Chapter 511: Alliance
The man left, but the words remained. No one was a good deal. The minister sat alone in the public room and thought for a long time. When the Shangshu Xia Yuanji arrived at the ministry hall, he immediately went to ask for a meeting.
Xia Yuanji has been very busy recently and has no time to deal with such a small matter. In fact, this matter is not big, but Xia Yuanji doesn't want to do it, and the reason why he doesn't want to do it is very simple. What kind of thing are you, Hao Fenglou? Even if you are the commander of the Jinyiwei, it involves such a thing. It is me, Xia, who has the final say. If you take care of your divine guard so much, you may even be criticized and become a stain on your life. Why did you sacrifice yourself to do things for you?
Furthermore, now the emperor is rushing north, with 50,000 or 60,000 troops waiting to be launched. The border town also needs to inform you. So many messy things are enough. You can do this big thing if you are tense.
Some people may not offend you or fight with you, but they can suffocate you to death. Even if you come to the door in person, he will still greet you with a smile and be able to be kind to you. What you say is better than what you sing in the opera, but if you want to do something, there is no way!
Of course, Xia Yuanji was well aware of this, so he was indifferent to Zhou Sili and was too lazy to pay attention to it. Anyway, he was just a matter of one official or a minor official, so he was "unaware" at all, so he was not interested in dealing with this bullshit thing.
But now, the Xiabutang, which this man praised, became cautious. He squinted his eyes, stroked his beard thoughtfully, put his other hand on the desk, carefully experiencing Yang Shiqi's words. Finally, he said slowly: "Mr. Yang is very cunning, and he will not come out of this kind of head. Although there are gaps in the cabinet, Yang Gong definitely does not. He is a little strange to be with Hao Fenglou. Now, he is a little strange. When Yang Gong comes this time, he is a patrol department official, but no matter how I look at it, it looks like Xiang Zhuang dances a sword. What does he mean when he says so much to Zhou Sili? You just said, Mr. Yang has a word that His Majesty asked His Majesty to ask repeatedly?"
"Yes, it's just such an original sentence. Maybe it's a bit offensive, but that's what it means."
Xia Yuanji couldn't help but smile bitterly: "It seems that Mr. Yang is catering to the holy will, but then again, Your Majesty is so concerned about a divine guard? The saint of the Hao family is not that big. What did Mr. Yang say since then?"
"I didn't say anything anymore. After sending the Zhou surnamed, I didn't mention this matter at all."
Xia Yuanji not only did not feel relaxed, but instead doubted: "It seems that the emperor has repeatedly asked questions. The emperor asked, and he asked, "Whether we can understand it has nothing to do with him. After all, I am not the same method as him. If the matter is done, it is difficult for the emperor to explain that it is me, not him. You say this old fox... cough cough..." Xia Yuanji realized that he had lost his words, so he coughed twice to cover it up and raised his eyes: "Mr. Yang, the best person who is good at fighting is the smart. No matter what, since he has done it,
This is brought to the Ministry of War. If it is indifferent, it will be difficult to explain in the future. I think, let’s do this. Choose the matter of the camp and do it according to the Zhou Si Li. All offerings, money and grain. Although it is difficult for the Ministry of War, there are only one or two thousand people coming, and it will not be damaged. If you move around, there are still some. The Weaver Bureau will replace the batch of winter clothes reserved for them first. As for the others...you can do it yourself. I am not upset. Yes, that’s it..."
Xia Yuanji was obviously not in a good mood, but his arms could not resist his thighs. The more Yang Shiqi was like this, the less Xia Yuanji dared to take risks in this matter.
As long as there is an explanation, it will be very appropriate to handle anything. The Ministry of War actually came in person and asked Zhou Sili to choose a camp. They also handed out the list of money and grain. The winter clothes were all ready-made. The personal winter clothes prepared by the Weaving Bureau were the most amusing and hilarious that the materials used were actually from Liangshan.
However, this is normal. Most of the large-scale weaving in the world now use Lang Son cloth. On the one hand, the quality is good. Although it is not as good as silk, it is much better than many cloths with unstable quality. In addition, large-scale purchases are often very low. Once the price is low, the buyer can extract oil and water from it. Just like this weaving bureau, in previous years, a set of personal military uniforms reported a loss of 700 silver silver. Now, when I directly imported the cloth from Lang Son, even if I quoted 500 yuan, there was still a lot of oil and water. The extra 200 yuan was not polite, and everyone was able to afford it.

It was already dark, and Yang Shiqi was not on duty in the palace tonight, so he paid a little early and came back from the palace in a warm sedan chair. As soon as he arrived at the mansion, a doorman came with a greeting and said, "Master, the commander of the Jinyiwei Commander Hao Fenglou asked for a visit, saying yes... he said he wanted to thank the lord."
Yang Shiqi took the greeting post and looked at it with a smile. Then he saw the line of words 'Xiaguan Jinyiwei Commander Hao Fenglou' written on the sign. Yang Shiqi pressed the greeting post aside and said lightly: "Tell him that I am tired. Today, I don't have to see guests. As for thanking, there is no need to. I have never given him any favors. Everything is done according to the rules of the court. So, where should he come from and where to go? Well, just say that, naturally, be polite and be cautious in your words. Don't bump into him, go."
After saying that, Yang Shiqi had already walked to the screen, a few maids had prepared their clothes. Yang Shiqi changed into a regular dress and sat down. Everything was as usual, eating tea slowly, and began to think about some of the words and deeds of the day when on duty, thinking about everyone and every word.
