As a salted fish, I was forced to become the teacher of all ages

"Brother Er, I miss you so much after a long time! Is your injury better? I haven't had time to come and have a look since I'm on business. I just took some time today... Tsk, why is it so cold in this room?" After Hua Manlou entered the door Er Situmu didn't have time to react at all, but he turned around and ordered after seeing his greetings: "Come on, bring in the gift I brought to Brother E and pack it up! How can it be so cold in the ward?"

Several youths from the Xuanwu Guards carried a set of stoves made in Xishan into the room, and set them up without paying any attention to the eyes of others, while Hua Manlou sat beside Erstumu's sick bed, with a sob on his face. : "Brother Er, although you and I have fought, it was our own business. I don't have any grievances with you, right? But when I came to visit, you let your people block the door and refused to let you in. Is this too much?"

Er Situmu was confused by Hua Manlou's operation, and he nodded for a long time, but then said with a dark face: "Mr. Hua Qian, did you come here today to find fault? Don't you think I lost to You are afraid of you! And I am not called Brother E!"

Hua Manlou said with a smile: "Look at you, what am I looking for? The so-called hero cherishes the hero. I can see the bravery of Brother E. Although I lost that day, if you didn't get shot and rushed to me In front of you, then it's time for Brother E to visit me today, right?"

Estumu's face turned pale, but then he said with a dark face: "Again, my surname is not E! Anyway, I have read it. If there is nothing wrong, please come back, Mr. Hua Qian, I am recuperating!"

Hua Manlou clicked his tongue and said, "Tsk, why don't you just take a look at a doctor? I still have a lot to say to brother E!"

"My surname is not Er!"

"Brother Er, why are you so polite?"

"This is not polite!"

"All in all, don't care about these small details. Brother Er, you came all the way to Dazhao, I'm afraid it's not for gaining insights to see our Dazhao's customs and places of interest, or to be shot twice?"

"I...cough...cough..."

"I guess, you are here for the mutual market, right?" Hua Manlou said cheerfully when Erstum was about to explode, "That's just right, my father sent back the news yesterday that the Tatars also wanted to make peace with Datar Zhao Hushi, guess that the DPRK and China will talk about this soon..."

Er Situm calmed down instantly: "What did you say?"

Hua Manlou smiled and said: "Huashi, and Tatar. Brother E should know, right? My father is the official envoy of Tatar, and the purpose of going to Tatar this time is to hold accountable. And Tatar was defeated by me in the Battle of Datong. Zhao was beaten to the brim, so the Tatars were terrified of being beaten, and they said they would compensate [-] cattle and sheep, and [-] war horses, but the premise is that Da Zhao opened up the exchange market so that they can survive..."

Hua Manlou's words can be said to be both true and false, after all...

Guessing that Uncle Huai'an hasn't reached Tuotuobuhua's place at all, how could there be any real news?

But Estumu believed it. After all, after Tuotuobuhua lost the war, he had to face the pressure from various tribes on the one hand, and on the other hand, Da Zhao's accountability was not so easy to fool. In his opinion, it is not impossible for Da Zhao, who has sharp firearms, to really grit his teeth and want to destroy the country and genocide of the Tatars, so the matter of compensation is really logical.

It's just that if Dazhao and Tatar trade with each other, what's the matter with them?They are all the same and can only provide cattle, sheep and war horses. The road to Tatar is closer, but their Wala has to send things to Hamiwei first. This distance...

By the way, Hamiwei is the place where Huamanlou's previous life was rich in Hami melons...

Moreover, after Da Zhao opened the trade market to Tatar, Tatar's life will be better, so is there any way for Oala to survive?

So Er Situm immediately put on a righteous face and said: "Mr. Hua Qian, you just said that heroes cherish heroes, and I also deeply agree. So I remind you based on this, Tatars have no reputation. The mutual market is no different from seeking skin from a tiger, compared to our Wala, we are still very easy to talk..."

Hua Manlou smiled and said: "Brother Er, it's useless for you to tell me this, you have to tell those people in the court, I'm a thousand households in Xishan...do you think I can decide these important matters? Today, it's the same for me. What do you think... Well, I want to make friends with Brother E, so I came here to let you know, because I think if you trade with Tatars, the situation of your Wala will be very bad."

Er Situm was taken aback, then looked up to the sky and sighed: "Changshengtian... really doesn't want us to live in Wala? You are right, if you trade with the Tatars, we... are afraid that the country will perish."

Hua Manlou said cheerfully, "Brother E is really open-minded."

"Things have come to this point, it is not difficult to see our predicament with Hua Qianzong's intelligence, what's the use of lying?" Er Situm laughed at himself: "Tomorrow I will ask your Khan to see you again, please open the exchange market, If it doesn't work, then I will go back to the grassland, even if I die, I will die on the grassland!"

Hua Manlou patted him on the shoulder: "Brother Er is a man!"

Er Situmu was touched by the wound, and immediately grinned in pain, but before he could yell and scold, Hua Manlou said again: "But...why can't you change the method? Change the method, maybe Is it done?"

Estumu said in astonishment, "What method?"

(Oh, I made up for it today! Chinese New Year is much busier than usual, anyway, let’s start with an extended chapter, and maybe there will be another chapter after waking up in the early morning~By the way, I wish you all a happy Valentine’s Day~ I wish you all the best this year Can find a partner~ If you have a partner, don’t fight or quarrel, the above~)

153. The road is getting narrow, Brother E!

Seeing that Er Situmu took the bait, Hua Manlou was not in a hurry to give the answer directly, but said earnestly and kindly: "Let's not talk about the method first, in Brother E's opinion, if you want to trade with Da Zhao, you can go to the court. Who will be for it, and who will be against it?"

Er Situm was stunned: "Who...this..."

Hua Manlou said contemptuously: "You don't even know who you should deal with, so you come to the exchange market? In my opinion, it's definitely not that your longevity god doesn't protect you, but that brother E is too stupid... oh, My younger brother speaks more straightforwardly, so don’t blame me for being rude.”

Er Situmu was even more confused: "Then...then please ask Mr. Hua Qian for advice?"

Hua Manlou smiled and said: "I don't dare to give advice, I just have some stupid opinions, if brother E agrees, then he will find a way to do it, if he doesn't agree, then just pretend I didn't say it... In short, in my opinion, Brother E really didn’t study Da Zhao’s court thoroughly, that’s why he hit a wall everywhere.”

"This……"

"You don't believe me?" Hua ManLou looked at Er SiTumu slantingly, "Brother Er, let me ask you, the Great Zhao Chao Tang, who should make the decision on such a matter?"

Erstumu said without hesitation: "Of course it is your Majesty the Khan, so why not ask?"

Hua Manlou said contemptuously: "Look, are you a layman? Let me tell you, Dazhao is not like your grassland. Many things have a reason, that is to say, whoever has a reason will listen to him. And we His Majesty the Emperor has always advocated openness to the public, in order to listen to others, so do we have to discuss all affairs in the court first, and then submit a result for His Majesty to decide?"

"This... seems to be it?"

Hua Manlou said convincingly: "Be more confident, remove the seeming. Then, if you want to trade with each other, don't you have to go through the discussion with the Ministry of Rites and Honglu Temple first, and then submit the memorial to the cabinet, and then forward it to the cabinet? The inspector of ceremonies approved the award, and then passed it on to His Majesty the Emperor?"

"But you have to know that there are too many big and small affairs in Dazhao, and the exchange market is simply dispensable to Dazhao. After all, no matter whether it is cattle, sheep or war horses, Dazhao can guarantee self-sufficiency. Don't worry about it." More, less, you are quite a lot, you three melons don’t talk about Your Majesty, even people like the Ministry of Rites look down on them, so how can you care?”

Er Situm's face was extremely dark, but he knew what Hua Manlou said was the truth, so he muttered for a while and didn't say anything.

Hua Manlou continued to talk nonsense: "So, you have to find an excuse, at least one that is good for Da Zhao, so that everyone can treat you well. To be honest, brother, don't be angry, brother. You are thinking of threatening Da Zhao, right? You said that you would cross the Great Wall and go to the border to plunder and make my Da Zhao’s border pass uneasy, and you even framed Da Zhao Xungui with the intention of changing wives... I am with you Say, the road is narrow, Brother E! Do you think Da Zhao will be afraid of threats from you? As soon as Purdue came out, Tuotuohua was beaten so badly that he had to run back. You Wala... Excuse me, After this big victory, you are more like chickens and dogs, the internal species that are wiped out in ashes in your hands, so..."

Hua Manlou looked at Er Situm with pity, and pointed to the courtyard outside: "So they didn't even give you a better place to live, even the person in charge almost forgot that you still live here... Sad, brother, sad!"

Estumu was trembling with anger: "Don't talk about it! I'll just... I'll go back to the grassland now, let's not talk about it!"

Hua Manlou sighed and said, "Tsk, you said you, why didn't you order city mansions like this? Do you know the truth? I just said that your road is narrow, didn't I say anything else? Then let me remind you now." , living together in Honglu Temple, why don’t you learn from your neighbors?”

Estumu hesitated: "Neighbor?"

"Yes, neighbor." Hua Manlou pointed outside: "Siam, Annan, Luzon, Ryukyu, Sulu, Champa, Chenla, Korea... What are the characteristics of these countries? Why can they Bring goods to Dazhao, but you can't?"

"You mean... paying tribute?" Er Situmu was not stupid, he immediately understood.

"Yes, tribute." Hua Manlou said with a smile: "Wala is still a vassal state of Zhao in theory, right? You just need to learn from Goryeo's sticks or Annan's monkeys, and take anything as a tribute. Wouldn’t it be possible to replace it with a pile of high-quality cloth, white and what-like salt, and fragrant tea leaves all over the tent? It’s obviously a tribute, but it’s actually a mutual market, isn’t it delicious?”

Er Situmu's face was extremely complicated when he heard that.

It's not that he hasn't thought about the matter of paying tribute, it's just that there is no precedent for grassland people to pay tribute to Da Zhao... Rather, they can only accept the exchange market, not the tribute. After all, their combat power is not the stick that Hua Manlou said Comparable to monkeys—national strength determines the attitude towards foreign affairs, and grassland people can attack the frontier from time to time because they are unparalleled in the world, but what about Annan and Luzon?

Monkeys can't be used as combat power, can they?

But at this time and at that time, Huamanlou can bring three hundred youths with him to subdue their three hundred elites, so Big Zhao no longer has to be afraid of the grassland people. In this way, how are they any different from monkeys?At best, it's a monkey who can ride a horse...

Seeing his complicated complexion, Hua Manlou said again: "In my opinion, if Brother E doesn't use the tribute as a breakthrough point, it is estimated that the mutual market will be difficult to reach the sky, but the Tatars are not. Although they lost this time, they paid a lot of money. After the cattle, sheep and war horses are used as compensation, I still have the confidence to talk to Da Zhao, after all, Da Zhao is too lazy to smoke them, right? So once the Tatars and Da Zhao trade each other, you Walak are really hopeless."

This is reasonable, and it is still applicable even in the international relations of Hua Manlou's previous life: for example, a country that sold a large number of cherries to the Chinese Empire jumped and jumped until the Chinese Empire became impatient and finally changed it directly. A partner with good quality, low price and correct attitude, and then...

There's no more, I hope their cherries don't rot in the ground, what a waste.

Er Situmu stared at Hua Manlou, and suddenly said: "Why did Mr. Hua Qian come to show me the way? Excuse me, you and I... don't really have any friendship? Could it be that there is someone in your court?" What noise..."

Hua Manlou sneered and said: "I said that I came to make friends today. After all, Brother E and I don't know each other. Heroes cherish heroes, right? But I don't have much friendship with Tuotuobuhua, and I even listened to him. He said that his attitude towards my father is not very good, so I can't see the trade between Da Zhao and Tatar. Besides, even if there are any rumors in the court, what does it have to do with me, a little Xuanwuwei, five ranks, and thousands of households? ?Brother Er thinks highly of me, right?"

Estumu shook his head and said: "If Mr. Hua Qian is in our Wala, I'm afraid at least he will be a general who protects the country. Even if he is young and can't be qualified, then he should be a popular person next to Khan, so... ...Could it be that your khan has the idea of ​​mutual market?"

Hua Manlou smiled calmly and said, "Brother E is too suspicious, right? If our Majesty intends to trade with each other, he just needs to talk to the Ministry of Rites casually. Why would he appoint me as a lobbyist? Besides...you see clearly My official robe, flying fish suit, military officer! Brother Er has been here in Da Zhao for so many days, don’t you know that military officers are worthless in Da Zhao? Even a celebrity... Tsk, I haven’t even seen His Majesty’s face!”

Er Situmu tried to see whether what Huamanlou said was true or false, but no matter how he saw Huamanlou's words did not seem to be false, he couldn't help but sighed: "You Zhao Guo... what a waste!"

Hua Manlou was taken aback for a moment, and then realized what he meant by waste, and couldn't help laughing: What's the matter, if you invent something casually, you should be a first-class product?Novel dare not write like this!

Sure enough, Er Situmu looked at Huamanlou with burning eyes: "If Mr. Huaqian intends to come to our grassland, I will recommend you to be the national protector general or national teacher, how about it?"

Hua ManLou couldn't help being a little speechless: Damn, who is the lobbyist?The young master is a Chinese descendant of Hong Miaozheng, a descendant of the dragon, who wants to be a traitor and a hozen with you?

Seeing Huamanlou's expressionless face, Erstum continued: "In the grassland, all your demands will be satisfied, status, wealth, women, everything you expect..."

Hua Manlou interrupted him with a wooden face: "I'm not used to living in a yurt."

A barbarian is a barbarian, and even a lobbyist is not a good lobbyist.

As a time traveler, Huamanlou feels that her ideal is to be a salted fish, to have a huge manor and to raise a bunch of skinny horses, and then... well, she can choose to dress them all in girly outfits, Take it with you wherever you go, and when you serve tea and water, you will say in a soft and waxy voice, "Chairman Jinsa, here is the sweep" or something. If necessary, you can also arrange for them to go to Japan for further study or find a cherry blossom girl to train. Experience Experience the gameplay in anime, don't you?

And the gameplay can be eclectic, so what kind of style can't be deduced by this group of obedient and well-behaved girls?South American style, Dashi style, Egyptian style, suck...

But this guy is a woman when he speaks, isn't it vulgar?Besides, the girls on the grassland have more O-shaped legs when they ride horses. If you dance a Tianzhu snake dance, you can probably dance the flavor of a zombie dance, and it doesn’t look good in suspenders, let alone a water snake waist... Cough, in short, watch the housekeeper Horseback riding and archery in the courtyard, serving people and so on, it is better to expect them to be able to guard the house.

But Er Situm couldn't help being a little mad when he heard Hua Manlou's words: "What's the reason? Why don't you build a palace for you?"

"No, the grassland is very windy and sandy."

"you……"

The two stared at each other for a long time, and finally Er Situm sighed: "Forget it, it's me, Meng Lang."

Hua Manlou shrugged: "Brother Er, you should think about your own affairs, I'm leaving now."

Having said all that needed to be said, Hua Manlou didn't bother to continue listening to his nonsense.

Er Situmu grabbed Hua Manlou's hand: "Mr. Hua Qian, tell me the truth, if we pay tribute, can we get a large amount of supplies? We don't want those flashy things..."

Hua Manlou bared her teeth and said, "To be honest, I also have a Mongolian name called Ma Le Gobi Song Shou!"

(Of course I’m busy during Chinese New Year. Don’t you need to visit relatives? Even if you don’t leave, relatives will come? Let me ask you, have any of your toys, figurines, and PSPs been damaged by relatives? Or just go along? Don’t give these people face at that time, because... you are also children!)

154. I can't speak well?

After everything that needs to be said has been said, Huamanlou is too lazy to continue talking nonsense with Erstumu. Anyway, considering the current situation of Wala, their only hope of survival is to trade with Da Zhao. It is best to guarantee the mutual market. It can destroy the mutual market between Tatar and Ming Dynasty, but these are not Hua Manlou's worries.

After leaving the Honglu Temple, Hua Manlou pondered for a while, and invited Peng Guang to hand him a piece of silver: "Take it..."

Peng Guangshun took the money and said with a smile on his face, "Thank you, Mr. Qian, for the reward!"

"No thanks... Pooh! Why is your face so big?" Hua Manlou kicked him lightly and said angrily, "Is there someone from the Xuanwu Guard in Honglu Temple? Send them the money and let them pay attention Pay attention to the movement of the Wala people, if they go to Honglu Temple Minister to talk about the tribute, send someone to let me know!"

After all, Xuanwuwei is a secret service agency. They not only have the tasks of patrolling the streets, spying, apprehending and interrogating, and collecting usury.And not only the Honglu Temple has detectives, but the Six Departments and even the Imperial College have detectives—of course, this group of detectives is very unpopular, who would like to be monitored in the workplace?

Moreover, the group of detectives is the most excluded type of people in Xuanwuwei's official position, otherwise they could be sent to work as useless detectives?Therefore, Peng Guang shook the money in his hand, and said with some reluctance: "It's just to buy some news, just go and say hello, why does Mr. Qian have to spend so much money? Those cystic worms... "

Hua Manlou said angrily: "If you're told to go, you can go, so much nonsense! Do you think I'm the kind of person who makes people work for nothing? And maybe the good fortune you made this time can be used next time? Get out Get out!"

Peng Guang responded and rolled away.

As Huamanlou expected, Erstum struggled until mid-afternoon, and then reluctantly sent someone to find the Minister of Honglu Temple, mentioned that Wala wanted to pay tribute to Da Zhao, and begged Da Zhao In the matter of paying tribute, there can be some preferential treatment for Wala-yes, it is a begging, which is completely shameless...

The five liang of silver that was spent all over the building was not in vain. He received the news immediately, and even passed Erstumu's wording to him almost exactly.

"Uncle Fang, send someone to Duke Ying's mansion to deliver a letter for me!" Hua Manlou took out a note written earlier in the morning, sealed it, and handed it to the housekeeper, Uncle Fang, before cursing: "You still claim to be Where's the eagle on the grassland? Is this the eagle? I'm afraid it's not a chicken thief! It takes a long time to struggle with such a trivial matter, and I thought he really couldn't figure it out!"

"Master, who are you scolding?" Qin'er walked in from outside the house and put the tea tray on the Huamanlou table.

"Oh, no one, a gruff man...Huh? You..." Inadvertently glanced at Qin'er, Hua Manlou noticed that Qin'er's eyes were red, as if she had cried, so she immediately asked, "Who is it?" Did it offend you or what?"

The little girl immediately dodged and said: "No...no..."

Hua Manlou snorted coldly: "No? Can we cry without you? These people in the house are becoming more and more outrageous. I don't know if you are someone close to me, but dare to provoke you? Fang Bo? Fang Bo!"

Fang Bo, who had just left the house, came in in response: "Young Master, what else do you want?"

Qin'er had never seen Hua Manlou so angry before, and said in fright, "Master, no one has messed with me! I... I am..."

Hua Manlou ignored her, and said to Fang Bo with a cold face: "Whoever is in the house who provoked Qin'er, let him come to me immediately to make amends for Qin'er! I am not at home these days, and these people are against the sky. Is it gone?"

Huamanlou doesn't care about the other things, he can pretend not to notice the occasional servants in the house who are lazy or something, but to provoke Qin'er... I'm afraid he really doesn't want to hang out in the house, right?

But who would have thought Fang Bo had a strange expression upon hearing this: "This...young master..."

"Why, I can't speak well?" Hua Manlou turned cold, and put out the sheet music of the young master of Huafu.

Fang Bo looked at Huamanlou, then at Qin'er, coughed dryly and said, "Qin'er, you... you should just say it yourself."

After finishing talking, the old man actually went out, Hua Manlou looked at Qin'er in astonishment and said, "What do you mean? Could it be that... I messed with you? When?"

Qin'er blushed: "No...no...just... Miss Qiaoqiao..."

Hua Manlou was stunned: "What the hell? Did she... provoke you?"

Qin'er Qiqi Ai Ai said: "It's not messing with me, it's...it's Miss Qiaoqiao... She took the young master's clothes to wash while I wasn't paying attention, obviously...Obviously these things are what I should do, she... ...If she did it, wouldn't it be... Isn't it a violation of the rules? They said that Miss Qiaoqiao is going to be the young master's concubine, and she is not a master or a servant if she is asked to do these things..."

Hua Manlou was dumbfounded: "Just...for this?"

Qin'er replied embarrassingly: "And if...if she does everything I should do, then...then what should I do if the young master doesn't want me...so...in a hurry... I just cried..."

Hua Manlou's lips twitched a few times, wondering if he should reprimand the little girl for thinking too much or pat her head to comfort her. Finally, he pulled the little girl over and patted her buttocks twice. The slap made Qin'er scream and then said viciously: "I said earlier that you should not do these things if your hands are swollen. You can still cry when someone else did it for you? Also, who told you that Qiaoqiao Want to be my concubine?"

Although the little girl has a personality, her world view has been poisoned by this era. Hua Manlou felt that it was necessary to break her up violently. After all...

This is the default little daughter-in-law raised by my family, how can I really let her be a housekeeper?

Qin'er covered her buttocks and looked at Hua Manlou angrily: "Everyone in the house has said it!"

Hua Manlou sneered and said, "It's not my decision to accept a room with young master, it's their decision? According to me, I should take you first!"

Qin'er stared blankly at Huamanlou with rounded eyes, and after a long time, she suddenly yelled and ran away covering her face: "Young master is talking weird again!"
