Fu Tang

Shi Xueting didn't avoid Huayue at all, Huayue thought for a long time and felt that she hadn't heard of any favorite person in her family's Shangfeng, after thinking about it, she thought it was probably used to confuse the enemy.

The more Hua Yue thought about it, the more this happened. Most people would only think it was lovers telling each other when they saw such a letter. How could they possibly think that they were using this letter to convey news?

At the same time, he couldn't help secretly admiring that the national teacher is worthy of being a national teacher, and such a method can be thought of.

Of course, the reason why he didn't misunderstand was mainly because who would write a love letter so generously in front of his subordinates?The national teacher is a monk, if it gets out, it will be a stain!

After Shi Xueting finished writing, he packed the letter and said: "Send someone to send it to Senior Brother Xuehe."

Hua Yue replied with a serious face: "Yes!"

Giving it to Shi Xuehe instead of anyone else is more evidence that the letter was written in coded language. After all, Shi Xuehe is now managing the Intelligence Department.

Seeing Hua Yue's expression, Shi Xueting knew that he had misunderstood, but this was exactly the effect he wanted. What he is doing now is too sensitive, and it is not appropriate to create a gap with his subordinates. It is easy to throw everyone out just to write a love letter. Makes people think too much.

On the contrary, they are so generous that they will always find a reasonable explanation for themselves.

After Huayue went out, Shi Xueting couldn't help imagining what Li Congjia's expression would be when he saw the letter, was it happy, pleasantly surprised or surprised?

In fact, Li Congjia was expressionless when he saw this letter!

Because he no longer knew what expression to put on to face this letter. At the beginning, when he saw Shi Xueting writing love poems, he was quite happy. But when we are apart, writing letters to each other will become extremely nasty.

However, he really didn't know what to do to respond to the following news. Apart from knowing that Shi Xueting missed him, what he wanted to know most was whether the other party was safe in the future. After all, since a letter came, it meant that Shi Xueting was temporarily No problem, but the situation in Tubo is tense, and no one can say what will happen tomorrow, but he can analyze some of the next things through the situation in the letter.

But what did he see?

Shi Xueting walked away for more than half a month, and turned around and earned him 3000 taels of silver?Brother, are you in business?

And why do you need so much grain and salt?Those who don't know think you are supporting the enemy, okay?

Li Congjia felt a little tired, and felt that he was not sure about Shi Xueting's tricks. Before, he planned to use this matter to educate Li Zhongyu, don't underestimate the work of the intelligence department, but now...he feels that he has been devolved into In the ditch, if you continue to analyze with Li Zhongyu, you may end up being slapped in the face.

So he decided... to let it go, give Shi Xueting what he wants, anyway, his business has a lot of stuff, so he directly gave Shi Xueting the warrant, letting him do whatever he wants.

He is not afraid of spending money, he only hopes that Shi Xueting can come back safely.

Li Zhongyu didn't see the letter, but he knew that Shi Xueting had heard the news, so he ran over excitedly to ask about Li Congjia's situation, he really wanted to know if he guessed right.

Li Congjia looked at Li Zhongyu with a smile and said: "The first stop of the national teacher is not Tubo, but Nibhara."

Li Zhongyu was taken aback at the time: "Ni Po Luo? Why is it there?"

In their plan, the country of Nibera is not within the scope of conquest at all, or this country is not worth their effort.

Li Congjia didn't answer, but said again: "Then he went to Yaze."

Li Zhongyu was a little confused. In his guess, it was impossible for Shi Xueting to choose King Yaze, but the reality gave him a stick, and Shi Xueting chose there.

However, he recovered quickly, without any anger of being slapped in the face, but said seriously: "In this way, the goal of the national teacher from the beginning is Yaze. From the Tang border to Yaze, it is almost necessary to cross the entire Tubo, and it is safer to walk from the outside, um, the national teacher went to Niboluo... also to hide his identity?"

Speaking of this, Li Zhongyu felt very strange, even if they came from Niboluo to Tubo, but Shi Xueting and the others are from Tang Dynasty, if they don't know the language there, how can they pretend to be Tubo people?

When he asked this question, Li Congjia shook his head: "Because it's not important."

Li Zhongyu looked at his father with some puzzlement, and Li Congjia asked: "If you are King Yaze, living in a corner, watching a grand banquet is about to be held, and you hardly have any strength to resist, at this time, would you mind?" Who came to help? As long as it is not an undercover agent from several other tribes, then everyone is the same."

Li Zhongyu was stunned, indeed, what kind of identity does he care about when he has nowhere to go?Anyway, they are all using each other, and to be more extreme, King Yaze may want to kill Shi Xueting after using them, so that he has no loss.

Li Zhongyu was a little nervous: "Isn't the safety of the national teacher..."

Li Congjia said with a smile: "This is what I want to tell you today. As long as you choose someone and think he is qualified for this matter, then you must support him unswervingly. If that person fails to do it, then it can only show you You have a bad vision, let unsuitable people do unsuitable things, understand?"

Li Zhongyu nodded his head half-understood, thought for a long time before asking: "But how do you know people well?"

Li Congjia said after a while: "Knowing people and being good at appointment is easy to say, but it is difficult to do. You just need to know not to listen to what the people say, but also to see how they do it and how they do it. This is a science. Even I can't stand it."

Li Zhongyu tried hard to write down that he didn't believe what Li Congjia said was incomprehensible, he was not young now, and he already knew very well how his father got up from the desperate situation to where he is now.

Among other things, Li Congjia excavated more than half of the civil and military affairs of the current Manchu Dynasty. Some of them may not have been well-known at the beginning, and some were even enemies. It has indeed become the mainstay of the court.

Li Zhongyu felt that he was probably inferior to his father in terms of knowing people.

After Li Zhongyu's routine study was over, he began to chat with Li Congjia, trying to improve their relationship.

He said with a smile: "My cousin's marriage has finally been settled, and he said that he wants to ask Dad to pick his name for him."

Li Congjia asked, "Which young lady did you choose?"

Li Zhongyu was quite emotional: "At the end of the round, he still wants to marry the little lady of Fan Zhu's country."

Li Congjia asked with a smile: "Didn't he not want to marry before? It is said that the little lady also refused to marry. Why did it change?"

"I changed one. There are quite a few young ladies of the right age in Fan Zhuguo's country. The previous one was the daughter of the eldest son of Fan Zhuguo. Naturally, she couldn't bear this anger because she was spoiled since she was a child. Later, she was replaced by the daughter of the second son of Fan Zhuguo."

Li Congjia was quite speechless, this kind of thing is quite cheating, but the Fan family does not have any titles, the identity of the eldest son and the second son are not much different, and even Li Congjia feels that the second son is more flexible than the eldest son and has no lack of bottom line, no matter what This little lady is worthy of the status of the future princess.

"Go and tell Ah Cheng that when he gets married, I'll give him a character."

Li Zhongyu nodded, hesitated for a while, and said after a while: "That... Father... I have seen that little lady..."

When Li Congjia heard this, his heart skipped a beat: "Have you seen that little lady? Why?"

Could it be that this kid fell in love with his cousin's fiancée?How can this work?

Seeing Li Congjia's suspicious gaze, Li Zhongyu immediately knew that his father had misunderstood, and quickly said: "I just want to say that the little lady's eyebrows and eyes are somewhat similar to A Rong."

Li Congjia was slightly taken aback, and understood that Li Zhongyu wanted to say that Li Sheng couldn't marry Ah Rong, so he planned to settle for the next best thing and find a substitute.

For a while, he didn't know who to sympathize with, but things like feelings...he couldn't force Ah Rong to marry Li Sheng, could he?To him, Ah Rong can be regarded as a great hero, so he can't insult the hero like this.

As soon as he thought about it, he started to worry about Li Zhongyu again, and couldn't help asking: "How are you and Miss Chai?"

The shyness that a young man of this age should have appeared on Li Zhongyu's face: "It's pretty good."

Well, it doesn't look like they have a bad relationship, so Li Congjia is relieved. If the relationship between the prince and princess is not good, the impact will be great. At that time, Li Congjia will still have to think about how to reduce Zhao Kuangyin's power.

Otherwise, the concubine will hate the prince later, what will she do if she wants to kill the emperor after she becomes a queen and gives birth to a son?Backed by the Zhao family, is the queen afraid that the situation will not be stabilized?

The experience after time travel told Li Congjia not to underestimate women, especially aristocratic women.

Li Congjia blasted Li Zhongyu away, told him to do what he should do, and turned around to write back to Shi Xueting.

Of course, there is Shi Xueting at the beginning, and the letter written by Li Congjia doesn't have to be too serious, anyway, it's just how it is.

So when Shi Xueting received the letter, he opened it, glanced at it, and put it in his arms. He could write the letter in front of his subordinates, but he didn't want his subordinates to see the letter written by Li Congjia.

Hua Yue didn't notice his little action, but asked in confusion: "What is this token...?"

He can also be regarded as an official official of the court, but he has never seen this kind of token, and it doesn't feel like an official token of the court.

Shi Xueting asked: "Do you know about the biggest firm in Datang?"

Hua Yue smiled and said, "Of course I know."

It's no secret that the emperor controls the largest commercial firm in the Tang Dynasty. Of course, some ministers are dissatisfied and feel that the emperor should not do this. It was too late, and the ministers had no way to dissuade Li Congjia from any aspect.

Of course, the most important thing is that they are afraid that after dissuading them, the business will close the door to their homes and prevent them from buying things, and the loss will be great. Although this business is not the only one in the country, it is right to find the most precious things there!

Hua Yue didn't understand why Shi Xueting suddenly asked this question, and was a little confused for a while.

Shi Xueting played with the token and said: "With this, I can mobilize all the supplies of the business."

Huayue: =mouth=!

He thought that this token might have other functions, but he didn't expect to have such great power, the right to mobilize all the materials of Datang's largest commercial firm... If Shi Xueting is willing, he can even directly recruit troops in Tubo, so there is no need to worry at all. I can't afford to keep these soldiers and horses!

To be honest, this is a very dangerous behavior. Hua Yue felt that if it was her, she would definitely not give others such great power. It felt as if she had handed over her wealth and life.

But this also made Hua Yue very relieved. At least this aspect proved that the emperor attached great importance to the national teachers. Even if they encountered danger here, the emperor would not let them go.

After Hua Yue was surprised, she came back rationally, couldn't help but licked her lips and said, "In this case, our success rate in Yaze will be higher, maybe we can choose someone else!"

Because they didn't have enough hole cards before, they chose King Yaze. Now that they have this token, they may be able to choose King Lhasa, and even King Yalong Jue'a will not turn a blind eye to them!

But Shi Xueting said: "King Yaze is very good, I don't intend to replace him."

Hua Yue looked at Shi Xueting with some doubts: "King Yaze's power is too small, so he can be absorbed easily."

Shi Xueting simply said: "But this is the closest to the border, we can retreat to Niboluo at any time."

Hua Yue was suddenly stunned, and then a little ashamed, he forgot that Shi Xueting had taught them to be prepared for danger in times of peace.

In fact, Shi Xueting stayed here not because he was prepared for danger in times of peace. If he felt that he could do something, he could ignore any dangers. Where did you fear any danger?

The main reason why he stayed here was that King Yaze had the least power, but he was also the safest.

Now there are only a few big tribes in Tubo, King Lhasa and King Yalong Jue'a each have different supporters, and now it may be only King Yaze who has not chosen to stand in line, and it is precisely because of this that the plateau is in this period of time. maintain balance.

Because King Lhasa and King Yalong Jue both want to annex King Yaze's territory, but no matter who among them makes a move, the other person will definitely take advantage of it in the end.

Although King Yaze is not powerful enough, he is indeed a hard bone. If he wants to gnaw off this hard bone, both King Lhasa and King Yalongjue will have to pay a big price, which may hurt his vitality. At that time, if they face the attack of another powerful tribe, they have no chance of winning at all!

Therefore, before King Lhasa and King Yalong Jue'a decide the winner, none of them can touch King Yaze. Anyway, King Yaze is weak. If he can recover, he can continue to fight King Yaze.

They didn't even worry that King Yaze would take advantage of it.

Shi Xueting always feels that King Yaze understands the situation well, so he is still developing the tribe at a leisurely pace, and even has the mood to choose which son to be the heir.

The third prince Suo Lang came to drink with Shi Xueting again. These days, Shi Xueting stayed here, and he came to see Shi Xueting when he was free, but he just ate and drank and never mentioned anything about Yaze.

Suo Lang is not in a hurry, he urgently needs a supporter who is not high in status, but has strength or financial resources, but he is also worried that this person has ulterior motives, so he wants to delay it. If this person really has a purpose, such a long time If time drags on, there will definitely be a flaw. At that time, he will be able to take the person down and swallow the other party's property.

But not now, the reputation of Tubo is not good, and all the merchants who are willing to come and go are desperadoes. If you kill a merchant who has no resistance for no reason, I am afraid that other merchants will treat Yaze in the future. Will keep it at arm's length.

Suo Lang is only three or four years older than Li Zhongyu, and in the eyes of today's Shi Xueting, he can be regarded as young, so young that no matter what tricks he plays, Shi Xueting can spot it at a glance and find a corresponding solution.

Suo Lang wants to pass time to test him, Shi Xueting is not in a hurry, or not at all, after all, he still wants to get it done as soon as possible and return to Datang earlier, but he is more calm, if he is more patient, Suo Lang Definitely not Shi Xueting's opponent.

What's more, Shi Xueting was not idle either. He directly established a business base here in Tubo. Over time, the business here is not very developed.

After Shi Xueting stayed here, he began to dispatch a large amount of supplies here. Of course, this large amount is for ordinary businessmen. He has a good sense of proportion. This amount can attract the attention of many people, but it will not make King Yaze feel suspicious .

And what he wanted to attract was the attention of the eldest prince and the second prince. The two princes did notice him. However, Shi Xueting originally thought that they would have to wait and see for a while. Come and touch him.

Shi Xueting directly sent someone to send a heavy gift to Danba Dorji's mansion, so Danba Dorji invited him to attend the banquet at the prince's mansion as a matter of course.

After Shi Xueting went there, he found that although it was said to be a banquet, the people present were basically low-level officials under Danba Duoji, and the whole banquet was just for him.

This kind of banquet has both advantages and disadvantages. The advantage is that the more it is like this, the more likely things will be negotiated, which also means that Danba Dorji is also very anxious.

The downside is... this might be a miniature version of the Hongmen Banquet.

Shi Xueting walked over calmly, Danba Dorji was sitting on his chair covered with tiger skin, originally wanted to put pressure on Shi Xueting, but when he saw Shi Xueting, he was actually the first to be punished by Shi Xueting Impressed by the style.

Under the guidance of his attendants, Shi Xueting sat under Danba Dorji's hands. Danba Dorji looked at him for a while before saying: "Your Excellency is very handsome, you don't look like a businessman."

Shi Xueting didn't deliberately hide himself, he already knew that it would arouse suspicion, so he was very calm: "The eldest prince laughed at him, but his family is in trouble, so he has to make a living by this."

Shi Xueting said it simply, but the simpler it is, the more room for imagination.

Danba Dorji suddenly asked: "Are you from Tang Dynasty?"

Shi Xueting shook his head, then nodded and said, "My mother is from Tang Dynasty, and my father is from Niboluo."

Danba Dorji was still skeptical, and just said: "You don't look like your family has fallen."

Shi Xueting said with a smile: "There is also a comparison between the downfall of a family. Compared with ordinary people, I certainly don't count, but compared to myself, it is not as good as before."

Danba Dorji nodded and asked casually: "I heard that you have a good relationship with the third prince Suolang?"

Shi Xueting replied: "I have a good relationship with my clients."

Danba Dorji was thoughtful, but did not continue to ask, but changed the subject: "I heard that you can get a lot of things. I want some things. You can make an offer."

But Shi Xueting didn't agree immediately, instead he asked: "What does the eldest prince want? Some things have to be said first, there are many things I can't get."

Danba Dorji looked at Shi Xueting with a half-smile and asked, "How do you know that you can't get what I want?"

Shi Xueting shook his head: "I don't know anything, it's just my habit. As a businessman, no matter how good he is, there are still things he can't touch. I don't want to delay the boss's business because of my incompetence."

This sentence made Danba Dorji look at Shi Xueting with admiration, he smiled and said: "It's okay, it's okay, can you get it, I didn't say how do you know?"

Shi Xueting nodded: "The eldest prince, please explain."

Danba Dorji waved his hand and said, "I only drink tonight, don't talk about it, someone will come to you tomorrow."

Shi Xueting's evaluation of the Eldest Prince dropped slightly, and they took the initiative to find him, and even tried to make such falsehoods to make him uneasy. The Eldest Prince's methods are not very good.

If it was Li Congjia, perhaps Li Congjia would not have sent anyone to contact Shi Xueting from the very beginning.

Shi Xueting was thinking about Li Congjia, and he was very perfunctory with the eldest prince, but in the eyes of the eldest prince, it seemed that the businessman, who had seemed very calm before, was confused by him and was getting restless.

Although Danba Dorji said that someone would come to contact Shi Xueting soon, but this wait was three or four days. Shi Xueting knew that Danba Dorji wanted to make himself anxious and thus take the initiative, but he was the least anxious, because When the second prince also comes to contact him, the eldest prince will always be unable to sit still.

But it turned out that Danba Dorji didn't have that much patience. On the afternoon of the fourth day, his people came to Shi Xueting, gave Shi Xueting a list and asked, "Can I buy all the things above?"

Shi Xueting glanced at them, and found that they were all things that were very common in Tang Dynasty but very precious in Tubo, so he nodded directly and said, "No problem."

The eldest prince's entourage asked: "Is there any problem with the quantity?"

Shi Xueting nodded, but it made the attendant feel a little confused about Shi Xueting's background. He thought about the eldest prince's entrustment, and finally gritted his teeth and came over and asked: "In this case, don't you know something more precious? Is there too?"

Shi Xueting asked: "What is more precious? It depends on how precious it is."

The entourage whispered: "The glass Buddha statue."

Shi Xueting's heart skipped a beat: What does the eldest prince know?
