousand sons were lost in the two wars. Who is not a child raised by his father and mother, and whose life is not his life? So, you and Pang Feihu and others will count For the number and names of the brothers who died in battle, remember to give their family members a pension of 100 taels, tentatively. You have to handle this matter yourself, and order someone you trust to take the silver back to Longxi County in central Sichuan. This money for hard work must be sent to the families of the brothers who died in battle."

Pension money?Tentatively one hundred taels?
