Chapter 196 Lessons from Gao Qiu
The profit of 3,000 mu of greenhouse vegetables exceeds 30,000 mu of grain. In addition to manual wages and road losses, the profit of more than 10,000 taels in this month alone is more than 10,000 taels, and even franchise stores make a lot of money.
In the underground secret room of the cart, Zhu Wu and Wu Song were drinking tea there. Wu Song tickled his mouth and said, "This situation seems not good. I have given all the gifts I should give. The empress dowager has spoken all the time. Why haven't he moved yet?"
Zhu Wu smiled and said, "The position of the military commander in the capital is not very big, but he has great power. Dong Ping is there in the military commander in the Dongping Mansion, and he can only arrange it to Jeju for his brother. However, Grand Marshal Gao is in charge of the Palace Commander's Mansion and has absolute say in the appointment of military commanders in each state. Even if the emperor wants to arrange for the military commander in the Jeju, he has to listen to Gao Qiu's opinions. Gao Qiu said casually that you are too young and need experience, so this matter will be ruined."
Wu Song said: "This Gao Qiu is really fucked with a bad person. I'll ask in the past two days. If he really wants to make a trip, he has to teach him a lesson and make him have some concerns."
Zhu Wudao: "How to teach a lesson?"
"Scar him and let him know that he is powerful. We can do it too," said Wu Song.
Zhu Wudao: "Brother, please calm down. Qinghe Island is too close to the Song Dynasty and can only be used as a springboard. It is difficult to achieve great things. However, Danluo Island is very far away. As long as you have money, 100,000 mercenaries are not a problem. It is just a bit far away and the wind is not that stable. If the problem of returning soldiers is solved, Danluo Island can be used as a Tibetan soldier island to raise 100,000 elite soldiers. When it needs to be used, it will be used to drive the ship to come over."
"I find a way to solve this problem as soon as possible, but the main reason is that the money and food are not sufficient, so the development is gradually getting started. How do you feel when you discussed with the Yuchi family in Chang'an last time? Let's organize a cavalry team to escort the Yuchi family's caravan." Wu Song asked.
Zhu Wu pulled a map and said, "Brother, this is a map of the Western Regions. From the west of Lanzhou, it is basically not controlled by the Song Dynasty court. Yumen Pass is all in the hands of Xixia. The Uighurs, Tubos, Xixia, Yuezhi, and countless foreign countries, and countless horse thieves from tribes, all counting on this business trip. This is why wars are almost every day but the business road is not broken. The border areas of the Western Regions emphasize strength as the most respectable. There is no need to talk about reason, but morality. Whose horse fast sword is the best. We must force ourselves to go through it and have a lot of resistance."
Wu Song nodded: "But these thousands of miles of land are tempting. It would be great if we had the ability to wipe out the forces in the Western Regions."
Zhu Wu smiled and said, "My brother is ambitious. Although it is difficult, it is not impossible. It is not impossible to build a small city of our own in the desert area west of Lanzhou, form a cavalry and camel team, and develop slowly. It is entirely possible to sweep the Western Regions in more than ten years."
Wu Song deeply agreed and said, "First drive the Tongda Big Car dealer in the Central Plains area, and take out our energy to develop in the Western Regions."
A few days later, Wu Song got news from the palace through Chao Yanei that the queen's birthday party had greenhouse dishes provided by Wu Song, and the empress dowager and the ministers attending the birthday party were very happy. In addition, Wu Song made great contributions during his tenure as the police commander of Dongping Prefecture. According to the recommendation of the prefect Cheng, the emperor wanted to promote Wu Song to be the chief military commander of the Jeju Prefecture, the shopkeeper of the Jeju Prefecture. However, Gao Qiu said that it took only one year for Wu Song to go from a poor man to a police commander, and it was already very promoted. It was not good for young people to promote too quickly.
The emperor's ears are soft, and after Gao Qiu said this, it is true that young people should have more experience and do what they can do when they promote so quickly, so Wu Song's promotion is gone. However, it is not entirely unhealthy. He gave Wu Song a set of 600-mile-rushed flags and tokens used for the post station. He took this token and flag to deliver vegetables to the palace. No one on the way dared to stop collecting taxes.
Wu Song was so angry that he would rather offend a gentleman than offend a villain. Gao Qiu is the villain among villains. Until now, although Wu Song and Gao Qiu have never met, the struggle between the two has already begun.
Wu Song left a secret code and asked Wu Yun, who was in charge of Bianjing intelligence, to discuss things by the river. Wu Song waited for a long time but didn't see anyone coming. He was anxious when he suddenly saw a sloppy old man holding a black job with a few big money inside.
"Brother, it's me." said the old man.
Wu Song said in surprise: "Why are you dressing like this?"
Wu Yun said: "The dogs in the six gates have zero noses. Gao Qiu's people are not vegetarians. My brother must not leave his tail if he wants to move. Tomorrow morning, the Taiwei will go to the imperial guard camp in the west of the city to inspect and train, with about 100 followers."
"Okay, go, be careful."
Gao Qiu had a great desire for military power, otherwise he would not have tried his best to squeeze out old men like Wang Jin and Lin Chong. So he often inspected the military camps and checked the training of soldiers.
Gaoqi got up early this day, and walked back to the court. After breakfast, he changed into clothes and rode in a sedan chair. Hundreds of entourage guards came out of the west gate. Not far away was a bridge on the Bian River. As soon as the guards in front were on the bridge, five or six men in black turned over from both sides of the bridge railing. They were half kneeling on the ground and holding crossbow arrows in their hands, puff puff puff puff puff puff puff puff puff puff puff puff puff puff puff puff puff puff puff puff puff puff puff puff puff puff puff puff puff puff puff puff puff puff puff puff puff puff puff puff puff puff puff puff puff puff puff puff puff puff puff puff puff puff puff puff puff puff puff puff puff puff puff puff puff puff puff puff puff puff puff puff puff puff puff puff puff puff puff puff puff puff puff puff puff puff puff puff puff puff puff puff puff puff puff puff puff puff puff puff puff puff puff puff puff puff puff puff puff puff puff puff puff puff not shot anywhere else, specifically shooting Gaoqi's sedan chair.
Gao Qiu was taking a nap when suddenly the guards pressed his head heavily. A feather arrow was trembling just now.
After shooting the arrow, these people threw several bamboo tubes over, and the smoke-burning bamboo tubes quickly disturbed Gao Qiu's guards. Everyone thought that it would explode and ran away in fear.
"Catch assassins, catch assassins." The group screamed like headless flies, and when the smoke dissipated, it was found that nothing was left.
Gao Qiu was frightened and his heart was beating wildly. What kind of world is this? Someone actually assassinated the imperial court official in the street. He forgot how he, a court official, framed the loyal and kind-hearted.
"Go to Kaifeng Prefecture to report the case immediately and investigate it. You will not give up until you find out." Gao Qiu was so embarrassed that he was angry.
Kaifeng Mansion has gone, but someone has responded to it. The case is too big and Kaifeng Mansion cannot manage it, so the Ministry of Justice takes over the investigation.
The masters of the Six Gates were also blind. When they met the master, they only found out that the man in black was lurking on both sides of the bridge, dived and escaped from the water after shooting an arrow. He could not find anything else. He paid attention to evidence when handling cases, and suspected that he could not be used as evidence. The Ministry of Justice was helpless.
Gao Qiu guessed it roughly and decided that it was Wu Song. Although there were many people offended, most of them were martial artists, such as Lin Chong, Wang Jin, Lu Da, etc. They were fine to slash and kill, but this kind of ambush could not be hit.
