An Muda took it. This wooden sign has Chinese characters on one side and Yan Rong characters on the other side, both of which are one, with eagle patterns around it. The carvings are very detailed, and the wood is not ordinary.
"In addition, I need to tell the leader that there are two kinds of business here. One kind of leader can directly enter the market and trade with others. The other is to drive the livestock into the pen of our market one day in advance. After the livestock are inspected, they will be sold at graded auctions."
An Muda is not a young stunned youth, he is a middle-aged leader, calm and cautious.Although he wants to act according to the rules he knows, he doesn't refuse to learn more, especially when it comes to trading with the Wei people. Since he is here, he just wants to win more rights for his tribe. Interested, he frowned and asked: "The first method is no different from the usual method, right? What does the second method mean?"
"Could the leader lend me a sheep so that I can demonstrate it to the leader once or twice."
It's just a sheep, even if the official cheats the sheep away, it's not a big loss, besides, is there such a stupid official?An Muda nodded: "My lord, you can choose whatever you want."
Gu Cijiu lifted the horse's belly, and the horse rushed out. Gu Cijiu directly bent down and picked up a bleating goat.The sheep wanted to struggle, but Gu Cijiu's strength was so great that the sheep couldn't move: "Leader An Muda, please follow me."
An Muda's eyes lit up, if this was a Yanrong man, he would praise him, but this is a Wei man, so he was wary of him.
However, that was a precaution on the battlefield, and now he chooses to trust him.
An Muda followed Gu Cijiu, and the two trotted their horses for about a quarter of an hour. He saw many square stables.Gu Cijiu put the sheep into one of the pens. It seemed a bit strange that there was only one sheep in such a big pen.
Someone drove the sheep with a long pole, and let it run forward until the sheep ran into a narrow passage.Someone came and held it down, checking its teeth, its hooves, its fur.
After the inspection, the man threaded a blue piece over the ear of the sheep, and proceeded to drive the sheep forward.
"What is that blue thing?"
"Dyed bamboo slices. These bamboo slices mark the male and female of the sheep, their age, and whether they are healthy or not. The blue ones are special-grade sheep. The sheep raised by Chief An Muda are really very good."
Praising the cattle and sheep of a Yanrong family is sometimes more satisfying than praising his son for his strength and daughter's beauty, and it makes a Yanrong person happy. What's more, this is not an exaggerated compliment, but a fact.The leader of An Muda smiled triumphantly: "If you are not a great Wei, I will marry my youngest daughter to you!"
System [huh?These people are also very simple. ] Gu Cijiu did not force him to go offline for too long last time.
Gu Cijiu [Simple talents are even more terrifying, just like children, what initiates their behavior is not human nature, but animal nature.But on the other hand, animal nature is the human nature of human beings, and more human nature is the result of being suppressed. 】
System [→_→host, do you like human nature or animal nature? 】
Gu Cijiu [System, do you feel too free again recently? 】
System [QAQ I am not!I don't!Brother help! 】
Duan Shaobo [Brother likes me. 】
Gu Cijiu【Junior brother, what ah~】
Duan Shaobo【Elder Brother~】
System: ... Junior brother QAQ, you have changed!
Duan Shaobo [Brother, there are also businessmen who heard that the Yanrong people are coming here. 】
Gu Cijiu [You are so courageous, I thought it was our double-yolk egg who had to do it again. 】
Duan Shaobo [I think so too, I dragged them, let the Yanrong people decide whether to smuggle or smuggle as soon as possible. 】
Gu Cijiu [Well, don't worry. 】
The sheep with pieces hanging from their ears entered the fence on the other side. Gu Cijiu took An Muda to the edge of the fence and explained to him further: "Boss An Muda, if you want to sell it here , all the premium rams you want to sell will be in this pen, and will be pulled away later.”
An Muda nodded: "What about the other sheep?"
"Sheep of different grades will also have different grades of price, and they will be auctioned in different venues."
"Auction... what is an auction?"
"It's a group of buyers sitting together and competing to bid. Whoever offers the highest price will take it away. However, we take a secret auction, that is, give a low price, and the buyer bids a price on the low price. , Whoever gives the highest price once it is opened will take it away."
"Oh..." An Muda nodded, "But I don't want your gold and silver, I want food, cloth, salt, and copper coins!"
"Copper coins are no good." Gu Cijiu shook his head resolutely, "There is also a market in the east, where you can buy other things you want, and the things there are also like sheep, divided into grades, such as salt, fine grains, etc. You can buy fine salt such as Baisha or the cheapest rock salt as thick as black stone. Of course, there is also a sale in the public house through Minglu. If the leader of An Muda finds it troublesome, he does not want to go to our auction , You can also go to the ordinary market on the other side to have face-to-face and goods-to-goods transactions with people.”
An Muda thought for a moment, then said: "Master Gu, can you let me think about it."
"Of course." Gu Cijiu responded with a smile, and politely sent An Muda back to his camp.
After An Muda went back, he told his son and brothers about the matter, and most of them felt that they should follow the old rules.
"Brother, it's not that we didn't do business with the Wei people in the past, and there should be little reason to do business with their court now. Instead of taking so many detours, it's better to follow the method we used to be familiar with. Sell out quickly , we should hurry home!"
"..." In fact, it was not An Muda's original intention to drive cattle and sheep this time. His tribe is not too big, but it is not too small. , There is no shortage of salt, and there is also a lot of rouge and cloth for wives and daughters.
He didn't need to be the first hero to rush to the wild wolf, but King Zuoxian asked them to come, let them see the sincerity of the Wei people.So they could only drive a quarter of the cattle and sheep in the tribe, otherwise they would die.
"I thought so too, but... this exchange market is doomed. If we don't understand the name of this exchange market, what happens when King Zuo Xian's other tribes come back, then The blame will all be on our heads."
"What does that brother mean..."
"Divide the cattle and sheep into two groups. One group is still doing as it was in the past, and the other group I will take to the public market of the Wei people."
An Muda's brother sighed heavily: "Oh!" In their view, the Wei people did this just to get more cattle and sheep from them.
Cattle and sheep going to the public market must enter the isolation pen one day in advance. Here, it is necessary to determine whether the cattle and sheep are healthy and safe before grading begins.
Therefore, the cattle and sheep in the public market have not yet started to be sold, but the private market has already sold out.An Muda's brothers returned to their camp with food, salt, cloth and porcelain, and everyone was laughing, obviously earning a lot.
An Muda also said at this time: "I knew that [-]% of the cattle and sheep should be taken and sold by you."
"Brother, don't worry, these Wei people are very honest when buying things, they are better than Zhao Duyan who has been doing business with us, and the price is very good!" His brother turned to persuade him at this time.
A few days later, it was the first time for merchants on the public market to participate in this kind of auction, but most of them were small and medium-sized merchants, and many of them were regulars at the farmers' fairs. , and began to gather towards Sanshan Pass. After all, the Yanrong people just came here with their cattle and sheep, but they had more to consider and operate.
The big merchants are still very repulsed by the imperial court's meddling, but many merchants who have experienced the farmers' fairs like this model very much.
Because the first hurdle of selection is done by the public company instead of them, and the public company has set the standard, which means that they can’t buy fake products. Even those who don’t like it just feel that the public company’s price is too high, which makes them earn less , but the risk is reduced.Even if it is really unlucky to buy a fake product that has passed the inspection of the government, if there is a contract in black and white, you can sue.
The government favors the cheaters?It may happen in the future, but in the current rising stage of Wei, the officials still cherish their feathers in all likelihood.The way of thinking of most officials is not "This liar is my people, I have to protect him", but "Cheating in my territory, doesn't that mean I have been cheated too?! It doesn't give me face ? Hit you!".
Big businessmen are enough to protect themselves and don't care about these, while small and medium businessmen prefer the protection of the government.
After discovering this, Duan Shaobo adjusted the auction to a group of five animals of the same kind in time, and the four groups started the auction at the same time.Although everyone was not familiar with the process at the beginning, it was a bit rushed, but it didn't take long for the process to be very fast and straightforward.
Gu Cijiu took An Muda with him the whole time. When An Muda got the exclusive bank note for the exchange, his expression was very ugly. Obviously, these light and fluffy papers made him feel insecure.So although the payment for the goods has not been fully received, Gu Cijiu took An Muda directly to the other side of the public market for grocery sales.
"With this paper, can I buy things?" An Muda knew it was not a good question to ask, but he couldn't help it.
"Yes, but of course you have to pay according to the price."
After getting the exact reply, An Muda was still a little skeptical, until he saw what Gu Cijiu said before, the refined salt like white sand, he only thought that Gu Cijiu was talking big, he had never eaten it before, I can't even imagine that when this salt enters the mouth, there is no weird taste, only delicious and clean saltiness!
"How do you sell this salt?!"
"It's six times the price of the rough salt on the side." Gu Cijiu and Duan Shaobo haven't brought out the sun-dried salt. This kind of salt is boiled after collecting the salt, and it is sold in the public market.Gu Cijiu hesitated between four times and five times, and finally said six times, just waiting for An Muda to bargain.
But An Muda looked "Oh! Why is it so cheap?", pressed all the bank notes in front of Gu Cijiu, and asked, "Buy! I will buy this kind of salt!"
"..." Gu Cijiu suddenly felt that he was at a loss, forget it, "Boss An Muda, you are the first guest here, so this price is only for you alone, after you go back, don't Talk to someone."
The next one who will be taken advantage of will directly quote him ten times the price!
"Brother!" An Muda could also guess that there was water in Gu Cijiu's words, but at this time he naturally wouldn't say Gu Cijiu was wrong, he would just laugh and pat him on the shoulder.
An Muda exchanged all the money for fine salt, although he regretted a little after seeing the exquisite silk and jewelry later, it would be great if he left some silver money and bought some for his daughter.But when he saw the delivery to him, a truck full of sacks after sacks of refined salt, the regret immediately dissipated—it would be a big deal to add a bag...half a bag of refined salt to his daughter's dowry , that must be more likable than anything else!
After An Muda sold all the cattle and sheep and exchanged the remaining money for refined salt, he set off with his brothers and sons.
But after only half a month away, he came back again, bringing more cattle and sheep, as well as his "friends".The mutual market finally became official and started ahead of schedule.
At the beginning, Yanrong people went to the public market to buy and sell refined salt, but soon, they found that the purchase price of merchants in the private market had dropped significantly, but the price on the formula side remained stable.The Yanrong people asked the merchants in the private market for an explanation. The merchants in the private market said, "If there are too many goods, they will naturally be worthless. If you don't want to, then go to the public market to sell them."
In fact, these merchants in the public market are right. This is the case in any business. The one who seizes the first opportunity has the best food, and the people who follow behind will be more or less inferior.And even now, the price they give is actually not low, and these Yanrong people have too much appetite.
They are not afraid that these people will go to the public market to sell cattle and sheep. The court gave a sum of money to the two young men who built the public market, but the amount of money is really not much, and they don’t only accept cattle and sheep The amount of goods purchased in the public market for groceries is astonishing. Although the merchants who go to the public market to buy cattle and sheep have financial resources, they are all small and medium-sized businessmen. Their financial resources are limited, and they can last for two days at most. People still have to come back!
But how did they know that Gu Cijiu needed a start-up capital at the very beginning, but what they did later was almost an empty-handed business.
The Yanrong people came to sell cattle and sheep, and what they got was banknotes. They used the banknotes to go to the grocery market to buy things.More than half of the groceries in the public market are goods that Duan Shaobo and Gu Cijiu sorted out after receiving them (this is what the initial capital is for). After the goods are bought, the bank notes are sent back.
The rest of the merchants who buy and sell goods in the grocery market can only accept cashier notes, which can be exchanged with the government for cash, or they can also take the bank notes to the livestock market to buy cattle and sheep.Later, merchants who came here to find the government to sell goods did not need cash, but directly asked for bank notes (for the mutual market), and then turned around with the bank notes to buy cattle and sheep.
Many of them don't know how to drive cattle and sheep, it doesn't matter, there is a big workshop for braised meat next to the market, and there is a tanning and leather workshop farther away, no matter beef, mutton, cowhide or sheepskin can be given You fix it.
The price of cattle and sheep in the public livestock market makes the private market traders on the other side feel that it is expensive, but in fact the price is still ridiculously cheap compared to the whole country.Of course, these merchants couldn't transport them to places that were too far away, but as long as they left Huzhou, they would immediately make some money.
If you are really reluctant to kill sheep and cattle, the government also provides transportation services (for a fee).However, this business is now limited to the route from Huzhou to Qiyang, and you have to manage it yourself if it is far away.
The Sanshan Pass is still far away from the real people's residences, but it didn't take long for the people to come here with their burdens and donkey carts to run small businesses.Duan Shaobo quickly arranged for these small business people to go to another market that had been planned long ago, and smaller bank notes came into being.
Naturally, the government has to collect taxes for this purchase and sale.The government also charges money for the rental of venues.Within half a month, the government saw only money in, but no money out.
At the beginning, the Jin servant from the household department felt pain when he saw the large sum of money being spent, but as the money in the treasury increased, he was only amazed.
"A hero is a boy!" Mr. Jin laughed. He lost six catties when he went out for money. Now that he has a lot of money, he has regained eight catties—mainly because he gained weight at the snack fair. of.
Duan Shaobo smiled: "Master Jin, we have too many cattle, sheep, and horses here, do you think we should send a batch back to the imperial court?"
Mr. Jin was stunned for a moment: "Why did you still give it to the court... You also bought cattle and sheep?!"
Duan Shaobo blinked innocently: "The best ones are naturally reserved for His Majesty."
Master Jin also blinked his little eyes: "...a loyal minister."
But this Mr. Jin is also a wonderful person, if the silver in the treasury can't be put down, he will send it back along with the cows, sheep, and horses, right?And don't deliberately go to a memorial in advance, it's like asking for credit, it's too unreserved, and the memorial should go with the person who gave the livestock and the money.
Half a month later, Taizong was sighing.
"Your Majesty, take a sip of herbal tea to dissipate your anger." The queen handed Taizong a cup of tea.
"Oh..." Taizong sighed again, "I don't want to drink."
The queen sighed again, walked behind Taizong, and rubbed his forehead for him.
Taizong felt a little more comfortable, and closed his eyes: "Zitong... tell me, I have the greatest strength and done the most things about the exchange market! Even the money for opening the exchange market comes from my private treasury. Halfway through, but when things are done and money is made, I can only watch!"
Taizong opened his eyes angrily, and the queen could see that Taizong's eyes were red.
"Your Majesty! The Secretary of the Household Department, Jin Youcai, will play the book." The eunuch outside said suddenly.
"Jin Youcai... Jin Youcai?! Don't look at it!" Taizong's first reaction was that the exchange market asked him for money, and his eyes became even redder——Okay, everyone is holding money in his arms, but I It is to keep going bankrupt.
The eunuch has also served Taizong for many years, and he can feel Taizong's veins very well. He knows that Taizong is awkward or something, so he didn't hold back after Taizong's reprimand, but continued in a very aggrieved voice: "Your Majesty ...If you don't read the memorial, you have to ask first, where do you put this thing?"
"Something? What?"
"As for tens of thousands of taels of silver, slaves and maidservants dare not tamper with it, and there are tens of thousands of cattle, sheep and horses outside Cheng, all of which belong to His Majesty."
Taizong rushed out immediately: "...My?!"
With tens of thousands of cattle, sheep and horses, the big families in Qiyang are all guessing which family's harvest it is, and at the same time they all feel that there is something wrong with this family. If you have a lot of harvest, you can just go to your own territory.Show off on purpose to make people jealous?Then guess and guess, which one does not know.
It turned out that Taizong felt that it would not belong to their royal family anyway, so he opened his heart and became jealous. Who knew... it really belonged to his family? !
"That's right, Your Majesty's. I don't know what's going on with the specific slaves, but Lord Jin's memorial must have written everything clearly."
Taizong immediately took the memorial and watched it from the beginning to the end as quickly as possible, the empress saw that Taizong's eyes were redder, but the corners of his mouth reached to the ears: "Hehe, my god, hehe, hahahahahahaha——!! !!"
As a generation of monarchs, it's not that Taizong has never seen good things, let alone lack of money, but!Ever since he ascended the throne, it's rare for him to hug something in his arms so openly.
Even if he won a battle with outsiders and got the spoils, the general who broke the city had to eat it first before he could see the remaining bits and pieces, and most of them had to be rewarded to the soldiers who participated in the battle.tax?It was for the state treasury, and someone would talk about it if he drank two extra sips of wine.
He stuffed things into his inner treasury, and he had to touch it secretly, but the old guys from various departments were still staring at his weak family property, trying to make him bleed, this time...
"No!" Someone would still stare at him and make him bleed, "Quickly announce the prince into the palace!"
It's time for the battle between the emperor and the ministers again!
The emperor's goal - to keep my own property!
The goal of the minister-is it the king's land under the whole world, and the king's minister on the shore of the land.The world is yours, and you just put money from your left pocket into your right pocket when you take out these cattle, sheep and horses!
The emperor's second goal - to continue to make money!
The second goal of the minister - a copy of the person who participates in the trade market!They are competing with the people for profit!
Of course, Taizong did not fight alone, there were also ministers and nobles who stood with him, and Qiyang became a mess again.
On the exchange market side, troublemakers began to appear.
Originally thought that the government could not last long, but the livestock and silver taels sent back were obviously a slap in the face. These should be the silver taels in their pockets!
——Jin Youcai, Gu Cijiu and Duan Shaobo are really treacherous ministers!It's so flattering!They have to be taught a lesson.
"In addition, I need to tell the leader that there are two kinds of business here. One kind of leader can directly enter the market and trade with others. The other is to drive the livestock into the pen of our market one day in advance. After the livestock are inspected, they will be sold at graded auctions."

At the beginning, Yanrong people went to the public market to buy and sell refined salt, but soon, they found that the purchase price of merchants in the private market had dropped significantly, but the price on the formula side remained stable.The Yanrong people asked the merchants in the private market for an explanation. The merchants in the private market said, "If there are too many goods, they will naturally be worthless. If you don't want to, then go to the public market to sell them."
In fact, these merchants in the public market are right. This is the case in any business. The one who seizes the first opportunity has the best food, and the people who follow behind will be more or less inferior.And even now, the price they give is actually not low, and these Yanrong people have too much appetite.
They are not afraid that these people will go to the public market to sell cattle and sheep. The court gave a sum of money to the two young men who built the public market, but the amount of money is really not much, and they don’t only accept cattle and sheep The amount of goods purchased in the public market for groceries is astonishing. Although the merchants who go to the public market to buy cattle and sheep have financial resources, they are all small and medium-sized businessmen. Their financial resources are limited, and they can last for two days at most. People still have to come back!
But how did they know that Gu Cijiu needed a start-up capital at the very beginning, but what they did later was almost an empty-handed business.
The Yanrong people came to sell cattle and sheep, and what they got was banknotes. They used the banknotes to go to the grocery market to buy things.More than half of the groceries in the public market are goods that Duan Shaobo and Gu Cijiu sorted out after receiving them (this is what the initial capital is for). After the goods are bought, the bank notes are sent back.
The rest of the merchants who buy and sell goods in the grocery market can only accept cashier notes, which can be exchanged with the government for cash, or they can also take the bank notes to the livestock market to buy cattle and sheep.Later, merchants who came here to find the government to sell goods did not need cash, but directly asked for bank notes (for the mutual market), and then turned around with the bank notes to buy cattle and sheep.
Many of them don't know how to drive cattle and sheep, it doesn't matter, there is a big workshop for braised meat next to the market, and there is a tanning and leather workshop farther away, no matter beef, mutton, cowhide or sheepskin can be given You fix it.
The price of cattle and sheep in the public livestock market makes the private market traders on the other side feel that it is expensive, but in fact the price is still ridiculously cheap compared to the whole country.Of course, these merchants couldn't transport them to places that were too far away, but as long as they left Huzhou, they would immediately make some money.
If you are really reluctant to kill sheep and cattle, the government also provides transportation services (for a fee).However, this business is now limited to the route from Huzhou to Qiyang, and you have to manage it yourself if it is far away.
The Sanshan Pass is still far away from the real people's residences, but it didn't take long for the people to come here with their burdens and donkey carts to run small businesses.Duan Shaobo quickly arranged for these small business people to go to another market that had been planned long ago, and smaller bank notes came into being.
Naturally, the government has to collect taxes for this purchase and sale.The government also charges money for the rental of venues.Within half a month, the government saw only money in, but no money out.
At the beginning, the Jin servant from the household department felt pain when he saw the large sum of money being spent, but as the money in the treasury increased, he was only amazed.
"A hero is a boy!" Mr. Jin laughed. He lost six catties when he went out for money. Now that he has a lot of money, he has regained eight catties—mainly because he gained weight at the snack fair. of.
Duan Shaobo smiled: "Master Jin, we have too many cattle, sheep, and horses here, do you think we should send a batch back to the imperial court?"
Mr. Jin was stunned for a moment: "Why did you still give it to the court... You also bought cattle and sheep?!"
Duan Shaobo blinked innocently: "The best ones are naturally reserved for His Majesty."
Master Jin also blinked his little eyes: "...a loyal minister."
But this Mr. Jin is also a wonderful person, if the silver in the treasury can't be put down, he will send it back along with the cows, sheep, and horses, right?And don't deliberately go to a memorial in advance, it's like asking for credit, it's too unreserved, and the memorial should go with the person who gave the livestock and the money.
Half a month later, Taizong was sighing.
"Your Majesty, take a sip of herbal tea to dissipate your anger." The queen handed Taizong a cup of tea.
"Oh..." Taizong sighed again, "I don't want to drink."
The queen sighed again, walked behind Taizong, and rubbed his forehead for him.
Taizong felt a little more comfortable, and closed his eyes: "Zitong... tell me, I have the greatest strength and done the most things about the exchange market! Even the money for opening the exchange market comes from my private treasury. Halfway through, but when things are done and money is made, I can only watch!"
Taizong opened his eyes angrily, and the queen could see that Taizong's eyes were red.
"Your Majesty! The Secretary of the Household Department, Jin Youcai, will play the book." The eunuch outside said suddenly.
"Jin Youcai... Jin Youcai?! Don't look at it!" Taizong's first reaction was that the exchange market asked him for money, and his eyes became even redder——Okay, everyone is holding money in his arms, but I It is to keep going bankrupt.
The eunuch has also served Taizong for many years, and he can feel Taizong's veins very well. He knows that Taizong is awkward or something, so he didn't hold back after Taizong's reprimand, but continued in a very aggrieved voice: "Your Majesty ...If you don't read the memorial, you have to ask first, where do you put this thing?"
"Something? What?"
"As for tens of thousands of taels of silver, slaves and maidservants dare not tamper with it, and there are tens of thousands of cattle, sheep and horses outside Cheng, all of which belong to His Majesty."
Taizong rushed out immediately: "...My?!"
With tens of thousands of cattle, sheep and horses, the big families in Qiyang are all guessing which family's harvest it is, and at the same time they all feel that there is something wrong with this family. If you have a lot of harvest, you can just go to your own territory.Show off on purpose to make people jealous?Then guess and guess, which one does not know.
It turned out that Taizong felt that it would not belong to their royal family anyway, so he opened his heart and became jealous. Who knew... it really belonged to his family? !
"That's right, Your Majesty's. I don't know what's going on with the specific slaves, but Lord Jin's memorial must have written everything clearly."
Taizong immediately took the memorial and watched it from the beginning to the end as quickly as possible, the empress saw that Taizong's eyes were redder, but the corners of his mouth reached to the ears: "Hehe, my god, hehe, hahahahahahaha——!! !!"
As a generation of monarchs, it's not that Taizong has never seen good things, let alone lack of money, but!Ever since he ascended the throne, it's rare for him to hug something in his arms so openly.
Even if he won a battle with outsiders and got the spoils, the general who broke the city had to eat it first before he could see the remaining bits and pieces, and most of them had to be rewarded to the soldiers who participated in the battle.tax?It was for the state treasury, and someone would talk about it if he drank two extra sips of wine.
He stuffed things into his inner treasury, and he had to touch it secretly, but the old guys from various departments were still staring at his weak family property, trying to make him bleed, this time...
"No!" Someone would still stare at him and make him bleed, "Quickly announce the prince into the palace!"
It's time for the battle between the emperor and the ministers again!
The emperor's goal - to keep my own property!
The goal of the minister-is it the king's land under the whole world, and the king's minister on the shore of the land.The world is yours, and you just put money from your left pocket into your right pocket when you take out these cattle, sheep and horses!
The emperor's second goal - to continue to make money!
The second goal of the minister - a copy of the person who participates in the trade market!They are competing with the people for profit!
Of course, Taizong did not fight alone, there were also ministers and nobles who stood with him, and Qiyang became a mess again.
On the exchange market side, troublemakers began to appear.
Originally thought that the government could not last long, but the livestock and silver taels sent back were obviously a slap in the face. These should be the silver taels in their pockets!
——Jin Youcai, Gu Cijiu and Duan Shaobo are really treacherous ministers!It's so flattering!They have to be taught a lesson.
